A/N: Another chapter for you all. Thank you for sticking with me. It means so much to me. This is actually one of my favorite chapters. So I really hope you love it.

Life is Great

Darcy walked into the bar area and spotted Amira and Chuck surrounded by paperwork.

"Morning" she smiled kissing his cheek.

"Lily invited us to Brunch" he replied.

"I can't" she replied "I promised Serena I would have brunch with her. But you should take Amira"

Chuck glanced at Amira then back to his wife.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" she replied putting her hands on his shoulders and then kissing him. "Baby and I will be okay"

"Are you telling Serena?"

"Yes, I need to tell her before I start showing and she finds out on some tabloid"

"And your father?"

"He's supposed to be in town soon, so I'll do it then" she smiled.

"I'll miss you"

"And I you" she replied "Maybe if I finish early I'll stop by, or vice versa"

Chuck gave her one last kiss and she headed out. She got to the café that she told Serena she would meet her at. She spotted her sister and sat down across from her.

"I can't believe that you're married?" Serena said after they ordered.

"I'm still getting used to it myself."

"Yeah"

"Yeah, after the amazing mind blowing honeymoon"

"Overshare"

"We went our separate ways to deal with some stuff. When we went to find you was the first time I had seen him in a couple months."

"You got married a couple months ago?"

"Beginning of June"

"Oh?"

"Bass was in Dubai dealing with some business and I flew in to surprise him and to share some information" Darcy said.

"So you're still calling each other Bass and Ellis? No first names?"

"It feels weird honestly. I only call him Chuck when I'm mad at him."

"So what information were you sharing with him. If you don't mind me asking?"

"Actually this is why I mostly accepted the offer for brunch. This and well seeing you"

"Share" Serena laughed.

"Not only are Bass and I married but we are also gonna be parents. You're gonna be an Aunt."

"Oh my god! Darcy that's so exciting" Serena said hugging her sister. "How did Dad take it?"

"I haven't told him yet. It's an in person bombshell. And well I haven't seen him since the wedding"

"Yeah I guess that would be an in person conversation."

"Yeah"

"Can I see the ring?" she asked and Darcy put her hand in front of her. "It's so beautiful"

"He had it designed to look like my mother's"

"Your relationship almost sounds like an epic fairy-tale"

"Only we didn't fall for each other at first site"

"Didn't you like hate him"

"Hate is a very strong word. I just wasn't a fan of his. And then he grew on me. A lot"

"Then you fell in love with him. So how did he propose?"

Darcy blushed just thinking of it.

"The Palace Rooftop"

"Where you two began?"

"Yes and we got married in Prague"

"Okay scratch the fairy tale, this is an epic romance book"

"I really wished you could have been there."

"Same but I'm sure I was in your heart"

"Yes"

"So who was all there?"
"Dad, Eric and Jack"

"Jack Bass?"

"Yeah" Darcy replied "He's technically family now"

"Oh I totally forgot to ask you. Will you and your husband, wow I love saying that, come to the Conservatory Gala tonight? I'm hosting"

"Then we must go. I will try my best to get him there"

"Thank you, after this I have to go see Nate about a check"

After brunch she headed back to the Empire. She got up to the penthouse. Chuck was on the phone.

"… I'm sorry Lily, I had no idea. I have to go" he said looking at Darcy. She gave him a weird look then turned around and looked to see Amira. Chuck hung up the phone. "When were you planning to tell me you had an affair with my father?"

"Whoa what?" Darcy asked

"Bart and I were only together one weekend. I didn't mention it because you were investigating his business not his personal life."

"I was looking for his secrets" Chuck yelled.

"Yeah I think you classify as one" Darcy said then turned to Chuck "I'm gonna be in our room. When this is done, can we um talk?"

"Yeah" he said and she walked into her bedroom. She spotted the mirror and walked over. She lifted her shirt and saw her little belly bump. She put her hand on it and smiled. "You look so beautiful"

She turned to her husband and kissed him.

"How did that whole thing work out?"

"Don't worry about it. It's all taken care of" he replied sitting down.

"Well then if it's all handled will you accompany me to Serena's gala?" She asked sitting down on his lap and kissing him.

"I really wish I could but I can't"

"Then I'll call…"

"You go, its Serena's Gala" he said kissing her cheek. "I know it will mean the world to her that you are there"

"Okay" she responded getting up.

"And when you get home, I will be waiting. Dessert and cider waiting for my beautiful wife"

"If I wasn't already married to you I would totally ask you to marry me"

He chuckled then kissed her.

Darcy arrived at the Gala. She was being cautious about people seeing her small bump because she wanted to be able to tell people before word got out. That included Gossip Girl.

"Darcy!" she heard her sister say and she walked toward her. "You made it!"

"Yes"

"And Chuck?"

"He apologizes, he sends his best"

"Well I got one of you" Serena smiled then linked arms with her and began to walk.

"You look beautiful" Steven said to Serena"

"You made it?" Serena said a little off. Darcy wasn't quite sure what was going on.

"I know how much it meant to you"

"Yeah it did" Serena said then glanced at her sister "Um you remember my sister"

"Darcy right?" Steven said.

"Uh yeah we met at the, we thought you two were getting married but were so wrong about that. I apologize on everyone's. Well mine and my husband's behalf at least."

"Right, um Chuck?"
"Yes that is he"

"He said Ellis? Is that you"

"Darcy Ellis…Bass"

"As the actress? My Daughter is a fan"

"That's me" she replied then looked at Serena

"Daughter?" Serena asked.

"I should let you two enjoy the party. I thought I saw Nate. She walked away.

"Hey" she heard Nate say behind her.

"Hey" she replied and hugged him. "So dateless tonight or is that brunette that you keep sneaking in and out of the hotel here?"

"Yeah she and I aren't together." He said and she spotted Chuck

"Will you excuse me a second best friend I see my husband" she replied and walked toward Chuck "Hey you made it?"

"Are you and baby okay?" he whispered.

"Yeah were fine?"

"I got your text and was really worried about you?"

"Honey, I didn't text you. But I am glad to see you"

"A distraction"

"What?"

"Bart" he replied and she nodded.

"He texted you pretending to be me. Wait does that mean he knows about the baby?" she whispered.

"You don't worry about it. I will take care of it." He said going to walk away but stopped and turned back to her "I love you"

She smiled at him.

"You too" she said then walked back over to Nate.

"What was that all about?"

"Business" she replied "So about this girl, she wasn't another one of my long lost sisters was she?"

"Har har Darcy"

"Oh my god. You haven't dated Eric yet!"

"Keep it up"
"He's a great catch and well considering your luck in the girl department maybe Eric is just what you need"

"Nate" a girl said.

"I think this is my sign to go home" she replied to Nate. "Good luck"

Darcy took off before anyone else could say a word. At this point she just wanted to be at home curled up in bed with Chuck.

*Chuck and Bart*

Chuck went running into the Empire.

"Amira!" he yelled.

"I'm afraid you missed her" Bart said leaning on the pool table. "I'd say you could call but she's probably 30,000 feet above the ground by now.

"She wouldn't leave without her…" Chuck said glancing at the safe "…money"

"It's sweet really that you also use your mother's birthday as your combination. You make it all so easy." Bart said "Drink? Hopefully there is more than cider. Your wife's an alcoholic right. That must be boring. Oh but then again she is pregnant right. So she can't drink because of that either"

Darcy walked in and heard Chuck talking so she ducked into the kitchen.

"Business records, blue prints. You need to stop this childish nonsense"

"Yeah coming from the one who faked a text saying my wife and child were in danger. Very classic high school move."

"How about we call a truce. It would make Lily happy. She's very upset that you're trying to destroy our marriage."

"I don't care about your marriage and neither do you"

"Of course I do. Why else would I pay Amira to leave town"

"To protect whatever secret really forced you to fake your death. Something that's obviously no in those files."

"I told you I did it to keep you and Lily safe. Wouldn't you do the same for that beautiful wife of yours? Or perhaps your unborn child."

"Yes I'd do anything for them but that doesn't change the fact I don't believe you" Chuck said "I wanted to believe that I finally got my father's love"

"Then let me give you some Bass properties. We can be a family again."

"It's too late for that" Chuck said and Darcy decided it was time to make her presence noticed.

"Evening Gentlemen" she said.

"I'll leave you two to your romantic evening" Bart said then turned to Darcy "Miss Ellis or is it Mrs Bass now? I never know with celebrities"

Darcy ignored him and walked over to Chuck. They heard the elevator go down and turned to each other.

"So how long were you in the kitchen?" Chuck asked her sitting down on the couch putting a hand to his head.

"I don't know what you're talking about Bass" she said and walked over to the bar "Remind me to disinfect this whole area"

Chuck chuckled then turned his attention to her.

"How was the Gala?"

"Well good news, the brunette Nate is seeing, not a Van der Woodsen"

"That you know of?"

"I told him he should try Eric"

"I'm sure he took that well."

"Oh and Serena's boyfriend. Steven Spence, he has a daughter"

"How did she take that?"

"I don't know. I opted out of that conversation. She's a fan though"

She poured two glasses of scotch and brought them over to him.

"What is this for?" he asked.

"I eat for two. You drink for two" she said putting them both in front of him. He pulled her into his lap and kissed her.

"Speaking of the baby? How did Serena take the news"

"She is so excited to be an Aunt"

"As weird as it sounds she is double the aunt. From both sides"

"Yeah I try to forget that part. So thanks" she laughed.

The rest of their evening was spent just the two of them. The next morning she walked out into the bar area and saw Chuck sitting there. She walked over and kissed his cheek. She spotted a photo in front of him.

"What's this?" she asked picking it up.

"Our next step" he replied. He kissed her then kneeled down and kiss her belly. Life was great.

A/N: Like I said one of my favorites and it all has to do with those last little bits of Chuck and Darcy.
