Chapter Two: Babies bring us together

Duncan's POV:

I could not believe what I was staring at. Princess and I had followed the high pitched shrieking noise and we stumbled upon… a baby raccoon. The raccoon was the size of a small bird, and finally stopped shrieking when it saw Courtney and I. "Ah!" Courtney squealed in a cutesy voice. "It's a baby!"

"No duh," I replied. This is the first time I saw Courtney act like this, and it was kinda cute.

"Should I touch it?" she asked.

"Why shouldn't you?"

"What if it has rabies?"

I laughed. "Princess, trust me, you'd know if it had rabies. The thing is safe just pick it up."

Courtney kneeled down and picked up the baby raccoon, holding it like a baby. "Hey there," she cooed, staring into the raccoon's golden eyes. If only she was that nice to me… heh yeah right. The baby stared back at Courtney, and put its paws on her chest, hugging itself to her.

"Hey watch it," I growled.

"Duncan!" Courtney hissed. "It's a baby. And not everything is perverted like you."

"Whatever." We looked back down at the baby. "I think it got separated," I said.

"I think you're right. That's why it was crying, for its mother no doubt. Ah! This baby raccoon has no one to take care of it!" Courtney exclaimed.

"And that's my problem how?"

"Not your problem, our problem. We found this poor little baby and we just can't leave it!"

I couldn't help myself, I had to smirk. "We?"

"Yeah, we. You and I." Courtney realized what I meant. "Perv," she mumbled.

"Well what do you think we should do with it?"

"Don't refer to the baby raccoon as it."

"Well we don't know what IT is."

"Then we should name him or her."

I crossed my arms. "Fine, Freddy it is."

"Freddy?"

"After Freddy Krueger."

"No!"

"Well what did you want to name it?"

"Hmm. Well if the baby is a girl I was thinking Britney."

"Britney?"

"After Britney Spears."

"Oh god, no Courtney!"

She laughed. "Just kidding. My favorite cousin is named Britney."

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, if it's a boy it's Freddy Krueger. If it's a girl it's Britney. Deal?"

"Oh… okay… but could you be the one to check?"

"No way Princess."

Courtney batted her lashes and looked at me with her shining onyx eyes. "Please?" she repeated. Damn it I can't refuse her when she's that cute. Damn it Courtney I swear you're my only weakness.

"Fine," I growled, as I lifted the raccoon's tail.

"Well?" she asked.

I sighed. "Can we at least compromise on Britney Krueger?"

"Yes it's a girl!" Courtney exclaimed happily. "Okay fine, Britney Krueger." She smiled. "You want to hold her?"

I didn't answer I just took Britney and held her firmly in my arms. Unknowingly Courtney set a hand on my shoulder and leaned against me as she cooed at the baby. Maybe this thing wasn't so bad after all… (A/N lmao Britney Krueger XD)

Geoff's POV:

"Come on babe I want to show you a secret place."

Bridgette giggled as she took her hand in mine. "This is so romantic, you showing me a secret place," she said.

"Yeah," I agreed. "But don't tell or show anyone, alright? If the Duncan or DJ knew I showed you, they'd get mad."

"Ooh sounds even more exciting when it's secret," Bridgette smiled.

"Hey guys!" someone called. Bridge and I turned around to see Gwen and Trent sitting under a tree. He seemed to be playing his guitar and Gwen was drawing.

"What are you two doing?" Gwen asked casually.

"Geoff is showing me a secret spot!" Bridgette squealed.

"BRIDGE!" I cried.

"Oops. Sorry baby."

Trent and Gwen walked over to us. "Secret huh? Well now we know about it so are you going to show us?" Trent grinned.

I sighed. I trusted Trent enough, he was my friend, and Gwen was Bridgette's. "I guess so man," I answered.

"Yay!" Bridgette smiled.

"But don't show anyone," I said quickly.

"Hey look around, everyone else is asleep this early in the morning. It's all cool," Gwen assured. The four of us started walking again.

Noah's POV:

"Izzy would you stop following me?" I asked annoyed. Crazy girl Izzy had been following me ever since she spotted me reading under the dock of the lake. She won't leave me alone."

"Oh come on Noah! Just put your book down and try it!" Izzy exclaimed. She took another goldfish snack and threw it in the air, catching it in her mouth and eating it. "Three in a row!" she exclaimed.

"If I try will you leave me alone? Why don't you go bother Owen or something?"

Izzy crossed her arms. "E-Scope says Owen smells."

"Of course he smells, he eats things four times his size."

"Ha ha!" Izzy laughed. She handed me a goldfish snack. "Try it. Don't worry, it's not a real goldfish."

"Really? Wow Izzy, I didn't know that," I replied sarcastically. Sarcasm was my MO. Sports weren't. Izzy never got my sarcasm though, she took everything literally, which destroys the point of sarcasm. I threw the snack in the air and it hit my eye instead of going into my mouth.

Izzy started laughing and I was about to yell at her until we heard, "BABE!"

"Who's out here?" I asked myself.

"That sounded like Geoff," Izzy answered. She grabbed my arm and pulled me through some trees until we saw Geoff, Bridgette, Gwen and Trent standing a few yards away. "Duck!" Izzy exclaimed as she pulled us down behind a bush.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I think something is up. Let's follow them!" Izzy answered.

"Gee, I'd love to, but I have much more important things to do."

"Like what?"

"Not caring."

"Come on Noah! We'll be secret agents! Like Men In Black!"

"You're a girl."

"E-Scope says different. Now come on, let's stalk them."

"Stalkerliscious." (A/N lol I had to put that in, when Noah actually said it that was hilarious)

"Come on Noah. Please come with me?"

I rolled my eyes. Stalking through a forest with crazy girl didn't seem to appealing. But I was curious to see what Trent, Gwen, Geoff, and Bridgette were up to. "Okay," I sighed.

"Excellent! Let's go!" Izzy ran off.

What did I get myself into?

Courtney's POV:

Duncan and I were walking back to the clearing and he was holding Britney while I pet her. Her fur was so soft, it was like a soft fur coat that just got shampooed and conditioned. I've never heard of a raccoon fur coat though, and I hope I never do. Before we reached the clearing we heard voices. Then as we stepped through we saw Geoff, Bridgette, Gwen and Trent.

"What are you guys doing here?" Duncan asked.

"What is Courtney doing here?" Geoff shot back.

"What is Gwen, Bridgette and Trent doing here?"

Geoff sighed. He lost because he brought more people. "Well I was originally showing Bridgette, and then Gwen and Trent tagged along.

"Gee, thanks man," Trent said rolling his eyes.

"Well I guess it's okay, considering I brought Princess here," Duncan said. "You're sure no one else is here?"

"Positive," Geoff confirmed.

"Izzy wait up! Running is not my forte!"

"Izzy?" we all asked confusingly.

Suddenly Izzy and Noah came into the clearing. "I win!" Izzy exclaimed.

"We were never racing!" Noah hissed.

"What are they doing here?" Duncan demanded.

"We followed them! We're secret agents!" Izzy answered.

"Well that's just great," Duncan growled, "Now crazy girl and nerd know about this place."

"Duncan keep your voice down. You'll wake up the baby," I told him.

Everyone got a shocked look on their face. "BABY?" they all exclaimed.

"Just what were you two doing?" Gwen asked Duncan and I.

"It's not like that!" I exclaimed.

"Not yet," Duncan snickered. (A/N LMAO!)

I smacked his head. Then everyone gathered around us and got a good look at Britney. "Ah she's so cute!" Bridgette squealed.

"Her name is Britney Krueger," I said proudly.

"What are you guys going to do with her?" Trent asked.

"Well we haven't figured that part out yet," Duncan answered. "But I swear you guys better not tell anyone about this. About this secret place, or about this baby raccoon. Chris or Chef cannot find out."

"Why?" Izzy asked.

"Yesterday I saw Chef run over a possum," Duncan answered.

"And?" Gwen asked.

"There was a reason I didn't eat last night's stew."

"Ew!" everyone exclaimed.

"You're secret is safe," Trent assured. "But I wouldn't take her back to camp. You should keep Britney here so she's safe."

I nodded. "Good idea."

"Shoot we've got to get back to the Mess Hall or else Chris will know we're gone!" Bridgette exclaimed.

"Can you cover for us?" I asked.

"We can try," Bridgette smiled. "Come on guys, let's hurry!"

And just like that everyone left and Duncan and I were alone again with Britney. I looked at him and smiled, "So I guess I'm mommy?"

He smirked. "Then just call me daddy."

Author's Note: Squee I loved the ending! I'm working on this story to get a few chapters ahead. Next chapter will be up soon. I try to stagger the chapters every other day. Do you notice how Duncan and Courtney aren't on total bad terms? That's because I think after them knowing each quite some time they develop a strong tolerance for each other XD Sometimes…

So I want to know what you think, PLEASE review and thanks for reading! Whoo!
