A/N: Hello ppl :) The nxt chapter is up. :)

I've been re-watching CHUCK this holiday. HAHA I DID THE SAME THING LAST SUMMER. Well I watched it twice last summer...but yeah...that's not the point. IT'S AWESOME...well except for the parts where Chuck and Sarah have other significant others. If you know what I mean by that. But yeah. I think I can safely say that I am officially obsessed. I don't know what i'm going to do when it ends.

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck.

Chapter 5

Vivian took a deep breath. "Oh. OH." She tried not to display her vulnerability, but she slowly lowered her fist.

Sarah took this as a good sign - Vivian was retreating. She decided to keep pleading, in hopes that Vivian would give up altogether. "Please Vivian. PLEASE." She fell to her knees. "You can torture me. Throw me in a bunker. Kill me. You can do anything to me. Just don't harm my child. Or Chuck." She paused as tears started running down her cheeks. "Please Vivian."

Ellie came home from an overnight shift and found an unconscious Chuck sprawled on the ground in front of the fountain of their courtyard.

"Chuck. CHUCK." His eyes began to flutter.

"Chuck. What happened?" Ellie took on the role of a worried mother.

Last night's memories began to flood into Chuck's head. "Ellie. Sarah. SARAH. They took her Ellie. They took her..." Chuck began to talk hysterically.

"Chuck. Calm down. Calm down." She helped him up off the ground. "Who took her Chuck? Who took her?"

"I don't know. There were two men, and then they tranqed me...and then Sarah said something about being pregnant, and then they disappeared." Chuck hadn't processed what he'd just said as he was still a bit hazy from being tranqed.

"What? Sarah's pregnant?"

Chuck didn't reply. His mind was reeling with the events of last night. The fight.

"CHUCK."

"Wait what? Sarah's pregnant? What?"

"Well that's what you just told me." Ellie took a few seconds to survey Chuck's situation. "Chuck, I think you need some rest." Ellie led Chuck towards his apartment, helped him in and sat him down on the couch.

"She's gone, Ellie. She's gone." He lamented. "We had a fight last night...and then she said she was gonna go to the beach but before she made it out the door, she threw up...and then she left...she slammed the door...and I chased after her...and I heard her scream..."

Ellie decided to give Chuck some thinking space. She left him sitting on the couch. She suspected it might have been one of Chuck's nightmares. But...Chuck doesn't sleepwalk. How would he have ended up on the floor in the courtyard?

Ellie tried calling Sarah, but the call went to voicemail. Ellie decided to take a drive down to the beach to see if Sarah was there. But she wasn't. Chuck, bro, what have you done?

Chuck felt cold. Am I getting sick? He decided to put on a jumper. As walked into his and Sarah's closet, something bumped his leg. He looked down, and saw a foreign cardboard box at his feet. He picked the box up, set it on their bed and took the lid off. And then he saw it.

Oh Sarah. It was the black jacket, the red lingerie dress with the word 'baby' stitched on the front, the baby toys and the pregnancy tests. Sarah. He crumpled onto the bed.

"Chuck, why are you so stupid?" He scolded himself. She wore this jacket two nights ago. And then it hit him. She was going to tell me that night. But she didn't. Because...because I was an idiot and decided to take my anger out on her by giving her the silent treatment. He began to resent everything he did last night and the night before. She was so nice about it...and then last night, I had to blow up at her. Why Chuck, why? How can you be so insensitive?

He lay on their bed and patted the empty spot next to him. Where are you Sarah? Where are you?

Vivian made Sarah go through a couple of medical tests to confirm that she was really pregnant. They all came back positive. So she decided to make a deal with Sarah.

She decided to let Sarah return to Chuck. But, she couldn't go as herself - she was to go in a disguise. She gave Sarah a challenge. If Sarah was able to get Chuck to somehow elope with her, she could reveal her identity and they could live 'happily ever after'. However, if she couldn't get Chuck to elope with her, she'd be killed and she would take their baby away and raise it as her own. Vivian chose this challenge because she knew that it was virtually impossible for Chuck to agree to the request, because of his blatant reluctancy to elope, and because he was already married.

The guidelines didn't stop there. If Sarah revealed her identity to Chuck voluntarily, her baby would have to die at birth. Although Vivian didn't like hurting pregnant women, she had no problem with making babies suffer. She wanted Chuck to suffer as well. That was her main goal. Sarah didn't know how Vivian would be able to know if she'd told Chuck or not, but she wasn't going to risk anything.

Three weeks later

It'd been almost three weeks since Chuck and Sarah had seen each other. Chuck spent most of his time down at Castle using all the resources he had on hand to try to find Sarah. Once in a while, he'd go on a simple mission with Casey, but he tried to channel all his energy into finding his wife.

He'd finally found his dad about a week ago. They had a big family dinner. Mary Bartowski saw Stephen Bartowski for the first time in about 35 years. Chuck was happy that he'd found his dad, but at the same time, through the process of finding his dad, he'd lost his wife. It seemed as if his family could never be complete.

Sarah spent the past few weeks kept in captive by Vivian. Vivian wanted Sarah to create a cover and practice being her cover. Her cover name was Samantha Burton. (She'd chosen it in hopes that Chuck would see it as a clue and figure out who she really was.)

Her cover was British, and had straight shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. Sarah had to put on brown contacts and a brown wig. Vivian insisted she had to change her eye colour because her blue eyes would give her away straight away. And Vivian didn't want that. She hoped Sarah wouldn't succeed so she could make Chuck suffer even more.

It was the baby that kept Sarah going. At night, she would talk to it - it reassured her; it gave her hope.

Today was the day she was to return to Chuck. Her plan was to meet him at the Buymore, and introduce him to her cover. "Hey baby, we're going to go find daddy today." She smiled as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror and she rubbed her stomach. She was only about three months along but she'd already begun to show. "You're gonna be one big baby."

Chuck was at the Buymore, un-boxing boxes. Surprisingly, it took his mind off everything that was happening. As he prepared to start on his 15th box that afternoon, heard a voice coming from his left.

"Excuse me. Could you help me here?" The woman had a British accent.

Chuck looked up.

"I'm sorry. It's just, I can't reach." She pointed to the baby bottle-heating machine on the top shelf.

Chuck reached up and grabbed the box containing the machine. "Here ya go." He handed the box to her. The woman seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it. "You expecting?"

"Uhhh...yeah." She smiled at him.

Chuck smiled back. "My wife is too." He looked away.

"What's the matter?"

"I just...It's just...I don't..." He paused, then sighed. "Never mind. You won't get it. Well, my name is Chuck." He stuck out his hand.

"Sar..Samantha." Sarah almost let her real name slip, but she caught herself before she did. She took his hand and shook it. It felt good to be in his touch again, even though he probably had no idea who she was.
