Chapter Six: Different Ideas

Author's Note: Whoo! Yeah! It's Friday night! A good night to update ;D Sorry it took a day longer. Anyway, enjoy chapter six XD

Courtney's POV:

Finally Duncan and I reached the Mess Hall and we snuck into the kitchen and started raiding the fridge. "I can't believe this!" Duncan roared. "This freezer is stuffed with hot pockets and frozen pizzas, and Chef hasn't fed us any of this!" I watched as Duncan angrily shut the freezer lid. "He saved the good stuff for him and Chris!"

"Calm down," I replied, "I'm sure you and Geoff can steal food from here later on."

"Oh trust me Princess, I'll make sure Geoff and I take our share of the good stuff," Duncan assured. He finally lightened up. "So what do babies eat anyway?"

"I don't know, just look for baby food," I answered.

Duncan rolled his eyes. "So what is baby food Princess?"

"Don't call me Princess! And I have no idea, okay?" I looked around the kitchen. "The problem is I don't know what baby raccoons eat."

"Doesn't their mom kill other animals, eat them, then chew the food and give it to the baby?" he asked.

"What? EW! No!" I exclaimed.

Duncan shrugged. "Nature can surprise you."

"Maybe we could feed Britney some mashed peas."

"Mashed peas?"

"Sure," I smiled. "In fact, yes, mashed peas! It's the perfect baby food!"

"Whatever darling. Sounds gross if you ask me." Duncan opened the fridge once again and raided through it for the fifth time. Finally he said, "I found something much better than mashed peas Princess."

"Oh yeah? What?" Duncan held up a can of Red Bull. "Are you serious? We can't feed a baby Red Bull!"

"Why not? Red Bull gives you wiiings." (A/N Lol Duncan XD)

"Red Bull is not for babies! Plus do you know how much sugar is in that drink? That is very bad for your health!"

"Ah I didn't know you cared."

"I don't," I growled.

Duncan shrugged. "I think Britney will like Red Bull a lot better than mashed peas."

"Oh really? Well we'll just see about that!" Ironically, I found a small jar of mashed peas in a nearby cupboard. "We'll let Britney choose which one she wants to eat."

"Suit yourself Princess," Duncan smirked. "But I'll guarantee you daddy will win."

"Oh yeah? What makes daddy so sure?"

"Because daddy is much cooler than mommy."

"UGH! No way! Mommy is much cooler than daddy!"

"Well mommy has a pole up her butt."

"And daddy has been to juvie." Suddenly I realized my face was only a few inches away from Duncan's. I started blushing wildly and took a few steps back, turning my head away from his. "Let's hurry. Britney is probably starving," I mumbled awkwardly.

He didn't seem awkward at all. "Whatever you say mommy," he grinned, putting a hand on my waist and leading me out the Mess Hall door.

~X~X~X~

Duncan's POV:

Britney was curled up in the same sleepy ball Princess and I left her in. "Ah! She's so sweet!" Courtney squealed.

"Please, let's not start the squealing. You'll start sounding like Katie and Sadie," I replied. I'll never say this to Courtney, but Britney was really cute. She had a little fluffy tail that had six black stripes and five gray ones, with a little black mask going across her two golden eyes and black paws.

Britney opened her eyes once she realized we were there, and the little raccoon yawned, stretched out and rolled over on her back showing her gray belly. "Oh look Duncan! She wants you to rub her belly!"

"No freaking way."

"Ah come on, what kind of daddy are you?" Courtney asked me teasingly.

"Princess, I'm not rubbing her belly. End of story."

"Bad daddy," Courtney scolded. Her eyes lightened. Then she took my hand in hers and guided our hands down to Britney's soft belly. Wow. This was the softest thing I ever touched. "See? This isn't bad at all," she smiled.

"Whatever," I huffed.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You're secret is safe with me." Courtney let go of my hand but I kept it on the raccoon's belly. Finally Britney flipped back up and now stared at the two of us with big eyes. "Okay Britney, mommy and daddy want you to pick which food you want," Courtney said. She lifted up the jar of mashed peas. "Do you want a delicious and healthy snack from mommy?" she asked sweetly.

"Trash," I smirked. I held up the can of Red Bull, "Come on Britney, daddy's choice is much more fun. Plus it'll keep you awake for hours."

"Mommy's choice will make you grow up strong."

"Daddy's choice won't kill you."

"Duncan!" Courtney screeched, smacking my arm. "That is so not funny!"

"Whatever Prin-"

"What are you two doing?"

Courtney and I turned around to see DJ standing there. "AH!" we both exclaimed, Britney running back in her crib.

"DJ why are you here? What happened to the challenge?" I asked.

DJ shrugged. "Trent and Gwen won the challenge so I came here to clear my head. What are you two doing here?"

"Making out," I answered, receiving another smack from Courtney.

"Ogre," she growled.

"Hey is that a baby raccoon? I love raccoons!" DJ exclaimed excitedly, coming up to us.

"She's got rabies," I told him. Smack!

"Stop it Duncan. DJ, this is Britney, the baby raccoon Duncan and I found. We've been taking care of her," Courtney explained.

DJ studied the situation for a second. "So what's with the Red Bull and mashed peas?"

"We're trying to feed her," I answered.

DJ started laughing. "You two don't know much about babies, do you?" he asked.

"I know how they're made," I grinned. (A/N lol perverted Duncan XD)

Smack!

"Ouch! Stop that Princess!" I hissed.

"Only when you stop," she shot back. "And no DJ, we're kind of new to the… parenting thing. Can you help us?"

"Yeah. You two are in luck, because I happen to have a bottle of milk on me," DJ said, pulling it out. Courtney and I raised a suspicious brow. "What? Mama says I've got to be prepared for anything." DJ held out the bottle. "Come here Britney, babysitter DJ is going to take care of you," he cooed.

Britney stared wide eyed at him for a second, then slowly crawled out from the corner of her crib, and onto DJ's lap where she latched on to the milk bottle and drank it. DJ supported her with one arm, and I must say he looked like a professional. "Wow man, I'm impressed," I complimented.

"Yeah. You are really good with babies," Courtney added.

DJ nodded. "Why don't you two go back to camp? I'll take care of Britney."

"Thanks babysitter," I replied. Courtney was about to object, but I put my hands on her shoulders and pushed her out of the clearing.

"What was that for?" she demanded.

"Mommy and daddy need a break," I answered. "I skipped lunch. Want to get a bite?"

She sighed in defeat. "Yes," she mumbled. I smirked as we walked to back to camp.
