The next morning Blair awoke to the sound of giggling and the coffee pot on. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at the scene around her. She was wrapped in about five blankets with Chuck on the couch. He was still asleep, but Serena and Dan sat across from them, wide awake, looking at them in awe.
"Morning Blair, how'd you sleep?" Dan questioned and the couple started laughing. Blair sighed but couldn't help smiling. She was laying on a couch naked with Chuck Bass, and the only thing keeping her friends from seeing them nude was about five comforters. The sight was quite funny.
"Oh, morning Humphrey," she turned her head to look at Serena. "Morning Vander Woodsen. I slept fabulously. How'd you two sleep after I left?"
The two held hands and Blair knew that Serena still had not told Dan. She had her own problems to deal with.
"We slept great, like rocks. What happened here?" Serena raised an eyebrow, confused on why Blair had a sudden change of heart.
"Do you know a Victoria? She works for Bart?" Blair wanted to try to take care of this by herself. Chuck twitched and then rolled over onto his back. Blair held a finger up to her lips to silence Serena from answering. Chuck stretched and then sat up next to Blair and smiled at the group.
"Well good morning children, I hope we didn't keep you up last night. You all ready to celebrate Christmas eve?" Chuck pretended like he didn't hear Blair; knowing that he would be able to take care of it without her getting involved.
"Oh my goodness!" Jenny exclaimed as she and Nate walked into the living room. She was looking at the tree and decorations, but Nate could not keep his eyes off of Blair and Chuck; naked under blankets on the couch? Scandalous. "Who did this?"
Chuck held up his hand and everyone couldn't help but smiling. The Grinch managed to brighten up Christmas after all.
"If you don't mind me asking you to, will you please get dressed?" Serena asked them and everyone started laughing.
"Oh, sorry about that S. Will you all go into the kitchen maybe?" Blair retorted, not wanting everyone to see her bare butt. Sure it was cute, but Archibald and Humphrey did not need a peepshow. The group nodded and migrated into the kitchen. Once they were out of sight, Blair looked over at her... boyfriend and couldn't help but grin. She was glowing.
"Good morning Miss Waldorf, I can't believe we fell asleep. But I have business to take care of so I will escort you to the shower." Chuck stood up, tossing the blankets aside, and grabbed Blair by the waist and tossed her over his shoulder. She pounded her fists on his back, laughing the entire time.
"Bass, I am totally going to kick your pasty ass once you put me down." He laughed, not being able to take her seriously. He opened their bedroom door and set her down on the bed. Quickly he shut the door and went over to his nightstand to find his phone.
"Now Blair, I seriously have business to take care of. I am going to put something on and then call the office. Will you please get into the shower so that I can do this alone?" Blair did not understand why he wanted to be alone, but she promised him she'd support him no matter what.
"Of course I'll do that." She stood up and started toward the bathroom.
"I love you," Chuck said to her as he started to pull on a pair of silky red boxers.
Blair shut the bathroom door behind her, and started the shower. She needed to drown the questions she had about what Chuck was about to do.
After shaving her legs, brushing her teeth, and getting dressed, Blair Waldorf sat on a bed, contemplating what her boyfriend was talking about with his ex-mistress. Chuck had been out on the patio for over an hour, and he showed no sign of coming in soon. Most likely he called Bart as well, but the fact that he was on the phone with the other woman drove her crazy.
A knock came at the door. "Come in."
The door opened and Serena weakly smiled at Blair. "Ugh, the nausea is going to kill me." She sat down next to Blair and looked around the room. "Where's Basshole?"
Blair giggled. "He's outside breaking off his affair. Have you figured out what you're going to do?"
Serena sighed and flung her body back so she was laying down. "Yes, I know and I just hope it works out as I want it to."
"So who are you going to tell? I mean it's either Serena Archibald or Serena Humphrey." Blair stuck her tongue out, not liking the sound of either one of those names.
"I'm going to tell them both. If Dan really loves me then he will be able to take in all of this information over time and support our relationship. And with Nate I know that he'll do whatever he feels is best and not get in-between Dan and I. What's going on with Chuck?"
"He's ending his affair with his father's assistant, whom of which just happens to know dirty Bass family secrets," Blair replied as if it was just another day's drama.
Serena's eyes widened, not exactly sure if she heard Blair right. "No, he was sleeping with Victoria! Oh my goodness, what does she know?"
Before Blair could reply, the balcony door opened and Chuck walked into the bedroom. He looked very upset, and slammed his phone down on the dresser. Serena sat up and the two girls looked at him with concern.
"What's wrong?" Blair questioned. Chuck shook his head and she noticed his eyes were red and his face was blotchy. He was just crying.
Serena stood up, understanding that this was something very personal and she should let him speak to Blair. "Serena, you can stay."
Chuck sat down in a chair across from Blair and Serena, and immediately placed his head into his hands. "It's over."
That was the most reassuring thing Blair had ever heard Chuck say. Why is he crying?
"She is going to tell everyone. My father fired her and she is going to tell everyone everything. For once someone is going to outdo me." Chuck Bass was calling defeat? Wow, this girl must have much more dirt than she thought. He truly thought this woman was going to bring the Bass' down. Not if Blair Waldorf had anything to do with it.
"We only have a few days left stuck in here. Once we are able to go back home, we will rip this woman apart. But for now I need you to be strong and be excited for what the future holds for you. Like Christmas, Chuck Bass," Blair commented. He looked up at her and managed to force a weak smile on his face.
"Hey, you want some better news?" Serena asked him as he raised an eyebrow.
"Are we having a sleepover? Threesome?" Chuck questioned and the two girls giggled.
"Nope, but you are going to be an uncle, Chuck. I mean doesn't that give you something to look forward to?" Hearing Serena say that brought on so many emotions. They were still just kids and now Serena was going to have one of her own. Sure the UES would disagree with it, but to the six stuck in the cabin, this was a blessing. A reason for the six of them to remain friends for the rest of their lives. Little did they know, Chuck was going to give them another reason to stay close.
That evening, the couples played charades, ate pasta, and Serena eventually ending up telling Nate and Dan. Sure there was yelling, slamming of doors, and eventually Serena coming crying to Chuck and Blair's room, but all together it was a good night. Chuck and Blair were laying in bed watching TV when the blonde entered their room in fuzzy pink flannel pajamas and tears running down her face.
"Come in Serena, we have more room," Chuck commented as the two scooted over so that their best friend could get in bed. Once in, Serena pulled the blankets up to her chin and Blair put her arm around her.
"I can't wait to get out of here. They both got really upset but Nate handled it much better. He told me he'd do whatever he needed to do, and Dan just yelled. He said he was so disappointed and you know, I forgave him about Georgina!" Serena managed to muster all the anger she could as she slammed her fist down on the mattress. Under the covers Chuck held onto Blair's hand, thanking god that they weren't in the same situation.
"Don't let cabbage patch get to you. Tonight you can share a bed with us, S. It's like a sleepover," Blair commented with a smile. Serena looked like a pound puppy with tears filling her bright blue eyes.
"Only this time it's much hotter to sleep with two eighteen year old girls. Care to sandwich me?" Chuck questioned raising an eyebrow at the two girls.
"Ugh!" Serena sighed as she buried herself in the blankets. "You don't have to be so disgusting!"
Blair looked over at Chuck and winked. They just smiled at each other and continued watching TV.
"You know S, the family that plays together, stays together," Chuck finally commented after a moment of silence. Blair started laughing as Serena let out a heavy sigh.
"Goodness Bass, shut up. You're fine S, I'll keep him away from you. Go to sleep. Our new Vander Bass family needs it," Blair told her best friend as laid her head down next to Serena's. Chuck shut off the TV and joined the three laying down with their eyes closed. He wrapped his arms around Blair who was stroking Serena's blonde mess of curls and humming "Rock A By Baby," which was very fitting for the situation.
After five minutes of complete silence, Chuck was sure that the two girls were sleeping. He kissed Blair's ear lobe. "Merry Christmas, Miss Waldorf."
Blair moved closer to Chuck. "Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Bass."
"Soon you'll be my, Mrs." Blair smiled to herself.
"I know."
That night Chuck Bass, Blair Waldorf, and Serena Vander Woodsen all slept in the same bed. S with child, B with love, and C with a very large surprise. Christmas will not only bring eggnog and presents, but will also come included with tears.
