## Background

### 1970 - 1988: Duncan Harris

Duncan Harris the youngest of the Harris siblings along with his twin sister Antonia. He was always closest to her, as she was the main one who didn't look to him as a mistake. As his oldest brother Tre was seen as the golden child, the two were considered polar opposites. However, the two were quite close & Duncan looked up to him a lot. As for his other brother Rodney, the two did not get along well at all. Rodney would torment Duncan & constantly embarrass him in any way he could. With his sister Jamie, the two did not always speak much in their youth but always had each other's back. She believed she could always give him a hard time but no one else could.

Since he was born, Duncan has been labeled the bad boy. While his mother always took the softer approach & tried to talk to Duncan, his cop father believed in a good scolding & punishment. Duncan & his father did not along too well but when his father was killed in the line of duty when he was fifteen, things changed for him. When his father died, the family struggled to make ends meet as his mother was now putting five kids though school on her own. After trying to stay afloat for months, Duncan's mom could no longer afford to pay for their house. The family moved in with the Tides family, who were very close family friends of theirs. Duncan ended up sharing a room with Zack Tides, who was already Duncan's closest friend & essentially his brother.

The family remained there for a year before their mom was able to get a three bedroom condo for the family. Duncan was given his own room while his sisters shared a room together. Whenever Tre or Rodney were home from college, one would share the room with Duncan & the other would take the couch.

While living at the Tides house, Duncan became friends with the school's residential uptight student Courtney Harris. Their best friends, Geoff & Bridgette, had begun dating & forced them to be friends so that they were not left out. In simple terms, Duncan & Courtney hated each other. He felt that she had a permanent stick up her ass & she believed he existed for the sole purpose of not listening to anyone. But underneath all that distaste was desire. After a year of bickering & yelling, the two eventually broke each other down & began dating to everyone's shock.

### 1988 - 1995: Duncan Harris

Duncan & Courtney had their issues but nothing too serious as the two couldn't stand being apart. The relationship continued after high school, with Courtney attending UCLA & Duncan going to Loyola Marymount. To make things easier on his mom, Duncan bought himself a townhouse when he was 20 using the money he saved up from the auto shop he had been working at for the last five years. Courtney essentially moved in with him & barely even stayed at her dorm. Three months after he graduated, Courtney found out she was pregnant with their child. Duncan’s mom was ecstatic, mostly because she knew Courtney would be in his life forever & felt that she was a good influence on Duncan. Courtney's parents did not feel the same & disowned her for not getting an abortion. Lucky for Courtney, she had a huge trust fund from her wealthy grandparents to help out her & Duncan with the baby. After a stressful nine months, Courtney gave birth to their daughter Devin.

It was difficult for them as young parents with Duncan working & Courtney still attending school. Duncan's mother helped out as much as she could & Mrs. Tides even watched after her as well. Things were going well until they weren't. Just some months before Devin's first birthday, a drunken Gwen Baker arrived at their townhouse. Courtney opened the door to her surprise to see the girl she did not much care for in high school. Gwen confessed that Duncan had cheated on Courtney years ago & that she still felt guilty about the encounter. Courtney went ballistic to say the least. Duncan confessed & tried to tell her it was long time ago but she wouldn’t budge. She tried to leave with Devin but Duncan wouldn’t let her since she didn’t know where she was going. The next morning when she came back, Duncan told her he was moving back in with his mom & she could keep the place. He tried to get back with her multiple times after but she would not budge.

A couple of months later, Duncan ended up having drunk sex with his good friend Elise Gin. They began hooking up consistently, essentially becoming friends with benefits. The "relationship" only lasted for two months before Duncan got back with Courtney. Things would have worked out fine but Lizzie discovered she was pregnant. Lizzie was unsure about keeping the baby but Courtney even encouraged to her have the children. Lizzie eventually gave birth to twins, Dominic & Caroline.
