As promised, another chapter! I just can't stop writing once I stop, haha! Oh an d also, I haven't done this in a while so

Last Time: "I'll try, I really will. I'm so mad at you for cheating on him, but I'll really try to forgive you. No matter what I do about me being pregnant, I'm going to need you through it, and I can't do that if we're avoiding each other like the plague. I...I love you Mom, I really do." By now we were both crying slightly. After I said that I pulled her into a hug, and I could honestly say it was relieving. She was my mom after all, and I was going to need her through this. We were finally mending. It was slow, but it was a start.

Ellie's Pov:

Today was the day. Today was the day I had to walk into school, go up to the boy I was crushing on, remind him of the amazing night of sex we enjoyed together….and then throw in how he knocked me up on said night. Easy, right? If only, if only it would be that easy. Sadly, nothing goes right and nothing is ever easy in the world of Ellie Nash.

I woke up to my blaring alarm. Groaning, I rolled over and stumbled out of bed. I choked as I felt the last things I had eaten in the past 12 hours come up. I rushed to the bathroom to empty my throat. Never in my life had I wished more that I was simply sick. I walked into my room, putting on some dark ripped skinny jeans and a Panic! At the Disco band shirt. I noticed I hadn't yet gotten a baby bump. I didn't really know when someone was supposed to get one. I brushed my hair, deciding to keep it down in loose curls and headed to the car so my mom could drive me to school. Apparently pregnant women didn't need to be on their feet, so she'd be my personal escort for a while. We pulled up in front of Degrassi.

"I can't do this Mom, I just can't. I can't tell him." She put a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes you can, you have to. Trust me Eleanor, it'll be ok. Whatever happens, it'll be ok." I didn't really believe her words, but what choice did I have? I nodded and stepped out of the car, taking tiny steps to the front doors.

"Ellie hi." Marco noticed me as soon as I got through the doors. I smiled, grateful to see him, as always.

"Hey Marco."

"So, how ya feeling this morning?"

"Shitty. I've already emptied my stomach and realized I can only wear this shirt a few more times before I get too big for it." He laughed, despite the meaning behind the comment.

"What's so funny?" My heart leaped in my chest hearing that voice. We both turned around.

"Craig, good morning." Marco greeted.

"Morning. Morning El, how are you? I noticed you weren't here yesterday."

"I gotta get to class, see you guys later." Marco hurried off. Craig looked back at me.

"I uh, I was at the hospital. I-I'm…." I wanted to tell him, but I just couldn't get the words out of my mouth. My heart started to race and my palms began to sweat.

"I'm still sick." I mentally slapped myself. Damn you Ellie!

"Oh, I'm sorry El. Hey I was thinking later you should come to my place to hang. I've decided to start Downtown Sasquatch back up and I need a drummer." He hinted. I rolled my eyes.

"Craig, I haven't drummed since I was like, ten. What makes you think I could now?"

"Well just stop by the garage and I'll help you warm up your skills."

"We'll see." I said. He smirked.

"What, being all suspenseful are we Nash?" He laughed. And despite him even knocking me up, I couldn't stop smiling at him.

"Whatever Mr. Manning."

"Craig, walk me to class?" I turned around to see the one and only, Man-handler Manny waiting, head cocked slightly to the side. If you didn't guess, the smile had long fled my face.

"Sure thing. Catch ya later El." He smiled at me once more before taking Manny's held out hand, reminding me once again that I was not the one he chose after all.

Craig's Pov:

Poor Ellie. I can't believe she's so sick she had to go to the hospital. I shook my head.

"Craig?"

"Huh?"

"Is everything ok?" Manny asked. I nodded.

"Oh yeah, everything's fine. It's just that Ellie's been sick since the dance last week and yesterday she had to go to the hospital for it. I just hope she's ok." Manny nodded but looked at me weird.

"Oh what?"

"Nothing." She said. I rolled my eyes. It was that 'nothing' that girls said that made it obvious it was something.

"Manny." I warned.

"It's just….you seem so concerned about Ellie." She said Ellie's name as if it left a bad taste in her mouth. What'd she have against Ellie?

"Manny, Ellie's one of my best friends, of course I'm worried about her."

"I just hope you're not too worried. Remember that you do have girlfriend here, and this time I'm not sharing you."

"Manny, Ellie's not my girlfriend she just…." Your best friend that you had great sex with? Your best friend who happened to be a sexy ass vixen that only you had the pleasure of experiencing? I shook those thoughts from my mind.

"….my best friend. That's all." Manny raised an eyebrow. I smirked that smirk I now drives all the girls crazy.

"Manny, really. You don't have to worry about anything." She finally gave in to my smirk and smiled.

"Ok. Thanks for walking me to class."

"No problem."

"I'll see you later."

"Ok." I kissed her and walked to start down the hall to class.

"Mmm Craig." She scrapped her nails across the top of my back. I kissed collar bone, a layer a sweat beginning to build on us.

"Ellie." I gasped as I felt her clench around me when I hit that spot. She whimpered, arching her back more.

I decided to stop by the bathroom first, having to take care of sudden business.

Ellie's Pov:

I knew coming here today was a bad idea. I struggled to concentrate in class. Seeing Craig around school is bringing back memories. Memories I've tried desperately to suppress for over a month. It's a hard thing to do when said thoughts are so lust filled.

I smiled as he pressed his lips to mine, the feeling so soft and supple.

"Damn El." He murmured trailing his lips down my collar bone to my exposed chest. He pampered kisses all over and I struggled to breath. He bit down and I jumped, squealing as my hips bucked up in response. He smirked that snide, arrogant smirk, proud he's learning more about my body.

"Ellie psstt Ellie." I looked over at Paige.

"You ok hun?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You're just squirming a lot. I heard you were sick in the hospital. Still recovering?" I nodded and she nodded back in an understanding way. I took a deep, letting my mind travel back again.

He gripped my hips harder, pushing in more. I wrapped my legs around his waist, feeling him go deeper.

"Craig." I moaned, arching my back.

"So sexy." He growled, running his right hand down my side.

"Ellie." I snapped out of my thoughts, looking up at the teacher.

"Yes?"

"Well?" She waited for an answer to a question she had apparently just asked me.

"I…um…it's-" The bell rang out and I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding in. I gathered my things and quickly walked to lunch. I tried to forget my now flustered body when I saw Marco at Craig's locker, so I started walking toward them.

Craig's Pov:

I sighed, walking to my locker. All day my head has been in the clouds but hopefully lunch with Manny will get my mind off from that one person.

"Craig." I turned my head and nodded to Marco who was walking up to me. I had only seen him that morning, so it was nice.

"What's up?" I asked him as I opened my locker. I felt a hard smack against the side of my head and I held it in pain.

"Ow, what the hell Marco! What was that for?"

"Sex, with Ellie Craig? Are you crazy?!" He whisper-yelled. I sighed, no forgetting about her now. I guess she finally spilled the beans. I thought she would have told him before this honestly.

"Well my name is 'Crazy Craig' isn't it?" I rolled my eyes, shuffling through my locker.

"I'm glad you think it's so funny." He snapped sarcastically. I huffed.

"Why did she tell you anyway, it doesn't really concern you." It was true. Although Marco is her best friend, that was something that was personal, something just between us. He didn't need to know everything about Ellie.

"Well since I was the one with her when she found out, I'd say it does." Found out? Did she not tell him? Maybe he meant he find out from a different source. No, Ellie wouldn't tell anyone else, and I know I haven't. What the hell is he talking about? I figured he meant the hospital. Why would she tell him there though?

"With her for what? When she went to the hospital?"

"Ah, so she did tell you. But yeah. Geez Craig, get you head on straight."

"Sorry, she just told me about it this morning."

"Oh... So how are you taking it?" He asked tentatively. Why was he being so weird?

"Ok, I guess. I mean, as long as she gets better, there's not much to worry about."

"Yeah well I guess you can say that nine months from now." Marco chuckled. I furrowed my eyebrows. Nine months? What is he talking about?

"What?"

"Uh yeah. That's kinda how long a girl is pregnant Craig." My mind went blank. I didn't just hear what I think I heard, right? No, no, that couldn't be it. I must have been mistaken, right?!

"Pregnant?" I heard my voice quiver nervously.

"Uh yeah...that's why she was at the hospital. She told you that...didn't she?"My heart pounded in my chest. Ellie...pregnant?!

Marco's Pov:

My eyes widened as I realized she hadn't told him yet. She only told him she went to the hospital...not why. Just then Ellie walked up to us.

"Hey guys, you ready for lunch?" She asked with a small smile on her face.

"Pregnant?" Craig repeated. Her smiled wiped clean from her face as shock and fear replaced it. I grimaced, things like this were never easy.

Uh-oh, Marco spilled the beans! Next chapter will be when Ellie and Craig sit down and have a talk. And also, sorry if I get some pregnancy facts messed, up. I've never had a kid so I don't really know too much about it.

Much Love,

Making it Shine
