Three months later....

Blair was now a week shy of nine months of pregnancy and could deliver any day now.

Blair and Chuck were sitting on their sofa sipping coffee, decaf for Blair. They were in their pajamas still. Blair was reading a fashion magazine and Chuck was looking at Blair. He had his coffee in his right hand and his left hand was on Blair's large pregnant belly. He was eying her closely, with a knowing smirk on his face.

"What?" Blair asked, not lifting her head from the magazine.

"Nothing." Chuck sipped his coffee.

"Why are you looking at me then?"

"How is Jacqueline this morning?" Chuck asked to distract her from her question.

"Audrey is fine." Blair answered. Not realizing that he was trying to distract her.

"I'm glad Jacqueline is fine."

"Audrey is glad your glad. "

They still could not decide on a name. Chuck was pushing for his name and Blair was pushing for hers. They agreed that when the baby was born, they would pick. If she looked like an Audrey, then her name would be Audrey and visa versa.

Chuck was gawking again.

"Seriously, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"I was imagining your expression."

"What are you talking about?" Blair asked as she lifted her head from the magazine and looked at him.

"I was imagining the expression on your face when you see your present." He smirked at her.

"Present?"Blair dropped her magazine and sat erect. She was like a small child at Christmas when it came to presents.

Chuck snickered, "Yes, my love, I got you a present." he sipped his coffee.

"Well......"

"Well.....What?" Chuck asked, trying to be aloof.

"Where is my PRESENT?!!!" she demanded. "Give it!"

Chuck smiled from ear to ear.

"Its not here." he said calmly, still smiling wide.

"WHAT?!!" Blair screamed and stood up.

"Calm down." Chuck reached for her hand, but she folded her arms.

"Where the hell is it?"She asked in an irritated but more calm voice.

"Its at your father's house." Chuck was so amused with his wife. He loved pushing her buttons anyway he could.

Blair walked from the couch to the bedroom and dressed herself. Chuck had never seen Blair get ready that quickly. She just put on a loosely fitted sun dress and white sandals.

She brought out a simple button-up shirt, shorts, and flip-flops for Chuck (It was similar to the outfit he wore to the beach in Summer kind of Wonderful.)

"Get dressed." she commanded.

"I have to shower first, I stink."

"No you don't. Musky is all the rage."

"No its not."

"Fine, go wash under your arms and put on deodorant. You don't need to take a whole shower just to get my present."

Chuck got up from the couch and started walking slowly to the bathroom. It was much to slow for Blair.

"Hurry up!"She slapped his ass ,like a horse, a couple of times.

"Mrs. Bass," he warned, "That kind of touching is not going to make me hurry. Its going to make me horny."

"Oh.... get dressed. I want my present."

Chuck kissed the tip of her nose.

He put on extra deodorant, cologne and his clothes in five minutes.

As soon as he was dressed, Blair pulled his hand and started power walking out the door.

"Hey!! Slow down." Chuck said. He grabbed Blair's shoulders and guided her to their golf cart.

Chuck was so nervous about Blair over exuding herself, that he purchased a golf cart so they could drive from house to house.

Chuck parked in front of Harold's house. He helped Blair out of the golf cart and the couple walked to and through the door.

Chuck and Blair walked hand and hand into the living room.

"BLAIR!!!!"

"SERENA!!!!"

The bubbly blond ran to Blair and pulled her into a giant hug.

"What are you doing here?" Blair asked completely thunderstruck.

"I came to see you, of course." Serena released her friend. "Look at you." Serena looked at Blair's large belly with a wide grin on her face.

"I know, I'm a whale."

Chuck scoffed.

"Chuck!" Serena squealed and she threw her arms around his neck. She had been so focused on Blair, she completely forgot about Chuck.

"Hey S," Chuck returned her hug.

"What are you guys doing here so early, Chuck? I thought you wanted me to wait until the afternoon to see her."

"I did. But when she heard she was getting a present, she was so eager..."

"How long have you been here?" Blair interrupted.

"Since last night."

"She was here yesterday and you didn't tell me?" Blair whined.

"Sweetheart..."

"I got in late and Chuck wanted you to sleep." Serena stated

"I'm going to let you girls catch up." Chuck said.

"Your leaving?" The tears started to well up in Blair's eyes.

"Yes, so you and Serena can catch up. Girl Talk and what not." Chuck pulled Blair to him and kissed the top of her head. Blair lifted her head and kissed him on the lips. They continued to kiss each other goodbye for a good two minutes. "I'll be back later."

Blair still had tears in her eyes when Chuck walked out the door. She had grown so attached to him. She hated when he was far away from her for even 10 minutes. It was okay if he was in a different room of the house, but she didn't like it when he was completely away from her.

Serena stood there awestruck at the scene she had just witnessed. Chuck and Blair were like a real married couple. Did Chuck just say sweetheart? Oh my goodness, a lot had changed.

xoxoxoxo

After Chuck had left, the girls went into the living room and sat on opposite sofas. They sat quietly for a few minutes.

"So....How are you?" Serena asked as she got up from the sofa she was on and sat next to Blair.

"The baby is due in a week. She may be here sooner." Blair said.

"Oh...You are going to be a mommy really soon."Serena giggled. "Is she kicking?"

"Oh my gosh!" Blair nodded and smiled wide. She grabbed Serena's hand and put it on her stomach. "She kicks, she walks, she runs, she jumps, she flies. You feel that? She just did a back flip."

"How did you decorate the nursery?"

"I have purchased so many things. Everything you can imagine for a baby girl. We had the walls painted, pink, last week. We still haven't completed the nursery."

"Well, Mommy and Daddy, you two better hurry up."

"Chuck was supposed to help me arrange everything today."

"Why don't you guys get a decorator?" Serena shrugged.

"I didn't want to. I wanted it to be designed by us."

"That is sweet, Blair. Does the baby have a name?

"We are still debating that one."

"I'm sure you want Audrey. What does Chuck want?"

Blair rolled her eyes, "Jacqueline."

"They are both lovely names."

"Except Jacqueline." Blair added. They both laughed. "How are you S?"

"I'm okay. At the end of last semester, Georgina came back to New York." Serena stated and Blair made a sound of disgust. "She tried to mess with me, but I didn't let her. My relationship with Dan suffered at first. We are better now. I have been in the Hamptons for most of the summer. The four of us have been hanging out at the beach."

"Four of you?" Blair asked.

"Yes. Me and Dan......and......Nate and Vanessa." Serena was upset at herself for saying the N word.

"Nate? How is he?"

"The same. He seems to like Vanessa a lot."

Blair felt a huge lump in her throat. She had not thought about Nate in so long, but right now she wanted to rip ,that bitch, Vanessa's hair out.

"I'm sorry B. I shouldn't have mentioned it." Serena said. "How about we get out of here and go shopping?"

"Are you kidding? Chuck will have a heart attack!" Blair began giggling as she imagined the look on Chuck's face. "He is so protective. If I walk to fast or to much, he looses it. If I do anything that requires physical energy, he goes insane....Well almost anything."

"What do you mean, almost?"

"He insisted that we have sex as much as possible because that is good for the baby." Blair laughed sarcastically.

"To much information, B!!"

"You asked, S!!"

"Well... why don't we bake cookies and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's?"

"Deal!" Blair screamed happily.

Serena went into the kitchen and started searching for ingredients, and Blair found a cookbook. The girls decided on chocolate chip cookies. After the cookies were finished, they settled on the couch with their cookies and the movie.

xoxoxoxo

It was in the late afternoon when Chuck came back. He found Blair and Serena asleep on opposite couches in the living room. Both were facing the television. Serena was laid out so nicely on her sofa. Why was his wife scrunched up like a ball? If she stayed scrunched like that, she would wake up with cramping for sure. Chuck straightened her legs and positioned her body so she was lying flat on her back.

"Much better." he said under his breath. He looked at the television and noticed the DVD menu screen for Breakfast at Tiffany's. He chuckled to himself when he saw it.

"That's my girl." he murmured. Then he placed his hands on her soft, big, round belly. "Well baby girl, you better get used to Moon River. That is mommy's theme song."

"Chuck?" Blair whispered sleepily.

"Yes, my love?"

"You're here?"

"Yes, my love." Chuck snickered at Blair. She was still half asleep. "Did you and Serena have a nice time? I'm happy to see the two of you napping and not shopping."

"I knew you would."

"How about we wake up Serena and I take you two back to our house to see your present."

"I thought Serena was my present."

"She is more of a distraction really."

"You, Charles Bartholomew Bass, are such a sneak."

"And you love it."

Chuck bent down and pecked her lips. Then he pulled Blair up to a sitting position. He walked over to Serena and pulled her up to a sitting position as well.

Serena was startled awake.

"Sorry sis. Its time to go back to my house. I had my father-in-law's house keeper make up a bed for you in our living room. All of your stuff is there."

"Thanks." Serena answered lethargically.

Chuck walked back to Blair and helped her stand. He held her hand and said, "Let's go ladies."

xoxoxoxo

"Where is my present, Bass?" Blair asked impatiently.

"Go look in the baby's room."

Blair opened the door to the nursery and she stared at the room in disbelief.

"Oh Chuck! I can't believe you did this! Its so perfect. Perfect!!!" Blair exclaimed.

Chuck came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. He snuggled his face into the back of her neck. Blair turned in his arms, threw her hands around his neck and began peppering his face with small, sweet kisses.

"It's beautiful." Blair cried.

Chuck had put baby's room together. It was the perfect little girl's nursery. It had pink walls, white lace curtains and everything girlie. It was truly sugar and spice.

"S, come and look at my baby's nursery." Blair said. Her arms were still tight around her husband's neck.

"Chuck, it's beautiful." Serena said.

"Thank you." He laughed. Blair had found a spot on his neck that was very ticklish.

"Oh!!!!" Blair cried in pain. She placed her hand on her swollen stomach.

"What's wrong, Blair?" Serena asked in a concerned voice as she walked towards the couple.

"It's hurts!!" Blair cried again and her knees began to give out under her. Chuck caught her before she fell. He lifted her into his arms and carried her to the sofa. He sat down first with her on his lap. He put his hand on her stomach.

"What hurts exactly?" he asked. "What the hell?" Chuck was in shock when all of the sudden he found that Blair and himself were soaked in water.

"I think that....that....that... my water....has...um broken." Blair stuttered.

"We have got to get to the hospital!!" Chuck exclaimed, but he tried to remain calm, "Serena, in our bedroom, there is a packed suitcase. Would you please grab it?"

Serena went to the room and found the suit case. Chuck got on his cell phone and called his father-in-law and told him that the baby was coming. Harold sent a car to Chuck and Blair's house. Chuck carried Blair to the car and Serena followed with the suit case.

xoxoxoxo

Blair was admitted into the hospital at 6pm. It was now 2am. She was tired and had been in labor for the last 8 hours. She was completely sweaty and uncomfortable. The doctor gave her an epidural, which helped with the pain.

Chuck was next to her. He was trying to make her as comfortable as possible. He pulled her hair back from her face and placed it in a messy bun on top of her head. He continuously ran a wet cloth over her face, shoulders and chest to keep her cool.

Serena, Harold and Roman were in the waiting room, trying to be patient.

"Madame Bass. You are dilated to 10 centimeters. It is time to push." The doctor told Blair. "Monsieur Bass. Support her back while she pushes, and remind her to breathe." The doctor instructed Chuck.

"Okay Blair." he whispered in her ear. "You heard the doctor, honey. Breath in a pattern like they taught us in Lamaze." Chuck began to do the breathing pattern in her ear.

"I can't. I can't!!!" Blair cried.

"You can, breath with me." Chuck coached.

To his delight, Blair began to breath in a pattern.

"Madame. I need one big push!" The doctor said. "Push!! 1...2...3...4....Push!! 1...2...3...4..."

Chuck began to count along with the doctor.

"The baby's head is out. I need one more big push and it's over!" The doctor exclaimed.

"Oh!!!!!" Blair sobbed.

"Don't you give up!! You can do this. One more big one." Chuck continued to coach in her ear.

All of a sudden, the world went white for Blair. She was seeing stars. Finally she snapped awake with the sound of a baby's cries and a group of people applauding.

"You did it! You did it!" Chuck cried in her ear. Blair turned to see that his eye's were red and tear's were on his cheeks. Then the realization hit her. Her baby was here!!!

"She's here!! Oh Chuck our baby girl is here!!!!" Blair cried. Chuck kissed her lips haphazardly and helped her lay back down on the delivery table.

"Yes. We're a family!" Chuck was still crying and so was Blair.

The doctor approached the couple with a small baby wrapped snugly in a blanket.

"Congratulations!! You have a beautiful, healthy baby boy!"
