THANK YOU to everybody who reviewed, favorited and added onto their alert list. You all have no idea how much it means to me (cliche, I know…) I want to know what you all would like to see from me in this story and hopefully I will be able to write it. Sorry for not updating frequently but school ended for me about a month ago and I am in the middle of planning my quinceanera (only one more month left) so I am so sorry. As I have been told… the last chapter was definitely not my best and hopefully this one is better written and hopefully twice as long. Soooooo, on with the story :P
Chapter Three
"Um….Surprise?"
"Jenny?" I heard my dad call out. I turned around to see them all staring at me with disbelief.
"Hi dad…" I said softly. I felt his arms engulf me in a hug. I leaned into the huf and wrapped my arms around him.
"What are you doing here?" I heard my brother, Dan, ask. I released my father and glances in my brother's direction.
"Yeah, Jenny. Why didn't you tell us you were coming back?" my dad inserted.
"Honestly? I didn't even know I was coming back until two days ago. Chuck called me up and said that he had arranged a flight for me and that I had no choice but to come back. So, I got on a plane the next day and arrived back to New York and took a train from there to Manhattan. Chuck picked me up from Grand Central Station a couple of hours ago." I finished with a laugh.
"Chuck? You barely called in the last three years and when you do, you call...Chuck?" Dan stated with distaste clear in his voice. Serena put her hand on his arm in an effort to calm him down. I looked at him with a glare.
"Be quiet, Dan. It's not like any of you ever made the effort to call me either." I glared. He shrunk back and looked at me with hurt in his eyes. "Look, I didn't come here to fight with you all and to be honest, I didn't even know any of you would be here." I finished with a glare directed towards Chuck and Blair. They looked at each other and smiled sheepishly.
"We thought it would be good for you to see everybody again." Blair claimed.
"Yeah…. a little heads up would have been nice, Blair." I snarked. I heard murmurs of agreement from the others. We all just stared at eachother for a while. Dorota coughed.
" So… Shall we all sit down?" I smiled warmly at her. She was always so polite. We (Blair, Chuck and I) walked over to the table and I watched as Chuck pulled out a seat for Blair before he sat down himself. I sat down at the table and looked up at the person across from me. As I looked into those familiar baby blue eyes, I recognized them to be Nate's. I shifted uncomfortably and attempted to turn away from his gaze.
"So, how was your stay in Europe Jenny? From what I hear, it was amazing." Lily said excitedly. I smiled at her gratefully.
"It was amazing. It was what I couldn't have ever imagined. The school I was going to was amazing and the friends that I made were so nice to me. During the weekends, Eric and I used to go to different places of the UK. We always went to different places so it wouldn't be the same thing over and over again."
"How long are you staying for?" Nate cut in. I turned to look at him.
"Honestly? I don't know…" I turned to look at Chuck and Blair, begging them to help me out here. Luckily, Chuck decided to come to my rescue.
"It was an open ticket. She can stay as long as she wants to or she can just lea-" "We didn't know when or if you wanted to go back to Europe or not, so we just paid for you to stay here as long as you want." Blair cut in. I pretended not to notice her emphasization on the word 'if'. I turned back to Nate and shrugged my shoulders.
"So, I guess as long as I want…." Nate and I kept our gazes interlocked until the waitress came to take our orders.
"So….. there is another reason why we wanted you all to come today." Blair started. We all looked at her curiously.
"You mean other to give us all a heart attack?" Dan snarked. Blair turned to glare at him.
"Shut it, Humphrey." She joined hands with her husband and turned to look at us. "We're pregnant…."
