AN: So it looks like I am getting to writing again tonight. For those who don't know, I published a new story this afternoon called Always There. It's basically just phone conversations between CB throughout their entire entire relationship, pre-series to forever. The chapter I published is pre-series, and it focuses on B's bulimia because I was disappointed with the lack of coverage we got on that in s1. But you're not here for eating disorders. You're here for some lovey dovey fluff. Here we go...

…

"I don't think I can survive the next 24 hours, B. I just can't do it. I'm going to explode."

"You'll be fine, S. Just think of your little Humphrey." Blair made a face. "Nevermind. Don't."

"Blair!" Serena threw a pillow at her best friend. She was currently sprawled out on Chuck and Blair's bed, complaining about being almost 2 weeks past her due date. She had 3 fans pointed at her, and Blair had placed a wet washcloth on her to try and cool her down.

"Being 9 months pregnant during a Manhattan June is awful. Never do it."

"I was full term with Henry in August, S. Don't talk to me about being uncomfortably hot."

"Yes, well your husband had the decency to take you upstate for the last month."

"I did luck out, didn't I?" Blair smiled to herself at the memory. Chuck made her start her maternity leave early, so they could get away from the sweltering heat and spend their last month as a couple with no children away from the distractions of the city. Even being 8 to 9 months pregnant, they still had just as much fun as usual. "And you..."

Serena threw another pillow at her, knocking the shirt she was folding out of her hands.

"Why are you doing laundry, B? Isn't that what you pay Dorota for?"

"I'm nesting! You'll understand once you're little Humphrey comes into the world."

As if on cue, Charlotte Bass started crying from her pack n' play.

"That's right, Charlotte! A playmate for you!" Blair scooped up her 6 week old daughter, who stopped crying as soon as she entered her mother's arms.

"She really is a beauty, Blair." Serena propped up on her elbow to get a better look.

While Henry was almost all Chuck, except in eye color, it looked as if Charlotte would be a perfect combination of both of her parents. It was apparent that she had Blair's doe eyes, though the color was to be determined, and petit nose. She was also graced with the perfect cupid bow lips and sturdy chin of her father. She was going to be striking. There was no doubt about it.

She was also going to be sassy. The child refused to cooperate for anyone other than her parents. "She knows who's supplying her trust fund!" Blair would exclaim.

Serena looked at her watch. "Okay, I should be going. It's my last night alone with my husband! I really hope I go into labor before I have to be induced tomorrow, though."

Blair looked at her friend sympathetically. "Let me help you up" Serena was struggling to sit up. There was no way she would make it off that bed alone. Blair put Charlotte back in her pack n' play, and went to help her friend.

"1, 2, 3!" Blair grabbed Serena's hands and pulled her into a standing position.

"I'm a freaking whale! And you're tiny again!" Serena exclaimed.

"Please! I'm still 8 pounds from my before Charlotte weight."

"And I bet Chuck loves everyone of those lb's."

Blair smiled to herself.

"Goodness! You guys have done it already?!"

"She turned 6 weeks old 3 days ago, S! He just looked at me in that way, and we -"

"No! No more!" Serena covered her face with her hands. "I need to leave now!"

"I'll walk you out." Blair smiled and went to pick up Charlotte before heading downstairs with her best friend.

Before Serena walked out the door of the Bass townhouse, she grabbed Blair's shoulders and looked her straight in the eye. "You'll be there at exactly 5, B? And you won't leave until it's all over?"

Blair kissed her cheek and spoke. "I promise."

...

Serena hadn't been gone 5 minutes, when Blair received a text.

Water just broke in the cab. Meet me at the hospital. NOW!

"Van der Woodsens always did know how to make an entrance." Blair mumbled went to put Charlotte in the bassinet they kept in their den.

Basses, on the other hand, had impeccable timing. Chuck walked through the front door with Henry at his feet.

"Mommy!" Henry ran to his mother.

"Did you have fun at the aquarium, baby?" Blair picked up her son, as Chuck came to kiss her on the cheek.

Henry just nodded, and Chuck spoke. "He liked the ugly freshwater wish more than the tropical ones. I think we've been letting him spend too much time around Humphrey.

Blair smiled and put Henry down. He ran to his sister. "How was my baby today, mommy?"

"Charlotte was wonderful, as usual." Because Blair was still on maternity leave, Henry asked her every day when he got home a slew of questions about the well being of his baby. Before he could ask another, Blair turned to her husband, putting her hands on his chest to straighten his lapels.

"Chuck..." She drawled. The signal that she had done something she needed forgiveness for, or that she just needed something from him.

He put his hands on her waist. "Did you buy another Picasso?" He looked at her accusingly.

"No... I missed you." She put a hand on his jaw, and leaned up to kiss him. When their lips met, Blair felt her whole body come alive. She separated his lips with her tongue, as he wrapped both arms around her waist, bringing her body flush against his.

"This is why my baby is going to be scarred!" Henry yelled at his parents, interrupting their intimacy.

They broke off their kiss, but Chuck kept his arms around Blair's waist, and she laid her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around him as well.

"But really," Chuck whispered in her ear. "What is it?"

Blair lifted her head to look at him. "Serena." She smiled.

His eyes lit up. "Now?"

"Now!" She giggled.

"So you need me to spend the night alone with the children tonight instead of tomorrow?"

Blair nodded.

"Of course I will. You need to go! Go! Don't leave Serena alone with Humphrey!"

Blair giggled and rushed to get her coat and purse before kissing each member of her family goodbye.

When she had finally rushed out the door, Chuck turned to his children. "We've finally gotten rid of her! What shall we do?!"

Henry jumped up from his spot by sister. "Pizza! And Finding Nemo! Daddy please!"

Blair never let Henry have pizza, and Finding Nemo was his favorite movie, so Blair had to put her foot down after their 24th viewing. Henry liked to say that Chuck was Marlin, but Chuck objected, telling his wife that their son would be participating in all the same sorts of debauchery he did as a teenager. Blair would then say something along the lines of "God forbid" or "kill me now".

"I think that will work." Chuck smiled and went to pick up his daughter. Since the moment he saw her, she had him wrapped around her little finger. "Go get the secret take out menus, Henry?"

The men of the house had to keep the menus hidden. Blair insisted on a home cooked meal every night, not that she ever made said meal.

…

"I hate you, Dan Humphrey! Why did you talk me into doing this naturally!?"

"It was your idea! I fully support modern medicine."

Blair shot him a look. "It's not his fault, S." Blair pushed the sweaty hair out of Serena's face. "You're too far along for the epidural, anyways.

Serena pacified at that, and Dan mouthed a "thank you" from across the hospital bed.

"And the doctor said in less than an hour, you'd be ready to push! Just think of your baby."

Serena's contraction ended, and Dan shook out the hand his wife had been previously squeezing the life out of.

"Just wait until she starts pushing..." Blair warned.

"Don't scare me!" Serena yelled.

"Can I please call Lilly now, S?"

"No! Not until my baby's born. She'll come in here and tell me I'm going it all wrong."

"She's your mother! And she's not Eleanor." Blair smiled.

Serena rolled her eyes. "In an hour you can."

"I am going to get a cup of coffee." Dan kissed his wife, and walked out of the room as her doctor walked in.

When he got back, she was pushing and yelling "I hate you Dan Humphrey! I hate you Dan Humphrey! I hate you Dan Humphrey! I hate you Dan Humphrey! I hate you Dan Humphrey!"

He stood in the doorway in shock. Blair saw him and yelled "Well don't just stand there! Get in here!" He rushed to his wife's side.

…

Chuck picked up the phone. "Is there a new Humphrey in the world?"

"Good evening to you too, husband."

"Blair..."

"Yes!" She giggled. "Were you dying without knowing?"

"She's my sister. Are Lilly and everyone there?"

"Yes. Except Nate's been on the phone with his his campaign managers the entire time. I think we need to have a little talk with him. Tell him he's turning into an all work no play kinda guy."

"Hm. Should we come now?"

"Are my children not asleep? They should be asleep!"

"Would you be upset if I told you Henry was on his 3rd round of Finding Nemo?"

"And I suppose you've been doing shots off of Charlotte's body as well? Not at all. Bring them over, so they can meet their new cousin!"

"I love you, Blair. See you in about half an hour."

"I love you too, Bass."

Chuck hung up and turned to his son, pausing the movie.

"Was that mommy? Do I have a cousin? Is it a boy baby or a girl baby? Please say boy!"

Chuck laughed and pulled his son into his lap. "You know, Henry, I didn't even think to ask. Go get Charlotte's diaper bag! We're going to find out for ourselves."

Henry jumped up from his father's lap to do as he was told, and Chuck walked upstairs to retrieve a sleeping Charlotte from her crib.

…

When the trio got to Serena's room, Blair rushed to her husband. "I'll take this," She took the carrier with her daughter in it from him. "And you go meet your new niece!"

Blair turned away from him, but Chuck cleared his throat, grabbing her attention again. She saw the expectant look on his face and leaned up to kiss him, stopping only when Henry exclaimed "I want to see the baby!"

At that, the entire room was made aware of the Bass's arrival, and Lilly, who was holding the baby, walked over to where Chuck and Henry were standing. Chuck picked up his son, so he could get a better look.

"Henry," Lilly spoke. "This is your new cousin, Daisy Celia Humphrey."

Henry smiled. "Hi, baby." He spoke.

Chuck kissed Lilly's cheek, and smiled at the baby in her arms.

"This cousin wants to meet Daisy too!" Blair called from across the room with Charlotte in her arms.

"Yes! They'll be just like us, B!" Serena smiled from her bed. Chuck walked over to hug her.

"I hope not..." Nate muttered, smiling.

"Congratulations, sis." Chuck set Henry down to embrace her.

"Thank you, Chuck." She smiled up at him.

"Congrats you as well, Humphrey!" Chuck said, turning around to look at his brother in law.

"Thank you, Chuck." Dan smiled and leaned a little closer. "I get it now."

Chuck knew exactly what he was talking about. The moment when you first look into your child's eyes, and your entire world shifts into focus. The feeling that turns even the Chuck Basses of the world into mush.

Chuck smiled and shook his hand.

In some twisted and maybe not entirely pleasant way, Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald, Blair Waldorf, Serena van der Woodsen, and even Brooklyn boy Dan Humphrey had become family.

Chuck's family at home was wonderful in every way, and he always felt it. But here, in the medicinal-smelling hospital room, he felt it too.

The perfection.

…

AN: How fluffy was that?! That was, like, the fluffiest ending I have ever written ever. Do you like the baby's name? Points if you know where her first and middle came from. I really don't like Dan too much, but I felt a moment of understanding between the two was needed. Don't worry, there'll be some nice bickering between them later on. I also feel like I'm writing Chuck a little OOC at the moment, so there will also be some good ole' CB banter that leads to smut next chapter as well. I'm making so many promises... It's midnight, and I have to wake up early for class tomorrow! Ah! Goodnight! xoxo
