To make my writing a bit interesting, I used first person basis on this one. I know that it's going to be inconsistent from the rest but there is no harm in trying. We've finally reached the last part and I really had a great time joining this writing fandom. I don't know what happens next but for now this will be my first and last story but a little push of 'free time" may change my mind. Thank you Chucksters for giving me this chance and thank you Chuck/Charah for inspiring me to write.
Again, I don't own Chuck but he owns my heart.
She is my Home
It's been five years since I've seen Sarah. It's been five years since we've had our last reunion on our dream home. We decided to stop communicating to keep my cover as much as possible. But to my benefit, she knows that I always watched over her. Now I'm 36 and still the nerdy guy that I am. Now she is 35 and still looking beautiful as ever. We may have grown to the years but to me, she will always be 26 and I will always be 27. Our story is not like any other story. We met on an odd circumstance, we fell in love in the most impossible way and we got married in the least way we expect we could ever be. The spy life and all the drama of what we went through is not something others would want to have a life with but just like any love story, ours has a beginning, middle and an end. I don't have to hide the fact that though I wanted it to be like any love story, ours didn't go on the way we normally hoped it would be.
Sarah didn't go back to the CIA and I assumed you already know the reason why. It's more than to keep me safe and protecting the secret about the Intersect but because she doesn't have any choice but to leave the CIA for good. You see, our son Levi is now fours years old and he's going to need one of his parents to take care of him, to love him, to sing for him every night before he falls asleep, to be there for him as he grows up and to assure him that everything in the world is safe. But mostly, I don't want him to grow up just like Ellie and I and I don't want to make the same mistakes that our parents did before. I have his picture into my wallet and I don't mean to be cocky but he looks like me though he seems to have gotten his athleticism from his mom. I'm just not sure whether he knows me. As far as what I've learned, Sarah tells him that I'm away somewhere out there and that I watched over them. That's definitely true and I just can't wait to hold him into my arms. If you ask me whether I regretted the decision I made back then, well, I'd be satisfied to say no. It had been difficult but it's worth all the sacrifice I had.
I'm pretty sure you want to ask me about my wife. I have nothing more to say but that she had been the greatest reason why our relationship is still working. Sarah had to be strong for both of us and for our son. I know she didn't know how to be normal but seeing her with our kid and how she has been taking things for the last five years, I'd say she is way past beyond normal because she is perfect in all that she does. God, I missed her. Anyway, she is running both of our businesses as of now. The Buy More and I even forgot the second one but it has something to do with work-out facility. We decided to close Carmichael Industries until I'm through with the CIA. Fortunately, the CIA unfroze the account that we have acquired from Hartley. So now, we are just kinda the secret billionaires of Burbank. Well, millionaires though it's close to billion since I've earned much pay for these past years.
Perhaps you are asking if where I am right now. I don't have much to tell except for the fact that I'm still working in the agency. It's been a rough five year as Shaw's outside alliance kept working on to find out more about the Intersect. Thankfully, they have nothing in hand yet within the last two years. For what the rest knows, Chuck Bartowski carried it to his grave. I'm just hoping that no one will dare dig my grave up so all that I worked for won't be for nothing. But like I said, Sarah has been perfect. I don't know what she did but she assured me to care of it. Yes, behind any man's success is a woman. That's too much for a cliché. I still deal with taking out some bad guys but I don't go out on missions more often. Though Sarah's memories are back, I was able to upgrade Quinn's device more to an eliminator than a suppressor. I'm not done with it yet but I'm hoping to finish this on time.
As I look back all the things I went through, I can't help not to smile at the thoughts that crossed my mind. I'm no Superman, no Batman, no Spiderman but it turns out that my life was more created out from a comic book. I'm only Chuck Bartowski and I'm not the hero type but I ended to be one. And just like any other hero, I didn't get to have that normal life with the woman that I love. For all that the Intersect has done, maybe I'm just this hero. Only a different type of hero. And at the end of the day as what heroes have always done. I'm out here saving the world for the people that I love. Don't get me wrong. I'm no martyr but what would you have done if you were in my place? The point is you are not. I'm Chuck and will always be Sarah's Chuck. No matter where I am and what I have chosen, I know I'm still that guy you also fell in love with.
This mission report has gone a long way. It seems I'm making a diary but I can't help it. I'm just too excited for this day. Actually, I've been looking forward to these two weeks of reprieve from the agency. I know, two weeks isn't much but I need to go back immediately because the device that I have upgraded is up for a test run. I'm hoping it works out so I can turn this thing off my head. Well, not really. I like having the Intersect but like any material stuff with expiration, its life seem to come to an end and the least I want is to go along with it.
Now, I pulled my car over to the side of a familiar lawn with white picket fence. I'm excited and nervous as my dreams for five years are within my reach. I'm not sure if my wife and son are inside on that house but base on what I've learned for years, they stay in on Sunday to watch all the marathon movies I've compiled over the years. I should better step out of my car and go be with them. They didn't know I was coming so I hope that all my surprises will be worthwhile given the fact that I brought along all the latest video games with me because my son and I have a lot catching up to do.
Today, the sun is up shining brightly into the sky. The air is cool as it strongly blows the leaves off its branches. Autumn is nearing and there is no better way to welcome the season than coming home to her. Coming home to my wife. Coming home to my Sarah. Who knows? Two weeks may turn out to be forever.
Spare my life! I told yah… "Happily ever afters" are not my cup of tea but I know that this story deserves a proper ending so there, I think that's enough. But again, what do you think? Till then Chucksters.
