Recap: Manny and Craig got back together and had a pregnancy scare. Manny's POV.
(Craig's POV)
So much has happened in the past two months it's almost confusing. After breaking up with both her and Ashley, Manny and I got back together. She showed up at my house one night, out of the blue. We started kissing, which lead to making out, which, since Joey and Angie weren't home, lead to my bedroom, where we, uh- had sex. It was amazing. I knew that night that I loved Manny. Wow! I just said that I loved her... I've never loved anyone other then family... but I do love Manny. Okay, now fast forwawrd to the present time.
Last night Manny called me, she told me she thought that she might be pregnant. I was shocked. I knew that we hadn't been safe at all, which was a BIG mistake, we didn't use a condom and she didn't use any birth control. As shocked as I was I told her to come over today, after school and she could do a pregnancy test. Now, here I am, sitting against the wall, across from the bathroom, while she's in there doing the test. I had my head on my knees. I finally heard the door unclick and I looked up. "Well?" I asked. "We have to wait fifteen minutes," she informed me. I went and set the timer on the fridge. We waited impatiently for the little ding. Finally, we heard it. We walked into the bathroom and hovered over the test. I looked down. It revealed that she wasn't pregnant. I heard the "Hallelujiah" chorus singing in my head. She looked up at me and I looked at her. There was a tear rolling down her cheek. I took her face into my hands and wiped it away. We walked out of the bathroom and she jumped into my arms. She started kissing me. I kissed her back. We just stood there for awhile, Manny in my arms, with her legs wrapped around my waist, kissing. After awhile she jumped down and we walked into the living room. I flicked on the TV and we sat down. Soon we started kissing. At 6:00 Manny announced that she should leave. I walked her to the front door and kissed her one last time, then she was gone.
I still had and hour before Ang and Joey were home so I went back into the living room and flipped through the channels. There was nothing on, so I gave up on the idea of TV. I went upstairs to my room and turned on the stereo. I laid down on my bed and must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember was Joey yelling up the stairs that he was home. I pulled myself up and went downstairs. "Where's Ang?" I questioned. "She stayed with my sister," he answered. I muttered, "Oh." and walked into the kitchen.
As I was digging through the fridge I heard the bathroom door close. Then I heard Joey yell, "CRAIG!" I automatically knew why he was yelling, both Manny and I, in our state of happiness had forgotten to throw the pregnancy test away. Joey stomped into the kitchen, test in hand. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" he screamed. I looked down at the floor. "It was a- a friend. She was worried. I had to help her." I lied. "DON'T LIE TO ME, CRAIG." Joey yelled. "Okay, it was Manny's. Sh- she wasn't sure. W- we needed to check." I told him, this time telling the truth. He looked at me. "You guys- you uh...?" he stammered. "Yes." I replied, knowing what he was asking. That night Joey and I had a long talk... okay, lecture, more, about sex and the consequences. It was pretty embarassing that my step father knew that my girlfriend and I had had sex.
The next day I called Manny. "Hello?" she answered. "Hey." I replied. "Hi. What's up?" she asked. "He found it." I informed her. "Wait, who found what?" she questioned. "Joey, he found the test." I said. "Oh, shit." she whispered. "Look it's okay. He just yelled at me for awhile, then he lectured me, it's okay." I tried to assure her. "But, Craig, what if he tells some one?" she asked, worriedly. " I asked him not to, he said he wouldn't." I assured her. "I'm just worried." she said. "I know, so am I." I told her. "Nobody else knows, do they?" she asked. "Only Joey, you, and me." I assured her. "And Emma." she informed me. "You yold her?" I asked, embarassed. "Well, she called and asked why I was in such a bad mood, I just had to tell her." she whined. "That's fine, but just, whatever you do, don't let Spinner or Paige find out... Paige likes to gossip and Spinner just can't keep his mouth shut." I laughed. She did too. "AND, not a word to Ashley about it either... God knows she won't keep it a secret." I didn't say anything. I hadn't thought about Ashley, I knew there was no way she'd keep it a secret if she found out. We got off the phone and I started to get ready for school. Once I was done I headed out the door and to Degrassi Community School.
Once there I went and found my friends. Spinner was standing with his arm around Paige's waist and Jimmy was there with Hazel, where Marco was, I didn't know. I walked over to them. "What's up?" I greeted them, as always. "I was going to ask you the same thing." Spinner said. "What's wrong?" I asked. "We know that you weren't going to visit the hospital last night." Jimmy said. That had been my lie. I told them we couldn't do band practice because I had to visit a relative of Joey's in the hospital. "What do you mean?" I asked. "We mean, Jimmy and I saw Manny go into your house last night." Spinner informed me. I sighed. I didn't want to tell them, especially with Paige and Hazel there. "Look, I know that I lied to you, but I swear I have a good reason," I said. "Enlighten us." Jimmy almost demanded. "I- I- I can't." I told them. "And why not?" Spinner asked. "It's just it something Manny and I would like to keep to ourselves." Spinner wiggled his eyebrows. "I get it, dude." he said. "No, Spinner, not that." I said. "Then what is it, man?" Jimmy asked. Manny walked up right then. "What is what?" she asked. "We're just wondering why our man, Craig here cancelled band practice last night." Spinner told her. She looked a little worried. "Dude, is it that serious?" Jimmy asked. Manny looked at me. "Tell them, if you must, Craig, (she turned to the rest of them) BUT, if any of you tell anyone else, I'll kill you, got it?" she questioned. They all nodded. "Okay, Manny thought she might be pregnant, so we needed to check. Okay? Is that a good enough reason to cancel band practice?" Craig asked. They all nodded.
