Derek - The Doctors
Derek pulled the Prince out of the motels lot. Casey squirmed in the seat beside him. By her body language he could tell that she was nervous. Every time he looked over to her, Casey's eyes would dart around the car. Her hands were clenched into fists on her lap. Still, Derek took a moment to admire her beauty.
"Hey. Calm down princess. Everything is going to be ok. He said reaching his arm over to cup a hand over hers.
"I know. It's just..." She began but stopped. Derek stopped for a red light and glanced at her.
"I'm sort of nervous to go alone." Casey whispered. He looked over at her and smirked. The words 'HINT' were scrawled across her face.
"Would you like me to go with you?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
Casey waited until the car began to move to answer, "Thank you." Casey sounded exhausted.
It wasn't too long before they had arrived at the doctor's office. Derek took a seat and watched Casey at the front desk. He loved how shy she looked, it made her even more beautiful than she was. When she scurried back to Derek, he couldn't help but stare at her. The night before had been the best nights sleep he'd had in years. He remembered the feeling of Casey draped across his body. He glanced over at her and smirked.
"You look terrified." He joked.
"I am." Casey replied.
"Case come on. I'm here with you. I promise you'll be fine!" She smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek.
He felt his cheeks get hot but rationalized that boys do not blush. Every time the nurse would walk out to call a patient Casey would squeeze his hand. Finally after forty-five minutes of waiting they had finally called her name. Derek stayed seated not knowing how far Casey wanted him to follow. When she noticed this she turned back and grabbed his arm, yanking him up.
They were seated in a small room covered in white. Casey pulled back the curtain to change in to the hospital gown they had given her. When she emerged and sat down on the bed, Derek began to admire her again. He noted how her hair fell in all the right places, how blue her eyes looked surrounded by all the white.
The doctor entered, Derek noted his had tan skin and brown eyes similar to Derek's. He wore a white lab coat that seemed to match the room. Derek felt uncomfortable how Casey was ogling the doctor. Derek thought he was nearly blinded when the man smiled at her. Derek looked between the two as the doctor stuck out his hand to Casey.
"I'm Dr. Lautner. It's nice to meet you Casey." She nodded at him.
"You look nervous." The doctor stated.
"I'm terrified. This is my first official visit being pregnant. I have no clue how these things go. It's not like me too not research these things first!" She started to panic.
"Casey. It's alright." Derek finally spoke.
He stood up and went over to her, grabbing her hand. She looked into his eyes and smiled at him.
"Right." She said looking at the doctor.
"This must be the father. It's nice to meet you." Dr. Lautner stuck his hand out to Derek.
Derek started to choke on his spit.
"Oh no. Derek is just a really good friend. Not the father." She said glancing at him.
"I see. Now we require a pelvic examination for all pregnant women. You know? Just to check to make sure everything is working properly. Will Derek be joining us today? Generally we only allow fathers... but really it's your call here." The doctor said.
Derek stood up quickly at hearing this.
"I'll just wait outside until this part is over." Derek stated walking over to the door.
"Would you like to be here for the ultrasound?" Dr. Lautner questioned.
"Definitely if Casey wants me too." He smiled at her before exited the room.
He leaned against the hospital wall and closed his eyes. Derek started thinking what it would have been like if he where the father of this baby. He smirked a little bit but then realized she had never felt that way with him.
The doctor came out a few moments later.
"Alright Derek we're all done in here. Are you ready?" Dr. Lautner questioned.
"Yup." Derek said walking into the room.
Casey laid on the bed and smiled up at Derek. Her stomach was uncovered. A nurse he hadn't seen enter put a gel on her stomach. He glanced at the monitor the moment she turned her head.
"Look! Right there. You see?" The nurse said in a squeaky voice.
At first he couldn't quite make it out. It seemed so small, he'd never seen an ultrasound before. He glanced over to Casey. Her eyes started to water. She raised a hand to her mouth.
"Oh my gosh." Casey whispered.
"It's really beautiful isn't it?" The nurse said, her eyes seemed to water as well.
"It really is." Derek whispered.
Casey – The apartment – 1 week later
Casey stood in the middle of her new living room. 'Well old really... New to me!' Casey thought. She glanced around the room. The old violet wall paper was beginning to peel in a few places at the top of the room. 'I could fix that with a little nail glue...' Casey thought. Her mind was going insane.
The floor boards looked a little old, but it didn't bother Casey to much. What she loved the most of the room was the bay window over looking a tiny beat up park. The apartment had two bedrooms one bathroom. The kitchen was small but Casey knew she'd make do. Both rooms where plain, the same boarding as the living room and plain white walls.
She imagined painting the walls for the room and putting a nice rug underneath her bed. They had barely any furnishings the only thing her mother had let them take was the items in their bedrooms. She sat at the bay window and looked down. She heard a knock at the door. She got up and opened it.
"Quick! Quick! Go!" George said clearly out of breath.
"I'm trying!" Derek groaned.
Casey laughed at them as they carried in Derek's chair.
"Nora doesn't know about this yet. I'm telling her I finally had a reason get rid of the thing." George said in a low out of breath whisper. Casey ran over to him and hugged him.
"Thank you so much George." Casey said to him.
"No problem! I really have to go before Nora gets home." He hugged his son and left.
Derek plopped in his usual seat. Casey moved past him resuming her spot on the window.
"I knew you'd love that." He commented.
"You know me too well." She teased.
"Oh! I have something!" Derek said getting up out of his chair. He opened one of the boxes in the middle of the room. And pulled out a small portable television.
Casey started to laugh as Derek chuckled.
"I love it!" Casey said.
"Edwin sacrificed it for me. He knew I'd go nuts without one." She smiled at him.
"Oh! I have an idea!" Casey stated as she stood up.
She grabbed and empty box and turned it upside down. She placed the television on top and plugged it into the socket.
Derek smiled at her. Something in his eyes made her want to kiss him. He stood up and walked over to her. He stood dangerously close to her. She imagined pulling him to her and kissing him senseless. She swore she felt him leaning. A few seconds later she realized he was leaning, too turn the small television on.
Casey blushed and scurried back to her seat. Derek sent her a strange glance. Casey adverted her eyes and squinted at the T.V. Derek moved towards her and sat down next to her. He leaned back copying her position. They both where leaning back with their arms straight out behind them.
She looked over at him the same time he did. Casey marveled at his eyes. They had never sat so close together before. The brightness of the sun enhanced the color of his eyes. She could see every fleck of green. He leaned in closer to her. Their breaths entwined as her eyes glanced down to his mouth.
They where merely inches apart when she heard a knock at the door. She let out a frustrated grunt as he got up and opened the door. The apartment manager stood before Derek.
"I wasn't sure if you kids knew about the mail boxes yet. I thought I'd bring this up personally, It being your first piece of mail addressed to your new home." The short fat bald man said walking in looking around.
"Oh! I was wondering if -in a few months- I would be be able to paint some of the rooms. Maybe some new wallpaper?" Casey questioned the man.
"Do what ever you want just don't mess up the floors with a bunch of paint and glue." The old man said.
"Thanks!" Casey beamed at him.
"Cute T.V." The man chuckled.
"Alright well I suppose I should be going, enjoy freedom kids." Their landlord waddled out and slammed the door.
"Wow." Casey said getting up and walking over to Derek.
"What's that?" Casey asked.
"I don't know. It's for the both of us." Derek said raising an eyebrow.
He quickly opened the letter. Derek's eyes widened and Casey was itching to know what was in the envelope. He slowly pulled out a check and showed it too Casey.
She snatched it from him and examined it. Casey's father had sent her a check for $3,000. Her mouth hung open. She glanced up at Derek who was now holding a sticky note up too her. It read, 'Buy something nice for yourself and maybe for my new grand-baby.' She leaped into Derek's arms.
"I can't believe he would do this!" Casey squealed.
"I know!" He pulled back.
"This is-" Derek froze when he looked into her eyes.
Everything was falling into place. Casey could feel something radiating from Derek. She felt whole. She hugged him again, taking in the moment. There was another knock on the door. Casey huffed and yanked open the door.
"Hello! Grand Central Station-" Her mouth dried when she saw him standing there.
"You piece of shit!" Derek yelled throwing himself at the last person Casey would have ever wanted to see. Max.
