Hey, sorry I haven't updated in like forever, but I've been busy, and I've had a bit of a writers block. I promise whoever's still reading this, but this is going to be the best chapter yet, so it's worth the wait.!

He knew that he had to go, and tell her about it eventually, but he didn't want to. He knew that she would rather have Craig as the father than the dorky best friend, but he had to at least let her know that he would raise the baby with her if she wanted him to. When he arrived she was anxiously waiting to hear how it had went.

"Did you do it?" she asked. He didn't want to tell her the bad news, but he had to.

"Yeah, I did. He said that....you should have been the one to tell him, and that he wasn't going to step up just because I told him to."

"Oh My God. I can't believe it. There is no way that I can do this by myself.....No way at all. At all." she said completely crushed.

Through tears she managed to say. " I thought he would be there. I really did. I mean I know that I'm the reason that Ashley hates him, but I thought that he would want to help raise his child."

"Look, Manny. I know that you probably don't want to hear this, but I will be there for you to raise this baby. I won't let Craig take you down for this."

"J.T. I know that I asked you to be here for me, and all, but I would really be taking advantage of you if I asked you to do that."

"Good, because you're not asking me to. I don't care if people think that I'm some freak for helping you. Heck I would even claim to be the father if it would help you.!"

"You would do that for me?"

"Of course I would"

"I don't want to take advantage of your hospitality, but now that you've offered to do it. Will you...just to my parents. I mean you don't have to be there all the time. Just tell them, so that they will think that the father wants to be involved"

"Of course I will. Without a doubt"

"Thank you so much...When should we tell them about are 'expected child'?"

"Ummm...whenever you want to"

"Well, now works for me. I want to get it over with."

"Let's go."

Well, they're not exactly home right now. I forget. I'm so upset that I'm loosing my mind. Can we talk about what I'm gonna do? I mean you don't have to give any advice or anything. I just really need to vent for a while."

"I don't really know how much help I'll do, but I won't let you vent on endlessly like an idiot. I'll at least talk back. We can decide what to do, because I'll tell them anything that you want. I'll say that I'm the father if you want, until Craig comes to his senses."

"If he does."

"He will...He won't be able to stay away."

"Do you mean that?"

"Are you serious? Any guy that doesn't love you had some serious issues. Honestly. I mean almost any gut that I know would do anything that you asked him to-"

"Yeah, and that's all because I'm a slut, and they think that they can get some if they help me. All they want to help me for is because of the way that I look anyway. You know what I'm not going to do anything like that again. I'm cleaning out my closet. Literally. I'm getting rid of all of my slutty clothes, and I'm using all of my old clothes again. Let's see if they all like me now."

"They will, and even if they don't you'll know that I'll always be there for you Manny."

The next few moments went by in a blur, but the next thing J.T. knew Manny was leaning in to kiss him.

"Are you sure you want to do this Manny?" asked J.T. nervously.

"Yeah"

Then she leaned in and kissed him. A feeling of wonder flashed through his body. He could see why Craig could cheat on Ashley for Manny. When she was kissing him he felt whole, like all that he would ever need was Manny, and he could make it through anything at all. She made him so whole, and complete. Then she pulled away.

"Manny, that was amazing. You are amazing, and if Craig can't see it, then he doesn't deserve you."

"J.T. I'm the one that doesn't deserve anything. I could have had you anytime that I wanted, and I went for Craig. I felt something when I kissed you. It was amazing. I've never felt it before. I thought that kissing him was good, but this is like it's destiny. I mean-"

"I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same exact thing."

"I'm so sorry J.T. I should have gone to you earlier. You are the one for me, and that's the truth, whether you like it or not."

"Are you kidding. To hear those words come out of your mouth is like heaven to my ears. I mean it Manny. I'm so lucky to have you. Now that I do I have to tell you I love you Manny."

There that was off of his chest. What is she going to say to me? Does she love me too? Am I just going to be around until Craig comes back? Oh I love her so much. Who am I kidding I've always loved her. Paige was just there to make me forget about her. All of those thoughts were going through his head, when he was snapped back into reality, by what Manny had to say.

"I love you too, but let's take it slow all right?

"Whatever you want. Not to bring back the bad news, but we've talked about how we're going to tell you parents, but what are we going to do about school?"

Well, there you have it. I hope you liked it. I'm gonna update soon, so don't worry. I hope you liked it. If you're now a fan of J.T., and Manny then I suggest that you don't read on. Just a bit of advice
