Hey Everybody! I'm Back! Life has been crazy but now I finally have time to write again. Thanks for your continuing support through this long drought. Shall we pick up where we left off?

"Chuck, where do you see us going?"

The dreaded question. Chuck rolled over in his black satin sheets and stared at the petite brunette lying next to him. Her hair was messed, her eyes opening and closing as sleep came to claim her.

"Are you serious, Blair?" he groaned. She stirred to become comfortable and let out a sigh.

"Yes, Bass, I'm serious," she snapped. He sighed and attempted to straighten his disheveled hair.

"Well Blair I always saw us taking the next space ship back up to whatever planet you were dropped from," he teased. Before he could let out a chuckle at his own joke, Blair's open hand made it across his chest.

"I'm serious!" she whined sleepily, as he winced in pain.

"Okay," he hissed. Chuck gathered her tired frame in his arms and brushed her hair out of her face. "Blair Waldorf, I plan to make you marry me one day."

"Make me, huh?" she whispered. He nodded although her eyes were sealed shut. "Well, good, because you don't have a choice Bass, I'm gonna be your wifey one day" He smiled and kissed her forehead as she drifted peacefully off to sleep.

"No."

"What?"

"No, Chuck, I will not marry you," Blair stated firmly. She looked deep into his saddened blue eyes and could not be persuaded. This was not the time. She watched him rise half-heartedly from Serena's messy carpet and gather himself.

"But, why not? "he sighed, "I love you Blair. We have a child together and even though we have had our ups and downs, I know that somewhere deep down inside you love me too."

"I did love you, Chuck. Things have changed, I am a mother and that beautiful little girl comes first. I can never forgive you for what you did and nothing can change what happened. We need to move past this for the sake of our daughter. You will be all she has." Blair felt tears building in the corner of her eyes and blinked them away as rapidly as they had appeared. She would not let him see her cry. Chuck could see her struggling to hold it together and jumped on the opportunity. He took the two steps toward her, caressed her cheek and placed his lips to hers. Both felt the instant connection and began to melt into each other before Blair abruptly pulled away from the embrace.

"No, Chuck, Do not do this to me!" she wailed. Tears broke through her composure and she began to fall apart. She took a seat on the nearest chair and put her face in her hands. Chuck's heart began to break. He hadn't realized what an effect all of this would have on her. "Please, Chuck, just leave." She begged through shaking palms. He sighed and turned to leave, thinking it would be for the best. Blair curled up in the armchair and sobbed. Her life had begun to unravel and she didn't need someone stepping into save her. Especially him. She watched through her fingers as he walked to the door and heard him say before he left, "Just you wait Waldorf, you are going to be my wifey."
