Destiny's choice

Chapter 8

Here you go! Sorry for the wait! Enjoy!!

After 5 minutes I tried shushing her just for her Baby’s health. She slowly calmed down. Oh how miserable she was! Why are you doing that to her Duncan why? What did she do to you to deserve that?

“Courtney if you want to talk about it I am here you know, I will always be here for you…”
“Thank you Daisy”
“Want to talk?”
“Yeah why not; but please before we talk can you bring me a cup of water?”
“Sure”

Courtney’s POV
How did she know, was it that obvious? Anyway she is my sister and I think I shouldn’t keep it all to myself maybe talking about it will help who knows?

Duncan’s POV
I was sitting on my computer as usual (since it has been a while that I was glued to it) when one of my punk group members called. I didn’t bother to answer thinking of what happened yesterday. I was surfing on the net seeing what was written about Courtney and the baby and me when suddenly I found a site that sounded interesting so I started to read the article:

…Since Courtney is pregnant we can’t see her very often and Duncan disappeared since we supposed he knew about her pregnancy and we also think that it is the reason of him disappearing. All we know is that Courtney is living it hardly and as we think the baby should be 5 months old by now but we still don’t know what is its gender. We tried talking to Courtney but she refused audience to everyone by email not letting anyone see her and…

I stopped reading because I couldn’t believe it! The press knows more about Courtney and the child then I do. But then something caught my eye: a photo! A photo of Courtney. She was hiding her face waking with Bridgette and her sister on a sidewalk and her belly wasn’t really big yet her coat was just tight on it so I assumed that it was some months ago.
Then my phone started to ring again I cursed then answered angrily before hearing my friend’s voice:

“What's up? Why weren’t you answering man?”
“Cz I didn’t want to. What's it?”
“I just created a new application that rocks you will love it!”
“What is it about?”
“Oh just pass by me tomorrow so I can install it to you on your laptop okay?”
“K See you”
Then I hang up thinking about what it could possibly be about… like really if he was bothering me for nothing I was going to kill that s**t immediately…

-2 MONTHS LATER-

Courtney’s POV

Seven months already. We were in March and I love spring it makes me feel better. I was really afraid by now but everyone tried to help and support me and seeing the psychologist helped a lot even if I really was against the idea at first. When I was really losing hope for some reason I put the record of my baby’s heart that I recorded, on my laptop and hear it poring two tears but smiling with joy and relief that I was soon going to hold my baby in my arms pulling him to my heart happily. What was mostly bothering me was sitting, getting up, sleeping, eating, mood swings, depression… My body was exhausted but I had to make it for my beloved child and I was strong and I knew it… what I loved the most about my pregnancy was talking to my child because even if it sounds crazy to some people I feel like he reacts to my words. This small creature is stronger than we think it is. Especially when it comes to kicking me. You can say that he does martial arts in there; anyway why would this baby be a gentle one since you know who his parents are?
Talking about this child’s parents I didn’t see Duncan since that night. Well not because he kept his promise of course because he kept sending mails and try to call me at first but I didn’t bother to answer him. And one day all of a sudden he stopped calling it was so odd that I decided to check his twitter to make sure he was okay: if he tweets means he is alive. I think he was okay. Anyway who cares? And the weirdest thing was that every time he called and I reject the call I felt like a kick was given to me from the angel in there, but I think it is hazard. Anyway… But am I being unfair to my baby by avoiding his father? But anyway this father of his just knows how to ask questions not how to take care or handle his responsibilities and mistakes; even though it is not the Duncan I knew and loved who would take the circumstances of his acts anytime not caring…
I was just done eating dinner with my family when I went to my room as usual and locked the door. No one was supposed to know what I was doing.  At least I didn't feel like it. Even if Daisy tried to figure it out by trying to spy on me many times, uh she is such a child. The thing is I wasn’t doing a bad thing that I didn’t want them to know about, no of course, but it was... personal…

Duncan’s POV
2 months. She should be in her seventh by now. I tried calling and emailing her one week after the night I saw her but she rejected my calls, didn’t answer mails and blocked me everywhere… I kept trying till I got bored one day so I called her sister that I used to be friend with when we were dating. I think she was the only person to kinda appreciate me in her family.

-Flashback-

Duncan’s POV
After several minutes she answered “Hello”
“hi it’s Duncan please listen to me I need to talk to you…”
“…um…”
Then I heard Courtney’s voice asking who it was.
Daisy answered that it was a friend of hers that needed to talk to her about something. Good girl.
Then I heard her footsteps (Guess she was wearing high heels) before she said:
“Okay what is it? I am in my room so we can talk without her hearing us but make it quick because as I know her she will check on me any minute”
“Fine. Tell me about her”
“why would I? Let her tell you about herself!”
“I tried but she avoids me, rejects my calls, and blocks me”
“Duncan, I am sorry but I think it means that she doesn’t want to talk to you or let you know anything about her and\or the baby so I can’t answer you. I respect her choice. And hey all that is your fault if she refuses talking to you, YOU left her…”
“Come on Daisy Please…”
“No I am sorry”
“Damn it Daisy! You know that I hate pleading! And in spite of that I am doing it! And you know that Duncan Never pleads anyone!!”
“fine but just two questions k?”
“pff k”
“If it’s not enough I still can change my mind and stop talking to you”
Duncan (thinking): ‘oh she really is Courtney’s sister’
“no it’s fine. First of all what is that husband story?”
“How did you know about that?”
“I thought that I was the one to ask questions here?”
“fine! This is a lie I told her doctor to explain her depression. Second question.”
“Okay then how is she and the baby? Did she know its gender?”
“I think those are 2 questions?”
“COME ON!”
“Okay okay! Just for the sake of our old friendship. She is fine but too tired and exhausted, the baby’s gender is still a mystery.”
Then Courtney’s voice called Daisy.
“She is coming! We should end this conversation. Bye”
Duncan: “Bye. And oh I almost forgot I will be calling you every month okay? And don’t forget to call when she will deliver.”
Daisy: “WHAT?! But…”
She had been interrupted by Courtney opening the door and Duncan hanging up at the same time.
-End of Flashback-

Now I am sitting in my bedroom with my laptop on my knees absorbed by it as usual. I had been this way since two months already even that, one day, I totally forgot about a party that Geoff was throwing as I was absorbed by my laptop again. He was disappointed and kept asking about the reason of me not coming so I made up a lie that worked well but not as much as my other ones but well. And by the way, my friend’s app was awesome I even spent much time using it. It’s badly pretty useful…

One day in the late afternoon Courtney was in her room as usual and Daisy was sleeping on the couch in the living room and her parents were out of town when somebody knocked on the house’s door. Stretching and with sleepy eyes, Daisy opened the door to see some postman holding a bunch of roses with a note in it as he asked: “Are you Courtney?”
“Actually not I am her sister”
“Oh Okay then this is for your sister” He said giving her the flowers. “Could you sign this please?”
Daisy nodded as she signed and then the guy left. Daisy closed the door then went upstairs with the bouquet. Unfortunately for Courtney she forgot to lock her bedroom’s door so as her sister entered she closed her laptop quickly and violently.
“What is it? What are you hiding?”
“Nothing Special Just checking my mail”
“Really? Cz you don’t seem like it. Are you hiding something?”
“No! Anyway what were you here for? And what is this bunch of flowers?”
Daisy: “That is what I was coming for. Those roses have just been brought here by a postman I think, and he said it was for you.”
“Oh Really? Show it to me.”
Daisy gave her the roses which perfume was fragrant in the room. Courtney reached for the card to see from who it was but on the card there only were printed few words: “from: always with you” 

That's it! You will know more in the next part! And you might know who the roses are from ^^
Please review I want to know what you think so far^^
love you all
