Craig and Joey headed into the building early the next morning, to find Snake, Iris and a woman already there. Iris smiled at Craig and Joey before introducing the woman as her advisor, Dr. Edmonds. The five of them headed into Raddich's office, where Iris was the first to speak.
"I understand, Mr. Raddich, Dr. Edmonds, if you wish to fire me or move my placement, but I met Craig over the break, and not knowing his true age, engaged in relations with him. Now I am going to have his baby in eight months."
Raddich and Dr. Edmonds were agog, but Dr. Edmonds recovered first. "Mr. Simpson, does Iris show Craig any favortism? Or has she not done a good job?"
Snake replied, "No, in fact, until Iris told me last night, I had no idea about her and Craig."
Joey spoke up. "Iris is going to be living with my son and I until the baby is born. I don't know if this will have any effect on your decision, but I just wanted you to be aware of this fact."
Dr Edmonds nodded. "Iris. You have a 4.0, in difficult classes. You have glowing recomendations. I don't want this to ruin your career. However, if I find any favortism, I will yank your endorsement so fast its not even funny. You are not to grade Craig's papers. At all. OTher wise, I have no problems keeping you at Degrassi if Mr. Raddich aproves."
"I don't want a scandal. If this is kept quiet, I have no problems either." Raddich nodded his agreement.
Iris felt a giant weight off of her shoulders. She smiled at Craig as they all got ready to leave the office. "I'm seeing the doctor after school, to make sure i'm really pregnant. Will you come with?"
"OF course...I'll meet up with you after school"
Joey offered to have Iris over for dinner and they all headed to class, with one stop for Iris-the woman's room. She had morning sickness, and occational afternoon sickness. THne she headed back to work.
THat afternoon, Iris announced that there would be no afterschool lab time. Ellie Nash was planning on staying late, but headed over to her friend Ashley's locker.
"No working in the lab?"
"Miss Masters closed it for the afternoon."
"Have you seen Craig?" Ashley wanted to talk to her exboyfriend, try to get him to forgive her for the past and possibly start over.
"Last I saw him he was cleaning up in the lab, lets walk that way, we'll pass his locker."
Craig wasn't at his locker, but they saw him leaving the lab. Ashley went to say hello when they realized he wasn't alone-Miss Masters was with him. And they seemed to be talking about something. Ashley and Ellie decided, without saying a word, that they were going to spy.
"Aare you ready?" Craig was saying."Cause I'm ready, I just had to stop at my locker, but I got everything. I think."
"Yep, I have everything. Did you drive?"
"Nope, we'll have to take your car. Joey drove me in for the meeting. Which, I Might add went well." The two of them started down the hall
Ashley whispered to Ellie "What meeting? And why are they going somewhere together-she's a teacher?"
THey followed the two of them out into the parking lot, where they got into Iris's car, and hopped into Ellie's car to follow them.
Iris was nervous, and Craig knew it. "Its going to be ok, Baby. I promice."
They arived at the office, not knowing they were being followed, and Entered.
Ashley and Ellie tried to figure out which doctor they were seeing, because there were many doctors in the building, but weren't quite sure.
Ellie said "Do we wait?"
"of course, i want to know what she's doing with Craig." Ashley nodded and they settled in to wait.
Iris went inside Dr. Rolen's office, and waited with Craig as her blood was processed.
Dr. Rolen came back into the room and said "Congradulations, Miss Masters, you're going to have a baby in eight months."
Iris smiled, made and apointment to come in in two weeks, and decided that she needed to go to the bookstore.
This is what they were discussing as they exited the office, not knowing Ashley and Ellie could hear them.
"The bookstore."
"Research."
"Research. YOu are strange. But we have time before we have to be home for dinner, so lets go."
"I just want to know what I've gotten myself into, Craig. Thats all."
Ashley and Ellie followed them to the bookstore, and thats when they figured out what was going on. They saw Craig's curly head and followed it--to the pregnancy section.
"There are a lot of books." Craig was dumbfounded.
"yes, there are." Iris selected two-What To Expect When You're Expecting and Girlfriends Guide To Pregnancy "I've heard about these, which is as good of way as any to pick them."
Ashley and Ellie just stared at each other. This couldn't be what they thought it was.
"Then we can go home?" Craig smiled "I like saying that. Home."
"Its not my home yet, but it will be soon...Yeah, lets go."
Ashley couldn't believe it. Iris was pregnant...with Craig's baby? IT couldn't be, yet all the signs pointed to it.
