As Serena rode the elevator up to Blair's penthouse, she hoped that the sadness in her girlfriend's voice was something that she could easily clear up. Serena could handle it if Eleanor had made a comment that had upset Blair, but the tone of Blair's voice seemed to hold much more than that.
"Hey, B…are you alright?" Serena asked softly as she sat down next to Blair on the edge of the bed.
The brunette's head was down; preventing Serena from seeing her face, but when she lifted her head the sight broke Serena's heart. Blair's deep brown eyes were swimming with tears and her cheeks were glistening with moisture.
"What's wrong!?" Serena asked her again, beginning to worry.
Blair didn't answer her. Instead she hid her face against Serena's neck and began sobbing brokenly. The blonde wrapped her arms around Blair, one hand around her waist and the other stroking her hair comfortingly.
"Ser-Serena," Blair gasped out, trying to speak but only getting as far as her girlfriend's name.
"Shh, I'm here. You're okay Blair, I'm right here," Serena whispered against chocolate tresses. Blair continued to cry and Serena continued to grow more worried about the smaller girl she was holding in her arms. Finally, after several long moments, Blair pulled away and looked up into Serena's dark blue eyes.
"S, before I say anything, I just want you to know I never meant for this to happen…" Blair whispered.
"Blair, whatever it is, you can tell me…I'm here for you, no matter what…" Serena whispered back and then placed a gentle kiss on Blair's forehead. "Now, you have to tell me what's going on, so I can help you."
After taking a deep, shaky breath Blair began speaking. "I slept with Chuck Bass, after my birthday party, but I swear, Serena, it was before I even knew-,"
Serena cut her off, placing her index finger against her soft, full lips. "B, if that's all your upset about, it's alright, it's in the past-."
"No! That's not all this is about…I…" Blair lowered her head. "I'm so sorry, S…I'm pregnant." She said, barely above a whisper, and the tears started anew.
Blair's comment had left Serena speechless, with a million thoughts running through her head. All she could do was embrace Blair in a tight hug and let her sob against her chest.
"B, are you sure?" Serena asked quietly, while holding Blair's face in her hands and looking into her sad eyes.
"Go look at that test on the bathroom sink! Those pink lines seem pretty fucking sure!" Blair spat out as she pulled away from Serena, stood up, and began to pace. She was upset, angry, and simply surprised that Serena wasn't just walking out the door at this very moment; it was too much to think about. Serena knew she had to keep Blair calm, but she was already on the verge of a classic, Waldorf meltdown.
"Blair…Blair?" Serena said quietly, trying not to upset Blair further, but the brunette wasn't even listening. "We need to set up an appointment, to be sure, before—"
"What is my mother going to say!? I can't wait for that conversation! Ugh, these types of things are not supposed to happen to me Serena!" Blair practically yelled. The tears had stopped and been replaced with maniacal ranting.
"What am I supposed to do about this!?" Blair questioned, turning to Serena with a bewildered look on her face, and desperation in her eyes.
"Come here, and I'm going to tell you…" Serena replied back calmly, holding her hands out to her girlfriend. Blair walked back to the bed and laced her fingers with Serena's, looking up to her.
"First, we have to make a doctor's appointment to be absolutely sure, and then we need to tell your mom and Chuck, they deserve to know, B…we'll figure the rest out from there." Serena stated quietly. Blair nodded her head silently and the blonde laid back, pulling Blair to lay down with her.
"I'm scared, S, I don't want to do this alone…" Blair whispered after a few moments of lying there listening to Serena's heartbeat. Serena knew how much it took for Blair to admit fear and defeat, and the statement made her own eyes fill with tears.
"Blair, don't ever believe for a second that you're in this alone, I'm here for you and I'm going to take care of you…now rest for awhile." Serena reassured her, even though her own thoughts were racing on how to handle the situation.
