She was staring at the two pink lines, so dark they could be pass as red. This was the third test in the past half an hour.
people got false positives all the time right? The blonde started to feel uneasy and started calling a number.
"Hey B…." she trembled on the verge of tears
"What is it S?" she asked over the phone confused.
"Come home please i need to tell you something, something big" Her eyes were now closed because if she opened them she wouldn't be able to stop the tears.
"S what's going on your scaring me, don't go anywhere i'm coming" Blair said as her voice grew more concerned
ding
Blair's heart was racing as the elavator opened she didn't know what she would walk into. Party Serena or Humphrey Serena. Either of them just as bad as a eachother, Blair stepped carefully up the stairs thinking carefully about how she would react to either of those situation. She was meant to go to Serena's room but she just needed a moment to gather herself for whatever was next. As she opened the door she realised Serena was already in her room, waiting for her. Her eyes red and swollen staring at Blair. She realised the issue at hand was more serious then she could ever have known.
"Serena, what's happening?." she hated the way her voice sounded like her mother's.
The blonde wasted no time "I'm pregnant" her voice quivered a little as she sat up straighter and started patting the spot next to her motioning for Blair to sit.
"Are you sure S?" Blair said unable to get the words out trying her hardest to be supportive "wow this was way worse then Humphrey Serena" She thought as she couldn't fathom S holding a baby in her arms let alone in less then a year. "S it's Nate's right?" she said wearily as she maintained eye-contact with the blonde who was now getting angsty.
"Yes, I didn't cheat Blair if that's what your trying to ask" She rolled her eyes "I'm scared B, what if i can't do this, what if i'm like my mom?"
"First we need to make a doctor's appointment we don't even know if there really is a baby involved yet and second, S you raised Eric when Lily was jetting around the world with her latest boyfriend." She sighed "If anyone can do it it's you. S" blair motioned for Serena to lie down and stroked her back carefully. They stayed like that for the rest of the night.
The November morning was highly anticipated by both Serena and Blair. "Atleast your boyfriend can be a father, no one in their right mind would willingly procreate with chuck." Blair said rolling her eyes hoping to ease the blondes nerves. Serena let out a brief chuckle as she started fidgeting with her ring on her right hand what would it look like on her ring finger, the left one to be exact. Blair was now eyeing the magazine with the heading 'what to expect when your expecting' Hoping Serena wouldn't see the book and start crying. "S I-" she was being cut off by a confident but yet shy voice
"Miss Serena Van der Woodsen, the doctor will see you now" the small nurse said. The blonde jumped slightly trembling Miss, it was always going to be Miss. She was now uneasy at the thought she might be in this alone. It had never occurred to her that Nate might not want the child. That she would be a single parent. The girls entered the room together worried what the outcome of this visit would be.
The room had blue walls and was big enough fit an adjustable chair behind a curtain, an ultrasound and a few more chairs, marked clearly for visitors. There were at least 10 posters all alluding to what pregnancy would be like. "Hello, which one of you will i be seeing today" A friendly voice noted whilst the two girls walked into the room. "Me." Serena answered displeased of how she even wounded up in this position. "Okay, so can you go behind the curtain and sit on the chair please? I'll need to draw blood from your arm." The doctor said in a neutral tone. Serena nodded an got up slowly to sit on the chair. Blair became bewildered into how the doctor could remain so calm when this test could alter the Serena's whole future. "When will my friend know for sure about her, condition"Blair wondered maintaining eye contact with the prenatal posters on the board. She had paused because she was unsure of what to call it yet. "The results will be ready in the next day or two" A familar voice said, It was the nurse. "It's okay to be worried about your friend but if she is pregnant a baby is always a blessing no matter the situation." She uttered it perfectly, no pause, no change in tone. Blair knew she had said it 100 times before.
"that dress looks per-" Serena said smiling as she got cut off by her obnoxious ringtone. She looked up at blair then back down at her phone. "Who is it S?" Blair questioned as she observed herself in the mirror. "The, Doctor" She swallowed saying it slowly not knowing if her best friend should know or not. "Answer it Serena or i will" Blair said calmly. The blonde pressed away on her phone whilst Blair locked the door to the bedroom. "Hello, is this Miss Van Der Woodsen." a familiar voice said
"Yes it is." She stuttered slightly
"Congratulations, you are pregnant!" The nurse said as tears started forming in the blondes eyes.
"Its going to be okay S, you have options it's still really early." Blair said wearily as she crossed her legs on her bed and placed a white Hermes pillow in between her lap
"I couldn't do that, i couldn't just have an abortion like that, its not right i would be killing it." She said shaking her head as it hung low.
"Theres another option." Blair mumbled quietly
"Blair, i'm not having a secret child so my future kids can find out about it in 20 years." Serena managed to say "I'm not my mom"
"Your already making smarter decisions that Lily was at your age" Blair snorted
"I'm serious B, my whole future is ruined not to mention Nate's." She paused briefly not sure if she should tell Blair "If he even want's the baby"
"Nate? He will want it, S it's Anne Archibald you need to worry about shes going to think your trapping him." she rolled her eyes when she said it realising shes only making Serenas worries greater "I didn't mean it like that" She quickly added in a sorry tone
"If his family say's no i'll raise it by myself we are broken up he doesn't need to do anything" Her voice cracked as soon as she said it knowing she needed to plan how she was going to tell Nate.
She stood there quietly in her pink satin pjs caressing her bump in the mirror wondering how it was going to look in 9 months. She felt protective over this little thing in her belly, she was it's home or at least for the time being. Serena realised that this little thing was growing inside of her and that it was going to be in this world in less then a year regardless if she was ready or not. "Miss Serena i have dry cleaned dress for party" Dorota announced whilst she walked in on the intimate moment the blonde was having. "Miss Serena you pregnant?" the little mades eyes were now locked onto her stomach. "I, I am" She choked up.
The maid's eyes lit up "Baby is wonderful news, you will make fantastic mama Miss Serena! Mister Nate happy?"
"I haven't told him yet" she mumbled in a low tone that was still audible "I'm telling him tonight at the party." Serena said spontaneously knowing she would regret it as soon as it came out of her mouth.
