<strong>Derek with Melonie and Jess in kitchen area</strong><br/><br/>Derek nodded. Dad was always in his office on Fridays. He couldn't wait til he saw him and mom. The delicious smell of lasagna passed his noise as she opened the oven and pulled out both pans. He could feel his stomach growling.<br/><br/>"Oh, that smells good," Derek said with a big grin. "You'll get there. You got the looks, the talent and personality to be a big star," he said with a grin. "I think you and Stephanie are my only reasons for coming back. Well besides me being a Mommy's boy, you guys always take care of me." he said thinking for a second. "Though I might want to move back to school to finish it up. Who knows, once I'm a famous animator, I can have you move in with me," he said with another cheesy grin.<br/><br/>Derek slightly jumped when he heard the bottles being set down. He turned his head and saw his mother standing next to the counter. "Hey Mom. I was just wondering where you were," he said with a smile. "Nothing really, just catching up on everything. It's nice being home after so long."
