"She'll love you, don't worry" Blair tells her daughter, trying too make her feel better even though she hasn't shown any sign of being nervous or worrying about what her hard-to-impress grandmother will think of her. Blair brushes a strand of Audrey's dark locks away from her face and smiles. Audrey rolls her eyes.

"Mum, please. I'm not even worried. Just stop" Audrey tells her, her voice taking on a cold and snappy edge. She crosses her arms across her chest, lifts her chin up higher, straightens up her back and looks straight ahead at the elevator willing it too open and then as if, on cue, it does. The doors fling open too reveal Eleanor. Who looked ridicoulos with her newly dyed satin black hair and blue ends, her dark silk wrap around dress and matching low heels.

"Blair!" Eleanor screams, running forward too hug her daughter, when she was a good way away from the elevator. Eleanor's arms wrap around her daughter's waist and she pulls her in close, smelling her. The fifteen years apart had both done them wonders, apart from Eleanor's now tragic hair colour and bad choice in clothing.

Blair was the first too pull away, giving her mother a sympathetic smile, before grabbing onto her own daughter, Audrey's, arm and pulling her forward too meet her grandmother. Eleanor's smile grew wider, as if that was possible, and enclosed her grand daughter in a hug, less grand then the one Blair had previously been in.

"Audrey, how wonderful too finally meet you!" Eleanor gushes. Audrey smiles nervously at her, which was very unlike her. Blair was a little worried about her mothers sudden amount of affection and love but quickly forgot about it.

"Eleanor, it's great too meet you as well" Audrey mumbles, not really meaning it. If it was up too her she wouldn't of ever come but her mother had pratically shoved her into the car, forced her onto the plane, and then dragged her too the house. Apparently Eleanor really, really, wanted too meet her granddaughter, saying that it wasn't fare for her too grow up without a father, grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins and a grandmother. Blair dissagreed saying Audrey never minded. Which wasn't a lie. She hadn't known any different.

"Now, now dear. No mumbling" Eleanor explained, gently. Not even wagging her finger at the poor youngester. Audrey just shrugged and looked down at the floor.

"I'll show Audrey her room" Blair states, her eyes connecting with her mothers. Eleanor nods and lets the two girls leave too go and find their rooms.

"Daddy" A small girl with aburn wild curls whines, her dark green eyes going wide as she looked up at her father, who was still on the phone, talking buisness with someone. He spins round too face her, poking his tounge out, putting it back in and putting a finger too his lips telling his daughter too be quiet.

"Uh-uh. Thank you. Yes. Thanks. Bye" Chuck said into the phone, snapping the flip phone shut and carelessly throwing it onto his bed. He turned back too face his little girl, a grin breaking out over his face, he scooped her up in his arms and craddled her, rocking the five year old back and forth.

"Daddy!" She exclaimed, giggling widely. Chuck put her down and she put her hands on her hips, pouting out her lips, her eyes going huge, tears threatining too spill.

"Blair, don't do this again" Chuck complained. Flopping down onto the couch. She had been doing this for the last three weeks, when things didn't go her way, after picking it up from Serena.

"But Daddy" Blair began too whine. Chuck groaned and threw a pillow over his face, as his daughter began too crawl ontop of him, snuggling up close too him. She put her head in the crook of her father's neck and removed the pillow off of his face, throwing it on the floor. Chuck gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling her into a tight hug.

"I love you sweetie-bear" Chuck told his daughter, Blair. Blair let out a laugh and threw her small, dainty arms, around his neck.

"I love you too daddy" Blair replied, only seconds before the home phone began ringing. Blair let go of Chuck and crawled across the room too reach the phone, she tore it off of the stand and clicked the green answer button, putting it too her ear. She paused, and Chuck assume the person on the other line was speaking.

"We'll be there tonight Auntie Serena. Buh-Bye" Blair said, before hanging up. The little girl turned around too face Chuck, a huge grin on her face, as her father shook his head, muttering 'no, no, no, no' underneath his breath.

Audrey stared at her reflection in the mirror in the guest bedroom, she was going too have for the next two weeks and sighed. Her mums best friend was holding some sort of 'get together, welcome back, get too know the upper east siders' sort of party and it was mandatory for her too go. Her mother had warned her more then once, that it was formal wear. Audrey didn't own a lot of formal wear, so she decided too wear the dress she wore for her best friends fathers wedding last year. It was a sleeveless navy blue dress that hung just below the knees, she decided too pair it up with some black pumps her mum had brought her a few weeks ago even thought it wasn't her thing. She thought she looked good enough, formal enough. She wouldn't really know, she had never even heard her mother utter those words before, let alone her having too put them into practice. She let out another sigh and started too descend out the door and down the stairs. Her fingers brushing against the railing. She went through a few doors before she found the dining room and when she found it, well it was crowded with people who made her fanciest clothes look like something a homeless person would wear. Shit. Her eyes scanned the room, trying too find Blair.

Blair greeted people as she walked around the room, most of these people she didn't even remember but Serena assured her that they wouldn't be staying for dinner, thank god. Blair was wearing a Tibi Silk beaded dress in yellow that looks awful on the rack but looks great on her. She had found it in the back of her closet and had remembered the last time she had worn it, she had looked HOT and so she had too wear it again, thankfully, and miracoursly it still fit her. She had paired it up with Black Platform Mary Janes, gold ring earrings and gold bangles on her arms. Her curls were hanging loose around her shoulders, and her lips were covered in a light pink rose colour, her eyes made longer by Maybelline Mascara.

"S. Please don't make me mingle anymore" Blair complained too her best friend. She had been at it for at least an hour and a half, she hadn't done it in fifteen fucking years, and all she wanted too do was sleep and she still had a dinner up ahead of her. She envied her daughter who had been hiding out in her room for the past hour and a half, she spotted her, as soon as she had entered the dining room but had been stopped by somebody who claimed went too high school with her, her eyes scanned the room looking out for Audrey. Audrey was doing the same thing, her eyes finally landing on her mother who actually fit in with all the fancy Upper East Siders. Audrey pushed through the crowd, trying too reach her mum.

"Hey mum" She said, looking back and forth between her mother and a blonde tall girl standing next too her. Audrey had only just reached her and was wondering who the blonde was, she guessed it may of been Serena, Blair's best friend from high school but she couldn't be sure. The blonde was wearing a floral print bodice dress which looked more like a dress you would wear too a park rather then a "formal gathering" but one that she totally pulled off, even with bare feet. The blonde girl lets out a giggle which startles Audrey.

Blair smiles sympathetically at her daughter, as she sees her looking at Serena like she's some crazy woman, and frankly Blair couldn't blame her. Serena was acting a little out of all sorts, but that was just usually Serena. Blair let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

Serena grabbed a glass from off of a chair, next too her and bite her lip, her eyes scanning the room for a spoon. She spotted one and ran over too grab it, and then ran back too Blair and who she assumed too be Audrey. She banged the spoon too the glass, catching everyones attiention.

"Welcome! I'm sorry too inform you all but unless you have a super-duper exclusive invite too the dinner being hosted afterwards, you must leave now. We know who got the invites and they'll even be showing us. Bye Bye. Oh, you have ten minutes too evacute the building before we start going all physco on you. Best too leave now" Serena told everybody confidently, her voice never falling, never betraying her. She let out a smile and placed the glass back on the chair and put the spoon inside. She turned towards Audrey and offered her hand.

"Audrey, what a pleasure too meet you. I'm Serena" Serena stated too the fourteen and a half year old girl, introducing herself proudly. Audrey shook her hand, not believing this was her mothers best friend.

Neither can we A, neither can we.

"Blair, sweetie" Chuck yelled out, at the front of his door, calling his daughter. Blair emerged from out of her bedroom, looking every inch sophisticated as a five year old girl could get.

Or not.

She was wearing a light pink dress that had straps and had a flowy skirt at the end, the dress was tied with a black ribbon around her waist. She was wearing slip on black bowed flats as well, and had put in her ruby studs.

"Come on" Chuck whined, grabbing onto his five year old daughters hand and dragging her out of their house. His daughter agreed for them too have dinner with Serena, and they weren't going too be late, he remebered the last time they had had dinner together.

"Why can't you ever be on time for anything?" Serena demanded, staring her step-brother down. He rolled his eyes and took another puff of his ciggerette. They were outside the house Serena and Nate lived in, and Chuck was totally ignoring his blonde bitch of a sister.

"I can be on time" Chuck stated. Making a mental note too prove too her that he could get places without being up too half an hour too an hour late. He let out a sigh and offered his ciggerette too Serena, who turned it down, flashing him a pearly white smile.

"Plus it's Blair that takes forever. She's five years old, S and it takes her a bloody hour just too pick out what too wear! Let alone actually get dressed, having a snack too eat before we leave and doing homework" Chuck argues. Serena rolls her eyes at him, thinking he was just making another excuse before snatching his ciggerette and taking a puff of it herself, she then dropped it on the floor and stood on it with the heel of her boot.

"But Dad, I didn't do my homework!" Blair exclaimed, worry starting too fill her mind as all different scenerios of what could happen tomorrow starting playing in her head.

"I'll wrote you a note" Chuck sighed.
