HAPPY TIMES ONLY from here on out in this story (As you will have already seen if you have read my accompanying M rated piece) We have now entered our final arc for the story after the events that occurred concerning Jill. There will not be any more anguish for the remainder of the story. Though Chuck and Sarah will still face difficult challenges because that's just the way life is :)

Now I want to talk a little about my M rated piece that I posted. As I only got 2 reviews for my M rated Redemption piece, if I don't get any more, then I'm just not going to bother typing out the three further M rated intimate sexual scenes that I had planned to write. Because it's simply not worth the effort of spending ten days of my life writing content for just 3 people (and one of those being myself) Which is why you're seeing 25th December Christmas Day content before the Romantic 24th December Christmas Eve Chuck and Sarah content that I had planned to write (and what you'll witness Charah talking about in this chapter)


Chapter Thirty Seven

Christmas at the Bartowski's Part One

Los Angeles, California

25 December

Today is Christmas Day for more than eighty percent of countries worldwide. It is a day known for celebrations and families spending joyful, harmonious loving moments together. It is a day where stuffing faces with deliciously scrumptious food was acceptable and strongly encouraged. It is a day of exchanging presents and gifts. It is a day of deep expressions of love, intimacy and romance. It is a day of warmth and affection. And it is a day jam packed full of extremely over excited children being visited by Santa Claus the night before.

There wasn't anybody expecting a visit from Santa Claus inside this particular room. Instead, there were just two adult lovers waking up in the arms of each other. And both halves of this specific couple were feeling deep euphoria to be back together in the comfort of one another after being apart from each other for six and a half long and torturous years. Chuck and Sarah will be celebrating their fifth Christmas together today, and if last night on the eve of Christmas was anything to go by, then it will be remembered as a very passionate and extremely romantic one in the years to come when they fondly and vividly look back at it with joy...

"Mmm. Good morning, baby. Happy Christmas," Sarah mumbles sleepily to Chuck with a humongous smile of satisfaction present on her face as she adjusts her naked body slightly into a more comfortable position after beginning to feel a little discomfort from where she had fell asleep into the uninjured side of his chest and she then begins to caress his chest with her hand from where it was still placed over him from the night before.

"And the exact same to you too, buttercup," Chuck replies with a deep grin as he nuzzles and kisses the top of Sarah's head from where it lay on his chest as his hand also begins to play with the back of Sarah's shoulder from where he had positioned and wrapped it around her from when they had fallen asleep together after a passionate Christmas Eve that he had spent together with her.

Sarah giggles sweetly on hearing his response as she continues to affectionately caress her lover's chest with her hand.

"Did you like your early Christmas gift last night?" Sarah asks flirtatiously as she arches her head up to look at her lover with a wicked smirk on her face.

"Like?" Chuck pauses as he shakes his head sideways. "No, I loved it," Chuck then says with conviction.

Sarah giggles deeply with satisfaction and contentment once more on hearing his confession as she continues to stare into his eyes from where she lay on him.

"Thank you for yesterday, Chuck. It was the most romantic night of my whole life," Sarah declares to him with a huge grin of contentment present on her face.

Chuck grins deeply on hearing Sarah's response to him. "It was my apology for not being a good boyfriend and kind of ignoring you for the first three days of being back here and then putting you through hell for two days after it," he admits.

"Well, then it was easily the best apology that I have ever had in my whole life because I feel on cloud nine right now, baby," Sarah declares with her continued humongous grin of satisfaction present on her face.

"Me too," Chuck states as he sports Sarah a deep smile as the lovers continue to play around with each others body using their hands.

"That restaurant was truly five star," Sarah says to him in deep wonderment.

"It was," Chuck agrees as he sighs contently.

"And expensive," Sarah then adds in.

"You're worth every single cent," Chuck declares with conviction.

Sarah grins deeply and begins to giggle as she continues to affectionately caress and play around with her lover's chest with her hand.

"I wish we were spending Christmas in our own home and not at a hotel. I want a Christmas tree," Chuck admits to her with a sad smile.

"Me too baby, and we will soon," Sarah says assuredly and she pauses as she raises her hand up from his chest to his face instead as she begins to stroke his cheek. "Besides, it's better to spend it here than in some stinking, baking hot desert, right?"

Chuck nods his head strongly in agreement. "True, true, when you put it like that, then this is pretty much perfect," he replies.

Sarah grins from ear to ear on hearing his response as her hand continues to play around with him.

"Besides, it's the company that makes it good, not where you are and I'm with the best company that I could possibly ever hope to be with," Chuck adds in and declares powerfully to her.

"Me too," Sarah replies in the same tone as she smiles deeply at her lover.

"We should probably get up and start the day and get dressed once more" Chuck suggests to her with a deep grin of fulfillment.

"Later," Sarah moans out as she begins to plant numerous loving kisses onto his bare chest from where her head was resting into him.

"Much later," Chuck moans back in response to her actions causing Sarah to giggle wickedly and approvingly as the lovers begin to express intimacy together once more…


Much Later That Morning

Sarah and Chuck were now presently stood up inside their hotel room and they were embraced together with their hands around each other and they were now reluctantly dressed at least in Sarah's opinion. If Chuck was one hundred percent fit then Sarah would have adamantly insisted that they stay naked in bed for the whole day regardless of what day it was, but sadly, he was not.

"Sarah, we're going to go and visit my family today," Chuck tells her as Sarah had already agreed a week ago that she would do it with him soon and today was as good a day as any for it. And they had an excuse to go and visit today anyway, as it was Christmas.

"Chuck..." Sarah replies apprehensively on hearing his declaration to her and she begins to feel a little anxious over that dreaded thought.

"Sarah, please?" Chuck pauses as he pleads with her. "I want you to do this. It means a lot to me for you to reconnect with my family again. So can you do it, for me?" he asks pleadingly as he gives her a deep loving puppy eyed look that Sarah never once could resist.

"Ok," Sarah agrees to his proposal.

"Yeah?" Chuck asks as a grin begins to form on his face.

Sarah nods her head as a smile forms on her face. "Yes, Chuck. For you. I'll do anything for you," she admits causing his grin to grow deeper.

"Sarah, thank you," Chuck says elatedly.

"Thank me later," Sarah winks whilst smirking at him.

"I will, I can assure you of that," Chuck replies with a smirk of his own accompanied by a little eyebrow dancing.

Sarah giggles sweetly on hearing his words and looking at his facial expressions to her. "Chuck Bartowski, being so forward," she says flirtatiously.

"Well when I have a girlfriend as perfect and as stunning as you are, Sarah, then what can I say?" Chuck declares with a huge grin to her.

"Chuck, if you keep making these overpowering comments to me, then we're going to go right back to bed for round two right about now," Sarah warns as she begins to lustfully eye Chuck up and down before averting her glance to the side of where they stood as she glanced at the bed in the room occasionally.

Chuck begins to debate what Sarah has just said to him for a moment.

"I don't think I have the strength. You've almost broke me already," Chuck says sadly in resignation.

Sarah giggles once more. "Then it's time for me to give you your actual gift," she then says to him with a warm smile as she continues to hold onto his hands still inside of the embrace with him.

"What, the gift last night wasn't real?" Chuck jokes with a mock pout as he grins deeply at her.

Sarah shakes her head in disbelief. "You doofus!" Sarah says as she hugs into him and kisses him on his lips for a long moment before pulling back and then leaving the embrace as she begins to rummage through her luggage to collect her gift for him.

Chuck likewise also took the time to collect his own gift for Sarah and after a few short moments, the lovers returned to each others proximity once more now holding their gifts purchased for each other with deep loving smiles present as they began to stare intimately into each others eyes once more.

"I had your gift wrapped for you so you wouldn't have been able to see it the past week," Sarah states to him with a bright smile while threatening to laugh.

Chuck laughs for a brief moment on hearing her declaration. "Me too," he says as begins to grin causing Sarah to be unable to hold in her laughter that was threatening on hearing him tell her that he'd hidden his gift from her too.

"So who is opening their gift first this time then?" Chuck then asks with a deep grin.

"You go first. I did last time," Sarah states to him with her continued affectionate smile.

"Ok," Chuck says as he nods his head in acceptance as he continues his deep, warm grin at his girlfriend.

Chuck then starts to unwrap Sarah's gift for him in his hands before stopping to read the special message on it that read: To the most amazing man that I have ever met. Happy Christmas. Forever Yours, Sarah xxx

Chuck grins deeply on reading the message as he makes strong eye contact with Sarah who smiles adoringly at him.

Chuck then unwraps Sarah's gift out of the wrapping to reveal a small box. He then opens the box to reveal a second hexagon shaped box and on opening the second box, his eyes met with a rugged looking black and gold G-Shock Casio wristwatch.

Chuck continues his humongous grin as he studies his gift and shifts his glance between the gift in his hand and at his girlfriend occasionally.

"The shop assistant serving me stated it was very resistant. Obviously I needed to get something that was because of the nature your job." Sarah states to him with a wry smile.

Chuck continues his wide adoring grin at Sarah.

"It's also resistant up to two hundred metres underwater," Sarah informs him.

"Wow. I've never been below fifty," Chuck declares amazed at the durability of his gift with his trademark Bartowski grin still present and growing brighter by the second.

"It's hard to shop for a gift for someone in the military," Sarah then admits to him.

"Sarah, it's perfect. It's the best gift I could have wanted, Navy or not. Thank you," Chuck declares passionately as he continues to sport his girlfriend his wide grin of adoration caused by the woman he's staring deeply at.

Sarah was grinning from ear to ear on hearing her boyfriend's declarations to her. "Happy Christmas, baby," she then says in a deeply affectionate low pitched loving tone with her continued affectionate smile.

"Heh," Chuck murmurs with his continued Bartowski grin on his face as he places down his gift before then moving to take hold of his girlfriend's hands and they share a slow loving kiss for a long moment before pulling back and they continue to stare intimately at each other and their grins the size of bananas still present on the faces of the young couple that had not left once since they woke up, nor would it because just being with each other causes extreme happiness for the young couple.

"Now it's your turn to open your gift," Chuck then says with his continued wide smile.

Sarah lets out a brief low pitched giggle, before letting go of her boyfriend's hand as she then collects her gift to place it in the palm of her hands. Taking a moment to compose herself over what to expect when she opens it, Sarah begins to fill up with excitement as she then begins to open her gift before stopping to read a message that Chuck had left her just as she had him. It reads: To the girl and now woman that has been in my dreams since the very first moment I met her. Sarah, I love you to infinity. Happy Christmas. Chuck.

Sarah develops an almighty smile of joyful satisfaction once more on reading his message to her as she glances at him briefly with her eyes a little glossy from the message alone before shifting her glance back onto her gift as she unwraps it from the gift wrapping to reveal a fairly large box about the size of a paper napkin.

There is a message on the top of the box that reads 'Happily Ever After' in light pink writing and with a crown just above the writing with a very pretty pattern all around the edge of the squared box.

Sarah then begins to open up the box, which then hangs and fixes up into the air as it then reveals a message inside of it. Sarah begins to study the box and notes what appears to be an arch, and inside of the arch is a man and woman embraced closely together, with two animals that appear to be a bunny and a unicorn standing in their proximity. Under the companions is a message that reads 'Once upon a time' and away from the four companions and off into the distance ahead of them is what appears to be a castle standing tall at the top of the hill.

Sarah smiles adoringly on looking at the wonderfully crafted gift box and the presentation inside of it before fixing her glance back down at the centre of the box.

Sarah immediately then starts to gasp on her eyes connecting with her actual gift, and she shoots a hand up to her mouth as she begins to smile and she fills up with deep excitement and joy over her gift that causes her insides to scream with extreme happiness.

"Happy Christmas, Sarah," Chuck says with a deep grin and Sarah immediately makes loving eye contact with him once more.

"Chuck, it's so beautiful," Sarah declares emotionally in a low pitched loving tone and then begins to study her gift from him once more. Her gift from Chuck was an enchanted sterling silver bracelet with eight different charms placed all around of it. The charms included a unicorn, a frog prince, a crown that contained numerous small crystals and finally several beaded ring shapes that were pink or silver coloured.

"I spent hours looking at gifts for you and then I found this and I was just so mesmerized by it and its fairy tale. I found you again in the least likely of all possible places that I could ever possibly find you in. I'm a Navy guy and you're an Intelligence Agent yet we found each other again thousands of miles away from where we first met. Our story is like a fairy tale, and I was so attracted to this gift. I'm sorry if it's too soppy or cheesy," Chuck says sincerely to her with a deep Bartowski grin.

Sarah's eyes were sparkling with joy over Chuck's gift to her. "Baby, it's absolutely beautiful," Sarah declares powerfully as she grins from ear to ear and rotates her stares between her gift and her lover.

"I hope that the message that it implies isn't too much but I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Sarah. And I truly believe that we will live happily ever after," Chuck declares with an adoring tone of voice.

If at all possible which was unlikely as her mouth already hurt from smiling so much and so deeply, Sarah's smile increased further.

"No, Chuck. It's perfect. You're perfect. And we will. Baby, thank you," Sarah declares emotionally as her eyes continue to sparkle and she feels overwhelmed from such joy and happiness.

Chuck grins deeply on hearing her response. "I love you," he declares in a low pitched loving tone.

"Baby, I love you too," Sarah declares in that same loving tone that her lover used with her.

Sarah then puts down her gift and places it down next to Chuck's before moving into her lover's proximity once more and they begin to kiss each other in a deeply idolizing fashion as they also begin to delicately caress each others face and they both begin to get lost by the warmth of each other.

Their kiss soon heated up from a loving exchange to a passionate exchange as Sarah demanded entry to her lover's mouth and she begins to pull him down onto the bed as she moves on top of him and continues to kiss him and a deep lust and desire for him began building up inside of Sarah and she couldn't wait a minute longer, she needed to have him, right this instant.

"Sarah, I don't know if I can," Chuck admits with a sad smile on breaking their kiss to get their breath back as they have already had sex together several times since they got sexually intimate with each other just four days ago which definitely didn't do Chuck's recovery process any favors, not that he's complaining. He just doesn't think he's physically able to express his love at this particular moment.

Sarah begins to pout on hearing his words as she hovers over him. "Chuck, I can't wait until tonight. I need you. Just relax. Baby, I'll be so gentle and I'll do all of the work. Please?" she pleads to him against his lips with an adoring smile as her hand affectionately strokes his face.

Chuck chuckles for a brief moment as he nods his head acceptingly causing Sarah to grin joyfully on seeing his acceptance. "Now who's the sweet talker?" he asks her with a deep grin.

"That would be me," Sarah grins in response as Sarah then slow and delicately proceeds to make love with her soulmate before they leave to visit his family...
