Maybe I should clarify that in this story Dan is NOT Gossip Girl. And someone is going to complain that the things in this chapter are happening too soon after the birth, but they happen this soon sometimes in real life, and this is realistic so fuck it.


2 weeks later... March 12...

Time was flying by so fast. Where did it all go? It felt like it was going by super slow as it happened, but after it was over, it felt like it never even happened. It was crazy as fuck. I'd been so busy and tired taking care of Tianna that I had no time for anything else, and it's what made time feel so weird.

Yesterday had been Wednesday, so Chuck got Tianna for the day. Eric had insisted we went on a date, since we had some time. It was cute of him. We'd went to some Italian food place, and then for a walk to pick Tianna up in her stroller. On the way back to the apartment, the sidewalk was really busy so I just carried the baby so she wouldn't get hurt and Eric pushed the stroller for me.

When we got home, everyone's phones went off.

Spotted: Little J, Little van der Woodsen, and- Baby J? Someone told me Baby J's name is Tianna, but I have no proof. And who is the father of the little being? Is it E? If it is, then why were they spotted picking her up from- wait for it- The Empire? Does the baby have something to do with a Bass? Can I get someone to confirm this story? Stay tuned, I'll update you when I can.

"Maybe I should just confirm the so called story. Just so no ridiculus rumors come up." I suggested.

"It's up to you. It sounds like a good idea." Eric agreed.

"Yeah, I'm going to." I started writing a message to Gossip Girl.

I wrote:

You want confirmation? Ok, you can have it from me straight. The baby's name is Tianna and yes, Chuck Bass is her father. Should you have any other questions, I'll answer them, just so you don't start any shit rumors.

And I hit send.

A few minutes later, she blasted it, censoring my language.

I've got some news; suprisingly fast too. From Little J herself: "You want confirmation? Ok, you can have it from me straight. The baby's name is Tianna and yes, Chuck Bass is her father. Should you have any other questions, I'll answer them, just so you don't start any sh**rumors."
Thanks for the confirmation J!

So C is a daddy now? I wonder how he's coping...
What are you wondering? Who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell!
You know you love me,
Xoxo,
Gossip Girl.

2 weeks later... March 21st...

I'd just dressed up in all gray, with a hood, with Tiana in her baby carrier strapped to my front, all to go to the store. Why? Well, I didn't want anyone to notice me. A person might argue that my ways would only draw more attention, but they didn't.

When I got home, I put Tianna in her bed, then took my purchase into my bathroom, hoping no one was home. I didn't think I'd be back to this point so soon after Tianna was born. Actually, I thought this time I'd be more careful. Technically we were reckless and daring. It was fun until now.

I slid the long box out of the brown bag and sat it on the edge of the sink. The anxiety and fear bubbled up inside me increasingly fast, until it bubbled over and I gave up. I flumped onto the floor and growled at myself.

"Are you ok?" Eric asked, looking in the open bathroom door, then walking in.

"Uh- yeah." I jumped up and walked in front of the box on the sink. "Where were you when I came in?"

"I was in my room. Why did you just rush over here?" He started joking a little.

"Nothing. I just didn't want to sit on the floor anymore."

"That's the worst excuse I've ever heard. What are trying to hide?" Eric gently pushed my arm a little, not me, but my arm and I slowly moved over. "A pregnancy test? You think you might be pregnant?"

"Well duh! I wouldn't have gotten it if I though I wasn't! I'm sorry-"

"No. Don't be sorry. You did nothing wrong."

"You're not mad?"

"Of course not. Why would I be mad?" Eric gently hugged me.

"I don't know. What are we going to do if I am?"

"First we need to figure out if you are."

"But I want to know what we'd do first."

"Well, it's really up to you. You should take the test, and then we'll decide if we have to."

"Ok." I said, and he kissed me. Then I took the test.

We sat on my bed, attempting to play with Tianna while we waited for results. She was still only two months old and not really playful yet. She was old enough that we could tell she definitely had Chuck's eyebrows and nose. Still no hair, and dark blue eyes.

Eventually, the timer on my phone went off. I jumped up and ran in to the test. Eric came in with Tianna. I picked up the test.

One line. Negative. I couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Are you guys in here?" Vanessa called, and walked in with us. "What's happening in here? Jenny, what are you holding?"

"Uh-"

"Show me!" She exclaimed.

I held it out, and she took it, without looking.

"What- do I want to look? You just had a baby-"

"I know. Just look at it."

"Oh, negative, ok. I thought this was some kind of announcement!" She laughed.

"No, not yet."

"Not yet? You mean soon? Are you trying to get pregnant?"

"No! Just- I was late and I needed to know."

"Sometimes these things lie." Vanessa reminded me.

"Stop making me think I'm pregnant!"

"Sorry, you know what I'm saying though." And we all started laughing, even Tianna laughed a bit.
