To Love This Child
Emma left Degrassi and headed towards her house. The first day back had gone by almost in a blur. The day had been filled with tons of gossip and a lot of catching up with her classmates. The juiciest gossip of the day was that Paige was going to go to court. Emma wasn't close with the popular girl, but she had heard the rumors over the last couple of years. Her good friend, JT, knew what was actually going on with Paige. He didn't talk much about it though. He was a good friend like that.
When people weren't talking about Paige, they were talking about who was dating whom. It seemed that Emma wasn't alone with her failed relationship. Among her friends, JT and Manny's relationship was the only one to survive the summer. She was happy for them. Manny deserved a good guy after what she had gone through with Craig.
Emma had thought she found herself a good guy after Sean. Chris had been great to her. She thought they could last, but she had only been kidding herself. Her heart hadn't been completely in it. Sean may have broken her heart, but it seemed he still had a piece of it.
She shook her head at the memories of her and Sean. It didn't matter; he was happy with Ellie. She looked down at the ground as she continued her walk home. She was going to try and not dwell on the past too much this year. She was going to try her best to have a good year. She smiled at the thought as she turned the corner and headed down her street.
She would only have a little time to enjoy the house to herself. Snake was still at Degrassi, finishing up some stuff for the first week of school. Her mom, Spike, was still at work as well. Her brother Jack was still at daycare. Her mom would be picking him up on her way from the salon.
Emma slowed her pace as she walked up to her house. Something was sitting outside her front door. Was it a package? She didn't remember anyone saying they were expecting anything. She pushed her blonde hair behind her ear and walked up the steps to her door. As she got closer to the door, she could make out the package better. It was a basket. She wondered what could be inside it.
She peered into the basket and gasped.
It was a baby.
