Chuck Versus the Book

Chuck Versus Chapter X

There was a small knock on the front door of Chuck's apartment. Chuck rushed to the door still holding a screaming Clara. Chuck opened the door relieved to see that it was Sarah.

"Here, come in." Chuck said as he motioned toward the living room

Chuck shut the door behind her and walked over toward Sarah.

"Chuck, what have you been doing, it looks like a bomb exploded in here!" Sarah said looking around the room in pure shock

"Well, I've tried to give her different types of food. She refused to eat anything, and she has thrown her bottle several times. Her toys and blankets are everywhere and now I can't find the diaper bag." Chuck said sounding exhausted

"Here, hand me her." Sarah said

Chuck then handed the baby to Sarah and she proceeded to try and calm the baby down.

"Does she have a blanket that she is fond of?" Sarah asked

"Oh, yah, she threw that too, and that is also lost." Chuck replied

Sarah walked down the hall and opened a towel closet and grabbed a soft blanket that was on the bottom shelf. She placed Clara on the blanket and wrapped her in it. She then cradled the baby softly with Clara's head near Sarah's shoulder. Sarah bounced her back and forth while rubbing the baby's head. Clara soon started calming down.

"Did she have a bath already?" Sarah asked

"Yah, why?" Chuck said

"Well she is covered in food and she has milk in her hair." Sarah replied looking at Chuck questionably

"Well, that's probably from trying to calm her down." Chuck said

"Well I am going to give her a bath real quick if I may, and you can go work on something if you want." Sarah offered

"Uh, are you sure cause I can-

"No it's fine, it won't be long." Sarah said as she proceeded toward the bathroom

Chuck went to his room and grabbed his laptop off of his bed. He opened up files for Carmichael industries and started updating their website. Sarah headed to bathroom and turned on the water that flowed into the bathtub. She placed Clara and began shampooing the baby's soft hair. She then washed the rest of her body and dried her off, placing her in a different pair of pajamas. Sarah carried Clara into the living and gave her a bottle of warm milk to help her fall asleep. Sarah lied down on the couch with Clara on her chest wrapped in a blanket. Chuck was still in his bedroom working and slowly fell asleep.

Chuck woke up the next morning and walked out into the living room. Sarah was holding Clara, who was still asleep, and was looking at old pictures that were around the house. Chuck knew that Sarah wasn't supposed to be looking at pictures, since that is what Ellie said, but at this moment he didn't care. Sarah turned towards him and looked him straight in the eye.

"I remember this." Sarah said holding up a picture of her and Chuck. Sarah had her arms around Chuck's neck and Chuck was holding her up. They were outdoors and they looked happy together.

"You remember that?" Chuck asked while looking astonished

"Yah, they were our engagement pictures. I remember really well, it's like the memory never went away. I remember how I felt and what I saw. I remember that I love you." Sarah said while a tear rolled down her cheek.

Sarah placed Clara down in a bassinet and looked at Chuck. He was pursing his lips together like he always does when he is happy.

Sarah started, "I remember that day, we had that photographer named Daniel or David or something like that. He made us do all kinds of weird poses and stand in weird positions. He uh, made the pictures turn out great though. You know I remember our first mission together. We went to a meeting where there were lots of people. The waiter had a bomb in a food cart. You disabled it using that Irene Demova virus. I remember when we uh, thought we only had a few seconds to live, and I uh, kissed you and you kissed me back, and we didn't ever talk about it for weeks. Then Bryce and me got back together and you were super jealous, and then you started dating this other girl, and I became jealous. I remember when we started looking for your dad and you discovered things you never knew about him. I remember taking down the ring with you and how Shaw kidnapped me and you saved me. I remember I was drugged and I was about to be thrown off a bridge and you shot him. You shot him to save me. And that's when I knew for sure that I truly loved you. Then we ran away from the CIA, but just got thrown back in basically. I remember when, uh, Shaw killed your dad and how you were devastated. I remember moving in with you and how I wouldn't unpack for over 6 months. Then you had the intersect taken out and then you got kidnapped and I had to get you from Thailand. I remember you talking about kids and how I freaked out, and I remember when you tried to propose on the balcony and I was put into Volkolf industries. But you did eventually propose when we were at the hospital while Ellie was in labor. Chuck I remember so much, but most importantly, I remember you. I remember how much you care about me and how much I care about you. I love you Chuck."

Chuck hugged Sarah and then she did the unthinkable. She kissed him and he kissed her back.
