A/N: Been a while huh? Sorry about the delays but I'm just now getting back (no pun intended) in the swing of things. Mind is finally clear enough to start writing again so hopefully you'll enjoy what's coming.

This has not been beta'd so all the blame is on me for this chapter. Hopefully its good enough although I realize a little shorter than usual.

I still don't own Chuck.

Chapter 45 - Lamaze

"C you have to do this for me. Casey and I are stuck here in Silicon Valley and I'm not going to make the last one."

Carina could hear the desperation in the nerd's voice but she was still hesitant. She had faced the most evil this world had to offer, been in the most dire of circumstances, accomplished some of the most unbelievable missions of any agent. Yet what she faced now could possibly be the most dangerous mission she could possibly embark on.

"Come on C, please? I promise you get the next high profile seduction case."

"You're such a dickweed you know that Bartowski. I'm not a slut you know."

Chuck sighed as he realized what he'd just said. It's true sometimes he got caught up in the whole 'Carina' persona but in reality, he knows without a doubt she is one of the kindest and loving human beings in the world. It wasn't fair to label his 'sis' like that even though they always joked around with each other. "Carina your right and I'm sorry. That wasn't fair and you know how much you mean to us?"

Carina was just giving him a hard time, well mostly, but she wasn't about to let him off the hook so easy. "So tell me Chuck, exactly how much do I mean to you?"

"Oh come on, you know how much already. You're practically living with us and you've officially changed your last name to Bartowski right?" Two could play at that game Chuck mused.

"God I hate you sometimes you know that jerk?" Carina just shook her head. She knew this was a hopeless cause anyway. It was just a matter of time before the nerd got what he wanted. The jerk had that effect on people for some God forsaken reason.

"So you'll do it, good I'll let Sarah know you'll pick her up at 7:00. Love yah C, I owe you."

"Damn right you owe me." And with that Carina hung up the phone and took a deep breath. Here we go she thought to herself as she clasped her hands together. Show time...

{* * *}

"WE'RE GOING TO WATCH WHAT?" Carina was livid at what the Lamaze instructor had just said. "Oh hell no!"

"Quiet down Carina, this is just part of the class." Sarah had never been more embarrassed as it seemed everyone in the room was staring at her and Carina. Oh how Chuck was going to pay for this one Sarah promised herself.

Carina swore to herself that Chuckles was really going to pay for this. Most things she could handle, even admittingly so she wouldn't even object to a mission where making out with another female was required, but this, this was going a little too far. She wasn't remotely cut out for this and even though she was an open minded free spirit, there was just something about this that seemed wrong.

Sarah was quickly losing patience as Chuck Jr. must have been practicing for the Olympics. She could feel the baby pushing against her bladder and her back was aching beyond what she ever thought possible. It was warm in the room and that just added to the frustration and irritation she was feeling. If Carina didn't calm the heck down and stop embarrassing her, baby or not, she would kick her butt like she did the last time Carina surprised her.

"Will you just sit down and stop making a scene." Sarah was not fooling around as she gave a look at Carina that would make almost any man whimper in fear.

Carina knew that look and when the overweight, pregnant, madly in love, deadly assassin gave that look, it was time to listen. "Fine, but your boy toy is getting it when we're done."

Sarah couldn't argue with that. Chuck was a dead man.

The instructor, who was filling in for the normal instructor, nervously gave her instruction. "Okay mom's and… partners, it's time to get into position Comforter as we watch the 'Journey of Birth'." The instructor was a nervous wreck, she had never been more terrified at the behavior of the blonde and tall red head. She'd trained life partners before so that was not an issue, but there was something about these two that scared her to death.

Carina looked around at all the Father's as they carefully sat down behind their partners, holding them securely in their arms as the moms could lean back into them. Carina decided she could either continue to fight it, or she could do what she does best. This was going to be a night no one in the room would ever forget.

Casey was driving as fast as he could down the darkened highway, weaving in and out of traffic as if he was back at the NSA vehicle tactical training center. There were very few times that Casey had ever felt anxious, or the need to hurry, well when there wasn't an explosive device involved, but after the recent call he received, he had no choice. He gave a quick concerned glance over towards Chuck who had a look of sheer terror on his face.

"Don't worry kid, I'm sure it's not as bad as it sounded." Casey tried his best to voice an air of concern. After all, he didn't want the kid to soil his pants in his car.

Chuck could only stare straight ahead, a part of him wondering if an escape plan might not be the best option. Casey had said once before that he had a plan in case a hit order was put out on him. Well this was much worse than a hit order. Chuck was too scared to even speak.

"Really kid, it can't be as bad as it sounds."

"Casey, my wife and her best friend were kicked out of Lamaze class. Yeah, it's as bad as it sounds."

Okay, Casey couldn't really argue with that. Still, the kid had to know it's going to be okay. Well, for the most part at least.

Chuck interrupted Casey before he said anything. "Casey, I know what you're going to say but it's no use. It's my fault I missed this class and now I have two of the most deadly spies on earth waiting to confront me when I get home." Chuck took a deep breath.

"Yeah, it's worse than we could imagine." Sure it's wasn't the best thing to say, but the kid was right.

{* * *}

Chuck approached the door as if Satan himself stood on the other side. The door actually seemed to suck him in towards it like those movies of people hallucinating. He turned to Casey to see if the big guy was seeing the same thing he was but strangely enough, Casey wasn't there. It was moments later when Chuck heard the squealing tires of the Crown Vic pulling out of his driveway.

"Gee, thanks a lot for backing me up Casey." Chuck muttered to himself as he approached the door. Now he knew what the death walk was like for those men on death row. He was hoping beyond hope that Molly would have been there to save him but she had conveniently decided to stay the night with her Aunt Ellie and Uncle Devon.

Chuck took in a deep breath and slowly blew it out as he stood face to face with the only thing keeping him from the beasts within. It was time to face the demon as he cautiously unlocked the door and stepped in. "High honey, I'm home."

Chuck's forced exuberance was quickly squelched as he noticed the candles lit all around the living room. There was music playing and the lights were dim, giving off a very romantic air to the room. Chuck stepped back out the door to make sure he was in the right home. "Yep, this is it." He whispered to himself as he cautiously walked back in and shut the door. He placed his keys on the desk and removed his jacket as he walked cautiously in to the house.

"High Chuck" Sarah seductively said as she walked in from the kitchen.

Now Chuck had seen Sarah in many an outfit; in fact, there was nothing that his wife wouldn't do or wouldn't perform for him. Everything from a very seductive Moroccan Belly dancing outfit to a modified version of her Wiernerlicious outfit. Each time his wife had introduced him to a new level of want and desire with every outfit. The Goddess that stood before him now, in an outfit that looked as if it was created by Aphrodite herself, put all others to shame. Chuck literally could only stand there, completely incapacitated as his angel sensuously approached him.

Sarah wasn't stupid; she knew what her body had turned into lately. Sure she still kept in shape but carrying what amounted to a watermelon did not exactly make her feel beautiful. Not to mention her breast had doubled in size and her butt was rounder than ever. These things combined had slowly eaten away at her self-image. It was a leap for her to put on this elegantly designed white lingerie because she was not sure how it would really look. Of course she knew Chuck would say how beautiful she was but she really needed at this time to feel, well feel beautiful. She was mad at Chuck, but she was through fighting, it wasn't good for the baby and it definitely wasn't good for their relationship. That is why she sent everyone away for the night and planned this special time for her and Chuck. Most of all, she wanted Chuck to want her and not just for all the normal reasons. From the look on her husband's face, she had more than exceeded any expectations she could have ever dreamed of.

Chuck couldn't take his eyes off his wife. Her face was glowing and her eyes were brighter than the oceans of Kauai. Her breasts were so perfect as they formed a perfect balance with each other, forming an amazing crevice as if carved in marble by Divinci himself. It was as if they were inviting him in to feel of their softness and warmth. Her nipples were just barely showing through the white lace, but they too were so inviting as Chuck was sure it wasn't just the air in the room that was bringing out the best of Sarah's assets. He nearly melted when he saw just how beautifully formed her belly was and how the negligee seemed to accentuate the perfect shape and contrast of the skin beneath. Chuck couldn't help but let a tear fall. Not the most romantic thing he knew, but the sight of his wife, and the feeling of his love for her just overwhelmed him.

Sarah was mere inches from him when she saw the tear. She looked so deeply into his eyes and saw the purest of love in those brown orbs. A love that didn't require anything, but gave everything. She slowly reached both hands up to loosen his tie. She tilted her head slightly as her emotions were overcoming her to. "I'm so glad your home Chuck."

Chuck was finally able to move as the closeness of his wife, the feel of her warm hands, the intoxicating smell of her, caused him to realize what was in front of him. "I love you Sarah." Chuck then gently grabbed her hands as he held them in his. "And I'm glad I'm home too." He gave her a warm smile as he leaned down and kissed her.

{* * *}

The next morning came and the two were lying comfortably in their bed. Sarah was on her side, facing away from Chuck and he was spooned in behind her. His tender, caring hand was rubbing her belly as his other arm held her tightly underneath the shoulders. Sarah leaned her head back a little inviting Chuck to kiss her neck which he easily obeyed.

Both lovers lay naked, the warmth of their bodies combined with the warmth and comfort of the silken sheets made both feel as if they were lying in the clouds. Their love making last night had brought them even closer than ever before. It may have been a little different than usual with Sarah being so far along, but the meaning behind the act, the actual making of love was stronger and more powerful than any time before.

"Thank you for last night Chuck. I really needed it." Sarah let out a deep sigh as every muscle in her body seemed to relax at the same moment. She truly was in heaven.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make the last Lamaze appointment, but I have to say, if this is the reward for missing special events, I think I'll plan a mission when you're ready to deliv…" Chuck never finished as the air was knocked out of his lungs by Sarah's elbow exploding into it.

"You better be joking mister." Sarah couldn't help but smile as Chuck was, as always, over reacting to her slight nudge.

"Fine, you win you win." Chuck could barely breathe as he tried to catch his breath.

Sarah, oblivious to his theatrics, snuggled closer as she grabbed his arm to pull it tighter around her. "And don't worry Chuck, you'll have plenty of chances to make it up to me in the future."

Chuck was finally able to breathe as he smiled at Sarah's reaction. She felt so good in his arms and… Chuck's eyes opened wide at the meaning of her words. The only thing he could say was "Oh boy."

A/N: Only one more chapter to go and I think this story will finally come to an end. Hopefully you've enjoyed it so far and as always, thanks so much for the reviews and a special thanks to all the well wishes during my recovery. You guys are incredible.
