A/N Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. I'm sorry I didn't update sooner but I had company at my house and my mom bans the computer when there are people here. Anyways onto the chapter.
I own nothing
"You're All I Have"
Chapter 3
*Waves and the Both of Us*
Each floor they passed Blair's hand got increasingly tighter around Chuck's. He had practically had to push her into the elevator to the penthouse. Now she was biting her lip and clutching onto his hand so tightly you would have thought he was her only source of oxygen.
"Blair you need to relax it'll be fine and plus you getting all worked up is not good for the babies."
She gave him a death glare. "Oh so now you care about what's good and not good for them?"
He looked down with what she thought was guilt with a hint of disappointment flashing across his face.
"Chuck you know I didn't mean that. I'm just nervous about telling her."
He didn't say anything and she let out a frustrated breath.
"God, this is going to be like a million times worse than the day I told her I was marrying you."
"Why? What did she say when you told her you were marrying me?"
"Nothing." He gave her a piercing look.
"Okay so she may have said something along the lines of Blair you're ruining your life for someone who's going to leave you the second he gets a chance for some stripper from Brooklyn."
"I would never leave you."
"I know cause if you did I would hunt you down, cut off your favorite appendage, then I'd let Serena loose on you."
He let out a chuckle. "Okay now I know I'd never leave you."
"Getting back to your mother though I thought she liked me a little bit more than that."
"Well obviously not."
"Blair, why are you so worried what do you think she's going to say?"
"Well first, she'll comment on how fat I'm getting, th-"
"Blair you are not fat." She ignored him.
"Then she'll look at me like I'm insane when I finally do tell her."
"She's going to be ecstatic that she'll be a grandma."
"Not if you're the father." He turned his head away from her and looked forward.
"Looks like we won't have to wait much longer. We're only one floor away."
Her hand suddenly clenched as tight as it could around his hand to make up for the ten floors she missed while they were talking. His hand was throbbing in pain when the doors opened but he chose to think that dealing with her abnormally tight grip would be great practice for the delivery room. The second they stepped out of the elevator they heard her mother's shoes approaching closely followed by Cyrus'.
"Blair, darling what are you doing here?"
Then suddenly she was in front of them. She took a step towards Blair and put her arms around her in an uncomfortable hug. Placing a kiss on her cheek and whispering into her ear.
"Sweetheart you need to lay off the carbs." She ignored her or at least she attempted to.
"Mom we need to talk to you."
Eleanor looked behind Blair and her eyebrows rose in surprise as if realizing for the first time that Chuck was there.
"Oh hello Charles."
"Eleanor, how many times have I told you please call me Mr. Bass?" Blair elbowed him in the stomach.
They walked into the living room and sat down. Eleanor and Cyrus on one couch, Blair and Chuck on the other. Chuck placed his hand on top of her clasped hands. The silence that ensued was not a comfortable one. All Blair could do was stare into her lap at their hands.
"Blair I thought you had something to tell us."
"I do I'm just trying to think of how to tell you."
Suddenly a smile lightened Eleanor's features "Are you getting divorced?"
"No mom we're not getting divorced." Both their tones were obviously annoyed.
"Then tell me whatever it is you've got to tell me, or did you just come here to waste away my da-"
"I'm pregnant" She interrupted and Eleanor's mouth shut immediately for once.
"With twins." Chuck's mouth seemed to move without his permission.
"That's wonderful!" Cyrus interjected.
"No it's not Cyrus."
"Of course it is Eleanor."
"No it's not, I mean it was bad enough she decided to throw her life away on some whim and decided to marry him."
"It wasn't a whim. I lo-"
"Now she'll be tied to Charles for the rest of her life even when he leaves her."
"I'm not going to leave her. I wasn't going to leave her before this and I'm sure as hell not going to leave her now."
He stood up and grabbed Blair's hand effectively pulling her up with him.
"We're leaving now before you put you put your head even farther up your ass. Goodbye Eleanor feel free to drop by when you stop acting like such a child."
"Cyrus." Nodding courteously and pulled Blair back to the elevator.
Once they were inside he put his mouth on hers and backed her up against the wall. Grabbing her thighs and lifting them up to wrap around him as soon as her back hit the wall. When they broke for air he put his forehead against hers and spoke.
"Now I understand why you wanted to see her first."
"So do you want to go see Lily and Eric now?"
"Absolutely."
He placed his mouth back on hers and continued kissing her until just before they reached the bottom floor. Giving her lips one last kiss before her heels came down onto the floor just as the bell for the lobby dinged. She straitened her skirt and they walked out hand in hand.
The floors passed with less nervousness and tension on the way up to Lily's penthouse than on the way up to Eleanor's. The doors opened and they walked out to find Lily sitting on the couch leisurely with her reading glasses perched on her nose. When she looked up they saw such kindness and loving in her gaze and when she spoke there wasn't an ounce of disdain unlike Eleanor.
"Charles, Blair what a wonderful surprise. What are you doing here?"
She came up and hugged them both.
"We wanted to talk to you." Came chuck's voice.
"Oh, about what?"
"Blair's pregnant."
"Really?" A big smile coming onto her face when they nodded their heads yes.
She was practically jumping with joy as she wrapped them in a group hug there was no doubt she was excited. Just like there was no doubt Eric was both surprised and confused by his mother's behavior as she was actually jumping up and down by this point and had just leaned in and kissed Chuck's cheek.
"Mom what's going on? Are you having a stroke?"
She stopped jumping and laughed as she turned to look at him.
"No, but Blair is pregnant."
He ran to them and joined in on the jumping as he found his place in the hug.
"Oh my god. This is fantastic."
"With twins." Blair's voice came for the first time since getting there.
"What! Why didn't Serena tell us?"
"I don't want to tell her until she gets back."
"Then why didn't Nate tell us."
"Because I don't want to tell him until he stops acting like a prissy little girl about Vanessa."
Lily's voice came next. "Well, pretty soon you won't have to tell anyone. You're just going to start showing especially with twins."
"Okay now you two go sit on the couch with Eric I'm going to make tea and we'll talk."
Soon after she came out with tea and cookies and set them down before proceeding to ask any question she could think of. Barely letting anyone talk except to answer yes or no.
"So Blair how far along are you?"
"About ten weeks."
"Oh that's so magnificent." She got this dreamy look on her face for a moment before snapping herself out of it.
"Did you decide on names yet?"
"Lily we just found out last night."
"That is no excuse Charles. It's important to pick the names early because that way Blair's hormones will not cause her to want to name them Moonbeam and Sunflower and she'll be hopped up on drugs during and after the delivery. I mean who knows she could have some crappy eighties movie playing in the background and end up wanting to call them something like Ferris and Bueller Bass."
Blair giggled "And on that note I think it's time we leave."
Chuck woke up to find Blair had disappeared from their bed, he looked at the clock 4:30. He got up and started looking for her. He didn't have to look long before finding her alone in the living room reading a book.
"Blair." Her head turned to acknowledge his presence then she turned back to her book.
"What are you doing up?" He walked over and grabbed her book looking at the title. Reading it out loud for some reason unbeknownst to him.
"100,000 baby names." She stood up and took the book back.
"Blair why are you reading this?"
"Well I got to thinking about what Lily said and I think she's right we do need to pick names soon. I don't want to end up with Moonbeam and Sunflower as my children's names."
"You won't. I do like the sound of that though Moonbeam Bass." He chuckled.
She slapped him across the chest playfully. Then she smiled.
"I have an idea."
"Do tell."
"We are each going to pick out ten girl names and ten boy names that we like then next week we will present the names to each other and decide which ones we both like."
"That seems fair but I have two conditions."
"What are they?"
"One, you can't pick the names of anyone we know."
"Fine."
"Two you can't name them after anything that even remotely has to do with Audrey Hepburn."
"That's not fair."
"Blair"
"Ugh… fine."
"Good then let's go to sleep any work on this tomorrow."
"Sounds like a plan Charles." She giggled as he pulled her up with him.
They fell into a dreamless slumber waiting until tomorrow.
Okay so that was chapter 3. I hope you liked it. Please continue to tell me what you liked and disliked. And in the next chapter they will be giving some of the names the want so if you have a suggestion for a name that you would either like as someone's pick or maybe a name you want one of the kids to have. Also other people may be having babies too so any suggestions for those are awesome too.
Thanks
