Bass Brood central with NJBC… Fluffy, humour, protective Daddy's, fluff, more babies and pure Bass family fun! "And where do you think you are going dressed like that, Evie Grace Bass?"
A/N: I finally committed to this new fic! While times are hard this summer and we are waiting anxiously to see what happens with the whole Chair/Baby/Louis situation…I have brought you this! I am going to try my best to keep it like and fluffy with lots of laughs especially from the Bass children and of course there will still be plenty of Chair!
If you haven't read my first two fics which link into this story, DO NOT worry because I am pretty sure this plot is easy to pick up and at the end of this chapter I will give you a little family tree so you know who is who! BUT if you haven't read my other fics, any, not just Mr Chuck and Mrs Blair, please do! Mr Chuck and Mrs Blair is really light and fluffy and then Part 2 brings more of that but with married life and babies! Giggles all round!
I am super excited to see what reaction I get from this…if it's not so good I will give it up as a bad job and leave it as a one-shot, but if not and I get enough positive reviews, I will defo be happy to continue as a multi-chappie! Here goes…
Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl unfortunately! But I do own Ed Westwick…true fact! ;)
"Blair, I think it's highly unnecessary for me to talk to our eldest son about the birds and the bees. It will only put both of us in an awkward situation…do you really want to inflict such trauma on your husband?" Chuck pouted pathetically towards his wife who stood in the middle of his office, arms crossed.
"Yes I do think it's necessary. Every son should be given the talk. I don't want unplanned grandchildren popping out of the woodwork; I'm too young for that label, thank you." Blair shot as she remained planted to her spot, glaring at her husband.
"Bart didn't have this conversation with me and I turned out fine…" Chuck replied optimistically with a shrug.
"Was that before or after your string of prostitutes, drug and alcohol abuse and nearly getting me pregnant behind Nate's back?"
"You know full well it was after…I married you and had a beautiful brood of children, didn't I?" Chuck was quick to compliment as he got up from his chair and approached Blair who looked reluctant to his advances.
"That maybe so…but when we became parents it became our duty to teach our children right and wrong, even if that does include the talk. I had to have multiple conversations with Evie regarding boys and girl issues; it's your turn to do the same for Ted." Blair defended as she watched Chuck edge closer to her until he was close but not quite touching.
"By 'multiple conversations', would you be referring to the one conversation you had with Evie concerning both?..." Chuck pondered as he ran his index finger down her arm, waiting for her to show some sort of reaction.
"Fine. But that doesn't mean you are exempt from talking to Teddy. And if you don't…you will be punished."
"Would that be the kind of punishment I like…" Chuck teased in her ear as he let his lips find that spot on her neck.
"No. It's the opposite." She concluded as she prodded him in the chest hard before attempting to exit the room.
Stopping at the door, she turned to face Chuck once more.
"Oh and Chuck, Evie has a date tonight!" she announced with a smirk before swiftly making her exit, leaving Chuck, no doubt having a coronary attack.

"Hey girls, what are you two up to?" Blair greeted as she walked into the kitchen to find Evie and Mia talking.
"Just talking and then we are gunna choose an outfit for my date tonight!" Evie giggled as she responded to her mother.
"I wouldn't go making any final decisions just yet…I've just told your father and well lets just say, he didn't sound keen…" Blair shrugged at her oldest daughter as her face dropped.
"I'm sixteen Mom! I'm not a little girl anymore. Daddy needs to get over it!" Evie moaned, knowing this was exactly how her father would react, therefore leaving it til the last minute to allow Blair to approach the subject.
"I know you're not a little girl anymore but you know how your father is, you'll always be his baby girl", Blair affirmed before directing her attention to Mia.
"Mia, does your mother know you're here?"
"Yeah, she's picking me up later. I think she wanted to talk to you about something", Mia responded lightly.
Mia was a spitting image of Serena; the blonde locks, long legs and stunning features while Evie was a carbon copy of Blair with hints of Chuck in and amongst. For example, she had Chuck's deep brown eyes that seemed to darken to accompany her mood, like now, frowning at the disagreeable information she had just received from Blair.
Although Mia was a year younger than Evie, they grew to become beautiful young women just like their mothers, best friends.
"Thank you for letting me know, Sweetie", Blair smiled at her god daughter's politeness.
"So where is Benjamin taking you tonight?" Blair asked curiously, leaning against the kitchen counter, waiting for some gossip from her daughter.
"I have no idea! He said it's a surprise but I am pretty sure tonight is the night he is going to ask me to be his date at Cotillion!" Evie almost screamed with joy, playing her excitement down with a simple smile.
"That's wonderful, Honey! I remember my Cotillion…the dresses the-" Blair started but was interrupted by Evie.
"-atmosphere, the dancing…everything was perfect until... Blah blah!" Evie mocked her mother as Blair watched in amusement.
"Has no one ever told you that mockery is not very flattering nor ladylike, Evelyn Bass?" Blair teased with taught lips.
"Yes, my Mother! Queen B of Constance Billard, Blair Cornelia Bass!"
The two girl giggled as Blair soaked it up. She loved seeing her like this, so happy and free spirited.
"Someone's a chip off the old block…!" A voice announced from behind Blair.
The trio turned around to see Serena standing in the doorway, smiling widely.
"Mom, you're early, what are you doing here?" Mia spoke first.
"I wanted to talk to Auntie Blair remember? Anyway, did I overhear Evie Bass mocking her mother?" Serena grinned as she turned to Blair.
"I think you did, Auntie S! What would you suggest as punishment?" Blair joined her best friend in a bout of teasing.
"Hhmm…well, can I ask what we did with those embarrassingly cute videos of Evie running around naked as a toddler and giving us her best rendition of Justin Bieber?"
"Oh, I'm not sure? Have I already had them delivered to Benjamin by accident?" Blair bit her lip so not to burst out laughing at Evie's concerned expression.
"You wouldn't dare?..." Evie warned giving her mother a death glare which only made Blair want to laugh more.
"Oh we would…I'm sure you girls have read all about Queen B's scheming and antics on old Gossip Girl posts or so I heard…" Serena smirk widened as she watched Evie swallow hard while Mia just watched in amusement like Blair and her Mother.
"I am willing to forgive this little indiscretion if you give me a hug and a big kiss!" Blair propositioned playfully.
"I am not five anymore Mom! I'm sure this is not necessary, you're supposed to forgive your children no matter what…it's in your unconditional love contract!" Evie whined at Blair's soppiness.
"She used to love cuddling up to her mommy but as soon as they hit teen years, bam! Too cool for Mom's hugs!" Blair explained to Serena who nodded knowing exactly what she meant.
"Can't you go and hug one of the twins or Penny? She's the Mommy's girl around here!"
"As much as I enjoy Penny's hugs and kisses, she is at dance class and I want a hug from my eldest daughter. Is that too much to ask after bearing you for nine months and raising you into the beautiful young lady you are today?" Blair said, allowing her features to mellow into a disappointed expression.
Evie studied her mother for a moment before feeling faintly bad for rejecting her mother. Deep down she had missed her mother's hugs. Truthfully, the only times her mother got to give her a hug were when she was upset about something.
"You drive a hard bargain." Evie gave in and went to hug Blair who smiled warmly at the gesture.
"Thank you, Sweetie. I love you, you know", Blair whispered into her daughters ear as Serena and Mia watched their exchange, in the end, participating in a group hug.
"I do. And I love you too." Evie replied sweetly as she tightened her arms on her Mother a little.
"Naaw! You guys!" Serena cooed as the four broke their hug.
"Oh dear lord, when did Serena Humphrey get so soppy over a hug?" Blair laughed as she ushered her out of the room, leaving Mia and Evie who continued before they were interrupted.

As Blair and Serena walked out of the kitchen into the living area, they were met by an angry looking Chuck.
"Sis, what an unpleasant surprise!" Chuck greeted sarcastically.
"Ha-ha. That never gets old…" Serena replied with just as much mockery.
"What do you want Bass? Serena and I were about to have a chat." Blair addressed with raised eyebrows.
"I want to talk to you about our eldest daughter's pending date. Who is the boy?" Chuck put bluntly as Blair rolled her eyes.
"Benjamin Archibald..." Blair smiled as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
"I could have guessed…"
"There is nothing to talk about. Benjamin is a nice boy; Nathaniel raised him with the right attributes and manners so you have nothing to worry about. Stop putting off your other task which involves your eldest son", she assured as she put her husband in his place, or tried.
"He may be polite around adults but I know what boys his age are interested in, one thing and one thing only and he is certainly not getting it from our daughter. She's too young to be dating anyway."
"That's highly hypercritical Bass, from your track record, our children hardly have a solid role model".
"My track record? You're one to talk! Were you not the one who lost her vir-" Chuck shot back before being interrupted by an angry looking Blair Bass.
"This is neither the time nor the place, so if you could please respect my opinion for just once and go and talk to your son, that would be much appreciated. Remember what we talked about earlier?" Blair snapped, glaring at her husband who was now fuming.
"This is not over, Blair. We will talk about this further after I have spoken to Teddy." He concluded as he strutted off towards his eldest son's bedroom.
"Like a little boy who's just thrown his toys out of the pram…" Blair sighed before returning her attention to S who was looking quite amused.
"So what does Chuck need to talk to Teddy about?" Serena queried casually.
"The birds and the bees…"
"At fifteen? Dan had that talk with Max like last year…" Serena said wearily, wondering whether Chuck's attempt to raise his son's awareness on the female breed was worth the effort.
"Oh yeah, I may have forgotten to tell Chuck I had the talk with Teddy when he was thirteen. It was a breeze actually, he knew what was coming", Blair smiled evilly as she remembered.
"So why are you making Chuck do it again? I don't follow…" Serena asked, scrunching her face in bemusement.
"Well, let's just say…he ruined my favourite piece of lingerie in a moment of haste and well…paybacks a bitch!" Blair laughed wickedly, just imagining Chuck's face when he realises.
"Some things never change!" Serena laughed along with Blair as she shook her head in amusement.
Blair merely shrugged, the smirk on her face not moving an inch.

As soon as Chuck was out of view of Blair, he reduced his pace and sighed deeply, dreading the next few steps.
It seemed strange for Chuck to feel embarrassed about talking to his son about sex, especially from experience as a teen and probably the majority of the Upper East Side being familiar with his womanizing. His father never gave him the talk and wondered what it would have been like if he had. Maybe he wouldn't have had the track record he did like Blair suggested but thinking about it, he wouldn't have changed how things turned out; he got the girl, even if it did take years.
As he approached Teddy's door, he let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding before knocking lightly.
"Come in", Teddy shouted from inside the room.
Like ripping off a band aid; quick and painless…Chuck thought as he braced himself.
Taking the invitation, he opened the door slowly before walking inside to find Teddy lying on his bed, phone in hand, smiling.
"Ted, can we talk?" Chuck initiated as he took a chair from the corner of the room, taking a seat opposite his bed.
"Yeah sure. What do you wanna talk about?" Teddy asked, slightly confused.
"You're at the age now when there's going to be a lot of women wanting your attention and no doubt there will be a lot of testosterone flying around and well…when the time comes, it's important that you're responsible…" Chuck swallowed hard as he tried not to make eye contact with Teddy who was looking uncomfortable already.
"You have to think about con-"
"Dad, can I just say something?..." Teddy interrupted smiling awkwardly, almost cringing.
Chuck nodded, wishing he was anywhere but in the same room as his hormone loaded son who was looking at him like he had two heads.
"As much as I appreciate your concern about me being 'safe'…I should probably point out that Mom had this, excruciatingly awkward talk with me when I was thirteen and I can assure you I don't need a refresher… I always take care of my business." Teddy finished with a shrug as he waited his fathers face come to realisation.
A moment of silence passed before Ted spoke again.
"Mom didn't tell you, did she…?"
Chuck shook his head slightly before considering what his son had just said.
"Wait…so you're not a-"
Teddy clenched his teeth with a forced smile before shaking his head.
Chuck bit his lower lips before exhaling deeply, wishing he hadn't even asked.
"I think we'll keep that minor detail between us, your Mother wouldn't be too happy if she knew." Chuck confirmed as he stood and proceeded towards the door.
Just as Chuck was about to close the door on his way out, he turned to his son for one last word.
"Oh and Ted, if you ever need to talk, my door is always open."
"I know." Teddy acknowledged with a simple nod, relieving himself of the breath he was holding as the door shut.
Shutting the door behind him, Chuck felt his fists tighten. Blair would not get away with this. If she wants to play dirty, he's game. No one plays Chuck Bass.
A/N: How was that? Bab? Good? I would love a review and to know what you think! Because this is a new story I really want your honest opinions and I really hope you enjoyed it! :D R&R!
As I promised, here is a little family tree of which children belong to who for those of you who haven't read my other fics or for anyone who wants a refresher!
(In order of oldest to youngest)
Chuck & Blair (married) = Evie, Teddy, Tallulah & Alexander (Twins) and Penny
Serena & Dan (married) = Mia and Max
