Chapter 10: With ME
Later that night…
"Chuck are you going to tell me where we are going so I know how to dress," she pretty much begged him.
"I picked out your dress with the help of Serena while you out getting your hair done so nope not saying a word," he said not caving into his wife.
"Fine," Blair huffed before going over to her vanity to put on her make up.
30 minutes later …
"Chuck," Blair called for her husband who was in his office, "Chuck,"
"Coming," he said as he hung up the phone with Arthur.
"I need help zipping my dress," she called again.
"You rang?" he said as he stood in the doorway.
"Yes can you please help," she whined. He walked over to her and forced the zipper up to close the dress.
"Ok I will admit it I think my dress is a little on the tight side," she sighed and looked at her husband.
"Well I guess my baby is really growing in there but you still look sexy," he said as her rubbed her belly.
"Yes and I feel like I'm getting bigger by the second," she frowned.
"Stop it right now Blair don't ruin the night I have a big surprise for you and you're the sexiest mommy to be I have ever seen," he said before he hugged her.
"Working the Bass charm now are we?" she smirked at him.
"Why of course," he winked.
"Now will you help me put the necklace on," she handed him the case. He gently put it on his wife.
"Beautiful," he said as he went and grabbed a blindfold and tied it around her eyes.
"CHUCK BASS what the Fuck do you think your doing I hope you know im going to kill you," she screamed at him," you have lost your mind blind folding your pregnant wife."
"I have not lost my mind and you are in my arms, you know I would never let anything happen to you or the baby," he said as he carefully picked her up and carried her into the elevator.
20 minutes later…
Chuck helped Blair out of the limo before picking her up bridal style again in fear she might trip over her platform heels. And carried her into the awaiting surprise. Once he got her in and everything was in place he took off the blindfold. To reveal the place where his butterflies were revealed, Victrola.
"Oh my god Chuck," she gasped as tears started to form, "you bought it back for me," she asked as she looked at the club that was filled with pink peonies and lit candles.
"Of course I did this is a sacred place Blair that night changed me it's the night you chose me," he smiled as he walked behind her and put his hand around her placing them on her belly. "It's not the only surprise I have for you so I think we should sit down and eat first," he said he pulled out her chair at the candle lit table.
"So what's on the menu?" she asked excited.
"Well I borrowed the chef's from Jean Georges to prepare your favorites," he saw the smile grow on her face.
"I'm sure Mr. Trump is thrilled," she giggled.
"Donald owes me a couple favors," he let out a chuckle.
After they finished their meals Chuck got up from the table and went up on the stage where he once watched his wife dance for him.
"Bass what are doing up there?" she asked really suspicious
"Well if you must know I need to get a couple things off my chest," he smiled back at her.
"Are you ok? What's wrong? Did I do something?" she asked worried.
"I'm fine and nothing is wrong," he smiled. He then snapped his fingers and the spotlight was on him and a microphone was handed to him.
"You know Chuck I am the only other person in this place you don't need a mic," she laughed at her husbands theatrics.
"I think it has more effect," he laughed with her, "So Blair I have a couple of things I need to tell you. So here it goes," he looked up at her before taking a big breath, " I have known you since forever and I remember the first time you talked to me it was the first day of pre-school and you came up to me, the little boy with a bow tie who was all alone, and told me that we were going to play house and you were demanding that I play the daddy I guess it was practice," he smiled at her and watched her bring her hand to her bump, "and I did, I played the daddy that day I followed your orders, you may have been called a princess back then but the truth is you were always a queen, you were always my queen," he looked into her eyes, "as close as I was to Nate and Serena I still felt like an outsider, but when I was with you I never was, you brought me into your inner circle I was never on the outside when it came to you, we were partners in crime even we were plotting and taking down each other we were always equals in every way, it should have been Nathaniel plotting away with you and taking down the kingdom we call the Upper East Side that's how it should have been, a king with his queen but it wasn't like that, you guys never really fit together perfectly. You knew from the start I was a broken little boy and knew why I acted the way I did never once did you judge me for it though to be honest some things you should have never let slide but you did, and the truth is growing up I longed for my father's approval ,but you were always the person I went to first for approval, you always mattered I always cared what you thought, that night here at victrola is when I felt it or started to realize what the fluttering feeling I always have had when I was with you was, it was Butterflies," he looked at her as his own tears ran down his face, "to answer your last question yes you did do something, you made me a man, you taught me to love, taught me that love is strong and powerful and even when I would run and do horrible things that you will always be here, you have seen me in my darkest hours, you fought for me, taught me how to fight for something," he walked off the stage and now was kneeling in front of her, "you believed in me, you helped me believe in myself, I learned because of you that I could love, I did love, I do love , and I love you, my god Blair do I love you," he kissed her hand looking up at his wife who now had tears flowing down her cheeks," the truth is if it wasn't for you, Chuck Bass would have been gone years ago I would have died if it wasn't for you and for that I am so thankful because I wouldn't have this, you, a baby on the way, a life, a life that truly is a fairytale," he kissed her belly, "I am the luckiest man in the world and I know I say this a lot but it's true because I have you and you are with me," he said as he got off his knee and stood up. He then took Blair's hand to help her up from the chair. Chuck than looked at her and brushed her tears away she couldn't speak, but that was ok, he then took another deep breath before he brought the mic back up to his mouth.
"I don't want this moment to ever end," he started to sing to her, "Where everything's nothing without you, I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you, Through it all, I made my mistakes
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'll bleed my heart out to show
That I won't let go" he continued that's when the curtains on the infamous Victrola stage opened and revealed non other then Sum 41 starting to play an acoustic version of With Me. Chuck than saw his wife start sob and he put down the mic and pulled her close to his chest and whispered in her ear, "Dance with me," and Blair still was crying but nodded her head as she rested her head on her husbands shoulder, as the band began to sing from the top.
I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everything's nothing without you
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you
he held her tight and rubbed her back as they danced trying to calm her down. He didn't mean to get her so worked up, but her hormones were all over the place, but it's all ok because they are together.
Through it all, I made my mistakes
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words
Her breathing started to slow down as she continued to dance with him.
I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'll bleed my heart out to show
That I won't let go
They continued to dance.
Thoughts read unspoken, forever in doubt
Pieces of memories fall to the ground
I know what I didn't have so, I won't let this go
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you
She was almost back to breathing normal.
All the streets where I walked alone, with nowhere to go
have come to an end
She then grabbed his hand and held it tight as he continued to dance with her, because she was with him he will never be walking alone again.
I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'll bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you don't know what you're looking to find
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you just never know what you will find (what you will find)
I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everything's nothing without you
I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'll bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go (I want you to know)
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'll bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
Blair looked up into her husbands eyes, "you forgot to say how lucky I am because your with me, I love you I love you I love you Chuck Bass," she said before crashing her lips into his.
