A/N: Sorry these chaps took so long, but they're here now so voila!

I woke up this morning happier than usual. It was only 6:15, I had a good hour to get ready

before I had to get to school. I stretched, and smiled to myself, "You just had the most

wonderful night of your life, you gave your virginity to someone truly special," I smiled

once more, and happily jumped out of bed. Before I got back together with Sean, I would wake

up late, and sulk around. Now I was bouncy and full of spunk. As soon as I was done doing my

hair, and surprisingly my make-up, I skipped upstairs, and pecked my mom on the cheek. Snake

was gone again, he was never around anymore, and mom was depressed lately. "Woah,

someone sure is happy this morning," she said smiling, "I'm glad to see you're back up to

speed." "Well, I'm just more, energetic now that-" I started but was cut off. "Sean is back in

your life again?" my mom asked holding up the used condom, then dropping on the table. I was

turning red, and I was shocked. Her smile had immediately faded from her face, "Oh great, a

lecture!" She walked around, deciding what to say, I felt like I was being interrogated for a

mass murder. "Emma, I'm glad you practiced safe sex, but I wanted you to wait!" she cried,

"Honestly, what if the condom had broke, you would be where I was with you 15 years ago! I

just don't want you to make decisions you'll regret." I sat there, and I understood her, it was her

parenting duty, she had to look out for me, maybe now wasn't the right time to tell her I was on

the pill. I originally got on it to regulate my period so I wouldn't have so many, but now I guess it

was meant for sex. "Mom, I know, and I just wanted to tell you, that I'm on the pill, and I'm

fine!" She stared at me, "You're on the pill? Why?" she asked. "I originally got it to-to regulate

my period, but now I guess..." I stammered. "You guess what? Now you can have sex

whenever, wherever, with whoever?" she was almost yelling, but she didn't seem mad, just

disappointed, and that hurt so much worse. "Just go to school, I'll deal with you later." She

didn't even look at me, as I left. I grabbed my lunch and headed out the door.

I really couldn't think, Spike was still on my mind, what the hell?! I didn't love Spike; it was a

lust that needed to be fulfilled somehow. I was happy with Emma, but I felt like I needed Spike

somehow. I slipped on some new clothes, and picked up my beanie. I looked at it for awhile, I

never seemed to wear it anymore, it reminded me of what I used to be, a thug. I threw it in the

trash can on my way out. I reached Degrassi Community School, and saw Emma waiting for me

by the steps. She smiled like I had never seen her smile before when she saw me, I smiled back,

but then quickly remembered my hot dream with Spike, and my smile faded. "Is there something

wrong?" Emma said as soon as I reached her. "No, no, I'm just, just tired; I had a rough night

last night." She smiled and gave me a full blown kiss right in front of the school; Emma was

different now I could tell. Before she would have never done anything like that in front of

everybody. I guess us making love seemed to change everything. The day seemed normal, but

those thoughts of Spike kept inkling their way back into my brain. During lunch Emma and I sat

down together, I could feel Jay and Towerz's eyes on me, they felt betrayed I went back to the

supposed "tree hugger" of Degrassi. I couldn't care less, they didn't have the love and stability

we did. As we were walking home, Emma stopped in the park we were walking through, and

got serious, "Sean, can we sit and talk about something." I knew it, she was going to dump me,

filthy whore. I sat down on the park bench next to her, "If you think I want to break up, that's

not it at all, it's about my mom," Emma said. Spike, what about her? I felt very uneasy at that

moment. "What, what is it?" I said back to her. "My mom, found our used condom on the floor,

and she knows that we're having sex." Emma said uneasily, wringing her hands. I took one and

said, "That's it? Emma, she probably just wants us to be safe." Emma sighed happily, and we

started to make-out. I looked at my watch, it was getting late. We got up and started to walk

towards Emma's house. Spike opened the door, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mom, mom

what's wrong?" Emma said running up to her. "It's Snake, I think he's having an affair!" Spike

cried sobbing uncontrollably.
