you mind if I only put this disclaimer once? I'm not going to start owning
Degrassi anytime soon.
Emma ran around the house, cradling the phone in between her head and her shoulder, picking up toys, and trying to make Lisa, her one month old baby, stop crying.
"Yes, Manny I know," Emma said. "I can't go...no...because Lisa...she is not some kid, she's my daughter...I know....look I'm sorry...Snake and Spike are out that's why...no I...CRAP!"
Emma had just dropped the phone into a bowl of baby food. Lisa stopped crying and giggled. Then she started in right again.
"AHHHHHH!!!!" Emma screamed. "WHEN WILL IT END?"
Spike came in the door, back from shopping. Surveying the damage, she told Emma to go and talk on the other phone in the basement. Then she wiped off the phone that fell in the food, and gently took Lisa and rocked her back and forth. Lisa stopped crying almost immediately.
"Well," Emma sighed. "I just don't have that mother gene yet."
Rushing down to the basement, she picked up the phone and heard that Manny was still on the other line.
"Sorry about that," Emma said.
"It's okay," Manny said. "I'm used to it by now. Now, as I was saying, you so have to come to my party. It will be so great; everyone from Degrassi will be there. You and I can be the life of the party. You can even come over earlier. I will help you get ready. My parents are out of town so they won't bother us...the only reason I can have this party is because they took that "business" trip to Aruba."
"Look Manny, I'm sorry, but I can't" Emma said. "Lisa is too young for a baby sitter, and Spike and Snake won't be here."
"Emma," Manny whined.
"Sorry," Emma said. Not wanting to hear any more complaints she said goodbye and quickly hung up the phone.
She lay back on her pillows and sighed. She loved Lisa more than anything, but she also missed being a kid. It was hard being a single parent. Oh, how she hated Sean for making her single.
After two weeks of caring for Emma and Lisa, Sean bailed. He called Emma up and said that he needed to be a kid, and that he had his whole life ahead of him. He said that she was to demanding, and that he was leaving her. The next day Emma had spotted him with the new girl Brianna, holding her hand and kissing her in the hallway. Fuming with anger, Emma tried to get a case making him pay child support. And although a check once a month from Sean was helping her, it wasn't the same. She still hated Sean for what he had done. She was living with the consequences, why couldn't he?
Emma fell asleep and slept for an hour. When she woke up, feeling a little better, she walked back upstairs. She found Snake and Spike sitting on the couch, deeply in discussion about something.
As soon as Emma entered the room, they stopped talking. Giving them a strange look as if to say, "What is going on?" she sat down slowly on the couch and looked at them expectantly.
"What's up?" she asked.
Spike smiled gently.
"Emma," she said. "Your actions of wanting to raise your baby are very...noble...but..."
"But we think that," Snake interrupted.
Spike told him that she wanted to tell her.
"Tell me what?" Emma shouted. "Tell me now!"
"Em," Spike said quietly and way to calm. "We think that you are too young to raise a baby. At first we thought you could do it, but it is too chaotic for any of us, including you, to handle. That's why we think that you should let us take Lisa to raise as one of our own."
So...how is it so far? Please give me some reviews. And feel free to criticize, I want to do everything I can to make it as good as possible.
