Hey there!
This is just a wee something I started a few hours ago, and thought I'd post it - my muse is running overtime here so I figure I best make the most of it while I can ;)
Enjoy...

Title: Show Me Right
Disclaimer: The only thing I own is the character
Summary: Three years after leaving the UES, she was back to claim what was rightfully hers. Every one knows maternity's a matter of fact, while paternity's merely a matter of opinion. And opinion was always on her side. CB. Future fic.

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family."
Anthony Brandt

Prologue: Expectations

.

"No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?"
Elbert Hubbard

.

She watched him: hunched over the counter, elbow's resting on the bar, right hand encased securely around that ever-present glass of amber liquid swirling inside. And then she saw the tall, skinny, blonde approach him; that hungry look in her eyes, suggestions in her hips.

He rolled his head to the side and eyed the woman who'd just taken a seat on the stool beside him. She watched his eyes as they dipped before rising again; surveying the female, and saw a smirk appear as her lips moved.

Some things never change, she thought to herself bitterly, and scoffed at the notion that she could ever expect otherwise, as she turned her head and prepared to leave.

But what she saw next stopped her, made her rethink that last errant belief; fingers wrapped around her clutch, heels held firm against the floor.

His smirk grew and he leaned in to murmur a few choice words of his own; all the while with his hand raised, and his thumb fingering a small silver jewel on his second outermost digit.

Apparently, things had changed after all.

.

She watched her: running up the steps, flinging her arms around lifelong friends, beaming at them as she recounted tales of holiday events.

Her long hair gleamed in the sunshine, and her loose curls bounced with each step she took: her eyes dancing and as bright and playful as the expression on her face.

It occurred to her then that she was settled, and happy, and… apparently in love.

Her eyes followed the other, moments later: standing near a young male, the coy smile spread across her lips as his lips spoke words that her heart seemed to skip a beat to.

Fingers threaded themselves through the curls at the nape of his neck, and her tiptoes raised her that extra inch or two that her heels couldn't provide, as her face drew closer and closer to his, until he finally pulled her flush against him and their lips met. A smirk and a grin molded together.

Things had definitely changed.

.

She watched them.

He was waiting for her outside, and when she appeared her eyes instantly caught on his and she moved straight towards him.

He smirked at her, still leaning leisurely against the side of his limo, and she beamed in response; throwing her arms around his neck and falling into his open embrace with an ease and a familiarity that even someone who had spent years perfecting the art, couldn't quite pull off.

And as she watched Chuck Bass embrace their daughter, she decided that it really was good to be home.

Family had always meant so much to her; and she was back to claim what was rightfully hers.

After all, every one knows maternity's a matter of fact, while paternity's merely a matter of opinion.

And opinion was always on Blair Bass's side.

.

TBC…

I hope this wasn't too confusing! :S
Basically: First part was Blair watching Chuck. Second part was Blair watching their daughter. And third part was Blair watching Chuck and their daughter.

This came to me earlier, and I decided to type it out, see if I could get it to lead anywhere.
I'm notoriously bad at posting things when the idea appears and running with them, only hit a block about half-way through or so and have to put them on hiatus, annoyingly.
However, due to my newfound ability to keep posts and updates somewhat consistent and regular with 'Through Mist & Elegance' (feel free to check it out if you so desire ;) ) I'm just gonna wing it here, and post this and hopefully try and do the same for this as I'm doing for that.
Though, word of warning: if updates dwindle off slightly in a few weeks (if it lasts that long ;) ) it's only because Uni has started back up and I'm adjusting, and it should go back to normal soon after.

Thanks for reading and please let me know what you thought – means a lot!
