Disclaimer: I do NOT own Life With Derek.

A/N: Okay, so it's been a while. I apologize. It would have been up last night, but it was my birthday and I wasn't on. :( Anyways, I think there is only a chapter or two left. But don't worry, I'm going to start a new LWD story. XD

Casey's POV

Not all the birthing classes in the world could have prepared me for actually giving birth. It was painful, and horribly uncomfortable. But I made it through and saw my baby girl come into the world.

"You done great Sweetheart." My mom patted my hand and kissed me on the forehead.

"You were amazing, but I think I'm going to be sick." Derek said. He did look rather pale.

"Don't leave." I said before I drifted off to sleep. Giving birth had taken a lot out of me.

Derek's POV

I felt so sorry for Casey. If I thought I was going to be sick for watching, I could only imagine what it felt like.

"What is her name?" A nurse brought my daughter to me since Casey was sound asleep.

"I'm not sure yet, wait until she wakes up." I said looking at my baby for the first time. She was beautiful. No, she was more than beautiful, she was perfect. She had a thin layer of brown hair and the biggest blue eyes.

"She is so beautiful." Nora said.

"Just like her mother."

Eventually everybody saw the baby and Casey slept the entire time. I was a little worried, but the doctor told me it was normal. I had finally fallen asleep after hours of worry.

"Derek?" My eyes shot open at the sound of Casey's voice.

"Casey, you're awake." I got up from the uncomfortable chair I had fallen asleep in.

"Where's my baby?" I could tell she was about to freak out.

"She's right here." I picked her up from the small cradle they had by Casey's bed.

"She's perfect." she smiled down at our daughter. "what are we going to name her?" She looked up at me with expectant eyes.

"Whatever you want." I said kneeling down beside her bed to get a closer look.

"She looks like a Mandi." She smiled. "With an i."

"Perfect." I said. "My little Mandi." I heard a door open and my dad and Nora came in.

"Oh good, she's awake." Nora smiled and walked over to us. "We brought you guys breakfast." I noticed the bags in my dad's hands.

"What time is it?" I had completely lost track of time.

"Eight, we thought you might be hungry since you didn't eat dinner." My dad said as he sat down the bags on a small dresser. Why they had dressers in a hospital room was beyond me.

"Thanks." I eyed the food as my stomach made some strange noises, which would constitute as 'growling'.

"I'm starving." Casey said, looking at the food with wide eyes.

"Have you thought of a name?" Nora asked, taking Mandi from her and handing her a bag of food.

"Mandi." She managed to get out before she shoved food in her face.

"With an i." I finished.

"What about a middle name?" Nora asked.

"I don't know." Casey answered between bites of her pancakes.

"How about Raquel?" I suggested.

"Mandi Raquel Venturi." Dad said in deep thought.

"I love it." Casey smiled before shoving another piece of bacon in her mouth. The girl could eat, even when she wasn't pregnant.

I finally decided to get something to eat and explored the contents of the bag on the table. I found a tray with biscuits and gravy and proceeded to dig in.

"When do we get to go home?" Casey wondered out loud after she finished her pancakes.

"Tonight, they just want to make sure your both okay and sign the birth certificate." Nora explained.

"Okay, where are the other kids?" She looked around for our younger siblings.

"Emily is watching them, they're going to wait until you get home to see you." My dad answered this time. Casey nodded her head and got up to throw away her trash.

"Whoa, I'll get that." I took the contents from her hand before her feet touched the ground.

"Thanks." She said before laying back in the bed. "When are the doctors going to come in?"

"Right now." The short pudgy man in a white coat said. "It's nice to see you're awake, have you decided on a name?" He looked at Casey expectantly.

"Mandi Raquel Venturi." She answered as Nora handed Mandi over.

"A beautiful name, I must say." The doctor smiled at her.

"Thanks, it matches her." Casey smiled.

"We just need you to sign the papers and you can go." He gave her a warm smile.

"I thought you had to run some tests?" Nora asked him.

"No, we got those done already, and they are both great, everything is fine." The doctor smiled and left the room. I'm guessing he was going to get all the papers. A few minutes later he returned and we signed the papers before Casey got dressed and we all went home.

A/N: Okay, so review please??
