A/N: Very short chapter. I need to get this out of the way in order to set a few things up. Enjoy and review =).
What do you mean we have a problem?" Blair had a look of fear on her face.
"Elaine thinks I'm pregnant."
"But you are."
"Yes but it's Dan. I have to tell her I'm not."
"So then do it."
"I'm a horrible liar. I can't even lie to Dan when I forget to buy food."
"Then write a letter. Tell her it was too painful to say in person."
Just as Serena went to respond Dan walked in. He grabbed Serena's arm and kissed it. He ran his fingers through her hair and just glared at Blair to leave.
"I can't believe this is real."
"I know. I never planned on a baby."
"Our baby."
"Did you tell your dad?"
"Yes and he'll call me back after he gets up from fainting."
"Your dad will come around."
"Oh I'm not worried about him, he just needs to realize it's happening. You take care of Elaine?"
Before Serena could answer the doctor walked in. He gave her vitamins and the number to another doctor. She asked if she needed to stay overnight for her pains but the doctor said she should be fine within the morning. Dan left the room to let Serena get changed. He texted his boss and told him that his newest article would be a little late. Serena asked Dan to drop her off at a store near Seth's house. She wanted Dan to think everything was already taken care of.
Serena knocked on the manor door. She noticed there were no cars around. She hoped no one was home, but she wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.
"Serena!" Elaine threw her arms around her.
"We have missed you."
"Seriously?"
"The fights are in the past, stress isn't good for a baby."
"But I'm not pregnant."
"Non sense, I can see it in the way you walk."
"Elaine I was going to write a letter, but felt face to face was better. The test was false, I'm not carrying Seth's child."
"Then it's Dan's isn't it."
"There's no baby. I wish for your sake there was." Serena lied right through her teeth.
Elaine began to cry. She walked into the living room and sunk into a couch. She hugged a pillow as if it would provide some sort of comfort.
"I'm sorry."
"No you're not. Just take the money and go."
"I told you I don't want it."
"He froze the funds for you. Take it and throw it away for all I care. Just leave."
Serena picked up the money and left. She walked a few blocks to try and clear her head. In a poor town just outside Londo she found a homeless person on a bench and gave her a few dollars. The sign read "Struggling Writer with voices in head."(there's your money Steph =P) Serena avoided eye contact.
Serena stuck her key in the door and found Dan glued to his laptop. He was trying to finish the story on time so they could catch a flight home.
"How did everything go? You honestly think I'll leave you in a store alone?"
"She's on to us."
"Well let's leave."
"Maybe we should just give them the baby, we can have others."
"But it's not Seth's it's mine. And we're keeping it."
"You're right, I wasn't thinking."
Dan packed the bags and drove to the airport. They sat down on the bench with their hands locked together. Am an approached them with an envelope. He dropped it and ran away. They just looked at each other before opening it.
