Morgan and Carina walked to their awaiting plane. They were getting ready to go home and they couldn't wait to get home although they didn't want to leave Chuck, Sarah, Casey and the Carmichael kids. They made them promise to keep in touch and they wanted to be the first people to know about their new addition when they came into the world.
"I am so glad they are alive," Morgan said. "I finally have my best friend back."
Casey ran up to Morgan before he could get on the plane. Something had been bugging him ever since Carina and Morgan had showed up married.
"What's up Casey?" Morgan asked.
"Something has been bugging me since you told me you and Carina told me you were married," Casey said. Morgan nodded.
"What happened to Alex? When I left you two were madly in love and I haven't even heard you talk about her," Casey said.
"Casey, Alex died," Morgan said.
"What?" Casey asked his fists clenched.
"I was married to her. I went on an undercover op and she was killed in a car accident," Morgan said sadly.
"YOU LET MY DAUGHTER DIE!" Casey screamed. He lifted his fist and was about to wack Morgan when Chuck grabbed his fist.
"No Casey, no!" Chuck said. "I know you're hurting but attacking Morgan isn't going to help."
"He should have looked after her! She was my only daughter and she's gone!" Casey said angrily. He stormed off and Sarah looked at Morgan and Carina apologetically and then went after Casey.
"I'm sorry about Casey. He has been trying to find out how Alex is going so he's gonna be pretty devastated for a while," Chuck said.
"It's okay. I beat myself up over it for a while. I don't blame him for hating me," Morgan said. Chuck nodded.
"Well good luck buddy and remember you can't blab to Ellie about us being alive," Chuck said.
"I'll keep an eye on him," Carina said with a smile. Chuck gave her a hug.
"Keep in touch buddy," Morgan said as he gave Chuck a hug.
"I will. Cya soon buddy," Chuck said as he waved to Morgan and Carina. They got onto their plane and Morgan and Carina waved to Chuck as they took off. They were on their way home and Morgan wished there had been a better way to tell Casey about Alex.
-CHUCK-
Sarah followed Casey to a place where he always went when he was thinking about Alex. He was standing on a wharf looking out over the sea. Sarah walked up and stood next to him. Casey didn't do or say anything. Sarah knew better then to pry into Casey's life. Just wait and see when he was ready to talk.
"I trusted him with her life," Casey said after 10 minutes of silence.
"I trusted him and he, he left her and she, she died," Casey said.
"I'm sure Morgan didn't mean to let this happen," Sarah said.
"But that doesn't change the fact that it happened," Casey said.
"Casey, are you mad at Morgan or are you mad at yourself?" Sarah asked. "I know you and I know you're mad at the fact that you weren't there to protect her. You're mad that you let Beckman control you and made you leave your daughter," Sarah said. Casey looked at Sarah and she knew she had got it right.
"If I hadn't left then I could have a least been at her wedding I could have walked her down the aisle," Casey said. Sarah sighed.
"Casey I really don't know what to say to make this better for you but I think it is something that you have to work through by yourself. Take some time off work. Maybe go back to Burbank and see where she is now," Sarah said. Casey nodded.
"I'll be back before the new one is born," Casey said. Sarah smiled.
"Casey you don't have to be back in time. This is your daughter we're talking about," Sarah said. "She's your family."
"Walker, you're my family to. As much as I hate saying it, I actually like being part of this family," Casey said. Sarah smiled and gave him a hug.
"Now go, find out the information you need," Sarah said. "And come back happier than ever." Casey nodded and then walked away. Sarah smiled.
"I hope he finds what he needs," Sarah said with a small smile. She was going to miss having him around and she knew that the kids would too.
-CHUCK-
Chuck and Sarah walked into Olivia's hospital room. She was finally being released from hospital. She couldn't wait to get home.
"Ready to go Livi?" Chuck asked. Liv nodded. She was dressed in her trackies and a hoodie. Liv nodded.
"Can we make a stop first?" Liv asked.
"I don't know Liv…you are going to need some rest," Sarah said.
"I just want to go and see the Junior Vixen training," Liv said.
"Tomorrow Liv. Today you're going home to sleep and rest," Chuck said.
"Oh but dad!" Liv said.
"No buts Olivia! Your dad is right. You need to get your strength up if you want to play netball again," Sarah said. Liv sighed. She knew this was a fight she was not going to win. She picked up her bag and followed Chuck and Sarah out to Adam's office. He wanted to see her before she left.
"Hey Olivia. Are you excited to be going home?" Adam asked. Liv nodded.
"Can't wait to leave. I mean I will miss seeing you everyday but I think I am going to love being home," Liv said with a cheeky grin. Adam laughed.
"And I am going to miss having my favourite patient," Adam said.
"Aww! I feel loved!" Liv said with a grin. Sarah and Chuck laughed, Adam just smiled.
"Okay so Liv, getting back to what we are meant to be discussing," Adam said. "You understand that if you do too much then you will burn out quickly. You have to take it easy for a while," Adam said. Liv nodded.
"And netball?" Liv asked.
"Not for at least a month. You will burn out to quick if you go back to quickly. Even after a year you could still get tired quickly after you play. It will take a while to get out of your system," Adam said.
"A year?" Liv asked. Adam nodded. Liv screwed her nose up. She always had heaps of energy and she wasn't going to be happy if she kept getting burnt out.
"I want to keep a close eye on you still so once a week for two months," Adam said. Sarah nodded. "I also want you to take the antibiotics and the vitamins that I have got prescribed for you. Good Luck Liv and I don't want to see you back here for a while."
"Okie dokie!" Liv said with a grin. "Can I leave now? No offence but I don't like hospitals."
"Yes Liv. You can go now," Adam said. Liv smiled. Sarah and Chuck shook Adam's hands and then Liv gave him a hug.
"Thank-you for letting them save me," Liv said. Adam nodded. He was a CIA doctor so he knew some of the things that went on with the CIA.
"You're very welcome. You deserve a full life and if you are going to grow up to be the perfect mix of your mum and your dad then you are going to be one amazing girl," Adam said. Liv smiled.
"Thanks," she said with a smile.
-CHUCK-
Morgan and carina walked towards their apartment. They moved into Chuck and Sarah's place after they 'died'. Ellie saw that they were home and went over to greet them.
"High guys! You're back!" Ellie said as she gave them each a hug.
"Hi Ellie," Carina said.
"How was the holiday?" Ellie asked. Morgan looked at Carina and smiled.
"It was amazing," Morgan said. Ellie didn't know about the fact that they had seen Sarah, Chuck and Casey so she just put it down to a kinky weekend.
"Well its Friday so will you be over for Friday night dinner?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah. We'll just unpack and then be right over," Carina said. Ellie nodded and walked back to their apartment to cook dinner. Devon was with the kids at the park. She was happy to have a full family dinner. It had been over a month since their last family dinner.
-CHUCK-
Morgan sat down on the couch and looked at a photo from Chuck and Sarah's wedding. He and Chuck were standing beside each other smiling. He put the photo down and smiled. He was glad to know his best friend was alive and well.
"How do I pretend that Chuck is still dead?" Morgan asked. Carina looked at Morgan and sat down next to him.
"Well, you act normal and you don't say anything about Chuck that will raise suspicion," Carina said. "You can lie, Morgan," Carina said.
"I haven't lied to Ellie since Chuck died. I don't know if I can lie to her now," Morgan said. Carina kissed him.
"You're going to have to until we know it is safe," Carina said.
"I know but it just doesn't mean that I have to be happy with it," Morgan said. Carina kissed him again. Morgan kissed her back before pulling away.
"I'm going to have a shower before we go to Ellie and Devon's," Morgan said. Carina nodded.
"I'm going to unpack…that is unless you want me to conserve water," Carina said with a grin. Morgan grinned back at his wife and pulled her towards their bathroom. There was nothing wrong in looking after the environment and saving water.
-CHUCK-
Casey walked towards the grave and saw that Alex was buried next to where his, Chuck's and Sarah's graves were. He knelt down and placed the flowers he had brought at his daughter's grave. There was a small card with them and Casey had been careful what he had written. In the end he settled with the simple,
I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALEX.
Casey had come straight to Alex's grave. He knew he had to be careful that no one recognized him but he figured he would be pretty safe for a while. No one was there as it was early in the morning. He had got the flowers the day before and had decided to go early in the morning to avoid confrontation.
He traced the last words on the tomb stone.
Loved daughter, wife and friend,
Reunited with her dad.
Rest in Peace Alex.
