UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! ;D

"You're still so careless. Have you not grown up at all? Marti, being sixteen, is more mature than you. God, grow up! You have a child, for crying out loud! Or have you forgotten?"

Derek was mad. Very mad. Of course he knew he had a daughter. He's had one for almost six years. He was mature. He always paid child support on time, and gave them extra money too. He was always there on time to pick up Daisy. He had kept himself healthy and made sure not to get hurt so he could still play for the Canucks. He made sure that no matter what both Daisy and Casey had a nice place to live and food. If something were to happen to Casey's job, then they would still be fine. Derek made sure of that.

"Casey Alexandra McDonald! How dare you? How dare you say that I'm not mature or that I forgot about my child. I do everything in my power to make sure she is taken care of. I love that little girl more than anything. God, Casey, why do you always have to put it over my head that it took me a bit longer to come to terms with growing up?"

Edwin and Lizzie grabbed Daisy's hand and led her out the back door. They didn't want to her to hear her parent's fighting. Marti just stood there in shock, holding Brooklyn. Her parent's, who were right outside, probably didn't have a clue what was going on.

"Derek Nolan Venturi! I am doing no such thing. Yeah, you always pay the money, but damn Derek, Casey needs more of that from her father. She needs to him more."

"Come, live with me. You can write from anywhere. I have a huge house, we could live there with Daisy. Case, please, I want to be closer to my little girl."

"So, we just pack up and move. You always expect me to make the sacrifice. To just do whatever you want."

"Case...I can't leave the team. It's my dream. This way we can both have our dreams."

"I can't do it. I can't. I've been fine on my own. I don't need a man to rely on."

"It's just love Case. Remember love? Remember what we were?"

"Don't! Don't you dare bring up love and what we were! You broke us! You left me alone with our child. We were engaged and you left. Derek, sure it's 'only three hours away' by plane! You forgot to mention that! I couldn't come fly to see you. I'd have to drive and that's over a day away. Canada's big. I couldn't do that with school and Daisy. Thank God for your dad and my mom or else I don't think I could have done it at all. You had an offer from not only your precious Canucks, but from the Senators too. The senators who really are only about 3 or 4 hours away. By car. But no, you gave me up. I can't forgive that. Ever."

Derek just stood there in shock, hurt evident in his eyes. He didn't realize he had hurt her that bad or that she still felt the hurt. But she did. And he felt horrible. How stupid of him was it to bring up love when he had done that to her. But he did love her still. He had to somehow get her back. Somehow. He just didn't know what he could do to get her back.

The family and some select friends of both Edwin and Lizzie were seated at the restaurant at the rehearsal dinner. Neither Edwin or Lizzie had gotten a chance to ask their elder siblings about what had happened and they were extremely curious. But, of course, the night was about them, so they tried to hide it and let everyone wish them good luck for the following day.

Daisy was seated between her mother and father. She looked up at both of them confused. She didn't understand why neither of them were hardly saying anything. Or why they had been yelling at each other earlier.

Nora and George were also equally curious about what had happened between the two. They didn't say anything, not wanting to take the attention from the happy couple.

Marti was the only one who knew. She had witnessed the whole thing. She just stood there and let Casey and Derek ignore her, while they yelled at each other. She knew now what she had been hoping was true. Derek still loved Casey. And she was pretty sure that Casey still loved Derek, she was just too hurt still.

Marti is the smartest of them all. You know she has a plan up her sleeve.
