A/N: Hello! Thank you all again for all of the lovely reviews. I appreciate you taking the time! This chapter was delayed due to me randomly writing a Dair oneshot, and other things life threw at me, so I apologize. Lots of exciting things happen in this chapter, so I'll let you read. Enjoy!

Telling their families about their exciting baby news was everything they had hoped it to be.

The first people on their list were Vanessa and James. They figured it was only fair to tell their other closer friends right after Serena and Nate, so the day Blair turned fourteen weeks along, they planned a dinner. Both Vanessa and James were, of course, overjoyed for them, and completely excited to finally have some friends for Leo. Vanessa also admitted that since she hadn't heard anything from Blair since she helped her with the hormone shot, she assumed the cycle had failed. She was very relieved it had been a success.

Next were their parents. Very conveniently, Eleanor and Cyrus were home from France for various reasons, so Blair and Dan had both sets of parents over for dinner. After giving a tour of the house (which proved to Eleanor that a home in Brooklyn could have taste), they sat down in the living room.

Dan cleared his throat. "So, uh, we have some exciting news." He turned to Blair, who wrapped her arms around him, suddenly feeling nervous by the awaiting stares.

"I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed finally. When the screams started, all she could do was laugh.

They gave everyone the smaller facts first. Due September 10th, right after their second anniversary. She was fourteen weeks and one day. Morning sickness on and off. So tired some days she can barely see straight. So happy she (they) could barely see straight.

Hugs were given all around. Tears were shed. Everyone was so joyous, it was like a scene out of a movie. Once everyone calmed down some, Blair eyed Dan, knowing they saved the best for last.

As nonchalantly as she could, Blair turned to the parents again. "Oh, and did we mention we're having twins?" she said with a coy smile, which quickly morphed into a beaming grin when she heard them all scream again. Cyrus announced there would be a nursery built in their home, Eleanor announced she would start a baby line, Rufus patted Dan on the back, so utterly proud of his son he was speechless, and Lily was just thrilled at least someone was giving her a grandchild.

And when Blair felt Dan's hand take hers, she really didn't think it was possible for anyone to be happier.

The next week, Blair spent most of her time with her mother. She and Cyrus were only in for a short amount of time, so Blair took advantage of it. On the final day of her trip, Blair took her out for a goodbye lunch.

"I know I'm a lot bigger than you're used to," Blair said sitting down, only half-kidding.

"Oh hush, darling. You look magnificent," Eleanor returned with a smile, meaning every word. "I still can't believe it! I am just so excited for you and Daniel."

Blair beamed. "Thanks, we're very excited for their arrival."

"And twins! I've been meaning to ask...do multiples run in Dan's family?"

Blair's breath hitched. She knew she couldn't avoid telling her mother forever, but she was still caught off guard. "Actually, mom, there's something I haven't told you."

Eleanor's face paled. "What, darling? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," Blair said quickly. "Well, not anymore. Dan and I had trouble conceiving, and so our only option was IVF."

Eleanor looked confused. "Trouble conceiving? Why?"

Quite honestly, Blair was sick of telling the reason. Although there was a happy ending, the fact that the problem was her still made her feel a bit...ashamed. Not to mention, it always put her in a sad mood.

"Well, we did some testing and it turns out I have very blocked fallopian tubes. It was something completely random and unavoidable that unfortunately happened to us. But it's okay now. It's been a long road, but we're okay."

Eleanor was near tears by the time Blair finished. "Blair, dear. Why didn't you tell me?"

Blair shrugged and smiled. "I didn't want to worry you. It was just something Dan and I had to go through on our own."

Eleanor quickly wiped away a tear. "I'm so sorry, Blair. I had no idea." She reached across the table and took her daughter's hand.

"It's okay! And stop crying, or you'll make me cry. It's no secret my hormones are in overdrive."

"Alright, alright," she said, waving her hand. "But get used to the tears, because I'm sure I'll cry at your shower, when they're born, their first Christmas..."

As her mother trailed off, Blair felt so grateful that her previously quarrels with her mother were long gone. Even though she had felt the pressure growing up to be thin, other than that, her mother was really everything she wanted. She never felt unloved or unwanted, and as a soon-to-be parent, she could only hope her kids felt the same way.

::

Today was like Paris Fashion Week mixed with New York Fashion Week, with a dash of their wedding day. Today they were finding out if they were having two girls, two boys, or one of each. Since they announced the happy news to their family, they had been to two doctor's appointments. They had had an ultrasound each time, but the babies had been difficult and crossed their legs. Blair was now seventeen weeks along, proudly showing, and praying they could find out today. She had even began to feel movement. She screamed the first time, thinking something was wrong, but after some reassurance from Dan, she realized it was completely normal. And absolutely amazing.

"So you still want to find out what you're having?" the doctor asked once Blair was on the table.

"Yes!" Blair said excitedly. "Although, we don't want you to tell us now. Can you write it down so we can open it later?"

"Sure," the doctor said. "Let's just look at their growth and make sure everything's okay. I'll tell you when to look away, just in case."

"I highly doubt I'll be able to read the ultrasound screen," Dan joked.

"You'd be surprised," she replied with a knowing smile.

Dan swallowed. "Oh, well, I'll just look away then."

"Let's hope they're cooperative today," the doctor said, squeezing the gel onto Blair's stomach.

Dan laughed. "Well, if they're anything like their mom, they'll cross their legs until they're born," he teased, pressing a kiss to Blair's forehead.

"Hey!" Blair scolded him harmlessly. "As long as they have my fashion sense, I don't care if they are as stubborn as I am. But I really hope we find out today. I want to start shopping!"

Dan shook his head and laughed, inwardly loving that she was more excited than nervous at the moment.

The doctor placed the wand on Blair's stomach and for the next hour, scanned each baby carefully from head to toe. She announced they were both perfectly healthy and, much to Blair and Dan's excitement, was able to tell both genders. After handing them the sealed envelope, Blair and Dan walked hand-in-hand to their car. Once stopping for some bread, they parked and strolled their way to an empty bench in Central Park, right next to the duck pond.

While Blair started throwing pieces of bread to the ducks, Dan walked to a nearby stand to get lemonade and muffin to share.

After taking a sip, Blair turned to Dan. "This reminds me of our second date," she said smiling, taking a bite of the muffin.

"You're right," Dan replied, remembering the day they walked around the flea market in Paris. After they had gotten what they needed for the article, they had rested on a bench and shared lemonade and a croissant. They had been just getting to know each other then, but Blair had already fallen. She blushed when she remembered that when she kissed him, he had tasted like lemon and chocolate.

"We've come a long way," she said, placing a light hand over her stomach. "Did you think we would be married and having twins then?"

Dan though for a moment. "Yeah," he said finally.

She raised a brow.

"Okay, maybe not the twins part," he laughed, kissing her temple. "Speaking of which..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the folded envelope. "Ready to find out what we're having?"

Blair bit her lip, but failed at suppressing a smile. "Yes."

"Here-" Dan handed her the envelope. "You open it."

She pushed it away. "No- you. I get to carry them for nine months. It's only fair that you get to find out first."

"Okay," he said, taking a deep breath. He stared at the envelope for a moment before slowly ripping it open, his heart beating out of control. After unfolding the paper, he carefully read it.

And Dan swore his heart stopped for a moment.

Two little girls.

Two little girls.

Two little girls that – he was sure – would be the spitting image of Blair. With her enthralling eyes, her chestnut curls, her rosy dimples, her devious smirk, her way of making him give into whatever the hell she wanted, her courageous exterior, her heart of gold. These little girls would be the death of him, and he couldn't wait.

"Dan?" she asked, staring at her speechless husband, practically on the edge of her seat.

Her voice snapped him out of his trance. He cleared his throat. "We're having girls."

And Blair couldn't help but gasp. Two little girls! Her life would forever consist of dresses and bows and curtsies. Ballet or basketball, she was going to love these little ladies with all her heart.

"Oh I'm so excited!" she exclaimed, tears flooding her eyes. "I really didn't care what they were, but now that I know they are girls, I can't imagine it any other way."

"I know!" Dan said, still staring at the words, Twin A: Girl; Twin B: Girl. He tore his eyes away from the paper to look at Blair. "I love you so much," he said wrapping his arms around her.

"I love you too," she echoed, wiping her eyes. "And these little girls."

"So," Dan began, taking her hand, "I'm guessing you want to go shopping now, right?"

Blair sighed happily. "I thought you'd never ask."

And so they made their way to Estella – the hippest baby store in all of Manhattan – where they each picked out two (four) things. They set a fifteen-minute limit, and went off to search for their favorite item.

When time was up, Blair anxiously waited in the middle of store for Dan. He appeared a moment later with his hands behind his back, looking for exhilarated than before.

"What did you find?" Blair asked curiously, now hiding what she had found as well.

"Oh nothing," he sighed. "Just a little something for the Hamptons." He brought his hands to the front and revealed two tiny bathing suits.

Blair gasped, immediately dropping her items on the clothing shelf beside her. She didn't care if Dan saw what she had picked; she had to get her hands on these suits. "Ohmygoodness these are adorable."

Dan smiled proudly. "I know." One was a yellow one-piece with white polka dots, and the other was white with yellow polka dots. Each looked like a dress and each were equally adorable. The cutest feature? The small ruffles outlining the skirt.

Blair held one up the air. "And they're so small! Can you believe we're going to be responsible for two little people this tiny?"

Dan shook his head in awe. "No, I can't. And these aren't even newborn. Depending on when they're born, they'll be nine or ten months by next June."

Blair stared at them in silence for another moment. "Nice selection, Humphrey."

"Thanks. But Blair- you have to see the other suits. They had the skimpiest bikinis I have ever seen. For a baby. A baby! Our girls will never been seen in those. Ever."

Blair smirked. "Look at you, already an overprotective father." She brought a hand up to his cheek. "But I agree. If they even try wearing something like what you're describing, they won't be let out of the house."

Dan laughed. "What did you pick out?"

Blair smiled. "Oh, just something small. I figured the girls needed their first books. So I got 'Goodnight Moon' and 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.'"

"Oh wow! I haven't seen these books in years," he said, opening one of them up.

Blair smiled at his reaction. "Our girls are going to know how to read by the age of two."

"Damn right they are," Dan said, eyes still glued to the book. He paused and looked up to her.

"What?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. You just said, 'our girls.' Knowing they're girls makes them seem so much more real."

Blair smiled. "Well they are definitely real, and moving around like crazy," she said, bringing Dan's hand up to her stomach. She had done this many times already, but she still loved the expression on his face when he felt one of them moving beneath his hands.

"Amazing," he breathed out, before leaning down to kiss her. "Their mom isn't half-bad either," he winked.

Blair gave a dimpled grin. "Alright, before you make me melt with cheesiness, let's pay and get out of here." And so they happily made their first baby purchase.

For the next few weeks, life was smooth and worry-free. Blair took on a few photography clients, most of whom were, ironically, newborns and their parents. The entire time while photographing them, Blair marveled at their tiny size and couldn't believe she and Dan were going to have two of them. And two girls. She loved saying it, and wanted to shout it from their rooftop. But as hard as it was, she was determined to keep it a secret. And she knew Serena would not be happy. She was right.

"B! I cannot believe you and Dan aren't finding out what you're having. When I have kids, I am finding out the second my kids spread their legs," Serena said.

"S!" Blair laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Don't give me that look B. I know for sure you could have found out already. Didn't you just have your twenty week scan?" Serena asked, remembering how all of last week, Blair went on and on about how excited she was for their ultrasound.

Blair nodded. "For your information, we did find out what we are having."

"What?" Serena shrieked. "Why didn't you tell me? What are you having?"

"Relax, Serena," Blair chuckled. "I didn't tell you because there's nothing to tell. We found out, but you, my friend, have to wait." She knew her sly smile would send Serena over the edge.

Serena's jaw dropped. "Oh no, no, no. That is not happening. How the hell am I going to, oh I don't know, throw a shower for you, spoil those kids rotten before they're even here–"

Blair held up a hand to stop her. "Stop right there. I will of course let you spoil them rotten whether you know their gender or not. However, Dan and I want to keep it our secret. You'll find out when they're born."

"What about the shower?"

Blair thought for a moment. "I actually have an idea for it– not that I need one. But since Dan and I will be handling the nursery ourselves, we won't need cribs or changing tables or anything. We'll handle the strollers and carseats too. Therefore, instead of those sorts of gifts, I want everyone to bring books. Doesn't matter if they are for two-year-olds or five-year-olds. I just want my–" she paused, making sure she didn't say 'girls,' "kids to have lots of books."

Serena sighed. "If that didn't sound like such a sweet idea, I'd be more mad at you," she said with a small frown. "And as for clothes, I will just have to buy things for each gender."

Blair raised a brow. "And what? Return the wrong ones once you know what gender my children are?"

"Yeah," her friend replied. A moment later, Serena brightened up some. "Or...I could just save the clothes for when Nate and I have kids! It's a win-win situation."

Blair shook her head. "I'm sure Nate will be thrilled with that idea," she said, not hiding her sarcasm in the slightest.

"Yes. I think so too," Serena smiled, completely oblivious to Blair's tone. "Okay, so I will plan a gender neutral shower filled with books. Any other requests?"

"Just that it is low-key. Seriously, S– nothing fancy. Maybe just a small lunch and tea," Blair pressed. She quickly added, "And cupcakes! I don't know what it is, but they're all I can think about these days."

Serena laughed. "Okay. That sounds doable," she said, typing it all down on her phone. "Alright, well I have to head out. I will let you know the dates I am thinking, and then you can pick one."

"Okay! That sounds great," Blair said, hugging her friend goodbye. Once she was gone, Blair had nothing to do. She had no clients for the afternoon, no meetings planned, no housework to do. The perfect time to visit Dan, she thought, slowly making her way out of the restaurant.

A short car ride later, she stepped into the elevator at his publisher's office. She smiled, remembering the last time they were here– it was the day Dan found out his book would be published. It was also the day she met Lindsey, Blair remembered as she stepped out of the sliding doors. Lindsey slipped from her mind once she saw Daphne, the cheery office receptionist.

"Mrs. Humphrey! So good to see you!" she said with a jolly grin.

Blair was taken aback, impressed that she remembered her. "It's nice to see you too, Daphne."

"Congratulations! I am so excited for you and Dan," she said, gesturing to Blair's stomach. There was no hiding now that she was pregnant, although Blair still found herself a little shocked when someone mentioned it.

Blair smiled warmly. "Thank you. We are both thrilled as well. Speaking of, have you seen my husband?"

"Oh yes! He should be out of a meeting in the next few minutes. I'll just take you to his office so you can sit and wait there," Daphne said, leading the way. "Can I offer you some tea? Or water? Oh! Someone brought in the most delicious cupcakes today for someone's birthday. Would you like one?"

Blair held in a gasp. "Oh, that sounds amazing. I would love one," she said calmly, despite her overwhelming desire to scream give me one now.

A few minutes later, Blair was sitting happily on Dan's office couch when he walked in the door.

"Blair? What a nice surprise," Dan said, leaning down to kiss her.

Blair gave a proud smile. "I thought so too. How's your day been?"

"Good. Busy. I'm glad you're here. I needed a break," he said, sitting on the edge of his desk.

"Oh really?" she said, standing up to walk over to him. When she wrapped her arms around him, she noticed another cupcake sitting on his desk. Dan noticed her gaze.

"I was going to bring that home tonight. But if you want it now..." He reached behind and picked it up. "I supposed we can do that too."

"I shouldn't. I already had one," Blair said unconvincingly, still eyeing the cupcake.

"Oh. Well I'm sure you'll change your mind once I do this–" Dan brushed the cupcake against the tip of her nose, covering it in frosting. Before Blair could even complain, Dan's lips were on her, kissing it off.

"Or this..." He pushed the cupcake against her mouth, icing her mouth. Blair moaned once his lips were on hers, kissing and licking it off. When he cleaned it all up, she tangled her fingers in his hair and pulled him into a kiss. The combination of Dan and the cupcake were far too overwhelming, and she found herself getting lost in his lips.

"Am I interrupting something?" came a voice Blair never wanted to hear again. They quickly pulled away from each other, wiping their mouths, and turned to the intruder.

Lindsey.

"Uh, no," Dan said, and Blair smiled at the irritation in his voice. "My wife just stopped by to say hello."

"Oh riiight!" Lindsey said, and Blair cringed at the accent again. "It's good to see you again!"

"You too," Blair replied back with a small wave.

"I'll come back. I was just coming by to go over the final book tour schedule," she said, waving a piece of paper in her hands.

Wait, what? "Book tour? What book tour?" Blair asked, turning to Dan.

"Well for Dan's book, of course!" Lindsey answered in a tone that said why wouldn't you know that?

"Lindsey, could you please give us a few minutes?" Dan asked, narrowing his eyes, and obviously aggravated at his publisher.

"Sure thing," she said, shutting the door, completely unaware she was the reason for the mood shift in the room.

"Dan?" she backed up and crossed her arms, waiting for him to explain. The movement only emphasized her stomach further, and Dan fought a smile.

He sighed. "I have to do it, Blair. It's promotion for the book."

"And that's great, Dan. And I completely understand its importance– but you're missing the point. Why is this the first I've heard of it? I feel like the wife who doesn't know anything. What are the details? When will you be going? Where will you be going?"

"The first trip is in two weeks," he said hesitantly.

If this affected her, she didn't show it. "For how long?"

"We have five four-day legs."

"What?" she practically shrieked. "Dan, I'll be six months pregnant. With twins. I can't have you that far away. I don't want you that far away. What if something goes wrong? "

Dan sighed and pulled her into him again. "Blair, you can't worry about that all the time. You're healthy; you're doing everything right. If we didn't have to go, we wouldn't."

"We?" Blair asked, pulling away slightly.

"Yeah, me and Lindsey."

Blair closed her eyes and rested her forehead against Dan's. "I really don't want to be mad at you. Especially here. But you're making it very difficult."

Dan pulled away and pressed his lips to her forehead. "I know, and I'm so sorry Blair. I will do whatever I can to make the trips as short as possible, okay? In fact, I'll head to Lindsey's office now and do that. You just go home and try not to worry about it."

Blair sighed and picked up her purse. "Fine. But you better figure out a way to make a back to New York in one hour flat. No matter where you are in the country."

"Blair, that's imposs-"

Her glare cut him off.

"I'll do my best," he said, kissing her goodbye. "I'll see you at home."

"Love you."

"Love you too." She was barely out the door before he picked up the phone. "Chuck? It's Dan...Humphrey. I know I'm not on the list of people you want to talk to, but I have a favor to ask. It's about your jet..."

A/N: Yup. I'm bringing Chuck into the story...slightly. How was this chapter? Do you approve of two girls? :) Remember I'm on tumblr, and I love chatting with readers. So follow me! My tumblr name is ivorykeys09.
