Hey Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here... and I have the biggest news ever. One of my many sources, Melanie91, sends us this: Spotted at The Gordon's Palace: Ronnie Gordon exiting a cab. Was it only a year ago our It-Girl mysteriously disappeared for quote 'family business in Europe'? And just as suddenly she's back. Don't believe me? See for yourselves: Lucky for us, Melanie91 sent proof. Thanks for the photo, Mel!

Ronnie walks through the halls of the Gordon Palace. The brunette hasn't stepped foot in these hallways for over a year. The Gordon's are the richest family in town, Carl Gordon and Bart Bass being business partners. Ronnie held her 4-month-old daughter, Talulah, on her hip as she made her way towards her bedroom.

Their maid, Judith, following along with Ronnie and Talulah's bags. "Ronnie! You're home. Oh, how i've missed you." Beverly Gordon, called out after her daughter. Ronnie plastered a fake, sarcastic smile across her face. "Oh, mother. Don't act as if you didn't send me away to Europe for a year." Ronnie fake smiled at her mother. "Ronnie, you know it was for your own good." Beverly argued in a calm town.

Beverly's eyes soon made their way to Talulah Archibald. "Oh, look how gorgeous she is." Beverly smiled at her grand-daughter, "Welcome to your home, sweet Talulah." The older Gordon woman said. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to unpack." Ronnie walked away from her mother. Ronnie wasn't going easy on her parents after sending her away to hide the embarrassment of their pregnant daughter.

"Miss Ronnie, are you going to Miss Waldorf's house for her party today?" Judith asked the brunette girl. "Yes, I was thinking about it. Do you mind watching Talulah for me? I won't be out long, i'd just like to catch up with some old friends." Ronnie smiled at her maid, "Yes, of course. Anything Miss Ronnie." Judith replied before walking away to do something. "Shall we go see your bedroom, angel." Ronnie said, lifted up her daughter after she had finished unpacking.

Ronnie walked to the bedroom attached to hers, "Oh, look at this, Talulah. It's beautiful, and it's all for you!" Ronnie spoke to her daughter, although she couldn't reply. Talulah had hardly any of Ronnie's features, she mainly looked a lot like Nate. It was easy to tell that Nate Archibald was her father if they looked at her. "Judith decorated and chose all the designs of Talulah's bedroom." Ronnie heard, she turned around and came to face with her father.

"Daddy. Hello." Ronnie said, "Hello to you as well, Ronnie. Welcome home." Carl Gordon spoke his first words to Ronnie since she was home. Ronnie knew that their decision to send her to Europe was mainly her mothers since she heard them arguing about it a few days before. "The room is amazing. Thank you. I'm sure Talulah loves it." Ronnie said, Carl stepped closer to Ronnie and Talulah.

"She really does look like him." Carl Gordon referred to Nate Archibald. "I know, which is another reason why I don't want people to see her." Ronnie said, her father nodded his head. "I understand your reasoning, but you can't hide her forever, Ron." Carl tried reasoning with Ronnie. "I know that, daddy. I'm not keeping her away forever, i'll still take her out just not when i'm with my friends. Especially not Blair. I need Nate to know before anyone else finds out." Ronnie said, her father nodded his head.

"I'm going to Blair's party tonight, anyway. Judith has said she will watch Talulah. I'll only be out for an hour anyway." Ronnie said, "Okay, sweetheart. Just remember your a mom now, not just a teenage girl anymore. You have responsibilities." Carl reminded his daughter, "I know, dad." Ronnie nodded her head, Carl walked to his office. Ronnie put Talulah down for a nap, began getting ready.

She didn't have much to do, just top up her makeup, make a little of an effort to look decent.
"I'll see you later, baby." Ronnie kissed Talulah's head, although she was asleep. Ronnie caught a cab, headed to the Waldorf's. Ronnie had to admit she was a little nervous about seeing her friends. Especially Nate. She knew he'd be there. Ronnie finally arrived, headed up to the party.
