I know that this is the chapter you have been waiting for. I have to admit that it took me 2 hours to write since this by far is the longest chapter I've written. Hope I didn't come up short on this one. I will be out on fieldwork for the next couple of days but as promised. I will try to finish this one before I forget where I'm at. Thank you for all the reviews.

Again, I don't own Chuck.

Fulfilling Someday

Sarah drove right away from the airport to this place. She nervously shuffled her car keys as she halted the car to the side of a familiar road and turned the engine off. She's a spy for heaven's sake. Spies don't get nervous. But she remembers the last time she had felt this way. It was when Chuck tried to propose to her at the balcony in France. The only difference right now is this feeling comes with a little unease. Almost killing Chuck on this house is not something she would want to do and see again. This is maybe their dream home but to all the memories they both have shared from candle lit picnics to carving their names and ending her to nearly shooting Chuck, this place is the last thing she would ever want to be.

She step out of her Porsche and walked closer to the red door. She is hoping that she's right about to what the key is meant for. It took her awhile to figure out when Beckman hander her this but it didn't take long for her to realize where it should be for, after all, this is what she had been dreaming all this time. Only that she dreamt this together with Chuck and now all she had is the house. Even to his death, Chuck never ceases to surprise her. He always gave his best for her and sometimes she wonders whether their relationship had been all a dream. It's like the last five years never happened but here she is now twisting the lock and opening the door and an old familiar scent of the living room welcomed her.

There is nothing seems strange about the inside except that all damaged has been repaired after what had happened the last time and an added furniture like chairs and tables and whatever Chuck may have put on upstairs. She turned on one light into the living room and decided to go upstairs to see if the mirror where she kicked and pushed Chuck's head was also been replaced. If this house was bought by Chuck for her then than the mirror is the first thing she will rid off, she doesn't want to have all those things that remind her of what she did. She has even decided to call and ask her mom and Molly to stay here because Sarah Walker's home is not this house. Her home is Chuck and what good is it to have her dream realized when the very person she wanted to be with is now away from home forever.

She slowly opened the door and savored the surroundings as all the memories are coming back to her. Chuck telling. Chuck begging. Chuck crying and Chuck kneeling. It was painful to remember. She better sells this house or calls her mom later. But the good thing is that the mirror has been replaced and that is all she has to know and she is leaving this place soon enough. As she was about to close the door she noticed a letter or paper resting on the bed. She walked back to the bed and took the paper and she was a slightly amazed as to what it is.

It's the house and lot title deed. There is nothing unusual in it except that it was named after Chuck's and her. Sparkling her interest, she flipped the paper to see what is written on the back and she found nothing seems to be of intriguing yet. She folded the legal title and placed it in one of her pockets as she decided to close the door and proceeded downstairs. While pacing to leave the house suddenly it occurred to her. Why would the title be left in here when it should be placed or given to the owner of this house? If the owner of this house isn't present then it should have been on the real estate developer temporarily or at least it could have been sent to me. Unless this house was just newly bought but the developer would never have left it in here unless the owner if this house has actually received and left in here. While thinking into what 'leaving the title to the owner' actually signifies and trying to piece everything, Sarah suddenly froze to the familiar voice she heard coming from the door frame where her and Chuck's names were carved. And her spy instincts suddenly kicked in. She grabbed her gun behind her back and pointed it out to whoever it maybe all the while thinking it can't be him.

"I thought you already figured it out?" Chuck emerged in the shadows greeting her with the famous Bartowski smile but at once raised his hands and exclaimed "Whoah! Sarah, you don't wanna repeat shooting me like you almost did before, do you?

Sarah couldn't believe what she was seeing. Is this all a dream? Taken for the fact that she is in their dream home and once it felt like a dream. She lowered her gun, dropped it to the side and raised her hands to cover her mouth in disbelief. "Oh my god. You are alive!" She whispered, her voice still shaking in awe. "But you know what? I could have this vivid dreams sometimes". She continued repeating what Chuck said before while walking closer to him.

"You are not dreaming. I'm here looking as dashing as ever with my flesh and bones intact unless of course you remember…" He didn't get to finish his sentence as Sarah lunged herself to embrace him. Chuck almost lost his balance and still went on with his rambling while holding them both in place. "Yeah, I think that says it all. You remember now?" He asked her with a teasing tone backing away his head a little bit so he can see her face. She still looks beautiful and striking, Chuck thought. How in the world did he ever get so lucky?

"I remember every single detail." Sarah replied while the tears are slowly running down her cheeks. "I know it's crazy but the fact is I remember falling in love with you. I even remember our first kiss. Not our first cover kiss, but our first real kiss was when we were trying to diffuse a bomb and we thought we were gonna die. And I closed my eyes and you felt I grab you and kiss you. I kissed you. And then there was a lot of pretending that it didn't happen and awkward back and forth and even dating other people. But one day, when you were sure that I could never love a nerd like you, I came over and you asked me if I loved you and I, Sarah Walker, said yes. And when you asked me to marry you, I didn't even have to say yes because we both knew that we'd spend the rest of our lives together. So I remember this house and the red door and the white picket fence and the family we were going to raise together.. and I remember you, Chuck. The nerdy guy who works at the buy more who could only make me happy". Sarah ended with a smile as she can't imagine to have said the same words he told her in this house.

"Wow! That's was a lot of remembering honey! Chuck replied while wiping the tears from her eyes. "And I still love you with all of my heart". Chuck continued assuring her that this was all real and nothing has changed. And as time stood still and the reality is slowly surfacing into what is happening that they are finally together, their eyes met and Chuck leaned forward to meet her lips. They kissed like they've never kissed before and as strange as it maybe, it felt like it has its own magic working its way to something they haven't experienced and never known before. The kissed lasted for few seconds. It even lasted longer than what they had on the beach. If breathing isn't a necessity, Sarah could tell that they'll die kissing at the very moment. When it was time that their lungs need oxygen, they hesitantly pulled their lips apart.

"Looks like someone really missed me." Sarah said detaching her lips while trying to catch her breath from the kiss and winked at him. And sensing that he couldn't come up with an answer, she continued. "Don't worry, I miss you too just as you missed me." And she planted a kiss on his cheek following his words, "I love you too with all of my heart".

Chuck is still in a total haze. And he couldn't figure out what was that all about. Was it the kiss or was it because Sarah or because it's been awhile since they've kissed. But bottom line is "Sarah, did we just kiss like that? He asked still surprised about the kiss. To which Sarah responded "Uhm. It was something wasn't it?" As she slowly disengage herself from Chuck's arms.

"Hmmm. It's definitely 'something '. I didn't know that losing your memories somehow has also its benefits." Chuck replied smiling contently to his wife. Knowing that he had to finally drop the bomb and tell her the truth so he asked her something that will get her mind off about his whole 'death' situation.

"How did you get them back anyway?" Asking her as they slowly sat down in one of the chairs in the living room.

"I remembered everything because of The Spy…" She cut-off her statement and thought that this isn't about her memories that's the issue. "Wait a minute. Shouldn't I be the one asking why you are alive? And what was that all about your pretend death? Did you go back to the agency because you are still the Intersect? Does Ellie, Morgan and rest of the family know? Sarah asked continuously like there was no tomorrow and Chuck is starting to freak out.

(Oh boy, how am I going to tell her? Okay. I brought this upon myself so…what the hell) "Honey." Chuck replied while swallowing the lump forming on his throat. "That's a lot of question to answer in a single talk but I'm going to tell you everything only if you promise me to keep your spy mode on because what I need right now is Sarah the spy not Sarah my wife, though I want both but given all that I'm going to explain then I think the former is the best. " Chuck continued in a pleading tone while holding firmly both Sarah's arm on either side.

"Why do I feel like you are going tell me some sort of a bad news?" Sarah asked feeling this is going to be one long talk with Chuck.

"Well, uh kinda. But you will get my point if you just keep that spy mode on. Okay?" Chuck said in a shaky voice.

"Okay then. I'm all ears". Sarah replied looking perturbed to listen to him.

After 20 minutes…

"Are you out of your mind? What were you thinking?" Sarah exclaimed in furry. "So it seems like this is a repeat performance of what you did back when the Omen virus was released and the CIA hunted us down. I think this means that you are leaving without me again thinking you could protect me". She continued nearing to breaking point.

Chuck doesn't like it when he sees Sarah is hurting let alone angry at him. But who can blame him back then and who can blame him now? All he did was for both of them.

"It's more than protecting you and my family FYI. I thought of all the people you will be the one who can understand me the most." He replied with a softer tone.

"I don't know what to understand about this whole situation. Chuck, I've given my entire life for the agency and walked out of it knowing it's much worth to spend the rest of it with you. And now. Now. You are giving us up for the very same reason I have given mine to the CIA?" She spoke with defeated voice feeling like all the energy has been drained out of her.

"Maybe I made a mistake. Maybe this was not after all a good idea. But if there is one thing I'm sure of is I know that what I did has much more to do with saving us and loving you while protecting everyone one at the same time. You came back to be a spy. I just can't sit down and watched my wife slipped away from me. I know it sounds crazy but you know that I'm going to pull all the stops so I can only be with you even if it doesn't seem like I'm with you physically. But we both know that this thing in my head is the very reason why we are in this situation. Sarah, you need to understand that I have to end this." He continued more fervently so she can accept this all in.

"Chuck, if my memories didn't get wipe out and you have the Intersect, are you going to make the same decision like you just did now? She wants all the honesty she can get from him because there is no point for him to stay in the CIA as she had her memories back now.

"I don't know". He admitted. "But if you could remember at what happened on the Opera where I chose to upload it to save others than rather saving your memories so maybe I have answered your question. But it doesn't mean that I love you less Sarah because I love you more than life itself and I just couldn't selfishly love you knowing what I can do will save so many lives and knowing that this thing in my head can only be the key to ending all of this." He ended the sentence a lot more exhausted than he ever was compared to talking with the General.

"I'm sorry." She finally accepted the painful reality. "The truth Chuck is, I understand you all along but maybe I'm just afraid to admit it because this seems like a déjà vu of what happened in Prague and…" She didn't finish what she was saying as Chuck hugged her closer to him "No, this isn't like Prague. It's never even close and we are way past beyond that stage. Come on, we are married and we have each other's back." Chuck cut her off and reassured her that everything is going to be fine.

"Maybe I should stay in the agency along with you?" She asked looking for a little sign of hope to be with him.

"Sarah, you know we can't risk it. If you stay here then the better for these people to think that there is no more Intersect. And you've given so much for the agency it's time I finally gave them what I have but this time, it will be for last. I think it will be too much to have them us both there. We've already done that before and you deserve a normal life out here. I promise you that even others and you refuse to believe it, I know this will be over". Chuck calmly replied to her.

"I don't even know how to be normal without you. You are my normal Chuck." She lovingly admitted.

"My normal?" Chuck repeated looking into directly into her eyes. "I like the sound of it. Yes, you can live this life and you can be that woman that I've always known you deep within. You are Sarah Walker-Bartowski and it's not like you can't do anything.

"I know you taught me how to be normal but it is easier said than done Chuck". She replied sensing this is coming to an end.

"I didn't just teach you. Remember, I showed it to you. You can do this for both of us." Chuck spoke while tightening his grip to her arms afraid to let her go.

Sarah continued asking him about something."So what about the rest of your family? I mean, our family. They deserve to know too."

"I think you can tell them. I don't have much time to stay and explain things further." He replied slightly disappointed as to what fate has laid upon their lives.

"You're leaving? How long do you still have till they need you back there? She asked hoping to have more time with him. He is going under cover though it doesn't quite like it but she knows it still seems to be that way and she needed to be close to him as much as possible.

"I have till sunrise. I asked for this day to be with you. Well, technically it's already night time so I only have this evening with you." He replied feeling the same way that she feels at the moment. "Why, Mrs. Bartwoksi? What do you have in mind?" Chuck teased her while doing again that Bartowski eyebrow dance she dearly loved.

She chuckled and for the first time she felt happy and contented to be with him. "I think you know what I'm thinking about and yet again as if I think this will end up just like what happened on the bullet train."

"Ahh. That's not gonna happen because I'm going to be there when you wake up in the morning and I don't intend to wipe my memories back on the agency and there is no Quinn. It's just going to be you and me." He smiled to her knowing his statements can sometimes be too good to be true.

"Well then, let's not waste time. We only have few hours left and I intend to have you all for myself and I liked to revise the duel that happened between us before but this time you ought to fight back." Teasingly stressing out her point to Chuck, she stood up and tugged his right hand leading him upstairs to their bedroom.

That's it. Thanks for reading and please R&R. I will post the final chapter in one to two days time. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
