Claire's Penthouse,

Saturday, 2:00 p.m.

Manhattan, NYC

Claire was still in her pajamas when her phone rang. Claire sauntered over and picked up the phone. "Hello?" Claire was holding her breath hoping that it wasn't one of the two people she least wanted to talk to. "Hello? Claire? Hey! Its Olivia! Remember? We went to school together? Yeah, well listen, I'm at Alicia's concert rehearsal right now, but we wanted to know if you wanted to chill with us after the show." Claire let out a long sigh. Thank god it wasn't Cam or Massie, but Olivia Ryan wasn't any better. "Who is ' we'?" Claire asked with as much attitude as she could muster. "Y'know me, Alicia, Dylan, Kristin, and some other people. We were planning on going to the hot new club that just opened up. Its called Orange. Its on Broadway and Lafayette. You can take a cab or the subway." Claire rolled her eyes. "Well I have runway rehearsal at 3:00 so we can go later. It ends at 8:00 BTW." Olivia squealed over the other line. "Thank GAWD! I thought that you were still mad at me for what happened in 8th grade with Cam and everything. But I'm so glad that we can be friends again! Ok, so remember its called Orange, and its on Broadway and Lafayette. Ok see you there!"

Claire hung up, and rolled her eyes. It wasn't that she was still mad at Olivia for what happened in 8th grade, but it was just her overall attitude that pissed Claire off. "Well I should get dressed." Claire ran off to her closet. She decided on an Isabel Marrant Etoile cream jacket, a dark blue Biba blouse, Thakoon white and blue shorts, 'Zad multicolored necklaces, and Christian Louboutain white 4-inch-heels, and finally a suede leather Chloe hobo bag. She looked in the mirror. Her legs looked especially long and skinny today. Her hair was hanging long, and loose, and had bouncy curls at the end, to add volume. No eyeliner, light blue eyeshadow with a little tan on top, and of course her eyelashes were long. As usual no concealer, cover up, or blush. She had sprayed DKNY's Be Delicious on all of her pressure points, and she had washed her face with an apple sent face wash. All in all she looked like a total 10 plus 5 bonus points for smelling good.

Claire honestly didn't want to go to rehearsal, but she didn't have a choice. As she stepped into the elevator that goes from her penthouse all the way down to the lobby, someone pushed the button on the 10th floor. "Great! And now I'm gonna be late because some retard wants to take forever to get in the elevator!" Claire grumbled to herself. Suddenly a man with red-blond hair, freckles, a surfing tee on, and ripped up Hollister jeans stepped into the elevator. Behind him came a tan, girl with caramel colored hair, and a blinding smile, wearing a Roxy tank top, and ripped up Hollister jeans. Claire looked a them then turned away. Suddenly Claire whipped her head back around to them, and ran over to the man and gave him a hug. "Todd! What the hell are you doing in NYC! And Gretchen? OMG! Get over here right now so I can give you a hug!" Gretchen and Claire squeezed each other.

"Well we thought that we would surprise you! You seemed really down in the last message that we got, so we figured that we would cheer you up!" Claire started jumping up and down with happiness. "OMG! Claire you smell so good. And you look AMAZING!" Claire smiled at Gretchen. "Thanks Gretch! So do you!" Todd cleared his throat. "So, where are you goin'?" Claire looked up. "UGH! I have to go to runway rehearsal in and hour so I'm just getting a smoothie before I go. Hey, you guys wanna come? It will be really fast, and afterwards me and the girls are gonna go to the club and have a couple drinks. It will be really fun." Gretchen bit her lip nervously, and Todd looked down at the floor. "Actually the real reason that we came here was to tell you something. Gretchen is gonna have a baby. We just found out." Claire looked at Todd and Gretchen with disbelief. Then she screamed. "OMG! That is so wonderful! YES! I'm gonna be an aunt! Oh My Gawd, we have to teach it to surf, and OH! If its a girl then Gretchen and I will dress it in Little Marc! Omg! I'm so happy for you guys!" Claire hugged each of them. Suddenly the elevator doors opened to reveal the lobby. Claire stepped out and told them to follow her into Pinkberry. Suddenly Todd asked, "Whats Little Marc?" Gretchen and Claire looked at each other than laughed. "Its the line that Marc Jacobs designed for babies and toddlers." Claire explained.

After everyone was done with their smoothies, Claire said goodbye to Todd and Gretchen. "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Claire asked again. "We're sure! Besides we have to go visit mom and dad and tell them the news. And we will be staying in Westchester until Tuesday, if you need us! Bye Claire!" Todd said as he walked away. Claire sighed then halted a cab, and drove away. Maybe it was time that she settled down and had a family. But with who? She knew exactly who. It was...
