Nate, Chuck, and Dan sat on the sidelines with Chris, watching as Nicky and Hen squared off in the last of several games they had played over the last few hours. The score was tied 18-18 in a game to 20 points. Nick had the ball dribbling as Henry stood firm to block any possible shot.

"Come on Nick! Find your shot!" Nate called out as his son used some very fancy footwork to evade his cousin. Henry held out his arms shifting left and right, as Nicky dribbled moving backwards. Suddenly as Henry went right, Nick turned out to the left, twisted around him and dribbled forward a few feet. Setting up, he quickly to the jump shot. The ball arched through the air and dropped almost gracefully into the basket.

"YEAH!" Nicky yelled throwing his arms in the air.

"Good game Nick!" Hen said slapping him on the back.

"Thanks!"

They made their way over to their cheering section. Grabbing some water, they both sat drinking.

"That was intense guys! You both played very well!" Dan said praising the boys.

"For once I have to agree with you Humphrey. Don't get use to it. Great game!" Chuck said smiling.

"Thanks!" Both boys said.

"Well Birthday Boy you won almost every game! Planning a future with the Knicks?" Nate asked chuckling, as he grabbed him pulling him into his side for a hug.

"Dad do you really think I could play for the Knicks someday?" Nicky said looking up at his father.

"Of course! You can do anything you put your mind to Nick. Don't ever let anyone tell you different." Nate promised his boy, who looked at him with smiling eyes like Jenny's.

"So, Aunt Blair planned a small lunch fit for a Crown Prince back at the townhouse Nicholas. Let's head there now." Chuck told them, leading the group from the court.

The Dashing Divas nail salon was filled with laughter from the seven occupants who were indulging in cold drinks during the private mani/pedi party being held.

"So Serena and I are walking up the steps, and suddenly I feel something fall into my hair!" Blair exclaimed, as everyone listened and laughed.

"It was Jenny! She dumped yogurt on your mom!" Serena shared.

The four young girls turned to look at Jenny, mouths open in surprise.

"Yes I did that...but she's gotten me back so many times since!" Jenny admitted.

"Mommy, you were mean to Auntie Blair? Did you say Sorry?" Ali asked thoughtfully.

"Don't worry Sunshine. Your mommy and I made up a long time ago." Blair assured Alice.

"Girl World Wars were brutal!" Audrey said.

"Yes they were. That's why I always encourage you all to be exactly who you are and proud of it!" Jenny said looking at her daughter and nieces, who all nodded their heads in agreement.

"We don't want you all feeling you have to be perfect. Your fathers, I, and all your aunts and uncles love you unconditionally." Blair added.

"As women, you are going to face some challenges along the way, but don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't have the right to be respected, or that you're not intelligent. You are all already smart and beautiful, those two things are not separate from one another. Although there are people who will try to make you believe differently." Serena finished.

The girls all took in what their mothers and aunts said, knowing they had shared something very important.

"Alright ladies, enough with the deep wisdom," Jenny said, lightening the mood. "Who's getting what colors? Ali's a little worried because her daddy said she doesn't need make-up because she's already beautiful, which she is, but we need to help her find something she'll love."

"Don't worry about your dad Ali. Our dad says things like that too, but he's not a girl so he can't possibly get it." Audrey said.

"And when we ask him why we can't do certain things he says, "I'm Chuck Bass!" like it's the answer to everything! It's really not!" Katie added.

Blair, Jenny, and Serena looked at one another and burst out laughing.

"I always knew that was going to come back to bite him!" Serena exclaimed.

The girls decided to paint their nails green, blue, red, and yellow to go along with the theme of the party, while their mother's chose single more traditional (for them) colors.

"Alright ladies, lets head back to the townhouse for a snack, and get ready for the party." Jenny said as they all checked to make sure their nails were dry and headed for the door.

The guys lazed around the living room of Chuck and Blair's townhouse after finishing the superb luncheon Blair had arranged.

"I have to say that was excellent!" Dan said as he reclined on a love seat with Chris leaning against him.

"B outdid herself putting that together." Nate stated in agreement with his brother-in-law.

"My Queen is nothing, if not thorough. Anything she puts her mind to will be glorious, this was just further proof." Chuck said, smiling as he complimented his beloved wife.

"She's not here Dad, you won't feel her wrath if you don't praise her handiwork." Henry told his father jokingly.

"Hen haven't you learned by now that there is nothing that goes on in this house or with our family, that your mother doesn't know about or somehow orchestrate?" Chuck asked his son laughing as his phone rang signaling a call. It was the lady herself. "Hello Darling!" He answered after tapping the Accept button onscreen.

"I was just complimenting your excellent planning skills! The luncheon was most enjoyed by all," he assured Blair, then waited for her response, "yes we are right on schedule, and will see you in an hour or so. No we have not...it's fine Blair...we will be getting dressed shortly...I think I can be depended upon to do my part, stop micromanaging everything...No, I'm not insulting you...Enough! Everything is fine on this end, we will see you soon." He said ending the call before Blair could utter further orders.

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to get going. The ladies are already dressed and on their way." Chuck said rising.

"Where are we going? Can't we watch a movie or something before we go home?" Nicky asked, wanting to extend his birthday fun.

"Come on Nick, let's get changed...all will reveal itself soon." His dad said, ushering him upstairs behind his uncle.

"Oh this is great! The staff really outdid themselves!" Jenny said as they walked through the Grand Ballroom at NYC Athletic Club. It was decorated like a carnival right out of a child's dream. Games lined the walls, there were hundreds of colorful balloons, cotton candy, and dunk tanks. She was pleased that it had all come together so well.

"Don't let them know you're so pleased! They'll become lax! I taught you better than that." Blair whispered.

"B stop it. The staff has done a wonderful job, and it should be acknowledged." Serena scolded.

Jenny just laughed and continued surveying the room. The hired staff assigned to each station were dressed in white button downs with multicolored stripes and dark pants. Guests were starting to arrive, the final piece would be her precious birthday boy.

NJ*NJ*NJ*NJ

Nicky rode with his father in their town car back to the club. Everyone was wearing like outfits, courtesy of his awesome mom, green t-shirts and dark jeans. The tees had white script that proclaimed, "Nicky's The Man!" on front and "Nick The Great is 8!" on back.

As they pulled up to the club, he heard his dad call his mom's cell. "Sweetheart, we're outside, just pulled up. Okay, coming in now."

"Ready Nick?" His dad asked smiling.

"Okay, but I'm a little confused." He replied.

"All will be revealed soon..." Nate said again, mysteriously as they exited the car.

The club manager met them in the lobby and lead them to down a long corridor and onto an elevator. When the doors opened, the first thing he saw was a huge banner hanging above the open doors of a room, which proclaimed, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS!" and a multicolored balloon arch surrounding the entryway.

His mom and sister came out as he stared at the decorations.

"Surprise! Happy Birthday Peanut!" His mom said folding him into a tight hug, as his dad picked up Ali and kissed her cheek making her smile. Nick looked up at his mom and smiled as his dad placed his free arm around them both, so that the entire Archibald family shared a group embrace. Crushed between his family members, he slightly registered a camera flash, as the hired photographer captured the moment.

"Are you surprised Nick?" His dad asked.

"Very! I wasn't expecting a party. Thanks!" he said grinning.

"Well it's time for the Fun to begin!" his mom said taking his hand and leading him into the room. It was a carnival! Games, clowns, food, and all his extended family dressed in the same green tees giving tribute to his birthday.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled.

"WOW!" he exclaimed as his eyes widened at his very own birthday carnival surprise.

"Alright handsome, go have fun!" his mom said giving him a little push.

His cousins and a few of his friends from St. Jude's surrounded him and they ran off to partake in all the carnival activities, leaving his parents and sister behind.

"Nate he was so surprised, it was perfect!" She said happily, leaning up to kiss him. As usual they became lost in each other. Alice let out a soft giggle from Nate's arms as she watched her mommy and daddy kiss.

The happy little sound made Nate and Jenny part and look at their little girl.

"Are you laughing at us kissing Sunshine?!" Nate asked nuzzling Ali's neck and tickling her and making her laugh.

"You and mommy sometimes forget things when you kiss Daddy. Remember when you gave me and Nicky each other's backpacks?" Ali asked grinning.

Nate laughed as his baby made her point. His little princess rarely missed anything.

Surprising him, Ali placed both of her tiny hands on either side of his face and turned his head so they were eye to eye. "Daddy, I know you said I'm beautiful without make-up, but I got my nails painted. See!" she said waving one hand in front of his eyes, allowing him to see her colorful little nails. Before he could compliment her, she placed her hand on his face once again and looked him in the eye. "Daddy just because I wear make-up or get bigger doesn't mean I won't be your little girl anymore. I always wanna be your little girl, okay Daddy?" She asked worried.

Nate simply stared at her for a few moments. Then he kissed her forehead as he had that morning, and pulled her little body into his chest for a hug. "I love you to the moon and back Ali and you'll always be my Little Girl!" He whispered fiercely in her ear. "I love you too Daddy, to the moon and back," she said as her blue eyes danced. He held his baby and looked at her mother, who looked at them smiling.

"Ok sweetheart, I want you to go have some fun at this awesome party you and mommy planned." He said putting her down, and watching her run to Audie.

"You are an Awesome father to our children, Nate Archibald," Jenny said placing her hand on his cheek, as their daughter had a few minutes before.

They smiled at one another then moved into the ballroom to mingle with the guests.

NJ*NJ*NJ*NJ

The party was in full swing now. The children and adults went from one game to the next enjoying themselves. The only area that hadn't been fully engaged yet were the two full dunk tanks. The chosen occupants were stalling.

"Dan, you and Chuck agreed." Serena reminded her husband.

"I know that Serena. If I'm going in, Prince Bass is too, but look at him. He hasn't made a move yet. I'm not going until he does."

"Chuck, you promised." Blair said.

"And I am a man of my word. No matter how plebeian this may be, I will participate. At this moment I am simply enjoying the view as my Humphrey counterpart wonders whether I'll find a way out of this." He said smirking.

"Chuck...you're still such a bad boy...," his wife purred, kissing his jaw.

"Always for you Kitten...," dipping his chin and taking her mouth in a heated kiss.

"Chuck! Blair! Ewww! Seriously, it's a child's birthday party! Could the two of you act a little more appropriately!?" Serena said as she walk up to them, Dan in tow.

"Dear sister, as I've said before, you could benefit from our wisdom...," Chuck said after releasing his wife's luscious lips.

"Alright Chuck, are you ready to do this?" Dan asked impatiently.

"If we must...you didn't have to wait for me Humphrey. You could have gone ahead. Show me how it's done." Chuck said laughing.

"Let's just get this over with!" Dan grumbled, stalking over to the tanks and climbing the ladder on the first one.

Once both men were perched at the top of each tank, party goers began moving toward them. The staff member assigned to work the dunk tanks called out, "Step right up Ladies and Gentlemen! Be first to dunk Manhattan's Elite! Real estate mogul and CEO Charles Bass and Award winning author and editor Daniel Humphrey!"

Their children were the first to try and dunk their fathers, to no avail. Their friends and wives came next, but still no dunking. Everyone became bored as it looked like no one could dunk the men. Only their wives remained by the tanks, a bit annoyed that they remained dry despite multiple efforts.

"Well this looks like a futile effort. Think I'll come down," said a smirking Chuck.

"Me too," said Dan.

"Not so fast!" Jenny called as she, Ali, and Nate strolled over. She grabbed a ball and tossed it from hand to hand a few times. "I didn't get a shot at you guys. Neither did Ali, or Nate for that matter. He says he doesn't want a shot at you two though, so it's just us girls, I guess."

"So Ali, how about you take Uncle Dan, and I'll take Uncle Chuck?" Jenny suggested.

"Ok Mommy." Her daughter agreed taking a ball from the basket.

"Come on Sunshine, give it your best try!" Dan encouraged. Secretly, he didn't think there was any way his three and a half foot little blond niece could take him down, but he had to be a good sport.

Nate whispered instructions in Ali's ear. She adjusted her stance and went to throw the ball. It winged the target and fell.

"Jenny why are you forcing your baby to do this? She's just a little girl. It's too much pressure." Dan called out to his sister.

Ali ignored her uncle and took her stance again. Her little brow furrowed as she took aim and sent the ball sailing right into the center of the target. The bench flipped from under Dan and his weight carried him to the bottom of the tank with a splash, before he even realized what was happening.

"Yay!" Ali said as she clapped over her accomplishment. Her mom and aunts praised her as her daddy placed her on his shoulders.

"Dan, never underestimate that natural Archibald athletic talent!" Jenny laughed as her brother climbed from the tank and grabbed a towel.

"Then I have nothing to worry about, as you're only an Archibald by marriage." Chuck said.

Jenny stopped laughing and turned to the second tank, sizing up her prey. "Do you think it's a good idea to heckle me Chuck?"

"You're a mother Jennifer. You must set the best example for your children. You're also First Lady of New York state, it would be unseemly for you to act unladylike." Chuck reasoned.

Completely disregarding his chiding tone, Jenny let the ball go double fast, right into the target! Chuck hit the water with a splash.

The women all laughed as the one and only Chuck Bass climbed from the tank and grabbed a towel, glaring at Jenny who high fived her daughter and kissed her husband. The Humphrey and Bass children along with the birthday boy ran over to see what all the commotion was about.

"You guys finally got dunked!" Henry laughed.

"They sure did! By Ali and your Aunt J!" Nate shared.

"My family is Awesome!" Nicky said.

Awhile later Lily and Rufus came over and surprised the children with an invitation to a sleepover at their penthouse. This was the perfect end to his day, Nick thought.

As the party ended and everyone began to exit the ballroom, he went to speak to his parents.

"Mom? Dad?" He said as his parents stood talking with his Aunt Blair.

"Yes precious?" Jenny responded, stroking his hair.

"I just wanted to say, thanks. This was the best birthday ever!" Nick exclaimed.

"Oh Peanut, we're so glad you enjoyed it!" His mom said as his dad lifted him for a hug.

"Have Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house! And look out for Ali." Nate said leaning back to look him in the eye.

"I will."

"We'll pick you up tomorrow evening." Jenny called out as he ran over to his grandparents who were already holding Ali's hand.

"J this was a very successful event!" Blair praised.

"My baby enjoyed it, so yes it was."

"Brunch tomorrow? Once we all surface that is..." Blair suggested, laughing.

"We'll call you." Nate said leading his sweetheart away.

NJ*NJ*NJ*NJ

Nate sat with his back against the headboard of their king size bed. He and Jenny were in the midst of a wild, heated, and wet kiss. Her hands clutched his hair and her hard little nipples rubbed his chest as they pressed closer together. Running his hands down her back, he grasped her ass and spread her legs over his lap. Lifting that sweet little bottom, he brought her over his steel hard cock. Never breaking the kiss, she reached between them and grabbed him placing the head just inside her. She moaned then whispered, "Fuck Me...just need you to...Fuck!"

Grabbing her ass, he brought her down into his lap, driving all the way into her.

"Yesssssss!" She cried, grinding against him. These shallow little movements continued for a while. They both moaned at the sensations rippling through their bodies.

Jenny grasped the top of the headboard as she rose on her knees slightly, causing his dick to begin sliding from her. When only the head remain within her, she slid back down, taking him completely. This began a new rhythm.

"That's right baby...Ride Me!" Nate commanded as he clutched her waist helping her move up and down his shaft.

Jenny started to keen as each thrust rubbed his cock against her g-spot. "I need to come! Touch my clit Nate!"

Bringing his hand to where their bodies joined, he pressed a thumb against her swollen wet little bud. That touch sent her over the edge wailing her release.

Nate pulled her down until he was completely embedded in her pussy as it contracted around him. He came then, flooding her womb.

Arms around each other, they relaxed, still joined.

Opening their eyes they looked at one another and both mouthed, "I love you."
