Chuck is about to resume the story when a knock is heard at the front door. Everybody turns their head as Morgan pops up and heads to the entrance in order to open it and see who is on the other side. Once he opens it, he sees that Ellie and Devon are standing there in their scrubs expressing smiles to their bearded friend.
"What's up Morgan." Devon said giving him a quick head nod.
"Hey…" Ellie happily stated. "…we're here to pick up our daughter. It's 8:30 and her curfew is at 9:00." she added briefly glancing at her watch as they both step inside to the Grimes home.
"Awesome to see you guys." Morgan replied smiling at the hardworking doctor couple. "I don't think Clara wants to go just yet."
"How do you know?" wondered Devon.
"I don't want to go home yet!" Clara hollered from within the family room.
"Told ya." replied Morgan expressing a sheepish smile towards the couple. "Come join us, we're in the middle of a bedtime story."
"You are…" the eldest Bartowski answered. "…about what?" she asked.
"Chuck and Sarah's love story." he responded in a low whisper.
"Awesome." stated Devon flashing a smile.
"I'll catch you up to speed." he said as he whispers to the two of them. After a brief moment all 3 head into the family room where they are greeted by everyone else. In that instance, Clara sits up and looks straight at her mom and dad.
"Can we stay please!" she pleaded to her parents.
"We want to join in on the story as well." replied Ellie as she and her husband find a comfy spot on the floor next to their daughter.
"You do?" replied an astonished Clara.
"Yeah." retorted Devon looking at his daughter then to Chuck. "Morgan filled us in on the 411 so we're good to go Chuckles." he said glancing at Chuck giving him and to Sarah as well.
"Ah." Chuck replied.
Once they make themselves comfortable, Alex reaches over handing them a bowl of popcorn while Morgan approaches with two bottles of water for them to drink. After taking a moment to take off the their shoes placing it against the wall with the rest of the row of shoes lined up near the front door they make themselves comfortable leading Chuck to resume with the story.
"Okay…" said Chuck clapping his hands together. "…well the former knight was in a bit of a pickle as the sandwich maiden and the maiden knight met."
"Hi…" the blonde responded getting closer to Chuck. "I'm Sarah." she said with a bright smile on her face as she look at Lou.
"Lou… Lou is her name." he said standing in between the two women nervously looking back and forth at them both. "This is Lou. I was fixing Lou's phone for her… Lou. Who is that? That's Sarah…"
Lou interjected. "Yeah, she said that!" she replied a bit perturbed peering up a Chuck. "Who's Sarah?" she inquires glancing at the tall blonde standing next him.
"Sarah is…my… uhh…" he replied all flustered. "…what's the best way to describe…Sarah is my…"
"Girlfriend." Sarah interjected as the two ladies shake hands.
"Mmhm." he responded in a very awkward situation holding Lou's sandwich she made for him.
"Nice to meet you Sarah." Lou replied looking at her then turning her attention to Chuck. "You should refrigerate that…" she stated pointing to the sandwich and then peers up at him. "…you should refrigerate that because it would be a shame for "The Chuck Bartowski" to make you sick." she angrily responded as she turns around to walk off.
"Yes, absolutely. Great idea" he blabbered feeling like a heel.
Sarah briefly peers down at the sandwich and then looks up at Chuck. "There's more to the Mason Whitney incident than we thought." she said turning around and walking off. "Let's go Chuck." she ordered as Chuck briefly kicking himself as he stands there in front of the nerd herd desk holding his sandwich.
"I think the maiden knight was jealous…" said Clara expressing a smile. "…she was marking her territory." she added.
"You think so?" answered Chuck responding to his niece. "I think she was a bit over protective." added the spy business owner.
"I know so." firmly stated the teenager. "What do you think mom?"
"Well…" responded Ellie looking her daughter in the eyes. "…I think the former knight couldn't see that she actually liked him." she added glancing at Sarah.
"What do you mean babe?" wondered Devon quirking his right brow.
Well, the former knight and his sister the healer discussed the maiden knight not ever knowing she was with him in order to protect him…
"I'm real sorry sis.." he said walking into the kitchen where Ellie is cooking dinner. "I know I have been evasive it's just that I didn't want to lie to you. I chose not saying anything as being the lesser of two evils.' added Chuck.
"Why would you have to lie to me?" she asked.
"I just need you to trust me and know it doesn't have anything to do with you."
"You want me to butt out…" she replied. "…I get it."
"No, I'm not saying that." he responded shaking his head. "I just don't wanna create a false sense of excitement for a relationship that seems doomed!" Chuck said.
"Why is it doomed?" inquired the eldest Bartowski.
"Because she's not into me."
"Trust me…" stated Ellie. "…I have seen the way that that girl looks at you and she is into you."
Chuck smirks after hearing that. "Really?"
"It's none of my business." she said continue to cook dinner. "Okay, what do you wanna ask me about Sarah?"
"Really?"
"You better hurry because this offer will not last." he responded quickly.
"Ok, do you like her? she asked looking her brother directly in his eyes.
"Chuck hesitates peering down for a moment and then responds. "Yeah." Ellie squealed for joy causing Chuck to point at her. "Hey, no unnecessary excitement."
"Sorry." said Ellie.
"What else?"
"That's it."
"That's it?"
"Yeah Chuck…" she nodded. "…I don't need to know the intimate details. As long as you're happy that's enough for me and I don't want to nag about your future, your job, and be the sister that pesters…"
Chuck interjected. "No, you're not a pest." he stated.
There is brief pauses between the two siblings and then Ellie speaks. "I just know what an incredible guy Charles Bartowski is and sometimes I'm not so sure that he knows it."
"How do you feel about a brother-sister hug situation right now?" he asked.
"I'm open to it."
"Guys are dumb." said Clara shaking her head.
"So she knew that she likes him like him even though the former knight doubted it?" wondered Alex.
"Yup…" replied Ellie. "…call it sister's intuition." she smiled.
"And it's usually never wrong." Chuck responded expressing a grin towards her.
"I like his sister." Alexis said with a wide smile.
"I do too." responded Sarah looking at Alexis then glancing at her sister-in-law with a smile. "We all do." she added looking around the room.
A mutual agreement is expressed by all the adults in the room as Devon leans in to kiss his wife on the side of her right cheek. Once things settled down, it's Sarah who continues the story.

As I said before, the good knights were sent a message by the tiny red headed queen to check the body for any sign or clues as to why he died. What they found during their search is that he was magically poisoned with a potion…
"What kind of potion?" asked young Alexis.
"A truth potion." the blonde answered.
"Sweet!" responded the 6 year old boy.
"Awesome…" said Clara. "…double trouble."
"Not for the vanquished Buymorian citizen." grunted Casey. In that instance, everybody turns their attention to Casey with Alexis on his lap. "What? Just sayin'."
"Anyways…" Sarah continued eyeing Casey before continuing on the story. "…after dealing with that the former and maiden knight would briefly discuss their plan to have a sleepover."
"I like sleepovers." said Alexis.
"Don't we all." responded Devon expressing a sheepish grin.
When the former knight arrived at the maiden night's work, he was somewhat nervous while they sat and talked but she would reassure him that everything will be fine. After speaking with him, he walked off and that is when she saw and heard the former knight speaking with the sandwich maiden. The two of them discussed that the relationship was complicated and if he were to become uncomplicated to come see her because she truly liked him and so did he.
"She did?" said Chuck.
"Yup." nodded Sarah.
For Sarah, that particular moment was hard for her to witness. So many emotion were stirring inside her but she would have to keep them bottled up inside. Even though she wasn't losing him as an asset, she felt like she was losing his heart to someone else who would be able to give her much more than she ever could. For the first time in her life as a spy, she felt a sense of jealousy she thinks to herself.
"What happened next mommy?"
"Well S.J…" answered Sarah peering down at her son. "…what happens next is the sleepover between the former knight and the maiden knight."
The maiden knight entered the living quarters where the former knight sleeps…
Chuck dances to the music and then suddenly sees Sarah standing there. "Ellie let me in." Sarah said with a smile walking into his bedroom. "Wow Chuck, what do you think is gonna happen here tonight?"
"What do you think I think?" he grinned.
"Well I dunno, the candles, and the music…" she replied looking glancing to her right. "…I mean, you do know we're just spending the night together for a cover right?" she added.
"Yeah, yeah." Chuck nodded. "Why would I think anything else? By now I'm pretty familiar with the concept of faking it." he responded to her.
"We got to take this assignment seriously." she said
"Okay, I'll lose the music." responded the Chuck."
Chuck gets in bed and he lays down he continues to speak briefly with her. "You can change in the bathroom."
"That's okay." she said talking off her coat revealing a sexy purple lingerie number."
"Hold up!" responded Clara waving her hands in front of her. "Time out!" she added.
"What?" inquired Sarah turning her attention to the 13 year old.
"Come on! She knew what she was doing." Clara stated. "The maiden knight dressed that way so she could get a reaction."
"Yes she did." replied the blonde agent glancing at her husband who raises his eyebrows. "Unfortunately, it wasn't the reaction she wanted."
"What?" he said quickly pushing himself by his elbows looking at what Sarah's wearing. "You give me crap about lighting some candles and you come in wearing that?"
"What, this?" she replied looking down at what's she's wearing. "This is part of my cover."
"Well it doesn't cover a thing." he responded. "What if Ellie or Awesome were to walk in?" This is exactly what a girlfriend would wear to seduce her boyfriend. I'm just being professional." she said getting into bed and laying next to Chuck under the covers.
"Yeah, the world's oldest profession." he breathed out.
"Oh that's real nice Chuck." she replied narrowing her eyes as she glances at him. "What is the matter with you anyway?" she asked as Chuck turns away from her causing her to turn the other way.
"Ouch..." winced Morgan. "…trouble in paradise." he said.
"You have to remember these two were merely doing this as pretend and nothing happened between the two of them." Sarah's stated.
Ellie chimed in. "Wow, so they never…"
"Nope…" Chuck responded shaking his head. A brief but soft sigh exhaled upon that momentary, painful memory."…not for a loooong time." he said raising his eyebrows.
"Man, I feel for the former knight." Devon stated glancing at Chuck who gives a slight nod.
"Never do what?" asked Stevie peering up at both his parents.
"Yeah what Uncle Chuck?" wondered Alexis.
"Bartowski?" grunted Casey narrowing his eyes at him.
"They never…" Chuck paused to think quickly what he was about to say in order to avoid bodily harm by Casey. "…should go to bed without brushing their teeth. Remember that kids." he added pointing to the 3 kids.
"Yes sir." Alexis and Stevie replied in unison while Clara just rolls her eyes.
"Well, if they didn't, what did they do then?" inquired the teenager.
The former knight and maiden knight heard an argument between his sister and her betrothed in their living quarters. It led to a discussion between the two of them…
"We're starting to sound like them, aren't we?" asked Chuck laying on his side.
"A little." she softly replied turning back to look at Chuck facing the other way. "Are you okay? Is there anything you want to talk about?"
Chuck sighed laying on his back and then pushes himself on his elbows.. "What exactly are the rules our…" he paused to figure out the right word to say. "…like, you know, our thing?"
"What do you mean?" she inquired pushing herself up in order to face him.
""What I mean…" he responded. "…hypothetically speaking, are we allowed to see other people?"
"Well, our cover is boyfriend/girlfriend…" Sarah replied. "…so tactically that would be challenging." she added. "Plus any perspective date would have to endure a rigorous verring process to determine her motivation."
A perplexed expression appears on Chuck's face as he responds. "Wouldn't her motivation be love?" he stated.
"Ideally, but you're very important piece of intelligence and you have to be handled with extreme care." he quickly said.
"Well that sounds very nice." he dryly responded.
"Chuck…" says Sarah expressing a small smile. "…I don't have to piece together the clues here." she added. "You're interested in that Lou girl, aren't you?"
"It was in that moment, the former knight's sister and her betrothed entered his room." Ellie chimes in.
"Why?" asked Clara turning to her mother shaking her head.
"She was acting strange not only in front of the maiden and former knight but her betrothed as well." replied Devon.
"What was wrong with her?" asked Stevie.
"They didn't know.' responded Chuck.
"So what happened?" asked Alexis.
"The scary knight showed up at the their door because he was all out of yak's milk half-pint." answered Casey. "It was a cover story he used in order to investigate the strange sounds that were coming from their living quarters." added the Colonel.
"When the former knight's sister's betrothed went to go fetch some yak's milk for the scary knight, the former knight's sister sat down not looking well at all and then suddenly passed out." said Sarah causing all 3 kid's eyes to widen.
"What happened to her?" asked Alex with concern.
"She was poisoned by the truth potion." replied Chuck leading all eyes in the room to wide with the exception of Casey and Sarah.

"It was not awesome when that happened." said Devon shaking his head remember back as if it happened just yesterday. "The sister healer's betrothed was fearful and so was his brother the former knight."
"Dude." Stevie responded "How did it happen?"
"Apparently…" Ellie interjected. "…a warlock dressed in disguise as a knight poisoned her because she was the one who saved the Buymorian citizen who died."
"Why was she poisoned?" asked Alex.
"The warlock was searching for a small locket that held magical secrets." replied Sarah.
"What kind of secrets?" Morgan inquired with absolute curiosity.
"Dangerous ones." the blonde beauty stated.
"Oh snap." responded Stevie.
"So what did they do?" asked Alexis.
"They immediately took her to get her healed…" responded Chuck. "…but she wasn't getting any better."
"Kisses make people better right mommy?" said Alexis turn her attention up to her mother.
"Yes they do sweetie..." responded Alex. "…but kisses wouldn't help the former knight's sister wake up right Sarah?" she added turning her attention from her daughter to the blonde C.I.A. agent.
"Right." nodded Sarah. "The good knights would have to lure the warlock to them."
"How?" inquired Stevie totally transfixed with all that is being shared.
"They sent a magical fairy with a one way message to the warlock to bring the antidote but he wouldn't know who it was from." responded Chuck.
"So they were setting a trap for him?" said Devon. "Awesome." he added flashing a smile.
"Did it work?" asked Clara.
"They would have to wait and see." retorted Chuck. "While they were waiting, the former knight sat with his sister keeping her company."
"Where was her boyfriend?" asked Alexis.
"He was with her Lexi." responded Devon. "He and the former knight would take turns sitting with her keeping her company."
"That's sweet." responded Ellie with a smile as she looks at the two most important men in her life. After a few moments, Chuck continues on with the story.
Once the betrothed's turn to sit with her was up, it would be the former knight's turn to not only sit with her but speak with her too even though she could not speak back…
"I'm going to fix this, Ellie, I swear." Promised Chuck sitting by his sister's hospital bed. "Look, I know that you think I'm just Chuck your screw-up little brother." he said. "But there's a lot about me you don't know." added Chuck as he glances at her sister's heart monitor. "I'm also Chuck, the guy with all these important government secrets in my brain. I can makes this better. I will make this better." stated the determined younger Bartowski sibling. "Everything is so different now Ellie. I used to be able to come to you and ask our advice about anything." He continues to sit there beside a motionless older siblings. "And now my whole life is like a lie."
"He said that?" Ellie said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Are you about to cry mom?" wondered Clara quirking her right brow at her mother
"Well…" responded Ellie reaching up to wipe the tears away. "…it's touching to hear a brother say that to a sister." she added.
"Ok, if you say so." responded a bewildered Clara raising both eyebrows. She inevitably turns her head to look back at her Uncle Chuck." So what happened next?" she asked.
"Well, the former knight found the small locket in the pocket of her sister's clothing probably placed there by the Buymorian scientist guy." The former nerd herd leader said. "It was at that point, he ran as fast as he could to tell the scary and maiden knight."
"Unfortunately…" chimed in Sarah. "…he didn't know that they had captured the warlock and he had the antidote to help the former knight's sister feel better."
"Did they capture him and get the antidote Uncle Chuck?" asked Clara.
"Yes and no." replied Chuck.
Casey chimed in. "The former knight managed to somehow let the warlock escape with the small locket and…"
"It wasn't his fault." Chuck interjected shaking his head.
"BUT…" emphatically stated Sarah interjecting herself into the story before an argument happens between the two of them. "…they were able to get the antidote and give it to the former knight's sister."
"Yay!" cheered Alexis.
"Not so fast on the yay kiddo." responded Chuck.
"Why?" the 4 year old asked with vapid curiosity.
"In the process of getting the antidote, the good knights were poisoned as well." he answered.
"Not good." said Stevie.
"Ya think snotrocket." responded Clara shaking her head.
"And we know whose fault is that don't we." grunted Casey eyeing Chuck.
Chuck is about to respond when Sarah chimes in before a fight breaks out that her partner may not be able to win since he is after all has the intersect in his head. "Anyways boys…" Sarah stated eyeing her husband and partner. "…they would have to track him down."
"How mommy?" Chuck's 6 year old son inquired peering up at Sarah.
"Easy S.J…" responded Sarah peering down to her son with a half a bowl of popcorn in his lap. "…during his escape the warlock dropped his magical staff with a small crystal ball at the end of it." she said.
"A staff that the former knight picked up and once he looked at it immediately had a vision." Chuck chimed in.
"What did he see?" asked Ellie.
"All sort of things but the one main thing that he saw was where his secret lair was." said Chuck.
"Awesome!" replied an excited Stevie.
XXX
The good knights rode fast on horseback like the wind using the warlock's staff to guide them and they didn't have any time to spare either. Once they found his secret lair, they dismounted and headed into it. While doing so, they spoke truths to each other due to the effects of the potions. The 3 of them would inevitably sneak up and stand at the entrance to his lair…
After Sarah knocks several times. "Yes, who is it?" Paine said.
"The NSA, C.I.A. and me…" replied Chuck. "…who's a little tougher to explain."
In that instance, Casey shoot the lock and then turns his attention to Chuck and Sarah. "We all have our skill set." he grunted as he rears back and kicks in the door.
"Freeze!" ordered Sarah aiming her weapon at Paine who is walking down a flight of stairs in his own apartment. "My partner would rather shoot you in the face than let you get away."
"You called me your partner?" Casey gruffly responded turning his to look at her who nods expressing a smirk.
"Where are the codes you son of bitch." emphatically stated the grizzled N.S.A veteran.
"Did they beat up the warlock daddy?" asked Stevie.
"Not exactly son." replied Chuck. "You see they were in a standoff with the scary and maiden knight drawing their swords at the warlock demanding him to give all 3 of them the antidote."
"Did he?" asks Devon.
"He gave them something…" grunted Casey. "…but it wasn't the antidote." he added.
"Wait!" Chuck repeated several. "Don't." he stated stopping Casey and Sarah from drinking it.
"What." replies Sarah glancing at Chuck. "Did you flash?" she asks.
"No. I've just read of tons of comic books." he responded looking directly at Paine. "The villain always samples it first."
"Good one Chuck." gruffly stateed Casey slowly handing the vile back to Paine.
"The warlock would try to escape again but this time the maiden knight would stop him." Casey replied expressing a smirk.
"What did she do grandpa?" Alexis asked.
"The maiden knight aimed her dagger and threw it hitting the Warlock's knee causing him to fall." answered Sarah point and patting her own knee as a visual aide to the story.
"The scary knight enjoyed seeing that very much half-pint." grunted Casey expressing a smirk.
"Anyhoo…" responded the brown haired man. "…the warlock was literally given a taste of his own medicine as he told the truth of where he hid the antidote for the good knights to take." Chuck says. "Once the maiden knight located the antidote, she drank one and brought the other to the former knight."
Now, the former knight had fallen for the maiden knight the first moment he saw her, but she didn't feel the same way. Not yet anyway. When the warlock was captured the maiden knight took the antidote for not only the scary knight but for both herself and the former knight…
"Wait, not yet." Chuck spitted out stopping Sarah from drinking the antidote for a brief moment.
"Why, what's the matter?" she replied.
"Nothing, it's just that… this… this'll probably be the last chance I have to know the truth." he said. "I know you're just doing your job here, but sometimes it feels so real you know? You and me, us, our thing under the undercover thing… is this ever going anywhere?" Chuck inquired looking her into her blue eyes.
Sarah glances down to gather her resolve before she raised her head to look him straight in the eye. "I'm sorry, Chuck. No."
"Got it. Got it. Thank you for being honest… even though I guess you don't really have a choice in the matter. " he said as they both drink the antidote. "Not bad." he said as she walks past him to give the antidote to Casey as well.
"That must have been hard for former knight to hear." Ellie softly said.
"It was." softly replied Chuck glancing at his wife who sits quietly beside him.
"The maiden knight is a big fat stinky head?" stated Alexis causing all 7 adults in the room to express grins on their faces. "That's not how fairytales go."
"I know kiddo..." Chuck replied shooting a soft gaze towards her. "...but trust me they do live happily ever after not just yet. It just took the maiden knight a long time to tell the former knight she loved him."
"Why?" she asked with vapid curiosity.
"Well Lexi…" Sarah chimed in. "…the maiden knight's job was to protect the former knight, not fall in love with him. If she lets her feelings get in the way of her job he could get hurt or worse...die."
That was absolute truth she thinks to herself. However, she would save the best for last and drop a twist on not only her husband but everyone else as well. Granted, only the adults in the room know that it really happened to the 3 of them whereas the kids think it's all a fairly. Yet, she truly wants to see the look on Chuck's face when she drops the bomb on him.
Her brief thought concerning dropping the bomb on her husband would abrupt end by the sound of Clara's voice. "That's stupid." interjected Clara expressing annoyance all over her face.
"Yeah stupid." says Alexis nods as she scrunches her face in anger.
"What a bummer…" Morgan responded shaking his head. "…the former knight hearing that from a woman who he thinks that there's possibly something between them." he added.
"What did the former knight do next?" asked Alex.
"Well…" responded Chuck taking a deep breathe. "…the only thing he knew what was right to do for himself." he said glancing at Sarah knowing it was considered one of the most difficult thing he has ever done but had to do it.
XXX
The following day, he saw how happy his sister the healer and her betrothed were as he gave her a gift in their living quarters. He in turn decided to make a decision concerning the maiden knight as he approached where she worked at…
"Oh hey…" responded Sarah seeing Chuck step through the Weinerlicious door. "I didn't know you were coming by." she added as he stands in front of her.
"Um Sarah…" he paused to gather his thoughts. "…you know when you think you're going die and your whole life is supposed to flash in front you." he said as Sarah remains silent peering at him with a hint of smile on her face. "That didn't exactly happen for me yesterday. In fact, it was just a list that I saw. A list of stuff I haven't done and things I haven't had a chance to say." he added as Sarah continues to stand there silent. So today, I wanna start crossing things off my list and this is the first thing I promised myself I'd do." said Chuck stepping closer to Sarah and putting both hand on the side of her arms. After briefly remaining silent he continues on. "We need to break up."
The look of hope and the small hint of a smile on Sarah's face suddenly turns to confused disbelief as she slightly shakes her head. "What?" she replied with a mixture of surprised confusion.
"You know…" Chuck responded. "…fake break up our pretend relationship." he added peering down to seemingly stunned expression on Sarah's face. "I just can't do this anymore." he said shaking his head. "You know, the longer we go, the longer we keep trying to fool people into believing that we're a real couple… the person I keep fooling the most is me." he softly said standing there for a brief moment and then walks out the door.
"No!" hollered Alexis nearly in tears. "Where does he go Uncle Chuck?"
"He walked over to where the sandwich maiden worked and talked with her Lexi." replied Chuck. "In his mind, he didn't have a chance with the maiden knight."
"That stinks." Clara stated shaking her head. "They were so meant to be together."
"They do eventually get together pumpkin." said Devon reaching over to rub the top of his daughter's head.
"I know dad, but it's still so not awesome." replied daughter to father.
"I guess the former knight was given the cold hard truth…" responded Ellie with a tone of disappointment. "…especially coming from the woman he loves."
"No he didn't…" said Sarah chiming in. In that moment, she looks at everybody and then turns her head facing her husband who quirks his right brow towards her. She takes a deep breath while giving to him her full attention. "…you see there was something that the former knight didn't know…"
When the former knight left where the maiden knight worked at, a magical fairy was sent with a message from her partner the scary knight and she sent one back to him…
"I meant to ask you…" asked Casey on the phone with Sarah. "…when you were affected did you say anything to compromise yourself?"
"No…" she replied over the phone to her partner. "…but if I hadn't been trained to withstand Pentothal I might have."
"She lied!" everybody in the room with the exception of Casey bellowed in unison.
"That's awesome!" happily said Devon with a smile.
"I'm happy now." announced Alexis bouncing up and down on her grandpa's lap. The young girls claps her hands together with joy upon hearing that untold part of the story by Sarah.
"Seriously!?" Chuck stated raising both eyebrows expressing an astonished grin.
"Yeah…" she firmly nodded with a hint of a smile on her face. "…the maiden knight was trained to withstand the powers of the truth potion created by the warlock."
"Then why did she lie to the former knight making him think he never had a shot with her?" Chuck inquired shaking his head.
"She wanted to say how she truly felt about him but as I said earlier the maiden knight's job was to protect the former knight, not fall in love with him." Sarah said keeping her eyes locked solely on her husband's. "If she lets her feelings get in the way of her job he could get hurt or worse die."
"That just makes me happy to hear that…" replied Chuck smiling at his wife who smiles back at him. The special moment last briefly as he hears a clearly audible grunt from his burly teammate. "…and everybody else is happy to hear that too right?" he added looking at the others in the room who wholeheartedly agree with him.
In Chuck's mind, he's given a whole new outlook on the entire situation but truth be told he wouldn't change one thing. To him, there is a reason you go through difficult times and he was able to experience a difficult and not to mention painful moment that stung real hard in his heart like a thorn from a rose. Fortunately, that stinging sensation that has stayed with him for so long is now gone and in it's place is sweet relief. Afterwards, Chuck leans over sandwiching his son against his wife and kisses her gently on the lips. The moment would last briefly as their son Stevie hollers out to his parents.
"Daddy…" he said trying his best pushing his parents apart. "…mommy. You're squishing me." added the uncomfortable 6 year old who is finally able to breathe.
"My bad buddy." he responded rustling his son's hair expressing a chuckle.
"Sorry baby." said the apologetic Sarah peering down at her son. She then peers up at Chuck who expresses a goofy grin on his face. The goofy grin would suddenly fall flat as his attention lands on Casey narrowing his eyes at him. It's a bit unsettling, but thankfully his attention would be averted to Clara who asks him a question.
"Did the sandwich maiden and former knight end up dating?" she inquired.
"They did…" nodded Chuck. "…but they would break up."
"Why?" asked Alex.
"Why don't you ask your dad…" said Chuck turning his attention from Clara to the former NSA agent. "…he has all the details there to the next part of the story. Don't you big guy." he added smirking at him.
