Chapter twenty four: Just like Audrey

"TABITHA'S SHOES." Blair wrote on one of the boxes. She set the box with the others, she couldn't believe the amount of stuff she had. It was a good job Chuck had found them somewhere bigger to live or they might have taken over the hotel. She looked around the suite and felt a tiny bit sad. This was Tabitha's first proper home. They had inadvertently moved in to Chuck's suite. She still had some things in her own suite but this felt like her home. Chuck had taken Tabitha and some boxes to the new house but they were due back soon. Blair took the opportunity to take a walk around the suite and take some pictures on her phone. She knew it seemed silly but she wanted to remember this place. She smiled to herself and picked up another box to start packing.

After a while Blair moved back into the bedroom. She opened the closest and laughed as she saw how many ties Chuck had. They were going to fill a box on their own. She ran her hand over the clothes, stopping at her own. The maids must have put her dresses in here. They fitted perfectly in here, she thought to herself. It will fit in the new house too. She heard to lift ping and walked out to greet Chuck and Tabitha, and tell them what to take next. When she got out there Chuck was in a tuxedo, and Tabitha was dressed up like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. She frowned, "what are you two doing?"

Chuck looked at Tabitha, she nodded and let go of his hand. He walked over to Blair and smiled, "hey."

"Why are you being creepy?"

"I'm trying to be romantic, just shut up."

Blair looked at Tabitha and she grinned at her, "its really good Mom."

Blair turned back to Chuck, he unbuttoned his jacket and got down on one knee. Blair's hand flew to her mouth. She realized that this was the perfect proposal. She was finally Audrey, and so was her daughter. Chuck lifted a little blue box out of his pocket. Blair felt the tears prick in her eyes. She met Chuck's eyes and he smiled at her. After what felt like an eternity Chuck opened the box and revealed the perfect ring. It was a simple band with baguette-but diamonds. It was the same as Audrey Hepburn had worn. Only Chuck Bass would know her so well. She wiped a tear from her eye as Chuck finally spoke.

"Blair, would you do my the honor of making our family official and marrying me?"

Blair couldn't speak, she simply nodded as Chuck slipped the ring on her finger. Chuck stood up and took Blair's face in between his hands and kissed her. Blair laughed against his lips as Tabitha cheered behind them. Chuck pulled back and wiped her cheek, "I love you Blair Waldorf."

"I love you Chuck Bass" she smiled and looked down at Tabitha, "and I love you too."

Chuck grinned and kissed her forehead, "I could spend the next year celebrating this but I believe we have a home to move into. "

Blair ran her fingers under her eyes, trying to tidy up her make-up, "I bet I look like a panda now."

"I like Pandas" Tabitha chirped.

"You look perfect," Chuck smiled, "hey Tabs why don't you go and put the rest of your things in a box to take to the new house."

Tabitha ran off into her room. Blair lifted an empty box and started to put photographs in it. Chuck came up behind her and kissed her shoulder. She smiled, "that proposal was epic Bass. You did well."

"You know, I don't think I have been as nervous in my whole life."

Blair laughed, "why?"

"Well what if you said no, what then?"

Blair turned herself round in Chuck's arms, "there was no chance of that. Come here. I want to show you something."

Blair led Chuck over to one of the boxes sitting on the table. She opened it and dug into the bottom of it. She pulled out a small brown box and handed it to Chuck. He opened it and smiled, there were dozens of pictures of him and Blair in high school. Underneath it was the necklace Chuck had given her for her sixteenth birthday.

"I knew if I pawned that I could afford rent for a year but it was the only thing I had left of you. I couldn't give it away because..." Blair paused as Chuck took the necklace out of the box and put it on her, "because when you give me this I realized that I loved you. I know that makes me selfish but it's true."

"Blair you gave up everything else up for Tabitha, I think you were allowed to keep one thing for yourself. And she turned out just fine without you selling the necklace."

Blair ran her fingers over the necklace, "apart from out daughter falling and having to rush to the hospital I think this has been an incredible week."

"Yeah it's been pretty amazing." Chuck smiled, "I always knew I would end up marrying you."

"No you didn't", Blair laughed, "you told me when you were fifteen you never wanted to get married."

"I was going to propose to you when I was seven but the Nate asked you out instead." Chuck smiled, " I even got in trouble because I stole a ring that belonged to my mother."

"Well at least it only took you seventeen years to get round to it.", Blair laughed. "As much as I would love to celebrate this all day I believe we have a house to move into."

Chuck kissed her once on the cheek, "I'm going to go and check on Tabitha."

"Make her do some of the work Chuck, don't spoil her too much"

xXx

Chuck knocked on Tabitha's door and opened it. He looked around once and found her sitting in the corner. He walked over and sat down beside her, "what's up? Do you not like the house?"

"I do but I don't know where everything goes, and I can't reach the shelves in there, so I just sat down with my teddy."

Chuck smiled and kissed her on the head, "well you just sit there with your teddy and I will put it all away"

Chuck got up and started to sort out Tabitha's clothes, he smiled when he saw things that reminded him of what Blair used to wear. Tabitha's collection of hairbands was even more extensive than Blair's.

"Dad?"

"Yes?" Chuck answered and turned to look at her

"How long will we stay here?"

"What do you mean?"

Tabitha stared at her teddy, "well me and Mom always leave in a hurry. We play a game to pack fast, then we leave."

Chuck unbuttoned his jacket and sat down beside her, "you left because…..because I was looking for you and your Mom, but now I found you so you get to stay here."

"Why were you looking for us?"

"Because I wanted to make sure you were ok." Chuck sighed, he realized he had lied to the child and he hated doing that, "ok Tabs, I was looking for your Mom because we had a fight and she ran away. When she came back you were the best surprise she could ever have given me."

"That's nice," Tabitha smiled, "I like surprises."

Chuck grinned, "well that's good because I like to give people them. I think I will be able to find some more for you somewhere."

"Thanks Dad, you are awesome."

Chuck stood up and lifted Tabitha up, "right come on, let's find somewhere for all your toys."

xXx

Blair threw herself down on the sofa beside Chuck. He wrapped his arms around her. She rested her head on his shoulder. She gazed around the living area. It was still covered in boxes, and there was still a lot of work to do but for now she was happy. Chuck turned on the television and flicked through some channels until he saw the opening titles of Breakfast at Tiffany's. He smiled, "I think that is Audrey's way of giving us her blessing."

"I was thinking the same thing."
