Clutching her side, the pain was unbearable as the blood started to seep through her fingers.

Flinching she was absolutely terrified, she'd never been this frightened in her entire life.

Her ears were ringing instantly as her eyes flickered open she felt the warm splatter of blood had covered and began to trickle down her face "Chuck?" her voice broke and uttered petrified.

"Is dead" was all she heard before another gunshot rang out through the house.

4 hours earlier

"We've got the proof Mr Bass," he said placing the photos down on the coffee table in front of him as Chuck couldn't help but smile as he picked them up.

"We've got a recording too of a conversation she's had with someone, unsure yet on the identity yet but looks like someone's behind this Mr Bass, someone's paying her a lot of money"

"So it was all a lie?"

"She's never been pregnant"

"It was fake this whole time" he confirmed to himself, scanning the photos of her putting on and wearing a fake baby bump.

"The appointments she's been having?"

"Has never been to any, she's been at home taking calls"

"From whoever has paid her?"

"Yes"

"How soon till you find out who?"

"2-3 hours and I'll have the answer for you"

"What do you think? It's adorable right?" Serena smiled holding up a tiny white baby grow.

"Is this you asking if you can buy it?"

"Maybe"

"Fine"

"We need to start picking up"

"We'll be showered in gifts near the end"

"Look I know you are scared to get excited about it all again, I am too. But we promised ourselves and our therapist to try and slowly."

"Don't say it" Nate interrupted, "I know, I'm trying"

"I know you are," she said moving towards him and running her hand along his arm.

"I still, think about her"

"I do too"

"Then I look at you, this" he says placing his hand on her bump "and how I've managed to get so lucky you'd agree to spend the rest of your life with me"

"Nate" Serena said touched "It was the easiest yes of my life"

Nate smiled "Get it"

"Huh?"

"You're right, we need to start picking up a few things now, slowly"

"You don't have too"

"No, I do, we have to"

"If you're sure?"

"I am, I've got you, the two of you"

Serena just smiled, leaning up and kissing him. "You'll always have me, us"

"I love you, you know that?" "

I do, I love you too" they both smiled. "Lets get some diapers and go grab some lunch I'm starving"

"Deal" Nate smiled.

As they settled down, finishing off their coffee together three hours later.

Serena started messaging Blair as Nate's phone rang.

"Chuck? Sorry can you repeat that? I thought. You're not serious. Right. Where are you going? We'll come meet you now, Serena? Okay, okay. I promise, but you protect them on your own. Louis is a psychopath"

"Louis?!" Serena eyes widened.

"I can't let you go and face him on your own, let me come and help you. I can be there within the hour," he said checking his watch "we are across town. Okay, see you soon"

"What's happening?"

"It was all a lie, it was Louis. Look, I'll explain in the car but we need to pay and leave right now"

Walking around the conservatory water in Central Park she followed along the water as it began to lightly rain.

Taking in the quiet she watched the raindrops ripple against the water. It was peaceful and the fresh air she needed.

Stopping briefly she watched the ripple effect as the rain continued to hit the water.

Taking refugee under a tree sitting down on the park bench, she peered down at the ground mind racing with thoughts.

The past twelve weeks had been life changing on so many levels.

It felt like the world was still spinning while hers was falling apart. Looking down at her wedding ring her heart sank when she thought about him.

Her stomach fell into a deep pit just thinking about the photos, the pregnancy test, the signed divorce papers, the whole sorry mess.

After this morning, it just got a whole lot more complicated she sat and thought to herself.

"Thank you so much Doctor for fitting me in last minute"

"Not a problem at all, so have you checked"

"No" she cut him off instantly

"When was the last time you had sexual intercourse"

"eighty four days ago" she exclaimed removing the one 21 days previous, as the Doctor was a little confused by the accuracy of her response.

"Have you noticed anything different?"

"No"

"No missed period?" he asked as Blair went to reply before pausing suddenly, mouth agasp "Oh"

"Shall I take that as a yes?" Blair just froze.

"Okay, well lets see to be sure shall we?"

Blair's head just fell back as the Doctor started talking her through what he was doing.

Staring at the bright light above her she started to wonder if this was all a dream as she felt the doctor moving the cold jelly across her belly.

"We have a baby," the Doctor said excitedly. Then there it was, the confirmation.

"You are correct as well 12 weeks along"

Placing her hand instinctively against her tiny bump she let out a heavy sigh running her hand to her forehead and through her hair.

Getting up she made her way home, making her way through the crowds she was in a daze as the elevator doors opened up.

Walking through into her kitchen she put her bag down on the counter "Dorota, I'm back. I'll help you start cooking lunch now!" she said looking down on at her phone.

"We'll be over in an hour B, wont be long S x" smiling Blair replied back

"Can't wait to see you both. I'm helping Dorota make lunch B x"

"Your cooking? Me and Nate will pick up a take out on the way haha S x"

"Rude! B x" Blair laughed which felt like the first time in ages.

Placing her phone back into her bag she began looking through the folder of materials.

Flicking through them she ran her hand along the silks before picking up her bag to make her way to her it down on the desk she walked over to the half made designs as her phone buzzed on the desk.

Picking up the dress the placed it on the mannequin before stepping back to admire it before making some adjustments.

Half hour later and it was almost complete, she took a few steps back and smiled.

The hem needed a little work but it was near perfect she thought as she took the pin out of her mouth.

"Dorota, have you started on lunch yet? I'm starving!" she shouted placing the pin into her pocket.

"Dorota!" she shouted again, not getting any response.

Heavy sighing she made her way to the kitchen "Dorota" she turned the corner and the kitchen was empty, frowning in confusion she made her way upstairs.

As she reached the top of the stairs she was startled as her eyes widened "Dorota?" she asked concerned looking down to her collapsed on the floor, her instant thought Henry.

"Henry"

"He's fine, he's in his room playing" a voice came walking out of his room before she even moved.

Blair's eyes squinted "Katie" Blair spat angrily, "what the hell do you think you are doing in my house?"

"I've come to see you" she smiled, twisting the end of the sharp knife into her thumb.

"Henry!" Blair screamed

"Mommy?"

"You okay baby?"

"Yeah, Katie give me sweets and toys, I'm playing"

"Good, you stay in your room and don't come out until I tell you too okay?"

"Okay" "No matter what you hear, you stay in there okay until I tell you?" she shouted.

"Yes Mommy" he replied.

"What do you want Katie? What are you doing here? You've wrecked my marriage and ruined my life, isn't that enough for you?"

"No" she said blank expression "What else is there? I've got nothing, you've taken everything from me?"

"Not everything, you've got this perfect life and you don't even appreciate it. The loving husband, a son, your own company and the beautiful house, you don't know how lucky you are. You don't deserve any of it!" She shouted moving towards her.

"Look i'm sorry you feel the need to come here to rub it in my face but you won Katie"

"It's not over yet"

"What else is there?"

"I came to enjoy the party"

"What Party?" Blair was so confused as the elevator pinged

"Blair!" Chuck shouted as he run out.

"Chuck?"

"Blair?" he shouted running up the stairs before freezing as his left foot hit the top.

"Katie"

"Hey" she said knife pressed to Blair's neck as her body was pressed into hers.

"Katie I know the truth, I know your not pregnant" Blair's eyes just opened wide as Chuck nodded at her.

"I know Louis paid you, how much?"

"Why should I tell you"

"A lot huh?" "Maybe"

"Why, why do it?"

"Because she loves me" a voice came from behind him as he felt some cold hard metal against his head.

Through gritted teeth "Louis"

"Nice to see you again"

"I'd like to say the feeling is mutual" Chuck said.

"Now" he started as he moving to his side with his gun to the front of Chuck's chest.

"Who's going to go first?"

"I will" Katie answered Louis.

"After everything they've done for you, this was the easiest way to get back to you. Watching you both self-destruct, falling apart knowing he'd knocked up somebody else. Kind of genius really"

"It worked out better than I could have hoped" Louis smiled, "Now you get to watch your world collapse around you," he said softly into Chucks ear as blair moved her hand into her pocket, trying to find her pin.

"It'll be my pleasure" Katie said pressing the knife into Blair's neck a little more before lifting it away.

"I'm pregnant!" she panicked as Chuck's eyes widened as her hand finally found the pin.

"What?" Chuck said shocked as he just stared into Blair's eyes kind of drowning out everything around them as a small smile crept onto his face.

She couldn't help but allow herself to smile back seeing the pure joy on his face as she nodded.

"How?"

"12 weeks" she smiled moving carefully to place her hand on the side of her bump.

"Guess we'll do it this way instead" Katie said moving the knife down towards Blair's bump.

"Don't" Chuck shouted as he went to run towards her. "Hey" Louis said pressing the gun firmly into his chest stopping him in his tracks.

"Katie, you know the rule. No kids"

"It's not?"

"Still" Louis shook his head.

"Screw it" she said moving the knife back, before suddenly everything happened within seconds.

As Blair threw her fist back pin in grip as Katie screamed in pain and pulled the knife across Blairs stomach before hearing a huge bang.

Within seconds Blair's eyes flickered, unsure of what just happened.

Clutching her side, the pain was unbearable as the blood started to seep through her fingers.

Flinching she was absolutely terrified, she'd never been this frightened in her entire life.

Her ears were ringing instantly as her eyes flickered open she felt the warm splatter of blood had covered and began to trickle down her face "Chuck?" her voice broke and uttered petrified. "Is dead" was all she heard before another gunshot rang out through the house.
