The Deal

Tomorrow will be a double update, the final chapters:

Over the next few weeks, he made sure Blair took it easy and wasn't under any pressure. She made out a list of what she wanted as far as the church, flowers, menu, music. The bridesmaids and ushers were picked. It was decided that her parents would have the dinner and reception at their mansion in the country. Everything was being taken care of, all Blair had to do was pick out her wedding dress. Even little Mickey was going to be the ring bearer.

She had gone shopping with her mon and Rachel to pick out her wedding dress. It wasn't anything real fancy, but she liked it and it fit perfectly over her baby bump. The bridesmaids had their dresses picked out and Blair even bought Mickey a suit to wear for his duty as the ring bearer. Austin had his tux bought and sitting in the closet.

The closer it got to the big day the more nervous he became. It was going to be a new beginning for them, though they were already married he still couldn't wait until they said their vows in front of family and friends. He wrote his own vows and had poured his heart into it. All the money and success in the world couldn't hold a candle to having the only woman he would ever love and to grow old with.

The night before the wedding she was leaving to stay with her parents, one of the traditions she insisted on doing. He wasn't happy about it, but it was what she wanted. As her father's driver was waiting outside to drive her to the mansion he pulled her into his arms.

"I don't know why we have to be apart tonight, we are married."

She put her arms around him. "I want to do things right this time around, and it is for only one night. I love you Austin."

"I love you too, oh I got you something," he said, letting go of her he goes over and takes a small package out of the drawer. " A wedding gift for my beautiful wife and bride."

She ripped open the package with a childlike quality. "Oh my God, it's so beautiful," she said, taking out the diamond tennis bracelet. I love it and I'll wear it tomorrow."

"Before you go I want you to know how much you mean to me. Whenever I look at you I see my whole life ahead of me. I just can't put into words how much you mean to me and how I feel knowing you are carrying my child."

"Austin, you don't have to say anything, I feel exactly the same way about you. Now give me a kiss before my father sends out a rescue party to drag me back to his place."

He pulled her close, cupping the back of her head he kissed her hard, all his love and passion for her went into that kiss. He hated watching her walk away and getting into the limo, but he knew that after tomorrow they would never spend another night apart.

That night as she laid in bed her phone rang, she smiled when she saw it was Austin. "Hi, I miss you," she said, wishing she was with him.

Hey beautiful, I couldn't sleep without hearing your voice. How are you and our son doing?

"We're good, but he's kicking me right now, I think he's missing the sound of your voice. I'm missing you next to me."

I don't like this being apart, I'm coming over there right now with a ladder and will sneak into your room.

She laughed. "Don't do that, daddy will send the dogs after you and I want you in one piece for tomorrow. Austin, I want you to know how much I love you and you are the best thing to ever happen to me."

Same here baby, you're my world. I better let you get some sleep, I love you, night sweetheart.

Waking up Blair couldn't wait until she walked down the aisle to the man she loved, going downstairs she finds her parents having breakfast and went to join them. She was too excited to eat but she knew she had to for the baby's sake.

"Morning darling," her mother said when she saw Blair walk in. "Now you have a big breakfast, everyone will be arriving soon and as a treat, I've had my friend coming to do your hair and makeup."

"Thanks, mom, I appreciate that and I want to thank you and dad for arranging all of this for me. It's looking beautiful outside, I love the flowers and how the tables are arranged."

"Well, how often does my daughter get married?" Marcus said, then laughed when he realized she was already married. "We have another surprise for you and Austin, but that's a secret until later when he's here."

When she was done eating she took a long warm bath. She was curious as to what the surprise was that her parents had for her and Austin. After taking a short nap she woke up when everyone started arriving, all the bridesmaids were here, people were running around getting the meal prepared and the outside decorated.

Her hair and makeup were done and her mother and Rachel helped her put her dress on. Her mother choked up and started shedding tears.

"Oh baby, you look so beautiful," she said, wiping away her tears.

Just then Marcus walked in, he stopped to stare at Blair. "My God, you are so beautiful." He looked at the others and asked them to leave, saying he wanted to have a talk with her alone.

"Oh daddy, I hope this isn't a talk about the birds and bees."

He laughed, taking her hand he took her over and had her sit down, he sat across from her, still holding her hand. "I don't believe I need to have that talk with you, you seem to have it figured out already."

"Yup," she answered, touching her stomach.

He became very serious as he looked into her eyes, it did his heart a world of good to see her looking so happy. As much as he didn't really care for Austin he also knew he was the reason for her being this happy. "I don't think I've ever told you how proud I am of you. I am, you are smart, strong and to be the owner of one of the world's top cosmetics company at such a young age is amazing. Your mother and my biggest regret are that we were never there for you."

"That's not true daddy."

"Sweetheart, we left you alone too much when you were growing up. We were busy with our careers and all those trips we took leaving you with nannies, we were selfish. I'm so sorry baby, we thought buying you expensive gifts would make up for it but we were wrong. What we should have given you was our time and attention."

"It's OK, daddy."

He wiped a tear away before going on. "No it's not alright, I just hope you won't make the same mistakes we made. Your husband and child should always come first, they can't be replaced or time turned back. Work can't hold you or tell you how much they love you."

She got up and hugged him. "I know daddy and Austin and our baby will always take first place in my life."

He kissed her cheek. "Let's get you to the church before that man of yours comes looking for us."

Austin was standing at the front of the church, everyone was seated and the music was beginning. He looked nervously over at Harry who was his best man and pointed to his watch, it was two minutes past the time when it was to begin. Just as he was starting to sweat the wedding march started and his eyes lit up when he saw Blair walking towards him. He couldn't get over how stunning she looked in her dress, she was a vision of beauty and his heart started beating rapidly inside his chest.

When she and her father reached the front he took her hand. "You're so beautiful," he said with tears in his eyes.

They read their vows to each other, his was long and filled with so much love and emotion it had the guests in tears, as was hers. Little Mickey walked up with the rings on the pillow and they picked them up, giving the child a big smile. Once they were pronounced man and wife, again he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He didn't want to stop but the minister tapped him on the shoulder.

With his arm around her waist, they walked out of the church and was greeted by well-wishers and then pictures were taken before heading back to the mansion for the dinner and reception.

All through dinner he kept leaning into her ear, whispering, telling her what he was going to do to her when he got her alone. When the cake came out she was in tears, it was one that Austin had secretly made for her, covered in her favourite flowers, red roses.

After more pictures were taken it was time for the music to start, they started it off as man and wife, followed by the other. Then it was time for father and daughter to have their dance. He held her, telling her if Austin ever hurt her she was to tell him and he'd do something about it, making her smile.

Near the end of the evening, her father and mother walked up to them as they were kissing while they danced.

"It's time for your surprise," Marcas said, breaking up the kiss. "We know you weren't planning on going on a honeymoon but your mother and I have booked you into the honeymoon suite for a weeks stay in Hawaii."

She looked at Austin and smiled. "Did you know about this?"

He shook his head. "No, I didn't."

"Well time to get a move on it, I've got a private plane waiting to take you there now so say your goodbyes to everyone."

"But we have nothing packed," she said, frowning.

Her mother smiled and hugged her. "It's all been taken care of, we had Helen pack all that you'll need," she said, pointing over at Austin's housekeeper who waved and gave them a huge smile.

"Thank you, mommy and daddy."

Austin kissed her mother's cheek and then shook her father's hand. "Thank you, sir, you have just made Blair very happy."

Still, with his grip on Austin's hand, he pulled him in closer. "Make sure she stays happy or you will have to deal with me."

After saying goodbye to the guests and changing their clothes they boarded the small plane. She snuggled up to him and feeling tired she went to sleep in his arms. He looked down at her as she slept, placing his hand on her stomach and felt a movement, his eyes lit up, it did everytime he felt the baby move.

When they arrived at their hotel suite he carried her over the threshold, gently laying her down on the bed. He slowly removed her clothes, kissing every inch of her until she begged him to stop teasing her. He gets out of the bed as he looks down at her naked body as he removed his own clothes.

"You are so beautiful," he said, still looking at her.

"Even with this baby bump?" she asked, even though she knew what he would say.

"You're even more beautiful with it, nothing sexier than a woman carrying her husband's child," he said as he got in and on top of her. He then showed her just how much he loved her.

They did do some sightseeing while they were there but he didn't want her overdoing it so they spent most of the time in bed, or on the beach, just relaxing.

"Are you happy baby?" he asked, pulling her into his arms.

"Austin, no one can be as happy as I am right now. I know we are going to have a wonderful marriage as long as we are always honest with each other, no more secrets."

"I'll never do anything to lose you again, no more secrets. Now, you have a choice to make, we can either go for a swim or stay here and I'll pleasure you until you beg me to stop. You will lay there on the bed and let me do everything, all you have to do is enjoy it and moan my name."

"Hum, let's see, a swim or the full Austin treatment. I think I'll go for the full body treatment," she said and squealed when he picked her up and lowered her onto the bed.
