Serena came down the stairs of Lily's apartment in her pyjamas rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Serena, Chuck and Scarlett were just going to stay at the palace but Lily insisted they stayed with her, so she could get to know her granddaughter better. As Serena reached the bottom she saw her baby brother sitting eating breakfast with Lily and Chuck. Serena grinned. She hadn't seen her little brother in 6 years. Eric turned and spotted Serena, the same smile mimicking hers.
"S!" Eric jumped up from the table and ran to hug Serena.
"Oh my Gosh E, I have missed you so much. Look at you; you're a proper man now. I bet your fighting away the men at Brown" Serena grinned as Eric chuckled.
"I have missed you so much too and I have only got eyes for one man" Eric grinned.
"Oh my gosh, who is the lucky guy. I have so much to tell you, so much to catch up on" Serena walked over to the table and sat down beside Chuck, grabbing a muffin and placing it on her plate.
"Well his name is Jamie Wilson and we have been together for nearly 2 years now. We met in our freshman year at Brown and got together a month or so before the end of our sophomore year. He makes me happy and mom loves him which is a bonus" Serena raised her eyebrow and looked at Lily who laughed.
"Well he is a lovely young chap and makes my son happy, of course I'm going to like him" Lily chuckled.
"Well you never said that when I brought women home" Chuck added. The whole table began to laugh.
"So S, what's been happening in your life? You were the one who was living it up in sunny LA. What's been happening? Mom told me she had a surprise but wouldn't tell me what" Serena swallowed a piece of blueberry muffin.
"Well…"
"Mommy" A little voice interrupted Serena. Eric looked shocked. Serena stood up and climbed to the top of the stairs where Scarlett was stood pyjamas clad behind the stair gate Lily had insisted on being delivered to the house. She was scared of her granddaughter waking up in the middle of the night in a strange environment and walking down the stairs and falling. Lily was overreacting but nothing was too good for her granddaughter.
"Hey baby, did you sleep well?" Serena opened the stair gate and picked up little Scarlett, kissing her on the head.
"Yeah it was good mommy. But Uncle Chuck snored a lot." Serena laughed at this. Scarlett had fallen asleep on Chuck's bed and neither Chuck, Serena nor Lily had the heart to wake the little girl and put her into her own bed. Serena pushed Scarlett's messy bed hair out of her eyes and carried her downstairs.
Eric was stood in the living room, watching his sister carry the little child down the stairs.
Serena stopped at the bottom and placed Scarlett on the floor, turning to the little girl.
"Scarlett I want you to meet your Uncle Eric, your mommy's brother. Eric, this is Scarlett. My daughter" Eric's jaw dropped. He could not believe he was an uncle. He could not believe his sister had created such a beautiful little girl.
"Oh MY Effing GOD!" Eric leaped and hugged both his sister and his niece. Serena and Scarlett began giggling as Eric squealed. Once Eric had let go of them both Scarlett tugged of Serena's pant leg.
"Mommy?" Scarlett looked up through her thick black eyelashes.
"Yeah baby?"
"Uncle Eric said a bad word. He has to put money in my pot" Serena and Eric laughed at this, even though Eric was confused. Serena turned to her brother to explain.
"When we were living back in LA, Chuck decided to teach her how to get money out of people in her favour. Only this back fired when she told us she wanted a pot to keep money in. Scarlett labelled the pot as a swear pot and told me and Chuck that every time we swore, we had to put a dollar in the pot. And Lets just say, when Chuck's hotel in Dubai caught on fire, Scarlett was able to buy the new Nintendo DS that weekend" All the adults laughed at this and Chuck grinned at the little girl and stuck his tongue out. Scarlett retaliated the same and ran over and jumped onto Chucks lap.
Serena and Eric sat down next to Lily and ate breakfast while telling each other stories about there time away from each other. By the way Eric spoke about Jamie, Serena knew she needed to see the boy that her brother as so madly in love with.
"Mommy are we going to the zoo today?" Scarlett turned to Serena with a strawberry in her hand.
"Umm not today baby. I thought we could hang out here with Grandma and Uncle Eric" Scarlett's face dropped at this. Uncle Chuck had told Scarlett all about New York and the times when he and her mom were children and used to go amazing places like Central Park Zoo.
"Well if your mommy doesn't mind how about I take you to the zoo. And then I can get to know my beautiful granddaughter better?" Lily turned to Serena.
Serena looked between her mother and daughter. Scarlett looked so excited with this idea and Serena knew how much she wanted to go. Lily also looked equally excited. Lily wanted to do a better job as a grandmother than what she did being a mother. Lily felt that she had let Serena down, and maybe if she was a better mother Serena wouldn't have felt the need to run off and not tell anyone about Scarlett. Serena was nervous about Scarlett being away from her in the place she grew up. Serena knew first hand how harsh people could be and she didn't want her own daughter being judged.
"Sure mom, that sounds great. How about it Scarlett?"
"YAY!" Scarlett jumped off her chair and ran towards the stairs.
"Come on Mommy, I need to get ready" Serena and Lily chuckled at the little girl and both stood up to go and get ready.
Dan came down the stairs, briefcase in hand and jacket in the other. Blair was sat at the table with a few papers scattered on the table and her laptop in front of her
"I don't know what time I'm going to be back but it shouldn't be too late. Probably about 10" Dan kissed Blair on the lips as he was about to leave.
"Oh okay then. How come you are working so late?" Blair turned around to face Dan properly.
"There is some event on . But I don't trust the employees to do the job properly so I am just going to do it myself. Do you want me to bring back food or are you going to eat on your own?"
"I think I am going out for dinner. There is a society dinner that my mom is making me go to so I think I am just going to run some errands and then go to that so I will get food"
"Well I need to go or I'm going to be late" Dan kissed Blair on the lips again.
"Have fun today"
"I'm sure I will have lots of fun with my mother. But thank you. Have a good day" Dan smiled as he reached the elevator.
"Love you b"
"Love you too"
Blair climbed the stairs and went into her and Dan's en-suite bathroom. Standing in front of her vanity, she reached out and opened up her makeup bag. Grabbing her contraceptive pill out of the bottom and popping one into her mouth, Blair looked at herself in the mirror. What sort of monster lies to man she is supposed to be in love with about being on the pill. Dan and Blair had decided that since they had been married a year that maybe it was time for Blair to come off the pill so they could have a child. Blair had agreed at the time. She wanted children but after everything that happened, she couldn't risk being hurt again. So while Dan had thought for the past 2 months that Blair was off the pill. Every morning Blair continued to take the pill. She just didn't have the heart to tell Dan that she didn't want children now or maybe ever. She knew he was excited to become a father and he would make a brilliant dad, but she just couldn't do it.
Serena was sat on the sofa watching 10 things I hate about you. The film was old but it was a classic and made her smile. The whole house was empty apart from the maid coming in and out throughout the day. Chuck had to attend a meeting at Bass industries and Lily and Scarlett had left for the Zoo. Eric had been begged by the little girl to come with them so he had gone with their mother and Scarlett to the zoo. The elevator door pinged open but Serena took no notice, thinking it was the maid again.
"Serena?" Serena turned around to the whisper of her name and saw the person she was dreading to see, standing in front of her.
"Blair" Serena stood up off the couch nervously playing with her hands.
Blair could not believe she was back now. She sort of hoped that she wouldn't have to run into Serena. That she would leave before the time Blair had chance to run into her. But now her former best friend was stood in front of her with nothing to say. Not even a crummy apology.
"What the hell are you doing back?" Venom shot out of Blair's mouth. Serena was a little taken back by her tone. Serena had expected as much but she didn't think Blair would be this harsh.
"I couldn't keep on running. I had to come back eventually. My whole life is here. My family and friends. Everything."
"You don't have any friends here now. Not after what you have done to us. We had all let you back into our lives when you came back the first time. Even after everything you did we all forgave you. Nate forgave you, Dan forgave you and I forgave you the most every time you screwed up. And what happened. You ran away again, but this time I'm not going to forgive you. You was supposed to be my best friend. You left me at the hardest time in my life and you didn't write or phone once to see how I was. And what about Dan, Serena. He was in love with you and you just upped and left without a warning, without a reason. You broke his heart. You broke my heart. Do you know what I went through and I needed you to be there for me and you wasn't. What sort of best friend are you? I was always there when you needed me. Always holding your hair back while you puked after drinking or rescuing you from drunken men. Lying to your own mother saying you was at mine, when really you was in some club toilet snorting crack. I was always there for you Serena. You did the worst thing imaginable to me and I don't think I will ever be able to forgive you. If I was you, I would just leave the upper east side because you wont be getting any sympathy from anyone around here" A Tear ran down Blair's cheek as she remembered the dark days when she needed Serena and Chuck and they wasn't there.
"I'm so sorry Blair. I really am. I had to go. I had to leave. I couldn't destroy everyone's lives. I didn't want to bring you all down with me. I'm sorry I never wrote or called. But I didn't want to be found. I didn't want to hurt any of you anymore. So I left and it was for the best. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you B. But I was in pain, I was in trouble myself and I couldn't risk any of you being destroyed like I was. It wasn't like I was having the time of my life when I left. I was in pain and I was hurting. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you. And I wish things could have been different but they aren't. I can't change what happened. I can only make it right" Tears were falling down Serena's cheeks as well.
"You think you were in pain. That you were hurting. I was pregnant Serena. I was pregnant with Chuck Bass's baby and you couldn't even help me when I needed you. He left me and went off with you. I was left alone with no baby father and no best friend"
"I'm so sorry Blair, I didn't know"
"But he knew Serena and he didn't care. You took him away from me and I needed you both. While you was off doing god knows what with Chuck Bass, I was here on my own, dying for that Basstard. I carried his baby for 6 months on my own while he was shacking up with you. I went through so much trying to keep a little piece of him that I nearly died and it was all for nothing. My baby died Serena. Do you know how hard it is to lose a Child? And I had nobody to support me or help me get through it. My best friend was gone and the man who I loved had run off with my best friend. I had to carry my child for 6 months to give birth to a stillborn baby. I sat there with my little girl who looked just like her father and cried. I cried for days on end. I was 19 years old and I was grieving over not only my dead child but the man I loved and where was you to help me through this Serena. You was off giving birth to Chucks perfect healthy little girl. Where my daughter had died. How is that fair Serena? You think I can forgive you. You think your apologies are going to make everything right. Well there not. I don't want anything to do with you" Blair was so angry, tears were continuously rolling down her cheeks as she shook with rage.
"Blair I am so sorry. I didn't know. And I'm so sorry for your loss. But Blair, Scarlett isn't Chucks daughter. I was distraught and needed someone and Chuck left with me and looked after us both. He gave us a roof and provided for us. I never knew Chuck knew about your pregnancy. I would have never asked him to help me if I knew. I am so sorry Blair"
"Great. That just makes me feel a whole lot better. The great Chuck Bass jumped at the opportunity to help look after you and your brat but yet he couldn't stay and look after his own. That's just brilliant Serena. Just stay away from me. Both of you. I don't want you near me, my husband, Nate or even Jenny. We have all moved on and forgot about you two and I suggest you just go back to wherever it was you came from. Nobody wants you here" Blair glared with pure hatred for Serena and Chuck.
"What about Dan? Is he not still around here?" Serena asked. He was the one person that would hopefully forgive her.
"I don't think you heard right Serena. I said me and MY husband" Blair smirked.
"Wait, What? Dan is married to you?" Serena could not believe that the boy from Brooklyn had married the Blair Waldorf of the UES.
"Yeah, I guess the best thing about you and Chuck leaving was that it brought me and Dan closer. We were both heart broken and needed somebody to lean on and eventually we became best friends and then realised the feelings were deeper and here we are today" Blair glared, a warning sign to Serena.
"I mean it. Dan doesn't want to see you. He hates you and Chuck just as much as I do. So stay away from us all" And with that Blair turned on her heels and got into the elevator.
Serena sunk back onto the sofa and absorbed all the information she had received.
Dan, her Dan was married and to Blair of all people. Serena couldn't believe that Dan was married to Blair. When Serena was with Dan, They hated each other. She had to work so hard to split her time between Dan and Blair and now they were married. Maybe she and Chuck had drove Blair and Dan into each others arms. Maybe if Serena had never of left then she and Dan would be happily married now. She couldn't believe how much things had changed around here. And Blair being pregnant with Chuck's baby and then losing the Baby while Chuck new all about her pregnancy and did nothing to help Blair but helped Serena with her own pregnancy. She couldn't believe it. The Upper East Side had truly changed.
Spotted: B storming out of the Van Der Bass Apartment. Sources say mascara was smudged. We heard that a certain queen B ran into a certain Van der Woodsen It girl. We heard there was a catfight. I wonder how S reacted to finding our B is married to her former beau Lonely Boy or How B reacted to Serena shacking up and creating spawn with Chuck Bass himself. Things could get ugly. Keep me posted.
