Hey everyone! I hope you had a good Christmas/.New Year. I'm sorry I haven't updated. I got nothing else to say so lets continue with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Life With Derek...no matter how much I wish I did.


Chapter 7:

(Casey's memory- about a year ago)

"I'm home!" Casey yelled as she walked in the front door and slammed the door.

"Oh Casey, you're home. How was your date?" Nora asked

"Eh. The guy wasn't very interesting. He kept talking about soccer. It was so boring."

"What was his name again?" Nora asked

"Uh, it was like Mike or something. I think I'll go upstairs and finish my homework and then go to bed."

"Kay, night hon." Her mom said

"Night." Casey said as she ran up the steps and went into her room.

Casey then sat down at her desk and tried to do her homework. She couldn't concentrate though. She was still so sad. She had dumped Sam 3 weeks ago when she found out that he was cheating on her.

"Ug. I really don't want to do this homework." She said to herself.

"Then don't." a voice said.

Casey turned around and saw Derek standing in her doorway.

"What do you want Derek?"

"I just wanted to know how your date went with today's boytoy." he said

"Boytoy? What's that supposed to mean?" Casey asked getting annoyed

"You know what it means. You have gone out with a different guy every night since you found out about Sam. That even beats my record you know. Why are you doing it anyway?"

"Who I go out with is none of your business." she said turning back toward her homework

Derek was silent for a few minutes so Casey thought he left until he said.

"Dating a different guy every night isn't going to help you get over him."

"That's not what I'm doing." Casey said

"Oh? Then what are you doing?'

"Well, im...i..um" Casey said as she put her head in her hands.

"What am I supposed to do Derek? Please tell me because I obviously don't know."

'Casey, Sam's a jerk. He didn't deserve you. You're way better than him." Derek said as he went to sit beside her.

"Yeah right..." Casey said

"Really. You're so smart and kind and beautiful. You're perfect."

Casey looked at Derek expecting to see him smirking but instead he had a very serious expression on his face.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because I...Well I love you." Derek said taking hold of one of her hands

Casey just looked at him with an shocked expression on her face.

After 2 minutes Derek said "Casey can you say something? I sort of fell stupid."

"I,I,I can't deal with this right now." she said

"Okay I just let you..um.yeah" Derek said quickly as he got up and left.

2 and a half weeks later...

Ever since Derek had confessed his feelings to Casey, things had been awkward between them. They didn't speak at all except for things like "Can you pass the peas?"

Though Casey began noticing the little things he did. Like how he played with Marti and how attentive he was to her. How he encouraged Lizzie in the sports she did. And how he joked with Edwin.

With every day she began to realize more and more that she had feelings for Derek.

One night Casey was in her bed thinking about Derek when she heard him turn his music on loud.

'I might as well go talk to him now. I need to talk to him." Casey thought as she got out of bed and bed to Derek's door and knocked softly.

The door immediately opened.

"Hi..." Derek said looking confused

"Can I talk to you?" Casey asked

"Sure, common in." Derek said as he open the door wider and granted her access

Derek closed the door and turned to Casey and said "What do you want to talk about?"

"I've been thinking these couple of weeks about what you said to me and I came to a realization."

"What?" Derek said as he took a step closer to Casey.

"I... I realized that I... Gosh this is hard to say. I lo-." Derek at this point had taken Casey by the shoulders and kissed her.

As soon as Derek released her he said. "You were saying...?"

Casey looked into his eyes and said. "Derek I love you."

Derek smirked. "About time."

Then he kissed her again.

2 months later...

"What does it say?" Derek asked as he went up behind Casey and looked over her shoulders.

"Its positive." Casey said.

"Oh"

"What are we going to do? How are we going to tell are parents. They don't even know about us yet, how will they take my being pregnant?" Casey said to Derek with tears in her eyes.

"Everything will be fine. We'll figure out how to tell them. They can't be that mad, after all we are giving them a grandchild." he said.

"Oh yeah they'll be so excited." Casey said sarcastically

"Hey, lets look on the bright side, we're gong to have a handsome hockey-playing boy."

"How do you know it's going to be a boy?" Casey asked with a smile on her face.

"I just do."

"Okay, we're going to get through this. As long as you're by my side I'll be fine."Casey said

"Always." Derek said as he kissed her forehead

Present.

As soon as Casey stopped remembering she looked up at Derek.

Derek was looking fondly at the baby.

"Derek."

Derek looked up at Casey who he noticed was crying.

"What?"

"I love you."

Derek looked at her with his same old smirk and said "About time."
