Chapter 2: Waking up in Tuscany

The next morning

Blair was just about ready to open her eyes and wake up when she realized she was cuddled up next to a warm body. She didn't even need to open her eyes to know that the warm body belonged to Chuck Bass.

Blair couldn't remember falling asleep. In fact all she remembered was the events which caused her leave New York, eating one of the several boxes of macaroons she picked up in France before coming to Tuscany, and then taking a bath. The only possible explanation that would explain why she was even this close to the man that had broken her heart once again was that he followed her to Tuscany to once again apologize for his mistakes and came in ready to have things thrown at his head only to find me fast asleep in a bathtub and carried me back into bed.

It then occurred to her that if he found her in the bathtub he probably has already seen what she feared most.

"You know Waldorf I know when your awake and I know exactly what your thinking and yet I'm still right here, I'm not running away from any of it," Chuck simply stated turning in the big King sized bed to face Blair.

After several moments Blair finally opened her eyes to face him. "GET…OUT!" She screamed and when he didn't move she finally sat up in bed and repeated the words with more anger and energy. Chuck remained silent and when he didn't respond She decided to get out of bed, but as soon as she lifted the covers to go grab her robe she froze at the magnificent sight in front of her. There were the most beautiful arrangements of pink peonies covering the whole entire suite. It was absolutely breath taking; it brought tears to her eyes. She was in such a daze that she didn't even realize Chuck had gotten out of bed and was kneeling before her.

"Blair?" he whispered.

"Why?" was all she could say at the moment, "why?"

"Because I love you," he said as he began wiping her tears away.

"No, no you don't I saw what you did for her I heard everything you said to her," she said trying to push his hands away.

"Yes, I do and I should have told you about my plan I should have told you it was all a ploy to keep Bass Industries in tact, you know I love you I would do anything for you I really hope you know at least that much," he pleaded.

She stared at him for a good amount of time before she opened her mouth "I don't doubt that you love me I would never doubt that, the problem is for some unknown reason you think I'm stone cold like Bart," Chuck stared at Blair confused, "I mean after everything that happened last year the one thing I thought you would have learned is that you can let me in. If you had let me in when everything was going on last year we wouldn't be here right now. I need someone who can be there who I don't have to worry about using me as piece in a game because if you haven't noticed this isn't a game anymore I have someone who is relying on me so just go Ch-" Blair was in the middle of saying when she abruptly got up and pushed Chuck away as she ran into the bathroom so fast she didn't even have time to close the door before retching into the toilet. Chuck realized what was going on and was immediately by Blair's side rubbing her back and holding her up as she continued to vomit. He knew she was right and it didn't matter if she didn't want him want him there he was going to stay and prove to her that this is what he wants.

The truth is this is what he wants more than anything.

After several minutes Blair finally fell back in to Chuck's arms as he scooped her up and carried her back into bed. Blair looked up at him with exhausted eyes, "Why are you here? Why are you taking care of me? You can't possibly want this, do you? Do you want this?" She started to ramble.

"First off I am here because I needed to tell the woman I love how horrible I have been and that I am willing to do what ever I have to do in order to have a forever with you," He smiled down at her as he brushed a piece of hair back behind her ear, "Plus I love taking care of you it proves I can do something for my powerful Queen B," Blair just tiredly rolled her eyes at him, " And I have always wanted this, I have wanted this since we had that false alarm I want this more than anything," he placed a hand on her barely there belly.

"You can't run away, you can't run away from me and you can't run away from us," She pointed out to him.

"I know and I plan on proving to you everyday for the rest of our lives that I will not run away I can't promise I'll never let you down or upset you because that's a promise I realized no one can keep because I'm sure I'll do something stupid at some point but I will never hurt you the way I have in the past and we have a lot to work through I know this but we can't work through it a part we need to work together to work through our problems but I need you Blair and you need me and this baby," he said as he laid her back down into the bed, he placed his hand on her barely there bump and looked down into her eyes," the baby needs both of us together," he bent down and kissed her cheek.

"I hate how you make it so hard to hate you," she smiled slightly, "I'm warning you right now you have a lot of work ahead of you and I'm not going to make your job easy with fixing everything and I'm still hurt by everything that happened and it's not just going to go away over night because it just doesn't work like that," she said calmly.

"I know and I am planning to work for it, so does this mean Chuck Bass is a taken man again?" he said with a hopeful smile

"Yes, but your on probation and I am not as lenient as Lohan's judge," she said with a small smirk

"I know your not going to let me off with a slap on the wrist, in fact I bet you would give me a life sentence without conjugal visits," he chuckled.

"Well I guess when you screw up you have no one to blame but yourself for putting that thought into my head," She smiled confidently,

"Right like the thought never crossed your mind before," He gave her a knowing look.

"Well the thought has occurred to me but then I thought about Chuck Bass abstaining from sex was maybe to cruel of punishment unless of course it was abstaining from other woman," She glared at him

"Abstaining from other women would never be an issue abstaining from you on the other hand, OH that would be pure torture," he said huskily.

Blair quickly realized where this was going and snapped out of it, "You do know this conversation is far from being over Chuck," she said sternly as she started losing color in her face, "I also need you to get me out of bed and carry me back into the bathroom I think I'm about to be sick again." Chuck just nodded his head and scooped her back up and carried her back into the bathroom. Where he continued to rub her back and hold her hair for another ten minutes until she fell back into his arms once again.

Later that afternoon…

After a morning spent mostly in the bathroom with a sick Blair she finally started to feel better and she decided to take a shower and freshen up, usually Chuck would have insisted on joining but given the current situation he decided it would be best to back off and wait for an invitation, or least for the time being. He knew that the conversation they had earlier was far from over and he had a ways to go before he could be let out of the doghouse. So in the meantime Chuck lay in bed and turned the television on. He couldn't really focus on anything because of all the events that had occurred within the last 24 hours and his mind started to spin with everything that happened until his thoughts landed on one thing, the baby. He was so nervous and scared about having a baby but at the same time he was excited.

He just smiled at thought of having a family with Blair he could see having a son with his parents dark hair, his mothers eyes, and his infamous smirk, he could see them having a daughter with dark curls, his eyes, and her mothers beautiful bow lips. It was then he realized it didn't matter what they were having as long as their baby was healthy and made out of love. Their child was going to be born into a warm loving family, he will make sure of it.

Blair finally came out of the bathroom all freshened up with her color fully back. "For the record," she started to say as she made her way to the suitcases "I don't want you here," she finished saying as she opened her luggage to find each piece empty. Chuck propped himself up on his elbows to watch her puzzled expression.

"I know you don't want me here, but I'm staying," He replied back as Blair quickly went to the closet to open the door and found all her clothes, shoes, and bags perfectly hung up by color and type of garment, perfectly organized as if Dorota had come along and put everything away just how she likes it.

"I…I didn't call anyone up to put my stuff away," she paused to turn around to face Chuck, "When I arrived I was to tired so I took a bath and I never had anyone come up and unpack me." She was now staring at a smiling Chuck, "I don't know why I am even asking this but did you… no you couldn't have… you never have… did you Chuck Bass unpack me and organize the closet for me?" she said in shock.

"Well I guess only one woman can ever make Chuck Bass do such a tedious task," he smirked and got up from the bed.

"How dare you touch my things," She started to yell at him as he continued to make his way to her, "Really if you knew anything you would know better than to touch my things, you would know how much I hate when my things are touched!" she finished with a glare.

"Oh stop yelling Waldorf, you know if this your best attempt at trying to be mad at me you need to find a better acting coach because the attempt was pathetic and I'm only giving you the critique out of love and second of all," he said as he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her as he bent his head down to her ear, "I know how much you love when your things being touched," he whispered. She instantly pushed him off her and huffed like a little four year old.

"No touching Bass, do you understand that or will that be too hard of a task for you that you will run off and find someone paid for touching," she barked at him.

"Well I told you before it's no problem to abstain from other woman the only trouble is staying away from you," he reminded her, "you're the only woman I want so stop this nonsense so we can work on things," he pleaded with her as she turned away from him and walked back into the closet.

"Well it's interesting how you keep going on and on and insisting your not going anywhere and how your not going to be leaving my side until we work things out and yet none of your clothes you in the closet," she looked at him with a victorious smile.

"Oh well that's because… well you see you ran off yesterday… and well I went looking for you and right after the party… and I went to Humphrey's to see if you were there," Blair looked at Chuck with a raised eyebrow when he mentioned Dan, "Don't think I haven't noticed who you have been hanging around with, I may have been off trying to get Raina to catch my bate in order to save my father's company, but I am always watching you Blair, my point is last night I was all over the tri state area looking for you and then I jumped on a plane," He took a few steps closer to her, "there was no time to stop and pack or have one of my employees at the hotel come and meet me on the runway to give me a suitcase, don't you get it last night there was an emergency, I thought I lost the most important thing in my life again and it was an emergency I needed to find you, and when you are here with me there is no time to stop. When Blair Waldorf wants to run she will run but I will always find you and if that means I have to be stuck wearing the same $1,000 dollar suit everyday until I find you fine I will be a smelly well dressed crazy billionaire searching for his queen." He said with much emotion.

Blair couldn't deny how hard it is trying to hate him when he goes around doing and saying such cute romantic things, she knew she was going to cave in because she always does when it involves a certain Bass but she wasn't going to let him off the hook that easy either, they both needed to work on things but now she wanted to just enjoy his company something they haven't done in a while.

"Well, you can't stay with me if you only have a suit, that is just unacceptable," she smiled.

"Hmm… do you know anyone that has impeccable taste and loves spending my money?" he laughed as he pulled out his wallet and dangled his credit cards in front of her.

"Well I'm sure many women would love spending your money but the one thing they don't have is impeccable taste," She laughed back.

"Well your wrong, the only woman I want spending my money is you," He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him, "I love you," he said looking into her eyes.

"I think it's getting late would you mind if went shopping tomorrow morning?" she said trying to avoid her own response which they both knew would be I love you too, Blair just couldn't get herself to say it because if she did it would be just too easy to forgive everything and fall back into the same patterns of bad behavior which always end with them in shambles.

"I think that's a great idea," He agreed trying to cover up his disappointment of her not returning his feelings but he already knew that she wouldn't say it back to him yet, " better yet let's just stay in bed and talk for a bit." He said with a smile.

"Well it depends what do you want to talk about," She returned.

"Well we haven't talked much about the baby I may have a couple questions," he smiled.

"I have been waiting for you to ask." She smiled as she put her hand to her stomach.

They both were sitting in the middle of the huge king sized bed facing each other with identical smiles.

"So what do you want to know?" She asked him.

"Um… I don't know where to start," he laughed for no reason.

"I think maybe they best place to start would be am I the father of your child," she said with a wicked smile.

"I don't even need to ask the question, of course I'm the father," he stated proudly.

"Your positive because I'm mean I have been hanging out with Humphrey a lot lately and-" Blair started to tease him.

"First of all when I stopped by Humphrey's last night he mentioned that he developed feelings for you and how he was totally beat up about you only having one man in your life, that being me so I know for a fact that I am the father," Chuck said getting annoyed that she was playing whose the baby's daddy when they both knew it was him.

"Well you know I did get drunk with Nate that one night when you were down under who knows who on the other side of the world and woke up na…" she was interrupted by Chuck suddenly pinning her down on the bed and hovering over her.

"Why do insist on teasing me?" he said looking down at her.

"Because maybe I love seeing you get worked up over the chance I may not be carrying your child or how the thought of me having someone else's child would drive you mad," She giggled.

"That isn't funny," he got off her, "that isn't funny at all even if I knew how untrue it was it's still not funny,"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you," she responded.

"Yes, you did," he half smiled.

"Yes, I did," Blair agreed with him, " Well may I ask how you knew right off the bat you were in fact the father?"

"Well like I have said before I do watch you, I mean what kind of King would I be if I didn't know what my Queen was up to?" he smirked, "but what instantly gave it away when I found you sleeping was the fact you took off to Tuscany, why else would you come here it reminds you of being betrayed by me it's significant," Chuck spoke in almost a whisper.

"Well your right you are the daddy," she said trying to refocus the conversation on something more bright and chipper.

"When did you find out? Does anyone else know, Serena? How did gossip girl not send a blast and when di-" Chuck started spewing the questions he has been wanting to ask her since he discovered that she was expecting.

"Hold up one question at a time," she giggled. "Well I found out yesterday or the day before that I mean it was confirmed by my doctor yesterday but I knew for about two days, and no, you are the first to know about it besides the doctor unless you want to include the several sticks I peed on?" she smiled.

"Why did you take several tests?" he asked confused.

"Well they all kept coming back positive so I just kept taking them thinking that maybe they were wrong but I think once I reached number 12 I realized maybe these are not faulty."

"I wish you would of told me I would have waited for you while you took the tests, I would have been there," Chuck said with a tremendous amount of sadness.

"I wanted to be sure plus I knew things were or still are not so great at Bass Industries I didn't want to disturb you while taking on so much if it was a false alarm," She said to reassure him he did nothing wrong there.

"Well I would have made time I would have called everything off and been with you I would ha-" he started to ramble.

"I know, but I know how important your father's legacy is Chuck and besides what is done is done," Blair said thoughtfully.

They remained silent for several minutes until Chuck finally broke the awkwardness with his laughter.

"What is so funny?" she asked him confused.

"I'm thinking about when it happened like did It happen on your birthday on the now christened grand piano or during that time right after on the kitchen counter next to your birthday cake, or was it when we were planning the party for the saints and sinners, or in the back of my limo, or on my pool table, In the shower?"

"Your really thinking that far back Chuck I think I would be bigger if you knocked me up then," she started laughing with him.

Suddenly Chuck stopped laughing. " You mean it happened there?" Blair stopped giggling and nodded.

"It happened at Victrola." He stated in shock.

TBC…

I know that this may have not gone they way you guys have hoped but trust me it's for the better because a lot of things are going on Blair is hormonal and Chuck is trying very hard to get back on her good side it going to take a while but it's a process it also doesn't mean it has to be war 24/7 the thing with chuck and Blair is this: it's really hard for them to hate each other because all they really want is to be in each others embrace and with the baby and all it's really hard for Blair not to just go fall back into his arms but at the same time they need to work things out so if they are having nice moments it doesn't mean all is forgiven. Also I can't wait to write the next chapter it's a Flashback of the night they conceived the baby. It's going to be a little fluffy maybe a lot I'm not sure maybe angsty haven't really made my mind up yet. But please feel free to review and comment and give feedback.
