(Courtney's POV)

"Brooke got dammit here." Duncan said playfully clapping his hands calling out for his 1 year old daughter.

"Duncan, maybe if you were just to say that a little bit more nicer she'll actually come." I replied holding up a video camera taping Duncan and Brooke.

I smiled, happy family at last.

Duncan snapped at me as I snapped back in realization. Brooke was looking at me with her little bald head and her baby eyes…. Ahhh so cute…

I waved a little pointing the camera at her.

(5 Years Later…)

It was Brooke's 5th birthday, everyone came a long to celebrate it with us. Even her friends. Bridgette and Geoff too. But what caught my attention was Duncan's father. He came early.

I walked in the room with her birthday cake in hand seeing Brooke with Duncan's dad.

"You're here." I said placing the cake on the table near the decorations.

"Sorry, I let myself in. I wouldn't miss the special event." He said giving Brooke a present. I raised an eyebrow.

"Duncan's in the kitchen." I said walking away to Duncan. He nodded.

Duncan turned around, smirked, then kissed my on the forehead.

"You're dad's here." I said picking up a roll of tape to hang up the décor's.

He nodded and his smile faded.

(Duncan's POV)

Courtney walked out of the kitchen leaving me thinking.

Should I greet him?

Should I ignore him?

Should I what….

I walked out into the living room and Brooke came running to me with a violin in her hands.

"Look what grandpa got me!" she cheered as she strummed the strings gently.

"Great." I said walking over to dad.

He looked up and gave a heart warming smile. I raised a brow.

"What?" he asked.

"Shouldn't you be at home drinking?" I answered. He looked astonished.

He then turn his frown upside down and smiled once more. "I stopped. Been playing in the orchestra for months now." He announced. This news made me happy. But the bad news was that Brooke was 5.

"Good, and what's with the…" I asked pointing to Brooke playing the violin near a small stand with music notes on it.

"I'd think she'd have a talent like that from the blood, you know… me, your mother, Courtney." He said. Well it was true, Courtney was good at playing that little fiddle thing.

I walked over to Courtney leaving my dad to teach lil' Brooke the violin. She was setting up the table cloths. I surprised kissed her and she yelped.

"Sheesh, talk about warning." She said happily as she set down and kissed me back.

"Right…" I started but I saw a glimpse of a certain person in the kitchen. "Isn't that…?"

"Brooke. She time traveled, or Brooke from the future time traveled here." Courtney finished off. She called Brooke to tell her that… Brooke was waiting for her. Brooke jumped a little then took off.

"HEY, WEAR A JACKET IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!" yelled Princess.

"Yeah yeah." Brooke replied, she got that from me. She took her snow jacket and ran outside with her other self.

Princess let go of me and looked out the window watching her daughter and her future daughter talk. She then glanced at me, and I looked back, but I was staring at the number 5 decoration hanging from the wall. Sooner or later I had to tell her that my time was up.

"Kinda magical." Courtney said dreamily referring to Brooke playing with Brooke. Speaking of Brooke, she walked inside leaving the other Brooke gone. She had an emotionless expression.

Princess walked over to her and asked, "Hey, where's Brooke?"

Brooke turned around. "She's gone."

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Courtney worriedly like a sick mother.

She hesitated. "No." then she walked away.

Courtney shot daggers at me with a worried look.

(2 hours later.)

Everyone had come, Brooke's friends, Bridgette, Geoff, Harold, LeShawna and other people. It was actually not peaceful since the little 5 year olds and 4 year olds kept blowing those annoying party favors around like monkeys.

I watched them play for a while, but then I saw Brooke just sitting quietly eating away a piece of cake. I walked over to her.

"Can we talk?" I asked her, she looked up and nodded.

I held her hands and brought her to a nearby hallway, Courtney came around with empty plates and some frosting on her fingers from the mess that those kindergardeners made. She looked at me smiling cause' I was handling things.

She told me she was upset cause the older Brooke told her that I was dead. Kind of harsh for a little girl to handle, but eh.

I nodded and walked over taking plastic cups that were on the floor and empty plates on the table. I walked over to the kitchen where Courtney was quickly making little finger sandwiches. I opened the cabinet and placed the empty plastic utensils in there. When I turned around Courtney was right in my face. Sexy as it is, it was actually quite scary.

"Why is she so upset?" she asked still worried.

"Er it's her birthday, why would she be upset?" I answered.

"Ugh, you're so idiotic!" she said and walked off with the giant plate of sandwiches in her hands.

(after the party)

(Courtney's POV)

I gave Brooke a bath silently. She hasn't been talking much, and I was worried like Hell. Duncan never told me anything today, we barely talked to each other today too. And I thought today was suppose to be a great day!

I picked up Brooke and wrapped her around with a big towel. I shook her silly and wiped her body clean. She held the towel around her like a big blanket.

"Did you have a nice birthday?" I asked smiling.

She hesitated. Then spoke.

"Yeah." She answered quickly.

I stopped smiling. "Something's bothering you, you know you could tell me these things."

"No…" she said quietly. I rubbed her back.

"Why…?" I asked.

"Because Daddy told me not too…" she said still quietly, her emotionless face blank.

"Sometimes Daddy needs to tell me these things too….." I started sort of angrily that Duncan wouldn't tell me stuff. "I promise I won't tell anybody, you can tell me." I said feeling silly saying this to my little girl.

"Promise…?" she asked.

"Yes, promise." I replied looking into her icy blue eyes.

"… Daddy's going to die." She said.

Huh…. Wait… what?!?!??!

"O-okay, Honey why won't you go to your room, and, get your in your jammy's or something…" I said then hurrying to Duncan.

When I saw him I nearly jumped on him. But I tackled him to the ground…

"HEY! Easy hot stuff, my back is killing me…" he said turning me over so that I couldn't escape, I was under him, feeling his icy cold breathe, he was pinning me down.

"Why didn't you tell me you ogre?" I asked breathing heavily.

"Tell you what…?" he asked dumbfounded smirking.

"You know!" I said furrowing my eyebrows.

"Actually babe, I don't." he replied.

"Oh!!! I know you know, your just saying you don't know but you actually know, you know!!" I said fast.

"What?" he asked cocking his head a little and raising his eyebrow.

"That you're gonna die!" I blurted out. I really wanted to cover my mouth, but I couldn't cause he was pinning me down and crushing his chest with mine.

He frowned and stood up.

"I didn't want you to know…" he said.

"It's okay, at least… er… at least we know and were ready…." I said. We kissed then walked upstairs to go to sleep.
