Cassey's pov

I was happy. For the first time I was happy with my whole life. That is until I received a phone call from my doctor.

"Is this Cassey Souza?" the doctor asked nervously. I nodded, then realized that he was on the phone and couldn't see me. I cleared my throat and clutched the phone tighter.

"Yes, this is her."

"The results for the DNA test have come in. Simon Bea is not the father of your child. I am sorry." The doctor said at the end, when a horrified sob burst threw my lips.

"Thank you , Doctor." I said and snapped the phone shut. I couldn't hold the device any longer. I was carrying Kyle Davidoff's spawn. This wasn't right!

"Cassey!" a voice shouted and I shook my head to clear it. I was so out of it this past week.

" It's alright. I just was making sure that you weren't going catatonic on me." Simon said with a sarcastic smirk. I glared at him, but it was half hearted. I still hadn't told him. I knew I should, but I was afraid he would be so disappointed.

"Simon? Why haven't you asked?" I questioned and he smiled tensely.

"I figured if you didn't tell me then it wasn't mine. I'm right aren't I?" He whispered softly.

"I am so sorry." I said and turned away from him. I couldn't stand to look at him when I knew what I had done to him.

"Cassey, I'm not mad. Just sad. I forgave you. We both made mistakes, we always knew this wasn't going to be easy. We've known that from the start. We'll be fine." Simon said, trying to calm me. He was so good at that.

"Promise?" I asked with tears in my eyes. He laughed and kissed the tear that had slipped from my eye away. I smiled and climbed into his lap. He was always taking care of me, and I loved it. He placed kisses down my neck and chuckled when I shivered.

"Tease." I muttered and turned around to kiss him more easily. I was reassured and was prepared for whatever came next.

Finally. I finally had everything I wanted. Derek, and Cassey. A husband and a daughter. I wish things could have been simple, but maybe if they had been I wouldn't appreciate them the way I do now.

I looked over at Derek's sleeping face. He was so beautifully alive. I never want to let go him, but he had work and so did I. I would hardly count working in a library work, but it required getting up early and staying the dark place for 5 hours everyday. I'd been on leave for the 'family death', but after that had been worked out I was returning. Cassey and I had had a long conversation last night. She told me the baby wasn't Simon's. I held her while she cried and then saw the beautiful diamond ring on her finger.

She laughed when I pointed it out. Cassey said Simon asked her to marry him, but before I could get mad, she said that they weren't actually marrying until after she as out of school.

I smiled at the memory and pushed Derek's arm off me. He growled and pulled me back onto the bed.

"Where do you think you are going?" he demanded. I laughed and turned to face him.

"Work. The place you should be at." I said in a disapproving voice.

He kissed me instead of making an excuse for not wanting to work. I giggled and pushed him completely off the bed and laughed at his shocked expression. I stood up and headed towards our shared bathroom. I pulled off my shirt and pants while I started the shower. I heard Derek before I saw him. He must have forgotten that I was still a werewolf. I felt the need to stay this way. I wanted to be able to protect him and Cassey. Even though the Edison group was barely existent anymore, I still felt alert and ready for anything.

Derek wrapped his hands around my waist and dragged them up the sides of my body. I sighed contently and tried to resist him. That was a lost cause. He pulled off the few pieces of clothing I had left and pressed my naked body against his fully clothed form. I stared at him lovingly.

"Why is it that you're still dressed?" I asked and ripped his shirt off. I actually, literally, ripped it too. He jumped in surprise, but grinned easily.

The rest of his discarded clothes went into the laundry basket and I stepped into the shower. He laughed as I accidentally got shampoo in my eyes. He climbed in after me and helped me rinse it out carefully.

"Thank you." I whispered and laid my head on his massive chest. He held onto me and whispered in my ear.

"I love you."

Tori's pov

Here I was back at the airport. Chloe had helped me find the tickets, but had lied to everyone about it. I told her I didn't want to stick around anymore. She was upset, but I think she understood. I didn't want to stick around and watch Simon be in love with someone else. It hurts too much, so I told Chloe that I would visit after I was doing better. I was really going to miss her.

"Well, who is this?" I turned when I heard a deep voice talking from behind me. He was a stranger, and a very gorgeous one too.

"Tori. And you are?" I asked, trying to come off as politely interested. I don't think he was fooled.

"Jack Wells. And it's very nice to meet you Tori." he said suggestively. Maybe there was another was to make this hurt disappear. Jack could certainly help.

"The same to you. Where are you headed?" I asked and he smiled openly.

"California."

I grinned widely and stepped closer to him so we were barely a foot apart.

"Perfect."

Kyle's pov

Maybe this wont work. I think it might be a lot of fun, but I'm sure Tori wont. They never put together that If I could shift into Derek than I could be anyone. And right now I was Jack Wells, a total player and currently using Tori. California was a little hot for my taste, but Tori was perfectly inviting. I couldn't pass it up. She of course has no idea that I'm the man who caused a whole lot of her problems. I felt some remorse for Cassey, after hearing her sob story. She was pregnant with my kid. A great screw up for me, but I couldn't bring myself to care that much.

I boarded the plane with her, and had the luck of being seated across from her.

"This will be a long flight." I said casually. She smiled and nodded.

"But it's worth it to get out of this place."

"I couldn't agree more." i said and kept up a conversation with her.
