Casey's POV

I watched as the trees whizzed by from the passenger seat of the black 2008 Dodge Charger where I was sitting. Slowly, my eyes started to close but I was jolted back to the real world when I felt a soft kick under my hand. "Lucas, why did you have to wake up now?" I whispered to my round belly.

"My son acting up again," Derek asked from the driver's seat looking over at me just for a second. I nodded as I took his hand and put it where his tiny feet were making imprints through my skin and the tank top I was wearing. Derek smiled, never getting tired of feeling his first born kick.

Softly he took my hand in his and kissed my ring finger, exactly where the wedding ring he put on not a month earlier lay. I smile and look up at him, thinking about all the bumps we had to go through. "Sleep my love, you must be exhausted," Derek said putting my hand back on my belly and turning on the lullaby CD we had gotten from our parents at the baby shower. Slowly, I started to feel the kicking go down till I couldn't feel it at all. Closing my eyes, I start to drift off to the past…

1 ½ Years Ago

"Mom, dad, we have something to tell you," I said as Derek and I sat across from our parents one night when the three little ones had already gone to sleep. "What is it," Nora questioned, obviously worried. "As you know, me and Casey have been dating," Derek jumped in. Nora and George looked at each other and nodded, remembering that talk just a half a year ago. "Well," I started as their looks intensified. "I'm pregnant," I whisper looking down at where Derek was holding my hand under the table. Silence. I looked up; mom got up and walked over to me. I stood up. We embraced as we both cried into each other's shoulders.

After the hardest part was done, we all sat back down. "You two aren't even out of high school yet," George said. "We figured it out though; if we decide to keep the baby, we will graduate before he, or she, is born," Derek said looking at our parents carefully, watching for signs of anger. George nodded. "You'll have to get an after school job," Nora said to me. I nodded. "I know you two can do it, especially you Derek, with all the help with Marti you gave me," George said. "We'll help in whatever way we can," Nora said. I jumped up and hugged both of them. "Don't let us down."

Derek POV

Staring at this road is killing my eyes. Looking at the clock, I realize the cruise has been on for a little over three hours. A sigh escapes my lips as I look over at my new wife. She was peacefully sleeping with her hand lying over her stomach, protecting the life growing within. A smile spreads across my face as I look back to the road and start to daydream…

Year and a couple months ago

"DEREK," I hear from downstairs…it's Casey. I jump up from my computer desk where I'm working on homework and fly down the stairs, skipping a couple on the way down. Casey was bent over, a trickle of blood running down the inside of her leg. I ran over to her. "Baby, what's wrong?" I ask, already dreading the answer. "I need to go to the hospital," she gasped out. I grabbed my keys and cell off the counter and started to walk her to the car. I lay her in the backseat and drive off. Listening to her crying in the backseat was murder but thinking about what was happening was worse.

Through the sliding glass doors, left in the waiting room, finally called in. I walked into the white room to see the love of my life in a skimpy hospital gown curled up in a ball on the adjustable bed. I crawled in bed next to her, letting her curl up against me as we both cried, holding onto each other. Finally, she fell asleep. Thoughts kept running through my head. 'She was only 2 months.' 'No known cause.' 'Miscarriage.'

"Hey, you ok?" I hear from the passenger seat. I look over to see her beautiful brownish green eyes looking at me with worry. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just daydreaming I guess," I say smiling.
