A/N: Hi all, if you've been following this story there are probably a couple of things you'll want to know. Zondra got back to work. Interfacing with the local authorities she determined which clerk took a bribe and ratted out our newlyweds. The Italians did not take kindly to offending the President of the United States. That clerk will be spending many years in jail for accepting a bribe and aiding a foreign agent. If you break down the bribe he took versus his prison sentence, he made about two cents per month.

Now, as to how Shaw and Decker were able to get clearances to accomplish what they did, Zondra, working with multiple intelligence organizations, was able to root out the betrayers and plug those leaks. Oh, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that both deaths have been confirmed using DNA and dental records. However, documents found in the Ring's subway lab indicate that they were working on cloning, so it is possible that Shaw and Decker could show up again.

I'm afraid I can't tell you more than that, it's all highly classified, Top Secret, Eyes only, hush hush. If at some point the President decides to declassify the details, I'll fill you in. Until then, enjoy our heroes as they return to their lives.

Chapter 18:

Something Awful

Sarah, still in her nightgown, walks into the dining room of their penthouse condo on top of CI, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Chuck is sitting at the table his back to her. She stands behind him puts her arms around him and kisses his ear. "Hon you scared me. I rolled over to put my arms around you, and you were gone. What are you doing up? It's the middle of the night?"

Chuck shrugs but doesn't answer. Sarah moves around in front of him, she looks at his face, his eyes are red and swollen, there are tears on his cheeks. She immediately sits on his lap and pulls his head to her breast. "Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying? What's going on?"

Chuck starts to bawl, his chest heaving. He throws his arms around Sarah and pulls himself tighter to her. Sarah can feel her nightgown getting wet with his tears.

Sarah holds his head, "Chuck, please tell me what's going on. You're scaring the crap out of me. Whatever it is, we'll handle it together."

Chuck picks his head up, tears running down his cheeks, snot falling from his nose. Sarah picks up a napkin from the table and dries his eyes then wipes his nose. "Baby, you stared down the President. Whatever it is, it can't be scarier than that."

Chuck shakes his head hard, "Baby, I love you so much. I hate what I have to do to you. It's so awful, I don't know if I can do it to you."

Sarah takes his face in her hands, he averts his eyes, "To me? Baby, what the hell are you talking about? Why would you do something awful to me?"

Chuck picks his eyes up and looks in into Sarah's, "We have to go to Chicago."

Sarah shakes her head and gets a very puzzled look on her face, "Chuck, I'm confused. Why would going to Chicago be so awful for me? I love Chicago, they have great pizza."

Chuck pulls her in tight, once again burying his head into her breasts. "It's where Ellie and Devon live… She hates you. I mean, really hates you."

Sarah strokes his head, "OH! Yeah, I guess she would."

Chuck picks his head up, "Baby, I don't know what to do. I mean, we don't have a choice, she's, my sister. If you think I was hard on you… Baby, I don't know what to do."

Sarah lets out with a heavy sigh. Tears fall from her eyes as she buries her head in Chuck's neck. Her voice is muffled as she says, "Baby, am I ever going to stop hurting you? You're so good to me and all I do is bring you pain. I thought we left all this in Italy" She takes a deep breath, "I guess that was just wishful thinking. Come let's go back to bed, a good cuddle will help us think. We're always at our best when we work stuff out together."

Chuck stands up with her in her arms, "Sarah, you're wrong. You don't just bring me pain. You bring me more joy and happiness than I've ever known. Loving you is the smartest, best thing I've ever done. This is just life. I guess, maybe we have a little different life than most. But without you, it's no life at all." Chuck lays her down on the bed and snuggles up next to her. "We'll work it out. We always do. I have to be honest. It's going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. Baby, Ellie really, really hates you."

Sarah holds her secret husband tight and lets out a short laugh. Sarcastically she says, "Thanks Hon, I feel much better now."

Chuck kisses the top of her head, "Glad I could help."

Sarah snuggles in tight, "Chuck, you keep helping like that and you'll be spending a lot more time in the bathroom, practicing alone."

Chuck laughs, "You know that would worry me, but I happen to know that if I'm practicing alone, so are you."

Sarah rolls over and lies on top of Chuck, her head resting on his chest. "Never Baby, I won't let either of us be alone, ever again. I'll do whatever it takes to work things out with Ellie. She wouldn't get physical, would she?"

Chuck gently strokes her back, "Good question. I can tell you that Awesome took away her credit cards because she wanted to fly to Italy to kick your ass. Does that answer your question?"

Sarah lifts her head to look at him, "I guess I know how you felt with Z now."

Chuck shakes his head, "Nope, by comparison, Z was my best friend. That's why I'm so upset. Ellie is not quite as forgiving as me. You may recall she's a little overprotective. She makes mama hen look mellow. Here's the big question, let her know we're coming, or surprise her? In either case you should be wearing your Kevlar."

Sarah lays her head back down on his chest. His heart is beating wildly, "Baby, what are we going to do? What if I can't win her over? I'm really scared. I know how much she means to you. I would never want to cause trouble between you."

Chuck holds her head, "You may be scared, I'm terrified. I know you'll win her over. The only question is how long will it take? I want to marry you, again, soon." I mean we're getting married, my sister, Awesome, my niece, they need to be there. Chuck takes a deep breath, "Maybe Beckman will call with a crisis, and we can fight an entire army of aliens with death rays. That won't be nearly as scary."

Sarah laughs, "Stop it, I trust my husband. I know you'll make the right decision. You're all worried about Ellie, we haven't even been to the office yet. No one knows I'm back except Casey. How do you think Morgan will take it? I think Alex and Mrs. Sawyer will be happy for us, but Morgan. He was probably celebrating that I was gone, he got his buddy back."

Chuck lifts her by the chin so he can look at her, "Are you joking, he watched me mope around for two years. I spent no time with him. All I did was work, work out, and eat. The only person I spent time with was Casey when I was beating the crap out of him in the gym. That and whining that I couldn't live without you. He loved that part the most."

Sarah laughs hard, "I'll bet he did, lady feelings are his favorite. How come he doesn't hate me?"

Chuck lets her rest her head again, "Casey is Casey. He keeps his own counsel. Plus I never told him what happened between us, until we were in the Hornet flying to the Med. I never told anyone, they just knew you went to Italy, and I was miserable. Actually. Casey did find out from Alex and Mrs. Sawyer because you told them. He never let on that he knew. He just kept being there to hold me up. He was always on your side, our side. To be honest if he hadn't intervened on the Ford, I was going to have you removed. However, from what I understand, Beckman ordered him to get involved. I guess we have her to thank as well."

Sarah kisses Chuck on the chest, "Baby, I have a thought. Let's see how things go tomorrow. Remember one mission at a time. Maybe that will give us some insight as to how to approach Ellie."

Chuck pulls Sarah up so that he can kiss her. "Sweetheart I told you a lie, not deliberately. I did spend time with other people, the kids. When I would go to visit Ellie, I would spend most of my time with Clara, and the twins. The kids were the only ones that gave me even a little happiness. Baby, I love you so much. I don't think I can stand there, and watch Ellie go after you, but I love her too."

Sarah sighs, "I'm sorry Sweetheart. I'm sorry I put you in this position. Let's see what tomorrow brings, okay? Do you think you can get some sleep now? We may have a rough day tomorrow?"

Chuck grumps, "What's wrong with these people? Is this any way to treat members of the Mile High Club?"

Sarah laughs as she looks deep into Chuck's eyes. "I'm so in love with you. I hope my husband never finds out about you."

Chuck looks at her shocked. He rolls her over and gets on top of her, while she laughs her head off. "Is he bigger than me? Should I be worried?"

Sarah lifts the sheets and looks down, "Nope, nothing to worry about." She grabs his head and kisses him hard. "Make love to me Baby. He could come home any minute. He knows Kung Fu, and he's kind of crazy. He thinks he's Batman."

Chuck looks down at her face, "So you're saying you want to me to hurry up, and finish."

Sarah touches his cheek, "Recently, somebody I love and respect very much, told me that we have all the time we need. I believed you then, and I love you now. Now, hush and make love to your wife."

When morning comes Chuck wakes up to find himself in bed alone. Hearing a noise coming from the kitchen, he puts on a pair of sweatpants. He sneaks into the other room barefoot. He quietly peeks around the corner. Sarah is in a short robe standing at the stove. She doesn't turn, "Good morning, Sweetheart, hope you're hungry. I made us some nice omelets and turkey bacon. I'm glad you're eating healthy. Are you ready to sit?"

She turns to find Chuck staring at her, "How did you…?"

She smiles, "… Hear you? Still a spy Baby, just not getting paid for it anymore. Are you hungry?"

Chuck moves into the kitchen. Taking Sarah in his arms from behind, he kisses her neck. "I'll always be hungry for you, Sarah."

Sarah sighs, "Mmmm, I'm glad to hear that. Now sit down before our breakfast gets cold."

Chuck sits at the table and Sarah serves him, "Oh! So good, Baby. This is so much better than the last time you cooked for me."

Sarah looks at him, "Really, how's that?"

Chuck puts down his fork and takes her hand, "Because this time you're really my wife."

Sarah smiles, "I look forward to cooking for you all the time. You had better look forward to continuing those workouts with Casey. I don't want you getting fat on me."

Chuck leers, "Really? Well what is it you want me doing on you?"

Sarah looks shocked, "Chuck, I'm starting to think you married me just for the sex."

Chuck looks shocked right back, "Of course, why else would I marry you?"

Sarah's mouth falls open, "Mr. Bartowski, you have 3 seconds to amend that statement, before I kick your ass."

Chuck quickly stuffs his food in his mouth, "Can't talk, mouth full."

Sarah gets up, "That's it buster, you're cut off. No more Mrs. Bartowski for you."

Chuck grabs a piece of bacon and gets up, "What? You won't let me see my mother? That's just mean."

He runs for the bedroom, Sarah right behind, both of them laughing. Chuck gets to the bedroom and turns as Sarah catches up and pushes him on to the bed. She kisses him tenderly, "I'm glad you're feeling better sweetheart. I was worried about you."

Chuck strokes her hair. " I finally figured it out. As long as I have you, everything will be okay. So, are you ready to give Morgan, Alex, and Mrs. Sawyer heart attacks? Remember, we're just engaged."

Sarah rests her head on his chest. She pouts, "Baby, I don't want to take my ring off. Not now, not ever."

Chuck sighs, "Okay, then we won't. I would prefer not to lie anyway. We'll tell them the truth. We can still have our second first wedding for the family. I want you to be happy."

Sarah shakes her head, "No, it's not right. You keep giving things up for me. There has to be another solution." Chuck lies there holding his wife, thinking."

Suddenly he rolls Sarah off to the side, "I have it. I have the answer." He gets up and goes to his dresser. Opening a drawer he pulls a small box out. He rushes back to the bed and pulls Sarah to her feet, then kneels in front of her. "Sarah Bartowski, will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me again?" He opens the box and shows Sarah her engagement ring."

Sarah looks at it and starts to cry. "Baby, you saved my ring. You knew I'd come back. You knew." Chuck takes the ring and slides it on her finger. It covers her wedding band perfectly.

Sarah gets on her knees and kisses him hard. "I'm married to the best, most wonderful man on earth."

Chuck smiles and shakes his head, "Okay, but Sarah, if we're going to fool around, we better do it quick. He could be home any minute."

Sarah pulls him in for a kiss, "Maybe, but I'm already home."

Standing in the private elevator that goes to his office, Chuck turns to Sarah. "Baby, if that was the first morning of the rest of our lives, I can't wait until tomorrow. I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep, shower or eat without you, ever again. I'm sorry you rolled over, and I wasn't there. I don't think I've ever broken a promise to you before."

Sarah takes a deep breath, "Sweetheart, you didn't break your promise. You were there to hug me. I just had to look a little. Are you ready?"

Chuck swallows hard, "I hope so."

Leaving the elevator, they walk across the small vestibule to the private entrance into his office. Chuck puts his hand on the cipher lock to enter the combination. Sarah puts her hand over his, "Chuck, am I going to see anything that might upset me?"

Chuck sighs, "Maybe, Baby there are no pictures of you. The only one I keep, is in my case. I took it to the ship with me. I'm sorry Sarah, I just couldn't bear the pain of looking at you. It was all I could do to get you out of my head, long enough, to get some work done." Chuck smiles, "The good news is, now I can have pictures of you everywhere. Better yet, I can have you everywhere, and I fully intend to."

Sarah kisses his cheek, "I noticed there were no pictures at all in your residence."

Chuck shrugs as he enters his passcode, "I didn't really spend much time there. It felt … empty… until last night. You may want to save your energy to decorate your new house."

As he pushes the door open, Sarah grabs his arm, "That's OUR new house, mister."

Chuck pops tall and salutes, "Yes Ma'am! My mistake, Superior Spouse, Ma'am."

Sarah laughs and grabs his hand, "Come on I want to see your office. I hope the desk is large enough."

Chuck looks at her puzzled, "Large enough for what?"

Sarah smirks, "You'll find out. Maybe not today, but you'll find out. These doors do lock, don't they?"

Chuck smiles and nods. Walking behind his desk, he sits in his chair. He puts his finger to his lips and presses the intercom button. "Good morning Mrs. Sawyer."

A shrill voice, clearly excited, "Boss, you're back. When did you sneak in?"

Chuck smiles, "Got in last night. It's great to hear your voice Mrs. S. It's been a long week. Has Mr. Casey checked in yet?"

The response is immediate, "No sir, not yet."

Chuck puts his arm around Sarah and pulls her close to him. "He may still be in his residence. Could you track him down for me please. I need to see him privately. Then find the Grimes. I'll need to be caught up. Ask them to wait in your office. It won't be long. I'll let you know when I'm ready for them."

Chuck tightens his hold on Sarah and pulls her into his lap, "We have a few minutes. Kiss me wife. Oh crap, almost forgot. Hold that kiss." He reaches over and opens a drawer in his desk. He pulls something out and hands it to Sarah."

She stares at it, "What's this?"

Chuck looks surprised, "What, you've never seen a man's engagement ring? It's also a Shazam ring, see the lightning bolt. Morgan and I bought them at the Comicon in San Diego."

Sarah looks at the ring then at Chuck, "Does this mean you're engaged to Morgan? Are you two-timing me, or OH MY GOD! Am I your side piece?"

Chuck laughs, "Just put the ring on and ask me to marry you."

Sarah slips the ring on his finger, covering his wedding band, "Chuck Bartowski, will you marry me and make me the happiest woman on earth?"

Chuck kisses her hard, "Hmmm, can I think about it and get back to you?"

Sarah traces his cheek with one finger, "It's a shame you had to die at such a young age." The door opens and Casey walks in. Chuck signals him to close the door.

He takes in the scene, Sarah sitting on Chuck's lap. "Is there any chance you two are going to get tired of summoning me? Do I look like a friggin' genie?"

Chuck laughs, "We just figured you'd want to be here for this. Come over here, so you can get a good view." Casey walks around behind the desk.

Chuck presses the intercom button, "Mrs. S are the Grimes here yet?"

The answer comes back, "Yes Sir."

Chuck smiles like a little kid, laughing under his breath. "Why don't the three of you come in, so we can all get caught up."

The door opens, Morgan is the first one through. He freezes blocking the door. Alex pushes him. "Morgan come on, we haven't seen Dad and Chuck all week."

Morgan steps to the side, Alex and Mrs. Sawyer walk in. Alex screams. Running behind the desk pushing Casey out of the way. She pulls Sarah up and hugs her tight, still screaming.

Casey looks at her back, "I missed you too Sweetheart."

Chuck looks up, "Mrs. Sawyer, I'd like you to meet my fiancée, Sarah Walker. I believe you may have talked on the phone."

Mrs. Sawyer looks at him sideways, "Mr. B, did you say fiancée?" Chuck nods. Mrs. Sawyer screams and runs behind the desk to join the hug, pushing Casey aside once again.

Casey looks at Morgan, "Don't you get any ideas. You push me, I'll knock you on your ass."

Morgan holds his hands up, "I'll wait. Seems a little crowded right now."

Chuck is being pushed around as the ladies catch up, so he gets up and comes around the other side of the desk to hug Morgan. "Hey Buddy, good to see you. I've missed you."

Morgan points at Sarah, "Anything new happen while you were gone?"

Chuck shrugs and puts on a puzzled face, "Nothing special. Why do you ask?"

Morgan points with both hands at Sarah, "Well, DUH!"

Chuck shakes his head, "Oh her. She's old news. You wanna be my best man?"

Morgan backs up, "You disappear for a week, show up with Sarah, tell us she's your fiancée, again, and say she's old news? Give."

Casey walks up and puts his hand on Morgan's shoulder, "He can't tell you. Just be happy for your friend. How are my grandsons?"

Morgan turns and looks up at Casey, "They're good Dad, happy and healthy. If you want to see them, they're downstairs in the childcare center." Casey grunts and heads out the door.

Chuck puts his hand on Morgan's shoulder, "You know he really loves you. He also loves it when you call him Dad. He's right, I can't tell you a lot of what happened. I can tell you that he's proud of you and trusts you with Alex and the kids. If you promise not to ask any questions, I'll tell you something I'm not supposed to." Morgan nods his head. Chuck leans down and whispers in his ear, "He told the President that he's proud of you, and that he loves you."

Morgan's eyes go wide, "Are you shittin' me! I can't ask you any questions? Not one?"

Chuck shakes his head, still whispering, "Not one. I'll deny ever saying it. I broke about three laws telling you that."

Morgan puts his hand over his mouth and in a conspirational tone, "Does that have anything to do with Sarah being here?"

Chuck nods and shushes Morgan, as Mrs. Sawyer walks over to hug him. "Boss, she's lovely. I'm so happy for you." She pulls out a hanky and wipes away a tear then hugs him again. "I was so scared that I would never see you smile. I better get back to work. We didn't know when you would be back, so your calendar is clear. Mr. Grimes did a great job while you were gone. Oh I'm so happy for you." She hugs him again. As she walks out the door, "I have to call my son, he wanted to know when you got back safe."

Casey walks back into the office a grandson in each arm. "Ya did good Grimes. You get to live another day."

Sarah looks up, "Oh! Alex they're gorgeous. Can I hold them?"

Alex grins, "Good luck, once they see Uncle Chuck everyone else vanishes."

Abruptly the twins cry out, "Unca Chuck, Unca Chuck." they struggle to get out of Casey's arms, he puts them down and they run over and tackle Chuck to the floor. He rolls on the floor with them laughing and kissing them. The three of them giggling as the two boys swarm all over him.

Sarah wipes a tear from her cheek, "They love him."

Alex smiles, "Not nearly as much as he loves them, he's a great uncle." She puts her arm around Sarah. "You're a lucky woman, he's going to be a great dad. You're not going to tell us how you wound up together again, are you?"

Sarah smiles and shakes her head, "Sorry Alex, maybe I can tell you some stuff, but not everything. I can tell you he that saved my life, literally and metaphorically."

While Alex and Sarah chat, Chuck grabs hold of the twins and whispers in their ears. "You see that pretty lady over there, the one next to Mommy?" The boys nod. "That's your Auntie Sarah, the one I told you about. She loves to be hugged and tickled. Do you want to hug and tickle her?" The boys nod and struggle to get up. Chuck holds them tight. "Nope not gonna let you. You're all mine."

The boys are screaming with laughter, struggling. Finally he lets them go and they run to Sarah like they were shot out of a cannon. "Auntie Sarah we're gonna hug you and tickle you."

Sarah drops to her knees. She's knocked over as she's tackled by her new nephews. She doesn't care that her short skirt is riding up. Her laughter is louder than theirs.

Suddenly Chuck is on top of them. "Get her. Tickle your Auntie." The four of them are rolling on the floor laughing hysterically.

Morgan grabs one and Alex the other, "Thanks guys, now they'll be wired all day."

Chuck sits up, "Awwww, I wanna play."

Sarah sits up, "Yeah, me too."

Chuck shrugs, "Okay," he rolls on top of her and starts tickling her. Sarah screams, "No Chuck, stop, stop." The twins are screaming with laughter, struggling to get back in the fray. Chuck relents and stops tickling Sarah. He kisses her. Standing up, he offers her his hand.

Sarah takes it and stands up, "Alex how do you tell them apart?"

Alex laughs, "That's easy, the twins are the mature ones."

Sarah laughs, "Oh, well that does make it easier."

Chuck hears that and sticks his tongue out. He turns to the twins, "Do you like your Auntie Sarah?" The boys nod their heads enthusiastically. "You know what, I think she likes you too. Can I tell you a secret?" They nod again. "I think she brought you surprises back from a place called Italy. She told me, that if you behave for Mommy and Daddy, for the rest of the day. She's going to bring them to your house later. Now here's the best part. You get to tell us if Mommy and Daddy behaved, or they won't get their surprises." The boys laugh.

Sarah puts her hand to her throat, thinking, my God, he's wonderful with them. He may be the perfect man. Two days ago he almost killed a man in a rage. Today he's the gentlest, most loving... Chuck walks over and puts his arm around her waist. She turns and pulls his head down, kissing him warmly, "I am so in love with you Chuck Bartowski."

Casey clears his throat, "Ahem, kids in the room."

Sarah steps back smoothing her skirt, "Yeah sorry, he does that to me too. He makes everyone else vanish."

Chuck walks around and sits behind his desk again, "Okay team, we have a crisis, a mission, and a wedding to deal with. The crisis is a bad one, maybe the worst we've ever faced."

Morgan runs up, leans on the desk, "Don't worry Buddy. Whatever it is, we've got your back."

Chuck takes a deep breath, "I have to tell Ellie about Sarah. Morgan I'm going to need you on that one."

The room goes quiet. Sarah looks from face to face. All she sees is horror.

Morgan stands up, "Uh Chuck, sorry Buddy. I forgot to mention I have that thing I have to take care of."

Casey turns to Sarah, "Maybe Rizzo won't mind if you took your old job back. Do you think Italy is far enough. Look, if you don't go, be careful. Ellie is a nightmare with a frying pan?"

Sarah's hand goes to her throat, the fear apparent on her face. Alex goes over and puts her arms around her. "Guys back off, don't you think she's freaked out enough already?"

The twins run over to hug her legs Morgan Junior says, "Don't be sad Auntie Sarah, we love you."

Little John hugs her leg tight, "We make Unca Chuck happy when he's sad."

Sarah gets on her knees taking the boys in her embrace. Alex has her hand on her shoulder, "Wow boys, it works. I feel better already. I think you guys have magic hugs."

Chuck smiles, thinking, she's a natural. We have to get Molly back for her.

While Sarah occupies the twins, "Here's the mission: We need to track down a guy name of Ryker. He's a rogue CIA Agent who tried to…" Chuck looks at the kids, …"Tickle Sarah, years ago. By the way Shaw and Decker won't be bothering us anymore. Those of you that know, know. Sorry Alex, I can't say too much. That's to protect you as well as national security. Casey, I'd like you to take point on that."

Chuck walks over to Alex and hugs her, "It's good to see you again, I missed you. Alex for you I have the most important task of all. You'll be working with Sarah to plan our wedding with the First Lady."

The room goes quiet for a second time. Alex looks at him, "Excuse me Chuck. You mean Sarah isn't your first lady? I'm confused?"

Sarah is kneeling on the floor talking to the twins. She pulls on Alex's pant leg. Alex looks down and sees Sarah shaking her head. "Nope he means the First Lady. The one in Washington, DC."

Alex shrieks, "What the hell are you talking about? How? When…? What the hell are you talking about?"

Casey looks at Alex, "Watch your mouth young lady. There are children here, and the twins too."

Everyone laughs. Alex gets down on the floor and hugs Sarah, "Is this a joke? Are you kidding?"

Sarah hugs her back, the boys laughing as they get in on the hugs. Alex looks up, "Dad, Morgan, could you watch the boys for a minute? I need totalk toSarah." Casey and Morgan each grab a twin. Alex helps Sarah up, "Okay spill. What are you saying?"

Chuck interrupts, "Okay people, Sarah, Casey, and I have to get together and figure out what we can tell you. But yes, we are getting married. The President and First Lady are paying for the wedding and the President may officiate. That's all we can say for now. Please respect our responsibility to the government and the fact that we don't want to wind up in jail. For the moment, please keep this to yourselves, consider it classified. We need to deal with Ellie and Ryker first."

Morgan, do you have anything going on this morning that can't wait. I need your brain and encyclopedic knowledge of Eleanor Faye Bartowski Woodcomb."

Morgan heads towards the door, MJ in hand. "Let me talk to Mrs. Sawyer. See if I can't move some stuff around."

Chuck turns to Casey who's working to restrain a wriggling twin. He doesn't like that his brother is being taken away from him. "John, you know who you need to call, I want results." Casey nods, "On it Boss" and walks out with LJ in his arms.

"Alex, you, and Sarah go catch up. I have to get with Mrs. Sawyer and catch up. Be aware of where you're talking. Maybe you could use my, I mean, our apartment. Alex needs to approve the toys we got for the kids anyway. Sarah, do I have to remind you to be careful with what you say?"

Sarah walks over and kisses Chuck, then whispers in his ear. "Yes husband, I'll be careful. You'd better keep in mind, that's there's a woman waiting for you, who wants to ravage your body."

Chuck laughs, "So you are marrying me for the sex."

Sarah's face goes full red, "Charles Irving Bartowski, how dare you… tell everyone that I lust after you. Even if it's true." Sarah kisses him again and joins Alex at the door.

The Ladies walk out talking and laughing. Morgan walks in two minutes later, "Okay Pal, I gave MJ to Alex. I'm all yours for the next two hours. Let's talk about Ellie, and how we can keep her from killing Sarah."

A/N Just a quick note to my loyal readers, I hope I'm still keeping you entertained. I've gotten some great reviews guessing about what's coming next, some of you have been dead on, others, not so much. Sorry, Chuck won't be selected for a moon mission. However, the intersect does have the files on how to fly it, so who knows. Keep reading, let me know what you like and what you want to see more of. Oh! also there's a wedding coming, so tell me loyal readers, sweet and loving or interrupted by bad guys. I'm leaning towards sweet. I don't want to copy Ellie's wedding.
