Also I've been a bit lax about this but no i don't own Chuck despite many generous offers ranging from 3$ - 8$ they refuse to bite oh well.

A/N First thanks again to tshdow beta tester extraordinaire. And as tempting as it was to leave all of you hanging I figure I should probably post it. I hate cliffhangers don't you.

Chuck Vs Revelations

She awoke as her spy senses alerted her to the fact someone had entered the room. Looking up she saw it was Casey.

Casey looked grim "Briefing at 0'10 hundred hours Walker." His face softened as he saw her comprehend what that meant. "I'm sorry Sarah I tried."

Sarah could only nod as her throat constricted to much to speak. Casey never called her Sarah. She felt Chuck stir against her mumbling something as he started the journey to consciousness. Despite the looming threat, she couldn't help a small smile as she looked down at him. Looking back up at Casey she left no doubt what she wanted from him, taking the hint he left.

Looking at her watch she shivered 8:30, only 1 and half hours left before the briefing. She had to tell Chuck everything now, how she felt about him and for how long. She also had to tell him how she betrayed him and almost killed him, took advantage of him. She felt her heart sink at the prospect that she wouldn't just be losing him physically today but emotionally as well. He'd never want to see her again. Her eyes filled with tears but she had to do this. He needed to hear it from her and not Casey, not Beckman, but her.

But it could wait five minutes or maybe ten. He was so peaceful, absently she reached out a hand to stroke his curls. She instantly regretted it. Chuck awoke at her touch, dashing her hopes of a few more minutes of him loving her.

"Good morning" she whispered, trying to express the depth of her feelings through this small greeting.

Looking directly up into her eyes, a goofy grin spreading across his face "It certainly is."

God he was so ridiculous, his corny jokes, his goofy grin, all of it. She was going to miss it all.

"I clearly need to be hospitalized more often." he said as his smile grew till he saw the sadness in her eyes.

"Sarah what's wrong?" he asked in a worried voice.

"It's .."

Starting again "Chuck you need to promise me something from now until I tell you it's okay to talk again; you can not say a single word. It's the only way I'll be able to do this, do you agree."

Chuck nodded his face solemn.

"First Chuck, you need to know I love you." She placed a finger over his goofy grin to prevent him saying anything "Remember you promised."

He only nodded again, his eyes shining. "I have been in Love with you for so long and each time I had to turn you down it hurt so badly." She felt his arms tighten around her. She smiled down at him before pouring out her soul to him. Then with a heavy heart, she explained what she had done to him. Watching his face become more and more serious as the tale continued.

"So it's over now and I'm so so sorry Chuck." She finally choked out.

His brow pinched as he thought. Sarah couldn't stand the silence. Finally admitting defeat she wearily tried to get to her feet.

Her progress stopped suddenly "Where do you think your going?" he asked.

"I'm leaving. I can understand why you don't want to see me anymore."

"I'm so sorry, Sarah" he said his voice suddenly sad.

"It was my fault Chuck, I'm getting what I deserve." She replied sadly trying to get up again.

"Sarah your not going anywhere, now that I know how you feel. I'm never letting you go." he said gripping her tighter.

She could feel her heart bursting for joy. "I'm confused Chuck, you said you were sorry? I thought you were telling me you didn't love me, that you couldn't forgive me."

Pulling her closer, he gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. "No silly, I was sorry for the pill thing."

She was annoyed "Chuck how on earth can you blame yourself for that it, was my fault. You didn't even know what was going on. I could have killed you!"

"First off you didn't and second, how many times have I expressed how deeply I care about you."

Confused by the sudden change of topic "I don't know innumerable" She responded with a smile.

"Exactly Sarah and yet despite that you didn't feel comfortable enough, safe enough to come to me when you needed help with something. You needed me and were afraid of me. The worst thing is you would probably have been right. I hate myself for being so selfish how could I.."

"Chuck.." she interrupted.

"No, Sarah it's your turn to listen. In all my efforts I was so focused on making you know how I felt and on trying to get you to admit how you felt. I only succeeded in scaring you away. When you needed me my actions made it impossible for you to ask. So you did what you needed to, this is my fault." He said his voice leaving no doubt how he felt.

She leaned into him, kissing him like she'd imagined it would be. Letting passion consume them both as they lost themselves in each other. Stopping to breathe, she leaned her forehead against his "Let's call it even."

His only response was to pull her back in for another kiss. Halfway through she felt something gnawing at her gut. Worry that wouldn't go away, they had so little time left. She had been prepared to leave knowing he hated her but knowing he loved her, how could she leave. Chuck caught onto her mood and pulled back and looked into her eyes "Sarah tell me what's wrong, what haven't you told me."

Unable to contain her fear, "She's gonna separates us." she confirmed as she burst into tears.

Chuck pulled her head to his shoulder gently stroking it "Shh shhh it's gonna be okay. Whose gonna separate us."

"Beckman" her voice altering from despair to anger in an instant.

"We'll figure something out. I won't let her separate us."

Glancing at her watch, she saw they only had 15 minutes left before she had to leave for the meeting. "Chuck I have to leave in 15 minutes and she knows about the sleeping pills, it's over."

They sat in silence holding each other, Chuck wrapped in thought as Sarah clung to him. With five minutes left, he looked into her eyes. "Your right there is nothing you can say." Sarah felt her hopes die.
