Previously on "Forever"
"Nate
was never the guy for me, and I realized that when I asked if he
loved me and he said nothing" she said calmly as she pushed around
some of the food on her plate. "Chuck was there for me when no one
else was, he's the one I want to be with…" she trailed off and
turned to look at Chuck who had been looking at her, "He's the
one that I love, I want to spend the rest of my life with
him" "You're seventeen. How are you supposed to know
what love is?" Eleanor asked harshly as she drained her flute of
champagne and slammed it down onto the table. Blair knew that the
only reason Eleanor was opposing to the idea of the marriage was
because her own marriage had ended in shambles and she didn't trust
the idea of people actually being in love anymore. "We're
already bound together forever, we just want to make it official"
Chuck announced, lying the first stepping stone towards the grand
reveal. "What do you mean bound forever?" Harold asked as
his eyes narrowed dangerously in Chuck's direction. Blair cleared
her throat and mustered up all of the courage that she could find
inside of herself. "I'm pregnant".
"Why
would you want to tie yourself down at such a young age, and whatever
happened with your relationship with Nate?" her father asked calmly
as the table began to quiet down. She looked over towards him and she
could see the confusion and the reluctance written in his eyes, and
she knew it was then that they would have to tell them.
Everyone at the table had a dumbfounded expression written across their faces except the four teens who had already known about the news. They waited in silence as one by one the adults around the tables expressions ranged from shock, sadness, happiness in Lily's case, and pure fury. No one said anything for what felt like years but was really only a few seconds, and then Harold Waldorf stood up and lunged across the table at Chuck.
"How dare you do this to my daughter, you son of a bitch!"
The two of them went over backwards as Chuck and his chair went down with Harold on top of him. Blair tried to get him to stop but no one was listening to her, they were all too shocked. Finally the wait staff helped Blair separate her father from Chuck and she turned to her father and looked him right in the eye.
"If you hurt him, you hurt me"
She watched his face range from hurt to anger and then back to hurt as he straightened out his shirt, gave them a withering looking and walked out the restaurant without saying another word.
Chuck was released by the wait staff and he fixed his tie which had somehow gotten untied during the fight. He could feel his father staring at him as was Eleanor, who was downing all the champagne flutes on the table.
"I raised you better than this; you were supposed to marry Nathaniel Archibald. He comes from good money with good resources and good etiquette, why would you ever leave him for a Bass. When you told me about your falling out with Nate and your new relationship with Charles I condoned it because I knew it wouldn't last, couldn't last" She uttered the name like it was a poison as she got to her feet and stormed past her daughter and towards the exit, but before she left she turned around with a final ultimatum for her devastated daughter.
"Until you are done with this thing" she said gesturing towards Blair's stomach and Chuck, "you are no longer my daughter. You are no longer a Waldorf" and with that, Eleanor stormed out of the restaurant. Blair sunk back down into her seat as the tears trickled down her face and into her lap. She heard Chuck start walking towards her but he was stopped by Bart's booming voice.
"I don't say this very often Charles, so listen carefully" she knew Chuck was probably rigid in fear behind her but she couldn't muster up the strength to get out of the chair and go to him, she was just so tired. "You have done many things with your life that I have no approved of. The women, the booze, the way you act as if the world is burning and you're just enjoying it before the light goes out. I've always let that slide though because I thought that it would just be a phase, and that you would eventually grow out of it. However I didn't expect you to go from womanizing philanderer to potential husband and father overnight."
Chuck opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Bart, who wasn't done.
"I am disappointed in you Charles, for being careless enough to make a mistake this serious, but I am also proud that you want to do the right thing in regards to Blair and your child. Therefore what I'm trying to say is that I respect the decision you have made."
"I hate to interrupt this moment, but uh…none of this really directly effects my family" Rufus pointed out casually, "so why are we here?"
"Uh dad, Serena and I have some news too…and I know you aren't going to be happy and I know that you're going to say that I should have been more careful and I know I should have been but I wasn't and we didn't plan this and it just kind of happened" Dan said all of this in a rush and wasn't overly surprised that his father hadn't caught most of what he had said.
"What Dan's trying, and failing, to say is that…I'm pregnant too" Serena said slowly as she kept her eyes glued to the table. She heard a clatter of forks and she looked up quickly to see her mother and Rufus exchange horrified glances with each other. Rufus looked as if he was going to cry, Lily was crying and Bart just looked confused. Jenny and Eric, she noticed, had disappeared at some point during the conversation and she wasn't exactly sure where to.
When it became evident that their presence in the restaurant was no longer necessary, Blair and Chuck snuck out and headed outside where they were relieved to be free of the stressful environment inside.
Blair was obviously saddened by the way her family had reacted to news that she herself was quite happy about, but she knew that there was no point dwelling on it tonight. She just wanted to enjoy spending time with Chuck.
Although now that she thought about it, she was going to have to move out of her house.
Oh god
She was homeless!
"I'm homeless!" she said shrilly as they sat in the back of Chuck's limo, headed back to the Palace hotel. He winced as her voice echoed through his head, the events of the night and the champagne he had downed at the restaurant, getting the best of them.
"Blair, you are not homeless" he said with his trademark Bass smirk etched onto his face, "you'll obviously be living with us in 1513. Or if worse comes to worse and Bart is so angry with all of us you will move into Suite 1812 along with me."
"As long as we're together, it doesn't matter to me" she said as she nuzzled into the crook of his arm in the backseat of the very limo they had christened just a few months earlier. He rolled his eyes her comment and placed his arm around her small figure, pulling her closer to him.
"You aren't getting rid of me that easily Waldorf"

Serena sprinted out of the restaurant and into the crisp air, panting heavily as she ran faster than she ever had before. She had known that her mother and Rufus were going to be beyond upset but she hadn't expected things to go as horribly as they had. She knew deep down that this wasn't right, that she and Dan were not ready to be parents, and the fact that he had let her get away instead of taking off after her proved that he wasn't ready to be with her fully.
She ignored the tears that were streaming down her cheeks as she made her way to the 24 hour clinic that was a few blocks down from the restaurant. When she reached the doorway of the clinic she allowed her mind to wander for a few moments as she considered her options. She knew that there was no way she would be able to keep this baby, not with the way she felt at that moment. She wasn't ready to be a mother and she wasn't ready to be a wife, which was what she was sure Dan wanted them to do. She realized that she really only had one option left and with that morose thought in her head, she swung open the door and entered the clinic.
"Hi, I'd like to make an appointment for a…abortion"

Blair woke up as the sun hit her in the eyes from her position close to the window. She groaned and sat up in bed, Chuck's bed, as she struggled to adjust to the light before her eyes. She casually noted that she and Chuck had literally spent the whole weekend in bed, only getting up once or twice to eat and refresh themselves before restarting the cycle again. She got up and prepared herself for the day, trying to put the events of last night into perspective. Her father had attacked her boyfriend, fiancé, and her mother had practically disowned her. She was now living in suite 1812 and was going to be starting a family with the love of her life, and that made up for her parents' unsatisfactory reaction.
She exited the bathroom and pivoted in front of Chuck's full length mirror as she surveyed her body. The pregnancy was starting to show and her stomach was slightly rounded. She put her hands on her stomach and frowned slightly as Chuck came up from behind her and kissed her neck.
"You look beautiful, stop obsessing" he whispered into her ear as he pulled her back towards the bed. She grinned and kissed him back hungrily as they fell back onto the bed. She groaned aloud as her phone chimed from beside the bed and she reached over and flipped it open, sighing when she saw that it was from Gossip Girl.

After a weekend of smashing parties and tumulus hangovers, I'm back with the latest scoop on all of our favorite Upper East Siders.
B and C, both notably absent after a dinner at La Rouge Friday night have been noticeably absent from the party scene this weekend. N was spotted with a few friends at Butter drinking away his worries, not that he has many. Little J and E were spotted on the steps of the met talking to J's latest squeeze, A. Though A looked like he was having more fun talking to E than he was J… hmm.
And the most juicy gossip for the moment is about one of our favorite UES couples, D and S. Seems like the happy ending we for-saw for this power couple is going to end less than happy. S was spotted around town drinking and cavorting with her many suitors and admirers while lonely boy was spotted in the coffee shop with his friend V, downing his sorrows?
I don't know what happened, but you know I'll find out.
xoxo

Blair furrowed her eyebrows as she relayed the message to Chuck who looked just as confused as she did. Gossip girl was generally quite accurate so if she said that Serena was out partying, there was a good chance that she was doing so. She got out of bed with Chuck following behind her as they exited the suite and went up to the Van der Bass suite. Thankfully they didn't have to knock on the door, since Chuck still had the key from when he lived their previously, so they went in and went straight to Serena's room, which was notably empty. Blair sighed a little bit and dialed her friend's phone which went straight to voicemail.
"You know what this means" Blair said, with a twinge of annoyance to her voice.
"We ignore the fact that Serena is once again fucking up her life, go back to my suite and have raunchy passionate animalistic sex again?" Chuck said, as he turned around and pinned her to the wall, attacking her neck with his mouth.
"Yes" she moaned as his ministrations drove all thoughts of Serena from her mind momentarily. "I mean no, wait, fuck; stop that I can't think. We have to go check on…oh never mind. Serena's a big girl, she can take care of herself…yes!"
