Thunder: Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Still don't own anything.
AN: Enjoy.


"Derek" He heard off in the distance.

He opened his eyes and saw Nora in front of him.
"Oh, hey Nora" He said wiping the sleep out of his eyes with one of his hands, the other secure around Casey who was still asleep next to him.

"We just got in, it's late. Take her upstairs?" She asked softly.

"Sure." He said.

After his body fully woke up he gently picked up Casey's body, bridle style and took her to her room. He softly placed her on the bed. He kissed her forehead and was about to turn and leave when he heard her say" Derrr."

"Yeah case?"

"I can't sleep with the thunder." She said sadly turning over to face him.

He laughed. "You sure about that? You were pretty knocked out down stairs."

"Yeah cause you where there." She said smiling. "Stay?" she asked.

He ran his fingers through his hair. "I can't case." He said. You see Nora and George where okay with them being together, with ground rules of course. And one of those rules where that they had to sleep in there own bedrooms.

"But Derrrrr." She said taking one of his hands into hers, trying to get her way.

He sighed. "Only until you fall asleep, okay?"

She nodded and kissed him. He knew if he stayed on her bed he would fall asleep with her, so he took a seat on the floor, next to her bed and held her hand till she fell asleep.

Casey felt the warmth of the sun coming threw her window. She smiled and opened her eyes. She loved the mornings. She looked over to her nightstand where my alarm clock read "7:00am". Then she felt something in her hand. She looked down and saw she was still loosely holding Derek's hand. Her smile grew when she looked over and saw that he was still there. He was sitting against the side of her bed with one of her teddy bears as a pillow and his arm uncomfortably reaching up to the bed to hold Casey's hand. She gently places his arm back.

"Derrr." She whispered.

He mumbled something along the lines of "Go away"

"Wake up!" She said pushing his shoulder. He finally opened his eyes.

"Case?" He said clearly still sleepy.

"Yeah. Go back to your room and get some sleep Der." She said.

"Oh…okay." he said staring at her door which seemed miles away. He finally got enough strength and walked to the door.

"Case," he said turning and looking at her.

"Yeah?"

"Don't try to wake me up any time before noon." He said before going to his room and collapsing into his bed.

She could only laugh.
