Chapter 6: A Trophe Of Love

Derek and I held hands as we walked around trees and bushes. There was a forest behind the safe house and that's where Derek usually... "changed".
Actually, there always seems to be a forest near by the safe houses... Hmm... I wonder if the adults think about Derek when they pick out the safe houses...

or rent them or... whatever they do.
Derek stoped and leaned against one of the many giant trees.
"So our lives are about to get crazy, huh." He murmured. He looked up through the branches and leaves. With his vision he could probably see birds flying up over the forest.

I nodded, "Yeah. Crazy." That's right, our lives were about to change. But... is this change a good change?
"Well, our lives were crazy before, not much is new." Derek joked. I smiled at this.
"Yes, that's true. Our lives are crazy. But... this is a different kind of crazy." I looked away, "Teen parents."

Derek sighed and I looked up to see he was staring at me. I could tell he had something on his mind and he was about to share it.

"Yes, teen parents. But parents none the less..." He said, staring into my eyes. "Let me tell you something, Chloe. When I found those tests, I thought there had been a mistake. We'd used protection. Extra protection. But it still wasn't enough..." He groaned and closed his eyes. He shook his head slowly, and continued.

"I was terrified. I didn't want to admit that... that I... that I had done this. I wanted to explode from shock. I didn't want this at all. I didn't want to be a parent at all, due to the werewolf gene I could pass down. But when we got older and you wanted children, I would without a doubt give them to you. But now... I just wanted to blame myself for my stupidity. There are always consequences for every action. Even though I'm usually so careful, so calculating... I still... we still... If we hadn't-"

I knew what he was going to say and tears started to form in my eyes.
"-Don't you dare say you wish we hadn't done it!" I yelled. Derek opened his eyes, shocked, and looked at me. Crying.

"I... I..." I took a deep, ragged breath. "Even though... this happened. I-I... I still don't regreat having sex with you! That was the best night of my life! I poured my love for you into our love making! I-" I couldn't say anything more. The tears had gotten in the way. I couldn't even see Derek anymore.
I felt Derek's strong arms wrap around me. "Ssssh. Calm down, Chloe. I don't regret it either. That night... I was able to hold you in my arms... I was able to claim your heart and body as mine... I guess that's just the selfish werewolf in me. So selfish." After my tears had slowed, Derek started talking again.

"But then I thought, yeah we used protection so why did this happen? There must have been a reason. This must be our destiny, our fate." Derek pulled back and frowned. "Then I realized... what you must have felt finding out... you must have been more terrified then me. This is happening to mostly you. Your body. You must have been angry. Angry at me for doing this to you-"
"I wasn't angry at you! I was angry at myself! I thought you'd blame me, because-"
"I'd never blame you for something like this. It happened. Nobody is to be blamed. Nobody. This should be celebrated, were bringing another life into this world. As broken as it is, were still creating another voice, another smile, another heart... another Chloe." He wiped away my tears.
"Another amazing Derek." I whispered. Derek smiled and kissed my forehead. "Chloe. I love you so much, and this baby is a trophe of our love for each other."

I wanted to cry again. I wanted to kiss him, untill my lips fell off. I wanted to always be with Derek. Now and forever.

Derek leaned in and kiss me full on the mouth. I leaned into the kiss and Derek pulled away.
"What-" Derek squated and kissed my stomach. Of course, I blushed. Who wouldn't?

"D-D-D-Der-er-ek!" My face was burning up. He peeked up at me, and oh my god! Those green eyes killed me. I felt light headed and swayed.

"Woah! Are you okay?" Derek was already standing up again and had his arm wraped around me, to steady me. Worry written all over his face.
I felt dizzy. I nodded, "It's your fault. You always..." I blinked a few times. I needed to sit down. "Mmm... With those eyes of yours."
"My eyes?" He asked and bent, his face was right infront of mine. So I could get the full blast of his shinning emerald eyes.
I unconciously stepped forward and triped. How romantic. Derek caught me without even needing to think about it.
"You should sit down. Here." He helped me to sit on a large fallen branch. He sat next to me. "Are you feeling sick?" He asked. I knew he was refering to if it was morning sickness. I read a bunch of pregnancy books, and found out a woman can have morning sickness at any time in her pregnancy and it can last through the whole pregnancy sometimes. I shook my head. I haven't had morning sickness yet. But, it could start at any time.

I was starting to feel better, now that I was sitting. Even though I could feel a peice of the log poking me in my butt... I shifted so it wasn't.

Derek calmed down after a while. We sat in silence and I rested my head on his strong shoulder. I felt safe and happy. Derek, me... and our unborn child. This happiness could last forever.

"Hmmm... I wonder how far along you are." Derek wondered, outloud. I blinked at him. That's right. We still didn't know. Well, it couldn't be that far. I wasn't experiencing any symptoms and I haven't gained any weight yet. So it must be pretty early. The only sign I had, was that I missed my period.

"I... I don't know. Do you think we could ask aunt Lauren?" I asked. Derek nodded, "That'd be a good idea. Do you wanna go see if she can do some tests right now?"
I nodded. Derek stood up and helped me to my feet. We headed back towards the house to find aunt Lauren.
