AN: I literally just posted ch 1 of The Fall, but I have nothing else to do except write fanfic. Just a little disclaimer for this story: there will be time jumps. Like, maryl's I Told You time jumps (meaning years in between chapters). I have 6 planned out, but the first doesn't come in until after ch 7. If you haven't already noticed, I'm a huge planner... I'm a bit like Blair in that way. My life is a movie in which I am the director. But enough about me...
"Blair Cornelia Waldorf Bass! If you don't get out here right now, I'm going to take back all of your gifts!"
"Empty threat!" Blair called from her en suite. "I know you've trashed the receipts so I don't return them myself!"
"Blair," Serena pulled at the locked door, "come on!"
"I can't be photographed by the New York Times looking like this! I have to come up with a way to hide it."
"You're 8 months pregnant, B! You can't expect to successfully hide any of it! Now, either come out or let me in, please." Serena heard the lock click and she opened the door.
Blair was standing in front of a full length mirror examining every inch of her person. She was dressed in a knee length navy blue lace empire waist dress and nude patent leather heels. Her makeup was impeccably placed and each of her curls fell exactly right. Her rings surprisingly still fit her, so she proudly wore them on her left hand.
"I don't know what to criticize, the heels or the blue.. You're 8 months pregnant, and you're having a girl!"
"Oh, so beige is the color you wear when you don't want to know the gender, S?" She eyed Serena's neutral maxi dress that really just enhanced her pregnancy glow.
Serena rolled her eyes. "You look gorgeous, Blair." she said taking her best friend's hand.
"Thanks, S. You do too."
"Great! So let's go downstairs and greet our guests before the New York Times decides our picture isn't worth all this waiting!" Blair rolled her eyes, and followed Serena towards the party.
The two made their way down the staircase of the Bass home hand in hand. The same staircase Serena walked down before she married the man of her dreams. At the bottom, the met with their respective husbands who were bickering with each other.
"You seriously can't be saying that Elizabeth Bennet and Juliet Capulet are the same character. Juliet and Jane Bennet are. Elizabeth is not an ingenue. Her sister is."
"Exactly Chuck! Elizabeth is so not an ingenue that she is an ingenue!" Chuck looked at him like he had grown another head as Blair placed her hand on the inside of Chuck's arm.
"Is everything okay here?" She said with a perfect Blair Waldorf smile.
"Sis," Chuck spoke turning towards his sister, "Your husband is so pretentious, he's stopped making sense." Blair giggled and Serena rolled her eyes.
"Come on, Chuck. This is a happy day." Dan scowled.
"Then after you." He gestured to the other couple so they could make an entrance to the party before them.
The couple made their way into the dining room, where the baby shower was being held. In it sat the couples' closest friends and family, with the exception of the page 6 reporter, of course. When Henry, who had been sitting on Eleanor's lap, saw his mother, he ran to her.
"Mama!" He hugged her legs, "I missed you and my baby."
"Henry, I've been gone for an hour. You don't see me for days at a time when I go on trips."
"But you don't have my baby with you then."
Blair rolled her eyes as her husband picked up their son. "Come on, Henry. Let's let your mother socialize with other people." He walked with his son towards Lilly who was sitting with Serena.
The party went off without a hitch. Games were played, gifts were given, and the Time photographer only had to do 8 retakes. After goodbyes were said, the guests had departed, and Henry was put to bed, the masters of the house found themselves standing in their kitchen.
"I. Am. Exhausted." Blair sighed as she wrapped an arm around her husband's waist.
"Hmm" Chuck turned to face her. He took her face in his hand and started kissing along her jawline. "How about now?" He got to her ear and nipped.
"Chuck!" Blair gasped. "I don't think we can do this for much longer." She sighed as he started kissing her neck.
"I'm a boat! An elephant." She laced her fingers through the hair on the back of his head.
He picked her up and sat her on the marble countertop. "You're stunning." He grabbed her waist and crashed his mouth onto hers.
He would later tell her that "We're pregnant. I'm extra horny too."
She would then roll her eyes and insist that they at least do it in bed for the rest of their pregnancy.
AN: Okay, so this chapter is SUPER short. I'm sorry. It's really just a filler, and I published something else today as well. Speaking of, go check out my angsty fic The Fall if you haven't already. Next chapter, we meet baby girl Bass! As well as baby Humphrey, but no one cares about Humphreys, am I right? Loljk (only kinda). Feedback! I love your reviews! Please indulge me! HuUuGgGgs and kisses! (I'm so tired. Can you tell? It's 2 am!)
