She was falling, eyes rolling to the back of her head, mouth opening and closing silently gasping for air. It was then that his world crashed, fallen just like she had. He had run to her, his heart beating a thousand miles a minute. He was scared, beyond scared...he had never felt so terrified in his entire life. Shouting her name he picked her up and on the way to his bed he repeated her name over and over "Blair..Blair...Blair!" Laying her down and shaking her a bit he managed to choke out "Come on...baby wake up" but no matter how much he pleaded she did not wake up. He ran to the bathroom, grabbed the first towel he saw, soaked it in cold water and ran back to her. He must've muttered a thousand times how sorry he was, choking on his words trying to contain his sobs. As he touched her face willing her to wake up he told her how much he loved her, how he couldn't live without her, he begged her not to leave him. It took fifteen minutes for her to regain consciousness, they were the longest fifteen minutes of his entire life.
"Chuck?" She tried again. He responded making a sound low in his throat, almost like one of agony. He stood up and turned away. He had no idea what was going on...and it was killing him. Was she sick? Did she have some sort of terminal disease? Was it his fault? Of course it was! He shouldn't have said what he did. He almost killed the love of his live.
Trying not to focus on the intense pain he felt in his chest upon that realization, he managed to answer her.
"I-I'm sorry..I'm so sorry"
Grabbing the arm that had been holding hers, she pulled him to her. He felt his heart break when he saw the tears that adorned her face. It was too late, she was not going to forgive him.
"Blair, I-I didn't mean what I said, I was angry and I felt like you were pushing me away..."
He was apologizing, and Blair realized that she had never loved him more. She couldn't help the tears that flowed from her eyes, she could've never imagined that Chuck could be so vulnerable. Trying to make him look into her eyes she tried to explain.
"N-No, I was never trying to push you away, I-" she took a deep breath, "l-love you."
Chuck felt his heart swell at her words, she loved him. After everything he had done and said to her she still loved him. Looking deep into her eyes and moving his lips right above hers kissing her sweetly he whispered
"I love you too".
She closed her eyes. He had said it, finally he had said the words. He continued
"And its because I love you that I want to know what's going on..." He saw her eyes shift in seconds from loving to nervous. She glanced away, not wanting to meet his gaze. Closing his eyes and letting out a harsh breath he whispered "Please, I need to know...are you sick?" Under his forceful gaze she responded reluctantly.
"N-No, I'm not sick, at least I wouldn't call it that"
She avoided meeting his eyes, which were seeking hers in an effort to understand what she meant. He positioned himself right above her and turned her head gently to meet his gaze. He had a concerned expression on his face.
"Well, then what is it?"
Lifting her hand to trace his left cheek, she moved her focus from his eyes to his lips and then back up again.
"I'm pregnant..."
