Authors note: I'm back! School's out, so I need something to keep my amusement after my days spent at Postal Hell.
I was rereading Shameless and realized "Hey, this is probably one of the best stories I've done." This gave me a lot of ideas for this story. I'll also be working on a new story, and possibly updating my other unfinished works
Once again---MsZoid, does not own Degrassi. If She did she would not be making minimum wage.
STrange Fire, Chapter two.
"It's a monkey suit." Craig looked at Joey. "I hate having to wear this."
"You are best man, you'll have to deal with it. Now let the nice lady hem your pants." Craig rolled his eyes at Joey but did as he was told. Once the suit was hemmed, he got to sit down and let Joey and Snake take turns getting hemmed. This wedding thing was annoying, no matter how happy he was for them.
Craig sat at the window that over looked the street, watching cars and people. The city moved as he sat there, in his tux, thinking about what the fall would bring.
Then, he saw her. She was walking down the street, long legs in a denim skirt, shirt lipstick red. It was Coralie. He could tell without seeing her upclose-there was a way she moved, a way he'd never forget. He couldn't keep his eyes off of him as she moved closer and closer. She was even on the right side of the street.
As she got close to the window he was sitting in, she seemed to notice him. Her eyes grew wide for a fraction of a second, then she smiled. Broadly, and moved very close to the window, blowing him a kiss as she did so. Then she walked away.
Craig was left staring after her. Joey then came over and told him it was time to get dressed, so he did.
That night, Caitlin and Craig were making burritos. Craig was mostly chopping up the tomatos and shredding the lettuce, but he was helping. He was in the middle of an onion-that Caitlin for some reason wanted-when the doorbell rang. Craig expected Marco to be there, he was fighting with Dylan again. It wasn't Marco, it was Coralie.
She didn't look at him, rather she looked through him. "Is Caitlin around?"
"In the kitchen." He lead her back there. "Caitlin? You have company."
Caitlin looked over at Coralie and smiled. "Cora! You made it, come have a seat." Coralie complied. "How are you?"
"Still managing. Its nice to be back in Toronto, though." She smiled at Craig. He smiled back, involuntarily.
"Where are you staying?" Caitlin didn't miss a beat as she rolled up the burritos to be put in the oven. "YOu're staying for supper aren't you?"
"I can stay...I'm staying in a hotel-the Hilton over by the overpass"
"You can't stay there! You'll stay here. In Angie's room. She can sleep on the floor. Let me ask Joey."
"Ask Joey what?" He said, walking into the room. He stopped when he saw Coralie sitting at the table, near Craig. "Hello Coralie."
"Coralie is staying here for a while. She can't just stay in a hotel room! She can sleep in Angie's room with Angie on the floor." Craig noticed how the closer it got to the wedding the less relaxed Caitlin's speaking style had gotten.
Joey must have noticed too. "I suppose...she should go get her things from the hotel."
"Craig,go with Coralie." Caitlin ordered this, and Joey said nothing, despite the way his hands were gripping the kitchen counter. Craig just nodded and they headed into the car Coralie had driven to the house.
They said nothing most of the way there, but finally Craig spoke. "Ellie said you wanted to talk to me."
"I did..." SHe sighed. "Its...complicated."
"What is?"
"What I want from you."
"And that is?"
"It can wait until we get to the hotel."
THey went to the hotel and Coralie began packing up her things. She didn't look him in the face as she made her request. "I want you to father my child."
Craig blinked. "What?"
"I want a baby. I'm 26 years old, I'm ready. I just don't want a man. I want you to father it."
"Um...can I think about it."
"Think all you want, Kid. You know where I'm staying." With that she snapped the suitcase closed.
