A/n: Short, I know. It's mostly a filler, but its got everyone's reactions. For the few reviews I got about her previous pregnancy, she knew about it, which you will find out in the next chapter or so. She pieced together that she lost the baby, which would be pretty obvious. But send me reviews, which reminds me to update sooner! ENJOY and REVIEW!!


Chapter 21

"Casey!" The person from the car yelled and she relaxed. She knew that voice, but she could not place it. The shadow walked over to her and once she saw the outline she knew who it was. She ran over to the person and threw her arms around him, startling him a bit.

"Sam. I'm in deep." She said and he wrapped his arms around her, letting her cry before explain.


"So is she really pregnant?" George asked, as Nora sent Lizzie and Marti up the stairs. Derek nodded solemnly. His eyes were fixed on the door, waiting for Casey to walk back through it. He was not't to sure if he could handle this on his own, especially after they had set those ground rules. Now with graduation only weeks away, they had to also prepare for baby in around eight months. Nora walked back down the stairs and motioned for Derek to sit on the couch. He did so, not saying a word, or even attempting to sit in his chair. George sat down at the other end of the couch, his head in his hands and Nora stood leaning against the wall. It was silent for a while, before Nora finally spoke.

"I am going to go look for Casey. George can you please talk to Derek while I'm gone." Nora said, grabbed her coat and walked out the door. She had pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street before either of the men decided to speak.

"I'm sorry dad." Derek said quietly under his breath. He knew he could not take back what they did, and even if he could he would not. It was still sinking in, but no matter how long it took to sink in, he was still created life and was going to be a father.

"I know Derek and I know you did not't mean for this to happen. I knew you were careless, but I did not't think it was this bad." George said, his voice soaked in disappointment. Derek shut his eyes and stood. He walked a couple steps on way and then a couple the other way. He repeated the process a couple times, before George finally stood. He turned to his father and looked at him. He could see a look of shame and support in his eyes.

"I don't know what I am doing." Derek said looking down. George immediately walked over, wrapping his arms around his son.

"I know. I-we will help you guys." George said, his heart breaking at his son's sobs, muffled by his chest.


"So what are you guys going to go?" Sam asked as they sat on the park bench. He did not't know how, but he was going to help support them. It was his best friend, both of them, and he knew he would do anything for them. And their soon to be child.

"It all depends on our parents. If they help us, or if they refuse to help and kick us out. Oh god we will have no where to live. Oh!" She said, tears sprouting again. Sam rubbed her back and hushed her soothingly.

"Now, Case, you know your parents won't do that." He responded back, still rubbing her back.

"What if they want me to abort the baby, or put it up for adoption. I could not do either." She said with her head down. She felt Sam move and someone else sit down. She looked up to see her mom sitting next to her.

"Casey, you know we would not't do that to you. We love you and we will help you guys through this." Nora said and Casey smiled slightly before throwing her arms around her mother's neck Nora wrapped her arms around her daughter, running her fingers through her hair. She smiled at Sam and watched him leave, before she suggested that they do the same.


The two women walked into the house and found the two guys sitting on the couch, waiting patiently. Casey remained frozen by the door, as did Derek on the couch, neither knowing what to do.

"Why don't you guys go to bed. Nora and I will discuss this and figure something out." George said, patting his son lightly on the back. Casey immediately rushed upstairs and directly into her room. Derek stood slowly and walked over to Nora.

"I am really sorry." He said to his girlfriend's mother, his step mother.

"I know Derek. But it's OK, you both are forgiven. It will just take us time to get used to this." She replied, pulling him close. He nodded, before retreating down to the basement.


Casey laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She heard a knock on the door, before it opened. Lizzie stood in the door way, and Casey mentally thanked the lord that it was not't her mom or Derek. She did not't want to deal with anything else tonight. Casey nodded and Lizzie walked into the room, shutting the door behind her. She climbed into the bed next to her sister, who covered the two of them with the several blankets on the bed. For a while they remained silent in the dark, which Lizzie eventually broke.

"Are you going to keep the baby?" Lizzie asked quietly and Casey nodded.

"Of course. I would not't even think of anything else." Casey said, wrapping her arm around her sister. Lizzie laid her head on her sister chest, before falling asleep. Casey continued to stare blankly at the ceiling. After about fifteen minutes she moved her hand from under her head, and down to her still flat stomach. She smiled to herself, before slowly drifting off.


Derek woke the next morning to find Marti laying next to him. She snuck downstairs about ten minutes after he got down there. She wanted to know more about the situation. He had told her that Casey was expecting a baby and that he would soon be a father. Marti smiled happily and asked a few more questions, before she yawned and fell asleep, with her brother's arms wrapped around her. He smiled down at the sleeping girl, before he moved slowly, trying not to wake her. He knew that he was setting a bad example for his ten year old sister, but he could not help but be thankful that he had her support.
