Chuck VS The Push Mix
Notes: This is a straight up post-ep, picks up right where the episode ends. I have read several great post-eps for this ep, so here are my 2 cents on the proposal.
Thanks as always to those of you that are reading and leaving comments, they mean so much!

"Yes," Sarah said between kisses, "yes, yes, yes."
Chuck smiled against her lips, unwilling to concede the kiss just yet, but amused nonetheless.
"I haven't actually asked you anything yet," Chuck pointed out as he rested his forehead against hers.
"There was no way in hell I was waiting for fear someone interrrr…."
"Yo, Chuck," Devon called down the hall.
"You have got to be kidding me?" Chuck cringed as Sarah laughed through her tears.
"Bro, Clara's here, she wants to meet her uncle," Awesome got closer and realized quickly what he was interrupting.
"Awesome!"
"Almost, anyway," Chuck stood, the ring box still in his hands as Sarah plucked the ring from the velvet.
"It was awesome, Chuck, it was perfect. I don't need the fancy words, I just need you," Sarah slipped the ring on her own finger as Chuck stared. "I love you so much and I can't wait to be your wife."
"Thank you Sarah, for everything," Chuck wrapped his arms around her and before either of them could break down Devon cleared his throat.
"Let's go meet our niece," Sarah smiled.
"I found 'em," Devon announced as he led the way into the room Ellie and Clara had settled in.
Chuck and Sarah saw the giant smiles on Ellie and Mary's faces and the happy face of a nurse attending to a small bundle of blankets in a plastic bassinette.
"Hey Ellie," Sarah smiled.
"How are you?" Chuck finished.
"I'm great," Ellie smiled at them both and then shifted her eyes over to the baby.
"She was amazing," Mary added.
"She always is," Chuck caught his sister's eyes and wordlessly told her how proud he was of her.
"Want to meet your niece?" Ellie didn't break the stare with her brother.
"I do," he nodded.
The nurse scooped the baby up and delivered her to the tall man that looked quite a bit like Ellie.
"Thank you," he said as he curled his long arms around the blanket, supporting the baby's head.
Sarah's breath caught in her throat as she watched Chuck smile at the baby. He looked so comfortable with a baby in his arms it was literally breathtaking. Sarah's hand came up to her mouth to keep in the girlie squeal that threatened to come out, but it did come out, just from Ellie instead.
"Sarah!" Ellie squealed.
"Huh?" she said inelegantly as she tore her eyes from Chuck and the baby.
"Your hand," Ellie pointed.
"Oh yeah, I interrupted a proposal in the hallway," Devon grinned.

By the time Chuck and Sarah got back to the apartment it was nearly morning. The hospital afforded Ellie & Devon extreme flexibility in their visiting hours and Sarah stopped in one last time to check on Casey before they left.
Chuck saw a note from Morgan on the fridge as he went for a glass of water.
"Morgan stayed with Alex at Casey's," he reported as Sarah seemed to walk around the apartment looking at everything as if she had never seen it before.
"You OK?" he asked as he shared his glass of water with her.
"Yeah, just glad to be home," she nodded as she took the water with one hand and used the other to pull him close.
"You were amazing Sarah, I can't thank you enough for getting my mom home."
"We were amazing Chuck, together. We can do anything," she snuggled against his chest and yawned.
"We need some sleep," he stroked a hand up and down her back.
"My first night home in months, I would really like to do more than sleepppp…." Another yawn ruined her thought.
"Me too, but we're both exhausted. I'll be just so happy to hold my girlfriend, my fiancé, in my arms tonight," Chuck kissed the top of her head.
Sarah smiled against the warmth of his chest already feeling sleep take her while she stands there.
"Your fiancé," Sarah said softly, the word light and delicate in her mouth.
"Although technically I never really asked, you said yes and grabbed the ring before I had a chance."
"Do you want to ask me now?" Sarah grinned up at him.
"Now it is time for bed," Chuck grinned back and kissed her softly.

Sarah awoke to Chuck's fingers sifting through her hair and soft light playing over the sheets.
"Morning," Sarah graveled.
"Sarah, will you marry me?" Chuck asked before she could even wipe the sleep from her eyes.
She smiled against his bare chest, kissed him where she thought his heart was and then leaned up to kiss him on the mouth.
"Yes," she answered before Chuck claimed her mouth more thoroughly.
"Yes?" he asked in clarification as he rolled her under him.
"Yes," she nodded as he used his knee to spread her legs under him.
"You're sure?" he grinned as his large hand slipped up under the tee shirt she had slept in, the only thing she had slept in.
"Very," she said as her eyes slipped closed and her stomach quivered under his touch.
"Marriage is a big step," he teased with words and his fingers simultaneously.
"It is," she agreed her own hands dancing around his ears, his jaw, back along his neck until he dropped his head with a purr.
"What a crazy few days," Chuck said as he maneuvered Sarah's shirt off her body and she used her feet to strip his boxers free.
"I know, Volkoff is in jail. Your mom home, Ellie and Awesome are parents, we're engaged…." Sarah listed off the life-changing events.
"Crazy," Chuck repeated and placed a big wet kiss on her bare shoulder.
"You looked good with that baby in your arms," Sarah whispered as if it were verboten and without realizing it spread her legs a little more to give him easier access.
Chuck didn't say anything, just looked up at her with a question in his eyes.
"Usually the sight of a baby makes me want to never ever have sex again," Sarah mentioned as she ran her toes along the backs of Chuck's calves.
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I double check my birth control and my knees seem locked together, but seeing you with that baby was the sweetest sexiest thing I have ever seen," she lifted her hips off the mattress then and brought her legs up higher around his body.
"Yeah?" Chuck's hands slid down her body, supported her lower back, squeezed her ass gently.
"Chuck, make love to me," she asked as her eyes found his.
Chuck swallowed thickly and nodded. This was monumental, the first time they were making love in months, first time as an engaged couple and on the heels of the closest thing Sarah has ever said about wanting kids someday. With him. Kids with Chuck.
Chuck knew they were not actually making a baby. He knew how extensive Sarah's CIA birth control was, they had discussed it in Paris as they packed for the train Chuck had stumbled over the need for a stop at a pharmacy. Sarah sat on the edge of the bed and patted the spot next to her, he joined her and she admitted that she had slept with Shaw a couple times, but had always used a condom. Chuck confirmed that he too had used a condom with Hannah. Sarah then explained that she had an IUD and they didn't need anything further. Chuck just nodded, dizzy with the idea that he and Sarah had a sex life all of a sudden.
So Chuck knew they were not making a baby, but there was something different as he joined their bodies together this morning, something special.
"I love you," Sarah said as she accepted some of his weight, as he rested his head on her shoulder and breathed in the scent of her.
"Sarah, will you marry me?"
"Asked and answered, a couple of times now," Sarah giggled against his temple.
"I want to stay here like this forever," he turned into her lips and kissed her tenderly.
"Mmmmm," she agreed, but tilted her hips a little to encourage him to move.
"Ohhhh," Chuck stuttered as he sunk further into her body.
"Gggoddd," Sarah exhaled.
The sound of her voice went right to Chuck's soul and the pit of his stomach, he had to take a deep breath not to have this whole thing over before it really got started. With Sarah's legs still locked around the backs of his thighs, his hands at her lower back scooped her up as he moved to his knees and pressed their chests together.
Sarah draped her arms over his shoulders, nibbled at the warm salty skin of his neck.
"I can't get close enough to you," she admitted as she rocked against him.
"I don't want to let go," Chuck returned.
"Don't," Sarah clutched at his back, pulling him deeper.
Deeper into her body. Deeper into her soul.
"Please…." She sighed and Chuck had no idea what she was asking for, but he was determined to fulfill any possible request.
Chuck leaned forward again laying Sarah out on her back, but keeping their bodies fused at every possible point of connection. When he moved against her now their slick bodies slid perfectly. It wasn't long before Sarah couldn't form whole words, her breath short and her throat dry.
Just before his body took over his mind Chuck leaned closer still and whispered "always" in her ear.
When his senses finally returned to him he moved to roll off of her.
"No, stay," she asked holding him close still.
"I'm crushing you," he protested weakly.
"Don't care, stay close," she stroked his hair and kissed him softly.
"We're getting married," he said with awe.
"We are?" she teased.
"I know for a fact I have officially asked now," he looked up to see the delight in her eyes.
"You have," she nodded.
"So we're getting married," he repeated.
"I love my ring," she said as she splayed her hand against his dark hair making the diamond and platinum band pop.
"It was tough to find a ring for someone so beautiful, but I thought it was classic and sparkly enough," Chuck's words were slurred as he started drifting back to sleep.
"I love it. I love you," she nestled deeper into the pillow and closed her eyes.
