I Love You

The Scary C Word

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy, all other characters unless otherwise noted belong to someone else.

Darcy sat in the limo with Lily and Serena. They decided to spend the rest of the week with her. Figuring out how they were gonna figure out how to tell Eric. Also how to tell Rufus about Lily's cancer. Darcy had been through the cancer thing. To be honest she wasn't sure how she was gonna handle it again. She just knew she had to be there for her sister and brother. Which she was also getting used to having.

"You ready" Serena asked Lily.

"To explain to Rufus the real reason I've been lying to him"

"He'll understand Lily. Trust me" Darcy said.

"Let's hope." Lily replied. "It was hard enough to tell him but now with your father involved. William and Rufus don't exactly get along"

"And here I thought he was avoiding the Upper East Side because of you." Darcy joked.

"Partially."

"Nothing like a grudge-era love triangle" Serena said.

"Square if you throw in my mom" Darcy said. "Should have been a movie."

They all laughed and Lily grabbed each of their hands.

"Thank you both. I know this last week has been rough with everything out on the table but you two sticking together will just make this all feel better."

"Well the universe threw us together my second day in New York. It was meant to be" Darcy said.

"I always felt like she was more of a sister than a friend to begin with."

"Me too" she replied.

They arrived at the Van der Woodsen's and headed up. Lily got out of the Elevator followed by Serena then Darcy.

"Oh god William" Lily said and Darcy smiled.

"Dad?" Serena said.

"Serena" he replied.

"Dad!" Darcy said and ran over to him and hugged him.

"Darcy Sweetheart. I guess I owe you that explanation now" he said surprised to see her.

"We can have that Ellis talk later." She replied. He kissed her temple and stood next to him. She could feel Serena staring at them.

"William what's going on" Lily asked.

"I was just about to ask you that?" Rufus said.

They all took a seat on the couches.

"Rufus. It wasn't my mother who was sick. It was me" Lily said and explained everything again. "He wasn't treating Cece. He was treating me"

"Mom said that's why you wouldn't see me. When I came looking" Serena said.

"I wanted to see you. I just I couldn't" William replied.

"Doctor-Patient confidentiality" Darcy replied.

"My family and I need sometime alone" Rufus said.

"Um sure" William said and glanced at Darcy who was nudging toward Serena and he turned to her "Listen I uh, know this is a lot to take in. Can I convince you to go somewhere and talk? If Eric's around I would love for him to join us."

"He's with the debate team but um let just change and I'll meet you. Um..."

"You can come to the apartment" Darcy suggested.

"Yeah I'll see you shortly"

*Serena and Nate*

Serena walked into the lobby to head over to Darcy's when she ran into Nate.
