Sarah vs The Life Unexpected Ch 16, It’s About Time

A/N 1: Some of you were so close as to figuring out what was going on. In fact a couple actually nailed my original idea, but in the end I decided this was necessary. I hope you'll see why when we get there.

A/N 2: Oh, you're back. So nice to see you. By continuing you have agreed that you are in a part of the Chuck fanfiction universe we refer to as the AU Mollyverse. I know what you're thinking. Why doesn't he shut up so we can see if they are married are not? That's a good idea. Thank you for the love and reviews, and I give you Ch 16 It's About Time

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck, and some say marriage is an institution, that or my wife is trying to get me committed to one…I'm not sure which…

Sarah looked down at the table waiting for everyone to file in. It was Thursday afternoon, they had just gotten back in for the day. She was looking at the ring on her finger that would be used during their mission, the one to take place in a few hours with Chuck. She looked over at the ring on his finger for the mission, and then up at him. He looked a little nervous, which was understandable, being it was his first mission. They were sitting in the conference room quietly. It was a comfortable silence. His hand reached out, and she held it. She gave it a little squeeze in case he needed reassurance. They were going to beat Bryce to the computer info, and maybe then he would believe them. Not that either of them cared, but it killed Sarah how little Chuck's friend seemed to think of him sometimes.

"We need to get two more car seats," Chuck said, staring off at a wall, lost in thought. He turned to look at Sarah.

"Maybe this weekend we can try and get the crew together to move what few things are left in my apartment to our house," Sarah added. Chuck nodded, grinning. She returned the grin. There was something about that nerd that just made her insides do things. She had seen men all around the world in her CIA days, but none of them made her insides do what Chuck Bartowski did with just one look.

"Get the new SUV bought?" Carina asked as she walked in.

"Yes," Sarah answered rather excitedly.

"What took so long?" Carina asked, watching the two as they answered.

"Well, we didn't want to dress up to well when we went to the dealership, so we went home and changed," Sarah answered.

"Oh, tell the truth Sarah, you took it for a ride now that it's yours," she said, brining her coffee cup up to her lips, smirking. Chuck blanched.

"I mean it's always best to break new things in as soon as possible," Sarah countered, with her own smirk.

"I feel like I'm missing part of the conversation," Chuck said. Sarah turned toward Chuck.

"I think Carina is implying we went home and had sex before we came back here," Sarah explained. Chuck nodded.

"Well, that would make that conversation make a lot more sense," he replied grinning. Casey walked in, saw Chuck and Sarah, and just grunted.

"I don't know that one yet," Chuck admitted.

"Me either," Sarah said, intrigued. Carina just grinned. Morgan joined them and the chit-chat ended, the work turning serious. They went over the plan and after an hour or so everyone was satisfied with it.

"One last thing, Sarah," Carina began. "You can't take the mommy mobile tonight." Sarah grinned. "You know it would project a certain image if you let Chuck drive her."

"Chuck is welcomed to drive anything of mine, anytime he wants," Sarah replied nonchalantly. Casey nearly choked on his coffee. She turned to Chuck. "We have to get the Porsche." Chuck's eyebrows shot up. "I need to do a few things, I'll meet you in the garage in a minute."

"So the only car parked in that garage is the Porsche, surveillance van, and the Hummer?" Chuck asked.

"Mmmhmm," she answered, knowing he was going to ask why only three cars got parked in an area big enough for twenty.

"Makes sense, to keep them off the street and not let anyone see inside when we pull up in our regular vehicles," Chuck replied, heading out. "Carina, if you have a second, would you mind going over those blueprints with me one more time?" Sarah smiled at him. She should have known he'd figure it out, well, that and Casey kept the armory stocked down there. Carina joined Chuck and they walked to his office.

"What is it, Chuckles?" Carina asked. Chuck blew out a breath.

"There's something I've got to tell you, but you can't let Sarah know, okay?" Chuck asked. Carina nodded, ready for the news. "I made a backup plan, but I need you to look at it." She wasn't expecting that. They went to his office and he pulled up a private website. She looked at it, and her jaw dropped. "Is it too outrageous?"

"No!" she exclaimed, laughing. "It's actually genius!"

"I knew if someone would appreciate it, it would be you," Chuck said. She turned toward him. "That didn't come out right," he began.

"It did, and you're right," Carina said, smiling. Sarah appeared at the door.

"All ready, Chuck?" she asked. Chuck turned to Carina, who nodded.

"You good to go, Chuck," Carina said, patting his arm assuring him it would all be okay.

"You ain't kiddin'," Sarah muttered softly. Chuck grinned at Sarah and they left. Carina followed them until she saw Casey in the hallway.

"Anything?" Casey asked.

"It was actually mission related," she said.

"They're wearing the rings," he replied.

"They say it's for the mission. You know we have this place all to ourselves now," Carina said, softly.

"Nope, my daughter and Grimes are here," Casey replied, turning and leaving. Carina watched him go, shrugged, and walked to the front office to find Alex.

}o{

Sarah and Chuck pulled up to the restaurant in Sarah's Porsche, she was driving.

"I really don't mind," Sarah said with her Texas drawl.

"I know you don't, Sugah, but I also know how much you just love your car. What kinda husband would I be if I didn't let you drive it here. Besides, it just makes you a little tigress. Rawwrr," Chuck said, making a claw with his hand and scratching at air.

"Rawwr," she drawled back, giggling the entire time. The attendant, blinked a few times, watching the show. "Oh, Charlie, they're waiting for us."

"Well, Sugar, perhaps we should continue this later," Chuck said waggling his eyebrows.

"Rawwr," she said, getting out of the car. The two walked inside, and approached the maître d.

"We have a reservation for The Charleses," Chuck said loudly. "I am Mr. Charles and this pretty thing right here is Mrs. Charles."

"Oh, Charlie, this place is so swanky!" Sarah drawled. The maître d rolled his eyes out of their sight and led them to their table. They played up the newly married couple out on the town like it was second nature to them. After desert, Charlie signaled the waiter, who just happened to be Casey.

"Johnnny, old boy," Chuck began.

"It's John," Casey growled.

"Nonsense, we're family here, right sugar plumb?" he said turning to Sarah.

"Oh you know it, darlin'," Sarah drawled.

"Is there any way we can talk to the chef in the kitchen, I loved the fixins! I'd just love to see where he makes the magic, if you know what I mean," Chuck spouted off, his big grin making Sarah laugh. She was so glad of her cover right now.

"Come with me," Casey said, his trigger finger itching from all the gooeyness. He led them to the kitchen, but took a sudden left once inside, they went down a hallway and down an old door. Downstairs Casey pointed to two rooms. "I've got you serving outfits in there, that way if you're caught you've can say you were off playing hanky panky." Chuck gave Carina a look. She smiled, this would fit in perfectly what Chuck had planned. They went in the rooms, changed, and Casey led them down the hallway. When they came to the end, there was a staircase leading up. "Up there lets out behind the door. The computer is in an office."

"We got it from here," Sarah said. "Thanks, Casey." Casey grunted and the two climbed the staircase. Sarah opened the door, slightly looking both ways and then led Chuck down the hallway to the target. They found the room, unlocked, and hurried inside. Chuck found the computer and did his magic. It took little time to find what he was looking for and to begin the download. Sarah watched from the doorway making sure the coast was clear. She caught herself looking back at him, typing away, a confident grin on his face. Her insides started doing flips and flops and she had to make herself concentrate on her job. "Uh, how much longer?"

"A minute, tops, why?"

"Because someone is coming," she whispered, pulling the door shut without it clicking. He pulled the flash drive out, handed it to her, removed all traces of them being there on the computer, and shut it down. He looked at Sarah, and didn't see the flash drive anywhere.

"Where's the drive?" he asked. Sarah got a coy smile on her face.

"You have to find it later," she said. Chuck's brain started to short circuit. "Focus, I really need you to focus. We have to do something and I need you to stay in spy mode, okay?" Chuck nodded, he had a serious look on his face.

"I really hope you'll forgive me for what I'm about to do, trust me," he said. He picked her up and sat her on the edge of the desk. He pushed he skirt up her legs, and stepped in between them. Sarah's mouth dropped open in surprise. He heard someone at the door, and turned to her, apologizing with his look. Sarah had a look of hunger on his face, and she began to undo his pants. He kissed her, and she forgot what she was doing or where she was. She heard someone clearing their throat and she waved a hand at them to go away. This time it was much louder, and she realized they were caught, and she had lost track of where she was.

"What do you think you're doing?" the guard asked, as they turned toward him and another large man.

"Well," Chuck began. "When two people love each other very much-" He stopped when the other large man pulled a gun and pointed it at him.

"Chuck," Sarah said low in a whisper. He turned to her, and winked.

"Darlin," he drawled. "I think the jig is up and we need to be honest with these men." He looked at them, and then tried to delicately move her skirt down. "I wish you wouldn't call me that in public," he mocked whispered where they could hear him.

"I'm sorry, Charlie," she drawled. "I just got scared." He patted her hand, the grin on her face told him to go with it. He turned to the men after his pants were adjusted.

"I apologize," he began. "We're the Charleses. We sometimes like to go to places we've never been, and well…make love." The two bodyguards eyebrows both went up. "It's kinda our thing," he said, with his hand against his mouth like he was telling a secret. Behind him, Sarah giggled. He was having a lot of trouble keeping in character.

"Charlie and I, well, we're newly married, and we just can't keep our hands off each other," she said, sliding her arms around him from behind.

"She's a tigress!"

"Rwarrr," she said, making the claw motion, he turned back to her.

"Rwarrr," he said. The guards cleared their throat again. Chuck turned back around. "We even have a private website. Nothing naughty, just a blog of all the places we've been where we shouldn't have been." Chuck made a motion to a laptop that was sitting on a shelf and the guard nodded. Chuck typed in the address and showed it to them.

"I like it," the bigger man said. "Where in the World are the Charleses Doing it? It's a take off of Where in the world is that girl." The other guard looked at him like he was nuts. Chuck logged off the website and computer, erasing any clues he had been on it.

"Can't be too careful," he said. "It's private, and like I said, we don't show anything, it's just a blog."

"I do enjoy bloggin!" Sarah drawled.

"What's your favorite place," the bigger man asked. The other one turned, a questioning look on his face. "What? I'm a romantic."

"Oh, that's easy," Chuck said, trying not to lose his Texas drawl. "It was just after we were married. It was a private ceremony, the public one was latter, but it…it was just for us. We went home," he stepped back and put his right arm around Sarah, as she leaned in to him, putting her right hand on his chest. "I carried her over the threshold, and at our home. That's my favorite." The big guy was sobbing. The other one rolled his eyes.

"That's the most beauty iful thing I've eva herd," the big guy said through sobs. "Go on, get outta here, and don't let us find you back here again." The two walked out and just as they got past the door he yelled. "Wait." He looked at them, tears in his eyes. "Take care of each other." Chuck nodded and they walked off. As they walked away they heard the one not crying say.

"Will you just call Sofia tonight and ask her to take you back!" Chuck and Sarah hurried, but didn't run, and held back the laughter. When they got in the tunnel, Carina was crying from laughing so hard, and Casey was grinning.

"Gotta love ear wigs," Casey said. Chuck shook his head. Casey handed them packages with their clothes. "Go, make sure you're not being tailed, don't wait to change." They hurried through the tunnel, through the restaurant, and headed out front. The attendant looked at their clothing.

"Told you she was a tigress," he mock whispered to him.

"Rawrrr," Sarah responded, grinning. The attendant took a deep breath, and just handed them their car keys. They hurried over to find their car, hopped in and took off for the office to swap vehicles, and then home.

}o{

The next morning, Chuck woke up and looked down. There was a mop of blonde hair on his chest, and he was aware they both weren't clothed.

"I forgot how good after mission sex is," Sarah mumbled. She looked up at him, grinning.

"So can we make everything a mission?" Chuck asked with the same grin. "The hunt for a lost Lego? Finding the lost coat?"

"Getting the good parking spot?" Sarah asked. Chuck's eyes got wide, and Sarah just laughed. "We should probably keep these rings on for cover in case we need to be the Charleses at any moment."

"Good idea, how long should we?" Chuck asked.

"Oh, fifty years or so should do it," Sarah replied. Chuck just watched her, in a minute she nodded. "One confirmed bogey was at the door, but I believe there was a second."

"They could just ask," Chuck replied, grinning. Sarah lifted up and kissed him.

"Hey, remember last night when you apologized about what you had to do for our cover?" she asked as she kissed him.

"Uh-huh," he managed to get out.

"We might ought to try that again at our office one day, with the door locked, for the cover."

"For the cover?" Chuck squeeked.

"And I don't want any apologies," Sarah said as she kept kissing him.

"Okay," Chuck squeaked again.

"Oh, and Chuck," Sarah said as she pulled back, looking him right in the eye. "We'll have to make it so convincing people will believe it's real," she said with her version of the eyebrow dance. Chuck's mind exploded. "I have to take a shower now," she said and got up and went to the bathroom. After a few minutes, Chuck's brain rebooted. Sarah came out of the bathroom, and noticed he hadn't moved. "Gonna lay in bed all day, Chuck?"

"Nope, I've got to get moving, today is someone's birthday!" and with that, he headed to take his own shower. He came out, and Sarah was dressed quite casually. "Going to work?"

"Oh, this, yes. I just know we've got a lot to still do for the party, and we own the place, plus it's Friday-" Chuck cut her off by leaning in to kiss her. "Right, spiraling. How are you? It's Clara's birthday." Chuck stopped getting ready, aware of what it meant.

"I don't know," he answered honestly. "Right now, I'm fine, but at some point…I just don't know Sarah." Sarah walked up to him and pulled him into her.

"You know that's why I'm here, right? I'm here for all of us, and that includes you," Sarah said.

"I know," Chuck replied.

"Chuck, when this all started I told you I could be your baggage handler," she said, bringing a grin to his face. "That hasn't changed."

"I hope not, it wasn't that long ago since you said it."

"It feels like forever, and I mean that in the best way," Sarah said, with a sly grin on her face.

"I know," Chuck replied. "For now, I'm fine, but if you wanted to keep close today, I wouldn't mind."

"Deal," she said. With that, Chuck finished getting ready and they headed into the girls' room, were Clara was still asleep. He picked her up gently, and she woke up.

"Hey, Clara," Chuck said softly. Clara gave a yawn and stretched. Both parents awed. She reached for Sarah. "Traitor," he said with a smile on his face.

"How's my big girl?" Sarah asked.

"Mamma," she said as she snuggled into Sarah's neck. They felt a pair of eyes watching them, and they turned around. There stood Molly, staring at them.

"Is everything ready for the party?" she asked.

"Do we salute?" Chuck asked behind his hand. Sarah fought off a laugh.

"Yes it is," Sarah replied. "Do you and Emma have the cupcakes ready for preschool?" Molly nodded. "I'm getting the cake this afternoon, Emma will pick you two up from school."

"Who am I riding with?" Chuck asked.

"You're riding with Mommy, Daddy," Molly answered shaking her head. She looked at Chuck's hand then she looked at Sarah's hand, and she smiled. "May, June, July-"

"What's she doing?" Chuck asked.

"I don't know," Sarah replied.

"December, January," Molly said, counting out nine months. "Oh, well. I was hoping for Christmas, but after New Year's is fine." And with that, she turned and left, leaving her parents' jaws on the floor.

"IS she saying…" Chuck began but couldn't finish.

"Oh, boy," Sarah replied.

}o{

"I'm telling you, she isn't into guys," Bryce complained at the table. The screen popped on, and Bryce popped up out of his chair where he had his feet on the table.

"Excellent work, team," Beckman said. A chorus of 'thank you general' came out of everyone's mouths. "Larkin, you'll be coming back to D.C. with this bevy of new info we have. The rest of you at Carmichael, we will have further computer needs from you down the road, but for now, that's all. Good work."

"General," Bryce began before Beckman could cut them off. "I don't understand, I didn't get the info." Beckman folded her hands together with a look of confusion on her face.

"Larkin, the team got the info, which is all that mattered. A team you are a part of," she said, and disconnected the feed. Everyone turned toward Bryce.

"Well," he said and turned to leave. He stopped and turned back. "I guess I still have a lot to learn about people."

"You do, Buddy, but we're here to help. Come to the party tonight," Chuck offered. Bryce shook his head.

"No, I think for right now, I'll go to D.C. Next time I'm in town, how about we try fresh and I not be a jerk," Bryce offered with a smile.

"I don't think it's possible for you not to be a jerk, Larkin," Casey said. "But I have feelings, so who knows."

"Casey, that may have been the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me," Bryce said, and then he turned and left.

"Enough of this," Sarah said, a gleam in her eye. She turned to Chuck. "Our baby girl only turns one once, let's head out and get the party started."

"Hey, we're coming to," Morgan said. The office closed early for the day, because as Sarah said, you only turn one, once.

}o{

The party was a smashing success. There was the attempt at Clara to eat her own cake. Casey thought they should use a water hose to clean her, but Sarah put a stop to that. There were games for the kids, the adults got to have fun. Morgan was upset to learn there was no bounce house for him, but there was a small one for the little kids. As the evening progressed, more and more left, until it was only the work group and the Bartowski/Walker clan. Sarah brought a cup of hot tea to Chuck who was sitting on the couch.

"Here," she said handing it to him. "It's decaffeinated and it will help soothe you."

"You are the best," Chuck said.

"It's a curse," she replied. Chuck laughed. They sipped their tea in silence as five adults and two children stood in front of them. Chuck turned to Sarah.

"I feel like we've done something," Chuck said.

"We've done many things," Sarah admitted. Chuck nodded and they took another sip of tea.

"Spill it," Carina said.

"Are they nuts, this tea is hot," Chuck said to Sarah.

"I think they mean whatever it is that we've done."

"Okay, then we do it the hard way," Carina said, and they parted to where Chuck and Sarah could see the TV. In front of them was the scene yesterday morning at the courthouse, where they got married. Sarah leaned over.

"Told you it was a borescope," Sarah said to Chuck.

"It gets a better picture quality than I thought," Chuck admitted. "I'm really shocked Casey didn't pass out from the heat." Six of the seven turned toward Chuck and Sarah. Clara didn't really care, she was nearly asleep from the sugar comma of her cake.

"Wait, you figured out we knew?" Casey asked. Chuck just looked at him.

"It's about damn time," Chuck said.

"How?" Casey asked.

"The crown vic?" Chuck asked.

"We can't send the paperwork to the courthouse?" Sarah added. She turned to Chuck. "Those two looked like someone from the mob threatened them." Casey shrugged. "Casey, I'm a former spy. I'm not that oblivious. You should know better than that!" Casey grunted, proud of her.

"We assumed you would just join us," Chuck said to the group. "I mean it was so obvious what was being done. After you didn't show, and we figured out how you watched, we were just going to wait you out."

"I told you we should have just gone in there," Molly said, arms crossed staring at Casey. Casey gulped. She walked over and climbed into Chuck's lap. "You're married to Mommy?" Chuck nodded. "You're going to adopt me?"

"If you want I'll start the process on Monday," Chuck said. "Along with Clara."

"You'll adopt Clara too?" Molly asked Sarah.

"I want to," Sarah replied. Molly hugged Sarah.

"I'm really upset we didn't get to do a bachelor party," Morgan said.

"How about one weekend you and I, a game marathon, and all the grape you can drink?" Chuck asked.

"Dude, don't tease me like that," Morgan said.

"Only if Alex and I get to go shopping," Sarah added.

"Deal!" Morgan said.

"Who gets the kids?" Chuck asked.

"I do," Carina said. "I can do it!" she said in response to all the shocked looks. Chuck shrugged.

"Are we still buying the duplex?" Alex asked. Everyone concurred. Plans were arranged for the next morning to move everything out of Echo Park to the house. With that, everyone started to leave, children were put to bed, and an hour later, one tired couple found themselves back on the couch.

"Been a bit of a whirlwind hasn't it Mrs. Walker," Chuck said. Sarah gave him a look.

"It's Bartowski now," she said. Chuck grinned.

"So I'm not Chuck Walker?" Chuck asked. Sarah shrugged.

"Maybe on some special days," she said. Chuck shook his head, trying to keep it from overheating. Chuck sat up, realizing something. "What's wrong?"

"My game launches Tuesday!" Chuck yelled. Sarah sighed.

"It's always something, isn't it?" she asked. Chuck grinned.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," he replied.

"Me either," she said smiling.

"So, did you ever figure it out?" Chuck asked. Sarah gave him a confused look. "What you're gonna do with me." Sarah grinned leaned over and whispered in his ear. Chuck's eyebrows nearly shot off of his face. She got up, headed to the staircase, and paused on the bottom step.

"Well, you coming to bed, or not?" she asked, and started up the staircase. Chuck's brain came back online, and he hurried after her.

A/N: Yeah, I kinda saw one of the guards as Lou Ferrigno. As I finished this, it kinda seemed like that was the end of the story. It's not if you're worried. It probably will be the last thing I publish this year though. My 21st wedding anniversary is tomorrow, with New Year's, and a bunch of life stuff it will probably be sometime early January before the next chapter is out. We're just getting started with Carmichael Industries, we have Molly's graduation of preschool (you know that can't be something calm), perhaps a summer road trip, more Bryce, and maybe, just maybe Jill. Enjoy the rest of 2017, and I'll see you soon!
