CHUCK vs A New Life Chapter 3, a chuck fanfic

CIA Agent Morgan Grimes was sitting in Castle when there was a knock at the door. Morgan looked up to see his partner Carina standing at the top of the stairs. Morgan gave her a small sad smile. After the 'deaths' of Sarah, Casey and Chuck, Morgan became an official CIA Agent and Carina became his partner. Carina had become a big part of Morgan's life and the lives of Ellie, Devon and their kids Clara, Charles and Sara.

Carina walked down the stairs and sat down in the chair next to Morgan. She placed a hand on his knee. Morgan looked up at Carina and had a tear in his eye. Carina gave him a small smile. She knew how hard this day was for Morgan and the same with Ellie and Devon.

"I use to think that he was coming home. That it was all an undercover operation with which he had to go deep, but this, it's been too long Carina. It's been 12 years and he still hasn't come home. I have to stop hoping don't I?" Morgan asked. "I have to be a man and face the truth. He's never coming back."

"I would love to tell you different and trust me Morgan, I wish this was different. Sarah has been my best friend for years and I would give anything to get her back and as much as I wished it helped, but 12 years ago when we took the people responsible for their deaths, it did nothing to ease the pain of losing her and I honestly think that nothing will ease our pain," Carina said. Morgan nodded sadly.

"We just have to except it and move forward," Morgan said. Carina nodded.

"But never forget them," Carina said. Morgan nodded. Carina stood up and grabbed Morgan's hand and led him up the stairs and into their apartment. They grabbed their coats and walked to where their car was parked. Carina got in the driver's side and Morgan in the passenger side.

Carina slowed to a stop when they reached the cemetery. Carina grabbed the three bunches of flowers they had brought earlier that day and Morgan got out of the car and walked with Carina to the three gravestones that had already been visited today as there were two other bunches of flowers at each grave.

Morgan walked to the grave in the middle and knelt down and traced the name on the grave.

Charles Irving Bartowski.

He looked at the flowers in front of his grave already. He looked at one of the cars.

Dear Chuck, it has been 12 years since the day we lost you and the pain is still there no matter what is said or done. We keep your memory alive and never let a day go by where we don't let Clara, Charles and Sarah know about the amazing people who are family to them.

Chuck, we will never forget you!

Love from Ellie and Devon.

xoxo

Morgan sighed. Ellie was the person that was hit the hardest. Chuck was her baby brother and she had promised her dad she would look after him. She was right when she said a day never went by without a story about Chuck, Sarah and Casey.

Morgan placed the flowers that Carina had brought amongst the other two bunches. His card was much simpler that Ellie and Devons only saying four words, 'I miss you. Morgan'.

Carina watched as her husband placed the flowers down on the grave of his best friend. She walked over to the grave next to Chucks and let a tear slide as she placed a bunch of flowers amongst the other bunches. One was from Ellie and Devon and the other was from Jeff, Lester and the Buy More team.

Every year was the say. There were five bunches of flowers left on the graves of the fallen agents and colonel. The flowers were always from the same people too. Ellie and Devon, Carina and Morgan, the Buy More team, Clara, Charles and Sara and the final bunch was always from General Dianne Beckman.

-CHUCK-

Ellie and Devon were sitting with their three kids watching home movies with Ellie and Devon telling them some of the best memories they had with the three fallen family members. The home video they were watching was one where it was Christmas.

Ellie watched silently with a small, sad smile on her face as Chuck tried to help make gingerbread men. Chuck had flour all over his face and clothes as he tried to mix all of the ingredients together. Ellie along with Devon and the kids all laughed when the mixture went flying all over the floor.

"Mummy, was Uncle Chuck really like that? Was he clumsy?" Charles asked. Ellie nodded.

"He use to get spooked really easily when he was younger but he grew out of it in the last few years before he died," Ellie said.

"Just like you Charlie Boy!" Clara said with a laugh. Ellie smiled. Charles was a lot like Chuck. He even had the curly hair like Chuck did. Ellie loved all her kids but every time she looked at Charles or Charlie, he reminded her so much of her baby brother.

"Mummy, tell us another story," Sara asked. Ellie looked at Devon for some help.

"Tell them about the rehearsal dinner," Devon suggested. Ellie nodded.

"Well Uncle Chuck was going to marry Aunt Sarah so they had the rehearsal dinner before the wedding," Ellie said.

"Like Uncle Morgan and Aunt Carina?" Charles asked. Ellie nodded.

"Exactly like Uncle Morgan and Aunt Carina. Well while they were at the rehearsal dinner Sarah got really, really sick because of a bad woman trying to hurt Chuck," Ellie said. "Your dad and I got Ellie to the hospital but she wasn't getting any better so Chuck left with Uncle Casey to go and find the bad woman and find out what she had done to Sarah," Ellie said.

"Really? Did Uncle Chuck save Aunt Sarah?" Clara asked. Ellie nodded.

"He and Uncle Casey fought off the bad woman and got some medicine to make Aunt Sarah better. They came to the hospital and after giving her the medicine Uncle Chuck would not leave Aunt Sarah's bed side and stayed there till she got better," Ellie said.

"And they got married and lived happily ever after?" Sara asked. Ellie nodded.

"Yep, they got married and Chuck became one of the happiest people I know," Ellie said. Her three kids smiled. They loved hearing stories about Chuck, Sarah and Casey and they loved the stories that Carina and Morgan would tell them about Agent Carmichael, Agent Walker and Colonel John Casey.

-CHUCK-

Ellie, Devon and the kids walked to the cemetery to place flowers on their graves. Each of their kids held their own bunch of flowers. Clara was to put hers on Casey's, Charles was to put his on Chuck's and Sara was to put hers on Sarah's. They did this every year and it pained Devon to see how his kids would say they missed them and it pained him to see how Ellie would always break down in tears over her lost baby brother.

Clara walked towards Casey's grave. She knelt down and placed the flowers down on his grave.

"I miss you Uncle Casey. I see your picture everyday and I wish I had got to know you better. You sounded like a hero and I wish that I could have been part of your life," Clara said. She stood up and walked back over to her parents. Charles went next.

"Uncle Chuck, you sound really fun and I wish I could have met you. Uncle Morgan has told me heaps of your spy stories and Mum and Dad have told me lots of other stories. I miss you. I love you Uncle Chuck. Rest in Peace," Charles said simply. Sara was the next on to go and she walked to Sarah's grave.

"Aunt Sarah, I miss you a lot. I know I don't know you but I wish I did. I love you," Sara said. Devon picked his little girl up and let Ellie go and place her flowers down on Chuck's grave. She placed the others down on their graves but went back to Chuck's. She placed a hand on his grave.

"I miss you baby brother," Ellie said simply before letting a tear slide down her cheek. This year she would not cry like she had last year. This year she would not break down. Devon was proud of his wife and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you Chuck," Devon said quietly.

-CHUCK-

Ellie, Devon, Charles, Sara, Morgan and Carina sat down in the seats they had been allocated. They were at Clara's singing concert. Clara was one of the youngest solo singers and she loved it. Ellie and Devon were so proud of Clara and always supported her at her concerts.

"Welcome to the Burbank Stars Singing Concert of 2011. These kids have worked exceptionally hard and I am very proud of what they have achieved. So please welcome our first singer to the stage, Clara Woodcomb." Clara walked out on stage with a smile on her face.

"This song is dedicated to some very important people in my life. They are no longer here with me but they will always be in my heart. This is for you Uncle Chuck, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Casey," Clara said. Ellie had a tear in her eye. Her daughter was singing for Chuck, Sarah and Casey.

"Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me"

When Clara finished singing the crowd went wild. It was a beautiful song and Ellie had tears in her eyes. It meant a lot to her that her daughter would sing for their fallen family.

After the concert Ellie was the first to congratulate her daughter and gave her a massive hug.

"I wanted to remember them somehow and by singing that song, I did. I hope they would have liked it," Clara said with a smile.

"Sweetie," Ellie said with her own smile. "They would have loved it!"
