Ok, I should have uploaded this like, a week ago, but I was caught up for these reasons:

I sprained my thumb

School is ANNOYING and time consuming

Homework

I've tried to fix the computer, but that's not working out so well, it's covered in red sharpie from my sister.

I'm just lazy.

Forgive me? While your waiting for me to upload again, check out any other of my stories and review! THX!

Courtney's POV:::

I could see Lauren spying on me from her room. She could hear too, considering this was just a lousy, small apartment. I raised my eye at her, signaling for her to stop. She nodded and poked her head back in the door. "When I was little, my parents always pushed me to work hard, which was why I was so conceited on Total Drama Island. When I met you, I decided to be my own person. I was kicked out of the house, onto the streets, with no money, and pregnant with your daughter, Lauren. My parents never spoke to me again, until now. They called a while ago, saying they'd like to speak with me." I held tears back. "I'm sorry I caused you this." He said. "It's not your fault!" I held my hand to my forehead, and wiped my tears. "I need you." I let out. "I need to you to pretend to be my husband. So I don't seem like an even more lousy daughter." Duncan took a while to respond. "Ok." He hung up. Lauren appeared again. "LAUREN! Stop doing that! Mommy isn't happy right now. I don't need appearing out of thin air!" I yelled. I had realized what I said, and tried to comfort her. "I'm sorry for snapping, but I have a lot of stress right now. Your daddy is coming to see you." A smile washed over Lauren's face. "I really do have a daddy! Wait until the other kids at school hear this!" She ran into her room and handed me the phone. "Lauren, honey, I don't think that that's a good idea. I don't know whether he's really coming!" I bit my lip, remembering all the times he never showed up. There's was my graduation, when I got kicked out, my doctor's appointment, and several others. I had now realized how much I missed him.

Courtney's POV:::

As I got Lauren's hair ready for my parents, the doorbell rang. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Lauren, excuse me for a moment." I left the room, and the door was already open. "Ya know, you could have waited." I crossed my arms. "But I didn't did I?" I crossed my arms. "No." There was a calm. "Are you daddy?" Lauren showed up. "Am I?" He looked at me. "Yes. Lauren, this is your dad, Duncan." Lauren ran up to Duncan and he scooped her up. "Hi daddy." She felt his fro-hawk. "Why is your hair green? And sticking up? And why do you have earrings all over your face?" She asked. "Because it's the way I live." The doorbell rang again. "Oh crap! That's my parents! Pretend you live here, Duncan." I ran to the door. "Hello Courtney."

"Hmm, Duncan..." My mom said. "We're surprised to see you're still with Courtney." My dad finished. "And you guys thought I'd leave her!" Duncan put Lauren on the floor and she ran off. "Well, we really should be going. We can't miss the balloon festival! It's a long drive from Ontario." My jaw dropped. "You didn't come here to see us? Your daughter who you haven't seen in years, the one you abandoned! Or your granddaughter or son-in-law?" Duncan yelled. "We didn't come to see pigs, it was just on the way to the festival." My father said. "PIGS? HOW THE HELL ARE WE PIGS? We have a VERY functioning household, and we intend to keep it that way!" I argued. I couldn't believe what I had just said, I talked back to my parents! It felt so good! "We didn't raise a hell-raiser, Courtney. Don't you know any better than to talk back? Or marry a rude, selfish, inappropriate, delinquet?" My mom stood up. "Leave my house, and NEVER come back. You are no longer a part of our lives, and Lauren will never call, or visit, ever." I pointed towards the door and they left without saying goodbye. When I slammed the door shut, I ran to Duncan and cried. "W-w-why did t-t-t-they d-do that?" I sobbed. "They obviously don't see the value in you and Lauren." Duncan stroked my hair. I sniffled and looked into his eyes. "Will you stay a bit longer?" I asked. I missed him, and I didn't want him to go, I realized. "I'll stay as long as you need." I went back to crying.

"Thank you. Thank you for taking me out for dinner, I just needed some time to calm down after my experience." I said. Duncan had taken me to a fancy restaurant after I had gotten Lauren a babysitter, well, if you count Bridgette as one. "You obviously need Courtney time, and I respect that." Duncan said, sipping a glass of wine. (a/n: this has nothing to do w/ anything, but I think I just talked to my cousin who was using my grandmas cell, and I havent seen him since we were 5 and hes 6 friggin months older than me }:( grr, thx 4 yor time) "Since when do you drink Red Wine?" I asked. "Pfft, when have you been such a crybaby?" I glared at him, "What's that supposed to mean?" "Well, you haven't been the most joyful person lately." "I can be more joyful that you can ever be!" I left the table to sit in the car. I hugged my knees and...cried again. Maybe he was right?

YAY! 3 PAGES! I should really write more :( Anyway, R&R&R! (Rate, Review, and Read!) I love you all!
