A/n: Sorry about the long wait on an update... I had this whole chapter finished, and then went to mississippi to visit my sister. I come home to find out my computer crashed and I lost everything. Now I had to rewrite it and this time I took a completely different route, so now it will be longer then I anticipated. I will try to update sooner this time though. ENJOY and REVIEW!!

Chapter 26

"Vanishing what?" Casey said, half outraged with what the doctor was telling her. Derek was sure that if it wasn't for the fact that she was so weak and that she just regained conciousness, she would kill him. then again Derek wasn't to pleased either. Nora sat next to him, apparently ready for him to jump the doctor.

"Vanishing Twin Syndrome. One twin didn't have enough compatibility with either the mother or the other twin. Now of course it is usually the mother, but that doesn't mean you did anything wrong." The doctor said and Casey just rolled her eyes. She looked away from where the doctor was standing and from where Nora and Derek were sitting. Derek wanted to go over to her, but Nora held him back.

"I want to go home." She said, before sniffing and laying back down. The doctor nodded and left the room to get her paper work.

Casey walked into the house and ignored everyone asking how she was. Nora had been the only one allowed in the room at the hospital. It took Derek a lot of yelling to get back there. Most of the nurses didn't believe that he was both her step-brother and father of her children. Once Nora got there and confirmed it, he flipped off all the nurses as he walked into the room.

Casey walked into her room, well mini house, that she shared with Derek and locked the door. Derek sighed when he heard the door lock. Sure he had the key to get in, but he was hoping she would have left it open to let him in. To show that she wanted comfort. Then again, maybe that was why she locked it. So he could prove how much she meant to him. He doubted it, but before he had a chance to try, the doorbell from the back door rang. He sighed and walked back up the stairs. He opened the door and lost his breath in shock.

"K-kendra?" He asked, looking at his girlfriend from like sophmore year. Or was it junior? Either way they were over and ended on what Derek thought was decent terms.

"Shocked to see me?" She said smiling at him. "I just came by to see if you really did knock-up Casey." She said, letting herself into the house. "And to see if you will live up to your end of the bargin." She said, smiling somewhat sadisticlly at him.

"Bargin?" Derek asked and Kendra laughed.

"Aw, Derbear, don't you remember. We decided that we were not mature enough for this relationship in high school, so we decided that after graduation we would give it another try. You promised that even if you were with a girl you thought was your soulmate, you would give it a try." Kendra said and Derek just stared at her in complete shock.

"You have to be kidding. I am going to be a father!" Derek yelled, knowing very well that if Kendra wanted this, she would make sure it happened.

"I think I would make a wonderful step-mom. Besides, I'm all you'll have later if you say no to me now." She said and Derek did everything he could to not reach out and kill her.

"What the hell do you mean?" He asked, and Kendra smiled at him, rolling her eyes in her normal girly way.

"Well, I'll tell Casey that you have been seeing me on the side since before she was pregnant. If you say yes to her now, you won't need to worry about her though. I have a list of guys that want to be with her." Kendra said and Derek was ready to cry out. Or kill her.

"You can't be serious!" Derek said, trying to beg her to reconsider.

"Well, there's Max, Ralph, Tinker, Trevor, Sam." Kendra began with and Derek cut her off.

"I want to be with her. Can't you just let it be like that!" Derek yelled.

"That doesn't work for me because I want you to. Think about it this way, it really won't be healthy for her and the baby to find out you have been cheating on her." She said, smiling at him.

"But I'm not!" Derek yelled.

"All the more reason to just be with me. I'll send some guys over for Casey later. Bye sweetie." Kendra said, before walking out the back door. Derek slammed it shut and punched it as hard as he could before walking away and right into Edwin.

"Derek I got-" He began, but Derek pushed him aside.

"Edwin grow up! And stay the hell away from me!" Derek yelled, walking away from his younger brother. Derek walked into the living room, not sure where he was going, or what he was doing. He had just been threatened by his ex-girlfriend that either he dates her or she threatens his child's life. Before he could think of anything, the door bell rang. He walked over and opened the door to see Trevor standing there, an angered glare on his face.

"Your a jackass." He said bluntly, before pushing past Derek.

"What the hell?" Derek asked, slamming the door shut.

"Sam just got a phone call from Kendra." Trevor said and Derek tightened his fists, but before he could even say a word, Trevor continued. "Don't worry. I'll talk to Casey and all you will have to worry about is child support." He finished with, before walking towards the basement. Derek let out a yell, before throwing his fist into the wall. He then leaned against it and slid down to the ground. He loved Casey, he really did, but he rather have a healthy, breathing child. He let out a nearly silent cry when he realised that he no longer had control in his life.

"They really are?" Casey asked, shocked about the news she just recieved. She sat down on the bed, to shocked to really process it.

"Listen. Your my best friend and I love you. I'm moving down to the States. Chicago to be exact. I want you to come with. Start over with your child." Trevor suggested and Casey paused, seriously thinking about it.

"I thought I wasn't allowed to run away?" Casey asked and Trevor smiled.

"Your not running away. Your leaving and starting a new life." He said and Casey smiled back at him.

"I think that's exactly what I need." Casey said as she began to think of ways to tell her mom she was leaving.
