Chapter 20
Author's Note: Thank you so much for your continued support of this story! With season five starting soon, I'm apprehensive about where Chair's saga will go with the new writers. Hopefully it won't be as depressing as season four but I'm not too optimistic =/ I watched the promo for season five and the only part I liked was how hot Ed Westwick looked in that leather jacket with his hair all disheveled. How is it that he keeps getting hotter and hotter? Love it!
I want to say thank you to Svenjen for pointing out that Blair would not go into early menopause. I've revised chapter 19 to reflect this and will address it accordingly in this chapter. Thanks!
The latest chapters of The Way We Were and Beauty and the Beast have been updated. I also posted a new story, Could it Be. It's my take on what happened after 4x22 if Blair were pregnant with Chuck's baby. I hope you check it out and leave a review =)
SoonerThanLater – Thank you! So happy you enjoyed the last chapter. There are more B and C parenting moments and I look forward to reading your thoughts.
TriGemini – Thank you so much! There are more parenting moments for Chuck and Blair as well as their relationship strengthening. In regards to season five, I don't think Blair's wedding to Louis will actually happen. However, based on the preview I saw it seems like Chuck has reverted back to his old ways of sleeping around as well as becoming somewhat of an adrenaline junkie. I still hope for Chair as endgame but I don't think the writers will allow for that until the end of the series. But I'll watch with one eye closed and wish for the best. I saw some stills from shooting and Chair seems happy but you never know with this show =/ As always, looking forward to reading your next review.
Pty – Thanks so much! I love Rufus and feel he is so underutilized on the show. Looking forward to what you think of Blair and Chuck's interaction in this chapter. OMG, season five is almost here! They better not have a weird Dan-Blair-Chuck love triangle because I can't handle that. I so want Chair to have some happiness but am braced for disappointment. Looking forward to more spoilers and your next review.
Krazy4Spike – Thank you! Don't you just love when Chuck is patient and gentle with Blair? I know I do =*) Can't wait to read your thoughts on this chapter.
MissTink1987 – Thanks! I want my own Chuck Bass as well. He may get even more lovable in this chapter as you see how he is with the twins. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this chapter.
GGfan73104 – Thank you! More glimpses on the NJBC and Blair and Chuck dealing with all the changes in their lives. Can't wait what you think of this chapter.
Melissa – Thanks! Chuck and Blair have gone through a lot and have "lost their mojo" in a sense. It comes back in this chapter and you'll see that Chuck and Serena scene you were expecting. Looking forward to your thoughts on this chapter.
Wrighthangal – Thank you! And I do know what you mean, LOL ;) Can't wait to read your comments on this chapter.
Layla Waldorf-Bass – Thanks! Looking forward to your thoughts on this chapter.
Trosev – Thank you so much! So happy to hear you found the chapters realistic, I really think Chuck and Blair would make amazing parents. Can't wait for them to finally get back together, fingers crossed! Can't wait to read your review on this chapter.
LeftWriter224 – Thank you! I love Chuck taking care of Blair, it's nice to see him being the strong one for her. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this chapter.
Svenjen – Thanks so much! Your information on hysterectomies was very helpful, I revised chapter 19 to reflect what you told me. The following chapters will continue to explore Chair's relationship as they navigate through this new stage of their lives. As for the sex, there will be lots in their future ;) Can't wait to read what you think of this chapter (and the smut).
Curious Blonde – Thanks! Let me know what you think of this chapter.

August 5, 2011
"How are you feeling, Blair?" Dr. Falcone asked at their last appointment together. She already did the physical examination and was now sitting down with Blair and Chuck. "Any physical pain?"
"I still have some pain in my abdomen from the c-section but it's dull now and fleeting, usually only lasting a few moments," Blair told her.
"Have you taken any of the pain meds I prescribed?" the doctor inquired.
"No," Blair said. "I want to breastfeed the twins and won't be able to if I take anything. I can handle the pain."
Chuck rolled his eyes as he hated to see her in pain but bit his tongue instead of saying anything.
Dr. Falcone nodded before stating, "We don't need to discuss birth control options."
"That we don't," Blair said quietly as she looked at her hands.
"A little sensitivity would be nice," Chuck snapped as he took his wife's hand and glared at the doctor. He tiptoed around the subject and would be damned if the doctor opened that can of worms for them again.
"My apologies," she said quickly.
"It's fine," Blair said as she looked at Chuck. "You did what had to be done. The twins are healthy, I'm healing, and early menopause is not in my future. Besides, never having to worry about birth control has its advantages. Do we still have to wait until the six-week mark before we make love again?"
"Yes, that is recommended," the doctor said. "And it may be painful at first because your body is still adjusting to the new hormone level. But it's nothing to worry about, just take your time and don't rush it."
"We know," Chuck said as he squeezed Blair's hand.
"Have you felt any breast tenderness or soreness related to breastfeeding?" Dr. Falcone asked.
"No, my milk keeps coming in," Blair said. "The only thing I'm worried about is that Victor still has trouble latching on. He's fine once I coax him on, but he can't do it on his own like Rose can."
"Does he have any trouble drinking from a bottle?" the doctor asked as she noted this on Blair's chart.
"None," Blair told her.
"Then I wouldn't be too concerned," she said. "As long as he's eating, everything is good."
Their appointment wound down and Dr. Falcone gave them the information for Blair's new OBGYN as well as transferring Blair's records to the twins' new pediatrician. Once all of their questions were answered, they said their goodbyes and made their way outside.
"I miss my babies," Blair said as she nestled into Chuck's side once they were inside the limo. "We should have brought them with us."
"They're fine with your parents and Dorota," Chuck told her. "Besides, I don't think we could have pried them away from Cyrus and Roman."
"But when they're over, we never get to hold them," she lamented. "We're their parents."
"I can kick them out when we get home," Chuck said with a smirk. "Or we could take advantage of them being there and have a long shower.
"Just to shower or to do more?" she asked as her hand began unbuttoning his shirt.
"Whatever you want," he told her.
"I want you, so much," she said softly against his chest. "But I don't know if you want me like that anymore."
"Of course I want you like that," he told her as he gave her a gentle squeeze. "Tell me what's wrong." He had a feeling she was afraid of how he'd act. All the pregnancy books discussed how men usually grow impatient after the baby is born and Chuck didn't want to be the man who pressured his wife and made her the least bit uncomfortable.
"I'm afraid it won't feel the same," she told him as she still didn't make eye contact with him. "We had such an amazing sex life, I don't want to lose that."
"We won't," he assured her as his fingers went under her chin to look in her eyes.
"But you haven't once tried to initiate sex with me since the twins were born," she said. "We shower together but it never turns into anything more than kissing and light touches. What should I think of that?"
"It's not because I don't want you," he said. "I don't want you to feel pressure from me if you aren't ready."
"So the thought of making love with me isn't disgusting?" she asked.
"The thought of making love to you is completely turning me on," he drawled in her ear as he nibbled on her earlobe and pulled her onto his lap. "Can't you feel that?"
She nodded, "You still have to show me how well you can latch on."
"I do," he said suggestively.
"Tonight?" she asked. "When it's just us and the twins are sleeping?"
"It's a date," he smirked as he kissed her lips.
"I love you," she told him as her hands held his face and she kissed him deeply.
XOXO
While Chuck and Blair didn't kick out her parents when they got home, they were counting down the minutes until they were alone. Cyrus and Roman offered to feed and change them before they went down for the night but the new parents wanted to do that themselves.
Blair got changed before she started nursing and was sitting with Victor cradled against her.
"Do you have any idea how beautiful you look right now?" Chuck asked as he held Rose to him while Blair nursed Victor.
"Well," she said as she looked at him, "He still has trouble latching on and it's worrying me. Rose had no trouble, not even at first."
"Maybe he's not a breast man," Chuck told her with a smirk.
"Chuck," Blair exclaimed, "Don't talk about our son like that."
"He's a Bass, I can't think of another reason. You know it's the first thing I go for when I get you naked," he said with lust in his eyes as she tried to hide her smirk. "And I do believe I'm going to show you soon."
"You are," she told him as Victor unlatched from her. "Give Rose to me," she said as they very awkwardly and extremely carefully traded babies. "I think this will always be nerve-wracking."
"We'll be experts in no time at all," Chuck said as he held Victor against his shoulder as he gently patted his son's back.
"You need to be gentle with women," he told his son. "Only get rough when you know they like it that way, like I know mommy does from time to time."
"Chuck," Blair chastised, "Do not fill our son's head with thoughts like that. He will be a perfect gentleman."
"Wasn't I?" he asked as he raised his eyebrows at her.
"You could be, but we all know how randy you really are," she smirked. "I want our son to respect women from the start."
"And he will," he told her as Victor burped onto his shoulder and squealed. "You feel better now, don't you?"
Victor cooed happily as Chuck lifted him above his head, kissing his face each time he brought him down.
"Seeing you with our children makes me love you even more," Blair said as Rose unlatched from her and she brought the little girl to burp on her shoulder. "Can you believe this is our life?"
"It's good, right?" he smiled as he sat next to her, the both of them cradling the twins to them.
"It's surreal," she said. "I wish we could freeze this moment forever. Everything right now is perfect."
"You just have to get used to it," he said, "Because our life is perfect."
Blair laughed at that, causing Rose to fuss. She settled down as Blair rubbed her back and she and Chuck sat in comfortable silence before it was time to change them and get them ready for bed.
"Did you ever think we'd be the type to change diapers?" Chuck asked her as they changed the twins at the matching changing tables in the nursery.
"Sometimes," she told him as she looked over at him as she secured the diaper on Rose and started to put her clothes back on.
Chuck tilted his head as she continued, "I never wanted to be like my mother. I knew that when I had children, I would be there for them, for everything. Dorota raised me, not Eleanor. While we have help, you and I are with them most of the time, they know us, and we know them."
"We do know them," he said as he picked Victor up and settled the little boy against his shoulder. "I finally figured out what each of their cries mean. Who knew that would make me so happy?"
"What cries?" Blair asked with a laugh. "If they make any sound at all you're at their side in an instant."
"I don't want them upset," he told her. "And they're still in our room. You get up, too."
"I do," she smiled. "They really good, we got so lucky with our babies."
"We did," he said to her. "Then again, they want for nothing."
"You're an amazing father, Chuck," Blair told him with love in her eyes. "You take such good care of us."
"I try," he smirked as he stood up with Victor, "And succeed."
"That you do," she said as she lifted Rose into her arms. "I think they're ready to go to sleep."
"They are," he drawled as he and Blair walked down the hall to the master bedroom and settled the twins in their bassinets.
"And now," he drawled as he drew her to him, "To take care of you."
His hand pulled the tie to her robe and he pushed it off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. "God, you're beautiful," he breathed as he took in the sight of her in just her underwear. Her c-section scar was hidden by the bikini briefs she had on and she was glad for that, it still made her self-conscious.
Blair blushed as she started to unbutton his shirt, "You're overdressed."
"Let's fix that then," he smirked as his hands went to his belt.
Only in his boxers, he laid her on the bed and lowered himself to her as he went to remove her underwear.
"No, leave it on," she said in a panic as her hands pulled his up, "Please."
"Okay," he told her with a smile, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," she said, not wanting to tell him how self-conscious she felt about her scar. "We can't do anything yet and I'd rather not tempt it."
"Fine with me, love," he smiled as he held the side of her face and kissed her. "How does this feel?" he asked, his lips on her neck.
"Amazing," she moaned as she arched up to him.
He kissed his way to the other side of her neck, down to her clavicle, Blair writhing underneath him as his lips attacked her skin while his hands roamed along her body.
"I've missed this," she sighed as her hands ran through his hair to bring his lips closer to her.
She felt him smirk as his tongue gently swirled around her nipple. His fingers were massaging her other breast when his lips wrapped around her nipple and he sucked on it. Because she was breastfeeding the twins, milk came out as he continued to suck.
"Did you just drink my breast milk?" she asked with surprise as his tongue darted in and out.
"I think I did. Sorry?" he told her, confusion written across his face as he pulled back.
Blair started to laugh, "It's okay, I actually tried it the other day when I was pumping it."
"I prefer to taste it this way," he smirked as he captured her nipple once more and gently sucked on it. "This actually tastes pretty good."
"You're so turning me on right now," she moaned. "How wrong is that?"
"Not wrong at all," he told her, kissing between the valley of her breasts back up to her face. "I love you," he whispered in her ear.
She groaned as she arched up to him, "This isn't fair. I really want you inside me."
"Soon, love," he told her as his hand rested on her hip. "Your body still needs time to heal. As much as I want to, your health is what's important to me."
"You need to stop saying things like that," she whimpered while writhing at his touches.
"Why?" he asked as his eyebrows knit together.
"Because it's only turning me on more," she told him as she bucked up.
"There are other things we can do," he said as he kissed along her clavicle.
"Like what?" she moaned as her arms wrapped around him and held onto his shoulders.
"Kissing, to start with," he told her as he nibbled on her ear.
Blair pulled him to her and captured his lips with hers, moaning as his tongue slipped into her mouth.
They were getting lost in each other when they heard Rose cry out. They froze and Chuck pulled back from his wife, "Stay, I'll check on her."
Blair lay in bed, watching her husband reach for a burp cloth before bringing their daughter to his shoulder. She couldn't hear what he was saying but between his cooing and rubbing her back, Rose was at ease once more. Kissing her forehead, Chuck set her down in the bassinet before making his way back to bed.
"Is she okay?" she asked when Chuck crawled next to her.
"She needed to burp, she's good now," he smiled. "Where were we?" he asked as he quirked his eyebrows.
"Right about here," Blair told him as her hand rested on the back of his neck and she kissed him deeply.

"How do you feel, B?" Serena asked as she held Rose, cooing to the little girl.
"Fine," Blair told her as she winced when she went to sit up. The pain was mostly gone but she still felt it when she would twist or move the wrong way.
"And thank you, S," Blair said. "The baby shower was definitely unexpected."
"Well," Serena started, "I was planning it for the second week of July, but."
"I went into early labor," Blair stated. "It was a nice surprise, thank you."
"You have no idea how hard it was to keep it a surprise from the both of you," Serena said. "And getting the two of you to come down to mom's apartment with the twins was not easy."
"We like it just the four of us," Chuck told her, sensing that Blair didn't want to talk about it.
"We've noticed," Nate smiled. "How are you two doing, by the way?" Nate asked as he observed Blair curled up in the corner of the couch while Chuck sat next to him with Victor in his arms.
"We're fine," Blair said as she and Chuck briefly looked at each other. "A little tired, but fine."
Victor gurgled and reached for Nate. "May I?" he asked as Chuck nodded and Nate carefully took his godson in his arms.
Chuck took that opportunity to stand up and made his way over to his wife. He smiled before sitting down and pulling her on his lap.
"I love you," Blair said quietly as she looked up at him. She kissed his cheek before resting against his chest.
"You two are good?" Serena asked as Chuck's arms snaked around his wife and Blair rested her hands on his.
"Absolutely," Chuck told her, "More than good. How are you and Cabbage Patch?"
"Dan and I are great," Serena told her stepbrother as she narrowed her eyes. "Thank you for asking."
"And you and Melanie, Nate?" Blair asked, wanting to stop whatever tense conversation was about to start between her husband and her best friend. "Have seen her lately?"
"I saw her last night, we're good," Nate told them with a smile.
"And?" Chuck asked with a smirk. "I want details."
"Things are good, but I don't want to jinx it so stop talking about her," Nate said, looking down at Victor.
"Nate's in love," Serena giggled as she rocked Rose back and forth, causing the little girl to gurgle gleefully. "You have some competition, Rosie."
"She does not," Nate said as he stood up to sit next to Serena. "You're my number one girl, Rosie, don't you forget it."
"I see what you mean," Chuck said to Blair as he observed their friends happily holding the twins. "Let's kick them out."
"Stop," Blair said playfully as she leaned up to kiss his neck, "They'll be gone soon enough and it will just be the four of us then."
"So," Nate grinned as he and Serena shared a look when they stopped fussing over the twins, "When are we going to babysit for you two?"
"You're not," Chuck said as he pulled back from Blair. "Why are you asking?"
"Well, it's been a while and we want you to know when you want some alone time, we're here to watch Rose and Victor," Nate told them.
"You two are aware that we've been together since we became parents, right?" Chuck questioned with a smirk as he kissed Blair's neck.
"With the twins in the room?" Serena asked with shock.
Chuck smirked as Blair blushed and squeezed his hands. "It's not like they know what we're doing," he told them. "Besides, they're asleep."
"Don't look so scandalized, you two," Blair said. "This is how we are. But our children are always taken care of first. We're good parents."
"I don't think S was insinuating you aren't," Nate told her as he glared at the blonde. "All we meant was that when you don't want to worry about anything but each other, we're here and more than happy to watch our godchildren."
"We'll keep that in mind," Blair said as Chuck continued kissing her neck.
"Really," Serena said as she stared at them, "We see you."
"That means nothing, sis," Chuck smirked as Blair gasped as he gently bit the spot behind her ear.
"I liked it better when you were more standoffish," Serena pouted as she started cooing to Rose, doing her best to ignore her best friends.
"That was only towards you, I'm never standoffish with Blair," he told her as he squeezed his wife's waist. "Still want a hug?"
"Ugh," Serena shuddered, "Now I remember why I used to stay away from you."
Chuck winked at her and blew her an air kiss as Nate and Blair laughed.
August 16, 2011
"Are you still awake?" Blair whispered in her husband's ear as she sidled up behind him. Her arm wrapped around him and her fingers were playing with his chest hair.
"You okay?" he asked sleepily as he turned his head to her.
She kissed his neck and said, "Very okay. I want you."
Her hand slid down his chest and slipped under his waistband as she continued to kiss his neck. Wide-awake now, he rolled over to face her.
"Just because we can't do anything yet doesn't mean I can't do things to you," she purred as her hands pulled down his pajama bottoms and boxers before straddling his waist.
"You don't have to do this," he told her as she began to unbutton his shirt while he pushed himself up to rest against the headboard. "I'm okay waiting."
"I want to. You've been so attentive with me, let me cater to your needs now," she told him as she held his face and kissed him deeply as she pressed her body against his.
Kissing her way down his bare chest, her lips slowed as they got closer to his hips. He groaned as she slowly kissed her way down his hipbone while her fingers stroked his length. "Blair," he moaned as she ran her tongue down his shaft.
"How does that feel?" she teased as her hand wrapped around the base of him while she took the tip of him into her mouth.
Chuck couldn't form any words as he took in the sight of her pleasuring him. All he could do was moan and call out her name as he leaned back against the pillows with the perfect view of her going down on him. It wasn't often she did this but it was blissful the times she did.
He could hear and feel her humming around him as he felt himself getting closer to the edge. She tortured him by grazing her teeth along his shaft as her fingers circled the base of him. The feel of her mouth around him coupled with her other hand teasingly making its way up his thigh brought him closer to release. Chuck hissed when she cupped his manhood and gently squeezed.
"Blair," he breathed in an effort to warn her that he couldn't hold off his release anymore. He could feel her smirk as she took him in more when he felt himself explode in her mouth. She swallowed his release while slowly drawing back from him and giving him another squeeze.
Her tongue swirled around his tip before she gently sucked on his spent member and gave him one more squeeze, kissing her way back up to his neck.
"Was that good for you, too?" she whispered in his ear as her hands ran through his hair.
"You're amazing," he rasped as he flipped her underneath him, "Just wait until we have no more restrictions. I'll have you screaming my name in pleasure for hours."
"Promise?" she asked as he captured her lips.
"Or I could have you writhing underneath me now," he told her when he pulled back and quirked his eyebrows at her. His hands went to the hem of her nightgown, slowly pulling it over her head as she arched up to him.
Chuck's hands were on her hips as he looked at her. She nodded as he pulled down her underwear and couldn't help but stare at his wife's beautiful body.
"Stop it," she said quietly as she covered her c-section scar with her hands, "You're making me blush."
"You are beautiful," he told her as he took her hands in his, "Every inch of you."
"I need to find a plastic surgeon to fix my scar," she said as she looked away from him.
"If that's what you want," he said as he urged her chin up with his hand. "But you don't need it."
"It doesn't bother you?" she asked.
"Not one bit," Chuck told her sincerely as he delicately peppered her scar with kisses before kissing his way down her hip. "I love everything about your body. And this," he said as his lips made their way back to her scar, "Is from our children. I love you even more for bringing them into this world safely."
"I don't know what I would have done if you didn't make it back to me," he said softly when he kissed his way back up to her neck and was face to face with her once more.
"You never need to worry about that again," she told him as she held his face with both her hands. As devastating as the idea of never being able to have more children was, knowing that Chuck didn't have to worry about losing her again during childbirth made it easier. "I'm not going anywhere."
Blair leaned in and kissed him, his arms winding around her as she tangled their legs together. They got lost in each other as they continued kissing, caressing every inch of skin they could reach.
"Please go easy with me," she asked as the vulnerability shone in her eyes and she felt his hardness pressed against her side.
"Always," he smiled as he kissed the side of her face, "How does this feel?"
She gasped as his lips slowly made their way down her neck, gently sucking the spot on her clavicle that drove her wild.
"Chuck," she moaned softly as he kissed his way down her body, reveling the taste of her skin on his lips.
"I love you," he breathed against her as his fingers massaged her thighs, pushing them apart as he kissed his way up to her center.
He could feel she was still tense so he gently kissed around her core, licking as he went. "Don't worry, love," Chuck assured his wife, "I'll be gentle."
She was beginning to relax as he saw her sweet spot swelling. His tongue flicked over it, causing her to inhale sharply and buck up to him.
"Chuck," she moaned, completely forgetting any self-doubt and wanting nothing more than her husband to pleasure her. "Why are you teasing me?"
"Do you know how long I've been waiting to do this?" he asked as she felt him smirk against her. "The last time I went down on you was the morning of Saints and Sinners."
"This is something you like to do?" she gasped as his lips circled her sweet spot and gently sucked on it. Her hands ran through his hair to bring him even closer to her.
"Tasting you and having you scream my name in pleasure?" he asked as he pulled back. "Oh, yes."
"Then get to work," she ordered with a gasp as his tongue teased her with quick flicks. "Because I forgot how incredible this feels."
"Nothing like a little pressure, Bass," he said, happy that their smutty banter was still in tact after everything they'd gone through in the past few months.
"I know you can take it," she moaned as he held her hips tighter and his tongue delved deeper into her folds. Blair bit back a scream as he ran his tongue up her center, which was getting wetter, and she was bucking frantically up at him.
He could feel her orgasm intensifying as she spasmed around his mouth. His mouth continued pleasuring her as she let out a strangled scream, shuddering against him with her release.
"Do you hear that?" she asked with a smile when he was next to her after kissing his way up her body.
"No," Chuck said with concern as he looked over at the twins, "Do you think they're okay?"
"They're still sleeping," she told him. "We didn't wake them up."
"Hold on," he said as he stood up and walked over to their bassinets. Victor and Rose were indeed sleeping like angels. Chuck breathed a sigh of relief as he saw their little mouths opening slightly as their chests moved up and down with each breath they took.
"Our kids are sound sleepers," he smiled. "Which is good, considering who their parents are."
"Come back to bed," Blair said as she reached for him. "I need you."
"I'm right here," he told her as he lay next to her, pressed against her side.
"Make love to me, Chuck," she requested as she arched up to him, "Please."
They were a day away from the six-week mark and while Chuck was hesitant, he could see the trepidation in his wife's eyes over her request. He didn't want her to think he didn't want her so he nodded as he slowly started to enter her.
Not even halfway inside of her, he could see her eyes squeeze shut in pain. As much as he ached to enter her completely, he wouldn't if it caused her pain. He slowly withdrew from her as she started to cry.
"Shh, it's okay," he said soothingly as he pulled her to him and held her tight. "We can try another time, this is nothing to worry about."
He was stroking her hair when she said, "This isn't okay, Chuck. I want to make love with you, I should be able to."
She was still crying when he told her, "We had fun tonight. I'm perfectly okay with waiting a little longer."
"Why are you so good to me?" she asked quietly, afraid he would be put off at how needy she was acting.
"Because I love you," he said as he rubbed circles on her lower back. "You gave me more than I ever knew I wanted, Blair."
"I can't help thinking we wouldn't be here if I didn't get pregnant," she said sadly. "Our relationship was so messed up, I don't know if we would found our way back to each other."
"We were already on our way, remember?" he reminded her. "You agreed to try again with me. There was no way I'd go back to life without you in it."
"How much longer will you continue to be so patient with me?" Blair asked as her tears escaped. "We have two children to care for, so much responsibility waiting on us when we go back to work and school next year, and my emotions are all over the place."
"I love you," he said. "And we are going to get through this together, the four of us. It may get difficult at points but when has that stopped us. We've always been drawn to each other, nothing will pull me away from you again."
"I can't lose you," she cried.
"And you won't," he said. "I can't guarantee we won't fight but I can promise that you and our children will always come first. Nothing is more important than us, Blair, nothing."
"Bass Industries," she said quietly.
"Is important as it's what Bart created," he told her. "But it doesn't come before my family. Bart let it and he was bitter and lonely most of the time. I have you, Rose, and Victor, and you all are so much better than some company."
"Thank you," she said quietly as she kissed his chest.
"It's my pleasure," he said as he stroked her hair. "Our family means the world to me, nothing will come between us."
"I do know that," she told him as she took a deep breath. "But it helps that you keep telling me."
"Always," he smiled, kissing the top of her head.
"I love you, Chuck," she said as her hand held his side and they drifted to sleep.
Please review to let me know you'd like me to continue. And if I haven't heard from you yet, leave a review. Lots of you have favorited or alerted this story but have yet to leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts and it's very easy to do, not to mention it would really make me smile =D
So, the smut is back =*) What do you think of Blair's emotions and how Chuck is with her?
The next chapter will be even smuttier – they finally make love again and then they go out to the Hamptons to celebrate the end of summer as well as relive their honeymoon. Expect to see some surprise appearances ;)
What would you like to read more of? We'll see how Blair and Chuck are with the twins as they celebrate their major milestones – rolling over, crawling, talking. Let me know as your ideas always inspire me!
I also want to remind you that I revised chapter 19 to reflect that Blair will not be going into early menopause so you may want to reread it =p
I've also updated the poll on my profile page and would love if you voted as I'm trying to figure out what my next rotation of stories will be. But don't worry, I'm nowhere near done with my current stories, it will be a while before the new ones are posted. Thanks in advance!
Remember, more reviews = more love = faster update. And I loved detailed reviews, the longer the better =)
