A/N: Well here we go with the second part of the Island vacation. Everything I wrote in this chapter and the last chapter are all real places and things you can do in Hawaii. Unfortunately, I've never been there to do any of them but who knows, maybe someday. I hope everyone enjoys this update and like I've said all along, I really do enjoy the reviews. I don't own Chuck. Enjoy the chapter.

Chuck and Sarah both slept soundly during the night. Between the day they had at the Luau and the lovemaking they did afterwards, they were just worn out. They still had several days left of their vacation and the next two had been planned out by Sarah. She had talked to some of the hotel staff and they had given her some ideas of things to do. Chuck was a little nervous when he found out Sarah had the next couple of days planned. He knew she liked adventure and he wasn't sure what she would get them involved in.

Sarah was the first to wake. She reached up and gave Chuck a light kiss on the lips. "Hmmm, that has to be the best way to start the day that I can think of."

Sarah gave him a sly grin. "I'll bet I can come up with at least a couple another ways that you might find more enjoyable."

Chuck couldn't stop the blush that came over him. "Sarah, there are probably hundreds of ways you could wake me up and I'll bet I would love every single one of them." Now it was Chuck who had the sly grin on his face. "Of course, I'm pretty sure that you have a couple that would probably be on the top ten lists of ways to be woken up."

Sarah turned and got out of bed. "Do me a favor and remind me when we get back home."

"What is it that you want me to remind you of?"

"I want to start working on that list of yours. I want to know how long I can make the list and I really want to know which ones end up in the top ten."

Chuck couldn't stop laughing at Sarah's comment until he saw the she wasn't laughing. "You're really serious about this list?"

Sarah turned and walked to the end of the bed. She turned towards Chuck and removed her t-shirt. "You're damn right I'm serious and if you get that cute ass of yours out of bed and follow me to the shower, I'll show you just how serious I am."

Chuck couldn't get out of bed fast enough as he watched Sarah's naked form strut across the cottage and head for the shower. It didn't take him long before he had moved in behind her as she reached in and turned the shower on. Chuck used the time they were waiting for the water to heat up to heat Sarah up. He kissed the side of her neck and ear while taking his hands and massaging Sarah's bare breast. The moans that escaped from her throat, told him that it was working. When the water was warm enough, they both got in the shower. It was quite a while later before they actually got cleaned up in the shower and neither of them could stop the smiles that graced both of their faces. Their lovemaking was always intense and this morning was no different.

Sarah had never felt love like this before and sometimes it felt like it would overwhelm her. That is until her and Chuck made love. She could feel the love that each of them had for each other and it always felt so right and it made her realize that they were made for each other. Sarah was grateful that she had found a man as kind and caring as Chuck and knew that the love they felt for each other was a once in a lifetime love. She never wanted to have the empty feeling she had when she left Chuck before and knew that she would do everything in her power to be with Chuck for as long as he would have her. She hoped it would be forever.

Chuck sat on the edge of the bed while Sarah was in the bathroom finishing getting ready. He truly felt like the luckiest man in the world. Sarah was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and she was with him. She could have any man she wanted and yet she chose him. He was heartbroken when she had left before but now he was as happy as he'd ever been in his entire life and it was all because of Sarah. Even though Sarah had been one of the CIA's best agents who showed very little emotions when they first met, she had turned into a very caring and loving person. Chuck had fallen in love with her when they first met and now the love he felt for was a hundred times greater then that first meeting between the two of them. He had Sarah back and he never planned to let her go. He had something up his sleeve that would hopefully ensure that they were together forever. That day was coming soon.

Sarah came out of the bathroom to find Chuck lying naked on the bed. "As much as enjoy seeing you without your clothes on, I think you might want to get dressed before we go out."

"You haven't told me what it is that we're doing today, so I wasn't sure what to wear."

Sarah walked over to the bed and sat down beside Chuck. They had just made love in the shower and yet sitting here beside him was turning her on. Chuck's new and improved body was hard to ignore but she did her best and told him to wear a tank top and swim trunks.

Chuck smiled as he got out of bed. He made sure to walk just inches in front of Sarah's face as he walked over to the closet.

Sarah closed her eyes and steadied her breathe. "Oh you are not playing nice, you evil, evil man. Remember, paybacks can be a bitch."

Chuck couldn't stop laughing as he grabbed his swim trunks and a tank top. "I don't know what you're talking about. I just got out of bed and came over here to get my clothes."

Sarah opened her eyes and went to respond but stopped when she found that Chuck was standing directly in front of her and he still had put on the clothes. He was standing close enough that Sarah could smell the soap coming from his freshly washed skin. It took all the willpower she could muster to not grab Chuck's manhood and start another lovemaking session. She could feel her pulse quicken and the heat rise from within her. "Chuck, if you don't get dressed in the next few seconds, then I'm going to do things to you that are probably illegal in all fifty states and I'm sure that when I'm done, you'll have a hard time walking for the rest of our vacation."

Chuck stepped back and pulled his swim trunks on. He wasn't sure how much of what Sarah had just said was true and he wasn't sure if he wanted to find out.

Sarah watched as Chuck finished getting dressed. She had to admit that he could definitely get her motor running without even trying and if it wasn't for the schedule she had planned for the day and then she would have had her way with him on the spot.

Sarah got up from the bed and walked over to give Chuck a hug. "Are you ready for a day of adventure?"

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Care to tell me where we're going?"

Sarah hooked her arm through Chuck's and they headed for the door. "It's a surprise sweetheart and I really think you'll love it."

Once they got to the front of the hotel, Sarah went over to the cab driver and whispered where she wanted to go. The cabbie acknowledged her request and once they got in, they were off.

The cab ride over to their destination was like all the rest of them. You could just sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island and it was quite relaxing. It wasn't long before the cab driver pulled into their final destination. When Chuck stepped out the cab he couldn't top the smile that spread across his face.

The sign said Sea Life Park's Dolphins. Chuck turned and gave Sarah a huge bear hug. "You are the best girlfriend ever. I can't believe we're going to get to swim with dolphins."

Sarah felt so much pride from hearing Chuck say that. "I got us the full package, we'll get to do everything with dolphins and that does include swimming with them." She never had a doubt that Chuck would love swimming with the dolphins but she wasn't sure how he would react to what she had planned for the afternoon.

They entered the park and checked in with an attendant. The attendant checked her clip board and found that they were on the VIP list. She escorted them to a seating area in the front. Once the show started they were brought up to a platform and were allowed to touch and shake the fins of the dolphins.

The second stage of the show allowed Chuck and Sarah along with some other people to get in the water with the dolphins. They were told that they could hang on to the dolphins fins and get pulled through the water. Sarah looked over and couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her face. Chuck looked like a little kid as he was get pulled through the water by one dolphin and then another.

The third stage of the show was what cost the most and Sarah knew that it would be worth every penny. There were only three couples that were in the water now. They listened to the trainer who instructed them on what to do. They asked for a volunteer and Chuck nudged Sarah, "Go ahead sweetie, I think since you came up with this wonderful idea, I think you should be able to go first."

Sarah gave Chuck a kiss and then raised her hand. "I'll give it a try."

The trainer had her come over to him and he explained what was going to happen. He told Sarah to lie on her stomach and keep her legs locked out straight and to keep her toes pointing down. He told her the two dolphins would come up behind her and use their nose against her feet to push her through the water.

Chuck watched as Sarah had a permanent smile on her face as the dolphins pushed her in a giant circle.

Sarah came up behind Chuck and wrapped her arms around Chuck's neck. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled herself tight against him. "That was the most incredible thing I've ever done. The dolphins were so gentle and yet they pushed me through the water at a pretty good clip. I'm ready to quit my job and just move here."

Chuck was shocked at Sarah's last statement. "You would really quit the CIA? I never thought I would ever hear you say that."

"Let me put it another way, I would love to quit my job and move here with you. You've shown me a whole different side of life that I never got a chance to experience until I met you. Now that I've experienced some of it, I can't imagine my life going back to the way it used to be."

Chuck moved Sarah around to the front of him. "As long as we're together, your life will never be the way it used to be. I will make it my life long mission to make sure that the remainder of your life will be filled with love and experiences that you will cherish forever."

Sarah hugged Chuck tightly as she responded. "As long as were together, I'll be the happiest woman in the world."

Chuck grinned at her last statement. He had a plan for their last night on the island and he was hoping that they would both be happy at the end of the night. It would be a couple more days and he would find out the answer to that question.

It was finally Chuck's turn and just like Sarah, he was thrilled to no end after getting pushed by the dolphins. It really was an incredible feeling.

They were both very happy with how the morning went and Sarah was just a tad bit nervous about what Chuck's reaction would be like when he found out what their plans were for the afternoon.

They called for a taxi and when it arrived Sarah whispered where she wanted to go to the driver. He nodded his head and drove them to their next destination. Chuck watched as they pulled up to a large row of boat docks.

He looked over at Sarah, "Are we going fishing? I just never really took you for being a big fan of fishing."

Sarah had a small smirk on her face. "You'll just have to wait and see." When she called and made the reservation, she made sure to talk to the captain and explain to him that she did not want anything said about what it was they were going to be doing until they were far from shore. She didn't want to give Chuck the chance to jump off the ship once he found out what they would be doing.

Chuck was getting a little nervous. He Sarah wasn't telling what they were going to do for a reason and he wasn't to sure he was going to like it.

They boarded the boat and both took a seat near the bow. Sarah made sure to stay very close to Chuck and never let go of his hand once they had got on board.

They had been going for about fifteen minutes when Chuck turned to Sarah. "Alright, are you going to tell me what it is we're doing out here?"

Sarah gripped Chuck's hand tightly and looked him in the eye. She took a deep breathe and as she slowly let the air out she told him. "We're going swimming Chuck."

"Why would you book a boat to take us out into the middle of the ocean to go swimming, when we could do that at our hotel?'

Sarah took another deep breath and responded. "Well, we're not going to be swimming alone."

Chuck's eyes grew big. "What do you mean we're not going to be swimming alone?"

Sarah reached out and grabbed both of Chuck's hands. "Do you trust me Chuck?"

"I trust you with my life Sarah, you know that."

"Well then I need you to trust me now and know that I would never put you in danger."

She could see fear and skepticism creep across Chuck's face. "We're going to swim with the sharks."

"HOLY SHIT, it sounded like you said we were going to be swimming with the sharks."

"That's because we are sweetie. They will put us in a steel cage and submerge it about three quarters of the way into the water. We will have mask on and it will allow us to go under the water and watch the sharks swim by. When you need a breath, all you just have to stand up and your head will be out of the water. We will be perfectly safe the whole time."

"Now I know why you didn't tell me before we got out to sea. Believe it or not Sarah, I'm not going to lie and tell you I wouldn't have been scared shitless if you had told me before we got on the boat but I still would have come because I really do trust you with my life. I know you would never do anything to put me in harms way and I hope you know that I would do the same for you."

"The CIA teaches you not to trust anyone and until I met you, I never did. I still have trouble trusting other people but not you. I trust you more then anything in this world and I know you would never do anything to harm me either."

They gave each other a kiss and then the captain walked up to them. "I'm Captain Thomas and I want to explain some rules to keep you guys safe while you're in the water. First, never ever stick any part of your body outside the bars of the cage. If you do there's a good chance that a shark with remove it from your body. Second, if you start to have a panic attack, then motion to one of the crewmen and we will raise the cage and get you out of the water. I don't want one of you to panic and try to climb out of the cage while it's still in the water. Any questions?"

Chuck responded. "How do you get the sharks to come by the cage?"

The captain gave a short laugh. "We feed them by throwing a bunch of cut up fish in the water and that usually attracts them close to the boat. We call it chum, just in case you were wondering."

Chuck and Sarah watched as several crewmen threw the chum into the water. It wasn't long before they saw several fins break the top of the water. Captain Thomas walked up to them. "Well, it looks like our guests have arrived, so we're ready when you are."

Sarah turned and grabbed Chuck's face. "Are sure you're ready for this? I'll understand if you don't want to do this."

Chuck leaned in and gave her a kiss. "As long as we're together, I'll be ready for anything and besides, there is no way I'd let you in that water without me by your side."

Sarah couldn't stop the warm fuzzy feeling she got when ever Chuck talked like that. She knew that Chuck would always be by her side and it really made her feel safe and secure.

They both stood removed all their clothing except for their swim suits. A couple of the crewmen were watching as they got ready.

"Damn, that is one hot looking woman. I'd love to be a pirate and have her be the damsel in distress."

The other crewmen looked over and responded. "She sure is but who the hell would want to mess with her if you had to deal with her huge ass boyfriend? I don't think we have enough guys on the boat to take him out. I wouldn't want to try, I can tell you that."

"Yeah, you're probably right but I can still look and daydream because that she definitely is a beauty."

The cage was hoisted over the side of the boat and lowered down so that the top of the cage was just below the deck level. One of the crewmen climbed out onto the cage and opened a large door into the top of the cage. Chuck walked out and lowered himself into the cage and then reached up and helped Sarah in. Once they were in, the crewmen closed the hatch and stepped back onto the boat.

The cage was lowered until three quarters of it was under water. Chuck and Sarah pulled their masks down and went under the water. They could see several sharks swimming off in the distance but there were none that were close. They came out of the water and told the crewmen that there were not sharks that were coming in close. Several of the crewmen grabbed the buckets of chum and started dumping them into the water.

"That should take care of that problem." one of them said.

Chuck and Sarah went back under the water and sure enough, there were several large sharks that were swimming close to the cage.

Chuck had to admit that it was quite a rush knowing that there were a couple of steel bars separating them from sharks that could kill them in an instant.

Sarah had spent most of her life dealing with danger and for the most part she enjoyed the adrenaline rush that came from being on dangerous missions. This was different for her, she chose to be here and she had the man she loved standing right beside her. It was still a rush being in the water with sharks only inches away but having Chuck beside her gave her a calming affect that she had never felt before. Maybe knowing that person would put their life on the line to save you was what gave her that feeling. She had always been the one to save the other person at all cost and never once did she ever have someone that would die to protect her. That is until she met Chuck and her life has never been the same since that first day in the Buy More.

Sarah reached over and grabbed Chuck's hand. It gave her butterflies in her stomach when she felt him give her hand a squeeze and refused to let it go.

They stayed in the water for about a half hour more and were amazed at all the sharks that came up to the cage. Chuck was really excited when a hammerhead shark came up to the cage. It was by far the largest shark they had seen and had actually bumped the cage while swimming by.

Chuck and Sarah had decided that they were ready to get out and Chuck gave one of the crewmen a wave to let them know that they were ready to come out. The cage was lifted to the bottom of the deck and both Chuck and Sarah climbed out and back onto the boat.

Captain Thomas came up to the two of them as they were drying off. "Well, how was it?"

Sarah spoke first. "That was amazing. They look so graceful swimming through the water. It makes you forget that they would kill you if they had the chance."

Chuck spoke up. "I have to agree with my girlfriend, that was amazing and I just want to thank all of you for the opportunity to come out here and do this today. I especially want to thank my very beautiful girlfriend for planning this day because it really was one of the most exciting days I've ever had and I've really enjoyed being able to experience it with her by my side."

Sarah turned towards Chuck and couldn't stop the few tears that fell from her eyes. "I don't know how you do it but you always know the perfect thing to say."

"It's easy when you have the perfect girlfriend." Chuck reached up and wiped the tears from Sarah's face. He pulled her into a tight embrace and they stayed that way while the boat headed back to the mainland.

There was no lovemaking in the cottage that night. Once they had cleaned up and got a bite to eat, they were both exhausted and ready for bed.

As they lay in bed Chuck spoke to Sarah who was in her usual spot on his chest. "I really do want to thank you Sarah. Between the dolphins and the sharks, I had a great time and I don't think I'll ever forget it."

"You don't need to thank me Chuck, I did it for the both of us."

"Honestly, if it wasn't for you, I never would've done those things today, especially swimming with the sharks. Don't get me wrong, I was scared shitless but also excited at the same time and that's what made it so awesome."

Sarah pulled herself even tighter against Chuck. "Well, I'm really glad you had fun and I hope you'll have just as much fun with what I have planned for tomorrow."

Chuck's eyes shot open, crap he thought to himself. He had completely forgotten that Sarah had made plans for two days. God only knew what she had planned and he knew that he would be wasting his breath trying to get her to tell him what it was. He knew that he just needed to get a good night sleep because something told him that he would need all his strength for what ever it was that Sarah had dreamed up.

Chuck and Sarah woke up pretty much the same way they did the day before. The only difference was Sarah woke up feeling quite aroused. She knew it was because they never made love the night before and she wasn't prepared to wait until the end of the day to have Chuck make love to her. She only had one problem though, they didn't have much time before they needed to be at the location for what she had planned. Sarah came up with an idea. They had made love in the shower the day before and there was no reason it wouldn't work today. She made sure that she rubbed Chuck's manhood through the sheet until it was rock hard. She stopped rubbing and got out of bed. She turned and looked Chuck dead in the eye.

"Chuck, as you can see, I'm pretty horny this morning but we don't have a lot of time before we need to leave so I suggest you get that fine ass of yours out of bed and come and make love to me while we take our shower. We'll kill two birds at once."

Chuck came flying out of bed and ran past her. "Your wish is my command."

She couldn't stop smiling as she watched Chuck's naked body go running past her. "God I love that man," she thought as she followed him into the bathroom.

After a longer then expected shower they both went to get dressed and again Chuck just stood around naked. Sarah looked over and knew what he was doing again. "Swim trunks and a tank top Chuck and you won't need anything else."

They made it into the hotel and grabbed a quick bite for breakfast and then walked out front to catch a taxi.

This time when the driver asked where they wanted to go, Sarah didn't whisper their destination. She told him the name of a beach and they were off. She knew that Chuck would have no idea what would be waiting for them at the beach so she didn't need to hide where they were going.

The ride wasn't very long before the taxi pulled up to the location Sarah had asked for. Chuck had a puzzled look on his face as he got out of the taxi.

"Sarah, couldn't we have stayed at our hotel and just enjoyed our beach in front of the cottage?"

"If I just wanted the beach, then yeah but I have other plans for us and they didn't offer what it is I wanted to do at our hotel."

"And what might that be?"

She smiled at him and grabbed his hand as she walked towards the beach. "You'll find out shortly."

They walked down to the beach and Sarah located what she was looking for. Off to the left was a mid size boat that was sitting beside a small pier. As they approached the boat Chuck noticed a large bracket attached to the rear of the boat. I hope this isn't water skiing he thought because he knew that he had zero coordination when it came to that.

As they walked onto the small pier, they noticed a very tan gentleman lying on the end of the pier. He looked up as he heard them approach. "Are you Sarah Walker?"

"That would be me," Sarah responded.

"Well good, my name is Mike and I'll get you guys airborne in just a few minutes."

Chuck's grip on Sarah's hand tightened considerably after hearing what mike had just said. He turned towards Sarah. "Exactly what does in the sky mean Sarah?"

Sarah turned and cupped Chuck's face with one hand and placed the other hand on his chest. "Don't freak out but we're going parasailing. I'll be right beside you so we'll be doing it together."

Chuck looked at the boat and then back at Sarah. "The thought of being towed 300 feet off the ground behind a speed boat is not something I would normally do but knowing you'll be by my side the whole time makes it bearable."

"I've never been parasailing before either so it'll be the first time for the both of us and believe it or not, it'll make feel feel better knowing you'll be right there with me."

Mike walked up to the both of them. "Don't worry guys, I've had hundreds of couples go up for their first time and they all ended up having the time of their lives."

Mike led Chuck and Sarah over to a box over by the boat where there were several harnesses. They both tried on different ones until they found a pair that fit them comfortably. Mike helped them get the harnesses on correctly and then walked them over to where he would attach them to the parasail.

Mike told them that he would launch them off the back of the boat and when it was over, he would try to get them to land on the beach. Hopefully it would be on the beach and not in the water.

Once they were out in the water, Mike and another crewman got them hooked up to the parasail. Mike gave the boat more power and the sail opened up. He pressed a button and a winch that was hooked to the sail started let more and more line out until Chuck and Sarah felt themselves start to lift out of the boat. It wasn't very long before they were floating several hundred feet above the water.

Chuck had to admit that the view was spectacular and the feeling of the air rushing by was exhilarating. Again, Sarah had picked something that he never would have done on his own but now that he had tried it, he actually liked it.

Sarah looked over and was overjoyed at what she saw. Chuck had a huge grin on his face and he really looked like he was enjoying himself. She had never parasailed before but she had skydived many times and so she had experienced the feeling of floating in a parachute before. Being here with Chuck made it feel different though and she knew that it was just another way that Chuck had made her feel like an ordinary person and not a top secret agent.

Chuck reached over and grabbed Sarah's hand. "I'm really glad you picked this Sarah because I'm really enjoying myself. The view is spectacular and I don't just mean the view of the island."

Sarah squeezed Chuck's hand after listening to his comment. "I'm so glad your enjoying yourself and I do have to agree with you. The view is definitely spectacular."

Chuck looked over to see that Sarah was staring directly at him. She gave him a wink and a sly smile. He felt the slight blush take over his face. He could be eighty years old and she still could affect him with a wink and a smile.

It was twenty minutes later when they slowly started to float down towards the beach. Their landing was without any major mishaps and there were several people that came up and helped them get out of the harnesses.

They had walked back to the pier and Chuck looked around to see what was next. "Ok sweetie, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?"

"I was thinking of getting lunch and then we'll get to what I have planned for the afternoon."

"I am getting hungry, so lunch is sounding pretty good right now."

There were several places along the beach to eat and they just picked the first one they came to. They both were starving which made the food taste even better then it probably was. After they finished Sarah grabbed Chuck's hand.

"Are you ready for our next adventure?"

"I'm pretty sure that I'm ready for whatever you have planned for the afternoon."

"Well actually, I think you'll really enjoy this afternoon because it's something you may have done before."

They walked a ways down the beach until they came to a building which had a sign that advertised jet ski rentals.

Sarah turned and pulled Chuck towards the door. "I hope your up for some jet skiing because that is the plan for the afternoon."

Chuck was like a little kid after hearing Sarah. "Are we really jet skiing? I've wanted to do this for years but never got around to doing it."

"I've rented a pair of the jet skis for the afternoon, so I hope you're ready for some fun."

Chuck gave Sarah a huge hug and planted a kiss on the side of her cheek. "Thank you for doing this Sarah and yes, I'm more then ready for an afternoon of jet skiing."

They were giving the keys to two jet skis and told that the only rule they had was that Chuck and Sarah had to wear life preservers while they were on the jet skis.

They took them out and had a blast. It took Chuck about fifteen minutes before he felt comfortable enough to go full throttle and start trying some tricks. Sarah showed him how to hit the waves and make the jet ski fly into the air and couple other tricks that Chuck had no problem trying.

They rode into the late afternoon and towards the end of the day they decided that they would turn in Sarah's jet ski so she could ride with Chuck. They both enjoyed being so close to each other and rode together until it was time to go.

On the ride back to their hotel, Sarah laid her head on Chuck's shoulder. "I hope you had a good time today."

"Sarah, the past two days have been fantastic, I never would have done any of it if it hadn't been for you. I really enjoyed having you holding on to me on the jet skis and it makes me want to buy a motorcycle when we get back just so I can have you hang on to me again."

"You know, that's not a bad idea Chuck. We could plan some day trips and ride up the coast."

"I guess we have something to look forward to when we get back home."

The rest of the cab ride went by in silence as they both just enjoyed the view and each others company. They had a great supper and then just sat on their front deck and watched the sunset and the waves crash onto the beach. They only had a day and a half left of the vacation and they had both decided to use the remaining time to relax and do nothing.

Chuck's plans for tomorrow night were already in place. He just had to keep his cool and not let Sarah know what it was he had planned. He was getting a little nervous thinking about it but knew it was absolutely what he wanted more then anything in the world. He only hoped that Sarah felt the same and knew that he would have the answer to that question soon enough.

The next day, both Chuck and Sarah had decided that they wanted to relax on their last full day on the island. They had pretty much done some kind of activity every day they had been here and figured that a good relaxing day together would be a fitting end to an otherwise fantastic vacation. The two of them slept in and when they finally pulled themselves from the bed it was only because they were both starving.

By the time they had showered and dressed, it was time for lunch. They walked over to the hotel and had their lunch. Once they were finished, they both went back to their cottage and changed into their swimwear. They grabbed a blanket and walked down to the beach. Today, there would be no sharks, tree climbing and spear throwing or even swimming with the dolphins. Today would be spent just lying around relaxing and soaking up a little sun. They had ventured off the blanket several times when they needed a break from the sun and needed to cool down by going for a swim in the water but that was the extent of their activities for the remainder of the day.

Chuck had talked to their concierge Kimo a couple of days ago and had set everything up for this evening. He just had to keep Sarah in the cottage at a predetermined time and then bring her out and surprise her.

Evening arrived and everything had worked out perfect. Chuck had told Sarah to dress nicely because he was taking her out to dinner for their last night.

"Chuck we don't need to go out tonight, I'd be just as happy to go get something and bring it back here to eat."

Chuck walked up and wrapped his arms around Sarah. "I know sweetie but I wanted our last night of our vacation to be special."

"Everyday we're together is special to me Chuck. I love you and just being together makes me happy."

"I love you too Sarah and there is nothing that makes me happier then being with you but I've had this night planned for a while and I'm hoping that it'll be a night you'll never forget."

Sarah tightened her arms around Chuck. She was thinking of what Chuck had just said about never forgetting about dinner tonight. She knew that she would never forget this vacation. It was the best vacation she had ever been on and she knew that it was all because of Chuck. There was just something about him. Hell, he could make grocery shopping fun and usually did. This truly was a vacation that she would remember for the rest of her life.

They were still hugging each other when there was a knock at the door. Chuck walked over and smiled when he saw that it was Kimo.

"Mr. Bartowski, dinner is ready when ever you are."

Chuck turned around and held out his arm to Sarah. "Are you ready Ms. Walker?"

Sarah wondered why Kimo came to their cottage but was soon distracted by Chuck's question and the huge smile he had on his face. "As long as I'm with you, I'm ready for anything."

Just before they walked out the door, Chuck spoke to her. "I really hope you like this Sarah."

"I'm sure I….."

Sarah never finished her statement as they walked out the door and was speechless at what she saw.

There several wait staff standing on each side of a table that was set up in the sand. There were several tiki poles that were set around the table. The fire from them lit up the beach and sparkled off the water. As they approached the table Sarah could see that there were rose petals spread all around the table and on the table was vase containing Gardenias. As they neared the table Chuck leaned over and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. He reached out and pulled out her chair for her.

After they were both seated Sarah looked over at Chuck. "I would really like to know one thing Chuck."

"What would that be Sarah?"

"What planet are you from? Because I know that there couldn't be anyone on this planet that could be as caring and as thoughtful as you are."

"It's pretty easy when you have the most beautiful, caring and thoughtful girlfriend in the world."

Sarah couldn't stop her eyes from watering up. Chuck was just an amazing man and he always found ways to make her feel special and loved.

One of the waiters came up and handed them their menus. After several minutes they had both gave him their orders and decided to stroll down to the water while waiting for their meals to arrive.

"I wish we could stay here forever Chuck. I've had the best time of my life being here with you the past two weeks and I hate to see it end."

Chuck grabbed Sarah's hand as they walked down the beach. "I know what you mean Sarah, this is the happiest I can ever remember being and you're the only reason for that."

They walked a little further until they were just beyond were the light from the tiki poles went.

Chuck stopped them and turned towards Sarah. He was as nervous as he had ever been in his life but this was something that he wanted from the first day he met Sarah. He took her hands in his and looked down at her.

"Sarah, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I've decided that I don't want to have a girlfriend any longer."

Before Sarah could process what Chuck had just said, she watched as he dropped down to one knee.

"Sarah, like I just said, I don't want a girlfriend any longer. I would like to have a wife instead. I fell in love with you the first day we met and my love has grown for you everyday since. When you left, you actually helped me become a better person who learned to push himself and it allowed me to make changes to myself that gave me confidence that I never had before. Once you returned I knew that instant that I couldn't go the rest of my life without you in it and that's why I was wondering if you would do me the honor of marrying me?" Chuck produced a blue velvet box that he opened and inside Sarah saw a beautiful diamond ring that Chuck was hoping to put on Sarah's' finger.

Sarah had both hands to her mouth and tears were flowing none stop from her eyes. She looked at Chuck and then back at the ring and then back to Chuck. She dropped down to her knees in front of Chuck and reached out and grabbed his face.

"Yes Chuck, I would love to marry you. I've been in love with you from the first day we met and my life has never been the same since. You have made me a better person just by being you and I'm so sorry for leaving you. That was the biggest mistake I've ever made and I just thank god that you took me back or else I would have lost the chance to become Mrs. Sarah Bartowski."

Chuck pulled the ring from the box and grabbed Sarah's hand. He slowly slid the ring onto her ring finger and watched as Sarah's face broke out into huge smile. He reached out and pulled her close. He leaned in and kissed her with all the passion he could put into the kiss. She responded with the same amount of passion and both of them were lost for several minutes until they remembered that they were still on the beach in front of the wait staff.

They stood up and started to walk back towards the table. Sarah had her arm through Chuck's and as they walked back to the table she couldn't stop from grinning. "I'm really glad you decided that you didn't want a girlfriend any longer because I'm going to enjoy being a fiancée instead."

"As good as that sounds, I'm waiting for the day when I can call you my wife. That will the day when a nerd's dream comes true and I get to marry the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Chuck that will be the day when both of our dreams come true. I never thought about getting married when I was growing up but now, there's nothing in this world that I want more then becoming your wife."

They finally made it back to their table just as their food arrived. Sarah had a hard time eating because she could never take her eyes off her finger that held the most beautiful engagement ring she had ever seen.

Chuck reached out and grabbed Sarah's. "You should eat Sarah, the ring isn't going anywhere."

Sarah looked up at Chuck's face. "I'm just afraid this will turn out to be a dream and I'll wake up and all this will be gone."

Chuck gave Sarah's hand a squeeze. "This isn't a dream Sarah, this is as real as it gets. When you wake up in the morning, you'll still have that ring on your finger. The only time that ring will come off your finger is if you take it off."

"Other then missions Chuck, this ring will never come off my finger and I do mean never. Oh and if this did turn out to be a dream and I woke up and found out that none of this was real. Someone would have a really bad day."

"Trust me sweetheart, it's as real as it can get and I will make sure that you never regret saying yes to me."

The rest of the evening flew by and before either knew it, the dinner was done and they were inside their cottage lying beside each other on the bed.

Sarah looked into Chuck's eyes and could see the love he had for her. "Chuck could you do something for me?"

"Anything Sarah, you just name it."

"I want you to make love to me for the first time as my fiancé and not my boyfriend."

Chuck pulled her close to him and whispered in her ear. "I would love to make love to you as my fiancée and honestly, the only thing that will top that is when you become my wife."

Hearing Chuck talk about her becoming his wife made Sarah realize that her life was going to be changing and things were never going to be the same again. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. All the changes would be definitely different but it would all be worth it because she had found the man of her dreams and now she would be marrying him in the near future.

When they made love that night it wasn't filled with lust or need. It was completely filled with the love that they felt for each other. They realized that they were actually making love on this night and it was never about how they were performing. This time was filled with emotions that caused each of them to fall deeper in love with each other then they had ever been before. It amazed both of them that the physical part of it had no bearing on what they felt. It was pure love that gave them the satisfaction that came from the love making and it was something that neither had ever experienced ever before.

After they finished Chuck couldn't contain himself. "That was the most emotional satisfying thing I've ever experienced. I can honestly say that I now know what it feels like to actually make love to a person that I love. Sarah, I'm not even sure what I said even makes sense but I do know that you're the first person I've ever experienced or felt this way with and I just want you to know that I will cherish you for as long as I live."

Sarah couldn't stop the flow of tears from running down her cheeks. Part of them came from the lovemaking and part them came from listening to Chuck. "Chuck, you put that beautifully and I can't find any other words to make it sound any better then what you said. I do know this, we have a love that is so special that I could only hope that other people in the world get to experience even a fraction of what we feel for each other and I want you to know that I will also cherish you for as long as I live."

The rest of the night was spent cuddled up to each other They both had grins on their faces because they were sleeping together for the first time as an engaged couple.

Sarah never in her life thought she would be in the position she was in at this moment. Before she had met Chuck, her life was the C.I.A. And now it was all about her and Chuck. She was going to become a wife in the near future and also gain a husband. She never wanted a life like this before she met Chuck but now she couldn't imagine her life the way it used to be.

Chuck lay beside Sarah and held her tight. He always thought that Jill had been his one true love and that he would never get another chance to meet and fall in love with anyone again. Once he met Sarah, it turned his world upside down. She was such an amazing woman that he never thought he had a chance to be with her. That never stopped him from falling in love with her though. It still amazed him that Sarah actually fell in love with him and that she agreed to marry him. He would make sure that she never regretted marrying him and would spend the rest of his life making sure Sarah knew how much she was truly cared for and loved.

The next morning was busy getting everything ready for their return back to Burbank. Neither of them wanted to leave, they just had the best vacation either of them had ever had and it was going to be hard to leave and go back to their lives back in Burbank. The one thing both had agreed on was this is where they wanted to come for their honeymoon. In fact they wanted to stay at the same resort and in the same cottage and would make sure they booked it in plenty of time to make sure they got it.

The flight back home was a lot more somber then their previous flight. Both were going to be happy to see Ellie, Devon and Morgan again but they just didn't have that desire to jump right back into work as soon as they got back. They knew general Beckman would probably have something lined up for them and was just waiting for them to return so she could get her best team back in the field.

When the plane finally landed, they knew then that the vacation was over and it was time to get back to reality. They didn't have to like it but they knew they didn't have any other choices for the time being.

When they walked into the terminal they were greeted by the smiling faces of Ellie and Devon.

Ellie's loud screech told them that she had already spotted the ring on Sarah's hand and came running at the two of them. They knew the rest of the afternoon would be spent telling Ellie about the ring and everything they did on their vacation.

They both looked at each other and spoke at the same time. "Welcome home."
