Chapter 12

Blair and Chuck immediately got out of bed, and hurried to get dressed, Blair just went into her closet and grabbed what was the quickest, but appropriate. She looked in the mirror after throwing on a John Rocha Gold dress & some tights, after hastily putting on a bra, and panties. She went to her jewelry box, looking for some accessories , and then she saw it after accidently opening it. The Erickson beamon necklace. She smirked and the carefully grabbed it, putting it on reaching behind her neck to clasp it, then moved the pieces on the necklace so it would lie perfectly against her dress. She smiled a little smile, to herself, then slipped on some flats, her new miu-miu black and gold flats to be exact. After running a brush through her hair, and she thought she looked okay. She stepped out of the closet to see Chuck fixing his hair and her vanity. "Your hair looks fine, let's go." Blair said walking out of the room, but not before grabbing her dad's Yale sweater that she loved so much. Putting it on, fixing her necklace so it could be visible over the sweater. Chuck trailed behind her, completely dressed smirking a little, leaning into her ear, before they walked out of her room "nice necklace." "Shush." Blair said to an even more smirking Chuck, as she playfully pushed him away.

As they made their way down the staircase, they noticed Serena and Eric were sitting in the living room, with Roman. She took a deep breath expecting the worse as Lily walked into the room now, with hot chocolate, sitting between Serena and Eric, handing them hot chocolate; smiling at her children, then back at Charles and Blair. Blair was confused why was everyone happy? Blair looked at Serena and Eric for answers but they were too occupied smiling with their mother. What the hell was going on? Just as she was about to ask that question, in came her mother asking for her and chuck to come into the kitchen with her. She looked at Chuck, and he just followed, Eleanor into the kitchen.

Once inside the kitchen, she saw Bart, her father and now Eleanor sitting at the table. And Dorota who was in the kitchen, with what looked like a Christmas dinner. There were two seats open for her and Chuck across from all of them, "please take a seat dear, we need to talk about some things." Blair looked at Chuck, who took a deep breath then walked up to the table with Blair, pulling out her chair for her, then sitting down himself. "Okay now, that we all are here, I like to discuss some things with both of you" Blair just took a deep breath and got ready for the worst, she looked at chuck to see how he was handling it, and he was just sternly looking at his father, who was looking sternly back at him, if anyone walked into the room right now, if they didn't know better they would think that they were having an intense staring contest. But this was Bart, and Chuck, nothing would come good out of this. She looked over back to her father, who seemed the calmest about this, and listened as he began talking. "Blair, we have talked things over, and we have agreed that we may have gone with the wrong approach with this, please forgive us, we all in a bit of shock." Blair nodded her head "I understand daddy" She then who looked at her mother, she was the exact opposite, from her father. "Now, that we have that out of the way, how Blair, I thought I raised you better, you're different from those other girls, I just don't understand how you-" Eleanor went on ranting to Blair, her voice going higher with every word, Thank god her father stopped her, Blair started tearing up again, for what seemed like the thousandth time today, she was about to get up to leave, when she felt someone grab her hand. She looked down to see Chuck holding her hand, she looked up to see if he was staring at her, but he was still in that intense staring contest with Bart. "I'm sorry, but, I just- forget it, we have to figure out some things, You're not due, till late August so, you still have a lot of time before you show, and people will start to find out-" Chuck then broke the silence, "people already no," he spit out. "What do you mean, people know, how I've kept the appointment very confidential, she just found out today." Eleanor, said "Well, Nate the Great isn't a great as we thought." Chuck said, disgusted, he could kill that guy. Blair just squeezed his hand, she wasn't the only one who was hurt by this Nate, was supposed to be Chuck's best and if only close guy friend, they were like brothers.

Blair looked at her parents who were quiet confused, what did Nate do? "Show them chuck…" said quietly to chuck, "show us what" Harold said, catching what his daughter said. Chuck brought out his phone, and opened up Gossip girl, and gave the parents the phone, he watched as the parents read in shock, "who is gossip girl" "some bitch, that likes to ruin people's lives, she post's gossip about Constance and drama, we have idea who she is…" Blair said , tired of this already, she honestly tired, and wanted to go upstairs curl up in her bed, and forget this day, maybe chuck could be there too, but she wouldn't mind… After the parents read the post, and handed the phone back to chuck, Bart finally spoke up. "Did you give him permission to take these photos Blair, of the pregnancy tests" Blair shook her head, of course she didn't. "Well, we can charge him, he must of snuck up here, while we were gone, we didn't give him-" "Mr. Bass, I appreciate this, but sueing Nate, and taking down the post, isn't going to make it go away, everyone knows by now…" Blair said shaking her head. "Well, I've got an idea, how about we forget about this for now, there's nothing we can do about it, and celebrate Christmas before it gone, I see Dorota's almost done finishing the meal…" Harold said getting up from the table, pushing in his Chair, "We can talk about this more, after the holidays, we can bring it back up when it turns 2009, we have until August, we don't need to rush into things." Blair's father said, to everyone at the table. He turned to Leave, but not until he made sure Eleanor, was making her way out of the kitchen, also.

Blair and Chuck got up from the table as well, Blair, went around the counter to help Dorota, but not before, she heard Bart whispering to Chuck, Chuck just nodded and went around to Blair. "What was that?" She said stealing a carrot, from the veggie tray. "Nothing, just we'll talk about this more when we get home" Chuck said mocking Bart. Blair smiled at Chuck's effort to make her laugh. "Wait, so this means that you're not staying…" Blair said hoping he would, she just felt better when he was here, and she knew that she wouldn't get any sleep tonight, no matter how exhausted she was, too many things were on her mind. "No, unless you want me too." "I do, I mean it's just somehow easier, everything's that happened today…I just I want you here, so you make sure I don't do anything stupid…something I'll regret…I mean if you don't want too, I get it, I'll just have Serena stay over, no big deal…" Blair said trailing off, Chuck nodded he already saw her relapse once today, and he didn't want it to happen later. "I'll stay, I'll just tell Bart that we want to practice living together" Blair smiled at his attempt again to make her smile, "Plus we both know how heavy a sleeper Serena is, if you needed her-" "I would be hopeless" she said smiling a little up to Chuck. Chuck just smirked back, but genuine one, just for her.

Dorota was in out during the whole time they were talking, finally she announced that dinner was ready, and everyone gathered around the table, Blair thought she had died and gone to heaven, maybe it was the baby, it more than likely was, but Blair was hungry and she had no plans to bring it back up, after she was done. During the dinner, Dorota and Lily kept telling her what was good, and not good for the baby, Dorota even brought out more vegetables to her, and place them in front of her, and simply said "eat, veggies good for baby" then walked away, Blair was amused, hungry but amused. Once dinner was done, everyone went into the living room, and gathered around the tree. Blair didn't have time this morning to open any of her presents so they were all there still waiting to be opened. And they found out that Lily had brought over some presents herself for everyone, even Chuck. They all got amazing gifts, Eric got a sweater from Bart, that everyone thought was interesting because it was a Florida Marlins sweater. Blair got an amazing coat from her mother that she noted was big, big enough to fit around her belly, when she starts to show. And Blair got Dorota to her surprise a phone, so they could text. Everything seemed normal, and somehow happy. Blair even forgot about the scandal that was sure to happen when she got back to her social scene. But for now Blair was happy as she could get right now, she was sitting beside chuck in her new coat, and sipping hot chocolate, she knew then she was going to be alright, she had everyone in this room backing her, and she had chuck on her side, she knew many things he had done to people to get back at them, and to say it wasn't pretty would be a huge understatement.

Chuck got to stay that night, at first it was a no, but then they brought up what was discussed at lunch earlier that day, and they eventually got their way. No they were lying up in Blair's bed, curled up in each other's arms after another hot sex session. Blair sighed, she loved being in his arms, it was so warm and just so incredibly comfortable. "Blair" Chuck said, who was currently rubbing his hands up and down her back, and occasionally to her and hair. He just liked this girl so much, even love, but chuck wouldn't admit that to anyone, including himself, he already admitted to her, that he had butterflies and to him that was more than enough. "Hmm" she said resting her head on his shoulder, occasionally kissing his neck. "Merry Christmas" Even though it was ironic and totally out of place, and this year was definitely the worst holiday ever. Blair smirked and kissed him. "Merry Christmas, Chuck" she whispered against his lips. It was probably the worst day of her life, but somehow, it wasn't sure, many , MANY terrible things and events had happened today, but at least the day didn't end bad, she had chuck and to her at that moment all that mattered.

Oh Kay! Lol thank you for all of those who are reviewing! This story btw, is going to be really long, and it is not going to always be, if not even in the holiday season, so ignore the title…lol it will follow through the summer, and then see where it goes from there, because right now, I love it, and I hope you all love it! And I never want it to end, I will say though that when summer is over, it will be hard for me to update a lot, but that means more time to write, and longer chapters, there are pictures to this chapter in my profile. Hope you like it!
