Chuck stared at Blair in awe as she sat on the sofa, flipping through a looked like the most natural thing in the world, her sitting there, with his engagement ring on her finger, with his baby is her belly. His baby, the thought of that made him smile, a genuine smile. They had returned to the hotel about an hour ago from lunch. Chuck had decided to take a shower and freshen up, since he had just come all the way from Japan. He walked towards her, only in his robe and sat down next to her on the couch. He lifted her up from her spot and made her sit on his lap. He'd never admit this out loud but he loved that feeling he had whenever Blair was in his arms. He was like a little kid trying to protect his favourite toy. Blair snuggled herself in to his chest making herself more comfortable before letting out a sigh. Chuck was playing with a few strands of her chesnut curls, still smiling. They sat there together in a comfortable silence before Chuck finally spoke. "She sould have your curls" he said while rubbing a strand between his index finger and thumb. She looked up to face him.
"He should have your jaw" she replied tracing his perfect jaw line with her perfectly manicured nail. " He kissed her, pulling her as close to him as humanly possible. They were engaged in a heated makeout session, when his hands found their way to the zip of her dress and he started to pull on it. The top of the dress dropped slightly giving her better access to her clevage which he started kissing, slipping her dress further down. "Chuck" she moaned when he started nibbling on her neck. "Stop" she said finally. Chuck furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and stopped kissing her. "Why? I haven't been able to kiss you for so long" he stated his hands roaming up her dress, feeling her soft silky thighs. He continued kissing her neck, but after a few minutes she stopped him again. "Not here" she whispered in his ear. "Nate might walk in." Chuck's head fell against the sofa and he groaned. Blair started giggling before getting up from his lap and walking over to their room. Chuck followed her.

2 hours later the both of them were lying down in bed together. Chuck watched Blair sleep peacfully. She had never looked more beautiful to him. She was glowing. He quitely got out of bed, so that he wouldn't disturb her. He decided to go to the one place that ever gave him any comfort. The rooftop. He sighed, the sun was setting and the view was breath taking. He had a glass of scotch in his hand and as he drank it he couldn't help but smile. Almost 3 years ago, the girl of his dreams had surrendered her virtue to him. 2 years ago she told him that she would stand by him through anything. 1 year ago after betraying her trust he planned on proposing to her , he only ended up hurting her in the worst way possible. After that he was sure that they were done. That they weren't inevitable. He got shot holding on to the hope that she would return to him again. When he saw her in Paris it felt like the world had stopped. He had tried to forget who he was, but then out of the blue, fate threw them back together. He was ready to run again, leave it all behind but she saved him and pulled him back out of the darkness again. When he returned to New York with Eva, he didn't know how hurt she would be, when she sent Eva away he was relieved. She still cared enough about him, she was jealous. He knew it even if she didn't admit it. When they got back together after the saints and sinner ball he felt complete like everything was finally how it should be. When he was called for the Modern Royalty shoot he decided it would be the perfect time to propose. That day he cancelled all his appointments and spent the enitre day with her. After lunch he took her to Central Park and proposed in front of the duck pond. She was a bit hesitant he could see it in her eyes, but she said yes and when she did, he thought his life couldn't get any better. Earlier on today his earlier theory was proven wrong. A baby. He had always thought he hadn't wanted kids, feared that Blair would die while giving birth, just like his mother did. However after finding out the truth about his mother he wasn't that afraid anymore. He wanted this and he had it. Downstairs the future was asleep in their bed with Baby Bass. Her words from last year came to his mind
"I love you Chuck Bass, and I'll always be your family."
He decided there and then that he would do anything and everything in his power to always protect his family. He would be a better husband and father than Bart ever was. He remembered Blair mentioning how they shouldn't tell anyone else yet. At least not until the first trimester was over, he also remembered her telling him that because of her bulimia the pregnancy was high risk. The thought occurred to him that he didn't really know anything about babies and pregnancies. He went back to the penthouse, quietly changes and then walked to the nearest book store. He bought a bunch of different books on pregnancies, how to take care of babies after they were born and baby names. He was hoping to read all of these without Blair knowing, he knew she'd tease him mercilessly if she found out.

He returned back to the penthouse (where he had forgotten his phone) and went to their room. To his surprise Blair wasn't there. "Blair" he called. He went to check the bathroom, she wasn't there either. He washed his hands before he continued his search and noticed her toothbrush was missing. His heart started beating rapidly. "BLAIR!" he yelled once again. Still no answer. He rushed back to the room and started going through the closet. Most of her clothes and shoes were gone. "BLAIR!" he yelled again the panic evident in his voice. Suitcases were missing from under the bed. He felt his heart break into a million pieces. Had she left him? She promised to never leave him. He picked up the landline and dialled her number (which he remembered by heart) his breathing was uneven. "Come on baby, pick up, please pick up!" he said as he waited for the call to connect. Suddenly he heard her phone ringing in the kitchen. He got up off the floor and slowly got out of the bedroom. "Blair?" he said not yelling this time. He could still hear the phone ringing in the kitchen. "Blair" he said before finally stepping into the kitchen. And there she was, sitting on the kitchen counter her legs hanging off the ground, a bowl of whipped cream and another of strawberries by her side. She looked well rested, her chesnut curls left open and her body only covered in the same light pech slip she was wearing before. She was smirking at him as she swallowed the last of her strawberry. "Blair" he sighed in relief. He went and stood between her legs, he demanded an explanation for her behaviour. Before he could say anything, she loosly wrapped her legs around him and started giggling. "What the hell Waldorf" he said, not sounding as mad as he was concerned. She continued giggling. "Now you know what it's like to suddenly realise that your fiance is no where to be found without any kind of explanation." she smirked. He was finally able to breathe again, it was just a game.
"I'm sorry, I had an errand to run and didn't want to disturb you." he said looking at her slightly pouting his lips. She giggled again and placed the rest of the strawberry she had been eating into his mouth. He finished it off the juices tickling the inside of his gums.
"What happened to all your clothes?" he asked, eyebrows raised. She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer, he placed his hands on her thighs. "I had Dorota pack away all my figure hugging clothes and all my heels that were longer than four inches, since now you've gotten me on baby bump watch 2011" she replied calmly. Chuck's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about I didn't tell anyone" he defended himself,he hadn't told anyone not even Lily who he had been dying to tell. She leaned back a little and sighed. She picked up her phone, which was next to the bowls and started reading.
"Spotted: Chuck Bass trying to figure out 'what to expect when you're expecting', could it be that our Queen B is going to be a baby mama? Don't believe me?, luckily I always provide proof. However it hasn't been confirmed yet if C has a weird book genre fetish or if Queen B is carrying the heir to the Bass Empire. Luckily I'll be here to post about the first piece of legitimate proof provided. Congratulations B, you're officially on baby bump watch 2011"
Blair finished reading the post and raised her phone up so that Chuck could see the picture Gossip Girl had posted of him in the book store checking out baby books. Chuck blushed slightly. "I just wanted to be prepared. I wanted to be here for you through this pregnancy and know what to expect so I know how to take care of you better." he replied rubbing his hands up and down her thighs. She kissed him sweetly on the lips. "I know and that's why I love you." she replied. She kissed him again, "Even if you're new favourite book is Diaper Diaries or The Pregnancy Countdown Book." He groaned as she continued to laugh.
