I Love You

Cece's Wake

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

Darcy walked into the kitchen and was greeted by Chuck with a kiss.

"Have you heard from William?" he asked

"I left a message, you left one as did Serena. You'd think he'd get back to one of us"

"He'll be here I promise." Chuck said and Nate walked in and started looking for something. "Looking for something?"

"Coffee"

"Top drawer" Chuck said "Darcy re-organizes when she's stressed"

"Again?" Nate said looking at her.

"Hey" she replied offended.

"Ready to go to Lily's" Chuck asked her.

"Yeah" she smiled then turned to Nate. "Tell Lola that if she needs someone to talk to I'm here."

"She's avoiding the whole Rhodes clan. That includes you"

"Makes sense." She smiled "Can you try anyways"

"Anything for my best friend" he replied smiling.

"Thank you"

They got to the Van der Woodsen and spotted Serena downstairs.

"Hey sis." Darcy said hugging her.

"I thought there was a family breakfast this morning." Chuck asked.

"Oh theres a lot more than that upstairs" Serena replied.

"Cece's wake?" Darcy asked.

"Yeah I came down to worn my mother"

"This should be interesting" Darcy laughed.

"Yeah" Serena replied. "Oh I almost forgot Blair texted me and Cyrus maybe found a loop hole in the prenup. So she may be released sooner than any of us thought."

"Oh my god! That's amazing." Darcy said. "She must be happy. As well as Dan"

"Definitely" Serena replied.

They headed up in the elevator to the apartment and walked in to an Irish Wake. Darcy began laughing and Chuck looked at her.

"This has Cece written all over it. She use to joke with my mom about this"

"Really?"

"They'd laugh for hours about how it would drive Cece's daughters crazy. Now that I know them I totally see Lily freaking out."

"You are enjoying this way to much"

"Oh most definitely" she replied.

Moments later after talking to a few people she spotted her father walk in.

"Dad!" she shouted and ran over to him huggling him.

"Dad" Serena said and he hugged her next. "I'm so glad you're here. It would have meant so much to Grandma"

"I wouldn't miss this for the world. I'm just sorry Eric couldn't make it back from Zaire"

"He wished he could"

William guided his daughters away from the entrance. They walked over to Lily and Rufus.

"I see things never change. The maid accusing my ex sister in law of stealing." William said.

"William what a lovely surprise" Lily said.

"Darcy called me, as did Serena and Chuck. I was on the next flight out. I just had to make a stop first"
