CHAPTER 1
Chuck stood in the doorway of his bedroom, leaning against the doorframe and gazed over at his beautiful sleeping wife Blaire, her black chemise night dress hung perfectly on her small and elegant frame. She blackly/brown hair lay soft against the pillow and she slept with a light hearted smile gently caressing her face. Chuck found it difficult often to take his eyes off her, after everything he had been though he finally had her, the girl of his dreams. Blaire's eyes opened slightly and gazed up at him,
"Chuck what the f**k are you doing?" Blaire asked half asleep
"Well my dear when you sleep it is just so beautiful, that I find it difficult not to watch you " Chuck said with a smile as he stood up form the leaning position he had taken on the frame and made his way towards the bed.
Blaire sat up and pulled the covers up to her chest while she watched Chuck advancing towards her, his sexy swagger and his upper body on show for her. She suddenly let her eyes slip down to the scratches around his torso, they were a reminder of last night's passion, she had made them on his body while passionately screaming his name. Her life felt so perfect now, she was glad she had got rid of that horrid Marcus and his wicked ways. Chuck now clambered up the bed towards Blaire's face and pouted his lips into a kiss shape; Blaire leaned in to kiss him and pulled him onto her.
At the Humphrey's house things weren't as perfect as they could possibly be; Dan and Serena were in the middle of another shouting match about Serena's behaviour. Dan had grown up in a different background type to Serena's and didn't understand her desperate need to party all the time. He felt that she was only interested in him when she needed comforting and nothing else. Their shouting had woken up their five year old daughter Victoria, she waddled into the kitchen where they were arguing rubbing her eyes and yawning,
"Mommy, why are you arguing with daddy again?" Victoria asked in a tired voice
"It's alright darling; mommy just doesn't understand that there is a time to grownup and act your age!" Dan replied in a p****ed off voice
Serena grasped the kitchen counter and looked at her husband with tired eyes, she knew that she was heading down a spiral of horror but she didn't want to admit she had a problem with drinking and partying.
"Arrrgh, I'm off to bed, it's like living with my mother except she was never there and I didn't have to put up with her most of the time!" Serena said angrily
Nate was heading off to work as Vanessa bustled around the living room hovering loudly, Nate, since loosing all of his money, had adjusted well to living in Brookline, he secretly was pleased to escape the busy and hectic life of the upper east side. He didn't envy Serena, Blaire and Chuck, he was happy living in his little house and with his perfect wife. He approached Vanessa and placed his hands on her hips before spinning her around and evolving her in a passionate kiss, he was deeply in love with Vanessa and love showing it.
"WOW, what did I do to deserve a perfect man like you hey?" Vanessa asked full of giggles, since her and Nate had gotten to together she had woken each day with a smile on her face.
"Well you must have wished upon a star as that's what I did to get you babe," Nate answered smiling
"Aww off to work with you and your corny lines and I'll see you later!" Vanessa said with a smile as Nate approached the door.
Vanessa continued to vacuum the floor while she drifted off into a day dream about the baby which she now carried that would bless them soon. She couldn't believe her luck that day that Nate had asked her to marry him and now while she gazed at there wedding photo perched on the mantle piece, she remember how hard things had been for Nate before then and everything he had done to protect his father, The Captain.
Jenny was already at work, running her fashion empire and watching over her interns. She had a sudden flash back to when she had been an intern for Mrs Waldorf and how she had made it big after then. She then thought of her gorgeous husband who would soon be dropping by on his way to work, he had at last 3 months after coming out he was gay realised in fact he wasn't and had fallen for Jenny, or little J as she was known back then. They had been happily married for two years now and enjoyed everyday of it; they both had what they wanted, each other and great careers. Jenny's eyes flashed towards the door as it swung open and there stood in a beige trench coat was Eric, his arms were open wide and Jenny found herself running towards him, her heels clacking on the marble floor. Eric had bought her this place as a wedding gift and had it all done out to fit her taste.
"Hey Hunny, I thought I'd just drop by in my way in and see how my gorgeous wife was doing with her collection. " Eric said coolly
"Aww baby, that is so sweet, well I'm swamped at the moment, we have five weeks to complete it before the big reveal and all I have is eight designs complete out of the 14! But I'm confident we can complete the task!" Jenny said excitedly "I'm so happy baby, we can meet for lunch later if your free as well?"
"Yerh sure Hunny, ill make sure it happens, I Love you" Eric said and kissed his wife on the cheek
"I Love you too" Jenny replied
Eric turned around and walked back out of the door and dived into his limo, Jenny waved him off and then walked back into her studio. The name of her fashion brand was Little J, and the fall fashion show was only 5 weeks away so she had to get a move on if she wanted everything finished by then. Suddenly her phone was ringing, her assistant answered it,
"Mrs Van Der Woodsen, your brother is on line 1 for you would you like me to patch him through to your office?" The assistant asked professionally
"Yerh thanks Amanda, ill take the call in there" Jenny replied with a smug look
It's the circle of life, but often if you start off at the bottom you don't make it too the top but for little J she had powered over Amanda when her daddy's oil company in Dubai when bust and she was left as a poor little broke girl. Jenny had taken her in even after all the horrid thing she had done to Jenny; well Jenny loved to show off these days especially to people who treated her bad before. Life's a Bitch hey Amanda?
Back at the Bass house, the phone rang and made Blaire push Chuck off her, Chuck sat back and climbed off his wife as Blaire picked up the phone.
"The Bass residence, Blaire Bass Speaking, How may I help?"
Chuck got off the bed and walked over to the bay window stretching and allowing anyone in the passing street below to see his well maintained torso. Blaire clutched the phone to her ear and played with the bed covers; she looked like a movie star the way she was sat there, Chuck continued to look out of the window and then headed towards the balcony on the other side of the room taking a cigar from the bedside table and lighting up on the balcony. He took some drag facing out onto the street before turning to watch Blaire on the phone. While Chuck had been doing all this Blaire had been listening to Serena on the other end of the phone moaning and complaining about Dan.
"Oh My God Blaire, Living with Dan is so difficult, he doesn't understand that I need to go out and live how I have always lived. Just cause I married doesn't mean I have to change everything about myself does it?" Serena screeched in a high pitched voice
"Oh Darling, yes it does, especially as you have a daughter now, Victoria needs you to be a mother not a drunken teen!" Blaire replied very high horsely
"Oh I know your right Blaire but I hate it when Dan's right, I know Victoria needs me to be her mother as mine never was but I don't know am I really mothering material?" Serena asked
"Well it's too late to ask that now isn't it? I don't know you and Dan ever got married you don't get on very well!" Blaire replied as she watched Chuck walked out to the balcony
"Yerh I don't know either, suppose I was pregnant and didn't want to be a single mom, seemed the best way out was to marry Dan, god knows if she's even her father to be honest with you. I wasn't just sleeping with Dan when I feel pregnant was I? I had that lacrosse player as well." Serena said in a lower voice
"Oh My God Serena, you mean you never got Victoria tested to see whose child she was?!" Blaire asked in a shriek
"Well no, I couldn't!" Serena said complacently
"Okay, well I have to get ready for work now, so ill speak to you later Serena and maybe you should really consider you life with Mr Humphrey and your reasons for the marriage" Blaire said acting coolly
"Yerh, see you later Blaire" Serena said hanging up the phone
Blaire returned the handset to the station and looked at her husband who was staring at her from the balcony. Chuck raised the cigar to his mouth and turned to face the street where he threw it onto the street below; He then swaggered back towards Blaire and kissed her cheek before heading into the bathroom. Blaire sat in bed, gave a big sigh and then got up and wandered into the kitchen where Zelda her housekeeper was squeezing fresh orange juice for breakfast.
Serena snapped her cell phone shut and gazed into the mirror on her dressing table, she looked awful. Her eyes were all sunken and her hair was limp and sticking to her forehead in certain places. Her clothes sank of alcohol and cigar smoke and she didn't look much like anyone's mom. A horrid sick feeling suddenly rose in her gut and she run into the bathroom, clutched the toilet and threw up all of last night's alcohol and what little food she had eaten the day before. Serena stood up and wiped her mouth on a nearby towel and then threw it into the hamper, she rinsed out her mouth and then headed back to the bedroom where she flopped onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. Last night suddenly played through her head and she realised that she had made an a**e of herself again, she knew she needed to change her ways. Suddenly the bedroom door swung open and Dan walked in and grabbed a tan leather jacket from the cupboard and gave Serena a look of disgust.
"Dan, look I'm sorry, I really am" Serena said sincerely
"You say that everyday, I never believe you, look I have something I have to do, and I'll see you later" Dan said and walked out of the room closing the door behind him
Serena twisted around and then flopped onto the bed only to rise quickly again and head for the bathroom to throw up. Dan stood on the other side of the door listening to Serena throwing up before he placed Victoria's jacket onto her and taking her hand leading her to the front door.
"Victoria, Hunny we are gonna go visit your Auntie Jenny and she is going to look after you while Daddy goes to sort some stuff out" Dan said smiling at his daughter
"Okay Daddy" Victoria said clasping her fathers hand
Dan lead her through the font door and down the steps towards the car that was waiting for them, he turned and looked up to his bedroom window where Serena was now stood looking down on him and Victoria, she gave him a wave but all he did was turn away and get into the car.
"Baker Street offices please" Dan told the driver while Victoria played with her doll.
Jenny was busily arranging and area for Victoria to play in when Dan and Victoria arrived at her office. She ran to meet them at the door and opened it up. She hugged Dan and Victoria,
"Thanks for doing this Jenny, I really appreciate it, I know how busy you are but I need to get the ball rolling, I don't want Victoria growing up like this" Dan said with a heavy heart
"I'd do anything for you Dan, and I love spending time with Victoria also gives me an excuse to not have to be so busy, she can have lunch with me and Eric later as well. She deserves better than what she is getting" Jenny replied as she played with Victoria's soft curly blonde hair
"Auntie Jenny, can I go play with my dolly in your office?" Victoria asked with a sweet voice
"Yerh sure Hunny," Jenny said with a butter wouldn't melt voice.
Jenny and Dan watched as Victoria ran into the office,
"So how you gonna sort this?" Jenny asked concerned
"Well I'm gonna go see our lawyer and then organise to get sole custody and a divorce I feel, I know it sounds harsh but Serena rolls in at 7:30 am every morning smelling of alcohol and I don't where she has been the night before nor do I know if she is even being faithful" Dan said
"Well good luck with that, she doesn't deserve to watch her mum doing these stupid things" Jenny said sadly
"Yerh, well, anyway I have to go or I'll miss my appointment" Dan said and kissed Jenny on the cheek before diving back into the car and taking off
Jenny headed back towards her office and her beautiful niece, she remembered back to the day that Victoria was born and how different things had been. Dan and Serena had never been happy but they thought that maybe having Victoria would make all those problems disappear. Everyone told Dan he was being stupid but he wasn't gonna listen, he had always been in love with Serena and now he thought he had a way of keeping her forever. Jenny walked into her office to see Amanda sitting on the floor with Victoria playing with a doll, Victoria's laugh rang though the office and made Jenny smile, she sounded so much like Dan. Dan hadn't laughed for a while and this made Jenny rather upset as she missed her brother so much.
"Hey Auntie Jenny come play with me" Victoria said with a beaming smile
"Sure, why not, hey why don't we make some little clothes for you dolly?" Jenny asked eagerly
Amanda stood up and walked towards the door heading back to her desk,
"Thanks Amanda," Jenny said as she passed by
"Well Shall we Vicky?" Jenny asked persistently
"Yerh sounds like fun, I want to make my dolly a new dress" Victoria said excitedly
As Dan sped around the corner away from his sister's office, he opened up his cell phone and rang Vanessa. She had always been there for him in times of trouble, even now that she was married to Nate and had a life of her own she was still his best friend.
Vanessa's phone began to ring; she switched off the vacuum and answered it,
"Hello Vanessa Archibald speaking" She answered
"Hey Vanessa, its Dan, erm I need your opinion on something important, are you busy?" Dan asked unsure
"No, what's up?" Vanessa asked happily
"Well I'm heading off to see my lawyer right now about getting a divorce and sol custody of Victoria but do you think that's right?" Dan asked with a sigh
"To be completely honest with you, yerh I do, Serena and you having been fighting before and after you got married and even had Victoria. Serena has a drinking and partying problem even if she won't admit that she has one. Victoria has the right to grow up in a happy house not one where there is fighting and drunkenness" Vanessa answered bluntly
"Yerh I needed to hear someone tell me that, thank Vanessa, well I have to go as I'm about to go into the office, see you later" Dan ended the call
Vanessa replaced the handset and finished up with the vacuuming before heading out to meet up with her sister who was visiting while on a break from touring with her band.
Dan stepped out of the car and headed up towards the office doors and pressed the button on the speaker box for his lawyer.
"Andrew Crawford's office, how can I help you?" the assistant's voice crackled over the speaker
"Daniel Humphrey, 10:30 appointment with Mr Crawford" Dan replied
"Okay" The voice replied and the door buzzed open
Dan headed into the office with doubts but also anticipation to end the horrid relationship between him and Serena.
