Chapter Text

It's been ten years since Courtney got pregnant. Her and Duncan were now 27 and 28. Courtney went got her law degree from the University of Toronto and Duncan earned his license for tattooing and built his skill through an apprenticeship. Now, Court was an up and coming lawyer at her firm and Duncan was building a name for himself in the tattoo world. They were successful, despite the criticisms from literally the whole world.

Also, they had progressed greatly in their relationship. They learned to grow together instead of expecting the other to grow the way they wanted them too. Court was uptight sometimes and Duncan was reckless most of the time, but they made it work. And the second Court passed her Bar exam, Duncan proposed to her. It wasn't anything too extravagant. As a celebration, they went to a sushi restaurant and Duncan popped the question on the spot. He didn't have a ring, but he knew that it was their time. Courtney surprisingly said yes.

The wedding they had was huge (but simple) to accommodate their big families. It beautifully incorporated both of their styles. Courtney's elegance and Duncan's second and third favorite colors- black and red(accents to the white). Duncan's actual favorite color is lime green like his Mohawk, but Court had to draw a line.

Geoff and Bridge were the maid of honor and best man. Sofia was the little flower girl. She was seven years old and she was so beautiful. She had her mom's long light brown hair, her mocha skin, and freckles; but Duncan's striking blue eyes. They would have to explain to her why soon.

Court had a nice dance with her father,nothing as emotional as Duncan's dance with his mother though. Jane literally cried the whole way through and shared a lingering hug with her baby boy. Courtney also had a nice dance with her father in law, but Duncan forced his mother in law through the entirety of Take A Chance On Me, much to her chagrin. The funniest part was when Duncan took Courtney's garter off with his mouth to I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do. Her father was escorted out before that festivity. And coincidentally, Heather caught the bouquet. Alejandro would propose to her about a month after that day. She would refuse... Because a month later she would propse (he did accept).

It was a fun evening, but Courtney and Duncan were looking forward to after the reception. The wedding was nice, but mainly for the family and friends to have fun.  Most of the money was saved for a bomb ass honeymoon (Courtney hated when Duncan refered to it as such). Courtney and Duncan decided to spend a week in Fiji, a place they could relax together and get away from everyone and everything. It was very... eventful.

And a year after being married, Courtney and Duncan found themselves pregnant again. But this time they were prepared.

The grandparents had fun spoiling the child before they could even be born. Buying baby clothes, furniture, toys, and other necessities. Courtney almost didn't need to have a baby shower (but Jane and Shelby planned one anyways). And Sofia was excited to have a new baby cousin. So excited that she gave her baby cousin her old grey teddy bear with tattoos.

This time it was going to be a baby boy. They named him Stephen Rodriguez. And he had his father's black hair and his mothers mocha skin, black eyes, and freckles.

Now, Courtney and Duncan were at a 'family reunion' for the Rodriguez's that was a picnic in the park. Stephen was trailing after his cousin (sister), Sofia. Life was crazy sometimes, but Duncan and Courtney wouldn't have it any other way. Because at the end of the day, they had amazing family and friends and most importantly; they found their way back to each other.
