Chapter 10

Courtney's POV

October

Saturday

12:00pm

I can't believe were in October already and a month since Duncan has come back into my life...let me rephrase that.

Duncan...Duncan has come back into my life because he now knows of our daughter who I didn't tell him about til...

Sighing heavily I give up I can't word it or rephrase it any other way. All that I should say is he is a good dad to Serenity and she loves him so much just like he loves her. I keep holding back on telling him as to why I kept this from him, and after some deep thinking it was unfair to him. One things for sure he won't like it one bit.

" Mommy " said Serenity running into my bedroom with her shoes in hand.

I had just finished getting ready today was gonna be quite the day, checking to make sure I was decently dressed. I was wearing a beige long sleeved fitted sweater and black dress pants with a thin gold belt and black ankle boots. I wore a small pendant necklace with gold stud earrings, and for my makeup I went with a natural tone eyeshadow with mascara and eyeliner. For my hair I had it in a low bun then pulled a few strands to frame my face.

" You beautiful mommy " comments Serenity smiling at me " thank you and you look very pretty " I replied crouching down in front of her to fix her knee length magenta sweater dress with thick cream leggings, and her hair in small pigtails.

It was cold outside today and I wanted her to be warm " lets get your shoes on " I add helping put on her pink sneakers a gift from Duncans mom who we're meeting today.

I have been beyond nervous this whole week when Duncan said that his mom wanted to meet me and Serenity, I was shocked at first when he asked to make arrangements for the long awaited meeting.

I definitely couldn't say no to his mom for wanting to meet me or wanting to know her granddaughter, as soon as I said yes Duncan showed up the next day with 10 or more bags of gifts for Serenity turns out his mom was beyond excited for there to be a girl in the family. I swear she must of bought the entire store.

Just then we heard a knock at the door, " daddy is here " announced Serenity running off making me smile at her excitement.

Standing up I follow behind her to see that she's jumping eagerly waiting to see her dad. Once I unlock the door standing there is Duncan smiling " wow you look beautiful " he greets eyeing me up and down making me blush " thank you I tried to look decent " I answer opening the door more so that he can enter " trust me you don't have to try babe " he replies smiling at me.

Just then Serenity runs to him " hi daddy " she greets hugging his leg " there's my girl " said Duncan picking Serenity up " we meet gamma today? " she asks him smiling, " yes we are and she's very excited to meet you and mommy today " he said glancing over at me knowing I'm nervous " yay! I wanna bring Duncan deer too " she says mentioning her favourite plush deer only to make me smile.

Duncan smiles nervously at hearing the name of the deer, it makes me laugh thinking of how funny it will be once everyone finds out. " Okay honey go find him " he said putting her down " I really want her to change the name " Duncan adds trying to hide his embarrassment.

Opening the closet to grab my jacket and scarf I couldn't help but laugh lightly " well she did name it after you because it's special to her " I explain putting my jacket on followed by putting my scarf around my neck, " true " sighs Duncan only to once again get caught checking me out.
