…because we all need some fluff. And there isn't enough of it for SereNate.

Serena woke up to the sun shining through the windows. She stretched her arms out and rolled over. Her husband lied next to her, his hair completely ruffled. He was fast asleep. Lying on his stomach and secured in his arms was a very tiny baby. He was tinier than usual because he was premature, but his parents loved him all the same. He had little patches of dark blonde hair on his head and the brightest blue eyes. He was wearing his blue striped onesie with a puppy dog on the front, a gift from his Godmommy Blair. Serena rubbed the baby's back soothingly and planted a kiss on his tiny head. Then she planted a kiss on her husband.

"Mmmmm." Nate moaned, scrunching his face. He started to move, but Serena held his shoulders down.

"Shhh you'll wake the baby up." Serena whispered, kissing him chastely on the lips. Nate smiled and looked down at his son. He never thought one day he'd have a baby with Serena Van Der Woodsen, but he was the happiest man alive. He loved his son more than anything else in the world. His favorite thing was coming home in the evenings from work at the Spectator to his beautiful wife and son. He never saw himself as the father type, but he loved every second of it. Serena rested her head on his shoulder and looked down at her baby.

"He's perfect." She breathed. Nate started to massage Serena's scalp and kissed her forehead. She nudged closer to him.

"Did you stay up with him all night?" Serena asked, resting her chin on Nate's chest to look up at him.

"Nah. He woke up at around 5:30. I changed his diaper and we walked around the condo for a bit. Then we landed here." The baby had been sleeping a lot better as he grew up. He just turned six months old a week ago. Serena loved to watch her son grow up. Nate let out a yawn, causing the baby to stir. Serena and he did not notice him start to wake up because they were kissing. The baby let out a squeal.

"Oh good morning William." Serena cooed, kissing her son's head. He cooed in response. She wrapped her arm around him and pulled him closer to Nate and her.

"Just me and my favorite boys on a Saturday morning." Serena sighed and leaned into her husband and baby happily. As if the Golden Retriever at the foot of their bed understood her and felt left out, he jumped on the bed, causing Serena to squeal. He settled down next to Serena and licked her on the cheek. She laughed and wrapped her arm around him.

"Sorry I left you out Bendel." Nate and Serena laughed and snuggled with their family.

"Can we have a lazy day today? Just me, you, and Will?" Serena suggested. She was still in her light blue nightgown and her hair still unbrushed, but Nate still thought she was breathtaking.

"S, you know I have to go to work. I'm already so late as it is. It's almost 11!" Serena bounced Will on her hip and made her way to her husband.

"Call in sick Natie." She pouted. Nate sighed and leaned into her.

"Fine. But I don't have to cause I'm the boss…I'll just tell my secretary." He kissed Serena hard, causing her to giggle. He pulled away and got his phone out to call his secretary. Serena opened the fridge and got out a bottle for Will.

"Are you hungry little man?" She cooed, kissing her son on the top of his fluffy head. She placed the bottle in the bottle warmer and started to rock him back and forth. Will giggled.

"My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says, "Boy, quit foolin' around" Serena sang, kissing her baby on the nose. He giggled harder. Bendel wagged his tail, looking up at the duo. She twirled around the kitchen in circles.

"I told her, 'I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love.'" Nate watched in amusement from across the room, but Serena didn't notice.

"We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun, you're mine
All mine
Play the music low
And sway to the rhythm of love." Serena and Will continued to dance around the kitchen, their laughs ringing through the halls. Nate knew Serena's love for the Plain White Tees. They were one of her favorite bands. She had most of their CDs and even saw them in concert once a while ago. He grabbed her from behind and kissed her. She laughed her famous, hearty laugh and rubbed her nose against his. Will reached up and touched his father's bumpy stubble.

"Honey, you do need to shave that. It's getting too scratchy." Serena complained. Nate rubbed it against her cheek, causing her to laugh.

"Can you get Will's heart medicine out?" Serena requested. Nate groaned. Giving Will his medicine was always horrible. Nate had to hold down Will's arms and legs while Serena jammed the syringe in his mouth. They had been through so many medicines because his body would reject a lot of them. For the last three months, they had been on the same medicine, but it made the small baby scream at the top of his lungs and Nate couldn't help but to feel helpless.

Serena picked up Will's bottle off of the warmer and took a seat on the couch. Nate, still clad in his white v-neck tee and plaid blue pajama pants, plopped down next to her and unscrewed the medicine bottle. Serena sighed loudly and blew a stray strand of hair out of her face.

"Here we go." She said, sarcasm bleeding through her voice. She handed Will to Nate and sucked up the medicine into the syringe. Will knew what time it was as he began to scrunch his face.

"Stay still Booboo." Serena comforted as she lowered the syringe in Will's mouth. The baby began to squirm and scream. Nate held him down harder as Serena pushed the syringe in the crying baby's mouth and emptied the contents. Serena discarded the syringe on the coffee table quickly and wiped Will's mouth with a cloth.

"All done!" Serena cheered in a high voice. Will continued to squirm and cry in discomfort in his father's arms. Serena scooped him up and rocked him in her arms soothingly. She planted kisses on the top of his fluffy head. Nate watched in awe. Was she really the mother of his child? And Serena as a mother? The sight in front of him baffled him beyond belief. He had always envisioned Blair would be the mother of his children, in their mansion with a backyard and long driveway like she had always wanted. However, he couldn't be happier with what he had in front of him. Serena, Will, Bendel, their condo overlooking Central Park, everything. Nate reached out and rubbed Will's back soothingly.

"It's okay little man." He comforted. Will's cries died down. Serena smiled at Nate.

"Daddy's boy." She said playfully. Nate smiled and threw Serena's feet over his knees and began to massage them. Serena sighed loudly and rested her head on a pillow before picking up the bottle off of the table. She started to feed Will his breakfast and looked back up at her husband.

"So…how do you want to spend our lazy day? A movie, tummy time with Will, board game?" Nate nodded.

"Anything is good with me. As long as I'm with you." Serena grinned as Nate leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips. The duo looked down at their son, sucking greedily at his bottle, and smiled even wider.

After watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Serena and Nate put the baby to bed. He had fallen asleep in Serena's arms twenty minutes into the movie. Blair had always been jealous of Will because he was such an easy-going baby. Blair and Chuck's twin girls were always high maintenance. They were a little over a year older than Will. Blair and Serena could barely talk in the living room of Blair and Chuck's condo without Elizabeth banging her head on a table or Scarlett trying to climb up the stairs. Ever since the twins started walking, the Bass household had become a mad house. Serena and Nate tried to steer clear of their best friends as much as possible.

Serena placed her baby boy in his blue crib on his stomach, leaving a kiss on his head. Will moved his hand slightly and cooed in his sleep. Nate smirked and patted his son on the butt before taking Serena's hand and leading her out of the nursery. Serena giggled.

"What do you want to do now?" She asked, wrapping her arms around his waist. He slowly walked her into the kitchen, and backed her into the counter.

"Mmmm…how about we have a snack?" He whispered suggestively in her ear. She squealed as he threw her up on the counter and wrapped her legs around his waist. Nate reached over and ripped the refrigerator open, pulling out a container of Cool Whip. Serena opened her mouth giddily and Nate sprayed it in her mouth. He threw the bottle on the floor clumsily as he pulled his wife closer to him, smashing his lips to hers. He hiked her nightgown up her hips, massaging her beautifully toned thighs. She moaned in delight and ran her hands up Nate's hard chest underneath his shirt. Just as things were getting serious, the doorbell rang. Serena pulled away from Nate.

"Let's not answer it." Nate breathed, leaning back into Serena. She laughed and pushed him off of her with her feet.

"You're so ridiculous." Serena wiped the whipped cream off of her mouth with a rag, yanked down her nightgown, and skipped to the door. She opened the door, her eyes meeting a pair of dark brown ones.

"I cannot believe that mother chucker!" Blair yelled, shoving past Serena and inviting herself in. Beth teetered behind her flustered mother, her finger in her mouth. Blair stormed through the kitchen, stopping dead in her tracks in front of Nate.

"Hello Blair." Nate said sarcastically, whipped cream all over him. Blair's eyes widened.

"Oh my god. Oh. My. God!" Blair shrieked. She covered her daughter Scarlett's eyes in her arms. Nate rolled his eyes.

"Oh like you and Chuck haven't done dirtier. And could you be quiet? Will's sleeping." Blair shook her head and removed her hand from Scarlett's face. Serena smirked and walked over next to Blair.

"Give us some girl time? Go check on Will." Nate nodded and trudged to the nursery. Blair sighed loudly and plopped down on the couch. Beth swung her legs up over the couch and got herself situated next to her mother while Scarlett climbed onto her godmother's lap. Bendal sat by Serena's feet, where he always sat.

"So what fight did you to have this time?" Serena asked, cocking her head and smiling. Blair scowled at her.

"He's going to France. Without ME!" Blair yelled.

"Shhh Blair! Willaim is sleeping! Could you keep the Chuck-angst at a low point?" Serena barked.

"And jeez B why can't Chuck go by himself? It's probably for Bass Industries." Blair rolled her eyes.

"Yes, it's for Bass Industries. But he's leaving me with Beth and Scarlett for not one, but TWO WEEKS! How am I supposed to manage twins by myself? It takes two people to watch over two babies!" She exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. Serena took her hand.

"B, you have Dorota. And you know my mom and your mom would love to help out as well as Nate and me. This isn't about you taking care of the twins. It's about something else. So spill." Blair looked around the room nervously. Serena knew her best friend too well. She finally looked down at Serena's hand on hers and let out another sigh.

"I looked it up, and Eva still lives in Paris." Blair admitted, still looking down. Serena just stared at her. It had been years since Chuck last saw Eva. She couldn't believe Blair was still jealous.

"I'm afraid that he'll see her and sparks will fly and then he'll leave me." Serena rubbed her back.

"B, Chuck would never leave you. He loves you and the twins so much. The way Chuck looks at you alone lets everyone know how much he loves his wife and how devoted he is." Blair shook her head.

"I know that he loves me S, but what if when he goes to Paris he realizes how fun it is not having to change a dirty diaper or wake up in the middle of the night to two screaming babies? Or being with a woman who doesn't have horrific stretch marks or still has pregnancy fat from almost two years ago? He's Chuck Bass, Serena. Being tied down like this isn't in his nature." Blair's eyes became glossy and Serena noticed she was clinging to Elizabeth like a doll, stroking her hair nervously. She pulled Blair in for a hug. She kissed her best friend's forehead and pulled back.

"Blair, I can be the first to say that never, ever in a million years did I think Chuck Bass would settle down. But he did. With you. Because he loves you so much. He wouldn't do it with Eva or Raina or anyone else. Just you. You need to trust him B. Without trust, you can never have a relationship. I trust Nate with all of my heart. I know he would do nothing to betray Will or me because he loves us and chose to settle down with us. And you and I both know that was a really big step for both of our men." Blair laughed and wiped a stray tear from her eye.

"No matter how many stretch marks we have by the time we're forty or how many sleepless nights we've been through, our husbands are always going to be there because they love us dearly. I think you know that too, B. You just have to stop being so insecure about yourself to see how much Chuck loves you." Blair smiled.

"You always know just the right things to say to me. That's exactly why I came here. Thank you S." Blair leaned in and embraced Serena, squishing the twins again.

"Maahmann!" Scarlett squealed, pushing her mother away. Blair laughed and Serena shook her head.

"Are you brainwashing my godchildren with those weird, creepy French baby DVDs?" Blair sat up and shook her head.

"They are educational! You should sit with them and watch them too because god knows you never learned one word of French your entire high school career." Serena giggled.

"Hey, I know Maman means mother. Give me some credit." Serena said.

"Oh like that's so hard to figure out, blondie." Blair pushed her playfully and Serena got into a giggle fit once again. Blair stood up and flattened her skirt before picking up both of her daughters.

"Come on girlies! Allons voir papa!" Blair exclaimed, eyeing Serena.

"Like they even know what that means." Serena scoffed.

"Daddy!" Beth cheered, clapping her hands. Blair nodded proudly at her daughter and then looked back at Serena.

"Don't underestimate my children. Remember, they are part Waldorf. They didn't inherit all of your step-brother's incompetence." With that, Blair gave Bendal a pat, turned, and headed towards the door. She stopped in front of the door and turned around.

"Thanks again. And…have fun!" She winked and laughed before heading out the door. Serena shook her head and crossed her arms around her chest.

Nate insisted on not breaking their streak of going outside, so he had made him and Serena two "gourmet" grilled cheese sandwiches. Well…two burnt grilled cheese sandwiches. Serena didn't mind though. She credited her husband for trying and just dipped it in some tomato soup she heated up from a can she was supposed to donate to the local drive collecting in Central Park. However, something had to go with the grilled cheese or it wasn't going to be edible, so she vowed she'd go buy another can to replace the one she and Nate ate. Will was awake and active, watching his parents have dinner from his saucer. He kicked his tiny legs up in the air and giggled, trying to whack the frog above him. Serena pulled out her phone and took a video. She and Nate combined had over hundreds of photos and videos on their Apple computer of their son, but neither one regretted it. They wanted to cherish these moments while they could and remember them when he was out of the house.

The duo finished their meal. Nate started to clean the dishes while Serena fed Will his dinner on the couch. Serena's phone beeped, so she reached on the endtable and clicked it on.

-SCA

Thanks again for our talk today. Chuck and I talked it out…and didn't talk…and it's okay now. He even managed to cut the trip to only a week and a half! I might be taking up your offer to help with the twins as you know I don't like to rely too much on Dorota. But thanks again, I hope Nate made up for the sexy time I so rudely interrupted, I hope I didn't interrupt Will's nap, and sleep tight tonight.

-BCB

Serena rolled her eyes and threw her phone onto the couch next to her. Ever since the two best friends were happily married, Blair addressed Serena in texts as "SCA", her initials, standing for Serena Cecilia Archibald. Blair of course signed "BCB", Blair Cornelia Bass. They had always joked of doing that as children, only the ironic part was Serena referred to Blair as Blair Cornelia Archibald. Who knew that she would be the one who ended up with the last name of Archibald? And Blair as Bass? No one could have predicted their turns of events from their childhood.

After Will was done his bottle and burped, Nate joined his wife and son on the floor for late night tummy time. Bendel came and sat next to Nate, wagging his tail. Will explored what he could do while lying on his baby-blue blanket. He threw his fists in the air and made cooing noises. Serena smiled and encouraged him to try and start crawling. Serena had read that babies started crawling as early as six months, so she was waiting anxiously for her son to start. Blair had warned her that it wasn't a blessing at all, that once they begin to crawl you have to live in solitary confinement to both keep track of them and so they don't get hurt, but Nate and Serena were excited nonetheless. After a few tries, Will gave up and flipped himself over to his back. Serena laughed, remembering the first time he had rolled over.

Nate was lying on his stomach watching Will play on his playmat. Serena was on her couch typing up quotas for Bass Industries. Since Will was born, Chuck had let Serena work from home. It was hard balancing her job and the baby, but it was a lot easier than having to go in to work. She was grateful she had the opportunity to. She often worked at night so Nate could watch Will while she was in work mode. All of the sudden, she heard a thump.

"What was that!" She asked, her head shooting up from her Mac laptop. Nate looked up from the floor, his eyes wide.

"I…I don't know Serena…he…just flipped…what do I do?! Is this normal? Is he hurt?!" He stumbled. She secretly loved to watch him squirm.

"Natie, it's completely normal. He just flipped over for the first time! That's a milestone! Quick, get the camera. We have to document this!" Serena squealed, running over to kneel in front of her baby boy.

Nate smirked, knowing she was remembering his freakout. She laughed.

"Hey, I was just trying to be a protective father." Nate exclaimed. Serena laughed.

"I know." She whispered. She leaned in and kissed him. Will was happily banging at his toys on his playmat above him. Serena gave him multiple raspberries on his chubby cheeks.

"Mommy wuvs you BooBoo." She cooed. Nate kissed his forehead.

Nate never thought he'd admit this, but he loved tummy time just as much as his son did.

So where did this come from? I have no idea. I have to say BikerChick101's 'Puppy Love' did give me some inspiration, certainly pushing me towards SereNate instead of my usual Chair fic and getting Bendel into this story (Yes, he's named after Bendel's. I thought it was cute). You guys should check out her fics if you love GG she has some great ones, not just fluff :) This chapter was really long. I may in the future do some smaller "moments" kind of chapters. Let me know what you guys wanna see! I often feed off of your guys' imaginations to create these kinds of stories. So leave a review :)

Thanks!

Much Love, Becca

P.S: for those who asked me about the promo for Season 6 and where they can see it, here it is! Enjoy! Try not to die while watching it haha it's hard… watch?v=7SXgrhMvXqY
