- XOXO Kimiko

"Excuse me, I'm what now!?" Gwen shouted with wide eyes, overwhelmed by what the doctor had just told her and her boyfriend.

The doctor clasped his hands together, "You're pregnant. You should be due in mid December." he explained again.

Gwen was speechless. She was really having Duncan's child? She tried to speak but the words just wouldn't come out, Duncan took it upon himself to speak on behalf of his stunned girlfriend, "Thank you Dr. Cai, is the baby healthy?" he asked.

The doctor nodded, "Based upon the ultrasound everything looks fine, as long as Gwen doesn't consume any alcohol or drugs during her pregnancy the baby should be fine."

There was suddenly a loud thumping noise behind the men, they turned back to see that Gwen had fainted from the shock.

…

Gwen woke up in a different hospital room than the one she had met Dr. Cai in, she looked around through blurry vision and her eyes caught her boyfriend who was sitting next to her. "What the hell happened?" she asked.

Duncan let out a sigh of relief when he noticed that his girlfriend had awoken, "You fainted cuz the doctor said you were pregnant."

Gwen winced at the memory, she looked down at her stomach and placed her hand on it. She sighed. "I can't believe it…" Gwen loved Duncan more than anyone, she really did, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to have a child yet. At this point in her life it wasn't something she was even considering, they were still young starving artists! They were backpacking around from place to place together, it was always their dream to leave Toronto and lead a more exciting life together. But how were they supposed to raise a child while travelling the Silk Roads of China? Or vandalizing Vladimir Putin's house? Or anything they did?

Duncan's response was not one she expected, "I know! Isn't it incredible!?" He cried with a childish smile plastered on his face. He suddenly hugged Gwen super tight, "I can't believe you're having my baby! We have to think of names for it!"

Gwen was surprised at her boyfriend's reaction to the news, "You're… not mad?" she clarified.

"Mad? Why the hell would I be? We created a life form together!" He cheered.

Gwen sighed and hugged him back, deciding that it was the wrong time to bring up her own worries. She obviously wasn't experienced as a parent and neither was her boyfriend, Gwen grew up with a strained family life, she wasn't very close to her mother and her father passed away when she was little, her brother just straight up annoyed her. Her grandmother was the only family member she was very close with, and she was sick so she wouldn't expect much help from her.

...

When they got back from the hospital Duncan let Gwen go off and do her own thing for awhile, she decided to watch TV in the common room so he stepped into the bedroom they shared and tossed himself back onto the bed. "Fuck…" he whined to himself, "how did this happen?"

He knew they'd have to move out of the home they shared with others, but how would he pay for that? They were sharing a home with Geoff, Bridgette, DJ and his girlfriend Adoline, it was a miracle that everyone could all tolerate each other, but it was a lot better than living with his parents. Duncan, like most felons, had a rough childhood, one wherein his father treated him rather poorly. He was sure that Gwen could be a great mother, like his own mom, but he was always worried that someday he would become like his own father.

Duncan's dad wasn't always a bad person, and there were aspects of his father that he respected even. The man grew up in Singapore and came to Toronto to study law at Osgoode in '91, but after a drunk mistake with a blonde police officer, he had Duncan's 2 older brothers. Not 5 years later that lovely lady was forced to sleep with the man's Japanese step brother, and so Duncan was born. Duncan's father took out his rage on his own son, or rather his nephew., throughout the boy's life. Everything he had done had eventually taken a toll on Duncan's mental health too, which explained why he ended up in juvie so many times.

He never looked that way, but Duncan was actually great with kids. His sister was a whore in her high school years and ended up with 2 sons of her own, and he and Gwen treated his twin nephews well. Maybe I won't be too bad… He thought. Duncan pulled his phone out of his pocket and clicked on his sister's number.

"Took you long enough to admit I exist!" she laughed into the phone.

Duncan scowled, "Hey Mel, I need some help." he admitted.

"What do you want?" She asked.

Duncan breathed a heavy sigh, he never liked his sister's general attitude, she was like Courtney crossed with Heather if he could aliken her to anyone. "Gwen is pregnant. I… I don't know if I can be a good father." he conceded.

"So I'm gonna be an auntie..." She replied, although she wasn't using attitude, her voice was laced with some concern. "Why are you scared? You and Gwen have been in love for a long time, I don't think you'll ever break up."

"It's not that," he told her, "you know we have a shitty dad, I don't wanna be like him and… I don't want my kid to end up like us."

She took a deep breath, clearly she was trying to find the words. "Big bro, listen…" she spoke slowly, "Ryan left me when I got pregnant, and I'm happy that he did, I knew he'd be a shitty father. I would've gotten an abortion but Dad's so goddamn conservative and pro life, he'd never allow it. So Ryan did the right thing for me, but you can't leave Gwen." She paused, "You two so clearly belong together and if a kid would ruin that… insist that she abort the baby, it's better for both of you."

His eyes widened, "Abort the baby!? I can't make that choice for her!" He shouted. Duncan was a bit of a misanthropist, and others seemed to confuse it for misogyny, but he actually supported women's rights more than the average male. If Gwen did want an abortion he'd probably let her get one, but he'd never make her do it.

"Just an option to consider," she replied. "if you need me to I can talk to her, woman to woman." She offered.

Duncan shrugged, "That might be alright, but if you upset her I swear I'll chop your tits off." he replied.

"Deal." And she hung up.

…

Gwen sat in front of the TV with a blanket wrapped around her, DJ had been watching one of those animal documentary shows and she tuned into it. "The cubs are too young to keep up and very soon will perish from hunger. "

She sighed, "DJ, can you change the channel? Or at least switch to Netflix?"

He held the remote away from her, "Oh no, I am NOT watching Halloween 4 with you again! Way too scary!"

It wasn't even a scary movie, it really wasn't. She thought. "That's not what I meant, just... please change it to something that doesn't talk about babies, I don't wanna think about them." She sounded clearly distressed.

DJ gave her a confused look. "Since when do you not like babies?" He asked, obviously trying to do a complex mental calculation upon why Gwen didn't wanna think about babies. DJ had known her since they were 16, and he knew that despite Gwen's intimidating front she actually loved cute things more than a giddy Japanese schoolgirl, you know, the ones wrongly portrayed by North American high school dramas (A/N: at least they're wrong about me).

"Just… give me the damn remote!" Gwen snatched the remote from him and turned on an episode of Golden Bitch, the moment DJ saw blood (which was instantly) he turned away from the TV. Gwen calmed down for a bit, but after the opening sequence it showed the main character drop an object to run to the toilet, and she had dropped a positive pregnancy test. Gwen suddenly began crying.

The others looked at her, "Gwen what's wrong?" asked Bridgette as she put a hand on the goth's shoulder.

DJ did the same and turned off the TV, "I don't watch the show, was the scene supposed to be sad?"

Gwen shook her head as tears fell from her eyes, "Dammit I'm pregnant!" she finally admitted.

The room fell silent until Geoff decided to speak up, "Y-you are? Does Duncan know?"

She cried harder, "Yes he knows and I'm not ready to be a parent!" she shouted. Bridgette hugged her.

Upon hearing cries, Duncan ran downstairs to find the situation, "Gwen!" he shouted and held onto her. "Are you okay?"

Gwen held him back, "How the hell did this happen!?" she asked herself. "I'm gonna fail as a mother! I'm 23 and broke! Gaaaaaaaaah!"

Duncan was actually surprised to find out that his girlfriend was more insecure about having a child than he was, he tried to lighten the mood. "We could always compete in another season of Total Drama." He suggested.

Everyone, including Gwen, tried to hold back laughter at that suggestion, and to no avail, "Absolutely fucking not!" Everyone shouted in unison as they all laughed.

After they all calmed down they went back to the conversation, "Gwen," DJ began, "you'd be a great mama, anyone of us can vouch for that."

Geoff nodded, "Yeah, you're great with kids. My youngest brother talks about you all the time!" He confirmed, "He really reminds me of the Codester."

Man, I haven't been jealous of a 10 year old since I was that age. Duncan thought, "And you're great with my nephews, even though they're little shits! Uh… Please don't tell my sister I said that." He admitted.

Adoline chimed in, "And you're somehow okay with people who act like kids.*Cough cough!* Courtney. *cough!*"

Nobody liked Courtney Mirza, not one bit. After Total Drama she tried to get Gwen to fake date her so that she could get a scholarship at McMaster, yes, because apparently you would get one if you were a social minority. Obviously, the goth said no, but the bitch wouldn't take no for an answer and attacked her. Even though he was her ex at the time, Duncan stood with Gwen when Courtney harassed her, and he revealed the full truth about Courtney to the world. No university in their right mind would take her after that, not even for a useless gender studies degree.

Gwen sighed, "I don't know…" she gripped the blanket tighter.

Duncan put a hand on her cheek, "Listen to me Gwen," he looked into her obsidian eyes, "it's up to you if you want to have the baby or not. I'm not gonna stop you from doing what you think is best, just give it some time to think." He spoke softly with a serious tone and a stern look. "I'm not trying to be selfish and leave it all up to you, but I'll support your decision no matter what it is." he promised.

She hugged him. "Alright…" she replied. "I'll think about it."

One of the things that she loved about Duncan was his dedication and loyalty, it really shined through when it came to their relationship. He was on a reasonable level as far as it all went, unlike Trent he never threw challenges for her during Total Drama because he knew not to underestimate her. He could tell when something was really wrong, when Gwen was feeling vulnerable, he always did his best to help her. Gwen would always try to do the same, but she couldn't always sense Duncan's feelings, nobody could. His facades were sometimes impossible to see through, especially when her own emotions had taken over. Right now, this was the case, and she had no idea how scared Duncan was.
