She could not believe what she had just saw. That dream was so real. Almost as if something really bad would happen if she did not do what the dream had said. He looked so happy with the little girl, and she knew that she would make sure that that man would raise her baby.
She tried to forget the dream for the time being. In the meantime she got dreamed, and was wondering whether or not Craig had told anyone about the pregnancy, and what she would do if he told the whole school. They were going to say that the baby was J.T.'s now, but she was just thinking...what if Craig told everyone that it was his. Would they be able to convince him that J.T. had tried to get Craig to think that the baby was his? Would Emma agree with the situation? She was soon to find out.
At the same time J.T. was thinking about how his luck was going. All in all he thought that it was a good day. True, he had lied to his parents, and told everyone that he was about to become a father when they both knew he was as far as ever from that happening. But to even things out he had Manny. All to himself. Deep down he knew that eventually their gig would be up, but until then he could pretend that he was about to become a father. Sure he knew that Craig was the father, and that sooner or later he was going to want to claim his child, and he would have to give up the unborn child that he had already started to love as his own.
After thinking about all of the possible outcomes where he put Manny, Craig, and most importantly the baby's needs before his own. All he wanted overall was what was best for the baby, and if what was best for the baby was Craig then he was willing to accept that. He finished getting ready, and rushed into the kitchen to start eating breakfast.
When he got there Manny was already there eating. She looked so beautiful, and that was all J.T. could think about. She was wearing real clothes for the first time in over half a year. She was wearing a pair of pink Capri's that weren't so skin tight, and a pink shirt with a plaid pink blouse over the top of it. She didn't have on too much make up, but she was wearing just enough so that she looked beautiful. It proved that she didn't have to show all of her skin to be beautiful. J.T. stood there looking at her for a while; until she noticed that he was standing there.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Manny in shock.
"Nothing...it's just...nevermind. Forget you ever saw that."
"Ok...I guess. So today's the big day. I'm so nervous."
"Don't be. It'll be ok. Just tell Emma the truth. She'll understand."
"I wasn't really talking about that...I was talking about Craig. I can't let you put your life on hold to help me. I won' let you."
"Ok...but if you need me to. Talk to Craig, and let me know. I will always be willing to do this for you, and I'm not putting my life on hold. You are my life from now on. Got it?"
"Whoa...I want you to be the father...I really do, but I have to give Craig a chance to be the father of his child, but I want you to be the one that helps to raise my baby. More than anything else in the world, but I have to be fair to Craig."
"Ok, I guess I have to give you that much, but you need to know that if you ever need me that I'll be there for you like that..." he made a quick snap with his fingers..."you got it?"
"Yeah...we better go before we're late."
"Can't be late for homeroom now can we?"
"No we can't...Hey, J.T....Thanks."
"No problem. Today's gonna be another long day, but don't let it get to you."
"I'll try."
With that they left, and started to ponder the new changes that they were going to encounter today, and hoping that they would be for the better. Then they walked up to the steps of Degrassi.
As they were entering the building J.T. grabbed Manny's hand. To his surprised she did not pull it away. Well, at least she didn't pull it away until she saw Craig walking down the hall straight toward her.
"Manny, I need to talk to you…Alone."
Hey everybody. I hope you're liking it so far. I'm gonna have them fighting over her in the end. I know who's going to win, but I want to keep all of you in suspense. I think it'll make most of you happy. Hopefully. After this day is over I think I'm going to skip it about two and a half weeks so that we can have the rape trial. Review me, and let me know what you think about my plan.
