DISCLAIMER: I own nothing Degrassi...


Turns out, Emma's plan to keep her pregnancy a secret from Snake needed a bit more thinking out. The whole school knew about it now, and homeroom on Monday would be a bit tough. So, as tough as it was for her to tell him, Emma had to.

Sunday evening was when she did it. Her mom was out picking up Jack from a birthday party across town and Emma knew she'd have at least an hour and a half alone with Snake.

She tiptoed down stairs as she heard her mom's car pull out the driveway. She wore a huge college sweater, sweatpants and socks, but she still felt cold. "Snake?" She found him sat at the kitchen table in front of his laptop.

"Oh, hey Em." He greeted her kindly.

"Can I..." Emma's voice came out as barely more than a whisper. She coughed feebly and tried again. "Can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, what's up?" Snake asked, closing his laptop so his attention was fully focused.

Emma found a mark in the wood of the table and fixed her brown eyes upon it. She couldn't look Snake in the eye. "I can't tell mom. Not yet." She started.

"Emma? What's up?" Snake was concerned.

"You'll hear all about it in homeroom on Monday. But... I- it's... I don't know how to say this."

"Em, you're worrying me now, spit it out, please!" Snake demanded grabbing old of her hand supportively. "Whatever it is, we'll work it out."

Tears welled up in Emma's eyes. She took a very deep breath and slowly looked up at Snake. "I'm pregnant." She said in a tiny, tiny mouse-like voice.

"Woah!" Snake gasped and spoke in unison. He looked at her in disbelief and studied her shattered face carefully. "Are you sure?" He finally managed to utter.

"Yeah. We took a test."

"Who's we?" Snake asked immediately.

"Me and..." Emma was reluctant. "Jay."

"Jay being Jason Hogart?"

Emma nodded slowly. "Please don't be mad."

"I'm not mad, Em." Snake said slowly. "How your mom'll take it is another story."


When Spike got back in with Jack she was too busy telling Snake this long story about this thing that happened on the way back from getting Jack to really notice anything was up.

Emma was down in her room when she got home and except for coming down for about a minute to say goodnight, Emma was left alone all night.


Monday morning back at Degrassi was so not what Emma needed right now. People were gossiping about her as soon as she walked through the door. She'd received twelve messages over IM at the weekend calling her slut and ho. And now that he'd opened his big mouth and not known when to shut it, she didn't even have macho Jay to back her up.

It was tough enough being pregnant, let alone having to worry about what people thought about her or having to constantly listen out for her name cropping up in conversation.

During homeroom, Mr. Simpson took attendance as usual. When he got to Emma's name, it fell silent. As she quickly announced she was there, someone snickered and the rest of the room dissolved into laughter too.

"Silence!" Snake bellowed. The laughter died out almost immediately and he continued with attendance.

Any other time, any normal time, Emma would've been relieved to be rid of Jay at school. But now, she felt new feeling creeping up on her. Could it be she actually missed Jay and wanted him to be here with her? They'd only been close once. And even then it wasn't as if they were close. Sure they were close in that sense, but they didn't connect or anything like that.

She leaned against her locker, realizing she had no where to go. No-one was here for her. She stood for a while, before reality came knocking at her metaphorical door. It was lunch, Ms Sauve was waiting!

Emma walked back and forth in front of Sauve's door at least eight times each way before she plucked up the courage to open the door and let herself in. She held her head high and grabbed hold of the handle. She rattled it noisily, not realizing quite how nervous she was. She pushed the door and stepped under the threshold just to step right back out and slam the door in disgust.

She fell back against the wall and clenched her eyes shut.

"Emma?" Ms. Sauve's syrupy sweet voice bought her back into the room.

Emma slowly opened one eye and looked over at Ms. Sauve. Then she opened the second and turned and looked at her with an exasperated look.

Well theres another new chapter! I tried a cliff hanger ending I hope thats clear to you guys!
