I Didn't Expect This | A Darkest Powers Fanfiction

Chapter 15: We'll Be Fine

When I awoke I couldn't see anything. I could hear sounds though. A song was playing in the room.
It was in Japanese... or Korean.
"Heeeey, sexy lady!" Simon sung and then I heard a crashing sound.
"Damn it, Simon! You broke it! Turn that damn Korean shit off!" Tori yelled.
"OOPA GANGNAM STYLE!-Fuck you."
"For the love of god..." Derek growled.
I tried to open my eyes but that task seemed impossible. I gave up and sighed.
"Chloe?!" Derek's voice was alert and next to me, "She sighed! I heard her! She sighed! Chloe!"
"CHLOE?! ARE YOU ALIVE?!" Simon's voice shouted in my ear.
"Simon! Back your shit up." Tori hissed.
"Whats going on?" I tried to say but my voice kept breaking. I knew that Derek could understand me though.
"You're in a clinic of sorts at the water park." Derek said.
Thats when everything came back to me. I fell off a golf cart. My side hurt really bad. The babies.

"T-The babies!" My eyes flew open.
"Sssh, Chloe. Relax." Derek restrained me from trying to sit up, "They are fine. Their stronger than normal humans babies remember?"
"Their... o-okay?" I asked hesitantly. Derek nodded, his green eyes full of unmasked relief. I closed my eyes and relaxed.
If Derek said they were alright, then they were alright. I trusted him.
I was released a few hours later and given some pain meds. I was gonna have a nasty bruise on my side but other than that, my babies and I were gonna be fine.
"You are never getting on another golf cart ever again." Derek held my hand as we walked back towards the water park.
I rolled my eyes but other than that, I gave no reply.

Not too long after, we were all in the water park enjoying ourselves.
Simon was hanging around the water slides, flirting with pretty girls in bikinis and almost getting beat up by one girl's boyfriend.
Tori was sitting on her towel, chatting it up with some very fit young men. Aunt Lauren and Mr. Bae were in the lazy river that connected to the wave pool.
I was sitting at a picnic table in the shade, eating vanilla ice cream and watching Derek stand in the ice cream line waiting to order his second cone.
The line was mostly little kids, so he looked like a giant in comparison. One little boy looked up at Derek and said something to him.
I couldn't hear what it was but Derek laughed and patted the little boy's head. He said something to the boy and then went up to order his ice cream.

When he came and sat down from across me, I immediately asked him about the boy.
"He asked me why I was so big. I told him it was because I ate all my vegetables." Derek smirked.
I laughed, "You should have told him to stay in school and not to do drugs while you were at it."
"Right. As we sit here, not in school." He shook his head, "We're fantastic role models."
"You know we'll have to enroll our kids in school, right?" I asked.
Derek sighed, "I thought about that."
"Were always hiding... but I want our kids to have an education. At least until their powers start kicking in." I said as I finished my ice cream.
Derek nodded, "As do I. We can enroll them under fake last names so that if anyone starts sniffing around, they can't be connected to us right away."
I smirked, "Can the last name be 'Bapalapashamalamadingdong'?"
Derek started choking, "No more t.v. for you."
"I was kidding!" I laughed.

Later, I was laying sitting on a beach chair and talking to Tori.
"See the guy in the navy blue swim trunks? black hair and lip peircing?" Tori pointed. I nodded.
"Got his number." She said, "The one in the dark green trunks, dirty blonde hair, and tattoo on his right shoulder?"
I sighed and nodded again. We'd been doing this for ten minutes.
"Got his number."
"Tori, I think you got the number of every guy in this place." I was bored. I didn't wanna talk about boys who gave Tori their numbers anymore.
"Almost." She frowned, "The one with the black trunks, styled black emo hair, and nipple piercing hasn't even noticed me yet."
"Nipple piercing?" I stared, "Probably gay."
"Really?" Tori asked.
"He looks the part. All he needs is some glitter and rainbows."
Tori snorted, "I'm gonna try anyway. He might just be bi-sexual." She got up and walked over to him.

Derek and Simon were in the wave pool, trying to jump over the waves like the little kids were doing.
I watched a cute little blonde girl in a pink one piece try to jump over a big wave like her brother but missed the moment and went under. After a few moments, she still didn't come up.
I jumped up and yelled, "DEREK!" He turned and looked at me.
"A small girl went under!" I pointed at the spot frantically.
Derek's eyes widened and he dove under. I held my breath. Why didn't the life guards see her?!
Wait... it couldn't be... a ghost? No, she was real!
Derek came up and looked at me. He shook his head. There was no girl.
I bit my lip. But... I was sure she was real.

Derek looked at my face and dove under again but this time he was down longer and when he came up he had the girl in his arms.
He swam over and lifter her unconscious body from the water. I grabbed her and layed her on her back.
A life guard came over and did CPR. She started coughing up water and gasping for air.
A woman, most likely the mother, came running over to us, shouting the little girl's name.
"Emily! Oh dear god! I only went to the bathroom for a minute!" The woman kneeled down beside the girl.
"Thank you so much!" She said to the life guard.
The life guard shook his head, "I just did the CPR. I was busy telling those teens to get off the rope and didn't even see her go down. You need to thank these two."
He gestured to me and Derek. She hugged us and thanked us.
(A/N: Don't leave small children unattended. Always have an adult with them. Also, don't play on the rope.)

"It's a good thing you saw her go under." Derek commented as we walked back to the car that evening.
I sighed, "I'm just glad you were able to get her in time."
Derek pulled me close and wrapped an arm around me.
"I think we'll be fine." I whispered. Derek gave me a questioning look and I leaned into him.
Derek was great with the kids today and he jumped into action to save that little girl. I knew he was going to be a good father. We were gonna be fine parents.
