I heard Kenny Chesny's song There Goes My Life today on my way home and I've been wanting to write a story centered on it, but never knew what fandom to use and what two characters to be leads. But then I got to thinking Owen and Clare, I love them so why not? Here is the first chapter there will be more I promise.

I do not own Degrassi.

Owen sat in the empty locker room of the Ice Hounds stunned. Clare Edwards, St. Clare was pregnant, and the child was his. Owen stared at the wall in disbelief of the times he and Anya had been together she hadn't got pregnant, and they hadn't exactly been safe a few times. But the one time he drunkenly hooks up with Clare at the Torres house she gets pregnant that just seemed like a cruel joke. He sat on the bench and tears came to his eyes, he was supposed to ditch this town forget all about Degrassi and go to New York on a hockey scholarship, now it felt like all his dreams were going up in smoke. How could he have been so carless? He was still a kid himself and Clare had informed him that she had no intentions of getting an abortion or giving their child up for adoption, like her friend Jenna had done. She had promised him that she wouldn't reveal the fathers identity until he was ready if he ever was. Owen stood up and punched the wall, all his dreams were gone. He was thinking so intently that he didn't hear someone come in the locker room, and sit next to him. Mike Dallas sat down next to Owen, who didn't even realize he wasn't alone until Dallas put his hand on Owen's shoulder causing the blue eyed boy to jump.

"Jesus Dallas! Give a guy some warning next time would you?" Owen told the Ice Hounds captain. Dallas rolled his eyes at his team mate.

"Sorry man you were in deep thought, you okay?" Dallas asked after Cam had passed Dallas felt it was his responsibility to help every member of his team even if he didn't necessarily know them very well. Owen pulled at his hair, unsure if he should tell Dallas or not.

"If I tell you something do you swear on your life that you won't tell a living soul?" Owen demanded his voice cracking a bit. Dallas looked at the state of his team mate and nodded.

"I swear." Dallas swore his voice full of sincerity.

"I got Clare Edwards pregnant." Owen whispered looking at everything in the room except at Dallas.

"I'm sorry man you're going to have to say it again." Dallas told him straining his ears to hear the distraught teenager. Owen cleared his throat and took a deep breath.

"I got Clare Edwards pregnant; she is going to have my kid." He told him. Owen sat there for a moment waiting for the backlash that was bound to come from his captain. Dallas was shocked of all the girls he had met at Degrassi the one he least expected to get pregnant was Clare Edwards, who even though Dallas was not a student at the school at the time was still called St. Clare.

"Let me get this straight you, Owen Milliagan, got St. Clare, Clare Edwards, pregnant? I'm sorry I'm having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this." Dallas explained getting up and pacing the locker room.

"I know. I can't believe it either. I mean it was one night." Owen told him banging his head against the wall.

"How? I mean doesn't she have a purity ring?" Dallas asked curiosity lacing his breathe. Owen sighed and shook his head.

"She did, but after her parents divorcé she said it didn't really mean much. What?" He explained and stopped when he saw the look Dallas was giving him.

"Dude how do you know all that?" Dallas asked, looking at Owen like he had two heads.

"I head her and Adam talking about it at the Torres house. Better question is how don't you hear this stuff? You live right where everyone hangs out." Owen asks genuinely curious. Dallas just shrugs his shoulders.

"What are you going to do?" Dallas asked. Now it was Owens turn to look at Dallas like he had two heads.

"You think I know? Clare came to practice to tell me. She said no one else knew, she went to the clinic by the Dot and she wasn't going to tell people right away." Owen explained. "How am I supposed to raise a kid when I'm still one myself? I got accepted into NYU on a sports scholarship, and I know I can't go. There goes my life." He told him. He didn't notice that Dallas had pulled out his phone and handed it to Owen on the screen was a little boy with black hair in a little afro in a toddlers hockey outfit.

"This is Rocky, my son. You, Ali, Clare and the Torres are the only ones at Degrassi who know about him. I got my girlfriend at the time, Vanessa, pregnant when we were fifteen. I know what you are going through man but the moment you hear them call you Daddy makes it worth it, believe me. It's been rough these past few months without the little munchkin around. I'm going to tell you something no one but Fiona knows, the day we found out about Cam? I tried to commit suicide; I tried to jump off the roof, in a drunken rage. He was the only thing that made me reconsider. It changes things for sure, I'm not graduating this year because I missed a bunch of school after Rock was born, and after I do graduate I'm not going anywhere extravagant because I got my little Rock to look after. I know right know it seems like you're kissing your life goodbye but you're not, even though you and Clare are going to have A LOT of issues ahead I have a feeling you two can make it. If you need help I got your back dude. I'm not going to tell you what to do. That is up to you, just remember that little kid needs a father figure and I don't think it would take much to get the Goth kid to be that figure." Dallas lectured. Owen sat there in shock, he knew other kids at the school have had kids, K.C and Jenna and he even heard rumors that Mr. Simpsons wife was pregnant in middle school and had kept her daughter. He shook his head, he knew what he had to do and the first thing involved talking to Clare.
