"The Wrong Prince"
Chapter 10
Serena stormed through the hospital doors. She stopped at the reception and asked worriedly, "Excuse me, in which room is Blair Waldorf?"
"Are you family?" the receptionist answered to her question with a new one.
"No, but I… I'm her best friend. Please, at least tell me if she's alright!" Serena pleaded.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but I can't give you this sort of information."
"Please, I-"
"Is there a problem here?" a voice from behind interrupted Serena. She turned around. "Angus?!"
"Hi, Serena!" the man before her said and smiled. He looked thirty years old and was exactly the definition of a 'hot doc'– he had dark blond hair, mesmerizing green eyes and a gorgeous body. Serena had met him on that trip to Buenos Aires about three years ago. Back then he was still doing his doctor practice.
"I'll take it from here," the man told the receptionist, who tried to protest but failed, and led Serena through the hallway.
"So, what brings you here?" he asked when he saw the worried look on her face. "I'm really glad to see you, but it's not the place I wished that to happen."
"My best friend's been in a car-crash and I just… I'm so worried about her. But I'm not family and they won't tell me anything."
"What's her name?"
"Blair. Blair Waldorf."
"Well…" he silenced, as if he was calculating what would be the damage for him if he told Serena anything.
But she obviously sensed that and said, "Please! I need to know if she's OK. She's like my sister. And… and she's pregnant on top of all and…" she couldn't continue because her voice got caught in her throat as she began to sob.
Angus didn't say a thing for a second, but then he mouthed, "Come with me," and Serena couldn't believe her ears.
She followed him down the hallway, until he stopped in front of a door.
"We've put your friend in a single room, so that she'd be more comfortable," Angus said.
"That's thoughtful," Serena replied, now feeling slightly more comfortable herself as she threw a glare through the little window on the hospital door and saw her best friend peacefully sleeping on the bed. "She looks fine."
"She is fine," the doctor said. "If we don't count a few bruises, she's almost unhurt."
"And the baby?"
"We're currently monitoring it. We're not 100% sure of its condition but the car-crash wasn't that hard so we hope for the best."
Serena's heart lightened a little, but she wouldn't stop worrying until she knew for sure what was happening with them. She stand there in front of the door not able to move a single inch until she saw Blair's hand moving and her eyes opening.
Apparently Angus saw that too, because he said, "I should go in and run a few tests. You sit here and when I'm ready, you'll be able to see her."
"Thank you," Serena said. "I appreciate it."
The doctor only nodded and entered the room. Serena looked around, saw a few chairs and sat down. Still nervous, she was pulling at her clothes as her phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and looked at the screen – it was Chuck.
"Hey," she spoke into the phone.
"Where are you?" he asked harshly.
"I'm sitting in front of Blair's room in the hospital. Where are you?"
"I'm at the reception, but they won't let me in."
Without hesitating Serena looked at the number on Blair's door.
"Room 308," she said. "Take the back stairs."
She then hang up and waited for Chuck to come. When she heard his footsteps on the hospital floor she turned to his direction and jumped to her feet.
"Chuck!" she exclaimed as she hugged her step-brother.
"How's Blair?"
"She… She just woke up," Serena replied, seeing the worry on Chuck's face. "The doctor's running a few tests now but later we'll be able to talk to her."
"Oh! Thank God that she's OK!"
Chuck dropped on one of the chairs and let out a huge breath, he didn't know he was holding.
"So, what did actually happen?" he asked.
Serena told him everything – how she found out that it was Beatrice who sent the blast und how Blair was on her way to him when the accident happened.
"Oh, God!" he gasped.
Serena, guessing where his thoughts ran to, said comfortingly, "Chuck, it's not your fault!"
"But she was coming to me!" he said in a low voice, his eyes never leaving the hospital floor.
"Chuck-"
"Serena!" he interrupted her and lifted his head now to look into her eyes. "If anything happens to her or the baby, I would never forgive myself!"
"Chuck, listen to me!" Serena demanded, trying as hard as she could to stay strong for her step-brother because he needed her right now. "Everything is gonna be alright. Trust me! And for the last time… It. Was. Not. Your. Fault."
She then reached and took his hand in his and squeezed it reassuringly. "It's all gonna be OK," she whispered to him and he nodded.
He had realized that blaming himself wouldn't help anyone right now. He just concentrated on Blair and their child, praying for the best.
Suddenly they heard high heels tapping rapidly on the floor. They turned around only to see Eleanor Waldorf rushing through the highway, pale as if she had just seen a ghost, and Cyrus running behind her trying hard to catch up.
"Where's Blair?" she asked abruptly. "How is she?"
"She woke up a while ago and the doctor is-"
Before Serena could finish her sentence, Angus went out of the hospital room and into the waiting area.
"Ms. Waldorf is awake and fine," he said. "You can now go in and talk to her."
That said he smiled towards the 'family' and went to do his job.
"Thank God!" Eleanor exclaimed and without further ado she entered the room to talk to her daughter.
"Mother?!" Blair asked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, you know I'm not very interested in Gossip Girl, but Laurel read the blast from last night and Cyrus and I took the first flight from Paris."
She sat on the chair next to her startled daughter's bed and caressed her hair.
"So, why don't you… explain to me what exactly is happening?" Eleanor asked and a small calming smile appeared on her face.
On the other side of the door Cyrus hugged Serena and asked her, "How's Blair?"
"She's fine. The doctor said that the crash wasn't so hard. But they are monitoring the baby."
"Well, I'm sure he or she will be fine, too," Cyrus grinned and caused both Chuck and Serena to question themselves, was there ever a second that this man wasn't all optimistic and full of hope.
"But what are you and Eleanor doing here?" Serena asked.
"Well, my dearest wife…" he began to explain but neither of the young people was really listening to what he was saying.
In a couple of minutes the older man finished his story and everything went back to the awful silence.
"Charles!" they suddenly heard Lily's voice and stood up from the chairs, they had been sitting on.
"Lily!" Chuck said as his step-mother hugged him.
She then hugged Serena and asked, "How's Blair?"
"She's fine. Eleanor is with her now," Serena said.
"And the baby?"
"They're monitoring it."
"Well, let's hope it will be fine, too. Speaking of, Charles, I want to ask you something. Is it true? What Gossip Girl wrote last night? That you are the father?"
"Yes," Chuck responded after a minute of silence and Serena nodded in addition. "But it wasn't me who sent the blast."
"It was Beatrice," Serena explained.
"So, you weren't lying?!" Nate's voice was heard. He had just entered the hallway, just in time to hear the conversation.
"No, Nathaniel. I would never lie about something like this."
"God! Man, I'm so sorry. I…" Nate found himself at a loss of words.
It looked like today everyone in this messed up, full of lies and betrayal world decided to be honest.
On the other side of the hospital door, Blair had just finished her story.
"You probably hate me now," she said in a low tone.
"What? Blair! Why would I hate you?"
"Because my actions will ruin our reputation."
"Darling, our reputation has been ruined a very long time ago so I don't think you should be worrying about that," Eleanor smiled. "I told you, I'll support you through everything and that's exactly what I'm intending to do. So, Chuck's outside. Do you want me to call him?"
"Yes," Blair's face lit up.
Eleanor went out of the hospital room only to be welcomed by Chuck, jumping to his feet.
"How is she?" he asked.
"She wants to see you," Eleanor said.
Without waiting for a second invitation, Chuck entered his beloved's room and closed the door behind him.
"Chuck," she said with a soft voice.
"Blair! I'm so glad you're OK." he rushed to the chair next to her bed. As he sat down he took her hand in his and moved her to his lips. He kissed it tenderly and said softly, "I love you so much!"
"I love you, too," she whispered and her lips curled into a light smile. "Chuck, I'm so sorry for accusing you of sending the blast!"
"Don't be," he said. "I have given you enough reason to doubt me. I just… I just want you to know that I-"
Before Chuck could finish the door opened and Angus came in.
"I'm sorry if I am interrupting something," he excused himself and then proceeded. "I just wanted to let Ms. Waldorf know that she is having two perfectly healthy babies."
Blair let out a relieved breath followed by Chuck exclaiming, "Wait a second! Two?!"
"Yes, sir," the doctor confirmed once again.
"You hear that, Blair?" he asked his beloved whose eyes got wider. "We're having twins!"
"You didn't know?" Angus asked and the couple shook their heads.
"Then I guess I am the first one to congratulate you!"
"Thank you, doctor," Blair said with a smile.
"I'm gonna leave you two alone now."
With those words Angus went out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Blair smiled towards Chuck and met his eyes only to see that there were tears in his eyes.
"Oh, Chuck!" she said tenderly and reached his hand to caress his cheek.
"I'm just so happy, Blair!"
"I know, Chuck. I'm really happy, too," she said. "Can you imagine it? We're having twins!"
They both stared at each other with big smiles on their faces.
After a couple of minutes Chuck stood up from his chair and said to Blair, "Perhaps I should go outside and inform them of the wonderful new. They were all sick worried."
"OK," she simply responded and then added, "Can Serena come in after?"
"Of course."
He sent her a flying kiss and exited the room, fully aware that in that very moment he, Chuck Bass, was the happiest man alive.
"Listen up, everybody," he said with a huge grin on his face as he faced his family and friends. "Blair and I are having twins!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of Manhattan Beatrice Grimaldi heard the news too over a phone call from someone close to her in the hospital, but she wasn't quite as pleased as the happy Mommy- and Daddy-to-be or their families. She breathed heavily in anger. She wasn't leaving the things at this.
They are having twins! Yay :D BUT as you can guess from the ending this story has a a way to go before the desired happy ending comes (oh, and it will, trust me :D).
Sooo, do you have any thoughts on this? Don't you wonder what Beatrice's motives are and what she's going to do next?
Write me what you think in a review!
