A/N: Wow twenty chapters already! I hope you all enjoy!

The sun peeped through Serena's penthouse bedroom. Blair and Eric lay asleep on the king size bed in the bedroom. Eric had let Blair have the blanket and he slept beside her. He didn't want to tell her, but he was worried about her. She was usually content, but something about when she screamed had affected her. What was going on? Blair's eyes started to flutter open. She looked beside her and saw a sound asleep Eric Van der Woodsen. She smiled. He really was a great friend. She sat up slowly and leaned towards him. She took her index finger and gently rubbed his nose with it. His hand immediately went for his nose. Blair held her giggles inside her. She took her index finger again and gently rubbed his nose once more and yet again, his hand touched his nose. This time Blair couldn't help but giggle. It was weird what a little touch could do to someone. Her giggles soon turned to laughter which eventually woke up Eric. He looked over to his right and saw Blair laughing hysterically.

"What's so funny?"

She paused but only managed to point at him before laughing once more. Maybe it was because what she had done hadn't been that funny or maybe she needed some laughter in her stressful life, but she kept on laughing. Eric grew more and more confused. Blair finally started to calm down. Her breaths were heavy but soon became even. She lay down beside Eric.

"Eric?"

He looked at her.

"Yeah?"

She sighed.

"Have you ever though that maybe if you stayed with someone, you would be sort of ruining their life?"

Eric pondered at the thought. He didn't necessarily care about answering it, but more so of the fact that Blair had brought it up. Was she talking about her spending time with him? No, that couldn't be it. Was it about Chuck? Did she think she was ruining his life? Eric turned to look at Blair.

"Would this have anything to do with Chuck?"

Blair sighed and bit her lip. He had caught her. She looked at her feet. Finally she took a deep breath and spoke.

"I feel like a part of me is holding him back."

"Back from what?"

Blair sighed.

"From doing what he loves to do. I mean, ever since he got into Yale because he wanted to make me happy, I think he feels like he needs to do more and I think that I'm holding him back from what he truly loves to do."

Eric looked at her in confusion. It still didn't make any sense to him yet.

"I don't get it."

"It's like he feels like he needs to do stuff that he wouldn't normally do. For example, at Yale he was a physiology major. Now, that's not the Chuck I know. I mean, why would he do that?"

Eric sighed.

"First off, I think you're making a big deal out of that. And second, shouldn't you talk to Chuck about this?"

Blair looked away from him and sighed. He did have a point. Maybe she was making a big deal out of it. And maybe she should talk to Chuck. But what would he say? What if he thought she was nuts? She looked back at Eric.

"Okay, let's say your correct. What would I say to him?"

"Just tell him what you think. Nothing bad could come out of it."

Blair smiled. Eric was one of those friends that only came in your life if you were lucky. She looked at Eric.

"You are full of good points, aren't you? My, you are beyond your years,"

He couldn't help but smile.

"Well, I am twenty one. You couldn't expect me to be a teenager forever."

Blair just smiled.

"I'll just sleep for a bit before talking to him."

"Yeah, I'm tired too."

Blair's head fell on the pillow and drifted off to sleep. Eric fell asleep on another pillow. They slept in silence while Bart and Lily sat in the living room drinking some tea. Bart had been reading the newspaper and Lily looked out the window at the amazing view a room at the Palace could show you. Suddenly, they heard the front door open. Bart looked up from the newspaper and Lily looked too. They awaited to see who had come so early in the morning to see them. They saw a figure draw closer. Finally, Chuck came waltzing into the living room. It looked like he hadn't changed his clothes from yesterday. His hair was messed up. He staggered towards the couch where his father was.

"Father, I need to talk to you. In private."

Both father and son looked at Lily. She got up.

"I need to go to the kitchen and help out Pierre. Besides, I need to call Serena to go over some wedding details."

Lily walked away. Chuck looked at his father.

"I think Blair hates me."

Bart tried to show some compassion towards his son, but he honestly didn't. He sighed.

"Well give her some time and pick her up a new necklace from Tiffany's. She'll be back to normal in no time."

Chuck sighed.

"It's not that. I feel like I should talk to her about it."

"Trust me son, sometimes talking isn't always best. Just buy her a necklace."

Chuck just sighed again.

"I just need sometime to think about this. Could I just spend sometime in one of the rooms?"

"Why can't you go back to your suite?"

"Too much alcohol."

Bart sighed.

"Fine."

Chuck got up from the couch and walked toward the bedrooms. The walls of the hallway were burgundy, and pretty much lifeless. He was about to open the door to Eric's room, when he remembered that Eric might still be asleep. Don't need him pissed off at me too, he thought. He walked across the hallway to Serena's old bedroom. Ever since she and Dan had gotten engaged, she had been living with him. Chuck grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. He looked at the ground and made his way to the bed. Maybe a good nap was all he needed. But nothing prepared him for what he saw next. Blair and Eric! In a bed? What the fuck is going on? Did they sleep with each other? They probably did! he thought. He stood by the edge of the bed and cleared his throat. Blair's head started to move. She looked over at where Chuck was standing and smiled. Suddenly, she realized who she was in bed with. She shot up from the bed and walked over to Chuck.

"Chuck, it's not like that."

Chuck looked at her.

"Yeah right. I knew you were angry at me but I didn't know how low you would go to forget me. Seems I found out soon enough."

By now Eric had woken up and was sitting wide awake on the bed.

"Listen to Blair, Chuck. Nothing happened."

Chuck just smirked and turned to Blair.

"We're over."

Blair looked in disbelief.

"What? Just because you think you saw what you think you saw, we're over?"

"I know what I saw. And yes, we are over!"

And with that, he stormed out of the bedroom. He walked briskly through the hallway, which eventually led him to the foyer. He slammed the penthouse door behind him and walked into the elevator. He pressed the button for his floor and waited while the elevator doors shut. The elevator stopped at his floor and he quickly got out and raced toward his suite. He opened the door ran inside. Anything to get away from the real world. He ran into his room and lay on his bed.

"Why did she do this to me! Why?"

Of course no one would answer. He sighed and closed his eyes. Please God, tell me what went wrong!, he thought.

In the meantime, Jenny stepped out the cab she had been in. She stared at the building she was in front of and smiled. It had been ages since she had been here last. She walked into the building and took it to the floor that she wanted to go to. She stepped out and walked to the apartment. She knocked on the door. Please be home! You promised you would be! she thought. She sighed and waited. The door flew open and in front of her stood Hazel and Penny. Hazel smiled.

"Jenny, come in!"

Jenny smiled and walked into the apartment. Now that Hazel and Penny didn't really need (or want) jobs, they bought an apartment together. The furniture didn't really match, but that's what you get when Hazel and Penny decided to decorate together. They walked into the living room. Penny took Jenny's coat. Hazel sat on one of the couches. Penny sat beside her. Jenny sat on another couch facing the other two wannabes. Hazel smiled.

"So, what's up?"

Jenny sighed.

"Stupid wedding shit."

"What exactly happened? And please, spill the drama."

Jenny smiled a mischievous smile.

"Well, while I was in my bedroom I could hear everything loud and clear. From what I heard, Chuck left with out Blair."

Penny rolled her eyes.

"That was on Gossip Girl."

Jenny ignored her.

"And I heard Eric left with Blair."

Penny sighed.

"Gossip Girl told us."

Hazel turned to Penny and gave her a deadly glare, before turning back to Jenny.

"Don't worry. We'll find something."

Jenny sighed and leaned on the couch. Penny sat silently. Jenny looked up at them.

"I heard Carter's still in jail."

Hazel scoffed.

"Yeah he is. He's going to be in for a few more years."

"Do you two visit him?"

"Oh no. His name is far too ruined for us to even talk to him."

Penny nodded her head in agreement. Jenny smiled.

"Well, Serena's pregnant."

Both Hazel and Penny's jaws dropped. They had not been expecting that. After Hazel got over the shock she turned to Jenny.

"Are you serious?"

Jenny nodded.

"Yup, I think that's why they moved up the wedding."

Hazel gasped again.

"They moved up the wedding?"

"Yes."

Penny sat silently in shock. Hazel took out her phone.

"I have to tell Gossip Girl."

Jenny bit her lip. Crap! Should I have even told them? she thought. She turned to Hazel.

"Wait!"

Hazel looked up at her.

"What?"

Jenny sighed.

"I don't want Gossip Girl to know."

Hazel smirked.

"Well then what was the point of telling us? Jenny, you have to know by now that people can either make you or break you. This could make you. And anyways, no body will know you told."

Jenny managed to smile.

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"Alright."

Hazel smirked before sending Gossip Girl the news. Jenny sat in silence. Had this been a good idea?

Meanwhile, Serena and Dan lay in Dan's bed. Serena refused to get up from bed. She felt to tired, so Dan had voluntarily stayed with her. Serena's mother had called asking if she needed any help with the wedding. Serena just told her to plan the whole thing by herself. It was better if her mother did it so she could focus on the wedding party. She had three weeks and hopefully by then everything would be fine. Dan looked at her.

"Serena, you alright?"

Serena looked out the window.

"Yeah."

Dan sighed.

"Don't worry, we can do this. Once the wedding is over, the pressure is off."

Serena smiled. Everyday she grew to love Dan more and more. She hadn't known that was possible. She loved the way he could read her mind. She huddled closer to him.

"I love you Daniel Humphrey."

He smiled.

"I love you too, Serena Van der Woodsen who will be a Humphrey in three weeks."

They both laughed. Suddenly, both their phone's rang. Serena picked up hers. She had one new message. She opened it. She wished she hadn't.

Hello Upper EastSiders,

Seems a certain queen is pregnant. And no, it is not B this time. It's S! Yes the bride to be is indeed pregnant or, as Perez Hilton would say, sperminated! Seems she and Married Boy wanted to push up the wedding because of the baby. Did you really think that you could keep a secret from the Upper East Side, S? Well you sure thought wrong!

XOXO Gossip Girl

Serena looked at her phone screen in horror. Who would do this to me! she thought. She looked over at Dan. The same expression on his face. He looked up at Serena. She walked over to him. He held her.

"Don't worry who ever did this is going to pay. I'll make sure of it."

And he would. He would make sure this person got what they deserved.
