Chapter two

DEREK

For a moment all Derek sees is darkness, he feels nothing, hears nothing. He has no idea how long he has been unconscious he only knows that when he starts to come out of it he hears loud painful sobs.

He finally opens his eyes and sees that he's on the floor of his dorm and Casey is hovering over him touching his face and smoothing his hair.

"Derek, are you alright?" Casey whispers. Derek tries to focus on her eyes, they are still red a puffy but they are no longer brimming with tears. "Here, let me help you sit up."

Casey takes his hand and puts her other hand behind his shoulder and pulls him up and helps him sit on his bed again.

Derek didn't speak for a few minutes, Pregnant? How could she be pregnant? We've always been so careful. Derek's eyes widen at a sudden memory- on one particular evening a few weeks back they had gone back to her room and things had gotten heated, it was his idea that it would be ok if they continued without protection.

"It's my fault," Derek murmurs. "Derek, I could have put up more of a fight that night then I did." Casey says still caressing his hair with a slight laugh to her tone. "What are we going to do?" Derek asks. Casey puts both of her hands in her lap and looks at the floor. "I don't know," she breathed. Derek turned to look at her, "Do you want to keep it?" he asked searching her blue eyes, she looked absolutely terrified. Derek suddenly felt sad that she might say no.

"I can't just get rid of it, Derek!" Casey said raising her voice and standing up. Derek quickly grabbed her hands and brought her back to sit next to him and pulling her into a hug. "I'm sorry," he said into her hair. "I didn't meant to upset you." He pulled back to look at her, her eyes were starting to tear up again, but she didn't look sad anymore, she almost looked determined.

"I can't get rid of it Derek, I'll never be able to live with myself. And I don't think I could bear the idea of knowing that this baby was somewhere out there being loved and cared for by someone else, it won't even know who we are if we give it up Derek." Derek stared at her for a moment, He was scared out of his mind but seeing Casey act so calm now settled him so he could actually think for a moment.

Derek knew a few things at the moment- One, he was already in love with Casey, and he couldn't deny it anymore. Two- He knew that she was it for him, he saw his future with her. Three- This baby, although a rather sudden surprise, was the best news he had ever gotten. You know after he regained consciousness. If he was going to have a kid with someone he had always hoped it would be Casey.

"Will you please tell me what you're thinking?" Casey begged. Derek took a deep breath and tried to search for the right words. "I think we should keep it," He said, Casey gave him a quizzical look. "I'm serious, we could go to school closer to home. I'm sure Dad and Nora are going to be pissed, but there's really nothing they can do. I can get a job, and we can find a place to live," Casey cut him off. "Are you ok? You're starting to scare me." She said touching his forehead to check his temperature. "What do you mean?" He asked as Casey dropped her hands back into her lap. "I really wasn't expecting this reaction," She said fiddling with her fingers. "Casey, you're having my baby, how else am I supposed to act?" He said taking her hand. "Not like this, we just started our first year of college. You're Derek Venturi, you don't like commitment, and whatever this is we have going on is the longest "Relationship" you've been in." She said using air quotes to emphasize the word 'relationship.' She looked him in the eyes, "Derek, I can't do this unless I can count on you. I want this baby, I need to know you'll be there if I keep it." Derek took her face in his hands and lightly kissed her lips.

"Where else could I be?"

CASEY

Casey stayed with Derek for the rest of the evening just letting him hold her, the only time either of them spoke was when Derek would whisper "We're going to be ok," in her ear. There wasn't any need for words, their minds were already made up.

Derek lent Casey an old shirt and a pair of shorts to sleep in, he said he didn't want to spend another night away from her again. Casey was comforted by the way he was acting. She made herself sick with worry before she got up the nerve to tell him.

Casey knew something was wrong for a few days, she was NEVER late, her boobs were sore and she was getting headaches every day, and she was so tired. She finally got the nerve to tell Emily after her last class. Emily just hugged her and took her to the drug store to buy a test.

"It's positive," Casey said, she slumped down on her bed and started to cry. Emily sat next to her and wrapped her in a tight embrace. "What am I going to do Emily?" "You need to tell him, Case." Casey stood up and began pacing her room. "Yeah that's going to go over well, 'Hey Derek, I know we've been sleeping together for six months and outside of the bedroom you've showed about zero interest in me, but I just thought you should know I'm pregnant and it's yours'? He is going to flip, he'll probably tell me to get rid of it and never speak to me again." Casey said waving her arms dramatically as she spoke.

"Casey do you really think Derek is going to behave that way?" Emily said watching her from her seat on the bed. "Yes, no. I don't know." Casey said sitting on the floor. "You need to tell him Casey, he has a right to know." Emily said getting up and sitting next to her on the floor. "I don't even know what I want to do yet." "I know, but this is a choice you need to make together." Casey sighed. "I know Em, I know. I just don't know if I can handle it if he gets mad at me, I think I love him Emily." Emily starts to laugh, "This situation isn't very funny Davis," Casey said shooting a glare at her best friend. "I know it's not, but Casey, everyone knows you are into Derek, and he's into you. You guys are just too dumb to see it."

By the time Casey woke up in the morning Derek was already on the phone with their parents, "Ok Nora, yeah, we'll see you this weekend." Case felt her stomach tighten, she knew that they had to tell her parents, but she was scared. She hated knowing that she was going to disappoint her mother and George. Derek seen her sit up and she thought she seen his face brighten when he noticed her, but she just thought that she was still sleepy.

Derek sat next to her on the bed, "Hey, how you feeling?" He asked kissing her forehead and then taking her hand in his. Casey tried not to blush, "Alright I guess. So we're going home this weekend?" "Is that alright? I figure we should tell them as soon as we can," Casey squeezed his hand and shook her head. "No, no, it's fine. I'm just scared that's all," Derek gave her a weak smile, "Me too," He leaned down and kissed on the lips. "I've got to let Sam know that we're leaving tomorrow, I told him and the guys that I would play hockey this weekend. Do you, uh, mind if I tell him the other news?" Derek said pointing at her abdomen. Casey smiled, "No, its fine, Emily knows." Derek laughed, "Which means Sam knows too," they both chuckled.

Casey wrapped her arms around Derek, "Thank you," she said into the crook of his neck, "For what?" Derek snickered. "For everything." Casey said hoping that he would understand the full extent of what she said. She wasn't just thanking him for being there, the more she thought about it she realized that she was thankful for this baby he had given her, and the kindness he was showing her.

Derek pulled away and looked her in her eyes, Casey was surprised to see that his eyes held so much love…? In them, love, huh. That was new. "Casey, I'm not going anywhere." He said touching her cheek, she nodded her head. "Well, Space Case," Derek said violently messing up her hair, "I gotta get out of here," He slipped his shoes on, Casey didn't think she would be so happy to have him mess with her again. They really were going to be ok, weren't they? Derek turned back to her and gave her a quick kiss and pulled her into a tight hug. "I shouldn't be gone long, you should go pack, and I'll meet you in your room in a few hours."

DEREK

After one last look at Casey from the door Derek left to meet up with Sam at the deli down the street. His mind was abuzz with thoughts and visions of the future, he saw himself teaching his son how to play hockey; and keeping boys like him the hell away from his daughter. He chuckled as that song 'Cleaning this gun' by Rodney Atkins came to mind.

Both at the age of 19 Derek knew they were young, but he knew they could do this, he loved Casey enough to go through anything.

Sam was sitting at a table outside when Derek rounded the corner to the deli, Sam gave him a knowing smile as he sat down. "Alright," Derek sighed, "tell me what you know and I'll fill in the blanks." "Well, I knew you and Casey were messing around, I just figured you were all talk. But now we have proof!" Sam said lightly slugging Derek's arm. "Thanks for your enthusiasm, Sammy." Derek said rubbing his hand over the spot Sam hit him.

"I think its good you know? This might be what you needed to get your shit straight," Sam said taking a bite of his bagel, "'Get my shit straight,' what do you mean?" Derek inquired sounding a little defensive, Sam help up his hands silently asking Derek to wait. "We both know you've had feelings for Casey since you beat the crap out of Truman for kissing her cousin at that party, all I'm saying is now that you're in this situation and you know she wants to stick around with you there's really no reason why you can't just tell her." Derek shook his head, "Having sex with someone and accidently getting pregnant doesn't mean she feels the same way I do, Sam. We just sort of fell into this; I spent so many years terrorizing her that I can't believe that she actually lets me even touch her, let alone sleep with her." Sam laughed but Derek choose to ignore him and continue. "The only time the subject of us being together comes up is when we make plans to hook up." Derek said looking down at the table, he wasn't used to sharing this much about himself, even with his best friend.

"You guys really are that naïve aren't you? Do you really think that Casey is the kind of girl that just lets anybody sleep with her? We were together for 4 months and that wasn't even on the horizon for us, not for my lack of trying of course." Derek shot Sam a murderous glare. "But, I mean think about it D, do you really think Casey has that little self-respect that she would fool around with someone she thought hated her? You've got to know she likes you too," Sam said, his eyes pleading with Derek.

"I like to think she does sometimes," Derek said snatching half of Sam's bagel, "She has a way of looking at me sometimes that I don't understand, almost like she's amazed that I'm there with her. I gotta say, I like it when she looks at me that way," "Ah," Sam said exaggerating the word, "Will you please just tell her you love her already!"

CASEY

They wake up early Friday morning to start the 4 hour drive home, Derek helps her with her bag, he won't let her carrying anything at all in in fact. "Derek, I'm not going to break if I carry a small bag of clothes. You need to relax," Casey says climbing into the car. "Yeah, yeah, you're woman hear you roar." Derek said kissing her hand. "Ready?" he asks turning the car on, "As much as I'll ever be,"

They have been driving for about an hour when Derek squeezes her hand, "Why don't you try and rest, we still have a few hours." Casey smiled, "I'm not really tired Derek," she said. "I was doing some reading before we went to bed last night, this website said that because of all the changes going on you'll most likely experience extra fatigue and morning sickness, do you, uh, do you feel alright?" He said looking at her from the corner of his eye. Casey blushed, Derek reading up on pregnancy? What has gotten into this boy? "I'll be just find as long as you keep me away from pizza," Casey said remembering the night before she found out she was pregnant, Derek had ordered a pizza and she threw up at soon as she smelled it. "Wait a minute!" Derek said dropping her hand and startling her, "Whose baby do you have in there? No kid of mine would not love pizza," Derek said with mock rage, "Oh hush," Casey said. Derek took her hand again and pressed a small kiss to the inside of her wrist. "I'm just kidding, as long as he can enjoy spaghetti I will no longer question if that baby is mine," "'He' huh?" Casey said lightly, "Of course, Casey it's a proven scientific fact that us Venturi's have boys first, for 6 generations the first born has always been a boy. Don't fight it, it's true." "Well, what if it's a girl?" Casey stubbornly asked. Derek put a finer to her lips, "Shh, sleep now. No more talkie. It's a boy, deal with it." He said pinching her cheek.

Casey had fallen asleep about an hour before they got home, Derek pulled into the driveway and killed the engine. He looked over at her and watched her sleep for a few minutes before reaching out and touching her cheek, her eyes fluttered a bit but stayed closed. Derek leaned over his seat and kissed her temple, waking up to the feeling of Derek's lips on her head she looked at him and smiled, "We're here," Derek said running his fingers through her hair, "we better go in." Casey nodded and opened her door.

Casey was about to open the door when it flew open revealing her mother on the other side. Nora literally scooped her off the ground and tightly squeezed her. "Can't. Breathe. Mom." Casey said patting her mom's back. "Sorry," Nora said setting her back on the porch. "Oh, I've missed you!" her mother said bringing her in for a less vise like grip hug. "Yeah, I've missed you too." Her mother finally let her go and was moving on to Derek, who put his hands out in front of him to ward off the oncoming hug, Nora scoffed and enveloped him into a hug anyway.

"Well you guys are just in time, we were just about to eat lunch, the kids are already at the table, Marti went over to the Davis' to play she should be home before dinner." Derek and Casey took off their coats and headed to the dining room. George was at the head of the table picking at the food on his plate. Casey looked down at Edwin who was stuffing his face with, Oh no, Casey thought, they were eating pizza. "I'm just going to uh, I'm not in the mood," Casey said backing away from the dining room, but it was too late she had already smelled it, she looked over at Derek who's eyes had widened when he made the connection to her reaction to what was being served. "I'll, um, excuse me." Casey said clamping a hand over her mouth and running up the stairs to the bathroom and barely making it before the vomiting started. Everyone at the table looked confused. "I'll, um, I'll go see how she's doing." Derek said running up to the bathroom, he heard the faucet running so he decided to wait for her to come out.

When the door opened Casey's face was pale and shiny with sweat, Derek still thought she was beautiful. "Oh honey," he said with pity in his voice. Casey rolled her eyes at him. "Why don't you go lay down, I'll tell them you're sick from the drive and we'll get something to eat later, ok?" Casey nodded and walked over to Derek burying her face into her shirt. "It's going to be fine Casey," Derek said smoothing her hair down. Casey looked up at him, "I know," she said kissing his cheek. "Ugh, Casey, vomit, please." He said slightly pushing her into her room, he winked at her before he closed the door.

Casey work up about an hour later and headed down stairs, Edwin and Lizzie where nowhere in sight. Her mom and George were sitting on the couch watching a movie while Derek was pretending to be paying attention, upon seeing her Derek sat up in his chair, "You ok?" he asked ignoring the questioning glances from their parents. Casey nodded her head and turned to the adults. "Uh, mom… George; Derek and I need to talk to you," "What is it sweetheart?" Casey sat on the edge of Derek's chair and he wrapped his arm around her waist, George and Nora noticed but didn't say anything.

"Well uh," Casey said glancing over to Derek. "Casey and I have been seeing each other." Derek blurted out. George's eyes were bugging out of his head and Nora gasped. Both Derek and Casey winced ready for the yelling to start, but it didn't. They opened their eyes and studied their parents. "Well, uh, how long has this been going on?" George and Nora asked at the same time. "Six months," Casey admitted. "Six months! Casey, why didn't you tell me?" Nora said. Casey looked down to her belly. Tell them. She pleaded with herself. "There's uh, more," Casey said meeting her mother's puzzled gaze. "What," Nora laughed, "Are you pregnant too?" When Casey just looked at her mother guiltily Nora promptly fainted.
