A/N: Okay, when I set out to write an epilogue, I ran into a few issues. Just how did I want this to end? The problem is, I'm not sure how I want it to end! So I came up with a few different scenarios. This is just the second. For those of you that read the first epilogue, this one will seem very familiar at first. Then it goes way off course. There may be one more alternate ending at some point. I'm not sure yet, but keep an eye out for it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, and please review. Thanks!

Six years later…

The first rays of morning light lit the bedroom. Sarah woke to the sound of birds chirping just outside her window that had been left open to allow the fresh late springtime air to fill the house with the wonderful smell of life renewed. Sarah breathed deep the scent, and snuggled deeper into the embrace of her husband, whose arm was thrown across her, holding her in the spoon position.

She felt him begin to stir.

"Mornin', babe," Devon said sleepily as he pressed a kiss to her neck.

"Mmmhmm," Sarah groaned. Teasingly she ground her still well toned backside into her husband's groin.

"Feeling naughty this morning I see," Devon whispered against her ear, his warm breath causing her to shudder. It amazed her that he still had that effect on her. Before Sarah could answer, he lightly pulled her chin around to face him and kissed her lips lightly.

"Do you think we have time before –"

Sarah's question was cut off as the bedroom door was flung open.

"Mommy, daddy!" shouted the voice of the rambunctious little boy standing just in front of his sister. Both children had blond hair and blue eyes, just like their parents. Both were tall for five year olds. Little Ryan was the perfect image of his father. He was loud and very outgoing. Lori on the other hand was much more like her mother. She was very shy, very unassuming, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that she'd be a heartbreaker when she got a bit older.

"Good morning baby!" Sarah said enthusiastically. True, she wouldn't have minded a little morning glory with her husband, but she always had time for the twins. They were the most important people in her life.

"You didn't forget, did you?" Ryan asked, crossing his arms.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Devon teased the little boy.

"The water park!" the little boy exclaimed. "It opens today and you said we could go!"

"Oh did we now?" Devon asked, feigning ignorance.

"You did say we could go," Lori piped up softly.

"Then I guess you guys better help me drag your mom out of bed, then," Devon said.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two five year olds ran across the room and jumped onto the king-size bed. They started to pull the covers off of Sarah and tried to pull her up by her hand.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Sarah groaned, trying to suppress the giggle that was bubbling up in her throat.

"Hey, how about a hug for your parents?" Devon asked.

The two kids wrapped their little arms around Sarah and held her as tight as they could even as Sarah returned the hug. Devon came behind them all and pulled them all into a tight embrace.

As she held her babies, and Devon held them all in his strong arms, Sarah sighed happily. This was all she'd ever wanted, and even if she'd had to kiss a few toads on the way, she finally had her prince charming and the life of happiness she'd always dreamed of.

Back to present day…

Sarah awoke with a smile on her face. She'd had dreams like the one she just experienced for some time. Occasionally she would have them when she was with Bryce, but deep down she knew that he would never be the family man type. Then when she'd met Chuck, the dreams of a normal life became more persistent. For the longest time, she believed that they were nothing but dreams, but as the Intersect project continued, she came to realize that she wanted that, and that Chuck could be the one to help her achieve that life.

Then Chuck turned into a big idiot who wanted to be a spy, and her dreams had been dashed again. Then Devon came along. At first, Sarah thought that what they had was just sex. It was a release shared between two people who had their hearts broken. They were just helping one another out. But as their torrid affair continued, she started to think of their connection in a much deeper, more romantic way.

Since he'd had to leave home, Devon really didn't have anywhere to stay, so Sarah had been more than happy to let him stay with her. Of course Chuck being all caught up with his new spy status hadn't thought anything about Sarah offering her home to Devon. No one, except maybe Casey suspected that anything was going on between the blonde CIA agent and the doctor. And if Casey knew, he wasn't saying anything. As long as the team continued to function, Casey was never one to complain anyway.

But the team wouldn't continue to function much longer if Sarah had her way. True, at first Devon had been nothing but a fuck buddy to her, but she was starting to see him as more. No, she didn't love him, and she didn't know if she ever would or could, but he was at least normal. He could give her the life of her dreams, and all she would have to do was to keep him satisfied. Speaking of…

Sarah rolled over to her bed mate who was still asleep. No doubt she'd worn him out pretty good the night before. Certainly Ellie didn't know the things Sarah knew how to do to a man. But Sarah was starting to want him in other ways, and she'd have to step her game up. She'd have to make herself valuable to him.

Moving as quietly as possible, she slid her body down to Devon's groin, kissing his muscular chest and abs lightly as she went. When she reached his manhood, she kissed him once more, just above his cock, and then took him into her mouth. She threw the covers off of him, and began to suck him softly and sweetly.

Even still asleep, Devon's member began to grow and harden in her mouth. She smiled as she continued to bob her head up and down, taking more of his length every time. She saw Devon begin to stir under her ministrations, and she marveled at how his well tones legs and abs, and chest, and arms (damn he was sexy!) rippled with just his small movements. She hears him let out a sleepy, but manly groan as he explodes in her mouth.

Sarah swallows his essence, and slides her body back up beside his. She presses a soft kiss to his cheek, throwing a leg over him so that he can feel how wet she is with arousal. Her soft breasts rest against Devon's firm, torso. Sarah sighed. "Good morning, lover," she said softly.

Devon seemed to tense under her touch, and Sarah looked at him worriedly. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Sarah, I," Devon paused. He seemed to be looking for the right words. But the right words for what? "I've been doing some thinking?"

"What have you been thinking about?" Sarah said, trying to hide the fear that was beginning to bubble up in her gut.

"I shouldn't be doing this," Devon said softly.

"Devon –"

"No, Sarah. I'm still married! And things might be bad right now, but I have to try to save my marriage. I have to try to get Ellie to take me back," he explained.

"But what about us?" Sarah asked pathetically. What about our future? What about you falling in love with me, and giving me the life I've always wanted? What about all of that?

"Sarah, you said it yourself after the first time we were together. This is just sex. We've just been helping each other out. But this isn't real."

Tears began to form in Sarah's eyes. It had been a long time since she'd felt so used. So dirty. And never had she regretted saying something as much as she regretted telling Devon that what they had meant nothing. She'd only said it to protect herself, but now it was coming back to bite her in the ass.

"But I thought…" she choked out.

"Shhh," Devon soothed. "It's okay. I won't tell anyone about this. This can just be out little secret. You're good at keeping secrets, right?" he joked.

"Right," Sarah said sadly. After all, what was her life but a series of secrets? What she wanted just never seemed to matter. But she couldn't live like that anymore. She had to get out. There still had to be a white knight out there for her somewhere, right? A normal guy that could actually love her. Not like Bryce, or Chuck, or apparently Devon, who was no different than any other man had ever been in her life. "I guess I'll see you later," she lied.

And even as Devon left her hotel room for the last time, Sarah began packing a small bag. She had to get away from LA. She had to get away from the heartache. She didn't know where she needed to be, but it wasn't there anymore.

A/N: You guys are awesome. Peace.
