Serena life was going really well in London. Anna was in day care while Serena was working full time at as a waitress to support for her. They both lived in a one bedroom apartment about 20 minutes out of the city. One day Serena got a call from Anna'a day care saying that she wasn't waking up from her nap. Only a week later her nine month old daughter got diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer. She had been fighting it really well and even went through remission for four months after her second birthday. But just a few weeks ago the doctors noticed a new tumour. The doctors in london didn't have the money or knowledge to help her, s instead she flew to new york. Anna had had many rounds of chemo-therapy and radiation about a year ago. Her hair had grown back now and was blond and wavy like Serenas. Although she had bright blue eyes that looked a lot like Jenny's.

The plane flight had gone really well for Serena. Although Anna was almost 2 and a half, she never had a terrible 2's phase. Anna was a happy child, despite all the hospital visits and all the medicine. She was so excited to go on "holiday".

Three years in the future is set in season 5. Blair and chucks accident is real and that is how they end up meeting Serena. (In the hospital)

Serena had been in New York for 3 months now. Anna was having numerous surgeries to remove the tumour. After that she would be need bone-marrow and blood transfusions. Luckily Serena was a match and could be her donor. She had managed to stay un-rocognised round new york for the past months she was here. She rarely left the hospital room because she felt safer looking over anna.

Serena was getting really hungry and decided to go get lunch while the nurse was finishing up with Anna.

"Serena?"

Serena heard a familiar voice from behind her. Thats when she finally realised and turned around to face her.

"Mum... um.. what are you doing here."

"What am I doing here? I live here. You disappeared 3 years ago. You had no records on you. I had lost my 17 year old daughter and then she just never came back. We thought you were... dead.."

"I'm sorry mum... but why are you at hospital."

"Because your best friends got in a car crash."

It was just then that they were interrupted. "Serena, Anna's about to go into surgery and wants you to take her in."

"Wait who's Anna?" Lily stood there confused.

"I have to go.. bye mum."

"Serena! Who's Anna!"

Serena knew Anna got restless before surgery and that she needed to go. But all kept thinking was that it was now or never. She had to tell her mum at some point.

"She's my daughter."

At that point Serena just left. Lily stood there absolutely speechless.

"Lily there you are. Chucks woken up!." Rufus was shouting from the waiting area as she walked towards them. Behind him sat Dan, Nate and Blair.

"That's great news." Lily was still confused about everything with Serena. She wasn't really acting her self.

"What's wrong?" Blair asked confused.

"I just saw Serena... It was weird. she was just there and then we spoke and she just left."

"Are you sure it was her?" Dan joined the conversation

"A hundred Percent... She called me mum"

"Who does she think she is! Leaving for 3 years without an explanation and then just turning up and saying Hi." Blair was furious. Nate was trying to calm her down. She was starting to cause a scene in the hospital lobby.

"I don't think this was planned. She was just as shocked to see me as I was to see her." Lily was starting to cry. She was just shocked and nervous and confused all at the same time.

"On the bright side at least we know she home and safe." Rufus was confuting Lily. "Do you know why she's at the hospital."

Lily was so stunned that her daughter had returned that she hadn't even comprehended that she had a daughter. A daughter that was needing surgery.

"Um... She has a daughter... I think she's sick."

Dan just about collapsed right there and then.

"How old is she..." Dan was trying to work it out in his head.

"Im not sure I never met her. I think her names Anna." Lily needed to sit down, they all did.

They were talking about Serena so much that they had forgotten about Chuck. Eventually Blair went to go see him and explain the situation.

"He's talking fine. He reckons if you want to know about Serena then ask at the front desk." Blair had returned back to the waiting area.

"Will they give us private information?" Rufus had already thought about that and changed his mind.

"He says to get Lily to do it. They have the same last name. Just ask what room their staying in."

"Ok...I'll try. Lily walk up to the front desk with the cheesiest smile ever.

"Hello, My name is Lily Van Der Woodsen. My daughter Serena is here with her Daughter. I was just wondering what room that is?"

"Ok one second. Visiting hours don't actually start for another hour but you can take a seat in the waiting room."

"Thankyou." Lily was debating whether she actually wanted to go see her if they find out what room it is."

"Here it is.. Serena Van Der Woodsen, mother of Anna Elizabeth Humphrey. Neuroblastoma patient, age 2 years and 5 weeks. Room 215."

"Thank you very much." Lily turned to face the rest of them

"Did she just say... Anna Elizabeth Humphrey." Dan was about to faint again
