A/N: This is a tiny, little, baby chapter. But, I really wanted to get it written and the next chapter is going to be longer and full of drama, so, this is just a prelude. Plus, it has a lot of C/B, which I thought you all would enjoy. Lol.

…

Blair was sitting in the seldom used kitchen of the Bass penthouse one evening late in the summer going over some paper work. The elevator dinged, and she looked up to see her husband stroll in, returning from his most recent business trip.

"Well, well, well, look who dressed up for me this evening." He said as he looked her up and down appreciatively.

Blair snorted, but with a smile on her face, "Oh please, this is what I wore to the office today," She said as she gestured down towards her form-fitting skirt and silk blouse that showed a tasteful hint of cleavage, "I just haven't had the opportunity to change yet."

"Oh really?" Chuck said with a quirk of his brow as he set his briefcase down by the door and began to walk over to her, "Well I would be more than willing to help you change out of that outfit, although I don't know if I will allow you to put on anything else for quite a while."

"Is that a promise?" She asked as he placed his hands on her hips and lifted her up onto the counter in one fluid motion. He was standing close between her legs as her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, "Someone is eager." She giggled as his lips traced along her jaw.

"I missed you." he said in explanation as he moved down her neck.

She smiled as she stroked the hairs on the back of his neck, "You were only gone for two days."

"I missed you." He repeated simply against her soft, delicate skin.

Blair dragged his face up to hers, "I missed you too." She whispered before she crashed her lips to his.

His hands had slowly inched up her skirt and she had managed to significantly loosen his tie. She was just beginning to unbutton his shirt when they were interrupted.

"Oh, gross!"

"Jesus, can you at least not do it where we eat?"

Chuck and Blair broke apart and Blair flushed in embarrassment at being caught making out with her husband by their teenage sons. She tried to put some distance between her and Chuck, but he refused to back away. Instead, he turned to look at the twins with a cocky smirk, "You really think we have never had sex on here before?"

"Chuck!" Blair admonished as she hit his shoulder.

He merely looked at her and shrugged; "Now they know the truth."

Blair rolled her eyes before she looked at her the disgusted faces of her sons while she was still smiling like a love-sick teenager, "So where are you two off to tonight?"

The twins' expressions quickly morphed into smirks just like their father's as Theo replied, "We're going to visit a couple different college bars. Summer classes just ended at NYU, so hopefully we will be able to find a couple of co-eds that are out celebrating and looking for the kind of good time only Bass could provide."

Chuck's eyebrows rose in amusement, but Blair's face suddenly became much more serious, "You boys know I don't approve of that type of behavior, but I won't stop you. Just please, please, be careful."

"Yes," Chuck added, "You don't want a nice case of herpes and your mother and I don't want a bunch of baby Basses running around here."

"Oh God, no," Blair said dramatically, "I am way too young to be a grandmother."

Ed flashed his trademark charming grin at his mother, "Don't worry, Mom, Bass men always handle their business."

Blair closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose as her husband chuckled against her hair. The twins took the opportunity to make their exit without further interrogation, calling out their goodbyes as they left.

Once they were alone, Chuck began massaging his wife's thighs, eager to continue their previous activity, but she backed away from his attempted kisses and glared at him, "I hope you realize that is your spawn walking out of here," She said as she gestured towards the elevator, "I am convinced there is not an ounce of Waldorf blood in them."

Chuck grinned as he moved his face close to hers, "I always told you the Bass sperm was strong."

"Shut up, Bass," Blair scoffed.

"Gladly," He said as he pressed his lips to hers once again.

…

A few hours later, Ed walked into his fourth bar of the night, hoping for more success than he had had in his previous attempts. Theo had left a while ago with his usual tall, blonde, knock-out but Ed had been unable to find anyone that held his interest. All the girls he had seen were either airhead sorority girls who were already completely wasted or they were homely nerds who were below even his standards.

It wasn't that Ed was extremely picky with his women; he just knew what he liked and what he wanted. Theo would always go after any girl that was hot. And while looks were certainly important to Ed as well, he would never take home someone that was less than an eight, maybe, on a slow night, he also wanted to be entertained; to be intrigued. He was bored by women so easily. He needed something, anything, to keep his attention.

And on this particular evening he couldn't find anyone worth spending more than five minutes with. All the girls were bland and he was quickly getting bored. He was just about to get in his limo and call a professional when something, or someone, caught his eye.

A girl had climbed up onto the bar and was swaying seductively to the music. She was clearly intoxicated, but she still had an elegant grace to her movements and her dress was short and tight but it wasn't trashy and it didn't reveal too much.

As Ed watched her dancing, he felt a wave of familiarity rush over him. He began to wonder who exactly this girl was, mentally go through his list of conquests to make sure he hadn't had her before. She was short despite her five inch heels with narrow hips and a tiny waist. She swung her shimmering reddish blonde hair over her shoulder and Ed's smirk faded as his eyes widened in realization.

It couldn't be, could it? Was that really prim and proper Emily Vanderbilt up there?

...

A/N: Ugh, I am so worried about messing up the names accidentally, especially with the whole Ed/Chuck thing (since Ed Westwick plays Chuck). So, if it seems like a name is wrong/it is referencing the seemingly wrong person, it probably is. I apologize in advance.
