Authors Note: Okay first off thanks to all the awesome reviewers it means a lot! Second you guys are probably wondering why it took me so long to update, right? Well there are a few reasons, first I had so much stuff to do dealing with my personal life, second a ton of stuff dealing with everything else I do involving Dasey (youtube, other fanfiction, icons, livejournal, etc.), and last for a few days now fanfiction has not been sending anything to anyone. That includes story alerts, review alerts, or anything. So basically I wasn't going to update until that was sorted out, so I hope you understand. Okay onto the next subject, now lately in reviews I have been getting a lot of corrections and things. That is totally fine and everything, I try to proof read as best I can, but I usually update all my stories when I finish them very lately at night. Actually more in the morning like one, two, or three, in the morning. So please consider that. I'm still deciding, but I may select one beta reader and send them my chapter first, let them proof read it and send it back, and then put up the chapter. Please don't ask to do this I'll ask you and you may accept or decline because there are guidelines for this on the site. Other than that enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Bump

No One's POV

It had been about a week Casey was still in the hospital. Derek stayed with her at every moment and refused to go to school or leave Casey's side. Casey used her choosing in visitors at this time to her advantage, just in case Derek's little remark to her father had reached her mother and George. Luckily they found Casey's dad had to return home that day, but was coming back the day Casey came home. Derek agreed to take Casey home by himself so he left early that morning before Casey was awake. He however was in a rush because Casey had also secretly scheduled her first sonogram before she went home.

Casey's POV

I woke-up feeling sick to my stomach. I was used to it by now, but getting to the toilet was harder than I thought when it came to bending down with crutches. I sat up looking around; Derek must have already left to go get his car and stuff. It felt weird he wasn't here I mean for the past week he has refused to let me out of his sight. I laughed a little, he even insisted on me not using crutches, but letting him either carry me or put me in a wheelchair. I of course objected, I was nervous about him a little, it was like he thought I was breakable or something.

I laughed a little again, he had also took on asking my nurse question after question about babies. I thought it was weird at first when they started calling each other by first names, but she was sweet so I guess it was good he was curious. I took a hand to my mouth, okay I definitely am getting sick now. I turned to my side to reach for my crutches, but found I was only getting air.

I looked across the room to see them there, crap. I put my hand to my mouth again starting to really feel sick, I need a bathroom now. I slowly put my feet down on the floor, but didn't apply pressure to them yet. When I did I let out a loud shriek with pain, "Ahh!" I quickly leaned backwards so I wouldn't fall and grabbed my stomach. It didn't hurt, but it was something I had been doing lately, my nurse Fran told me it was my maternal instinct.

I soon felt someone at my side, I looked up to see Fran. She looked at me worried, "Now child what did you think you were doing getting up by yourself? Honestly imagine if you would have fell and then Derek would have gotten back and literally lost it if you or your baby got hurt."

She looked at me waiting for an explanation. I sighed a little still feeling sick, "I'm sorry it's just I felt sick and my crutches are over there and…"

She smiled a little, "Oh honey all you had to do was call for me, now come on I'll help you to the bathroom," she then laughed a little, "After all if you don't make it, it's me that cleans it up."

She helped me in there and I felt relief when I could finally give in to my baby sickness. I had learned to hold my hair the right way by myself, but still Derek and Fran always insisted on doing it for me so finally I gave in. When I was done I sat down against the wall and she handed me a toothbrush so I could feel less icky. She then helped me up and started smiling to laugh a little.

I shot her a confused look, "What is it?" She smiled nodding, "I told Derek you were growing a little everyday and one day it would show the first small, but bump and here it is."

My eyes got huge, "I have a bump," I put my hand on my stomach feeling around, it felt really small, but noticeable if I wore tight clothes. She helped me over to a mirror and I examined myself, pulling my hospital gown tighter around me.

I turned to Fran in a panic, "I can't have a bump Fran, I'm not ready for a bump… I mean a bump, small maybe, but still a bump people are going to notice at school and my parents… I haven't told my parents yet now they're going to see and be mad I didn't tell them and… and…" I had started screaming, but Fran kept her calm.

She then rubbed my arm, "Oh child calm down please everything will work out, it's just a small bump, please don't freak Casey." I couldn't help it I was totally past freaking out, and my screaming started to get louder and louder.

"My mom was going to flip when she heard, but now seeing it before than is going to make it so much worse and my dad is coming back today! And Lizzie, Marti, and Edwin they will see too! I don't think they'll be mad, but I wanted to tell them myself not just be like surprise! I wanted to have a heart to heart talk about it explaining how things happen and stuff, but now, but now…"

Fran kept trying to calm me down and let me sit down on the bathroom floor, luckily it was clean and private since it was in my room.

I turned to her again grabbing her arm, "Fran what am I going to do I mean it's a bump! A bump! A bump!" She patted my arm, "I know sweetie I see now you need to calm down before you have a panic attack."

I shook my head, "I can't calm down it's a bump! A bump… A bump…" I just kept repeating those words as if I was in a trance. I didn't even realize how long it had been until there was a knock on the door and I was still repeating, "A bump."

Fran got up, "Sweetie please try to find different words and calm down it's going to be okay. I'll be right back."

I didn't acknowledge this because it was like I only heard it as a background noise. All I could do was keep saying, "A bump."

Derek's POV

When I got back I couldn't find Casey, but the door was shut so I knocked. She had been very touchy lately, but Fran her nurse told me it was the pregnancy mood swings. I stepped back as the door opened, but only Fran stepped out closing it behind her.

I looked a little alarmed, "Is everything okay? Where's Casey?" She looked up leaning against the door, "Yes everything is fine and Casey's in the bathroom having a little situation at the moment."

I frowned, "Situation? What kind of a situation is she okay? Is the baby okay? What's happening," I moved to call through the door, "Casey?"

Fran sighed, "Everything is okay she's just freaking out a little about something she discovered this morning."

I frowned in confusion, "Like what, what did she discover? Is it bad can I see her or…"

She smiled giggling a little, "Oh yes you can see her and I have a feeling you might take the little surprise differently than Casey." She held up a hand, "Okay look let's not go barging in on her so why don't you try getting her to talk first, through the door."

I nodded moving closer to the door, but then turned back to Fran, "She's not talking?" She bit her bottom lip, "Well she's talking, but just two… oh just get her to talk to you Derek."

I lightly knocked on the door, "Casey it's me Derek… Are you there?" I could hear her whispering over and over to herself, but I couldn't make out what she was saying. I knocked a little again, "Case I'm coming in now, okay?" All I heard was the whispering so I slowly opened the door, not waiting for a response.

I looked in and Casey was sitting on the floor whispering to herself, I still couldn't make out exactly what though. I tried concentrating only on her face to solve the puzzle, but she was almost mumbling which made it hard to read her lips.

She then slowly looked up a blank look on her face, "We're dead." I frowned in confusion, but laughed a little, "What are you talking about, look I know we're seeing our parents and telling them today, but like I said everything is going to be okay," I reached out to touch her hands which she had holding her stomach.

She looked up again shaking her head, "We won't need to tell them, they're going to know as soon as they see us." I started to laugh, "Casey look our parents I admit are good, but not that goo…" she held up her hands and I trailed off at what I saw.

I reached my hand out to touch, "A bump," I said quietly not removing my stare from it. It was very small and could be hidden under loose clothes, but she had a bump. I suddenly felt a small smile brace my lips as I ran my hands over it. I then started to laugh a little placing both hands on it and looked back up at Casey smiling, "It's a bump."

Casey looked at me not smiling in the least. She than spoke very seriously and worried, "Derek I can't have a bump we haven't told anyone yet, now they'll know before we get to tell them," she screamed in a whisper.

I laughed again, for some reason I couldn't think of anything bad, but the fact that something I created was growing in Casey and everything to do with her and the baby were okay and healthy. I smiled at her bringing one of my hands to her cheek, "Casey who cares how they find out, I mean I actually think this way is easier, but if you really still would rather me tell them, then just wear loose clothes I promised you I'd tell them and I will, this doesn't change anything."

She stared into my eyes for a while and I couldn't figure what she was looking for, but then suddenly she let a small smile brace her lips. She then nodded, "Okay." I smiled laughing and looking back down at it, "I can't believe you already have a bump."

She smiled a little placing her own hands on mine, "Well at least I got something to show for all my awful Side effects." I laughed under my breath, "Not to mention the mood swings." I slowly looked up smiling to see if she had heard and I knew she did when she raised her eyebrow playfully glaring at me.

We then both smiled at each other until there was a knock on the open door. I turned around and Casey looked up to see Fran smiling at us. Casey smiled, "Fran what is it?"

Fran smiled looking down at our hands on Casey's bump and then smiled sweetly back at us, "Sorry to interrupt, but Casey sweetie your sonogram you scheduled today well the doctor is ready for you."

Casey smiled, but I could tell she was a little nervous, "Oh, okay sure umm I'm ready to I guess do I have to go alone or?"

Fran smiled, "Not unless you want to, but I have a feeling Derek might want to go as well, the fathers usually do." I smiled to myself just like I always did when anyone referred to me using the word father.

Casey looked at me, "Can you come with me?" She was asking me as if she was almost pleading as if I would say no or something. I smiled leaning in and placing a small kiss on her lips, she kissed back and then I gently pulled away. I then smiled, "I told you I want to be with you for everything, let's go."

She smiled and I helped her up then reached for her crutches. She smiled positioning herself on them and taking a deep breath, "I'm ready." Even though she was on crutches I kept one hand on the small of her back. I turned back to Fran, "Lead the way."

She smiled nodding and we followed her down a couple of halls until we came to the right room. Fran leaned in the door saying something and then smiled coming out, "The doctor will see you now."

We walked in to a smaller room than most, but then again it didn't need much. It basically consisted of the sonogram machine and a counter with other stuff. In a chair looking at a chart was a male doctor. He looked rather young and I wasn't so sure at the fact he was male, I mean wouldn't she be more comfortable with a female doctor or something?

Casey's POV

When we walked in I couldn't help, but sense how cold the room was. I was used to how most of the hospital was cold now, but walking around in a hospital gown never helped too much on that factor.

A young looking male doctor looked up from a chart when Derek and I stepped in. He stood up smiling a little, "Ms. McDonald?"

I smiled slightly nodding, "That's me." He smiled nodding and turning to the counter getting things out. He then spoke with his back to us, "Ms. McDonald I'll have you lay down right over here," he motioned towards the platform next to the sonogram machine.

I nodded and Derek helped me over taking my crutches and helping me lie down. The doctor walked over towards us and looked at Derek, "You're the father of the baby I presume?"

I looked up at Derek and he nodded crossing his arms. He was so hard to read sometimes it wasn't even funny. The doctor smiled, "Very well have a seat right there," he motioned towards a chair on the opposite side of the doctor's chair, both on the sides of the platform I was on.

The doctor smiled down at me, "Okay Ms. McDonald your charts tell me this is your first time with a sonogram procedure." I just nodded and he smiled setting down my chart.

He then turned back to me, "Okay now I'm going to need raise your gown up stopping at your breast, okay?" I could almost hear Derek grinding his teeth, he had been very uneasy about any male, doctor or not, touching me lately since what happened with Max.

I slowly nodded again and he smiled reaching for my gown and pulling it up to where he said. I tried my best to remain calm Derek wasn't the only one who got cautious on stuff like this. I guess Max had left a mark on me too.

The doctor smiled, "Okay your good now in order to give you the sonogram I need to put this on your stomach its going to feel like jelly and it will be a little cold," he turned around to get it.

He came back and squirted a big glob of the jelly on my stomach and then took the machine rubbing it around. He smiled pointing to the screen, "Okay give it a minute… and there's…. oh wait… okay right there is your baby," he smiled looking back at me.

I looked at the screen where he was pointing and smiled laughing a little, "That's the baby it' doesn't look like a baby." The doctor smiled down at me, "Well that's because it's not fully developed, you see when you come in you will find in later visits it will look more like a baby, and on one you will even be able to determine the sex of the baby."

I smiled looking at it again and then at Derek who was leaning over by me looking at it as well. He, of course, was smiling like he did with anything to do with the baby now. I felt him gently squeeze my hand and I giggled a little looking back up at the screen. It looked as if the tiny thing, my baby, was moving around a little, but I couldn't feel anything right now.

The doctor smiled back down at me, "Now I need to ask if you two will want pictures of every sonogram, it is often custom of parents so they can see the baby growing." Derek raised his eyebrow, "Pictures of the baby, not born yet?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes they look more like ex-ray's, but pictures of the unborn baby is what I meant." I turned to Derek, "Do we want pictures?" Derek smiled, "I guess we want pictures, do you want pictures."

I smiled laughing a little, "I guess." I turned back to the doctor, "Okay we'll get them." He smiled, "Good now all I need is for Mr. Venturi to step out of the room for a moment, due to the machine and how it works."

I turned back to Derek who had an expression I couldn't read. He then looked at me kissed me on my cheek and got up crossing his arms walking out. The doctor smiled, "Okay now taking the pictures will only take a moment."

Derek's POV

I was standing outside the sonogram room still waiting for Casey. When I checked my watch it said it had only been a few minutes, but it pretty much felt like hours. I tapped my hand against my leg looking around. There wasn't much to look at considering it was a hospital and we were in a boring area. My pocket started vibrating and I reached down for my phone.

I answered with a sigh, "Hello?" I heard Hallie on the other end, "Derek okay good I finally got a hold of you. So everyone's wondering if Casey is still coming home today we really want to see her," she said getting more excited by every word.

I sighed, "Um today probably wouldn't be so good Hallie." I heard her sigh, "Why not?" Oh because after I tell our parents I impregnated Casey I may be dead. I sighed again running my fingers through my hair, "Well because today just isn't so good okay."

I heard Hallie talking to someone else and then some muffling on the phone. I then heard Jaci, "Derek look we get you're looking out for Casey, but you've kept her to yourself all week practically we want to see her today." I rolled my eyes, "Look Jaci there are some things going on you don't understand right now so for once I just need you all to let us get back to you, okay!"

The phone got silent and then there was more muffling and then Reed, "Dude you're freaking the girls out, what is going on?"

I sighed, "Look I promise Casey and I will understand everything I just need you guys to let it rest for a while, can you please do that, for me, for Casey?" It was silent for a while and then I heard Reed sigh, "Fine okay anything else?"

I smirked, "Yeah uh I need one more favor, from you, Skyler, Tristan, Logan, and Caleb, oh also call my buddy Ralph… I have something I'll need your help with."

I could hear the confusion in Reed's voice, "Why do you need that many of us? What is this for Derek?" I smirked leaning against the wall, "Just something I need to take care of, I've tried doing it just myself in the past, but that didn't work. I have a feeling this will though, so I'll get back to you thanks man."

I heard Reed laugh, "Hey no problem sounds like fun just give me a call. Oh and we'll make sure you don't get any surprise visits today from Hallie or Jaci, heck they might even try to sneak Nikki over."

I nodded, "Thanks later," I then hung up the phone. I looked back at the door just in time for it to open. It was the doctor he looked at me, "Mr. Venturi we're through you can pick up the baby's pictures at the nurse station, now if you'll excuse me," he walked out and I opened the door all the way.

Casey was sitting up pulling her gown back down. I smiled walking in and helping her, "You okay?" She smiled, "A little cold, but other than that yeah." I smiled taking off my jacket and wrapping it around her. She smiled leaning her head against my chest for a minute, "I love you."

I smiled, "I love you too." She laughed pulling away, "So I guess I can go get my stuff and we can go home now?" I nodded breathing in deeply, "Yeah I guess." She nodded, "So that means when we get there…"

I nodded, "I'll tell them, I was thinking you wear loose clothes home I'll get you upstairs and then face the lions." Casey shook her head, "No I want to be there when you tell them now I think. We did this together so we'll take the heat together."

I nodded a little surprised at her newly found bravery on the subject. I nodded, "Okay, but Casey you do realize your dad's going to be there to and he may have told them about what I said, I don't know what's going to happen I mean last time I saw him I was pretty sure he wanted to attack me."

She reached a hand up to my cheek, "Just promise me something." I nodded, "Sure anything." She sighed, "No matter what my dad or your dad says about you or me for that matter don't get into a fight with them, a real fight I mean."

I frowned, "Come on Casey you don't actually think I'd take a punch at my dad or your dad do you?" Casey sighed, "I'm not saying you would just promise me Derek, please no matter how bad your temper gets, promise me." I sighed rolling my eyes, "Fine I promise."

She smiled, "Good now can you please help me back to my room so I can get my own clothes on." She laughed a little, "Seriously when there's a big slit in you gown down the back you can't help, but get the feeling everyone's staring at your butt."

I frowned, "Who was staring at your butt? She laughed, "Derek." I smirked, "What?" She rolled her eyes laughing and then I helped her back on her crutches and then helped her to her room.

I helped her put on a pair of sweat pants and then a larger sweat shirt so it hid her bump and she was content. We then gathered up her stuff said goodbye to Fran when she brought us the pictures and went down getting her and everything in the car.

I turned to her when we pulled into our driveway, "Are you ready?" She kept her gaze forward and I slipped my hand in hers. She turned towards me and I nodded, "Casey everything is going to be okay." She nodded slowly and then fell onto my chest laying her head on my shoulder and whispering, "I'm scared Derek."

I nodded rubbing her back, "I know, but don't you be scared Casey because I'm here and I'm not going to let anyone blame you."

She pulled away from me, "But Derek it was my fault maybe more than yours." I shook my head holding her cheek with my hand, "No Casey stop it no matter what they say or how bad I want you to know nothing is your fault, okay?" She looked away and I turned her back towards me, "Okay?" She looked down and then slowly back up, "Okay."

I sat back a little, "Okay now we're going to go in say hello first. Then I called and all the other kids are out of the house so it's just going to be your mom, my dad, and your dad there." Casey nodded slowly and then sat up a little, "How are you going to say it?" I looked at her, "I have no idea I figure their going to sit us down to talk about some rules since they know we're together and all so then we let them talk first and then we tell them."

She nodded, "What do you think they'll say?" I shrugged, "I have no idea I've never actually had to have this talk with my parents yet." She nodded, "Me neither."

I exhaled, "Okay let's go." She nodded and I got out getting her bag out of the trunk and opening her door for her. I slung her duffle bag over my shoulder and helped her out of the car letting her hobble holding onto my shoulder and carrying her crutches since she couldn't get up the stairs in them yet.

Casey's POV

I leaned against Derek as he helped me up the stairs. He had his arm wrapped protectively around me and I had a feeling it would remain there for a while. Especially when we told our parents about well us having a baby I guess is the way to say it.

Derek opened the door and set my stuff and crutches down then helped me inside. We both looked into the family room to see my dad and George. They looked up at us and then my mom walked in with coffee in her hands.

She smiled instantly setting it down and running over to me, "Casey sweetie your home, oh I'm so happy I feel like I haven't seen you in forever! And you're okay! Oh I was so, so worried honey!" She said hugging me tightly.

I smiled hugging her back, but after a while I grunted, "Mom? Mom I had broken ribs remember?" She smiled letting go and I instantly felt Derek wrap his own arm around me again. My mom smiled, "Right I forgot, I'm just so glad you're finally home and away from that awful hospital, let's hope you don't have to go back there anytime soon," she laughed and I bit my bottom lip…Sooner than you think mom, sooner than you think.

My mom then smiled motioning towards my dad and George, "You guys look who's home." I looked over at George and my dad. George of course smiled waving at me, "I'm glad you're okay Casey."

I then looked at my dad who was giving me a look. I smiled nervously, "Hi dad." He nodded, not smiling, "Hello Casey." I looked down and I felt Derek's eyes on me as the room got uncomfortably quiet.

I then heard my mom, "Well why don't we all sit down," I looked up to see she was smiling halfway, "After all I'm sure you two have lots to tell us." I laughed sarcastically in my mind, yeah you don't know the half of it.

Nora motioned for everyone to sit down at the table. My dad, Nora, and George sat on the opposite side of Derek and I. I was still avoiding eye contact from my dad, but I knew he was sending me or Derek his look that I just couldn't take right now.

It got quiet again and then George spoke up, "So you two are… Nora what's the right word?" My mom looked up at George and then smiled over at me, "Together George I think that would be the right word."

Okay can you say awkward? George nodded, "When did this happen?" I looked up, "We started to get closer after Sam died." My mom nodded, "I see so you two were official before or after Miami?"

My dad looked up, "Miami?" he was frowning. My mom looked over to him opening her mouth, but it seemed Derek found his first. He looked at my dad his expression blank, "Yes Nora and my dad sent us to Miami for winter break as a Christmas present."

Before my dad could say anything my mom smiled, "Yes after everything that happened we decided they needed to get away, they met some nice new friends on their trip too."

My dad nodded and then looked at my mom frowning again, "Okay I understand all of that it's just I'm confused how Casey and Derek got together I mean last I talked to Nora Casey was going to some person named Max was calling for her."

I bit my bottom lip and then looked up finally looking my dad in the eye, "Max was calling for me, but I didn't want Max I want Derek." I could see Derek smirking out of the corner of my eye, but I kept my focus on my dad at the moment.

My mom looked over at Derek and smiled, but now sounded a little sympathetic, "That reminds me Derek I think I owe you an apology." My dad and George along with Derek and I all looked surprised.

Derek raised his eyebrow, "About what?" My mom folded her hands on the table and looked up at Derek, "Well you see after Sam… well passed away and you and Casey became closer I started to worry… I mean Casey wouldn't talk to anyone, but you. Now I know it was because you two well shared more than a love for Sam, but a love for each other, and I'm sorry I just wanted for Casey to be happy and at the time I thought I knew more than I did. I was wrong."

I found myself smiling, "Thanks mom." Derek smiled nodding, "Yeah thanks." I had to say I really underestimated my mom, but then again when it came down to it my mother always was a romantic. She used to love to tell me stories when I was little about star crossed lovers with so many obstacles in their path. I guess she was trying to look at this that way too.

George laughed a little, "I do admit the circumstances of the situation are a little interesting." My mom smiled, "Well our family is known for being interesting after all."

It got quiet again and I could tell my dad was about to say something. I nudged Derek and he looked up. Derek cleared his throat, "Umm Casey and I have some more news."

My mom looked up smiling, but surprised looking, "Oh more news, oh… okay what is it?"

Derek's POV

I felt Casey clinging to my side more than ever now, she was actually starting to hurt me, but no way was I pushing her away now. I was staring into Nora's eyes while she sat there waiting for an answer. I felt my dad's eyes on us and Casey's dad giving me a hard glare. I wished it was just Casey's dad I could tell him no problem because to be honest I didn't care what he thought about it. My dad was always disappointed in me so I could tell him simpler too.

But there was something in Nora's eyes that made me not want to say it. I mean sure Nora wasn't my mom and had tried to keep Casey away from me up until now, but she apologized. She did it because she was scared of loosing her daughter, to me.

But she aside from my dad and Casey's dad was willing more than ever if we were both happy then to let us be together. She was putting her daughter in my hands and I'm about to tell her I got her daughter pregnant. How do I say that to her?

Everything she thought about me she would have to change because let's face it I'm probably ruining Casey's life when I got her pregnant. Casey had been talking about me going to college, but what about her? She was the one who worked for that sort of thing her whole life, but now she sounded as if she would never do it. I had taken that from her and her senior year in high school would be spent being a mom.

How do you tell the person, you love the most, mother that you ruined her daughter's life? Tell me how do you look her in the eye and let all of her dreams for Casey flood out the window in a matter of seconds, in a matter of simple words. How do I do that, and fast because she's still waiting for an answer?

The room was silent and Nora smiled looking worried, "Well Derek, what is it?" I felt Casey's eyes on me and I now understood more than ever why she was freaking out about telling them.

I looked down, "Umm I don't know any other way to say this other than how I'm going to say it so…" My dad cut me off laughing nervously, "Well son spit it out already."

I looked up slowly finding my eyes on Nora again. I spoke in a low tone, "I got Casey pregnant."
