Chapter 10

Blair waited until she heard the elevator doors close behind Chuck before she put a now sleeping Charlie back in his cot and grabbed the nearest phone to call Serena. The phone rang just once before Serena picked up,

"Hey B" the blonde said. Blair tried to level her voice so she wouldn't sound too upset before she replied.

"Hey S, can you come over?" she asked. The line was quiet for a few seconds.

"B, what's wrong?" Serena asked. Blair mentally cursed herself.

"I'll explain when you get here okay?" Blair said, hoping Serena wouldn't pry anymore.

"Okay, I'll leave right now. I'll see you in twenty minutes," Serena said gently and then she hung up the phone.

Blair put the phone back on its stand and then went to reapply her makeup, which had managed to make its way down her face. She stared at herself in the bathroom mirror for what seemed like forever.

"Am I being selfish?" she asked her reflection, thinking back on Chuck's earlier comment.

She pushed the thought aside and started applying mascara and then some more lipstick. When Serena arrived Blair had just finished restyling her hair. Serena walked into the living room and saw the two flutes of champagne standing on the drinks cabinet. Blair came down the stairs.

"Are we celebrating something B?" Serena asked, motioning towards the flutes. Blair followed her gaze and sighed.

"We were going to," Blair said "Chuck and I,"

Serena raised her eyebrows in question.

"My mom offered me her place in Waldorf Designs," Blair explained.

Serena's eye opened wide.

"Oh my gosh Blair! That's incredible!" Serena gushed. She ran to hug Blair, scooping the tiny brunette up in her arms. "This is amazing news, why aren't you happy?" Serena asked, coming to a half when she realised Blair wasn't hugging her back.

"I was happy, still am. But this job comes with something else. I have to move to Paris, because that's where Waldorf Designs is run from," Blair explained.

"Oh,"

"Yeah, and that's what I had a fight with Chuck about. He ended up telling me I was selfish because I wanted to move. He said I would be taking Charlie away from his family," Blair sighed.

Serena was quiet for a moment, before she took Blair's hand and led her to the couch. They sat down and Serena let out a long breath, pondering over her answer.

"Well, I think he's right Blair. I mean Charlie is still so young, you can't move him to another country now it would unsettle him," Serena said gently.

"Since when were you a baby expert?" Blair spat.

"Blair, I'm just thinking about what's best," Serena said.

Blair was quiet.

"But I really want the job," she whispered, her eyes starting to water again.

Serena hugged Blair, soothing her.

"I know, but B there are so many opportunities for you right here. Maybe you should ask your mom if you can work at the New York branch?" Serena suggested.

"I suppose I could try that," Blair sniffed.

"When does your mom want your answer?" Serena asked.

"Friday, that's when she goes back," Blair replied.

"She's giving you two days?" Serena stuttered "To make a life changing decision. Wow, same old Eleanor," she laughed.

Blair chuckled in Serena's arms.

"I didn't mean to fight with Chuck, I didn't want to," Blair confessed.

"Well then, why don't we drink that champagne over there, and then you go talk to him?" Serena suggested.

Blair nodded and went to get the champagne, when she came back she gave Serena one of the flutes and kept the other for herself.

"What should we toast to?" Serena suggested.

Blair thought about it.

"To me and you," she smirked.

"I can go with that," Serena giggled and they both downed their drinks.

"We probably shouldn't have done that considering we're supposed to be watching Charlie," Blair laughed.

"Do you want me to watch him while you go see Chuck?" Serena asked.

Blair nodded.

"Yes please, he's upstairs sleeping at the moment so you should be fine for a while," Blair said.

"Okay, go B!" Serena laughed "I hope it works out alright,"

Blair hugged Serena once more for good luck, and then ran to the elevator.
