I Disclaim: I have no affiliation with Degrassi or Degrassi the next generation, I'm not even Canadian lol, but... I love the show and I wanted to do A fic for a while. It is not necessarily in proper sequence of how things happened on the show but give it a chance and let me know what you think. So here we go my first Degrassi Fic.
Liberty stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror. No matter how much she tried to hide it she knew it was still there.
It... It is a baby, and I think I am starting to love him, or her.
Liberty went to make sure her bedroom door was locked. Slowly she walked back over to her full length mirror. She unzipped her over sized jacket and slowly lifted her shirt.
I can't believe how big you're getting, soon I will have to tell everyone, I won't be able to hide you anymore.
Liberty slowly rubbed the place where she thought her baby's back may be, she was scared and confused, she knew this was real but she was only 15. She was intelligent and finally coming into her own. There was one thing she was certain of however, she loved this baby and no one, not JT, not school, not her parent's would make her give her child away.
"I don't know Tobes, It's like she doesn't understand how hard this is going to be for us, we can't take care of a baby, we can barely take care of ourselves. If I can get her to go for this adoption thing, it will be like we are saving our futures and we are helping someone who can't have kids you know." JT was so stressed, this was the third morning in a row that he had rambled to Toby about his predicament. He had lost track of reality all he could think of was that if Liberty kept this baby his life would be over.
" Watch where you're going J.T you amost knocked me over." Ellie said angrily as she quickly grabbed her papers up from off of the ground.
"Oh I'm sorry Ellie I didn't know you were right there. I guess that's what I get for walking backwards." J.T chuckled nervously, he always had been a little afraid of Ellie, just looking into her eyes made him feel like she was going to suck his life from him.
"Whatever, I'm not in the mood, just watch where you are going next time." Ellie couldn't believe the predicament she was in, how could she have been so stupid, and with Jimmy of all people, her best friend's boyfriend. She should have told Ashley that day they talked, what kind of friend was she, she should have let her know that Jimmy was playing her.
(flash back)
"Jimmy is having trouble making love to me Ellie, I can see how much it's tearing him up inside. I just don't know what to do."
Funny he didn't have any trouble getting it up for me, as a matter of fact he told me he would leave you cuz you never did turn him on.
Ashley looked angrily at Ellie, she could tell her friend wasn't listening for the simple fact that she hadn't responded to her.
"Thanks a lot for caring Elle, I'm sorry that my life is so boring to you."
"What?" Ellie asked snapping back to reality, "no Ash, I was listening, I was just thinking about me and Sean you know, how I wish we could have been intimate at least I would have some experience. I can just sympathize with you is all."
Good cover, too bad it was a lie, I need to tell her, I need to tell her that I am sleeping with her boyfriend.
(End Flashback)
"And now I'm pregnant." Ellie thought to herself, "How could I be such a slut, I mean I can't keep it, I'll lose my friends, my family and my year." Ellie opened her locker to see her calendar staring her down, she hadn't gotten her period in almost four months, maybe it was about time she went to a doctor.
"It's great isn't it," Craig said as he came up to Ellie from behind.
"What's great?" Ellie asked nervously hoping that she hadn't just been thinking out loud.
"Our gig at the talent showcase on Friday of course, you have been practicing right."Craig had a ridiculous confidence in Ellie, one that nobody else understood, especially his girlfriend Manny.
Like I've had time to practice with everything else that's going on right now.
"You bet Craig, to the beat, to the beat... um how's Manny doing," Ellie smiled trying to shift the focus of the conversation from herself.
" Uh terrible," Craig said a little confused by Ellie's sudden concern with her. "Ever since we found out she was pregnant again," Craig began to whisper so nobody could hear. "She's been kinda beating herself up, she thinks I'm mad at her, she wants to keep it this time." All of a sudden a stupid grin came to Craig's face." I can't be mad at her for it though, but I guess I should be."
It's a fucking epidemic everyone is getting knocked up this year, yep the world is going to hell.
Ellie looked at her friend sympathetically, although she and Manny weren't the best of friends, she finally could feel for the girl and truly empathize with her. At least Craig was there for Manny, something she knew Jimmy would never be for her.
"So how does Emma's mom feel about the baby? Better yet how do your parent's feel about it." Manny and Liberty had been passing notes back in forth during class that morning. Ever since they had found out that they were both pregnant, they had become better friends than ever, to say that Emma was jealous would have been the understatement of the year.
"Well Ms. Nelson is taking it ok but I kinda don't want to stay there with a baby, Craig said he is thinking of something." Manny took a deep breath as she thought about her parent's reaction.
"Aren't you going to talk to your daughter, this has gone on long enough and now she is going to have a baby." Manny's mother pleaded with her father for the fifth time that afternoon.
"I told you already I don't have a daughter, I never had one." With that said her father went in his office and slammed the door.
"I'm so sorry Manuella, I wish there was something that I could do, I could give you money for another abortion if you would like, another one, oh Manuella when did your life go down such a twisted path." Manny's mother cried.
"I'm not getting another abortion mother, and I can't believe you would even suggest it. I don't need anything from either of you, and you can tell that man in there that I don't have a father either, I never have, and he will never see his grandchild." Manny gave her mother a final tearful look and slammed the door.
"Manny...Manny...Manny! Liberty finally yelled as she shook her friend out of her day dream.
"What," she jumped as she came back to reality.
"Class is over come on lets go."
"Oh sorry." Manny said kind of embarrassed, she couldn't believe that day was still haunting her thoughts.
A/n This story didn't get a very strong reaction when I first posted it so I went back and changed a few of the things I thought should be fixed, it was technically my first Degrassi fic but I am having so much fun writing Functional Dysfunction right now, so I will update this story when I can if people give me some feedback on it. The concept seemed so great back in November lol, now I'm not so sure.
