Chapter 3: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Summary: What if Chuck and Blair had both got married to different people and had kids? What if after being divorced years later they met again? How would things be?

Blair and Chuck were still catching up. They went to the park so the kids could run around.

"So how do you find being a single parent?" Blair asked drinking the latte she had got from a different shop.

"It has its challenges, but I'd rather have Drew with me than living in Brooklyn" Chuck smirked "Plus I couldn't imagine not have him around now".

"Good point about Brooklyn I guess" Blair laughed "Your right about the challenges, it can be tricky. But it has its perks as well".

Chuck nodded "Was Nate good with Tiffany?"

Blair smiled sadly "Between trying to please his grandfather and work he barley acknowledged her".

"Really?" Chuck asked in disbelief.

"Really. What type of parent are you? With running Bass industries and looking after a kid on your own it must be difficult" Blair asked.

Chuck smiled "I always find time for Drew. I usually take him to the office unless I have a long or really important meeting and I have only ever had babysitters for when I can't take him to work. I like to think I'm better than my father".

Blair smiled at that "Wow, very responsible. And can I tell you are better than your father. But I'm surprised at your maturity".

Chuck laughed "I told you Waldorf, I'm full of surprises".

"Yes you are" Blair laughed back.

"Mommy, Drew and I are going over to sit near the pond" Tiffany smiled her cute little smile that left no room for argument.

Blair fixed Tiffany's hair behind her ears "Don't go to close to the edge" she warned.

Tiffany smiled "Mommy I wouldn't want my outfit to get ruined" Tiffany then giggled and ran off back to Drew "Are you coming or not Bass?"

"I'm coming. Don't have a fit" Drew rolled his eyes following behind her.

Chuck and Blair had been talking for a while when Drew and Tiffany walked over. Tiffany's dress was drenched.

"Tiffany what happened? You told me you wouldn't go too close to the water?" Blair asked.

"I didn't some rude little boy splashed water at me!" Tiffany stomped her foot on the ground.

Blair closed her eyes and shook her head "Who was it?"

Chuck looked around and he saw a little boy completely drenched from head to toe and he could already tell who was behind it "Drew you didn't did you?"

Blair turned to see who Chuck was looking at and then they all turned to look at Drew.

Drew's face suddenly had an all too familiar smirk on it "I'm Drew Bass".

Blair turned to look at Chuck and nearly burst out laughing at what Drew had just said.

Chuck seen the smug smile on Blair's face and turned away from her "Drew we have had a problem like this before"

"I was defending a friend dad. The last time I was defending my cousin. Plus this is twice it was Ryan Baizen. He's a poop" Drew said and nodded.

Blair smiled "Drew I'm glad that you stood up for Tiffany but I don't think that is the way to go about standing up for her".

"Exactly you come to us. You don't splash him back" Chuck told his son. He knew it was wrong but in the inside Chuck was a proud of him. He remembered a similar situation with a Waldorf and Baizen when he was that age only a slight change in location. He knew his son could tell he wasn't in much trouble, and how his dad was really feeling.

Tiffany decided to stand in "But he didn't splash him back".

Chuck smiled "We seen Ryan"

"He really didn't" Tiffany shook her head "I helped anyway. He can't get all the blame".

Chuck and Blair looked at each other and then turned to the kids "What did you do?" They said at the same time. They knew for a fact when a Waldorf and Bass teamed up things didn't always look as bad it really was.

Drew rolled his eyes "I give him a light tap on the shoulder…"

"…And my foot just happened to be behind him at the time" Tiffany shrugged.

"It was all a misunderstanding when he fell into the pond" Drew nodded his head.

"It really was" Tiffany agreed and nodded her head as well with a bitchy smile on her face.

"Oh it was" Blair said sarcastically and pretended to agree and looked at Chuck "It was all a misunderstanding"

"Really? Well then I guess that's OK then" Chuck said and they turned back to the kids.

"We are so in trouble" Drew smirked "I'd so no TV for a week for me"

Tiffany put on the puppy dog eyes "Mommy, I'm really sorry. I was angry at the time. I know I was wrong. Can I go and apologise to Ryan and his father?" She asked bit her lip and looked at her feet.

"OK but you aren't getting anything when we go shopping with Serena and Molly" Blair told her.

"I guess that's fair" Tiffany smiled sadly.

Chuck looked at Drew "We'll talk about your punishment at home".

Drew shrugged "The usual" he laughed.

Chuck laughed "Yeah the usual you little trouble maker"

Tiffany sighed "Come on Drew let's go apologise" Tiffany pulled Drew by the arm and they walked down the park.

Tiffany's puppy dog eyes disappeared and the bitch smirk was back.

"I'm not apologising to him" Drew's face screwed up in disgust.

Tiffany turned to him with the bitch smirk firmly in place "And you think I am? Please I did that so I don't end up with a punishment" Tiffany laughed.

"But your Mom said that you won't be…" Before Drew could finish he was cut off.

"Naïve little Drew, I'll be getting something" Tiffany patted his head and giggled.

Drew smirked "You're more like me than I thought Waldorf"

Tiffany laughed "That's an insult. I have standards"

"What's that? Making sure your bracelet matches your dress so it doesn't clash" Drew raised his eyebrows in a mocking fashion.

Tiffany's face turned to a sad expression "I only wear one bracelet".

"No girl does that" Drew complained.

"They do when there Dad and Mom are split up and it's the last thing he give her before she moves to Manhattan" Tiffany said and sat down beside the pond again.

Drew looked at her and sat down "Sorry".

Tiffany smiled "No it's fine" she sighed "Really I should hate him. He cheated on my Mom. But I don't hate him. I love him he's still my dad".

"I understand. My Dad thinks I hate my Mom… And I do… But sometimes I wish she had stayed. She never wanted me. I got in the way of her getting my dad's money" Drew turned to Tiffany.

"I'm sure she still loved you" Tiffany said.

Drew give a short laugh "She didn't even put up a fight for me. Sometimes I see Austin and Molly and I think if Mom had stayed I could've had a little brother or sister sometime".

Tiffany looked at him "Would you want one?"

"I guess. Yeah" Drew answered.

Tiffany smiled "Then I'll be your sister and you'll be my brother".

"But how?" He was confused.

"Not by blood but by choice" Tiffany said "My Mom said that she and Serena were sisters by choice. We could be brother and sister by choice. We'll look out for each other".

"That sounds like a plan" Drew smiled.

Tiffany hugged Drew and he hugged her back "I guess I can help get you out of trouble"

"Naïve little Tiffany, I wont be getting a punishment" they both laughed.

Blair was looking at the kids hugging as Chuck came back with coffee's for them.

"They're going to be better friends than us" Blair turned to Chuck and took the coffee off him.

"You think so?" Chuck asked.

Blair looked back to them and seen them laughing "I know so".
