A/N: Ok, so this is my third TDI story. It's a DxC story and I hope you like it!

Three-year old Kira stared up at her mother with her big blue eyes that were so much like her father's.

Hah! Kira had never seen her father. Probably never will. Duncan doesn't even know he has a kid. Courtney thought to herself.

Who woulda thought it? That Courtney, all around good girl, uptight, bossy, top of her class Courtney would be a single teen mother. How had this happened?

Three years earlier, Courtney was doing great. She had been in a relationship with Duncan ever since TDI. He was perfect for her, Courtney knew. She'd thought he'd stand by her through anything. Guess she was wrong. But back to that later.

Some people disagreed with Courtney. Specifically her parents. They tried to stop them at every moment. But they couldn't overcome Duncan and Courtney's love.

But just when it seemed that they'd be together forever, Duncan's family had to hightail it out of town. Something about one of his brothers robbing a bank, dirty cops, bribery, and scandals. Duncan had to go too, but he'd told Courtney he'd be back. Guess that was just another broken promise.

A few weeks later Courtney was getting sick all over the place, getting fat, and getting mood swings. Guess you can see what happened.

Yep, she was pregnant. So Duncan was gone, and Courtney was having his baby. This is already getting dramatic.

Courtney decided to keep her baby. She didn't believe in abortion, though she didn't have a problem with others who did it. She wanted this baby so bad. It would be hers and Duncan's little angel (or devil if it was like him). She had always wanted this; though she thought it would happen a lot farther in the future. A lot farther!!!

When she told her parents, all hell broke loose. She believed their exact words were, "I can't believe you're throwing away your life for that piece of trash's baby!" When she heard them say that and other equally hurtful insulting things, Courtney just walked out the door and didn't look back.

She later sneaked back into her room and packed up her stuff. She decided to leave her parents a note. Maybe she'd come back. After all, they'd eventually want to meet their grandkid. Or maybe not.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I guess you figured it out that I'm leaving. I'm keeping the baby. I don't know why you were always against Duncan and me but I don't care about that as much as the fact that you wanted me to get an abortion! Do you even know me at all anymore?

I was happy with Duncan and I'm going to keep this baby. As for what I'm going to do, I'm going to a friend's house. No one you know. Maybe someday I'll come back, if your future grandchild wants to meet you. Maybe not.

Don't try to look for me. You won't find me. I've picked up some stuff from Duncan. I'm going to go live my life.

But I still love you. Don't forget that.

-Courtney

All of that had happened so long ago. While staying at her friend's house, she'd found out there was a college that had a program called the Total Teen Mother Association. It payed for daycare for the children of teen mothers that had showed promise prior to getting pregnant. It gave them room, food, essentials, and childcare. Courtney applied and was accepted. Now she had one year left of college. One year left of the program. One year before she was out on the streets without a job and with her little baby. She needed a miracle.

Despite everything, Courtney loved her Kira. She looked so much like Duncan but she acted like her. Kira was Mommy's little Angel.

But Duncan was nowhere to be found. He'd never called, written, e-mailed, or even texted! She hadn't seen him since the day he'd moved. But she was still looking for him. She didn't know what she'd do when she found him but she knew she would find him.

"what awr yoo thinkn' mommy?" Kira asked.

"Nothing." Courtney said smiling at her daughter. "Just about how perfect you are."

"Yay!" Kira said.

And then someone knocked on the door and their lives were about to change…

A/N: So who do you think is knocking? And I'm not giving anything away. Nope. No spoilers. I hope you like this. Review if you want more!
