A/N: Sorry for the long wait hope you guys enjoy the chapter, please review!
Revelations
She had thought it was odd when Scott Rosson had seamlessly woven himself into all their lives especially Rufus' but nothing could have prepare her for how he would affect their lives.
"Coffee at six? Great meet you there." It's the last words Dan utters before hanging up his cell phone as he reaches them on the met steps. He kisses Blair lightly before arranging himself on the step beside her.
"Scott?" Blair asks simply as she takes a bite of her salad, smiling when Dan steals one of her croutons before answering.
"Yeah, he wants to meet up later."
"He seems to get along great with you and Rufus." Serena states, it's been weeks since Scott came into their life and he seemed to get closer everyday.
"Yeah who know my Dad had actual fans." It was a bit odd but since it made Rufus so happy having someone so enthusiastic about his music that Serena really had nothing to complain about.
"Hey maybe Scott just has good taste?" It comes out as a question more than anything else. Sure Serena loves Rufus' music but in all honesty his band was never that big and the few songs they did have really couldn't warrant the kind of fan Scott portrayed himself to be.
"Uh maybe?" Blair tries to help but her face betrays her.
"Hey you know he had fans…. I think." Dan words float between them uncomfortably. The three silently decide to leave it at that because really Scott Rosson just made no sense.
"Hey Serena" She looks up from the computer into Scott's smiling face and almost sighs.
"Scott! Did Rufus know you were coming?" She was sure if he had known he wouldn't have left the gallery or at least left a note for the boy.
"Actually I just though I would drop by."
"Oh well he's not here at the moment he probably won't come in at all today."
"Oh sorry to disrupt then."
"No it's fine, Rufus loves it when you come by,"
"Does he?" His whole demeanor brightens and it worries her how attached he's become to Rufus.
"You are a fan." She just wants to remind him how he fits in all of this.
"Right fan." He seemed dejected at that.
"I'm sure your number one thought."
"Yeah."
"Hey I know this isn't any of my business but how is your mom cool with you and Rufus." She's taken aback at the quick change of conversation.
"My mom… wow that really isn't your business."
"I know I'm sorry it's just I get it you know."
"Get what?"
"There's this woman back in she's older but I don't know she's the one." She start's feeling guilty because maybe Scott's life isn't just about Rufus and them and she never thought of that.
"Let me guess parents aren't too happy."
"Let's just say they cut me off for a while, but I think everything will work out I hope so at least. You and Rufus are great together, I was just wondering if your mom was supportive."
"No she isn't to the point where I'm living with Blair at the moment but I don't you can compare the two."
"Why?"
"It's not a secret my mom used to date Rufus long time ago, as in I wasn't born yet."
"Heavy, I thought I had it rough."
"Yeah well there' s always worse." She laughs mostly cause she hopes it true.
"So Scott's nice." She's trying to play it cool and decides to bring it up while he's busy reading in bed and she's putting on moisturizer.
"Yeah he's a really good guy." He comments offhandedly.
"He comes by a lot."
"Does it bother you?" Finally he puts his book down to look at her.
"No, yes, I mean I don't know." She had given this a lot of thought she didn't want to cause any problems between her and Rufus but there was just something not right about Scott and she couldn't let it go.
"What's wrong?" She turns to face him and decides to just get it all out there.
"I saw Scott talking to Vanessa the other day."
"Okay?"
"The other day I was at the Gallery while you were gone Scott came by looking for you when he realized you weren't there we got into this weird conversation about my mom but it was because he told me some story about him and an older women being together and his parents not being ok with it. He told me she was the one and now I feel like he was just using that story to get me to talk about my mom. I don't Rufus he's up to something I think."
"Like what?"
"I don't know but I do know it obviously revolves around you and my mom."
"I believe you I do, but I don't know what you want me to do about it."
"Nothing, I just want you to be cautious around him."
"I can do that."
"Ok good." She lets him go back to her book and she busies herself with combing her hair, hoping her fears are unfounded.
"Scott's psycho." Blair declared quickly the moment she sat down on the Met steps.
"Blair!" Dan gave her an accusatory look as he sat next to her, which she easily ignored.
"Dan hush. Yesterday while we were busy… anyways Dan gets a phone call from him saying it's an emergency so naturally knight in shining armor over here leaves me, unattended and goes to help out. Turns out he just wanted info on where your mom lives."
"My mom!" Serena was surprised and yet not she knew there was something odd about him.
"Exactly thankfully Dan didn't give him any information but he flipped out saying Dan wasn't 'cooperating' , really he needs to be handled." Quickly takes out her phone and begins texting.
"Blair who are you getting involved?" Dan asks exasperated as if he's been fighting with her on this for a while.
"We agreed I wouldn't do anything until I told Serena which I just did, so now Chuck is going to have to be useful."
"Chuck?" Even Serena could hear the jealousy that came with the name.
"We all know he has the best P.I. team and we always want the best." Blair told him easily.
"Serena can you explain to her how this is insane."
"Dan…" She's about to say he's right but one look from Blair and her true feelings come out. "Blair's right we need to know who exactly this guy is and more importantly what he's up to."
"Always am, besides haven't you noticed all the recent plaid he's been wearing he's trying too hard to be a Humphrey for my taste." It's this comment that apparently snaps Dan into actually thinking about all the recent events.
"Ok I mean I guess it couldn't hurt to check the facts."
"That's all I want to do."
"Blair come on tell me!" Serena pleaded as they sat in the Humphrey loft alone, after Dan decided it was best Blair do this alone.
"Ok it's just…" Once again she absently plays with the manila folder in her hand. "I don't know how." Serena starts to panic because with all they have been through what could leave Blair so speechless.
"Just tell me, I need to know." She grips Blair's hands because she just needs to get this over with, she rather rip the band-aid off then take her time with it drawing out the pain.
"Scott's… he's Rufus' son."
"What." It's not what she expected but it's not the worse thing either, they could get through this, Serena supported Rufus in being a father this didn't have to change a thing.
"And Lily is his mom." Serena's sure she must have heard wrong because this was just too much. "I'm so sorry S." She feels Blair's arms envelope her and she knows it's true, knows that she has a half-brother out there and that she's sleeping with his dad.
So the truth was out, Lily and Rufus had a love child and he had come back to claim a family that didn't exist. It was one of the hardest trials they had to endure, and though hearing it was bad enough actually discussing it with Rufus and her mother was really the tipping point.
A/N: So what do you think? I'm not sure what will happen to Scott yet and though he's seen a little like a crazy fan/stalker here I plan to explain his actions more later so don't hate him too much please.
