I don't own Degrassi. I own me.
Chapter 10. Secrets out.
The next day at school, Mr. Simpson's seventh period web design class were broken up into groups to work on the project. Iris had drawn the partners out of a hat.
"Ellie and Paige...Marco and Craig...Spinner and Jimmy..." SO on and so forth. Those three teams were the only three however who wanted to stay late and work. Iris had a funny feeling this was a bad idea, but she was a teacher and stayed late with the students. And one extra. Ellie had asked if a friend could sit into the room as they worked, and Iris said yes. THe friend was Ashley Kerwin, aka, Craigs ex-girlfriend-another moment of awkwardness for Iris.
As the students worked and chatted, IRis settled in with her copy of "What to expect when you're expecting." Hopeing no one would notice what she was reading.
Then, Iris felt her stomach rise up into her throat. "I'll be right back, be good." she said, running out of the room.
Spinner took the moment to head over to the desk and see what Iris was reading and working on. "Its a book"
Marco rolled his eyes. "NO shit"
Spinner stopped then. "Oh my god. its not just any book. Miss Masters is reading....What to expect when you're expecting."
Jimmy paused "She's *pregnant*"
"Yes, I am." IRis paused in the doorway. Gavin, get back to your seat. Now."
Spinner did as he was told. "congradulations, Miss Masters...I'm just suprised that you're still here...I mean...Crap."
Iris then realized what Spinner was saying. She didn't know how he knew, but she wasn't going to get too upset. "Yes, Spinner, i'm here all semester. I'm only a month along." She smiled at him, trying to pretend she didn't realize what he was talking about.
"How do you feel?" Paige was generally curious about what it was like to be pregnant.
"Pretty good. I'm happy, and that helps." Iris was glowing, Paige noticed. She seemed so happy.
"Well, I guess i just want to say congrats to you guys...er..never mind." Marco also slipped up.
"Wait, you guys?" Paige was confused.
Ashley smirked. "All i wnat to know is if Raddich knows."
"Wait, you know?" Marco said to her.
Ellie nodded "We saw you at the bookstore last night Miss Masters. You weren't alone."
IRis put her head on her desk. This wasn't good. She could see Craig turning white as a sheet in the corner of the room.
Paige was lost "Wait, whats going on here."
Ashley, "Whats going on here is that a teacher is screwing a student." she spat the words. "Seducing him. Getting pregnant. I hope you get fired for what you did to him."
Iris was nearly in tears. "It wasn't like that, you have no idea." Craig said as he walked over to the desk. "Ashley, just shut up, you're upsetting Iris."
NOw Paige and Jimmy were really confused. Craig was standing next to Miss Masters as she cried, Ashley had a cruel expression on her face, and Spinner and Marco were quiet.
Paige got up and shut the door. then she looked at the people. "What is going on here."
Ashley spoke first "Miss Masters is pregnant and Craig is the father."
Jimmy blinked "Wait, repeat that."
Craig smiled "I'm going to be a father." he looked down at Iris and smiled at her. She smiled back."And Ashley, Raddich already knows."
"He does? why is *she* still here?"
Iris finally sat up. She'd had it up to here with the girl. "I'm here all semester. I'm not allowed to grade Craig's papers, or to grade papers for his classes when we're at home. But i'm not leaving. I"m going to be here all semester" She repeaded."So you have to deal with it, I suppose."
Paige looked at the pair "What do you mean, home? Do you live together?"
"she's moving in with Joey, Angela and I this weekend." Craig reached for IRis's hand. "And i don't wnat to talk about his anymore, can we get working?"
The pairs began to work on the project, but everyone was trying to figure out about Craig and Miss Masters. Iris watched them, mostly Craig.
"Are you guys getting close to finishing up? Its nearly five and I don't want us locked into the building without food."
Everyone laughed and got ready to leave, Craig walking out with Spinner and Marco and JImmy as Iris locked up.
"How come you didn't tell us?" Spinner said.
"I didn't want to get Iris into trouble, I guess. SHe won't be showing for a while now, figured we'd keep it a secret for now."
"Are you happy," Jimmy wanted to know.
"Yes, I love her. I can't wait for her to have a baby." Craig smiled at his friends, knowing everything was going to be ok.
