Disclaimer: I only own Miss Darcinda Ellis

Her Ring?

Darcy stopped by Austin's new job. She wanted to talk to him more about Brooke's diaries when she got to the building she noticed it was also Nate's.

"Archibald" she said spotting him as she walked in.

"What brings you by? Need Chuck advice?"
"Actually I came to see Austin."

"Yeah, he just walked into the boss's office."

"The one you're sleeping with?"

"Uh yeah" he said.

"I can't believe it didn't click. Wow Archibald. Really?"
"You know Diana?"

"Kind of yeah. We have history."

"Wanna grab lunch after I drop these off?" Nate asked.

"Can't. Blair asked me to stop by."

"So she can kill you?"

"Possibly. I never thought of that. Anyways if she does, take care of Bass for me."

"Well I can accept for one thing"

"Buy him a hooker then" she laughed and Nate shook his head at her and walked away. She spotted Austin and Diana walk out.

"Darcy Ellis" Diana said "I forgot you moved to the Upper East Side. Far away from my Austin here."

"Hey Diana."

"You should come work for me. Weren't you an excellent student in journalism?"

"I was 14, and I already own my own business. A hotel. Maybe you've heard of it. The Empire?"

"Right, Austin mentioned that. Didn't you sweetie?"

"Yeah, um so what brings you by Darc?"

"Right. Um I came to tell you that I decided to publish the diaries after all. Daniel Humphrey. Author of 'Inside' will be helping me"

"Good" Austin said.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have a date with my possible killer." she responded then walked away.

She arrived at Blair's as Louis was leaving

"Um so you wanted to see me?" she said.

"I want you to compete to be a bridesmaid."

"Compete?"

"Please!"
"Blair, you and I have never been friends. So, being your bridesmaid seems so off. Plus I'm dating your ex and you slept with him while we were whatever it was."

"I'm sorry about that."

"I know, and don't be I slept with Austin. My ex from Hollywood."

"Please Darcy!"
"No Blair I'm sorry. Not happening"

"Fine" she said.

"Congrats by the way. On the baby" she said but she did feel a little hurt. She got what Chuck was talking about with the making him feel.

"Thank you" she said "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine" Darcy responded. "Promise"

Darcy left and began walking through the park to clear her head. Out of the corner of eye she saw Louis with Chuck's shrink. She shook it off and began walking some more through the park. She thought she'd be okay seeing Blair pregnant but now she was just missing what she almost had. She hailed a cab and got to the Empire. She got up to the penthouse as the shrink was leaving.

"A house call?" she asked.

"Yeah I resolved some issues."

"Which one?" she asked.

"Har Har Ellis." he said.

"I'm kidding Bass." she said grabbing his hand.

"I got rid of the ring," he said and she smiled knowing what he was talking about.

"Her ring?" she asked excited.

"Yeah" he said and she kissed him. "How was your day?"

"Well what a day it has been. Um it started with, I learned something new about your roommate"

"Which one?" He asked.

"Nate" she said but got what he was saying. "Anyways, you know the boss he's sleeping with?"

"Yeah"

"Austin's aunt who once told me that Austin was going nowhere with me."

"Wow, what else happened?"

"I saw Blair, and it was harder than I thought"

"The baby?"

"Yeah" she said "Oh and speaking of the baby and Blair. Um I think I saw your shrink talking to Louis."

"Really?"

"I don't exactly know what it was about but I was too focused on my thoughts on what ifs."

"We will get down to it" he said "You going to Nate's party?"

"Only if you're my date?"

"Always" he said kissing Darcy. "Now let's follow a shrink"

They headed to the park and Chuck spotted Louis paying Dr. Barnes. Chuck got out his phone and called her after Louis walked away.

"Dr. Barnes its Chuck. I think I'm in trouble. Can you meet me tonight? The Spectator Party" he said then hung up.

Later they arrived at the party and someone took their picture at the entry. They got upstairs.

"Have I told you that you look beautiful tonight?" he whispered in her ear. They came up to Diana and Chuck shook her hand. "I want to offer my sincerest Congratulations. Chuck Bass"
"Diana Payne. So nice to meet you" Diana said.

"I'm sorry, have we met before?"
"Not that can I recall. Though I do know your date. Nice seeing you again Darcy"

"Of course" she smiled.

"It's funny just looking at you I could have sworn."

"I think I'd remember. You two enjoy the party" Diana said and walked away.

Darcy turned to him and he leaned down and kissed her.

"I know you don't like her but play nice for Nate"

"Well for Nate of course I will" she responded.

"Chuck" Louis said interrupting them.

"Your highness, always a pleasure" Chuck responded as they turned to Louis and Blair.

"Give it a rest Chuck" Blair said and they walked away.

"What was that about?" Darcy asked

"I honestly have no clue. Let's find us some drinks" he said putting a hand on her back and they went through the party running into Nate.

"Nate" she said hugging him.

"Nathaniel"

"So how's the night so far?" Darcy asked.

"Good. I came with Charlie"

"Not Diana?"

"No" Nate said "But it's not weird that I came here with Charlie?"

"Why would it?"

"I mean are you're kinda related"

"She's Serena's cousin not mine."

"Well then I will leave you two." Nate said "By the way I'm really happy you two are back."

"Us too" Darcy replied and Nate walked away.

"You would so rather him date Charlie then Diana"

"Yeah, I actually like Charlie. Nate's my best friend. I want what's best for him. Always have."

"Same" Chuck said and they spotted the doctor.

"So you know how you're gonna confront her?"

"With my Queen at my side' he said and she smiled kissing him.

Diana got everyone's attention and they all turned to her.

"I know the night's still young and the bar's still open, but I wanted to take a moment to thank everybody for coming. It means so much to me to know that if a bomb went off right this second, New York media would be over. We are going to be different from "Gossip Girl" and other anonymous sites which traffic in damaging rumours and innuendo." Diane said then stopped talking. Darcy looked over at Nate kissing Charlie then smiled. "I'm sorry. Where was I? Um 'The Spectator" is only going to print facts. If you did it, you deserve to get caught, and we're gonna catch you. So with apologies to my other esteemed editors, starting tonight, I'm gonna be poaching your best reporters and stealing all your best stories."

"I have a story for you." Chuck said stepping forward.

"So let's hear it, Mr. Bass."

"My therapist, Dr Eliza Barnes, has been using hypnosis to coerce me into performing unspeakable acts."

"I am Dr Barnes, and I promise you that none of this is true. Its okay, Chuck. Y-you're in a very vulnerable psychological state right now."

"I wonder why?!" Chuck yelled "Maybe because I just found out you were taking money to reveal confidential information about me."

"Now that's a story I can print" Diana said. "If you have proof."

"Chuck stop why are you doing this?" Blair asked.

"If you don't believe me, you should ask your fiancé. He's the one that paid her."

Darcy walked over to Chuck and kissed him then grabbed his hand.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"I care about you, I am proud of you. And I admire you"

"Let's get out of her" he said "I want to show my girlfriend how much I admire her too"

"I like that plan" she said and they headed downstairs running into the doctor. "I'll see you outside."

"Okay" he said kissing her.

Darcy walked outside and ran into Austin.

"Hey" she said.

"Hey" he replied.

"Why are you out here?"

"I could ask you the same thing?" he said shivering. "New York Fall is a little different then L.A's"

"Yeah it took me a while to get use too" she said "I'm waiting for Bass."

"Right" he replied "I was avoiding you, but we see how that worked."

"Avoiding me?"

"I never stopped loving you"

"You're drunk Austin. You don't know what you're saying."

"No I know." He said looking at her.

"You married Brooke"

"And if I hadn't?"

"What I felt for you, what I felt for Nate. None of those feelings compare to what I feel for Bass."

"You love him?"
"Yeah I do, I really do. I just wish that I could say those words to tell him I do. He's my soulmate"

"I'm happy for you then" Austin said as the door opened and Chuck walked out.

"You ready?" Chuck asked then noticed Austin "Good seeing you Austin"

"Yeah" Austin replied "You too"

"Let's go" Darcy smiled then turned back to Austin "I really hope you find her. That girl that makes you feel the way I do right now"

"Thanks Darc"

She smiled then her and Chuck walked away.

"So I need to make a couple stops first" he said.

"Where too first?"

"Blair's"

'Okay, let's go" she smiled.

They got to Blair's and Darcy decided to stay downstairs. It was hard for her to see Blair pregnant. It really was. When Chuck was done he met her downstairs.

"Now where?" she asked.

"Harry Winston. The doctor gave me the ring back"

She nodded and they headed off. They arrived at building and he set it on the stairs and turned to Darcy.

"Something on your mind?" he asked her.

"I should've said yes" she said

"No you shouldn't have" he said "But one day you will. With the right ring and the perfect Henry and Sara worthy proposal."

"Promise?" she asked and he nodded. She leaned up and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm glad were back"

"Me too" he said then picked her up "Now let's get you home. I promised you an incredible night in bed"

"Take me home Chuck Bass" she said kissing him again. He twirled her around.
