Chapter 44: Home

Blair looked down at the sleeping little boy on her lap and was overwhelmed once again with tears of relief and joy.

She had him.

She had Milo.

He was on her lap.

He was sleeping on her lap.

She felt the need to pinch herself again.

The place was swarming with Police. Georgina and Dimitri were currently in custody. She could see them in the not too far distance. Hang cuffed and glaring in the back of a cop car. She could feel Georgina's hate from where she and Milo sat in the ambulance.

"Blair!"

Blair looked over to see Jenny jogging over to the ambulance.

"Jenny." She beamed.

Jenny jumped up into the ambulance and threw her arms around her sister in law. They both started to cry. Blair pulled away first and brushed Jenny's hair lovlingly aside taking in her sweet face.

"How in God's green earth did you get here?" Blair said in a disbelieving whisper.

"It's a long story." Jenny laughed. "But honestly I'm glad I did get involved."

Blair frowned not understanding, but then saw Jenny turn and reach her hand out encouraging a young man to walk out of the darkness next to the ambulance and into the light of the vehicle.

"And who may you be?" Blair glared suspiciously.

"Don't get angry ok?" Jenny sighed looked at Blair pleadingly. "I was upset at first too but Lucas is…well he is…"

"I'm Lucas Markov." Lucas broke in bowing his head slightly to Blair in greeting.

Blair felt her face flush in surprise and a little anger. She looked at Jenny confused.

"Lucas saved me Blair." Jenny said quickly. "He might have been working for Dimitri in the beginning…and might be the reason I ended up here…" Blair's eyes flared and looked back over at Dimitri, "…but he saved me in the end. He did right by me—by you and Milo. He…"

Blair held up her hand stopping Jenny and looked back and forth between the two of them.

"Ok." Blair smiled slightly. "I understand Jenny, and I thank you Lucas for your help in all of this."

Lucas instantly look relieved at Blair's words.

"Thank you Blair." Lucas smiled back.

"But that being said…" Blair looked back and Jenny and gave her a knowing glance. "…I can tell you two have feelings for each other…" Jenny and Lucas looked at each other then back at Blair, Jenny smiling and Lucas looking terrified, "…so I am going to let Dan handle that one, because all I can handle right now is having my son back."

Jenny wrapped her arms around Blair again, careful not to wake Milo, and squeezed tightly.

"Thank you Blair…for understanding." Jenny whispered.

"I have your back little J." Blair replied.

Jenny pulled away and gave Blair and quick peck on the cheek.

"Love you B!" She chimed jumping out of the ambulance and grabbing Lucas's hand.

"Love you too J." Blair smiled back.

She watched the two of them walk off towards another unmarked cop car and hop in the back. How was Dan going to handle that? Blair thought to herself with a laugh.

Dan had never been so scared, relieved, angry, and happy in his entire life.

To learn Blair had talked those two stupide cops into letting her go with him—he knew she was brilliant at the art of manipulation and scheming but this time she had really scared him. All he could do was sit and worry in a hospital room while she was out there—while she was in danger. He was the one who should have been out there. He was the one who should be risking his life. Not Blair. Not the love of his life. He felt like a failure once again and had been so angry…but then to learn that Milo and Blair were safe—and that Blair had him—that Dimitri and Georgina were in custody—well he felt the weight of the world fall away from his shoulders and instantly longed to hold them. He hugged Detective Voight when he offered to take him to them, which was out of character for him—but he had been so relieved and grateful. Voight had just patted his back once and murmured "Umm yeah well lets go."

He could see the flashing lights in the distance and knew they were getting close. The trees started to thin and before he knew it, he was looking at a clearing with a large warehouse and cop cars everywhere. His eyes quickly landed on the ambulances near the building and his heart about exploded out of his chest.

There in the ambulance closest to the building he could see Blair wrapped in a brown blanket, cradling a small child in her arms. He rocked out of the car and was running.

"Blair!"

Blair looked up and met his eyes. Her entire body reacted at the sight of him. He instantly longed for her. Needed her. Needed her in his arms that moment.

In one jump he was in the ambulance crushing his lips to hers. Her free hand reached up and pulled the collar of his shirt closer deepening the kiss.

"Oh God." She whispered between kisses. "God! Dan it's you!"

He pulled back to see tears streaming down her face. He reached up and brushed them away and she laughed at the familiar touch.

"I really was afraid I would never see you again." He whispered kissing her forehead then ran his hand through the tossed curls of Milo's little head taking a sigh of relief.

She pulled his mouth back to hers and brushed her lips against his gently, sweetly, and then lazily—as if she was relishing in the moment, making up for lost time.

"Promise me you will never ask me to leave you again Daniel Humphrey." She suddenly whispered desperately against his lips.

He looked down at her in surprise and saw the pain in her eyes.

"Blair I…"

"I know you were trying to protect me…that you wanted me safe…I get that because I would want the same for you, but without you I am nothing. And didn't we take vowels that said in the hard times and the bad that we would stick together?"

"Something like that." Dan smiled sweetly at her.

"Stop smiling Humphrey! I am trying to tell you that I hate sitting in the stupid hospital room wondering where you were and if you were ok and…"

"…if you would ever see me again?" Dan ended for her, suddenly understanding her point of view. "I get it."

Blair pulled back and looked at him suspiciously.

"You do?"

Dan laughed—more to himself.

"I do." He promised meeting her eyes. "Blair when you didn't show up to the hospital with Serena and Nate, I lost my mind with worry. Especially when I found out you were going after Dimitri and Georgina. I was ready to tell you how unacceptable that was and how furious I was with you for putting your life in danger…" Dan hesitated seeing a glare flash across his wife's face, "…but…" He grinned holding his hands up, "…I realized just now how unfair that is…because I did the same thing to you."

Blair let out a little sob at his admission. He wrapped his arms around her and she snugged her head into his chest allowing him to hold her and Milo.

Dan hugged Blair and Milo tight, allowing his head to drop against Blairs. He closed his eyes and thanked God for returning to him his family.

The trip back to New York had been longer than expected due to Blair refusing to board an airplane. Dan couldn't blame her. It was too soon for him as well. The only downside was having to ride in the car with his sister's new boyfriend, who also happened to be the nephew of Dimitri Markov.

That surprise had rocked his world—and Dan didn't need any other surprises. But when he had heard about what Dimitri had done to Lucas's father and what Lucas did to save Jenny—well what kind of big brother would he have been to refuse the guy. That didn't mean he wasn't going to keep an eye on the guy. Blair had promise him she was already on it—which who knew what that meant.

Returning home to the loft had been amazing. Carrying a sleeping Milo into his bedroom and lying him down on his own bed a sweet exhilarating moment. When they had stood in the doorway watching him sleep, Dan slid his arm around his wife and pulled her into his embrace. Blair rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.

"This is lovely." Blair had whispered.

"Mmm." Dan agreed lowly.

"There is no pressure now. No threat of him being taken away…."

Dan smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

She looked up and smiled back at him. His eyes met hers and he saw the love there. The relief. The joy of having "them" all back together, then he saw the heat and the need too. He led them into the hallway and shut Milo's bedroom door, then met her gaze with his own need.

He lowered his mouth to cover hers. She was ready for him and instantly deepened the kiss. Her hands slip up his arms, shoulders, around his neck and then slide into his hair grasping and pulling his head to give her better access to his mouth. His own arms encircled her waist and lifted her up, pressing her into the wall. She instantly wrapped her legs around his waist and arched her back pressing into him…needing to feel him against her. He gasped at the feel of her and needed more. It wasn't enough.

He pressed her harder into the wall and allowed his hands to travel up her legs, to her thighs, gently raised her dress up until he could feel her undies. His fingertips felt the soft silk of her undies and then the warmth of her sex. He pushed the silk aside and plunged a finger deep into her warmth. She gasped into his mouth and then moaned as he started his movements. Her kisses became harder and faster, as her hips moved with his rhythm. It didn't take her long. Soon her body shook making her break off their feverish kisses to cry out as she came, arching back against the wall. Still hungry, he pulled the remained of her undies down and off her legs, as he trailed sloppy kisses down her neck to her collar bone, feeling irritated when he came into contact with her dress. He ripped at the dress, sending buttons flying, pulled down her bra and took her right breast into his mouth sucking greedily while starting up his movements again with his fingers at her core.

"Oh God!" She cried out grabbing his head and pressing into his hand. "Dan…oh…oh God!"

He worked feverishly taking her other breast into his mouth and worked his hand against her until he felt her shake and come for the second time. She fell limp against him, but he wasn't done yet. He carried her off down the hallway and laid her gently onto their bed. Their marriage bed. The bed he had imagined being with her those many times he never thought he would see her again. Blair sat up.

"What is it?" She purred pulling at his tie.

Dan grinned at her.

"Just being her with you. I was so afraid I would never…"

She pulled hard of his tie and crushed her mouth against his, pulling him onto the bed with her working at his tie, then at his buttons. Before he knew it she had made history of his shirt and was working at his belt.

"Me too." She whispered against his lips. "I was afraid too."

She pushed his pants down and they hit the floor. He grinned.

"Can I help you with something Mrs. Humphrey?" Dan murmured sweetly in her ear making her core throb with the instant need of him.

"Mmmhmm." She hummed. "But first I want to help you with something."

Blair suddenly had Dan on his back. She moved slowly against him as she reached down and pulled her dress up and over her head, then unfastened her bra sending it flying to the floor behind them. Dan went to reach for her but she firmly pushed him back down onto the mattress then bent down, trailing hot sloppy kisses down his chest and hovered right above his boxers, cupping and squeezing him gently. Dan couldn't help himself. He reached down with one hand and grasped Blair long hair encouraging. She looked up and grinned wickedly as she slowly pulled his boxers down.

He was more than ready for her. The pleased look on her face almost made him come on the spot, but when she took him into her mouth he instantly became undone, his head flying back against the mattress in pure bliss at the feel of her mouth.

Her mouth then was on his once again. Hot, passionate, need filled kisses that made Dan flip her over on to her back, and plunge into her greedily making them both cry out in pleasure. Dan couldn't help himself and wouldn't be taking his time. He worked furiously moving against her, looking down to see her starring back up at him just as hungry—her hips worked just as hard to meet his own—they both needed this so bad—to know the other was truly there—to know that they hadn't lost the other—to know that they were going to be ok—

Dan felt himself going and looked down to see Blair close as well. He bent down and took one of her bouncing breasts into his mouth feeling her instantly tighten around him, arch and shake making him follow quickly behind.

They laid there for some time after. His head on her stomach, her hand running through his hair, just taking in the moment. Just being.

Sometime before sunrise Blair felt Dan stir next to her, then felt his mouth.

She sleepily looked down to see his mouth sucking and kissing slowly down from her breast to her stomach and then to…

"Mmmm…Ohhhh" She moaned sliding her hand down to grab his hair. He mouth felt amazing. Was she dreaming?

He hummed back to her making her body shake with the friction it caused. Then he chuckled against her making her flinch and rock into him.

She needed him now.

She reached down and pulled his mouth up to hers and guided him into her once more.

This time he moved slowly, torturously against her. She fought to quicken the pace—but he refused kissing what felt like every inch of her body as if he were thoroughly checking to make sure every freckle was still where he had left it. The slow deliberate movements of love made her heart soar and she found herself tracing the line of his shoulders, examining the freckle on his neck, then tracing the outline of his jaw. Then his lips. His lips were soft and beautiful. She pulled his mouth down to hers, sucking his bottom lip into her mouth and bit gently.

Something stirred in Dan and began to move fast against her. She grinned knowingly at him and reached down to his bare butt, digging her nails in and dragging them gently up. His head thumped against hers and he let out a moan of pleasure. She continued her trail up his back until she reached his shoulders, then just braced herself as Dan brought them both over the edge together.

Sometime later, when the sunlight had just starting pouring into their room they heard a scream.

Dan jutted up out of bed alert and ready. He grabbed his boxers and took off down the hall. Blair not fair behind in her robe.

They found Milo screaming and crying in his bed.

"MAMA, DADDY!"

Dan was at his side in an instant, taking Milo into his arms. Milo welcomed Dan's arms and threw his own around Dan's neck in a fierce tight embrace.

"Daddy's here." Dan soothed rocking the little boy.

Blair knelt beside the two them and ran her hand gently threw Milo's curly brown hair.

"What happened baby?" Blair whispered gently. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Mmmhmmm." Milo shuddered in fear again.

"It's ok buddy." Dan kissed his head. "We have you now. No one will ever take you again."

Milo looked up at Dan with big brown eyes.

"Promise?"

Dan and Blair felt their hearts break at the sight.

"Promise." Dan and Blair said together.

Dan hugged Milo tightly again and felt a tear slip down his cheek as well.

"What about some hot chocolate?" Blair suggested sweetly. Milo popped his head up in excitement.

"And waffles?!" Milo exclaimed.

Blair and Dan laughed.

"And waffles." Dan smiled.

"I want the mint chocolate!" Milo screamed in excitement taking off out of the room.

Dan stood laughing, watching Milo scamper off. He looked over at Blair.

"What would you say to making one of those?" He nodded off at Milo.

Blair looked over at Dan in surprise and then grinned.
