A full moon.

There was that thing, you know, how people say that when there's a full moon that means somebody is having a baby? And Derek was 26 and wasn't dumb. He knew that people have babies all the time. But if he saw a full moon it immediately made him think that one of the pregnant women that he knew was having her baby. So when he saw the full moon outside of the window, he abruptly thought... Casey. He practically yanked his packages outside of the check-out girl's hand, ignoring the shocked look on her face. He shoved the bags in the trunk of his car and raced home. He reached home in about 10 minutes considering he was going at least 10 miles over the speed limit. He had originally left the store thinking it was just a possibility, but by the time he reached home he was 100% convinced.

"Casey!" he said rushing through the door. "Just keep breathing." He said barely registering that he saw Casey on the couch in his peripheral vision. He ran upstairs to get her hospital bag and was surprised when he went downstairs and saw Casey sitting on the couch, indulging in her top craving. A pickle and a chip, together, at the same time.

"Casey?! What are you doing? Why aren't you ready?!?!"

"Honey, what are you talking about? Are you okay?"

"I-I saw a full moon, and I just thought-"

Casey laughed, "Aww, honey. Come here." She said opening her arms. He sat down on the couch and leaned his head on her shoulder, while she ruffled his hair.

"You know that I would call you immediately if I was going in to labor. The baby's not due for 3 weeks. I'm fine."

He nodded and she kissed him. Then she peered into his bags.

"So... what'd you bring me?"

The Next Day

"Sweetie!" Casey said calling out to Derek. "You know how Emily got pregnant around the same time I did? She had her baby last night!"

Derek smirked. "I told you the full moon counted for something!

A/N: It took me forever to think of something for moon! But yeah, that's what I always had thought of when I saw a full moon. It's just one of those old wives' tales. Oh, and the whole "pickle and chip together at the same time" thing, that was my mom's top craving. So it's not just random or anything, it has basis. Review please! Reviews=love!
