Authors Note: Thank you for all your reviews, it brings this smile too my face and makes me clap my hands like an excited little girl on christmas morning. I've been a bit busy lately, okay not really but thats what everyone says when they haven't updated, and I couldn't update right away. But here it is, the third chapter. This story will only last 9 or so chapters as well.
Disclaimer: I still don't own gossip girl.
"Mum, what the hell happened at dinner tonight?" Audrey questioned her mother. Her mother had acted like a complete bitch starting a fight with a little girl and then bantering with her father. It was also something that scared her, the fact her mother had a life before her.
"What ever do you mean?" Blair asked her daughter innocently, blinking her long, lashes. Her eyes going back to the gossip magazine in her hand. Serena and Nate had an article in it, that she was reading. It was actually sort of funny, they were talking about how apparently Nate was having an affair.
"The former cougar, was a man-whore in his youth and a source tells us, it hasn't stopped since he's aged. He's been seen coming in and out of different hotels. A brunette nearly always coming out fifteen minutes or so after him. Another source informs us that his relationship with his actress wife Serena has been over for quite some time and their lawyers are drawing up divorce papers-"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. So answer me!" Audrey screamed, while pacing back and forth across the Waldorf Estates living room. Blair let out a sigh and turned to face her daughter, she was acting as if she was the parent and Blair was the child even if Blair had never endured this kind of contact before when she was a child, her mother questioning her like this, unless it was to do with her appearance and her parents wondered why she had developed an eating disorder.
"Stop acting like you're the mother" Blair shot back, raising her eyebrows and dropping the magazine on the table. Audrey stopped pacing and stared at her mother. It was like looking at a stranger. Her mum had never spoken too her like that. Never.
"Fine. I guess your different then I thought you were. When can I met my grandmother, so I can go back home?" Audrey said calmly. Her voice breaking at the end.
"Eleanor will be back from Paris tomorrow night. I told you that this morning" Blair answers. Ignoring the comment about her not being who her daughter that she was. She hadn't even spent a week in the Upper East Side and she was already falling into old habits.
"I'm sorry, Aud. It's just weird being back. I feel like a teenager again" Blair confided in her, honestly. Audrey walked over too where her mum sat on the couch and plopped down next too her. She leant her head against her mum's shoulder and smiled.
"It's OK mummy"
"You guys are seriously insane" Chuck hissed in fear of waking Blair up if he screamed. She was sleeping peacefully in the room down the hall and didn't want to wake her up. Serena didn't even bother taking her eyes off of the movie she was watching on the tv screen. Nate on the other hand did, an apologetic smile on his face.
"I'm sorry man" Nate apologies, shrugging his shoulders. Serena lets out a groan and pauses the movie she was watching. She turns to face Chuck, a serious expression gracing her face.
"Chuck. You need to move on. It's been what sixteen years? She's moved on. She's got a boyfriend and a kid. We didn't think you would be this mad" Serena confesses.
"Actually fifteen years but I think I might take your advice, Sis" Chuck mocks, rolling his eyes at Serena. He swipes up a glass of scotch from off of the coffee table and drowns it in one go before exiting the room and going straight too his bedroom, trying not to disturbe anyone on his way. At times he didn't mind Serena and Nate staying at his place, while their house was being re-done but at the moment he couldn't think of anything worse. He flopped down on his bed and grabbed his laptop from off of the floor and put it on his lap. He typed in the URL of a website he had visited in years.
Queen B's back?
It's only been 3 years since I said goodbye and that I wouldn't ever return but our Queen has and this is just too juicy too go un-noticed. This post will lack my humor because we just want the dirty facts at the moment, don't we? Our queen was seen at JFK earlier on today, sporting an outfit that looked more target then prada and she had a teenager trailing behind her. So B's a mother now? And she didn't even bother hiding behind a pair of shades. What will her friends feel about her sudden return? Happy, relieved, or just plain mad? After all she pulled a Serena and left without saying goodbye and now she's back supposedly without saying a word. Oh dear, what happened too our Queen? It looks like someone may of striped her from her crown.
Don't expect another update unless something actually happens.
GG.
Chuck re-reads the post at least six times. He studies the picture, looking at the woman he once loved, still loves. She looked different at dinner but she looks even more different here. He types her name into google and thousands of things pop up. He clicks on one that happens to be a blog. Her blog. His heart skips a beat as he reads the blog, he can't help the smile that comes too his lips until he sees a post of her and her boyfriend and he feels like he might vomit. Serena had mentioned it earlier before, but this, this was too much to handle. They look happy, too happy. He clicks out and pushes his laptop towards the end of the bed.
"Hey S" Blair breathed into the phone. She had picked it up on the third ring only to find her old best friend to be the caller.
"What are you doing later tonight?" Serena asked her, all too eagerly.
Blair looked behind her at the clock in her bedroom. It read ten forty-six.
"Serena. It's ten forty" Blair whined, flopping down on her bed. Blair glanced over at her bedroom door to find Audrey standing there, waiting patiently for her too get off the phone.
"So? I'm coming over as I speak and I'm dragging the guys along. Were going to watch Tiffany's and eat a ton of junk and play dress ups and have lots of fun, like in high school. Were going too have an epic Non Judging Breakfast Club Moment" Serena squealed from on the other end.
"I have a daughter, S. I'm not sixteen anymore" Blair whined.
"I wasn't even around when you were. Hold on, were coming. Nate, go get Chuck and Tiffany's and raid the cupboard of food! Bye B" And with that Serena had hung up. Blair turned to face her daughter who had decided to walk right into the room.
"Whats up?" Audrey asked calmly. Blair flashed her a fake smile and put her heads in her hands.
"Nothing. Go too bed. Now" Blair ordered, not even bothering to look up to watch her daughter waltz out of the room.
