Chapter 19 You are what ?
Enjoy Enjoy
Derek's POV
I woke up, to find Casey snuggled to my chest. I smiled to myself thinking about old times, when we were still fighting about everything. If someone would have told me that we would someday be a couple, even thinking about getting married, I would have laughed in their face , thinking they were insane. We are so different but that's what makes us so special, we complete each other. Looking at her while she was sleeping just made me once again realize how truly beautiful she is. Her long brown hair, her delicate face, her soft, red , kissable lips and of course her beautiful blue eyes. As I looked into them I lost myself in them again. Realizing that I normally shouldn't be able to look into her eyes while she was asleep, I noticed that she was awake when she spoke to me, after blinking a few times..
"What are you staring at ? Have I got something on my face?". She asked, rubbing her eyes to get the sleep out of them.
"No, your face is beautiful as always". I replied. She raised an eyebrow.
"Ok what have you done now ? The last time you were this nice to me you busted the washing machine".
"I don't want anything, I just wanted to acknowledge how beautiful you are and how lucky I am to have you as my fiancée". I made an innocent face. She pulled back, out of my embrace leaning on her elbow, so she was hovering over me a little, I was on my back and now she looked me directly in the eye. She had this power to make me forget everything around me by just looking me in the eyes, I was sure she could read me like an open book by now. She used her free hand to stroke a strand of hair out of my face, she smiled as she did that, not a normal smile, no this was my personal smile, just for me. It was showing how much she loved, cared, for me and this smile reached her eyes.
" I am still wondering how I made it all this time without you waking you beside me, God Derek, I missed you so much". To this I gave her one of my own personal smiles, just for her. Sometimes I think we could communicate just with our smiles and eyes, she knew what I wanted and I knew what she wanted, most of the time.
"I missed you more". By now she was caressing my cheek, soon her face inched closer ,till our lips locked. It's funny that I still feel that jolt go through me ,every time she kisses me or hugs me. It were moments like these that I wished I could stop time, just so I could hold onto this moment. Slowly the kiss depend, I felt her leaning on me. Her hands sneaked to my head, tangling themselves in my hair, while my hands were on her waist, pulling her fully on top of me. After I accomplished that I tangled on hand in her hair, pulling her face closer, if that was even possible, the other one was stroking her back. It wasn't a wild kiss or even rough just loving and sensual. Feeling her lips against mine was pure bliss. Of course it had to end some time,we had to end it for lack of air, she pulled back, breathing hard , like me.
"I missed doing that" She whispered against my lips.
"Me , too. We have a lot to make up for , because we didn't kiss for a month now". She was giggling.
"You got that right Mr. Venturi". After the few words left her lips , mine were on hers again. We made out for a good 20 minutes before we heavy heartedly decided to check on the kids and make breakfast.
To our surprise the table was already set , Marti, Ed and Lizz were already eating cereal.
"Morning guys, nice of you to wait for us" I said. Ed turned to look at me.
"Oh I wanted to wake you, but you were already awake and very busy, it would have been rude to interrupt. " he let out , grinning from ear to ear. I looked over at Casey, who had turned a few shades of red. At least Marti was on our side.
"Well it's not like you and Lizzy don't do the same and you aren't even engaged now". Now it was Lizzy's turn to turn red, while Edwin chocked on his cereal.
"Marti!!". Lizzy nearly nearly screamed, while she went over to Edwin , patting his back. I couldn't help laughing saying.
"That's my Smarti, come here my girl": She came over to me and I gave her an one armed hug. Casey was chuckling muttering something about serving him right. As Edwin finished he pointed with a finger to Marti .
"you traitor, you are supposed to be on our side". His face was beat red and tears were on his cheek, he looked so funny, still a little shocked that the three of us cracked up laughing. Ed and Lizz joined too.
Suddenly Casey stopped and had a dead serious expression on her face. The laughter died down and we all looked at Casey, she was fiddling with her hands, like she always does when she is nervous or hiding something.
"Casey ? What's wrong ?". She bowed her head and was looking to the ground.
"I have to tell you all something, I am sorry for keeping it a secret so long but I just didn't know how to tell you , with everything that was happening I kinda forgot about that little issue". She uttered.
"What do you mean Casey, it's not like it can be a big surprise, you are probably just over analyzing things like you always do. Did you forget to go to an appointment with the dentist or something ? You know you are not going to die because of that". I stated , thinking back to the time where she freaked out about having forgotten one appointment at the dentist.
"I am Pregnant". She said, I couldn't believe what I heard.
"You are joking right ?". She shook her head, making me all the more nervous.
"But you can't be , I mean how did that happen ?". I didn't say it in an angry tone just in an disbelieving tone, not really realizing that I might hurt Casey with my reaction. Of course Marti tried to save the mood.
"Well Derek I 'll explain it too you, at first there are the Bees , that go from flower to flower to...". Edwin interrupted her.
"Marti , he knows how it happened, believe me he wants to know when it happened". I looked at Casey ,waiting for an answer. Her cheeks were flushed as she looked at me.
"You know the time before you left, about one and a half month ago ?". She hoped that I would catch one but when I didn't she continued , her cheeks darkening in color.
"The day we sent the kids over to Raven so we could have a little quality time..."
"oh ... Oh". Now I remembered.
Flashback (Derek only remembers in his head and doesn't say it loud, so Marti , Lizz and Ed don't know the details).
I just sent the kids over to Raven, so that Casey and I could have some peace this afternoon, although Casey didn't know that now. Speaking of her, she was in the shower and I had just the perfect idea of how we were going to spent the afternoon together. I went upstairs to the bathroom and opened the door, silently. I went over to the toilet and flushed it, now you all know what happens when you flush the toilet and someone showers, right the water in the shower is freaking cold.
"Ahhh" I heard Casey's scream. I couldn't keep in my laughter any longer.
"Der -Ek". She stuck her head out of the curtain, looking at me.
"You were ringing my princes?".
"You...you , that was cold".
"Really ? "
"yes and you know that damn well". She said angry, pointing her finger at me.
"Then I will have to make it all better now won't I ?". I took her outstretched finger in my hand, before pulling the curtain away and stepping in the shower myself. I still had my clothes on but that didn't really matter.
"What are you doing ?", she asked, although I was sure she already knew what I had in mind.
"Warming you up". I kissed her then, first her lips, then her jaw line neck and shoulder.
"Derek, we can't , what if someone walks in on us ?"
"Won't happen , sent them to Raven for the afternoon, so we can spent some quality time together". That was the last proper sentence we said. My clothes were soon discarded and we had the best sex in a very long time, in the shower. But that wasn't enough, round two was in our bedroom and that was even better, it was more comfortable. After round three we were pretty much at our end.
"Best...sex ... in long time". I breathed out, collapsing besides her, she nodded in agreement and snuggled into my arms before drifting off to sleep, I soon followed.
End Flashback
"You are pregnant" I said out loud. As she nodded things around me started to go black.
I heard voices, they woke me up.
"Do you think he will be okay ?" a voice said, another one said.
"Yes I think he will, he was just a little surprised".
"He hit his head pretty hard". Some other voice said, all sounding familiar. Slowly I opened my eyes , at first everything was dizzy but soon the images were clearing. Casey and the rest were all looking at me from above. I started to sit up but as I did so ,a pain shot through me and I lay back down.
"God, what happened ?". I asked , holding my head.
"You passed out after Casey told you that..." Smarti began as I interrupted her.
"She was pregnant". I finished for her. I looked straight at Casey, as soon as I had eye contact she broke it and looked down. Thankfully Edwin sensed that Casey and I needed a talk between the two of us, so he ushered Lizzy and Marti out and went with them. At first there was a silence but the she whispered ever so slightly.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen". You could practically feel the sadness radiating from her. I slowly stood up besides the throbbing pain in my head and made my way over to her. She went on with her rambling.
"I mean it was so sudden and well I forgot to think of protection as we had sex and...". I reached her now and made her look at me.
"Hey you don't need to be sorry, I am happy , really. I wanted to have more kids with you anyway but I didn't think that it would happen so soon. I am a little shocked.". Tears were already falling from her eyes but this were happy tears, this time. I whipped the tears away with my thumb.
"You mean that?". She asked, hopefully.
"Yes, besides it's not really your fault, remember it's the Venturi super sperm", I chuckled and she hit me playfully on the shoulder.
"Who said that it are going to be twins again ?". She asked.
"Hey the magnificent ability about this sperm is to get the Women pregnant at the first time". I said cockily.
" Too bad that we had sex three times in a row, you don't know if it worked the first time". She wiggled her eyebrow ,teasingly. After giving her a smirk I turned serious again.
"Casey, since when did you know?". She tried to avoid, looking in my face but as I put a hand on her cheek and made her she stopped and said almost inaudible.
"A little over two weeks". Two weeks and she hadn't said a thing. I know that with me being gone and her father in hospital it wasn't easy but she had kept it to herself that long. She seemed to have the need to explain it to me.
"I didn't want to worry anybody and so I kept to myself . A lot was happening and if they knew that I was pregnant again then...". I put a finger to her lips, silencing her.
" Would you have kept it a secret all the time, I mean if I hadn't come home so soon and got a new job offer ?". I asked, I needed to know because she had to trust me otherwise what was a relationship without trust.
"I don't know". She answered honestly. I placed a small kiss on her lips.
"Casey, let's make a promise , doesn't matter what it is, we won't keep it a secret from each other. Okay ?".
"Yes, I won't keep something like that from you again". She flashed me a happy smile before placing a nice kiss on my lips. Then it dawned on me.
"Oh my god, does that mean I have to deal with highly emotional Casey, for 7 months again ? " I said ,dramatically. She pushed me away, smacking my arm in the process.
"Der-ek". We heard giggling and looked to the source to find Ed, Lizz, and Marti , crouched on the stairs, obviously they had been spying on us again. Before I could scowl them how highly wrong it was to spy , Marti came down the stairs , a big grin plastered on her face.
"Does that mean you aren't upset because Casey is pregnant ?".
"Nope Smarti it just means that there are soon going to be more of us living under this roof , or maybe by that time we have found a new house".
"Yes, Casey do you know what it's going to be ? " Marti asked, jumping up and down, then before Casey even had the time to answer.
"It doesn't matter I am going to tell Jayden and Ashley, and off she was". I think now it was official, my family was Crazy. I looked over to Ed and Lizz, he had his arm around her waist. They were both smiling. Then Edwin's eyes began to lit up.
" I got one good idea, how about we invest in the unborn child, I can take bets about what it's going to be. That would be great. We are going to be rich in no time". I didn't have time to say anything because Lizzy already took matters into her own hands. She smacked his head telling him off.
"You won't do that, it's irresponsible. You are not betting anything on anyone of the kids". What was it with these McDonald's , they all seemed to be faster than I was.
"But Lizz, babe, don't you see the potential in it? It would be irresponsible to not make bets". The next thing we saw was Lizzy pulling Edwin upstairs, by his ear. We heard small shouts of "Ouches ". Officially crazy.
After everything was cleaned up I took matters into my own hand and called Mr. Justo.
"Hello, this is the secretary of Mr. Justo speaking, What can I do for you?".
"Hello, my name is Derek Venturi and I am a former client from Mr. Justo. If it is possible could I talk to him ?".
"I am going to ask him and put you through if he has time " Now there was this music playing, that always plays when you have to wait. Two minutes later MR. Justo was on the phone.
"Mr. Venturi , how nice to hear from you. What can I do for you ?".
"Mr. Justo I am calling because of the Letter you sent us, somebody broke into our house and stole the letter, I wanted to know if it was possible that you sent us another exemplar".
"Which letter ?". He asked.
" The one where you told us that the hearing was canceled because Nora and George canceled it, for now". I stated.
"I don't know what you are talking about. The hearing was never canceled and is still on June 7th". As I heard that I was more than just a little confused.
"But we got this letter". I started .
"Mr. Venturi I have a client I have to speak to so, maybe you can sent me the letter and I will see what this is all about, I will phone you as soon as I find something out".
"But the letter was stolen".
"Then there is nothing I can do.".
"Thank you for your time , have a nice day". With that I hung up. This was interesting, if he didn't ever sent a letter , then who did ? I had to sent Mr. Justo the letter but how would I do that if it was stolen ? I tried to think that maybe it wasn't stolen but just put somewhere , where we couldn't find it ? No that was ridicules, Casey would have found it by now. What to do, What to do ?. I was pondering over these thought till suddenly an idea came to my mind. Denis, he would have the letter, at least we faxed it to him. But it still didn't answer who sent us the letter.
Rubbing my head in frustration I went upstairs to Casey, whom was currently putting the twins back to bed.
"Case, we need to talk". She looked at me questioningly and motioned for me to go on.
" I talked to Mr. Justo and he said he never sent us a letter, apparently the hearing is still set and it was never canceled".
"But then who sent us the letter ?, I mean Mr. Justo singed it and all.". I nodded, I was just as confused as her.
"We should visit your father tomorrow and ask him, if he still has the faxed letter, maybe he remembers".
"Yeah we should do that. Coming to think of it, who would be the only person being able to fake a letter, more importantly who would be the only one having a benefit of it ? Or more precisely , to whom would it be of advantage if we didn't appear to the hearing ? Who would get the custody? ". It took me a few moments to realize what she was implying but then it dawned.
"George ".
"Exactly".
"Then the burglary was just a set up, he wanted to destroy all the evidence. Do you think he would go so far ?" I asked, I knew my dad hated me but would he really go that far ?.
"I don't know but he is the only person I can think off and Nora is in it too, probably". Casey was right, in a weird way it all make sense.
"Let's go to the hospital tomorrow and see what we can find out".
"right". Casey said in agreement.
The door bell rang and a few minutes later we heard Marti yell.
"Casey, Derek, Doreen's here".
Casey raised an eyebrow at me, I shrugged my shoulders, I don't know why she was here either. We went downstairs , to find Doreen with bags of food,in her hand and another , rather beautiful woman, besides her.
"Derek, Casey, Hey, sorry for just popping in but I thought we should celebrate your victory and I brought my Girlfriend with me, I hope you don't mind, this is Amber". Doreen explained. I looked at Amber, she was pretty, a good 5 feet and 9 inches tall, long black hair, blue eyes.
"Uhm Hi ". She said shyly. The totally opposite of Marti.
"Wow you are gorgeous". Marti blurted out. Amber blushed and Doreen just laughed it off.
"Yeah hun , she is, but she is already taken ". Doreen told Marti and winked at her. We introduced ourselves and set the table for dinner, in the bags of Doreen was Chinese food. The rest of the evening was rather funny, we had good moments. Casey seemed to befriend with Doreen more. I think it's because Casey now knows that Doreen already had a girlfriend and I don't know, maybe before she thought Doreen might make a move on her. The thought of it wasn't so funny, somehow it made me jealous even though I knew Casey wasn't a lesbian. The kids were already in bed, so it was just the four of us.
I looked over at Casey at that moment, she was talking to Amber and Doreen, something about how awful it is to have her period in summer , I don't know what they were on about but it didn't matter. I overheard something about eating olives with Vanilla ice cream, hearing this made my stomach turn and it seemed that not only my was turning. Casey was turning a little too pale for my liking.
"Case, you alright ?".
"Derek? I think I might..." the rest was cut off as she rushed into the bathroom and we heard her throw up. Of course I was with her in seconds, rubbing her back to calm her. Yep and the sickness begins, this muss suck. She finished soon.
"Everything Ok?" I asked. She nodded.
"I guess".
"Aren't you supposed to get sick, like in the morning ?". I asked.
"That's called morning sickness and Derek I had it for the past two weeks, but every time someone mentions ... mentions...". She didn't say the rest off the sentence.
"What ? Olives with...". Casey was back to throwing up.
"Oh". Then Doreen was behind me with a bucket of water and a wash cloth.
"Derek, you sly guy. Why didn't you tell me that Casey was pregnant ? ". I was speechless, how did she know that ?.
"Don't be dumb, I still know when I was little and my mom was pregnant with my brother , she threw up every time I mentioned Olives ". And there goes Casey again.
"Oh, I am sorry dear, I didn't mean for that to happen, here let me help you, I know what calms your stomach, first let us get you cleaned up". We did that, Casey brushed her teeth and after that we put her to bed.
"Here put that on you stomach that helps". She put a warm wash cloth on her stomach.
"We will leave now but you let yourself be served from Derek. Goodbye and sleep well " Doreen said that and I walked her downstairs. While Doreen and I were upstairs and helping Casey, Amber had cleaned everything.
"Amber, honey, Come on let's go, I'll tell you what happened later. Night Derek, we have to repeat that again. Now go and help Casey feel better ". She winked at me and off they were. Really Doreen was one of a kind.
