Wow this is my third one shot in four days! That may be a record. This came into my head today for obvious reasons. I really didn't edit this at all so I'm sure there are tons of mistakes. Sorry. Also for the purpose of this story Lily no longer lives in the Milan building which is on 55th St. and a few blocks from the park. Now she lives on 96th. And for my fellow New Yorkers I know the Easter egg hunt is held on the Great Hill on the Westside but for the purpose of this story it takes place in the East Meadow. Who knows maybe by 2017 it will be held there. Happy Easter everyone and feel free to review if you liked it and even if you didn't. I own nothing.

Chuck realized that when he married Blair he also married her family; that meant not only accepting the entire Waldorf-Rose clan but also the Van der Woodsens. Even though Lily was legally Chuck's adoptive mother in the past he was always able to pick and choose which events and holidays he would attend with his family, but now married to Blair there was no avoiding them. Blair made sure they were at every one of Lily's bi-monthly Sunday brunches, every birthday dinner and every holiday she hosted.

Today being Easter Sunday was no exception. Eleanor and Cyrus had been in New York the entire week so they had had several family dinners together. Eleanor and Cyrus had also spent an entire day taking Henry to the Museum of Natural History and lunch. It had been a great week so far.

They had attended Easter morning church service and we're now in the elevator heading up to Lily's for Easter brunch. Everyone was going to be in attendance; including Eric and Jenny who were both home for Dan and Serena's upcoming wedding which was in two weeks.

Eleanor was holding Henry's hand as the doors opened and they all stepped out. Lily came around the corner to greet them and Henry releasing his Grandmere's hand rushed to her and hugged her tightly.

Lily laughing picked him up giving his cheeks multiple kisses. "You are getting so big Hen." She set him back down and straightened his pale pink bow tie. "You look very handsome today."

Henry smiled up at his Grandmother. "Thank you." He then saw his Aunt Serena and went running down the hall to her.

"Don't run Henry," Blair reprimanded as she placed a kiss to Lily's cheek. "Thank you for having us."

Lily gave Blair's hand a squeeze. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Chuck kissed Lily. "Happy Easter."

Lily smiled at him warmly. "Happy Easter Charles."

Chuck followed his wife down the hall and into the living room as Lily greeted Eleanor and Cyrus. He passed the two bags of wine and champagne he was carrying to a member of the wait staff. He said his hellos to everyone and then sat down on the couch next to Eric.

Immediately the conversation turned to the wedding. Dan leaned forward taking a canapé off the tray sitting on the table in front of them. He looked at Chuck. "Thanks again Chuck for letting us have it at your house."

Chuck shrugged. "I had nothing to do with that. That was all your fiancée and Blair's idea."

Serena put an arm around Dan's shoulders and smiled glowingly. She had never looked happier. "You know Chuck whatever Blair wants, Blair gets."

Chuck leaned back on the couch and crossed his legs. "You'll learn Humphrey that a happy wife makes for a very happy life."

Henry approached Chuck carrying a half full glass of scotch very carefully. "Here you go Daddy."

Chuck took the glass from his son. "Thank you Henry." He reached out and patted his shoulder.

Henry smiled broadly. He then turned and ran back to his mother who was at the bar. She handed him a Shirley Temple and then picking up her glass of white wine took his hand and walked him over to sit down next to Chuck.

Chuck lifted his son up onto his lap as he took a sip of his drink. Everyone sat and chatted catching up on what was going on in their lives. Finally Lily announced that it was time to eat.

Henry jumped off his Dad's lap and ran straight into the dining room. Everyone laughed at his enthusiasm.

Blair slipping her hand through Chuck's arm smiled. "That's my son. Always so polite and reserved."

Chuck kissed her cheek and they followed Henry to the table.

Dinner was over and everyone was enjoying their dessert and coffee. Henry had devoured his piece of cake asking for a second. Blair immediately said no which resulted in a flood of tears.

Serena sighed. "B, what's wrong with one more small piece? It's Easter."

Blair shook her head at her best friend. "You're not the one who will have to put up with the stomachache later. Trust me one piece is enough."

Henry who had buried his head in his mother's lap while he sobbed looked up at her. "Please Mommy."

Blair wiped her hand over her son's cheek. "I said no Henry."

"You're mean." He started to cry harder as he dropped his head back into his mother's lap.

Blair rubbed his back gently. "I know I am Henry."

Chuck stood up and pulled his son from Blair's lap and lifted him up into his arms. Henry laid his head on Chuck's shoulder trying to catch his breath. "Maybe Henry and I should take a walk and get some fresh air."

Blair smiled up at him. "I think that's a great idea. Maybe he'll even take a n-a-p," she spelt the word.

Chuck headed to the elevator with his sobbing son. He heard Eleanor say, "Who would've ever thought Charles would be such an excellent father?"

His wife responded immediately, "I did Mother."

Chuck smiled to himself as he pressed the button to call the elevator. Blair had always been the one to believe in him even when he hadn't believed in himself. He was so lucky to have her in his life.

Chuck had stopped in the lobby to retrieve the stroller he knew Lily kept for Henry. The doorman unfolded it for him and by the time he had buckled Henry in he had stopped crying. Chuck wheeled his son across Fifth Avenue and entered the park at Ninety Seventh Street.

They strolled along the East Meadow and came upon the Easter egg hunt. Henry immediately perked up when he saw all the children running around finding colorful plastic eggs. Chuck decided one or two eggs wouldn't be too bad. He unbuckled Henry and parked the stroller with all the other ones and retrieved a basket from the booth they had set up.

The woman who handed Chuck the basket smiled at Henry and then looked at Chuck. "You'll want to take him over towards the west side of the meadow. It's toddler friendly over there."

Chuck thanked the woman and taking Henry's hand in his walked over to the section the woman had pointed out. Once there he handed Henry the basket and let go of his hand so he could search for the eggs. Chuck was right by his side.

At first Henry wasn't sure what to do and he was being shy as he clung to his father's leg. He stood there for a moment watching the other toddlers running around. He watched a four year old little girl grab a bright pink egg and open it. When he saw the foil wrapped chocolate inside he was sold. He immediately began looking for his own.

He ran over to a large oak tree and picked up a green egg at the base of it.

"Look Daddy I found one!" He held his prize aloft in his hand.

Chuck smiled at his son. "Well done Henry. Put it in your basket and we'll find another one."

Henry though had a plan of his own. He set the basket on the ground and pulled the egg apart. He squealed when the foiled covered chocolate fell into his hand. He giggled as he painstakingly unwrapped the candy and popped it in his mouth.

Chuck knew if Blair had been there she would have had a fit but he decided that what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. Henry held out the wrapper to his father and Chuck shoved it into his pants pocket.

It was five minutes and four eggs later when Chuck decided that it had been enough. He explained to Henry that they needed to leave some eggs for the other boys and girls.

He bent down to pick up son and noticed his chocolate fingers.

"Henry don't touch anything." He knew if there was a spot of chocolate anywhere on Henry or his seersucker suit Chuck would be in big trouble.

A woman standing next to him realized the situation he was in and handed him a wet wipe. "Here you go."

Chuck took it from the woman with a grateful smile. "Thank you so much."

"First time I take it?" she asked.

Chuck nodded as he squatted down to wipe Henry's hands and mouth. "Yes. I guess it's obvious huh?"

The woman smiled at him. "I can always spot a first timer."

Chuck lifted a now clean Henry into his arms and thanked the woman once more. They returned Henry's basket and retrieved the stroller and headed back to Lily's.

When they entered the penthouse he found Blair, Serena and Jenny in the living room having a discussion about Serena's wedding dress.

Blair turned to face her boys with a huge smile on her face. "Everything better."

Chuck nodded and Henry ran to his mother. Blair pulled him into her arms. She took a deep breath and then smelt her son again. She furrowed her brow and looked at her husband.

"Why does he smell like chocolate?"

Henry smiled at his mother. "I found a green egg and a blue egg and a purple egg and guess what Mommy?"

Blair knew exactly what was coming next but she played along. "What my love?"

"There was chocolate inside. It was magic." Henry's brown eyes were huge and his cheeks were pink with excitement.

Jenny and Serena started to laugh and Blair looked at Chuck. "Tell me you didn't let him eat a bunch of chocolate?"

Chuck feigned innocence. "Of course not. He had one piece and we gave the rest to a little girl next to us."

Blair sighed and kissed her son. "Go find Grandmere and Saba and tell them it's time to go."

Henry went running off towards the dining room to find his grandparents.

Later that night Chuck and Blair had finally gotten Henry to sleep. He had complained that his tummy hurt and Blair had to rub his stomach until he was out.

Blair had just come out of the master bathroom having finished her bedtime routine and found her husband already in bed reading. She stepped over to her vanity pumping some lotion onto her hands and rubbing it in.

She turned towards Chuck. "It was a nice day."

Chuck nodded setting his book on top of the bedside table. "It was." He watched Blair as she picked up his pants that he had worn that day from the chaise where he had tossed them. He realized how incredibly lucky he and Henry were to have her. She was the one that would make sure they as a family had holiday traditions and memories. Chuck never had any of those and as much as he complained about all the family togetherness deep down inside he adored it. It made him feel like he was a part of something real and that was his greatest wish for his son. He wanted him to always feel like he had a place where he belonged.

Blair had stepped into the walk in closet to put his pants in the dry cleaning basket and came out cupping something in her hand.

"Charles Bartholomew Bass what are these?"

He looked at her and immediately he knew he had made a huge mistake. He had forgotten to empty his pockets. "Chocolate wrappers." He looked at her sheepishly.

She tossed them into the wastebasket and crossed to her side of the bed. "This is why he has a stomachache tonight. I told him no more cake and you take him to the park and let him gorge on chocolate." She pulled the duvet back none too gently and slid into bed.

Chuck sighed. "We were walking and came across the hunt what was I supposed to do?"

Blair fluffed her pillows angrily. "Turn around and walk in the opposite direction or explain to him that he'd already had dessert or any number of other things. I can't always be bad cop. I need you to back me up and discipline when it's needed." She laid back onto her pillows.

Chuck rolled over onto his side and moved across the bed so he could wrap an arm around her waist. He felt her stiffen a bit. "I'm sorry. He saw all the kids and he was so excited. How could I say no?"

She sighed shaking her head. "I know it's hard but part of parenting is saying no. Do you think it was easy for me to ignore his tears today when he wanted a second piece of cake? No but I did it because that's being a good parent."

He kissed the side of her neck. "Forgive me. I fucked up. I'll be stronger next time. I promise from now on I'll be the disciplinarian and the bad cop."

He started to kiss a trail down her neck and across her shoulder as he slowly slid the thin strap of her nightgown down her arm. "I think I'll start practicing now." He kissed her mouth pushing his tongue inside.

He pulled away as he positioned himself between her thighs. "I think you have been a very bad girl tonight?"

Instantly her anger dissipated. "What are you going to do about it Mr. Bass?"

He thrust his hips. "You just wait and see." He kissed her pulling her nightgown down to her waist exposing her breasts. He captured her right nipple sucking it into his mouth biting down none too gently before releasing it. She gasped as he did the same to left one.

He spent the next hour and half showing her how good he was at discipline. As a matter of fact he was so thorough that Blair was unable to sleep on her back hence why she was on her stomach sound asleep with her head on his chest.

From that day forward Chuck tried to be strong when it came to his son. Ninety percent of the time he was successful but the other ten percent Henry would raise his tear filled eyes up at Chuck and his heart would melt and his son would get whatever it was that he wanted. Even Chuck Bass had his weaknesses.
