...Chapter Five...
...The Rest of the Day at the Spa...
About an hour later, the limo finally stopped. Rayanna had no clue where she was at. All three of them got out, then before Rayanna could say anything, Blair cut her off. "Not a word. You're in no rush to get back, are you? I mean, Nate's asleep and he can sleep for hours."
Rayanna shook her head. "No... no rush."
"Good. Come on." then Serena and Rayanna followed Blair into the building, and walked up to a lady at the front desk. "Excuse me?"
"Yes, can I help you?"
Blair read her name badge. "Lois... we have an appointment."
"And your name?"
"Blair Waldorf."
Lois nodded. "I'll let them know you are here."
"Thank you, Lois."
She smiled at Blair. "You're welcome. Go ahead and have a seat, your room will be ready in five minutes."
"Okay." then all three of them sat down on the chairs.
"So, Blair... where are we?"
"As a little welcome home gift... we are going to spend the rest of the day or night at this spa."
"We're at a spa? Cool, I've never been to a spa."
Blair smiled. "You're welcome."
"Let me call Nate and tell him I'll be a little late."
As Rayanna pulled out her phone, Serena said "Tell Nate, we said hi."
"Okay." she pressed speed dial number four and waited for it to be picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Nate... how is everything over there?"
"Good."
"Serena and Blair... says hi."
"Tell them I said hello."
"Okay, so how's." she paused. "Um... Natalie?"
"She's good, eating her pizza that I ordered."
"Okay, let me talk to her." Rayanna waited for Natalie to get on the phone.
"Hi, Mommy."
"Hey, Baby." Rayanna saw the weird looks that Blair and Serena was giving her. "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah, Daddy got me a pizza."
"Save me some... okay?"
"I will. When are you coming home?"
"In a little bit... I have to go now, so be good for Daddy." Both Blair and Serena's eyes widened and their jaws dropped to the ground.
"Mommy, come on... I'm a perfect angel."
Rayanna giggled. "You're right. Tell Daddy, I'll be home later and I love you."
"Love you too Mommy."
"Bye, Baby."
"Bye... Mommy." then Rayanna hung up the phone and saw the shocked look on her two best friends.
"Um." Blair started. "Did we miss something?"
"Yes, I have a daughter." She said, as she bit her lip, waiting for their reaction.
There was a minute of silence, then Blair said "Really? And you never told us?"
"Well, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to come back."
"Wow... how old is she?" asked Serena.
"Four." Rayanna went into her purse and pulled out a picture. "Here, this was taken at her preschool."
Both of them were looking and studying it. Seconds later, Blair gasped. "Ray... is there any reason why she looks like Chuck?"
"Because... he's the father."
"Noooo. Seriously? What about Nate?"
"Nate knows she's Chucks."
"I'm confused." Serena shook her head.
A few minutes later a middle aged woman opened the door. "Party for Waldorf?"
"That's us." Blair stood up, followed by Serena and Rayanna. "When we have our massage, you are going to tell us everything."
Rayanna nodded. "Okay."
Within ten minutes, they were laying flat on their stomach on the table with a towel covering their bottom half, as they were getting massages at the same time.
"Okay." Blair started. "Spill it."
Rayanna took a deep breath. "I'll start from the beginning. Five years ago, on the night of my parents death, I was upset. Well, Chuck was there and we slept together. The night of the going away party, I was going to tell Chuck, but I chickened out. But that was also the night that Nate told me he loved me."
"Why didn't you tell Chuck, you were with child?" asked Serena.
"I was scared, he wouldn't care. Because I thought he was in love with Blair and Nate stepped up." Rayanna paused. "But, Blair... you told me that Chuck loves me and that changes things. Plus the fact that he's going to marry Georgina... no thanks."
"Yeah, maybe that means there will be no wedding... it sounds good to me."
"Yeah." Serena agreed. "Georgina doesn't deserve Chuck."
"Amen." Blair giggled.
"But if they did go through with the wedding... there is no way in hell that Georgina will tell her what to do or punish her. I will rip her head off, if she lays one finger on my little girl."
"When can we arrange ripping off Whore-gina's head? That would be awesome to witness." Blair laughed. "So, how does Nate feel about your daughter?"
"He's crazy about her. He's been a part of her life, since I was six months pregnant."
"Wow... today is just full of surprises." said Serena.
"Guys, I'm sorry... I didn't tell you." she paused. "I hope you're not mad at me... at the fact that I have a daughter from you."
"We forgive you." Blair started. "On one condition."
"What?"
"Me and S, are entitled to be her godmothers."
Rayanna laughed. "That's funny, because I was going to ask you two if you would anyway."
"Yah!" Serena cheered. "B... we have some overdue spoiling to do."
"That's right." Blair agreed. "So, when was she born and stuff?"
"Natalie Olivia Malone was born on July sixteenth, two thousand five at ten thirty pm. She weighed six pounds, three ounces, and she was nineteen inches long."
"I can't believe you had a baby." said Blair. "So, when are you telling Chuck?"
"I'm not sure yet... so could you not tell him or anyone else about her, until I figure this out?"
"Our lips are sealed." said Serena.
"Hey." Blair started. "We should have a welcome home party for you and Nate."
"Yah! That would be cool. We could have it at my moms place."
"S... will Lily mind?"
"B... she loves Ray, I'm sure she won't mind."
"Okay... when?" asked Rayanna.
"Next weekend sounds good to me." Blair paused. "We'll forget about this stupid wedding for a while and I'll have Dorota get started on the party, when I get home."
The girls stayed at the spa, for another couple of hours, and took Rayanna back to her place, because Blair and Serena wanted to see Nate and meet their goddaughter.
