Hi, Im back. This story picks up from the end of Meant to Be. If you haven't read it, its fine because it will all make sense but i will give you a little overview instead of reading the whole story. Serena had left New York in her first year of college and returns after a couple of years with Chuck and a little girl, Scarlett. Chuck left Blair while she was pregnant because he couldn't handle being a dad but their daughter passed away. Dan and Blair are married and Nate and Jenny are engaged and have a son Ethan. Dan finds out Scarlett is his daughter and becomes a proper father to her. Blair cheats on Dan with Chuck and falls pregnant. Dan and Blair divorce and Blair has a little boy called Oliver Bartholomew Harold Bass. Serena and Blair become friends again. Dan and Serena start seeing each other behind everyones back and eventually tell their family and friends. Blair and Chuck work things out and Chuck moves into Blairs apartment. Dan moves in with Serena. On Scarletts 6th Birthday Serena tells Dan she is pregnant and that is where the story finished. This story will pick up a couple of months later. I hope you enjoy this new story and please, please, please review.

Pea's In A Pod

"S, How are you?" Blair stood up and kissed Serena on the cheek. Serena put her bag down and smiled at Jenny.

"Im good thanks, what about you guys?" Serena took off her jacket.

"Good"

"Fine" Jenny and Blair answered.

"Where are the boys?" Serena asked.

"Ann is looking after Ethan for a couple of hours while me and Nate had a meeting with the wedding planner" Jenny sipped her coffee.

"Chuck has Oliver. He wants to spend some time with him before he flies out to Dubai"

" Whats Dan up to today?" Jenny asked.

"He has a meeting and then we have a doctors appointment at 3"

"Aww S. Are you going to find out the sex of the baby?" Blair asked.

"Im not sure. I don't know if I want it to be a surprise. I think I am going to let Dan choose. I never found out with Scarlett so I am not bothered either way. As long as our baby is perfect and healthy" Serena smiled and rested her hands on her small bump.

"I didn't find out with Ethan. I wanted it to be a surprise but I had a feeling it was going to be a boy and it was" Jenny smiled.

"Is Scarlett okay with the baby now?" Blair asked.

"Yeah we brought her a book explaining things and this really cool one where she can write and help collect things for the baby's first year and feel apart of something. She is excited now. I was worried she wouldn't want a sibling but she is fine"

" She will make a brilliant big sister. She is great with Ethan and Oliver" Jenny added.

"Yeah she is. Don't worry about her she will be fine" Blair told Serena.

"So Jen, you excited for the wedding? Its only 2 more weeks now" Serena asked.

"Yeah it feels like forever since me and Nate started planning the wedding and now its finally here. I cant wait" Jenny grinned.

"It has been ages Jenny. Its been like a year and a half" Blair laughed.

"Well it's a good job me and nate didn't get married sooner because you was pregnant only a couple months ago"

"Very true. I would of looked awful if I was 8 months pregnant and in your wedding photos"

"Great I will just be 4 months pregnant and looking huge and awful in your wedding photos instead" Serena complained.

"S, you look wonderful and your bridesmaid dress will hardly show the bump" Jenny complemented.

"Im so huge though. I am only 4 months pregnant and I was nowhere near this big with Scarlett. This pregnancy has been a lot different" Serena moaned.

"Well maybe you are having a boy this time. Apparently pregnancy is different with boys and the second time round. Maybe you should find out the sex to see if you are having a little boy" Jenny smiled.

"Maybe. I cant wait to give birth and I still have another 5 months to go"

"When is the baby due again? I was on the phone to my mom and she asked me and I couldn't remember" Jenny asked.

"October 7th" Serena rubbed her small bump.

"aww the baby could be born on the day you and Dan met, if you have the baby a day late"

"That is pretty cute. Oliver was born on Valentines day. I hadn't even realised what day it was until about a month later. I just thought it was any other day" Blair smiled.

"Damn is that the time" Serena looked up at the huge clock on the wall in the café.

"Im sorry girls but I will have to leave you. I am supposed to be meeting Dan now outside the doctors. I will see you soon, bye" Serena smiled and stood up gathering her things. She turned around and seen Dan standing in the doorway to the café.

"What are you doing here?" Serena smiled as Dan walked towards her. She lent in and gave him a quick kiss.

"How did I know that you would lose track of time gossiping with Jenny and Blair" Dan smiled. Dan held Serenas hand.

"You know me too well" Serena smiled and kissed Dan again.

"Yeah you two really need to go. It grosses me out seeing you two like this" Jenny frowned. Dan and Serena laughed.

"Yeah, I would prefer if my food stayed down today thank you" Blair agreed.

"Alright I will see you both soon" Serena smiled.

"Bye Blair, Bye sis" Dan waved.

"Tell us how your appointment goes" Blair called after them. Serena smiled as she exited the café.

Dan sat staring at the clock going around on the wall. Serena was flicking through some magazine. Dan's left leg was bouncing up and down. He was tapping lightly on the arm of the chair. Serena looked up from her magazine and looked at Dan. She gently placed her hand on his leg and gave it a gentle squeeze. Dan looked up at Serena.

"Calm down. Its fine okay" Serena smiled sincerely.

"I know I cant help but be nervous. I have never been to one of these before" Dan held Serenas hand.

"I hope you haven't unless you have a range of kids that you have fathered" Serena smiled.

"Hmm wouldn't you like to know" Dan played along. Serena raised her eyebrow and Dan lent in to capture her lips in his.

"Miss Van der Woodsen?" A nurse called out. Serena smiled and stood up grabbing her things. She took Dans hand and they followed the nurse into an examination room.

"The doctor will be in shortly. If you could just lay on here, and lift your top and unbutton your trousers and pull them down to your waist slightly please" The nurse smiled and left Serena and Dan in there. Serena did exactly what the nurse said and climbed on the bed. She pulled her vest top over her bump. Doctor Clarkson came into the room.

"Hi Serena, Im doctor Clarkson. How are you?" the doctor shook Serenas hand.

"Im good thank you. This is my boyfirend Dan humphrey" Serena introduced.

"Hi nice to meet you Mr Humphrey. Okay Serena, tell me how you have been feeling this month?" The doctor sat down and began to take notes.

"Well I suffered a little morning sickness but then that went away after a week and I have just been feeling nauseous. I am also very tired and my breast have become swollen and very sensitive"

"Well I can prescribe some vitiamins to help with the nausea and I am afraid there isn't much I can do about your breasts. Most womens breast tend to stop hurting once they are out of their first trimester but it can differ in everyone. But everything seems to be progressing normally" Doctor Clarkson measure Serenas abdomen and wrote down the units.

"Okay before I perform the Ultrasound, would you like to know the sex of your baby?" Serena looked at Dan.

"You can decide Dan" Serena smiled.

"No we want it to be a surprise" Dan and Serena smiled at each other.

"Okay then" Doctor Clarkson smiled and put on her rubbber gloves.

Dan reached for serenas hand. He was worried and she could tell. Serena was excited. This was the first time she was seeing her baby and she hadn't seen an ultrasound in over 6 years. It was an entirely new concept.

"Okay I think its time to see your baby" The doctor brought the ultrasound machine over to Serena and turned it on. The doctor put a blanket on Serena's lower half and pulled her vest up higher.

"This may be a bit cold" Doctor Clarkson told Serena. She squirted the gel onto Serena's abdomen. Serena smiled at Dan who looked really nervous. The doctor moved the probe across Serenas belly. Serena grinned when she heard the heartbeat of her baby. Dan grinned with relief. He looked at the screen.

"Umm I cant work anything out" Dan said. The doctor looked up at the screen.

"Hmm that's strange"

"What? Whats wrong?" Serena asked panicked.

"It doesn't sound right. This is an old machine. I will get one of the newer machines with a higher resoulution. Don't worry" Doctor Clarkson switched off the machine and wheeled it out the room.

"Dan what is wrong with our baby?" Serena asked panicked. She had tears forming in her eyes.

"Nothing, Everything is fine. She is getting a new machine. The baby is fine Serena" Just then the doctor came back into the room with a new machine. She switched it on and put more gel onto Serenas stomach.

"Okay lets start again then shall we" The doctor smiled. She moved the probe across Serenas abdomen.

"Well that's why it sounds so strange" Serena and Dan looked confused.

"What is that?" Dan asked.

"Well your hearing two heartbeats" Serena gasped shocked.

"Please tell me our baby has two hearts?" Dan asked jokingly.

"No Mr Humphrey, Serena is having two babies. Congratulations its twins" the doctor laughed. Dans jaw dropped and Serena had tears falling down her cheeks.

"Here is baby number 1" The doctor showed Dan and Serena. They both smiled.

"And here is baby number 2" The doctor showed them the other baby.

"Baby number two is a little smaller but both of the twins are in perfect health and looks like they are developing on track. You can collect the ultrasound copies of your twins at the reception and you can book an appointment for 2 weeks time. Remember to take your prenatal vitamins and get plenty of rest. I will leave you to get dressed and I will see you in two weeks Serena" Doctor Clarkson smiled and walked out of the room.

"Wow, twins huh" Dan said, absolutely shocked.
