A/N okay this is the very last chapter of memory. Thank you all so much for following it and reviewing at stuff! I am so happy that people actually took the time to read something ive written! I don't own LWD. This is the epilogue and is much shorter just so you know.

"Merry Christmas!" Nora cried out as the family came down the stairs the morning of the twenty-fifth.

Joey immediately ran over to the presents and Marti went for the coffee. Derek and Casey had come home a few days ago and thankfully Coach Perry took Derek back on the team. Casey and Derek was officially a couple and the family was so happy for them. Lizzie and Edwin had come back from University around the same time as they go there and the house was as crazy as Casey remembered.

"Santa came!" Joey shouted. "Look at all those presents!"

"Yeah, buddy! And it looks like he ate all the cookies and milk!" Derek exclaimed then smirked at Casey. She smiled back because it was her and Derek who had eaten all the snacks last night.

"Present time?" George asked his wife.

"Alright. But let's take this slowly. One person opens a present at a time so we can enjoy everyone's gifts." Nora said.

Fifteen minutes later there was wrapping paper everywhere, everyone was shouting, half the presents had been unwrapped and no one was paying attention to anyone else.

Casey was curled up on the couch, drinking honey tea and smiling at her over-excited family members. Joey was screaming at the top of his voice and getting hyper off of the toys she had bought him. George was wearing a Santa hat and telling Edwin really cheesy jokes. Her mother and Lizzie were checking out the scarf that Casey had bought Lizzie and telling Derek to stop eating all the cinnamon buns.

Suddenly Derek dropped onto the couch next to Casey.

"Hey. Merry Christmas." He said with a smirk.

"Merry Christmas." She said sweetly and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

"I got you a present..." He said awkwardly with a slight blush on his cheeks. He thrusted a poorly wrapped package at her and avoided eye contact.

Casey opened it. Inside were an expensive digital camera and an empty scrapbook.

"I thought you might want a photo album with pictures you could actually remember." He said shyly.

"Oh, Derek!" Casey cried. Tears were fogging her blue eyes and she kissed him again. "This is the sweetest thing ever!"

He coughed awkwardly and looked away. "Yeah...well... you're welcome." He looked embarrassed but proud.

"I have a present for you as well." Casey said to her boyfriend. She handed him a plain white envelope with his name on the front.

He opened it up and grinned at her. "A Rocket to the Moon tickets?"

"I just thought we should go again because the last time was such a disaster. Hopefully this concert will end better. Derek, I am so sorry for the way I acted three years ago. I was terrible and there is no excuse for it. I'm sorry." She said quietly.

"Things were different then. But I still feel the same way, Case. I'm in love with you." Derek said quietly.

"I love you to, Derek." She said and he kissed her.

"Awww!"

Casey jumped away from Derek in surprise. She had forgotten they were in a room with their whole family. Marti was smiling at them and was the one who had said 'aw'. Joey was wrinkling his nose. "Gross!" He cried. "Get a room!"

Casey laughed and ruffled his hair. Edwin laughed and Lizzie suggested a snowball fight outside. Lizzie, Marti, Edwin and Joey raced outside shouting the whole way. Derek and Casey followed them out.

"I'm gonna get you, Casey!" Derek roared.

Casey shrieked with laughter but stopped when his snowball hit her in the face. She threw one back but missed. He tackled her into the snow and held her gaze for a second before kissing her gently on the lips. Casey melted into him. She was so crazily in love with him that when she was with him, she never thought about the fact that they were step-siblings, only that she loved him with her whole heart. Being with Derek was a constant battle, but one that she would never give up on.

The kiss ended and Derek moved his lips from hers. Before she had even time to think, he had slammed handful of snow into her face.

"DER-EK!" She screamed and chased after him as he ran off laughing. The snowball war was back on.
