Authors note: Thank you so much for all of your reviews. This is the last chapter but the author's not at the bottom will tell you more. The son is Fall For You by: Secondhand Serenade of course. Personally I think this is the PERFECT Dan/Serena song as of now.

His thoughts felt completely rambled, everything was hitting him at once. Everything was a blur as he grabbed the closest button down shirt off the end of his bed and threw it on buttoning it as he followed the two guys that he'd never exactly gotten along with in the past. Numbness seemed to be rushing threw every pore in his body. Serena was falling apart, Serena was hurting, Serena was slowly killing herself. He's jumped to so many conclusions, he'd thought she'd moved on. How could Dan have been quite so wrong?

Maybe if he'd looked a little closer that night he would have seen her emotional pain. He'd been to blinded with resentment to even think of her pain. They were one in the same. Both mourning the loss of each other and trying to find something else to disguise it. Serena had gone to drugs, gone back to drugs. The drugs were yet another thing in her past that he hadn't known about. He'd fallen into Vanessa, thinking that she could help him get threw it all. He'd used her and made their friendship as far away as he could have managed.

Then there was the case of the baby, Serena was pregnant. It was a word that in a way sounded so foreign to his mind. They'd actually created another life. Even in their carelessness something had come from how much he loved her and vise versa.

Why hadn't he seen it? He should have paid more attention to her, she really needed him and she really meant it when she said they were forever.

"Lets go asshole, we don't have much time"

Chucks obnoxious voice cut threw the clutter in his mind. That was right, he needed to get to the hospital. As quick as he could before it was to late. Serena needed him to be there. he was sure of it. She had to if both Nate and Chuck had come to get him.

"Chuck, can you lay off"

Dan's eyes rolled as he followed them out the door forgetting to even so much as say goodbye to Jenny. Who was now alone due to their father being on tour with the rest of the band. He wasn't exactly in the thinking state of mind.

"Lay off him Chuck, he's going threw the same thing's as S right now."

Nate spoke up soon as he'd hung up his cell phone and placed it back in his pocket. He seemed on edge yet trying to remain calm.

"I just don't want to see the low rent here hurt Serena more then he already has. How are we supposed to trust him with that one? He already knocked her up. "

Chuck rambled on as if Dan weren't standing with them. Dan wasn't the least bit surprised by it. After all Chuck had always treated him and said the same things about him. They would always be two people that wouldn't get along. Dan knew all to well that he didn't fit in with the UES crowd, but it didn't nor would it ever stop him from loving Serena more then anything else on earth.

The limo was already right outside waiting, door open with the driver waiting for them to get in. Dan hated limos. He hated the idea of being in one with Nate and Chuck. They made him feel inadequate, which he was sure Chuck loved doing.

As the limo started to move and Chuck downed his third shot Dan felt his nerves begin to rise them selves to his throat.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

The seemingly heartless nurse had been treating Serena like she was a child who'd screwed up more then anyone else ever had. She was rough with her when she look her blood pressure. Serena was also positive that she'd had an arm of purple and blue from the needles from taking blood and the IV and banana bag to rush the rest of the rest of the toxins out of her. she was freezing, her fever up higher then normal, achy still. She'd finally lost her need for the drugs, especially when they put her in the dilemma she was in. the monitor was tightly wrapped around her stomach, keeping track of the other heartbeat far less strong then her own.

How the hell had she done this to herself? How's she done this to it? It was depending on her and now she wasn't quite sure if she could depend on herself. She'd truly fucked up. She could feel it with every move she made, her back was bothering her also.

"Hey S"

Blair peaked her head in the door, her best friend hadn't been herself in months, but today she saw how delicate and breakable she really was. Serena didn't respond to her, Serena's eyes simply stayed glued to the monitor. The black background with the scratched grey outline of the object fighting with everything it had. The faint washing machine sound had Serena entranced more then the image on the screen.

"Sweetie, it's ok."

Blair whispered as she reached for Serena's hands only to notice it was resting on the lump she'd refused to acknowledge at any other time. She'd never seen Serena look so grown up and so child like at the same time. Like her world was spinning and it was the only thing she could hold onto to keep it all from falling apart. Putting her perfectly manicured hand on Serena's shoulder she lightly squeezed, just to let her know that she wasn't alone. Though she still wanted to kill Cabbage Patch for even putting her into the problems she was having she could see how much she loved Dan. It was written all over her broken face, and all over the screen before them.

"I can't believe I did this B, I can't believe I'm laying here. It wasn't supposed to be like this."

Her horse choked up voice whispered as her wrecked, gloomy, sorrowful blue eyes stayed steady on the monitors grainy image. The coke baggy Chuck had extracted from her pocket when Blair and he had helped her change was far from her mind. For the first time since the aftermath of her mother's wedding she didn't want the drugs. She was actually resenting them. She was changing, this was changing her. into someone at the moment she was ready to become.

"you did irrational things S. you made dumb choices and stupid mistakes. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that you're doing a wonderful job. Because I think you've done some really shitty things lately. You could have lost your life with your behavior, not to mention what you're doing to that."

Blair's tone was even and still even as she laid it into Serena hard. Serena needed a wake up call she needed to make sure that the possibility of the washing machine's beat stopping completely was a total possibility. It could happen at any second and there was nothing anyone could do about it now.

"I know, I, I screwed up."

Serena's eyes finally left the screen to move down to her hands. Looking and wishing wasn't going to make anything go away but she could always try. Try to wish it all away, try to wish it all better, try to wish Dan there cradling her in his arms. She needed him to hold her. needed him to whisper that everything was going to be alright.

"Screwed up isn't even covering it S, this isn't like sleeping with Nate, or Pete overdosing. This isn't even like Georgina coming back. Your Pregnant Serena, you took narcotic after narcotic, you did drugs, you drank. All things that Lily tried to send you away for, the things you went to boarding school to get away from. You over use Serena, you not only put yourself in danger your killing the one thing you should be using to turn everything around.."

Tears were pricking her eyes again, they were building up more and faster. Blair was right, she was self destructive to the point of ending. It was effecting everyone around her. all she wanted was it all to stop, for everything to just turn around and get better.

"B, I think I need some time alone"

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

Her lip was quivering, it was the before hand of a breakdown. She needed to be alone, she just needed to be alone and cry it all out. No thinking, no remembering the things she'd done wrong, she just needed to be in the moment. Curling her knees up to her chest as far as they could over her stomach she flinched her body away from Blair needed just to be alone.

Blair stood against the doorway looking in on Serena, she felt guilty about what she'd done and how hostile she'd been. But Serena needed to see what she'd done was wrong. She couldn't be babied anymore. After letting the guy in the ally lay his scummy hands all over her body Blair didn't want to see it happen again.

"How is she?"

She felt Chucks hands on her arms and automatically she leaned back against his chest. Regardless if they fought all the time Blair just needed him to be sweet, butterflies, Chuck for a moment in time. He obliged as he kissed the top of his head. He did have a heart he just neglected to use it at points.

"I yelled at her, and I don't think I should have."

She confessed as Nate and Dan both started to be coming into view. Blair sneered as Chuck leaned his head down to her ear.

"Be nice B, he didn't do anything. Regardless if he's a jackass."

That hadn't ever kept Blair down in the past and it sure as hell wasn't going to keep her down this time. She wanted Dan to feel as lousy as she'd made Serena feel. After all he deserved it also. It took two to start it.

"Is she… are they alright?"

his voice made Blair want to be violent, as she thrust herself out of Chuck's grip only to be caught by Nate.

"Don't do this Blair"

He whispered warningly knowing it wasn't going to do any good. The only thing he could do was make sure she didn't try and punch him.

"You stupid, selfish, son of a bitch. Who the fuck do you think you are leaving her alone in the state she fell into, I blame you for this, I swear, if she didn't love you so much I would run you and your reputation stealing sister right out of the city."

Dan stood there taking all of her words in and not trying to defend himself or joke his way out of anything. He really didn't care what she had to say to him. The only thing he wanted was to was hold Serena in his arms. Plan to the future with her, they were forever as she liked to say.

"The second you upset her, I swear to god I will make you wish you never touched her."

It was then that Blair noticed that Dan was no longer paying her any mind. He was standing against the door way looking in at Serena. All three of them could see the lonely, lost, missing look in Dan's eyes. It was much the same as the look in Serena's also.

His eyes fell upon her fragile figure lying in the cold white hospital bed. He hated hospitals and he knew she did also. It'd been one of their random talks long ago. Back when they'd actually exhausted every topic under the sun. Now as he watched her his eyes glued to her body in a sobbing ball, head tucked into arms tightly, knees in a fetal position he knew exactly what she was feeling. The same feelings were crushing his own heart into a million little pieces. She'd let Serena down, he'd let them down.

All of his anger about her not telling him things, his distress over the things he'd done with Georgina, and how he'd jumped to conclusions over Nate carrying her broken body all washed away the moment he saw her co completely torn up. She hadn't even looked up at the door. He knew her well, she didn't care who else was around. She was hurt and grieving.

Dan didn't care how she would react or what she would do as he slightly shaking from nerves edged closer to her bed. He put his hand on the curve of her hip, a paced he'd longed for months to touch. She still gave him the butterflies. How much he loved her wasn't even a question. She didn't flinch for a moment, she didn't even turn to look at him. Almost like she was to guilty to.

He got into the small hospital bed beside her pulling her closer to him and forcing her to turn around, his arms held onto her tightly as she nestled herself into his chest. Dan kissed Serena's forehead and ran his fingers threw her long matted blonde hair.

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

Note #2: since I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to end it I've decided not to. Instead I'm going to turn it into two sequels! They should be up shortly. I had so much fun writing this and I'm hoping that you'll all read the next ones or one. Thank you all again!
