(Flashbacks are in italic! x)

So I travel back down that road
wish you'd come back
no one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream

and I be ridin
and I swear I see your face at every turn
I try to get my usher on but I can't let it burn
and I just hope that she notice she the only one I yearn for
no more sooner will I learn

Two more weeks had passed and Chuck was sitting in the living room of the Van der Woodson's. The pain in his chest was fading and the doctors were impressed by his quick recovery, despite this Lily was still acting as if he was on his deathbed.

"Right well, we'll only be a few hours"

Chuck nodded as he reached for the newspaper, letting out a small sigh of pain as he bent over. This only caused an already distressed Lily to worry some more.

"Oh Rufus, maybe we should cancel" Lily said as she rushed over to Chuck's side.

"I'm fine Lily, really I'm fine" Chuck reassured her as he looked over at Rufus who just sighed and gave him the same apologetic look he had been giving him for the last two weeks.

"Look Lily, Chuck's fine now and like you said we'll only be out for two hours anyways" Rufus said to his wife as Chuck stared at him hopefully.

"I guess" Lily replied. "Are you sure you're okay Charles?"

"Yes Lily, I'm fine. I promise not to move from this couch and I'll call you if I need you. Now go" Chuck ordered her his stepmother reluctantly gave up trying to stay and look after him.

"Okay…but promise you'll call, okay?"

"I promise"

Chuck sighed as he watched Lily and Rufus leave the penthouse. Lily had been great the past few weeks, but he was glad to get some alone time. However, that alone time shortly ended when he heard Serena's voice coming from the elevator.

"Dan I told you to bring his rabbit! Do you want him screaming all afternoon?"

"No Serena, sorry. Look I can go back and get it if you want"

"No it's fine. But you'll be taking him if he cries"

Chuck looked up to find himself in the company of Serena, Dan and the little boy who he guessed was his nephew.

"Chuck! How are you?" Serena rushed over to hug her stepbrother, then returning to glare at Dan.

"I'm good, thanks S. Humphrey, nice to see you too.

Dan nodded.

"And who might this be?" Chuck said as he motioned towards the little boy hiding behind Dan's legs.

"Joshua come say hello to your uncle Chuck" Serena said as she beckoned the little boy over.

"Hi" Chuck said, fascinated by the little boy facing him.

"Mommy said you were asleep. But you're not."

"Joshua! That's not nice" Serena exclaimed, shocked at what her son had just said. She was about to turn and apologise to Chuck when she found him laughing, leaving her confused.

"Yes, I was asleep. But I'm awake now" Chuck laughed at the bluntness of the little boy, maybe he wasn't so bad.

"That's good because I wanted to meet you" Joshua said as he climbed up and sat on Chuck's knee before anyone could stop him.

The three adults stared in disbelief at the little boy who was now cuddling up to Chuck and playing with his tie.

"You know I love this tie, right?" She said as she fiddled with it in her hands.

"Well you did buy it"

"I did, didn't I? Well… I have good taste" She smiled as she looked up at his deep brown eyes.

"You do know how to pick a good tie" He smirked.

She pulled him into a kiss and then whispered into his ear. "As much as I appreciate that you like my taste in ties, I much more prefer my taste in men. One man in particular" She grinned as she leant back to face him.

He smirked and kissed her cheek.

"I love you Waldorf"

She smiled. "And I love you Bass"

They had been talking for about an hour before Serena asked Dan to go fix some food up for Joshua.

"But I want to stay with Uncle Chuck" Joshua pleaded as Dan began to lift him out of Chuck's lap.

"You can see me later, okay?" Chuck said to his nephew.

Joshua nodded and let Dan lead him into the kitchen.

Chuck sighed as he noticed the look in Serena's eyes. He knew what was coming, but still he waited for her to start the conversation.

"You were thinking about her again" Serena stated. She had noticed the glistening in his eyes once again while they were talking before and she wasn't going to let it go unnoticed.

"Well?" She waited impatiently, this time she was getting an answer of him.

"Yes, okay, I was. What do you want me to say S?"

Serena sighed. "I don't know why she left Chuck. You two seemed so happy before the accident and she never left your side when you were in hospital. I don't understand what happened". She shook her head in confusion. She still didn't understand why her best friend had gone from being by Chuck's side every day to acting like she didn't know him.

"Is she happy?" Chuck asked, quietly.

Serena nodded.

"Good" It was the only word Chuck could respond with; after all he only ever wanted her to be happy. He was just sad that she wasn't with him.
