Next chapter. YES!!!!!!!!

Casey P.O.V.

"What do you mean?" Derek asked.

"I mean you got me pregnant thats why I left. Thats why I have two seven year old daughters. I have been so scared to tell you and now you know so there I faced the music now its your turn." I said then I walked into my room it was getting late so I called Crystal as the family entered the house. Bee woke up and went downstairs then Ash fallowed. Crystal picked up on the second ring.

"Hello-" I cut Crystal off quickly.

"Itoldhim." I said in a blur of words.

"What Casey please go slower." Crystal said in a panicked voice.

"I told him. I told Derek. He knows." Casey said and Crystal's end went into a silent freak out.

"Oh. My. God." were Crystal's last words in that conversation. So I walked down and suffered through dinner. Derek didn't look at me once he looked at Bee and Ashley then back on his food. I went straight to bed as did the girls after dinner. Bee on my right and Ash on my left I needed my girls.

The next morning I woke up at 5am and went to go get Jake from the airport. He found his luggage and I found him. We drove back to my parents place the ride was mostly silent since Ashley was still asleep at home. As soon as we parked I told him to go wake up Ashley while I got the bags. I heard yelling and then a scream. Then Ashley and Jake came running downstairs.

"Bee is in a bad mood. Can we ride outside mom?" Ashley asked and I nodded the headed out. I plopped on the couch sleep deprived when Derek walked in from somewhere in the kitchen. He sat down in his chair with cereal and turned on the T.V.

"Well good job mom of the year you made one child happy today now you just have to lug all the stuff upstairs keep and eye on three kids, make sure Bee doesn't commit suicide, and still find time to enjoy this little break." Derek said sarcastically.

"Well since I will always be an only parent because their father is an ass you can't step up to the plate, I have accepted my motherly status." I said and grabbed Jake's stuff before walking up stairs with it. I went into my room and dropped it there then I walked outside and told Ashley to entertain herself inside and I got in my car. Time to do some Christmas shopping. I knew the girls would be okay inside plus Crystal promised she would be home.

DEREK POINT OF VIEW.

Great Casey just stormed out and drove off. Great parenting. I grabbed my keys and drove to the mall I really want nachos and maybe I can take my mind off fathering and not treating the girl I love like shit for five seconds.

"Hey." I heard a very familiar voice say behind me then the next thing I knew Casey was sitting across from me holding a Parmesan big pretzel that she was dipping in mustard. That has always been her favorite food.

"Hi." I responded. When I really just wanted to kiss her, but I knew I couldn't. Life keeps getting in the way.

"I'm sorry even though it really is all your fault." Casey said and I couldn't help but laugh. Thats what she said after our first fight as an actual couple.

"Its always my fault." I said and she smiled before taking a drink of her smoothie and eating some pretzel. "Shit."
I grabbed Casey's hand and bolted towards a store then we hid in a dressing room.

"Derek what is your problem?" Casey asked opening her purse to make sure nothing fell out as we were running.

"I saw Emily." I said.

"Cool. Lets go talk to her." Casey said and I pulled her back into the dressing room and locked it.

"Lets not." I said and Casey looked confused. "Ya know how Emily used to have this large crush on me? Yea well I decided to give her a chance after she broke my relationship with this blonde chick. Big mistake. It ended badly and now she thinks we are still together when I keep breaking up with her so now whenever I see her I duck and run."

"Oh. Well any way I can help?" Casey asked and I nodded. I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the dressing room as soon as I saw Emily coming towards me I pulled Casey into me and kissed her hard she kissed back. I forgot how good Casey's lips feel against mine. I slowly pushed her back into the dressing room and shut the door. I sat on the bench and pulled Casey on top of me she straddled me and we kept kissing.

Casey Point of View.

Oh my god. It feels so right I never want to stop kissing him its like a drug to me. His kisses are so warm but hard and very skilled. I moaned as his warm lips touched my neck he smiled into my flesh. I wanted him so bad. I pulled his lips back up to mine and I took charge I put my hands under his shirt and ran my nails up and down his chest he moaned softly and rubbed up my thigh and under my skirt. His warm hands made my moan. Then we heard a knock at the door.

"Um.. occupied." I choked out then got off Derek as much as I didn't want to. I looked straight into his eyes as he looked into mine. He stood and our chests were squished together in the small dressing room our eyes still locked. "That was so hard." I said and his eyes didn't move from mine as he responded.

"What part hard?" he asked.

"When I had to stop knowing we can't be together knowing that the kiss we just shared can never happen again." I said and walked out. I got in my car and drove to the old park. No one comes here anymore and growing up I used to come here all the time when I was mad at Derek. I would sit on the swings and they somehow took all the pain and erased it forever. This is my escape from Derek. My place to hate him, my place to love him, my place to cry over him and everything about him. I came here when I found out I was pregnant, when Derek called me a bitch for the first time, our first fight and our last kiss. This park is all mine and I can be mad I can be sad. Its my choice. I have never told anyone about this place and I never will no one has ever come with me when I vent here. Today I just cried for what felt like eternity when it was really only about two hours. My girls need me. I need them. So I drove home only to find the entire family outside on roller blades playing street hockey. The first team wearing all blue was, Lizzie, my mom, George, and Edwin. The next team in all red was, Derek, Ash, Jake, Marti.

Bee was painting her nails while on her cell phone sitting on the lawn watching. I pulled up. And got out the game went on pause for a sec.

"Hey honey." my mom greeted when I walked up to her.

"Hey mom what are you guys doing?" I asked

"We are playing street hockey we just started though and Bee has been waiting she really wanted to play but we had an uneven team number please play." my mom said and I shook my head. Everyone walked over to me since they saw me shake my head except Derek who stayed a safe distance away. It doesn't make him less hot. It makes him more hot if at all possible. They begged and pleaded and I caved. I was on Derek's team unfortunately they needed another player and every other team was filled to the brim. Plus Ashley really wanted me on her team and I can't resist her puppy pout.

"Okay team, Ashley on my right Jake left. Casey what can you do?" Derek asked me while I was spacing out. Derek waited a minute. "Hey Space Case got an answer?"

"Huh? Wha?" I asked disoriented.

"What can you do Space?" Derek asked. Again.

"Um nothing. I have never done this before. I am a dancer, not a hockey player." I responded annoyed.

"I have no idea how someone so clumsy can be a good dancer but hey its your life. Your goalie all you have to do is make sure the puck doesn't go in the goal very simple. Marti try to defend Casey." Derek said and I took my position. On the other team was, Lizzie as forward, George as goalie, Edwin on Lizzie's right, and Bee on her left, then my mom defending George. The game started I just waited in the goalie section while they played then I soon found myself day dreaming again.

Me and Derek were on the beach I was on his lap and we were watching the sunset.

"I love you Casey." he whispered into my ear.

"I love you too Derek." I said.

"Marry me." Derek said boldly.

"Yes." I said and we kissed passionately. When we broke I just stared at him taking him in.

"Your my Casey. Mine." he said like I was a possession and for once I didn't find it degrading I found it flattering and I sense of love washed through me. He hugged me close. I breathed him in. the sent of his cologne, mixed with the smell of soap, and sweat. To me it smelt perfect. He kissed me again. Then the setting changed. I was in a field looking around and Derek ran up behind me and picked me up I started laughing.

"Your amazing Casey." he said and I giggled more then looked over my shoulder and gave him a quick kiss. We fell into the soft grass and I just laid by each other for hours. Just being together.

Then I was awakened from my day dream by a large hit to the head by the puck. Next thing I new Derek was telling me to wake up.

"Wake up Casey." Derek said and I opened my eyes my head hurt a lot.

"What happened my head hurts." I said and he laughed.

"Your a horrible goalie. The puck came flying at you we all said to duck but you just stood there I think you were spacing out. Everyone is in bed already I stayed up with you since it was partially my fault you were hit. You were asleep for a while." Derek said in a sweet caring voice. He was sitting by my head on the couch so I moved up so that my head was in his lap. I looked up at him.

"Thanks for staying up Derek and prompting me to wake up." I said. He started to play with my hair.

"Its okay Casey. What were you spacing about anyways." I sighed I could lie and say puppies or tell him the truth.

"You and me on a beach." I said and looked at him he looked to sweet looking down at me. I closed my eyes. "Kissing." I said and opened them and looked at him he wore a smirk. But he still looked sweet. "And then we were in a field kissing, and laying in the grass together." I sat up next to him. He leaned over and kissed me he held the back of my head to deepen the kiss and I kissed back, it was better than my day dream. He pulled apart from me. I looked into his eyes.

"Why do we have to be so hard?" he asked.

"I wish we could just be together. No problem, but I have girls and my mom and George. I just want to be yours I want you to be mine I want to kiss you and wake up everyday and see your face. I want to lay by you at night and just be with you. I want everything that has you involved I want you I need you. I am totally and completely in love with you. I miss fighting and screaming and kissing in the rain." I said.

"I am in love with you too Casey I want that to. I want to have our heated angry sex, then the make up sex and wake up with my arms around you smelling your vanilla shampoo. I miss the fights and the love. Casey we will make it work but I can't watch you leave again." he said but I shook my head he grabbed my chin I made me look into his eyes I could see it. The sincerity.

"Are you ready to be a father? Are you ready to take it seriously? Settle down. Tell our parents the girls are yours and not the result of some sex scandal in which I choose to move from?" I asked and I looked into his eyes I could see that he was unsure.

"If it means having you every second of my life. Then yes. The girls are fantastic I love them already and as for settling down, I can't imagine anyone better to do it with. As for telling our parents lets do it after Christmas and our sex is always scandalous." he smirked and I slapped his arm. I laughed too though. Then he yawned and I remembered its like midnight.

"I think its time for bed." I said and I grabbed his arm and led him upstairs to his room. I laid down on his bed and he laid next to me. I put my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. We fell asleep quickly. I had the best sleep I have gotten since I got pregnant. He makes me feel so safe all my worries just melt away. The next morning I woke to Derek stroking back my hair gently he kissed my head and my eyes opened. He looked so amazing. "I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too. We should probably get up before anyone suspects anything." Derek whispered back and I groaned but got up anyways. I walked downstairs and there was a note on the last step. I grabbed it.

Casey,

Took everyone to breakfast after George burned ours into gross black stuff

I hope you and Derek can survive together in a house.

DON'T BREAK ANYTHING!!!!

Ashley said that you like to sleep in so I decided not to wake you.

She also said you were in your bed all night tossing and turning, but stopped me

when I went to look. I was worried but she said you'd be okay. Bridget agreed with her

and so did Jake.

-------------------------- love you tons Baby---mom.

I walked back into Derek's room he had his shirt off so I decided to sneak up behind him before he could put one on. I put my arms around him from the back and he laughed I was pretty small compared to him since he is taller than me and way muscular, but whatever. He turned around and put his arms around my waist and I put my hands around his neck.

"They are defiantly your children." I said and Derek looked confused I showed him the note. He read it and laughed.

"They are. Mainly Ashley." He said and I laughed. "Bee is more you."

"But............" I prompted.

"But I love them both and you." he said and I hugged him tight to me he was so warm and comforting.

"There is one more condition that may change but is in stone for now. Crystal will still live with me so you may see her or Ralph if this works out, on a daily basis. I need to know you can handle it." I said into his chest.

"Yes. Crystal is cool and Ralph is my best friend. Sam has been so distant since he married Marrissa and I think they have a kid. He didn't even invite me to the wedding, they invited all her friends and he invited some of his co workers but not his best friend he even invited Ralph before me but Ralph didn't go out of respect for me." he said and I felt bad for him, Sam was his best friend and it always hurts to loose one no matter what. I felt the same when I lost Emily, but I have Crystal so I don't really need her and I love Crystal way more.

"I'm sorry Derek if it helps I didn't go either. He invited me on the girls birthday and I just couldn't make it plus I had to work out this case and my boss wouldn't let me leave L.A." I responded and he stiffened up.

"Wait if we get together I will have to live in L.A.??" Derek asked.

"Yes with me and the girls is something wrong?" I asked I thought he guessed he would come there I mean I can't move here I have a job and I guess it is difficult for him to leave a job he has here.

"I just opened my own film company and I am still on the Leafs team is there anyway you could move up here? You have so many degrees and experience from things that I am sure you could get a job up here and I am not saying your job isn't important but this way we would be closer to the family and I would be able to do my movie and you could easily get a job up here. Then we could get a house and things too. We have plenty of money and I can end my lease on my town house then you could sell your house and we will use the money to buy a new house up here." he explained

okay that was my next chapter so I hope you enjoy knowing me I will put another twist to prevent them from having a good life. I am mean. ---kisses---ema----
