Just the new fic that I am writing. I know I haven't updated Summer Kind of Wonderful for a while, but the inspiration is still a little bit gone.

I've been trying to think of a good idea for a Nate and Jenny fic, so I decided to do my own version of Season 3.

I know it won't be like this in the show, but thats what fanfic is for!

Enjoy!

A Wonderful Day for a Wedding

"Ooh look a ham and pineapple hedgehog" Nate commented picking one of the cocktail sticks up between his finger and thumb. Jenny slapped his hand away gently.

"The buffet isn't open yet" She informed him smiling.

He put it down "You look really beautiful" he told her grinning at her.

She twirled around in her magenta coloured dress, "I know" she replied winking at him. "I did design the dresses" she said.

"The dress is amazing" he added making her smile again.

"Thanks" she said quietly, and in a sudden movement she pushed a kiss to his lips.

He held her at the waist drawing her nearer to him "Someone might see" he murmured.

Jenny pulled back "I know" she said seriously her phone buzzing "Oh no Blair is having some kind of nervous breakdown I better go and make sure she's okay. She is so neurotic as a bridesmaid" she informed and she placed a kiss on his cheek "I'll see you during the ceremony" she promised him.

"Okay tell Lily I said good luck, oh and your dad" he reminded her. She nodded and went off in the direction of one of the many adjacent doors, he moved his hand towards the food covered table again "Don't even think about it" he heard Jenny shout.

He pulled his hand back, that girl knew him to well.

Jenny ran into the room where Lily, Serena, and Blair were getting ready "What's the problem?" she asked closing the door quietly behind her.

"This dress you designed makes my arms look fat" Blair shouted grabbing hold of a non existent piece of fat on her arm.

Jenny rolled her eyes "Your arms aren't fat Blair, and the dress is strapless so that's impossible anyway. Just relax, it isn't your wedding" she told her as she went over to Lily, who looked surprisingly serene considering she was the bride. Although this would her third wedding, so she must have been used to it.

"You look beautiful Lily" she whispered suddenly overcome with emotion at the sight of her new stepmother, it was cheesy but weddings made Jenny really emotional.

"Thank you and thank you so much for making the dresses they are beautiful Jenny" Lily said smiling up at Jenny who smiled back.

"I better check on my dad, make sure he and Dan are ready, you know what they're like" Jenny said happily as she left the room.

She knocked on her father's room and Eric pulled the door open and smiled at her "Hey J" he said smiling at her "You look hot" he commented.

Jenny grinned "So I've been told" she replied.

"What by that secret boyfriend of yours?" he asked teasing her smiling.

Jenny shrugged "Maybe" she whispered placing her finger to her lips.

Eric raised an eyebrow but Jenny ignored him and made a beeline for her brother who was struggling with his tie. "You are so clumsy" she muttered grabbing hold of it.

"What? It's fiddly" he responded allowing her to tie it for him.

"There you look smart as a button, or something like that" she told him grinning, "Where's dad?" she asked him noticing that her father was nowhere in sight.

"Practicing his vows, he said he would murder anyone that interrupted him before it was time for the wedding" he told her.

Jenny nodded "Right well its ten minutes till game time, so be out early okay. It's the bride that is supposed to be late" she told him.

Dan shook his head "She is so OCD about this wedding" he muttered under his breath.

Eric shrugged "Maybe it's because she's in love" he said dragging the last word out.

Dan threw him a questioning gaze "Yeh but who with?" he asked.

"Just breathe Blair, just walk down the aisle you'll be fine" Blair repeated to herself for the fifth time in a mantra like fashion.

Jenny looked at Serena "Why is she doing that?" she asked her quietly.

"I don't know Blair, has wedding issues and I suppose she sees this as practice for her own" Serena suggested.

Jenny looked at Blair who taking deep breaths "She's crazy"

Serena nodded "Yeh that too" she replied smiling.

Blair stepped on to the aisle after Serena and Jenny had made their way down, she was last because well she had only been made a bridesmaid as an after thought on Lily's part. She walked down as gracefully as she could, she was extremely aware of Chuck's presence in the seats as he stared at her that same proud smile he wore every time she did something – special or not.

The ceremony went without a hitch, it was perfect just like it should have been and now Jenny was completely relaxed - her months of planning to make this day special for her father and Lily had been worth it.

Jenny was sat at the top table and she could see Nate eyeing her from his table slightly further away, he was currently talking to Jenny's grandmother and looked as though he wanted to throttle her. Jenny smiled at him and he returned the smile.

He got up and made his way over to the table "You aren't going to ask me dance" he said pouting at her jokingly as he leant on the table.

Jenny looked around herself to make sure no one was paying them attention "I can't, no one is supposed to know about us. Remember?" she asked him.

He shrugged "One dance couldn't hurt" he muttered holding his hand out to her.

Jenny smiled "I guess not" she replied taking his hand as he pulled her up.

It was a slow song of course, Nate wasn't exactly the dancing type he was limited to a waltz that had been forced upon him at a young age.

"So did you enjoy talking to my grandmother?" she asked him as he placed his arms loosely around her waist.

He grinned "She's very talkative, like another Humphrey I could mention. But she's so proud of you. All she talked about was the fact you made these dresses and got into a design school while I just sat there pretending to be surprised by all this news" he informed her.

Jenny sighed "I know that it's hard with everyone not knowing, but when everyone found out last time that you had even kissed me it completely overshadowed the fact that we even liked each other. I just don't want to risk what we have" she replied quietly praying that no one would over hear.

Nate smiled "I know, I get it, I just wish I could kiss you right now" he whispered edging her slightly closer.

Jenny blushed giggling, "Maybe later" she whispered.

"Is that a promise?" he asked her.

Jenny nodded "You can meet me outside after the speeches and you can do all the kissing you want" she told him kinking her eyebrow.

Nate grinned, "Sounds like a plan" he whispered.

A glass somewhere in the room was being tapped and the dancing finished and Nate returned to his table whilst Jenny joined her brother at the top table.

"You and Nate looked cosy" he commented staring at his younger sister.

Jenny rolled her eyes "We were just dancing, you know people are allowed to do that at weddings its tradition" she retorted folding her arms. "You got your speech ready?" she asked him.

He nodded glumly "It sucks, but it's finished" he replied.

Jenny patted his arm "I'm sure you'll do just fine" she reassured him.

He shrugged "No one cares what I have to say anyway they just want to hear dad tell some hideously embarrassing story about his band days"

Jenny shuddered at the thought "Well they will get what they want then, he never misses an opportunity" she muttered as her dad stood up "Get ready to be humiliated" she whispered and Dan smiled.

"I have to say your dad's speech was a killer" Nate whispered, he and Jenny were currently sat outside on the steps of the hall where the wedding was being held.

Jenny looked at him incredulously "Shut up, he talked about having long hair and being a dude it was one of the worst I've heard" she mumbled remembering all the other speeches her father had given.

Nate placed his arm snugly around her waist and she allowed her head to rest on his shoulder.

"I missed you today" he whispered against her cheek. They had been spending almost every day together during the summer. He had only gone to Europe with Vanessa for a week because they had both realised that they couldn't be friends after what had happened between them.

The day he got back he and Jenny had run into each other. Somehow they had just start dating, as if no drama had ever occurred between them, but this time in secret as not to gain anymore unwanted problems.

Jenny smiled "I missed you too" she replied her lips finding his casually in the dark.

They remained still for a moment, as Nate stared at her his fingers laced through her blonde hair; it had grown longer over the summer and he often found himself fiddling with it.

"When are we going to tell everyone about us?" Nate asked and Jenny pursed her lips.

"We've talked about this Nate, I just want to enjoy the summer with you. I don't want this to be ruined" she whispered her hands clasped together as she spoke.

"Summer is nearly over Jenny" he responded his hands falling suddenly into his lap.

Jenny looked at him slowly "What do you want me to say?"

Nate shrugged "I don't know" he murmured.

Eric exited the hall, he had been told to look for Jenny by his mother, and apparently it was time for her to throw the bouquet. His eyes looked across the steps below him and his mouth fell slightly as he was greeted by the sight of Jenny and Nate seated next to each other both of them looking slightly pensive.

It couldn't be? Could it? Jenny's secret boyfriend couldn't possibly be Nate, she would have told him. But now that Eric was staring at them it seemed all together possible Jenny had seemed to gain her in love glow just after Nate returned from Europe he just hadn't thought about it.

Eric coughed gently, but the couple didn't stir so he decided he would play dumb and just call out Jenny's name "Jenny…" he called loudly into the darkness. He saw her move slightly as she cast a look over at Nate who nodded as if to say their conversation was over.

Jenny moved up the stairs quickly "What's up Eric?" she asked him her voice dry and with a slight sad tinge to it.

"My mom is throwing the bouquet… she wants all the girls to be there" he informed her, his eyes dancing with hers as she attempted to regain her smile.

"Oh okay then" she muttered quickly looking at Nate who had remained seated on the steps. "Let's go" she said stepping back inside.

Jenny walked quickly over to where all the girls were standing, but she didn't really care about catching the stupid bouquet she just wanted to figure things out with Nate. Her eyes travelled across the people filled room but he wasn't there, her eyes were forced back to the girls fighting for the bouquet when it hit her hard in the face. "Ouch" she mumbled as she swiftly bent down to pick it up.

All the other girls groaned as Lily chuckled lightly "Looks like Jenny's next to go down the aisle" she said sweetly patting Jenny's arm gently.

Jenny smiled somewhat forcedly at her, Blair gave Jenny a dark look "I can't believe you caught it" she said her voice annoyed as she stood beside her friend.

"You can have it, I don't want it" Jenny muttered foisting the flowers at her.

Blair gave her a strange look as Jenny stalked off in the direction of the toilets. Jenny pushed the bathroom door open and felt the cold breeze hit her face as she entered a cubicle and sat down. She felt as though at any second tears could cascade down her reddened cheeks and force her to be honest with herself.

Nate could be completely there for her and it still felt as though he was breaking her heart.

She heard someone enter the bathroom and she silenced the noise of her heavy breathing. She heard a gentle tapping on her cubicle door; she wasn't going to answer it until she heard him say her name.

"Jenny…" he questioned softly leaning against the door.

Jenny knew that she looked awful but she opened the door in spite of it. His eyes smiled easily at her as he stepped inside the cubicle locking the door behind him.

"Should I be on my knee right now?" he asked her sweetly barely noticing the fact she was on the verge of crying.

Her noise crinkled in confusion, until she understood the reference "I don't think we need to go that far" she whispered, a small smile threatening to expose itself.

He knelt down and clutched her hand in his, covering her small fingers protectively. "I didn't mean to upset you earlier" he explained.

"I know" she replied "I will tell my dad, but we can until he gets back from his honey moon?" she asked him.

He smiled nodding "I just don't want to feel like being in love with you is something I should be ashamed of" he informed her placing a kiss atop of her head.

Jenny eyes lit up as she gazed at him "In love with me?" she whispered almost to herself.

He nodded "I love you Jenny, I think I knew it the night you kissed me after we had that argument. I've just been hiding since then and doing stupid things, but I want to stop hiding" he told her his lips softly placed over hers stealing her breath.

She allowed their mouths to rest together for a moment before slowly pulling back "I love you too" she whispered resting her forehead gently on his.

Nate grinned "Well that is very good news" he replied kissing her gently on her lips.
