Nope, I Still Don't Own Life With Derek...
Jamie sat quietly on the small black couch and Casey and Derek paced next to each other. She followed them with her small brown eyes and wondered what was bothering them so bad.
Derek looked tired and flushed, Casey looked nervous and antsy.
Jamie should have been used to this by now, but for some reason, it still seemed a little weird to her. "Okay, I'll start." Casey said, finally breaking the annoying silence that filled the boring room.
Derek just nodded his head, He thought it was best for her to start anyway. Plus, if he were to start, he would have no clue where, or how.
Casey painted on the smile she usually has when shes talking to Jamie, and trying to stay clam. This, on the other hand, Jamie was used to.
"Okay, well, When two people love each other veryyyyy much..." Casey started, and Derek rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on, That's really how your going to start?" Derek said, dropping his hands to his side and shaking his head.
"Well, do you have a better idea!?" She asked, turning her attention back to him, and putting on her 'angry' face.
"You know what? Just let me start." He said, pushing Casey aside as if they were still teenagers and fought about everything. Casey just stood back and crossed her arms, she really couldn't wait to see this.
Derek sat down next to Jamie, and used his hands with his words as he talked. "Look, me and Casey have been getting closer over the time that we have been here..." Derek said, looking Jamie in the eyes. She looked confused and arched her eyebrows.
"You know, Like... Boyfriend and girlfriend." Derek said, choosing his words carefully. "Like love?" Jamie asked, tilting her head to the side and trying to understand what it was her dad was trying to say.
"Yea," Derek took a deep breath and smiled over to Casey. "Like love." Derek said, happily.
This made a small smile creep across Casey's face, and her cheeks to turn a bright pink.
"Alright..." Jamie edged him to go on.
"Well, When you're really in love with somebody, you start a family with them." Derek said with a smile. "By the way, Your not aloud to start a family until you're 40." Derek felt the need to throw that in.
Casey rolled her eyes, and Jamie looked at him with confusion. But, she still wasn't sure where he was going with this.
"And when you start a family, that means having a baby." Casey said, sitting on the other side of Jamie. Jamie looked up at her and smiled. "So daddy's going to have a baby?" She asked, looking back over to Derek.
Derek's smile dropped and Casey's got bigger, and soon turned into a laugh. "No, sweetie, Boys don't have babies. Girls do." Casey said, still keeping her bright smile. "So you're going to have a baby?" Jamie asked as her face lit up and a smile, twice as big as Casey's, went from ear to ear.
"Yep." Casey said happily.
"YAY!" Jamie clapped her hands together and jumped to the floor. "A boy or a girl!?" She asked loud and excited.
"Well, Were not sure yet." Derek said, laughing at his daughter's excitement. "Wait so... Will the baby be my sister or brother?" Jamie asked, she looked confused, but she was obviously still excited.
"Half brother or sister, but yes." Derek said, causing himself to smile even more.
"I want it to be a girl!" Jamie said, jumping up and down. "What do you want, daddy!?" She asked, jumping into Derek's lap, and wrapping her arms around his neck. "I wouldn't mind another girl. But a boy would be nice too." Derek said, looking over to Casey. "What about you, Case? What do you want?" Derek asked.
"I want a boy." Casey said, instantly dreaming of having a son, and wondering what to name him.
"Alright, Enough baby talk. It's time for bed." Derek said, picking her up and carrying her to her spot on the floor of Casey's room.
It really made him think as he laid her down. She doesn't deserve to be laying on the floor. She needs a bed, like normal 5-year-old's have, and they needed a house, not a small apartment, like they (or Casey) has now.
Once she was finally alseep, Derek came back out to Casey.
As she stood in front of the sink, washing 3 times the dishes she would have if Derek and Jamie weren't living there, Derek came up and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I can't believe were having a baby," Casey said, letting out a small sigh. "Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Casey asked, being her normal, panicky self.
"Well its not like we have much of a choice," Derek said, but Casey didn't really seem to listen.
Derek just made a small smile, and let her go on with her panicking. "We really don't even have enough space for you, me and Jamie. How are we supposed to fit a baby in here?" Casey asked, brushing a small piece of hair out of her face.
"That's why we need a house." Derek blurted out.
"A house?" Casey repeated, as if she hasn't considered it yet. "I mean, yea. A house." She said, trying to sound more certain. Derek arched his eyebrows and turned her around so that she was facing him.
"What? You don't want to?" Derek asked, being completely serious, and a little concerned.
"Well, its just. Our 'realtionship' isn't completely stable," Casey said. Derek wasn't sure that she had to use 'finger quotation marks' around the word 'realtionship', but he didn't say anything about it, he knew it would just make her mad.
"Don't you think that we should wait until something happens that makes us sure that we will be together for the rest of our lives?" Casey asked, trying so hard to keep the tears from coming to her eyes.
"Casey? You really think I'm going to leave you after everything that we've been through?" Derek asked, narrowing his eyes on her and trying his hardest to smile, but his lips just couldn't do it.
"I'm just scared that... Well, you'll get bored with me." Casey said, holding out her arms in an innocent way.
"How could I ever get bored in a relationship like this?" This caused a smile on both of their faces.
"I love you, Derek. I just need to know that you're in this for life." Casey said, turning back to the sink, and starting to wash the dishes again. "I wish this stupid place had a dish washer," She said under her breath, but Derek was too focused on what he was going to do next, that he didn't seem to notice.
"Umm.." Derek took a deep breath as Casey turned her head and stared curiously at him. "I was going to wait to do this, but, I think now would be a good time." Derek said, slowly moving down to the floor and resting one knee on the cold, white tile.
Casey gasped and gripped onto the counter. "I don't have a ring or anything, but...Casey McDonald, Will you marry me?" He asked, in a shaky, but sure voice.
Casey held her eyes shut tight and took a deep breath. "Whoa." Was all she could manage to get out of her.
"I was kinda hopping for more of a 'yes'." Derek said, looking confused and hurt, but still hopeful.
"Derek, I'm not sure..." She said, finally catching her breath.
"What do you mean you're not sure? Its a yes, or a no?" Derek asked, getting himself back to his feet.
"You cant just ask me to marry you and expect us to be together forever." Casey said, trying so hard not to hurt him, but failing horribly.
"Typical Casey," Derek took a deep breath and made an angry chuckle. "Somebody goes out of their way and does something amazing for you, and you don't even care." Derek said, starting to walk out of the kitchen.
"Is that what you think!?" Casey yelled after him, as she started to walk behind him. "You think I don't care that you just asked me to marry you!?" She yelled as she followed him to the door.
"Well, It doesn't matter if you care or not, because I really don't." He lied as he walked out of the door, leaving Casey in tears, For what seemed like the 900th time.
Don't worry, guys. See how it says "He lied." Of course Derek cares! He just said that to get her upset.
