A/N: Here we go with the flashbacks :) By the way, I wanted to answer to an anynomous review - To Hate Vampire FanGirls : This story is NOT a crossover between GG and VD, I'm just using some characters ( who are not vampires, who have different personnalities from VD ) from the Vampire Diaries because I like them, I like the actors and I like such references when I read stories. Now, if you think that ruined my story, don't read it.

Anyway, to the others, I hope you'll like this chapter :)

Switzerland, eighteen years ago.

"Mom, are you sure she's going to be alright? She isn't supposed to go out of my belly that soon – why can't I give birth to her myself?" Blair asked, feeling a little bit dizzy. Serena, Eliza and Eleanor were next to her, holding her hands as she slipped into unconsciousness. Serena was panicking, tears were started to stream down her cheeks so she looked away from Blair but the poor girl couldn't even distinguish Serena's blue eyes through the veil that was taking place in front of her eyes. Eliza was feeling sick, why was she there? She didn't even know that girl, she would do more hurt than anything and she was there, holding her hands as if she really cared. Well, she cared but she was bound to do wrong.

"She's not in a good position, honey. You cannot give birth to her this way or she won't survive. Everything's going to be okay, the doctors are going to take good care of you." Eleanor said as she stroked her cheek. She was smiling at her daughter but inside, she was crying. She was about to do the most horrific thing of her whole life – kidnapping her own granddaughter to give her to a family she didn't know and lie to her daughter about that.

And Blair was unconscious. The doctor took her away to the operation room and the three of them went to the waiting room where Cyrus, Roman and Harold were already sitting. When Harold saw Eleanor coming, he nodded and they understood each other – everything was going along with their plan. Yet, none of them was completely reassured – something could happen to Blair or to the baby and they would want none of that to happen.

"Eleanor, I don't think Blair will be able to give away for adoption Chuck's daughter." Serena suddenly said, breaking the silence surrounding them.

The traitor winced. She took her by surprise. "I know." she said. She was a mother, after all, she wouldn't have been able to give away for adoption her child. Never. But now was a time when choices needed to be made and she thought she was the strong one who had to made them. She must have been wrong.

A picture popped up in Serena's worried mind. Chuck, Blair and a tiny girl who had Blair's smile, Chuck's eyes and a rounded face. She started to smile at the thought of that happy family, she was sure she'd be happier that way than with Louis and without Chuck and their daughter. She took a resolution – if Blair seemed hesitant, she would tell her exactly what she thinks and convince she had made the wrong choice by choosing Louis over Chuck. She wanted to help her, she really did and she believed her when she said she loved Louis and he made her happy but she also saw what she was like whenever she was with Chuck. All fire, passion and so Blair. Louis would never be able to handle her properly.

Before hell broke loose, the silence was king and white was the color of hope – before it became the color of the faces of the people gathered in the waiting room. The doctor slowly walked in after what seemed like an eternity in the operation room, removed his mask and sighed. He had no good news and Serena felt her heart break.

"I'm sorry but we couldn't do anything to save her, the baby didn't survive but Miss Waldorf is in her room, she'll be awake in a few minutes if you want to tell her the news. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss. Please, when you have time, go to the secretary, there are some papers you have to deal with when you're ready." And he walked away as if nothing wrong happened.

Serena put her head in her hands and started crying. She was crying because of Blair, she couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of pain she will have to go through – three months before her royal wedding. She wouldn't say a word about Chuck, she didn't need to be constantly reminded of the daughter she had lost – they had lost. She knew Chuck should be there too, he should be aware of all that's going on there but she would never have the strength and the will to defy Eleanor and Blair.

Eleanor wasn't a very good actress but she just had Serena and Blair to fool – that wouldn't be too hard, knowing how shaken the two girls would be. Fake tears started to fall down her cheeks and Harold took her in his arms.

Then, they all went to check on Blair who was slowly awakening. When she asked after her daughter – she wanted to call her Charline, Evelyn or Audrey, she hadn't made her up mind yet –, she knew something was wrong. Why wasn't she hearing her crying or breathing heavily next to her bed? Why were they all staring at their feet? Her cardiac rhythm suddenly increased and she started fearing the worst.

"Don't- you promised. Mom, you said – you said -" she sobbed. Serena rushed to her and held her as tight as possible. Blair, with her hair all messy and her pale face, looked like a fallen Queen – the kind she was about to become. She soaked Serena's Chanel top but no one cared about that. Blair had lost her baby, she felt like she had lost more than a child that day – she had lost what she had left of Chuck. He had let her go, he had decided for her that Louis was better – did he know how much she loved him? How much she wanted that baby? How much she wanted to raise her with him? He freaking let her go when she needed him the most. She had felt guilty and ashamed that night but not for the good reasons – he was her guilty pleasure, she felt guilty to have said 'yes' to Louis and not to him, she felt ashamed to have been so blind she hadn't realized he was the one for her.

But now, everything was said and done. She had told herself she would leave Louis and go back to New York with the baby if everything turned out right, if she had clearly made up her mind. Too bad fate had decided to take her baby and her chance at happiness with her. Or is it Fate that is to blame?

Upper East Side, Manhattan. Back to present.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Miss Lasserre? It's not an operation without any risk." Dr Stein asked Cornelia who was sitting in front of him. Jenny, Serena and Nate were by her side.

"I'm sure. But please, call me Cornelia Dupont, Amelia Lasserre was just a name to be sure Mr Bass wouldn't find me." she explained. Stein couldn't be surprised after Serena's revelation earlier in the day – actually, he had understood what was happening when he saw Cornelia's face, she looked like Blair and Chuck and he knew about their romance.

"I think it's normal, knowing Mr Bass. There are some papers you need to sign, here and here." he told her. She grabbed the papers and signed them. At first, Stein thought the presence of Jenny, Nate and Serena would stress her and force her to do what she was told but she looked quite calm.

"When will it happen?" Cornelia asked. She had been in New York for five hours but she wanted it to be done as soon as possible to enjoy the life in New York and to get to know her father.

"Well, Chuck's already here so as soon as you're ready." he said.

"Let's go then." she concluded. She was a direct girl – like her parents. Stein led her to her room but everyone could see she was preoccupied, was she hesitating? When he asked her, Cornelia responded she wanted to see her father before the operation.

"Cornelia, you can't see him, he would cancel the operation until he gets all the answers and then he would never accept it because you're his daughter." Serena intervened. She feared something wrong happened.

"I don't mean telling him who I am, I just want to see him, that's all." she murmured, shy for once.

"I may have an idea." Stein started. "A nurse is supposed to bring Chuck his lunch, you could pretend to be the nurse." Cornelia's eyes lit up and she turned to Serena to see if she agreed or not – lucky for her, she did. Stein brought Cornelia an uniform of nurse she put on and gave her Chuck's plate. She was glowing, she couldn't help but smile, holding a plate of bad food and wearing horrible pink clothes.

She knocked on the door and got in before he could answer. Chuck was lying in his bed, his computer on his lap, working. "You could have waited for me to tell you to get in." he said without even looking up. She pulled the trail of food to the bed and he finally put his computer aside and looked up to her. "You're new, aren't you? I haven't seen you around and God knows I've spent many days here for the past months."

"I am, sir. I'm sorry but the trail is heavy and uneasy to carry." she said as she put his plate in front of him. He glared at the food and grimaced. She couldn't hold back her smile and he noticed it. He stared at her and faced the resemblance. He was breathless, how could he not have noticed it earlier? Maybe because her hair was hiding her face, maybe because she had her head bent.

"Is something wrong, sir?" she asked, after a few seconds of silence and him staring at her.

"No, nothing's wrong." he said, "You just remind me of someone I knew, a long time ago."

"Well, I would have remembered you if we had ever met before, sir." she laughed softly. He was staring at her with a keen smile and suddenly she felt surrounded by his warmth. Small wrinkles appeared at the corner of his eyes that showed he wasn't the young man he used to be but he looked so young, so strong and yet so weak in the hospital room. She wanted to tell him who she was but she couldn't – for him.

"Yeah, sure. I haven't seen her for ages, my mind is playing with me." he said.

"I do believe in signs, maybe you'll have news from her sooner than you expect. I'm sorry sir, I wish I could stay longer but I have work to do." and she left the room. She didn't wait for him to answer. She walked slowly to her room and gave back the clothes to Stein. She sat down on her bed with Nate, Serena, Jenny, Dan and Raina all around her.

"So, how was it?" Serena finally dared to ask.

"Incredible. I think he recognized me – well, in his blood I mean. He looked at me with tender eyes – like a father – and he opened up to me, not so much but I think he wouldn't have opened up that much to a random nurse." she said. She was still under the shock of the meeting. It was nothing, it only lasted two or three minutes but it meant everything to her. She had met her father for the first time and she had felt a true connection, she wanted to get to know him and the sooner she would give him a piece of her liver, the sooner it would happen.

"I'm glad for you." Serena told her with a smile.

"Thanks. I guess it's time for the operation, doctor." she said to Stein. He nodded and called the nurse and the anesthetist. They took care of her before going to Chuck. Everybody left her as soon as she dozed off. Twenty minutes later, Chuck joined her in the kingdom of Morpheus and the five UESers went to the waiting room. The only sound you could hear was the ticking of the clock. Serena was stressed, the situation reminded her of the one she had lived almost nineteen years ago. She wanted nothing more than to hear good news from the doctors, she wouldn't bear it if she was told the death of Cornelia – for the second time.

A few hours later, when the door opened on Stein, Serena automatically grabbed two hands – Nate's and Dan's. She was hardly breathing and her mouth suddenly went dry.

"Well, I guess it's me who have to tell you that." Stein started and Serena felt her whole world, all her hopes falling down.

Spotted – Chuck Bass and the mysterious young girl walking in the same hospital. Why could that possibly be? Well, in the mean time, B's taking down Monaco and taking away the title of Queen back to New York. Sophie's Princess no more and B's taking strength. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Don't forget to review ;)
