Because you're Still Mine

Chapter 13

A/N: I would totally let you all slap me! I was getting really good at updating some what frequently than I went and blew it! If it is any conciliation, I worked really hard on this chapter to make up for it! This is the longest chapter that I have ever written for this story.

One ore thing, the only song I could think of when writing this was Hero by Enrique Iglesias so that is what I am naming the chapter after!

XOXO

Happiness. That was the one word that had been on Blair Waldorfs mind from the moment Chuck Bass asked her to marry him. Happiness was the only word on her mind while she twirled around in her new Vera Wang wedding dress. It was a strapless beauty tight around chest with a pure white until just above the waist there was a large cream bow. The skirt was layer after layer of gauze.

"Blair," Eleanor said in exasperation, "Are you sure you want this dress? I could still make you that dress from in your scrapbook," Yes, Eleanor knew about the scrapbook. When Blair had been but a child it seemed like they has gone through it nightly.

*FLASHBACK*

One night just like any other, Eleanor had tucked Blair into bed. They were going through a mighty ritual.

"Mother, you see that dress there," Blair pointed to the princess dress, "It's going to be my wedding dress when Nate and I get married."

Eleanor smiled as she listened to the story her eight year old told her every night. She didn't care though. Time spent with Blair was a miracle.

"Yes dear, it is quite wonderful!" The elder woman said with a soft smile.

"You're going to make it for me right mother? You'll make my dress for me?" Blair asked in excitement just as everynight.

Just as every night Eleanor responded, "Of course my dear. I dream of the day that you will let me make your wedding dress."

She then smiled and pulled Blair covers up to her chin and kissed her little girl softly on the forehead before putting the scrapbook back into the drawer in the bed side table and shutting off the lamp. Truth was, after Blair had fallen asleep, she would come back in and sit on the end of the bed and watch. Watch as her little chest rose and fell. Watch a sweet smile would grace her lips as she dreamed her little eight year old dreams.

*END FLASHBACK*

"I've told you already mother, you can't make me that dress because the groom has changed. That dress was created with Nate in mind. The dress I have on now was custom made with Chuck in mind," Blair reminded her mother for what felt like the millionth time.

"Let me make you a different dress than. I'll make a dress with Chuck in mind just like you want darling, "lairs mother offered with hope.

"I've already picked this dress though mom," Blair reminded her before twirling around on the pedestal in front of the mirror, "Besides, I think Serena, Georgina and Charlie agree with me when I say that this is the dress for me!"

Around her, all three girls nodded their heads, slightly afraid of Eleanor. Well all except Charlie who spoke up, "Gwama, I think mommy looks like a princess."

Blair smiled as she kneeled down to tickle Charlie, "Tomorrow we can go shopping for your princess dress my love!" Charlie giggled and clapped her hands.

Eleanor sighed, "So I suppose that's final?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Blair smiled sadly and nodded, "I'm not eight anymore mom. I don't have scrapbooks or plans of any sort. I'm just going with the flow and hoping that it leads me to a place where I'm happy. I'll try to control what I can and so far, I couldn't imagine my life any different."

Eleanor nodded her head and sighed, "I guess you're right," than she smiled, "Come on, get out of that Dress and let's go shoe shopping!" All of the girls cried out in happiness. Happiness, the word of the day.

Xoxo

Disgust. That was the one word that had been running through Chuck's mind ever since he had gotten into work today.

He had completely forgotten that yesterday was his secretary's last dot of work before she went into maternity leave for a year. He had finally found a good secretary who didn't flirt with him at every chance she got and her husband had to go and get her pregnant. Now he was stuck with some hussy who had recently decided that the life of a prostitute was not for her. She had thrown herself at him about ten times now and he had only been in the office for forty five minutes.

"Mr. Bass? I brought you your coffee. Two creams, two sugar right?" Speak of the devil. Here she is now, with the wrong coffee in hand.

"Actually Lacie," He was cut off when she reminded him that her name was actually Lauren but he just ignored her, "I drink my coffee black and I don't ever drink it from the kitchen, I prefer Starbucks. So I'll write that down so you don't forget it and you can go get it for me." He said, clearly annoyed. The girl grabbed the piece of paper he had written out his order on and scrambled from the room.

Truth was, he had just lied to her. He didn't care where his coffee came from as long as it was hot and black. That's why he had been hiding his "To daddy, Love Princess Charlie" mug from his daughter for fathers day. On it was a picture of him and Charlie at the zoo.

He had been looking for an excuse to kick her out of the office for a while now from the moment she was introduced to him.

So he called Blair. When it went straight to voicemail, he tried again. And again. And again. And again until he realized that she wasn't going to pick up so he sat at his desk doodling and staring at a picture of his family. Be did it for a whole half an hour before his phone rang.

"Hello, you've reached Bass Industries, Chuck Bass speaking," he said in a buissness tone.

"You couldn't wait until I was done my fitting to call me?" Blair said in annoyance. In Chucks defense, he had completely forgot about the fitting, not that it would win him fiancé of the year, so he chose to move on with the conversation.

"Come save me from my secretary," He begged!

"What are you talking about?" Blair sounded confused, "You love your secretary, she is your savior remember?"

"She is, but then she went on maternity leave and her replacement for the next year is looking I to getting into my pants, not furthering her career," He whimpered harshly because by now she could back from grabbing his coffee. Like the coward he knew he was, he quickly tried to come up with a slow task that would cause her to leave him alone for a while. Something time consuming, but not to important. She was blonde after all, even if it was fake.

In the background of the phone, he could her Blair telling Serena to watch Charlie for a couple of hours before jumping into her new red Ferrari, "I'll be right there Chuck. Get her in your office. Were putting on a show my love."

He sighed happily, "Oh I am so in love with you!"

SPOTTED: C gets some unwanted attention from a girl. There is a first time for everything!

Xoxo

By the time Blair walked into her fiancée office, Lauren was already back with Chuck's coffee. It was obvious from his far away look Chuck had started to feel uncomfortable.

"Bass?" Blair asked in a professional voice.

Chick cleared his throat and looked up from the desk where he and Lauren were doing paperwork, "Blair, it's nice to see you. This is my new secretary Lauren."

She smiled in her mind as the script that they put together over the phone fell into place.

The smile that graced Blair's face fell, "What happened to your last secretary? You know the one I picked out for you."

"I told you," He hissed, "she went on maternity leave."

"You should have let me come help you pick a new one! This girl obviously only wants into your pants!" She looked like she was about to cry.

"Nonsense, Bass industries is one of the most sophisticated businesses in New York, our employees know that. Besides, it's the interns that are all sluts."

"Chuck, I demand that you fire her!" Blair cried out!

"Whoa," Lauren said in a snotty tone, "You can't fire me! What's wrong with you? Are you pregnant or something?"

"That's what I came to tell you before I saw this!" She was about to turn and leave when Chuck jumped over his desk and grabbed her arm!

"Really?" He said in an excited voice, "Were having a baby?"

Blair nodded her head and Chuck gave her a giant bear hug! They seemed so caught up in the moment when Lauren spoke, "Okay, there is no way I can sleep with a guy who has a baby on the way. There is way to much baggage!"

Him and Blair frowned, "For that comment alone, you are so fired!" Chuck called as she left the room! She had only lasted an hour and a half!

"Blair, your not actually pregnant are you?" Chuck asked.

She smiled secretly, "I was going to wait until after the wedding to tell you but I guess since we are getting married in a week that what's the point?"

He nodded his head, "Can we have more kids?"

"Not unless you're getting them from some where else!" He quickly shook his head and told her that it would never happen, "Two is my limit! Sorry Bass!"

Chuck stuck his lip out and pretended to pout but Blair ignored him!

"Now come on Bass, you have a tux fitting and I wanna make sure that you don't get something too eccentric!" She pulled on his arm.

"Can I at least have a purple bow tie?" He begged for the thousandth time.

"We shall see," Blair bargained.

"I don't get why we only have a month to plan the wedding!" Chuck pointed out.

"I told you, the judge would be partially swayed if we aren't married because it would make Charlie house look unstable!

Xoxo

"Blair?" Chuck called after he got home from work that night. After the fitting, he had to go look for a new secretary.

"Chuck," she whispered back, "I'm in Charlie's room."

"Be quiet," She added when Chuck dropped his brief case on the floor.

He tip toed into his daughter's room. Blair was sitting on the bed staring at her in a motherly fashion. The emotions on her face expressed love, gratitude, pride and sadness.

Chuck sat down next to her and pulled her close. That was the first time in a long time, that he saw Blair Waldorf cry.

"I love her to much! I just got my baby back and there trying to take her from me! I can't lose her Chuck!" She cried into his chest and he pulled her closer to him.

"I won't let anyone take her away. I'm much to selfish!" Chuck forced a small smile that never made it to his eyes.

"W-what?" Blair stuttered through the sobs that racked her body.

"I was so alone in my life until you started to love me. In my life, you Blair Waldorf are like the air I breathe! When we spilt up, I couldn't breathe," He wanted to erase all the things bad he did, "Than one day, I get a call from my P.I. He tells me that this beautiful brunette that I'm in love with came into town with a princess."

Blair smiled at the memory of taking her daughter back home.

"Suddenly, you were thrown back into my life! Now I have my air and suddenly, there's a sun in the sky. I've come accustomed to this life of happiness and I'm not willing to let it go!"

Blair smiled and kissed his cheek, "And you never have to."
