𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐭 the ceiling, life wasn't supposed to be perfect but it wasn't supposed to be so complicated. I ignored the fact Darya was on the phone to Monica and that Dan had gone and plotted with Chuck. I ignored the fact that Louis was soon to be coming home, the fact I was pregnant and unsure of who the father was. I simply picked up my book and continued to read The Great Gatsby; my favourite.
There was a knock at my door, "Grace, it's Blair can I come in?" She softly asked. "Go away, please." I told her. "What's wrong? Are you relapsing?" Blair questioned with worry. "No I am not relapsing to Self Harm, Drug addiction or my bulimia nervosa. I just hate wanna be alone." I replied with a sigh. "Well, I'm worried about you and I'm not leaving until you let me in." Blair retorted as I heard the soft grunt of her sitting down. I rolled my eyes, "You'll be here all day then."
Suddenly my phone buzzed:
Tell Blair nd Serena! They're ur friends they'll support u-M x
I sighed looking at the message, "Fine come in, but I don't want judgement." I told her as she smiled walking in. "That didn't take you long." She softly spoke then saw my face and laid with me on my bed. "Talk to me..." Blair whispered.

Chuck's POV
"𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞?" I asked the smug smiling Humphrey. "What Chuck?" He wondered. "I suffered mediocre sex with an editor's assistant to find out who was publishing your book, and this is how you thank me?" I furrowed my brows to see a whimpering little dog in front of me. Grace adored dogs, she told me when she had a family she wanted a dog and a big garden for the kids and the dog to play in... But that doesn't matter.
"Chuck, you felt nothing after a Field of Dreams, so I'm taking it to the next level. If that movie cannot make you feel then maybe this little guy can." Dan informed me, bullshit. "The only thing this mongrel makes me feel is disgust. Take it back to the pound, or I will." I told him sitting on my couch. "I have a meeting, I'll have to kill this book once and for all. I have to meet Noah Schapiro." He explained.
"I have some kneepads in the bedroom if you need them." I told him. "I think a simple conversation will do, thank you. God when would you ever need kneepads for that?" He wondered. "I knew you were vanilla." I spoke. "Whoa! Hey whose this little guy?" Nate asked walking out and fussing that dog. "Chuck's new..." Dan went to say. "Drunken mistake. Never sleep with a girl from PETA." I replied buttoning my suit jacket up.
"Remember to walk the dog, bye Nate." Dan told me walking off. "Are you going to keep him?" Nate asked grabbing his briefcase, he started at the New York Spectator today. "Are you kidding? Of course not." I retorted. "You should, you might need a new buddy seen as I won't be around so much." Nate told me. "You do know this is not the kind of job you should get at a Hollywood party." I spoke to him getting up off of the couch yet keeping away from the ratty dog.
(A/N:PLEASE MONKEY IS SO CUTE! He should've been in the finale!)
"Diana is rebuilding the paper, even though I'm only an intern she says there's an opportunity for me to move up." Nathaniel smiled. "Nathaniel you and I both know the only reason this woman has hired you is so you can please her in the bedroom not the boardroom. Sexual games, they're rather fun on the right side." I told him.
"Now if you excuse me I have to call Victor to get that out of here." I said with a scowl looking at the dog as Nate sighed, "Bye man." He spoke walking off. The dog whimpered at me, "Don't look at me like that." I pointed at the dog as it's eyes looked saddened. "I'm Chuck Bass." I scoffed as it barked at me. I sighed crouching down to the furry pet, "What's your name gonna be then?" I asked him.
I warily put my hand out to stroke the creature, "ew!" I grimaced as it licked me. "Monkey, I'll call you monkey." I said, I still didn't feel but maybe I did need a buddy. "Let's get you done." I sighed fussing him slightly.

Grace's POV
"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭?" 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 with a perplexed expression, "Yeah, it's Louis'." I lied, the probability as I have said before was leaning toward Louis. "Then why are you more worried than usual G?" She wondered softly. "I'm happy to have this baby, and I will love it unconditionally. The thoughts of last time just nerves me a little." I confessed as Blair wrapped her arms around me giving me a hug.
That was partly true; that I'll love this baby unconditionally. "I am here for you G and S will be too." She assured me as I smiled to her, "We better go see if she's back." I hummed ignoring the uncertainty of the baby daddy.
✯✯✯
"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤!" 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 as we walked through to see Serena and... Charlie. "Welcome back!" I smiled as the three of us hugged. "I thought I'd lost you to the land of pole dancing classes and gluten free food." Blair spoke as I chuckled. "Well, I'm back and look who I brought with me." Serena smiled as we looked over to Charlie. "Right, and why?" I asked.
"She's hit a rough patch with her mother, you both know how that is. I thought maybe she could stay in the guest room until we figure things out." Serena explained as her and Charlie looked hopeful to Blair and I. "It's your penthouse." I told Blair with a shrug. "I'll allow it and again, welcome back." B smiled. We all sat down at the table. "Thank you for letting my stay." Charlie smiled.
"Well now you have the most fashionable woman on the Upper East Side as your landlord and the future princess of Monaco as your roommate, speaking of G where is your prince?" S asked as Blair and I mocked the princess wave with a smirk. "Cologne for a charity event, he'll be back tonight and I cannot wait." I smiled in awe eating a choux bun. "Which is why Miss Grace must be going. Many things to do before he return." Darya stated.
"Like possibly finding new help. A pregnant employee is rather irritating, the other with two is too." I stated. "Oh Darya congratulations for you and Richard!" Serena smiled. "Thank you. I must say best thing about pregnancy is knowing who father is." Darya replied as I sent her a scowl. "Well sorry to eclair and run ladies, but I have an interview today." I declared.
