The Deli

Part 6

Disclaimer: There just might be some fireworks in this one!

Summary: Sarah has a very strong word with Lou where Chuck and babies are concerned!

"I want everyone but Lou Palone out of this Deli in 5 seconds." Declared one very unhappy Sarah Walker immediately after she came inside.

Those few patrons, along with Lou's employees, could see just how serious the Blonde was being. Along with the fact she was looking very pissed off as well and immediately cleared out as Lou remained where she was behind the counter. Looking not all that impressed by what had just happened either. "I take it you know about Chuck and I's situation?" She asked.

Sarah nodded in silence while feeling quite pleased with the fact she had ensured it'd take a bit for Chuck and Casey to get here thanks to a little meddling with the passcodes to ensure they couldn't get out of the Orange Orange. "Is this some sick joke of yours to screw with me since I was one of the factors in your break up with him?

Lou rolled her eyes and came around from the counter. "Does this look like some kind of sick joke to you?" The beautiful Brunette asked as she gestured to her stomach.

"Looks to me like you gained a few pounds is all." Replied Sarah acidly.

I am supposed to be a professional but screw professionalism! Especially where MY Chuck is concerned!

"Wow, a fat joke. And here I thought we were adults." Lou said with an eyeroll.

Saying nothing as she came up to the shorter woman with a glare on her features that did nothing to make Lou nervous or take a step back annoyed Sarah. "Am I supposed to be intimidated? Because I'm not, Sarah. I'm an Italian girl, one who's been taught a lot of things. One of those being not to be intimidated by anything."

"You'll know intimidation when I'm through with you." Near growled the Blonde.

To her strong dislike, Lou rolled her eyes. "Look, me gettin' pregnant with Chuck's baby was NOT planned. Okay? I'm sure he's even mentioned to that to ya so take your simmerin' down a notch already."

Really, it was just embarrassing! "And I'll even admit to wantin' him back in my life as my guy but I know what he really wants to have in his sandwiches and it ain't me. As long as he wants to be there in our kid's life, I'm happy with that." Continued Lou.

Though she wouldn't openly admit to the fact that part of her was willing to take certain measures to ensure he became her's again. Admitting that would just make the Blonde in front of her even more pissed off than what she already was. What is with people and food metaphors when it comes to Chuck and I?

It was just ridiculous in Sarah's view! Okay, sure it was only really Casey and Lou that did that but still! Very ridiculous! "So this isn't some plan to get under my skin? Or to get Chuck back?" Asked Sarah.

Even if part of her did want to ask if it was an even more insidious plot involving Fulcrum but had to keep from doing so as that was need to know and Lou Palone certainly did NOT need to know! Lou sighed as she shook her head, resisting the urge to roll her eyes again. "No. And again, no. I'm not that kind of girl and quite frankly, I find that insultin' to be thought of in that manner."

"Well, Chuck DID break up with me to get with you and now, 4 months later, here we are with you pregnant with his baby." Pointed out Sarah unhappily and making her Nerd look somewhat bad.

But she was pissed off damnit! "Yeah, that sounds like somethin' you're gonna have to talk with him about. Or kick his ass over, either one."

Lou was NOT going to apologize for Chuck and his decisions! This is not going how I thought it would. And I do NOT like that at all. I am one of Director Graham's best, damnit!

Unfortunately for Sarah, her little conversation would be interrupted when Chuck hurriedly made his way inside and breathing heavily at that. "Don't hurt her, Sarah!"

Damn, he must have gone through the Buy More exit. Gonna have to do something about that for future reference. Grumbled Sarah as Casey also came inside and looking amused.

"Don't worry, Chuck, Sarah couldn't hurt me on her best day."

"You really want to find out how wrong you are about that one, Lou?" Sarah asked the other girl icily as Chuck paled.

Lou shrugged. "Maybe after my pregnancy."

"Right, if only so that you'll have half a chance in trying to take ME on."

"If that's what you wanna tell yourself to make yourself feel better, then have at it, girl. But just so ya know, I got an uncle who used to be in the Navy and he taught me a few things." Lou told her.

Greatly enjoying how much more annoyed the other woman was getting with her. "Man, I wish I had some Popcorn." Declared a very amused Casey.

"Casey!" Hissed a very nervous Chuck but the big man just smirked and shrugged at him.

Sarah right into Lou's personal space and looked down into her eyes and Lou looked right back. Completely unafraid. "I guess we'll see who can kick whose ass when the time comes then. But know this, Lou. Chuck? Chuck is MINE."

"You sure about that? 'Cause I'm pretty sure he was wantin' take another roll in the sack with me last night." Lied Lou with a smirk on her face.

"Oh God… Not only do I feel like a piece of meat now but I'm gonna be a very dead piece of meat any minute now." Muttered Chuck fearfully.

Ohh yeah, I seriously need some Popcorn right now. Walker's gone nuts and its great to watch!

If looks could kill, Lou would be a very dead Sandwich girl right about now thanks to the look she was getting from Sarah. Growling softly, Sarah turned and made her way to a frightened Chuck and what she did next surprised the Hell out of him when she began to kiss him! Even using some tongue and completely shutting his mind down in the process! Lou watched on with raised eyebrows in surprise, amusement, and even a little jealousy. "Well, I guess that's one way to mix Chocolate and Peanut Butter." Mused Casey a little disgustedly.

Seconds later, Sarah pulled away and looked at Lou with a sneer on her face. "Remember, Chuck's MINE." And with that, she made her leave from the Deli and when she calmed down later, would feel a little embarrassed over her actions!

Poor Chuck remained where he was in a stupefied manner. "Great, she broke him."

"Hah. It'll be the last time she ever does."

Casey rolled his eyes at this and slung Chuck over his shoulder. The next few months guarantee to be unpleasant but funny as Hell.

"You know you can leave him here, right?"

"Yeah, I'd rather not make Walker any madder than she already is, Palone." Even if it would be funny to watch.

"Eh, she'll be alright." Lou replied somewhat unconcernedly before the man left with Chuck.
