A/N: This was just a fun chapter I wrote after all the serious stuff the last couple. Some may not like it but I wanted to do something a little more light hearted.

As always, thanks to my Beta Gladius who helped me see the light with this chapter. Hopefully it came out okay.

I don't own Chuck!


Chapter 43 - Dreams Can Come True

Emma woke up in a panic when she realized Molly wasn't next to her. Molly had her own room but it had only been a few days in Chuck and Sarah's house, and the little one was too scared to sleep alone. Thus the surprise when the other side of her bed was empty. This caused Emma to spring out of bed, making sure to check the room again just in case.

Seeing the room was empty, she quickly ran to Molly's room just to be sure, but still no one. Emma checked the time and it was only 3:05 a.m., 'Where could she be?' Emma wondered. It was then she heard a strange sound, what appeared to be static coming from the downstairs living room. She let out a guarded sigh as she figured Chuck must have fallen asleep again playing video games. There was a possibility Molly was with him.

She hurried downstairs, and made her way to the family room. She rounded the corner and walked into the room, only to stop dead in her tracks as her hand shot up towards her mouth.

Laying sound asleep on the futon was Sarah and Molly both snuggled up close on both sides of Chuck, who was in a sitting position. It must have been uncomfortable for Chuck for it was obvious he was being used as a pillow, blanket, and temporary bedding for both Molly and Sarah. Her two girls were snuggled up so close to Chuck that Emma couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. She smiled as a tear came to her eye seeing Chuck with his protective arms around both his girls. 'His girls' Emma thought as the emotion was just so much right now.

She had never seen anyone take so quickly to someone else, like Molly did to Chuck. She laughed a little thinking of the stories Sarah had told her of when she and Chuck first met. Apparently her previous line of thinking wasn't necessary true as Sarah was taken just as quickly with Chuck. Not to mention, here this wonderful man had taken Molly and her in, and not once made them feel like a burden. If anything it was just the opposite. Chuck acted as if they had been family all their life, and it wasn't even a question whether they should be here or not.

Emma used to have a really bad taste in her mouth towards men. Chuck and his family changed all that and she couldn't have been happier. She tilted her head seeing how perfect a family the three, and soon to be four of them made. Her heart ached a little knowing that this was how it was always meant to be.

Emma knew that Sarah had thought she raised Molly as her own daughter but that wasn't the case. Molly was only three, but Emma always made sure Molly addressed her as Meme or Grandma, but never mom. She was hoping that one day her own daughter would come back to claim that role. Of course she would always be a part of Molly's life, and she knew it wasn't exactly fair to spring this on them now, especially with Chuck Jr. on the way. But this had always been her plan. She'd always hoped that one day her daughter would come back and want to be part of Molly's life. In a strange way, Emma was hoping this would be the one thing that would change Sarah, help remind her of what she really was, not what the CIA and her father had turned her into. Luckily Chuck had already done that, but of course that wasn't the only reason, but no need to spring that on them now either.

"Hey, we got room for one more." whispered Chuck as he extended his left arm where Molly was secure, in a welcoming gesture towards Emma.

Emma just shook her head. What was it about Chuck that just demanded compliance from the girls in her family? It was like he had some kind of mind controlling device and just the mere thought of being in his arms warmed the heart to the core. She would've definitely pictured herself with someone like Chuck back in the day, oh how she wished she would have found someone like him. That ship had sailed long ago but what she wouldn't give to feel at least safe, secure, and above all else, part of something great. Part of this family her daughter has begun.

With a soft smile, Emma walked over and cuddled up next to Molly, leaning into her as Chuck wrapped a loving arm around them both. This just felt so right to her.

Sarah smiled as she gave a quick peek seeing her mother now on the futon. Sarah had been on such a roller coaster ride the last few days. Oh heck the last few months. Chuck had introduced her to a level of love and caring that she had never before thought possible. Not only for her, but for human kind in general. Chuck demanded this from her, not because of any sort of decree, just the fact he was Chuck, he demanded all the love that was inside her. He not only taught her how to love, he taught her that she deserved every right to love.

Now, here she sat in the arms of what she had no doubt was her entire life. She carried for Chuck, something that no one else had or will ever do. She held the most precious of gifts inside her and it was Chuck and hers alone. Then, her sister came back. It was weird thinking of this precious little angel as a sister. Molly was more than that, but she couldn't quite label it yet. She didn't even care to label it because as far as she was concerned, Molly could have come from Chuck and her just as much as the baby inside her now. Some would call her crazy. One, that the child wasn't even their bloodline, and two the fact that really they had only known each other for two weeks in total. None of that mattered to her though. The moment she made the decision to go against the CIA and save and keep the baby, a bond was formed.

That bond laid dormant and behind the strongest of walls. But as Chuck destroyed every single wall she had ever put up, in doing so, the bond that she had with Molly was set free and now that the baby girl was with them, there was nothing stronger. It pained her a little to know that she wasn't able to raise her and care for her, but she in essence gave her life. Doesn't that count for something? She tried to convince herself.

Sarah was so comfortable even though physically that probably shouldn't be the case. But sitting here in the arms of her husband, with her Mom and... with Molly, it was more than a dream come true. She had to laugh thinking of just how comfortable all of the woman in her family were in the arms of her husband. Thank goodness she didn't have a twin or an older sibling. She paused thinking of how well that would've turned out. It wouldn't surprise her if Carina came strutting down and plopped herself right on Chuck's lap.

Yeah, she would definitely say something then although as close as Carina was to the family now, her naive and clueless husband probably wouldn't think anything of it. He already treated Carina like a sister, especially with how close Chuck's mom and Carina have been lately. Sure Sarah wished she could be that close to Mary, but she couldn't have asked for a better scenario. It finally gave Carina purpose beyond doing the next mission, or in Carina's case, doing the next mark. Carina was finally part of something great and no matter what the superior DEA agent tried to do to say otherwise, she was already bitten by the Bartowski bug. In the end though, it would work out in her favor because Carina and Chuck were so much like brother and sister now. One less brunette to worry about and one more killer spy on her side to make sure no one messed with her husband.

Mom or not, she'd be damned if she was about to let things get out of hand with anyone chasing her husband. Sarah smiled as she looked down towards her Mom and sister. Yep, the army to protect Chuck was definitely growing. She just laughed thinking of what a nerd she too had become.

She snuggled closer to her husband who was her very own warming blanket. It was the greatest feeling in the world and apparently judging by the loving sigh from her husband, he wouldn't have it any other way.

{Castle - Couple Days Later}

"Team, we have a special request from a high ranking member of Congress."

Chuck couldn't believe his ears as he sat up a little straighter. Diane had already talked to him a little bit 'off the record' but this was where the rest of the team would be able to be part of the mission.

"It seems that a rogue group of hackers have been infiltrating particular sectors of Congress. Personal files, campaign information, all kinds of things politicians would rather not see shared have been compromised. There are some desperate people in Washington that want to see this group of Hackers, caught and put away." Beckman had a certain look that could only be described as pride.

"They want my team to take them down. No one else has been able to get anywhere near these guys. Chuck, I want you and your team to find, capture, and confiscate any and all data this group is using."

Chuck could barely contain himself. This was like a dream mission come true. "General, is there any information that you can provide us to the whereabouts of this group?"

"The only tip we have is that they might be at a special event coming up in Sand Diego. I believe you know what event I'm talking about."

Chuck actually let out a squeal as the realization that Techno Con was what the General was talking about. Only the Super Bowl for computer nerds. "Are you saying what I think your saying General?"

Beckman could barely contain her smile. "Yes Chuck. Whatever you need, no matter the expense, you got it. Just bring this group down."

Chuck turned to Sarah who was sitting down behind him with the biggest smile on her face. He could tell she must have been saying something to the baby because she was shaking her head as she looked at him and how excited he was.

"Oh this is going to be Awesome."

{San Diego Conference Center and Hotel}

Chuck, Sarah, Carina, and Casey were meeting in their hotel room, preparing to leave for the Techno Con event downstairs.

"Chuck, you know I love you. And I understand you have a certain... blind spot for how you see me. But honey, I'm seven months pregnant and look like a blimp, how exactly is this going to be a distraction?" Sarah on one hand was so happy that Chuck wanted her on this mission. He actually wouldn't take no for an answer and he just kept insisting that she be just as much the distraction as Carina. She still did not understand Chuck's line of thinking and really had to question his objectivity.

"Chucky, I hate to put a bad light on blondie here, but unless your hacker pals are Biggest Loser fans, I'm thinking I should be the only one to be your arm candy." Carina dodged a pillow that was thrown by Sarah.

Chuck pinched the bridge of his nose, why can't they just understand. "I'm not going to go over this again. I know what nerds desire most. Well after being a millionaire and top gamer in the country. Yes Carina, while any heterosexual, and possibly even homosexual male might be attracted to you, I need the ultimate distraction. I need every hacker in the room to lose interest in his computer for at least 2 minutes. There is only one female in this entire Universe, along with you, that could pull that off. And said female just so happens to be carrying my son." Chuck looked over to Sarah who couldn't keep the smile off her face.

"So just follow the instructions I gave you, and everything will work out. Now Casey and I will head down in a few minutes. It is vital that you and Sarah don't walk into the conference room where the tournament is being held until exactly 2:30 p.m. This will give me time to set up the virus and then I will need at least a minute to infect the computers."

Casey still didn't understand why the Hackers would be at this location. "Tell me again kid why you think the Hackers will be at this particular conference center."

Chuck just shook his head, did nobody pay attention? "Casey, Casey, Casey. You really need to take notes next time." Chuck took a cautious step behind his wife as the look Casey gave him was a tad bit threatening. "Every Techno Con, they have a competition for the best 'hacker' in the world. Of course it's under the guise of a video game competition, but every hacker knows about this event." Chuck straightened up with pride a little bit. "Actually I've won the event a few times in my day. I even have a nickname, Piranha.."

Sarah leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "My hero." She even batted her eyes and gave him the best interpretation of a groupie.

Chuck had to do a double take at how gorgeous his wife was acting. Actually it was really turning him on to where he forgot everything he was saying.

Carina just rolled her eyes. Did those two ever stop? She wondered to herself.

Chuck suddenly realized everyone was staring at him, waiting for him to continue. "So, stick to the plan, do exactly what I say, and we'll have this thing wrapped up in time for the Marvel Super Hero Dance tonight."

Carina walked over to Sarah, leaning over towards her friend. "You really picked a winner, Walker."

Sarah looked around the room, wondering who in the world Carina was talking too.

Carina just shook her head as she rolled her eyes. "Come on... Bartowski, time to get changed."

"Remember Carina, you guys have to wear exactly what I picked out." Chuck was not open for debate on this one.

Carina hadn't yet seen the outfits they were supposed to wear but she could only imagine.

. . .

The two female spies were just finishing up getting ready. Casey and Chuck had already left for the tournament and that left her and Sarah back in the hotel room. Carina had to take a step back. "He's kidding right?"

Sarah looked down at herself and was wondering the same thing. "Look, if Chuck thinks this will work, then we have to trust him." She really wasn't all that convinced right now.

"Whatever you say blondie. Whatever you say."

. . .

Chuck was in his element surrounded by some of the best hackers in the world. He was never one to brag, and being the world's elite hacker was not exactly something you wanted to advertise, but when it came to computers and hacking, no one came close. He was in his element, surrounded by men of like mind. They all spoke the one all-knowing language, binary. It was the language of the Gods and here they all sat upon mount Olympus.

The tournament was already in full swing and he had his virus ready to go. He'd already pinged all the computers around him and although most were protected by some of the most elite firewalls around, there were a few that made Fort Knox security look like the local kindergarten network. These would be the ones he concentrated on first. It was all up to his wife and her best friend as he patiently awaited their arrival.

. . .

He was concentrating so hard on the code that he never noticed Sarah and Carina walk in. It wasn't until the sudden clicking of keyboards came to a halt, and a room wide intake of air brought him from his typing. There were "Oh my God" and "Are you kidding me" being whispered around the room as all eyes were on the two leggy Valkyries that just entered.

Even though Chuck was expecting this, he couldn't help but stare at the most incredible sight his eyes had ever set upon. His eyes almost watered at the heavenly glow surrounding the sexiest human alive, his wife. He barely even noticed Carina as he couldn't pull his eyes away from his wife.

"Pull it together Moron, we've got a mission." Casey's voice brought Chuck out of his drunken with love stupor. It was then he quickly entered the codes to initiate the viruses as he kept sneaking peeks as his wife slowly and sensually sauntered over towards him.

Carina was a sight to see as half the room was completely speechless as the super model made her way around the room. Even though she would normally never be caught dead in this outfit, she was playing it to the hilt and it was definitely having the desired affect. There were a lot of things Sarah and her did well, but nothing compared to how the two of them together could command a room. And boy were they commanding now.

Carina had her hair up in a bun with a pencil in it, along with studios looking glasses. She had a button down white shirt that was two sizes to small, tied up around her belly button, and a short red and black checkered skirt that barely contained anything. She wore almost knee high white stockings with high heals that seemed to make her tan legs glisten in the glow of the room. She smirked as she saw the overwhelming affect it was having on the nerds in the room. 'To easy' she thought to herself as she made her way seductively around the room opposite of Sarah.

As if the sight of Carina wasn't enough, next came Chuck's 'secret weapon'. The nerds in the room gasped as they stared in awe at the tall legged blonde, with golden hair flowing over her shoulders like sun drenched silken strands of beauty touched by Midas himself. Her tight fitting t shirt that more than accentuated her oversized breasts hugged every curve, making the basket ball like bulge in her stomach look as if it was carved by the gods themselves. Her knee high, flowing white skirt, gave just the hint of the silky white legs hidden beneath. She was wearing white high heels shoes that laced up almost calf high. The high heels accentuated her finely toned legs and just made her legs look like they went on and on forever. But most eyes never made it below the bulging breasts and the words written upon the stomach. 'Future Nerd' written with an arrow pointing downward towards Sarah's belly button is what gave every single person in the room a moment to relish in the most wonderful daydream of their lives.

See Chuck knew that most nerds probably only cared if it had boobs and a vagina. For those that shallow, Carina would be the distraction, every nerds fantasy. For the others, those that dared to dream about something more, well that's where his wife came in. Chuck knew what would completely blow these fellow Hackers away was the possibility that one of them, one of their tight knit circle of nerdologists, could possibly get this beautiful creature pregnant, let alone marry her.

With mouth's watering and eyes bulging, every last person in the room stared hopelessly at the two women. Both walked seductively up to Chuck but he never saw Carina. It was his wife who had all his attention.

Sarah walked right up to Chuck, making sure to get there before Carina. She knew her best friend, and even though things had changed between Carina and Chuck, Sarah was not about to let the heat of the moment cloud Carina's judgment. Not exactly professional as a spy would act, but who cares, she thought. After all, she really was no longer a spy.

Sarah ran her fingers though her favorite place, Chuck's curls. She bent just slightly over, pulling Chuck into what might possibly have been the most erotic kiss the two had ever exchanged. She really didn't plan it like that, she was an expectant mother after all. Maybe it was the feeling of competition with Carina in the room. Whatever it was, it was causing a major reaction in the room.

There wasn't a single breath made as the gorgeous blonde and the legendary nerd, Piranha, engaged in the most affectionate kiss anyone in the room had ever seen, let alone would ever have. Chuck could have robbed every single one of them blind for this was working way beyond what he originally anticipated.

Sarah could have held their attention for a good two hours if she wanted, but the mission was already accomplished and besides, Carina was getting a little to close to Chuck for her liking. She did have to admit though, the two of them fawning themselves over Chuck made for quite the distraction. She would have to make sure later Chuck didn't enjoy it too much. Of course, she had to get herself under control before she could think to do anything.

She had to admit to herself, seeing Chuck in action with the Intersect was nothing like seeing what he could do with a computer. She could not believe just how turned on she was by his abilities, and this was all him. She laughed thinking back to how Chuck always said that she wouldn't have given him the time of day if not for the Intersect. Oh how wrong he was. If she would have been sent on a mission like this, and just met Chuck, well let's just say for a soon to be mother, her thoughts were very inappropriate.

"Don't be long sweetheart. We have something special planned for you tonight." Sarah made sure everyone heard as she gave one last kiss goodbye grabbing Carina's hand before the leggy spy could give her own kiss goodbye. Both females sauntered out of the room, every eye, every head following as they moved gracefully through the room.

Once Sarah was gone, everyone slowly turned their collective heads to stare at the Piranha. Chuck had never seen such admiration as he was seeing now. Some people actually looked as if they were weeping. Legends would be made from this day. The day each nerd knew that maybe, just maybe there was always a chance for the little guy. Maybe, dreams really can come true.


A/N: On a personal note, just wanted to let everyone know I'm having back surgery tomorrow so might be delayed again with the next chapter. I kind of feel uncomfortable asking this, but wouldn't mind a few prayers sent my way if you believe in that sort of thing. Thanks as always for reading and being my motivation to continue on.
