This story is inspired by something I saw on Tumblr – someone said that they would love a spinoff about Chair, Derena, Henry and, of course, Dorota. Since the finale renewed my faith in DS, I decided to take on the challenge of writing a story about these characters. So, these are the main characters you'll see in this fic, but others characters will make appearances as necessary. Plus, I got a plot bunny.

DISCLAIMER: Gossip Girl is not mine. I am simply a fan of the show wanting to continue its legacy. I make no profit off of this fanfiction.

Prologue

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide
forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
- Elizabeth Stone

Serena Humphrey let out a small sigh as she worked on the button of her jeans – they wouldn't close. She let go and accepted defeat, running a hand over the skin of her stomach. She was still small, but there was a small bulge by her bellybutton. She'd started to notice the change about a week ago. Hopefully, when she saw Blair today she could confirm or deny the suspicions she had.

She tugged down her blouse at the same time the door to the bedroom opened and her husband strode into the room. "Don't cover up on my account," Dan joked, walking over and wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I have to get dressed to go meet Blair," Serena replied, squirming out of Dan's grasp. Normally she'd let him distract her for a couple minutes, but right now wasn't really a good time. "Sorry,"

Dan shrugged. "It's alright; I'll get you later." Serena rolled her eyes here. "Besides, I need to get back to writing anyway,"

"Oh!" The blonde smiled. "Can I see?" Dan sucked in a breath, but Serena cut him off. "Please? Just one little peek?" She jutted out her lower lip in a way that she knew Dan would be unable to say no to.

It seemed Serena was correct, as Dan gave in. "You've got five seconds,"

Serena squealed and gave him a kiss before proceeding to the typewriter. She smiled and read aloud. "Life with the Golden Girl, by Daniel Humphrey,"

"It's nothing bad, I promise," Dan assured her.

"What's it about?" Serena asked, though she was pretty sure she already knew.

"Just this wonderful woman who I fell in love with and have been blissfully married to for about a year."

"Sounds like a really special girl,"

"Oh, she is."

Serena was still smiling as she stepped into the closet to change into a skirt. "I love you!" She called through the door.

Dan smirked. "Love you too!"

"Mommy!"

Blair Bass smiled as her four year old son Henry greeted her. He was sitting at the kitchen table next to his father, and Dorota was there, refilling Chuck's coffee. She never got tired of the sight of her family together in the mornings.

"Hey, baby," She said, sliding into a seat and kissing Henry, and then Chuck.

"Morning," He said against her lips.

"Morning," She replied with a smile.

"Coffee, Miss Blair?" Dorota asked.

"Just a little bit, Dorota, thank you," Blair replied. "I have brunch with Serena today," Her maid handed her a small cup and Blair took a sip. She wasn't really going to brunch, but she didn't think she'd be able to eat a full breakfast today; her stomach was already fluttering with butterflies.

"Done?" Chuck asked Henry, and the little boy nodded. Dorota quickly took both of their plates. "Come on, let's get you to school." Henry jumped up and Chuck took his little hand. Blair smiled, just watching how good Chuck was with their son.

"I'll see you when you get home," Blair said, and Chuck kissed her one more time.

"I love you,"

She smiled wider. "I love you too,"

"Do you need ride before I go, Miss Blair?" Dorota asked, starting the dishwasher before she left to go home for the morning.

"No thank you, Dorota," Blair said. "I think I'll walk this morning,"

Dorota raised her eyebrow but didn't question Blair's decision. "I see you later, Miss Blair,"

"Thank you, Dorota," And now, she had to wait for Serena.

"Hey," Serena said as she entered the Bass home. She held up the pharmacy bag in her hand. "I bought six, three for each of us."

"Good," Blair said, fishing three of the pregnancy test boxes out of the bag. "You can use the hall bathroom; I'll use mine and Chuck's. Meet back here when we're done?"

Serena nodded. "Sounds like a plan,"

Three minutes later, the two best friends were back on Chuck and Blair's couch, six pregnancy tests lied out in front of them, three of them Serena's, and three of them Blair's.

"Alright, I think it's about that time," Blair announced with a deep breath. "Do you want to look or should I?"

"How about we both do it?" Serena asked. She was so nervous. Dan and her had talked about having kids eventually, but she'd never thought it would happen so soon. But at least if she was pregnant, there was always the chance that she and Blair could take the journey together. She could see them now – taking prenatal yoga, flipping through baby name books and, of course, shopping for maternity clothes.

"That's a good idea," Blair agreed. "I'll look at yours and you look at mine, deal?"

"Deal," Serena affirmed. "On the count of three,"

"One," Blair said slowly.

"Two," Serena continued.

"Three!" They said it together, and then before they could process it they both grabbed the pregnancy tests at the opposite end of the table. Both of the women's eyes immediately went wide.

"S," Blair cried. "You're pregnant!"

"Oh my God, B, so are you!"

The two of them hugged. Serena couldn't believe this. She was carrying Dan Humphrey's child! It still hadn't sunk in. She was going to be a mother, and Dan was going to be a father, and oh my God they were having a baby. She smiled into Blair's shoulder. They were having a baby! This was so surreal and shocking and just plain amazing.

Blair laughed in disbelief. She was so excited to be having another child. Wait until Chuck finds out. She thought to herself. She remembered how he'd reacted the first time she'd been pregnant, and couldn't wait to see the excitement on his face when he found out. She also couldn't help but indulge in fantasies about what Henry's reaction to the news would be. He'd been asking when he'd be getting a little brother or sister for months now.

As the two friends pulled away, they both had one similar thought in their heads: This was going to be an interesting nine months.

Did you like it? Love it? Hate it? (Okay, I take that back, please don't tell me you hated it.) This is my first GG fanfiction and there are still a lot of episodes of the series I haven't seen, so I'm very nervous. Do you want me to continue?

In the next chapter, B will tell C she's pregnant and S will tell D. If you have any recommendations for how they'll go about doing this, you can leave it in the reviews. Hope you enjoyed this, more or less!
