Chapter 3 – Chuck vs. The Relationship (part 2)

Before:

"Sarah, the spare bedroom can be for all my gadgets and junk, right?" Chuck asked his girlfriend, who had just entered their new apartment behind him.

"And what if I want to use it as space to practice throwing knives?" Sarah replied.

He didn't know what to say back to her because he wasn't sure whether or not she was joking. She soon confirmed his suspicions.

"I'm joking Chuck, I can do that at Castle. Go ahead, the space is yours."

He let out a sigh of relief. Since they'd began the moving in process, he and Sarah had had their fair share of arguments. They both had different opinions on what to do and how to do it, and because Sarah was so stubborn and he was so persistent, they ended up fighting over whatever it was. He was glad this time was different, he hated having to fight with her, especially seeing as she was a trained spy and could harm him in any way she pleased if she felt like doing so.

Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he picked up one of the boxes that were stationed at the entrance of the apartment and headed towards the spare bedroom. They had just been at Ellie's, gathering the last of his things and saying goodbye to her and Devon. It felt weird to him, it's not like they were moving to another city or state, but he knew that he would definitely see less of his sister and her husband now that he and Sarah had a place of their own.

He remembered when they had told everyone at dinner last week that they would be moving in together. Of course everyone was ecstatic that they were taking the next (and long awaited) step in their relationship but Devon, and Ellie especially, had been worried that it was too soon after the accident. It took Sarah about a day to convince them that things would be fine and that she would take good care of him. He smiled at the thought, Sarah had been so good to him. Not only after the accident but in the past two years that she had been his handler. He couldn't have asked for anyone else.

He finished moving the last of his boxes into the spare bedroom and then joined Sarah in the kitchen, where she was busy preparing lunch.

"So Sarah, what else do we have to do with this place?"

She turned to give him a smile and then replied. "Well a CIA team will be here later to install some security systems and then I believe your Buy More friends will be here tomorrow morning to set up the home system for the lounge." She turned to look at him again, this time with a small gleam in her eye. "You know how I feel about Jeff and Lester knowing where we live but employee discount right?"

He laughed. "We could always move again if it makes you comfortable?"

"Don't tempt me Chuck."


Later that evening, after the CIA team had left and they had checked in with Beckman to let her know that the move had been successful, they lay on their new bed in their bedroom. Chuck was exhausted, it had been a tough week for him, physically and emotionally and he was sure that Sarah felt the same way. He turned on his side to look at her. She was lying on her back with her eyes closed and he thought that she looked as beautiful as ever. He was nervous about tonight. It was their first time in the same bed together since the accident. Well since he had recovered. He wanted this night to be special but he wasn't sure where to start pleasing a woman like her. And frankly, he hadn't had enough time to think about making this night memorable, seeing as they had been so busy.

Sarah's voice broke through his thoughts. "Why are you staring at me Chuck?"

He answered her by leaning forward and placing a small kiss on her forehead. "Because you're so damn beautiful." He saw the blush rise up her neck and couldn't help but be proud of himself for being able to make her blush.

"Look, Sarah... I'm sorry." When she didn't reply, he knew that she knew what he was referring to. "Obviously, we have our differences and this past week has shown me that no matter how much I care about you, there are things we are still going to have to work through." She had now opened her eyes and turned to look at him. Her eyes looked beautiful in the dim light. "I'm sorry for being a jerk this week, it's just been a crazy one."

She stretched out her hand and placed it on his cheek. "I know Chuck, it's ok. I'm sorry too, for being so stubborn. Like you said, we have our differences and now that we're living together, I have a feeling it's not going to get easier. But know that I care about you too ok? And I want this, our relationship, to work." She threw him a small smile. "I'm especially sorry about last night, I didn't mean what I said."

He closed his eyes and sighed, trying very hard not to think of the fight they had had the night before. It had been pretty serious but it was good to know that she hadn't meant the things she said. They still had to talk about it but right now, he just wanted to focus on the good between them. "It's alright Sarah, I know. We'll talk about it another time. Right now, I just want to enjoy being with you tonight."

She threw him another smile. "And in what way is that Mr. Bartowski?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against her ear, feeling her shiver as he did so. "I think it's time we took the next step in this relationship Ms. Walker" he whispered into her ear.

Instead of answering him, she wrapped her arms around his head and pulled his face closer to hers, pressing her lips to his. The kiss soon became passionate as she pushed him onto his back and climbed on top of him. He opened his mouth to allow her tongue entrance as his hands started to explore her body.

He felt her gasp against his mouth as his hands roamed over sensitive areas. She moved her mouth to his neck, kissing a sensitive area as she began to work the buttons on his shirt. When it was off, she ran her hands up and down his chest, sending shivers down his spine.

He placed his hands at the hem of her t-shirt and Sarah lifted her arms so that he could pull the shirt over her head. He stopped breathing as he took in the sight of her. He could see her blush under his gaze. "Goodness Sarah, you're so beautiful" he said, before taking her face in his hands and pulling her in for another deep kiss. Soon, there were clothes sprawled all over the bedroom floor and the only sounds that filled the room were sounds of pleasure as they enjoyed the feel of their naked bodies entwined together.

The night was long as they both reached the point of no return, over and over again. When they were finally exhausted, Chuck gathered Sarah into his arms and lay her down, listening to the sound of her breathing as she tried to catch her breath. After some time, he kissed the top of her head and then moved his mouth to her ears. "That was amazing. You are amazing."

She turned and kissed his jaw, sending sparks through his body. "No Chuck, you're amazing. That was.. Wow." She kissed his neck this time before adjusting her position to kiss him gently on the lips. He kissed her back, loving the feel of her body against his. Before things could go any further, she pulled away and he could feel her smile against his mouth.

"Thank you Chuck" she said. "For being here, for tonight.. For giving me this chance after I'd hurt you so many times. I..."

He placed his lips against hers again, stopping her from saying anymore because he didn't want to hear it. Pulling away, he whispered. "Don't say anymore. You mean everything to me and I wouldn't have it any other way." And with that, he pulled her in for another passionate kiss.

Yeah, it's plain to see
That baby you're beautiful
And it's nothing wrong with you

After:

"Sarah, I'm back" Chuck called as he entered their apartment. "Time to get going."

"Chuck, are you sure Jon is ok? Isn't this too soon? He is only a month old." Sarah replied as she appeared from the kitchen.

"I know love, but he'll be fine with Ellie. Really, she knows what she's doing. And remember the whole getting his patience from his father thing?"

Sarah sighed in reply. "Yes Chuck but still. I mean, we can do this another time, when he's a bit older. It's really sweet of you to think of me but I think our son needs us more."

"No Sarah, you've been under a lot of stress these past couple of months, you need a break. We won't be long ok, I promise but you need a little time away, just trust me."

She smiled up at him and then stretched to give him a quick kiss. "I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you."

"Well, keep thinking that because I'm about to blindfold you."

"What?!"

"And I'm taking the Porsche." He waited for her reaction, glad when he received the one he had expected to.

"Chuck Bartowski, you will NOT blindfold me and then drive my beloved car! No way. I won't have it."

"Well you don't have a choice my love. Now hold still." He laughed to himself as he placed the blindfold over Sarah's eyes and watched the scowl on her face grow. She was in for one hell of a surprise, he thought to himself.


The drive was short but it seemed like forever to him. Sarah hadn't stopped talking, constantly demanding to know where he was taking her. He'd come close to telling her but he couldn't ruin the surprise. This was meant to be one special night for them. She had made him so happy over the past months and now he needed to return the favour and in order to accomplish that successfully, this night had to be perfect.

He exited the car and walked to the other side to open the door for Sarah. He grabbed a hold of her hand and helped her out of the car, seeing as she was still blindfolded.

"We're here" he whispered into her ear.

"Where Chuck? Tell me before I kill you."

He just laughed. "You'll find out soon enough. Let's go." He held onto her hand and led her towards the old Casa Bartowski (Casa Woodcomb just didn't have the same effect). As they neared Ellie and Devon's courtyard, he could hear the song he had picked for her and the hush of voices that quieted down as someone whispered "They're here."

"Chuck, what is that?" Sarah asked curiously.

"Listen to the lyrics Sarah."

He continued to lead her towards the centre of the courtyard, smiling at his friends and family as he passed them. He eventually brought them to a halt when he reached the fountain. He dropped her hand and went around her to remove the blindfold. As the cloth left her eyes, he heard her gasp as she took in her surroundings.

He watched as her eyes took in the sight of their friends and family that had now surrounded them. He smiled to himself as he saw the smile on her face grow as she noticed their son, Jonathan, in Ellie's arms. Her face continued to glow as noticed the decorations that had been set up in the courtyard, creating a romantic mood. And then she turned and lifted her blue eyes to his.

"Chuck? What is all this?" She whispered.

And that's when he felt the butterflies in his stomach. This was it. "Your friends. Your family. All the people that love you."

"Yes I can see that, but why are we here?"

"To remind you that you're never alone." He replied. "We all care about you Sarah, and we'll always be here for you. Especially me." He got down onto one knee and felt the knot in his stomach tighten as she gasped. He saw the disbelief in her eyes.

"Sarah. You are the most amazing person I know. You're smart, caring, strong. The mother of my son. And one breathtakingly beautiful woman." He gave her a small smile as he saw the tears that had begun to form in her eyes. "I want you to know that I'll always be by your side, through the good and the bad. We've been through a lot love and I hope we'll be able to go through so much more together, because I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small blue box. He lifted it up to her and opened it, revealing the diamond ring that was inside.

He could hear the water flowing from the fountain. He could hear the song he had chosen for her playing in the background. He could hear the whispers all around them but he only had eyes for her. Her gasp was much louder this time.

"Chuck" she whispered.

"Sarah. I love you. More than anything in this world. I love you." He took a deep breath. "Sarah Walker, will you marry me?"

I got so much love
For you darlin' and I,
I wanna let you know how I feel

And it's true that I love you
And it's true you're the only one and I do,
I adore you
And it's true girl
You make me feel alive...
