AN: Hey guys, I'm back. I apologize for the delay, school is being a bitch right now and I got my first-term reports which were not entirely to my liking in English and graphics. Anyways, term holidays start in two weeks which hopefully will give me more time to write. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter and please leave a review.

Chapter 10

Chuck and Sarah had been happily dating for two months and things couldn't be better. They went out, double-dated with Ellie and Awesome, spent nights at each others places and made out in the supply closet at work in their free time. It was a Saturday morning, Chuck was doing something with Morgan and Sarah was just lazing around in her apartment, channel surfing when the doorbell rang.

Standing up, she opened the door, to see non other than conman, Jack Burton, her father standing on the other side.

"Hi Darlin," he said.

"Dad. What are you doing here?" she asked.

"What? Not happy to see your old man?"

"More like surprised. Most people call first, Dad."

"Angel, I think we both know I'm not like most people."

"Sorry, um come in," she said, as he stepped into her apartment. "Business in LA?" she mused.

"Finished. I figured as long as I'm in town, I'd come see you."

"That's a bit risky isn't it? Hanging around after you've stolen money from someone."

"Stolen? Is that what you think of your old man? A thief? Darlin' a thief has to run out of town as fast as he can, but a good con-man-"

"A good con-man can leave whenever he wants," Sarah smiled slightly. "I remember, Dad."

"Exactly," Jack nodded.

"So which one was it this time? The Lichtenstein?" Another nod."So you still working alone or have you found a new partner?"

"You know no one's as good as you. But I did have a partner a couple of months back, he was a hopeless case though. Almost screwed up the Lichtenstein, I had him act like Lichtenstein and he ended up calling himself Litchtensin instead. I dropped him after that. So what have you been up to?"

"Normal life," she said with a slight air of bitterness in her voice. It wasn't that she didn't love her life now, she did. But it made her wish sometimes that her dad had given her a normal life, or she stayed with her mom.

Jack noticed a picture frame near the couch, it was one of his daughter and a curly-haired man. They both looked really happy. "Who's this?" he asked.

"That's Chuck," she replied, pausing for a second, she elaborated. "My boyfriend."

Jack raised an eyebrow. "You have a boyfriend now?"

Sarah nodded. "Yeah."

"Chuck?"

"It's short for Charles."

"What's he like?"

"He doesn't come from money, if that's what you're wondering," Sarah said. "He's not an heir to a throne, or to a big company. We work together, he's just a nice, normal guy." He is so much more than that. Sarah thought.

"He's a schnook."

"Dad! I really like him, okay."

"How long have you been together?"

"Two months," Sarah replied.

"He makes you happy?"

"Yeah, he does."

Jack glanced down for a moment and then turned to his daughter again. "Then I guess that's all I should want for you."

7:00PM

Chuck knocked on Sarah's door, they were going to go to a Mexican place for dinner. He smiled, the last two months had been the happiest of his life and he knew that it was all thanks to Sarah. He knocked again. The door was answered by an older man.

"Yeah."

"Hi...Is Sarah in?" Chuck asked.

"Yeah, you're the schnook-er boyfriend, right?" he asked.

"Yep, that's me. I'm Chuck," he said. "Chuck Bartowski.

"Jack Burton, Sarah's dad."

Chuck nervously stuck his hand out. "Nice to meet you, Mr Burton, sir."

"You too," Jack said letting Chuck in.

"Wait um, Burton?"Chuck asked, trying to piece together why Sarah and her dad would have different last names.

"Well-"

"Chuck!" Sarah comes out from her bedroom, fully dressed. "You're early."

"Yeah, uh traffic wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," he said giving her a quick peck on the cheek. "You look great."

"Thanks," she said. "We should probably get going."

"Sure, um Mr Burton, sir, would you like to join us for dinner?"

"Er,no thanks. I wouldn't want to intrude," Jack said, although he was curious about the schnook- Chuck, he corrected himself. And he seriously doubted that his daughter would give him much information.

"It's really not an intrusion."

"Well, then alright," Jack said. "Just let me change, I won't be a minute."

As soon as Jack headed into the bathroom to change, Chuck noticed the look on Sarah's face. Wondering, if he'd done something wrong by inviting her dad to dinner he sat next to her on the couch.

"Are you okay? Crap, I didn't upset you did I? Cause I can just say that-" he began to ramble.

"No, you didn't upset me," she gave a half smile. "It's just there are some things..." she trailed off.

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. What were you saying?"

Sarah took a deep breath. "Look, with my dad, comes a lot of my past and there's just some stuff...' she sighed. "there's just some stuff I'd rather that you not know about, okay?"

Chuck glanced down for a bit, wondering if he'd done anything to make her feel this way. "Did I don something to make you feel like this?"

"No!" she said quickly. "God no, Chuck. You've made me the happiest I've ever been these past two months," Sarah said, taking his hands with her own to make a point and giving him a kiss. "It's just hard for me talking about my past and with my dad here it opens up a lot of stuff I'm not ready to talk about."

Chuck stared down at their interlocked hands before facing her again. "Will you ever tell me?"

"Someday, when I'm ready," she said. "I know that's really vague and I'm sorry that it may or may not be soon. I will tell you just...please Chuck," Sarah said, gripping his hands tighter.

"Okay," he said in barely above a whisper."I'll be here, whenever your ready," Chuck told her, giving her a kiss on top of her head.

She gave him a smile. "Thank you."

Neither of them knew that Jack Burton had heard what they had been talking about. This Chuck guy really did love his daughter. Jack smiled slightly, he always thought that his little girl would be like him, never really settle down. But maybe she had found a guy worth doing that for.

Mexican Restaurant

Chuck, Sarah and Jack were having dinner at a Mexican place near the pier. It was nice, kind of quiet, but nice altogether.

"So Mr Burton, what is it that you do exactly?"

Sarah tensed up, but Jack wasn't as worried. "I close deals with people," he explained. "Make sure the money's correctly transferred, account details, stuff like that. So tell me Charlie, how'd you and my daughter meet?"

"We work in the same company. I'm in IT and my first job was to fix her laptop," Chuck said.

Sarah smiled at him. "Thank God he did."

Chuck smiled back. "Yeah I'm so grateful your laptop broke down," it had the tone of a joke, but he really meant it.

"So, Chuck, where'd you go to college?"

"Um, Stanford."

Jack nodded his head. "Just out of curiosity, how much was your...pay raise? Since you moved to Banes and Co."

"Dad!"

"What? It's a valid question."

"It's okay. Actually I wasn't paid very much at my last job," Chuck said trying to avoid the fact he worked at a Buy More. "So Banes and Co was really a step up."

Sarah's Apartment

9:00PM

Chuck, Sarah and Jack had arrived back at Sarah's apartment. Sarah went into the bathroom and Chuck and Jack were left in the living room. Chuck didn't ask about Sarah's past at dinner and Jack had noticed the way he'd acted around her. Jack Burton was a lot of things, and one thing he was was very observant.

"Hey Chuck can I talk to you about something."

"Uh, sure," Chuck replied.

"Look um, I see the way that you look at my daughter. God knows I was never the greatest father while she was growing up but I do love her, she's my daughter. So will you take care of her, for me?"Jack Burton was not a sucker and he'd raised his daughter to be that way, but this Chuck guy (schnook or not, though probably schnook) definitely loved his daughter.

"Mr Burton, sir, I um, I love your daughter more than anything," Chuck said. "Of course I'll take care of her."

Jack smiled. "Good to know."

Neither of them knew that Sarah had listened to the entire thing. Her heart skipped a beat. Chuck loves her. Or at least that's what he'd said. Sarah stepped into the living room. Chuck instantly noticed her.

"Hey, I should be going now," he said, giving her a quick kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow. It was nice meeting you Mr Burton." He said before heading off.

Sunday 7:30PM

Sarah's Apartment

Tonight was just one of their couples date nights. A movie and some cuddling. Jack had had left that afternoon and Chuck and Sarah were relaxing, channel surfing, since Sarah didn't have any movies. But her mind was more occupied with Chuck and her dad's conversation she'd overheard. There was a old mafia movie playing on TV when Sarah spoke up.

"Chuck?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm ready."

"Ready?"

"To tell you about my past," she explained.

This was the last thing Chuck expected. After all, it was only yesterday she had told him she wasn't ready and didn't know when she would be. So it wasn't surprising he was taken aback.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah. I know I said I didn't know when I'd be ready. But..." she hit the power button to turn of the TV. "I overheard you talking with my dad yesterday. And I decided, you should know what you're getting into. You should know about my past."

"Sarah, whatever happened in your past...It doesn't change the way I feel about you."

"I just need to tell you, okay?" Chuck nodded and she continued. "Sarah Walker isn't my real name, or at least it's not the name I was born with. My real name is Samantha Williams. My dad was a con artist, I usually participated in his cons. I lived with my grandmother for a few months while my parents were arguing, eventually I hid in my dad's car and convinced him to let me stay with him," she took a deep breath. "We went from town to town- fake name to fake name and con to con. We were always changing identities . I was Katie O'Connel in Wisconsin, Rebecca Franco in Cleavland. By the time I was a teenager I didn't participate in my dad's stuff anymore but I still went with him." She looked down, hoping to find more courage to tell the rest of her story, and Chuck gripped her hand.

"My dad finally got caught in San Diego where I was known as Jenny Burton. I was planning to skip town, but I decided to stick around till graduation. High school was not a particularly good time for me, but against all odds I graduated and made it into Harvard. But I changed my name to Sarah Walker because I wanted a fresh start. The rest you know already, I was roommates with Carina, met Bryce, broke up with him and moved down here and met you." She finished, she'd been holding back tears during the entire story and wasn't planning on letting them out now.

"Wow," was all Chuck said. "Thank you for telling me about your past, it can't have been easy."

She shook her head. "No, it wasn't. But if I want anyone to know, I wanted it to be you."

"I told you before you started telling me about your past that it wouldn't change the way I felt about you and it hasn't," he took a deep breath. "I love you Sarah, I'll always love you no matter what."

"Really?" she asked.

"Really," he said, there was no room for doubt in his voice. "I love you Sarah Walker and it doesn't matter to me that wasn't the name you were born with, I love you for you and it doesn't matter to me what your name is or what you did in your past. Nothing that's ever happened or ever going to happen will change that."

She broke out into a huge smile. "I love you too, Chuck," she said. "Always will."

Chuck gave her a passionate kiss, it was sweet at the same time and showed their feelings. When they finally pulled apart, they both had huge grins on their faces. They continued kissing for a few minutes before Sarah took his hand and led him into the bedroom.

They fell back onto the bed, still kissing and clothed. Chuck flipped them a bit to be on top as she started undoing the buttons on his shirt. Never having his lips leave hers, Chuck caressed her face and deepened the kiss even further. They finally had to pull apart due to their need of oxygen.

"I love you Sarah Walker," he said.

"I love you too, Chuck Bartowski."

Monday 7:00AM

Sarah's Apartment

Sarah woke up, not by an alarm clock, which she usually did (And sometimes ended up murdering) but by the fact that she was a bit cold. She was still wrapped in her blanket, but Chuck wasn't next to her. That was a shame, because she loved waking up in his arms, it always made her feel safe and secure.

"Chuck?" she groggily asked as she sat up and saw that he was awake, looking for his shirt.

"Hey," he said greeting her. "Morning,"he smiled, giving her a kiss. "You usually don't get up this early."

"Couldn't help it. My boyfriend let the bed get cold," she smirked.

"Sorry, I'll make it up to you," he says, sitting next to her on the bed.

"And how do you intend to do that Mr. Bartowski?"she asked.

"Like this, Miss Walker," he replied as he began kissing down her neck.

"Mmmm, God that feels good," she moaned as he continued kissing her neck. "Why were you up so early anyway?"

"I have to get back home to change and get dressed for work," he stopped kissing her, just to look at her. She even looked gorgeous at seven in the morning. To him, there was simply no one more beautiful than his girlfriend.

"What?" she asked, noticing him looking at her.

"Sorry, you just look so sexy in the morning...and in the afternoon, and at night. Well, you always look sexy," he chuckled a bit but he meant every word he said and she knew it. "You are so beautiful."

She laughed. "Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself, handsome," she smiled and kissed him. Sarah paused after they pulled away."Well, I suppose you should get going then."

"Yeah," he sighed, picking his shirt up off the floor. "See you at work then."

"Okay, sure."

He kissed her on the cheek before he was one foot out the door, he stopped himself.

"Hey Sarah?"

"Yes, Chuck?"

"I love you," he grinned.

"I love you too," suddenly she smiled slyly. "Actually can you stay a little longer?"

"I'd love to but I have to get dressed for work and all my stuff's at home," he said sadly.

"Oh, alright. I suppose I'll shower by myself then," she said as she walked to the en-suite bathroom, she let her head stick out from the door. "You sure you don't want to stay just a little bit longer?"

"You are an evil woman," he said, grinning as he took off the shirt he had just put on about three minutes ago and joining her in the bathroom.

"Yeah, but you love me anyway."

"That I do," Chuck smiled.

AN: I apologize if this progressed to quickly, I'm a sucker for Charah fluff and after my report, I needed something to cheer me up.
