Tied Knots and a Baby

Chapter 12: In It or Spin It

**sets to Gwen's perspective**

Gwen's POV:

A week and has passed since Bridgette and Zoey's babies were born and I think the Total Drama critics could possibly go easier on contestants who are parents.

Trent and I currently don't have a manager for celebrity life, but there's a possibility of new agreements being put on contracts so we better avoid misinterpretations.

If we are forced into unwanted situations through mandatory restrictions, I'm sure Courtney and Emma's lawyers could help us dispel what's written on fine prints.

**switches to Trent's perspective**

Trent's POV:

I've noticed several other former contestants have been handling celebrity life more seriously than usual lately and I'm hoping Gwen and I won't have to go through the same situation.

Even if contestants were put under management from critics, the critics should know we are our own people and not be treated as slaves.

With our friends' support I believe changes to living conditions would most likely not result in disaster.

—Scene at the auditorium; at 2:45 PM—

Gwen, Trent, and their daughter Erika were at the latest assembly hosted by Bridgette that afternoon waiting for her to get onstage.

"It seems like Bridgette has become occupied with multiple tasks this week and she'll probably have more to do than just sharing media news." Gwen told Trent.

"I think so. She's also a parent now and Geoff said she is working part time with him on two jobs." Trent replied to his wife.

"I wonder if she will have spare time today." Gwen pondered.

The assembly started a moment later when Bridgette walked onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, welcome back to the show." Bridgette greeted the former contestants and the rest of the audience.

"I have a few announcements to make regarding the living standards of Total Drama contestants."

"In our current state, some of us are living as normal citizens and others are in showbiz on the red carpet; however there have been some updates to this year's contracts meaning new rules will be configured for former contestants if they were to sign them."

"The agreements on the contracts are optional for most contestants, yet there are unfortunately mandatory laws on the fine prints for several contestants who were chosen."

Several former contestants in the peanut gallery were stricken with curiosity and concern upon hearing what Bridgette shared.

"I know it has been a while, but since when were these mandatory rules assigned?" Cody asked.

"Much to our dismay, it had something to do with Total Drama's admins and critics; and I'm afraid Blaineley has taken charge of management." Bridgette answered.

"That doesn't sound good." Gwen thought.

"By any chance has Blaineley left the paperwork with us?" Trent asked Bridgette.
