Duncan grabbed Courtney's hand bowing with her as they stepped off the small stage in the very same bar they met in. They made their way to the bar and smiled at the bartender. "Hey Tony, you liked our performance tonight?" Duncan asked his arm draped over Courtney's shoulder. "Oh please Duncan! I like it every night!" He laughed with them before catching a shimmer in the corner of his eye. "You popped the the question, Duncan?" Courtney smiled giving him her left hand so he could see the ring as she nodded. "I had to get her while I had the chance."

"Hello Gwendolyn." The goth looked at the man the voice belonged to as he smirked. "I'm here now. What do you want?" A smirk formed on his face which was mostly covered by his hood. "We both want things we can't have, and I have a plan to get us just that." She raised an eyebrow looking at him. "But Gwendolyn... just how far are you willing to go?"

Gwen sighed as she stood infront of the couples apartment door. They moved out of their old apartment that Gwen once inhabited as well, and moved into the wealthier neighborhood very close to Heather and Alejandro. She bit her lip before finally knocking on the door. Courtney smiled widely as she opened the door expecting for Bridgette to be coming by with her goddaughter, but her smile disappeared seeing the goth standing there. "Gwen, why are you here?" She closed her eyes for a second before looking at her. "Can I stay her-" "no." Courtney was about to close the door again before Gwen stopped her. "You didn't even let me finish.. I just need a place to stay, only for a week! I swear! I'll find an apartment!" Courtney thought for a minute and sighed. "As much as I hate you, I'm not heartless. But... try to fuck up my relationship with my fiancé this time." Courtney put her pointing finger to the goth's chest threateningly. "And, I will kill you." Gwen's eyebrows furrowed in confusion before looking down at Courtney's ring finger, which sported a big shiny diamond ring.

"Come in. The guest room upstairs is yours. Don't go past the bathroom it's off limits, you need anything you ask me. Duncan doesn't need to help you." Gwen nodded slowly as the brunette stepped to the side to let her in. She walked in following the future lawyer upstairs to the room she was staying in. "I'm downstairs if you need me. The bathroom is right there, don't go past it."

Gwen sighed happily as she brushed her short hair in the mirror. She slipped on her black slippers and made her way downstairs. Courtney sat on the couch with Bridgette, bouncing a blonde baby girl. "You're getting so big, Keala." She cooed to the baby as Gwen walked in the living area, Bridgette's smiling face was replaced with a shocked one when she caught sight of the goth. "Gwen, hi!" The friendly blonde got up and gave her a friendly-awkward hug. "Hey, Bridgette.." Gwen smiled lightly at the blonde before heading to the kitchen. Courtney said she could help herself to what she wanted, that didn't have Duncan written on it. Just as she looked at the 6-pack of beer that had a post it note with 'Duncan' on it, the front door opened. "Court, you wouldn't believe what happened at work toda- oh hey Keala!" He smiles at the baby after giving her mother a hug. He pecked Courtney on the cheek before picking up the baby smiling happily, not noticing the goth in the kitchen.

Courtney smiled as he held the baby in his arms. "Now, let me tell you too what happened at work. So first Geoff's dumbass was late as shit, so me and DJ had to wait fo- what is Gwen doing here?!" Gwen turned to look at the three in the living room, as her and Duncan locked eyes. She bit her lip before Duncan looked back at Courtney. "She's staying here temporarily till she can get her own place." "Courtney are you fucking crazy?!" Before the two started to argue Gwen rushed upstairs to the bathroom closing the door. She looked in the mirror at her reflection as she took a breath. She put the phone to her ear as it rung. "Hello?"

"I'm in.. get me Duncan back."
