A/N: Hello everyone! This is my first Gossip Girl fanfic... I hope you all like it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl, just the plot and my ideas :)
Six years… It had been six years since Little Jenny Humphrey fled New York and now she was back. She gulped, taking a deep breath as she stared out the plane window.
"Here goes nothing." She stood up slowly, taking the small hand of the child next to her before getting their carryon bags.
"Where are we going mommy?"
"We're going home."The little girl smiled up at her, holding her hand tightly as they climbed down the stairs towards a town car.
"Hi, Manhattan, Upper East Side." Jenny buckled in the little girl, leaning her head against the window and praying no one would notice her. Her long blond hair was curled up under a hat and she had large sunglasses on, knowing Gossip Girl would spot her before anyone else.
"Here you are."
"Thank you." She paid her fair, holding the little brunettes hand and having her bags taken up by the doorman.
"Thank you." Squeezing the girls hand she marched over to the elevator, hitting her old floor before shutting her eyes tightly.
"I can do this…" The apartment was full of noise as Jenny stepped off the elevator, the little girl tailing behind her.
"Who lives here?"
"Some people that I used to know… stay here for a minute okay?" The little girl nodded, smiling up at her as she went around the corner.
"Dad? Lily?" The room was silent as Jenny walked in and everyone stared at her in shock.
"Jenny?" She took off her hat and sunglasses, giving everyone a weak smile.
"Hey." Rufus jumped up, hugging her tightly and Lily laughed, squeezing her shoulder. Eric stared at her in confusion, they had stayed in touch but she never mentioned coming home. As Jenny looked around the table she froze, she hadn't expected everyone to be there but Chuck was sitting beside Dan, both exchanging a glance.
"Hi Chuck." She said it quietly, not quite meeting his eyes. He gave a warm smile, studying her.
"You look good Jenny." She thanked him, shrugging and glancing over her shoulder at her daughter.
"What made you decide to surprise us? Not that we mind of course, it's wonderful to see you." Lily studied Jenny slowly, seeing something was off.
"Okay I kind of have a surprise… please don't be mad." Jenny put down her bag, taking a deep breath before turning around.
"Charlotte come here honey." Everyone kind of froze, not sure what to expect. A little girl rounded the corner with dark brown hair, her light olive skin glowing as she glanced up at her mother. She studied the people around her and Dan looked to Chuck. The little girl, dressed entirely in purple, had dark brown eyes and his bone structure. She flashed a grin and Chuck felt light headed, leaning back in his seat that was his smile.
"Is this…" While it was clearly the little girl was a mini Chuck Bass she definitely had an attitude, which Rufus attributed to Jenny.
"Yeah… my daughter." Chuck shook his head, pushing back from the table and heading to the bathroom.
"We can discuss this later… for now where are you staying?" Jenny gave Lily a grateful smile and shrugged.
"Um I had the door man bring my bags up here… if that's okay just for the day until I go get a room at the Empire." Dan was silent, studying the little girl as she stared back at him.
"Nonsense you can stay here with her." Jenny paused before giving Lily a tight hug, laying her head on her shoulder.
"Thank you." She smiled, rubbing her back before glancing to Rufus who shrugged in confusion. Jenny turned around, seeing Charlotte standing next to Dan and staring at him, squinting as she studied him.
"She's scaring me Jen." She chuckled, walking over and scooping up her daughter.
"Some of the things she does… I don't know where she gets them from." Dan nodded, knowing exactly where they came from.
"Yeah."
"Char, this is your Uncle Dan, mommy's brother." As soon as she heard the words a smile burst onto her beautiful face and she reached out for him.
"Danny!" Dan took her slowly, sitting her on his lap as she giggled and took a strawberry off his plate.
"Well alright then." She grinned up at him as she ate happily and giggled. Jenny smiled, she never imagined bringing Charlotte to meet her family like this, but she knew she had to take a leap or she'd never do it.
"Dan can you actually watch her for a second? I need to talk to Dad and Lily." Dan stared at her uncertainly before nodding, scooping up the girl and walking to the living room.
"I am so sorry to surprise you like this… first thing I know I was getting ready to go to Milan fashion week and then I'm on a plane to New York…" Rufus studied her before hugging her tightly.
"You could have told me sweetie… I would have supported you… helped you." Jenny sighed, tears filling her eyes.
"I was just so scared… I was sixteen and pregnant… I didn't know what to do… Mom let me stay with her and then I finished school and got a job and ever since then it was go go go." He nodded, rubbing her back slowly. His baby was a mother… which made him a grandfather.
"It looks like you've done well… supporting her." She nodded, rubbing the tears away slowly.
"Yeah, luckily my boss had just had a baby when I started working there and was more than accommodating and we had a nursery the floor below where I worked so I could go check on her whenever I wanted to." He nodded, smiling at her.
"Well… We need to get moving then, we'll need somewhere for her to sleep tonight!" Jenny laughed and shook her head, smiling at Lily.
"It's fine, she can sleep in bed with me… she'll be weird around all the new things." Lily nodded, trying to grasp that Chuck was the father.
"Did… did he know?" Jenny glanced down, eyes watering again.
"Um no… but can we please talk about this later? I just want to get her things unpacked and settled." Lily smiled and nodded, taking Jenny's hand and walking down the hall with her.
"We need to talk." Chuck stopped her before she got far and she took a shaky breath, nodding and glancing over his shoulder.
"I know…"
"There's a benefit at the Empire tonight. Come alone." Jenny nodded as he grabbed his jacket and walked to the elevator, leaving without another words.
