Sorry for not updating sooner. I had a total writers block.


"You are gonna get me into a lot of trouble aren't you?" The young mom was on her back against the hotel's fluffy carpet with little Charlie on top of her who was staring back at her with his big eyes, "Why do you have to be so damn cute?" Jenny wrinkled her nose playfully and laughed as he did the same mimicking her.

"Jen you need to feed him." Came a yell from the nearby bathroom.

She rolled her eyes. Still after seven months her mom was bugging her about taking care of her own child. She had appreciated it in the beginning because being seventeen and having a baby had driven her over the edge. She wouldn't be there without her mom today, but it bothered her when Allison was acting like she knew what was better for Charlie. It was not like she was a perfect mom now, but everything had changed for her and she needed more time for herself and her little man.

"Jenny! Did you hear me?" Allison peeked out the bathroom, her hair wet and a towel around her, "You need to feed him!"

"I know mom!" She yelled back causing Charlie to become fussy, "I don't need you to yell at me after everything that has happened today. Gosh stop being so inconsiderate." The woman who was clearly annoyed with her daughter shook her head and slammed the bathroom door closed.

They were staying in a rather fancy hotel that her dad was paying, but this was just for a couple of days. Jenny had decided to sleep the night and then tell the rest of the family about Charlie. Rufus and Lily had agreed on her decision. They also needed some time to talk this through without more people bugging in with their questions. Jenny didn't know what to think when it came to the next day. She had to tell Dan and it broke her heart. Thankfully she had Charlie who was keeping her busy, "We better feed you so that grandma won't kill momma." Jenny scooped him up and held him above her head, rubbing her nose against his, "You're such a goober!"

She had to keep going for him and him only. The next week was going to be a struggle. There were big decisions to be made. She had gotten used to the life at Hudson. It was simple without the backstabbing girls and the drama. The thought of being back at Upper East Side made her very uneasy. In the two hours that had passed, she had rocketed through a range of emotions, from happiness to despair, but, above all, she was extremely confused. The fact that her dad now knew was a huge relief. It would take a lot of healing for them and their relationship.

"Here is your ba ba." She gently started the rhythm of tugging on the bottle every now and then to encourage him to stop, swallow and breathe. Charlie was happy with the attention and occupied himself with babbling away with the few sounds as he was being fed. Jenny grinned at his adorably little face; he was so focused on the bottle. Allison stepped out of the bathroom in a white robe and smiled at the sight, "You want me to hold him?"

Jenny shook her head, her playful eyes turning gravely serious, "I can take care of my own son."

"I did not mean it like that Jenny," Her mom responded firmly, "You're tired and I'm just offering my help."

Jenny sighed and smiled weakly, "I know sorry for.. I uh.. I guess I'm nervous about everything." She handed the bottle and Charlie to Allison. The blonde dropped dramatically on to the bed with a huff and closed her eyes for a moment.

The older woman tried to read her, but really had no clue on what was going on inside that pretty head of hers. "Is…" She glanced down at the boy in her arms and then back up at her, "Is everything alright?"

Jenny's heart pounded in her chest. There was something that needed to be said, but she did not want to say it out loud making it a reality.

"You know Dan will understand," She tried her best to be encouraging, "I know telling your dad today was hard enough and it won't get any easier, but you need to give this subject some time. We made a decision to protect you and Charlie when he was born- remember that okay?"

Jenny didn't answer right away. She ran her hands through her hair and finally looked at Allison, "I'm gonna tell Chuck tomorrow."


"…Therefore if we raise the budget we have more to work with. With all respect Charles- this isn't working. We do not have the sources we need to make Bass industries.."

Chuck stared ahead not even listening to the man who was explaining something about.. hell he didn't know or even care at that point. The little muscle in his jaw twitched nervously as he leaned back against the office chair he was sitting on. It was like his brains were stuck or had been stuck ever since- Blair. She had not spoken to him after coming back from France. Not that it was surprise. Blair Waldorf was one of the most- correction, was the most stubborn person he had met during his lifetime and Chuck Bass knew a lot of people. He had tried everything, but she wasn't giving in.

"Charles?"

He shook his head and stared at the man in front of him with tired eyes, "Yes… William?"

The man clearly wasn't impressed by the younger man, "It's Wilson, but close enough." He slammed the file he was holding on Chuck's desk, "My name is the least of your worries right now. We need some decisions if you want this company to keep going."

"Well, William.. Wilson.. whatever, I hired you to do that. So do your job and keep this place going." Chuck told him with obvious distaste, casting him a dark glare before going back to what he had been doing in the first place; staring at the wall in misery.

The man shook his head and took the file with him. He paused by the doors and turned to look at him, "One last thing- The investors are getting concerned so I advice you to stop using the money from the main bank account. We are already cleaning up after your mistakes and we don't need you spending the last dimes what we have on booze and whores."

Chuck looked at him square in the eye, "The next time you feel like giving me advice.. I would re-consider it for the sake of your job," His expression was dark as usual, "Out."

The sound of the door slamming didn't even make him flinch. He just sighed deeply and leaned against the comfortable chair. Without giving it much thought he opened the first drawer and took out his salvation. Chuck smiled at the bottle before pouring himself a good amount of the liquid. He held his glass up and looked at the portrait of his father that hang on the wall, "Cheers."

Small pitiful laugh escaped his lips before the amber liquid burned down his throat and made his head swim once again.


"You want to talk about it?" Lily sat next to Rufus who seemed to be lost in his thoughts. He was looking at the baby book Jenny had given him earlier.

Every page he turned seemed to tear his heart apart all over again.

"I don't know anything anymore." He sighed with frustration and rubbed his tired eyes, "I keep waiting to wake up. This is insane."

He turned another page with notes that Jenny had written when she was at the hospital. Rufus looked at the picture glued on to the page, "How did I miss it? She was pregnant the whole time and we had no idea. How is that possible?"

"Jenny is a small girl," Lily weighed into the subject, "I guess she just wasn't ready to deal with it back then."

"But Jenny is a girl! Like you said, a girl Lillian!" His stare was not hard, but rather unsure, "She is a child taking care of a child. How is that right?"

The woman next to him leaned against him and dropped her head on his shoulder, "I don't know. I really don't know Rufus."

They kept flipping the pages and looking at the pictures in awe. Not used to the idea of being actual grandparents.

"Did she.. Did she tell you how and when.." Lily tried to mutter out the question bothering her mind, but came up short, "I mean Chuck and her? What exactly happened?"

His whole body tensed up when he was mentioned, "She told me it was nothing serious," Rufus squeezed his eyes shut then opened them, trying to think around the pounding in his head, "They were never anything serious."

She didn't know should she sigh in relief or cry her eyes out because of the situation. Her hand found his and she squeezed it, "I know you wanted to go and have a word with him, but Jenny needs to come clean to him before we go there and make things even more complicated."

He knew she was right, but it didn't mean it wasn't hard to just sit there when he could have been hunting down the bastard who used his girl and threw her out like trash, "I know that," Rufus's eyes were narrowed, prepared, "Tomorrow is a whole new day."

Lily felt uneasy because she knew this would be so blown out of proportions and someone would end up hurt.


"You can't be serious." Allison tried to keep her voice down as they continued with the subject after putting Charlie into the crib, "I'm not letting you go alone."

"Mom," She whined, "I don't want you there going all psychotic while I'm trying to explain to him that we have a kid."

Allison scoffed at that, and looked away for a moment, and Jenny didn't understand what it was she said that was wrong.

"What?"

"You're talking like you care," She complained, "Chuck Bass doesn't deserve any nice words and explanations."

Jenny didn't want to listen and her voice became strained, "Do you really think that I'm that stupid? Mom I'm going there to talk to him like a grownup because if you go there threatening him he will be even worse."

She waited quietly as Allison seemed uncertain of how to respond. Hoping to offer a little feeling of relief, Jenny reached out and took her mother's hand in hers, giving it an encouraging squeeze, "I know what I'm doing. Trust me. I'm doing this for Charlie and not him."

Allison smiled back, "I trust you Jenny, but I don't trust him."

"Me neither, but I'm not going to let him have the satisfaction of ruining Charlie's life when he is older and is looking for answers behind his door. I don't want him to know what and who Chuck is to him," She said, meaning every word, "I'd rather tell him his father is dead than it is actually Chuck Bass."


Blair Waldorf ran a brush through her brown locks and focused on the mirror while doing so. Serena was lying down on her gorgeous canopy bed and yawned, "You mind if I stay for the night? I'm too tired to go home."

The brunette chuckled and turned to look at her, "S, are you still avoiding Humphrey? It's been like forever and sleeping in here two days a week isn't much of a plan."

Serena crinkled her nose in denial, "I've told you this a thousand times Blair. I'm not avoiding Dan. We are being… normal- like normal people who live in the same house while one of them might have blurted out that they still love this other person."

Blair shook his head and rolled her eyes, "Why can't you just give in and tell him that you love him too since it's all you think about?" She flipped her hair one last time and walked over to the bed, "Even though I think you could find so much better than Humphrey from Brooklyn."

"I don't!" The blonde raised her head from the pillow and looked dumbfounded," I just need more time and I'm not ready to jump into that again. Besides," Serena mumbled tiredly, "Chuck isn't any better." Mentioning Chuck Bass around Blair was never smart. Chuck had made it to the does-not-exist list and was not coming out of there in a long time.

She realized the mistake of mentioning him,"I didn't mean to—"

"No." Blair took a steady breath and looked back at her, "No. It's okay. I'm so over it."

Serena can't help but wonder if she really does mean it. A silence fills the room, "I wish we could go back to Paris."

"You're not the only one S." She groaned before reaching for her phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Just checking…"

"You have got to be kidding me," Serena protested, "I thought you were not interested on what she does anymore."

There was a teasing smile on Blair's lips, "I'm not interested in her." She reassured her, "I'm interested in all of us. Everyone around us."

The blonde laughed disapprovingly and didn't mind protesting anymore.

Her friend focused on the phone she was holding and kept scrolling the posts, "You have got to be kidding me."

"What?" Serena sat up alarmingly, "B, what's wrong?"

"She is back."

"What? Who?"

"Jenny," Blair snarled, "Jenny Humphrey."

Her brown eyes were focused on the picture of the blonde stepping inside what used to be her home.

"She is probably just visiting her dad, don't worry about it."

"For her sake I hope that's true."
