"That was called the washing of the hands. Also called Title 88 of the New York City Health code. Next we have dipping of the vegetables." I shared a place with Serena as if to say I told you so.
"You mean we're going to finally eat something." I start tapping my finger nervously and crane my neck
"Oh yes Parsley."
"Rosalie, sweetheart are you sure you're feeling okay, you look a little...on edge." Lily leaned over across the table. I nodded giving a tight smile. My eyes flicker over to the wine again, just one sip to calm my nerves. No, rose No!
"So if Corrine would get everyone the salt water for dipping."
"Wait, I'm sorry. Why is it some people know about your condition and some not What kind of daughter..." Gabriel attempted to speak.
"Shhh. There's praying about to happen." I tell him
"I'm so sorry Cyrus. Rosalie, if you're not feeling well or you're having...cravings" I groaned bad choice in words
"I thought Serena was the only one that knew?" Gabriel questioned
"Dude, shut the fuck up." I snap "Sorry Cyrus."
"Cyrus, Eleanor's friends are talking during the Seder." Cyrus' mother comments great she's getting involved
"They're our friends mother." Cyrus retorted
"Thank you." Eleanor adds
"I'm sorry I don't believe you, you say that you called Serena because you're pregnant." Oh christ here goes everything blowing up
"Wait, what?" Rufus and Lily exclaim
"Your boyfriend is dressed as a waiter." he continued
"It's a classic look, now shut your mouth"
"Rosalie." Lily shakes her head "I am so sorry Cyrus." she apologised
"This can't be possible you just went to the doctor last month. What is going on?" She questioned. I look to Serena for help but she was struggling same as me.
"I'm a cater waiter." Dan stood up
"What?" Rufus questioned
"And not a very good one." Eleanor commented and I groaned shrinking down in my seat
"I didn't want you to know. That's why Serena and Rosie have been awkward all night. They were just helping me out. I'm sorry Mr Rose. Mrs Waldorf. I'm very sorry"
"Apology accepted. Now take the parsley."
"Sorry Cyrus." I butted in "I'm not pregnant, you assumed that neither of us actually said those words. The reason I'm so on edge Lily is not just because of Dan's thing but this guy shows up here like he owns the place butting into our business. He was making Serena uncomfortable and I was trying to help, but then he got invited to sit down. And FYI their questions aren't because of pregnancy I'm a former addict and alcoholic which is the reason we should have gone with to get him out of the door. Hence why I'm only drinking water and all the choice in words is.." i trail off
"So, is this you trying to help with college?" Rufus went back onto the Dan subject and I've never been more grateful. Well at least it was keeping eyes of Serena. For now at least
"I know you didn't want me to, Dad but I couldn't do nothing."
"Oh by the way, you're a nosy B word, I won't swear in front of Cyrus again but Serena doesn't want you here You're just two slices short of a loaf to see that. Now if it's alright with everyone I'm gonna leave to got to a meeting, there is one across the bridge in a hour. And I'm hungry." I stood up and kissed Dan's cheek
"Apologies again Cyrus."
"Apology accepted." I head on out

The next morning The Humphrey's were standing outside my door after I came back from my morning swim.
"Uh, Hi?"
"Last Night went sideways for more than one reason, but we figured after a stressful night, we'd suppose you with breakfast.
"Dad brought his waffle Iron, we're cooking a full breakfast." Dan grinned
"In my apartment? When you live upstairs?" I wondered
"Change of scenery" Jenny replied
"Okay, then?" I opened my door and let them in.
Does anyone else really not like Gabriel? I mean he's just so annoying and in this episode he just butts in Serena's business for no reason. This is one of them moment where I actually feel sorry for her despite the fact that normally she annoys me.
