Two roads meet
Chapter 9
The operation was drawing near and Blair was lying in the hospital bed. Chuck was holding her hand and Blair´s family were there to. Blair was given the sleeping drug and she soon falls asleep. Chuck and the rest of the family were left to worry about Blair.
Chuck´s father Bart Bass suddenly turns op and Eleanor looks down right angry to see him. Chuck glance between the two parents and he doesn't get their anger towards each other.
"Bart," Eleanor says coldly to Bart as Bart sits down beside Chuck. Chuck knew there was something going on between his father and Eleanor.
"Nora, I had to see how my new daughter-in-law was doing and Charles needs my support." Chuck did not know how to handle his father´s sudden kindness at all. Chuck had a hard time dealing with Bart and Bart here was just strange.
"She isn't your daughter-in-law because your son isn't going to marry her," Eleanor snaps at Bart and Bart gives her a warning look. Chuck was catching their hate and anger.
"Please, don't fight Blair is in there and she needs us," Chuck says breaking his father and Eleanor´s cold looks.
Chuck was scared of losing Blair and his father and Eleanor weren't very helpful on the matter.
"God, your son is as commanding as you," Eleanor says sounding like a snake. She was hissing and showing a very bad side of herself. Bart was trying to hold his cool but Eleanor´s comment was clearly getting to him.
"Lest not hope he leaves her like his father," Eleanor was still talking and Chuck was about to take her off when she says" Don't you stop me your bastard of a son."
Now Bart lost his temper with Eleanor.
"For Heaven ´sake woman, I loved you and you were marrying Harold and you played me and yes I played you to," Bart says in a roar.
Chuck was in total shock over this news coming from his father. Bart never lost his temper so bad before. Chuck was use to his father being angry for weeks without telling him why, he was angry about but this was just wild.
"Played me, that is an understatement if you ask me," Eleanor wasn't backing down at all she seems to grow with fury.
Taylor looks at his mother with wonder and says "is Chuck my brother?"
"No," both Bart and Eleanor says sounding disgusted by the very thought.
Chuck looks at them and wishes they could just talk about this.
"Please, tell us what it is between you two," Chuck says looking from the one to the other.
Bart was the first one to tell" We were young and we both were dating another," Bart says.
Eleanor looks at him with irritation.
"We could have been together but you chose her over me," Eleanor when from angry to sad. Chuck hadn't thought Eleanor capable of showing such a hurt emotion.
"I loved you and I waited for you to come and you never showed up," Bart says sounding hurt as well. Chuck was getting tired of this drama.
"Could drama king and drama queen calm down, Blair´s life is in danger," Chuck says as he again hopes they would calm down.
Both parents look at Chuck and Bart finally nods to Chuck and says "I am sorry Charles, you are right."
Suddenly the doctor come and says" I am fearing we are losing Ms. Waldorf, her breathing is getting dangerously low, and she has lost a lot of blood, we need a donor to give her blood."
Blair was lucky AB+ and Chuck was to so he could donor blood to Blair. Chuck hates needles but he would do anything for Blair. Chuck got very weak afterwards and Eleanor finally stops thinking Chuck did not care for her daughter.
They were waiting for news, Nate and Serena shows up and they all look worried.
"How is she doing?" Serena asks Chuck and Chuck says "They are operating on her and she lost a lot of blood."
Serena looks to be in tears and Nate holds her tight. Chuck himself was walking on the spot.
Bart was glancing at his son with concern.
After nearly a night and a half day the doctor returns and says "Ms. Waldorf is beginning to wake up."
Everybody looks happy over this news.
They could see Blair one at the time and Eleanor and Taylor were the two first to see Blair. Chuck came after them.
Blair was lying on the bed with IVs in her hand and she was hook op to many different IVs. Chuck looks at his dream come true, she was his everything and losing her, would had let to him being depress and maybe suicidal.
Blair was fast asleep and Chuck just held her hand and says" I love you so much." Blair seems to stir but it must be his imagine.
"Chuck," Blair´s soft voice sounded. Chuck tightens his grip on her hand.
"Blair, I am right here," Chuck says as she starts to open her eyes. She looks a little confuse over her awakening.
"You are alright and the operation went well," Chuck says as he holds her. Blair stays at the hospital for 9 days more and Chuck was there every day.
They had to attend Kahlan´s funeral. Blair and Chuck had Blair´s old heart with them as promised. Nate had look at it and says it was the most disturbing thought that Blair´s dead heart was in a box.
Serena to look a little green by the very idea of the heart, she wish them a pleasant journey.
The funeral was a quiet little thing. Kahlan´s boyfriend was there he was a good looking guy.
Richard was Kahlan´s boyfriend. Chuck felt bad for him, he had Blair and Richard would be left alone. Chuck starts to feel bad when he and Blair were introduced to Richard.
"Oh, you must be the girl that Kahlan´s heart belongs to now," Richard says sounding sad but pleased.
"Yes, I am. I am sorry for your loss," Blair says in a low inaudible voice.
Richard shakes her and Chuck´s hand.
After the funeral Blair and Chuck went home to UES.
Serena and Nate were there to welcome them back. Chuck looks down feeling sad for Richard and Kahlan´s family.
Chuck and Blair promise to visit them.
One night Chuck was holding Blair´s hand as they walk their night walk.
Chuck glances at Blair´s beautiful figure in the moonlight. He had to ask her or he would never have the guts to do so.
"Blair—I..love you and would..you marry me," Chuck says as he turns Blair to look at him. Blair looks at Chuck whit surprise and says" yes, I thought you never ask."
Blair kiss Chuck with so much passion that they both land on the wet grass.
"We were like to roads heading two different ways but we still collided." Chuck says in a low but thoughtful tone.
Blair says "yes, we did."
