Serena and Dan's Apartment

Dan walked into the bedroom where Serena was lying down reading a magazine. "Hey babe could you call Vanessa and Blair and find out if they will still be coming to dinner tonight"

Serena looked up at him suspiciously and said "sure babe. But why do you want them to come so badly? What's this surprise you have that I can't hear about before everybody else?"

Dan just smiled and kissed her on the head before walking back into the kitchen saying "you'll find out in time dear. You'll find out in time"

Serena threw a pillow after him but missed and said "this is so not fair I'm your girlfriend for crying out loud I have first to hear privilege"

Dan smiled and shouted back "that's true for everything else but this. So just call Blair and Vanessa and tell them dinner will be served at 6:30."

"Fine but I'm going to get it out of you before then one way or another" Serena said and took up her phone and call Vanessa.

Dan just smiled, shakes his head and said "you can try but you'll never get it out of me until I decide to tell everybody at once"

Serena sighs and dials the number to Nate and Vanessa's apartment.

At the Empire penthouse.

"CHUCK!" Blair shouted

"What is it" chuck said while running into the room where Blair was sitting. "Is something wrong? Is the baby ok? Are you feeling any pains? Do you want something to eat?"

Blair sat laughing her head off as chuck rambled away.

Chuck stopped "what? What's so funny?"

"You" Blair replied

"Me?" chuck asked

"Yes you. Its funny how on edge you get every time I call you" Blair said

"Well you are 6 months pregnant with my child and I don't wish for anything to happen to neither my wife nor my child so I get on edge" chuck said. "Why were you calling me anyway?"

"I was lonely and I wanted to watch the TV but the remote is all the way over there and you were the one who said I shouldn't get up for anything" Blair said smiling

(Blair had been placed on partial bed rest after she had a near miscarriage in the last week of her fifth month. Since then chuck had insisted that she not do anything but eat, he even takes her to the bathroom.)

Chuck sighed "oh Blair the remote is right here beside you in the couch. Here you go. Would you like me to fluff your pillow too?"

Blair smiled "yes thank you. And oh could you get Ana to bring me a glass of milk, some raisin cookies and a slice of apple pie. Thank you. Oh and also some chocolate ice cream" just as chuck was about to leave her phone rang. "Hi S. how are you and cabbage patch boy doing…"

Back in Brooklyn

Serena: "hey B we are both fine. But how are you and my little niece/nephew doing. Is that brother of mine treating you guys right?"

Blair: "well he has to"

Serena laughed: "that's true anyways Dan wanted to kno if you guys were still coming to dinner tonight he says he has some sort of big announcement"

Blair: "some big announcement huh?"

Serena: "yes but I don't know what it is he won't tell me he says I'll just have to wait like everybody else"

Blair: "well that's not right. You know S I don't understand why you are with him in the first place."

Serena: "Because I love him B and he makes me happy."

Blair: "yeah sure."

Serena: "any way we'll se you around 6."

Blair: "yeah"

Serena: "ok. Bye"

Blair: "bye"

End of conversation.

"Blair says they are coming" Serena shouted to Dan who was still in the kitchen

"Ok that's good they really should be here for this" Dan shouted back

"So aren't you going to tell me what this surprise is about" Serena says now walking up behind Dan in the kitchen, wrapping her arms around his waist and kissing him on the neck.

"Nice try Serena but I'm still not telling you. Just be patient you will hear in a few hours" Dan said looking at his watch

"Fine" Serena replied and walked away into the bedroom saying "you better make sure this news is worth my wait or you won't like what I'll do to you"

"Trust me it will be well worth it. You won't be able to take your hands off me when you find out" Dan shouted as she walked away. "By the way did Nate and Vanessa say they were still coming?" Dan asked

"Yes they like chuck and Blair will be here at around six" Serena replied

"Ok great" Dan said and turned around to continue making dinner.

Serena turned and looked in his direction trying to figure out what could possibly the surprise as his book wasn't going to be ready for another few weeks or is it...
