Chloe POV

I rolled over and stretched. My body feels like I just did one of Aunt Lauren's stupid exercise video. The blanket felt so warm and seductive so I turned around to go back to sleep.

Then I saw Derek.

He was lying there, just sleeping. Quietly and peacefully.

"What the hell are you doing in my bed?" I screamed as I tried punch him awake. Then I look around to notice that this wasn't my room. It was Derek's. It all started coming back to me. The charity even, The 5 thousand dollar dress,The crazy ex girlfriend who kept smirking at me mischievously,

And Derek. Oh god Derek.

He was everywhere: my thoughts, my body, my lips.

I looked over at the still sleeping Derek, he looked so ho...nice which he definitely was not. His chest was beautiful, if a chest could be beautiful. His chest looked like it was sculpted by the most skillful sculptor. It looked like someone sat down and enhanced every line or curve to utter perfection. Derek's head turned to the side a bit.

Okay, thats enough staring at him. I decided I needed to take a shower then I realized that any type of clothing mine or Derek's were far enough that I would need to get up and walk over to them.

I am completely naked, and I didnt want to get up and walk just so Derek could wake up and see that. But my only other option was taking tge blanket from Derek, but he is probably not decent under it.

I decided to take risk, and pray and hope he doesn't wake up. But since I am risking everything I decided to go for the door and go to ny own room. I ran over to the door very nakedly, and I pull on it but it won't budge.

Crap, what the hell did he do to the door? The Handel wouldn't even turn. Like it was locked. From the outside. I had no choice, I had to use Derek's shower. I needed to get what Melissa calls freak smell, its mixture of sweat and moaning. I walked into the bathroom and went straight into the shower. The water felt good against my sin, washing all the Derek off. I ran my hands through my hair and stretched , letting the waster sift every crane and few curves in my body.

I grabbed the shampoo and look at it. It's not even scented. I don't get the point of shampoo that doesn't make you hair smell fruity and delicious. I opened the shampoo and pour some into my hand and begin to message the bland smelling thing into my hair. I needed to wash as much of Derek Souza off me as possible. I thought about the charity event. He said I did great, and since he is Derek, I am only about half sure he wasn't mocking me. On a more terrifying note, Amber Denison seemed very upset to see me cozy up to Derek at the event. I caught her glaring at me multiple times. While we were eating Derek had to kick me in order for me to break the eye contact because her perfect face held me there. I could tell she was comparing herself to me, probably telling herself everything she was and I was not. The press definitely enjoyed the tension that seemed to travel with Amber Denison whenever she is anywhere near us.

Then I heard the bathroom door open. And I instinctly use my hands to try to cover as much of my parts as I could.

"Don't bother. I have seen everything you're trying to hide." Derek says he stretches his body and grabs his tooth brush.

"But the one question I have is, if you didn't want me to see anything else, why would you take a shower in my bathroom?"

"Because you locked the motherhumpin' door, you jerk!" I yelled, while still trying to cover myself

"Really? I am a jerk now? I was something else yesterday. I forgot what..oh yeah I remember. I was Dddeeerrrreeeccckkkk, omg faster, faster."

"I never said that! It was the worse night of my life." I screamed and stamp my feet, then I forget that I was trying to cover my special parts from the pervert.

"Worse night? The scratches on my back would disagree—

"I was trying to get away from you dipshit!"

"Oh yeah, you were. You tried to get away that first time,... the second time,… and that third time."

"It was once!" I cried, this wasn't fair.

"I don't think so. I distinctly remember you begging me to please end the torture more than once."

"I didn't beg! You did what you wanted!"

That totally helps your argument Chloe

"You know, you claim to hate me yet you still end up under me, begging me to make you forget your name. Interesting." He said as he walked out of the bathroom.

I huffed and washed his crappy shampoo out of my hair. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body as I walked into his room carefully, hoping he wouldn't tackle me or some dumb shit like that.

And, thank God he wasn't there and the door was open. I grabbed Tori's dress and bolted for my room. I got to my room and I picked a t-shirt and sweat pants to wear. I looked around the room for my black lace bra, I couldn't find it. And I was too tired and lazy to attempt to find it.

I go downstairs to the kitchen to grab something to eat. And of course he is in there.

He smirks at me as I walk by. I glare at him.

I grab a blow and start to make some cereal for myself when Derek's phone rang.

"Hey Mary, I… what?! When? What hospital? I am on my way. Yeah! I am coming!" He says

"What's going on?" He frantically looked for his car keys.

He looked concerned

"Iyzo had an asthma attack and she is been taken to the Narzareth Hospital." He says as he darts towards the garage.

"Wait! I wanna come!" I ran after him.

This Is bad, really bad was all I could think as Derek sped down the street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~YEAH~~~~~~~

"I have to see her." Derek said angrily at the nurse who just said that we couldn't see Iyzo yet.

I know why they were desperate to see her. Iyzo had Allgery Asthma, her asthma flares with anything peanut related. They were warned about 2 years ago that if Iyzo was to injest a small amount peanuts or anything with peanuts in it, she could die. Because she was young, her lungs were still small so the inflammation and closing of her lungs wouldn't take long. I couldn't sit still when Mary told me this when we first got here 45 minutes ago.

I am scared for her. I am scared for Derek and his family.

Derek was yelling at her at this point. I looked around to Mary for help but she had her head in hands and she was shaking. I grabbed Derek by the arm and said "Calm down, yelling won't fix this!"

He looked down at my hands that were wrapped around his one arm. His green orbs were filled with anger but there was something else I couldn't put my finger on. He went and sat down next to Mary, trying to console her as she cried her eyes out. I looked at Incy and I went to sit next to her. The minute my butt touched the chair, she got up and walked over to Derek who got up and hugged her, I could see her trembling also. She turned to me and I saw her red eyes. I looked at Derek, his eyes were closed but I could only imagine the pain behind them.

She had been crying for a long time. I wanted to go over and hug them both but this was their family moment. I couldn't intrude.

"You can see her now, she's aw—

Derek and Mary rushed down the room before the nurse finished delivering her message. Incy and I followed behind them. We walked into the room, Derek rushed to her side as she moved her head towards the people in the room.

"Dad-ddy.." She tried to say, but her voice sounded hoarse. She tried to move towards him.

"Hi baby, shhhh" Derek cooed as he leaned down and hugged her as the doctor came in.

"Hello everyone. I am Dr. Marcus." She said as she looked down at the clipboard then looked up at everyone specically at Derek who was hugging his daughter. Dr. Marcus walked over to Iyzo and touched her forehead.

"She is very lucky. We got to her just before her lungs closed completely. We were able to draw out all the mucus." Dr. Marcus said

"Yeah she is. Thank you for everything." Mary responds

The doctor took the everything off Iyzo except the heart monitor. Then she left.

"Hi Iyzo" I finally said

She looks over at me then hides her face in Derek's arms. I walk over and smile at her. She gives me back a little smile.

"Now that, she's okay." Derek said as he looked over at Mary

"How in the hell did she get peanuts?" He continued

"I don't know Derek. It could be she ate something at school or she must have taken something from the basket a friend sent me." She said warily, probably exhausted

"Mary, you know this could have killed her. You cant play with things like this. A basket of all things peanuts. A bell should have gone off in your head! She could have die—"

"Don't you think I know that? I know that but I am human, I make mistakes. I am glad she is okay but you try doing what I do and let's see if you don't slip up. I love this kids just as much as y-"

"If you did, you wouldn't have let this happen. You have got to be more carefu-"

"I am careful, this was an accident Derek. You can't seriously blame me for this. You can say you love them as much as you want, but in the end I am the one who takes care of them while you are off screwing around in vegas—"

"STOP!"

The room was suddenly silent and everyone was staring at me.

I hadn't realized that I had yelled.

"This isn't the time nor place for arguing. The point is that she is okay and all you can both do is learn from this." I look at Derek and Mary as they glare at each other.

"Incy, hun would you like something to eat?" Mary asked as she put her hand around Incy's shoulder. Iyzo was already asleep in Derek's arms.

"Derek and I will get it." I blurt out, once without thinking

Of course, Derek shot an me a in-your-fucking-dream face.

I glared at him and went over to him and slowly lay Iyzo's head on the bed. Then I grabbed Derek's arm and ushered him out of the room before he could whine or throw me into the chair.

As we left the room and closed the door behind us, I let go of his arm because I could feel him trembling with anger. I looked over at him to say something but I didn't know what to say, I didn't know how to make him feel better.

We got into the cafeteria after a long and silent elevator ride and went straight for the counter. I looked at Derek waiting for him to take the lead on the orders because he knew them more than I did but he wouldn't budge. He just stood there watching me with furious eyes.

"Hi, what can I get for you today?" The brunette girl said

"Uh, I'll two of the turkey, chicken and ham sandwiches and two bottles of the apple and orange juice. Thanks." She turns around and grabs our orders. I turn around to grab my credit card from my wallet to see that Derek has already paid for it and she was handing him the receipt.

I grabbed the stuff from the counter and we headed back to Iyzo's room. When we got into the elevator, I turned to Derek and said "You know it's not Mary's fault. Accidents happen. The important thing is she is okay, Derek. She's fine and she is going to recover."

He looked at me, I saw the green orbs that was once filled with anger, now glassy almost as if his pupils were polished or something. We exited the elevator and got to the front of Iyzo's room to find Mary talking to two people, man and woman, I have never seen before and they weren't dressed like they work in the hospital. At least, not this department.

"What's going on?" Derek's voice sounded hoarse like he had been screaming for a long time

Mary turned around and there were tears falling down her face.

"What the hell is going on?" He repeats

"Well hello, Mr Souza, I am Leslie Keen and this is my partner David Lutz. We are here because we got an alert about Iyzobella's attack and we were told to see what happen because this attack could have been fatal to her life." The woman answers

"And?" Derek says, I could tell he was getting testy. A testy Derek is not good.

"Sir, were you aware that potential adoptive parents are forbidden from interacting with their potential adoptees without the presence of a social worker?" the woman questions

Derek doesn't answer. Neither does Mary. They both just look away.

"Okay then, I will take that as a yes. Well if you didn't know, you both violated a state law. So I have no choice but to inform the adoption board of this matter. And this will result in your name been removed from the adoption review. " She says apathetically. She didn't look like she gave a crap about what she was doing.

"What?!" Derek all but yelled

"And for you Ms Mary, I am afraid Iyzobella and Innocencia will have to be transferred to another foster home temporarily due to the nature of this matter. As of now you are no longer the guardian of this two girls." She looked as though this is all she does all day so Mary's tears or Derek's paralyzation does not faze her.

"We will be staying here with them until a temporary guardian arrives, you may go home. And you will be contacted for the next step in this problem" The man adds just as emotionless

This is cannot be happening. Not to him, not to them.

Mary put her head in hands as she trembled. I looked at Derek, the look on his face was pure unadulterated fear and shock.

The social workers waited for a response but nor Derek or Mary gave one. They then said they would go and inform the girls but Mary pleaded with them to let her break the news to them. They went in the room. I looked at Derek again, still in shock. I shook his shoulders. He was standing there, and I didn't know what to do.

So I called Kit.

The phone rang and rang, Kit finally picked up the phone on the last ring.

"Hey Chloe, How are you? " Kit's voice sounded like he was just done laughing.

"Kit, come down to Nazareth Hospital. Iyzo had an asthma attack and we came down to see her. Social services are here. They said Mary and Derek broke state laws and they said they are taking them away. Mary is no longer guardian. Derek's name is off the list." I rushed everything out in one breath

The phone was silent for a second

"Where is Derek?"

"He is here. I think he went into shock he is just standing there." I was genuinely concerned. Derek Souza does not go into shock. It's just not natural.

"What about Mary?"

"She went into the room with them to break the news."

"Okay Chloe, I want to you to do one thing and one thing only: keep Derek down."

"What does that mean? I just said he is in shock, just sitting there."

"See Chloe Derek has these bursts of anger, they are very, very rare. First comes the initial shock, then comes the realization and a half-assed acceptance, then comes the anger."

"How am I supposed to stop him?! That's like telling a cat to stop a lion."

"Just try, do whatever you have too. Just keep him down. I will be there in 15 minutes." And the phone went dead.

Keep him down. Keep him down. Keep him down

I can do this. Then Derek gets up, his eyes still wild.

"Derek, are you okay? I just called you dad and he says you should calm down, he is on his way." I walk towards him and grab both his shoulders. That forced him to look me in the eye, and I came see the shock start to seep away, the realization that he was losing his girls creeping into his eyes like a disease.

"Chloe, let go of me please." He says, his voice robotic.

"Derek, don't do whatever you are thinking." I say as I hug him "Your dad can fix this okay. He can. You know he will. This is just a bump in the road. He will fix this, please just wait a few minutes till he is here."

Derek looked down at me, the realization was gone. The anger arrived and I could feel it. His emerald eyes glowed with anger.

"Just hang in there, Derek please. You don't want to make this worse, so just hang in there please." I hug him again. But this time I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I hugged him tighter, hoping this was a big enough distraction till Kit gets here. I felt his chin on my head.

Then he whispers, "Don't take this as a sign that I like you, you're simply the only thing keeping me from going batshit on those two."

I exhale in relief and laugh. I have never been happy so to be insulted by Derek.

I heard foot steps as Derek and I turned to see Kit and Simon walking..well running actually, down the hall towards us. I realized that I was still hugging Derek for dear life so I jumped out of the hug quickly as Simon and Kit reached us.

"Where are they?" Kit asked

I pointed to Iyzo's room.

"Wow. I cant believe you haven't gone batshit on them." Simon said as if he hasn't seen his brother go batshit on enough people.

Derek ignores his brother and sits down. I say down next to him instinctively.

Mary, the social workers, and Kit came out of the room. Derek shot up like a bullet. I grabbed his arm, fearing he would do something stupid.

Kit and the social workers spoke for forever and a day. When he finally turned to us as the social workers went back into the room, his face was morose.

"They have to take Iyzo and Incy, at least for tonight, that's protocol. Tomorrow morning, I will be at the adoption board office." Kit said, obviously sad that he couldn't do more.

"Can we at least say goodbye temporarily?" Simon asked

"I asked, they think that's a bad idea. they stupidly think, It might be traumatizing for them,."

"And this bullshit isn't going to traumatize them? God, I hate social workers." Derek said angrily

"I am sorry Derek. We will fix this, they have no case. You knew both of them before you were going to adopt them so it was normal for you to see them." Kit said to his son as he put his hand on Derek's shoulder.

"Where is Mary?" I just realized I was the only female in our little group.

"She ran to the house to get some of their clothing. The temporary foster mother will be here soon."

Derek, Kit, and Simon began to discuss plans. I put my head against the chair.

I can't believe this is happening to those kids. They have been through enough. Iyzo was too young to have such an experience. Incy would hold this in her forever, she is already holding a lot in her. Derek, oh Derek. All those thoughts were flying around my head, I didn't realize when my eyes closed and I fell asleep.
