"DEREK! DEREK! Come look, come look,"
A nine year old slowly turned around. "What is it this time?" he asked the younger girl.
"Look," she said as she held her cupped hands out to him. In her small hands she held a butterfly as she opened her hands it flew away. "Isn't it so beautiful?" she asked.
"Boys don't like stuff like that; you should know that by now, Em."
"But it is pretty?" continued Emily as she looked up at Derek.
"I guess so." agreed Derek. "But you better not tell anyone, EVER," he added.
--
"Those kids will end up married one day," joked George with Mr. Davis as they both watched a young Derek and Emily run around the Venturi's backyard.
Abby and Mrs. Davis shared a look and grinned at each other, rolling their eyes at their husbands' and children's' antics.
"You told them I liked butterflies!" shouted Derek.
"It was an accident!"
"Imma...imma beat you up!"
"You'll never do it Derek Venturi!" shouted the seven year old Emily back at Derek her hands placed on her hips as she stood her ground.
--
"You dared me."
"But, but I didn't think you would do it," shouted Emily down from her tree house.
"Well next time don't dare me to kiss you!" shouted Derek up at the curly haired girl. "Girls." he muttered as he walked away.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Emily?"
"The one and only." smiled Emily Davis at her childhood best friend.
"Wow, where's the little boy that I knew?" joked Derek. Where was the good ol' little Emily Davis? He thought. In her place was a young woman.
"You know what Venturi?"
"What?"
"You're eyes still shine, like pretty lights."
--
"I guess we're eating our words," sighed George as he and Mr. Davis stood on the porch as they watched Derek dip Emily before he gave her a chaste kiss on the lips.
"No more pictures, Mom," sighed Emily before she dutifully stood next to Derek for the traditional prom picture.
"Oh my, my, my." Nora groaned as she sat next to George on the porch, "who knew that Derek would fall for Emily?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"You're parents are going to kill me," groaned Derek as he woke up startled.
"Wha--what is it?" asked a groggy Emily as she lifted her head from Derek's shoulder.
"Well I guess I should go drop you off," said Derek as he started his truck. "Aren't you uncomfortable?" he asked Emily as she resettled her head on his shoulder.
"You should know by now," grinned Emily at Derek, "all I need is you next to me."
"Davis, you're the only person who is still a romantic at 2 AM."
--
"No DEREK!" shouted Emily as she stormed out of his house.
"Emily, Em." shouted Derek after her, as he quickly ran across his front yard after her.
"I saw her Derek! I saw how she was draped all over you." Emily shouted at her boyfriend, tears had begun to leak out of her eyes.
"Em, she means nothing to me," Derek tried to get her to understand he could not believe he was having his first fight with Emily over something so stupid.
"Go tell you're pity story to someone who cares." she spat as she slammed the door in his face and ran upstairs.
--
Emily pulled on her robe as she trudged downstairs her eyes felt swollen and her head felt like bursting.
"Emily, could you please go pick up the newspaper." her mom asked as she saw Emily walk downstairs.
Emily shot her mom a look, could she not see what her daughter was going through. If she had looked closely she would have noticed that her mom was smiling as she watched Emily walk out.
No sooner had Emily stepped out when she was stopped in her tracks, there was Derek in only his jacket asleep on her front porch.
"Em." he rasped as he heard the door open and saw her walk out.
"You stayed out all night?" she asked trying to digest the fact that he had slept through the cold night for her.
"I guess I did," he answered sheepishly as he ran a hand through his hair.
"I was stupid." she blurted out.
"You're not stupid," he answered as he got up slowly, before he was pushed back down.
"You're not going to hurt me?" he asked.
"Not you," she answered.
"I love you Em,"
"I love you too," she answered before she kissed him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Well say something?" asked Derek nervously. Derek Venturi didn't do nerves, but if someone had to ability to make him squirm it was Emily Davis.
"Of course you idiot!" shouted Emily as she stuck her hand out.
"Emily Davis will you marry me?" he asked again.
"Yes, I will marry you," she answered happily.
He stood up and spun her around as the once quite patrons of Smelly Nelly's burst into applause.
--
"I do,"
"I do,"
"I know pronounce you husband and wife."
"Nora do you need any more tissue?" asked George as he nervously watched his second wife as she shed an abnormally large amount of tears. Apparently Mr. Davis was in the same situation as he met George's gaze across the packed church. Apparently all of London had decided to show up to the Davis-Venturi wedding.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Congratulations it's a boy," said the doctor as he patted Derek on the back as he ran to his sweat soaked wife.
"I love you," he murmured into her hair over and over.
"I love both of you," smiled Emily as she took in the sight of her husband and son.
--
"I love you, you old woman," said Derek.
"I think I love you too," joked Emily as they both rocked on the very front porch that they had rocked their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
"I'll love you forever," said Derek seriously as he reached for Emily's hand.
"You know why I love you?" she asked looking at Derek.
"Why?"
"Because you're eyes, they shine like pretty lights."
Longer then usual. But I just love this song.
