This chapter: Serena, Eleanor and Cyrus found out about the baby. Don't forget to review :D
"I'm going to call my mother this morning," Blair said, browsing through Chuck's wardrobe in which she kept the majority of her clothes. Technically she had still been living at the NYU dorms for the last few years, but she spent most of her time at Chuck's penthouse and preferred to keep most of her things there. "Hopefully we'll be able to go over tonight," she added, selecting a dress to wear and placing it on the bed.
"Okay, now I'm starting to get nervous," Chuck replied as he walked out of the bathroom, doing his tie.
"I thought you were looking forward to seeing Eleanor's reaction," she retorted, walking passed him and into the bathroom to put on her perfume.
"That was before I realised that she actually might kill me," he explained, putting on the jacket of his suit, "Or worse, castrate me."
Blair smirked as she walked back into the room from the bathroom, "You are so dramatic, she's not going to kill you."
"That's easy for you to say," Chuck replied, "she can't kill you, you're pregnant."
She rolled her eyes and decided to change the subject, "I'm going to tell Serena about the baby today," she smiled, selecting a pair of heels from the closet.
"Without me?"
"Well you told Nate without me," she pointed out, walking over to him.
"He's my best friend," he said.
"And Serena's mine," Blair commented, straightening her boyfriend's tie. "Now, go to work," she said, giving him a quick peck on the lips.
Chuck nodded, "I'll see you this afternoon."
She kissed him again, "I love you."
"I love you too," he replied. He was about to leave, but stopped and turned back to her, "Blair."
"Yeah?"
"Try to take it easy, okay?" he said.
She gave him a sad smile, "Nothing's going to happen to me Chuck. The baby and I are going to be just fine."
He nodded, and left without saying a word, leaving Blair feeling extremely worried.
Blair stepped out of the elevator of Serena's apartment building, her phone to her ear, "So mother, Chuck and I want to have dinner with you and Cyrus tonight."
"Oh good," Eleanor commented, "I'll make reservations at that Italian restaurant we went to last time."
"Actually, I was hoping that we could eat at home," she replied, walking down the hallway until she reached Serena's apartment. "Chuck and I have some news and we want to tell you in private."
"News?" she repeated. "What kind of news?"
"You'll find out tonight," Blair said mysteriously. "How does 7 o'clock sound?"
"Yes that's fine, but-"
"Okay mother, I'll see you tonight," she said sweetly, cutting Eleanor off. "Have a good day!" She hung up, breathing a sigh of relief, before knocking on her friend's door.
A moment later, the blonde opened the door with a smile, "Hey Blair, I wasn't expecting you," she said, looking down at the pajamas she was wearing.
"Oh that's okay S," she said walking passed Serena and into the apartment.
"I'm actually really glad you came," Serena started, smiling excitedly. "I have news."
"Me too!" Blair exclaimed.
"Okay, you go first."
"No you go first, you seem really excited."
"Alright," she started, taking a deep breath. "I'm going to ask Nate to move in with me."
Blair looked at her friend in surprise. She couldn't believe what perfect timing Serena had. Now she and Chuck wouldn't have to ask Nate to move out when the baby came. "That's so great!" she exclaimed, hugging her friend excitedly.
"It's not official yet, I haven't even asked him," Serena said.
"He'll say yes, he loves you," Blair assured her.
"I hope so," she smiled. "Anyway, what's your news?"
"Sorry S, but I think it tops yours."
"Really?" she asked in surprise. Blair nodded. "What is it?"
Blair smiled nervously, before saying softly, "I'm pregnant."
Serena giggled, "Yeah right, very funny. I know you're just making something up to top my news." She laughed, poking her playfully, "What's your real news?"
The smile slowly disappeared from Blair's face, "I'm serious Serena. Chuck and I are having a baby."
"No, no, you're not," Serena stuttered, still in denial, "you can't be, you're...you're...Chuck and Blair."
"S, you're kind of freaking me out, calm down," Blair said, trying to reason with her. She then reached into her handbag and pulled out the ultrasound picture, handing it to her friend carefully. "There's your proof."
Serena looked at the photo, her jaw dropping in shock, "Oh my God..." She looked up at Blair, bringing her hand up to her mouth in surprise.
"I told you I was telling the truth."
"You're having a baby?!" Serena said as she tried to hold back tears.
"Yeah," she nodded, grinning widely.
"Oh B!" she said, hugging her friend tightly. "I'm so happy for you!" She pulled back from the hug suddenly, "Wait a minute, when did you find out? Does Chuck know? How far along are you?"
"Chuck knows, we found out 2 days ago and I'm 7 weeks pregnant."
"How did he react?"
"Chuck was really excited actually," Blair smiled. "He's so happy, he keeps kissing my stomach and talking to the baby. He's amazing."
"Are we talking about the same Chuck Bass here?" Serena teased.
"Serena," she glared.
"Oh Blair, I was just teasing," she replied. "I think Chuck's going to be a good father."
Blair beamed, "Yeah, so do I. I'm a little worried about him though, he seems so scared about this pregnancy."
"Well after what happened with his mother, he's bound to be nervous about you being pregnant," Serena stated.
"I know, but you should have seen him when the doctor was doing the ultrasound," she started. "He wouldn't even look at the baby until he knew everything was okay."
"Aw B, everything's going to be fine," she assured her. She looked back down to the ultrasound picture and sniffed, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall at any moment.
"Oh no, don't cry," she replied. "You're going to make me cry."
"I can't help it," she sobbed. "I'm so happy for you."
"Well that's good because you're going to be the baby's godmother," Blair said.
"What? Really?" Serena asked.
She nodded, "That's if you want to be of course."
"I'd be honoured," she smiled, hugging Blair again. As they pulled back from the hug Serena commented, "Well, my news seems trivial now." Blair laughed.
Later on that night, Chuck and Blair were in the limo on their way to Eleanor and Cyrus' apartment. "So, I'm assuming you told Serena," Chuck said. "She called me earlier and squealed into the phone for 5 minutes straight."
She laughed, "Yeah, she cried when I showed her the ultrasound picture." She took his hand and squeezed it. "I'm just hoping that Eleanor is just as thrilled with the news."
"What did you tell her when you called?" he asked.
"I just said that we wanted to come over because we had some news that we want to share with them," Blair explained, as the limo pulled up at her mother's residence. Eleanor and Cyrus had moved back to New York from Paris over a year ago. Her mother had missed America more than she thought she would.
"Are you ready to do this?" Chuck asked, smiling slightly as his driver opened the door of the limousine.
Blair took a deep breath and replied, "As ready as I'll ever be." She took his hand and they stepped out of the limo.
The elevator doors opened and Chuck and Blair stepped into the Rose penthouse, looking around for Blair's mother and stepfather. "Blair!" Cyrus exclaimed, coming down the stairs with his arms extended towards her.
She smiled as he pulled her into a hug, "Hello Cyrus."
"How are you Cyrus?" Chuck said, extending his hand towards the older man.
"Charles, what have I told you?" he said, rolling his eyes with a chuckle. "This is family! Handshakes are for business deals." He threw his arms around Chuck, who accepted the hug awkwardly. To Chuck's relief, Cyrus pulled back from the hug and smiled at the couple, "Eleanor tells me you have news."
Blair and Chuck looked at each other. "We do," Chuck nodded. Blair also nodded in agreement.
"Well? What is it?"
"Uh, actually we'd rather tell you both over dinner," she explained.
"Oh," Cyrus commented. "Sounds serious." He looked at them suspiciously.
Blair was about to respond when her mother came into the room from the kitchen, "Blair, Charles," she said, as she walked over to them in a graceful manner. "I'm so glad you're here, the chef has just finished preparing dinner."
"Oh good, I'm starving," Blair commented, giving her mother a quick hug.
"Blair, we are dying to hear your news," Eleanor commented. "It's simply cruel leaving us in the dark for so long."
"You won't be in the dark for much longer Eleanor," Chuck said. "We're going to tell you as soon as we sit down for dinner."
"Well in that case, let's be seated," she replied, ushering them into the dining room where Dorota had impeccably set the table. They all sat down at the table, Blair and Chuck next to each other on one side, and Cyrus and Eleanor across from them. Their meals were brought out shortly after. Blair immediately got stuck into her food. Amazingly, her pregnancy was already causing her to get extremely hungry. She suddenly felt like someone was watching her, so she looked up to find Eleanor and Cyrus staring at her and Chuck in anticipation. "Well..." Eleanor started, a smile forming on her face. Blair was about to reply, when she cut her off. "Can we be honest with the both of you?"
Chuck and Blair looked to each other, then back at the older couple and nodded. "Of course," Chuck said.
"We know what you came here to tell us," Eleanor confessed excitedly.
"You do?" Blair asked in surprise. "How do you know?"
"Who told you?" Chuck added.
"No one told us, it's pretty obvious," Cyrus said, "I mean, look at you."
Blair looked down to her stomach quickly, was she showing already? "You can really tell?"
"Of course I can Blair, you're practically glowing with happiness," Eleanor said. "We are so thrilled for the both of you."
"That is so wonderful mother," she smiled, standing up from the table to hug her mother. Chuck breathed a sigh of relief from his seat, maybe he wasn't going to be murdered afterall. "Can you believe it? You're going to be a grandmother!" Blair added as they pulled back from the hug.
The smile immediately disappeared from Eleanor's face, "What?" she asked abruptly, her mood suddenly changing completely. Chuck looked up at her in terror, contemplating how quick he could grab Blair and get the hell out of there.
She looked at her mother nervously, "That's our news. I'm pregnant."
"You're pregnant?!?!" Eleanor exclaimed angrily. Blair stepped back from her to be on the safe side
"What did you think we were talking about?"
"We thought that you were engaged," Cyrus explained, placing a hand on his wife's arm, "Please calm down dear."
She looked at him in disbelief, "Calm down!? I just found out that my daughter's pregnant and you want me to calm down!" She shifted her glare to Chuck, "How did this happen?"
"I...uh," he started, beginning to fear for his and Blair's lives. "We were really careful," he managed to get out. "It just happened..."
She shook her head, "I don't believe this Blair, I thought you were a decent enough woman to wait until you were married to have...relations."
"You can call it sex mother, we're not children," she retorted, rolling her eyes. "Wait a minute, you seriously thought that I hadn't had sex before?"
"Yes!"
Chuck stifled a laugh, that was so far from the truth it was ridiculous. Eleanor glared at him, "You think this is funny Charles?"
"No," he replied, shutting his mouth immediately.
"Mother, this is ridiculous," Blair argued. "This is not even the issue. We came here to tell you that we're having a baby and we'd like your support, and all you can think about is that I've had sex."
Eleanor completely ignored her and went on, "How long has this been going on?"
"What?"
"I want to know," she said. "How long?"
Blair took a deep breath and replied snidely, "You really want to know?"
"Yes Blair!"
"Fine," she smiled fakely. "I lost my virginity to Chuck the day before my 17th birthday," she confessed, as her mother's jaw dropped in shock. "In the back of his limo," Blair added with a smug smile. Chuck brought his palm to his forehead and shook his head. "And guess what? I enjoyed it, it was fun. And if that makes me a slut then so be it." She threw her mother another glare before looking at her boyfriend, "Come on Chuck, we're leaving." Blair stormed out of the room.
Chuck looked up at the older couple, and stood up slowly, "Eleanor, Cyrus," he nodded awkwardly. Eleanor sighed, resting her head in her hands.
"Chuck!" Blair called from the other room. He gave Eleanor and Cyrus one last awkward smile, before following Blair out of the room.
I'm leaving it here for now. There will be more of Eleanor in the next chapter. Please review!
