Hi there. As announced, this is the end of the story. Before I'll start the sequel, I have to finish three other stories and there are still some people waiting for their requested story, so please give me a little time but I think I'll start the story before x-mas.
I hope you liked it. Special thanks goes as usual to my amazing beta Holly. (You guys really should read her stories btw, they are amazing, Her nick is kinkybootz88)
Blair, Chuck, Nate and Serena entered the Waldorf penthouse and were glad to find no one at home beside Dorota.
"Dorota!" Blair squealed happily when she spotted her maid. No matter how hard she denied it, she loved Dorota and Dorota loved her.
Dorota grinned from ear to ear when she spotted her foster child. "Miss Blair. You're back!"
"Yes I am. And I brought Meeeeester Chuck." Blair returned with a wide smile. Dorota rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Ah, now we know where she learned that." Nate whispered to Chuck and Serena who chuckled.
"You hungry?" Dorota asked the four. And they nodded enthusiastically. Dorota was well-known for her perfect cook skills.
"Glad to be home, Blair?" Chuck asked as he took her hand on the way into the living room.
Blair sat down next to him. She took a moment before she replied. "Yes, actually I am. I really missed the city."
"So did I." Serena added. "And I miss our house. Look Blair, it's really nice for you to offer your guestroom but I really don't want to leave Eric alone with Mom again. I think Nate and I should stay at Lily's."
Chuck and Blair nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I figured out that much. But if things get rocky, you know you can always come to me, right?" Blair lifted an eyebrow.
"Of course, B." Serena returned smiling.
After the dinner, Nate and Serena left. Blair and Chuck went upstairs to her room to unpack.
"So, Chuck, it's seven pm. What do you want to do now?" Blair asked teasingly. He answered her with a devilish smile before he pulled her in his arms and kissed her passionately.
Meanwhile downstairs.
"Dorota, I'm back!" Eleanor shouted distressed. Her driver let the suitcases drop in the hallway and Eleanor shooed him out.
"Miss Eleanor. You back early! Didn't you say 'stay until Sunday'?" Dorota greeted her.
"Well, hello to you too Dorota." Eleanor shook her head.
Dorota bit her bottom lip.
"What's wrong Dorota?" One of the thing Blair inherited from Eleanor was the unparalleled sense for secrets.
"Uhm…" Dorota decided that the truth would be the best "Miss Blair is home."
Eleanor's face fell completely. "She's home?"
Dorota nodded. "Upstairs. With Meeester Chuck."
"With Chuck Bass? Upstairs?" Eleanor's shocked expression turned into a slight angry one. She rushed upstairs and knocked on Blair's door. The noises from inside the room made her purse her lips.
"uuuhhh…NOT NOW DOROTA!" Blair yelled. It didn't stop Eleanor from pushing the door open.
"DOROTA I TOLD Y…" Blair started to yell. Her dress and her hair were a mess. And Chuck who only was dressed in his pants was buried in her neck when Eleanor came in. "Mom."
It stopped Chuck's penetrations immediately. He pulled back and turned around.
"You're home." Eleanor smiled – a gesture she nearly never did.
"Looks like that." Blair pouted but Chuck gave her a little tap on her butt which she answered with a death glare. Eleanor noticed nothing of that. She was already walking closer to her daughter and before Blair could react, Eleanor pulled her in an embrace.
Blair was frozen and Chuck was totally taken back. Sweet or soft gestures from Eleanor towards Blair were rare. She even complimented Serena more often.
"I'm glad you're back, sweetie. But I'm afraid Chuck has to sleep in the guestroom." Eleanor pointed out.
"No, Mom. Come on. We lived together for more than four months together and slept in the same bed. So please, just let him." Blair protested.
Eleanor sighed. "Well, at least don't be too noisy."
"I can't promise that." Chuck smirked and Eleanor pursed her lips in a thin line.
"Anyway, we going to need that guestroom for someone else." Eleanor continued.
"Who?" Chuck and Blair asked in union.
"Your father. For some reason Lily called him before she took off to get you. So he should be here soon." Eleanor said.
"I'm not sure if he wants to see me. I was pretty cruel to him after all." Blair bit her bottom lip.
Eleanor took Blair's face in her hands. "He loves you, WE love you. He shall forgive you if you can forgive him." she nodded at Blair before she turned her head to look at Chuck. "Same goes for you, young man. Your father was really happy to hear you'd come home to visit him in hospital, you know."
Eleanor left the room and let two very confused teenagers alone in there. What ever Eleanor interrupted before, it was the last thing on their minds right now.
Blair turned around to meet Chuck's gaze. "I can't face him, Chuck."
"Sure you can. If I could go head to head with Bart, you can do the same with Harold. I'm positive." Chuck summarized.
"Okay." Blair returned.
"Serena, please don't get mad but I think I should go home to my mom. I'll come over later to your place, okay?" Nate said carefully.
Serena eyed him for a moment before she nodded.
"Nate, are we going to be ok?" Serena asked weakly. She knew the day would come they had to get back to their life, to the city they grew up and the fate their parents wanted to create for them.
"We will, Serena. All of us." Nate assured her. It was a new chapter in their life and nobody could take it away from them.
12 months later.
"Chuck, I can't believe they hired you for that job!" Blair exclaimed excited.
Chuck smirked. "But they did. When Bart made me do this internship he'd never thought he'd see that day. "
Blair smiled sadly. "You still don't call him dad."
"Yeah, and I still don't call you sweetheart or darling, Waldorf." Chuck challenged her.
"Oh, that's not necessary anyway" Blair smirked before she pulled him in a kiss.
The coming back to the city and starting school again had been rocky. Still the NJBC graduated High School and applied for colleges. Except Chuck. As soon as Bart got out of the hospital, Chuck started an internship at Bart Ind.
Chuck and Bart were fine now. They'd never be good but they'd be fine and that was more than enough.
Lily and Serena (as well as Eric) made a silent agreement to give each other another chance. Serena and Nate moved to a little flat at Murray Hill that Nate's grandfather bought them.
Nate would go to Columbia. He and his family were on speaking terms again but the Archibald's would never be a truly happy family. Though, Nate was fine. He had Serena after all.
Blair would go to Columbia too. She'd live in the Waldorf penthouse though. Eleanor found herself a new husband, Cyrus, who loved Blair just like Harold and Roman did. Her life was perfect now. A happy mother, a father who cared and the best boyfriend in the world – Chuck Bass.
FIN.
