I'm a bit confused as to what this やっぱり is doing in the sentence above.

What does やっぱり mean in [そこまでなんだって、思っちゃうもん……やっぱり]
やっぱり is frequently used when someone is uncertain about what to do or how to
feel about something. For example:

> イギリスに行こうかな。。。いや、やっぱり日本に行く！
>
> Maybe I should go to England. No, actually I'll go to Japan!

Regarding your dialog, without the full context and knowing what they are
talking about, it is hard to say for certain, but here I get the feeling that
the person saying "やっぱり" was sort of indecisive about something and now has
decided a bit more firmly. Or possibly they just thought about something for a
second or two before deciding their stance on it. I think colloquial use of
"actually" contains some of this feeling.

やっぱり has several meanings, such as:

>   * **やっぱり** 、思った通りだ。 -- It is so, _just as I thought/expected/suspected_.
> -> That's exactly what I thought. / I knew it.
>   * **やっぱり** 、こっちにします。 -- _On second thought_ , / _I changed my mind_ , I'll
> pick this one.
>   * それでも / なんだかんだ言っても、 **やっぱり** 嬉しいです。 -- But I'm happy, _nonetheless / all
> the same / after all_.
>

Here in your sentence, I think it's used as the 3rd meaning, "nonetheless,
after all, all the same".

> そこまでなんだって思っちゃうもん…やっぱり。  
>  Because it makes me realize you think of me so much... after all /
> nonetheless.
