Sorry for not updating! but it took me awhile to get used to my new town since I moved etc.! Well now Im back and writing again!

Note: I dont know about the pairings yet because well- all these characters have interacted some way and there is a lot to come like: Jenny/Chuck, Jenny/Nate, Serena/Dan, Serena/Nate, Chuck/Blair, Blair/Dan lol. BUT mostly its about Jenny of course and Chuck plays a big part too with Nate and Blair... Dont like? Dont read :) Negative and posivite comment is always welcome!

Oh and the name! apparently it caused a lot of confusion: Why Charlie? Well THAT will be explained in the next chapter- it has a very good story behind it.. kind I just happen to like the name Charlie.

Storyline: Doesnt follow the show because I said so.. lots of themes from there, but major plot twists with my own creativity.

Copyright: Dont own this show or it's characters :( Wish I did.


Her mother stared at her in shock and horror. Her mouth opened and closed several times. She didn't know what to say, "Is… is this some type of prank by your dad and Dan? Because it is not funny in any way." She shook her head slowly.

"No, it's true." Jenny said quietly, leaning against her bedroom wall.

Allison's jaw dropped and she leaned back against the wall aswell. She knew something was up soon as she started skipping breakfasts and closing herself in her room for the rest of the day. That morning she had found her crying her eyes out as she clutched to one of her pillows.

"How did this happen? When and who would do this?" her questions, though expected, still made the younger girl tremble as more tears slipped out.

"We both know the answer to that, mom." It was the answer she had practiced inside her mind million times before coming forward with her secret.

Finally, her mother raked her fingers through her own messy blonde hair with a loud sigh, "Who's the father?" she asked, her own voice starting to shake.

Jenny bit her lip and looked away quickly, "Don't make me say it." She muttered.

"Jenny," Her voice was a bit intimating this time, "I need to know."

"It's…" The seventeen year old stared away, not knowing how to exactly say it. Her heavy breathing filled the room as the tears came back. She was soon on the floor hugging her knees and shaking her head, "I can't."

Allison went over to her and knelt down next to her, "Jenny, please."

"Chuck." Her disoriented thoughts gave her away, "Chuck Bass."

With a tired sigh and a deep breath, she took her hand,

"What happened, baby?" she whispered.

The teenager told her mom about her downward spiral, about how she had gotten a bit drunk with him after talking to her dad about moving to Hudson, that she was sorry, about how Chuck had made her feel like she wasn't alone for a moment that night, how sorry she was, that having sex had really hurt, about taking the pregnancy test, then taking four more, that she was really sorry, how she had turned out. A failure to her parents. The older woman stared at her for a moment before bursting into tears. Jenny quickly clung to her, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry mom."

"It's not your fault," She had calmed down a bit, "I should have tried harder."

"Mom…"

"I should have been there for you."

Silence finally filled the room as both of their tears faded. Shock had turned into confusion.

"What do you want to do?"

"I tried to and wanted this to go away," She explained with a raspy voice as her mom listened, "But I couldn't do it."

Allison squeezed her daughters fragile hands tighter, promising herself that this time she wouldn't let go.


Jenny raised her hand for the third time in attempt to knock on their door, but always ended up doubting herself and backed away from the door. She cursed silently as she straightened her leather jacket. Taking a deep breath and raising her right hand once more- she knocked the door. It felt like forever before she heard something very familiar. The sound of footsteps and her dad humming quietly grew louder as Jenny closed her eyes and waited for the door to open.

"Jenny?"

Too shocked for words, she only stood there with her eyes innocently wide.

His surprised expression changed into a warm smile and he hugged her without much thinking about it. Rufus had missed his daughter and everything what they had experienced before she left had faded from his mind. They were only bad memories and what he saw now was something he didn't think he would ever see again. Jenny looked healthy. Her face was glowing and she had put on some weight- She still was thin, but not bony like she was before she left. There was something about her that made her look more feminine and mature. Jenny buried her face in the warmth of his flannel shirt while he stroked her hair. When the hug finally ended he took another glance at her and saw something he didn't like. The fear and worry etched across her face brought back those bad memories, "What are you doing here Jenny?"

She didn't know what to do. Suddenly running seemed like the best option.

"Does your mom know you're here?" He stared and said sternly.

Jenny gulped as she heard footsteps coming from behind her. Allison was carrying baby Charlie in his car seat and stopped behind Jenny. Dumbfounded, Rufus gazed at both of them and then his attention was caught by the baby boy who was happily chewing a toy in the car seat.

The young girl turned to her mom and snapped, "Mom I said twenty minutes."

"It's been over twenty minutes," Allison insisted, "So you didn't-"

"No I didn't." Jenny panicked.

Rufus watched them argue and then looked back at the baby, "What's going on?"

She looked at her dad and she felt like crying right there at that spot.

Thankfully her mom saved her from this, "Can we please have this conversation inside?"

Doubtful Rufus nodded and the trio walked inside. Allison placed the car seat on the floor and sighed, "You need to lay off the food little man," She scooped him up and gave him a sloppy peck, "Such a big boy!"

Jenny smiled and her eyes brightened up. This didn't go unnoticed by her dad who crossed his arms, "Ready to fill me in?"

Allison looked at Jenny and then back at Rufus, "You should sit down."

"I don't need to." He snapped back at his ex.

"Fine." She said back as fiercely.

For a minute they were all just staring at each other.

"I didn't know you were pregnant," Rufus shot a quick glance at Allison and then looked at the cute baby boy in her arms, "Who's the dad?"

The older blonde sighed and looked at her daughter. She knew this would hurt like a bitch for the man.

Jenny bit her lip anxiously, "Dad."

"What Jen'?"

She looked at her mom and gave her a slight nod. Allison smiled proudly back and handed the baby to Jenny. She embraced him and inhaled his natural baby scent. With tears in her eyes, she looked back at her dad, "I'm sorry."

Rufus stared at the sight frightened. He didn't want to believe what the rational part of his brains was saying, "Allison.. You d-didn't answer my question." he stuttered losing his cool.

Her voice was just a whisper, but it broke his heart anyway, "I can't answer that question."

There was deadly silence.

He stared at them stunned and took support from the arm chair next to him, "What are you trying to say?"

Jenny sniffled and tried to smile through her tears as she turned to look at the only thing that made sense in her world, "Dad, I want you to meet Charlie," Her voice was shakier than before, "My son."


He didn't want to raise his voice because of the baby, but he did anyway. After fifteen minutes ranting about how betrayed and hurt he was, he turned to Allison, "You knew! All this time!"

"Rufus please," She motioned toward Jenny and the fussy baby, "Don't do this. Not in front of Charlie-"

He took a deep breathe and closed his eyes tiredly, "Jenny, go to your room."

"Dad, don't blame mom. I asked her to do this. Please, I'm so sorry-"

"Now!"

Jenny cradled Charlie against her chest and walked out of the room.

Soon as they were alone Allison looked back at him with a pleading stare, "This is difficult enough for her. Don't make this about yourself when she has been suffering for this entire time."

"You should have told me!" He yelled back angrily, "You two hid this from me, Dan-Dan for Gods sakes! This is our family! Families don't do this to each other."

"It was what she wanted!"

"She is just a kid!" Rufus glared at her, "Jenny is seventeen Allison. Everything she has dreamed off is gone. She is in high school- Did she even go to school while she was in Hudson?"

"No," She answered calmly, "I didn't think she needed the pressure."

"She had a baby! You don't think she would need some limits in her life?" He shook his head as everything was sinking in, "Who is the father?"

Allison had hoped he would catch that information on Charlie himself and his name, but apparently he hadn't. She awkwardly switched her position and cursed under her breath.

"Tell me already! Who is Charlie's…" It hit him like a ton of bricks as he finally said his name out loud.

"Rufus.." She tried to reach out, but he pushed her hand away and allowed himself to have a moment.

"I hope you're hungry, I brought lunch!" Lily's voice echoed as she stepped inside, "I went by that place on third street and figured-" She stopped. Confused by the scene, she took a step back and looked at Rufus, "What's going on?"


"How old is he?" Lily finally spoke up. She had her fingers laced with Rufus's and they sat together on the sofa. It took a lot of work for both of the women to keep Rufus there and not let him run out of the door. He was clearly more than upset and hadn't exactly been a fan of Chucks and his pretty face. Rufus sat there staring at the floor, his teeth clenched and knuckles white. He was ready to find that bastard and give him a nice makeover, including a black eye.

"Six months. Soon seven."

Lily still couldn't believe what she was hearing. The fact that Chuck had done this with Jenny made her feel obviously guilty. She was the one who brought him into their house after all. She just couldn't comprehend that he would even consider going that low. She is underage and most importantly they were like half siblings. Lily's face remained emotionless while her eyes started to tear up, "So the times she has visited us… She has been a mom and last Christmas she was pregnant."

Allison nodded while Rufus shook his head in disappointment. Deep inside he knew something was up when she suddenly didn't want to even visit them later in spring. He remembered it like yesterday how she had insisted that they didn't have to visit her and she was better than fine. It sounded more like she was getting back to herself as time passed on. They still talked almost everyday and he never would have guessed that she was freaking pregnant. Her weird clothes were starting to make sense too. Of course she had been hiding the baby bump when she still could pull it off and was visiting them during winter break.

"I need to talk to her."

"Rufus," Lily squeezed his hand, "Just remember that she needs us to support her."

He nodded at his wife and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. Before walking out of the room he glanced disapprovingly at Allison, "I will never forgive you for this."

The woman stared at the floor in shame. She felt actually hurt by his words, but still remained gracefully in her spot and took what was coming to her. Of course she knew they needed to know the truth, but she didn't want Jenny to end up hating her more. At the time hiding Charlie felt like the best thing to do. She would have never forgiven herself if something had happened to Jenny. Allison had definitely seen her at her worst.

"He doesn't mean it." Lily got up and smiled sadly, "He just gets that way when it involves somebody he loves."

Allison grimaced, "I should have told him earlier."

"We can't change the past."

"Sometimes I wish we could," Allison stared at the polished woman in front of her, "It's been one hell of a year."

"But you stood by her," She said supportively which caught the other woman off guard, "Not many mothers could do that for their daughters."

"Thanks. I appreciate that."

"So.. How is Jenny? I mean this must have been hard for her. I can't even imagine how she feels."

Allison suddenly smiled, "She loves that baby boy more than anything. The first months were hard, but she pulled through and I think this has only had an positive impact on her. I know she has bad days like all of us, but I think this all happened for a reason. Charlie saved my daughter."


For almost an hour, Charlie had snuggled contentedly against Jenny's chest, opening

his eyes occasionally to peek at her. It was almost scary how he seemed be growing so fast. It felt like yesterday when she held him for the first time. He had been so small that she was afraid to hold him. She smiled as he yawned and the pacifier from his mouth dropped. A flash of innocent panic was seen on his beautiful big brown eyes. He managed to let out an ear piercing cry, wailing at the top of his tiny little lungs and Jenny sighed, "Gosh, you really love that pacifier don't you." She held the little one firmly while picking up the pacifier and brushed it off before putting it back to the baby's mouth, "Shhh."

Charlie gladly accepted the pacifier and continued to enjoy it like he always did.

She looked down at the baby in her arms and grinned when he tilted his head up to look at her, "I love you so much. No matter what happens. You need to know that Charlie." Jenny cooed at him, placing her little finger in her son's tiny palm and watching his small pudgy fingers close around it and squeeze it gently.

She grinned widely, but was brought back to reality when she heard Rufus cough. He was standing in the doorway to the her room. The air between them felt thick and stressed. Jenny held the baby boy, feeling awkward, especially when her dad watched her so intensively.

"I didn't mean for this to happen," She told him without looking at him, "I would be lying if I said I didn't regret-"

"No." He said, as if he didn't believe what she was saying.

Jenny snapped her eyes to him."I don't want you to say that you regret having him," Rufus said softly while examining the baby from a distance, "You made a brave choice and I'm proud of you for that. I just don't understand why- Why couldn't you come to me?"

Her bottom lip shook with the intensity of her emotions, "I couldn't let you down! After everything that happened with Damien and the drugs I couldn't do that to you," Her breath was caught in her throat as fresh tears came to her eyes, "The night Chuck and I… The night it happened, I swore to myself that it would be the last straw," She didn't allow him to say anything even though he looked like wanted to. Instead she continued to speak and finally said what needed to be said, "I wanted to protect you and Dan from me- from the person I had turned into. When I found out I was pregnant I knew this was someone saying that I needed to get my shit back together and deal with the consequences. I just didn't know.. I would actually feel like this," Jenny locked her eyes with her son, "I don't feel like I'm alone anymore."

Rufus looked pained as he watched her embrace the baby, "Jenny," For a while, he said nothing and when he spoke, his words came out confident, "You were never alone."

He walked over to her and extended his arms, "Can I hold him?"

Jenny's eyes widened. Her brain picking up on the fact that maybe she wasn't doomed after all. She sniffled once more and handed Charlie to him. Rufus stared at the little boy wide eyed as the baby lets out a loud, happy wail and then gurgled softly. He had a lot of hair for his age and it was thick brown. It matched his big chocolate colored eyes and the baby seemed to have Chuck Bass all over him. Rufus gulped nervously- almost a bit worried about how he would be able to look at the innocent baby without thinking about the man who seemed to bring chaos to their lives more than a hurricane. He looked at his chubby cheeks and smiled as he noticed a feature he definitely recognized. Charlie had inherited his mothers thin upper lip and most importantly, her smile. She wiped away the sticky tears from the corner of her eyes and approached them, "He likes you." She rubbed off the drool that was dripping down her son's chin. Her dad still seemed stiff and held Charlie away from him a little.

"Bababababa." Came his surprised babble.

A nervous dry laugh escaped Rufus's mouth, "Well this is.." He thought about what he wanted to say and swallowed awkwardly, "something I definitely have to get used to."

She looked at them with suspicious eyes, "You're not the only one."

"I still can't believe this."

"Dad.. I know this is hard for you and we are going back to Hudson soon as you're-"

"I'm fine," He held Charlie a little bit more closer now, "The gallery is fine. We had a little bump on the road, but Lily managed to get us more investors. There was nothing really urgent."

"That's good," She felt relived, "but, our home is still at Hudson. I hope you understand that. This place just-" Jenny looked at Charlie who was starting to babble and wiggle again, "It brings out the bad memories and I don't want that in our lives right now."

Rufus looked surprised by how determined she sounded- her whole attitude towards life had really changed and he could tell that by just looking at her, "I know that Jen'. I just don't want you to feel alienated from your family."

"He is also my family now," Jenny gave her son a wide smile, "I have to protect him from all of them." He caught the clue. She meant the bitchy social circles surrounded by the one and only Gossip Girl.

"What about Chuck?" Even saying his name seemed to drive him crazy from inside.

The tension returned. Her eyes met his for a long moment, "What about him?"

Rufus looked at the baby in his arms, "We both know I don't want to talk about the pre-baby situation, but I still need to know what happened."

"Then let's just save the embarrassment and don't talk about it." She snapped, her old way of cringing her teeth at annoying topics showing through, "We have a baby. I think that sums it up pretty good."

"Were you seeing each other?"

Jenny's nose crinkled up, "Ew! No. That's so gross."

Rufus rolled his eyes and handed her Charlie, "Do I need to remind you about this little guy?"

She sighed slowly, "It was not like that."

"Then what happened?"

"It was stupid," Her mind flickered back to the moment she'd seen him the last time. She had always believed in love and considered herself as a romantic when she was couple years younger. Of course that was when she was naïve and believed that making love would be a wonderful, touching experience that you would remember all your life. Then reality kicked in that night and Jenny found out it was far from that-

It's sticky and disgusting, literally. There was nothing romantic about the whole fiasco. It was mainly just him doing his thing while she tried not to move. Chuck wasn't really a gentleman either. She still remembered it like yesterday, how he hovered over her panting and growling while she managed to whimper a few times from the pain, definitely not the pleasure. She had heard from some girls that it would hurt for a few minutes. What a joke- It burned like hell and after several minutes of discomfort it became slimy and even more gross, then it was over. She quickly blocked the memory from her mind once more, "There is nothing more to it."

Silence stretched between them for a good amount of time.

"Jenny.." Rufus began slowly, knowing this was his last hope of getting any information out of his stubborn daughter, "Did he.. Did he make you do it?"

"What?" Jenny glanced up and his eyes seemed to dig into hers, "No!"

He'd watched silently as she swallowed herself in self-pity, "It was a mistake okay? I was stupid to believe that I could relate to him and he was my friend," She mocked herself. She laughed to hide the humiliation written across her face, "I just didn't care anymore. I felt like nothing mattered because everyone hated me."

Rufus shook his head and took a threatening step forward, "Don't you ever start blaming yourself for this."

"I do blame myself. Just like I blame Chuck. It wasn't just him that night," Jenny looked down at Charlie who had clung on to her long blonde hair, "But I'm making the best of it and as long as he is happy-I'll be fine. He is the reason why I get up in the morning and the reason why I'm here now." Jenny looked at her dad and smiled uncertainly, "He deserves to know his family."


"Wow." Lily had joined them in the room and stared at the baby who was currently being fed by Jenny with a bottle, "He actually looks like.." Rufus shot a glance at Lily and she realized what she was saying, "I mean.. he is adorable Jenny."

Jenny rolled her eyes, "You don't have to tip toe around this."

"I didn't mean to be insensitive," She was being sincere, "This is just a lot to take in."

She understood that. Lily and Rufus had taken this a lot better than she had expected. Jenny had been ready be thrown out of the house and most importantly their lives.

She turned her attention to the nervous adults, "I'm sorry about everything. I didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings." Jenny looked down at Charlie and smiled, "I just want him to know that I love him. No matter what happened in the past- I don't regret this." She could tell that this still bothered her dad a lot. He looked at her differently than he did before. Jenny knew that Rufus was disappointed in her and the way she had acted recently. She knew it would take a lot of work for them to understand each other again. This couldn't be fixed with apologies and a few conversations. It would take time, but Jenny was ready for that. She didn't want to worry about it because she knew that one day he would understand her. Lily had made her way to her and was perched on the side of her bed, watching Charlie with a smile playing on her lips, "He's gorgeous. A little heart breaker when he's older."

"I hope not."
