Chapter 26

Four cans of paint

Courtney's P.O.V.

I was sat at the island counter in Duncan's mini-mansion. Bex and I had moved in with him after the engagment. She wasn't too happy about at first, but then she saw the house, if that's what you can call it. The place was massive! It had four floors and tons of unused rooms. Each was decorated with class and elagance. It was the total opposite of what you'd expect Duncan's house to be like.

The previous night Duncan had taken Bex to the premiere of 'Destiny'. They hadn't got back till one in the morning. But, even though she was totally knocked out, Bex looked happy. Duncan told me how much fun she had. It was a pity I had to miss out on the excitment. I didn't want to go out when I looked like I had a beach ball stuffed up my top, people would stare at me.

Bex came trailing into the kitchen, still half-asleep. She sat on the stool beside me and rested her head on my arm.

"Go back to bed, baby." I told her, stroking her silky, black hair.

"No." She protested. "I'm not-tired." A loud yawn broke up her sentence.

"Alright." I giggled, turning back to my newspaper.

The chef put a plate of pancakes in front of Bex, but she just stared at them for a few minutes. I watched as she got out of her seat and walked over to the fridge. Bex pulled out a bottle of ketchup and a can of whipped cream. I gave her a puzzled look, but she ignored it. She took her seat on the stool and then opened up the bottle of ketchup and removed the lid off the whipped cream. Bex then started pouring the ketchup with one hand and squirting the cream with the other, drenching the pancakes with drippy liquids.

"That is so gross, Bex." Duncan commented, walking into the kitchen. Bex took her fork and stabbed the panackes, shoveling them all into her mouth and then finding it hard to chew. She had a mixture of ketchup and cream running down her chin, but didn't seem to care. She just wiped it off with the back of her hand.

"I call it a Super Special Bex-a-cake." The eleven-year-old announced. I rolled my eyes at her and started to read the paper. The movie review section caught my eye, the first movie there was 'Destiny'.

"Do you wanna hear the review for Destiny?" I asked. Bex dropped her fork onto the plate and gave me a smug grin. "I'll take that as a yes."

"Last nights premiere of 'Destiny' was a huge hit. Young star Rebecca Evers definitley put a lot of work into perfecting the mischevious and spoilt character of Destiny. The on screen chemistry between her and her father, Duncan Evers, was unbelieveable. Heather Chang made another debut as the hated villain,Miranda Chaswick, who, kidnapped the young child of her former boyfriend, David Harris (Duncan Evers). Courtney Garcia, Duncan Evers finacee, stepped in last moment to fill the role of Destiny's mother, and did an excellent job of it. 'Destiny' is the twelfth five star film from big time movie director DJ Thompson. Another golden performance."

"I was amazing!" Bex shouted out, jumping onto her stool and doing some sort of dance. I started laughing at her.

"Don't laugh, Courtney, it'll only encourage her." Duncan warned me playfully. The three of us were in hysterics by the end of it.

Nobody's P.O.V.

After the family had a very messy breakfast and a good review for 'Destiny', Courtney summoned her finacee and daughter upsatirs to one of the spare rooms. There, on the floor by her feet, were four cans of paint; two blue, two pink. She wanted Bex and Duncan to paint the babies room so she, which means Duncan, could start preparing the nursary for the twins.

"It's up to you how you want to work it, but those two walls will be pink and those two will be blue." Courtney told them. "I'm going out with Bridgette so we can pick up somemore baby clothes and supplies." Because they didn't have enough already. "I'll be back in about two hours. Make sure you do a good job." Duncan gave her a soft peck on the lips.

"Everything will be fine, you just go have fun with Malibu." He said, giving her a quick sqeeze, then pushing her out the door. "She had too much doubt in us."

One hour and forty-five minutes later

The room was painted just the way Courtney had ordered it to be, but Duncan and Bex were unrecognizable. They were covered from head to toe in blue and pink paint. In the small amount of time it had taken to paint the room, they had also started up a paint war. It was a distastor.

"We are so dead." Duncan excalimed, taking a look down at Bex.

"Don't give up on me!" She cried. "We still have fifteen minutes!" With that, Bex ran from the nursary into her bedroom. She stripped out of her clothes and turned the shower up high, scrubbing at the paint covering her body.

When she stepped out, she grabbed her fluffy purpled PJ's and shoved them on. Then, Bex threw her clothes into the washing machine and started drying her hair. Duncan, who had caught on to what Bex was doing, was running around in a towel.

"She's in the driveway!" He called out as he zoomed past Bex in the kitchen, attempting to pull his pants up. Bex dropped the hair dryer and jumped on the sofa in the living room, turning on the Xbox and starting up a game for her and Duncan.

"Hello?" Courtney called out as she came into the house. Duncan jumped onto the sofa beside Bex as Courtney shut the front door.

"In here!" He called, picking up the remote and staring the game, that way it didn't look like they had been rushing.

"Oh, have you finished the nursary?" She asked, placing a few bags on the floor.

"Yes." Duncan answered, placing the game on pasue on walking over to Courtney. He wrapped his arms around her and planted a passionate kiss on her mouth.

When the broke apart, Courtney eyes up Duncan suspiciously. She ran her hand through his shaggy hair.

"Why is your hair pink?"

A/N: LOL! Busted!

I'm kind of running out of idea's. So, I'm probably gonna jump down the timeline a bit. I think next chapter will be three years time and Courtney's preparing for her wedding. How does that sound?

LOL!
