A/N: Sorry this chapter is pretty short, but I kinda wanted to put emphasis on Derek's Dream, and Caseys Reaction. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own life with derek.


Casey awoke to Derek mumbleing in his sleep whitch he often did. This time the mumbleing was less intense so he must have been haveing a good dream. She looked at her clock on her night table. 5:45am. She heard Derek's mumbleing get a little softer. This morning for some reason, she was curious about what he was saying. What he was dreaming.

She slowly crawled out of bed. She opened her door trying not to make it squeek. No such luck. Squueeekkk...Snap, I hope no one heard. From what she could tell the lights were still out downstairs. No one was up yet. Dereks door was actually half open for once. He must have been to tired to shut it last night, Casey thought. She crept in and saw Derek on his back. She waited to see if he would start again...nothing. Oh well. Suddenly Derek started talking softly. "No no...do not go...stay...I love you..." Oh great I am in here listening to Derek talk about some girl. I am leaveing. Her mind told her to leave, but her curiosity told her to stay a little bit longer. Maybe she could get a name to black mail him or something. It might come in handy.

Again Derek started to start sleep talk. "Your eyes...pretty blue...perfect in every way. I adore your chocolate brown hair. Your skin is flawless. Your smile, extrodanary". That's weird...no it could never be...naw...I am leaveing now. This is an invasion of privacy. Derek or not. She was half way out the door, almost afraid of what she might hear, when she heard Derek's voice softly say: "Casey." She turned around slowly thinking she was busted for listening but as she entered again, she realized he was still asleep. Did he just say what I think he said? As if almost on que Derek confirmed it for her: "Casey you are the one."

Casey suddenly needed to leave. Now. She needed to process this. She walked to the door and but her foot hit the door. Hard. Ow ow ow ow. She limped a couple steps so she was just outside the door. Suddenly she saw Nora standing next to her. "What were you doing in Derek's room?" She raised her eyes suggestivly. "Oh, um, nothing, I just needed to barrow something and and I thought I heard, and I...gotta go."

Casey ran an awkward run to her room since she was half limping. She sat down on her bed and looked at the clock. 5:58am. Wow I almost stayed in Derek's room for 10 minuettes. I do not think I have ever done that. Suddenly she remembered what Derek said. She ran to her computer and put up her Diary Software. She opened to her Derek Folder. There was lots in that. She started typeing like crazy, not worrying about a couple spelling errors even though she normally would:

I can not beleive what Derek said!! Could he really...love me? I mean we fight all the time. Emily did warn me about this. She said she could not beleive that we do not love eachoter. At the time I thought this was crazy. But maybe there is something there. I mean we are not blood related. He is nice looking. Wait, no ok, Two words: step brother. But...I do not know what to think anymore and now I am slurring on here. I just need to collect my thoughts for awhile. OH NO. I have to rake leaves with Derek in 1 hour! That is ok. That is ok. I will just act natural. No problem with that. I think.
