In my story Eva didn't save Chuck and he was in a hospital in Prague, he had slept with Jenny in NY and S+B where living the good life in Paris.

I don't own any characters mentioned.

It was Friday night and Rufus Humphrey was coming home after a day at his Brooklyn gallery. His wife Lillian Bass Humphrey lived on the Upper East Side and was considered practically Upper East Side royalty. As Rufus was riding up the elevator he couldn't help but think about Chuck Bass. Chuck Bass is Lily's step-son and he slept with his little girl Jennifer Humphrey, he tried to shake the thought as he entered his penthouse. He was looking for Lily when he suddenly heard tears from their bedroom, Rufus walked in to see Lily in an emotional wreck and was crying and saying Chucks name.

"What's wrong, Lils" asked Rufus

Lily just gave him a sad look and said "That was a hospital in Prague, Charles is in the hospital, he was... shot"

"Lily how can you even care about how he is after what he did to Jenny?" Rufus had anger in his voice and he realised that he was yelling at his wife.

"How can you even talk about that? My son has just been shot and i have no idea about his condition" Lily was telling him as she was quickly packing the things that she would need for the next couple of weeks into a suitcase.

"Lils please promise me that you arn't going to see Chuck?" Rufus tried to give his wife a pleading look

Lily just stared at her husband "He is my son i should already be there, I have to go to him"

Rufus got Lilys hand and made her stare up at him "Lily if you go after Charles you and I are over, after what he did to Jenny neither you or I should be there to help him"

Lily just looked into Rufus' eyes and then saw that he meant it. If she went after Chuck then her and Rufus would be nonexistent, but if she stayed with Rufus she would never forgive herself for abandoning her child. Lily just looked down to the floor and said " Rufus you can't make me chose anything over my children, I love him and if you loved me then you wouldn't give me an ultimatum. But if you should know that i would always choose Charles." For that last part of the sentence she looked up at Rufus and said it to him confidently.

"Lily you realise this is the end for us, don't you?"

Lily nodded in agreement and was starting down the stairs when she turned around and said " Rufus i want you out of my house before i return home with my son, take what you brought with you and nothing that i or my money has bought for you" she then took off her wedding ring and gave it to him. "The papers will be drawn up this week." She then turned and headed down the stairs and got on the phone arranging for her limo and the Bass jet to take her to go and see her son.

Lily was walking through the hospital and all she could remember was when Bart died. She never felt like that before, it felt like something that she had loved, cared about and married was gone. She couldn't let the same thing happen to Charles. She sighed and then went to find the reception desk.

"My son is here, he is Charles Bass and i am his mother Lillian Bass. I want to make sure my son has the best care available here and I would like him to be able to seek medical attention from New York as soon as possible, how does 1 million US sound?" Lily just took out her check book and a pen to write the hospital a cheque so that her son could be cared for and he could be healthy. She then asked the nurse to show her to Chucks room. Lily was fighting back tears that where threatening to poor down her eyes every second she got closer to seeing Chuck. The nurse finally got to the room after what seems like an eternity, Lily dismissed her and tried to compose herself before seeing her son.
