Chapter 13: Birthday Girl
It was week until Blair Waldorf could celebrate her birthday. She would be twenty six years old, or young depending on your point of view. It had been a few years since Blair had, had a proper birthday party that didn't seem likely the way she used to party but things had gone very quiet in Blair's social life. It was still very active but not half as much as it used to be back in high school.
This ano was very different. A week to the dia it was her birthday, the old Blair would be rushing around making sure everything was organized, everything was ready and perfect for her big dia but this ano a week to go until her birthday and Blair Waldorf was spending it with Dan Humphrey.
Not her usual day.
It was afternoon in Manhattan when Blair arrived at Dan and Katie's. She was going to see if Katie wanted to go shopping. She had really grown close to Katie over the last few months of being back in the city, she really was lovely and being friends with someone new and someone who didn't want to be friends just for social status was something Blair was not used to, but worse luck Katie wasn't it.
“Hey Dan is Katie in?”
“Blair. No she's down in Long Island visiting her sister why?”
“Oh I just thought she might want to go shopping, but oi I'll see her some other time”
Blair said, kind of down hearted that Katie wasn't in. Serena had been busy all week she was at the Vogue studio shooting her cover edition. So having Katie around was really important to Blair.
“Are you okay?”
Dan said smiling down at Blair while she gazed disappointedly at the floor.
“I'm fine”
Blair mumbled.
“Come on seriously what's up with you?”
Dan replied as Blair walked into the apartment.
“It's my birthday seguinte week”
He slammed the door shut in surprise to her answer.
“And that's got you down. God Blair, I thought you loved birthdays, gifts. People telling you how awesome you are”
Dan was remembering the old Blair in that moment.
“Ha. Ha...No I'm fine honestly”
Blair giggled sarcastically.
“You sure?”
“Yes”
“Okay so Blair since you're here you can come with me to pick up stuff for the twins”
“Hey I'm not here to go toy shopping”
“Oh come on, it's only two blocks away and there is no way I can carry all those por myself and Katie can't do it”
“Ohh, fine I'll help you. Only because I have nothing better to do”
Blair sighed and rolled her eyes.
“Great”
“Yeah, Woo!”
Blair said waving her arms around just pushing the boundary's of sarcasm.
“Stop with the sarcasm right there”
So there they left to go toy shopping for the Humphrey twins. Even though she wasn't fully on-board with it, she had nothing better to do. Serena was busy. Nate was working. Chuck was out of town.
Dan was really her last option so even though she hated to admit it Dan Humphrey was her friend now, one of her best. If only her high school minions could see her now.
Meanwhile across town on the Upper west side Serena had taken a break from her fotografia shoot and was on her way to see Nate. She needed reassurance.
“So what did Blair say? I left kind of in a hurry before”
The image of what Blair had said came back to his mind, and it make him sigh and shake his head, the disbelief of what Blair had said was coming back to mind.
“She was fine with it”
As Nate reassured Serena her dropped down on the office chair with her jaw dropped to the floor.
“She was? Oh my God”
“I know. That's what I thought”
“I thought she'd fly off the handle”
“So did I. But she's changed”
“Yeah she has. Wow”
Serena and Nate both had a very confused look on their faces, it was like they didn't know Blair at all.
Blair and Dan had just finished at Toys 'R' Us and the bags were overflowing with toys and clothes for the twins. Dan and Blair were at the counter paying for the goods while Blair kept opening packed bags to see if what he and Katie had bought were the right choices, because if they were not she would soon voice her opinion on it.
“Oh my God Dan check it out, how cute is this?”
Blair said holding up a rosa, -de-rosa fluffy bunny outfit.
“Very cute”
“Oh I can not wait until they're born they will be just adorable”
Looking and seeing all the cute toys and little clothing made Blair feel very excited to see the twins, and actually a little broody, maybe one dia she would be a mother.
“What even with my genes?”
Dan made a joke just to please Blair.
“Yeah that is a problem but I think Katie's are strong enough to over do your imperfections”
“Hey...”
“I'm only joking Humphrey, anyway have you thought of names yet?”
Blair grinned.
“Yeah we thought Adam or Noah for the boy and Laura or Sarah for the girl”
“Oh they're cute names”
“What you like them?”
“Why wouldn't I?”
“Oh I thought you Upper East Siders went for extravagant names like Chardonnay or Champagne”
Dan went a little to the extreme with those names but it's what he thought of the Upper East Side.
“Champagne? You have to seriously hate your child to name it that”
“Right you grab those bags and I'll take these”
“Anything else...”
“Hey you offered”
“Correction you offered. I didn't have an option”
“Just get them Waldorf and lets go I wanna get início before Katie does”
“Oh so you want her to think that you traipsed down here all por yourself and carried these home. Taking all the credit?”
“That's the plan”
“Ugh. You're getting mais like me Humphrey”
Both of them giggled and picked up their bags, with much difficulty who knew two little bebês needed so much stuff, and made their way back to the Humphrey apartment.
_ _ _
It was a three days later. Four days until the birthday girl could celebrate. Blair was out with Katie. They had planned to go to Madison Avenue to look for dresses for Blair's party but being Blair Waldorf, Madison avenue just didn't cater for her needs. So an hora into their comprar it was only natural that the ladies ended up on 5th.
“What am I going to find here Blair? I'm a baleia and I hardly think Dior or Prada have something for me”
“Of course you can, you get it fitted for you”
“For me? We can't afford that”
“Now that's a lie, what about Dan's massive bonus. Why not take advantage of it?”
“You're a bad influence Blair”
Katie chuckled while waddling along fifth feeling that all eyes were on her but of course that her just being paranoid. But of course it wasn't long before they bumped into a familiar face.
“Hey Blair”
Chuck said as she walked past him not realising who it was.
“Oh hey”
It was an awkward silence. Katie just stood seguinte to Blair staring at Chuck waiting to be introduced. She shoved Blair to encourage her to tell her who this handsome man was. “Chuck, Katie, Katie, Chuck”
“Hi”
Katie responded with a smile.
“Hi...So how are you?”
“I'm good. How was Chicago?”
“It was business. So...”
He shrugged.
“Yeah. How are you doing?”
“Good. Everything great. Really great. Oh and por the way I'm having this charity event at the Plaza in a few weeks, I was...”
“Oh I don't know. I've got a lot on with the wedding...”
Blair assumed Chuck meant just her and not Nate, she had to make some quick excuse as how not to go, no matter how much she would amor to. Those sort of events never really happened these days.
“Oh you and Nate”
That was very pleasing for Blair to hear.
“Oh. Well I don't know I'll have to check with him”
“Okay, just let me know and I'll get you a table. I'll ask Serena too”
“Yeah great. I'll let you know”
It was kind of an awkward moment, neither of them knew what to say now. “Sorry but I can't stop”
Katie saw the silence between them and the odd looks she thought she better jump in.
“Yeah we have fabulous dresses to buy and that's going to be hard considering I'm the size of a whale”
Katie giggled.
“Don't worry you go”
Blair smiled and hurried on past him. “Oh and Blair...For seguinte week in case I don't see you, happy birthday”
Blair seemed surprised that Chuck remembered.
“...You, remember?”
“Of course I do”
“Thank you...Bye”
Blair said as she pulled Katie's arm and they walked away.
“Bye”
Chuck murmured as he watched them both walk away as Katie kept turning around to gaze back at him.
“Who was that?”
It seemed weird having to introduce Chuck Bass, there was a time where everyone knew who he was but Katie must of known with him being so successful just she didn't have a face to put with the much talked about man.
“Chuck Bass”
“Chuck Bass? The Chuck baixo from high school? You and Chuck?”
“You know? Oh let me guess the insider?”
Blair didn't realise for a segundo how Katie would have known that but of course she was married to Daniel Humphrey.
“My husband is, the ultimate insider”
Both laughed as Blair remembered the blast that Gossip Girl had sent out at Graduation labelling Dan as the ultimate insider, which he really was.
_ _ _
Today was the day. It was Blair's birthday. Nate being the romantic that he was had prepared the perfect dia for his fiancé, and of course it started with breakfast in bed.
“Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Blair. Happy Birthday to you”
Blair rolled around until she finally woke up and took her eye mask off and smiled over at Nate carrying the breakfast tray to her lap.
“Nate what are you doing?”
“Bringing you breakfast in bed”
“Oh that's sweet of you but I can't stay in I've got take Emma those files, you know for the book”
“No. No. No. I will take them. You are not doing anything today. It's your birthday. Serena is coming to get you later for a dia of pampering”
“She is?”
“Yeah, it's at that place you like”
“I amor you”
Blair smiled and kissed him. She was so grateful it had been a while since she had had a good pampering session.
“Love you too”
It was half an hora later. Nate had gone to Emma's to drop off Blair's papers for the new book, and while he was gone Blair had gotten a delivery.
Flowers.
rosa, -de-rosa roses.
They had been left with the security guard to be given to Miss Waldorf. The security guard brought them up to Blair and said a man had left them with him to be delivered immediately, she took the flores from the security guard and walked back into the apartment. They were so beautiful, rosa, -de-rosa roses. Blair smiled as she thought Nate must have had them sent to the door especially for her. But when she saw the card, it wasn't written in Nate's hand. It was Chuck's.
The card read,
Happy Birthday Blair, hope you have the perfect dia that you deserve – Chuck x
“Chuck”
Blair murmured with a smile on her face but all the while thinking about Nate and despite what he had said about being less jealous she knew it would hurt him, so she placed the flores on the coffee mesa, tabela and took the card and placed it in her pocket. She would tell him they were from Eleanor and Cyrus, a little white lie never hurt anyone.
