"What do you mean the Bass Industries Jet cannot get us?" Blair screamed, yanking her suitcases into the living room. Chuck sighed.
"There are complications with the motors apparently." Chuck moaned, placing the suitcases on the cart. Blair rolled her eyes.
"Why didn't they check the motors last night?" She complained. Chuck shrugged.
"But the company got us good first class seats on a flight to Orlando on JetBlue Airlines." Blair wrinkled her face.
"But it's…public. And we'll have to deal with grumpy business people and airport security!" Chuck laughed.
"Well you're going to have to deal with it. Go get the girls. I'll bring the stuff to the limo." Chuck pushed the cart in the elevator and clicked the lobby button.
"I hope we can both fit in the lavatories. I know how you are so attracted to me when the cabin lights go down." He whispered seductively as the elevator doors trickled shut. Blair put her hand to her head and sighed. Still same playboy Chuck Bass. She didn't know if she should approve of that or take it to her benefit.
She decided to let it be.
She walked down the hallway and opened the door to the girls' bedroom. Elizabeth and Scarlett were jumping on their beds giggling. The girls both donned customized, matching Minnie Mouse dresses with red sparkly flats that Eleanor had made for them. Blair bent down to pick up Elizabeth's Minnie Mouse ears headband off the floor.
"Come on chicas. Let's go to the airport. The princesses are waiting for us in the Magic Kingdom!" Elizabeth and Scarlett screamed in response and ran to the door, shoving Blair out of the way. Blair smiled and walked behind them to the elevator.
"Scarlett, you need to let me take your shoes off. You can't wear them through security."
"NO!" Scarlett screamed at an ear-splitting level. Blair felt the eyes of the people in line on her. At the edge of her rope, she gave them all a glare.
"Oh come on don't tell me your three-year-olds have never given you a hard time!" Blair yelled. The people in line and security workers stared at the Bass family like they were aliens. Scarlett wailed loudly and Elizabeth was playing with the line ropes. Chuck sat Scarlett on the floor and started to take off her shoes.
"NOOOO DADDY NOOOO!" Scarlett cried, kicking her feet, making it hard for Chuck to unclasp her shoes. Blair felt like screaming. The trip was already a disaster and it wasn't even started. Chuck was trying his best to be patient, but he felt himself slipping.
"Scarlett, do you want to see Belle and Minnie Mouse?" Chuck asked patiently.
"NOOOO GOOO HOMMEEE!" Scarlett screeched, slamming the floor with her hands. Chuck managed to get one shoe off of her, making her scream even louder. One of the security guards came over and looked at the ugly scene that was unfolding in line.
"Excuse me Sir, is everything alright over here?" The security guard asked flatly. Chuck looked up at her and gave her a look.
"Yes. Just trying to tame my three year old." Blair swung her baby bag over her shoulder and picked up Elizabeth. Scarlett continued to cry uncontrollably.
"Can Mommy take off your shoes Bethie? Will you be a good girl for Mommy and Cinderella?" Blair said with an aggravated tone. Beth nodded up and down eagerly. Blair slipped off her shoes easily and threw them in her bag. She returned her attention to the Chuck and Scarlett war taking place on the floor beneath her.
"Scarlett, you will get your shoes back! They just have to check them and then you get them right back." Chuck assured her in the most soothing voice he could make in the moment.
"NOOOO!" Scarlett cried, trying to get her other shoe back. Chuck finally ripped the other shoe off of her and threw them to Blair, who put them back in her bag. Scarlett stood up and started slamming her hands against Blair's bag.
"SHOOESSS!" Scarlett screamed, tugging on Blair's bag. Blair tried her best to ignore her hysterical daughter, but it was hard considering the amount she was pulling. She started to slam her feet on the floor.
"FLOOR IS GROSS!" Scarlett whined. Chuck picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"There. You don't have to touch the floor anymore for right now, okay Lettie?" Chuck soothed. Scarlett continued to cry in Chuck's arms, wetting his Polo. Chuck decided to let her cry her heart out and hope that she got tired enough to stop.
The family finally reached the front of the line and showed their paperwork. Blair placed Beth on the floor and took back their things. She leaned down to pick up Beth and realized she wasn't there. Her head shot over to the security area and saw her in front of a blonde traveler.
"Cinderella!" Beth said, pointing to the girl. The girl smiled and bent down.
"Aren't you a cutie! Are you going to see Cinderella in Disney World?" She asked. Beth nodded.
"Me too!" The girl said excitedly. Beth cocked her head.
"You are Cinderella!" Beth observed. The girl laughed lightly.
"No I'm not Cinderella silly. The real Cinderella lives in Disney World. I've met her before." Beth's eyes glistened in excitement. Blair walked up to the duo and swooped Beth up in her arms. The blonde stood up and smiled.
"Your daughters are really cute." She said kindly. Blair offered her a forced smile.
"They aren't when they are screaming and running away." Blair said sardonically. The girl laughed softly.
"Well, have a magical time in Disney World! Maybe I'll see you there!" She said cheerfully.
"Thank you. We'll try." Blair replied. The girl smiled and walked through security. Blair looked over at Chuck, who was trying to soothe Scarlett as he walked up to them. She swung her bag over her shoulder and onto the bucket. Leaning over, she took her Tory Burch flats in two swift motions. Being a mother of twins sure did give her talents in the balancing area. At first, it was hard to carry two twins and manage throughout the day. After a while, she got it down pat. Now she felt like super mom. Blair set Beth on the floor beneath her, but made sure to keep a small grasp on her. Blair took off her jacket and threw it into the bin with the rest of her items.
"Miss, would you like to do the body scan or pat down?" The security guard asked. Blair looked down at Beth. Shit she thought. Wait till they were put in the body scanner. They'd both be crying then.
"Body scan." Blair replied. She crouched down and looked at Beth.
"Honey you are going to have to go in that big machine over there to make you into…a pretty princess!" Blair said in a high voice. Beth grinned. Before she knew it, Beth was darting over to the machine.
"CINDERELLA!" She cheered, jumping into the machine. The security guards looked at the little girl and ran after her.
"Okay stay in there sweetheart. Stay still!" The guard yelled. Beth looked at her mother and grinned. Blair sighed in relief. One down, one to go. When Beth was done, a guard took her hand and led her to the chairs. Blair took the scan and met her on the other side. She looked over at Chuck, who was obviously flustered beyond her. His face was bright red, and she could tell he was trying to convince Scarlett to go in the machine.
"Just get her the pat-down Bass!" Blair screamed across. Chuck looked at her.
"I don't want my three-year old daughter getting patted down by anyone!" He barked. Blair rolled her eyes. He was so overprotective of them.
Chuck grabbed his daughter by the arms and bent down so they were eye level. She was jumping up and down in attempt to not get her stockings dirty. He tried to hold her still.
"Scarlett honey, do this for Mommy and Daddy please?" Chuck begged. He was so close to snapping.
"NOOO!" She wailed, jumping up and down faster. Chuck lost it.
"SCARLETT ROSE BASS YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS OR I AM NOT BUYING YOU ANOTHER DRESS! I AM GOING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RED SHOES TOO! YOU ARE MAKING DADDY VERY IRRITABLE!" Chuck screamed. Scarlett stopped crying and looked at him, her bottom lip wobbling. Blair watched from the other side and bit her lip to keep her from laughing. Chuck felt the eyes of the other passengers digging into his back. He turned around and shot them all a look. When he turned back to look at his daughter, she was gone. He looked over and saw Blair clapping on the other end.
Scarlett was in the machine.
Chuck breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat of his forehead.
She was defiantly Blair Waldorf's daughter.
Chuck walked through the machine and thanked god silently that none of them were pulled over for examination. He might have strangled one of the security guys at that point. Blair smirked at him as he walked over and put his shoes back on.
"I need a scotch." Chuck moaned, walking towards their gate. Blair laughed to herself and took one of each daughter's hands, following Chuck.
"Any guests with young children may board now for Flight 26 with service to Orlando, Florida." The flight attendant announced over the PA system. Chuck sat up and picked up both of the girls.
"Get the bags. I'll go ahead of you and settle them in their seats." Blair nodded and picked up Chuck's briefcase, her bag, and the girls' carryon bag with their DSis and coloring books. Chuck handed the tickets over to the attendant and walked down the long corridor to the plane. He placed Beth on one side of the seats and Scarlett on the other. He took a seat with Beth and looked over at Scarlett, who was making soft crying noises.
"Mommy is going to sit with you okay Scar?" Chuck told her. Scarlett started to wine.
"Sit Bee!" She whined, reaching for Beth. Chuck leaned back into his chair and sighed.
"No Scarlett, you are sitting with Mom and that is that." Chuck murmured. Scarlett started to cry again.
"Do you want me to take your red shoes again?" Chuck threatened. Scarlett's crying got softer quickly. Blair walked down the aisle and placed the bags in the overhead compartment. She looked down at Scarlett.
"Hey Lettie do you want to sit by the window like Beth is? That way Mommy can talk to Daddy. And look you can look at the pretty planes taking off!" Scarlett nodded and moved over a seat. Surprised at her willingness, Blair took out her Justin Bieber pillow and put it in the corner of her seat.
"Look Mommy brought your Bieber pillow Scar and Beth her Cinderella one so you two can take a nap!" Blair said excitedly. Scarlett plopped on her pillow and kicked her feet. Blair sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We made it Bass." She breathed, giving him a light tap on his chest. He looked over at her and laughed.
"And it's only just begun." He murmured. She moaned in response.
I hope you liked it! I think we all need some major fluff right now. I took the liberty of renaming the chapters 'cause I know some of you like that.
OH AND ALL WE HAVE LEFT ISN'T DONE OR ABANDONED! I wrote the next chapter for that one on another computer which I will hopefully have access to tomorrow. So don't worry!
I will continue to update this story and AWHL as fast as I can. School and softball kind of keep me from doing so, and I apologize. But I will never quit on any of my fics!
XOXO, Becca
P.S: Flight 26 was chosen on purpose. A lot of you probably get what I am hinting at ;)
