A/N: Hey guys, I finally managed to get this chapter done.

Thanks for all your reviews: it made me wanna write faster knowing that there are people out there are are anticipating the next chapter (I know how it feels like to be left with a cliffhanger...or just an unfinished story).

Hope you enjoy (:

I apologize in advance for any mistakes there may be...and I do not own Chuck.

A week later.

Sarah reluctantly let Chuck go on the mission with Casey whilst she stayed at home with her mom and sister. Jack and Emma's divorce was put on hold, as Sarah refused to pick a side to support, believing it was absurd for one to be able to do so.

Sarahs spent time hanging out with Molly and her mom. Of course, they couldn't leave the house together for fear of being spotted, but they had fun at home.

Molly loved spending time with Sarah, despite the large age gap and the fact that they'd never really spent any time together before. They baked, cooked, watched movies, and played games.

Sarah was having a blast, but of course, she was worried about Chuck. She missed him. They'd call each other at least once a day, sometimes at least twice or even three times. But, because of the time difference, they sometimes missed each other's calls and it went to voicemail.

The mission was going well so far. They had tabs on Ryker and his men. They planned to capture him and hand him over to the CIA, and let the CIA deal with him from there on out.

Molly decided that she wanted to cook a surprise dinner for Sarah that night, and so Sarah was banished from the kitchen and the living room area for the afternoon.

Sarah decided to take shis opportunity to clean out her computer. Her computer was running low on space, and she wanted to download a couple of things. So, she settled herself on her bed – it took a while with her growing stomach, but she finally found a position that was comfortable – and went about with the task of cleaning out her computer.

After a while, she stumbled upon a folder entitled 'Chuck - Classified'. She was confused as to why she had given this folder such a name. Upon clicking on the folder, she found a video. Curious to see what it entailed, she double clicked on it.

Look, Sarah, I know, I know you're probably very hurt. You're hurt because I didn't run away with you in Prague. I'm sorry. You have to know that you were everything I ever wanted.

Sarah paused the video. Tears were involuntarily running down her cheeks. She grabbed a tissue off the nightstand and wiped the tears off her cheeks before pressing play.

And I chose to be a spy for my friends and my family and you. I chose to be a spy because Sarah, I love you.

The video stopped with a shot of Chuck staring at the door. She felt a hitch in her throat. Who could imagine that after all these years, he could still have such an effect on her?

She gently placed a hand on her stomach as she tried to blink back the tears. 'I love you too, Chuck. Come home safe. I don't know what I would do without you.'

Casey and Chuck completed the mission with great success. They were scheduled to leave Budapest the following morning local time, but Casey sent Chuck home on an earlier flight, saying that he could tie things up himself in Budapest. Chuck was eternally grateful – he was dying to see Sarah. He wondered if her stomach had grown any bigger. After all, it was twins, and they grow at an exponential rate. Aside from wanting to see the changes, he simply missed her.

When he reached LAX, it was about 7:00pm local time. He hailed a cab home. It took about an hour, because of the traffic, and because he made a detour to the ice crea parlour to get some rocky road ice cream. When he finally got home, it was about 8:00pm.

He hadn't called Sarah yet. He wanted to surprise her – or at least he hoped he'd be able to. He walked into the courtyard with his luggage in tow. When he reached the front door of the apartment, he got his keys out and quietly let himself into the house. He pulled his stuff in behind him and shut the door.

When he turned around, he saw Molly and Emma lounging on the sofa. They must have just finished dinner. Molly came running towards him. 'Hi – '

Chuck cut her off before she could finish her sentence. 'Shh.' He pulled her in for a big bear hug, then whispered something in her ear. 'Molly, can you be real quiet for me? I want to surprise Sarah.'

When he let go of her, he saw that she had a big smile on her face. She ran back to Emma, and whispered something into her ear. Emma then motioned for Chuck to walk towards her. When he was close enough to hear, she whispered, 'She's in the shower.'

Chuck gave her a thumbs up before heading off to the bedroom, with his luggage and the ice cream in tow.

When he got to the room, he set his luggage down to one side, and put the ice cream down on the computer table. He saw that there was an open laptop on the bed. Sarah must have been watching a movie or doing some research or something.

Chuck still hasn't called yet. His plane is due to take off soon - he promised he'd call before he left Budapest.

Sarah quickly finished up her shower and threw some pajamas on. At this point in her pregnancy, she no longer felt like wearing lacy lingerie or tank tops. All she wanted to wear were Chuck's shirts. They were big enough to cover her belly, and were also extremely comfortable. They also smelt of Chuck, which was a bonus.

She walked towards her bedroom, with a towel in her hand, drying her hair. When she reached the room, she saw the very person she'd been thinking about the whole week – Chuck.

She froze, with one hand still holding the towel to her hair, and the other one covering her mouth.

'Sarah.' Chuck breathed as he stood up and made his way towards her.

'You're home.'

Chuck lay his hand on Sarah's cheek and moved her hand away from her mouth. He leaned in for a kiss. As he captured her lips, she responded eagerly.

When they finally broke, Chuck smiled. 'Surprise.'

'You had me worried – you promised you'd call. And wasn't your flight supposed to arrive tomorrow morning?'

'Casey's tying things up back in Budapest. He sent me home early, because he knew I couldn't stand being away from you another day. And – ' Chuck paused for a dramatic effect. He scooted backwards towards the computer table, where the brown bag was. He picked it up, and scooted back towards where Sarah was. 'I bought you some ice cream. Rocky road. Your favourite.'

Sarah grinned. She moved closer to Chuck as she began to pepper kisses on lips. 'Oh...I love you.'

After a few seconds, she pulled away and grabbed the bag out of Chuck's hands. She plopped herself down on the bed, with her back leaning on the bedrest. She scooted over, and patted the spot next to her. 'Come.' She beckoned.

'Wait. Let me take a quick shower and change into something more comfortable.'

Sarah pouted.

'Babe, a few minutes. I promise. I'll make is super super quick. Besides, you wouldn't want some stinky dirty person to next to you on the bed, would you?

'Fine. But...' She motioned to her belly. 'We're waiting.'

Chuck showered and changed in record time. 2 minutes 30 seconds. Before Sarah knew, he was already back at her side, sitting on the bed beside her.

Whilst Chuck was showering, Sarah had already made a start on the ice cream.

'Hey, no fair.' Chuck joked.

'Your fault.' Sarah replied giggling, as she pulled the carton closer towards her.

'Fine. Not talking to you.'

He slid down so his face was level with her petruding stomach. 'Hey guys, your mommy is being mean to me. She's not letting me have any ice cream.'

He then saw a spoonful of ice cream appear in front of his face. He moved towards it, but Sarah pulled it away and teased him with it for a while before finally letting him have the spoonful.

He sat up so he was level with Sarah once more. 'You cheeky lady.' He saw that she had some ice cream smeared on the tip of her nose. He took his finger and swiped the ice cream off her nose and licked his finger with his tongue.

Sarah giggled, then offered him another spoonful of ice cream. This time, he was able to get to it on the first try. After he swallowed the mouthful of ice cream, he leaned in for a kiss.

The kiss tasted a lot like rocky road ice cream. A bit of sweetness from the chocolate, some fluffiness from the marshmallows and a bit of crunchiness from the nuts.

Sarah tried to set the ice cream carton down as they deepened the kiss, but in the process of doing so, she hit the space bar on the keyboard of her laptop that was still sitting on the bed.

Look, Sarah, I know, I know you're probably very hurt.

Upon hearing Chuck's voice coming out through the speakers of the laptop, they broke this kiss and turned to face the laptop. Chuck reached out and grabbed the laptop off the bed and placed it on his lap so he and Sarah both had a view of the screen.

You're hurt because I didn't run away with you in Prague. I'm sorry. You have to know that you were everything I ever wanted. And I chose to be a spy for my friends and my family and you. I chose to be a spy because Sarah, I love you.

They sat in silence for a couple of seconds. Then Chuck turned to look at Sarah. He saw that she was smiling, but she had a couple of tears running down her cheek.

'How-how do you have this?' He asked.

'I was cleaning out my computer and I found it. Carina gave it to me a long time ago.' She wiped away a stray tear, and chuckled. 'No matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me cry.'

He set the computer on his nightstand and wrapped his arms around Sarah, pulling her close so they were sitting side by side, with their backs leaning on the backrest of the bed.

'I missed you.' Sarah said softly.

'I did to.' He brushed back her hair and planted a kiss on her forehead.
