This is my first double-chapter, which I'll have for big moments! in this case: The arrival of Dan and Serena's baby! I worked very hard on this chapter so I hope you like it!


So, we'd just got to the hospital at 4:43 pm. Dad was in the hallway, outside the room Serena was in.

"Hey Dad! Is everything ok? You look nervous." I asked, running up to him.

"Yeah, Serena's fine, the baby's fine. I just can't believe I'm going to become a grandfather."

"When is the baby going to be born?"

"They aren't sure, but they estimated that we still have at least a good 5 hours left, but it could take another 20. She's been in early labor since about noon and they just measured that she's a centimeter dilated." He informed us.

"Oh. Um, I'm not so sure she'd really want to see me, and I don't want to cause any stress for her or the baby-"

"Jenny, what are you talking about?" My dad interrupted me, confused.

"We had a fight earlier this year, over Nate and she was really mad at me."

"She knows how to forgive and forget Jenny, I think she'd forgive you if you apologized and asked for her forgiveness."

"Maybe, but she's in labor! I don't want to bother her-" Chuck cut me off.

"I'd think if someone apologized for doing me wrong, it would be a relief, even if I was in labor."

"Chuck! Don't even talk about labor until you have a slight idea what it feels like!" I exclaimed, laughing.

"And you do?" He joked back at me, putting his arm around me. I noticed my dad wince a little when Chuck touched me.

"What is your problem?" I asked him.

"Who said I had a problem?"

"The face you made when he touched me."

"Well, I'm not too happy he got you pregnant if that's what you're asking."

"What the hell does that have to do with now? It was as much my choice as it was his. He didn't push me into anything!"

"Jenny, I'm not discussing that here. I'm going to check on Serena." He told me as he went into the room.

I peeked in. Lily, Cece, Blair, Dan, my dad, Vanessa, Nate, and Eric were there with Serena. No. I was not going in the same room as Blair.

"Are you alright?" Chuck asked me, putting his hand on my arm.

"Not really. I just need to get out of here." I told him, starting back down the hallway. Why didn't I think of the fact that Blair is Serena's best friend?

"Do you mind if I come along? I don't really feel like facing Blair."

"Actually, that sounds like a really good idea. Let's get out of here." I said, grabbing his hand.

"Ooh, you're getting grabby now!" He joked.

"So I can't hold your hand?"

"What would Eric think?"

"If I explained it, he'd understand. Me and you are friends, nothing more. And friends can hold hands."

"I'll trust that. I just don't want to come between you two. So, where do you feel like going?" Chuck asked me.

"Can we just walk?"

"Of course, whatever you feel like."

When we got outside the building, I called my dad.

"Hey, Dad, I didn't really want to face Blair, and neither did Chuck, so we left. Can you text me anything important that happens?" I asked him.

"Yeah, whatever. Blair will have to leave at some point, and when she does, I want you in here, got it?"

"Got it. Ok, bye." I hung up and turned to Chuck. "What do you want to talk about?" I slipped my hand back in his.

"How about- Jenny!" He paused as I lit a joint. "What are you doing?"

"I'm smoking, what does it look like?" I took a drag and offered it to him.

"No thanks. But really you shouldn't be smoking that shit!"

"I know, but it helps me not panic."

"What does it do to the baby?"

"I don't-"

"Exactly. You don't know, and until you know, you shouldn't use it. Sorry, I just really do care about our baby, Jenny. I don't want anything to happen to her."

"You really do care, don't you? I'd been distant for the first half of my pregnancy because I didn't think you meant everything you were saying. Now I see that you do." I confessed, starting to cry.

"Hold up! Why are you crying?" He put his hands on my hips and pulled me into a hug.

"I don't really know. I guess the hormones are making me emotional."

A tear fell down me face and he wiped it away. I looked into his eyes. I'd never realized how pretty of a brown color they were. I don't know why I did it, but I slid my arms around his neck and kissed him. He didn't even stop me. He just kissed me back, while running his hands up and down my sides and over onto my baby bump.

Then I realized what I was doing. I immediately stopped kissing him and looked him in the eyes again. "Chuck-" I whispered, but he cut me off again.

"Sorry, again-"

"Don't be. I'm not. Eric doesn't have to know. If he ever did find out, I think he'd understand." I rambled. Then I got a text from my father.

I showed Chuck the message. "Actually, I think we should go back to the hospital now. It's cold out here."

"Ok, let's go." He agreed.

We got there at 5:36 pm. Before I went in the room, I started to take deep breaths, when Chuck put his hand on my arm.

"Hey, everything will be fine."

"Can you do something for me quick?" I asked him quietly.

"What?"

"Kiss me?"

"But you're with Eric-"

"When you do it, it calms me down. When Eric does it, I get fucking horny. But please?" I begged, and when I did, he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. Then Blair came out of the room.

"Do I even want to know what you are doing? I bet Eric would LOVE to hear that his beloved girlfriend was cheating on him with her baby daddy, not even 20 feet away from him." She greeted me with blackmail.

"Blair, don't! What do I have to do to keep your mouth shut?"

"You can't! You already slept with MY boyfriend, and got pregnant! And then you let it grow! So I'd say that Eric deserves to know-"

"Maybe he does, but it's not your place to tell him!"

"Leave her alone, Blair." Chuck started defensively.

"Why should I listen to you? You're a cheating bastard!" Blair started yelling.

"Blair! Stop! No one wants to listen to your bullshit!" I exclaimed, getting close to tears.

"Really, Slutty J? You know, I'll give you a choice. I'm either telling Eric what I just walked into, or I'm telling Gossip Girl who the father of your baby is. Which one?"

"You can tell her for all I care! Just stay out of my life!"

"By her, do you mean Eric or Gossip Girl? You do know Eric said he was gay right?"

"You can shit talk about me all you want, but that went too far! YOU HAD NO FUCKING RIGHT TO SAY THAT ABOUT HIM, YOU DIRTY SKANK ASS WHORE!" I screamed at Blair, as I shoved her, knocking her down. When I did, I started to feel faint.

"REALLY? I'M THE SKANK ASS WHORE? I DIDN'T GET PREGNANT BY SOMEONE ELSE'S BOYFRIEND!" She lashed back at me from the floor.

My dad and Vanessa came running out of the room. Eric was right behind them.

"Don't even think I wasn't listening to all of that, Blair. That's low, even for you. I definitely think that you're the skank ass whore, to settle this argument." Vanessa told Blair, calmly, but creepy at the same time. She walked over to me and took my hand. "And I can't believe you dared to fuck with my babe." She gave me an assuring smile, and I quickly kissed her, not caring that my father and boyfriend were watching.

"Blair, I want you to leave my daughter the hell alone, and if you don't, your mother and Cyrus will be hearing about it, and I don't think they'd be very happy. I suggest you leave, now." My dad told her.

"Fine, you can tell your slut of a daughter that she'll be sorry." Blair pouted, and stomped off.

"Ok, so I'm a slut now." I choked, trying not to cry.

"No you're not, Jenny." My dad told me.

"She's just re-" Vanessa started, but I had a dizzy spell. I couldn't hear, I could barely see, and I fell over on Chuck.

"Jenny, come here, you need to sit down." Vanessa told me, supporting me as she pulled me into the room where Serena was. She helped me sit down on the couch/chair thing and Eric handed me a glass of water.

"Is she ok?" Serena asked, not knowing I was able to hear her.

"I'm fine. Are you excited to be a mom?" I asked her weakly, trying to be nice.

"Yeah, I actually am. I'm 5 centimeters dilated now, half way through."

"That's- that's cool. Listen, I'm sorry for getting in between you and Nate. I don't know what I was thinki-"

"Hey, it's fine, just- OW!" She sounded like it really hurt. and I had to do that soon too.

"Guys, I feel better now. Thanks. I love you guys a lot. All of you."

"I love you too Jenny." My dad and Eric said in unison.

"You know I love you." Vanessa told me.

"Why do I feel like kissing you again?" I asked her, laughing.

"Because friends sometimes find each other attractive."

"You're always attractive." I laughed, kissing her again, in front of everyone.

6 hours later... 12:11 am...

"I'm so glad I got the epidural. I can't even imagine how bad it would hurt right now without it." Serena said, tiredly.

The doctors had just said she was allowed to push, and she was about to start at it.

"Yeah, you should be glad. I had Alison completely drug free, and it felt like I was dying." Vanessa mentioned. "Hey, Jenny? Have you decided how you're going to give birth yet?" She asked me.

"No, why?"

"Just wondering. But don't rush it, you need to take time to think of the best way for you, to make it as comfortable as it can be." V explained.

"Well, I need to push, so I'm going to stop talking." Serena said.

"Good idea. We're all super excited to meet the baby." Dan gushed. He'd went from a nervous wreck about being a dad, to being fully excited.

29 minutes later, at 12:41 am... October 3rd, Serena gave birth to a baby boy, weighing 7 pounds, 5 ounces. He was 18 inches long and had a little bit of fuzzy brown hair, like Dan. They agreed on the name, Brent Alexander Humphrey.

Watching's Brent's birth, and the love on Dan and Serena, my dad and Lily's faces when they first saw him, made me love my unborn baby more than ever, and yearn for the day of her arrival.
