It's been a while since my last update. But I was inspired by the promo for the finale.

What happens after Blair chooses Chuck in the finale (which we all KNOW will happen!)

Based on recent spoilers – don't read if you do not want to be spoiled about anything potentially related to the finale.

Starts off not too happy – but don't worry, I'm a CHAIR fan forever!

She climbed the stairs, her heart racing her chest. She could feel the thumping of her heart and she didn't know whether it was due to nerves, or the act of climbing up the stairs. It was cold on the roof of the Empire. And windy. But Chuck stood facing the wind, looking out over the city lights. He didn't hear her as she approached him and he didn't turn around when she called out his name softly.

"Blair," he simply said, not turning his gaze away from the city.

"Chuck I…" But she couldn't finish her sentence. The words were caught in her throat.

He finally turned around. "What Blair?" The words came out harsh and cold.

"I…" she tried again.

"Come to tell me that you choose me now?" he sneered. "Cause we all know how that's gonna end." He frowned. "You'll just throw me away again when something 'better' comes along," he growled.

"That's not fair," she whispered.

"No Blair!" he shouted, anger getting ahold of him now. "What's not fair is you telling me you love me and that you want to spend the rest of our lives together. That you fucking want me to raise your baby with you! And then you turn around, before I can even blink, and are off first marrying the prince and then fucking Humphrey of all people!"

Her eye's widened. "No, that's not what happened!" Blair finally shouted back. "I wanted to be with you Chuck! I came to you before…" she paused, hesitated for a moment. "I came to you before the accident, when I still had the baby…" she trailed off. "I wanted to be a family with you Chuck. But fate got in the way."

Her words got lost in the sob that escaped her lips. And Chuck instinctively reached out towards her, his hand gently grasping her hand. She looking down at their entwined fingers and sniffled.

"Do you really believe in all that Blair? Fate… I dunno." He looked at her tear filled eyes. "It seemed to me that you chose Dan. You chose Dan when you could have finally had me for real." He trailed off, turning back around to face the city. "I wanted that so much," he whispered to the air.

"Me too," he heard her say softly behind him. "I was so confused. So lost. I wanted an out. I wanted to break free from all that drama of the past year. And Dan…well, he was there for me in a way nobody else could be. He was carefree and light and the perfect distraction." She saw him stiffen.

"I was there for you Blair. And I tried to be there for you after the accident, when you lost the baby." He heard her sob.

"Don't…" she whispered. "Please Chuck," she cried out quietly. "I don't wanna talk about her."

"Her?" he asked, turning back to face her. She nodded.

"Yes. I was going to name her Audrey," she smiled softly.

"That's the perfect name for Blair Waldorf's daughter."

And then she broke down. And the tears that had been hovering on the edge of her eyes, spilled down her cheeks. Noiseless sobs escaped her lips and she tried to bury her face in her hands. But Chuck was quicker. His hands grasped her face lightly, his thumbs tracing soft circles across her cheeks. And then he placed his mouth over her lips, muffling her cries.

She was still for a moment. And then her arms crept up to his neck and she pressed her body tightly against his frame. He kept her face gently between his hands. All the while their lips remained fused together. This was their first kiss in over 6 months. And the first moment where they could kiss uninterrupted.

"I love you," she whispered, breaking away from his lips, kissing his lips and cheeks and neck over and over. He buried his nose in her hair and let her lips explore. "I love you. I love you. I love you," she whispered over and over. "Please Chuck. Please love me too."

She returned to his welcoming mouth, parting his lips with her tongue. She heard him groan.

"Blair I never stopped loving you. No matter how hard I tried." He kissed her lips once. "I can never stop loving you. You're everything to me." He placed a lingering kiss on her lips. "You're it for me." She gasped against his mouth.

Chuck pulled away from her lips, but grasped her hand tightly.

"Look what Bart found." He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a tiny velvet covered box.

Blair's eyes widened in shock. "Is that…?" Chuck nodded. He opened the box for her to see.

"It's the Harry Winston ring," he said. "I don't know how he found it. Or why he bought it. All I know is that he said that I had to give this ring to the woman I marry." Chuck looked up at Blair. Her eyes were glued to the sparkling ring.

"Chuck I…" her eyes reached his.

"Blair please. I know you want to be a strong independent woman. Heck, I wanna be a strong independent man." He laughed lightly. "But we can do that together. We can be strong together. Loving someone and letting someone else in doesn't make you weak. It took me a while to figure that out."

He gently took the ring out of the box, holding the sparkling piece of jewelry in his palm.

"Will you consider us being strong together? Will you consider a life together… jobs and kids and a house and all?" He paused. "Blair Waldorf, will you marry me?" She was nodding, softly at first and then more furiously, when he looked up.

"Yes," she finally said. And she grinned, a warmth spreading through her like she had never felt before.

Chuck was grinning too.

"Really?" he asked.

"Absolutely!" she cried. "Now put that damn ring on my finger Bass!" she laughed.

He slid the ring onto her finger and then entwined their fingers. And then she was in his arms again and their lips crashed together. He lifted her off her feet and spun around. She giggled.

"Finally," he whispered, pressing their foreheads together.

"Three years in the making," she replied.

"I've been trying to give you that ring for three years." He laughed. "The ring wouldn't leave us alone though."

"I'm glad it found its way back to us," Blair said. "I was devastated when you said you returned it."

"I know," he whispered.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you then that I was so upset." She sighed. "Would have saved us a lot of pain." He kissed her then.

"I love you so much it hurts," Blair said.

"There's only one thing to do when you love someone this much," Chuck said, grinning slyly.

"Oh? And what's that?" Blair asked. He pulled her closer, leaning in and whispering in her ear…

"Have lots and lots of sex." She laughed.

"Let's see what I can do," Blair answered, and captured his lips in a searing kiss.

And they kissed each other senseless on the rooftop of their kingdom.
