A/N: Hello everyone, so I know this chapter is like a thousand words shorter than what you're used to, but I really couldn't add anything more in here, I just wanted it to be concise and cover a few things so... I decided to kind of have two mini chapters in a row. This is part one, the next chapter will be part two :) That one is only like 500 words though, so don't hate me!
And as always, shout out to my Beta Elizabeth! Thank you for sticking with me through this very long hiatus!

"I can't believe he only got 20 years" Everyone sat around the table in Lily's apartment, eating waffles and staring at the paper.
"I know… I mean he tried to kill both of us" Chuck spoke angrily, holding Jenny's hand under the table and bouncing Charlotte on his knee.
"Well, he better stay far away from my family when he gets out." Dan spoke this time, holding Vanessa's hand and glancing around the table. He wasn't really okay with Jenny and Chuck getting married, but he knew he couldn't tell her otherwise.
"Alright, well there's nothing we can do about it, is there?" Jenny was always the voice of reason when it came to her and Chuck. She squeezed his hand and he nodded, glancing over and kissing her cheek.
"It's gonna be fine." Rufus scooped Charlotte off of Chuck's lap, not wanting her near all of the talk about Jack.
"Why don't, you and I go make some more waffles?" Charlotte clapped happily, wrapping her arms around Rufus's neck and looking at everyone at the table as they disappeared into the kitchen.
"Okay, now we mix up the batter, can you crack the eggs?" Charlotte tried her hardest, but ended up smashing the egg completely all over the counter. Rufus chuckled, wiping up the mess and holding her hand as she tried again.
"Not as hard this time, okay?" She nodded, sticking out her tongue in her concentration.
"Just a little, tiny, crack." They tapped the egg on the counter until it cracked and then they spilled the contents into the bowl.
"Good job!" Rufus kissed her cheek and she giggled, hugging him.
"I love you grandpa!" He smiled, washing his hands and ruffling her hair.
"I love you too Char." They added the flour and Charlotte stirred while Rufus cleaned the waffle iron.
"Alright now fill me up a cup!" She filled it slowly, biting her lip as she measured before handing the cup over.
He let her use a fork and pull the waffle from the iron and they started making a hefty stack on a plate. Lily came in, smiling and studying them.
"Grandma we're making waffles!" Lily dipped her finger in flour and dabbed it on her nose, laughing as Charlotte giggled.
"I can see that!" Charlotte wiped the flour off and the two headed into the dining room. She sat on Dan's lap this time, looking around for a few minutes before digging into another waffle.
"So… Ron and I have an announcement to make!" Eric spoke, holding Ron's hand and grinning. Everyone looked up, smiling and waiting.
"We're getting married!" Everyone clapped, they already knew they were getting married, but to hear it be officially announced was amazing.
"When?" Blair needed to start planning now, she got her little boy soon, she hadn't told anyone yet… she had planned on telling them at breakfast but now this would be Eric's day.
"A week from Tuesday. I know it's fast, but we don't need a big family, we just want family there." Everyone 'awed' and Blair immediately started planning.
"Now before you start going crazy…" Ron looked to Blair, giving her a small smile.
"No bachelor parties, no showers, nothing fancy. I just want that piece of paper that says he's my husband" Jenny felt her eyes watering and Chuck squeezed her hand gently.
Soon it would be their day, and he could hardly wait to see her come down the aisle and make her his wife.
After breakfast Chuck took Charlotte to her riding lesson and Serena, Jenny, and Blair decided to go shopping. They were walking through a few aisles when Jenny mustered up her courage.
"Girls?" They turned, both looking at her.
"I uh… I kind of wanted to ask you… if you would be my Matron, and Maid of honor?" Serena screeched and Blair yelped, both of them nearly tackling Jenny into a rack of Louboutin's.
"Absolutely!" They screamed it at the same time, both cheering happily.
"Oh I can't wait! I love weddings!" Serena grinned, rubbing her stomach and laughing happily.
"We need to start looking at dresses right now!" Before Jenny could even object, they were dragging her out of the store and down to Vera Wang.
"What about this one?" They pulled dress after dress, making her try them on and it was all she could do not to scream.
"Guys…" They picked another dress, it was beautiful and lace, but she could hardly breathe. She didn't want to be here… not in a bridal store, not wearing dresses that cost thousands of dollars… she just wanted to be home, with Chuck and Charlotte.
"Get me out of this…" Her body felt like it was on fire and she started to shake as she tugged at the lace.
"Oh Jenny it's not that bad… the sleeves are great!" She could hear them muttering to themselves about it and her heart started pounding.
"I need to get out of this dress…" Serena turned to face her, seeing how pale she was.
"Hey are you okay?" She reached out as Jenny stumbled off the podium, trying to reach the zipper.
"Get it off me… get it off me!" Blair ran forward, fumbling with the zipper as Jenny struggled to breathe, the high neck on the dress nearly suffocating her.
"Jenny just take a deep breath!" And that was the last thing she heard as she hit the ground.
