Casey opens her eyes and is suddenly woken from her dream.
Derek comes walking into the room.
Derek: Hey, you're up.
Casey: (she sits up)
Derek:Casey, are you ok?
Casey:Hmm..what?
Derek: I said "Are you ok?" you look a little frightened
Casey: No, I'm ok, I just had a weird dream. You know pregnancy throws off my sleep
Derek: Ok. Do you want to tell me about it?
Casey: I'm not sure. I'm actually still trying to process it myself
Derek: It wasn't scary was it?
Casey: No it was actually a very vivid flashback from when I was pregnant with Brett.
We had gone to the doctor for confirmation. Mom was keeping Mark. We went to get a smoothie and then I woke up.
It started out when i was in labor with him and then it went to when I found out i was pregnant with him.
Derek: Do you remember when you went into labor?
Casey: Yeah I was so terrified. 36 hrs of labor
Derek: Well Mark was over 9lbs Brett was only 8lbs
Casey: I was so scared when i had Mark. They had to use the vacuum to get him out and an episiotomy. I just remember being determined not to have a csection because they sure wanted to do one. Mom told them no to do what they had to do to get mark out safely
We had gone to the doctor for confirmation. Mom was keeping Mark. We went to get a smoothie and then I woke up.
Derek: That doesn't seem strange to me
Casey: The very beginning was my actual labor and delivery of Brett. That's what's so strange
I had almost forgotten about how crazy it was. The 36 hrs of labor. But Mark's labor was 65 hrs. And I went through most of the labor without any sort of pain medicine.
Derek: I didn't realize that
Casey: That's because only my mom was in the delivery room. I wanted to do it naturally, but the doctor was concerned because I was really tired. So I got some pain medicine through the IV and I got cut "down there" to make room for Mark's head. Then they decided to use something called a vacuum to help get him out. I don't think anyone expected him to be over 9lbs, especially since I was sick until the 3rd trimester.
Derek: I'm sorry I wasn't there.
Casey: Its ok. You were there afterwards. Besides you didn't want to see that anyway. Not when we were that young. I was so embarrassed and scared of what was going on and happening with my body I think i just needed mom there.
Derek: Do you remember when you were pregnant with Logan?
Casey: Logan, he's kept me, well us on our toes from the moment of conception. Why dont we talk about that later? I'm getting kinda hungry.
Derek: Me too. (he kisses her on the lips) Casey stands up and they walk to the kitchen
