A/N: Ugh, it has taken me FOREVER to update. I'm sorry. But this chapter is super long, so I hope that makes up for it a bit!

…

"Blair?" Chuck said softly, taking a step further into her bedroom. Dorota had said she was up here, but he didn't see her. He looked around for a moment before he heard some faint rustling coming from her closet. A smirk formed on his face as he strolled across the room but it was instantly wiped off at what he saw before him.

Blair was standing in her closet, searching through hangers and hangers of clothing in only her lacy lingerie and an open sheer robe. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes drank in the sight before him.

After they had gotten engaged, Blair had decided that they would abstain from sexual relations for the last two weeks leading up to their wedding. At the time he had agreed, thinking that they could engage in all sorts of games to satisfy their hunger for each other while still building the anticipation for the wedding night, but now that they were into the second week of that time period, he was realizing just how long fourteen days was.

Before she could notice his presence, Chuck walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips to her neck.

"Hmm, Chuck," She groaned, leaning back into his embrace, "What are you doing?"

"Giving some much needed attention to my stunning, irresistible fiancée," he said, nipping playfully at her ear and running his hands over her flat, smooth stomach.

Blair placed her hands over his to pause their movement, "Well you need to stop," She turned in his arms and placed her hands on his chest, "Otherwise I don't know how long I will be able to contain myself," She said before she pressed a quick kiss to his lips and pulled away from his hold.

"So what are you really doing here?" She asked as she continued her search through her closet until she picked out a simple, conservative dress, "Since I know you are well aware of our agreement for the next few days until after we exchange our vows."

Chuck sighed at her resolve, "Can't I just want to visit the beautiful woman that will soon become the next Mrs. Bass?"

Blair had stepped into her dress and she looked at him skeptically before she turned her back towards him, "Can you zip me up?" Chuck stepped forward and when his hand came into contact with her back she continued "And tell me the real reason you felt the need to drop by."

He quickly pulled up the zipper on her dress and stepped away, knowing that she wasn't going to give in to his advances. "My lawyer came in today and dropped this off for my consideration," He said, picking up a packet of papers he had set down on a nearby shelf when he had entered.

Blair looked confused as she walked over to him and took the papers out of his hands, "What is it?"

"A pre-nup."

She looked up at him with wide eyes, "A pre-nup? I didn't know you wanted-"

"I don't," He quickly assured her, "The legal team did this on their own. They think I need to 'protect myself.'"

Blair's brow furrowed and she shook her head, "Chuck, I don't want your money. Even if things were to go bad, I wouldn't-"

"I know," He cut her off and put his hands on her arms, "And it doesn't matter anyway because I'm not going to mess up this time. Nothing is going to go wrong."

Blair smiled before she looked back down at the documents in her hand, "So do you want me to sign this, since it doesn't matter?"

"No," Chuck said with a shake of his head, "I already looked through it and I thought it might help you relax a bit to read it over and see some of the ridiculous things they felt the need to include."

"Thank you," She said, although she still seemed concerned, "But if your lawyers think you need to protect yourself and your company I don't mind-"

Chuck held up his hand to stop her and shook his head vehemently, "No, Blair, that isn't necessary. Let's face it, if things were to end badly between us it would be my fault. And in that situation you would deserve whatever you wanted from me."

"But Chuck-"

"Fine," He said, moving away from her and out into her bedroom. She followed and found him seated at her desk pulling a piece of paper and a pen out of a drawer, "We will write our own agreement." He told her, beginning to write as she neared.

She read over his shoulder as he wrote and couldn't help but smile at what she saw. When he was finished his back straightened and he handed the paper over to her for inspection, "Here, how is this?"

"Charles Bartholomew Bass and Blair Cornelia Waldorf-soon-to-be-Bass agree that we will completely love and support each other throughout our union. We will fully share all possessions, thoughts, and feelings with no secrets between us," She read out loud, "In the highly unlikely event of an end to this union, the wronged party reserves the right to amass the best legal team money can buy and seek whatever amount of compensation they should so desire. And if this improbable split is somehow amicable, the aforementioned parties agree that all properties and wealth will be divided in a fair and peaceful way."

Chuck's arm snaked around her waist and pulled her onto his lap, "Are you satisfied?"

Blair nodded and kissed his cheek, "Now give me that pen so I can sign this thing and you can show those lawyers of yours that you are protected from your big, bad, bitchy fiancée."

"Hey, that's my future wife you are talking about," He teased as his lips leaned forward towards hers, "And I happen to love when she is a bitch."

…

"Okay, so this is the color that you want for the linens?" Blair asked, holding up one of the many samples sitting on the table.

It was a week after she had returned from her weekend away with Chuck and she was feeling refreshed and content. It was the day of prom for Ed and Theo and Blair was spending the evening with Celia and Hank piecing together the last minute plans for their wedding while the twins and Emily got ready for the dance.

"Yes," Celia answered hesitantly before she looked over at Hank, "Right, Babe?"

"Yeah," Hank said indifferently, trying his hardest to stifle a yawn, "That one is great." He had tried to be enthusiastic and helpful with the planning, but all these trivial details were too much for him. At this point he just couldn't wait for the wedding day to arrive.

Blair frowned, but before she could scold him for his lack of interest Lauren walked into the room with a plate of light snack foods Dorota had prepared for them. "Hey, how is the planning going?"

Hank instantly perked up and grabbed a branch of grapes, "Great," He said sarcastically, "I love wedding planning."

Lauren laughed, "Yeah, your brother does too." She set the plate down on the table and sat down, "I can't believe the day is almost here already. My wedding is only a month away and yours is two short weeks after that!" She looked over at Celia with a teasing grin, "Oh, and you're welcome for delaying my honeymoon for two weeks so that CJ and I could attend your wedding."

Celia scoffed, "Whatever, Lauren," She teased, "My date was set before you even got engaged. You made that decision for yourself when you chose your date."

Lauren shrugged her shoulders and nodded, "That's true."

"Celia," Blair interjected in her best effort to keep them on task, "The wedding planner left this seating chart. It is pretty much finalized, but do you think we need any last minute changes?"

Celia looked over the chart and when her eyes landed on the family table she paused, "My mother," She looked up at Blair, "Are you sure she is coming?"

"Well, haven't you reminded her of the date whenever you have spoken with her?"

"I have, but you know my mom…What if she doesn't show up?" She asked, sounding like a small, scared child.

Hank reached forward and squeezed her hand reassuringly while Blair sat up straighter and her mouth formed into a hard line, "She will show up, I'll make sure of that."

Celia shook her head, "You can't know that. With my mom it's impossible-"

Blair held up her hand to stop her, "Nothing is impossible for the Basses. I have a team of PI's watching Serena. If she doesn't have her skinny little butt back here in the city two days before your wedding I am going to give them a call and fly to wherever she is so I can bring her back here even if I have to drag her by her long, shiny blonde hair."

"But what if she doesn't want to come? What if she doesn't want to be here for my wedding?"

"Oh, Sweetie, she does," Blair assured her, "She would never intentionally miss your wedding. She wants to be here. And I will make sure she is. I would never let her forget her one and only daughter's wedding."

Celia smiled, "Thanks, Blair."

Blair returned the smile and patted her hand, "It's no problem at all, Cece."

At that moment Dorota came into the room, "Ms. Blair, you have guest."

Blair excused herself from the table and followed the maid to the front hall where she saw Will Vanderbilt waiting patiently.

"William," She greeted him kindly with a kiss on the cheek, "How nice to see you! You look well."

He smiled down at her, "As do you, Mrs. Bass."

"And how is your internship with my husband? Or has that not started yet?"

"Next week," He told her, "Right now I'm just settling back into the city."

Blair nodded, "Of course. I know CJ is very excited to have you working with him this summer." She paused and looked around, "Um, he isn't here at the moment, but if you want to wait, Lauren, Hank, and Celia are all-"

"Actually," He interrupted, "I'm here to see my sister."

Blair's eyes widened slightly and then she shook her head, "Of course, how silly of me. Of course you want to visit with Emily. Jenny is helping her finish getting ready for tonight, but you are more than welcome to go up and see her."

"There is something I wanted to speak with you about first."

Will had a very serious expression on his face, which was unusual for him so Blair instantly frowned with concern, "Is everything alright?"

He cleared his throat and looked down, "Yes, yes, everything is fine," He stuffed his hands into his pockets and said in an official tone, "I don't know if CJ informed you, but my parents have given me an apartment for the summer while I'm here in the city. It is quite a large space and while both I and my sister are extremely grateful for your hospitality, I would be more than willing to have her come stay with me while I am here."

Blair huffed and shook her head, quickly dismissing his offer, "Don't be silly. It is absolutely no trouble at all to have Emily stay with us. Alexandra adores her and it is nice for me to have an extra set of hands around here."

"Yes but-"

"Plus," Blair continued, giving him a knowing look, "You want to have some fun this summer as well. You don't want to have to worry about a pregnant, hormonal teenager. And I don't want to have to worry about her facing any complications on her own. I would rather have her here, with me. I know what she is experiencing; I have gone through it six times."

Will nodded and grinned, "I guess you're right. I just didn't want you to feel like you had to-"

"Nonsense," Blair said with a wave of her hand, "It is our pleasure to have Emily here. Now go on upstairs and say hello to your sister. I'm sure she will be excited to see you."

His grin grew as he said thank you and walked up the staircase to the second floor of the apartment.

Blair chuckled to herself as she turned to return to Celia and Hank. But she had only taken a few steps down the hall before a door opened and an all too familiar hand pulled her into the coat closet.

In an instant the door was closed and she was pressed up against it while her husband's lips latched onto her neck. "Chuck," She gasped, "When did you get home?"

"A few minutes ago," He said between kisses, "I slipped in while you were talking to William Vanderbilt."

Blair giggled as he nuzzled her cheek, "But why are you in the closet?"

"So many kids," He groaned as he pulled her closer and kissed her lips, "This seems like the only place I can get an uninterrupted minute alone with my wife."

Blair moaned at his touch, but before they could go any further they heard a call from down the hall, "Mom? Hey Mom, Where are you?"

Chuck sighed when he felt Blair pull away from him, "So much for uninterrupted."

She turned to him with a grin, "Don't worry Bass," She said as she took his hand and leaned in close to his ear, "I'll make it up to you later."

He followed after her while she opened the door and exited the closet, "I'm looking forward to it."

Blair rolled her eyes, "Come on, Lover. Our children await," She said, pulling him down the hall.

They walked back into the main room, where Hank, Celia, and Lauren were still sitting but with Ed and Theo now standing there as well.

"There she is," Hank said with a nod towards the door, causing the twins to turn around.

Blair gasped at the sight of them in their classic tuxedos. They looked so much like younger versions of their father, and the matching frowns they were sporting mirrored the expression Chuck featured on many occasions.

"You said you wanted to get some pictures of us before we left," Theo said in an annoyed tone, "So can we get this torture over quickly?"

"Yes, yes. Dorota!" Blair called, causing the maid to come bustling in with the camera in hand, "Dorota, can you take a few photos of the twins looking so handsome in their suits?"

"Of course, Miss Blair," She said with a nod.

The twins stood next to each other with their hands in their pockets while Dorota began snapping away.

"Can you try smiling in a few?" Blair asked, "It won't kill you, I promise."

At the same time the twins quirked up one side of their mouths forming that infamous Bass smirk. It wasn't exactly a smile, but Blair was more than satisfied with it.

After a couple more pictures, Theo sighed and pulled out his phone, "Is that enough? I really need to be going. My date hates to be kept waiting."

Ed, being familiar with the girl Theo was escorting to the dance, rolled his eyes at the innuendo. Knowing that girl and his brother, Ed would have been surprised if Theo made it to the prom at all.

Chuck was smirking with amusement and Blair frowned, "I guess so, just please be careful tonight."

Theo strolled over and kissed her cheek, "Don't worry, Mom, I am always careful."

Hank and Ed shared a look of doubt that didn't go unnoticed by their father, but they didn't say anything as Theo walked out of the house.

Only moments after he was gone William came barreling down the stairs. "The princess is ready to make her entrance," He said with a bow, extending his hand towards the staircase, causing everyone in the room to look up towards the second floor.

Emily descended the stairs with Jenny following proudly behind. She looked stunning in a dark, long dress that hid her growing baby bump.

"Oh, Em, you look beautiful!" Celia exclaimed, clasping her hands together with excitement.

"Thank you," Emily said, but she didn't so much as glance over at the other girl because she and Ed only had eyes for each other.

His eyes were wide and his mouth had dropped open slightly when he saw her. She approached him slowly and looked down with a bashful smile, "Hi."

"Hey," Ed said softly, "You look-, you look fucking amazing."

"Thank you," She said cocking her head slightly, "You clean up rather nicely yourself, Bass."

"Well I think you both look great," Blair said before she waved Dorota forward, "Come, let's take a few pictures before you go."

Ed groaned, but Emily pulled him into place beside her and placed her hand on his chest, "Oh quit complaining." She scolded him.

He muttered something under his breath about already having to pose for the paparazzi, but once she was pressed up closely against him his complaints seemed to disappear. Blair watched as he closed his eyes, pressing his nose to Emily's hair and kissing the side of her head. She was so proud of how much he had grown and matured since Emily had come to stay with them and she was still amazed by the transformation he had gone through.

"Okay, we should really get going," Emily said, pulling away from his embrace, "We want to arrive fashionably late, but if we don't leave soon we will be too late."

Ed still couldn't stop staring at her as he replied, "The limo is already waiting downstairs."

"Great," She said, before she turned to the other people in the room, "Thank you Blair and Aunt Jenny, for all your help today. I really appreciate it. And thanks for stopping by, Will, I've missed having you around."

"No problem, Sis," He said with his usual goofy grin, "Don't worry, I'll be in your hair a lot more this summer while I'm here in the city."

Emily smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm not," Ed said softly, causing Emily to elbow him, "Hey, careful there, Princess! Don't injure your date before you even get to the dance."

"Whatever," Emily rolled her eyes, but a small smirk was playing on her lips, "Let's go."

Emily took his hand and began to pull him towards the door. Just before they left, Ed turned back towards everyone, "Have an enjoyable night."

"You too," Lauren called.

Ed smirked just as he entered the elevator, "Oh, we will."

Emily hit him again just as the doors closed, causing the rest of the Bass family to laugh at the young couple.

A/N: Blah, it kind of fell apart there at the end, but I really just wanted to get it done. Please review!
