Maddison grabbed her bag, "I shouldn't have said anything!" She quickly walked out to the waiting town car smiling as she saw Chuck waiting for her!

Chuck took one look at her and frowned, "What did Serena say to upset you so badly?"

Maddison kept her smile in place, "she didn't say anything so don't worry!"

Chuck knew she wouldn't say what was wrong so he just let it go.

Maddison relaxed but slowly realized they were heading away from he city instead of to the Empire, "Chuck where in the world are we going?"

Chuck smiled over at her, "all I can tell you is that it's a surprise!"

Maddison looked at him squinting to see if his face would give anything away and frowned when it got her no where!

Chuck couldn't help but laugh at the pout on her face, he gave her a quick kiss!

Maddison smiled she curled into his side drifting off knowing that she was safe with him!

Chuck smiled down at her he couldn't beleive after all this time he finially had her to himself!

About an hour later Maddison woke to Chuck softly shaking her awake! She looked around unsure of where they were but it looked like some little suburb outside of the city. She followed Chuck out of the car to see a little boy running around at what appeared to be a birthday party, she turned to Chuck unsure if this was what she thought it was.

He looked at her knowing what she was silently asking," Maddison I know you said you'd do this when you were ready but I thought this was something you needed to do!"

Before she could even answer him the little boy ran up to her with a huge smile on his face.

"Oh oh your her you've finally come I wished and wished this year you would come I can tell you know because the candles have already been blown out!"

Maddison looked down at her son charmed by him," you know who I am?"

"Of course he does darling even if you haven't been doesn't mean he hasn't met the family that he really belongs to!"

Maddison turned to face her mother," what are you doing here you didn't know about this I was sure of it!"

Lily Van Der Woodson looked at her youngest daughter, " I knew I just found out after the fact or else you wouldn't have given him up I would have helped!"

Maddison wanted to scream, " It wasn't your choice it never was it was mine and one I thought and still think is the best choice!"

Lily looked like she was going to spit nails," best for who you?"

Maddison refused to cry," no it was best for my son I couldn't have given him the life he deserved!"

Chuck wrapped his arm around Maddison whispering in her ear," Madds I didn't know she'd be here but ignore her don't let her get in the way of being with your son!"

Maddison kissed his cheek, "your right like always!"

Nicholas looked at the man next to the lady he knew was his real mommy ," are you my dad?"

Maddison looked at Chuck and then her son unsure how to explain it wishing Chuck really was Nicholas's father!

Chuck crouched down to talk to the little boy," no buddy I'm not but I was the one who was with your mom threw everything I even got to help pick out your name!"

Nicholas gave him a hug then looked to his mom, " I knows you can't take me home I haves to stay here but I think we have some cake left I don't mind sharing!"

Maddison held out her hand relived when he took it, " ok lead the way to the cake!"
