Manny loved being in Boston. She made a lot of friends and even went on a couple of dates. But she still missed Craig and Emma and everyone back in Canada. It was lonely in Boston. Her aunt was young and let Manny do what she wanted but was always at work, so Manny had the power to do anything. Throw parties or have boys over, anything. She had the power to do it. But she didn't want to. She spent all her time taking care or Cassandra. Cassandra was her new best friend and the love of her life. It made Manny happy that she had Cassandra with her because it was hers. Not anyone else's. Her's. And Craig's. Her and Craig's daughter. When her aunt came home, they sat at the dinner table in silence. They never really had anything to talk about.

"So, Manny. How's school?"

"It's fine. But It's spring break right now."

"Really? Wow. Have any plans?"

"No. I'm planning to make Cassie's baby book though."

"Oh…Well… Uhm… Do you like my cooking?"

Manny found it funny how her aunt would just switch to the weirdest topics.

"Its great."

"Hey. You know what I was thinking? How about we spend some of your spring break in Canada and maybe we could visit your friends."

"Really?!?! Yeah! That sounds great!" Manny suddenly looked down and said "My parents will never let me though."

"Actually, they're fine with it. They just don't want you staying in their house."

"THEIR house? It's my house too. Where do they think I'll stay?"

"Manny, please don't be upset. At least you're going and they called up Ana or Emmie's or whatever that girl's name is' parents and they said it was okay if you stay with them for the whole two weeks."

"Awesome… When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spike was in the kitchen cooking dinner. She knew Manny was already in Degrassi, because she was the one who picked her up from the airport. She wanted it to be a surprise for Emma though so she dropped Manny off at her house so she can say hello to her parents.

"Mom, I'm gonna leave now to go to the Dot with Craig."

"Again? Honey, But I have something special prepared tonight."

"Please, Mom. Can't you do this some other night?"

"But… Fine."

Spike just decided that she could surprise Emma by taking Manny to the Dot later so she could also see her other friends too. Emma stopped by Craig's house before going to the Dot because she wasn't sure if they were still going.

"Hey Craig."

"Hey Emma. I was just thinking about you."

She always liked how Craig always knew what to say. After every compliment, he was rewarded with a kiss.

"Are we still going to the Dot?"

"Yeah. Let's go now. I'm starving."

It took them forever to get to the Dot due to traffic and when they had finally arrived it, there was a crowd in the middle. Everyone they knew from Degrassi was there. Paige, Spinner, Hazel, Jimmy, Sean, JT, Liberty, Toby, Kendra, Terri, and everyone else. When Ashley and Ellie pushed their way out of the crowd they bumped into Craig and Emma. When Ashley who she bumped into she just put on a grin that looked so evil, it would even scare blind men.

"What's going on?" Craig asked and saw JT running to him.

"Craig! Emma! Guess who's here."

"Who? Britney Spears?"

"Good guess. But no. Push through the crowd and see."

Emma and Craig pushed tried to push their way through the crowd and even lost each other. Craig was the first to make it through. Once he got in the middle, he could see a dark- haired women with her back turned. He could see Paige and Hazel though. It looked like they were playing with something.

"Manny?!"

Manny was so excited about seeing her old friends, but she was disappointed she didn't see Craig or Emma yet. She then heard a familiar voice that belonged to Craig.

"Craig?!?"

Once she turned around, he figured out what everyone was looking at. It was a baby.

"Craig, I want you to meet someone. This is Cassandra."

"Who… Who is she?" Craig asked confused as Manny gave him the baby.

"She's our-"

"Gosh! Finally! People can be so mean sometimes. All I wanted to do was to get in front of the crowd and-"

"EMMA!"

"Oh my gosh." The two girls hugged for what seemed like eternity.

"What are you doing here. Theres so much I have to tell you" Emma stopped smiling as she said these words. She realized she couldn't tell Manny what she wanted to.

"Great. Let's find a table. I need to talk to you and Craig."

Craig and Emma followed Manny as she sat at a nearby table.

"First of all, Craig, I kept the baby. Well, I think that's kind of obvious but yeah, I know I owe you an explanation. And here it is. When my parents found out I was pregnant they threatened to ship me off to the Philippines or force me to get an abortion. When I refused to give up the baby, they said they couldn't handle my being here so they sent me off to live with my aunt, where they wouldn't be ashamed of me. They wouldn't let me tell you because they knew you wouldn't let me leave. And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. I was just trying to protect you. I want you to live out your dreams and I don't want anything to hold you back- especially me."

"Manny, You should've told me…"

"I know… I am so sorry. I hope you forgive me."

"I do. It's just… I missed out on her birth, her first birthday, her first laugh."

"I'm sorry. You don't know how much it hurt me to leave you, thinking I was never gonna see you again."

"It hurt me too. I think I'm still hurting."

"Maybe you can visit me in Boston now. My parents have completely disowned me and don't care what I do anymore, but I still have to live with my aunt until the government approves of my emancipation. I'm staying here for the next two weeks though. It's spring break at home, so I won't be missing anything."

Emma was busy playing with the baby to hear nything Manny was saying until Ashley came.

"Hey Manny! How are you?"

Manny was still kind of uncomfortable around Ashley. She felt inferior to her and felt like she owed her something for taking Craig away.

"I'm Great. How are you?"

"I'm good too. But can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Don't you feel uncomfortable barging in and interrupting Emma and Craig's date?" Satisfied with herself, Ashley walked away.

"Huh? Date?" Manny let out a little giggle. "What was she talking about? It's not like you guys are together." Manny let out another giggle.

"Uhm-Well-See…" Manny suddenly stopped laughing.

"Oh, I see how it is. I'm really sorry for interrupting. I'll take Cassie and go back to your house, your mom is waiting for me to call. Maybe we can talk later about the Cassie, and you can spend some time with her. I'll see you later guys. Have a nice date."

Craig and Emma sunk back into their seats, wishing they could die. Even death seemed better than the predicament they were in.

Will Craig pick between Emma and Manny? Will Manny move away again? Will Ashley be triumphant in getting Craig to be unhappy? Read again and find out! The sooner I get some more reviews, the sooner the next chapter will be up.
