Chapter 2
Day 2
Chuck sat in the chair next to Blair's bed. He'd just woken from a horrible night's sleep and was in pain from the positions he had put his body through. But Chuck couldn't care about his body at the moment as he intentionally watched Blair to see if there was any movement that would show him that this was all a dream.
Chuck jumped when a nurse gently opened the door and came through. "Mr Bass, you're awake." She said like she couldn't believe it was true.
Chuck let out a simple nod and turned back to the woman.
"I was just coming to let you know that Dr Miller would like you to come and see him now. He wants to talk to you about some very important questions.
"Okay." Chuck answered. He stood up, ignoring all the pains his body was giving him and kissed the top of Blair's forehead. He then followed the nurse out of the room as Serena came bustling up to him.
"Can I see her?" She asked Chuck quietly as he and the nurse stopped so they could talk.
"Sure, just make sure if you touch her you're very gentle." Chuck said like he didn't know what Serena would do.
"Okay." Serena said as she started to turn the handle for Blair's door. "Where are you going?" She asked Chuck, shocked that he was leaving.
"I have to go speak to the doctor about some things." Chuck said.
Serena gave a little nod in his direction and then went into Blair's room to see her.
When she first stepped in, she saw all the equipment that was located near Blair and was shocked into thinking how bad she was. It was the sight of Blair that made her gasp and freak her out more. She was lying on her back with her eyes closed and with lots of tubes and needles going in to her body.
She felt the tears slide down her face as she watched her best friend in a critical condition. She would never have thought it would have happened to any of them but she was proven wrong by her best friend lying on the hospital cot barely struggling to breathe.
She remembered what Chuck had said about Blair being pregnant and was shocked to find that the baby had lived and Blair was still fighting. She knew that Blair had left nothing in her will to if the baby had died. She knew the baby didn't stand a chance if Blair died now. She silently sat in the chair and placed a hand over Blair's small bump.
"Hey little one. I'm your Auntie Serena. I didn't even know you were alive. I thought Blair was normal. That it was just her and I. You know your mummy loves you so much and you know that your daddy does too. He would give anything for you and mummy to be better again." She said and felt some more tears trail down her face.
She moved her hand up and grabbed a hold of Blair's hand and squeezed it. "Don't go Blair. We love you, your baby loves you, and Chuck loves you. You have to stay and have to stay and be here for us. You're the strongest and you get us through everything. You can't go. You're strong and we need you. Stay. Wake up Blair. Please wake up." She sobbed. She wanted her to wake up more than anything.
Chuck followed the nurse down the hallways until they reached Dr Miller's office.
"Just go in there and introduce yourself as Chuck Bass. Follow this hall straight. Turn right at the second right turn, then left at the first left turn and then find room 1812." The nurse said.
Chuck nodded and the nurse reached her hand out and patted his back.
"It'll be okay." She said and walked back down the hallways to attend to her next patient.
Chuck knocked on the doctor's door and waited for his response.
"Come in." Doctor Miller called to the closed door.
Chuck turned the knob and walked inside and shut it gently behind him. "I'm Chuck Bass, here to talk about your patient Blair Waldorf." Chuck said feeling pain when he spoke her name.
"Oh yes, Mr Bass. Come take a seat." Dr Miller said as he pointed to a chair and watched Chuck sit down in it.
"Dr Miller." Chuck started but was cut off.
"It's John. Please call me John." He said as he was trying to make it easier for Chuck.
"Okay John, what did you call me here to talk about?" Chuck asked sadly.
"Yes. I wanted to talk to you about Blair's conditions and your options." John said as he looked at Chuck sympathetically.
"Okay." Chuck said as he waited for John to continue on.
"Okay first of all Blair's really lucky to have survived this. The car that hit her must have tried to stop because it's not that bad. She is in a critical condition. She's in a coma. Now that means that she could wake up at any minute or she might not wake up at all." He said slowly to let it all sink in for Chuck.
"Okay." Chuck said as he waited for the doctor to continue. "Second of all. You know Blair's pregnant, don't you?" He asked Chuck.
"Yes." He said simply and nodded.
"Well, there might be some complications if we don't make some decisions now about what's to happen with the baby. There are only two options. Option one is to have the baby removed from Blair and that will mean that the baby won't survive. Or option two is that we feed and hydrate Blair to double the dosage so that the baby gets the right amount of nutrients, then we can hope that Blair wakes up or if she doesn't come out of the coma we will have to have an operation and deliver the baby prematurely and hope that it survives, although the baby will need to stay in the hospital if it doesn't die during the operation." He said still looking sympathetically at Chuck. "What option will it be?"
"Can I have some time to think about this?" Chuck asked John.
"I'm sorry Mr Bass but if we don't get your decision now the baby could die. You have to make a decision now. I'm sorry." John said.
"Okay." Chuck said thinking really hard. After a moment silence he spoke up. "I want you to up the dosage. I want to keep the baby but I want you to worry about Blair more than the baby. She's the first priority." Chuck said and the doctor looked disappointed.
"Okay." He said and turned to more paperwork. "There's no I need to talk about you with, but are there any questions that you need to ask?" He questioned him.
"No." Chuck said and rose up from the chair. He walked out of the room and towards Blair's room. He took the directions that the nurse had given him and opened the door to her room.
His eyes met Serena's straight away.
"Hey Sis." He said in a tired greeting.
"Is she okay? What did the doctor say? When will she wake up?" Asked Serena, voicing all of her questions at once.
"I can't understand you. One question at a time." He said gently.
"Is she okay?" She asked and looked worriedly into Chuck's eyes.
"She in a pretty stable condition. She's in a coma, is likely to wake up any day. She's got a bit of swelling to the head but other than that just cuts and bruises. She's very lucky." He said repeating the doctor's reassuring words.
"Okay. That's a good start." She said quietly to reassure herself. The she asked the next question. "What did the doctor say?"
"He said that he didn't know when or if she was ever going to wake up from her coma. He said that the baby was a bit shaken but all over is fine. He said that I had to make a choice with the baby, to keep it or get rid of it." He said and let his words sink in to Serena.
"What did you choose?" Asked Serena panicked as she thought of the mistake if Chuck had chosen to get rid of the baby.
"I chose to keep the baby. I knew she would have already decided to keep it and when she wakes up, I don't want her to hate me. So I kept it. They're going to be feeding her extra through a drip so that the baby will have a good chance at surviving and getting all the nutrients it needs." Chuck said and Serena sighed in a way that made his heart ache for Blair.
"Okay, last question. When will she wake up?" Serena said waiting for the possible amount of days to be told to her.
"I don't know." He said with a sigh. "We don't know."
Serena fumed as she had no idea how Chuck would not know or how the doctor would not know. "What do you mean you don't know?" she asked, her voice rising towards the end.
"It's exactly what it means. I don't know. It could be tonight, it could be in fifteen days, it could be never." He shouted the end out.
Serena looked taken back as Chuck started to cry about losing Blair. He could not lose her. She was the one that had been there for everyone and... And... He was losing her.
Serena watched Chuck start to break down and moved towards him. She had never herself seen Chuck cry but it was so emotional and for Blair who wouldn't know. Serena opened her arms and he just about collapsed into them. He sobbed as he wished that Blair was coming back to him.
"Come on Chuck. Sit down and take some rest." Serena said soothingly.
He collapsed into the chair and sobbed as he watched Blair. He reached forward and took one of her hands and kissed it and held it tight in his own big warm hand.
He didn't even hear when Serena opened the door and left. She vowed that she would be back tomorrow to check on her.
She walked down the hall towards the exit when she collided into Nate.
"Oh Serena, it's you." He said sighing in relief. "Have you seen Blair yet, I was going to go up and see her."
"Yeah, I've seen her but she's with Chuck and he needs to have some alone time with her. He's so sad. He needs to just stay with her by himself and he needs to get used to her condition." She said as she watched Nate's face fall into a frown.
"Oh, okay." Nate said turned around to start walking.
"Nate." Serena called out.
"Yeah." He said as he stopped and turned to look at her.
She grabbed his hand. "Let's go home." She said and started walking, pulling him with her.
Nate caught up to her and pulled her towards him and wrapped an arm around her waist. "I'm sorry about your father Serena. I'm sorry for what I did." He said and kissed her forehead.
"It's okay." She said. "Let's just worry about Chuck and Blair. And we can be normal Nate and Serena who are worried for their friends. Like always." She said as she snuggled into him.
They walked out and into an awaiting taxi to go back to Nate and Chuck's place. They both snuggled in the taxi and just waited to start talking about everything once they arrived at his apartment.
Nate and Serena watched as the door's opened to the sight of the familiar Empire pent house which was known as Nate and Chuck's penthouse.
Nate pulled Serena through to his bedroom where they both collapsed, exhausted onto his bed.
"How is she doing?" Nate asked sighing as he hadn't spent any time with Serena like this in forever.
"Not too good. Some swelling to her head and she's in a coma." She said as she moved closer to Nate.
"How's the baby?" He asked as he suddenly became aware of the fact that Blair was pregnant.
"The doctor said the he or she was a little shaken up but overly, all fine." Serena said sighing as the fact dawned on her that she might lose her best. She couldn't lose Blair. Blair that had forgiven her with sleeping with Nate. Blair who had forgiven her about boarding school. Blair who had helped her with all the many boyfriend problems that she had had. Blair who had helped her with Jenny when she was trying to steal Nate. Blair who helped everyone but herself.
"Oh." He said and turned his face into Serena's neck. He inhaled her scent and gave Serena a tiny kiss to her neck.
"Mmm." Serena sighed as she relaxed. She loved lying there with Nate talking about everything that mattered.
"When she going to wake up?" He asked completely seriously but gently.
Serena felt the tears come to her eyes about the scene that had happened with her and Chuck at the hospital. She felt the tears run down her face as she coked out what Nate didn't want to hear. "They don't know." She said so unhappily. "They don't know." She repeated defeated. She felt that she could really lose Blair and let a sob escape.
Nate heard her sob and felt his heart clench. Blair had always been there for Serena. He knew that. Even after Serena hurt her and slept with him, she had forgiven her and helped her. Blair was still friends with him as well and he hurt because his friends were hurting. Chuck no doubt was hurting the most. He loved Blair, he still did. Nate was trying to be strong but truth was that he was scared, very scared. He didn't know what would happen if she died. Chuck would probably die too, he would be resentful if the baby survived and Blair died. Serena would be empty, no best friend and no one to be there for her. And Nate didn't know what he felt. He didn't know what he would do. She'd always been there for him. She wasn't in love with him and he knew that, but it was more of a brotherly sisterly love.
Nate held Serena and kept promising her that she would be okay. He couldn't promise her that and if he could change one thing in the world right now, it would be Blair's accident. He would have her wake up right now if he could. The only thing he could do was pray for Blair. Pray that she be alright and that she wakes up soon. Because if she didn't, there was going to be one hell of a situation on their hands.
Serena gradually fell asleep once she let it all out. The truth dawned on her and she felt very pessimist about the outcome. She didn't know what it was, but she had a feeling that everyone was going to have a rough journey.
Nate gradually fell asleep against Serena; he was tired by the emotional outbursts that they had shared.
They had shared an emotional ordeal and they needed their sleep because there was a lot left to come.
Chuck was sitting in the chair next to Blair's bed as he still gripped her hand. He had been sobbing for Blair and their unborn baby. He knew that Blair had known she was pregnant before she had been involved in the accident. He gently stood and gripped her hand. He lent down and brushed his lips over hers and then moved his lips up to her forehead. He moved back up and stood straight and looked down at her.
He gently lifted her gown up a laid a hand on the slight bump that he found on her stomach. She wasn't the same. She didn't have a flat stomach anymore. She had a slight protruding bump out between her hips on her stomach. Her hips weren't sticking out of her skin but it wasn't a bad thing. He looked up her body and realised that he breasts had gotten a bit larger. He hadn't realised that he had missed the changes in her body.
It had only been about three weeks since Blair had left him from what had happened with Jack and now he wished he had never done it. He reminisced about how he loved the changes that his baby was doing to her body. How both her and him had created a tiny little being in her body. How two people could make something and let it be so special.
"I'm so sorry Blair." he said expressing his sorrows out loud to her again. "I should never have done what I did with you and Jack. I should have been more worried about you than my hotel. I should have been looking out for you and our baby. Blair, I'm so, so sorry." He said and sighed when he didn't feel any movement from her.
He collapsed back into the chair and thought about how bad it would be if he lost her. He shouldn't be this pessimistic but he couldn't help, he couldn't lose her. He couldn't lose her or her baby. It just wasn't right it. It was like the universe was against him.
Blair would have never thought like this, he thought as he lay there uncomfortably in the chair. But he couldn't leave. He couldn't leave her in case something happened to her.
She couldn't leave him. She wouldn't leave him. She should be fighting, for him and her baby, their baby.
Not much mattered to Chuck anymore. Only Blair and the baby. If they were alright then he would be all right.
Chuck slowly drifted to sleep wore out from the day that had presented itself to him.
