By the time Blair arrived back home she was exhausted both emotionally and physically. She did feel good after everything she had said to Dan. It made her feel like her old self. She hadn't been old Blair Waldorf in such a long time it was relief to be able to go back to her roots. The funny thing was she hadn't realized how much she missed being her old self this past year. She had tried to change for Louis because he did not like scheming Blair and because she had wanted him to be happy she had tried to change who she was for him. Then there had been Dan and he seemed to like the new Blair and so she stayed that. It was odd because the only man in her life who loved her regardless had been Chuck and that would never change. In an ironic twist he had actually changed for her. With all the women he'd ever been with it was Blair he wanted to change for.

Finally the elevator doors opened and she walked in to her home only to see the last person she ever would have thought she would see again standing there apparently waiting for her. "Louis? What are you doing here? I thought you had some business in Monaco you needed to take care of."

The prince of Monaco stood with his coat slung over his left arm. "I left early because there was something I needed to discuss with you."

"Then why didn't you just call?" She asked slipping her green Dior pea coat off her shoulders. "I thought we had agreed it would be best if we communicated that way from now on?"

Louis let out a sigh as he decided to get to the point of his visit. "It seems as if I have not been fair to you Blair. I have had a lot of time to think since the wedding and after thinking about it I have realized that I was wrong to react the way I did. When we first got together I had seen that you were still in love with him, but over time I thought maybe you could learn to love me. I had tried so hard to ignore the facts in my face. Chuck was your first real love and you are never going to get over him. There is this connection between the two of you that I will never understand. It's like two magnets that will always be drawn back to the other no matter the obstacles. That is part of the reason I went through with the marriage and put the dowry in place. I thought that if I had to be unhappy then you should be as well."

"Well you succeeded Louis." Blair told him not sure of what exactly he wanted her to say. "And I get it I really do. I hurt you on our wedding day, the day that was supposed to be the happiest of your life. I never meant to hurt you I hope that you know that. I really thought that I could love you the way I should if we got married."

"I know you did." Louis told her before pulling out some papers from the pocket of his jacket. "That is why after a lot of thinking I came to the conclusion that you deserve to be happy Blair even if I am not the one to give you that happiness. I want you to be happy even if I have not acted as such these past weeks. You are a wonderful person, but you and I are not meant to be. I know who you are and while I will always care about you I know I cannot be the man you need. It has been and always will be Chuck Bass. That man loves you more than I had first anticipated. You are the only one for him as he is the only one for you."

"What are you saying?" The former queen of Constance asked as he handed her the papers. She unfolded them slowly only to realize they were the papers about the dowry. "Louis, are you saying that you will give me the divorce without a problem?"

The Monaco prince nodded as he took the papers back and tore them up before letting them fall to the floor. "That is exactly what I am saying Blair. Keeping you trapped for a year is not going to change things. The only thing it will accomplish is to make us both bitter and neither of us deserve that. We both deserve to find happiness and peace. I am having the divorce papers drawn up now and they will be faxed to you in a few days for you sign. Once we are finished with this there is no reason for us to communicate anymore. You may be hounded by reporters, but I will do my best to keep the harassment down to a minimum. I only have one request."

"Anything." Blair said as her heart thudded in her chest. She could hardly believe this was happening.

"I am having a small plot put in my family cemetery for our unborn child. I need your consent in order to do so though." At her nod he slipped his coat on before leaning in to kiss her cheek. "Be happy with Chuck Blair. That is all I really want for you. I hope he can give you the life that I never could no matter how much I wanted to."

"I hope you can find your princess Louis because you deserve it and I am sorry if I ever hurt you." She told him truthfully as she hugged him one final time. "I will look for the ultrasound pictures we had and have Dorota copy then before I send them to you. If you ever need anything you know you call me."

He nodded once and then left feeling lighter and happier than he had in a very long time. Before he left completely she called out to get his attention. "May I ask what changed your mind?"

He smiled as he pressed the button for the elevator. "Let's just say that someone I had once thought to be heartless proved me wrong. He gave me hope that true love still exists. Go find your prince Blair because he is a good man and would literally do anything for you. You have my blessing to be with Chuck Bass. Go make your own fairytale with him."

TBC…

AN: This chapter was short yes, but I thought it worked well. So do you all want a Dan/Chuck confrontation before the final Blair/Chuck scene? I was thinking that if you all want him maybe Chuck could hit him again hehe. Anyways, let me know if you liked this or not. I was going to mention Beatrice and Louis's mother in this, but then I thought it wasn't needed and he would just want to get it over with because even though the show made him out to be the villain I think he was just really hurt.

Please R&R like always!
