Henry and Sara

A/N: Alright beginning of Season 4. Can't believe that we are already here. But it gets me to start typing out the rest of this season because I only have half of it typed. Hope you enjoy. I truly enjoyed writing this one out. And I know a few of you will truly enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I own Darcy that is all.

~3 months later~

Darcy walked in to the bedroom and saw Chuck still asleep.

"Do you plan on staying in bed all day?"

"Only if you join me" he asked and pulled her into bed kissing her and she giggled.

This summer was definitely a change. But she couldn't have asked for a better summer. It was a whirlwind of romance which shocked them both but she wouldn't change it for the world. The last person she ever thought to have feelings for was the one person who made her feel so alive in a relationship.

"The only problem is that if we both stay in bed all day we will never make it to Paris" she said resting her head on his chest.

"Well if that's the only thing stopping you."

"You've promised me all summer Bass" she said looking at him.

"Alright" he said and she kissed him then got up she spotted a picture on the night stand and picked it up smiling.

*Flashback~ 1 week after shooting~

Chuck and Darcy walked along the water. She felt that they had been stuck in her father's apartment for the last week. Her taking care of him with the help of Eva who she had learned was going to be a nurse but had to drop out for a family emergency. Her father went along with their charade and decided to pay Eva for helping, but since he was getting better. Darcy told Eva to enjoy a night off she could handle 'Henry'.

"Thank you for everything Ellis" Chuck said as they walked.

"It's no big deal really" she replied.

"Well then thank you for tonight. Letting Eva have a night off"

"Well it was mostly for us. I needed a break" she said.

"Being Sara exhausting?"

"Pretending to be your wife is" she joked.

"Don't like the kisses" he asked and she smirked at him.

"I didn't say that" she replied and he smiled

"So Darcy Ellis really does like kissing me?" he asked turning to her.

"Har har" she said laughing and they continued to walk.

"So have you talked to anyone back home?" he asked.

"Nate's called a few times but I haven't answered him because I don't know what to say to him. You can't just come out and go. Your best friend was shot and nearly died. Oh and I'm pretending to be married to him."

"True. Are you two getting back together?"

"Don't get me wrong. Archibald is a great guy and any girl would be lucky enough to have him. I'm just not that girl and I'm okay with that because I don't see him that way anymore. He's my best friend and when we broke up I lost him in that sense for a while."

"And came to me with all your problems."

"Exactly. What about you. Did you propose?"

"I screwed it up."

"By?"

"She didn't show up so I left and then I slept with Jenny"
"Wow" she laughed.

"We're both doomed to be forever alone" he said and she nodded and then thought about something. She had seen it on several TV shows.

"I have a proposition for you" she said. "Well maybe more like a business arrangement. Or proposal I guess"

"Okay partner shoot"

"So let's say that we make a deal."

"Okay"

"If neither one of us is married by 35. We'll marry each other" she said.

"Deal. But why me?"

"You know me and you know why I can't say it. And I know you."

"I like it" he said and they continued walking.

After packing one of her suitcases she walked into the kitchen.

"Morning Sara" Eva said.

"Morning Eva" Darcy replied grabbing coffee.

"All prepared for Paris?"

"Oui" she said "As much as I enjoyed our time here a new setting is definitely in order"

"Henry can take you on so many romantic outings in the city of love"

Darcy smiled and thought about their first date.

*Flashback~3 weeks after shooting*

Darcy had to run a quick errand for her dad and got back to the apartment. Chuck sat on the couch with his little cane.

"Where did you send Eva?" she asked setting her phone on the counter.

"I told her I wanted to take you out"

"Charles Bass asking me out?" she replied "Is the world ending?"

"No it's not and yes I am" he said.

"Well I'm intrigued" she smiled and went and changed. To be honest with herself since Serena and her dad had questioned her relationship with him she had begun to develop minor feelings for him and now here she was with him in Prague and they were getting stronger.

They arrived at a small carnival/ fair like thing complete with a Ferris wheel.

"What is this?" she asked when they got there.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing I like them" she said with a smile.

"Is that so?" he said grabbing her hand and pulling her toward it.

"You should take me on that" she said pointing toward the Ferris wheel.

"Alright" he said and her face lit up. He had gotten to know her over the last few years but he had never seen this side to her. He liked it.

They sat in their seat on the ride both sitting in silence. Both would sneak a glance at the other when the other wasn't looking.

"I'm sorry" he said and she turned to him.

"About"

"The thing with your dad and Lily. I didn't tell you to hurt you"

"I know" she said.

"It was just I care about you so much and I didn't want you to get your heart broken" he replied.

"Thank you"

"I was the one who told Nate to talk to you. I knew it had to be someone who had seen the two of you together. Someone who really knew you. They had to reach…" he said but couldn't finish because Darcy kissed him. He deepened the kiss. Neither one wanting to pull away.

Darcy walked into the bathroom to grab all her stuff from there. She looked into the mirror and admired herself. Happiness was the best beauty product. She felt like her whole body was lighter and she felt 10 times more beautiful every day. She hadn't really felt that way before and it scared her. She looked at the necklace Chuck had given her a week after their kiss. It was a little weird because it was made from the bullet she had pulled out of him and melted into a heart but she adored it. It was special.

The next morning they arrived in Paris. Darcy watched Chuck sleep. He had nightmares about the night he was shot over and over. She would just hold his hand and push his hair out of his face. He woke up and looked at her.

"You okay Bass?"

"Now I am" he said kissing her hand in his

"Good" she said and laid her head on his shoulder.

*Flashback~ 7 weeks after shooting*

Darcy had let Eva have a night off. She wanted to do something special for Chuck. She had decided a night in with a home cooked meal and perhaps a movie. She had sent Chuck out to get a bottle of cider. While she was cooking her phone rang. Without looking she answered.

"Did you get lost?" she joked.

"Hey Darc" Nate said. And she then realized she was glad she didn't say Chuck's name or in their case his last name.

"Nate" she said "Hey"

"Who's getting lost?" he asked.

"My friend, well um boyfriend"

"Darcy Ellis has a new man? Europe was good to you"

"Yeah it has been one of the best summers of my life" she replied.

"So you said you'd keep in touch. What happened?"

"I'm sorry Nate. I've been busy"

"Well you sound happy" he said as the front door opened and she put a finger up to her mouth.

"So how's Chuck's black book" she asked and Chuck rolled his eyes at her.

"Never a dull moment."

"I bet all that sex" she said.

"Well I heard your door open so I better let you get back to your man."

"Thanks Nate" she said and hung up then turned to Chuck. "Remind me to burn your black book when we go home"

"Gladly" he said and kissed her.

"What are we gonna tell him Bass?" she asked.

"I don't know" he replied "But we'll figure it out just like we've figured all this out. One day at a time"

She smiled at him and went back to cooking.

A/N: I hope you guys loved it. So much more of them coming up. This is one of the moments I've been building to since the beginning.
