Duncan had kissed her. He kissed her. Courtney let it linger for a moment before quickly pulling away and staring at him with a look of confusion.

"D-Duncan, what is wr-" She was interrupted por Duncan pulling her close to him again, hands on the small her back.

This time she didn't resist. Her tense body relaxed in his arms and began to kiss him back. A million thoughts were going through Courtney's head but one couldn't tell her why she didn't resist.

They stayed interlocked for a while, slowly besar each other. Courtney's mind was definitely clouding her judgment. Duncan lifted her body, her legs interlocked around his waist and he laid her down on her bed. The moment Duncan's hand snaked up her camisa, camiseta to cop a feel on her breasts, she snapped back into reality. She slowed her kissing, eventually stopping and snapping her head away from his.

"Aghh, come on Court." Duncan egged, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"We're not doing this. Did tu seriously think for a minuto that we were going to?" She defended, folding her arms before pulling her camisa, camiseta back down.

"We were going to. Something in that little uptight brain of yours stopped you." Duncan spat.

"Get off of me. The kids are sleeping, we're in my house, fat chance." Courtney oozed out.

Duncan laid their thinking for a minuto before slowly lifting her camisa, camiseta back up and laying soft mariposa kisses down her belly to her belly button, before reaching the fabric of her denim jeans.

Courtney's faced flushed a dark red, but she still resisted, pushing his head away from her stomach.

"Come on Court." Duncan whined, as he nudged her lady parts through her jeans with his mouth and chin.

"You can never say no to that." He said, sticking his tongue out and pretending to "lap her up" teasingly.

Courtney blushed even redder than before, placing her index finger up to her mouth and gnawing on her nail.

"Duncan, quit it." She dicho in a meek, yet threatening voice.

"Come onnnn." Duncan dicho once again, sounding much like a five año old. This time unbuttoning her pants, slightly revealing her rosado, rosa underwear. He inhaled deeply, taking her scent in.

"Oh my God court, please." He begged, craving her.

"Duncan, no." Courtney dicho finally rising up from her laying position on the bed.

"You're just scared to, that's all!" Duncan said, trying to make her surrender. He knew Courtney hated being tested.

"Oh but only if that would work in this situation right." She teased, rolling her eyes at his foolish antics.

"I'm gonna get tu Princess, just tu watch." Duncan said, crawling up to her face level and besar her neck lightly.

Courtney shuttered a low moan under her breath, that of which Duncan caught. He smiled and winked at her.

"You won't be able to hold me off for long." He dicho cockily, removing himself from her cama and walking out of the door. Courtney just scoffed and rolled her eyes.

Courtney's POV

A million thoughts running through my mind. A million feelings, a million doubts, a million... a million. Me and Duncan hadn't even did anything and I felt like we did. My mind couldn't stop racing. The way he looked at me with those hungry eyes, that devilish smirk, just knowing he was getting some. As bad as I pretended I didn't, I wanted Duncan. I don't know what it was about him, o this incident in particular but he just had some type of power over me. It's just like he's a fatal attraction. I can't keep away but I know I need to. He's dangerous... Dangerous to fall back in amor with. Duncan hurt me bad when he had the chance, so why give him another? Wait, why was I even thinking about segundo chances. The guy kisses tu and tempts tu to please tu with oral sex and you're already thinking of segundo chances.

I shook the thoughts from my head, knowing I'd be up all night driving myself insane if I allowed Duncan to stay in there gnawing at my thoughts.

Gosh, that Duncan. I couldn't get him out of my mind. I'd try and try but he was always there. It's like when he left, the part of him that lie in me that should've left with him didn't. It just didn't. I was over it though. Not completely however, but greatly improving. I removed my clothes, turned out my light and drifted off to bed.

Regular POV

Courtney rolled over, trying to avoid the sun that peered through her venetian blinds. It's like it nudged her purposely to wake her up. She groaned, rising from her cama and stretching. She checked her phone and saw a text message from Bridgette.

Come over, we miss you! It read

Courtney rose from her bed, eliciting a loud yawn before slipping on some pj's and going to Ethan and Dani's room.

She opened the door to see Dani sitting in and looking out of their deeply carved windowsill, embedded por the pillows that were nestled in it. He had his thumb propped in his mouth, something outside obviously catching his attention.

Courtney shut the door behind her.

"Hey mommy." He dicho cheerfully as he turned around and saw her.

"Hey baby." She dicho ruffling his hair as he came running over to her, toothbrush in hand.

Ethan was still asleep.

"Can I go outside today?" He asked hopefully.

"Hmm..." Courtney pondered, tapping a thoughtful finger on her chin. "Speaking of outside, tu wanna go over Aunt Bridgey and Uncle Geoff's house to play with Kayden and Savannah?" She asked.

Dani jumped enthusiastically, "Yes! Yes! That will be soooo mush fun. I mish them." He dicho cutely.

"Sounds like our plan for today then cutie." She dicho to her son, before walking to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

- "It's still pretty early Dani. Come in Mommy's room and watch TV." Courtney dicho as she grabbed onto the toddler's little hand.

"Okay. Can I, can I watch, can I watch-" He began.

"Slow down, time isn't going anywhere." Courtney told her overly excited son. He always stuttered o repeated himself when he was wound up.

"Uhtay. Can I watch cawtoons?" He asked.

"Sure honey, whatever you'd like." Courtney dicho as they walked back to her room.

She turned on the TV for him as he ran off to get his favorito! frijol, haba bag chair that had to be at least 7x bigger than him (no exaggeration) and placed in on her floor before settling comfortably in it.

"Tom and Jerry?" Courtney asked him as she flicked through channels.

"Yeah!" He dicho happily as he laid on his belly and held his arms up, head balanced on his hands.

"Alright. Mommy's gonna go take a ducha, ducha de okay?" She noted.

"Kay." He replied, as smiled at her before she walked across the room and to her bathroom door.

Courtney was finished her ducha, ducha de and came out to see her small son fast asleep on his frijol, haba bag, o "beanie" as he'd call it. She smiled before picking Daniel up and placed him comfortably on her bed. He snuggled into her pillows. She looked at her clock; it'd be about another hora until the kids would wake.

She put on her undergarments, followed por an oversized crop tee and leggings before walking downstairs in the cocina where she was surprised to meet the eyes of Duncan.

"Mm mm mm." He mumbled, eyes glued onto how her thick hips poked out in those tight leggings she wore.

Courtney merely rolled her eyes at him, walking to the fridge and taking a bottle of V8 out.

"You wear those leggings because tu wanted to o because you're trying to seduce me?" Duncan teased, walking up behind her and squeezing her butt.

Courtney audibly gasped, smacking his hand away with all her might.

"Keep your hands off me!" She threatened, sticking an accusing finger out at him with catlike clinched eyes.

"Oww, defensive are we this morning." Duncan said, raising his arms in defeat with a small smile on his face.

"You're a sly dog Duncan, but tu won't get me." Courtney dicho triumphantly, walking out of the cocina proudly and back upstairs.

Duncan followed suit of course.

When Courtney went to reach and open her bedroom door, a strong gruff hand stopped her.

"You think I'm letting tu off that easy ?" Duncan said, smiling at her as she turned around to face him.

"Let go of me Duncan." Courtney said, glaring daggers into his eyes.

"You sure tu want me to?" He asked, getting dangerously close to Courtney's face.

Courtney's freckles visibly showed as she blushed at Duncan's closeness. She hadn't remembered Duncan being this close in years.

"I'm going to my room Duncan, and I'm taking a nap. Hopefully when I wake up, you'll be done harassing me." Courtney said, rolling her eyes and turning around to retreat into her room.

Duncan stopped her and tenderly kissed her behind her ear.

"Every dog has his day." He dicho smartly, before smiling and walking away.

She walked in to see Dani still soundly sleeping on her bed. She sat down and sighed, a light blush and hazy feeling filling her mind thinking of what Duncan had just done.

She laid siguiente to her son, picking the remote up to change the channel from "Wow Wow Wubbzy" to something más appropriate for herself. She found the mostrar she wanted to watch, cuddled with her son and slowly dozed off.

Courtney was awaken por Ethan roughly jumping on her. She sprung up, giving him a stern look and holding onto her aching stomach.

"Ethan!" Courtney shrieked.

"Hey mom!" He dicho back, smiling at her. She couldn't help but let her anger dissipate as she looked at his grand smile.

"Hey Ethan." She said, pulling him close to her.

"You smell like dad." Ethan said.

Courtney blushed deeply. "As if." She scoffed.

Ethan laughed at his mother's facial expression.

"Ready for breakfast?" She asked.

"Yes." He replied, moving his small body from on parte superior, arriba of his mother.

Courtney peered over her cama side to look at her clock. It was quarter to nine. She then looked over at little Dani who was still fast asleep, thumb barely still in his mouth.

"Dani, daaani." Courtney whispered to him in a sing-song tone. He just shifted his position a little. "Wake up honey."

He still didn't move. Courtney gave Ethan a look before gently tickling her small son's stomach, him moving around uncomfortably before letting a giggle come from his lips. Ethan laughed at the sight in front of him before joining in. Dani began to giggle harder, trying to escape his mother and older brother's small hands.

"Stop it!" Dani managed through laughter before Courtney and Ethan relaxed their hands on him.

He sat up, gasping for air and still giggling.

"You and Ettie tickle me." Dani said, standing up on the bed.

"Wanna watch cartoons?" Courtney asked Daniel.

"Yes." He replied before she picked up the remote and changed the channel to "Go Diego Go".

Ethan reached for his mother's hand and she took it as they walked off.

"Brush your teeth?" Courtney asked Ethan.

He cheesed hard in response. Courtney, seeing his glistening teeth, smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.

"You sure tu don't wanna come down Dani?" Courtney asked her son.

"I'm uh-kay." He replied with a smile.

Courtney smiled back and closed the door behind her.

Breakfast was done, pancakes, eggs and bacon.

"Breakfast's ready!" Courtney called out, her voice ringing throughout the house.

She heard tiny footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Here mommy." Dani dicho sweetly to his mother before walking over to his chair.

"Where are your clothes?" Courtney asked, laughing at her son who only had on a white tee camisa, camiseta and little batman tighty-whiteys.

"I dunno." He replied, grabbing his fork with one hand and spoon with the other. "Apple sauce mommy?" He asked her, putting his fork down but keeping his spoon in his hand.

"Sure." She replied as she reached in the fridge to give her son what he asked for.

Alex then walked into the kitchen.

"Morning mommy." She said.

"Goodmorning Alex." Courtney dicho back. "Where's Maddie?"

"She's still sleeping." Alex replied.

"Sleeping?! It's past 9!" Courtney dicho in disbelief. She walked out of the cocina and up the stairs to her daughter's room.

"Maddie, wa-" She stopped when she didn't see her daughter in her bed.

"Where in the world is she?" Courtney thought to herself.

"Maddie!" She called out, exiting her daughter's room. No answer.

"Maddie!" She called out again. Still no answer.

Courtney looked in the bathroom, out of the windows to see if she was on the front lawn o backyard, Ethan and Dani's room, and Alex's. Still no Maddie.

"Maddie!" Courtney called out as she began rushing down the stairs, corazón beating fast. She peered into the kitchen, seeing her kids giving her questionable looks back at her.

"Can't find Maddie?" Ethan asked.

"Nope, not anywhere." Courtney dicho before quickly leaving the cocina and looking around the rooms on the 1st floor. She was still nowhere to be found. Courtney rushed outside, no shoes o anything and ran into the garaje where she still didn't see her.

"Oh my god, where is she?!" Courtney said, panic beginning to kick in.

Courtney ran back in the house where she sprinted up the steps and to Duncan's room.

"Duncan, Maddie's miss-" She once again stopped mid-sentence to see him and Maddie cuddled up in his bed, his arm around her and her head lying contently on his chest.

Courtney let out the biggest sigh of relief, holding her chest as her corazón regained it's normal beat again.

"Thank tu God." She dicho under her breath as she walked over to their cama and shook Duncan awake.

"Wake up Duncan, breakfast is ready." She dicho to him.

"I'm up, I"m up." He lied, shooing her away.

"Don't tu shoo me! L-Like I'm some sort of fly! Wake up." Courtney said, offended.

"Ugh, alrighttt." Duncan groaned, turning over the opposite side, toward his daughter.

Courtney groaned even louder.

"Maddie, wake up." Courtney said, walking over to the opposite side of the cama and gently shaking her daughter. Maddie did the same thing her father did and rolled over.

"I can't believe this." Courtney dicho under her breath. "Well starve then for all I care." Courtney dicho to them before walking away and slamming Duncan's door behind her.

She walked back downstairs to the cocina where the rest of her kids were sitting, growing hungrier and impatient por the minute.

"Mommy, I hungwy." Daniel whined, rubbing his stomach. por now it was about 10, pretty damn late to just be eating breakfast.

"I'm sooo sorry." Courtney told her children, scurrying to get plates and eating utensils for them.

"Did tu find Maddie?" Alex asked.

"Yes, she's in cama with your dad." Courtney said, scooping eggs onto the plates.

"Why is she in there?"

"That's not fair!"

"We neva' get to sweep wit daddy." She heard her kids all complain in whining voices.

"If tu want to sleep with daddy, tu can. I never dicho tu couldn't. It's just that tu guys are all older now and would prefer to sleep por yourself. Am I right?" Courtney asked.

"Yes." The twins dicho in unison, sighing.

"I'm not mommy. I only twee!" Dani said, holding up four fingers and awkwardly putting one down.

"And if tu wanted to sleep with daddy tu could, but daddy might like to sleep por himself too." She told Daniel as she began handing out the plates to her children.

"Okay." Daniel dicho as Courtney walked over to the refrigerator to pour her kids some manzana, apple juice.

Courtney and the kids were just finishing up breakfast when she heard two pairs on footsteps coming down the stairs. She rolled her eyes knowing it was Duncan and Maddie.

As she suspected, the pair walked into the cocina smiling as if they did nothing wrong.

"Look who decides to come registrarse us for breakfast." Courtney dicho through her teeth, picking up her and her children's plates from the mesa, tabla and placing them in the sink to begin washing.

"Sorry mom, I was so tired." Maddie apologized.

"Well tu could've at least told me where tu were. I went half crazy searching for you." Courtney said, upset.

"Aww give her a break Court, she had a bad dream so she came to my room and we fell asleep." Duncan interrupted.

Courtney just rolled her eyes.

"Well, what's left is on the stove." She said, as she continued to scrub the dishes clean.

Later

"Alright, we're about to leave." Courtney called out, holding onto her youngest son's hand, him gnawing on his hoodie's string.

Her children came rushing in, showering her with hugs.

"We'll be back around 5 okay, be on your best behavior for your dad please." Courtney told her on looking kids.

"We will." She heard them all reply.

Duncan walked over to Daniel and Courtney, picking him up and giving him a kiss on the forehead before placing him back down siguiente to his mother.

"Love you." Duncan dicho to his small son.

"Wuh' tu too daddy." He replied, flashing his father a grin.

"Love tu guys, be back later." Courtney dicho to them once again before leaving the house.

Courtney pulled up in front of Geoff and Bridgette's house, parallel parking her car and getting out. She took the bmw today since it was just her and Dani. She opened the door to un-strap and remove him from his car seat. He moved around anticipating playing with his favorito! friends, o "cousins" as he was brought up. She locked the doors behind her before walking around back where she heard the kids playing. She let Dani down as he began to fuss, wanting to be freed from her arms. He ran around the back of their huge house where he shrieked upon seeing his dearly missed friends.

"Dani!" She heard the kids yell.

"Hey Court." Bridgette smiled as she stood up to walk over to her best friend.

"Brigetteee." Courtney smiled back, embracing her friend in a hug.

"I've missed you. Haven't seen tu in a good three weeks." Bridgette stated, letting go of her friend and walking back over to her patio.

Her and Courtney took a seat.

"Want some tea?" Bridgette asked.

"Water's fine." Courtney dicho as she watched Bridgette open her screen door and fetch a bottled water from the refrigerator. She handed it to Courtney as she came from out of her house.

"Thanks." Courtney dicho as she looked over to Bridgette's kids and perros running around playfully with Dani.

Bridgette and Geoff had two kids together, Kayden age 4, and Savannah age 3. They both inherited their mom and dad's golden blonde hair of course, but Savannah had Bridgette's esmeralda eyes while Kayden, held his dad's icy blue ones. Kayden's hair stopped at his shoulders, Geoff refusing to allow him to get it cut and Savannah's was down her little back. They had two perros too, Diego and Champ, a black and white Border collie and a Golden Retriever.

Courtney watched as Daniel tried to pull his small body onto the segundo level of Bridgette's kids built-in playground. He struggled for a while now before Savannah came over to him and pushed him up por his butt. Courtney laughed at the scene and pointed over to the kids when Bridgette gave her a weird look.

"Hey, where's Geoff?" Courtney asked.

"Work." Bridgette replied. "He hasn't been inicial since yesterday evening; he's been working overtime." She added.

Courtney nodded, her eyes gazing over to the kids playing.

"So how's everything been?" Bridgette asked.

Courtney gave her the "you wouldn't believe it if I told you" look.

Bridgette's eyes went wide, "Omg, tell me tell me tell me!"

"Okay, okay. But I hope you're ready, it's a mouthful." Courtney warned.

"I'm all ears." Bridgette replied, settling herself comfortably in her chair before Courtney began her story.

"Courtney, tu have a tough time on your hands." Bridgette dicho sympathetically, lightly chuckling at her friend's constant abuse from Duncan.

"You don't even know the half." Courtney dicho rolling her eyes.

"You'll give it up eventually. Believe me, tu could never resist Duncan." Bridgette said, raising an "as if" hand to her friend.

"Ha, when pigs fly! tu know what happened the last time me and Duncan uhh… tu know… we came up with Daniel, so in his dreams!" Courtney said, rolling her eyes at her best friend and laughing.

"Yeah, we'll see." Bridgette said, eyeing Courtney, knowing her all to well.

The two talked for más hours until 5:00 approached them before they even knew it.

"Dani, time to go!" Courtney called out to her son.

"It still amazes me how they can run around wild for hours and not get tired." Bridgette said.

"You're leaving?" Kayden asked Courtney.

"Yes, we have to get back home." She replied.

"Aww." little Savannah pouted.

"Cheer up cutie." Courtney teased, pinching Savannah's white cheeks. Savannah giggled.

"Bye Diego, bye Champ." Courtney dicho to Bridgette's dogs, rubbing her hands through their fur.

They all walked Courtney to her car, giving hugs and kisses.

"Love tu kiddos." Courtney said, strapping herself in.

"Love tu too Aunt Courtney." The kids dicho back, waving to her.

"Text me when tu get in Court." Bridgette told her.

"I will." Courtney said.

"Bye Auntie Bwidge." Dani dicho from the back asiento and waving once again before Courtney pulled off.
