After learning that Blair's pregnant, dan can't help but worry about her. It might not be his child inside her belly, but he knows for sure that sooner or later her heart will be broken again. he could still remember the night he secretly went inside Blair's room and searched for the result of the child's paternity test. CHARLES BASS it says, but when blair saw chuck ditching a dog on the streets, she got scared that fatherhood is not on chuck's wishes. She lied and told louis that it was his, since she was about to marry him anyway.
Soon, he and blair became non-friends again after his book got published and became one of the bestselling books in Manhattan. He tried talking to her but all he got were slammed doors, voicemail and a slap.
It was weeks before blair finally let him in again when she got no one else to talk to.
"I know this looks like I come here in brooklyn whenever I got nowhere else to go, you may think that I'm just using you...I don't care what you think" her eyes staring at her hands. She seems bothered by something and he knows what she needed is a friend to talk to.
"what happened?" he asks. "that's it?" her eyes now fixed with his. She looks confused . "no youre-not-allowed here speeches?"
"do you want me to make a speech like that?" he went closer to her and held her hand. "I told you before that when you're starting to lose everything, you'll still have me" he smiled and the end of his sentence and she smiled back. god how he misses her smiles and her laughs.
"I need a friend" she lowered her head and walk towards the couch. "Can I sit?"
"Consider the loft your second home, feel free" he smiled. he turned back and went to the kitchen and poured some coffee on his mug. "Want some coffee while we chat, waldorf?"
"Thanks but it's bad for the baby" she put ther hands on top of her stomach and held it in circular motions. "louis is becoming distant this past few days" she continued.
"is it because of the book?" he sat next to blair and held her hand "I didn't mean it blair. I'm really sorry"
she gave him a weak smile and started "I don't think it's about your book anymore. I just don't know what it is"
"Is it about who the father is?" blair's eyes widened and was about to say something but dan interrupted her "I know. You don't have to hide it from me that it's chucks" tears suddenly fall from blairs eyes and sobbe
"how did you know? I tried my best to hide it from anyone. No one was supposed to know"
"I saw the results. I'm sorry if I did that, I'm just worried about you so much"
"You're worried? Why?" she asked. He wanted to tell her because he liked her but he can't. He knew that will just add her burden and all she needed right now is a friend.
"Because you're my friend" those are the only words he could say. she leans to his shoulders and cried for hours. all he did was brush her hair and hug her.
The next few days. blair consistently spends time at the loft. Louis is back at monaco to finish certain details about their wedding and left blair alone in ues. She needed to finish her internship before the wedding.
"Humphrey, want to watch, I got two free tickets on phatoms broadway" blair smiled. she's holding the tickets on her right hand waving it on dans face.
"I can't. I have an intervew tomorrow at 8, so I have to sleep early.. you know beauty sleep from your side of dictionary" he smiled. He led her to his door "You better go home, It's bad for you to stay out late"
"Your so caring humphrey. Sometimes I'm confused why Serena always chooses to let you go." she gave weak smile. With those words, dan's heart started to pump fast. It will be one in a million chances that blair herself will say those words to him. he just stared and blushed infront of her.
"Why are you blushing?" she asked. her eyebrows crooked and comfused.
"Well no! I should have recorded what you just said for blackmail you know. that's kinda unlikd blair waldorf." he manage to spit out. he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her softly out the loft "go on princess. It's getting late" Blair turned back to him, hands on her waist and pouted her lips
" Come on humphrey, have a date with me." she said "this will be the last. louis will be back tomorrow night and I won't have time anymore"
"did you just said DATE? like a date date?" he devilishly asked. he wanted her to say yes, he wanted her to tell him that he still got a chance.
blair's eyes moved from left to right avoiding dan's gaze. then she stamerred
"It's a friendly date cabbage patch! Don't think highly about yourself," she grabbed his arms and pulled him out of the loft
"Come on it's going to start in an hour"
Slightly hurt dan pointed out "Okay okay! I'll just get my jacket, you surely want to date me waldorf"
The night went completely normal, they exchange hurtful words, laughed, teased each other with some awkward stolen glances from each other. Dan walked her home and left with a smile and wave.
When she smiled back and shouted "Goodnight daniel. thank you and i mean it" that's when dan realize that this is really their last date. In a month time she will be married and leave manhattan. He wanted to tell her he liked her, he wanted to kiss her and tell her not to marry the prince, but he knew that when he did that, he will completely lose blair, she only needed him as a friend... a friend nothing more.
He spent his week signing books from one bookstore to another, glancing to his phone every now and then looking for news about blair and her prince. He would text her occasionally and she will reply simple and short messages. His book got well known and Serena asked him for the movie rights of the book, as for friendship sake he obliged and agreed.
"I know i overreacted when I read this book but I guess I have to accept that dylan hunter really sees the bad side of me while dan humphrey sees the good side of me right?" serena told him while they walk at the streets of manhattan drinking coffee. They're heading towards Serena's office to meet with her boss about the soon and upcoming inside movie.
"Does blair know that this book's gonna be a movie soon?" dan asked serena. he wanted to make sure that it's going to be okay with her before he completely signs the contract.
"I thought you two are now friends? I thought you told her that's why I didn't brought it up to her anymore" she answered. She looked at him curiously "Want to ask her first before we head to the office?"
"yeah. I think i'll do that, most of the parts of the book was about her that's why I think I owe her permission" he took his phone from his pocket and was about to dial blair's number when his phone rang. BLAIR calling...
"waldorf, youre just in time i need to ask you something" he pointed out immediately.
"Dan, come over, please I need you!" he could hear that she's scared of something, She's panting and crying.
"hey what's wrong?" he moved away from serena to avoid her listening to their conversation.
"louis knows. louis knows." blair keeps saying those words over and over.
"Blair calm down, he knows what?" but blair keeps repeating those words to him, crying "for heavens sake blair what does he know?"
"chuck. baby." she utterred. With those two words, Dan's eyes widened and walked to call a cab.
"where are you? I'm coming"
"penthouse, please save me." she pleaded. he hunged up the phone and ran after a cab when serena shouted
"Dan hey! Where are you going? we have a meeting!"
"I can't! I have an emergency. reschedule it will you" he shouted back and opened the door.
Serena ran after him and knocked at the cabs window. "what the hell happened?" she looked so pissed.
"Can't explain, just cancel it and I'll call you" he told he cab driver where to go and asked him to drive faster. this is the first time he got so scared. It was unusual for blair to ask him to save her, that means she has lost everything. He reached the penthouse after 15 mins and rode the elevator. As he reached blairs home, he saw scattered broken pieces of vases and could hear louis shouting.
"Open the door blair!"
"what's happening?" dan rushed upstairs and saw louis knocking at blairs door furiously
"What are you doing here? Did she call you? Are you the baby's father?" louis grabbed his collar and pushed him to the wall. Dan shoved louis hand off him and shouted
"what the hell are you talking about? She called me asking for help because I'm her friend, and I'm not the father, you are"
"Lies!" louis shouted he turned back and threw another vase at the floor.
" I went to a hospital at monaco and got my annual check up, there I learned that I can't bear a child, so it's either the doctor was wrong or blair cheated on me!" he went back knocking on blair's door.
"Open this god damn door or I'll bring it down!" he shouted again. His eyes full of anger and Dan could sense that he's ready to kill anyone. He pulled louis away from the door but without warning, louis fist shot right to his face. He fell and louis kept punching him keeping him down.
"You knew didn't you!" he threw another punch again. No matter how hard dan tried to fight back, he can't cause the beating keeps coming in. Then blair's door flew open and she stared right at dan, whose face now full of blood.
"Oh my god, what did you do?" she pushed louis away and help dan get up "are you okay? I'm sorry, this shouldn't have happened" she turned to Louis, wipes her tears and shouted "Dan knows nothing, I called him because he's my bestfriend, let him go, put your anger to me instead" she looked at dan and grabbed his arms pushing him towards the stairs "Go humphrey, just go."
"No!" dan turned to her, he went in between blair and louis and turned to the prince "She doesn't deserve you. You're worst than chuck, atleast chuck accepts defeat and let her go without a fight. I knew everything, and thank goodness you're not the child's father for he might just turn to someone like you, a man who can't stand on his own feet and fight for the girl he loves against his mother!" he shotted, after his sentence, louis fist shot to his face one more time. He was pushed to the wall and was about to be punched one more time, when blair pulled louis away from him but hr shoved her off and pushed her to the floor. Dan punched louis and pushed him to the floor wanting to punch again when blair shouted
"oh my! Dan help! dan!" he looked at poor blair who was now sitting on he floor, hands full of blood, he saw her dress full of blood.
"Blair you're bleeding, you're baby, we need to get you to the hospital" he fastly went to blairs side and carried her
"You better wish nothing bad happens to her or I'll kill you louis, gk back to your palance and don't evrr come back!" dan finished. He ran as fast as he could downstairs, carrying the exhausted lady. " hang in there waldorf, I'm going to save you"
She weakly smiled and touches his face, "I'll still have you right?" then her eyes closed and she lost consciousnes.
"You'll always have me blair, wake up!" he called a cab and told he driver to hurry to the hospital. "you'll never lose me blair,." he hugged her and didn't let go the whole ride.
