"Carmen? Sweetie can we talk to you?" Courtney asked as she entered the little girls room and sat on the bed. Duncan and Brian sat on either side of Courtney, both glaring at the other as they sat.
"Yeah Courtney, what is it?" Carmen asked as she climbed up on Courtney's lap.
"Well, here it goes I guess. Carmen, you know how mommy and daddy took care of you after I left for the show?"
"Yeah"
"Well, mommy and daddy are only my mom and dad, they're not yours."
"Wait," Carmen said as her face scrunched up in confusion, "So I'm adopted?"
"No, no, no silly. They're your grandma and grandpa, not your mom and dad."
"But, that means that…"
"That I'm your mommy? Yeah it does." Courtney said as she apprehensively looked at her daughter. The little girl sat still for a moment before,
"Yay! Yay! Yay!" Carmen said as she tackled her mother with a big hug.
"And guess what Carmen? I'm your daddy!" Brian said once Carmen had stopped tackling Courtney.
"No way! Yay!" She began to tackle Brian with a giant hug when Duncan said,
"And guess what? I'm gonna be your stepdad soon!"
"Yay Duncan!" Carmen said as she hugged him.
"What?" Courtney said, a shocked look pasted on her face.
"Courtney Maria Garcia, will you marry me?"
"Yes! I will, I will!" Courtney replied as she smothered Duncan in kisses.
"Well, I'll get going then I guess." Brian said as he awkwardly got off the bed and hugged his daughter. "See you later Pumpkin."
"Bye Brian, I mean, Daddy."
"Adios, Brian!" Duncan yelled.
"So, mommy, am I going to have any brothers and sisters soon?"
"No, not that soon" Courtney said as she cuddled her little girl, "Duncan still needs to marry me."
"Will do, miss Garcia." Duncan said with a wiggle of his pierced eyebrow.
