Chapter 1

A/N: hey ya'll, my name is Vicki! This is my first Degrassi fan fiction…I am very excited! D This story…will most likely be the same as everyone else's…only difference is that mine will be written much more structured a.k.a. meaning that mine's better, yes I am arrogant, but when it comes to writing, I can be so Enjoy!

She lit the cigarette as she looked around, hoping no one noticed. Everyone knew about her condition, but she didn't care. She knew he wanted the baby, but why would she want it?

besides the fact I have to fucking carry it in my womb for nine months

She looked up, and saw her love. At least, he claimed he loved her. Didn't he say that to Ashley? Didn't he also say that to Manny? Didn't Emma warn me about him………why didn't I think hard enough to NOT go into that stinky garage? To think, I lost my virginity to a garage band playing, stereotypical "I'll love you forever until I die" speech, the boy everyone falls for………WHY DID I?!

"Hey, how's my baby?" Craig asked politely

"Do you mean me? Or the fetus in my stomach?" She asked asking cautiously, as his rage would fly at any moment, without warning.

"Both, I guess, would you want it to be both?" he winked slyly.

She starred in discontent, in the frosty air. I Canada Sucks /I she thought to herself. She had recently moved to Canada months before from Texas. Yeah, so far away from what she knew. Her father got transferred up north………way north. He worked for some Construction company, best man in Texas………so this was the life of Amanda Rodriguez. A Hispanic girl of 15 her 16th birthday merely a month before she was due. God must have punished her for her wrong doings in Texas. Unfortunately, before moving to Canada, she had just gotten out of rehab, for being anorexic not to mention addicted to marijuana and cocaine. She was still having withdrawals, thank god her parents let her smoke cigarettes, it's what she thrived for each break.

"That's bad for our baby" Craig said to her.

"Yeah, you think I get cranky and crabby now………wait until I'm deprived of my cigs" She replied.

"I'm serious Mandy, stop smoking, you need to go cold turkey or go on the gum or patch. I don't want our family to get hurt because of your I disgusting /I habit." He replied with a disgusted look on his face.

"Is it that serious?" she said in discontent looking at the father of her child.

"Yeah…pretty serious." He replied slowly walked toward her.

She shuddered then realized again why she fell for him. Those curly locks, intense eyes, and pouty lips. She knew what he wanted…at least what he wanted to do anyhow. She stood still, with eyes closed, and lips awaiting. He went in for the kill, gently kissing her, wanting more with each peck. Like gentle rose petals, he engulfed her lips. This is why…this is why she loved him.

"Come on, want to come over? Joey's gone, and Angie's at ice skating practice." Craig said in that sultry sexy voice.

"I'd love to Mr. Manning." Amanda replied, she knew what he wanted, might as well give it to him.

They slowly walked toward Craig's car. The car his deceased father left for him in his will as a parting gift………maybe even as an apology gift? His father wasn't a great guy; his father was an abuser, who hurt Craig often. His wife, who then married Joey, had recently divorced him and she then later died a few years after the birth of their only child together. Mr. Manning was not so loveable toward Craig afterward. Craig had been taken out of the private school in British Columbia where he and his father had moved from, before moving to the area; with that school everyone loved Degrassi Community School (DCS for short). He had loved that school; he didn't really love coming home in the afternoon. He tried his best to escape the tyrant who was his father. The days he was late, his father beat him, the days he miss-behaved; his father beat him. Sooner than later, Craig finally told someone. Joey found out how horribly his father was treating him; he then offered to take Craig in, as his own; just under circumstances. Months later, Craig's father tried to get him back, after several dinners together, he attempted to getting Craig back. Craig argued with him, which enraged him, and he had hit Craig. He drove off in a rage, not caring where he was going, Mr. Manning passed away that evening, leaving Craig alone in the world, with a stepfather and a half-sister. This baby meant the world to Craig. It was all he had left…including Mandy. Not like it was included in the "package", but he hoped that she'd stay with him, not only for the baby, but also for the both of them.

"I love you Amanda Rodriguez." Craig gushed as they pulled into the driveway of Joey's cozy house.

"I love you too Craig Manning." Amanda smiled, knowing someone loved her, knowing someone cared.

Mandy as you already know, moved from Texas to Canada with her father. Like Craig, her mother had passed away long ago. Her father was never a nice, genuine person. He never beat her like Craig's dad did, but he was just as harsh. He soon met a woman in Texas who he fell madly in love with, eloped, then sprung the move and the marriage onto Mandy in one moment. She started to like this little town she lived in now. No more hustle and bustle of Dallas. No more druggies down the block. Just her and Craig…not to mention the bun in her oven. 6 more months…

6 more months she thought to herself.

As her and Craig entered the house, slowly creeping upstairs, she realized something…should they be doing this? As Craig laid her on his bed and removed his shirt in the process, she stopped abruptly and was given an insane look from Craig.

"What's wrong?" Craig asked………obviously wanting some.

"What if this hurts the baby?" Mandy asked oh so innocently.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to." He said smiling as he held her closely.

"I want to, oh boy do I want to………I'm just not sure." She said dumbfounded.

Slowly, it all came together…as the sun slowly set, the couple slowly wound down. As the couple began what had gotten them into. They melted once more together, as they did before. In a loving embrace, only lonely loveless people would understand. Nothing was going to change this………

Or would it?
