AN: Hey guise. Please let me know if there's anything you would like me to write about the Bass family. I will definitely take requests and run with them. But for now, here is something from my own mind. "EDITED BY BELLA OMQ I LUV HER." (that was Bella. She's my beta. Luv hurr.)
...
"That may have been the cutest thing I have ever seen." Serena Humphrey had just walked around to the back of her mother's Hampton's home where the pool was. She was vacationing there with her family and the Basses. Dan was currently playing with Henry in the water, but that's not what had caught her eye. Chuck Bass was sleeping face up on one of the shaded pool chairs in his swimsuit, one hand behind his head, and the other resting on the back of his 3 month old daughter, who was napping, tummy down, on his bare, yet hairy, chest.
Serena waved to Dan and Henry and walked into the house through the sliding glass doors that looked out to the pool.
"Blair! You have to come down and see this!" Serena called up the stairs.
"Unless Charlotte has started to walk 10 months ahead of schedule, I am not coming. I have to get ready for tonight!" Blair leaned her freshly washed head over the banister.
"It'll take 20 seconds!"
"Fine." Blair started walking down the grand staircase. The cool marble felt delicious on her bathwater-heated feet, but her thin cotton robe was no match against the home's August airconditioning. She felt a chill run up her spine when stepped onto the ground. Serena lead her through the glass doors.
"Chuck! I can't believe you're still out here! You nee-"
Serena shushed her at the same moment she saw him.
"Aw," a smile spread onto Blair's face. "Do you have your phone, S? We need to document this."
Serena reached for her phone, as a voice came from the picturesque scene before them. "I don't appreciate pictures being taken of my daughter when all she's wearing is a skimpy little swimsuit." Chuck quietly spoke, his eyes still closed.
Blair smiled even bigger. "Well let me take her then."
"No," Chuck opened his eyes and pulled his arm from behind his head so he could hold his baby with both hands as he sat up. "I will go get her changed into something more presentable, while you finish getting ready." He gave her a quick peck on the lips before he whispered. "And you know I don't like pictures of myself taken while I'm half naked."
"Oh please! We have entire HD vid-"
He silenced her with a deeper kiss, even though he still had a sleeping Charlotte on his shoulder. "Not in front of the baby." He smirked before walking into the house.
"Really Blair? Sex t-"
"Shhh!" Blair silenced her friend before turning towards the pool. "Henry!" She called. "It's time to get dressed for dinner! Mommy and daddy and leaving soon!"
"But I want to keep swimming!" He yelled back.
"If you stay in that pool, you'll turn into a lobster, and you know mommy only takes lobster from Maine!"
Henry scrambled to get out of the water. Blair smiled and turned, satisfied, to see Serena giving her a look.
"You both just might be the weirdest parents..."
"Mhm, and where is your daughter at this moment?"
"Napping."
"Alone? And where's the baby monitor?" With that, Blair turned and walked back into the house to finish getting ready for her evening.
…
"It doesn't look like you're ready to order. Shall I come back in a few minutes?"
Blair plastered a fake smile on her face and spoke "Sure," dismissing the waitress. Where was Chuck? He had left to take a phone call 10 minutes earlier, but business calls when he was on vacation did not take this long. Blair stood up, put her napkin on the table, and walked out of the restaurant to investigate the mystery of the missing husband.
She found him sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. "Chuck..." She started. "What are you doing out here? We're supposed to be enjoying crab cakes right now."
He lifted his head, but didn't look at her. "The deal in Barcelona didn't go through."
"Chuck..." She sat down next to him, as he continued.
"Because I wasn't there to oversee the transaction."
She put a hand on his shoulder. "You were on vacation with your family! There will be other Spanish hotels."
"But if I had been there..." He continued to look straight forward. "We've never lost a deal this big, and we were planning on it going through. If only I had been there..."
"And not with your family?!" She took her hand off his shoulder and stood up. "Come on, Chuck. If you act fast, this dinner can still be salvaged."
He stood up as well and looked her straight in the eye. "I think just need to get a drink." He turned and walked in the opposite direction he had come, leaving Blair alone on the street.
…
Blair sat in the bath, hair tied up and makeup scrubbed off her face. She had taken her dinner alone. She then proceeded to come home. Alone. She went to kiss Henry goodnight, and when he asked where his father was, she simply said she didn't know.
Now here she was, soaking in the tub, when the mother Chucker walked right into the en suite.
"Blair..."
"Your son was asking for you." She didn't look him in the eye.
"I just said goodnight. Look, I'm sorry."
"Hm." She continued to not meet his gaze and to continue to sit rigidly in the bath.
Chuck sighed and started stripping. He took off his socks, jacket, tie, shirt, pants, and then boxers, until they were just a crumpled heap on the floor. He stepped into the bath behind her, feeling her body relax when it came into contact with his. She laid her head on his chest, and he ran his hands up and down her arms.
"I really am sorry. Every time I do something wrong with the company, I hear my father... And it's been happening more often."
Blair sighed. "I know. Maybe we should go see that doctor again."
"Maybe that wouldn't be too bad of an idea." He kissed her hair. "And Blair?"
"Hm?"
"I am happy."
She smiled. "I know. I am too."
"I think we should keep this happiness." He waited for her to say something.
"...I agree..."
"How would you feel if I got a vasectomy?"
"I love you, Chuck."
"That would be okay?"
She smiled again. "Just heal quickly. I would miss you too much." She turned in the bath to kiss him. A little while later, they noticed the mirrors had steamed up.
Unfortunately for them, they forgot to get out the HD video camera.

AN: So this chapter is a bit shorter and a bit angstier, but what is CB without a little bit of angst? Let me know what you thought, and if you have any ideas for future chapters! xoxo
