Welcome to tonight's shot! This will actually be a two shot and I dedicate this to Christlove88 & Sweetbaby97 both of whom requested that the DeGrassi Soap ending I posted on the Saviors website requested this story.

If you recall "Thunderstruck" pissed me off to no end and I ranted a lot about how DeGrassi was this terrible bubblegum soap now. It still is and I have no hope for Next Class which I will not be watching or writing for. Anywho I posted a proposed DeGrassi Soap ending on the DeGrassi Saviors website and it led to this story.

Legal: I own nothing but the idea

Things to know before reading:

*I'm patterning this after a soap opera so it's dramatic and at some places a little farfetched but remember it's a soap opera story and not reality

*Bianca has been in Toronto every weekend since Thanksgiving but has not seen Drew and has in fact been avoiding him like the plague

*This takes place just after Thunderstruck and Drew knows Clare is pregnant

*Eli knows Clare is pregnant, the two of them got back together when he returned for the summer. He's not happy that the baby is Drew's but he loves Clare

Ch. 1 Alive

(CLARE)

"You said you were coming Drew," I huff with annoyance and cross my arms.

"I know but Becky needs me and she is my girlfriend," Drew replies and I throw up a little in my mouth. Not from morning sickness but the thought that Drew is with Becky always makes me a little ill.

"And this is your baby that you promised to be there for," I spit back at him.

"I know but Becky's jealous that I'm spending so much time with you," he tells me. I huff again with my hand on my hip looking around the courtyard to see how many kids might still be here. School let out an hour ago but a few are here still from various activities and I really want to kick Drew in the nuts right now, so I'm wondering how many witnesses there would be and then something catches my eye. I look over thinking I must be hallucinating, sure that I'm seeing things because standing over by our picnic table appears to be Adam! I hear people whispering and Drew stops talking except to mutter, "Holy shit," under his breath.

I realize that I'm not seeing things, I'm not hallucinating it's actually Adam. He's supposed to be dead, they told me he was dead, there was a funeral I couldn't go to because I was in the hospital. Drew was devastated it actually brought us closer. But Adam can't be dead because he's standing there. I push Drew away and run over to Adam embracing him tightly and now that I feel him in my arms I'm assured that he's not dead. He's alive and he's here in my arms, my best friend is alive and I burst into happy tears. Adam embraces me back, holding me tightly and letting out a breath.

"Adam," Drew says in a disbelieving breath. I don't want to let go of Adam but Drew is his brother and Adam has no idea what's happened since his accident because we were all under the impression that he was dead. So I reluctantly release Adam to let Drew hug him. "Adam you're alive, you're alive little bro I can't believe you're alive."

While the brothers embrace I call Eli at The Dot and tell him to get to DeGrassi right away. When Drew lets go of him I hug Adam again and then I hear the pounding of running feet and I look over to see Eli running toward us.

"Clare I ran right over are you okay? What h…" Eli is questioning when Adam turns around and Eli stops. He freezes and looks at Adam, looking him over with a shocked expression, Eli's not breathing until Adam smiles at him and Eli releases a breath. "Adam, you're alive! How is this…we thought…" Eli stumbles over his words and then gives up and hugs Adam tightly.

"I woke up just after the surgery, they said it was too soon and tried to put me back under. I didn't remember anything and I fought with them, I hit my head in the accident and I couldn't remember anything at all. They restrained me and all left the room but I have little wrists and I got out of the restraints, with no memory I didn't go home because I had no idea where home was. I've spent the last few months on the streets and wandering, then a couple of weeks ago it all came back, it all just came flooding back. I found out I was dead, I mean everyone thought I was dead and I got on a bus back home," Adam explains.

"I'm so happy you're alive, I don't care what happened," I say embracing Adam tightly again.

"Drew you should probably take Adam home I'll take Clare to class," Eli speaks up.

"Yeah come on Adam we should get home, I'll call Dad and tell him he needs to come home right away," Drew nods and Eli pulls me away from Adam.

"He's alive Eli, Adam is alive, our best friend is alive," I babble a little as Eli walks me to his dad's car which he's using while he's in Toronto.

"I know it's incredible. Are you okay? You look a little pale," Eli says.

"No I'm still reeling from the fact that our best friend is alive," I reply.

"And I'm grateful that he is, it's like a miracle. We'll see him again, after he's had some time with his family we can get some time with him I'm sure," Eli comments.

"Yeah I wonder how that's going to go; I wonder what they're going to tell him. He's been gone for months and a lot has happened."

"Yeah it's going to be a huge shock for Adam, just getting his memories back and then to find out everything that's happened while he was wandering without memory. Let's not worry about it now, Adam is reuniting with his family and we have a birthing class and it's my first one so you'll have to catch me up on what you and Drew learned last time," Eli says.

"I told you what happened at the last class," I remind him.

"Well go over it again I don't want them thinking I don't know how to take care of my pregnant girlfriend."

"I love you Eli."

"I love you too Clare, more than anything."

(BIANCA)

I park in front of the Matlin house and take a deep breath before getting out of my car. I can't believe I'm doing this, I can't believe I got myself into this. I know what I was thinking that night, I know what I was feeling and yet I never expected to find myself here. I knock on the door and a second later Maya opens it.

"Umm hi Bianca," she says slowly I know she has no idea why I'm here.

"Yeah hey I need to talk to Zig is he here?"

"Zig it's for you," Maya calls back into the house.

"Bianca," he says surprised to see me. I've been seeing him every weekend for the last month, in secret as I came home each weekend. I was avoiding Drew at all possible costs, I found out he had slept with Clare and was being rude to her but had started dating Becky of all people, so I hit him and I haven't seen him since.

"Hi we need to talk, come for a drive with me," I assert because it's not a question.

"Yeah sure, I'll be back by curfew," Zig tells Maya and walks out with me to my car. We drive in silence and I park at a secluded spot so I know we're alone.

"I'm pregnant Zig and the baby is yours," I divulge and Zig stops breathing.

A month ago shortly after school resumed from winter break I returned from Waterloo to Toronto one weekend. My auntie called and said she wanted me to come get the rest of my stuff because she wanted my room empty. So after getting what I wanted from my room I told my aunt to get rid of the rest and went driving around the old neighborhood. No real reason just sentimental I guess and that's when I saw Zig walking. I pulled over offering him a ride and he got in my car, we came to this exact spot and we started talking. I found out Drew slept with Clare and was being an ass now, I found out Dallas was with Alli finally and Maya was fighting with Tris. I told Zig about school and when there was nothing left to say we began kissing. It felt good to kiss him, better than kissing Drew in a way and we kept kissing. It wasn't long before we were partially undressed and Zig was putting on a condom. We used protection but it obviously didn't work because two hours ago I was told I was pregnant. It was confirmed with a blood test and once I could breathe again I got in my car and drove here to tell Zig. I knew it was his because he's the only person I've been sleeping with in the last month.

"Pregnant? You're having my baby?" Zig gasps.

"Yes and I know it's yours so don't even ask."

"So are you moving back?"

"No why would I move back I'm in school and I'm going to finish. I'll talk to the school maybe I can take next year off and not lose any credits or my spot. I know I probably shouldn't, I know I'll probably be a terrible mother but I want to keep the baby. I know you're young and still in high school but I want you to be involved even if you're just taking the baby on the weekends."

"No I want to be involved Bianca that's my kid and I think you're going to be a great mom. I can move to Waterloo after the school year, I'll be sixteen I can apply to move out on my own with government help. We can move in together, we'll work it out we can do this Beautiful B," Zig says using the pet name he came up with for me that night.

"You're joking right? We're kids Zig how are we going to raise a kid?"

"I don't know but Eli, Drew and Clare are doing it."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" I demand forgetting for a moment about my own problems.

"Clare's pregnant and it's Drew's. Eli knows but he's sticking by Clare and Drew's involved and they're all going to raise the baby so if they can do it so can we."

"Holy fucking shit Clare got herself pregnant. Okay but that's still different Clare's about to graduate, so is Drew and I thought Eli was at NYU?"

"He came back two weeks ago, school is out he's working at The Dot for the summer. We can do this Bianca we can make it work I want to be with you and I want our baby. I'm young but I grew up fast, I know how to survive and I know we can do this," Zig pleads.

"You know it's not going to be easy, babies are a lot of work and expensive."

"I know I remember when my brother was born. It's going to be a lot of hard work but we're having a baby. I'll figure out what I need to do to move out and transfer, maybe Simpson can help. There's a way to make this work we can do this we'll be okay. I'll move to Waterloo, we'll get an apartment; I can get a job for the summer and then a part time job when school starts again. We can both work for the summer and save."

"You're really determined to do this."

"Yeah I am, I care about you and our child and I want to be with you, be a good dad and maybe my life will finally be worth something."

"You're worth something to me. So do we need tell your parents or something?" I question.

"No but we should probably go back and talk with the Matlins since I'm still living with them."

(ADAM)

It's nearly dark, the sun is setting and I'm walking to Clare's house instead of eating dinner with my family. What I thought would be a joyous reunion with my family ended in a fight and me storming out. It was joyous at first, I was beyond elated to be back with my brother and my parents even Dallas. There was lots of hugging and mom cried, Dad came home and even he cried. Mom called the hospital and the cops and yelled at them both. I told them what happened and there was lots more hugging and then I asked what I'd missed in the last few months. When Drew told me he and Bianca were through I was sad. When I found out that my brother had sex with my best friend my instinct was to hit him but I didn't. When I found out that Dallas told Drew he was just a rebound to Clare I almost hit Dallas. When Drew told me Clare is pregnant with his kid my heart stopped and then he told me that he's dating Becky and I did hit him. I punched him as hard as I could and I left while my parents were upstairs on the phone with their lawyer. There was really only two people I wanted to see or be with right now and I was pretty sure I would find them both at the same place. I ring the bell and Clare comes bouncing down the stairs a second a later and smiles when she sees me.

"Adam," she grins putting her arms around me as soon as the door is open. I hug her back tightly and let out a breath, all the anger I had in me just sort of melts away.

"Hey Adam," Eli smiles from the top of the stairs, "not that I'm not happy to see you but I thought you'd still be with your family."

Clare let's go of me and steps aside so I come in then she locks the door. The three of us go up to Clare's room and she closes the door.

"I was and it was great at first until I asked what's been going on since I've been gone," I tell them and Clare looks guilty. "Yeah Drew told me, I never would have thought you and my brother…"

"Neither did I," El speaks up and now Clare bites her lip looking away in shame and tears come to her eyes.

"It was an impetuous decision, one that I made in emotional turmoil after weeks and weeks of Drew and I getting closer and feeling abandoned by Eli. We were attracted to each other, it couldn't be denied and it finally just boiled over. We did use a condom though and it wasn't exactly romantic the sofa in the storage room. Then Eli showed up and we fought and I thought I was in love with Drew but when I went to Drew he told me he wouldn't be a rebound and started treating me like I had the plague."

"Yeah I heard that too and Dallas told Drew he was probably nothing but a rebound to you," I inform Clare and a couple tears slip from her eyes so I instinctually reach over and take her hand.

"So I avoided him and then got angry and he apologized and I thought we could maybe be friends again," Clare says and then Eli speaks up before she can say anything else.

"Don't take this the wrong way Adam but I'm glad your brother has become such an ass because if he hadn't we wouldn't be together now," Eli says putting his arm around Clare and kissing her cheek.

I find out that she interviewed at Columbia and hit her head while in New York and a storm forced her to stay the night. Eli being the only one she knew in New York and had the number of she called him. They had a great night together and she got back and found out she was pregnant. At least Drew stepped up to take care of his responsibilities but it's been tenuous. Eli came back after the term to work for the summer and learned of Clare's pregnancy. He was angry and they fought about it, he even punched Drew which I'm not sorry about. But Eli was determined not to lose her so he apologized and told Clare he wanted to be with her and raise the baby together, and he was even okay with Drew being involved, not happy about it but okay.

"I hit Drew too after finding out he was dating Becky. The one and only girl I ever loved and she starts dating my brother. I couldn't be there right now; I don't want to be with my family right now or anywhere near Drew and Dallas. I wanted to be with you guys which is why I came here."

"I'm glad you did, you have no idea how happy we are to see you. If it helps any the only people that like Drew and Becky together are them and Dallas," Clare says.

"That figures, I guess you have to die to find out who really cares about you. So do you know what you're having?"

"Not yet, we'll find out the sex at my appointment next week," Clare tells me and then we hear the front door open and close. "That's probably my mom I'm going to tell her that you and Eli are staying for dinner, and also explain that you're not dead," Clare comments and both Eli and I let go of her so she can get off the bed.

"You know I had no memory but I had dreams, I didn't realize who people were but I had dreams about you and Clare. My family too but mostly you and Clare, well mostly Clare actually only she was still sick in these dreams," I confess to Eli.

"Yeah her cancer that was incredibly scary I thought I was going to lose her. She went into remission just after you die…I mean we thought you died. She's been doing real well these last six months, getting stronger and healthy again. I should have been here for her, made time for her, at least called her every night but I failed her and I only have myself to blame for her running to Drew's arms. I've made it up to her though, I'm being the best man that I can for her," Eli says just as Clare comes back.

"So my mom's in shock and she's calling your mom but I think you can stay."

"I'm not going back to my house I don't care what my mom says," I state firmly.

"I wouldn't let you, I told my mom you didn't want to be home and I suggested you both sleep over, you can take Jake's room Adam."

"Your mom let's boys sleep over?" I question.

"Well I'm already pregnant, can't get any more pregnant," Clare says and I laugh.

Helen comes up the stairs a minute later and stares at me like she's seen a ghost, not that I blame her. After a minute she says it's okay if I stay for dinner, she says my parents want to see me but they've agreed I can stay here as long as I need to. My parents apparently understand that I don't want to be around my brother right now and I need to adjust. Glen comes home and like everyone he's surprised to see me. We all eat dinner together and then my mom comes by with a bag for me with some of my things. She hugs me and stays a while but when she tries to rationalize Drew and Becky getting together I tell her to get out.

(ZIG)

"Thank you Sir we appreciate it," I tell Mr. Simpson standing up to shake his hand.

"You've been doing well Zig I'm proud of you. All the paperwork will be ready this afternoon and I'll go with you to meet with the social worker," Simpson says and we leave his office.

"I have to get back to school but I'll drive back this weekend, staying with Chloe again but maybe you can stay there too," Bianca says walking me out to the front of school. We arranged to meet with Simpson before school starts so Drew wouldn't see that Bianca is here.

"Drive safe, let me know you got there," I request.

"I will let me know how it goes later with all that stuff. I'll talk to the school today," Bianca says and kisses my cheek before she starts walking down the steps. I grab her hand and spin her back to me.

"Hey we're going to do this, I care about you Beautiful B and our child," I tell her and give her a soft kiss.

"I know, I'll see you tomorrow."

I watch Bianca get in her car and wave to her as she drives away. Telling the Matlin parents yesterday was interesting and telling Maya was hard. Maya looked like she was going to pass out when she heard I got Bianca pregnant. We told them our plan and they just sort of nodded and said they'd have to think about whether or not I could stay there still. They did agree that I hadn't technically broke their one rule but I wasn't even sixteen and I'd gotten an eighteen, almost nineteen, year old pregnant and they didn't even know we were dating. No one knew we were dating, we weren't even dating well not officially anyway and we didn't really go on any dates mostly just hooking up.

When Bianca's gone I go back inside and to the library doing my homework. I didn't finish my homework last night because Bianca dropped by and I forgot everything else. I finish my homework and go to my locker; it's only half an hour before classes start and most of the kids are here now.

"So how'd it go with Simpson?" Maya asks.

"Went okay he's going to help but he was pretty shocked when he found out Bianca was pregnant a…"

"What the hell do you mean Bianca's pregnant? How the hell do you know?" Drew snarls appearing suddenly with Becky just behind him.

"You got two girls pregnant Drew?" Becky asks in a snooty tone.

"No. No I mean Bianca's can't be mine, I don't think."

"It's mine, Bianca's baby is mine," I inform him. Then Drew reels back his fist and sucker punches me in the face so hard I hit the lockers.

"DREW!" Maya screams.

"Andrew what is wrong with you!" Clare shrieks running over to us. "What kind of example is that for your child?"

"He got Bianca pregnant," Drew tells her.

"Long after you and Bianca broke up we've been seeing each other for a month and she wants nothing to do with you," I enlighten him.

"I can't blame her, his own brother doesn't even want to hear his name," Clare comments taking my arm and walking me down the hall along with Maya. Drew looks wounded by her comment but he deserves it. They walk me to the nurse's office and I get an ice pack for my face. Clare and Maya sit with me while I hold the ice pack and I tell Clare a little about my situation with Bianca. "At least you want to be with her and you're doing all you can to make that happen. Drew is hardly around at all and usually makes such a big deal out of doing the smallest things. Thank goodness I have Eli and now Adam too."

"Yeah we heard he was back that's so weird, I mean great but we all thought he was dead," Maya says as the bell rings.

"Guess we better get to class," I sight putting the ice pack down again.

"If Drew bothers you again tell me," Clare insists before walking off to class.

Only a few people heard that I got Bianca pregnant so only a few people are talking about it. The big news of course it that Adam has returned from the dead. In fact it's pretty much all people talk about all morning even in class. At lunch I walk out front to get some air, I intend to walk through the ravine I'll come out near the drug store and I'll grab something for lunch. My mind is on Bianca and the baby so I don't hear the footsteps behind me until I'm grabbed and shoved against a tree. Vince holds me across the chest with a gun to temple.

"Hey Zig you didn't forget about me did you?"

I know it's a cruel cliffhanger and chapter two will be out during November one shot month and it will pick up from right here.
