Blair sat on the bed twisting her fingers in the sheets. "B it's going to be ok." said Serena.

"You don't know that." said Blair.

"Things always work their way out for you." said Serena.

"Serena this is not a spring formal or a brunch at the Plaza. This is determining whether or not I get to keep my children." Chuck came through the door and closed it behind him. "Were the paper here?"

"I don't know I didn't make it to the fax." he said. "Our parents are in the parking lot." Blair sat up her heart pounding in her chest.

"How are they here so soon?" she said. "We were supposed to have more time!"

"We don't have more time." he said wrapping his hand around her. "Blair what do you want to do?" She sat her head spinning unable to grasp onto a single thought.

"Nate." she said looking up at him. "Go stand by the fax machine and the second the paper get here from my father bring them straight here." He nodded and shot out the door down the hallway. "Serena go to the NICU and have the nurses bring Damien here. If we're going to face our parents it's going to be with our whole family."

"You'll be fine B." said Serena as she headed out into the hallway.

"What do you need me to do?" said Chuck.

"Give me Cassidy." she said and he lifted the small bundle and handed her to Blair. "And just... stay here with me." He nodded squeezing her arm since both her hands were wrapped around their daughter kissing her temple.

"You can do this." he said softly. "We can do it. They'll have to find us first and by that time I bet Nate will be back with the stuff from your dad but even if he's not no one is going to take the twins away. No one is going to take our children." Blair looked down at Cassidy who was unbothered by all of this and had fallen asleep against her mother. Blair was too scared to watch the door so she kept her eyes focused on her daughter. When the door opened she looked up her heart pounding but it was only Nate.

"The papers came through." he said holding up a thick stack of paper.

"Let me see." said Chuck taking them and flipping through them. "Blair they can't touch them now. It's ok."

"Let me see." she said trying to look at the papers. He held them out to her and she looked over the small print until she saw her fathers slanted signature across the bottom besides Roman's loopy script. She exhaled a breath she seemed to have been holding for the past three days.

"I could go head off your mother." said Nate. "Didn't that nurse say she could ban them from your room?"

"No." said Blair. "I want her to see her grandchildren."

"Are you sure?" said Chuck. Blair nodded bouncing her daughter gently against her. Not much time had passed before Eleanor came storming through the door.

"Blair Cornelia Waldorf what on earth are you doing, what are you thinking?" she said her eyes narrowed at her daughter. "You are so incredibly irresponsible I cannot-"

"Are you done?" said Blair cutting her mother off. "Are you ready to stop treating me like a child and just listen to me?"

"Blair you're being ridiculous now let's give me the baby and-"

"Her name is Cassidy." she said. "Your granddaughters name is Cassidy and if you were less concerned with what people thought of me and you you'd notice she's the only one here because your other grandchild, Damien, is in the Natal Intensive Care Unit."

"You see Blair you're not old enough to handle a child on your own, your inexperience put your children at risk."

"Blair did not put Damien at risk." said Chuck holding tight to Blair. "If you'd been concerned with anything but adoption agencies you'd know Blair had a condition that you aggravated by trying to take her children away. If anyone is to blame here it's you."

"Mom will you stop yelling and just listen to me? This is not the way I planned for things to happen and it may not be the life either of us would have chosen but it's the life Chuck and I have. We are parents now and we will care for our children with your help or without it. You can't take them away from me so you can either leave or you can meet your granddaughter. The shouting had woken Cassidy and her small hands reached for her mothers wrapping around her small hand around her thumb. She started crying and Blair lifted her to her shoulder rubbing her back. "It's ok Cassidy, I know you don't like loud noises so we're going to be quieter now ok?" Cassidy's cries faded to a soft burbling noise as she wound her hand in her mothers dark hair.

"Cassidy." said Eleanor. "Where did that name come from?"

"Chuck." said Blair. "And I gave Damien his name." She looked up from Cassidy to see Serena coming through the door with a nurse carrying Damien. "Chuck can you-"

"I've got it." he said opening the door and taking Damien from the nurse.

"We have to take him back in a couple of minutes." she said. Chuck nodded and held Damien close to him. Serena hovered outside the door and then wandered away looking nervously at Eleanor.

"What's wrong with- What happened to him?" said Eleanor looking at Damien in Chucks arms.

"He was deprived of oxygen." said Blair. "They're still running tests but a lot of things could have gone wrong. But so far nothing is wrong."

"He's perfect." said Chuck. "Just like his mother." He leaned down kissing his son's forehead gently. Eleanor looked at between Chuck and her daughter.

"Mom." said Blair looking up at her. "Do- do you want to hold Cassidy?" she said. Eleanor looked at her then nodded holding out her arms. Blair gently handed her over.

"She-she looks just like you did when you were a baby." said Eleanor. "So tiny..."

"I know you think I can't do this alone." she said. "But I'm not alone. Chuck is here to help me and Dad and Roman have said they'll help too. I'd like your help if not your approval."

Eleanor looked up from Cassidy to her daughters face. Blair wasn't pleading or begging or crying. She was just asking her mother to accept her family. She handed Cassidy back to Blair and walked out of the room.

"Do you think she'll come back?" said Chuck sitting on the side of her bed.

"I think she just needs time to think." she said. "Which is more then I thought she would do."

"I hope she'll come around Blair." he said looking up. "Because my father is not going to be as understanding." Blair looked up and saw a red faced Bart Bass blazing down the hallway through the small window in their closed door. He pushed it open with such force it ricocheted off the wall banging loudly. Both Cassidy and Damien started and started crying loudly.

"What the hell were you thinking Charles?" said Bart seeming to not notice the crying children. "Kidnapping the girl yo knocked up and running away? How did you think this was going to end?"

"Dad please." said Chuck trying to sooth Damien. "Keep your voice down. Just calm down."

"I cannot be calm when I have obviously raised a son who is a complete idiot!" said Bart. "Get in the car downstairs, we are going back to the city."

"The only way I'm going back to the city is with Blair and our children." said Chuck trying to keep his voice low and calm for Damiens sake. "But I am not going back to the city with you in it."

"You actually think you can raise these?" he said. "For gods sake Charles you can barely take care of yourself."

"And whose fault is that Dad?" said Chuck. "Maybe if you'd stuck around instead of handing me off to a bunch of nannies I wouldn't be the screw up you're so sure I am. Now if you're here to just scream at me you can go because I'm not leaving Blair or Cassidy or Damien."

"Charles you need to come with me right now-"

"Blair call the nurse, I'm not fighting with him anymore." said Chuck turning his back on his father holding Damien closer to him. Before Blair could reach for the call button the nurse who Blair had revealed her name two came through the door flanked by two security guards.

"Sir you are disturbing patients on this floor." she said.

"Get him out of here." said Chuck. "And don't let him anywhere near Blair or my children." The two security guards escorted him out of the room but the nurse lingered behind.

"Are you alright?" said the nurse. "Do you need anything?"

"Just quiet." said Blair finally calming down Cassidy from her frenzied crying. "And we can tell you our real names now. I'm Blair Waldorf and this is Chuck Bass."

"Nice to meet you Blair." said the nurse. "We can take cared of all that paperwork once the twins are asleep."

"Thank you." said Chuck finally calming Damien with his bouncing movements and soothing strokes over his back.

"You two are natural parents." she said. "You'll be fine."

"At least someone has confidence in us." said Blair. The nurse smiled at her and closed the door quietly.

"I'm sorry Blair." said Chuck. "I knew my father would be upset but I didn't think-"

"It's alright." she said. "It's just us now."

"The four of us." he said. "It'll never just be the two of us again will it?"

"No." she said. "Lots of things are going to change." He sat beside her on the bed looking down at Cassidy. They heard the door open and both their heads snapped up to see Nate's blond head poking through the door with Serena behind him. "Is my mom still here?" asked Blair.

"No." said Serena. "She got back in the car." Blair nodded not sure if she was relieved or upset her mother was leaving.

"This came through after the paperwork." said Nate handing Chuck the last fax page. There was a handwritten note scrawled across it that read "Blair-Bear, Roman and I are getting on the first plane we can find. We'll find a place for all of us to stay once we get there. Everything will be alright. Dad."

He showed it to Blair and she smiled as she read it. "Good." she said relaxing back into her pillow a bit.

"I'll make sure my dad isn't allowed back in this building." said Chuck."We're finally safe Blair." She smiled laying her head against his shoulder.

"But we're not even close to started." she said. Cassidy stirred in her sleep yawning. Chuck smiled down at her.

"Remind me of moments like this when she's throwing a hissy fit fourteen years from now." he said. Damien sighed contentedly.

"And remind me of this when I catch him with his first girlfriend." she said.

"Do you guys have a picture of the four of you?" said Serena.

"No we don't." said Blair.

"Here I'll take one." said Serena pulling out her phone. "Lean in closer Chuck." Chuck moved closer to Blair smiling at her. "Ok 1,2,3 smile!" Blair smiled at Chuck and then turned towards Serenas camera. She snapped the picture. "Perfect! The first Waldorf-Bass family photo."

"One of many." said Chuck.

Ok not sure if this should be the end or if you guys want more! I've really enjoyed writing this and appreciate all the great reviews I've gotten.
