Chapter 38

A couple months after Emma's visit at the surf shop Sean was getting ready to go back to school. He gone to summer school whle he was working and had done well enough to get back the year he had lost. In a couple weeks he would be starting his senior year at Wasaga High.

After his little break down his mom had helped him come to see why Emma had chosen to do what she did. He still was against it but there was nothing he could do.

Not too long after Emma and her family visited Jay came up. He had stayed in Wasaga for about a month. After some major hostility Sean had forgiven him and Jay had told him everything that had been going on since he had left.

He had learned that it was Alex that had filmed that video and showed it that day. He also learned that Manny had left him and he had gotten expelled from Degrassi.

"So ready to go back to school?" Tyler asked him bringing him out of his thoughts. It had been a slow day today since most of the tourists had headed home already.

Sean laughed. "Of course not." he said and Tyler joined him in laugher for a moment.

"So are you going back to Toronto?" he asked.

Sean went to rearrange the body boards. "Why would I go back there?" he asked Tyler.

Tyler shrugged. "Isn't your girlfriend due soon? I thought you'd go back to see your kids."

Sean shook his head. "Why would I do that? She's giving them up."

"I just thought you'd go se them before she did. I know if they were my kids I'd want to see them before someone took them away." he said leaving Sean to his thoughts to go check in the jet ski someone had just returned.

"Hey Greenpiece!" Jay called to her when he saw her walk past him in the mall. She stopped and turned to him. "Whoa you look like you're ready to pop."

Emma glared at him. "Thank you Jay. As if I didn't already know that." she rolled her eyes and started to walk off.

"So shouldn't you be at home?" he asked falling in step with her.

"Not when I have to get stuff for school. Besides why do you care?" she asked him.

"Because you're carrying my best friend's kids and he'd kill me if I let anything happen to either of you."

Emma turned to glare at him. "Your best friend didn't seem to care about my babies the last time I saw him. Leave me alone."

"I can't do that. Besides you know he cares about you. He's just a little pissed off. He'll get over it and come crawling back to you in no time." Jay told her.

"He's been gone for three months, Jay. School's starting soon. He's not coming home." she said tears filling her eyes. She felt pain in the stomach and almost doubled over.

"Greenpiece what's going on?" Jay asked slightly panicking.

Emma groaned and held her stomach. "Jay call 911 something's wrong." She yelled in pain as he dug out his cell phone. Jay gave the operator the directions and bent down to her level.

"It's all right. They're on their way." Jay told her. "Do you want me to call your mom?" Emma nodded and he stood up to make another phone call. As he hung up he saw her pass out.

"Emma? Emma! Wake up!"

When Sean got home his mom was sitting dinner down on the table. Since he had come home his parents had been amazing and had cleaned their act up.

"Hey Sean. How was work?" she asked him giving him a hug. He was still getting used to this new attitude she had with him.

"Work was work. Everyone's gone home for the summer." he said sitting down.

His dad came out of the garage with the phone in his hand. "There's someone on the phone for you, boy." Sean nodded and took the phone into his room.

When he walked back into the room the two of them looked over to find him as white as a ghost. "Sean, honey, what's wrong?" his mom asked him.

"Emma. She's in the hospital. I need to go back. I need to go now." Sean said and grabbed his keys and jacket.

"Sean wait!" his dad yelled causing him to stop. "I'll drive you don't need to right now." Sean nodded and soon they were on the road.
