A/N hey guys! So I was meant to write a story about season five and the mess it's been so far but Windchimes of Maple gave me an awesome idea for another MG oneshot and I couldnt get it out of my head. I kinda like how I turned out and I hope you guys like it as well.

You dont need to know anything about Misguided Ghosts other than the fact that Nate and Serena are married, and they have three children, Summer, Liam and Melinda

Please enjoy and dont forget to review

Until next time(^^,)

"Hey sweetheart," Serena said leaning down to kiss her husbands lips. "I'm going to read Melinda a story and go to bed, Liam is playing his games and Summer will be back before twelve, don't wait for her."

"I still think that twelve is a terrible curfew time," Nate said. "It's too late, Audrey's is eleven, maybe we should learn from Chuck and Blair."

"She's sixteen Nate, we can't be too hard on her," Serena reminded him. "Audrey doesn't mind her curfew because she's like Blair, she uses her nights for scheming."

"That still doesn't mean Summer can't come in earlier," Nate mumbled.

"She's growing up babe, she's old enough to be out till twelve on a Friday night," Serena told him leaning down to kiss him again.

"That doesn't mean she has to stop spending time with her old man," Nate said looking down. "I just miss her."

"I know Natie," Serena said hugging him. "It's a phase, it will pass."

"Are you sure? Because it just looks like she wants to spend less time with us and more time with boys," Nate said.

"She's not as stupid as I was," Serena murmured. "Don't come up to bed too late ok?"

"I'll try not to," Nate said and Serena shook her head at him.

Nate sighed and looked down at the stack of papers he still needed to get through before his meeting, by the time it was done, his eldest should be home, if not he was going looking for her.

By the time he finished his papers it was half past twelve and Summer had not walked through the doors. She usually called if she was over her curfew time to let her parents know that she'd be a little late so they won't worry.

Nate just grabbed his keys when the door opened slowly, he put down his keys and folded his arms across his chest, waiting for Summer to notice that he was there.

Summer closed the door carefully and was tip-toeing to the stairs when Nate cleared his throat and she screamed, Nate was so glad that his two younger kids were heavy sleepers and wouldn't even wake up to their sisters scream, Serena was another story.

"Dad, what are you doing there?" Summer questioned, clutching her sweater tighter around her body.

"I was waiting for you," he said raising an eyebrow. "You're late, you didn't call, I was worried."

"I'm fine daddy," she said sweetly, smiling at him and he frowned. "Ok I'm home, I'll go sleep now."

"Summer," Nate called but she was already half way up the stairs, groaning he turned the lights of and climbed the stairs after her. "I want an explanation."

"Dad you can't just come into my room, I could have been changing," Summer said, taking of her jewelry.

"The door was wide open I could see what you were doing," Nate said rolling his eyes and leaning against the doorframe. "I get it you're sixteen you want to do everything but when did you start breaking curfew?"

"It was only by half an hour daddy," Summer said sitting on her bed. "And this was the first time."

"I know, but you know your curfew time so why didn't you finish your date early?" Nate said his frown getting deeper letting her know that he was in full dad mode and he wanted answers from her.

"I did finish early, I just drove around for about an hour," Summer said ringing her hands together.

"I knew I shouldn't have gotten you that car," Nate mumbled and Summer bit her lip just like Serena always had. "Why couldn't you just come home?"

"I needed to clear my head," Summer said shrugging and Nate narrowed his eyes at her.

"Where was Sam during all of this thinking?" Nate asked cringing, he and Serena had recently found out from their daughter that she was dating Carter Baizen's son Sam and while Nate wasn't thrilled with the news, Summer managed to convince him to let her go out with this boy.

"I don't know," Summer said looking down, her face changed and Nate immediately crossed the room to hug her, he knew that look, every time she got hurt or they didn't allow her to do something she'd get that look right before she cried.

"What did he do?" Nate asked, Summer didn't answer, she just held onto her father really tightly, her face buried into his shoulder but not allowing herself to cry. "Summer Charlotte what did that boy do?"

"He broke up with me," she said her voice cracking and Nate shushed her. "There … he … he was with someone else."

"I'm gonna kill him," Nate said and Summer shook her head. "Do you want me to get mom?"

"I was stupid enough to think he liked me," Summer said crying, her tears wetting his shirt.

Nate stroked his daughters hair and held her, he always thought Serena would deal with their daughters emotional drama's. "Any guy would be stupid not to like you, ok?"

"You're just saying that coz your my dad," Summer said pulling away from him and wiping her eyes on her sleeves. "How sad is that?" she asked as a fresh wave of tears overtook her.

Nate rolled his eyes. "And as your dad I'm allowed to be honest and say that you are beautiful and caring and funny and smart, you can be a huge pain in the butt sometimes," he said watching a small smile form on her face. "But you are perfect."

Summer nodded and wiped her tears again, she kept her eyes down the entire time. Nate kissed her head and mentally slapped himself for allowing her to date Carter Baizen's son. "I'll be ok daddy."

Nate looked at her and saw his amazing sixteen year old daughter, then he saw her as a ten year old tomboy, a six year old little girl looking lost on her first day of school and finally he saw her as a newborn, wrapped in blankets as pink as she was, handed over to him to protect from the rest of the world. How fast time has gone by, just the other days she broke her arm and now she's getting her heart broken.

Nate wrapped his arms around her again and pulled her onto his lap so he could hold onto her properly, enjoying the fact that she just allowed him to treat her like the baby he saw her as, his tiny baby girl.

"I know you are, because when you get to school on Monday, you are going to doll up and be as perfect as ever," he said wiping a stray tear from her cheek. "And you're going to let him know how stupid he was to let you go."

"Everyone's going to know," Summer said burying her face into his sweater. "Can I stay home on Monday please?"

"No," Nate said and he could feel the disappointment in the way her shoulders fell. "It will be worse if you stay away, people will make up stories and by the time you get back to school he would have already made something up that people would believe because you aren't there to tell them otherwise." He remembered Gossip Girl and high school all too well.

"I don't want to see him or tell anyone anything, I just want to become invisible," she said sniffing.

"Honey, you'll never be invisible," Nate said as soothingly as he could.

"Because I'm too much like mom? Sometimes I think that a curse," Summer mumbled crossing her arms.

"She used to think that as well," Nate said.

"What did she do?" Summer asked and Nate rubbed her back.

"She used to hold her head up high and let everyone know that she was fine," Nate told her. "Like you, she had a ton of boys falling at her feet," Nate said tickling her sides and Summer giggled. "No-one really cared what happened to her, or what Gossip Girl posted, they were just amazed by her."

"Do you think I could be like mom?" Summer asked looking up at her dad with sad blue eyes and to Nate she looked much too young to be dealing with heartbreak, even though he was younger than her when he and Serena did. "That I could be that confident."

"Of course, you'll even have Audrey at your side," Nate said, his daughter had so many insecurities like every other teenage girl, just like Serena and Blair did so he had a vague idea of what was going through her mind. "She has that evil look that will send anyone running."

Summer laughed and threw her arms around Nate's neck hugging him. "Thanks daddy," she said softly kissing his cheek and moving of his lap to sit on the bed.

Nate grabbed one of her teddy bears that she claims she's too old to sleep with and handed it to her. "Anytime Summ." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently. "Go wash your face, you're starting to look like your Aunt Jenny in those pictures we showed you."

"Ew," Summer exclaimed, laughing at her father. "It can't be that bad!"

"Oh it is," Nate said laughing as well. "Get some sleep ok?" he said and she nodded with a smile to let him know she'd be fine.

"I love you dad," Summer called as he reached the door.

"I love you too baby," he said closing her door and sighing. He quickly checked that Liam was in fact sleeping and not still playing games and that Melinda was sleeping peacefully before going back into his room.

Serena looked to be asleep when he entered the room, he flipped the bedside lamp on and sat heavily on the bed. "Hey," she said opening her eyes and moving closer so she could wrap her arms around his waist, pressing her face into his back.

"I'm sorry," he said rubbing her arm. "Did I wake you?" he asked getting up to change.

"The scream woke me," Serena said waiting for him to get under the covers next to her so she could rest her head on his chest and place her hand over his heart. "How is she?"

"You heard?" Nate asked tilting his head to the side so he could see her face.

"I got up to check what happened," Serena said, looking up at him. "I heard a little bit, but I didn't want to intrude."

"I wish you did," Nate said bringing his other hand up to his chest to lace their fingers together. "I had no idea what I was saying to her, I just had to make her feel better."

"I'm sure you did a good job," Serena said chuckling. "If not she would have been in here complaining about how dad just doesn't understand and I heard laughing, always a plus."

"Is this what we signed up for?" Nate asked and Serena used her free arm to prop herself up so she could look at his face when he spoke. "When we had daughters I mean, I already know that I don't ever want to see her like that again."

"I know babe," Serena said smiling at him. "She's going to get her heart broken and she's going to cry and hurt and hate the world and we can't do anything but be there for her."

"I hate it," Nate said running his fingers through his hair. "I just want to go and kill that boy for breaking her heart."

"I don't think being a criminal will help anyone," Serena said.

"Then can we just lock her and Melinda up in the house? It's big enough, they can be homeschooled and no boy's will be allowed besides Liam," Nate asked and Serena laughed at him. "You don't think it could work."

"I think you think it can work but you can't do it," Serena said.

"Can you talk to her tomorrow?" Nate asked twirling a lock of her hair between his fingers.

"I can do better," Serena said with a smile. "You and Liam can go to Chuck's and I'll ask Blair and Audrey to come over, we'll have a girls night and we'll talk and eat chocolate and watch horribly cheesy movies and paint our nails and do our hair and it'll be fun for her."

"Ok," Nate said finally smiling, the worry easing of him just a little bit. "I still want to kill him."

"I know," Serena said kissing him. "But I want to keep him alive to see what he lost when Summer walks into school."

"Oh that's good," he said kissing her back and then leaning over to switch the light of, Serena tuned over and Nate wrapped himself around her. "Love you."

"Love you too," Serena mumbled sleepily pulling his arms tighter around her.
