Blair hesitated before knocking at the loft's door. What excuse did she have for being here? Before she had time to think the door was opened. Dan looked like he was in the process of heading out. He was holding a baby carrier with Sophia in it. Blair recognised that it used to be hers and suppressed a smile.

"Oh, Hey Blair" said Dan surprised to see her. "I thought you'd be at school right now."

"Um, yeah... I cut class." She replied embarrassed to admit it. "Are you going somewhere?"

"I was going to register Sophia's birth and pick some more stuff while I was out." Dan noted the sad expression that crossed Blair's face when he said he was leaving with Sophia. "Wanna come with?"

"Sure." She smiled.

They started heading downstairs; Blair took the diaper bag off Dan's shoulders so he wasn't carrying too much. A moment of silence passed between the two who weren't used to spending time together.

"Thanks for all the baby stuff by the way." Dan thanked genuinely

"Oh it's no problem. It's good to see it put to use." She mused "What stuff do you still need?"

"Not much- by the looks of it you've covered all her toy and clothing needs." Laughed Dan "My mom's bringing my old crib out of storage today."

"Oh. So you told you're mom?"

"Yep, that was a 'fun' conversation."

"I'll bet."

Blair and Dan arrived at the registry office and waited in what seemed like a never ending queue. When they were finally at the front of the line a 50-something redheaded lady greeted them.

"I'd like to register my daughter's birth."

"Aw, she's a cutie." She said looking down at Sophia, who was still in the baby carrier. The redhead dug out a form. "Okay honey; just fill in all the information on the sheet, there's a table over there. Bring it back to me once you're done and you'll both need proof of ID."

"Oh I'm not her mother!" laughed Blair realising the woman thought she was Sophia's momma.

"Oh sorry, I just assumed." She apologised then looked at Dan. "Are you married to the mother?"

"No. But I've got custody and I've got the paperwork here to prove it." Dan passed Blair the baby carrier containing Sophia. Then he rifled around in his bag for the paperwork which he found and passed to the lady.

"Right, I'll process these, you just fill out the sheet where you can."

"Thanks." said Dan and Blair in unison, walking over to the table.

Dan filled out Sophia's date of birth, place of birth but paused when he got to the name section.

"Name?" he said allowed

"Sophia... duh." Replied Blair

"I know but what about her middle name?"

"I don't know. Sophia Jenny? Sophia Alison? Or just Sophia?" she suggested

"Nah... Sophia Blair sounds goo though."

"Seriously?" she asked stunned

"Yeah! Why not? I mean, if it wasn't for you she wouldn't be here with me."

"You don't have to..."

"But I really want to, Blair." He interrupted sincerely

"Sophia Blair Humphrey it is then." She smiled then tickled Sophia "That's your name, Soph. It is... yes it is." She said reverting to baby talk. Dan just shook his head.

After the registry office they went shopping for the few bits and pieces Blair hadn't included in the boxes she'd sent over. Dan was shocked at how much everything cost- even the basic no frills stuff was extortionate. He didn't want to think how much Blair's stuff would've cost him; everything she'd sent over had a label or expensive brand attached to it. Turns out she'd been well dressed even in diapers.

Across the store a teenage cashier noticed Dan and Blair with Sophia, without them catching her she took a photo from her mobile and uploaded it to Gossip Girl. Within 30 minutes half of the Upper East Side knew about Dan's new baby. There was no escape for Blair either who was photographed holding Sophia's baby carrier, much to the confusion of Serena.
