This story takes place in 2025 at a Degrassi alumni fundraiser to try and save different programs within the school. It will include characters from the original Degrassi Jr High to present day. It also will have some new characters because let's face it these things happen when people go to University and out in the real world. It mainly focuses around owen Milligan and his family and how much people have changed over the years some for the better some not so much. On that note I don't own anything Degrassi related or else 14b would be airing,
Owen would still be a cast member, and the whole Drew and Clare thing would of never happened!
Chapter 1: Owen and Lilly
June 21, 2025. 9am the Milligan bedroom in Toronto Canada.
Lilly's POV
What about this one Owen? I said showing a picture. Owen? Hello? I'm sorry beautiful he said scooting over the edge of the bed and placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. You have no reason to be this worried about the alumni weekend. I said returning a kiss to my husband. Lil, you didn't know me in high school… I was a total dick to put it mildly. I fought, I harassed people, I even threw a transgender kid in to a window. He said putting his head in his hands. Owen! You have changed! If people can't see what a wonderful husband, father, teacher, and coach you've became they aren't worth our time. I said raising my eyebrows in a suggestive manner. Owen knew that look all too well from his wife of 10 years, he slowly leaned in to kiss her with more passion than he had in along time. The kiss was quickly disrupted as 4 little girls with blonde curls, big blue eyes came charging in their bedroom. Mommy, Daddy we are packed for grandma and grandpas the oldest Milligan daughter declared. Wonderful Molly! Owen said while picking up his daughter and tickling her. Daddy, when will Uncle Tris get to grandmas? Sabrina, he should be there soon. Owen answered placing a kiss in her curls. Mommy, I don't want to go said the smallest one with tears flowing down her cheek. Paisley, we will get you all in the morning and then Daddy and I have fun filled day planned! I said while rocking my baby girl and stroking her cheek. Owen noticed Kendall our 4 year old quietly looking at one of his year books from Degrassi. Kendy bring me the book and I'll show you what Daddy looked like in high school. He said, and she quickly jumped on his lap with the book. Owen, skimmed the pages and found an Ice Hounds page. There is your Daddy and his hockey team. I told the girls and rubbing Owen's arm. Daddy! Where's mommy's picture? Paisley asked. I didn't meet your mommy till University. Mommy went to a different high school. Owen told our girls as they giggled. Now, go get your shoes on and we will head to grandmas soon. He told the girls and they quickly ran down the hall except for the youngest Paisley who fiddled with the hem of her skirt still crying softly not wanting to spend the night away from her parents. Oh, honey do you think she'll be out of this clingy stage soon? I asked while rubbing my 5month baby bump. She'll be fine! Owen said while placing soft kisses on my bump.
Owen's POV
4 little girls strapped in car seats, with sippy cups in hand as Lilly started a princess movie for them to watch during the 30 minute drive to my parents house.I looked over at my beautiful wife with her long blonde curls that hit right about her waist, her bangs that were cut straight above her huge Safire eyes, her dimples when she smiled and that beautiful glow she had when she was with child or in this case with children. As we had found out earlier in the week she was carrying twins this go round. They were unable to tell the gender of the babies during the ultrasound, I have my hopes set on a boy or two. As I glanced in the back seat I knew I would gladly take a dozen more daughters. My girls are my world. Early into Lilly and my relationship we both knew we wanted to have a large family and in 10 years of marriage we had welcomed 4 beautiful girls. Molly Rose was our first she was born two weeks past her due date. I never felt more proud as I held the 8lb 7oz little girl in my arms. Sabrina Jolene was born 2 years later and decided to show up almost two months early giving us one of the biggest scares of our lives needing to be in the NICU for six weeks for lung development. 2Years later Kendall Grace showed up right on time and the 7lb little girl seemed to be the most patient child ever, and continues to be to this day. Six months after Kendall arrived Lilly had went to the doctor to be treated for what we thought was the flu only to find out Lilly was 8weeks pregnant with Paisley Olivia. She was our surprise, and probably the hardest of Lilly's pregnancies to date. We thought we'd take a break before adding to our family but on our 10th wedding anniversary and a trip to NYC for Lilly's book release a beautiful dinner, Lilly's slinky silver dress, few bottles of wine and an uninterrupted night of passion we are where we are today expecting #'s 5 & 6 to team Milligan. My thoughts were interrupted when Lilly asked me to pull over so she could run into the pharmacy and pick up a ginger ale to soothe her stomach. She hadn't had morning sickness much durning this pregnancy however car rides made her queasy. Before, she got out she gave me a kiss and said how did I get so lucky. I smiled and told her I was the lucky one. I truly was for Lilly and the girls are my everything. A few minutes later Lilly arrived carrying a bag from the pharmacy and we were back on our way. As we pulled into my parents drive I noticed my brother had already arrived as I unloaded our van and my mom came out and scopped up Paisley knowing Lilly couldn't lift her my hands were filled with overnight bags. Thanks mom I said. Lilly, said she's been extra clingy and difficult the last few weeks I figured you could use hand. Mom replied. We walked into my parents and I took the girls things into my old room. 8 years since Molly was born and it was still weird to me to see my old room painted pink, with dolls and frills everywhere. There was no denying my girls were complete girly girls from hair bows, to dresses to glittery little shoes. My dad snuck up behind me and knocked me out of trance. How's my boy he said smacking me on the back? I heard you had and ultrasound this past week any luck were welcoming a future hockey player in a few months? Lilly and I will tell you our news soon. I said with a smile. Oh, I like the sound of that… sounds like a boy to me he said walking away chuckling to himself. Mom and Lilly were sitting at the table with girls with glasses of iced tea talking when I returned, I poured a drink and joined them just as dad and Tris came in the room. I hear you have news to tell us Lilly my dad said sitting down . Tris said Not before uncle Tris showers his lovely nieces with presents! Presents! The girls shrieked in unison! They each kissed Tris on the cheek and continued to rip the glittery paper… Tristen! Those are American Girl Dolls! Lilly shouted. Tris smiled. aren't those like $100 each? You just bought four, that's way too much to spend. Lilly protested. Now, I pass that store every day on my way to work in New York and I don't get to see my girls very often… I'm their uncle and allowed to spoil them. Tris continued. Lilly looked at me shook her head. I had no idea what the dolls were, but Lilly had grew up in the states and knew a lot about them including just how pricey they were and how every little girl age 5-12 dreamed of owning one. I guess they were a huge deal. My dad got up and handed me a small gift bag. Now Owen said you have news from your ultrasound he said looking at Lilly. I didn't have to open it I knew it contained a tiny Maple Leaves jersey. We had recieved 4 others in the past every time we had the a 5 months ultrasound. I opened it and looked at Lilly and we both started laughing. Well? mom said . I smiled at Lilly and looked at my parents who were about to jump out of their seats in anticipation. I continued well, mom, dad you see theres a problem with this jersey… mom interrupts, another girl! She shouted! You see the problem is we need two jerseys. Twins! She shouted! Yes, I said kissing my beautiful wife on the cheek. However, they were unable to determine the gender… so, the only thing we know is we're having two healthy babies. This calls for celebration! Dinner out on me next weekend my father declared! You can't deny he's a proud grampy. Tris stated a bit snarky. We're all proud I shot back at Tris. Pulling my lovely wife into an embrace!
Lilly's POV
We left my in-laws around 1pm Paisley had fell asleep for her nap so Owen and I knew it would be easier to sneek away while she was sound asleep on her grandpas lap. The other 3 girls were playing with their dolls with Uncle Tris. He was so good to them, spoiling them every chance he could. Tris, we will see you tonight! I said as I hugged him goodbye. Oh, yes you will and it will be fab. He replied. Owen opened the van door for me and helped me step up to my seat before getting in the drivers side. I really couldn't ask for a more caring, loving husband, and it was almost unbelievable the stories he told me about when he was in high school and how much of a bully he was. I had never seen this in him not one bit. Owen, and I had met in 2014 while we both attended TU. My friend had dragged me to a hockey game after I had lost my mother and younger sister to a car accident that left me alone in this world. It was probably my darkest time. I had lost my father several years before at age 15. He was in the U.S. Army and never returned from a mission over seas, his plane was shot down and there were no survivors. My mother, Rose had moved my sister Molly and me back to Canada so she could be near her friends to help her get our lives back together. At the hockey game I really felt out of place, I was still mourning and would of rather been back in my Apartment drinking a bottle of rum alone than spending time with a huge crowd of people. Our seats were right by the penalty box and I noticed every time a certain dark haired, blue eyed boy would go in he'd smile and stare. There was something that mesmerized me about his kind smile. About his 3rd time in he knocked on the plexy glass to get my attention and screamed "meet me at the after party!" it was the first time I smiled in weeks as I waited at a small table at bar close to campus for the TU hockey team to arrive to celebrate and I could talk to him. 4 hours and a few shots later I was walking in my small apartment with Owen Milligan. It was a heated moment with passionate kisses, clothes flying, and Owen! God he was beautiful. The next morning I woke up with a bit of a hangover to an empty bed. My heart about dropped when I woke to see him there with coffee. I had never had a one night stand before and hooking up with a random guy after a hockey game was new to me. However he stayed with me the entire day. We talked and really got to know a lot about each other. As backwards as our relationship was it had always felt right. I knew loved Owen a short time later when he refused to let me spend the holidays alone. We stayed with his parents and younger brother and they treated me like family. As hard as that Christmas was without the Owen andhis family i would of probably slipped into a deep depression. They honestly saved me from a dark period. It was New Years when I realized I was pregnant. Owen took the news well. He asked me to marry him a few days later, we announced it to his family the engagement the following weekend. We had decided on a very small wedding on Valentine's Day. Mainly his family and a few close friends. Three days after our announcement was the most horrific day of our lives I woke at 2am in a pool of blood. I woke up Owen having a panic attack . Owen carried me to the car and ran me into ER in his arms. 2 hours, several doctors, and an ultrasound to see our baby had no heartbeat I was rushed in for a DNC. Owen and I didn't talk much for the next two days even though he never left my side. We both were just in a zombie state with puffy red eyes. We never let each other see the other one cry even though it was apparent we both had been. It was around midnight on the second post op day while we were both pretending to be watching some made for t.v. movie when I looked at him and said, " you're off the hook you don't have to marry me now." His eyes about popped out of his head he grabbed me by my shoulders and said, " I didn't ask you because you were pregnant! It did help give me the courage, but I asked because I'm in LOVE with YOU! The only way I won't continue with this wedding is because you don't feel the same about me as I do about you!" On Valentine's we said our vows and have been happy ever since. Now, we've had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day we are in love. My memories were soon disrupted when Owen had said we had arrived at the restaurant to meet with a few of his Degrassi Alumni for lunch.
