A visitor

"Who are they" asked Claire

"Why don't you go play with your friends?" Serena said while giving her brother a death glare.

"Okay." She turned and ran to the kids, "See ya later Aunt Serena and Uncle Eric." She called.

"What is he doing here?" Serena asked in a deadly whisper.

"Well, she IS five, and-"

"NO! If Blair wanted HIM to know then SHE would have told HIM, FIVE YEARS AGO. Hell maybe even nine months before that." She screamed at her brother, only then remembering his other guest. "Alex, it's great to see you again!" she greeted her brother's boyfriend.

"It's nice to see you to, Serena."

"Go ahead in and see everyone. Eric, why the hell would you bring him?" she asked gesturing towards the dark haired boy next to her brother.

"Serena, I don't know why you're mad at me." the mystery man said, "I didn't even know Blair was pregnant when I left!" he said.

"Yes, I know you didn't' but Blair is her mother, and if she wanted you to know she would have told you, Chuck." Serena said

"Well, I have a right to my daughter!" Chuck yelled. At this moment Blair walked out and slapped Chuck.

""What the Hell was that for?" he yelled.

"She's going to hear you." Blair said.

"Can I talk to you outside?" Chuck asked.

"Sure" Blair said and, after sharing a look with Serena, lead the way outside.

"You wanna tell me why the hell I didn't even know I had a daughter?"

"Because, can you honestly say you wouldn't have been angry at me and you would have been there for me five years ago?" she said.

"Well, I- "

"Exactly." She said.

"That doesn't give you a right to keep that from me."

"Maybe not. Maybe I should have told you but I did what I thought best, maybe it wasn't but at the time it seemed that way."

"Can I know her?"

"If you don't leave. I love my daughter and you won't know her at all if you don't plan to be permanent."

"I do. I want to play the role of her father. I want her to know me." She saw the sincerity in him.

"Fine. C'mon." and she walked into the house. They walked up to Claire, who was on Nate's shoulders, and Chuck's heart broke when he saw how close they were.

"So you want chocolate and strawberry ice cream, Claire-Bear?" they heard him ask.

"Yes! I want one scoop of each, Uncle Nate." She said giggling at him.

"What do you say?" he asked smiling at her.

"Yummie!" she said sticking her tongue at him.

"No." he said trying to look serious.

"Thank you?"

"Yes."

"Can I borrow her for a second please Nate?" Blair asked

"But Moooommy! He's getting me ice-cream."

"Then can I borrow you when you get your ice-cream?" she asked smiling at the little girl who could be her clone.

"Yes!" she said smiling. "Who's he?" she asked, noticing the man next to her mom for the 1st time.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Babe." Blair said reaching up to touch her cheek. Nate was making the ice cream cone and, every once in a while, giving Chuck a glare.

"So Princess, are you just using me to get the ice-cream?" Nate asked.

"Nooo. I looooove youuuuuuuuu Uncle Nate." She said lauching and kicking her legs earning an 'ouch' from Nate, causing her to stop. When he finished, he handed it up to her, then took her down and kissed her left cheek, lips, and other cheek.

"Have fun." He said after giving her to her mom. They walked away to tell her who Chuck was.
