** Casey's POV **

I woke up in Derek's arms. I looked up to see him watching me with a smile on his face. "Good morning beautiful how did you sleep?" he asked seeing that I was awake. "I slept well, how about yourself?" I asked getting up. "I slept perfect knowing that I had an angel sleeping with me." he said smiling. I smiled back at him, "Um Case, by the way Nora walked in early this morning. I think she is starting to put pieces together, we might have to tell her. I played it off as you came running in here crying but I don't think she bought it." Derek said coming over to me and wrapping his arms around my waist. "Well it took her and George long enough to start to get suspicious." I laughed leaning up to kiss Derek on the lips. I only meant for it to be a peak but it turned in to a full make out session. "Derek... Baby... we need to get downstairs before they send Lizzie and Edwin up to wake us." I said. He groaned but pulled away.

I went to brush my hair in the bathroom only to be stopped by my mom. "Morning mom." I said walking into the bathroom. "Casey are you and Derek dating behind mine and George's back?" she asked before I closed the door. Crap. "If I said yes how much trouble would we be in?" I asked looking her in the eyes. "Casey you wont be in trouble. I would just like to know if you guys are. So, are you two?" She asked again. Just when I was about to ask the smoke alarm went off. Talk about save by the bell. Nora ran downstairs just as Derek came walking out of his room. "I heard. That was really close. Do you think we need to tell them?" he asked walking into the bathroom with me. He grabbed his toothbrush and I grabbed my hairbrush. "I don't know Derek I mean they could send you away or send me to live with my dad or both." I said brushing my hair into a pony before brushing my teeth. "Casey I can't sneak around anymore. I'm in love with you. When I saw you dancing with that guy I got so jealous and it took everything I had not to go over there and take you far from here. I want everyone to know that you are mine and that I'm yours. I'm so tired of girls asking me to go back to their place after games. I just want you forever, me and you, thats all I will ever want." he said. I was teary eyed by the end. I smiled and leaned up to kiss him. "We'll tell them at breakfast." I said before taking his hand and going downstairs.

"George! Mom! Lizzie! Edwin!" I yelled when we reached the bottom step. Everyone was at the table when we walked over. "Derek and I have something very important to tell you guys." I took a deep breath and looked at Derek he looked at the family before continuing what I started to say, "Casey and I have been dating for a while now and I'm completely and hopelessly in love with her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her." he said in one breath. Nora smiled at George. Lizzie looked upset then looked to Edwin before looking at Nora and George. "Mom, George, Edwin and I have been dating for two months now too." Lizzie said holding her and Edwin's intertwined hands up. I smiled, I had known that they were dating but Lizzie told me not to tell. She also knew about me and Derek. "Well then it took them long enough to tell us." George said handing Nora something. "You win honey." he said smiling. "Wait you guys knew about all of this?" Edwin asked looking at George the same way Derek was and Lizzie and I were looking at Nora the same as well. "Guys it was just a matter of time. The way Lizzie and Edwin were best friends and the way Derek and Casey always fight it was a no brainier that you would end up together. The day that the two of you stopped fighting was the day we knew that you two were dating. With Lizzie and Edwin it was harder to tell when they started but then when they started sitting next to each other at breakfast and dinner thats when we knew." Nora explained. "Wow I guess we didn't hide it very well." I said looking at Derek. "Yeah I guess not. But now that the family knows the real test will be Monday when we go to school" Derek said pulling out my chair for me to sit. After I sat he sat beside me.

"This is true but lets not think about that now." I said looking over the food on my plate. "Mom this looks so good." I said digging in. "and it taste great. Thanks for breakfast momma" I said after I swallowed my food. "Thank you Casey. After breakfast Marty is going over to a friends and then we can talk about some ground rules for you guys okay?" Nora said looking in between Lizzie, Edwin, Derek, and myself. "Okay Nora but I have practice at noon." Derek said looking at the clock on the wall. "Okay well it looks as if Marty is almost done so I'll take her and then we will be back she is just going down the street." Nora said.

She and Marty got up and headed for the door. Marty stopped and grabbed her bag before following Nora out the door. "Derek you do realize that the new rooming arrangement wont happen as quick as you thought now right?" George asked taking a sip of his coffee. Derek looked over to him, "So you and Nora were actually going to move Casey in my room so that when Nora has Robbie he'll have his own room? That's...wow. I thought you guys weren't going to do it at all. Why can't we do it now though? You guys said that you knew and you were still going to do it?" Derek said. George, Lizzie and Edwin laughed at how fast Derek had said all of that. I was just as confused as he was. "I'm with Derek on this." I said looking at George. "Guys Nora and I trust you we'll actually still be doing it around the same time that we had planned which would be sometime this week. But, if you guys do anything to break this trust we will move the rooms around again. Understood?" George asked looking in between Derek and myself. I nodded as did Derek.

We waited for about ten minutes then Nora was back and we were all seated in the living room with George and Nora up pacing the floor. Derek sat in his chair and I sat on his lap and Lizzie and Edwin were sitting on the couch. "Okay guys we are moving the rooms around so listen. Derek and Casey are going in the basement. George and I are going in our old room. Lizzie you'll be in Casey's old room, and Edwin you are in Derek's old room. There wont be a guest room anymore. Is that good with every one?" Nora said looking around at all of her kids. "I have a question mom where is Marty's room going to be?" I asked looking at her. "Marty will be in the same room as always. She has way to much stuff to move it anywhere." she said laughing a little. "Alright if thats okay with everyone then go start packing stuff. Um Derek, Casey we need to talk." George said. Lizzie and Edwin ran up to their rooms to get ready to move to new rooms.

"You two have some new rules. Knowing Derek you two have already been... sexually active with one another am I right?" Nora asked. I'm sure my face was bright red. I berried my face into Derek's chest. "I'll take that as a yes so rule number one no unprotected sex. Two don't do it when the family is home." Nora said. I felt Derek laugh slightly and I looked up at him. He stopped laughing seeing how red my face was. "Okay any more rules?" he asked looking at George and Nora. "Be careful of what you do in front of Lizzie, Edwin, and Marty. Edwin and Lizzie look up to the two of you and well Marty is still so young. Deal?" Nora asked. I looked to her and smiled. I got off of Derek and ran to hug my mom. "Deal" I whispered in her ear. "Okay well you two go and start packing. Oh and tomorrow we can go look at getting you guys a bed." George said. "No thanks dad we'll just share mine its big enough." Derek said with a smile on his face. When I saw that smile I ran up stairs so no one would see how much more red my face had gotten at that comment. I heard Derek, George, and Nora laugh then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Derek appeared in my doorway. "Sorry if I embarrassed you babe I just had to say it. Do you forgive me?" he asked walking over to me. I nodded my yes hugging myself close to him. "Okay well I'll let you pack but will you stay the night with me tonight? I mean we wont be moving things until tomorrow anyway so will you?" he asked. I smiled before leaning up to kiss him. "I take that as a yes." he said when I pulled back. "Yes" I said. He smiled before kissing me again and walking out of my room and to his.

I started packing. By the time Derek had to go to practice I was more than half done. Before he left I asked him "Since I'm almost done do you want me to pack your stuff while your gone?" he looked at me, "Sure but don't move any of the boxes down there until I get home." he said leaning down to kiss me. "Bye handsome." I said smiling at him. "Bye beautiful." he said smiling at me before leaving. I ran up the stairs. I finished packing my room in an hour and then went to Derek's room. It looked like he had most of his stuff packed but not all of it. I finished his room with in two hours then went to help Lizzie. Derek came home about half an hour after I finished packing his room and we both started moving our things down to the basement.

Once we got all of our boxes down there it was dinner time. We cleaned up before helping Nora set the table. "Mom this looks so great." I said looking over the meal in front of me. "Thank you Casey. Oh I noticed that you guys already packed all of your stuff and moved it down. If you guys want George can go ahead and move our bed out of there and you guys can move yours down there after dinner." she said taking a bite of her food. "That sounds great mom." I said looking over to Derek, he nodded in agreement since his mouth was full of food. Dinner was filled with small talk after that. When George finished he excused him self so that he could start taking his and Nora's bed apart so that he could move it. Derek and I soon finished as did the rest. Derek and I went to his room to take apart his bed. Lizzie and Edwin went back to packing and moving boxes. Nora cleaned up the kitchen while all of this was going on.

George came up to Derek's soon to be old room and told us that he was ready to move beds. Derek went to help his dad move the bed up to their new room and I went to help my mom in the kitchen. "Hey Case." my mom said as she put the leftovers in the refrigerator. "Hey mom." I said handing her a container. "So are you happy that you get a bigger room although you have to share it with Derek?" she asked closing the door to the fridge. "I am very happy mom. It means a lot to know that you and George trust us enough to put us in the same room even though we are dating." I said. She smiled, "Casey I've watched Derek and he has grown up a lot since you two started to get close and he is very trustworthy. I also know you and know you think things through before doing them. I trust you both together. Casey I see you and him going very far with this relationship truly I do, because you two are different in many ways and in others very much the same. You two are each others half. I just hope you guys see it too." she said. As she finished saying that George and Derek came through the house with the mattress that went to Nora and George's bed. They took it to the living room before going and getting the rest. As soon as they had that bed in the living room they went up to get Derek and my bed.

Once both beds were in the right room I went down and helped Derek put ours back together. "So I guess you are sleeping with me down here in our room tonight right?" Derek asked as he put the pieces together. "Duh I'm sleeping with you tonight your not sleeping in our room alone." I said handing him the piece that he needed. He smiled before finishing the bed. As soon as the bed was set up I went and found my Pj's I changed in front of Derek not caring because well obviously he has already seen me naked. I crawled in bed after changing and then Derek got in bed only wearing his boxers like he always slept. "Goodnight beautiful Casey." he whispered kissing my cheek. "Good night my knight in shining armor." I said before I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
