A/N: This story idea came to me when I was with my mom and we were talking about Lifetime movies. It's that plot where the baby is left on the doorstep and the daddy has to take care of it. So, I decided to do it GG style, but this time Nate and Serena style-even though I LOVE Chair(: So, enjoy! Also, this is based on BOOKS! NOT TV SHOW!
Summary: 9 months ago Serena Van Der Woodsen became pregnant with Nate Archibald's child. Momma Woodsen doesn't want the baby anymore. Nate gets saddled down with the kid.
The Sun still Shines when I close my Eyes
Chapter One: The Arrival
2 ½ weeks ago…
Serena Van der Woodsen woke up to a huge kick. She was nine months pregnant with Nate Archibald's child, and living with her brother for the time being. She had been awaiting the arrival of the child for nine months. Not exactly anticipation, because the baby would be without a father, but none the less Serena was having a baby. Someone who would love her no matter what.
Her eyes were wide as she felt the water. Her water had indeed broken. She checked the clock. 12:03 in the morning on September 14th. She quickly arose, feeling shaken and walked as fast as she could to her brother's room across the hall.
"Eric!" she yelled shaking him.
Eric woke up with a start. "Serena?" he asked unsure.
"It's time."
That woke him up completely. He was out of his sheets in five seconds flat.
"Let's go. Do you have everything?" Serena nodded as she clutched her brother's hand.
"Ok…Let's get to the elevator, in a cab and to the hospital." Eric said, making it sound simple."
Present time…
Serena was tired. She had given birth to a healthy baby boy, whom she had named Lucas Benjamin Archibald. She had put Nate's name on the birth certificate, and given him his last name. Eric had suggested numerous times to give Nate a call and tell him about his son, but every time Serena picked up the phone, she pretended to hear Lucas cry or her cell phone ring.
Serena could barely handle the baby boy anymore. She was tired. Lucas was a handful, and her brother never really took an interest in changing his diaper at 4:00 in the morning.
"Shh, Lucas, shh baby boy." she cooed to her son.
Lucas had caught a cold sometime, being on 2 weeks old, Serena had done her best to cope with her sick child.
Nate Archibald hadn't seen his girlfriend in nine and a half months. So, assuming that it had been that long without a text or phone call he had assumed they were through, and had become interested in three girls he had seen numerous times at the local club. Their names were Ashley, Cassie, and Marley. All beautiful, he couldn't chose one, so he chose all three.
He had been staying in one of Chuck Bass's hotel rooms, for a discount, thanks to Chuck who had decided to be generous.
Chuck and Blair had been going steady for about a year, and Chuck (amazingly) hadn't screwed up (really bad) so far.
It was a Thursday when Nate's doorbell rang. He had been watching a video on Youtube on how to beat level 16 of Mafia Wars, but he paused it and jogged over to the door. He looked out the peephole seeing nothing. He assumed it was a prank doorbell ring, and so he went back to his laptop.
About an hour later his phone rang.
Blair Waldorf is calling you…
He hit the answer call and said, "Hello?"
"Hey, it's Blair." Blair said chirpily.
"I know. Amazing how caller ID works, huh?" he asked sarcastically.
"Ha ha. Anyways, Chuck and I are having dinner tonight with mother and father-you're welcome to join."
"What's for dinner?" Nate asked suspiciously.
"Shrimp Scampi." Blair answered immediately.
"Sure. I'll be there…what time?"
"Umm, how about 6?" Blair asked.
"Sounds fine."
They hung up, without goodbyes, both knowing that the conversation was over.
As he was walking back to the couch he heard what sounded like a baby crying. He shook the thought out of his head, but the crying continued. He decided to investigate.
He slipped on a pair of Nike slip on sandals and opened the door. He looked down and he saw it.
It being a baby. He crouched down and looked at it.
The baby's cheeks were tear stained, and it was so tiny. There was a note on the blanket that was covering him up.
Dear Nate,
This is Lucas Benjamin Archibald. He's yours. He's 2 ½ weeks old. He has a cold. Please take good care of him. I'm sorry, but I couldn't.
-Serena Van der Woodsen.
Nate was in shock. He looked down at the baby and he picked the note back up. He then picked the baby carrier up, with the baby inside. There was also a few packages of diapers and a few suitcases of clothes, and baby formula, along with a pink folder, like the ones they have in lawyers offices with all of the stuff they need to present in court.
He went back and got everything inside, then put the back of his hand on Lucas's forehead. It was burning.
He went into his bathroom and looked through the wooden cupboard until he found the thermometer. He unwrapped it and took it back to the baby. He stuck it in his ear and looked at the temperature; 101.
Nate sighed and threw the thermometer down and sat on the couch. He picked up the folder and looked inside. He picked out the first piece of paper he saw.
Paternity Test:
Lucas Benjamin Archibald
Father: Nathanial Archibald
Mother: Serena Van der Woodsen
Nathanial and Serena are the biological parents of Lucas.
There were a whole string of papers about the baby-the birth certificate:
Lucas Benjamin Archibald
6 lbs. 4 ounces 12 inches long
Nathanial Archibald-biological father
Serena Van der Woodsen-biological mother
Birthdate: September 14th, 2011
Nate sighed as he picked his Blackberry up from the coffee table. He selected Blair and waited as it rung. It finally went to voicemail.
"Blair, I won't be coming for dinner tonight. Bye."
Hey people!
GG here for the first time in a year! Wow, college is hard work! But, I'm on labor day vacation (I might've stretched it a bit), and I'm back in NY!
Sightings:
Since I've only been in NY a few weeks, I haven't seen much. I did see S at the Gym. She looked a bit heavier than she used to. I saw B, C, N, and J at Horoscopes for dinner one night, and the next morning B at Barney's picking up a scarf she had set aside just for herself. NY is busy-and I might have to stretch vacation a little longer…
