Anyways, without further ado, here is the next chapter of Chuck vs the Dads. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck.

One Month Later

Westside Hospital, 2:30 pm

Sarah sat in the waiting room and tapped her foot nervously. Where is Chuck?

The doctor had to move her appointment back half an hour because of an emergency, but now there was only 5 more minutes until her turn. Chuck was supposed to be here 25 minutes ago. He couldn't have forgotten, could he? I mean, he'd never forget something like this.

She picked up her phone for the umpteenth time in the past hour and dialled Chuck's number. She waited, but once again, he didn't pick up.

She placed the phone on her lap and began toying with the hem of her blouse. She was about 4 months pregnant now, and stretched over her growing stomach, it was barely able to cover her midriff. Oddly enough, she was nervous. Nervousness was still a rather foreign feeling to her. She never used to get nervous; not even when she went on missions. It was only after she met Chuck that she started feeling such emotions. Chuck not being there made her even more anxious.

She stared at the second hand on the clock opposite her. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. This being her first ever appointment with an OB/GYN, she didn't really know what to expect. She never got the chance to ask Ellie what it was like. At this point in time, all she hoped for was that there wouldn't be any complications.

Slowly, her mind drifted back to Chuck. Is he alright?

Ellie was on her way to her office when she saw a bunch of nurses rushing down to the ER. They were chatting amongst themselves. Ellie didn't mean to eavesdrop, but she heard snippets of their conversation as they passed her.

'What happened?'

'The driver lost control, and the car swerved onto the pavement, crashed into a man, then into the wall.'

'The man?'

'6"4, brown hair, blue collared shirt, converses...his last name sounds familiar...'

Ellie had a bad gut feeling about this. The description that nurse gave...it sounded somewhat like Chuck. She was about to pull out her phone when she remembered that Chuck and Sarah had an appointment with the OB/GYN today, around now. She immediately rushed down to the Obstetrics & Gynaecology department.

When she got there, she saw Sarah sitting by herself in the waiting room, staring at her phone. She slowly approached her. 'Hey Sarah.'

Sarah looked up. 'Ellie. Hi.'

'How are you feeling?'

'A little nervous.' Sarah looked down at her fumbling hands on her stomach then back to Ellie. 'Well...okay...maybe a bit more than a little nervous.'

Ellie let out a small laugh. 'It's okay. I felt the same before my first appointment.' She tried to console Sarah, but Sarah didn't look any more at ease. Ellie took a glance around the room, looking for Chuck. 'Where's Chuck?'

'Umm...actually...he hasn't arrived yet. I've called him at least 10 times in the past hour...but he hasn't picked up...Ellie, do you think he's alright? I mean...he always answers my calls and he's never late...'

Ellie froze. 'Ellie, is something wrong?' Sarah was worried.

Ellie opened her mouth and was about to speak when she stopped herself. She didn't want to get Sarah's hopes down. I mean, she wasn't sure whether the person the nurses were talking about was really Chuck.

Sarah got up and stood right in front of Ellie. Ellie saw the worry etched in Sarah's face. She couldn't. She couldn't tell her until she knew more about the situation. 'I'm sorry Sarah. I have to go find out more before I can tell you.' Out of the corner of her eye, she eyed one of the ER nurses walking by. She immediately pulled her aside and began questioning her. Sarah followed after Ellie, desperate for more information. They'd strayed about half way down the corridor when Sarah heard someone calling her name.

'SARAH.'

She swivelled around as fast as her belly and the extra weight she was carrying would allow her to, and saw Chuck running towards her.

'Sarah.' When he got to her, he pulled her in for a tight hug. 'Hey baby, sorry I'm late', he said into her hair.

When they pulled apart, she saw a couple of small scratches and a light bruise on his face.

'Chuck, what happened?' Sarah was concerned.

'Nothing.' He didn't want Sarah to worry; besides, wasn't really that hurt.

Their turn finally came. As they walked into the doctor's office, Chuck could sense that Sarah was nervous. He gave her a reassuring smile, and squeezed her hand. She melted at his smile and his touch, and it helped her calm down a bit.

The OB/GYN asked them some general questions to begin with, then asked Sarah to lie down on the examination table for the ultrasound. Chuck could feel Sarah's grip tighten on his hand. 'Babe, it's going to be okay.'

Sarah replied with a nervous smile. Chuck brought Sarah's hand to his lips and kissed it. 'Relax.'

The OB/GYN lifted Sarah's shirt to expose her stomach. She proceeded to spread some gel on it, then flipped on the ultrasound machine. She placed the wand on Sarah's stomach and moved it around, repositioning it until the screen displayed an image.

'Oh, look, there's two.'

'Two?' Chuck questioned.

'That's right. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Bartowski. You're expecting twins.'

Chuck looked at Sarah and saw a large grin forming on her face. Chuck had to fight every urge to kiss Sarah because the OB/GYN was still explaining things to them. And it would have been pretty awkward for the OB/GYN.

'They both look healthy, and are developing well.' She then wiped the gel off Sarah's stomach and helped her pull her shirt back down. 'I just need to pop out to get the printout of the ultrasound.'

Once the door shut, Sarah sat up, and Chuck brought his lips to hers for a long and loving kiss.

They stayed like that for the whole two minutes the doctor was gone. When they heard the door opening, they reluctantly pulled apart.

Chuck draped his arm around Sarah as they walked out of the doctor's office. As they walked out, they saw Ellie sitting in the waiting area, reading a magazine.

Ellie looked up as the couple approached her, put the magazine down and stood up. 'How was it?'

'Good.' Sarah grinned.

'Yup.' Chuck grinned along with his wife.

'So...?'

Chuck and Sarah began whispering amongst themselves.

'You tell her.' He whispered into her ear.

'No, you tell her.'

'You sure?'

'Yup.'

'Guys.' Ellie was frustrated, because she wanted to know. 'Details.'

'Umm...El...' Chuck grinned even wider. 'We're having twins.'

Ellie let out the largest squeal possible as she pulled both of them into what was possibly the tightest hug she'd ever given.

'Oh my gosh!' She gushed. 'This is great! Clara will be so happy!' Ellie went on for another 5 minutes before she was paged for a job.

After Ellie left, Chuck took Sarah's hand and led her towards the exit. 'Let's go home and...' He gave her the Bartowski eyebrow dance. '...celebrate.'

Back at the apartment, Chuck set out to make his famous chicken pepperoni, whilst Sarah sat on the sofa in front of the TV, watching the news.

She loved putting her hands on her stomach and feeling the baby move. No. Babies. There were two little lives in there. 'Hey babies. Can you hear me? It's mommy. I love you.'

Chuck watched Sarah from the kitchen. He smiled at the cute scene. He knew that Sarah was going to be the best mom ever. He just hoped he would be able to match up to her.

Something caught Sarah's eye on the television.

'A man was seriously injured when he lost control of his car near Westside Hospital this afternoon. The car ran onto the pavement and grazed a passer-by. The 35-year-old driver is in recovery; the passer-by managed to get by with just a few scrapes and bruises.'

When they played the footage, she saw that the man that got grazed looked rather like Chuck.

'Chuck?' She called for her husband.

'Almost done.'

'Come here.' Chuck left plates on the counter and walked over to where Sarah was sitting.

'Is this you?' She pointed to the screen, where the footage was still playing.

'Umm...' His smile faltered as he took a seat next to Sarah.

Sarah knew from his tone that he was trying to conceal something.

'Chuck...'

'Yes it was.' He blurted out.

She fingered the bruise that had formed on his forehead. 'Why didn't you tell me?'

'Well...I didn't want you to worry.'

'Well, I want to. I want to share your burdens. So tell me the whole story.'

'If you insist.'

Sarah crossed her legs and shifted so she sat sideways on the couch, leaning on the arm of the couch, facing Chuck.

'The story starts with this.' He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small navy box. He opened it to reveal a charm with the letters 'C' and 'S' intertwined together. He put the box in Sarah's hands.

'I was going to give this to you after dinner...but...I pre-ordered it a couple of weeks ago at the jewellery store near the hospital. I went to collect it before our appointment, but when I got there, they were still putting the finishing touches on it. And it took forever...he finished 5 minutes before our appointment time. And so I paid for it and ran over to the hospital...and then...' He gestured to the TV. 'That happened.'

Sarah was lost for words. She fingered the charm in her hands. Chuck watched her, in anticipation for her response.

'So...what do you think?'

Sarah looked up and into his eyes. 'I think...it's beautiful. But you didn't have to do that for me. It's not worth getting hurt for.'

Chuck just smiled at her. He took the charm out of the box and clasped it onto the charm bracelet on Sarah's wrist.

Sarah smiled back at Chuck. 'Thank you.' She whispered. She brought her hand to his face. 'Let me kiss your boo-boos.'

After dinner, they showered and sat together in bed, with Chuck leaning against the backboard of the bed, and Sarah leaning on Chuck nestled in between his legs. They were just having a conversation about...well...life.

'OOO.' Sarah suddenly let out a small squeal. She grabbed Chuck's hand and placed it on her stomach, where she felt the kick. Chuck laughed.

'That was a hard one.' She said.

Chuck found it really amazing and all, how there were two little lives inside of Sarah, both made up of half him and half Sarah.

They sat in a comfortable silence as they Chuck tried to trace down the babies' kicks. He eventually gave up and resorted to drawing light circles on Sarah's stomach, which actually helped calm the babies down.

After a while, Chuck piped up. 'Do you know how much I love you, Sarah?'

'A little.' Sarah giggled – Chuck loved listening to her giggle. It was so...girly.

'Nope.' Chuck replied as he smiled.

'Fine. A lot.'

'Nope again.'

'Then what?' She turned her head upwards to look at him.

'So much my heart can't contain my love for you.'

Sarah felt her eyes tearing up.

'And you know what they say about being in love?' Chuck continued. 'If you love someone, you never stop, you never go too far. And I'm glad I didn't stop. And I'm glad you didn't give up on me as well, or else we wouldn't have what we have now.'

He wiped a stray tear off her face with the pad of his thumb.

'You know, today was one of the happiest day of my life...aside from meeting you and marrying you...and despite the accident and everything. And just now, when you were perched in front of the TV, talking to the babies...our babies...and when you kissed my bruises and cuts...I know we're never going to be a normal family...but I know you're going to be the best mom ever.'

Sarah brought her lips to Chuck's and kissed him. Boy she loved him.

A/N: Sarah didn't get the chance to deal with her parents, but I promise it'll be in the next chapter (:
