Chapter 19
Normal POV
Monday
Firm
11:00 AM
As much as Courtney and Duncan wanted to celebrate their engagement, the main and only priority is taking down her parents.
They did however share the news with Duncan's parents and their friends but for now, everything has to be on hold.
Luckily they were able to get in touch with a lawyer the very day they got engaged. The lawyer was tough and a fighter that came highly recommended.
Her name was Emma and even though she was particular about who she took as clients, she took to heart what they had both been through, how much cruelty Courtney endured alone, her parent's unnecessary abuse and that it has only been them taking care of their daughter.
When all her parents did was treat their grandchild like an outcast, the moment she was born.
" I've been reading over the papers your parent's lawyer sent and it says that they want full custody of your child for the reason being neither of you is suitable or incapable of raising a toddler " explains Emma looking at the pair.
" That is a lie, I've been the main caregiver and raising my daughter by myself while my parents were cruel to her," said Courtney " and it was constant criticism from and not once did they even care for her they never even held her " she adds getting emotional.
Duncan holds his fiance's hand in hopes it helps her calm down "Keep calm babe " he says "You can't be like this when we go to court " adds Duncan watching Courtney breathe to calm down.
" Mr.Stone it's also noted that when you were in jail you were unaware that Courtney was pregnant with your child...correct? " asks Emma looking at him in question " Yeah I didn't know but also Courtney couldn't tell me she was pregnant because her dad threatened to press certain charges on me " explains Duncan.
Raising an eyebrow at the information Emma looks more serious " Press charges on you for what? " she asked looking between them.
Swallowing nervously Duncan looked at their lawyer " Mr.Preston was going to press false rape charges on me if Courtney ever told me she was pregnant " he says " which is as I said false ".
" What we're his reasons to say or even suggest such a twisted threat? " asks Emma standing.
" He said that so that Duncan would never find out about the baby " Courtney explains wiping her eyes "Okay I know that we've gone and reviewed over just about everything...so for now we gotta be careful from here on in especially when we go to court in 2 days " explained Emma looking over all the paperwork on her desk.
Looking at one another Courtney and Duncan try to remain positive...
Just then a cell phone rings...
" Is that you? " asks Duncan checking his " No not me " Courtney answers taking hers out of her purse "It's me " grunts Emma " What now? " she adds rolling her eyes...
Emma: Kitty I'm at work now...and for the one-millionth time I'm not lending you my designer bag...get a job!!!...it's not my problem...Again get a job!!!
Pressing the button to end the call Emma sighs heavily before turning back to Courtney and Duncan.
" I'm sorry about that little sister" she replied picking up a paper " Oh that's nice," said Courtney smiling " When she was little yes but now that she's just turned 17 and going into senior year of high school not so much " explains Emma frustrated before continuing where they left off.
1 Hour Later
12:00 PM
After a final discussion and giving all the necessary information and proof of income, Duncan and Courtney finally walked out of the office exhausted.
" I seriously hope this all ends in our favour and not with my parents winning " breathes Courtney while walking down the hallway with Duncan resting her head on his shoulder "It's gonna be okay she seems tough and will be fighting for us " answers Duncan putting an arm on her waist.
Sighing heavily Courtney lifts her head "Let's go pick up Serenity I just need her to be around us " she says feeling sad "Okay plus I'm sure Bridgette and Geoff would like to be relieved from babysitting " answers Duncan smiling "Maybe but they love watching her " said Courtney as they walked into the elevator.
Courtney's POV
12:30 PM
Pulling up to Bridgette and Geoff's house I couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Being here always calmed me down especially knowing Serenity would always have a good time, Geoff and her always played games or he would let her ride his back while wearing his cowboy hat.
" I hope everything was okay while we talked with the lawyer " I sighed as we reached the front door " Knowing that Geoff was having a playdate today I'm sure it's all good," says Duncan as he rang the doorbell.
It didn't take long for Bridgette to answer the door.
" Hey guys " she greeted us as we walked in "Hi Bridgette how are you both doing? " I asked taking my heels off " I'm doing pretty good " she replied smiling at us "Yeah I hope everything was alright," said Duncan as we all walked into the living room with deck windows wide open.
" Everything was just fine Geoff and Serenity are outside playing on the tire swing," says Bridgette as she led us outside.
All I could do was smile brightly at the scene Serenity was laughing and smiling having a good time as Geoff carefully pushed her.
" Wee...this is fun " she giggles "Right I told you tire swings were fun," says Geoff smiling "Though it's more fun when you stand on it and swing like mad " he adds making us chuckle.
" Yeah but not so fun when the rope snaps " calls Duncan from the deck "Daddy mommy " called Serenity happy to see us "Yo dude," said Geoff slowly stopping the swing to help Serenity out.
" Hi, honey did you have fun? " I asked as she ran toward us "Yeah...unki Geoff push me on the tire " she answers coming up on the deck "That's awesome " replies Duncan crouching down to get a hug from her.
" So how did it all go with the lawyer? " asks Geoff walking up to us "We've discussed everything and provided all necessary documentation" I explained feeling tired and stressed.
" Hey why don't you guys stay for dinner," says Bridgette putting a hand on my shoulder "Good idea babe plus when was the last time we hung out," said Geoff smiling at us.
" That sounds great to me, what do you say babe? " asks Duncan as he and the others look at me " That sounds great " I answered followed by hearing a few cheers. Plus some downtime with friends is exactly what I need.
" Alright it's take-out night, does Chinese sound good," asked Geoff looking at us which sounds good and that it's been ages since I last had it.
" And l this can also be a mini celebration of your engagement," said Bridgette as she hugged me "Thank you that's so sweet " I reply hugging her back while Geoff shook Duncan's hand.
3:00 PM
We all just sat at the dining table with various containers of Chinese food items.
This was a nice treat to enjoy with friends, even Serenity was enjoying it especially when trying to use the chopsticks.
" So when do you plan on having your wedding? " asked Geoff before biting into a spring roll " We haven't thought about it yet...because of what's happening right now " I answered turning to look at Duncan " yeah once this gets settled and over with then we can plan it," he said holding my hand.
" I'm happy for you guys and we both hope that you're happy in the many years that are coming," said Bridgette raising her glass "Yes to Duncan and Courtney strong love long life," said Geoff raising his beer bottle along with Duncan who's drinking water and myself am having wine " thank you," said Duncan.
" I know it's a touchy subject but I can't believe your parents Courtney...I mean who do they think they are? " asks Geoff shaking his head "Trust me when I say this they are not getting away with this," says Duncan taking a sip of water.
" It just angers me that they would stoop so low into wanting full custody " exclaims Bridgette before eating her vegetarian chow mein "Oh trust me we weren't happy about that at all " I answered taking a bite of the seafood teppan which was so good.
" Well if you need people to step on the stand during court let us know because we were there when hearing that..." Geoff stopped speaking as he looked at Serenity quietly eating her food.
He was refraining from saying inappropriate which was much appreciated, considering that Serenity already learned one word.
" That could be helpful babe," says Duncan reaching for a spring roll " your right it would be also we have to get DJ too " I replied recalling that he's also witnessed my parent's abuse.
" But just know that we're all going to be there on your court day to support you two and your parents are in for one hell of a ride " states Geoff giving us a good amount of confidence.
" Hell," says Serenity smiling at us "Thanks Geoff," said Duncan looking at Geoff "Young lady," I said upset making her smile disappear " Geoff watch your language," says Bridgette frowning at him "Sorry babe it slipped I'll be sure to be more careful...especially when our baby arrives, " Geoff says making us all stop eating...
" What? " I asked turning to look at Bridgette who looked at us "Uh...surprise," she said smiling.
Duncan's POV
8:00 PM
I guess today didn't turn out so bad. Yeah, going to talk to our lawyer was a bit of a rough start to the day, but hanging out with Geoff and Bridgette afterwards was awesome.
But the other bright part of the day was finding out Bridgette is pregnant, she's 2 months along but it turns out they were keeping it quiet til they reached the 3-month mark.
They felt comfortable letting us know especially when Bridgette was there when Courtney found out she was pregnant. Kinda like a reverse roll. We congratulated them and promised to keep it to ourselves til they announced it.
I just finished putting Serenity to bed while Courtney took a shower.
Caressing the side of her face I smile knowing everything will go well for us in, I was going to fight for our daughter.
Turning her night lamp on I kissed her cheek "Good night baby I love you " I whispered before walking out and closing the door.
I could hear the shower still going meaning Courtney was still taking her time, smiling mischievously I walk towards the bathroom.
* Lemon *
Quietly opening the door I sneak a peak to see steam but when I look at the glass door there I see Courtney's silhouette and I couldn't help myself.
Walking inside I close and lock the door.
I quickly strip down to nothing kicking my clothes to the side then walk over to the shower.
Opening the shower door Courtney jumps " Duncan...I'm just about done " she says but all I could focus on was how hard I was getting looking at her wet.
Stepping inside allowing the water hit me but I also make sure to stand behind Courtney.
Grabbing her hands I place them on the wall "What are you doing? " she asks as I slowly slide my hands down her arms making her shake a little.
" You know exactly what I'm doing " I answer huskily before assaulting her neck between light bites and kisses causing her to arch her back but when she did her ass rubbed against my hard dick.
" Mmmmmmm " she whimpers my hands now down her shoulders to her chest then finally holding those beautiful breasts that fill my hands " Oh Duncan " Courtney moaned turning her face to look at me with a lustful expression.
Our lips press together along with our tongues.
My hands slowly knead her breasts in a circular motion with her nipples getting pinched at the same time, causing more cries of pleasure.
Taking one of my hands Courtney guides it down to her wet pussy, slowly inserting two fingers she keeps her hand over mine as I move them in and out.
Parting from my lips our eyes keep in contact and our breathing gets heavier by the second.
" I want you inside me " she breathes leaning her back against my chest "Hands on the wall " I answered watching her do what I asked. Moving her wet hair to the side kissed her shoulders and then down along her back.
Holding my dick in my hand I slowly slide it against her wet opening making her gasp " Pleas...I beg you" she pleads looking back at me then without holding back I slide myself inside.
Her warm wet walls were already tightening my dick, I start moving my hips while my hands hold onto Courtney's waist "Yeah " she moans sticking herself towards me as I thrust more "You feel really good babe " I groan enjoying hearing the sound of our wet skin against one another.
Leaning towards her more I place my hands over hers continuing to move good and deep inside her " You are so beautiful, " I breathed picking up the pace " I love you, Duncan " gasps Courtney wrapping her right arm around my neck.
Turning the shower off I carefully slide out of Courtney and then turn her to face me, " what are you doing? " she asked then Without an answer I picked her up "Oh God " Courtney gasps as I push her back against the wall "Wrap those legs around my waist " I breathed as she did what I was told.
"You're crazy, " she says but then breathes heavily as I slide my dick right back inside, putting her hands on my shoulder "Yeah I am " I replied before I bounce her up and down on my dick " god you feel good " I exhale feeling get tighter " please don't stop...don't stop...don't stop Duncan " moans Courtney making me press her against the wall more and thrust faster and harder.
Watching Courtney bounce all wet couldn't have been any hotter and I was going to be lucky to be the only one to see her in this state.
Placing a hand on the glass Courtney leans her head back against the wall " I...I'm cumming oh fuck...I...I "Quickly pressing my lips over hers she screams as her orgasm came along with my release at the same time.
Wrapping her arms around my neck I kiss Courtney back deeply, parting a bit from her lips we try catching our breaths.
" Holy shit...that was something else " I breathed caressing Courtney's thighs in circles "That was amazing," says Courtney trying to catch her breath...
" Let's dry off..." I whispered giving her a mischievous grin...
10:30 PM
Falling back roughly on my side I was finally exhausted, out of breath and very satisfied.
Looking at Courtney she was also out of breath and surprised pressing the sheet against her chest, when she turned her head to look at me I winked.
" Duncan that was unbelievable...4 times in a row " she breathes turning her body to the side to face me " What can I say stamina " I answered wrapping my arms around her so that she was closer to me.
" Must be " sighs Courtney resting her head on my shoulder " You know I probably knew I wanted to marry you a long time?" I said smoothing her hand "You did? " asks Courtney looking at me "Yeah I couldn't see myself getting through life without you and if anything you make me better " I explain holding her left hand up to see the ring on her finger.
Smiling I couldn't help but feel happy knowing it was officially on her hand " Aw Duncan that's so sweet " she answers kissing my cheek " I do feel honoured wearing this ring " adds Courtney also looking at her hand.
There was something on my mind I wanted to tell Courtney, she did say my opinions matter I just hope she understands " Babe if I asked you to do something for me...not because but for a more personal reason " I explain sitting up and bringing her with me " Duncan you can always tell me anything even if it's personal " she answers caressing my face.
Taking a deep breath I continue speaking "Before we go to court I want to walk into that room more stronger and confident...I know that you see me as a lot already but for me there's something that will complete me, especially with you..."
City Hall
11:00 AM
" Do you Duncan Jay Stone take this woman to be your wife to have to hold, love her and cherish her in sickness and in health, til death do you part?" asks the officiant looking at me.
Taking a breath I continue smiling at the women who waited to hear my answer " I do " I answered winking at Courtney.
Even though she wasn't in a wedding dress what she currently wore still made her look like a bride, and I loved it. As for myself I just threw on the suit I wore for our first date.
" And do you Courtney Maria Rose Preston take this man to be your husband to have to hold, love her and cherish her in sickness and in health, til death do you part," he asks now looking at Courtney.
" I do " she answered trying to hold her tears " I love you " she breathes as our hands tighten together more " I love you too " I replied smiling.
" Then by the power vested in me and the province of Toronto I now pronounce you man and wife," said the officiant followed by stepping up to Courtney and kissing her.
" YEAH!!!! " cheers Geoff while Mom, Dad, DJ and Bridgette clapped.
" Mommy Daddy," said Serenity walking up to us and making us part from one another "Sweetie," I said picking her up as she smiles between me and Courtney.
I am feeling a hundred percent complete now.
With our court day tomorrow, I wanted us walking into that room not just as a couple but married, plus I already was liking the ring of Courtney Maria Rose Stone sounded badass.
And since witnesses were needed I called Mom and Dad along with DJ, Bridgette and Geoff because they were a huge part of helping Courtney when I couldn't be there. They all arrived wearing proper wedding attire which we weren't expecting but they wanted to be formal.
"Congratulations" cried Mom hugging us "Thank you," said Courtney hugging her "Thanks Mom" I breathed joining the hug. Afterwards, DJ, Bridgette and Geoff gave us their congratulations.
Dad then walks up to me with a straight expression getting my attention " Duncan " he says nervously "you're a married man now and I couldn't have been more proud of you for stepping up and taking care of your family " he adds then holds his hand out which I accept " thanks Dad " I breathed before he brought me in for a hug.
" Oh you both finally are civil " cries Mom making everyone laugh quietly.
" Alright so it ain't no fancy reception but let's all get some lunch," I said as we walked out of the marriage office but I grab Courtney's hand while everyone walked ahead.
" Are you okay? " she asks looking at me "Yeah...I just wanted to say thank you " I replied smiling at her "For what? " Courtney asks "For completing me and I promise I'm going to be a good husband to you " I answered resting my forehead against hers " your welcome I can't wait to spend my life with you " sighs Courtney caressing the side of my face.
" Let's have a real wedding the one you truly deserve next summer," I said wrapping an arm around her waist "Sounds perfect," said Courtney kissing my cheek.
Tomorrow is gonna be the hardest day ever but I'm more confident now, that we'll win this fight.
AN: let me know what your thoughts are.
