Chapter 03

New York, New York

Blair wanted to spend her day with Aubrey, she just wanted to. No reasons at all. She felt not in the mood to work. She thought she deserved a day off since after that chaos Fashion Week. She needed to recharge her energy, and she knew well Aubrey would be a great company to do it with.

She grabbed her coat and walked to Aubrey's school. She asked for a permission to take Aubrey out, with so many unrealistic excuses. This was not a good example, but she really wanted to spend a day with her. Nate took her for almost a week to Paris, and when they arrived she's been busy with this Fashion Week.

"Hey, wanna walk with me and feed the ducks?" asked Blair. Aubrey looked at her, questioning her motive with her eyes. But she couldn't reject that temptation to skip school and take a walk in Central Park.

They had fun together, Aubrey loved to watch the ducks while feeding them, Blair sat on the bench, and that's when Nate called. "Finally we got the project" said Nate excitingly, Nate always likes to do that, he keep's informing her, how his day is going and what's happened to him today, without him being asked. She didn't get bothered by it also, in fact she felt flattered to be such a person who he'd share his day with.

And yes, it was totally different from their high school time when they dated. "Let's dine out tonight, I want to celebrate with you and Aubrey." She loved this Nate, the father and the gentleman.

"Actually, we are in central park" Nate surprised at what they would be doing in Central Park by this time especially Aubrey, so checked his watch.

"I took her out of school to spend some quality time with her" Blair giggled. "I just needed it. It would be perfect if you were here, with us."

Nate shocked of the news and the invitation, but he loved it. It was perfect to be with them in this kind of day. "Be there in five."

Nate rushed out in fact almost ran out of his office, still smiling, he thought people would think of him as a teenager in excitement, yes he is. Day by day, Blair was much better; she opened her heart more to him, after years! Then he stopped at a store. They displayed a headband, a green headband, without thinking, he entered the store and asked for the headband, and paid for it. It would totally look good on Blair. He remembered how she used to wear it in high school, and she looked adorable. He just wanted to buy it for her.

Nate spotted Aubrey feeding the ducks, she fed the ducks by teasing them. When the ducks became impatient, and came to her, she would run back giggling and screaming in happiness. Then she would just drop the food on the ground, and the ducks would stop running after her and eat the bread instead. Blair would laugh if she was seeing her (Nate thought), and she was. She was sitting on the bench, like always she looked beautiful.

He walked towards Blair and smiled at her, when his arrival was noticed. He could see that she smiled back. He stood close in front of her. And then he bent a little so that he could show Blair the headband and put it on Blair's. He could see Blair blushing and smiling.

Their eyes met, then she kissed him sweetly on his lip.

"I love you, Nate" suddenly his heart burst into happiness. He could feel his cheek turn red. He locked eyes with Blair, to figure out if this is a dream or not. "Always will, always have" she whispered again. And he felt like his feet no longer touched the ground, he cupped her face, and now kissed her back.

"I love you, Blair" then he kissed her again.

Aubrey watched her parents kissed. She smiled and snapped a picture of that beautiful view of them kissing in the bench, that was how she wanted the ending of her book to be, with the last words being 'and they lived happily ever after'.

Blair suddenly pulled out. "Aubrey could see us"

"She wouldn't mind, in fact she loves it" Nate giggled, he knew Aubrey.

"Daddy!" Aubrey shouted and pouted but in her cute way, teasing her parent.

"Let's grab something." Nate lifted Aubrey in the air, and kissed her cheek. She giggled in happiness.

Then they walked with Aubrey in the middle holding each of their hands.

"So, Auntie S, will come right?" asked Aubrey.

"Sure, sweetie"

"We will hunt her out if she doesn't show up!" said Nate, and three of them laughed.

"Uncle Bass, will also come right? He promised me."

"He said he bought me a pony" Blair and Nate nodded.

"When will grandpas arrive? Grand ma said she prepared something special for me"

"Will captain show up?" she just couldn't stop mentioning all her family one by one. Nate smiles "he said he will"

"Good"

Hi, New Yorkers

Some of us are busy working, some might be busy plotting their schemes, but we know for sure who's the luckiest and the busiest little girl in the Upper East Side. Our Little Princess will be having her birthday party this weekend. People better be busy in preparing her gifts, but don't you worry, yours or mine won't beat her relative presents for sure. My insiders told me she would be getting a huge present. Would you mind to share, Princess?

You know you love me. XOXO. Gossip Girl.

The alarm starts ringing out loud. Reluctantly Nate grabs it to silence it. His left arm feels numb, but he doesn't mind it at all, coz there lying on it is Blair's head. She moves closer beside him, with her face facing him and she kinda buries her head to his chest. He smiles happily to still have her in their bed. He still couldn't believe that he has her in the same bed as him, that's how he feels every time he wakes up and finds her there.

This is a feeling he has always had even way before Aubrey was born.
