<strong>Derek with everyone in kitchen</strong><br/><br/>When Stephanie walked in, he couldn't help but grin. Oh, he loved his family.<br/><br/>Derek smiled when his mom said he could help with the message. "Of course, I'd love to," he said watching everyone. He slid the case with the movies in it into a drawer and hoped no one would open it until after dinner.<br/><br/>When his father walked in he stood up and waited til he was down before walking to him. "Hey father, I'm glad to be finally back," he said looking at him. Derek never felt close to his father and being away didn't help the feeling but he wanted to see if he could fix that.<br/><br/>It was great to see everyone in the room. It had been so long since he'd seen everyone though he missed his brothers. "I'm just glad almost everyone is here," he went to grab a glass of wine and hoped nobody would catch it. Even though he was only 16, he hoped they didn't mind if he celebrated in style.
