He was Chuck Bass and he could do anything he set his mind too. Heck. He would do anything if it would get her back again. He'd thought he lost her once. Never again would that dark thought darken his mind.

"I promise." He said with a firm voice.

As much as she wanted to take him on his word, she had learned not too.

"Your promises don't mean anything to me. You have to prove to me that you've changed."

"I can."

Blair sighed, "I don't mean only no more running off, though that is important. I loved and love the way you are. But if you wanna be anywhere near this baby; lots of things have to go."

Chuck's ears perked.

"The drugs, the women, and all the booze. Some every now and then is fine. Not as a drink with every meal though. I don't want anything to hurt my baby. Not even its own father." She spit the last word at him.

He wanted to argue with her, but Blair was very hormonal without being pregnant. He couldn't begin to fathom how hormonal she was when she was pregnant.

"Fine. Consider them good as gone." after all, his addiction to her was so much stronger then all of those combined. "I have rules of my own though."

Blair raised an eyebrow at him. How could he have rules?

"You cant tell anyone about the baby." He started.

"That's a given." She growled. "Wouldn't want to scratch your flawless reputation by having everyone know your expecting a baby."

"Its not for my reputation." He gritted his teeth together. He was starting to get mad at her assumptions. "Jack thinks I came down here to make you get rid of it. If he finds out that I'm complying with you to keep it, he'd kill me then…"

Blair caught onto what he was trying to say. All the hate she had bottled up and tried to push away was resurfacing. She already hated Jack, but if he ever tried to even look at her child there would be more hell than all of Bass industries could pay.

"He will never lay a finger on my baby."

"I want to make sure he will never touch our baby. You have to believe me Blair." His fingertips lightly caressed her cheek.

He could see the debate she was having mentally. Unfortunately he couldn't see what side was winning.

He had to find someway to convince her that he had grown up. Someway to make her understand he was trying to save her, not harm her.

"What do you suggest?" She inquired.

Chuck thought for a moment. He hadn't really taken time to stop and think something out. Its not like he could take her to a Bass hotel. It would've been all to easy for Jack to find them then. They couldn't go to France. Her father hated him. Plus that was where this whole thing started. In France. Where on Earth would be safe?

Blair took Chuck's silence and contemplating look as a bad sign.

"You came here sword drawn and battle ready, with no armor?" She scoffed, backing away from him.

He shot her a dirty look. Still trying to think of a way to protect her. How had he managed to fall for someone who could be his twin? What happened to opposites attract?

"Where do you feel safest?" A small smile twitched in the corner of his mouth.

She opened her mouth to say something, but quickly snapped it shut again. If she had said with him all the courage she had spent a month building, would vanish.

"I don't know. Here." She quickly spit out the first thing that came to her mind. What he didn't know was her sentence was left unfinished. Here with you.

"Well here isn't safe enough. I need to find a place that is." He looked away from her.

"Hmph. Well, while you think I have a meeting with the headmistress. I need to change and get back to school." She started back up the stairs.

"I'll be here." He made his way over to the couch.

Her heart fluttered hearing that. Suddenly she was lighter than air, practically floating up the stairs.

_*_

"Has Yale called?" Blair chimed as she sat down in one of the elegant chairs, placed in front of the Headmistress' desk.

She wanted this meeting to be over with as soon as possible. Chuck was waiting for her at home. She couldn't wait to get back and see him so she could resume pretending to be mad at him.

"No. I'm not quite sure they will." Suddenly the lightly feeling she had sank. "There are rumors spreading. Evidence being presented." The headmistress rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Blair, it is a well known fact you are involved with Chuck Bass."

Blair could feel her heartbeat slowing down. So much so it was as if it had just completely stopped.

"I confiscated a cell phone during school hours today. When I looked at the screen I almost had a heart attack. Answer me this, and answer it truthfully for your school career may depend on it. Are you pregnant with Charles Bass' child?" It sounded like a horrid disease when she said it like that. How could she speak of the warmth in her like that? As if she had formed some type of leprosy?

Blair's fingers fiddled in her lap. It wasn't her refusing to answer, it was her being scared too. If she lied and said she wasn't and Headmistress knew otherwise, she might be expelled. If she told the truth and said she was, she would be expelled.

"Well, Blair? This site had much more stuff that I'm meeting with students about, so if you would grace me with an answer it would be nice." Headmistress pressed.

Blair realized her mouth was hanging open and quickly shut it .

"I went to visit my father in France. While there, I picked up I a stomach virus. I went to a doctor's office. When I was coming out someone took a picture, sent it to Gossip Girl, and there started the rumor. You see, it was just people not minding there own business." Good thing Blair was such a cool liar.

Headmistress didn't look convinced, but still smiled.

"Well, that's good news. You would have lost Yale for sure if it had been true." She sighed.

Was it Headmistress' job to make her feel terrible? Cause if not, she was doing an excellent job. So what if she lost Yale? She had what she wanted. It didn't matter, right?

Who was she kidding? It mattered so much.

"You're dismissed, but know that we will being watching these texts."

Once again, Blair's mind disconnected from her body. She nodded politely at her superior and let her feet carry her out of the room. Then out of the building.

She'd dreamed of Yale ever since she could dream. She'd dreamed of Chuck Bass ever since that night in the back of The Limo. Had Chuck really replaced Yale? Could Chuck replace Yale?

She wanted them both desperately. Just as much as she wanted this baby. Was everything ruined? Would she never see her first class in Yale?

A small smile formed on her lips though. If even if she didn't have Yale. Even if Chuck left her again, though she hoped it won't happen, she still had her baby. She still had the tiny life that was hers. No one could take her baby away.

Okay. So I tried my hand at making Chuck and Blair videos. If you wanna see 'em look me up on YouTube. Musicprincess1992. That's all for this chapter though. Who else cant wait for tomorrow's episode? Blair is gonna seriously tear that new teacher up! Woot!
