A/N – I think there's only going to be one more chapter after this. Thanks for the reviews, I appreciate it.

Dan had been woken up by Molly's cries. He had been trying to figure out the difference of what each one meant, which was her hungry cry, her tired cry and her 'I need changed' cry. This one however meant she wanted feeding.

He was still getting used to being up throughout the night with her, although since bringing Molly home his guest room had been occupied every night so he didn't really get a chance to feed and change her as whoever was staying would be up first with her. Lily, Eric, Jenny, Rufus and Blair, they all wanted to help out.

Dan was grateful for the help, but was starting to feel overcrowded and suffocated. He actually couldn't even recall himself ever changing her, He felt ashamed to say this, majority of the time he would shy away from it, afraid he would do it incorrectly, but other times he wanted to say 'back off she's my little girl and it's my duty to do so', though he didn't want to upset them as they had been good to him lately.

After he finished feeding her the milk, winded, and wrapped her up all snug, he gently lay her back down in her Moses basket. After lying awake for a further 20 minutes Dan closed his eyes willing for sleep to take over, instead he heard her cries once again. Dan knew that meant one thing, she needed her nappy changed, panic and fear set throughout his body, tonight was the first night he and Molly had the house to themselves.

After one failed attempt he decided to call the one person who had been there since day 1.

"Dan, you better have one damn good reason for calling me at 3 in the morning" Blair said all cranky

"Err Blair, you know how I said I didn't need any of your help, well…….you see, it's Molly she…..

"I'll be right over" Blair stated in a matter of fact tone

Dan was amazed at Blair's caring side, he had never seen her like this before, yes she was still a bitch but whenever around Molly she was a completely different person. That person reminded him a lot of Serena and her caring nature.

………………………………………………………………….

A mere 15 minutes later Blair was at the Humphrey house. Looking disgusted at the reason she was here for.

"You have got to be kidding me, I really wish I had let you finish your sentence before rushing over here" Blair said with a frown, she wasn't exactly master of this either. "Why didn't you call Lily or something, I thought you were complaining you never do this, you feel like everyone was pushing you out the way?"

"I know I know, but you's never gave me the chance to learn, everyone jumped in, and well now it's come down to it, I have no clue" Dan said

With a groan Blair began to undress the little girl, talking in her baby voice to her, which Molly responded to with a smile

"Little miss, if you get any shit on my new channel top I will….

"Eh Blair, watch your language in front of Molly please, and anyway it would be your fault not her's" Dan interrupted

"Dan, she's a couple weeks old, I don't think she's gonna spit out the word 'shit' anytime soon do you?" Blair deadpanned

"Oh wow, that smell" both Dan and Blair choked out

Dan couldn't help himself; he burst out laughing at the scene playing out in front of him. Blair was retching and fighting to keep Molly's legs in the air while she tried to change her. It was the first time he had truly laughed since that day, that day Mother Nature had turned her back on Dan and Molly.

"Ugh, Dan help me instead of standing there looking like a plum, she's your daughter, and this is your time to learn" Blair said as she accidentally let go of one little foot, dropping amidst the dirty nappy.

"It's like the blind leading the blind. Erm…Blair you have….. Dan pointed to her chin, which had a little spot of…

"OMG" Blair screamed running to the bathroom. She knew exactly what he was talking about

"I guess you take a whole new meaning to the word shit-face" Dan laughed and shouted after her

After several shrieks and screams later, Blair made her way back into the living room.

"Huh, even Blair Waldorf can pull off shit with Channel" she snorted

………………………………………………………….

It was 3.50am and Blair had already left, leaving Dan to cuddle Molly back to sleep. He lay in the bed with Molly wrapped up in her blanket, gently patting her bum and rocking her to sleep; he was giving her, her bedtime story. He always made sure in his stories that Serena was his main character; he wanted to make sure Molly knew her mother from day one. Tonight he chose to tell her the night of the white party, the night he finally had the love of his life back in his arms……

"Dan, I'm so happy you came here for me, all summer long I had wished to see your face, to have you come rescue me like you did at the debutant ball, sweep me off my feet again, well you granted my wish and you came to my rescue like always"

"I'm just glad you came here tonight Serena, I thought for a second you wouldn't show and wonder what you were doing with me when you had finally got rid, I made the biggest mistake letting you go, I just hope you let me make it up to you, which I promise to do from here on out…..

…After I told her all of my feelings, we continued watching the beautiful fireworks still wrapped in each other's arms, until mammy decided she was tired and wanted to lie down, and what mammy wanted mammy got. I don't think I have ever felt so happy in all my life, the feeling of her hair tickling my cheeks, her hand on top of mine watching the stars, that's when my summer had finally started…" with a smile on his face he looked down to a now sleeping Molly, she looked so content, peaceful.

"Hey, am I boring you little girl" Dan laughed

Careful not to wake her, Dan gently placed her back in her basket, his eyes rested on the picture by his side. It was a picture of their wedding day; he kissed the tip of his fingers and gently ran them across the picture, across Serena.

"I'll take good care of her I promise" Dan whispered as he lay back down under the covers as if Serena were lying beside him and closed his eyes, ready for a new day to begin.
