For Charlie's Sake

Disclaimer: I don't own Gossip Girl in any way. If I did then Chuck and Blair would be together but *Sighs* I can dream…

Chapter 6

Blair was terrified. She didn't know what was going on. She barely remembered leaving.

She just knew that she had left Chuck abruptly. She took a cab to the school.

Her heart was pounding. If anything were to happen to Charlie she wouldn't know what she would do.

The cab pulled up to the school and she threw bills at the cab driver, probably overpaying him but she didn't care.

She just wanted to see her daughter, her baby. She had to know that she was alright.

She ran into the school and followed the cries of her daughter that was in the nurse's office.

When she asked the nurse what happened the nurse replied,

"She was playing on the monkey bars during recess when she fell off and landed on her arm".

"It may be broken".

"It hurts Mommy" Charlie said with tears running down her face.

She gave her a concerned loving gaze and went to her daughter.

She gathered her into her arms gently.

"I know baby Mommy is going to take you to the hospital. It's going to be alright".

"We've already called an ambulance, they are on their way" said the nurse.

The ambulance suddenly arrived and they were soon on their way to the hospital. She called Serena on the way there, who panicked as much as she did when she first heard.

Serena insisted she would meet them at the hospital.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She and Serena were by Charlie's hospital bed when the doctor was explaining Charlie's injury.

"It's broken, but it's a clean break. I don't expect any complications".

"She should keep the cast on for a few weeks".

"Careful it cannot be wet", Blair nodded.

"You need to bring her back so that I can remove the cast and assess the arm. She is sleeping now from the pain medication that we administered to her earlier".

"I will be back to look in on her later, when I do my second rounds".

Blair shook the doctor's hand and thanked him. She sighed.

She knew this day would be horrible. She just knew it.

And it's wasn't over yet.

Her cell phone rang.

It was Nate.

"Hey Nate, you wouldn't believe the day I've had".

"Well I can believe it, because I've had one too" replied Nate.

"What are you talking about?" asked Blair.

"You know how Chuck loaned me the money to start my business?"

"Yes" replied Blair already fearing where this was going.

"Well he wants it back in full by the end of the week. I don't have that kind of money".

"I could lose everything". Nate said desperately.

"The company was just starting to take off. I have to go see him".

"I'm leaving now".

"I need to know what this is all about".

"No Nate! Don't go!, or at least wait for me!" exclaimed Blair but Nate had already hung up.

She turned around and looked at a sleeping Charlie and then at Serena.

"B, what's wrong?"

"It's Chuck, he's gone crazy. I don't know what's up with him, but I have to go".

"Can you stay with Charlie?"

"Yes of course B, I'm her godmother, that's what I'm here for".

She thanked her and kissed Charlie's head.

She felt guilty for leaving her daughter like this but she just had to go.

"If she wakes up tell her I will be back as soon as I can".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck was nursing a drink when Nate came in. All the fury he had slowly been building all day long came to the surface.

He put his drink down and charged towards Nate.

He didn't even give Nate a chance to speak before he punched him.

"What the fuck? What is with you Chuck?"

"What is with me, What is with me!?"

"Like you don't know".

Chuck swung at Nate a second time but Nate ducked out of the way.

Chuck came at him and they both tumbled to the floor. Arms were flaying and they were rolling around back and forth.

That is how Blair found them.

"Stop it! Chuck stop, leave Nate alone!"

Hearing Blair defend Nate had Chuck seeing red.

"What is wrong with you?" asked Blair.

"You're still going to play stupid" said Chuck.

She still didn't know what all this was about but she knew inside that it had more to do with her than with Nate. She asked Nate to leave.

"But Blair".

"I said go".

"I need to speak with him alone".

As soon as Nate left, Chuck faced her his eyes full of rage and said,

"How could you?"

"How could I what?" asked Blair not understanding.

Chuck sneered.

"How could you leave that bed smelling of me then go spread your legs for him".

God I was stupid thought Chuck.

"How could you give him a child?" Blair's eyes widened.

He had found out about Charlie. He thought that she was Nate's and it hurt her.

She kept quiet and it infuriated him.

"Tell me!" he shouted.

He grabbed her by the arms and pushed her against him forcefully. She flinched.

He was probably hurting her but at that moment he didn't care. He wanted to hurt her. Punish her for the pain she caused him.

Having her this close he could smell her perfume, hear her ragged intake of breath, see the tears in her eyes.

Part of him wanted to comfort her, kiss her, but he knew he couldn't. He had to remember all the pain she had put him through.

His anger boiled over and he said,

"You're such a slut".

Blair's tears fell. She pushed herself out of his arms and slapped him across the face.

"How dare you!" Blair yelled.

"You have no right".

"You left me five years ago without a backwards glance".

"What did you expect me to do wait for you?"

"But you didn't wait for me, did you Blair? In fact you didn't even wait for the sheets to cool".

"Damn you!" screamed Blair.

"I suffered for you! I called you, left messages and you never replied to any of them".

"I see how you suffered. You suffered so much you sought comfort in Nate".

"Shut the hell up! You don't know what you're talking about".

"What don't I know Blair?"

She took a deep breath.

"It doesn't matter anymore. None of this does".

"Please Chuck don't do this. Think of Nate and of all the people who will be affected if you go through with this".

"Fuck Nate".

"He didn't think about me when he took you to his bed. As for the people, I couldn't care less".

"Then think of me. I will have nothing".

He scoffed "you will not have nothing per-se".

"You will have to run crying to Mommy".

"My satisfaction will be in knowing you had to go to her for money, a failure".

Tears clogged in Blair's throat.

"Then think of my daughter".

"She is the innocent one in all of this".

"She has nothing to do with what happened between us".

"She shouldn't have to suffer because of me".

Chuck looked at her cruelly.

"What do I care about your little bastard?"

Blair's rage overwhelmed her and she swung at Chuck.

He was anticipating this blow so he caught her wrist tightly.

"There is nothing you can say to me now that will make me change my mind" said Chuck harshly.

Blair looked into Chuck's eyes, not recognizing the man she once loved.

Her voice broke as she said,

"That little girl you just called a bastard, is your daughter".

A/N: DUN DUN DUNNN. So Chuck finally knows. I bet you all hate me for leaving it there. But have no fear because I will be working on the next chapter shortly. I can't thank you enough for all the positive reviews I've received for this story. I never thought people would like it so much. So, what do you think Chuck's reaction will be? What do you think Blair will do now? I most likely won't have this updated tomorrow. I know I said that yesterday but I really mean it this time. I'm going to be busy. But I will be working on it. Don't forget to REVIEW to tell me what you thought about this chapter.
