It's been an hour since I have known that Casey was pregnant and now we were lying in my bed , with Casey snuggled to my chest. It was comfortable silence but I couldn't keep the question in anymore I needed to ask her.
"Case are we going to tell it our Parents? I mean we don't have to because after summer we will be in college anyway and we could share an apartment , we could also go to the same college. I have got a scholarship for Okanagan University College in Kelowna but I have saved a little money so I could attend the same college you want to go to? "
"Derek I wouldn't want you to go on your saved money but I agree with you that we shouldn't tell our Parents right now and sharing an apartment would be nice also, anyway Okanagan University College is only 2 hours away so we could see our Family now an then ,which is a nice bonus don't you think?". Now she looked up from my chest and let me tell you she was beautiful in every way imaginable. She has a great personality ,is smart and gorgeous.
"Yeah that is great" that was the last thing I said before I drifted to sleep.
I was awoken by giggling and something snapping, when I opened my eyes I saw Lizzy ,Marti and Edwin ,with a camera in his hand. He seemed to be slightly upset. I wanted to sit up ,only to find Casey wrapped around me. She was mumbling something ,but I couldn't make out what. It looked funny how she was so tangled up with me, that is when it suddenly hit me. Casey and I in the same bed and our step-siblings giggling and taking pictures. "Ed give me that Camera ?" I demanded.
"Sorry bro no can do but might I add that you two really look cute together ?"
"You better run because if I catch you only god can help you" He ran out of the room and I jumped from the bed ,well literally I fell from bed and Casey fell right on top of me. Marti and Lizzy burst out laughing.
"Derek ? What happened ?" God damn she is a sleepyhead. Lizzy and Marti left as they heard Nora call for dinner.
"Edwin and our other lovely siblings decided to take photos of us sleeping. As I tried to catch him I fell and took you with me." I had expected her to start screaming or rambling but never did I think that she would do what she did. She laughed a full hearted laugh.
"What ? What are you laughing at ?"
"You Derek you ... just imagining you falling out of bed is too funny ".
"So you think this is funny ? I could seriously have injured myself , I will show you what is funny " I turned us over so I was on top of her and started tickling her.
"Der... Stop... I ..I breath " My luck that she was very ticklish.
"Do you surrender ?"
"Y..es "
"What I couldn't hear you " I know I was being mean but hey that's my job as her boyfriend.
"YES " She said ,this time a little louder. I stopped and let her catch her breath and just as I was about to stand up she pulled me back down and kissed me full on the lips. I slipped my tongue into her mouth ,exploring every inch of her mouth. We would have gone on but my Dad interrupted us.
"Derek what are you doing there on the ground ?" I was startled and good thing that we were behind my bed so he couldn't see Casey .
"I uhh I just slipped and fell " I stood up and motioned for Casey to slip under my bed. Just in time before my dad went around my bed and stood in front of me.
"Where is Casey ?" I sucked in a breath, afraid that he suspected something.
"How am I supposed to know ? Properly hanging out with Emily or something " I hoped my lie would work and it seemed to work , for my Dad left and went downstairs. Casey came out from under my bed. I sighed in relief.
"At least there was one good thing " I looked at her as if she were Crazy but then she showed me her pink lacy bra. " I really thought I lost it " She cracked a smile and we both tried not to laugh too loud.
We went down for Dinner and sat in our usual places.
"Casey where were you ? We looked all over for you " George asked and in his voice was a little anger and something I couldn't place maybe frustration.
"I was in the bathroom looking for my new lipstick" Casey replied and I have to say she is really good at telling lies by now. Everything seemed to be fine ,we talked about Graduation and Colleges ,where Casey and I both suggested to go to the same college but for different reasons. As Dinner ended Nora sent the kids upstairs I should go too but I didn't want to leave Casey alone here so I stayed.
"Derek please go upstairs now we need to talk to Casey alone". OK by now my whole body was tense and I looked at Casey asking her with my eyes, what she thought of this whole misery.
"Mom just leave Derek what do you want to talk about ?" She was also tense but good at hiding it.
"Casey honey is there something that you wanted to tell me ? You know that you can tell me everything that you want right ?" Nora said.
" No mom nothing why would you ask ?" What happened next surprised me as well as Casey .
"FOR CHRIST SAKE CASEY WHY ARE YOU LYING TO ME " I had Nora never heard yell before. Nora pulled out a bag and in it was the pregnancy test Casey took earlier.
"Shit what are we going to do now , my life is so fucked up, why didn't we through it away " Casey looked at me and just as I was about to answer George interrupted me.
"Casey we know that it's hard to tell your Parents when you ,had your first time but why didn't you use protection ? " Now I was about to tell them everything but Casey saved us both.
" That's not mine, I am not Pregnant and I didn't use it " I looked puzzled ,as did everyone else.
"Mom and George you have to promise not to tell anyone but it's Emily's "
"What " Nora and George both said at the same time.
" Yeah well you see ... " she looked at me and Nora misinterpreted it.
"Derek how could you sleep with Emily and not use protection ? "
"What ?? I... I didn't do , I didn't sleep with Emily , Jesus Nora stop assuming things" "Man that Woman really needs to stop doing that"
"Then does it mean that you slept with someone else ?" As soon as this question left Nora's mouth ,my face turned the shade of a very dark red.
" Mom stop it will you , you are really embarrassing. It's Emily's test and we made it here because she was afraid that her Parents would react just like you did and she isn't Pregnant so chill OK?"
"Alright Casey ,honey, but next time tell us so I don't need to assume things like that. You are both excused so go and do the things you would normally do".
I didn't need to be told twice and went directly to my room. It was already past 9 pm ,so Casey should ,hopefully come in here around 11pm. I had 2 hours. I decided to search the Internet for some Information about young Parents and how they got a grip in their life. I am very nervous even if you don't see it, it seems as if I just finally realized that I was going to be a father. The 2 hours flew by and I didn't realize that Casey entered the room and stood right behind me. I only noticed as she placed a kiss on the base of my neck and I jumped.
"Gezzz Case ,thanks for nearly giving me a heart attack, do you want to be responsible for the death of the Father of your child?" She just laughed harder.
" Oh come on you big Baby it wasn't that bad. But if you insist I want to make it better " The last part she whispered in my ear. She sat on my lap and started to kiss me, my neck ,chin ,ear. Until she finally found my mouth. As we parted she kept on kissing my ear ,whispering
"Is it better now or do you still need my expert help ?"
" It still hurts a bit " I said in a playful tone. She played along.
"Oh yeah ? Where?" She tried to look concerned.
"Right here " I pointed to my eyes and she kissed my eyelids. "And here " I pointed to my cheek. This went on until she finally kissed my mouth. I picked her up ,she squealed and threw her on the bed ,with me lying on top of her. Now I know what you all think is going to happen but no such luck. We were making out for about 6 minutes when we heard a voice.
"Smerek ,Casey ?" Marti stood right beside our bed. I quickly rolled of Casey and both our Faces were flushed red.
"Uh hey Smarti 'sup ? " I tried to cover my embarrassment.
"Nothing you two seemed to have a lot of fun and I wanted to ask if I could have some fun ,too." Now all hope was gone ,for Casey pulled the cover up to her face, in an attempt to hide it. I just looked at Marti not quite understanding why all of a sudden she was in my room in the middle of the night.
"Smarti what's the real reason you are here ?" Marti clutched her stuffed animal tighter to her chest and started to cry. This somehow upset me, I never liked it when girls cried and it was even worse if it is Marti or Casey. I climbed of the bed and took Marti in my arms, trying to calm her down, while looking at Casey. She ,too looked concerned but what Marti did next ,caught me of guard.
"Cas..ey can I hug you ,too ?" Casey looked as shocked as I did ,partly for the reason that Marti normally seeked comfort from only me and because Marti normally never hugged Casey.
"uhm yeah sure you can" Was Casey's reply. Marti looked up from me, took my hand and lead the way to Casey. She climbed on top of the bed and hugged Casey.
"Smerek can you hug us ,too ?" I just smiled and complied. We sat there for a few minutes before Marti spoke up again.
"can you two promise me something ? Please ?" Casey and I both nodded and she continued.
" Don't go away , I don't want you two to go somewhere to college" So that was what it all was about. At Dinner we talked about going to College, typical Marti always fearing the worst.
"Smarti ,silly, we have to go to College and it's only 2 hours away so you can come visit an we will visit you ,too". That was supposed to calm her down but she started to cry again.
"But I .. don't ... Smerek don't you love me anymore ... I won't make any potions and ...and ... will be a good girl". She was really a sweet heart ,my Marti, but to my surprise Casey started to talk.
" I am sorry Marti but it can not be helped, we have to go to College but if you want you can come and stay during our Vacation and visit us on the weekends , that is if you want to". At this Marti stopped crying and looked up smiling.
" Really I can come ?"
"Of course Smarti and you can stay as long as you want " I really turned into a sap but it couldn't be helped. Here I was with the two people most precious to me.
"Smerek Can I stay here for tonight ?" I looked at Casey and she nodded ,while standing up from the bed and walking towards the door.
"Casey where are you going ? " Smarti asked in a panicked voice. Casey turned around and looked at Marti ,confused.
"I am going back to my room I uhh was.. uh just here to say good night to Derek" Marti did the unthinkable
"Yeah and why are you going ? You always sleep in Derek's bed at night " Even in the Dark room you could see Casey blush ,as did I.
"Marti I what ?" Casey tried too hide it but to no avail, Marti just was one smart nine year old.
"Don't be shy Casey I know you love Smerek and I am happy that you two love each other because I have never seen Smerek this happy before and I hope it stays that way or I am going to be very mad". I chuckled and Marti turned her head to me " Smerek when you break Casey's heart I am never going to talk to you again , she is very pretty and really nice" Marti yawned and climbed under the cover. Then she lifted it again and looked at Casey with her best puppy look. Casey also climbed in bed ,so we were lying in bed with Marti in the middle of us. We all drifted into a very peaceful sleep.
That was some hard work , Chapter 11 is about Nora walking in on Derek and Casey while they are peacefully sleeping.
