Tied Knots and a Baby

Chapter 10: Luck takes a Turn

Two months flew by since Trent and Gwen heard the news from the other contestants.

**sets to Trent's perspective**

Trent's POV:

I'm glad that most of our friends have been doing well over the last two months.

Gwen and I are still maintaining a healthy relationship as a family; yet we've had a few trust issues with Duncan since he was released from prison.

Although there were some difficulties among us and several other former contestants, there wasn't too much pressure.

I believe certain things between us and Duncan can be straightened out if we take the right actions.

**switches to Gwen's perspective**

Gwen's POV:

Trent and I have had decent times and a few undesirable instances with the former contestants while dealing with family life.

We've attended both Bridgette and Geoff's and Mike and Zoey's weddings along with Zoey's baby shower.

So far we haven't been forced to compete in game shows or perform on stage, and that's good news.

We'd be in a bad situation if we were to compete and care for our child at the same time.

-Scene at Gwen and Trent's apartment; at 2:30 PM-

Gwen and her husband were discussing about past events that could have affected them.

"Judging by some unpredictable things that happened to the other contestants weeks ago, there's a chance the two of us and our daughter will be experiencing inconsistent matters as well." Gwen said to Trent.

"It was said that former contestants; even the ones who aren't currently involved in media don't always get to live like normal citizens." Trent notified.

"Yep. From what I know, we're situated in the tier where most of our life is under our control." Gwen responded to her husband.

"Glad that we are; on the other hand not all of us may have been so lucky." Trent inferred.

"Remember what happened during the last aftermath show?" he asked.

"Yes, and that performance was not exactly a pretty sight. Duncan was forced to confess more of his secrets, and Mike had accidentally split into alternate personalties again from trauma." Gwen replied as the subject came to her attention.

-Flashback scene of the aftermath show-

***flashback from 1 week ago***

Duncan's flashback scene:

A reporter was interviewing Duncan in the midst of his closeup at the aftermath show.

"So Duncan, how has it been since you were released from jail?" the reporter asked Duncan.

"Well, I am relieved that I'm not in confinement or a hostile environment; but I can't stand the unwanted attention I'm receiving." Duncan replied to the reporter.

"How long did you consider yourself to be an official parolee?" the reporter asked again.

"Duh, isn't it obvious? I had a lawyer bail me out. I am on parole." Duncan said with slight discontentment.
