17-Mr and Mrs At Last

Part 1

"Thanks for watching Belle, dad." Courtney smiled.

Nigel tried to smile back, but it was hard. This was the night before his daughter, his only daughter got married. As the father of the bride, he had the right to be more worried about it than the bride herself.

"Nothing I wouldn't do for my little girl." Nigel replied. "Especially on her last night of freedom."

"Shut up!" Courtney giggled, giving her father a gentle push at the shoulder. "You make it sound like you're never going to see me again, and I only live across the street!"

"Good." Nigel smiled. "I'd hate to never see my girl again. Maybe she'll even reconsider throwing her life away so young..."

"You wish!" Courtney replied. Nigel sighed, nodding his head.

"I do. I really do."

Courtney smiled. She knew her father didn't mean it. Deep down he was really happy for his daughter. The best part was that she was marrying someone Nigel knew and trusted too. Duncan was someone Nigel knew he could reply on to take care of his precious daughter. At least the worrying father had that to count on.

"Belle, you be a good girl for Grandpa, okay?" Courtney said, kneeling down in front of her daughter.

"Yes, mommy." Belle smiled innocently up at her mother. Courtney gave her daughter one last kiss on the head.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Belle leaned up on her tip-toes, giving Courtney a peck on the lips.

"I'll see you tomorrow, mommy."

Courtney got back up to her feet, watching Belle as she did so. She was quite reluctant to leave Belle there, but she knew she couldn't possibly have spent the night with the girls and Courtney. That was out of the question. Courtney was just worried; this was the first proper night she was going to be spending away from her daughter.

"Bye, daddy." Nigel wrapped one arm around his daughter, kissing the top of her head.

"Have fun, darling."

"I will." Courtney smiled. "Bye. Bye, Belle."

The brunette walked out of the door of her father's house, thinking about what she was about to get herself into. She was now supposed to be on her way up to the palace for her hen night with the girls, but she was honestly quite scared about it.

"Saying goodbye to daddy, Princess?" Courtney almost jumped half a mile in the air. Duncan had appeared out of nowhere, making her stop suddenly.

"Are you trying to kill me before tomorrow?" Courtney asked her soon-to-be husband, clutching one hand over her heart. She was quite a drama queen when she wanted to be. "Stop sneaking up on me!"

"Sorry, Princess." Duncan smiled, taking Courtney's hands in his own and pulling her closer to him. "You know I wouldn't want that to happen."

Courtney stared up at Duncan, resting her hands on his shoulders. She waited until he started to lean in. As soon as she could feel lips graze on hers, she pushed him away.

"Don't you have somewhere to be?"

"Yes I do." Duncan stole a kiss from his fiancée before she had a chance to resist another one, which she wouldn't have done anyway. "Bye." And Duncan was gone with a swift move of the wind.

Courtney smiled, shaking her head. Only one more day and he really would be hers, all hers. No one else's. That was one thing that she couldn't help but think about on her way up to the palace. After all the pain, after all the suffering, they were finally going to be together forever.

"Okay, Court." Arianna smiled. "This is your last night of being an independent woman!"

"We have to make the most of it!" Taylor chipped in.

All of the girls were sat around in their pajamas, waiting for the night to begin. They had all opted out of going out drinking for many reasons. A) The boys were out, and they just couldn't have risked bumping into them, B) A few of them were too young to drink, still and C) Staying in was a lot more fun to them!

"Can we make the most of it after I pee?" Courtney asked, not really needing the toilet, but needing to get out of the room for a few moments.

"Don't want to know the details!" Rebecca said, holding her hands up defensively. "Just go do what you gotta do."

Courtney laughed, getting up and skipping out of her cousin's bedroom. The hallway was pitch black, so Courtney flipped the switch closest to her on the wall to flood it with light. One good thing about her time living in the palace was that at least she now knew where everything was.

Alan came running down the hallway as Courtney was walking in the opposite direction. Neither was looking where they were going and ended up bumping straight into each other.

"Sorry, I-Oh..." Alan muttered, his voice fading out as he realized it was Courtney who he had bumped into.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." Courtney mumbled, her eyes looking to the side of the floor where his feet were. Neither wanted to look the other in the eyes.

The two teenagers hadn't spoken to each other since the other night, when things had-Gotten out of hand, shall we say. It had scarred both of them, so now neither was going to talk.

"No, it was my fault." Alan insisted, but didn't want to stick around for Courtney to reply. He kept on heading out to his destination, wherever that may have been.

It took all of Courtney's courage, but she eventually spoke up.

"Alan, wait."

The ex-Tracker stopped, but he didn't turn to look at Courtney. His face remained facing the floor and so did his eyes. Courtney looked straight at him, watching his every move.

"What?"

"Please don't be like this..." Courtney pleaded her voice no higher than a whisper. "I am so sorry for what happened."

"And I forgive you." Alan whispered, opening the closest door and walking through it. He didn't care where it led to, as long as he was away from Courtney.

A/N: hehehe!

LOL!

So...I have a day off of school today! And I know that it is now 2:33 PM...BUT! I was up late last night jotting down ideas in my NEW IDEA BOOK! Okay...It's not a new book...It's the one the school gave me to help me revise...BUT! I didn't revise and now I have a 400 lined-paged book with nothing to do with it...IDEA BOOK!

LOL!

SO! I have a few ideas I wanna run past ya'll...Now...PLEASE! Be kind to me...I understand if some of the pairings are not shipped by you guys...BUT! You have to understand that I DO ship ALL couples and these ones happen to be my favorite...SO! I am going to run a few by you :)

(This one is a really bad summary I wrote at 11:59 PM last night)

Courtney's parents are always packing up and moving out. Courtney doesn't know what it's like to live in one place for more than a few months. All she wants is a place to call home, but will she ever find one?

Okay...I know that doesn't really tell you a lot about the story...But I promise you it'll be a DxC story...If you chose to like it, good :) If you choose to hate it, EVEN BETTER!...Okay...Maybe not even better...LOL!

Titles I have in mind for it are;

Girl on the Move

My Life in a Cardboard Box

A Permanent Home?

A Place to Call Home

Please remember at 11:59 PM last night I was tired...Thank you :)

Next two are TxC stories I have in mind :)

My Guitar Man-Basically, Courtney falls in love with her guitar teacher, but he already has a girlfriend...I do have a plot for this, I just can't be asked to write a summary for it right now! LOL!

Second TxC story...Trent's parents think it is about time he settled down. Out on the pull one night he runs into a familiar face. One leads to another...But is Trent ready to settle down for good?

That one is title less...Yep...I know...

Last on is DxG...So I do understand that not all of you will like this one because you will probably ship DxC...BUT! I like DxG as much as I like DxC, and I haven't written a DxG fic in a while...Not since-OMG! No since September 11th last year! =O! That was my last proper DxG story...OMG! LOL!

(OMG! Spellcheck just asked me if I wanted to change DxG to DxC….LOL! I'M CREASED!)

On with this story...

Just One Kiss-All Gwen wants is just that kiss. One small peck is all she's been asking for. But she's never going to get it. He's got a girlfriend and she's invisible. They were just never meant to be...

Huh? Huh? I believe that was...Four new story ideas? I think...I'm unable to co9unt ATM...LOL! If they suck, like I said, I wrote them quite late last night! =O! LOL! I know...hehe!
