Authors Note: Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews everyone! Sorry I couldn't personally reply to all of them, but I have been so busy lately and you guys are so great you're sending me so many reviews with not only this story, but the other one that I can't keep up! Seriously though that is a good sign and really motivates me to update faster and sooner and write more! Also please don't get mad, but this story may go to forty-five chapters just because of some baby things, but I'm sure you'll all like them, I hope so! Enjoy!

IRONIC NOTE: Okay so while I was writing the middle of this chapter I was watching lifetime and one of my favorite movies came on, it's called How to Deal and if you haven't seen it go watch it now! Well actually I'd read the two books that were combined for the movie even though there are two totally different characters and situations, but as confusing as that sounds it makes sense when you see the movie. But the ironic part in this was one of our favorite characters Hallie, well that is where I got her name from was the book Someone Like You and also the movie How To Deal. And if you saw the sneak peak video about the sequel and saw the little girl Haven McDonald well that name is from the other book That Summer. So that was my little ironic note.

What Is Wrong With Me?

(A Dasey Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Really Great Sex

Derek's POV

I felt myself still frozen, the baby, our baby, what when did this happen? How did this happen? Well I mean I know how it happened, but I thought she took the test and it was negative that meant no baby right, right? I turned towards the doctor again, "But she took a test and it said negative I thought that meant she wasn't pregnant."

Before the doctor could respond I heard Casey beside me almost speaking too quietly to hear, "Would you believe their not one hundred percent accurate I've been carrying a baby this whole time and I didn't even know…" she was staring off into space and I couldn't even begin to think about what was running through her mind, well the unobvious answer to that at least.

The doctor nodded smiling, "Yes I was still surprised though with Ms. McDonald even after learning this I mean she's far enough along she should be showing any day now, and the signs should have been there." I ran my hands through my hair, "Well she was throwing up, but I thought it was just nerves or something… a baby are you sure?"

The doctor laughed a little, he sure was calm, then again he was the two teenage step siblings that just found out they're going to have a baby, "Yes I can pretty much say it is a fact you two are having a baby. I mean there always is adoption, but I'm afraid it is too far along for an abortion, would you two have considered either of those?"

I felt Casey's eyes on me as the doctor said this, but before he could barely even finish the sentence I found myself saying something loud and fast, "No! I mean… I meant I would never want her to have an abortion and as for adoption this is our baby not someone else's."

The doctor smiled at me, but then again I doubt those words are things he hears from most teenage future fathers. I looked at Casey who looked like she was trying to smile, but instead turned away murmuring, "I'm tired I want to go to sleep again."

The doctor nodded, "That's probably wise after all you are caring for two people now." I looked at him stuttering a little, "Does she need to do anything special I mean what do we do how do we know were not hurting it… can I still touch her or could I hurt it… I mean I don't want to…"

The doctor laughed warmly, "Mr. Venturi you don't have to worry touching Ms. McDonald will not hurt the baby in fact when far enough along it's almost tradition of fathers to sometimes feel the baby kicking or even talk to it for that matter." I raised my eyebrow, "Talk to it? Will it hear me, I mean won't it be inside her stomach?"

The doctor laughed again, "Tell me Mr. Venturi did you pass your health class course on sex ed?" I laughed a little I did sound stupid, but a thing like this probably does that to people. I smiled sitting back a little, "Sorry it's just this is all a lot, it's just… just… wow!"

The doctor laughed again, "Yes we'll see how wow it is once it's born. Now you stay with Ms. McDonald and Ms. McDonald you get some rest." He then walked out of the room closing the door Casey was turned over in bed, but I knew she wasn't asleep.

I lied back down next to her draping my arm over her carefully, she nudged me off a little and I took it back a little confused. I waited for a while trying again, but when I got the same response I lifted my head to speak, "Casey what's wrong the doctor said it was okay for me to touch you… I mean the baby will be okay and…"

She cut me off, but still didn't face me, "Derek just stop." I sat up all the way confused, "Stop what?" She turned around sighing, "Stop being so calm about everything, I mean we are in high school Derek we can't have a baby!"

I hesitated to roll my eyes, "Well I don't think we can change the fact we're having a baby now Casey." She sighed crossing her arms and sitting up, "I know, but we don't have to… keep it," she said the last part almost mute probably hoping I wouldn't hear it, but oh I heard it.

I turned to her suddenly really angry, "What did you just say, are you kidding me! Don't think for a second I honestly believe you would ever give up your baby and if you do I don't know you at all, I mean look me in the eyes right now and tell me you want to give up your baby if it's true Casey," I turned her towards me and she tried to look away, but I wouldn't let her.

She sighed, "I don't want…" she broke down crying suddenly against my chest, "I want to keep it, but I don't think I can!"

I held her tightly against me stroking her back with my hand trying to calm her, "Casey it's okay, but I don't understand what do you mean you don't think you can?" She pulled back a little so she could look up at me, "Derek I can't be a mom, I don't even know if I know how and I'm still in high school, I mean what am I going to tell my friends, or our family for that matter, what if I do something wrong and I can't take care of it right… I could be an unfit mother, I don't want to be an unfit mother Derek I can't do that to an innocent baby… ugh this is all my fault…" She fell down her head against the pillow.

I lied down beside her stroking her arm, "Casey? Case stop it, this isn't all your fault I'm positive I had a lot to do with this, but none of that is going to happen okay, I mean you're going to be a great mom it's me who should be worried… and as far as what everyone else thinks well who cares I mean they should be jealous they have to wait for this to happen and we get it all now. Everything is going to work out okay I'll make it work out, I promise."

She looked up at me slowly shaking her head speaking softly, "How can you promise something like that?" I smiled a little stroking her cheek, "Because I know everything will be okay as long as I have you."

She sighed looking away and I could tell she was on the verge of tears again. She then turned back sharply shaking her head as her eyes began to water a little, "I'm not ready to have a baby Derek," she then buried her face into my chest speaking in a muffled tone now, "I'm not ready to be a mom."

I rubbed the back of her head again whispering to her, "Casey please don't cry everything will work out I promise, I promise."

We stayed that way for a while, a long time actually and then with out another word she pulled away lying back down and I lied down beside her placing my arm around her protectively. She was quiet and still and after a while I was sure she fell asleep, but then I heard her quiet whispers even with her back to me, "Derek I can't tell my mom please don't make me tell her." She turned in her position so our heads were facing each other on the pillow. She stared up into my eyes and I saw the fear and begging she was sending out through them.

I frowned not sure what to say and then I sighed, "Casey I won't make you do anything, but don't you think they'll start to notice?" She looked at me now starting to cry again a little and began to nod her head slowly, but then shook it, "I still can't tell them Derek I know I'll just start crying or I won't be able to do it or something."

She was begging for something I couldn't give her because our parents would find out and as much as I hated the idea telling them would be a lot better than them noticing and being oh yeah guess what I impregnated Casey, no that would not go down well. I looked back at Casey snapping out of my thoughts when I realized she was still waiting for me to help her. I nodded slowly, "Then I'll tell them."

Casey looked up at me shocked, but relieved at the same time she then looked down slowly, "I still can't believe this is happening." I lifted her chin softly so she could look into my eyes and spoke with kindness, but almost demanding in a way, "Casey I know your scared and trust me I've never been more scared in my life, but we're going to get through this and I promise you that not only is everything going to be okay, but we're going to be happy us and," for some reason I couldn't help, but smile a little, "our baby," I laughed a little at the end with happiness.

Casey could barely smile, but I could tell she felt a little better she then looked up at me serious her voice shaky, but a lot less, "You promise?" I nodded, "I promise and I love you this changes nothing." She nodded slowly and then started crying a little, but not so much sadness anymore. She then laughed through her tears a little, "I'm going to be a mom."

I smiled holding her closer staring off into space as we lied next to each other, "We're going to be parents." I heard her yawn and then it got quiet after a while I checked this time to make sure she was asleep. I then gently crept out of bed kissing her on the cheek and tiptoeing out of her hospital room closing the door. I sighed breathing in sharply and running my hands through my hair.

I had been strong for Casey, but I was afraid I couldn't do the same for myself. I mean I know Casey will be a great mom, but me a dad? What if I do something wrong, I know nothing about being a parent. And what if I try my best and it isn't good enough and the kid grows up and hates me? What if… Ugh stop it Derek! I had to think about something else just for a little while. I sighed closing my eyes and trying to calm myself down. I opened them speaking almost silently to myself, "Okay here's what you're going to do Derek, for now you are going to go in the waiting room and tell everyone everything is okay and then you're going to think about what you're going to do with everything. I mean before the baby there's still Max, ugh he is one person who is never getting near Casey again or the baby," I had to stop realizing I was getting louder and louder with each word and if anyone else walked by I would sound like a crazy person.

I sighed again then breathed in deeply beginning to walk down the long hospital hall towards the waiting room. I was hoping badly are parents went home to check on the kids or something because facing them with the knowledge I just learned would not be a good thing. I slowly walked through the doors and down a smaller hallway getting slower and slower as I saw the waiting room, I stopped out of sight looking over everyone in it.

I didn't see my dad or Nora, but I did see Casey's dad, I was surprised he was here he lived in New York and he hardly ever came to see Casey. In fact after I learned he was part of the reason Casey broke down once about people leaving I'd rather he not be here, he didn't deserve to see her if he could hurt her, I wouldn't let anyone hurt her again. I would take all the heat from our parents, the whispers from kids at school, but if anyone tried to hurt Casey again they would answer to me. I found my fists clenched at my sides and I head to sigh calming myself a little.

I looked around at the others, the first I saw were Hallie and Caleb. They were sitting down on a couch leaning back. Caleb had Hallie resting on his chest and they were both staring into space silently, I then looked down at their hands to see they were entwined and I understood from experience with Casey that sometimes the simplest touch could give you more reassurance than any amount of words. I looked over in the corner to see Reed speaking quietly on his phone and looked to be in a very serious conversation by the way he kept rubbing his temples and making sure no one around was listening.

I then looked over at Jaci who was sitting next to Skylar. Jaci had her feet propped up on the table in front of her and was staring intently at them obviously thinking of something. Skylar was watching her and by his face I knew he was deciding if he should scoot closer since there was a very noticeable distance between the two. I watched carefully as he scooted closer, but she didn't notice. He then carefully and gently slipped his arm around her shoulders and turned her head towards him.

She looked at him saying something softly and he nodded slowly, I then watched as she buried her face into his chest. She wasn't crying, but I think she needed someone to lean on, but knowing her this meant she trusted and cared for Skylar enough she could do this with him, and he accepted it with open arms.

Then I saw Tristan and Nikki walk in from a hallway opposite from mine with coffee for everyone. They handed it out almost silently and then took their seats, next to Reed who was now off the phone and the three started talking quietly amongst themselves. They were all here and I needed to go out and face them tell them Casey was okay, but too weak to see anyone right now. Without letting it slip or show on my face she's also pregnant with my baby. I mean we had to tell them sometime, but maybe Casey would want to tell them, so I should just wait, yep I'm just going to wait. I ruffled my hair a little and rubbed my face trying to calm myself and pulse down to a normal level. When I knew it was as good as it was going to get I slowly walked out into the waiting room standing there awkwardly.

Hallie noticed me first and she immediately jumped up rushing over to me, "What happened is she okay is she awake now or…" she trailed off not sure what to say, but leading it in a pleading, but demanding tone. Caleb came up behind her placing his hand on the small of her back to calm her. Jaci and Skylar both looked up as I walked over to all of them and Hallie followed along with Caleb still waiting for an answer. Everyone was waiting, except for Casey's dad who probably didn't even remember who I was or that I would have answers.

I ignored him just the same taking in a deep breath preparing myself more to explain. And then I let it all roll out, well not everything, but you get the picture, "Okay she's awake as in out of the coma now, but she went back to sleep because she's really tired. She has some broken bones, cuts, and bruises, but the doctor says their going to be okay."

Jaci frowned, "Their?" I bit my tongue shit, what the hell did I just say! I cleared my throat, "Did I say their sorry I meant her, really I meant we're going to be okay because we cleared everything up, it's a long story."

Jaci nodded along with everyone else and I was glad they weren't pressing it more. Hallie then shrugged a little, "So is there a short version to the long story or..." she trailed off again in a questioning tone.

I shrugged shaking my head, "There could be I guess, but I just want to get back to Casey you guys can go home if you want I'll call you when she can see other people, but it probably won't be till tomorrow." Hallie shook her head, "No we need to be close by and we live an hour away."

Reed then perked up a little, "You guys could stay with us guys if you wanted to I mean we live right down the street and all." Skylar smiled nodding at Jaci more than anyone else, "Yeah I mean we could give you ladies our beds and us guys could sleep out on the couch and stuff."

Jaci, Hallie, and Nikki both exchanged looks and then Jaci spoke up for the three of them, "Yeah I guess so, but um don't forget about Tristan." Reed laughed a little, "Yeah dude sorry about that you can bunk with us too." Tristan nodded, "Okay cool then I guess we'll all sleep there tonight and come back tomorrow morning to see Casey."

Reed nodded then looked back at me, "Derek man you can stay there to if you want to I mean we have plenty of…" I cut him off quickly shaking my head, "No I need to stay with Casey you guys go get some rest I'm staying with her." Hallie smiled at me and then nodded, "Okay you should get back to her now we'll see you later." Jaci and her then hugged me telling me everything was going to be okay and everything I nodded saying my goodbyes and waving to them as they all got in the elevator and left. I turned around sighing and saw Casey's dad again, I guess I should tell him she's alright not that he deserves it, but he is her dad I guess.

I walked over he was sitting down with his face in his hands and I cleared my throat, "Excuse me, Mr. McDonald?" He looked up slowly, "Yes that's me."

I gulped, he was being polite, but I doubt it would be the same if he found out I impregnated his daughter. I then cleared my throat, "Um you probably don't remember me we met once when you came over to see Lizzie and Casey I'm Derek Venturi Nora married my dad, but uh…" He stood up suddenly cutting me off, "Do you know anything about Casey? How is she?"

I stepped back a little, "Oh yeah she's fine, she's sleeping I've been in to see her and when I left she went back to sleep didn't the doctors tell you anything?" Shit why did I ask that now what if he asked and they said something about the baby or something? Stupid Derek! Stupid Derek!

He shrugged, "I figured they wouldn't say much I could ask now I guess…" I quickly grabbed him, "No!" He looked at me strangely and I smiled nervously, "I mean I could just tell you and probably more than they would tell you, you know?"

He nodded, "Well?" I cleared my throat again why was this guy making me so damn nervous, oh yeah the whole impregnating his daughter thing probably. I spoke up again, "Well she had some broken bones, bruises, and cuts, but the doctor said she was fine and all. And she was in coma for a while, but she came out of it and now she's resting and I need to get back to her so…" I was ready to get out of here, but he quickly caught me when went to move away, "Wait a minute how could they let you in there I mean your not blood family no offense?"

I bit my bottom lip almost screaming in my head because you know she's having my baby and I pretended to be her fiancé and all. He laughed noticing my nervous expression, "Son it's best just to come out and tell me how you got in there I mean I will found out soon enough." I nodded slowly, oh you're going to find out more than you know, believe me. I then crossed my arms looking down and speaking lowly, "I umm said I was her…. Um I may have said I was her fiancé."

I looked up slowly and he was frowning a little, not really a mad expression, but more confused, "Why would you say that I mean they would have checked for a ring or something for proof considering your two's age, I'm still confused."

I nodded biting my knuckle, "Yeah… yeah they did check for a ring." He motioned for me to continue, "And?" I shrugged, "She sort of had one that was nice… that I gave to her." He laughed a little, but it wasn't happy, "Derek was it please don't tell me next you two are actually engaged I mean next thing you know you'd be telling me she's also pregnant." I think I just felt my heart stop.

I shook my head, "No, no nothing like that we're not really engaged." He shifted a little, "Then do you mind telling me why you would give my daughter a ring that could pass for one of engagement?" I stepped back a little, I was scared now I looked down again speaking very low, "I'm kind of dating your daughter sir."

He nodded not that happy like, "Really Derek tell me you said you two were step siblings didn't you?" I nodded slowly, "Yeah and boyfriend girlfriend." And soon to be parents, but I didn't say that out loud. He backed a way a little in disbelief, "I can't believe Nora would let this happen I told her two teenagers of the opposite sex moving in together was not a good idea when she told me about her remarriage and now look what we've got," he wasn't really talking to me anymore, but more himself.

I frowned getting his attention again, "Look sir as weird as this may sound I love your daughter and she loves me back it just so happens we're in this weird situation." He nodded rubbing his temples, "Yes I know you two may think you're in love, but your just teenagers I mean I'm not sure if you even really know what love is."

I was offended now and I couldn't stop myself with what I said next it just slipped out, "Says the divorced middle aged man who never even comes to see his daughter." He looked up frowning speaking sarcastically, "Well my daughter certainly knows how to pick them doesn't she?" I glared, "Don't bring Casey into this." He came closer to me, "She's my daughter I will bring her into whatever I want however letting her mother bring her into your home was obviously a mistake I mean god only knows what has happened under that roof between you two." I smirked the Old Derek Venturi really taking over me, "Really great sex." I then stormed off before he could kill me and down the hallway almost running back to Casey's room. She was going to kill me for sure, but I like I said sometimes you can't control what you say I guess.

Casey's POV

I had woken up as Derek walked out the door, or maybe I wasn't even really asleep. How could I sleep after what I found out today, I mean I was going to have a baby, a baby. And no matter how many times Derek said it was going to be okay I can't help, but think it isn't. I didn't even know what I was doing, but I found myself taking the crutches beside my bed to help me out of my room. I felt pain all of the way, but I wanted to go somewhere and now I was almost there.

I read the sign above my head, to make sure I was in the right place and then I carefully hobbled with my crutches over to the large glass window. Inside I looked at all the tiny sleeping faces of babies, they were so small and helpless. How in the world could I ever be ready to take care of something like that? I heard someone beside me, "Aw honey look there she is, this is the happiest day of my life." I turned to see a woman and a man, the woman was in a wheelchair probably since she just came out of birth and they were pointing through the glass to a little baby girl who was sleeping so innocently.

The woman noticed me and smiled sweetly, "Having a baby is such a wonderful thing just wait until your older and experience it, it will change your life." I smiled nodding and turning away, older as in months maybe. The couple smiled exiting back into a room and I sighed looking in the glass again. A baby boy right there looked up at me smiling, almost as if he was laughing he lifted his little hand at me. I smiled waving through the glass, "Hello little sweet boy."

I then jumped at a voice next to me, "Adorable isn't he? He seems to like you too," I looked to my side to see the source of the voice as a nurse. She looked older had her hair in a bun and was smiling sweetly at me. I smiled, "He's really cute I can't believe how little they all are they look so breakable."

She smiled nodding, "They certainly are a precious thing, little angels all of them. You know I was on my way to care to some of them, just sing some to sleep and all, you wouldn't mind giving me a hand would you?" I smiled shaking my head, "Oh no I couldn't I umm…."

She smiled, "Sweetie what are you doing here a young girl like yourself?" I smiled looking away, "I um just found something out and it sort of lead me here." She smiled again, "Come in with me, that one seems to want to meet you and I think it would be good for you." I smiled looking back at the little boy who was still practically laughing up at me, I then looked back at the nurse and nodded, "Okay."

She led me in after she sanitized me for everything and then we went in the room. She then led me over to the little boy setting me down in a rocking chair, "Here hold out your arms like this," she showed me and I did what she said. She smiled, "You're a natural now here make sure to support his head here he comes."

I smiled as she handed him to me he let out a small giggle and I laughed, "He's so cute." She smiled nodding and then sighed, "It's a shame someone would give up such a cute fellow isn't it?" I frowned looking up at her, "Give it up what do you mean why would someone give him up he's perfect."

She smiled nodding sadly, "I know, but he was put up for adoption sad part is if he isn't adopted in the days he's here he'll go to a foster home." I frowned again looking back down at the sweet little baby boy and then back at her, "What will happen then?" She sat down next to me picking up another baby, "He'll probably float around the system with all the others for a few years and if he's one of the lucky ones he'll get adopted."

I looked back down at him again and he smiled grabbing my finger in his small hand laughing again a little and trying to bite it, but with no teeth. The nurse sighed, "A baby's a precious thing you know I hate to see people give them up, what are you going to do with your baby child." I looked up alert, "I never said I was pregnant can you already tell?" She smiled rocking back and fourth, "By you're appearance no, but you told me when you came here." I looked down, "I know, but I don't think I'm ready for this."

She smiled motioning to the little boy in my arms, "He seems to think you are," she then got up humming and walking over to tend to some other babies. I smiled back down at the little boy, "So you think I'm ready to be a mom huh?"

He smiled a toothless smile sticking his tongue out a little. I smiled, "I'll take that as a yes, but you better not be wrong." I then smiled looking over at his name reading it out loud, "Nate Anderson," I smiled down at him, "you sure are a cutie aren't you Nate Anderson." He smiled grabbing my finger again. I laughed a little and he smirked back up at me again. I then rocked him whispering sweet things and letting him hold my finger. Forgetting everything, but this beautiful baby boy I was holding in my arms, and it made me think I couldn't see anyone giving up a baby anymore, and I wouldn't be able to do it myself.

After a while I heard someone knock on the glass and I looked up to see a worried looking and frantic Derek, but then he paused looking down at Nate and smiling at me sweetly. I smiled back and then motioned for him to hold on. I then saw Nate was asleep so I placed him carefully back in his crib whispering to him sweetly, "Don't give up hope one day you'll find the perfect family."

I then got my crutches and got out of there instantly greeted by Derek who looked worried, "Casey are you okay you shouldn't be up." I looked up letting the crutches drop with all the pain I had as Derek caught me, I held onto him tight whispering in his ear, "I want to keep our baby." He nodded smiling and then to my surprise and everyone's around us he picked me up carrying me back to my room.

He lied down beside me smiling and stroking my cheek, "You looked so right back there." I smiled then turned sad, "That baby the parents gave it up." He lifted my cheek, "Casey we won't do that to ours okay." I nodded slowly, "I know." He then smiled nervously, "So umm I have some more news," he laughed nervously, oh no what did he do.

I looked at him seriously, "Derek what did you do?" He smiled shrugging a bit, "Oh nothing big I sort of saw your dad here went to say you were okay and ended up telling him we were dating in love with each other and had sex, just that you know," he laughed nervously and I froze with shock.

I then pushed him, "YOU IDIOT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!" He came closer again trying to calm me, "Casey calm down okay it just happened I mean I got mad because he was being so ugh about me saying I loved you and then he said something about all that has probably happened under that roof and I just said really great sex and ran off, but I mean it's not like he wasn't going to fight out when we tell everyone your pregnant." I laughed angrily, "Oh yeah way to find the bright side Derek I wasn't even going to tell my dad, you do realize he's probably going to disown me." Derek rolled his eyes, "Yeah well he already hates me so join the club."

I frowned looking Derek over and then a little more sincerely said, "Derek what exactly did he say to you." He looked away, "Nothing okay I messed up I'm sorry." I turned him towards me, "No tell me now." He sighed before talking fast, "Okay look he said I didn't even know what love was and then he said basically by choosing me was a bad choice and your mom should have never moved you guys in and it just doesn't matter because I don't care okay!" He stared at me waiting for something and I looked at him and then hugged him, he hugged back when he realized it was that and not an attack.

I hugged tightly, "I love you and I'm sorry he said those things, but I don't care what he thinks okay?" I nodded rubbing her back, "Okay I just wish I don't know I wouldn't have said what I said now it was stupid and childish and you being so nice about it doesn't make me feel any better." I pulled apart sighing, "Derek please don't worry about my dad because right now honestly he's the least of our problems."

He laughed sarcastically, "Oh yeah don't think I haven't forgot about Max…" he then looked up seeing my annoyed face and quickly covered up, "I mean the baby of course too!" I nodded rolling my eyes, "Uh huh look Derek I don't want you to waste your time plotting your revenge against Max okay?"

He pulled back a little now he was annoyed, "What! What no way you don't get to say that I get to do what I want with Max and that includes revenge." I sighed rolling my eyes, "Fine Derek whatever."

He then smiled coming closer to me laying down next to me, he began tracing his fingers over my shoulder, "So you know there is something else we have to think about too you know…" I smiled confused, "What's that?"

He smiled blushing a little, "Well I mean shouldn't we start thinking of baby names." I laughed a little, "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet." He smiled playing with my hair now, "I know, but we could think of both until we find out." I laughed a little, "You seem excited about this." He looked up letting go of my hair, "Aren't you?"

I shrugged, "Well yeah, but I'm more worried you seem almost in love with the ideal of this." He smiled looking up, "Well haven't you thought about what we should do after we have the baby?" I laughed, "No, but if you say plan to have the next one I will seriously smack you." He rolled his eyes, "No not that I wasn't thinking about that too, but don't you think we'll get married after we have the baby?"

I paused, "I hadn't really thought about that." He smiled, "I know, but I did and I mean to me it doesn't sound to bad because now I can finally say to everyone she's mine not yours and I'll have a son or daughter to and we'll get a house and…" I cut him off, "Whoa slow down there Derek that's a lot to take in." He shrugged, "Yeah, but it sounds good right?"

I rubbed my head, "Derek didn't you start applying for hockey scholarships, you don't honestly think you can just skip college now do you?" He shrugged, "Well I mean I need to be with you and the baby so I was thinking yeah I would." I shook my head, "No Derek you're going if I can't go then you are going okay besides I read your mail last week and found something."

He frowned, "What, wait a minute how did you know I was applying for scholarships now that I think about it I didn't say anything to you about it." I nodded, "I know the mail was how I found out because you got accepted somewhere and for early admission."

He frowned shaking his head, "Early admission what does that mean?" I looked away for a second, "It means they want you to start training at the start of this summer get your housing in order and start attending next year on a full scholarship."

He laughed obviously forgetting about everything for a second, "That's great I mean that means I could just skip senior year and…" he frowned, "wait if its not here then that means I would be going somewhere else, but you, you…" I nodded, "I have to stay here and finish senior year."

He shook his head, "No I'm not going I'll find somewhere else because summer is really soon and that means I could be away when you have the baby and while you have it no that is not happening." I couldn't let him throw this away I pleaded, "Derek please at least think about it I mean I'll know a good time when I'm having it and I could tell you so you could take of time around those couple weeks and I could come see you every weekend before I had it and after I had it and then when I finished high school I could move up to where you were and…"

He cut me off, "No Casey I'm not leaving with you having my baby I won't do that to you." I sighed, "But Derek it's not doing anything to me, but promising a better life for me and a baby, with a college degree you could get a better job and everything."

He was angry now, but kept his voice low, "Fine then I'll get one after we finish senior year together." I rolled my eyes, "No Derek don't you see this is such an opportunity it's a fully paid scholarship and a head start, I mean it's going to be hard enough with you dealing with college and a baby, at least you could knock some of that time away with this."

He nodded angry, "Oh yeah so you mean you want me to run off to college while you stay here and be a mom in high school by yourself Casey, great idea," he said sarcastically. I sighed, "Derek please okay with luck my mom will be mad at first, but want to help then they could keep the baby while I go to school and then I cold come home take care of it and see you on weekends until I could finish high school and move to where you are."

He sat up getting a little angrier, "Casey do you even realize what your saying I mean do you honestly think you want to take on that sort of thing, I mean you would never get to do anything you'd be at school, or with the baby, or coming to see me, I can't let you just stop your life because of me."

I grabbed him begging him with my eyes, "Derek I wouldn't be stopping my life please do this for me, please it will work out like you said, just I need you to do this I want you to do this." He stared at me for a while and I could tell he wasn't going to say yes or no he then sighed angrily, "I'll think about it, but I can tell you right now I hate the idea, hate it."

I sighed realizing I wasn't going to get anything better, "Fine, but I like it and I think that they," I took his hand placing it on my stomach, "would like it too."

He looked down at his hand and then back up at me, "Wait can you feel it now or something," his tone was completely softer now. I shrugged, "Not really, but I do feel different I have felt different even after the test was negative and all." He smirked a little not moving his hand, "Do you know when we can really feel it?" I shrugged, "I don't know I guess when it grows more and starts kicking I've never done this before."

He laughed, "Well I knew that," he then paused, "Wait when it kicks it's kicking you so then would it be hurting you?" I smiled shaking my head, "No from what I've heard it feels like something inside you is tickling you and you get all happy and… I don't know it's just what I've heard." He smiled, "For a second there you almost let yourself sound as excited as I am… so thought of any names yet?"

I rolled my eyes, "Derek?" He laughed, "What do you think it will be a boy or a girl." I shrugged again, "I don't know either I guess I mean what are you hoping for?" He smiled shrugging, "I don't know I'll take either I mean they both sound great it's either going to be a Minnie me or a Minnie you." I laughed, "Oh great just what the world needs another little Derek Venturi I can see him hitting on the girls in the playground already." He playfully glared, "Yeah well I can see miniature Casey… getting all A's in school just like you so… yeah."

I laughed rolling my eyes, "Great comeback there Derek." He smirked playfully, "Shut up." I then smiled, "What if it is a girl, but she has your personality?" He laughed looking away, "Please all that would mean is she would be dating a bunch of guys and getting her first kiss at seve…." He turned to me suddenly going pale, "Wait you mean if it's a girl she'll date guys?"

I laughed, "Uh yeah when she gets older and when she's a teenager maybe she'll meet someone just like you." He looked more serious, "Like me, our daughter would date someone like me… uh no, no, no, no, no our daughter will not date period." I laughed, "Derek please calm down we might not even be having a girl geesh you sound like a protective father already."

He smiled laughing, "you just called me a father." I smiled cuddling up to him, "Yep you're going to be." He nodded speaking under his breath, "Yeah and right here at home."

"Derek! I heard that you said you would think about it!" I said sitting up.

He laughed nervously, "Oh um you must have heard wrong Casey sorry lay back down let's just get some rest okay?" I nodded laying down.

I then heard him speak under his breath again, "Geesh I knew they said pregnant woman get moody, but already…"

"Derek! I heard that too!"
