Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl, just the plot and my ideas :)
"What happened?" Rufus and Lily screamed when they saw Jenny getting wheeled into the hospital on a gurney.
"Jack…" Rufus narrowed his eyes and Lily hugged him tightly, watching the tears pool.
"I'm so sorry." Serena ran in with Nate, both of them upset.
"It's not your fault Serena." She gulped, glancing around the room.
"Actually it is… I'm the one who got her to go up there." Nate dropped her hand, looking at her in shock and Lily and Rufus gasped. Blair simply hung her head, walking outside to call Dan and Vanessa.
"You're sure you can watch her?" Blair nodded, watching Dan and V run out to the car.
"Where's my mommy?" Blair sighed, sitting down beside the little girl and brushing her hair slowly.
"She'll be back soon… let's go get you cleaned up okay?"
"Lily?" She stirred, looking around and seeing Chuck was watching her.
"Charles!" She grabbed his hand, peppering his face with kisses.
"How are you feeling? I need to get the doctor!" She fluttered around the room and while she was busy he took the time to look around, she was the only one in the room with him, he wondered vaguely where Jenny was but assumed she stayed with Charlotte.
"How are you feeling?" The doctor walked in, giving Chuck a small smile as he checked his blood pressure.
"Sore… is Jen here? I need to talk to her." Lily froze, her eyes darting down as she turned away slightly.
"Thank you doctor… if you'll excuse us?" He nodded, giving her a tight smile before leaving and shutting the door.
"What happened?"
"Charles… take a deep breath okay?" She sat beside him, taking his hand as tears slipped down her cheeks.
"Where's Jenny?" Lily sighed, shutting her eyes and shaking her head.
"After the accident…" The door opened and Serena walked in, her face stained from tears and her eyes blood shot.
"I'll tell him mom." She kissed her cheek, walking out slowly and shutting the door again.
"What the hell is going on Serena? Where's Jenny?"
"She's in ICU." She said it quickly, praying for the strength to explain.
"Why? I pushed her out of the way… she didn't get hit." Serena shook her head, looking down guiltily.
"No… she was stabbed."
"What?" His heart rate jumped up and Serena walked forward, taking his hand.
"I saw Jack after you got hit… he was driving the car… I convinced Jenny that she could get him to confess and we put a wire on her… she went to his room and told him you were dying… he slipped up, said that he meant to hit her and then he was going to kill her or send her away… I'm not sure, but she somehow convinced him to let her say bye to you and the police were there and he stabbed her… Chuck I'm so sorry." She tried to take his other hand but he pulled away, looking disgusted.
"I want to see her." Serena sighed, tears slipping down her cheeks.
"Chuck you're hurt… you need to rest"
"And you need to stay out my business. Get me a doctor." She nodded, going off quickly, too scared to cross him again.
They wheeled him down the hall slowly, taking him to Jenny's room.
"Chuck… are you sure?" He ignored Serena, going inside slowly with the nurse.
"Leave us… please." The nurse put him beside the bed, leaving quietly and shutting the blinds and the door.
"Babe… you need to wake up now." He held her hand, hearing her heart increase on the monitor at his touch.
"I know you can hear me. I'll be right here when you wake up…"
"Nate hasn't talked to me in four days…" She sat beside Blair, watching as she braided Charlotte's hair.
"You need to go talk to him."
"I doubt he would let me in… he hates me." Blair gave her a small smile, shaking her head.
"He's your husband. He'd never hate you."
"He does now." Blair sighed, hugging Charlotte.
"Go watch TV Char." She ran off quietly and Serena felt her eyes watering.
"Go talk to him. He'll listen. I promise." Serena nodded, hugging Blair before leaving the apartment slowly.
Nate sighed, running his hands through his hair as the elevator door rang.
"Coming!" He walked over, freezing as he saw Serena staring at him with tears slipping down her cheeks and shaking.
"I messed up…" He walked forward quickly, wrapping his arms around her and holding her.
"You couldn't have known." She sobbed on his shoulder, so grateful to feel his arms around her again. She instantly felt guilty, Jenny may never feel Chuck's arms around her again… and it was her fault.
"I love you so much" Nate nodded, kissing her roughly and wiping away her tears.
"I love you too." She laughed, hugging him and continuing to cry.
"So Blair has been watching Charlotte all this time?" Dan nodded, pouring Vanessa a mug of coffee.
"Yeah… they seem to get along great and she's really the only one who won't be running back and forth to the hospital… it kind of made sense." Vanessa nodded, sipping the coffee.
"I just don't want her to get too close and sweep in and take Jenny's place…" Dan raised an eyebrow, studying her.
"She would never do that…" Vanessa shrugged, giving him a small smile.
"I hope not… but it's Blair and Chuck…" Dan rolled his eyes, grabbing his keys.
"She isn't dead yet Vanessa. Show some sympathy." He slammed the door the loft and she sighed, hanging her head in defeat.
"Do you think she's going to wake up?" Chuck sat in Jenny's room, holding her hand as the doctor checked the machines.
"It really all depends; if she has something to wake up for… then chances are she will." Chuck nodded, kissing her hand again as the doctor left.
"Charles? What are you doing here?" Lily looked up in surprise, jumping up and hugging him tightly.
"I need to talk to Rufus… is he here?" Lily nodded, giving him a small smile.
"Rufus! Charles is here to talk to you!"
"So how's Jenny?" Chuck shrugged, seeming nervous as Rufus walked down.
"The doctors say she'll wake up, it's just a matter of time." Rufus paused as he took in Chuck's appearance, he had a cast on his arm and a few bruises and had been walking with a limp, but other than that he was lucky and unhurt.
"Charles." Rufus glanced at Lily and gave her a grin.
"Let's go for a walk." Chuck nodded, hugging Lily and kissing her cheek before walking out with Rufus.
"So how is she?"
"The doctors say the wound is healing well… we just need her to wake up now." Rufus nodded, stuffing his hands in his pockets as they walked.
"Rufus…" Chuck pulled him to a stop, gulping as he studied the man before him.
"I know you aren't my biggest fan… and you're against Jenny loving me and that I've hurt her in the past but I want to spend the rest of my life showing her how much I love her every day, good or bad. She's changed me… she's given me a beautiful daughter, and I don't think I can ever love anyone as much as I love her… so with your blessing… I'd like to ask her to marry me." Chuck pulled out the small velvet box and handed it to Rufus.
He opened the box, staring at the large cushion cut diamond, surrounded by a circle of smaller diamonds.
"I'll never do her wrong again Rufus… I promise." Chuck was terrified by his silence, biting his lip nervously as Rufus continued staring at the ring.
"It's a good pick… her favorite kind of ring." Chuck gave a small smile as Rufus handed the box back to him.
"You have my blessing." Chuck grinned, laughing and hugging Rufus. The action surprised both men, but Rufus hugged him back, grinning as he pulled away.
"So how are you thinking about proposing?" Chuck shrugged, smiling as he slipped the ring back into his pocket.
"I'm not sure… I mean, I want to have it written across the sky or something amazing… but Jenny wouldn't like that… deep down she'll always be a girl from Brooklyn who likes playing football on thanksgiving and likes wearing jeans all the time…" Rufus laughed and nodded, pulling out his cell phone as it rang.
"Hello?" He paused, his eyes widening as he pulled Chuck to a stop.
"I'll be right there." He hailed a cab quickly and Chuck raised an eyebrow.
"The hospital just called me… She woke up." They jumped in the cab and quickly called everyone, telling them to come.
