--Twenty Four--
--Oh, My Effin God!--
The next morning, Samantha woke up around eight thirty and made a mad dash to the toilet. She hated morning sickness and she couldn't wait till that part of the pregnancy was over with. After that, she sent a text to Nate to tell everyone to meet at Dan's place, so she could surprise everyone that she was home.
Samantha went into her room to go check on Chuck, but he wasn't there. All that was left on the bed was a note.
"There's something I have to do. I'll be back later. I'm glad you're home. - Chuck"
She wasn't too happy that he was gone. She comes back home and he leaves. A few minutes later, she heard the elevator door open. She got up and peeked out of her room, then heard a "Hello?" she was relieved that it wasn't Blair or Serena.
She walked out of her bedroom and said "Um... hey, Reid."
He locked eyes with Samantha and said "Hi."
"Chuck isn't here... he should be back later."
Reid nodded, then said "I didn't come here to see Chuck. I'm here to talk to you."
"Oh." she sat down on the couch. "What's up?"
Reid sat down on the other side of the couch and said "First off... I want to say that I'm sorry for the way I was to you, the day of the funeral. We left things on bad terms and I'm really sorry."
"Reid... it's fine. That's in the past."
"Okay... well, could we start over as friends?"
Samantha nodded and said "Yes... we can be friends."
"Cool... so where did you go?"
"I drove to Northern California. I had my own place and had a few friends."
"That's cool. I'm glad you came back. I missed you."
She nodded and said "So... how is everyone?"
"Good... Caleb and Pogue have already ascended. I'm next, then Tyler. Um... Tyler and Nate's been spending a lot of time together. Pogue and Kate's been fighting all the time."
"Why?"
"Because he wants Blair."
"Oh I see... I knew she thought he was a hottie."
"Yeah... so, who all knows that you're here?"
"You, Dan, Rufus, Nate, Caleb, and Chuck. There's going to be a get together at Dan's... if you guys want to go."
Reid nodded and said "Sure." he paused. "Listen, I know how Chuck feels about you and I've decided to back off and stay friends with you."
"How do you know how he feels?"
"He's said it many times when he was drunk and drinking alcohol tends to make you tell the truth. He loves you more than anyone could ever love a person." Samantha nodded. "Well." Reid stood up. "I have to get going."
"Okay."
Reid walked over to the elevator and said "I'll see you later."
"Bye, Reid."
"Bye." then he got in the elevator.
Samantha just sat there. She wanted to curl up into a little ball, because she wanted Chuck to be there with her, then she started to cry. A few minutes later, the elevator door opened and Blair stepped out.
"Hey... Chuck?" she saw someone crying on the couch, and got a little closer. "Um... excuse me. Who are you?"
Samantha giggled a little bit, then said "Relax, Blair." she lifted her head up. "It's just me."
Blair gasped and said "Oh my God! Sam!" she gave Samantha hug. "When did you get back?"
"Last night."
Blair broke from the hug, then said "Why are you crying?"
"I don't know what to do."
"About what?"
Before Samantha could answer, Serena stepped off the elevator, and said "Chuck..."
"S... looks who's home." said Blair.
Serena looked up and saw Samantha sitting on the couch, then said "Sam?"
Samantha nodded and said "Yeah... I'm home." Serena ran and gave her a hug.
"When did you get back?"
"Last night and Chuck isn't here. I think he left this morning, but he left a note, saying he'd be back later."
"So you saw Chuck... last night?"
"Yeah." Samantha nodded.
"What happened?" asked Blair.
"Nothing really... he asked me where I was, he said he was sorry for hurting me, then he fell back to sleep."
"So." Blair started. "Why were you crying?"
Samantha smiled and said "It's not important. I'm just glad to be home."
"What's the purpose of this get together, at Dan's?" asked Serena.
"It was a surprise type thing to let everyone know, that I'm home."
"Cool... where did you go?" asked Blair.
"To Northern California... after Reid and Chuck said those horrible things to me, I just had to get out of there."
"But, you're okay, right?"
"Yes, Serena." Samantha nodded, then she started thinking about something. Two minutes later, it finally dawned on her. "Oh, my effin God!"
"What is it?" asked Blair.
"I need to talk to Chuck... like now."
"Why... what's going on?"
"I don't know why, I didn't think of this before." she paused. "Of course."
"What... what?" asked Serena.
"This is really good news."
"Well, tell us, before we go crazy." said Blair.
"Don't tell anyone yet... but I'm pregnant."
"What!?!?" Blair and Serena yelled at the same time.
"But, that's not the thing I'm happy about... I'm happy about it, well, you know what I mean." Samantha took a deep breath. "I was upset because I didn't know if this baby was Reid's or Chuck's."
"You slept with Chuck?" asked Blair.
"And Reid?" asked Serena.
"But, that's the thing... I'm fourteen weeks. I slept with Chuck the day before I left to Ipswich, then I slept with Reid two weeks later." Samantha had a big smile on her face. "This has to be Chuck's baby."
"Does he know?" asked Blair.
"No... I haven't had the chance to tell him."
"Who all knows?"
"You two, Rufus, and Dan."
"How does Dan know before us?" questioned Serena.
"Rufus brought Dan to pick me up in California and Dan saw all the baby clothes in the back seat."
"So, that's where Dan went." Serena said nodding.
"We're Godmother's... right?" Blair asked in a serious tone.
Samantha smiled and said "Of course you are." then Serena and Blair gave Samantha a big hug, then seconds later, they broke from the hug.
"Wow... Chuck's going to be a father." Blair said shaking her head.
"Yeah... let's hope he does better, than Bart did with him." said Serena. "So, when are you gonna tell him?"
"I don't know. Soon."
"Do you know what you are having?" asked Blair.
"Not yet... but I have a strong feeling that I'm having a little girl."
"Aww... a little girl would be so cute. She'd look like her Aunt Blair."
Samantha laughed and said "Okay... enough about me and the baby. I hear someone wants Blair."
Serena laughed and said "He does... and they want each other."
Blair smacked Serena in the leg and said "Don't be silly."
"Blair... everytime the two of you are in the same room, regardless if Kate is there or not, the both of you are flirting up a storm."
Samantha laughed and said "Oh... really?"
"Okay, okay... yes I like him. He's different."
Samantha nodded and said "So, what else have you done besides flirt?"
"He almost kissed me... but Nate walked in."
"Bummer." Samantha said with a laugh.
"Let's go shopping." Blair suggested. "Something for tonight and stuff for the baby."
"Yeah!" said Serena, excited.
"Okay... let me get dressed." Samantha went into her room, got dressed, grabbed her purse, and cell phone, then they went into the elevator to the lobby. "Who's driving?"
"My driver... Harvey." Blair said taking out her cell phone. "He'll be here in ten minutes." Serena and Samantha nodded, then the three of the waited for Blair's limo driver, Harvey to get there.
