Hey guys! I know it's been like forever...and I am soooo sorry! Things have been so crazy...but here's the next chapter. It's short, but I knew I needed to give y'all something! Hope you like!

"I know you do, Derek, we all know you do."

"Okay well I'm very tired. I'm going to go to bed. Night."

"Goodnight, Derek."

Derek made his way up to his room as Edwin shook his head.

"He didn't even answer my question!" he said out loud.

"Casey...please, don't be that way. Don't say that. I know it'll be okay. You're pregnant, yes, but we'll make it. I didn't mean what I said."

"You didn't mean what you said, Derek? What does that mean? You said it. You must have meant it. Derek, I am pregnant! I'm ready to face this and keep our child. But you, you just want to kill it. Or give it away! Derek, for goodness sakes, we are engaged. It's not like we just met and had a one night stand. We're in love. And you are just saying that you didn't meant it because you know that's what I want to hear."

"Casey. I was scared. I still am. But I want this. I want to marry you right now."

"Derek, we shouldn't just rush into a wedding because we're having a baby. I want to wait until after I give birth to get married. And I'm still worried about what you said. I just don't know anymore."

"Don't say that, Case. I love you. God, do I love you."

"Let's just see how this pregnancy, Derek. I am not gonna promise you anything. I need time to think. I need time to-"

"Kids...George and I heard about the news. We think it's best for you to get married as soon as possible."

"Casey doesn't want-

"Okay mom! Derek and I will get married as soon as possible!"

"I love you, Case!"

Derek woke up, confused. His dreams had him more lost and uncertain than he had ever been before. His dream started out just like the real thing. But then, the ending was different. Casey had actually gone along with the wedding. Just like he wanted. Just like what should have happened. He blamed it all on his talk with Edwin last night.

Derek looked over at his alarm clock and groaned when he saw it only said 5:44 AM. He didn't want to go back to sleep to have to face those dreams again. So, he jumped out of bed and went to the room next door.

He slowly opened up Casey's door. Memories flooded through him as he took in the smell of her room. It still smelt the same as it did when they were in high school. He saw Casey and Daisy asleep in her bed. He had the sudden urge to go lay beside them. Instead, he walked over to the bed and kissed Daisy on the cheek. After, he bent down and kissed Casey on the lips.

Her eyes suddenly fluttered open.

"Wha...Derek? What are you doing here?" she said, her voice barely a whisper, not wanting to wake up her sleeping daughter.

Well, this should give you a little bit of insight on what happened between our lovely duo...and some plot thickening!! I will be updating soon!
