"What did you say?" Chuck asked
"I'm sorry Chuck, I didn't mean to tell you like this. I kept thinking there would be a right time to tell you, but I just, I don't know. This is just so stressful. I haven't been feeling well, I've been super depressed. I don't have any recolution of the last year, let alone wanting a child. I barely remember getting engaged and here I am, married to a man for over a year, and pregnant with a child. I just don't know what to do." Sarah replied as she started to cry
"Oh honey..." Chuck said as he walked toward Sarah He grabbed Sarah gently and pulled her close. He put one hand on her back and the other on her head. He held her close while he rubbed her back. He let her stay there while tears stained his shirt. Chuck kissed her head as a tear fell down his cheek as well. He hated to see his wife so upset.
"It's okay sweetheart. I'm not upset, and I'll be honest with you; I don't know what your going through, but I'm here, and you're safe I promise." Chuck said soothingly
"What am I supposed to do, I don't anything about being a mother, I don't know how to raise a child! I didn't have a good father I never was around my mother, I barely even know how a woman gives birth how am I supposed do this. Honestly Chuck, I didn't even know I could get pregnant. I've been on so many missions I have gotten shot and tortured and beaten, I didn't know if my body could handle much more. Here I am though, I'm pregnant" Sarah cried
"It's okay, we will just take this one step at a time okay. Everything will be fine." Chuck said soothingly
"You don't know that, it's so hard. I'm just extremely confused." Sarah said now starting to calm down
"Well, I know you don't remember anything, I understand it must be really hard, so the choice is yours." Chuck said taking a deep breath, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you mean?" Sarah said while Chuck stared at the floor. Chuck looked down at his hand and played with his thumbs. He then looked up at Sarah and pursed his lips together.
"Do you want to keep it?" Chuck asked trying not to show the sadness in his eyes. Sarah put her head down while her mouth lay slightly open. She turned away before pursing her lips together and tapping her foot slightly that it was barely noticeable.
"You don't have to answer right now." Chuck said while rubbing her arm.
"I will give you some time." Chuck took his hand off her shoulder and got up. He looked back at Sarah who was still looking at the ground. A soft tear fell from her eye as Chuck looked at her. Chuck pursed his lips together once again and decided to leave Sarah alone for a bit. With that, Chuck left the room.
"Chuck what's wrong?" Ellie asked on the other line of the phone
"It's Sarah..." Chuck continued holding back the tears
"Chuck what's happened?" Ellie asked sounding worried
"When you took Sarah to the hospital, did Sarah tell you anything surprising?" Hey questioned
"No..." Ellie responded
"Well, she said she wanted to talk to me after work today, so I come home from work, and I couldn't find her so I went to the bedroom and she was pacing. That's when I knew something serious was up. She asked me to sit down, and then I started jumping to serious conclusions; but what she told me what more serious than I thought."
"Chuck is Sarah okay?"
"Ellie she's pregnant." Ellie took a deep breath before answering.
"Okay, what did you say?" She asked
"I asked what she wanted to do." "Meaning..."
"I asked if she wanted to keep it."
"Chuck..."
"I know el."
"What did she say?"
"She hasn't said anything for two days now. She staying at her apartment and hasn't called or texted once. I haven't even seen her. What do I do."
"Well, Chuck, this is your baby too, my advice, decide this together."
"Thanks El, and uh please don't tell anyone, I don't need the peanut gallery, meaning Morgan, to know right now." Chuck said
"I understand." Ellie answered,
"love you."
"Love yah too."
"Yo Chuck, what's up?" Morgan asked as he rand down the main aisle of the buy more.
"Nothing much." Chuck said
"How Sarah?"
"She good, haven't heard from her for a while but her memory seems to be coming back."
"Yah how much?"
"Well think of our life as a TV show, season one starting the day we met, each year being a new season. Sarah is in season 4 about episode 5. Somewhere around there."
"Oh that's good, does she remember that she loves you?" Morgan asked "I'm not sure buddy, I'm not sure."
It was almost midnight when Sarah called. Chuck wasn't anticipating it, in fact, he didn't even look who the caller was. But when he picked up the phone and heard the sweet voice on the other end, he recognized it immediately.
"Hey Chuck." Sarah said
"Hey, what do you need." Hello asked
"I umm, I uh, I want this baby Chuck." Sarah responded
"..."
"Chuck?"
"Thanks you Sarah." Chuck said as a tear fell down his face.
"One more thing, open your front door." Sarah said as she hung up. Chuck set the phone down and slowly paced toward the door. He opened it and there stood Sarah. She was beautiful as ever and she was smiling.
"I love you Chuck." Chuck opened his mouth to respond but before he knew it she grabbed his face and kissed him. He grabbed her waist gently as he pulled her close. He shut the door and continued kissing her. It was that night that Chuck welcomed his wife home.
