Ch.10-But I can't be

No one's point of view

Another week had passed since Derek and Casey revealed their relationship to their parents. As expected Casey and Derek were not aloud to be in each other's room by themselves after ten but other then that they were aloud to do anything they could've done with any one else. It was now Friday and Casey and Jazz were in Casey's old room. Everyone had gone to see Derek's game so the girls had the whole house to themselves.

"Jazz I feel horrible for missing Derek's game!"

"Sweetie you've been feeling horrible for at least a week now. It's not you fault."

"Jazz I just don't understand! I've been throwing up every morning and look at me!" Casey was now pointing to her stomach and Jazz had a worried look.

"Sweetie are you sure you're not…"

"Jazz I can't be...I took the test and it said negative!" Casey began to cry and Jazmine pulled her into a hug.

"Maybe you should go see a doctor…Everyone won't be back for at least three hours…that gives us plenty of time to go and come back" Casey slowly nodded.

Two and a half hours had past and Casey and Jasmine were now waiting to here the results outside the doctors office. As the girls waited they noticed the other people around them. There was a young girl around their age with her parents in front of them. To their right was girl who looked to be a little younger then them by herself. Finally to their left was a couple who seemed be around a year older then them. The girl was in her boyfriend's arms looking worried, the boy looked worried but as he looked down at his girlfriend Casey could see he loved her. I wish Derek was here!

"Jazz this is taking forever. If we don't hurry up we won't be back home in time." At that moment a lady came into view and said, "Cassandra Mc. Donald the doctor will speak to you now. Oh and if you want some one else can go with you." Both Casey and Jazmine walked into the doctors office and took a seat .

"Well, Miss McDonald I am Dr.Smith and it appears that you are pregnant." The doctor seemed to be in her late twenties and she spoke as if she wanted to brake the news carefully.

"But I can't be! I took one of those pregnancy tests last week… and it said negative." Casey said the last part in almost a whisper.

"I'm sorry Miss McDonald but sometimes those tests can be wrong especially if you take them with in the first two weeks of your pregnancy. I can assure you though that the test you took today are accurate, you are pregnant." Casey simply nodded and looked down.

"Miss McDonald, since you are only three weeks pregnant you have some options. You can always have the baby and I can help you find some parents for the adoption, you can of course keep the baby if that's what you want, and well since you are only three weeks pregnant you don't need a parents consent to have an abortion." Casey had been in a daze since she learned she was pregnant but at the sound of abortion she was seemed to wake up.

"No! I'm going to have this baby… and I'm going to keep it."

"Well I'm very glad to here that Miss McDonald. If you would like I can be your doctor from now on." Casey smiled and nodded. Dr.Smith then continued to tell Casey about things such as what she should and should not do physically, what she should eat, what to expect, and so on. " Ok then. I see that you are only seventeen. While I think you should I will not force you to tell your parents, it is your desion. It is also getting late, if you want we can make an appointment for tomorrow. Would three o'clock be good for you?"

Casey nodded thankfully, "Yes that would be great, Dr.Smith thank you for everything."

When Casey and Jazz were in Jazz's car they realized that it was already nine and the family had probably already been home for an hour. It wasn't that the family was going to be mad because they would probably be ok with the girls going out, but the thing was Casey didn't want them to ask where they had gone.

As Casey and Jazmine walked into the house they were greeted by the whole family in the living room. Just my luck! Nora and George were on the couch, Derek was in his chair, and for the first time Casey noticed something between her sister and Edwin. Edwin was on the floor and Lizzie on his lap. Lizzie must be tired since she's resting on Edwin. Casey quietly giggled Now I get why they were so worried from what our parents said about my relationship with Derek! As Jazmine closed the front door everyone turned to the two girls.

"Hey sweetie, Jazmine where were you guys?" Nora asked

"Oh…uh me and Jaz went to watch that new Spiderman movie and it kinda ran late." Casey could see her mom was buying her story. " Anyways we would have called but we had our cells turned off since we were in the theatre. Anyways we're kinda tired so I think we'll just go to bed. Night everyone!" Casey said the last part as her and Jazmine ran to Casey's room.

Only five minutes passed since Casey was in her room before Derek walked in. "Ok what's with you guys?"

"Ah what do you mean?" Jazmine asked.

"Look I know guys were lying down there. Casey and me watched that movie last week. And before either of you say anything I know Case can't stand to watch the same movie at the theatre. Also Casey never turns off her cell phone no matter what and it's only nine thirty so I don't see how either of you could be tired." Casey sighed realizing that she had to tell him.

"Ok well I think I should give you guys some time alone. Casey, if you need anything just ask." Jazmine gave Casey a smile and walked out. Now Casey was nervous. Derek had said that he had wanted that child the other week but one thing was wanting and another thing was having. Derek walked over to Casey and they both sat on her bed. Derek gently pushed back some hair that had fallen in front of Casey's face and asked, "Case what's wrong."

"Derek you know how last week I took the test and it said negative…" Derek nodded confused "…well lately I've been throwing up in the morning and feeling weird…so today me and Jazz went to the doctors" Casey's eyes began to water and Derek senced what was coming.

"Case are you…"

Casey began to gently cry. "Yeah…Derek I'm pregnant."

Derek held Casey in his arms and his hands through her hair gently. "Shh…she…Case it's going to be ok I promise…Listen everything is going to be fine….this isn't a bad thing ok." Casey couldn't help but smile. If Derek was ok with it then she was fine.

"I love you, you know that?"

"Well I suspected. I love you to Case and this baby is only going to be proof of that."

" I made an appointment with Dr.Smith for tomorrow at three if you want to go…She said we don't have to tell our parents. What do you wanta do?"

"Well I'm definitely going with you tomorrow….but I don't think we should tell our parents, at least not yet." Derek placed a hand on Casey's stomach and smiled. "Hey little guy. I'm your dad, I'm going to spoil you rotten and teach you how to be the best hockey player ever."

"And how do you know its going to be a guy?" Derek simply looked at Casey and smiled.

"I just know."
