THE NEXT DAY

It was about six in the morning before Chuck finally gave up on trying to sleep and grabbed his laptop instead and began working on some stuff for Carmichael industries. Chuck looked over at Sarah who was turned towards him. Her head was lying on the pillow while her hand rested over her stomach.

Chuck brushed her hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. He put his left hand on top of Sarah's and kept it there while he continued working. While writing up some new cases and dealing with the final funds for the company he noticed Ellie was trying to skype him. Clicking answer, he switched over the screen so he could talk to Ellie.

"Hey, Elle what's up? Chuck whispered, "Try to be quiet Sarah is sleeping next to me."

Chuck turned the laptop toward Sarah so Ellie could see.

"Nothing I was just got done with a video conference with another doctor for a big meeting coming up and noticed you were on. Is everything okay? Why aren't you sleeping?" Ellie questioned

"No, I'm fine. I just woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. Sarah's exhausted though." Chuck replied

"How is Sarah?"

"She's doing good, everything seems to be well and she was cleared for intense exercise in two weeks if she wants."

"That's good, I bet she's happy."

"She isn't getting back to it yet. She can get sore pretty easily, she still has to be pretty gentle with somethings unless she suffers through the pain. She says it's not too bad though. It's just uncomfortable. The doctor says that's fine though. Nothing will be damaged. She does need to be careful right now though. If she does anything that is too rough on her body, she could start hemorrhaging."

"That's still good news. How are her memories coming. I know the last time I asked she had most of her memories back."

"She is doing okay. Not much progress in memories though. She doesn't really remember some missions. The biggest is our wedding and Shaw. Also everything that happened when Quinn had her. I'm just worried, when she remembers the emotions and pain from that event come with. Her time with Quinn is uncounted for, I don't want her to be in pain. But, we have been going to a neurologist once a month to get her brain scanned and everything seems normal. Beckman ordered it and got the best CIA neurologist they have."

"What about that intersect that is still in your head?"

"So far nothing has gone wrong, the intersect is perfect and so is my brain. They are keeping it in there until they build a new one."

"Then why aren't you on missions? Don't they own you because of the intersect?"

"I don't think many people know besides those who have worked on the 'Bartowski Case.' I'm able to turn this one on and off when I want so I haven't flashed on anything; but, yes they could call me in to do field work, but Beckman has been respecting my wishes so far. She said she would only contact in an extreme emergency. Which could be next week."

"When did you figure out how to turn it off?"

Chuck turned to Sarah to make sure she was still asleep.

"It was when I started to flash on Sarah. She hasn't yet told me her whole past. She has tried but she can't bring herself to do it and I won't push her. I got to know a couple of things but I turned it off when it started showing me her CIA training. I'm not sure I want to see everything they did to my wife because I know it isn't good."
