flashback
"You cheated on me?" Ellie snapped at her husband Sean. The two had been married almost two years and things were getting rocky. Ellie's career was taking off and the garage that Sean was starting with Jay wasn't doing so well. It could have been jealousy or even the pressure of having a 1 year old son, but regardless... they were starting to crumble.
"It was one night. And I wish it never happened. Look El, I love you... only you." He said trying to explain. He thought that telling her the truth would be the best thing to do. But now it seamed like in doing that he had put the final nail in the coffin that was his marriage.
"Then why were you with her. Why did you have to go and sleep with Emma. God, her of all people Sean. You know I always felt like second best with her." She cried. The sight of her looking so hurt killed him, especially knowing that he was the one who hurt her.
"I'm sorry." He said lamely.
"Don't! Do not tell me you're sorry." She cried.
"I don't know what to do." He said honestly.
"I don't care. You feeling lost and confused really doesn't bother me. You did this Sean YOU." She said angrily before getting quiet.
"We were fighting all the time and I just, I felt like I wasn't enough for you anymore." He told her.
"So this is my fault now?" She asked.
"I didn't say that. I just...look I saw Emma at a bar and she was feeling crappy about her marriage to Peter and it just happened." He said. She shook her head sadly before leaving.

Introductions - When I First Saw You
"Looks like we made it." 38 year old Ellie Cameron said to her Husband Sean as they sipped their coffee together, basking in the early morning peace. Their usually noisy house was quiet for the moment, something they would need to cherish for the craziness that would come in only minutes.
"Yup, we made it to another year with all four of the kids alive and kickin'." Sean said squeezing her hand affectionately. It was amazing that they were still so hopelessly in love after all these years. Some people would say that they never would have expected them to find their way back to each other. Others would argue that they knew they'd end up together all along. Cough...Paige...Cough. But regardless of any of that they managed to stay happily married for 18 wonderful years.
"And in another 3 minutes the madness begins again." She sighed leaning her head back and resting her eyes. Sean smiled and gazed at his wife. Dressed in crips, fitting blue jeans and a snug brown knit sweater, Ellie looked effortlessly beautiful... just like she always had.
"Hey El... you ever miss it? High school I mean." Sean asked her thinking back to the time they spent together back then, how he had first fallen in love with her.
"Not really. I guess I never really fit in during high school. It was okay, but I like our life now." She said smiling as the sound of their daughters alarm rang and the sound of Pink Floyd's 'Keep Talkin' filled their ears. They both laughed and shook their heads.
"She is so your daughter." Sean said poking her in the side before getting up to put his cup in the sink.
"Oh please Mr...Marissa should be able to have whatever kind of alarm clock she wants as long as she gets up on time." Ellie said laughing and trying to imitate Sean's voice.
"That's not how I sound." He said smirking.
"You're right it's more like... Oh come on El, let them have some fun. They only get to be kids once." She said standing up and walking over to him still laughing.
"Oh yeah?" He asked grinning.
"But wait, let me go get my wife beater first, cuz ah, I really can't have this conversation with out flexing my arms." She said laughing hysterically.
"I see how it is." Sean said before grabbing her waste and tickling her until she was practically falling down.
"Okay, okay I give up. You win." She said through her giggles. He stopped tickling her but kept his hands firmly around her waist and lowered his forehead to her own.
"I do don't I?" He said before leaning in for a kiss. The pitter patter of feet coming down the stairs went unnoticed as the couple continued to display their affection for one another.
flashback
"She's pregnant." Ellie repeated quietly to herself as if it would help her understand the situation somewhat better. Sean had just informed her that Emma was pregnant with his child.
"I'm sorry." He said gently touching her arm. She flinched it out of his grasp and took a step back. He sighed at the realization that after months of working to get their marriage back on track this would ruin it.
"She's sure it's yours?." She said avoiding eye contact. He nodded reluctantly.
"When she found out she was pregnant she waited until they could perform a paternity test to tell me. It's mine." He said.
"Are you...I mean...what's going to happen?" She asked.
"I'm going to be in this child's life, but my home is here with you El. Nothing can change that." He said stepping towards her. This time she didn't back away.
"Are you sure. Because it's not just me this affects, you have to think about Parker and about the baby you're going to have. You need to be sure." She said.
"Being with you and our son is the only thing I am sure of." He said. Slowly and carefully he leaned in to kiss her. The first kiss between the two in months. A baby that could have easily put even more distance between the two some how brought them together.
end
"Oh gross! How am I supposed to eat breakfast now?" 15 year old Marissa Cameron said covering her eyes. The couple broke apart and looked to see Marissa along with her 16 year old sister Scarlet standing in the kitchen. While Marissa looked like she was fighting the urge to gag, Scarlet had a sweet smile adorning her face.
"I think it's cute." She said nudging her sister with her elbow. Marissa looked at her as if she had 3 heads before walking away and opening the refrigerator door.
"I always knew I liked you best." Sean said smiling at his oldest daughter while Marissa rolled her eyes and continued to scan the kitchen for food.
"Yeah right, we all know I'm the favorite." 17 year old Parker said coming into the kitchen and ruffling Scarlet's hair, witch earned him a swat on the arm and a deathly glare.
"Oh goody Parker's awake." Scarlet said flatly before walking across the kitchen and stealing a sip of orange juice from her sisters glass.
"Hey! You don't even life OJ." Marissa cried grabbing the glass again.
"Chill out it was just a sip." She said holding her hands up in surrender.
"Well who knows what kind of germs you have from all the kissing you and Tyler do." She shot back.
"Whoa, hey... kissing? How much kissing are we talking about hear?" Sean asked looking worried.
"Dad..." Scarlet said looking beyond annoyed.
"Sean she's 16 and look at her... she's beautiful. She's gonna have boyfriends, we should be thank full that she picked a guy like Tyler." Ellie told him as she gathered her papers for work.
"Yeah, yeah." He said before looking at his youngest daughter and raising his eyebrows. She smiled and made her way next to him.
"I'll give you the dirt later." She whispered while the rest of the family were busied with preparations for the morning.
"I knew you were my favorite." He said earning a smack on the back of his head from Ellie and an eye roll from Marissa.

"Tyler! Get down here right now!" Paige Mason yelled up to her 16 year old son. Tyler was notoriously late for everything. just like his father. Paige sighed and rubbed her head. She had exactly 20 minutes to get to work and really didn't have the time to worry about whether or not her son was up for school.
"If you want to take off for work mom, I can make she Ty gets up." her 15 year old daughter Alexa said making her way into the family room. She examined her daughters wardrobe and was pleased to find that it was very reminiscent of something she would wear at 15. With stylish blue jeans, a red top and a fitted leather jacket, Alexa was very much the fashionista that her mother once was.
"No, I wouldn't put you through that hon. TYLER!" She yelled again.
"Jeeze ma, blow my ear drums why dontcha'." Tyler said coming up from behind her and startling her.
"Get up the first time I call and you won't have that problem." She said raising her eyebrows and daring him to argue. Yup, Paige was still as intimidating as ever. Which made her perfect for her surprising role as a CEO of a huge company.
"Whatever. Did dad already go to work?" He asked as he laced up his shoes. Spinner became the manager of the Dot and worked hard to keep the place in perfect condition. While he was still the same goofy Spinner, he had adjusted nicely to his roll as a father and member of working society.
"Yes, he's working early all week. So that means you need to figure out a way to get to school until your car is fixed." She said quickly gathering her things and putting on her jacket.
"It'll be done by tomorrow." He muttered.
"Well that doesn't help today. Start making some calls you have 15 minutes to find you AND your sister a ride." She said making her way to the door.
"Wait a second. School doesn't start for like an hour and why can't she find her own ride?" He said stopping his mother before she left.
"You are not calling people last minute to get a ride, this should have been taken care of days ago and -" Before she was finished he interrupted.
"It was taken care of. Dad was supposed to drive." He said.
"He told you he MIGHT be able to. You were supposed to have a back up ready for you AND you sister. No arguments. Just get on the phone and get to school." She said before shutting the door and leaving no room for discussion.
"Great." He said letting his head fall back and hit the wall.
"Moves like that are the reason your brain is so unbelievably damaged." Alexa said to him smirking.
0000000000
"Can I drive today?" Scarlet asked as her mother left the room to get Sam. Sam was Sean and Ellie's 3 year old son, he was admittedly a surprise to both of them. Since Ashley stayed at home to run a small daycare, Sam usually spent the day their.
"No way!" Parker exclaimed from his seat at the kitchen table. Sean had left for work and Marissa was upstairs finishing getting ready, so it was just the two of them in the kitchen.
"You always get the car even though it's supposed to be BOTH of ours." She shot back angrily.
"Yeah because I bought it." He told her.
"You only bought the parts. And I was the one who helped dad fix it." She said.
"Who pays for the insurance?" He asked.
"We split it." She countered.
"Hardly, I pay way more." He fired.
"Oh yeah way more... 60 percent to my 40." She said sarcastically.
"Whatever it's still more. " He said.
"Well I need it more today." She told him.
"What do you need it for. You have practice after school so it's just going to sit in the parking lot all afternoon. At least I would get some use out of it." He said raising his voice.
"Right stealing stuff with Ben is SO productive." She shot back.
"You know what Scarlet..." He said threateningly.
"What's going on here." Ellie said coming down the stairs with Sam in her arms and Marissa trailing behind. Scarlet and Parker both started complaining and trying to get Ellie to see things their way. Looking at her children, Ellie couldn't help but feel beyond lucky that they were hers, especially after everything that happened.
flashback
"I can't do this anymore Sean." Emma Nelson said over the phone... Earlier that week Emma had dropped her and Sean's daughter Scarlet off to stay with Sean and Ellie. Things were civil between the two even though Ellie and Sean had gotten back together and Peter and Emma were still having problems. The custody arrangement stated that one year old Scarlet would spend every other week with each parent for the time being. Up until recently that seamed to be working just fine.
"Can't do what Emma? Be a mother?" Sean asked angrily. Emma had just told him that she wouldn't be coming by to pick Scarlet up later that week or any other week. Her and Peter had packed up their things and moved. They now lived in the US, Maine to be specific, and were planning on staying there for a very long time.
"Sean it isn't working. My marriage isn't like yours, it's falling apart." She said crying.
"So you're abandoning your daughter because that ass hole can't stand that we have a kid together." He said angrily. He could hear her sobbing on the other end of the phone, but he was too upsett to care.
"It's not like that. There's just to much history there. Peter and I need to start somewhere fresh." She tried to explain.
"Okay, fine. So I'll have full custody, but we can figure out a way for her to visit." He said trying his best to work things out. Him and Emma may not be the loves of each others lives, but he liked to think that after everything they were still friends. He knew what it was like not to have a parent and he didn't want his daughter to go through that.
"No Sean, I already have this figured out." She said with conviction.
"You're her mother Emma!" He yelled.
"I'm pregnant! Okay, I'm pregnant with twins and Peter wants us to be a family. A real family." She said.
"And our daughter disturbs your perfect little picket fence life?" He asked incredulously.
"I love her Sean! Okay, more than anything. But I have to think about what's best for everyone. How is it good for her if she grows up split between two families, feeling like she doesn't belong in either." She cried.
"How is it good for her knowing her mother didn't love her enough to stay. Come on Em, Ellie and I figured out how to make things work with Scarlet and Parker, can't you do the same. Can't you love her enough to stay?" He asked.
"I love her enough to let go." She whispered before hangning up.
end
"QUIET!" She exclaimed. They both shut up immediately, knowing that their mother rarely raised her voice and when she did it was serious.
"I don't have time for this, I have to get Sam to Ashley's and then head to the station. So just work it out on your own." She said rushing around the kitchen to collect her things. Ellie took over Caitlin's old job at the TV station and it continued to be one of the most popular programs around.
"Fine." The kids said glaring at one another.
"Okay so you're dad and I both have to work late tonight so you'll have to fend for yourselves for dinner. Scarlet do you think you can pick up Sam from the Brook's after cheerleading?" Ellie asked.
"Sure mom. Justin invited us all over after practice anyway. But since I'll be picking Sam up, shouldn't I get the car?" She said. Justin was the son of Jimmy and Ashley Brooks. He was the same age as Scarlet and they were good friends. He was also the star of Degrassi's basketball team while Jimmy coached the team.
"That's so lame! Mom, she can get a ride from Chelsea!" Parker said. Chelsea is the 16 year old adoptive daughter of Marco. Marco is the single father of two other kids as well, Holly who is also 16 and Matt who's 15. Tim and Marco ended up getting together and adopting him, but a few years ago Tim died in a car accident.
"Guys, you agreed you were responsible enough to have this car, so it's your responsibility to figure this out! Now I really have to go. Have a good day, I love you!" She said kissing them each on the head before rushing out the door.
"How about I drive?" Marissa said which earned her a glare from each of her siblings.
0000000000
"Did mom and dad already leave for work?" 15 year old Seth Stone asked his twin sister Cassie. She barley glanced at him as she carefully applied her make-up. God forbid she messed up.
"They always leave before we wake up." She snapped at him. He rolled his eyes and left the room, knowing that she was in one of her 'moods'. Seth and Cassie were twins but they were complete opposites. While Seth was one of the sweetest kids you'd ever meet, Cassie was somewhat of a bully.
"Seth, wait!" She said stopping him in the hallway with a sweet smile. He eyed her suspiciously knowing that she was about to ask him for a favor. He raised his eyebrows and urged her to hurry up and ask whatever it was she was going to ask.
"Um, how are you getting to school?" She asked innocently.
"Matt said that Chelsea could drive us, and no you can't get a ride." He told her. Seth and Matt were best friends and had been since they were kids. Cassie however didn't exactly hang out with the same people that her brother did.
"Why not?" She asked angrily.
"Because, Chelsea hates you and I doubt she'd want to give you a ride." He told her as he made his way down stairs.
"Well you can't just leave me here stranded." She whined.
"Two words Cassandra, Bus pass." He said using her full name to annoy her even more.
"You're such a jerk." She said to him.
"Maybe if you made more friends than enemies you'd have a ride." He said grabbing a sweatshirt as a horn honked outside.
"Seth if you don't get Chelsea to give me a ride then I swear i'll tell mom you left me here." She said to him.
"Oh yeah?" He said staring her down. She nodded and tried to look as intimidating as possible.
"Well I'll just tell mom that the reason Chels won't give you a ride is because you are a complete and total bitch to her best friend. Who happens to be moms other daughter." He said low and threateningly.
"I hate you." She whispered as the horn beeped again.
"Have fun on the bus." He said smirking before walking out the door and leaving her there.
0000000000
"Who cares who drives, we have like five minutes before we need to leave. Flip a coin of something." Marissa said, sick of hearing her siblings argue.
"Riss, shut up." Parkers said to her. Before anything else could be said Scarlet's phone went off and the sound of Justin Timberlake's 'My Love' filled the room. A smile immediately filled her face and she began to answer it.
"Hey, we aren't done here yet. Talk to you your stupid boyfriend when we get to school." Parkers said. Ignoring him she flipped her phone open.
"Hey." She said brightly.
"Or just go ahead and answer it." Parker said sarcastically.
"That sucks, umm you know what... yeah that would be fine. Of course she can. I'm sure Parker won't mind." Marissa and Parker waited patiently and listened to one side of the conversation.
"What won't I mind?" He said skeptically.
"Yeah, okay. I'll see you in a while. I love you too. Bye." She said hanging up and looked at Parker sweetly.
"What?" He asked.
"You can drive." She said simply.
"Really? That easy?" He asked confused about her sudden change.
"Sure. I mean you're right, you do pay for the insurance and I'm sure Chels can drive me home from Justin's." She said getting her things together.
"Cool, lets go then." He said.
"Finally." Marissa said as they all headed for the door. Just as they were about to leave Scarlette stopped Parker.
"Oh, um Tyler and Alexa need a ride to school, just for today though. So I told them you wouldn't mind." She said before hurrying off outside. Parker sighed and slammed the door shut making his way to the car.
"Damn it Scarlet." He muttered.
0000000000
"Why hello there Degrassi. Long time no see." 16 year old Justin Brooks said smiling to himself as he pulled up to the school in his black Mercedes. It was no secret that after inheriting all of his parents money, Jimmy Brooks and his family became extremely wealthy. Grabbing his basketball equipment from the backseat, Justin began walking towards the building. Before even reaching the steps his spotted more than a few drama-filled situations already in the works.
"I had to ride the bus Julia! The bus...by myself." an extremely angry Cassie Stone yelled at her best friend Julia Manning.
"Stop being so dramatic. It's not my fault that Manny bailed on giving us a ride so that she could stay out late with her new boy toy." Julia said rolling her eyes. Julia was the daughter of rock star Craig and Manny Manning. And yes she calls her mother by her first name. Manny says it makes her feel younger, that along with the countless men she fools around with while Craig's on tour.
"Another new one? Hmm...that so...not the point!" She said trying to stay on track and yell at Manny.
"Cass..." Julia said trying to calm her down.
"Maybe it wasn't your fault that you mom bailed, but it was your fault that you bailed so that you could ride with Trey Atwood." She snapped.
"He's on of the hottest guys in grade 11, don't act like you'd say no to a ride with him." She said.
"I'd at least ask him to pick you up too." She shot back.
"And miss out on some hot morning kissage...I think not." She said before bouncing off inside the building.
"Wait you kissed him? I want details!" Cassie yelled after her. Justin shook his head at the girls stupid behavior and began making his way up the steps only to notice Seth and his girlfriend Alexa arguing... like always.
"I had to sit in the back of a car with my brother and his girlfriend while they made out the whole way to school... with old Eminem songs blasting on the radio!" Alexa yelled at him.
"How was I supposed to know you needed a ride?" Seth countered.
"You just were!" She said before storming off. Justin chuckled to himself and patted Seth on the back as he passed.
"Stay strong man." He said.
"Yeah..." Seth responded rubbing a hand through his hair. Entering the building Justin was greeted with a whole new scene of drama. Before he was able to inspect any of it a video camera was shoved in his face by none other than 15 year old Courtney York.
"Hey!" He exclaimed shoving it out of his face and glaring at the girl with blue streaks in her hair. She was unique for sure, but defiantly not unpopular.
"Any thoughts on the first day of school?" She asked him in a professional voice. Courtney always had her video camera with her. She had been interested in directing ever since she was 10. Her and her best friend Marissa had been looking through Marissa's attic for dress up clothes and instead they found Ellie's old camera. Courtney loved it instantly and Ellie and even let her have it. Of course she had a more advanced camera now, but she still kept that one.
"Yeah, I'd like to get to my locker thanks." He said brushing past her.
"Wait! Have you seen Marissa?" She asked him.
"Why would I have any idea where Marissa was?" He asked.
"Well your friends with Scarlet and Scarlet is Marissa's sister." She explained. Courtney absolutely loved everything about the Cameron family. She loved that the house was always loud and busy. She was an only child. Her mother Darcy worked for a company outside of town and her father JT was a comedian and traveled a lot. She absolutely hated silence. Because of this she spent a lot of time at the Cameron house hold.
"Thanks for the history lesson, but I have that chapter covered." He said rolling his eyes.
"Well I just thought maybe you saw her. Oh never mind there she is! Bye!" She said rushing off to catch her friend. With an annoyed grunt Justin continued on through the hall until he reached his friends.
"Hey, party people!" He exclaimed greeting them all.
"What's up man?" Tyler said slapping hands with his best friend. Just like Jimmy and Spinner, Tyler and Justin had been best friends all their lives. Along with Scarlet, Chelsea, Nate, and Holly, they were the most popular kids in school.
"Not much. Praying this is a dream and when I wake up it'll still be summer." He laughed while Tyler agreed with him.
"Come on guys, it's not that bad. School can be fun." Scarlet said popping her head out of her locker. The two boys looked at each other and then at Scarlet as if she were crazy.
"You're kidding right?" Justin asked.
"Seriously Scar, even I agree with duff us over there, school blows." Chelsea said as Holly nodded along with her.
"Well I like it." She said shutting her locker.
"Man control your girl, she's talking crazy." Justin said to Tyler.
"Like anyone could shut her up." Nate Hogart said walking up to the group. Nate was with out a doubt Scarlet's best friend. Some people thought it was weird, but they had been friends since they were little. Jay and Sean ran a garage together and Alex and Ellie were good friends so the two families naturally spent a lot of time together. Like Ben and Parker, Nate and Scarlet were inseparable even as kids. Their friendship continued to stay strong even through high school.
"Ha Ha." Scarlet said glaring at him. He laughed and gave her a quick hug before slapping hands with Justin and Tyler.
"I could shut you up you know." Tyler said to Scarlet.
"No you couldn't." She said smiling. With out warning he leaned and and kissed her hard and long.
"We've only been here like 10 minutes and it's already started." Holly said.
"Yup, that's my boy." Justin said smiling proudly. When Tyler pulled away, Scarlet kept her eyes shut for a second before snapping back to reality and smacking him in the chest.
"Ow!" He yelped.
"I can't believe you!" She said before storming away with Tyler following behind apologizing.
"And so the year begins." Justin said laughing.

AUTHORS NOTE : Well I hope you like it so far. I want to remind everyone that this is not an actual plot, it is just meant to introduce everyone and help you get a feel for the characters. The other chapters will be in a more traditional Degrassi fashion. Each episdoe will deal with a few characters and an issue. It will also have heave romantic plots and friendship driven story lines. So I hope you will continue to give it a chance. I know it starts slow but it WILL pick up. Thank you 3
