AN-hey everybody sorry about the misspelling of pneumonia, like I said, a lot of these updates are written at 2 and 3 in the morning. As a matter of fact, I might have written the last one, with my eyes closed, but ill try to be more careful. Here is your next update:

Chapter 10: My Baby's Daddy.

Jimmy felt the emptiness in the bed when he rolled over. He let the light flood in to his eyes. He swiftly sat up, had last night been a dream? It didn't feel like one. He could still taste her lips on his own. He heard a crash and he hoped out of the bed and was in the kitchen quicker then he ever thought he could move. There stood Manny, with her back to him cleaning the kitchen.

"Are you nuts?" Jimmy walked over to her and took the garbage bag out of her hand

"No, but your disgusting" she held up the three day old plate of moldy pasta

Jimmy just laughed, "I'll have it taken care of"

"Oh you will?" she arched an eyebrow

"Yea, the maid should be here in a half an hour" he looked over at the clock on the oven.

"If you say so," she said as she went to hop up on the counter. But before she could make an attempt, Jimmy grasped her lightly by the waist and propped her up there.

"I can move on my own ya know" she poked

"Trust me I know," he said. Something possessed him to lean in and they shared a small kiss.

When they pulled away their noses were touching. Manny went to say something but the phone interrupted them.

"Hello?" Jimmy answered frustrated, but Manny was scared, it could have been anyone, including the hospital, with bad news.

"Dad?" Jimmy asked.

That was the first time he had heard form his father, since the emancipation. Manny didn't know what to think, they had chose not to talk about his parents, until it became a problem.

"This weekend?"

Ok it was defiantly a problem

"Nope, Sorry this weekend is not good. Um.im swamped, with tests, and homework, you know the deal." Jimmy laughed nervously and Manny covered her face. Jimmy placed a comforting hand on her thigh.

And at the same time, Jimmy's cell phone in the other room began to ring. Manny's eyes darted from the back of the apartment to Jimmy. He nodded for her to go answer it. So as he answered his dad's questions he helped her down from the counter, and watched her scurry out of the room.

When Manny entered the bedroom she found the phone, it was Spinner.

"Hello?" she asked quickly

"Manny?" he asked

"Yea, what's up?" she plopped on to the bed.

"It's Sofia"

"Well?" she begged

"No Dad, everything is fine" Jimmy answered for the 8th time.

"Are you sure you sound stressed" he heard his mothers voice come over the phone.

"Hi mom, nice to hear from you to" he remarked

"Do you want us to come home?" she asked swiftly

"No" he said all to quickly

"No?"

"No, I wouldn't want to like...mess up your schedule, will do something later on, like during the summer" he nodded even though they couldn't see him.

"Ok dad, I got to go, yea, of course, uh huh, talk to you later, bye" and he clicked the phone shut with a loud sigh.

Suddenly his mind snapped back to Manny. Who was now silent in the back of the house. He walked into his room and saw Manny sitting on the edge of the bed. Tears streaming down her face, and the phone in her hands, which were lying limply in her lap.

He quickly took the phone and put it to his ear, but the line was already dead. He kneeled in front of her.

"Was it Spinner?" he asked quietly and she nodded "What-"

Manny cut him off by swinging her arms around her neck and hugging him closely.

"It's going be ok! She can come home her fever broke. She's healthy," she sobbed." Jimmy relaxed and released the breath he had been holding. He hugged her back tightly

"Oh god, thank you god" he whispered against her hair. And she gave a slight chuckle through her tears.

"What are we waiting for get dressed, we have to go get her come on" she pulled him to his feet and then left the room so she to could get dressed.

They were ready in 15 minutes, which is a record for two teens, with one bathroom. They were in a cab and on their way to the hospital. The whole way with their hands linked.

They paid the cab driver and quickly made their way up to the nursery, where a now healthy Sofia was stationed.

"How may I help you?" The receptionist asked

"We are here for Sofia Brooks" Manny breathed

"Oh, right his way, the Dr. would like to speak to you" she led them to a private waiting room. Where they met Spinner and Paige.

Spinner and Jimmy did their handshake thing and Paige and Manny hugged tightly

"When did it happen?" she smiled

"Early this morning" the girls erupted into smiles and laughter as they hugged each other tight, but not without the occasional tear. Then the doctor entered.

Jimmy grasped his hand "Thank you so much!" he said exasperated

"Don't thank me, thank that little fighter," he pointed over his shoulder and they all laughed

"When can we take her home?" Manny said happily

"Right now" the doctor smiled, proud that he had saved another child. "We just have to give you a few antibiotics just to fight off anything that may still be lingering" he said as he handed Jimmy the papers.

"Ok, ill be right back with the papers to sign her out"

"Jimmy, how are we going get her home, we didn't bring anything" Manny panicked. Realization hit Jimmy to; they had been moving so fast they had forgotten to bring their stuff.

"Maybe they can help" Paige said softly as Manny's family walked into the waiting room. Jimmy protectively wrapped his arm around her.

"Hi" Manny whispered

All Manny's mother could do was cry and hold her arms open. Manny quickly rushed into them, while everyone smiled at the reunion.

"We cant do much, but a car sales man is good for something" Mr. Santos said in his thick accent. He dangled a pair of explorer keys in front of Jimmy, who looked to Manny for approval. She nodded.

He went to take the keys "You have a driving license right?" he jerked the keys back

"Of course" Jimmy smiled. Mr. Santos handed him the keys and pointed out the window. They all looked out to see the brand new 2005 black explorer.

"Thank you daddy so much" Manny jumped into his arms

"Your welcome baby, there is a car seat back their to, we figured it was the least we could do" he kissed the top of his youngest daughters forehead.

"Can I see my grandbaby?" her mother asked and Manny nodded. Manny smiled over her shoulder at Jimmy and led her family to the nursery, Leaving Jimmy Spinner and Paige alone.

All three collapsed back into seats.

"I told you there would be a happy ending" Paige smiled

"It's happier then you think" Jimmy nodded

"Holy craps are you guys together now?" Spinner asked excitedly

"I think, but we haven't really talked about it yet, but we've been like...Kissing and stuff" he said awkwardly

"Do you want me to ask her?" Paige offered

"No I have a plan, but you could you bring Manny and Sofia home I have to go and do something" he smiled

"Yea sure-"before spinner could say anything else Jimmy threw the keys his way and was out of the door.

Paige waved after him as she wrapped her arms around Spinner and walked out to be with everyone else.

"She's so beautiful" Manny's sister balled

"Hey what's her name?" her brother asked

"Sofia Carmen Brooks" Manny said proudly

"Brooks? Eh is that the boy you stay with?" her grandmother asked through her broken English

"Yeah" Manny nodded

"I don't know if I like that," her father answered

"Dad don't start," she threatened and he quitted.

"Ok, Mrs. Brooks" she got a look from her dad but redirect her attention to the nurse. "Dr smith is with a patient, but if you'll sign these, your good to go and will see you on your two week check up" the nurse smiled

"Thank you" she scribbled her signature away

"Thank you for choosing Degrassi General" the nurse smiled before walking away to file the papers.

"Where's Jimmy?" Manny whispered to Paige as the two gathered the baby's things and got her dressed to leave.

"I don't know, he said he had a surprise for you and for us to take you home, he was being really weird." Paige laughed and Manny smiled

"He's great isn't he" she buckled a smiling Sofia into her carrier.

"Yep, we have two great guys" they laughed as they watched Spinner play with Sofia, who was cooing at him.

"Well, thanks Daddy for everything, I miss you, Maybe you could come visit us" Manny hugged her dad with one arm, the other holding the carrier

"Yea maybe" he said quietly as she hugged the rest of the family and watched her exit the hospital with granddaughter.

"Are you sure you guys don't want to come up?" Manny asked Spinner and Paige as they got out of the truck.

"Nope, were just going to head out, will see you guys soon" Paige said in a baby voice to Sofia. Manny smiled as she walked in. A few people in the elevator complimented her on her beautiful daughter, which only made the day even better.

"This is our home baby" Manny whispered as she unlocked the door and put her bags on the floor. She set the carrier on the table as she undid the clasps and cradled her daughter in her arms.

"Lets look around" she smiled "This is the kitchen, and the dinning room, the living room, Mommy's room, and Yours" Manny took a step into each room.

"An this is Jimmy's Room" she opened the door. There was Jimmy sitting on the edge of his bed waiting for her. She smiled and He got up and walked over to her.

"Can I hold her?" he asked quietly

"Of course" she handed her gently over. Jimmy sat with the tiny baby in his arms.

She smiled at what a funny sight it was. Such a small infant in Jimmy's large hands. But they looked adorable together. Jimmy rocked her back and forth, and finally Sofia's newborn instincts took over and she went to sleep.

"Should we put her down?" he asked and Manny nodded. They walked into her room and laid her down and covered her with a blanket. Manny switched on the baby monitor and they both walked back to Jimmy's room.

When they got there Jimmy instinctively turned on his baby monitor.

"I got you something," he whispered in her ear.

"Why, you know I-" before she could answer Jimmy flipped open a small velvet box revealing a silver ring with a simple yet elegant princess cut diamond in the center. Manny covered her mouth.

"Its not an engagement ring or anything, just a promise ring" he told her as he took the ring out of the box. Manny laughed through the couple of tears streaming down her cheeks as she gave a slight jump. Jimmy laughed

"So what do you say, you know, we make it official" he laughed

"Well, my baby does need a dad" she looked up at him.

"I think i'm your man," he whispered

"Me too" she smiled as he slipped the ring on her left hand. She stood on her tiptoes and placed a sweet kiss on his lips.

"I love you," she whispered

"I love you too" he kissed her back. Then the room filled with Sofia's cries and they laughed.

"And so it begins" Jimmy smiled

"Ready?" Manny held out her hand and Jimmy took it in his own

"Absolutely" and the two excited the room to tend to their infant.
