It was your normal usual day in the Nelson Hogart residence. Yup Nelson Hogart and no it's not what you think. No Emma and Jay never rekindled that strange relationship they had back in Degrassi. Not that they were dating are OG's know exactly what they were doing. It's actually the last name of her best friend.

Yup Manny married Jay and they have three year old daughter named Cassie together. They've been living at Emma's house for the past two month because of money issues that caused them to have make a few changes including having to lose their house and move in with Emma and her daughter Emily.

"Want Pancakes or eggs and bacon" Emma yelled to her ten year old daughter.

"How about both?" Emily said with a cheeky smile.

"I don't think so" Emma laughed. She always knew her daughter had a big appetite she knew exactly where she got that from.

"And what are you wearing?" Emily came downstairs wearing a black band tee with black cargo pants with black fishnet hand gloves and black converse and a necklace with spikes.

"What You Don't like?" Emily asked surprised.

Emma was all about her ten year old expressing herself but she found it a little annoying where her daughter never liked wearing the outfits she would choose for her. More colorful unlike the clothes she wears now. It was so edgy and a bit punk rockish. It reminds her of her old classmate Ellie Nash and for some reason it made her skin crawl.

"How about some eggs for my cute niece Cassie" Emma smiled.

As Cassie sat in her high chair she flicked eggs that Emma gave her and it landed right on Emily's shirt. Cassie saw the mess she made and started to burst in laughter while watching Emily stare at her with her most evil glare.

"Mom how long will they be staying with us?" Emily said dryly trying her best to wipe her Rolling Stones Band Tee.

"Just until they have enough to get back on their feet sweetie."

As, Manny and Jay finally wakes up and walks in the kitchen Emily is already getting ready to leave.

"Hey what's up Green Bean?" Jay taunted

Instead of answering Emily just rolled her eyes and continued leaving.

((((*****))))

"Hey Em?" Manny greeted as Emily slammed the door right in front of her face.

"What's gotten into her? Never mind why even ask she's never a morning person. And what's up with all that black she's been wearing lately. It's reminding me of…"

"Don't remind me. Just help me clean your daughters mess so I can get ready for work. And Jay can you please hurry so you could get my daughter to school? If I don't leave now I'm gonna be late." Emma responded.

Manny starred at her in awe as she saw her best friend run out that door. "She's so strong and hard working. Sometimes I just" She was interrupted in mid-sentence as she heard loud music coming from the car. "Guess that's my cue." Jay said knowing that meant Emily was ready to leave.

"Love you" Jay told Manny and gave her a soft kiss."

"Love you dimples" He told his daughter Cassie. She had Jay's eyes and Manny's dimples along with her long black hair. Jay couldn't be happier.

((((*****))))

"Hey Green Bean don't leave without me." Jay joked as he heard the engine.

Emily gave a glare then put her headphones in. On the way to Degrassi Jay did what he always did as they rode in the car. He tried to make small talk but it never worked.

"So you ready for your first day?" Emily was on her way to seventh grade. She was only ten yet able to skip two grades. She always did get her brains from her mom.

"No I'm not but anything to get out of this annoying car ride with you" she said with an eye roll.

She was always annoyed her mom never had time to drop her off but then she knew the job she had required her to work long hard hours which she understood. The car finally stopped as they pulled up in the parking lot.

"I remember going to this school like it was yesterday. Boy did I do a bunch of-

"Look I'm not interested in hearing about your little Degrassi school life or whatever. Can you just let me out?" Emily said irritably.

"Whatever you say Bam Bam"

"What?" Emily asked.

"Nothing Jay" Jay chuckled.

"Such an idiot." Emily responded.

With that Emily left to begin her first day leaving Jay in thought. Man he loved that little girl and he knew a man who would love her more. It amazed him knowing that girl was the spitting image of her father. She had his attitude, his toughness and everything and Sean will never know. It sucks but just like Emma said it's for the best. With that Jay pulled out the parking lot and left Emily to begin her first day at Degrassi.
