Blair was sitting in a comfortable arm chair, a white cotton robe covering her body. Her face was plastered with some sort of milk, creme, mango and cucumbers, while a young brunette took care of her feet. She let out a huge sigh, it felt too good.

"Now this is what I call a good way of life", she breathed out and sunk even deeper into her place.

Serena and Jenny both chuckled. Serena sat next to her and had a chocolate mask on, while Jenny laid on a massage table and got a relaxing back massage.

"Couldn't agree more", Jenny replied. In a few weeks I won't be able to do this anymore, at least the laying on the belly part. She enjoyed her last days of a sort of normal life, before the belly would start showing and some activities weren't possible anymore 'til after the baby was born.

"We really should do this more often. How about once a week? It's also a good way to catch up", Serena suggested.

Blair sighed once more. "I'm so in. As much as I love my son, as well as my husband, once in a while I need some alone time. And this is just perfect for it. So, count me in. What about you, Jen?"

"Sure, I never mind to get distracted from my line for a bit. Especially when it feels as good as this", she brought out with a moan when the blonde masseuse dug a little deeper into her flesh.

"Oh right, you're officially on your own now. Marc is not looking over your shoulder anymore. How is it going?", Serena asked curious.

Jenny inhaled sharper. "It's scary, to be honest. I mean… I always had Marc as back up. And I've learned a lot from him. But being on my own now, it's quite scary to say the least. Although he's still there for me, if I need an advice or so. I can call him, but I try not to. I'll never learn how to stand on my own feet, if I always end up calling him when I don't know further", she explained the current situation.

"You'll go your way, you always did", Blair pointed out. "Do you have a new atelier, or are you still working at Marc's?"

"As Nate and I moved now fully to the Archibald house, we changed the loft to my new atelier. The entire ground floor is working area, and the two guest rooms became an office and a storage room. It will work as a starter", Jenny continued to inform her best friends on her current life situation.

The pregnancy hadn't become an option yet. She still wanted to wait a little, to assure that everything was just fine. It was hard on Nate though, as he really wanted to scream it out into the world.

"That sounds like a great plan. Start small and get bigger in time. Who said that you need a fancy office place right away?", Serena agreed to Jenny's office solution. "And how is living with Natie at your new home? Already corrupted all rooms with your sheer intensity of love making?"

Jenny blushed in an instant and squealed. "Serena!"

The elder blonde only burst out laughing, being joined by Blair. "Come on, Jenny. We both know Nate. You're engaged and in a new home. Don't tell us that you guys didn't use the huge amount of space that house offers."

Jenny reddened even more. She couldn't believe them, but it was way more embarrassing that they were totally right about it. Since they moved in, they practically fell upon each other as soon as the partner got home. It didn't matter where in the house they were.

"It's not… I can't believe that you…", Jenny started but couldn't find the right words to finish the sentence.

"Oh, come on, it's not like I think any other way about Blair and Chuck. Or you guys about Dan and me, although… we aren't engaged and we don't live together."

"Just a matter of time", Jenny muttered.

Serena's eyes widened in pure shock. The cotton pads which laid on her eyes fell on her chest. "What?", she choked out.

Jenny giggled lightly over her reaction. She came up into a sitting position, holding the towel to her chest. "I said it's just a matter of time. Dan loves you, sooner or later he will propose. And… you may not live together per se, but you have the key to his place. You spent way more time there, than at your own."

Blair took the cucumbers from her eyes and placed them on the table nearby. Gazing her two friends over. "She's right. He will drop the question. His baby sister is already engaged for the second time, and he wasn't even once."

"Oh, come on, this is not a contest", Jenny snickered. She had dressed herself in the meantime with a flurry white robe and sat now next to Blair. One of the ladies working at the spa hurried by, offering her a new glass of water. Jenny nodded in thankfulness and smiled genuinely at her.

Blair watched her bemused. "Of course it's not, but if it were, both of you would have lost anyways… and since when do you only drink water?"

Jenny nearly choked on the sip she just took. Her head shot round and she looked at Blair shocked. Could she know? Am I that obvious? "It's a spa day, isn't it? It's water or juice. And what do you mean by we would have lost anyway?", Jenny tried to change the topic back to their previous topic instead of her drinking choice.

Blair just rolled her eyes and turned her gaze to Serena. "I thought you went with her to the spa during the past two years. Didn't you teach her that champagne is in order to relax yourself from the stress out there? We really have to work on you before you can become Nate's wife, Jenny", Blair pointed out and let herself sank back into her comfy chair while taking a bigger sip from her flute of champagne. "And of course I meant that I won that game."

Serena chuckled and Jenny started smiling. Of course she meant herself. "Just for the record, I like myself the way I am, and so does Nate. And I doubt that the result of a spa day shall be to be drunk but relaxed, and therefore I drink water. It's good for your system, Blair", Jenny responded and grabbed some of the fruits of the table nearby.

"Whatever… S, as we live in a world where women are emancipated, why don't you ask Dan? I mean, you really practically live with him already. You could make the first move", Blair suggested.

The blonde just shrugged. She had thought about it, but was more for the fairytale version where the prince comes and asks the young women to be his wife. Just like Nate had done with Jenny, or Chuck with Blair.

"Well, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I'd rather keep it traditionally. You both had your men going down on the knees, I'd like to have that too. Well, or at least have him ask me."

Blair and Jenny just smiled at her reassuringly. "Don't worry, Serena. I'm sure he will. My brother is crazy about you. After all, he created an entire homepage just for you. The question will come."

At the same time Chuck, Nate and Dan were watching basketball while enjoying an ice cold beer. "Damn, I can't remember when I did this last", Nate stated.

Chuck chuckled slightly, turning his gaze towards his best friend. "Jenny wouldn't let you watch? Must suck to be so whipped", he teased him.

Nate shot him a glare. "No, she doesn't mind when I watch sports. But I don't have the time. This town hall affair got us so caught up and brought so much attention to the magazine that I don't know where my head is at. It feels like I'm only working, nonstop. I barely find time to plan the wedding with Jenny", he explained his friends, taking another swag from the beer.

Dan nodded in sympathy. "But at least it's a good stress, isn't it? I mean, you guys were right about the corruption in town hall. Just imagine if your sources would have been wrong", he pointed out.

Nate crunched his nose and forehead. "Ooh, I'd rather not think about that. I doubt that I would have a magazine still. But yes, it's a positive stress. A lot of companies would like to advertise and a lot of people would like to work with us. I shouldn't complain, if only my private life wouldn't come to short."

"The keyword, my dear friend, is delegate. What do you think your employees are there for? Give them some more responsibility and let them do some tasks. That will give you a bit more time. You can still supervise their work", Chuck responded to his friends complaint.

He knew all too well what it meant to rule a business. The Spectator had grown during the past two years, but was still far off being as huge as Bass Enterprises. "Have a bit faith in them. After all, you picked them to work for you."

Nate nodded, thinking of one particular person that he didn't hire and that got massively on his nerves. "Not all", he muttered barely audible.

"What you mean by that?", Dan caught on curious.

Nate sighed and ruffled his hair with his hands. "Promise you won't tell Jenny, I haven't found the right way to tell her yet", he pleaded his friend.

Dan got unease and quite suspicious. This wasn't like Nate to have secrets from Jenny. Also Chuck sat up straighter, wondering what this was about. "Are you in trouble again?", he asked right out.

Nate shook his head. "No, nothing like that. The business is doing more than fine. It's just…", he started, but not knowing how to describe it best. "… it's one of our interns. She got hired while Jenny and I were in Norway."

Dan couldn't see the problem. Even if that girl had a crush on Nate, he was with Jenny… unless… "Wait, are you saying you fell for one of your interns?!", Dan nearly yelled.

Nate's eyes widened in surprise. "What? NO! Of course not, I would never do that to Jenny. I love her, Dan!", he immediately defended himself. "That intern turned out to be Sage."

Chuck and Dan gazed at each other, wondering if that should tell them something. "And the problem is what exactly?", Chuck questioned, still not seeing where Nate was going.

He sighed exasperated. "Sage, as my ex-girlfriend Sage. The daughter of Serena's ex Steven", he clarified.

Now both of his friends looked at him in shook and understanding. "You're kidding?", Dan could only ask.

"Nope, I wish I would. She got hired while I was on holidays. No probation time in the contract and if I fire her, I don't know, she might sue me then out of revenge. She stays out of my office as I told her too, but whenever I have to talk to someone, she always pops up. I don't know… she says she moved on, but I doubt it. Why else would she take an internship at my magazine?"

Dan grabbed his bottle and took another gulp. Chuck had listened in silence. "And you haven't told Jenny yet?", he asked to oversee the entire situation.

Nate shook his head again. "No, I didn't know how. I know I'm a coward here, but she despise Sage – for good reasons. She will freak, and with the wedding planning and her line. I just don't know…", he trailed off, looking at his friends for help.

Dan sighed shortly. "You need to tell her. She will freak even more the later she gets to know about it. You guys always had a special connection, you were always able to talk about everything – don't hold back here, Nate. Especially not now ahead of your upcoming marriage", Dan reasoned.

Chuck nodded in agreement. "As much as I hate to admit it, but Humphrey is right here. Blair and I discuss everything, that's what a good marriage is about. Tell her, before she finds out otherwise."

"You're both right. I'll tell her tonight. Sage means nothing to me, she never did. She won't get between Jenny and me", he replied confidently. If there was one thing that Nate was totally sure of in his life, it was his love for Jenny.

Later that evening Jenny was sitting on her working desk, sketching on some new designs. She had set up her office right next to Nate's new home office. At least so they could talk through open doors while both were working in their own rooms. She had been back for two hours, Nate had come home thirty minutes ago and was answering emails. She was about to try out some fabrics when she realized that she hadn't opened her mail that day. It was still laying on her desk next to her wedding book. She smiled, stroking shortly over it, before she grabbed for her mail. Skimming through the letters if anything of importance was among.

One envelope caught her eye, only her name was scribbled on it. No post stamp, no address, no sender. This is weird. Someone must have come by to drop it off.

"Nate", she called out, "do you know if someone brought a letter in today?"

"No, I didn't receive anything personal while I was here. Why?", he replied from his own desk in the neighbor room.

Jenny shrugged, wondering how it got there. "Just asking. There is a letter among my mails that doesn't have an address or stamp on it. Someone must have brought it here personally", she mused once again.

Her curiosity won the upper hand and she opened the envelope carefully. It contained a DVD and a small note with a printed message.

Thought you'd might like this just as much as I do.

Jenny furrowed her eyebrows. This was even weirder as she thought. She took the DVD out of its cover and placed it into her DVD drive. It started to run immediately. A folder with pictures opened up, a total of two hundred. Jenny was even more confused.

Who would send her a DVD with two hundred pictures? And what of? She clicked on one of the pictures to open it up. As the new window opened up and revealed the content of the picture, she shrieked in pure shock.

"Oh my God!", she exclaimed, holding her hand in front of her mouth and turning pale. No, no, no, no, this can't be happening. All her blood had drained from her face, rushing through her ears.

Nate had heard her scream out and ran straightaway over to see what was wrong. Since he knew that she was pregnant, he tried to keep the entire world from her to keep her and their unborn baby safe. When he entered her room, he already saw her pale face. He rushed to her side.

"Jenny, what's wrong? Are you ok?", he asked worried, gazing straight at her.

She barely heard him, and couldn't answer at all. She only stared in pure shock on her screen. Nate got even more worried when she didn't respond to him. He grabbed her shoulders, shaking her slightly.

"Jenny, honey, talk to me", he demanded, "what happened? Are you hurt?"

But again she remained silent and wasn't even looking at him. He followed her gaze to her screen to locate what was captivating her. He gasped in pure shock, his eyes widened.

Damn it! This fucking bastard! Nate was looking at the picture on her screen, showing a naked Jenny sitting on top of Jasper while she let herself down to let him thrust into her. Her face filled with passion, her eyes closed. Nate groaned by this view, he definitely didn't want to see this.

Jenny was still not moving, but silent tears had started to stream down her face. Nate moved up and in front of her, blocking her view to her screen. "Jenny, look at me baby. We will make him pay for this. Do you hear me? I won't let him get away with this, he won't hurt you. I promise!", Nate said furiously.

His whole anger towards Jasper was burning up again. I guess he didn't receive the message Chuck had sent him then, or he didn't understand it. Guess we have to be clearer this time.

He took Jenny into his arms and soothed her by running his hands over her back. Jenny started to cry louder now, her sobs coming regular. Nate tightened his grip on her, soothing her.

"Shh baby, it's alright. He won't harm you. I won't let that happen", he assured her.

She managed to lean back a little and looked up to him. "How do you kn-ow?", she asked through her sobs. "Wh-at if he sends this vi-deo to the me-dia? My who-le car-eer will be ru-ined."

Big, heavy tears rolled down her cheeks. Her marvelous bright blue eyes were filled with hurt and angst. Nate hated Jasper for putting Jenny into this state. He would pay for this.

"It won't happen, Jenny. I won't let it. If he makes one move, I'll destroy him. He knows that he can't win against Chuck and me. He probably just wants money", Nate thought out loud.

Jenny swallowed and nodded. Jasper always wanted to have a life full of money, this was probably his new way to get some – to blackmail her again. If not in marriage than otherwise.

"I don't want to pay his life for him forever", she whispered weakly. "He will never stop demanding, if we give in."

Nate still held her close, his hands sliding over her back. Her sobs had vanished, but some tears were still making their way down her beautiful face. He knew that she was right. If they would give in and pay him, he would make them pay forever. And he was also not willing to pay that dick. Especially not now that he caused so much pain to the love of his life.

"We won't give in. We'll find a way to stop him, I promise. Come on, we should get you to bed. Our baby-boy needs to rest with his mommy", he said brightly and kissed the tip of her nose.

Jenny arched an eyebrow. "Our baby-boy? The doctor said it wouldn't show yet. How do you know it will be a boy?", she asked in astonishment to his comment.

Nate smirked at her and pulled her up, carrying her bridal style towards their bedroom. "What can I say, I have this feeling", he only answered.

"You have this feeling?", Jenny replied stunned.

"Yeah, I have this feeling that we'll get a cute little boy. With my hair and your wonderful eyes and smile", he replied before kissing her and placing her down on the bed. He laid down next to her and let her snuggle in to him, placing one arm around her.

"Sounds like a good feeling to me."

"It's a very good feeling, indeed. Try to sleep, I need both of you happy and healthy at my side." He kissed the top of her head and gazed down on her. Watching her as she closed her eyes, exhausted from the day and the previous event.

Jenny was deep asleep, Nate still watching her. He couldn't find any rest after what had happened that evening. It was now two in the morning. He managed to wriggle himself out from under her, without waking her up. He grabbed his phone and walked silently over into the future baby bedroom. He sat down in the arm chair.

Nate hit button number three for speed dial and waited while the phone was ringing. With luck he wouldn't wake them up. He needed help with this matter and they were the only ones he could think of right now that could help him.

"What? This better be a very good emergency, Archibald, or you so gonna regret calling us at this unholy hour. Do you even know how late it is?", a very grumpy and tired sounding Blair snapped into the phone.

"Yes, I know. It's two am and I wouldn't call if it wasn't urgent. Since when do you answer Chuck's phone?", he asked back, ignoring her angry state.

Blair sighed and yawned. "Guess he is up and looking after Henry. Our little man wasn't feeling so good tonight. And as I have an awesome, loving husband, he got up without waking me. But therefore his phone won't stop ringing and took over that job. So what is it, Nate?"

"Jasper", he only stated annoyed and couldn't even believe that he had to deal with this stuff. For two entire years they had their freedom, and one single DVD seemed to crush their built life into pieces. At least Jenny had looked like that earlier. Nate didn't even want to think about it anymore, but he had too. This was far from over.

Blair choked at the other end of the line. "Excuse me, could you repeat that? I thought I heard you say Jasper", she replied in disbelief., now wide awake.

"Then you heard right", Nate made it clear without going into further detail.

"Jasper,… Jasper, you've got to be kidding me. He is back in town?", she asked still baffled over the information.

"Well, I don't know if he is in town, but somehow back in our life. Jenny received a DVD today which contained round about two hundred screen shots of their private video. The only ones who know about this are we and him", Nate explained.

"And the wedding guests", Blair muttered. "But I doubt that they got their hand on a copy, so yeah, it makes sense. Is this bastard blackmailing you?"

"Not know, but it might come. There was only a short note, saying that she might like it just as much as he does. Sick bastard. Blair, I need your help to get rid of him for good. I can't let Jenny get through this again. You should have seen her when she opened one of the files...", Nate's voice broke up when thinking about the previous events.

Blair heard his voice crack, and the sad tone to it. She was more than wide awake now, she was alarmed and massively pissed that this British ass really had the guts to toy with her best friends again. She had been sure that they had taught him his lesson. Obviously he hadn't learned a thing.

"Don't worry, Nate. We won't let him get to you again. I'll check back with Chuck's PI if he knows something. You know, we kept our taps on him, just in case. I'm actually quite surprised that he didn't inform us about Jasper's move. That is weird", she mused over the lack of information.

"Maybe he didn't notice. So just so you know, he must have brought the DVD personally to our house or he did send someone. There was no address or stamp on the envelope", Nate informed her.

Blair thought about it for a minute. "Then he is well informed. I mean, to know that you're still dating isn't hard, but to know your new address. You just recently moved to your new place, how could he know?", she mused over that fact. "Whatever... we'll find out and we'll put him in place. Jenny and you should only concentrate on your wedding planning, leave the rest to us."

And on becoming parents, Nate thought, but he couldn't say it out loud. Jenny still wanted to keep it secret, to make sure that when they announce everything would be alright. He was pretty sure that nothing would happen anymore, but now... hopefully tonight's events didn't harm their unborn baby.

"Thanks Blair, it means so much. Let me know when you have found out anything", he told her.

Blair smiled at the other end. "I sure will. Nate, we've always been there for each other. That will never change. We're family. Good night and take care of her."

Nate laughed slightly. "I will, sister. Go back to sleep, and sorry for waking you up."

Blair ended the phone call and laid Chuck's phone back on the bedside table. She hadn't realized that her husband had come back into the room. Chuck stood silently in the doorway, watching her over.

"What was that all about? Is Nate in trouble again?", he asked cautious, as he only heard the last pieces of their conversation.

Blair jumped a little by the fact that she was addressed. "Yeez, you want to give me a heart attack?", she accused him playfully. "No, he is not in trouble. At least not in that kind of as he once was with your dad. But it seems as our British friend has made an appearance again", she informed him on the topic of that late night call.

Chuck walked into the room and closed the door halfway. "That's not possible, I would know about it. I made it very clear to James that I want to know whenever he is leaving the country. Especially when his destination is New York. Jasper can't be here", he stated matter of fact.

"Well...", Blair dragged the word out, "...then he has some help here in the city. Jenny received a DVD today with screen shots of that sex video. The mail wasn't send but brought personally to their house."

Chuck's eyes widened a bit over the information. "So he did make copies, just as we thought. This fucking little bastard. I'll call James first thing in the morning to find out where Jasper is and who he had contact to lately. Does he wants money?"

"They don't know. There wasn't any demand for it yet. Only a short note that he thought Jenny would like it just as much as he does", Blair spat out disgusted.

Chuck laid down in bed next to her and moved closer to take her in an embrace. Blair cuddled into his side, kissing his cheek. "We'll find out what he wants and we'll put him in place", he said sternly.

Blair started to giggle over his comment, causing Chuck to gaze at her in bewilderment. "What is so funny about this situation? Mind to enlighten me."

"Just the fact that I told Nate exactly the same, with exactly the same words", she responded sweetly and kissed him shortly. "We are so alike, it's quite creepy sometimes."

Chuck held on to her tighter, smirking. "I like it a lot about us. It only proofs on how much we match. And maybe we both do think about a certain activity right now too", he replied in his best bedroom voice.

Blair shivered a bit, smiling up at him. "Quite positive", she answered and slid up to close his lips with a searing kiss.

The young woman stared on the screen of her laptop. The video was still running, showing a young blonde woman having sex with her boyfriend, riding him in pure pleasure. Her boobs were jiggling, and her honey blonde hair was swinging from side to side with each collision of their bodies. The camera was set up at the side of the couple allowing a perfect view of him penetrating her over and over.

I never thought that she was so naughty, but on the other hand… she was a bitch during high school. I shouldn't be too surprised, the brunette thought. Who would have thought that my trip to London would turn out so good? She smirked and thought back of her encounter with the young man she was now watching on video how he screwed his girlfriend at that time. This is too good to be true. I will destroy her and take what was always meant to be mine!

Hey out there, hope you guys are still with me. So finally an update. My holidays were amazing. Rome is such an outstanding city. We had amazing weather, saw some of the most unbelievable places. Still can't believe that I had been there. If ever you get the chance to go there, do it!

Anyways, it's time to get back to what's more important - and that is NJ of course :) So it seems as their engagement time and wedding planning won't go as smooth as they were hoping for. It's a short chapter but the next chapter will surely be longer and more intense - promise!

Let me know what you think and would like to happen next. Have a wonderful weekend!
