"Blair!"

Blair glared at the person that called her name and suddenly gasped.

"Wh-what-what are you doing here?" Blair exclaimed pulling Chuck away and covering herself quickly with some clothes.

"Who is he?!" Asked Chuck.

Blair sighed. "What are you doing here Maximilian?"

"Maxilimian? He's your-" Chuck said.

"Yes "Blair said.

"Blair, qui est ce?" Max said in his strong french accent.

Blair sighed once again. "C'est Chuck Bass"

Chuck threw a confused look to Blair. "He asked who you were and I said that you are Chuck Bass," he nodded and she smirked "You always slept in French class."

Max looked shocked "Porquoi -pourquoi ĂȘtes-vous -" he couldn't finish his own sentences and he sighed "Blair, I love you."

Blair shook her head "Max, I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore. I...love Chuck, I deeply love Chuck Bass," Blair said and Chuck smiled.

Max sighed and looked away. Blair realized the hurt in his eyes and felt confused.

Chuck gave Blair a look "I think we should get some clothes on."

Blair bit her lip "Yeah...." she blushed, "Max could you turn around for a second?"

She quickly ran upstairs with Chuck following her.

"Why is this French fuck here?" Chuck asked.

"I don't know, and what the hell is a french fuck?" Blair said and chuckled.

"Blair, I am very serious about this" Chuck said.

Blair giggled, "And so am I!"

Chuck raised a brow, in the same way she does when she is annoyed or someone isn't paying enough attention to her.

"Gosh, you are acting like a jealous boyfriend! Give me a break." She said while she was slipping into a delicate blue dress.

"Well I am a jealous boyfriend, and I won't let my stunning girlfriend be around her ex-fiance. He is french Blair, FRENCH!" Chuck explained.

"Hey, what's up with you and French people? Roman is French, my daddy is french, and so was Eleanor," Blair said.

"French aren't people you should trust. They are pigs" Chuck said.

"No, they are not! You are just too jealous and developing a childish xenophobic hate to french people because I almost married Max. Please grow up. I love you, not Max," Blair said "but please try to act normal."

Chuck sighed and got his pants on. "Fine, fine, I will act normal."

"I love you, always will," Blair said and kissed Chuck.

"I love you too Waldorf...but don't even dare to look at him for too long"

"Deal."


"Sorry about earlier. We weren't expecting your visit," Chuck said in all his politeness. Blair smiled.

Max nodded.

"So, Max, why are you here?" Blair asked.

Max sighed "I...just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry about everything." Max said in a strong french accent.

Blair smiled and Chuck gave her a look.

"Don't worry, it's okay. How long are you staying here in New york?"

"I will stay a couple of weeks.... At the palace hotel." Max said.

Chuck fake-smiled. Blair chuckled. "I own that hotel...." Chuck said

Max's face didn't show any kind of emotion at all. "Good for you," he said.

Chuck frowned, and looked at Max with anger in his eyes but Blair took his hand. "Oh yes, really good for me considering that I can do whatever Iwant...whenever I want-"

Blair slowly hit Chuck's arm and then whispered "Behave yourself Bass!"

Chuck smiled innocently and Blair rolled her eyes.

"So, why are you in New York City...besides telling me you're sorry?" Blair asked curiously.

"Business." Maximilian said emotionless again.

Blair nodded."As far as I remember you were always out for business."

Max nodded" Yeah, but work has been slow." He paused and then smiled. "You know, the wedding planner called yesterday...."

"Ugh, that was the worst wedding planner ever!" Blair said annoyed.

"Good to know for the next time." The frenchman exclaimed.

"There won't be a next time; Blair isn't going to marry you." Chuck said really jealously.

"I understand. I should get going" Max said.

"Max, we can still be friends right?!" Blair said.

"Right" Max said,

"How's little...eh...I don't remember her name"

"Yale" Chuck said really annoyed.

"Yes, Yale, how is the little girl?" Max asked.

"She is fine she is out with Serena and Nathaniel" Chuck said coldly.

"Nice." Max said.

"Yea." Chuck said.

The three of them stood silent for a couple of minutes,

"Listen, I'm hosting an architectural exhibition tomorrow at The Palace. It would be nice if both of you and Yale came" Max said.

Blair nodded, "Of course we will."

Chuck gave Blair a look and Blair smiled to him.

"Well, then I'll see you two tomorrow." Max said.

"Sure" Chuck said and faked interest.

"I really should go" Maximilian said. Chuck was making him feel to uncomfortable, and he didn't want to stay.

Blair stood up and Max kissed her cheek, Chuck immediately stood up and grabbed Blair.

"Bye" Max said and Chuck waved with his hand.

Chuck waited until Max was gone and then glanced Blair.

Chuck shock his head. "No, we are not going Blair."

"Chuck please. Why not?" Blair said with a little pout that Chuck loved.

"Because he is your ex fiance" Chuck said.

"But he is my friend" Blair said.

"We are not going" Chuck said once again.

"We are going" Blair stated narrowing her eyes and arching a brow.

"I don't want to go" Chuck said.

"But I want to go!" Blair said.

"Because he's gonna be there?" Chuck asked.

Blair rolled her eyes. "No, because I want to go out to a social event like this."

"We went to the New Year's party at The Palace, why aren't you satisfied with that?" Chuck asked.

"Because you hosted that party, can't we go to a social even that isn't hosted by you, dear?" Blair asked.

Chuck breathed out dramatically. "Fine."

Blair kissed Chuck. "You are such a drama queen, Bass"

"No, I am not." Chuck said and looked away.

"Good now, I gotta go for a while Jenny has something to tell me." Blair said and waited for a response.

Chuck ignored Blair.

"Please, Chuck, don't act like a 3 year old." Blair chuckled.

"I'm not acting like a 3 year old. I just don't think that going to a party your ex fiance is hosting is fine." Chuck said.

"Chuck, I love you...only you." She said and kissed him. "I'm really late. Are you coming?" Blair asked.

"No , Serena will bring Yale anytime soon so I'd rather stay." He said and she nodded and walked away.

God, It was so great the way she made him feel. He had never been jealous like that of someone else before. Blair was special and he knew it.

"Blair?" He asked.

"Yes?"

"I love you too" he paused and she smiled. "So much, but if that French dares to touch you I'll kill him"

"Death by scarf? Nice Bass" Blair said chuckling.

"Wait, have you been talking to Nathaniel?!"

"Chuck!!!!!!" Yale exclaimed, happily running to him. Behind her was Serena, along with Nate.

"Hey Chuck" Serena and Nate said together.

"Hey. How did Yale behave?" Chuck asked.

"Perfect, as always." Serena smiled at Yale who smiled back.

"Hey, where's Blair?" Nate asked.

"She's in the atelier. Jenny had to tell her something" Chuck said.

"Oh. Hey can we have dinner tomorrow?" Serena asked smiling.

"I don't know Blair is making us go to an exhibition at the palace. Maybe lunch?" Chuck said.

"Lunch is great. We have something to tell you guys." Serena said smiling.

"Well we have to go." Nate said. " Call you later man."

"Tell Blair I'll call her." Serena said.

"Bye Auntie S! Bye Uncle Nate!" Yale said waving her tiny hand and smiling.

As they left, Yale turned to Chuck and smiled at him.

"Wanna watch cartoons?" Chuck asked with a huge grin on his face.

"Sure" Yale said.

They both sat in the couch and turned on the tv.

"Can we go buy toys tomorrow?" Yale asked. She was smart. She knew that if she asked Blair, she would be a little harder to convince.

"Well we gotta convince your sister" Chuck said.

"Why?" Yale asked.

Chuck laughed. "Well she's our boss."

Yale giggled and turned her gaze from the tv. "Are you going to marry Blair?" Yale asked a suddenly shocked Chuck.

"Well.. I don't know. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering." Yale said.

They watched cartoons for a while until Chuck asked Yale :"So beautiful, how was the movie?"

"It was lovely! I missed you!" She said and hugged his legs. It was so amazing how Yale could brighten up his day in just one second. It had already been a couple of weeks since he met her but he felt like he had known her forever. She kept melting his heart.

Yale's eyes were set on the cartoons, but Chuck's were set on her.

"And you didn't miss me?" Blair cried playfully, walking into the living room.

"Yeah, yeah, I missed you too sis." Yale said rolling her eyes and Blair picked her up and spun her, giggling. "Where have you been sis?"

Chuck laughed. "Seems like someone is in a good mood."

"Hey It can happen! Sometimes because I increase my lexapro, Sometimes because I find out that Bendel's is interested in carrying my Audrey Hepburn inspired line." Blair said and hugged Yale.

Yale smiled sweetly to Blair. "What's lexapro? And if you have one, can we go get toys tomorrow?"

Chuck and Blair laughed. "No princess. When I said convincing her, I didn't mean that way. I'm proud of you, Blair-bear." Chuck said and kissed Blair.

Yale covered her eyes and made a face of digust.

"Call me Blair-bear again, and I'll castrate you when we're alone. Am I making myself clear?" Blair said, narrowing her eyes.

"That face is scary." Yale said to Chuck biting her lip.

"Yeah I know right?" Chuck said nodding.

Blair chuckled and sat on the couch with Yale in her lap. "Do you remember Max?"

Yale rolled her eyes. "Yes I do."

"Well, we're all going to an exibition he is hosting tomorow." Blair said and Yale arched her brows.

"Do I have to go too? Can't I stay with Auntie S?" Yale pleaded.

"Auntie S has a life, and you have to come with us because we are a family remember?"

Yale sighed. "Yes... but you're not marrying Max right?"

"Of course not."

"Then why do we have to go?" Yale asked, annoyed.

"Because Max is our friend."

"Max is not my friend!" Yale said, shaking her head.

Chuck laughed. "He's not mine either."

Yale pouted. "I don't wanna go! Can't I stay with Chuck?"

"No, because Chuck is coming and you are too." Blair said.

Both Yale and Chuck sighed dramatically. Blair let out a small laugh. "Sometimes I think you two are related"

"Fine..." Chuck said.

"Please guys, don't do this again." Blair said, rolling her eyes.

"Do what?" Yale asked, pouting.

Blair sighed. "That! Why am I always the one that ruins the fun?"

"Because you're Blair." Chuck said and kissed her cheek.

"Well you can just stop ruining the fun and we can all go buy toys tomorrow instaed of going with your friend." Yale said smiling.

Blair smiled. "Nice try."


"S!" Blair exclaimed and hugged her best friend. "Bendel's is going to carry my Audrey Hepburn inspired line and headband collection!!!"

"Oh my gosh!!! B, that's great!" Serena hugged her back.

Yale looked up to Blair and Serena and smiled.

"Hi Yale." Serena said smiling to Yale.

"Hey kiddo." Nate said and tickled the little girl.

"B, I'm so wearing one of your designs for the golden globles." Serena said.

"I'll make one especial for you. Everyone is interested in wearing one of my desings for the golden globes." Blair said rolling her eyes as she sat next to Chuck.

"Well, you are a good designer." Serena said. "Anyway, Nate and I have some really important news."

Blair gasped, excited. "Oh my god! You are getting married, right?"

Serena shook her head.

"No." Nate said laughing.

"Don't you see Blair? Nathaniel knocked my sister up." Chuck said smirking to Blair.

"No!" Serena said rolling her eyes. "Why does everyone think that?"

"We are moving in together!!" Nate said smiling.

Blair smiled "Great! You will still live in manhattan right?"

"Of course." Serena said.

"And we're planning on having and extra room for Yale." Nate said.

Blair looked at Serena and lauged. "So now you want to adopt Yale?"

"No!" Serena said and looked at Yale. "Your sister is silly. The room is for you to sleep over at out place sometimes."

"So I'm silly huh?" Blair said and laughed.

"Yes!" Yale said.

"Ok Yale, forget about going toy shopping and S, forget about your special design for the golden globes. " Blair joked.

"Sis, you are not silly at all and you are so pretty! Can we go toy shopping now?" Yale said.

All the adults laughed, but Yale didn't.

"Yale-bear, we can go toy shopping if you want." Chuck said and Yale smiled.

"Blair, you should really look out for Yale. Cause she has Chuck under her control." Nate joked and Blair laughed.


"This is boring!" Yale said and made a face.

"Yeah it is, isn't it?" Chuck whispered.

Blair was greeting people in the gala, she made sure to look as polite as possible. Max had already presented his project and everyone (but Chuck) was amazed.

"Blair! You came!" Max exclaimed and Chuck sighed.

"Max! Yeah i did. I wasn't going to let you down!" Blair said Max kissed her hand.

"So here is Yale!" Max said. Yale glared at him coldly.

"Hello." She said.

"Ciao Bambina." Max said. This annoyed Yale alot. She hated to be called a bambina because she was 'a big girl'.

"Shes not a bambina Max," Chuck said and Yale smiled proud.

Max felt like punching Chuck and Chuck felt like kicking Max's ass.

"So, Blair can I show you something?" Max asked, ignoring Chuck.

"Sure." Blair said.

"I'll go with you." Chuck said.

"Yeah," Blair said. "Let's go Max."

"Actually, It's something I need to show Blair. I'll return her in a second." Max said and Blair nodded.

"Chuck, trust me." Blair said and Chuck nodded. Yale yawned.

"Why don't you take her with Lilly?" Blair asked. "She is a little tired and we can pick her up when we get home."

Chuck nodded and picked Yale up. Blair kissed Chuck, and Chuck walked away.

"So what do you want to show me Max?" Blair asked.

"Follow me." Max said.

Blair did what she was told and they ended up in an empty room.

"What did you want to show me?" Blair asked.

"Just this." Max said and handed Blair a photo album.

"What is this?" Blair said examinating the photo album.

"I picked the pictures. It was supposed to be our anniversary present." Max said.

All the pictures were of Max and Blair together. Max and Blair in Spain, Max and Blair in France, Max and Blair in China, everywhere. But one of the pictures, It was a beautiful house. It was really sunny and big.

Blair gasped. "Our dream house?"

Max nodded "Oui. I bought it. It's on a beautiful vineyard."

Blair nodded. "I fell in love with that place the first time I saw it!"

"So you are living with Chuck now?" Max asked curiously .

"And Yale." Blair said nodding.

"What is it like?" He asked.

"It wasn't like I expected at all. I mean taking responsability of a little kid and dating my high school sweetheart all so suddenly! But i can't imagine anything better than this." She explained and smiled, she was really happy. Despite everything Chuck and her had been through, she was happy with her little family.

Max smiled seductively. "I was an idiot when I told you I didn't want you to take care of Yale."

"Honestly you were." she agreed.

"We could be a family now..." he said and got a little closer.

Blair closed her eyes. "Yes.." She paused and opened her eyes. "But I love Chuck and the little family we have."

"Blair, Chuck is just a piece of work! You deserve better! You deserve me." he said and grabbed her.

"He is all I deserve!! Let me go!!!" Blair countinued , trying to get his hands off of her. But he was too strong.

Max kissed her.

"LET ME GO!!!" Blair screamed. And Max kissed her neck. "You are so sick!!! I'm so glad i didn't marry you!"

Max tried to kiss Blair once again and the door opened.
