The room was still silent from shock. All eyes peered towards Serena, like she was this criminal who just stole everything right from under them. That she was this girl who put Seth in his grave. She wished that this was all a dream and that she could go home and live her life with Dan, not caring about this people anymore. She was a compassionate person but this family had given her every reason in the world to hate them, but she had to tough it up.
"What? How could this be?" Elaine shrieked.
"I don't want the money." Serens butted in.
"Sure play innocent. I'm sure you told him money would buy your silence." Elaine grew angry.
"I'm sure there is an explanation honey." Richard tried to calm her down.
"How could you do this to him. He loved you."
"You honestly think I would do that to him. Without sounding too rude, I don't need his money."
"But I know someone you know who does."
"Lady you're crazy."
"Enough!" Richard yelled. He finally got everyone to just shut up for a second. "My son just died, and all you guys care about is who did what. I lost my only child. This is the last thing he would want, so for just one second can you just stop thinking about yourself and think of Seth and what he wants.
"For the record I did love him, and I'm sorry for your lost. Keep everything I don't want it, but I also don't think it's best if we don't keep in contact, it's just too hard for everyone. I'll leave." Serena picked up her bag and left.
Serena opened the door and showed herself the way out. She went in the town car and headed back towards the apartment. She didn't understand Seth's letter. Was he stirring things up? Was he playing games? Or did he really want to give everything away to a person who helped him? She just wanted to be done with this all. Richard texted her thank you for coming and that they will repsect her wishes to never see each other but still he wanted to give her the money. Serena replied that she didn't want the money and that Seth was just trying to be noble but she couldn't accept that big of a gift. She ignored the rest of the texts and calls.
After taking a long nap since no one was home to talk to, Serena got up and made her way to the fridge. Looking at all this food made her sick. She put her hand over her mouth and ran. Serena fell into the bathroom near the toilet. Never had she felt these pains before. She picked herself up and buried her head between her hands. She started to moan. She heard the door open and screamed for Blair, Dan would be gone till late night.
"B! Come here quick."
"S, what's wrong?" Blair replied as she pushed open the door.
"I think I'm pregnant."
"Oh S. How do you know?"
"I've been throwing up, feel tired, can't look at food."
"It could be the flu or something."
"How could this of happened?" Serena began to cry.
"It's a miracle." Elaine pushed the door open.
"How did you..where did you...."
"I came to apologize. I found out that you're not the reason for my problems. But this baby will save my family."
"Um excuse me miss thing. How do you now it's your son's?" Blair jumped in.
"I feel it."
"Elaine, I'm not...it's not..."
"Serena we'll talk later. I have to tell the family."
"Wait! Don't!" Serena yelled. "Let me go to a doctor's and find out for sure."
"Fine. I can respect that. You don't want to get my hopes up, besides this home test can be wrong. We'll chat later." Elaine made her way to the front door.
The next day Blair and Serena got up before Dan and went to the doctor. Serena decided not to tell Dan what happened. If she wasn't really pregnant she didn't want to worry him, and with Elaine on their backs she didn't want to worry him even more.
Serena slipped the gown on gave a blood sample and waited. The waiting felt like an eternity. Blair flipped through ten magazines. She didn't want to think about her best friend, who only finished half a year of college, being pregnant.
"Well you are indeed pregnant." The doctor walked in with all these charts.
"Oh God."
"You do have a few options. There's abortion, adoption, and of course keeping it. I'll let you think."
"S, just get rid of it. Dan will never know, Elaine will be out of your life forever, it's perfect."
"I can't kill Dan's baby. Our baby."
"Than what will you do with Mommy Dearest."
"Tell her the truth."
"When has that ever worked out?"
"I'll tell her I wasn't pregnant than I'll leave London. Never come back."
"Yea, but there's the part where it works out in your head but not in real life."
Serena picked up the phone. She called Elaine and Dan. Dan was shocked at first but was supportive and brave. Elaine had cheerful tone in her voice when Serena called. Elaine hung up before Serena could even finish.
"We may have a problem."
