She fell onto her bed and willed back the tears. She wasn't for sure what she was going to do. How was this going effect her and Derek's new found relationship. Only a few months into it and she was pregnant. They hadn't even said they loved each other. She wasn't even sure if they loved each other. Then the next question: How was she going to tell everyone? She and Derek hadn't even told the family about them yet wanting to savor in the newness. She knew that they would be accepting of the relationship. They had said so when she and Derek first started becoming friends. But a baby?

Flashback: 3 years earlier

"Casey, I know you and Derek don't always get along..."

"That's an understatement." Casey mumbled, interrupting Nora.

"Just hear me out for a moment. George and I have noticed that you two have been making progress and not fighting all the time. We have also notice that you are spending more time together. We want to let you know that if you two ever start to have.. well... feelings for one another... you know other then sibling love..."

"EWWEEE.. ewe...MOM!! What?! Where did that even COME from?!" Casey shrieked. Then she she slowly started to breathe more calmly, and continued, "I know Derek and I are playing nice but I assure you that it ends with tolerating one another and occasionally hanging out when both of us are desparate"

"Case, I understand that, but this things do happen and I wanted to let you know somethings feelings develop and thats normal. There's no blood relationship between you two and if you two start to feel that way, George and I want you to feel free to come to us and not feel ashamed and hide it."

"Trust me, not going to happen, Mom. Thanks for the most disturbing talk I have ever had."

Later

"So Spacey. Nora give you the if things happen talk?"

"Yeah. I guess George got you, huh?"

"Yup, creepy. Right?"

"Agreed."

Back to Present

Casey somehow managed to laughed at the memory. Somehow their parents had foreseen what she and Derek had not. Granted it had taken 3 years, a lot of shoulder crying over boyfriends, a lot of ice-cream and mid-night talks. She and Derek had first kissed right before graduation. She had just broke with Jake after finding out he was cheating on her. Sure she had known it for awhile but it still hurt. Derek had been there, telling her Jake was an asshole and how he didn't deserve her. Casey laughed and told Derek he was just being nice and she would be okay. Before she realized what she was doing, she leaned in and kissed him. She had felt scared (about what his reaction would be), exhilarated (at the fact she was kissing him), shocked (that she was exhilarated), and happy (that she realized that Derek was kissing her back). They talked all night, about taking things slowly and dating throughout the summer, then seeing where things would go when college came about. They talked about when they would tell Nora and George and the kids. Then they kissed some more and then the taking it slowly turned in to going a little faster then expected. Now two months after graduation and a month before college started, Casey found herself staring at two pink lines.
