2013 - 13 months after Chuck and Blair's wedding

The Empire Suite

"Where do you think you're going?" Chuck asked as Blair came out of the bedroom fully dressed

"I... was just going over to Waldorf designs to... see how they're coping."

"They'll be fine without you Blair" He said firmly

"But Chuck!" Her hands were on her hips, "This is my first kids collection"

"And it will do just as well as the teen collection, besides your fashion show isn't for weeks!"

"So-"

"-So" He interrupted her "you thought you'd go down there, boss people around so that the stress would get you an early labour..." He smirked

"Fine! But I'm more than ready for this baby to come out! I want to fit into my clothes and have sushi! And besides since when can they design anything without me!"

"Alright... But take someone with you, just incase."

"Chuck, I don't need a chaperone."

"I have meetings all day, otherwise I'd join you so please, just take someone with you."

"Who? Serena's away in LA with her brooding Brooklynite"

"Nate is at The Spectator..." Chuck added, "When are Eleanor and Cyrus coming from Paris?"

"A couple days." Blair replied

"Your minions then."

"Chuck. Are you kidding?"

"Well, there's only one option..." Chuck sighed

"No!" She gasped, "Chuck, no."

"Stay home then." He wrapped his arms around her waist, "Look, I'm sorry, but unless there is someone I trust that can take care of you in case of an emergency, I don't want to risk it."

"Fine." She pouted

"Good girl." He kissed her cheek.

Waldorf Designs

"You really gotta relax, Blair" Jack teased, "All that stress can't be good for the baby."

"Nor are those little suits." Georgina observed the designers, "Who are you dressing? Baby Colonel Sanders?"

"Be glad there's no purple bowties!" Jack replied and they both giggled

"Will you two shut up!" Blair rolled her eyes, "I can't believe Chuck talked me into taking Satan and his mistress."

"We can help you, Blair." Georgina smiled, "I have great taste, I could give you some pointers!"

"And I can help you with the lingerie line. I know a thing or two about what attracts the ladies" Jack smirked

"Oh my god, both of you stop your mouths from moving before you make my unborn child's ears bleed! Now, get out of my way or so help me god, me and my pregnant belly will squash you!" She snapped

"Okay, but-" Jack held up his hand, almost to ask permission

"Not a peep!" Blair yelled, interrupting him

"But... you're leaking..." Jack pointed out

"Oh my god, Blair, your water broke!" Georgina gasped with excitement

"Oh my god..." Blair tilted her head back and exhaled loudly

The Hospital

"Call Chuck! Did you call Chuck?!" Blair panicked, holding onto both Jack and Georgina as the doctor came with a wheel chair

"Yes, sweetie of course I did." Jack reassured, "Now the doctor will take you in and we'll be waiting for you in the lounge, alright?"

"You remembered to call him right?" Georgina asked once Blair was gone

"Nope, totally forgot!" Jack said anxiously

"Well call him! You do realise that Chuck will have us both exiled to Siberia if he finds out you forgot to tell him his baby is on the way!"

"I'm on it, chill! Chuck will just be glad we got her to the hospital in time... Besides the evil one of the two is in a hospital bed, hopefully sedated!" Jack pulled out his phone to dial.

The Birth

"You can do this Blair!" Chuck held her as the doctor insisted she continue pushing

"I can't do it! Please, you do it for me!" Blair whined

"You don't need me to do this, you're Blair Waldorf remember? You can do anything you set your mind to! Do it for that red Valentino dress you can't wait to get into..."

"You're right! Don't forget sushi!" Blair calmed down a bit

"Yeah, that too. Now push!" He caressed her head

"What kind of a pep talk is this?" the nurse whispered to the doctor

"They're the Basses." The doctor whispered back

"Oh... that explains it." the nurse shrugged

xoxo

"How you feeling?" Chuck asked while the doctor had taken the baby to be cleaned up

"Like the paparazzi felt when Britney hit then with the umbrella." She sighed and Chuck let out a chuckle

"You were... amazing today." He smiled, kissing her hand

"I know.." She smirked

"Can't believe you actually went into labour!" Chuck laughed

"You're the one who stuck me with Dumb and Dumber all day!"

"Well... we have a beautiful little boy now."

"He looks likes you..."

"He has your eyes, Blair." He stroked her chin

"...You know, they're asking if we have a name?"

"Any ideas?"

"Something powerful... that represents old-fashioned class, like us." She thought out loud "A name that will rule the town." She grinned

"And will let our son know he can accomplish anything he wants, be anything he wants... no matter what, he'll believe in himself"

"Like Henry Prince did?" Blair stroked Chuck's cheek

"Yeah... just like him." He softly kissed her lips

"Do we have a name?" The nurse peeped her head through the door

"Henry Bass." Chuck replied

"Henry Charles Bass." Blair corrected and Chuck looked at her, puzzled

"Henry was great... But I know another truly great man I want our son to be named after." She insisted, Chuck's eyes widened, clearly appreciating the praise

"I love you." He whispered

"I love you, too." She whispered back
