This is not my favorite chapter, I'm not really sure... But tell me what you think.

Kate was anxious, almost nervous. It had been over two weeks since she had seen Pete. She really missed him. Yes, she talked to him over the phone every other day, but it was hardly enough.

She had thought about calling before her visit, but she decided to surprise him. It was five in the afternoon, hopefully Chuck would be home, if not she would simply wait for him. She parked her Camaro and headed towards his house. Before she could reach the door, Chuck saw her coming by the window from the living room.

"Kate, hi! I didn't know you were coming today." He said after opening the door, he was surprised to see her and had a smile on his face.

"Mom!" Pete appeared from behind Chuck and gave his mother a tight hug.

"Hey baby! I missed you so much." She said while kissed his head.

Pete grabbed Kate by the hand and pushed her into the house. "Wait until you see the new game daddy bought for me, is so cool!"

Chuck watched Pete taking his mom to his bedroom to show his new game, he knew that those two had a lot of catching up to do; he would talk to Kate later.

The day before he had the talk with Sarah; it felt like a weight had been lifted from his chest, all the things he had told her were valid, but all his insecurities were still real, and if there was any chance he could contemplate them getting back together, they needed to find a way to work on their issues.

He needed answers. Not the kind of answers that can be answered with simple words. He needed to really believe it. If was just himself… He wouldn't think twice. The woman he loved most in the world was asking for another chance with him. If was just himself, he wouldn't care if she leaved tomorrow, her true reasons or true feelings, he would just lost himself for her and the future be damned, he wouldn't care anymore. But he wasn't deciding just for himself now, any precipitous decision would most definitely affect Pete's life too, and that wasn't acceptable.

"Pete's playing his new game."

"Huh? Oh yeah, give it a few days and he'll get tired of it just like the others." He said that as Kate sat on the couch next to him.

"I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, so I plan to go out with him in the morning, would you mind if he skipped class?"

"You're leaving so soon?"

"Yeah, I wish I could stay more… Anyway I'm going to a hotel tonight and… I'll pick him up eight o'clock tomorrow, sounds good?"

"Yeah. You know you can stay here tonight with him, you don't need to go to a hotel."

"Really?"

"Of course, Kate, you're always welcome here."

Sarah Walker haven't been happy in a long time. She had almost forgotten how it felt to feel… good. Chuck had admitted he still had feelings for her, that he hadn't actually gotten over her. He had told her everything she had thought she would never hear, the problem was just the way he said it. Like he didn't want to feel that way. And when she kissed him, he was so hesitant. She should have known, of course it wouldn't be easy. He was doubting, and he was right to be. She looked over the window from Casey's apartment and saw Chuck, Pete and another woman leaving the apartment, they were all smiling. That woman… It must be Pete's mom. Behind her, she heard a grunt.

"Spying the neighborhood now Walker? If you're feeling nostalgic I'm sure Beckman would be happy to give your job back."

"Is she Kate?" Casey looked over her shoulder and responded.

"Yes, she is. Pretty isn't she? You know how Chuck has a thing for brunettes." Ignoring his teasing Sarah talked again.

"Did she spend the night there?" Noticing the bag Kate was holding she asked.

"Her son lives there, Walker."

"Right. I'm gonna take a shower."

"Ellie is making dinner tonight at her place. She told me to ask you to come."

"Oh. Are you going?"

"Of course I'm going, unlike her brother Ellie is a great cooker. It's seven, don't be late."

"I won`t."

Chuck was getting ready for dinner at Ellie's. Honestly, he wasn't really in the mood for it, neither was Pete. It broke his heart to see his son crying after Kate left, he almost got mad at her for leaving so soon. Chuck lifted Pete in his arms and went to his sister's.

"Chuck, hi. What took you so long? Everyone is already here." Everyone? Taking a look at the room, Chuck saw Devon, Clara, Casey and Sarah already on the table.

"Sorry guys. Hope you haven't started without me." Putting Pete on the floor Chuck went to the table.

While dinning, the place was filled by an awkward silence, even the children were quiet. After eating, Casey and Sarah helped Devon clean up the table while Chuck and Ellie sat on the couch as Pete and Clara watched TV.

"Why is mom not here?" Chuck asked Ellie.

"She couldn't come today. But I'm going out with her and Clara this weekend; do you want to go Pete?" Looking at her nephew she could see the sad look in his eyes. "Chuck what's wrong with him?"

"Kate came visit last night and left a few hours ago."

"Oh. Poor Pete." Turning her head to look at the kitchen Ellie saw Devon talking to their guests. "How are things going between you and Sarah?"

"I don't know. I talked to her, told her a lot of things and she kissed me…"

"Chuck that's…"

"Too soon? That are a lot of things we need to resolve first. Things I need to know."

"I understand. Just give it some time little brother."

Chuck was the first one to leave; Pete was already sleeping on the couch, so he could use it as an excuse to leave earlier. He said his goodbyes, took his son and went to his apartment. After putting his son on his bed, he went to his computer; finish some report he had started earlier.

About an hour later he went outside and sat by the edge of the fountain to get some fresh air. He rested his elbows on his thighs and covered his face with his hands.

"Chuck? Are you ok?" Chuck looked up to see a worried look on Sarah's face.

"I'm fine. Just a bit tired." Sarah nodded and sat by his side.

"I'm sorry I didn't really talk to you today."

"It's okay; I just figured you needed some time to think."

"You have to understand, I have a son now, and important things to deal with… And, I need to know Sarah… Am I really the only reason you're here?" Sarah looked at him and answered.

"No." Chuck frowned and she continued. "Yes, I'm here for you, and because of you. But I'm also here for myself. Because I don't want to be the person I was when… Chuck, I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, all I know for sure is that you're are the person I want to be with whatever my decisions are, all I know for sure is that I love you." Chuck gave her a little smile and all he could think was how good it felt to hear that.

"Well, then let's take our time." Chuck got up and said. "But now…" He turned to look at her and continued.

"Will you go on a date with me?"
