Chapter 33: I Do

The sun had just set leaving the evening air to cool. Blair watched the hustle and bustle of preparations for her wedding commencing underneath her hotel window. She couldn't hear her mother, but more could see her mother barking out demands and putting the fear of God into the hired help. She rolled her eyes and checked the clock. She only had an hour before she had to walk down the aisle and her mother still needed to help her with her dress.

"Serena." Blair turned toward her maid of honor. "Can you please go down and retrieve my mother before the venue and catering people quit?"

Serena laughed and nodded.

"I wondered where she went off to."

"You better hurry." Blair frowned glancing back down at her mother. "It looks like she is in an agreement with the bar tender now."

"Can't have that." Serena's eyes widened sarcastically, before slipping outside their hotel room door.

Blair walked over to the closet to where her wedding dress hung. The white laced gown was simple and elegant. Exactly what Audrey Hepburn would have worn she thought to herself with a pleasing smile. She had been a little nervous since her mother had only had a week to have it made, but it looked beautiful. She looked over her shoulder at the long length mirror checking her hair for the 50th time that day. Nope still perfect she thought happily. It too was simple and elegant in a traditional low updo allowing her bangs to frame her face. Her hair dresser had already placed her silver jeweled headband giving her a crowned look. She sighed happily at the final outcome.

"Blair my darling!" Eleanor beamed entering the room followed by Serena. "Your hair looks absolutely beautiful! Andre did a fantastic job."

"Yes he did." Blair sighed contently turning to her mother with a smile. "Now help me with my dress—I have to walk down the aisle in 45 minutes."

"I know I'm sorry." Eleanor apologized reaching for her daughters dress. "But it's simply a shame that you can't find good help anymore. The wedding venue staff is a wreck and needed some guidance."

Blair and Serena exchanged helpless looks.

"Well I'm sure that you set them straight." Blair smiled politely at her mother while starting to strip out of her clothes.

"Damn right I did. I told them if they want to get another job in this town they won't mess up my only daughter's wedding day."

"Mother…" Blair sighed, giving her mother a glare.

"What? Besides Vera, I make most of the wedding dresses in this town for New York's high society. One word from me and their wedding venue business is done."

"Well I'm sure that won't be necessary Eleanor." Serena smiled while helping Blair take off her shoes.

"For their sake let's hope not." Eleanor smiled back. "Alright my dear, we will need to put it on over your head. Serena help me here."

Serena came around Blair's other side and helped Eleanor gather the bottom of the dress up before fitting in over and down Blair head, careful of her hair.

Blair could feel how perfect it felt before she could peek at herself in the mirror. She waited until her mother finished bustling and asked Serena to grab her shoes.

When she turned to face the mirror she couldn't help but grin at the sight. The dress was perfect, hugging her in all the right places, showing off all of her curves. It was the perfect combination.

"Mother…" Blair whispered breathlessly turning toward Eleanor. "…you've outdone yourself."

"Only the best for my baby." Eleanor smiled, her eyes glistening.

"You look radiant Blair." Serena gushed, wiping a tear from her eye. "You are literally glowing."

She was. She could feel the flush of her cheeks and the butterflies swarming in her stomach. She checked the clock—in just 30 minutes she would be Mrs. Daniel Humphrey. She felt a little dizzy. Her mother sensing this handed her a glass of water.

"Why don't you hydrate a little dear? But not too much—going to the bathroom in this thing will be a group effort."

Blair and Serena laughed. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Ms. Waldorf? We are ready to cross to the park. The groom and groomsmen are in place."

"Thank you Annie!" Blair called out to their wedding planner.

"Ok my dear this is it." Eleanor smiled taking her daughters hands in her own. "I know I don't say much about Dan, but I just wanted you to know that I couldn't be more pleased with the man you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with."

Blair smiled back at her mother, a tear escaping down her cheek. Eleanor reached up and wiped it away before kissing Blair's cheek softly.

"See you soon!" Eleanor whispered before heading out the door.

Blair turned to face Serena who was just smiling at her, tears in her eyes as well.

"Not you too!" Blair laughed trying to keep back her own tears.

"Yes me too!" Serena laughed wiping another tear with her tissue. She stepped forward and hugged Blair squeezing her tightly. "B I am so happy for you. For you and Dan!"

"And I am happy for you and Nate!" Blair smiled turning her best friends hand over to reveal her engagement ring. "When I return from the Hamptons we start planning!"

Suddenly there was another knock at the door.

"Ms. Waldorf! 20 minutes!" Annie called.

"Coming!" Blair yelled to Annie, then turned to Serena. "Hopefully that will be that last time anyone calls me Ms. Waldorf."

Dan took in a deep breath and sighed in complete relaxation at the sight in front of him. It was absolutely beautiful. Lily, Eleanor, and Serena had outdone themselves. He knew Blair would love it.

The trees framed the area beautifully with a tremendous amount of lights stranded through all of them lighting up the area in a starry night affect. Portable chandlers hung randomly from different trees adding just enough light in the right areas. The seats, the alter, overflowing flowers, the small orchestra prepping to the left of the alter, and little Milo running up and down the aisle in his latest obsession—a batman cape.

He had been dreaming of this day for a long time now. Tonight he married Blair Waldorf.

"Dan."

Dan turned around to see his father smiling at him.

"Hey Dad."

Rufus threw his arms around Dan hugging him tightly.

"I can't believe this day has finally come." Rufus smiled releasing his son. "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks Dad."

"That makes two of us."

Dan turned around to see his sister standing behind him.

"Jenny!"

Dan couldn't believe his eyes.

"Surprise!" Jenny beamed jumping into his arms. Dan hugged her tightly.

"I thought you weren't going to be able to make it in time with the internship in France."

"Well let's just say that Blair had some connections."

"Eleanor?" Dan asked.

"She called my boss in Paris and demanded my 'assistance'." Jenny laughed.

"I can't believe it…"Dan started.

"And it definitely earned me some brownie points with Vera-The fact that Eleanor Waldorf specifically demanded my presence in New York. Let's just say she might be looking at my designs more carefully for next season."

"We're so happy for you Jenny." Rufus interrupted hugging his daughter. "Finally have your dream job! Just wish it was closer."

"Jenny!" Lily yelled seeing the trio.

"Hi Lily." Jenny smiled hugging her step mother.

"How did you get away?" Lily asked in surprise.

"That would be his soon to be wife." Jenny smiled.

"Blair?" Lily asked in amazement.

"With the help of Eleanor." Rufus laughed.

"Well now I am ready to get married." Dan smiled. "Surrounded by the people I love."

Her heart was beating fast and she felt a little dizzy. The affect had come over her as soon as they had crossed the street but as soon as she could see the light glow ahead of her and hear the sweet sound of a small orchestra band she felt a warm glow come over her, her nerves subsiding.

The night wasn't too chilly. In fact she still felt a little warm breeze against her bare shoulders as she walked with Serena. She looked up to see Lily with Milo, but then saw her father Harold and Cyrus approaching her.

"My God." Her father breathed when she got close enough. "Blair you are radiant! My darling!"

He kissed her cheek throwing his arms around her. She hugged him back tightly. He pulled back only a moment later wiping a tear from his eye, letting Cyrus step forward.

"Blair." He beamed. "You look beautiful! Dan is a very lucky man."

"Thank you Cyrus." Blair smiled.

"I'll go let them know you here." Harold smiled proudly at his little girl. Blair nodded in thanks losing her breath once again at his words.

"B!"

Milo ran from Lily's side and jumped into Blair's arms hugging her tightly.

"Hey little M!" She laughed holding him tightly.

"You look BEAAUUTIFUL!" Milo exaggerated making everyone laugh.

"Thank you!" She smiled releasing him. Lily came over taking his hand once again.

"Come Milo, it's almost time to walk down the aisle." Lily soothed.

"NO! FLY Meme Lily! I Fly downt the aisle!" Milo corrected with passion.

"Blair you are a vision!" She added smiling as she carted Milo off.

"Thank you Lily"

"Blair!"

Blair turned around to see Jenny.

"You made it!" Blair smiled brightly.

"Thank you." Jenny smiled back taking Blair's hands. "I know it was you pushed for me to be here."

"It wouldn't feel right if you weren't here." Blair admitted. "You're our family."

Jenny was touched by the sincerity in Blair's voice, and squeezed her hands lightly trying not to cry.

"I was thinking on the way flight over about how things use to be and how I would have never thought in a thousand years my brother would one day marry THE Blair Waldorf."

They both laughed.

"Believe me—I didn't see it coming either." Blair laughed to herself. "But I love your brother so much Jenny…I"

"I know you do." Jenny cut her off, tears forming in her eyes. "I remember when I first realized it. I saw the way you were with him in the hospital after the fight with Chuck. You wouldn't leave his side—and now you are so awesome with Milo."

"Well he stole my heart too." Blair joked blinking back her own tears. "I mean look at him." They both took a quick glance over at the little boy making whooshing sounds with his black cape. "How could you not love that?"

"Blair…" Jenny started.

"Yes?" Blair answered turning her attention back to Jenny.

"I…I just wanted to you know, before you walk down the aisle to my brother…" Jenny smiled, "That I couldn't be happier for the two of you."

Blair felt the tears coming on again, and hugged Jenny tightly.

"Jenny it means the world to me to hear you say that." Blair sighed pulling away finally wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Well I mean it." Jenny nodded firmly. "Besides, I've always wanted a sister."

"Me too." Blair admitted with a warm smile.

"Blair…" Harold interrupted them. "It's time."

The music began to play, and with the nod from the Reverend, Dan and Nate walked out first in front of all of their smiling family and friends. Dan couldn't help but feel the love and support radiating towards him. It was overwhelming and he didn't realize just how much it meant to him until that moment.

He looked up to see Milo 'flying' down the aisle in his little black tux; his batman cape waving threw the air behind him. The crowd awed and laughed.

Next Serena floated down the aisle. At first Dan thought she was smiling at him, but then realized that her gaze was past him and at her new fiancé standing behind him. He laughed to himself. Nate tapped him on the shoulder and he leaned back.

"Hopefully you will return this favor on my wedding day?" Nate asked. Dan turned and grabbed Nate's shoulder squeezing it.

"Of course man." He grinned. "I would be honored!"

The music changed then to a familiar tune Dan knew well. The orchestra began to play the sweetest rendition of Moon River he had ever heard.

He saw her then. Harold to her left and Cyrus to her right, guiding her slowly down the aisle. She was absolutely the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The lace wedding dress was her, snugly fit, he could see the curves of her hips and swell of her breasts, her chest rising with deep breaths. She must be just as nervous as he was. Finally his eyes met hers and nothing else mattered.

She reached him finally and when Harold placed her hands in his he squeezed them gently making her smile.

"Dearly beloved…" the Reverend began, "…we are here tonight to witness the joining of two souls in holy matrimony."

Dan was finding it hard to concentrate. He hadn't been able to take his eyes off of Blair since she had graced the room with her presence, and that wedding dress wasn't helping. He could only image what she had waiting for him underneath. She was grinning at him, almost like she knew exactly what he was thinking. He blushed a little.

"Do you Dan take Blair to be your wife? To love and cherish, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." He grinned making her laugh.

"And Blair, do you take Dan to be your husband? To love and cherish, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Blair smiled.

"No I understand you both have written your own vowels? Blair?"

Blair nodded taking a deep breath, grasping Dan's hands tighter in hers.

"Dan." She started, his name rolling off her lips sweetly. "I love you so much. I have spent much of my life searching…searching for that person that I needed to be complete, and of course it was right in front of me for years. I didn't see you, I was blinded by what I thought was right for me, but you knew. You have always known, and thank God for that." Blair laughed making the audience laugh as well. She looked back up at him seeing the tears in his eyes. "Dan…" she choked feeling her own tears starting, "I promise to love you and cherish you, to sooth your worries, and read over your articles before you send them off to the editor. I promise to dress you and correct you on any fashion mishap you bring home…" Blair laughed, "…I promise to make you a home, and dedicate myself to being your wife first. I promise to give you my entire heart for the rest of my life and beyond."

Blair finished as a tear rolled down her cheek. Dan reached up and wiped it away gentle, letting his hand rest on her cheek for a moment.

"Blair…" He sighed bring his hand down, taking her hands into his again, "…I have loved you for a very long time. The fact that we are standing here right now in front of our family and friends blows me away—in fact it's a dream come true. I feel like I have to pinch myself to make sure it's reality." He and Blair laughed. "I look at you and all I can think is how lucky I am. How lucky I am to have you in my life and how blessed my life will be because you will be my wife. Blair…" He smiled. "I promise to love and cherish you, to trust and have faith in our love, and to never go to bed angry. I promise to support you and believe in you. To let you dress me without complaining..." He laughed "… to let you decorate our home to your heart's content, to make sure your favorite wine is stocked at all times, and to never stop romanticizing you. I will spend the rest of my days loving you….and God…I do love you…" He finished. She was smiling by crying from his words. He didn't know what he had done to deserve her. They had been through so much and finally they were getting their happy ending with Milo.

Dan and Blair then turned and bent down in front of Milo.

"Hey buddy!" Dan smiled tickling him. "You're doing great!"

"I get cake?" Milo chimed in.

"Yes you'll get cake." Blair laughed. "But first Dan and I wanted to ask you something."

"Milo? How would you like it if Blair and I became Mommy and Daddy?" Dan asked making their family and friends react in gushes of awws and ooo's.

"You mean I get to call B mommy?" Milo asked tilting his head in a quizzical look.

"Yes." Blair beamed. "And call Dan daddy."

"Would you like that?" Dan asked.

Milo exaggeratedly shook his head up and down in confirmation making everyone laugh.

Taking Milo's hands Dan and Blair stood up again before the Reverend.

"With the power invested in me by God and by the state of New York, I declare you man and wife…ah…" the Reverend hesitated seeing Milo, "…a family. You may now kiss the bride."

Dan didn't hesitate—he grabbed Blair around the waist and dipped her low crushing his mouth to hers as their family and friends cheered and applauded.

Blair was in heaven. Mrs. Humphrey. She was now Mrs. Humphrey. That's all she could think as Dan kissed her with everyone cheering and clapping. Dan finally brought them up for air, setting her back on her own two feet and in one motion scooped Milo up in one arm and offered the other to her. They headed back down the aisle in marital bliss, stealing kisses every 3 or 4 steps with Milo making yucky faces.

The reception was a blast. The giant white tent was not far away from the ceremony area and had the same sparkling twinkling lights throughout it continuing the magic of the night. Great food, awesome band, delicious drinks and wines, and an entire group of people who wished them the best—the night couldn't get any better.

Dan came back from a dance with Eleanor to find Milo asleep on Blair. She was holding him contently, her head resting on his as she brushed his hair behind his ear. The sight was enough to melt his heart.

"Hey." He smiled.

"Hey." She smiled back. "He is out." She laughed.

"I see that."

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey." Rufus chimed in patting Dan on the back.

"Hey dad." Dan smiled at his father.

"I see the little one is done for tonight." Rufus pointed to Milo.

"Yes I do believe he has danced his last dance for tonight." Blair smiled hugging him a little tighter.

"Well Lily and I are ready, if you're ready to say goodnight."

"Okay." Blair nodded shifting in her seat. Milo woke flittering his eyes open slightly. "Hey baby, it's time to go stay with Meme Lily and Pap Ruf."

"No." Milo turned his body into Blair's chest. "I want you."

"I know sweetie, but we have to stay here a little longer and you can go and sleep in your car bed at Meme Lily's and Pap Ruf's." Blair bribed. She knew he loved that race car bed.

Milo took a moment to think about this.

"Okay." He surrendered.

Blair kissed his head and then his cheek as Dan lifted his out of her arms and into his, saying his goodbyes to the little guy.

"Sleep tight little man!" Dan smiled kissing his cheek and rubbing his head. "We will see you later tomorrow.

Rufus took the sleepy Milo from Dan's arms and gave his son another hug.

"Thanks Dad." Dan smiled. Blair stood and gave Rufus a hug as well.

"We appreciate it."

"Of course! You two have a good night." Rufus nodded. Lily then had joined him. She hugged Blair tightly and then Dan.

"Congratulations again." Lily smiled.

"Thank you Lily for everything." Blair smiled back. "We couldn't have had a better wedding. Thank you for all the strings you pulled."

Lily laughed waving her hands in dismissal.

"Anything for you two." She smiled, "And especially for my grandson." She nodded with a wink at Milo sleeping now in Rufus's arms.

Dan and Blair waved goodbye and then turned back to their guests and the party at hand. Lady Gaga started to play and Serena pulled Blair and Dan out onto the dance floor with her and Nate.

"HELP!"

Blair thought she heard a scream…maybe it was just the music…

"SOMEONE HELP!"

Dan stopped and checked his surroundings…he thought he heard…no it was probably just…

"DAN! BLAIR! HEELP!"

Suddenly the music came to a screeching halt as Lily came into view at the end of the tent, stumbling onto the dance floor in sobs.

"LILY!" Dan yelled running to her. "What is it!?"

"Where's Rufus and Milo?!" Blair asked frantically seeing Lily's dishevelment.

"We tried…!" Lily chocked out. "Rufus tried but…oh God Milo…oh my God…" Lily started sobbing.

Dan took off running followed by Blair. Her shoes limited her run so she paused a moment and kicked them off almost losing sight of Dan. By the time she caught up to him her heart sank. She could see Rufus's disheveled body lying on the ground limp near Lily's town car. Dan and the driver of the car were with Rufus surrounded by curious passer byers.

"Rufus!" Blair shouted. She knelt down next to Dan.

"Dad…what did the van look like? Did you see the plate?" Dan asked his dad.

Blair examined Rufus. He had been beaten pretty severely. Possible broken arm, ribs, and his poor face. She felt tears flooding her eyes.

"Bla…Black." Rufus choked out between short breaths.

"Okay, it's okay Dad." Dan soothed. Blair could hear the tears in Dan's voice. "The ambulance will be here soon."

"Dan…" Blair said desperately, "…Milo? Where's Milo? What happened?!"

Dan turned to Blair, grief and hate twisting his face.

"Dimitri took him."
