A/N: Well here it is. Really this chapter was one of the inspirations for starting this story. I actually tried re-watching vs. The Mask just to get some inspiration and I just couldn't do it. I mean I know everything turns out for the best but it was still to painful. I hope everyone enjoys my version of how it should have been. By the way, there are a lot of subtleties throughout this chapter so for those that like looking for that type of stuff, I think you will enjoy.
I also wanted to thank all the reviews and pm's. For someone that loves to write, you would think I could respond more. For whatever reason, I'm really bad about that. All I can do is guarantee each of you that I read and take everyone of those reviews to heart, whether good or bad. They truly are what keeps me motivated to write.
A big thanks to Gladius as always as now he's pulling triple duty for me. Not sure how the man sleeps.
I don't own Chuck or anything else in this chapter.
Chapter 28 – The Redo
Chuck and Sarah were entering the museum now as Casey and a somewhat groggy Sheryl Walken sat in the van running surveillance.
"My God, Casey." Sheryl had a look of disgust as she watched the video feed, through her swollen eyes. They're supposed to act like a happily married couple not some lovesick teenagers at prom night."
Casey just grunted, after all, this was now normal Chuck and Sarah. It kind of grows on you after a while, he thought to himself.
. . .
"Damn it Chuck, how am I supposed to stay on task when you look like you do right now." Sarah was tugging at his arm as she was placing very sensuous kisses on his neck. Chuck was wearing a dark black suit with white shirt and tie. Sure it was normal attire for most spies but Sarah was really turned on by how well he filled it out.
"As if you have room to talk." Chuck was staring right down Sarah's dress to her soft, tender, cleavage that was very exposed.
Sarah was wearing something very similar to what she wore the night Chuck said red was not his favorite color. That one was damaged from the explosion, but when she finally found out the truth about how much Chuck loved that dress, she made sure to design her own version of what she thought Chuck might love. It's actually going to be a part of the formal collection for Charina fashions to be released in the fall. It was definitely getting Chuck's approval. Of course she was playing it to the hilt, especially since Chuck had to go off and look simply amazing.
Chuck looked out over the crowd of people. "Okay, let's see what we can find out - time to mingle." Chuck gave her a kiss and they both separated to see what they could find.
. . .
Chuck was trying to talk to as many people as he could, seeing if anything would cause him to flash. He was hoping to find the Ring Agents quickly and get as much intel as he could in as short amount of time possible. It had only been a few minutes when he caught a glimpse of Sarah. She of course was the center of attention to three or four guys practically drooling over her. She was laughing and really playing the part. It was then something inside Chuck; something he hadn't felt in quite a while came to the surface. He quickly turned away before Sarah could see him.
Chuck walked around the corner and just leaned up against the wall. He stared upward trying to get a little bit of control. He could not let this happen to him. Their relationship had come too far to ever question their dedication and loyalty to each other. Still, seeing Sarah so natural around those men..."
"No, Chuck. You're not doing this." Sarah somehow found him within moments and was already right up on him. "Casey cut the mics for five."
Chuck looked down at Sarah, giving her his best everything's good expression. "Sarah, it's okay, I'm all good." He couldn't figure out how in the world she found him so fast. He swore she never saw him.
Sarah tilted her head to one side as she reached her hand up to him. "Chuck, I know your all goods, and that was not one of them."
Chuck was doing his best to just shrug it off. After all, it was completely ridiculous. "Seriously Sarah, I'm just being stupid that's all. I just have to learn to deal with it."
Sarah gently grabbed his face. "No Chuck, you don't have to learn to deal with it do you understand me? I'm going to be your wife for God's sake, you have every right to expect me to act a certain way and something as stupid as this job does not give me a free pass. I'm sorry baby, I shouldn't have been acting like that, it's not how your future wife should act." Sarah placed her head against his chest as he held her close.
'Oh my gosh,' Chuck thought to himself. He could not feel any more foolish then he did right now. "Thank you. Just sometimes I still can't believe a girl like..." He never finished as Sarah grabbed his head pulling him down to her as her mouth crashed against his. Obvious Sarah had found a better use for his tongue at the moment.
After a very heated make-out session and a few stares from the gathering crowd, Sarah broke the kiss making sure Chuck was looking into her eyes. "Chuck Bartowski, I don't ever want to hear that ridiculous statement ever again. We're beyond such stupidity now. I mean seriously Chuck, you still question my desire for you?"
Chuck was shaking his head. "Well, no but a guy like me just needs, you know, reassurance sometimes."
"Reassurance? You mean you want to make sure everyone knows that I'm head over heels, can't live without eternally committed to you?" Sarah was staring at him.
Chuck tried to smile, "Well yes, that does help."
"So, me practically molesting you out there when we first got in wasn't enough? What happened to your aversion to PDA? Cause Chuck, I will tell you right now, I will do anything, and I mean anything to show everyone what my commitment is to you." Sarah was not playing around. She saw the look in Chuck's eye when he saw her working the crowd. She could care less about the mission, and she swore that look would never be allowed back and short of stripping down and making love to Chuck right in the middle of the room, she would do anything. Of course, now that she thought about it, there could be a way around the stripping down part. She would just have to take off her satin underwear...
"Sarah I know that look and don't you dare even think about it." Chuck swallowed deeply as he knew he had awakened the beast. "We need to stay on task here and find those Ring agents and then figure out a way to get the Mask without being noticed."
Sarah had a plan as she brought com's back up. "Casey, Chuck and I are going to provide a distraction, I need you to sneak in here and place the gear in the south stairwell." Sarah turned to Chuck. "Do you trust me?"
Chuck was surprisingly very nervous right now. "Well yes, of course." Sarah had that look that Chuck knew it was time to obey.
"Come on." Sarah was dragging Chuck to the main showroom floor where there were people already dancing to the Latin beats playing through the dance hall. The music just so happened to be some random salsa number and the patrons were already having a blast with their own versions of the number.
"Sarah, seriously; what about the whole, I'm going to start acting like a wife and mother thing?"
Sarah never said a word as she turned around, holding both of Chuck's hands. She slowly started grinding her butt right into his groin as she forced his hands to roam seductively over her body spending an unusual amount of time near her breasts.
Chuck could not believe this was actually happening. Last time he saw Sarah dancing like this was with Bryce on that one mission to retrieve the Fulcrum device. Chuck was trying to stay in character but the music just seemed to take over. "Sarah for heaven's sake people are staring." Chuck was trying to break free but Sarah was continuing to seductively grind against his now growing manhood.
Sarah was well aware of her surroundings as even though it seemed as if she was not paying attention, her senses were alert to everything around them. She could tell this would provide the distraction needed for Casey to bring in the gear. She also knew this was... Wait a minute, what was she thinking again?
"Fine. Two can play at this game." Chuck was never someone to try to one up another person, that was unless he was playing Call of Duty or Halo. But remembering that dance between Sarah and Bryce, and how she still was able to stay in spy-mode the entire time. It was time to see how she could handle it with her fiancé' taking over. Chuck wouldn't need the Intersect for this. Little did Sarah, or anyone for that matter, know that after the debacle with Devon teaching him to dance, Chuck took it upon himself to learn dance moves. Of course most learning involved Wii Dance Party USA, but he did practice other dance styles quite a bit when he was alone.
Yeah, he didn't need the Intersect for what he was about to do next. Chuck just smirked as he twisted Sarah around, and pulled her body to him lifting her right leg so it securely fastened around him. His left hand slid softly down the side of her face as he put all his desire in the moves he was now displaying. He could tell this caught Sarah completely by surprise as she was in a much more sensitive position with her lower region sliding up and down on Chuck's groin.
Sarah closed her eyes as she couldn't help but feel the pleasure of Chuck against her. She couldn't lose focus but oh my God did he feel so good against her, and his dancing... Sarah could not believe how in sync they both were as the dance, the music, their love; it all took over them at this moment. The world was shut out as her only desire was to please her fiancé' and herself while she was at it.
What happened next Chuck could only describe as making love on the dance floor. Their bodies never were apart except for the brief moments Chuck would spin her and dip her. Sarah started making some very strange noises as he now had her leg over his shoulder, dragging her across the dance floor. It took all his strength not to taste of her tender, silky, white leg as it was mere inches from his mouth. Chuck could see something primal in the way Sarah was reacting; it was something he had definitely never seen in her around anyone else. 'Yeah, he did this.' Chuck mused to himself, confident in his own... Uh that was sort of inappropriate Chuck thought as Sarah seemed to turn the tables on him.
Casey just smiled as he covertly passed by the main hall right into the stairwell. Not one person even noticed him. All eyes were glued to the couple on the dance floor. Once he was done and back in the van, Casey called back in. "Bartowski, unless the both of you want to give everyone a heart attack, I suggest you either find a supply closet, or hold off pulling a J-lo on the dance floor."
Obvious the voice of reason now rang through both their ears as Chuck really had to give Casey credit for the J-lo comment. He was really rubbing off... Oh maybe not best use of words.
Sarah finally came back out of her sexually induced dream state to the stares of the crowd around them. Sarah always had the ability to discern what people were thinking just by looking at them. What she saw was not disgust on their faces; it wasn't embarrassment or even some sick type of voyeurism. She could tell by the looks of those around her and Chuck that maybe for once in their lives, they were witness to what true love and passion is with two people. She couldn't tell for certain, but the looks in their eyes spoke volumes and she couldn't be happier. Knowing that even though sexual in nature, the dance was way more than that and she wanted... no she needed Chuck to know what he just did to her. "Come on Chuck." Sarah grabbed his hand and led him through the back door to the stairwell.
Luckily, no one from the exhibit dared question why they would be going through a private door. It was obvious what those two love birds were going to do.
. . .
Sarah and Chuck were finishing changing into their mission gear. The little distraction on the dance floor actually turned out to be a brilliant strategy as it allowed Casey to stow their gear and allowed them a way to leave without being questioned. Sarah was pulling on the harness as she looked over to Chuck who was already strapped in.
"Honey, sorry about the suit pants. We can wash them out when we get back to the apartment." She smiled as she saw the blush work its way up Chuck's neck. She could still smell him from his 'accident' he had earlier the moment they left the show room floor. "By the way, I love that smell on you? Is that a new cologne you're wearing?"
Chuck just gave her a dirty look. "Yeah, I heard it's your favorite."
"Oh just keep it up Bartowski." Sarah paused as she looked at Chuck. It was moments later they both started laughing.
Chuck walked over to her as he tested her harness to make sure she was secure. "I really want to marry you, you know that." He gave her a quick kiss.
"And guess what? I really want to marry you." Sarah in turn checked his gear to make sure he was good to go.
"What about setting a date? We still need to do that you know." Chuck made sure the pulley system was in place with the rope fed securely through it as he once again gave a tug on Sarah's harness.
Sarah looked serious for a moment. "Honestly Chuck, the sooner the better for me. I just want to be your wife."
"I tell you what, let's get this mask, get this mission over with, and you and me come up with a..." There was a cough on the other end of the mics.
"Sorry, you, me, and Casey come up with a wedding date." A satisfied grunt was heard as Chuck began lowering Sarah down to retrieve the mask.
Chuck couldn't help but stare as Sarah was being lowered down, mission impossible style. "Damn you have a nice ass."
Sarah turned slightly. "You better say that when I'm nine months pregnant agent Bartowski."
"Trust me babe. It ain't your ass I'll be looking at when you're that pregnant."
Sarah just shook her head. She was actually surprised Chuck even remembered what her eye color was. Seemed like recently he never made it up that far. God forbid what it will be like when her assets have grown a few. She was about to say something when the rope gave a bit. She looked up and realized they were in trouble.
Chuck turned just as the three armed men came crashing into the room. He instantly flashed realizing they had just found the ring agents.
"Put your hands up punk." Said the Agent closest to Chuck.
Chuck really didn't even think about what to do next. His girl was hanging on the other end of that rope, and he was not about to let go. Even so, this was going to get interesting as the space in their room was not very big. "Sorry boys, not going to be able to comply with that command."
The men each had their weapons drawn as they approached Chuck.
One of the guards looked down through the whole where Sarah was trying her best to crawl back up. "Oh damn, were going to have some fun with that one."
"Wrong thing to say bub." Chuck instantly flashed as he jammed his elbow into the jaw of the man who just made the comment about Sarah. He heard a sickening crack as the man's jaw shattered knocking him out. Chuck then kicked out with his right leg as the other men tried to cut the rope Chuck was holding. His foot connected with the face of one of the other Agents knocking the man backwards into the wall.
Chuck quickly jumped over the hole, wrapping the rope around the unconscious man lying nearby. A shot rang out as the lone remaining man took aim and fired. Luckily Chuck sensed this as he ducked out of the way kicking the unconscious man through the hole. The man with the gun turned once again to Chuck with gun raised.
"You're going to be sorry you..." The man never finished as Sarah's knife plunged through his throat as she was launched back up through the hole as the pulley system used the weight of the other man to lift her up.
Chuck saw her and saw the mask in her hand. "That was close."
Sarah looked around. "Anyone left alive?"
Chuck pointed over to the one man that he had kicked. "Well that one should be, not sure about the one who you passed on the way up. I think he will live, just won't be making rude comments any time soon."
Sarah was just now calming down from the rush of the fight as she turned to Chuck. "My hero."
Chuck just laughed as he secured the mask and started pulling the unconscious man on the other end of the rope up. "Well what can I say? Might want to call Casey for a cleanup crew; looks like he's going to have some fun with the ones still alive."
Sarah looked at the men lying around her. "Ring agents?"
Chuck nodded his head, "Yep. Successful mission wouldn't you say."
Sarah got that look. "Yeah this one came a lot easier than most."
Chuck stopped what he was doing as he gave Sarah the patented eyebrow dance. "You know I was thinking, we really should go out dancing more."
"Our laundry bill might get a bit much though don't you think?" Sarah walked over and gave Chuck a kiss.
"Never going to live that one down am I?" Chuck was holding her close, but also making sure she was okay.
"Nope, never." Sarah gave him the biggest smile as she kissed him right as Casey was coming in through the door.
{* * *}
{Back at Castle}
The mission went off perfectly. Beckman could not congratulate the team enough for their success on retrieving the artifact, identifying and capturing the Ring agents, and without any hiccups. Chuck and Sarah once again proved how valuable relationships can be between Agents.
The briefing concluded and Sarah was holding Chuck's hand with her head leaning against his shoulder. "Chuck let's go home. I'm tired and Ellie is picking me up early tomorrow to do some more wedding stuff." Sarah let out an exhausted breath. She couldn't believe how draining the last few days have been.
Chuck could sense that she was exhausted. "Okay, let's go home and get some rest. I don't have to go in to work till later but I had some things to work on with Carina in the morning anyway."
Sarah kissed his arm. "Make sure to let her know that I'm removing the Red Formal from the fall lineup. Tell her to go ahead with the original line."
Chuck was confused. "But you worked hard on the design. And you looked incredible. Well the dress was nice too."
She nudged his ribs. "Do you really think I want others to wear the same dress that we did what we did on the dance floor, in the stair well, and the crawl space in the ceiling? Chuck you know how I am about that sort of stuff."
Chuck kissed the top of her head. He thought to himself he will never understand how this beautiful woman can be so enamored with him. But he wasn't about to question fate. "Yeah, that would be kind of weird to see another woman in that dress. Although, it wasn't the dress that made those moments special. It was the person wearing it." Chuck looked down to Sarah as she was shaking her head. "What? Too Cheesy?"
"Just a little, but it's one of the billion things I love about you." Sarah reached up and gave him a quick kiss as they made their way out of Castle.
"Wow, up to a billion already. Guess I have some work to do to reach that trillion mark." Chuck just gave her the eye brow dance.
Sarah stopped him and pinned him against the wall. She grabbed the back of his head and gave him a deep kiss. After the need for air won out, Sarah backed away. "Billion and one." Then she led him out the door and to the car.
{* * *}
{Next Day}
Chuck was about to take his lunch break and he couldn't have been more excited. He was meeting Sarah and Ellie over at the Orange Orange, and this was the day they would be able to show Ellie Castle. He couldn't wait to show his sister everything although certain areas were still off limits. Even so, Beckman gave them her approval and it was the best news ever.
The time read 1:30 and it was time to meet Sarah and Ellie. He quickly ran over to the Orange Orange where he saw his sister and fiancée waiting for him. He gave them both a hug and eagerly grabbed a hold of Ellie's hand as Sarah entered the code to go in to Castle.
"I suppose asking you to close your eyes would be too much right?" Chuck was like a kid in a candy store.
Ellie just shook her head. "I think I would rather keep them open Chuck." She barely had time to register the fact they were walking through a cooler when Chuck was pulling her through the door and down the steps. Sarah was close behind just smiling at the way Chuck was acting.
"Over there is our server room. And there is the equipment room." Chuck smirked as he pointed to the supply closet. "And there is my favorite…" He never finished as Sarah punched him in the arm. He brought Ellie around to the conference room where Sheryl was standing over the table doing something that he couldn't quite see. He figured he would be polite as he brought Ellie around the table. Sarah was right behind him when he saw what Sheryl was doing. "Sheryl, No!"
Before he could react, Sheryl had accidentally triggered a trap in the Mask Artifact she was inspecting, which in turn started releasing gas. Chuck instantly hit the containment button next to him and without even thinking, he shoved Sarah through the doorway just as the security wall came down.
"CHUCK!" Sarah screamed as the wall came down in front of her, blocking her from Chuck and Ellie. She couldn't believe what had just happened.
Chuck turned on Sheryl. "You idiot! Why the hell would you mess with that here?" Chuck was already making sure the containment protocols were in place as he moved Ellie away from the table.
"I didn't know Chuck? How was I to know?" Sheryl was in shock.
Chuck was livid, "The containment room is right over there. Are you kidding me? It didn't occur to you to go in there and then inspect the Mask?" Chuck turned to his sister who had a look of shock. Then he looked beyond the glass to where Sarah was reaching for her gun. "Sarah, no!" Chuck ran over to the glass.
Sarah was not listening as she aimed her gun at the glass.
"Damn it Sarah, you can't breach the wall. This is X14 Weapon grade nerve gas. We can't let it spread."
Sarah was shaking her head, she was not letting him be in their without her. And why the hell did he save her and not his sister first?
Chuck put his hand on the glass. "Sarah, listen to me. Please."
Sarah broke out of her trance as she saw the look in Chuck's eyes. She lowered her gun as she placed her hand over his through the glass. "Why Chuck? Why did you push me out?"
Chuck could see the hurt in her eyes. He just reacted. Maybe he'll hate himself later for not saving his sister first, but he just reacted. His first instinct was to save Sarah. He didn't know what else to say. "Sarah, you have to listen to me. You have to focus here okay."
Sarah started to cry as she saw Chuck on the other side, pleading with her to pull it together. All she could think about was losing him and it was slowly crushing her.
Chuck had to calm down or this would not end well for anyone. It was the gentle touch of his sister's hand that finally calmed him as he turned to Ellie. He was about to apologize but she had the most understanding and caring look on her face. Even a smile as if everything would be alright.
"Chuck, you did the right thing. Now figure out how to fix this."
Chuck knew he had to concentrate. There had to be a way out of this. That's when it hit him. "Sarah." He could see that Sarah was losing focus as she kept shaking her head and asking why. "Agent Walker!" Chuck knew he might regret that later but he needed Sarah to focus and he needed her now. "Sarah, listen to me. There has to be an antidote for this gas. They wouldn't have prepared this kind of trap without having a way to counter the effects." Chuck was starting to put a plan in motion as he was talking. "Sarah you and Casey need to go back to the Art Center and find the antidote. The Ring Operative must know where the antidote is. Find it and bring it back."
Sarah was not focusing, she was shaking her head. "I'm not leaving you Chuck. I know what X14 is. Don't you dare leave me." She raised her gun again. She was not going to leave Chuck and she didn't care about the consequences.
Damn it, Chuck thought. He moved to in front of where she was aiming. "Sarah you can't do this. I'll figure out something from this end, but you have to get the antidote. Help me Sarah Walker, you're our only hope." Chuck had to get through to her and it was worth a shot.
Sarah was seconds from pulling the trigger and putting the life of hundreds in danger by releasing the gas. She didn't care; all she cared about was being with Chuck even if it was the end. She would not stand on the outside as he slowly died. It was only the last line of his statement that finally got through to her. She looked into his eyes, really looked as rational crept back into her line of thinking.
"I love you Sarah. I need you to think about our future. You can do this. Now go!"
Sarah couldn't help the tears as she leaned her head up against the wall. Even though Chuck was yelling at her, she had to have at least this.
Chuck calmed down enough to also lean his head against the glass where Sarah was. He could see that Sarah was struggling.
"I will save you Chuck." Then with that she was gone.
. . .
Chuck turned to his sister and quickly explained the composition of the gas and its affects. "Ellie, is there anything we can do in here that will slow down the effects?"
Ellie was analyzing the data in her brain as Chuck once again went over the details of the poison. They were limited with options being enclosed in this tiny area. It was then she had an idea. "Okay the gas spreads through the blood stream and into the nervous system, eventually shutting down all vital organs. We need to slow down the blood flow."
Chuck instantly went to the main console in the containment room. He lowered the AC settings to 60 degrees. It was as low as the AC could go but it was a start. Chuck then initiated the Intersect to see if there was any way they could make it any colder. He still had 30 minutes till full containment was reached so he had to gain some time. It would take Sarah at least thirty minutes to get there and back and that was counting how fast they could get the location of the anti-dote. The nerve gas had a thirty minute window before its full affects took over. That means there only chance was to stall the nerve gas from spreading. It was then he had an idea.
He turned to Sheryl and Ellie. "Okay, listen to me. The only way we live is if we slow down our blood flow and the only way to do that is to lower the temperature to below freezing in here."
Sheryl was shaking her head as she suddenly realized what he was thinking. "Chuck, the fire system in here is a mix of nitrous oxide and H2O. That in itself could kill us."
"I will take could as opposed to will right now. We don't have a choice." Chuck looked to Ellie who was nodding her head that this might just work. "Okay, we will get under the table and make sure as much of our skin is covered. When I activate the fire control system we will have only five seconds before it goes subarctic in here. Try to control your breathing and never take a breathe without filtering through your hands and shirt first. "
Chuck quickly gave Ellie a hug. "I love you sis."
Ellie was so proud of her little brother. "I love you to Chuck. Now do this." Ellie then joined Sheryl under the table, even though for whatever reason, being inches from this woman caused her skin to crawl. Both woman put their arms and head in the shirts as they tried to hide as much skin as possible.
Chuck was at the computer screen as he was about to hit the fire alarm. Chuck quickly texted Sarah.
Tomorrow, our beach
He hit the send button and then looked to the computer keyboard. "Please let this work." Chuck then hit the button and quickly ran under the table where he sat close to Ellie.
It was seconds later when the Fire System went into full containment…
. . .
Sarah was in near frantic mode as she was racing back to Castle at nearly 120 mph. weaving in and out of traffic not once stopping for anyone or anything. She had the antidote in hand and it was a testament to every single ounce of training and skill she had learned since she was a child that she was able to make it back this quickly. There would be repercussions for her and Casey's actions but she didn't care. It might take a while to find all the pieces to the Ring Operative they interrogated but Casey and her had no choice. The permanent disfigurement of the security guards at the museum would also have to be dealt with not to mention thousands of dollars in damaged artifacts. Nothing mattered though except getting back to Castle and saving Chuck and his sister.
She had just run a light and avoided a near fatal collision as she flew through the streets of Burbank. She could not let the tears cloud her vision so she was trying everything to control her emotions. She knew Chuck loved her, she knew that he would do anything for her, but not even she could understand the depth of that love. She had a pretty strong clue as it could only compare to her own love but she never thought Chuck would ever fully feel the same way about her that she did him. But he saved her? His first instinct in the face of danger was to protect her over his own sister. She knew the Intersect needed her, that was evident back in Costa Gravas. But now, it made her realize just how special she must be to Chuck. Maybe she never realized it until that moment, but she swore she would never let another minute go by that she didn't show him just how special that made her feel.
His last text said it all and she knew exactly what it meant. They would not wait any longer, tomorrow at their beach would be the day her life legally began anew as Sarah Lisa Bartowski. She was so deep in thought that she never noticed her speed topping 130.
{* * *}
{Later at Castle}
After arriving just in time to administer the antidote and save everyone, now it was time to clean up. Devon had met them down in Castle to check everyone over and make sure there would be no lasting effects from the poison. Fortunately, everyone was given a clean bill of health and a few hours later later everyone had finally gone home except for Chuck and Sarah. It took a bit to clean up and finalize their reports, but now it was finally time for them to go.
Sarah rounded the corner to see Chuck standing there. "Hey honey, just wanted to make sure your okay." She was still worried about him even though both Ellie and Devon reassured her he would be okay. She was so proud of him for his quick thinking that in reality saved both he and his sister.
"Yeah, I guess, just you know thinking about what happened." Chuck had a solemn look on his face. "I've gotten used to us being a team, just scared me to think what might have happened."
"Well I'm not going anywhere. You know I'll always be your partner, and not just professionally." Sarah took a small step forward as she longed to be in his arms.
Chuck still had a questioning look on his face. "Are you sure your okay with the whole getting married thing tomorrow?" Chuck moved sideways this time as the punch narrowly missed his arm.
Sarah gave him a mock dirty look. "Honestly, I really wish we wouldn't have waited even this long."
Chuck was smiling now from ear to ear. "How do you think I feel? We're so perfect for each other, it's disgusting." Chuck quickly put up his hands. "In a heartwarming kind of way. Look, all I know is that we belong together, we are perfect for each other." Chuck paused again has he gave a little smirk. "I just never pegged you falling for the nerdy guy."
Sarah was in his arms, her hands clasped behind his head. She was happier then she had ever been. The events from earlier completely forgotten as all she could think about was marrying the man of her dreams tomorrow. "Well, what can I say, I have a type."
"I love you Sarah." Chuck reached down to kiss his soon to be wife.
"Love you too Chuck."
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. I also hope you guys found a lot of the hidden subtleties I dropped in there. How about the ending, I'm sure it might have seemed familiar to a few :)
