So, hello, guys!
This is a sequel to my first story, "A Wild Guess". If you haven't seen it yet I really recommend you to do so because it's a good story, haha :) but you don't really have to know it to understand this one. The basic idea is that Blair got pregnant at the Alumni night, broke up with Louis and now is engaged to Chuck. This story picks up several hours after Blair's given birth to her and Chuck's son, William Bartholomew Bass. Serenate are together in this story and Blair on speaking-but-not-quite terms with Eleanor.
I'll try to stick to twice-a-week updates, but I'm not sure I'll be able to manage it because I'm studying very hard at the moment.
Anyway, enjoy the pilot, as they say in show business!
"He's asleep, Chuck.." whispered Blair in fascination, smiling at the less-then-one-day-old boy in her hands.
"He is so..unbelievably you and me at the same time.." mused Chuck, the same level of love and astonishment in his voice. "I never though I would be able to love someone other than you. Looks like I was wrong" he chuckled. "You aren't jealous, are you, beautiful?" he smirked, raising his eyebrows.
"No" Blair shook her head. "I actually understand you. Nine month ago my heart was all yours and now it's not. But it's not like my love for you has gotten smaller, leaving space in my heart for Will. It's more like my heart's grown bigger so that it can now accommodate my enormous love for the both of you" Blair grinned widely as the sleeping baby turned his head, adjusting himself in her hands.
"You must be tired, baby. Let me take him?" Chuck suggested, smiling at Blair.
"No, I don't want to give him away just yet. I'm fine" she protested immediately.
"Blair, you gave birth to this very baby six hours ago. You need some rest" disagreed Chuck softly.
"Isn't he supposed to stay as close to me as possible?" snapped Blair, her motherly instincts obviously activated.
"Love, that cradle over there is close enough. Plus, I'm staying here and I'll look after him while you're asleep.." he kept pushing, knowing she was completely exhausted, even if too stubborn to admit it.
"Fine" she gave in, realizing that her eyelids were too heavy to keep arguing.
"Now, carefully" muttered Chuck as he took William and placed him gently in the said cradle.
"Sweet dreams, baby boy.." he cooed as he covered him with a blanket.
"Sweet dreams, mommy" he murmured as he approached her bed and leaned to kiss her tenderly.
"Wait, Chuck.." she breathed out as their lips separated and he moved back to get back to his chair. "You must be tired too. Stay with me" she suggested, moving a little, making some space for him.
"Are you sure we're allowed to?" hesitated Chuck.
"I don't care" stated Blair, and so Chuck slipped under the covers wrapping his arms around her instantly.
"I love you, Blair" he whispered into her ear.
"I love you too" she managed before letting the exhaustion win over her and shut her eyes closed.
Two hours later Chuck and Blair were awaken by their son's piercing cry.
"Baby..!" groaned Blair and raised to her feet rapidly, rushing to the crib. Just as she made her first step, the room suddenly started to spin around her, she felt very dizzy, lost her balance and everything went black before her eyes.
"Shhh, baby, Will, don't! Don't cry, it's alright, daddy's here, mommy's here too. But she isn't feeling well, so please stop crying. We love you, William. We love you just so very much.." said Chuck softly, rocking his baby slowly, staring at his unconscious fiancée helplessly.
"She's alright, Mr. Bass. Fainting is one of the common problems of the postnatal period, it might be caused by tiredness or dehydration, but anyway it's not something to worry about. I don't see how it could be dehydration because we've surely been looking after her, so it must be tiredness. Make sure she doesn't get up and has a good sleep. I'll come around in about half an hour to check on you" announced the doctor after quickly looking through Blair's papers and made his way out of the ward.
"William Bass, could you please stop crying?" questioned Chuck mockingly again as the baby wouldn't stop screaming. "Oh, come on, man. Do we really need these?" he sighed and started singing quietly. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.." Chuck kept singing soothingly as his baby boy seemed to fall back to sleep.
"Chuck.." a weak voice interrupted him. He tore his gaze from the sleeping baby in his arms and saw Blair, her eyes now wide open even though her gaze somewhat unfocused.
"Blair..! Oh, Blair, I was so worried, so.. How are you feeling?" he breathed out, the mix of concern and relief making his voice a little bit hoarse.
"Quite low, honestly. What's happened?" she asked quietly. Her mouth felt very dry, her head ached and her vision was still blurred.
"You just fainted on your way to get Will.. The doctor said fainting isn't unusual after the labour, that might've happened because you're exhausted. There isn't anything wrong with you, you just need some rest" explained Chuck slowly, smiling as he saw Blair's eyes finally focusing on him completely.
"Yeah, I've overestimated my powers a tiny little bit" she chuckled softly. "Could you pass me a glass of water, Chuck?"
"Yeah, sure, baby! I'll just put Will down" he placed his son in the cradle gently and reached for a glass of water.
"Here you go, Blair" he helped her to sit up and watched as she gulped the water.
"Way better now" she placed the empty glass on her bedside table. "Chuck, I have a question for you and I really want an honest answer" she said seriously, looking straight into his eyes.
"Go on for it.." Chuck nodded.
"When I collapsed, what did you do? I mean, Will was crying in his cradle and I was obviously lying on the floor, unconscious. What did you do the second you saw the whole situation?" she held the eye contact.
"Well, I pressed the 'Call a doctor' button" replied Chuck immediately. "Why?"
"No, Bass, that's not what I mean an you know it! What did you do next?" she pushed as she saw hesitation in his eyes. "Please, Chuck!"
"I took Will and then went for you.." he confessed quietly, ready for a hysterical attack. Yet instead he got a laugh.
"Oh, thanks God, Chuck" Blair smiled widely. "Promise you will never ever chose me over Will!" she demanded.
"I promise. Promise you will never chose me over Will?" he had the same note of determination in his voice.
"I promise" she grinned again.
"Perfect. Now you should really go for some sleep, baby!" Chuck smiled back at first, but his concerned frown spoiled everything.
"Fine, fine, fine, daddy" groaned Blair, adjusting the pillows so that she could lie down again.
"Sweet dreams, love" he whispered for the second time that night. "And no, have a proper piece of sleep and I'll guard it" he made himself comfortable in the chair and watched as her breathing evened out and she dozed off.
That's it for today. How was it? Love it? Hate it? Should I continue? Please, tell me! I'd LOVE to hear fro you!
See you soon!
