A/N: For all of you who I killed last chapter…sorry. I figured if it touched my cold dead heart than you all were in trouble. Wow that was something. So, this chapter will be a much lighter tone, because I can't even take another 1000 words like that. The Mollyverse, the way it should be, Chapter 3, Valentine's Day, Pt 2.
Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck, or VD….Valentine's Day…Come on!
Sarah looked up from the letter at her team. She hadn't been sure what to expect but she knew she needed their help.
"So what do you want from us, Wal…Bartowski?" Casey asked with a sniffle. Sarah raised an eyebrow.
"You touched his ladyfeelings," Carina explained. A look of disgust covered Sarah's face. "You know what I mean."
"That was so Ellie," Morgan said through tears. He brought up a kleenex and blew his nose with a honking sound. Sarah shook her head. "But, don't you think we're missing someone?"
"What makes you think I didn't go to her first and she directed me to you?" Sarah asked.
"So she's out of the mission?" Casey and Morgan shared a look at saying that at the same time.
"No, she has a sub-mission," Sarah replied with a grin.

"We can't scare him off," Molly said to Chuck.
"Molly, you told him you were going to marry him," Chuck reminded her. "If that doesn't scare him off, I don't know what will."
"Dad, you know boys, the spook easily, like horses." Chuck just blinked. "Also, if I don't remind him maybe he'll forget."
"I bet he hasn't," Chuck muttered. Molly picked up another valentine's day card, shook her head, and put it back. "What was wrong with that one?"
"I don't want him to get any wrong ideas, he's gotta earn my love." Chuck nearly choked. "You okay, Dad?"
"Great, just great," he coughed out. "What about this one." Chuck picked up a card that had Captain America on it. The look on her face clearly read no. "Now how could you go wrong with Cap?"
"That's so last year, Dad," she explained as if she were the parent and he were the child
"Captain America has been around forever," Chuck retorted.
"Superheroes, Dad, they're last year."
"I wasn't aware," he muttered, putting it back. "I'm learning all sorts of stuff, it's almost like…." He stopped, looked at her, thought, pulled out his phone ,and called Sarah.
"Hi," she answered, putting a smile on his face. "How's the shopping going for Molly?"
"It seems like no matter what I do, it's not right, and if I'm not mistaken, since today is Valentine's Day, she's already given him a card."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Molly pulled on his free hand, and held her other hand out for the phone. Chuck recognized that look and handed the phone to her.
"The jig is up, Mom."
"It's okay, we're ready," Sarah told her.
"Heading home now," Molly said, and hung up. "You ready?"
"Really, you're not even gonna try and hide the fact, you've had me running around here for the past few hours while you're mother is up to something?"
"The mission was to keep you busy, I have no problem that you know that Mom's trying to make this a special day for you."
"Hey," Chuck said, squatting down, looking her in the eye. "I have you, Clara, your mom, Jason, and Emma, what more do I need."
"You don't," Molly said, taking his face in her hands. "You just deserve it." She kissed him on the nose, and smiled at him. "Now, remember, I don't need another brother or sister but it's okay if I get one."
"And there it is," Chuck said, shaking his head and laughing.

"Is that El Puerto Guadalajara I smell?" Chuck asked, entering the house.
"Maybe," Sarah said, coming around the corner, and wrapping her arms around his neck. Her hair was damp, and Chuck wondered what had happened, if this was a 'she wanted to' shower, or had their been an explosion somewhere of something. She was dressed in one of his tee shirts, and yoga pants. She looked comfortable and just so…happy. He felt things bubbling in his chest he was having trouble controlling. She stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Happy Valentine's Day, Baby."
"Happy Valentine's Day, Sarah," Chuck replied. "I was gonna cook-"
"I'm aware, but you know what, maybe I just wanted to woo you for one night."
"Woo? You wanted to woo me? Woman, consider yourself wooing, because I'm wooed."
"Another brother is preferred over a sister, but I'll love either," Molly said, walking by them.
"I mean she terrifies me," Chuck admitted. "How was she when she was a fussy baby?"
Sarah gave him a look. "Fussy? Oh, there was no fussiness, she knew what she wanted. It was…an experience. But, enough, this is about you, so let's go have your #5."
"The number 5?" he asked, his mouth dropping.
"With extra creamy tomatillo sauce."
He stepped back, a hand to his chest. "Are you trying to seduce me woman?"
She walked up to him slowly, a grin on her face. "I don't know, am I?" With that she turned around and walked away. Chuck's mind exploded and he stood there, dazed. A minute later, Molly walked in, took his hand, and led him into the kitchen.

After dinner, Clara came over, gave Chuck a hug and a kiss and said goodnight. Emma shook her head at Chuck, a knowing grin on her face, and took the little one upstairs. Molly came up to the two and looked first at Sarah and then at Chuck.
"I'm so glad I decided you two should get married," she said. "I love you both." With that she turned and headed up the stairs.
"She acts like we had no choice in the matter," Chuck said out of the side of his mouth to Sarah.
"Did we?" Sarah asked. Chuck turned to her, not sure what to say. "Come on," she said, taking his hand and leading him downstairs. They got downstairs, and the big screen had You've Got Mail paused at the beginning. Sarah went over, got the popcorn with milk duds and a mega glass of Orange soda for him, her eyebrows waggling.
"Sarah, wait. What is all of this, what about you? What do you get out of this?"
"What do I get out of this?" Sarah asked. She stared at him. "You are so smart, but so dumb when it comes to love, you know that. I love you, Chuck. You do all these things for us. I know this is a partnership, but so often, you do stuff for me, and I wanted to give you one great Valentine's Day. I wanted you to have a memory you'd never forget."
"I do, Sarah, because you're in it. Last year was amazing."
"Last year I was pregnant, and we ended up having to take care of our daughter who was heartbroken."
"That's right," Chuck replied, a grin on his face. "And it was amazing. I was with the woman I love and that's all I care about."
"And all I care about is being with you, but why do you get to give me things all the time and I don't get to give to you anything?"
"Okay," Chuck said, his hands raised. "Is there anything you'll let me do for you today?"
"Oh, Sweetie, you are so gonna do something for me….later." Chuck's ears when red. "But first…can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"You sure? It's about Ellie." Chuck nodded. "Did she ever….talk about who she wanted you to end up with?" Chuck grinned at her. "It's silly…I just…"
"Wait," Chuck said, and walked over to the shelf and picked up a copy of Stargate SG-1. "She always said the lead scientist on here would be perfect for me, and you remind me of her, in a lot of ways. You did work for your country with no expectation of reward. She was a badass, and so are you. She excelled in a job where it's mostly men, just like you. The characteristics of the two of you are so similar."
Sarah smiled. He wasn't aware how much all of that had lifted her heart. He wasn't aware how much she wanted Ellie to have liked her. She was about to suggest they watch the movie, when his next words knocked her on her ass.
"Yeah, she would always say you and Sam should be together."
"Wait, what?" Sarah asked, shock running through her.
"Samantha Carter," Chuck replied. "She was the lead female character, but everyone called her Sam. Chuck and Sam, she used to say. They'd be perfect. Sam, Sarah, it's close, right?"
"Yeah," Sarah replied. "Yeah, really close." They began to watch the movie, but she wondered, did Ellie really just say that on accident, she had to, right? Right. As the former Samantha Lisa Burton sat there she promised herself it wouldn't be a year before she read the next letter of her sister.
