Everyone was at the table eating. Nora made some kind of chicken thing. No one could really tell what it was so Derek being his normal safe said, "What is this?". "It's Spicy Chicken Parmesan." Nora said. "It looks like puke." Marti said. Everyone at the table said Marti?! Except for Derek who was laughing. "It's ok. I think I might have messed up the recipe a bit." Nora said. "A bit? More like a lot." Derek said earning him a slap on the head from George. "What?" he asked. "I'm going to go order some pizza." Nora said and walked into the kitchen.
Derek and Casey sat on the couch and everyone else did there thing while they waited for the pizza to arrive. "So are we going to tell them?" Derek whispered to Casey. "Yeah let's go in there and in the middle of dinner burst out saying Hey guess what? Me and Derek have been secretly dating for 3 months now and I'm going to have his baby! No Derek we are not going to tell them." Casey said as loud as she could whisper. "Ok but they are going to find out soon enough. I just think it would be better to go ahead and tell them than to wait." Derek whispered. "Ok maybe you're right. I guess it would go better if we told them now." Casey whispered but not so soft that Nora couldn't hear her. "Tell who what?" Nora asked coming up behind Casey and Derek."Uh…Well……Mom we need to tell you and George something." Casey said nervously. "I have a feeling it's not good news?" Nora asked. "Not really." Casey replied. "Well in that case let's wait until after dinner." Nora said and Casey and Derek nodded.
After dinner George, Nora, Casey and Derek sat in the living room. Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti had gone to bed. "Alright now. What's up?" Nora asked. Casey looked at Derek and he nodded as to say 'go on I'll help you'. "Mom?" Casey asked. "Yes Casey. Go on." Nora said. "Alright. Here it goes. Well me and Derek have……kind of sort of been dating for three months." Casey said. George and Nora's mouths both dropped to the floor. "What b-but I though you two loathed eachother?" George said. "Not anymore. We realized our fighting was just a way to cover up our feelings for each other. Now Casey would you like to continue or me?" Derek said and asked. "What there's more?" George said shocked. "Yes there is. Derek will you tell them?" Casey said. "Ok. Well……Nora, Dad please don't be mad at Casey or kill me ok?" Derek asked. "Okay Derek now what is it?" Nora said. "Casey's pregnant." Derek said. "WHAT THE HELL? DEREK YOU TWO ARE FREAKING SIXTEEN AND CASEY'S ALREADY PREGNANT?" George screamed. "Yes dad. F.Y.I we love each other and are going to raise this baby like and other couple in there 20's would do." Derek said. "NOT IN MY HOUSE YOU AREN'T!" George said. "What? Y-you are k-kicking us o-out?" Casey studdered. "If you are going to keep this baby then yes." He said. Casey ran upstairs and slammed her door. "NICE GOING DAD. YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE CALLED DAD. I WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DREAM OF KICKING MY SON AND STEP-DAUGHTER OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH A BABY COMING. YOU ASS." Derek yelled and ran up the stairs after Casey.
"Casey. Baby it's me. Open up." Derek said as he knocked on Casey's door. Casey opened the door and Derek sat on her bed hugging her tightly. "Derek now what are we going to do?" she asked. "Well, Casey I love you and even though this baby is not born yet I love it. I'm not going to abandon you or the baby. I will get a job and we can get an apartment. It'll be hard Casey but it'll all be worth it to get to be together and raise a baby. Our very own baby." He said. "Derek I don't want to ruin your life. You have your whole life ahead of you. How are you going to become a professional hockey player with a baby?" Casey said. "Casey, WE made this baby. It's as much my responsibility as it is yours. It will not ruin my life it may set it back a bit but not ruin it. It'll all be fine Casey. I love you." Derek said. "Okay. Thank you so much Derek. I love you too." Casey said and kissed Derek very passionately. "I figure we're going to need to be out of here soon. I'll get Sam to help us find an apartment. Then we will be out of here by tomorrow." Derek said. "Okay." Casey said. Derek picked her up bridal style and carried her into his room and tucked her in. He then got into the bed right beside her and snuggled up to her. He held her tight and within a few moments they both drifted into a peaceful sleep.
The next day Casey and Derek woke up before everyone else. They met up with Sam and began looking for apartments. "Man D. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry." Sam said. "We're going to be ok Sam. I won't let anything happen to your precious Casey whom is now my precious Casey." Derek said. "Stop bragging. Thanks for helping us Sam. You know I still love you." She said and kissed him on the cheek. Sam knew she meant it as a friend and so did Derek. They searched every apartment nearby to Sam's house and finally found one that was pretty nice and that they could afford. It was a one bedroom. They figured they could make due with it. They payed for their first months rents and piled into the prince. They pulled up infront of Sam's house. "Thanks again." Casey said. Sam nodded a your welcome and walked into his house.
Derek drove down the road and saw from the corner of his eyes a tear fall down Casey's cheek. "What's wrong baby?" he asked. "I just wish George and mom weren't like this. It would be so much easier having support from them than being disowned by them." She answered wiping her tear from her cheek. "Hey Babe. It's going to be okay. We're going to do just fine. I called my mom and if for some reason we need her she said she would be on the next flight here." Derek said. "Okay. Thanks." Casey said as she grasped Derek's hands in her own.
They arrived home and immediately began packing there things. Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti didn't know what was happening. Casey and Derek packed all of their stuff and began loading the prince up. "Bye George." Derek said sternly as he walked out with the last of his baggage. "We'll be back to get the furniture tomorrow." He added then him and Casey got into the car and drove to their new home.
