Thank you everyone for your support! I am very new at this and am taking it as it comes.
This season has been hard to swallow, but I know that in the face of true love—everything will come together the way it should.
Please continue to show your love and let me know what you think!
Thanks again! xxxF
She awoke to a familiar budging.
"Miss Blair... Miss BLAIR!"
"Dorota? What the hell are you doing here? Where's Mister Chuck?"
"I assume he went to office already. It is time for you to get up Miss Blair. NOW."
"What are you talking about? How did you get in here anyway?"
"I have key! Anyway, Prince Louis is en route to the penthouse to surprise you. He phoned last night to talk to you but I told him you were asleep from the jetlag. You make a liar out of Dorota! What will Ana think?"
"I'm sorry. Did you just say you have a key? You knew about this place and didn't tell me?"
"Miss Blair, really. Who do you think found the vintage Hermes? I know how you love the '66 collection."
She walks over to a door on the left hand side of the room and walks in.
"Did you think Mister Chuck could do this all on his own?" She echoed from inside. "Who knows you better than me—and Miss Serena and Mister Nate? Beside—I didn't want to ruin the surprise. You know how I feel about you and Mister Chuck. Its destiny, you know?"
"Well I'm glad you voice this now—after I'm engaged—to another man. What are you doing in there?"
"She walks out carrying the sweetest lemon colored dress and a pair of Kate Spade heels."
Dressing you—what else?
"That mother chucker." She sprints to the door and walks in.
There they were, lined up like a candy shop of colorful confections. Racks of dresses, skirts, and blouses lined either side of the walls. There was a bureau at the end of the room and a shoe rack on the opposite side. Framed photos of Serena and Blair hung nearby—their most fashionable moments.
"What in the world..."
"This is my greatest achievement Miss Blair. Miss Serena and I keep tabs on all your runway favorites over the past few years and added them to wardrobe. Mister Chuck took care of the rest—the important things, you know."
"You mean the shoes and the lingerie?"
"But, of course. You know Mister Chuck; nothing but the best."
"Oh that I do Dorota, that I do. Goddamn him" She wanted to dive right in and explore her new found treasures, but she knew she didn't have time.
She quickly ran into the bathroom—totally Bassed up—and showered. When she got out and dropped her towel to change, Dorota gawked at her prominence.
"YES—I'm pregnant! Now, help me get changed."
"Miss Blair, you are having baby? Mister Chuck is the father? This is great news! Wait until I tell Vanya. You know how he cares for him."
Not now Dorota, we can talk all the details after I see Louis—and you, know break off my engagement.
"Oh boy, Miss Blair, this is going to get messy. What is our plan?"
"Just remain calm. I am going to tell him the truth."
"You're going to tell him that you're pregnant—with Chuck Bass as the father?"
"She can tell him whatever she wants now, but the whole truth will have to come out eventually." Chuck was standing at the door of her closet.
"Good morning, beautiful." He walked over and lightly kissed her cheek and bent down and gave a little one on her still-bare belly.
She looked over at Dorota who was grinning and smiled to herself. She looked at him dead in the eye.
"Hello, lover—you have some serious explaining to do.''
"If it means you being upset at me, then no. I do not want you to be more stressed than you already are. Now, go eat something – I just picked up your favorites from Alice's.
Pumpkin scones? You know me too well Bass, but this isn't over. She scurries along half-dressed, but still looking radiant as ever.
He looks over at the trusty maid. "We got her good this time Dorota, didn't we? Wait until Vanya hears the news. Thank you." He gave her a genuine hug. "You really are our family and I'm glad you are here to share this with us."
"You are all grown up Mister Chuck. Things will be different this time, yes?"
"Absolutely, how could they not?"
She somehow managed to eat and run and make it back to the Penthouse with Dorota in tow before Louis arrived.
Chuck said he would be along later on to pick up the pieces. He knew this wouldn't be easy.
She went upstairs and lay in her bed and was about to pick up the phone to call Serena. She knew the time difference would make it a whole lot earlier over there—but this couldn't wait. Then, she heard the bell of the elevator. My, that was fast.
She heard a knock at the door.
"Louis?"
The door opened only to reveal, Dan Humphrey.
"Humphrey! What are you doing here? How did you know I was even here?"
"Blair—Hey. That's what I came to tell you—everyone knows you're here."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Check your phone."
Low and behold there it was, a photo of her leaving her and Chuck's house with Dorota.
Well, well, well look who's graced us with her soon-to-be royal presence. Welcome back, B. She was spotted leaving that gorgeous townhouse on the corner across from the Met. Yes, THAT one. We've seen a few of our favorite faces come in and out of that house a couple of times over the years, but what's inside? No one knows—but I sure will soon. Hey B, where's the Prince? Wonder what will happen when C gets word about this.
Whew, that was close. No photo of her and Chuck was a good sign, but she had to be careful.
"Thanks for the look out, Humphrey, but everything is fine. I just came in for a quick refresher from the struggles of wedding planning"
"Well, it's good to see you—you look great. Where's Louis anyway?"
"Right here."
They both turned and looked at the door. Low and behold, there he was—looking tired as ever.
"Louis. How was your trip?"
"Hello, my love. It was too long. I couldn't be without you any longer, so I came as quick as I could."
"Louis, meet my friend Dan Humphrey."
"Hello, Dan. It's nice to meet you."
"Hi, I've heard lots of great things. Anyway—Blair, I'm going to head out. I just wanted to stop say hello. It was nice to meet you Louis."
"Darling, where is Serena? I thought you said she was here?"
She panicked inside. "She couldn't make it—so it was just me and Dorota these past few days. She had to stay back for a meeting." Here come the lies.
"I thought so. I saw on Gossip Girl that she was seen on Rodeo Drive, why am I not surprised?
She almost choked. That post was from yesterday—which means he didn't see the one of her leaving the townhouse. "Since when do you read Gossip Girl?"
"Since you are one it's stars, my dear. Besides, my mother keeps an eye out before the French papers get hold of any gossip about you."
OhmyGodOhmyGodOhmyGod. "She does? How thoughtful of her highness to look out for me."
"Well, royalty awaits and that only makes the gossip worse."
Just then she heard her phone beep.
Hi gorgeous.
How's everything going?
I'm right here if you need me.
Can't wait to celebrate tonight.

Oh boy. This was going to take a while.
