"Excuse me your what?" Eleanor asked her daughter in shock. Blair had come over for tea, when she in the middle of a conversation about her mother's new spring line, dropped the bomb. She was carrying Chucks child.
"I'm pregnant" Blair said, looking down into her lap. She had just texted Chuck, begging him to come. She knew, he wouldn't be able to do much but at least her mother wouldn't kill her when Chuck was there. Would she?
Her mother shock her head, "and where is he? Was he too scared to face me?" her mother asked, Blair hadn't expected her to react this way at all. She took a deep breath, how would she explain, the fact her and Chuck had gotten into a huge argument this morning.
"well mother you se..." she was cut off before she was able to finish.
"I'm right here Mrs. Rose" Chuck walked into the room, dressed in a flawless Armani suit. He walked over to were Blair sat in a sofa opposite her mother.
"Hey Darling, I'm sorry it took so long. It had to call my Chinese department three times" Chuck smoothly saved it, and to Blair's big surprise her mother was smiling. Chuck had a way of charming everyone.
her thoughts were interrupted when she felt him peck her lips and sit down beside her. Blair looked at her mother, who's smile grew rapidly.
"So Charles, Blair just told me your expanding your family" Her mother laughed, now Blair was really shocked.
Chuck smiled, taking Blair's hand, lying their joined hands on her flat stomach. Blair almost forget that she was mad at him.
"Yes, and we know its sudden, since we just got married and all but it's a love child none the matter" chuck said, smiling at the older woman.
"Hey Darling, Blair and Chuck always a pleasure" Cyrus deep voice ran throughout the room as he entered, walking over to Eleanor placing a kiss on her cheek, sitting down.
"Cyrus, Blair and Chuck are expecting a child" Eleanor said happily.
Cyrus broke out into a huge smile, getting up from his chair.
"Congratulations" he said, shining like a star, he walked over, shaking Chucks hand and kissing Blair on the cheek twice. Before returning to the seat beside Eleanor.
"That's amazing news" he said, still smiling. "It will be the most beautiful baby in the world"
Blair smiled, and felt Chuck squeeze her hand. she looked up at him and smiled, their fight forgotten.
They enjoyed a great afternoon with Eleanor and Cyrus before they returned home in the evening.
They hadn't talked about the argument at all and after all it was stupid because who really did fight about wheatear or not their child should be named Audrey if it was a girl.
Blair had said, that if they had a girl she should be called Audrey but Chuck had disagreed and they had gotten into a huge argument. She didn't really know why but everything he said made her totally freak out because Chuck had wanted to name her Misty after his mother.
They were sitting in the living room off Blair's apartment, Chuck was in a sofa with his laptop on his legs, texting like crazy. Blair was in a chair, curled up with a blanket over her watching a movie.
They hadn't spoken much, they were just sitting in peace.
It was another 20 minutes before one of them spoke. It was Chuck, he had put his laptop down on the coffee table between the sofas, and was now looking up at Blair.
"You win, if it's a girl then we call her Audrey!" Chuck said, followed by a long deep sighn.
Blair looked at him surprised before she shook her head. "No it doesn't matter, Misty is fine" she said.
Chuck looked at her confused, "Bu this morning you got all mad at me because..." she cut him off.
"...That was then, maybe I changed my mind, is there anything wrong with that?" Blair fired at him. She didn't now what was going on, she just suddenly felt a rush of hate towards him run through her.
Chuck looked at her frustrated and shock his head, "You can't be serious. your getting hormonal already?" he fired back.
Blair looked at him hurt, how dare he, she was carrying a child for god's sake, his child as a matter of fact.
"Go to hell" she said pissed off turning away from him.
"Blair please..." he tried but she interrupted him.
"No I don't want to hear it, you can sleep at Serena's or in the guest bedroom" she told him, not even looking at him.
Chuck looked at her confused, he was scared, if she was going to be like this for 8 months he would have to kill himself.
"Blair don't do this, we were doing so well" chuck tried his best to get her back to normal.
"No Chuck, don't you get it. this is an act, we are only married because we can't get a divorce and now the only thing keeping us together is the baby" she said harshly. Chuck felt something inside him break.
He had really believed they had moved past that.
"Blair, you don't mean that" he said, hoping she would take it all back and tell him she loved him.
"I'm deadly serious and now Chuck before you make things worse would you please leave, we can talk tomorrow I'm not in the mood to discuss with you" she said, still avoiding eye contact.
He looked at her for a few seconds before deciding it would probably be better to leave her alone for the night, to think.
"fine, I'm going to sleep at Serena's house, but I'm coming back tomorrow and we have to talk" he said before getting up, starting to walk towards the door.
"Chuck..." she said, he turned around hoping she would run into his arms and everything would be good, but she didn't.
"could you please ask Dorota to bring me some marshmallows with nutella, I have a weird craving for them" she said before turning back to her movie. Chuck smiled to himself as he walked out.
Craving marshmallows with nutella, this sure would be one hell of a pregnancy, he laughed to himself, before packing a few things and telling Darota what Blair had said. And then he was off, he had just called Serena and she was happy to let him sleep in their guestroom when he explained how Blair was hormonal.
So he went off to Serena's and spend the night there in their guest bedroom. He didn't sleep well though, he felt as if something was really wrong, and then the bed wasn't nearly as comfortable as Blair's.
When he woke up in the morning, his body was sore from all the turning and he wasn't even close to having slept enough.
He went into the kitchen were Serena was sitting eating some bread and Dan was reading the paper while drinking coffee. he sighed that how he wanted it to be like with him and Blair, simple, easy and perfect.
"G'morning" he said, sitting down beside Serena, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
She looked up from her food, "Good morning, Dorota called about 20 minutes ago, she sounded quite upset but she wouldn't say anything to me, she just asked me to tell you to call her" Serena said, giving him their phone.
Chuck suddenly felt nervous, maybe he had been right, maybe something was really wrong.
He quickly dialed the number and pressed the phone to his ear, standing up walking away from he table.
The phone was answered by a panicking Dorota.
"Mr. Bass it you?" she asked
"Yes Dorota it's me, what's wrong, is Blair okay?" he asked worried.
he felt his world fall apart as she answered; "No, Mrs. Blair not okay".
