Note: Okay after this fanfic being up for a year it is time to just get it over with so here it is.

Chapter 17

Flash Forward: 5 months

Manny made it through her pregnancy with support from both Craig and Emma. She had a baby boy named Samuel J. Manning who ended up pulling through in good health. They have a room for the baby at Joey's house and Manny stays in there with him. She didn't get to go to school for the last couple months of her pregnancy and plans on trying for her GED after atleast a year of raising her baby.

Craig is working two jobs, one at a store and another one whenever Joey needs help at the lot. Joey plans on giving Craig the lot when he is older. When he isn't working, Craig spends as much time with Manny and Sam as possible. Emma visits and helps Manny when she is not at school. Sometimes Emma brings her brother Jack along to watch while visiting Manny.

Manny's parents still won't let her come back into their house but they did visit the hospital and give the occasional call. Most of the people at Degrassi still look upon Manny in disgust but she got through the months there that she could and doesn't pay any attention when anyone is rude in public. None of them know how much work she has to go through to try raising the baby. Her mistake turned into a bigger respoinsibility then they will ever know as teenagers. It will be rewarding also in a way...

She is greatful that Joey let her have a room at his house. I suppose it was because Craig was his step son and it felt like the right thing to do. Angela also visits Sam once in a while and is anxious for Sam to grow up so she has someone to play with. She considers him more like a brother then a newphew. They think that Jack and Samuel will end up being good freinds even though Jack is almost a whole year older.

Overall things seem to be going as well as they could for a young teenage father and mother. Although Manny could use more sleep and Craig needs a break from his jobs more often. They can't expect any less from having a baby boy to take care of.

Note: Wasn't that a nice and informed ending to this story? It should have ended when it felt like an ending at chapter 5 and turned into a sequel but it didn't so 17 chapters in the end isn't so bad. Please Review and tell me what you thought overall about this fanfiction. Advice on ways to improve in the future are welcome.
