A/N: I'm sure we're all in dire need of some fluff ever since 5x11 and 5x12 and I'm here to bring it to you all :D This one-shot takes place on Valentine's Day after Blair tells Chuck they are expecting. I hope you enjoy and Happy Reading!
"Penny for your thoughts, love," She said as she slowly lifted her head off of his soapy chest and turned her body to face him. He had been awfully quiet for the past few minutes as they relaxed in the warm bubble bath he had prepared for her.
The romantic dinner he had planned for her for their Valentine's Day together was magnificent and whether it was her hormones or not tears collected in her eyes over all the surprises he had waiting for her and his sweet gestures. Despite the fact that she loved their entire night out she just couldn't wait until they were back at their penthouse where it would be just the two of them for the rest of the night.
His surprises continued once they arrived back at their luxurious penthouse. As they walked into their bedroom hand in hand he told her he had one more surprise waiting for her and without waiting for any response from her he quickly dashed into their bathroom that was conjoined to their master bedroom.
It was only moments later when he walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom wearing nothing but his CB embroidered boxers that she had bought him for Christmas and she found herself biting her lower lip as she thought about ripping the offending piece of clothing off and having her way with him. She was brought back into reality when he surprised her even further as he lifted her in his arms and carried her into their bathroom where she gasped in awe once she saw the transformation of their decorated bathroom.
He had lit her favorite scented candles and placed them all around the bathtub in the shape of a heart, which was almost over-filled with bubbles, rose petals were floating on top of the bubbles, and to top it all off the lights were dimmed to make it even more romantic than it already was.
"We just have so much to do before the baby gets here. We have to get the nursery ready, we have to tell your parents, Lily, Serena, and Nate about our newest addition to our family, we have to baby-proof the penthouse, we have to plan the baby shower, we have to buy everything our baby will need; clothes, bibs, diapers, and a crib, we have to pick out a name for our child; two names actually, we have to sign up for a kind of class that will help up prepare for the baby's arrival, we have to start buying books so we can read them to be even more prepared for when our child is welcomed into this world. Maybe we should go now and get the books and get a head start," He managed to rush out in one long breath. He tried to take calming breaths as he waited for her to say something, anything, but all she did was smile. On any other day he would have definitely smiled just as wide as she was because they were talking about their child, but today was not that kind of day. Today he was worried more than he had even been in his lifetime and he needed her soothing voice to calm him down and when she didn't say anything he was actually baffled, which rarely ever happened because he knows her so well.
Because I know you better than I know myself.
He was baffled because she was always his voice of reason, she was always the one to caress his cheeks to calm him down instantly, and she was always the one to tell him everything would be okay.
Yes, he was definitely baffled but all his thoughts, including his worries, left his mind when she started to close the distance between them and in the next moment he felt her soft lips on his. Their kiss quickly deepened because, well they were Chuck and Blair, and their passion quickly intensified when they were with each other.
"You're freaking out," She told him when they pulled away from each other and she started to massage his tense shoulders.
"There are just a lot of things that need to be done before we welcome our child into this world," He replied as his hands drifted to her still flat stomach.
"And we have nine months to worry about everything we have to do. For now, let's just enjoy the fact that you and I both created a child with our ever-lasting love," She said before she leaned her forehead against his as she cupped his cheeks in her hands. She smiled as she felt his body become more relaxed.
"You know there is one task in preparation for our baby's arrival that is already done," She told him as she pulled back away from him moments later.
"And what would that be?" He wondered as her arms wrapped around his neck.
"We already know his or her last name," She said as she smiled widely.
"That's true," He said as he shook his head and laughed. "But I'm sure our child wouldn't be too fond of being called Baby Bass for the rest of his or her life,"
She could instantly feel his body tense once again as all his worries overtook his thoughts again. She knew she needed to distract him and before she knew what she was exactly doing her hand went under the water and with the water she collected in her palm she splashed him in the face.
"You are so going to pay for that," He told her as he moved closer to her, as he was ready to retaliate.
"I'm pregnant," She yelled. "You can't harm a woman who is pregnant, especially if that woman is pregnant with your child," She told him despite the fact that she knew he would never cause any harm to her, especially now that she was pregnant with their child.
"You're going to use this pregnancy to your full advantage for the next nine months aren't you?" He asked with his signature smirk.
"I sure am," She informed him as she smiled.
"You're lucky I love you,"
"Me too," She smiled. "It wouldn't be an ideal situation for me to be in if I was pregnant with another man's child, especially a man that I didn't love," She said in a teasing manner.
"Stop talking," He said playfully as he moved even closer to her and his lips were just inches away from hers. Their lips finally fused together and they pulled each other closer as she played with the short hairs at the nape of his neck and his hands were tangled into her brown curls.
"You're the one and only man I can ever picture being the father of my children," She assured him as she gasped for breath when they pulled away from each other.
"You're the only woman I can ever imagine being the mother of my children," He told her as he caressed her stomach once again.
"Are you ready for this next adventure in our lives together?" She inquired as she placed her hands over his.
"Absolutely," He replied immediately. "Are you ready?"
"Positively," She told him before she leaned towards him to kiss his lips once again. Her lips were just inches away from his when she felt a sensation in her abdomen.
She quickly looked down to her stomach before she looked to Chuck as their gazes locked with each other's.
"Are you okay, Beautiful?" He asked with a hint of worry.
"Yeah," She said distractedly before a smile graced her lips. "That's our baby making his or her presence known,"
"Our real-life fairytale continues," He whispered as he laced his fingers with hers.
