Hey guys! thanks for the awesome responses on my first fanfiction. This is my next one... and it's going to be a two part. I know this chapter is really short, but I'm just getting in the swing of things so don't be too harsh(: Take my poll for me, I need more ideas!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Gossip Girl. If I did, I would be cast as Blair

Secret

He got the call on January 25th. It was a cold, snowy, slushy day. The weather outside reflected his feelings inside. It was Serena.

"Chuck, she's going into labor".

"Why hello to you too sister… and why, exactly am I of all people being notified of this wonderful event taking place?"

Serena was silent for a beat. "The pain was making her a little hysterical… and she kept asking for you. Saying things like 'gone on too long' and 'why why why' and 'need to tell him'. Chuck, she desperately wants to see you".

"Okay… I get off work at around 7. I'll head over to the hospital then," replied Chuck apprehensively.

"Thanks Chuck, see you later". She hung up, presumably to go be with Blair.

Chuck was confused and sad. Well, he had been for the past year, really. When he had found out that Blair was pregnant, he hoped with all of his measly black heart (though when it came to her his heart was perfect) that the baby was his. But she stayed with Louis, so he thought that the baby had to be Louis'. Now Blair, on the day of going into labor, wants to see him. They had not seen each other, really since they both showed up to Serena's place in LA. They hadn't known the other would be there. It was a little awkward to say the least. He can remember that day clearly…

"Chuck?" Her voice sounded surprised, and by her raised eyebrows, her face looked it too.

"Hi Blair… I didn't know that you would be here. Otherwise I wouldn't have come…"

"Nonsense, we can be in the same house right?" She gave a nervous laugh. "Besides, I kind of need to talk to you about something"

Immediately suspicious, Chuck said, "What?"

"I just wanted you to hear it from me first… I'm pregnant".

Chuck could do nothing but gape. "You're completely sure?"

"Yes, I've gone to a doctor and everything." Blair was having a hard time meeting his eyes. Suddenly, she couldn't bear to be in his presence, and walked away abruptly. Leaving him bewildered and depressed.

The rest of the visit had been uncomfortable. Louis wasn't all too happy having Blair and Chuck together, though he was always polite. He kept a hand on Blair's lower back whenever they were around Chuck. He could tell that Louis was protective of his and Blair's relationship, even though he had no intention of running it.

'Especially after that bombshell', he thought glumly.

Now, however, maybe their relationship was not as perfect as Blair projected. They had seen each other at various New York outings, and Chuck had been invited to their wedding (he didn't go, but got drunk instead). Blair Grimaldi had always seemed happy… but possibly there was a crack in the perfect polished veneer that was Blair&Louis. He could only hope.
