Blair POV

"Is Daddy late cause he's getting me presents?" asked my son,

"I don't know sweetie daddy said he would be here in time for the party, your aunt Serena and Dan will be here in 20 minutes" I said trying to hide my annoyance with Chuck from the little boy. When Henry was born Chuck and I both swore that we were going to try to be better parents then the ones we had growing up. But sometimes it seemed like I was the only one keeping that promise, I had cut way back on my time at Waldorf designs and now tried to do as little as possible. Most of the business was surprisingly handled by Jenny Humphrey; after I got over her and Chuck's little "mistake" and saw her designs I realized that she had real potential to be a great designer. On the other hand Chuck seems to only want to be a parent when he feels like it. I know it might not be fair to be so harsh on Chuck especially now since the holidays are really busy. But still when my son asks me things like that I can't help but get flash backs of me waiting for my own mother to get home, coming up with a million different logical reasons she could be late. I decided to call chuck to make sure he didn't forget the time the guests will start to arrive. I call his cell and he doesn't answer so instead I try his office, his secretary Kasey answers the phone,

"Bass Industries" she says in a chipper tone

"Hey Kasey its Blair is my husband still in his office?" I ask

"Ummm… yes he's in the office, but he's on the phone would you like me to give him a message" she asks I hear a pen click,

"yes, could you please remind him that our guests will be arriving soon and that if he's late and embarrasses me it will be very, very, bad for him" I tell her annoyed that Chuck hasn't even left the office yet. I decide to go upstairs and finish putting some final touches on my outfit.

Chuck POV

When Kasey told me that Blair was on the phone I quickly made a slash motion across my neck to tell her I wasn't available. I knew Blair hated that I worked during the Holidays, but I had to make sure all my Christmas ducks were in a row. I had gotten Disney cruise tickets for Henry, passes for an Italian wine tour for Nate and Mandy, a trip to Vegas for Dan and Serena, A tour of Paris for Jenny and Chase, an Alaskan cruise tickets for Eric and John, a tour a Swiss chocolate factory for Lily and Peter, and a personalized charm bracelet and diamond necklace for Blair. The bracelet had all crystal charms on a sold silver band, a small black limo, to represent the place we had our first kiss, a pink flower, since she loves peonies, a purple scarf, to remind her of me, and a little stiletto heel. I had to make sure I had everything because the message was right, if I embarrass myself or Blair, it will end very badly for me. As I'm on my way out I tell Kasey to call Blair tell her I'm leaving the office and will be home soon.
