Tied Knots and a Baby

Chapter 8: Decisive Life

College, parenthood, celebrity life, and occasional seasons of competition may have been challenging for Trent and Gwen in different ways; yet manageable with wise decisions at most times.

Again, they would be in for more experiences.

**sets to Gwen's perspective**

Gwen's POV:

I've gained a lot of knowledge from being a mom, wife, student, celebrity, and contestant concurrently over time and it has been around 9 years since Trent and I first met.

From what I know, there's still more to life ahead and I'm aiming for my career in astrophysics and art.

Being in business with the media is somewhat agreeable, but I still consider my family and career more important.

**switches to Trent's perspective**

Trent's POV:

Life has never been truly easy for any of the Total Drama contestants and we've had to face various difficulties ever since we first started competing on reality TV.

Things have improved after Gwen and I got back together and learned more during the past years; under other conditions, certain situations can affect us both.

We're 25 years old now and our daughter is around 2 months of age so we'll need careers to support each other as a family.

-Scene at the aftermath show auditorium 2 days later; at 2:30 PM-

Another reunion party was planned and held by the former contestants 2 days after Duncan was released from prison. Gwen, Trent, and their daughter attended the gathering that afternoon.

"Although we are often busy as a family, it's good to meet with the other contestants for certain occasions." Trent regarded.

"Instances like these can be meaningful at times." Gwen conjectured.

"I wonder how Zoey and Bridgette are doing." she thought.

"I think I'll chat with them while you meet with the other boys."

"Alright. Just make sure Erika doesn't draw too much attention from the others." Trent said to Gwen.

-2:35 PM-

Gwen and her daughter met with Bridgette and Zoey at one of the tables.

"Hi Gwen, nice to see you again." Bridgette greeted Gwen.

"It's nice seeing you again too." Gwen replied.

"We've got some updates from the last 2 days." Zoey said to her.

"What are the latest updates?" Gwen asked them.

"For my whereabouts, Geoff and I are getting married 3 days from now." Bridgette told Gwen.

"That sounds exciting." Gwen said to Bridgette.

Zoey noticed Gwen was staring at her abdomen.

"Uh Gwen, my news is obvious and I suppose you found out already." Zoey said to Gwen.

"From the looks of it, you appear to be pregnant." Gwen said to her.

"Yep. Although my stomach isn't that big, my doctor says I'm around 6 months pregnant." Zoey told her.
