The following morning, Blair woke up in Chuck's bed. Chuck's bed. She liked that thought .She saw Chuck go out of the bathroom wearing a suit.
She said:" You do not have to dress formal for me.
He said:" Its not for you, I am going to work.
_Wait for me, I will come with you.
_I'd rather you not.
_Fine, I will bring you lunch at three.
_I must have missed out on the part where I said I want to hang out with you."
His back was turned to her as he chose his jacket; she put her hand on his arm and said:" You cannot be serious."
He said, shaking off her hand:" You cannot be touching me."
Blair zipped up her dress and turned to leave, avoiding his eyes, trying to preserve some pride.
Now she knew how Chuck felt when they had the same exchange of words last year, but it was the other way around.
He grabbed her arm as she walked toward the door, and said:" Did you really think I'd want you after you slept with my uncle?"
She replied:" You still wanted me last night."
He said, firmly:" Well not anymore."

After a few weeks, Chuck was sitting on his bed thinking everything and nothing.
"_Chuck."
He heard a voice, the voice.
He turned to her:" Blair."
He was surprised by the pain on her face. Even though he stopped things between them and even though he was sure of his decision for he trusted her and she screwed up, he did not like to see Blair Waldrof in pain.
She said: "I've been throwing up, I'm late…I think I might be pregnant."
He said: Did you take a test?
_No I came to take it here.
_Why?
_Because you are the person whom I'd want next to me."
True, he thought. If he thought he was pregnant, okay scratch that, but if he thought something was wrong, he'd go to her too.
_Second?
_Because you would be the father."
Overtook by fear and realization, he said out of control:" Who said its mine?Your not exactly a Virgin Queen anymore. You did not use protection, and it's your fault. You knew I would never forgive you, so you wanted to trap me into staying with you."
Blair stood there, shocked.
Then she entered the restroom and, after a while, went out of it.
Chuck said:" What did the test say?"
She said, nonchalantly:" This is not your business."
He said, urgent:" It is, the child is mine."
She said:" Who said it's yours? I'm not a Virgin Queen anymore."
Chuck held her arm: Are you pregnant or not?'
_You will not get your answer."
She untangled herself and walked away. He thought she was trapping him…after all they've been through.
Chuck looked after her and did not like the feeling still in his stomach , he did not like it at all….
