They spent the next two weeks under the Tuscan sun, wine tasting, relaxing, rekindling their flame and making love at every opportunity, regardless of where they were.

When they returned to New York, they were ready to take on whatever obstacles the world threw at them, together.

And with Blair walking out on the Prince of Monaco at his wedding, there were plenty of national and international headlines to stir up drama for them – some praised her for being so bold and following her heart, others shamed her. Eventually the press died down and got over it.

But that was just the first of many obstacles Blair and Chuck would face in their life together.

Just in their first year of marriage, there was the sudden return of Chuck's father Bart who apparently faked his death for a mysterious reason and almost immediately wrote both Chuck and Jack out of Bass Industries once his return was cemented, which was then followed by Chuck, Jack and Blair's scheming to to get to the bottom of why Bart disappeared in the first place. And then there was the chaotic mess of Blair struggling to learn the ropes of running Waldorf Designs, having to spend her weekdays of the summer in Paris, away from Chuck whom she'd visit in Monte Carlo on the weekends (they'll always have Monte Carlo!).

Even finding a place to call their own home had become an obstacle to overcome. They finally settled on Blair's mother's penthouse as Serena eventually moved in with Dan and Eleanor and Cyrus spent most of their time in Paris anyway. They signed the lease (and Dortota's services) over to Chuck and Blair with the condition they would still be welcomed to stay there when visiting the city. It wasn't too long after they moved in, with Monkey in tow, that Blair learned she was once again pregnant, this time with Chuck's child. Despite a rough pregnancy (yet another obstacle they faced in their first year of marriage), Blair gave birth to little Henry Prince Bass.

While she ran her own division of Waldorf Designs specializing in uniform apparel for school girls and eventually signing Jenny Humphrey to her own Waldorf Designs line, Blair's main passion in life was to be a devoted and supportive wife to Chuck and a doting mother to Henry. Chuck, while still the majority shareholder in Bass Industries, after Bart's second death he sold the remainder of his shares he didn't need to Lily, making her the second majority shareholder in the company. He continued to let his Uncle Jack run the international operations of Bass Industries, while Chuck oversaw the the operations in the US. The business endeavors he took the most pleasure in though was real estate, buying up side businesses around Manhattan here and there like he had previously with The Empire and Victrola.

Regardless of whatever obstacles they faced, they always made it through everything together.
His success was her success and her success was his.
Their loved always conquered all.
For they will always be Chuck and Blair.
Blair and Chuck.
The Basses.
