Chapter 21
A genuine smile
Courtney's P.O.V.
I woke up to an unusual heat source lying next to me. I didn't question it, just snuggled up closer. Until the heat source moved wrapped it's legs around mine. I opened my eyes and saw Duncan's peacefully sleeping face staring back at me. I smiled. Waking up next to Duncan was what I wanted to do every morning. And I could. I recalled the previous days events in my head. I was engaged. Engaged to the most wonderful man on the planet. A deep sigh escaped my lips. My life was perfect at last.
I peered down at my left hand. There, gleaming on my ring finger, was a white gold band. It had three diamonds; Two small ones encrusted either side of a larger one, that was slightly popping out of the ring. It was my ideal engagement ring.
"Like it?" I looked up at Duncan's smirking face and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
"I love it." I told him. He then crashed his lips on top of mine, but before we could even get further than that there was a knock a the door. "Come in." I called, pushing Duncan off of me.
Bex came wondering into the room, her hands covering her eyes.
"Are you two decent?" She asked, I laughed. But, she was right, we weren't 'decent'.
"No." Duncan told her, slinging his legs over the side of the bed and pulling his boxers on. I watched Bex as she gave a shudder at the thought.
"Well, would you hurry up? In case you forgot, we have filming to do." She then turned on her heel and walked out the door, peeking her head back around and saying, "Shower first." Then slammed the door shut behind her.
When the three of us arrived at the studio all eyes were on us. Duncan managed to ignore everyone, Bex was soaking up all the attention and I must have been blushing like mad. I guess everyone knew the news about what had happened.
I made way into the costume department with Bex and the woman working there, Jenny, handed over my dress. It was plain black silk that reached down to the floor. I eyed it up a bit at first, but then went into the changing room to put it on. I pulled off my jeans and t-shirt and went to slide the dress on, but my reflection in the mirror caught my eye.
"Janine, go get Duncan for me, please." I asked.
"Okay." She scurried out the room as I kept eying up my reflection. It was weird. Not my reflection, but the newly formed baby bump that was bulging from my stomach.
A few minutes Later Duncan pulled open the door and locked it behind him.
"Wow, looking hot, Court." He teased, wrapping his arms around me. I then realized what he meant. I was in my underwear. I pushed his arms away from me.
"Duncan, this is serious." I growled, pointing down to my baby bump. I watched Duncan's face as his eyes trailed down my body to my stomach and a smirk grew on his lips. His eyes then reconnected with mine and I saw it wasn't a smirk, it was a smile. A genuine smile.
The dress just about fit me. I was definitely going to have to ask Janine to expand the waist band on the est of the dresses I had to wear. That way the baby bump wouldn't show through them. Lucky for me it didn't show too much through the black dress I was wearing for that day.I found it weird that I was only two months gone but a little bump was already starting to form. I hadn't started showing till I was almost five months with Bex. But I guess every pregnancy is different.
Duncan's P.O.V.
"So, when the baby arrives, can I name it?" Bex asked me
"Um, ask your mother about that." I answered, unsure of how to tell her no.
"Oh, come on. I could think of amazing names for the baby!" She whined.
"Like what?" I challenged.
"Well, if it's a girl I'd name it something pretty, if it's a boy...Disown it." She then skipped off set and over to DJ, leaving me thinking about the baby. Courtney had just started showing. I wasn't an expert on babies or pregnant women, but I'm pretty sure they shouldn't start showing that early.
I saw Courtney sitting by herself, reading her script. I started to make my over to her, wondering if she was thinking about the baby like I was.
"So, thought of any baby names?" I asked, sitting in an empty chair beside her.
"Duncan, we have another 7 months to think of names." She said, giggling to herself.
"So, your supposed to be the organized one, doing things like this as soon as you find out. Plus, you'd better think of some names before Bex does." I joked.
"Good idea."
A/N: Sorry for going a bit rambily at the end. I thought of something to write, then forgot what I was gonna put...
And, yes, you can start showing as soon as 5 weeks. Just saying in case someone wants to tell me I'm wrong about that :)
