A/N: I noticed after writing this chapter, I had Emma at the hospital. Just pretend I never said that and that It's really Toby who said he would call Caitlin and Joey.
lanakael: I got your review after I already uploaded this chapter and chapter 8, so starting with chapter 9 I will work on making my chapters longer.
Does anyone have a problem with me not double spacing? I have a problem with me double spacing, but if my readers would rather me do that then I will oblige.
Chapt. 7 Pt. 1
"He proposed to you." Manny said to Emma back at Degrassi. Manny, Sean, Emma, and Liberty stayed behind while the rest of them went to the hospital.
"Yeah..." Emma said slowly. The four of them were stuck cleaning up the gym. She walked around with a garbage bag cleaning up the junk off the tables.
"Emma, you love JT, I know it." Liberty ran around sweeping the floor.
"Yeah..." she said slowly again. Sean looked at her. She was his first real love.
"Emma." He whispered motioning for her to follow him. He took her to a secluded place. "Emma, I know you. Or at least I did once."
"Sean..."
"Emma, I know what was in your heart and I'm hoping to know again."
"Sean, I'm with JT and you're with Ellie."
"Emma, I'm not trying to get you with me. You're not in love with me. Have you made a decision on JT's proposal?" Emma looked at Sean.
"I don't know. JT's a great guy. You wouldn't believe how romantic he is."
"And you love him?"
"Yes, I love him. He loves me."
"So, it's settled. Let's get back before they think..."
"No. It's not as simple as that." Emma pushed Sean back down.
"Emma Nelson, you always liked to make things complicated."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Emma shook her head. "I love JT, but I'm too busy with work."
"You still running your environmental crusades?"
"Kind of." Emma looked down at the ground and then back at Sean. "I always spend too much time working, what would I do to him when we get married?" Sean smiled.
"Emma, you've already made your decision."
She thought about it for a minute. "Yes, I have."
An hour had passed and Marco and Dylan were still chatting with Lydia, the 16 year old. She had two contractions during that time, but was still allowed to sit out in the hallway.
"...So I wanted to keep the baby, but my parents won't let me. They're going to kick me out if I come from the hospital with it. I stopped trying to convince them today, so I went by the agency and signed the papers. You two will be able to give it a better life than I could ever dream of." Tears crept down her face.
"I'll be right back. Our friends are probably wondering where we are." Marco stood up.
"I'm still getting my soda." Dylan held his empty can in the air. Marco walked back into the waiting room. Toby sat there with hid dad. He assumed Ashley's mom was with Ashley. Jimmy and Hazel were sprawled over a bunch of chairs watching the TV. Jimmy's head rested on Hazel's chest, as she ran her fingers through his short hair. Paige and Spinner sat in a corner and were just talking. He smiled seeing those two together. He always thought Spinner and Paige looked good together, despite how they broke up. Very surprisingly, he saw Ellie and JT talking to each other. Not noticing until now, he realized Sean wasn't there. When Ellie noticed Marco she broke away.
"Hey, where've you been?" Marco sat down away from JT. Ellie followed.
"Ellie, for about a year, Dyl and I have decided we want kids. You didn'tknow that." He watched Ellie shake her head and smiled. "We so want to start a family. About two months ago, we got approved for this sixteen year old girl, but it took her until today to sign--to make it official and to top if off, she is here tonight, in labor."
Ellie sat there for a second absorbing all the information.
"Congratulations, Papa Del Rossi." Ellie gave Marco a hug. "You are going to make a great father."
