Unfinished
Chapter 26
There's nothing quite like Autumn in New York. But it's not only the leaves that change. Something in the air brings out the true colors in everyone.
The sun just started to rise. As Nate carefully opened the door. To Quinn's bedroom. Walking slowly over to the bed. While he tapped her shoulder. Then turned on the light sitting on her dresser. Quinn slowly turned over. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes. As she spoke softly.
"Dad.?" She said. Not sure if she was dreaming or not.
"Yes it's me." "We have to go." "Get dressed."
Nate said. While he waited outside her door.
"Where are we going.?" Quinn asked curious.
"It's a surprise." Nate said.
Already dressed. With keys in hand.
Nate waited about almost 20 mins. Before she walked out to meet him.
Smiling as he saw her. Wrapping his arm in hers. The two walked down the stairs and got into Nate's car. Not saying a word. While he drove. The heat warming up the otherwise cool car. Quinn laid her head down on the seat. Looking out the window. At the fall leaves on the trees. Multiple shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. The car eventually stopping.
Nate then looked over at Quinn. Quinn in return looked back at him.
"I love it here." Quinn said. With excitement in her voice.
"I may have heard you say that once or twice. Nate said.
Smiling at her. As the two got out of the car.
And walked inside. Sitting down at their favorite table. Which gave the best view. As the waitress. Brought over menus.
Nate and Quinn looked it over choosing what they wanted.
Handed the menus back over to the waitress. She began to walk back to the kitchen. While the two of them talked.
"I just wanted to spend some time with you."
"Just the two of us." "You are so important to me my heart will never have enough have room for how much I love you." "I couldn't be anymore full of pride and amazement being able to watch how you have changed your life and are finding your place in the world." "I am so excited and will always be humbled." "To know that we aren't just family but father and daughter." "I can't wait to see where you go next." "To the first of many mornings like this." Nate said.
"Thank you daddy I love you too." Quinn said. Wiping her eyes.
"Let's eat and then get back home" Nate said.
Hours Later
Nate and Serena had just finished getting ready. Lauren was all dressed up. Chuck and Doretha planned to meet them there. Blair was staying home with Henry. Serena strapped Lauren inside her car seat. Then got into the passenger's seat. Nate drove following the instructions Quinn had given him and as well as following the GPs.
Eventually they had reached the theater getting out of the car. Serena held Lauren in her arms. Nate took Serena's hand. The three walked inside. Seeing posters of the movie on the walls. The place was packed with people. Looking around Serena spotted Chuck who waved the couple over. Revealing the seats, he had saved for them. Nate and Serena sat down. Chuck waved to Lauren. Who smiled up at him. The Lights went down and the room darkened. The movie was called Home found me. It was about this young woman. Quinn's character who was trying to rebuild her life after her parents' untimely death. And if that wasn't enough the woman had just found out she was pregnant.
The movie began and it started off with letters the woman's parents had written her they had a strained relationship with her during the last few months of their lives. So, these letters meant everything to her because it revealed how her parents truly felt about her. The movie went on for a few hours by the end. Between the laughter and tears. The audience erupted in applause. Some were wiping their tears in between claps.
If Quinn ever doubted her talent all she ever had to do was look at this film. Looking around in amazement. The curtain went up. The actors bowed. And the applause and cheers got louder. When Quinn appeared. She waved and thanked everyone. We eventually got up to her. Hugging her and telling her how proud we were and how much we loved her. All of us walked out and started to go to the car. Quinn said she would stay back and was going to a cast past with the other people in the movie and said not to wait up. She would sleep where she was. So, we hugged her and she hugged Lauren.
Waved to us as we left. She went back through the doors. Closing it behind her. As the party continued late into the night.
I wanted and needed. Just like everyone else. I wanted to be loved and craved. Most importantly I wanted to be chosen. And that night I was.
Quinn thought to herself. The door closing behind her.
…
Days later
The wedding
Taking a breath. Looking over at Chuck who took her arm. The doors opening to the church. The aisle decorated with red and white roses. A fireplace creating a feeling of warmth and safety in the room. At the end of aisle. Guests filled the seats. Serena had on a sparkling white flowing wedding dress. Her hair was up. The veil long. Her face with minimal make up. A wide smile. The happiness erupting from her. While her and Chuck walked down the aisle. Waiting for her was Nate. And Quinn on the other side. Lauren sat squirming in Doretha's arms.
Eventually making it down the aisle. Chuck sat back down.
Nate and Serena now facing each other.
Vows were said. Tears from the crowd.
Rings put on each hand. At last the minister said.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now kiss the bride."
Nate takes Serena in his arms. Kissing her. Minutes later they pull apart.
And began to walk back down the aisle.
…
Hours later
Blair/ Henry
"I love you Henry." Blair said. Hugging him tightly.
"I love you too mommy." Henry said. Smiling up at her.
"I'll see you in the morning."
Blair said. As she closed his door. Walking into the living room. Where a cup of tea laid there waiting for her. Taking a breath. While she enjoyed her few minutes of silence.
In conclusion
Nate and Serena away on their honeymoon.
Chuck reunited with Blair and Henry.
Doretha volunteered to watch Lauren for a few days.
Missing having a baby around the house.
She had said.
Serena and Nate were fine with it.
More than happy then to indulge her.
Blair and Serena had reconnected at the reception. Both wanting and agreeing to move forward.
That left Quinn with the house for weekend.
Which would normally excite her.
But in this case, it was the complete opposite.
Taking a breath. As she looked down at the results and checked the box.
Which confirmed what she saw in front of her.
Quinn was pregnant.
