Please review!
After two other exhausting hours of training, Maria finally lost her nerves.
"Okay, let's cut here. I'll be honest with you. This won't work in ten years. Eric you has potential. Maybe I'll find someone for you to train with but you two," she pointed at Serena and Nate "I'm sorry but this will never work."
"Fine by me." returned a pouting Nate and an annoyed Serena nodded.
"Okay, so I'm going to inform José that he has two new bartenders and three dancers." Maria said before turning the music off.
"Uhm, bye then." Eric said before the turned around and walked to the door. Nate and Serena followed him. Eric knew that Serena would be in a foul mood right now. There was only one thing that could help against that.
"Guys, how about a visit by the donkeys?" Eric tried to light up the mood.
Nate grinned wide and Serena's pout turned into a smile.
Chuck and Blair were on their way with Pedro to the sartorial. After ten minutes of walking and not a word of conversation they finally arrived in front of a small store which Pedro entered without any comment.
"Ola Pedro!" an older woman, about mid fifty greeted him.
"Hello Anita. I bring some clients but they don't speak Spanish." Pedro replied.
"Yeah, I heard about them." the woman answered.
"You heard? From who?" Pedro furrowed.
"Isa. Let's see. This girl isn't fat." the woman commented Blair as she wasn't there. Blair's mouth formed an O but Chuck gave her a slight push.
"Why would you think she's fat?" Chuck asked nonchalant with his trademark smirk.
"That's what I heard." the woman returned as nonchalant as he said it.
Chuck could see Blair's face turn in her "beyond furious" face when she started grinning like a fool.
"Well, take the measures then. " Pedro said impatient as the old woman started to take the measures with her old measuring tape. Ten minutes later she finally had written down all the measures she needed.
"Now, that I have those, you need to decide which fabric you want. I have some yellow, blue, green, orange, purple and…well, the white silk is pretty expensive." Anita explained.
Blair gave Chuck a look and he nodded.
"We'll take yellow, blue, purple and the silk." Chuck said and Pedro opened his mouth to protest but Chuck stopped him by raising his hand. Chuck took out his purse and opened it.
"Why not spend our last money wise by dress my girl in some beautiful dresses." So he laid hundred and fifty dollar on the counter. "Is this enough to cover the costs?"
Pedro and Anita's eyes widened.
"I'll take that as a yes. Make sure the skirts are not too short." Chuck commanded.
"Don't listen to him, please. I'm sure you'll do an amazing job." Blair added another command. Anita nodded and took the money. She turned around and walked in the back office. Surely to lock it away, Chuck thought.
Pedro eyed him carefully. Chuck hold the glare and decided it would be wise to tell him the truth.
"Look, Mr. Pedro, I will be honest with you. We came to Cuba to run away from our crazy parents. We just had so much money and I just spend the rest. Since we live in my mother's house that's okay." to many of this truth wouldn't be good. Playing the poor kids would do that for them.
Pedro nodded. "That's fine. Just one thing. Stay away from my daughter."
"Excuse me?" Blair squealed.
"I saw how she looked at you, boy. And I rather see nothing happen there." Pedro said to calm Blair and don't cause a scene.
"Works fine by me since I'm going to marry this girl right here next to me." Chuck leaned over to kiss Blair's cheek and she beamed.
"A marriage?" the old woman was back and squealed.
"Not soon. But yeah." Blair answered. Pedro furrowed even more. 'Those American kids are all crazy, no question' but he decided not to comment it any further. He made his point and that was fine. Until something unexpected happened.
"Marry?" Isabella showed up. It was obvious that she hided the whole time behind the curtain of the storage.
Blair just looked at her but Chuck nodded. Isabella gulped and passed them out of the door.
"Looks like that went well." Chuck described the melo-dramatic disappear.
"It did. More than I could hope for actually." Pedro confirmed and nodded. "You can go home now. Make sure you're at the bar by seven."
"Wasn't this fun?" Eric asked his sister.
"It was!" a beaming Serena confirmed and Nate just shook his head amused.
"Okay then. Let's go home and wait for our dancing queens to arrive." Eric suggested.
"Wooowww, don't let Chuck hear this. He'll kill you." Nate chuckled.
Serena throw her arms around Eric and pressed him against her before pouting. "No, I'm not going to allow him to kill our kid over here."
"Kid?" Nate asked still chuckling.
"Yeah, I mean we're just like a family. In some different way. Mom," she pointed at herself "Dad, " she pointed at Nate who was shocked for a moment "and kid." for Eric.
"You forgot the other Mom and Dad." Eric replied laughing.
"Nooo!" Serena pouted. "They are…Uncle and Auntie."
"This is the sickest version of playing house I ever heard of." Nate added chuckling.
"Why is that?" Serena asked as her face got a bit more serious.
"Oh come on, us as Mom and Dad. Blair and Chuck as Auntie and Uncle. Which kid would survive that?" Nate asked a bit confused by her reaction.
Serena stopped walking and looked Nate straight in the eye. "Well, I guess we're going to find out sooner than you think."
"WHAT?" Eric and Nate yelled in union.
"The jig is up, isn't it." Serena said merely.
"Chuck, I want to talk about this." Blair pointed out. Chuck and Blair were on their way back to the house, hand in hand. It was past noon and the sun burned.
"What's there to talk about Blair?" Chuck asked a bit confused.
"The girl is in love with you. I can see that." Blair returned coldly.
"So? Not our problem." Chuck gave back.
"Yes it is. This will cause trouble, I know it." Blair whispered.
"Well what do you suggest?" Chuck asked teasingly.
"Tell her." Blair commanded.
"Tell her what?" Chuck furrowed.
"Tell her that you're mine." Blair said stubbornly.
"I'm yours?" Chuck asked chuckling but when he caught Blair's glare immediately stopped it.
"Yes, you're mine and you belong to me." Blair pouted. Chuck stopped, stepped in front of her and pulled her closer.
"My, my, Mrs. Bass, never knew you could be so possessive." Chuck said before he gave her a kiss on her lips.
"Mrs. Bass sounds good, you know. Blair Bass sounds right." Blair was convinced to convince him finally. No more other girls for him, EVER.
"I know love, now let's go home. We only have three more hours before our working life finally starts." Chuck said before giving her another kiss. He knew exactly how jealous she was but the other girl was just uninteresting for him, so why even think about a plot. There was something much more interesting to do, Blair that is.
"How? I mean when did this happen and how?" Nate asked. He was shocked, confused, angry, afraid…he was pretty sure that he never felt so much feelings at the same time as right now.
"I'm pretty sure, we don't need an explanation HOW this happened. " Eric returned. "But why would be interesting."
"Well, I might have skipped my vitamins once….or twice….or even more often since we left New York…" Serena admitted carefully.
"And why didn't you tell me? There would have been other ways of protection!" Nate yelled by now.
"Yeah and how would you have got them? We were on the run, Nate!" Serena yelled back as tears started
"Oh, come on. We have Chuck Bass with us. I bet he has a suitcase full of condoms with him!" Nate shouted. They finally reached the inlay of the house.
"Why would I, Nathaniel?" Chuck asked as Blair and him also arrived at the front gate.
"To prevent pregnancy?!" Nate said annoyed.
"Why should Chuck do that? I take my vitamins punctual every day. Makes things much easier, don't it?" Blair said and gave Serena a small wink before she could recognize the dried tears. "Serena wha…."
"Oh, don't ask her about taking the pill punctual, Blair. She wouldn't know anything about it." Nate spat.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chuck's face got serious and he looked from Serena to Nate to Eric and back.
"You're going to be Uncle, Chuck." Eric returned.
"Already knocked her up, huh?" an amused Chuck said. Serena finally lost it. She cried again and run down the street.
"You're idiots! All of you!" Blair yelled before following Serena. "Serena! Wait!"
"F***! F***! F*** F*** F***!!!!" Nate cursed as he started kicking the gate.
"Nathaniel, could you stop that? The gate isn't responsible for you knocking up my dear Sis." Chuck said to calm Nate from freaking.
"Why couldn't she just take the damned pill. I'm not ready to be father!" Nate said lost.
"Fate don't ask you in that department." Eric replied.
"What am I supposed to do now?" Nate asked them and them both shrugged.
"Nate, calm down now. Blair will talk to her and then we see." Chuck said.
