Thanks for the reviews. I really didn't think I would get nice ones. I appreciate it. I've done 6 chapters so far and I only started early Sunday morning. I'm trying to keep the chapters long, I know I like getting a new chapter that's really long and has a lot of stuff going on.

Together, No Matter What

Emma had stayed at Ellie's all weekend. She liked being there. It was like being on her own. Jay had stayed over with her, too. Sean and Ellie didn't mind at all. They liked have their friends their. Ellie and Emma had become really close over the weekend. They would talk about everything while the guys played their video games. Manny and Craig came over on Saturday night. Emma has asked if it was cool if she invited them over for dinner. Ellie and Sean said it was totally, as long as Emma was cooking. It was a good meal and everyone one got along. After dinner, Ellie and Emma washed the dishes together. Craig had to get Manny home before 11, so they left almost right after dinner was over. (A/n they like to eat late I guess, lol.) While they were washing dishes, Ellie had suggested to Emma that she talk to her mom about staying with her and Sean for a little while, just until things settled down with Snake. Emma decided she would go home after school and talk to her mom.

Jay pulled into a parking space in the school parking lot. Emma, Sean, Ellie and Jay all piled out of the car. They got there kind of early and just hung outside. 5 minutes after they got there, they saw Manny and Craig walk over to them. Jay could tell something was up with Craig. He looked nervous and he kept looking a Manny like if she breathed the wrong away she would hurt herself.

Emma didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Craig, but she noticed Manny wasn't her peppy self, "Hey Manny, Craig. What's going on?"

Manny looked at Craig and then quickly looked at Emma and Ellie, "Nothing much, can I talk to you two for a min?"

Emma and Ellie nodded. "Jay, can you borrow your car for a few minutes? Just to talk in?"

"Yeah of course, Em." He tossed her the keys and Ellie, Emma and Manny got in. Emma put the keys in the ignition so they could put the A/C on and some music. Ellie was seating in the passenger seat and Manny was seating in the back.

"Ok, Manny, what's going on?" Ellie was surprised that Manny wanted to talk to her, too.

"Alright, promise me you both wont scream and draw attention to the car when I tell?" She looked at the both them and Emma turned up the music louder, just in case. "Well, Craig and I...we're...I'm pregnant. We were careful this time though, Em," she could see the look on Emma's face. "We used a condom, I guess it just didn't work We told out parents, they were really supportive. I think it's because we're both a little older now. They said they would be happy with our choice."

"And what's your choice?" Emma and Ellie spat at the question at the same time.

Manny smiled, "We're going to keep it."

Emma looked at her friend, she was happy that she said that. "Manny, that's great!"

"Yeah, Manny it really is. I just got the best idea."

Emma and Manny both looked at each other, "Uh oh."

"Oh, shut up. Well, Sean and my apartment has 3 bedrooms, well pretty much 4 because we have a den/computer room that we just use for random things. What if you and Craig move in? Emma might be, too. She just has to talk to her mom. It'll be crazy but I think we could do it. It'll be great. That way when you have the baby you will always have a babysitter. Of course it'll be until Craig and you get sick of us and get a bigger place."

Manny smiled, "Ellie, thank you so much. Let's go tell Craig and Sean."

They got out of the car and told them their idea.

"So, Craig, Sean...what do you think?" Ellie looked at the two of them, hoping they would agree.

Sean spoke first, "Well, it's cool with me as long as I don't have to see him in his boxers!"

Craig pushed him and started to laugh, "Yeah, buddy the same goes to you."

Jay felt a little left out. He would be the only one not living there out of their little clique. But, he figured if Emma moved in he would be there all the time anyway.

The excitement of Craig and Manny moving in grew through out the school day. Though, at lunch, things turned to the worst.

Paige had heard Jay, Craig and Sean talking. Once she heard the word 'pregnant' she knew Ellie, Emma or Manny were pregnant. Who ever it was, she was going to have fun. Once she was sure that all 3 happy couples were in the lunch room, she stood up on her seat.

"Excuse me! Excuse me! I have a small announcement to make. One of our fellow students is pregnant!" The room got quiet and everyone was looking at anyone who looked like they had gained weight. "I've narrowed it down to 3 people...Are you read to hear them?" The cafeteria roared with excitement. "OK, OK, relax. The 3 suspects are...Drum roll please Spin," Spinner drummed a little on his binder, "Ellie Nash, Emma Nelson, and surprise, surprise, Manny Santos! Why don't you 3 fess up and tell us which one of you is preggo."

The entire student body was staring at Ellie, Emma and Manny. They all looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Then they saw their boyfriends walk over to them. They had been standing in line getting some food while Paige was making her little announcement. Craig looked at Manny and whispered to her, "Babe, if you want to tell them go ahead. Either way they are going to find out."

Manny knew he was right. So, she was about to confess when Ellie stepped forward, "I'm the one who's pregnant." It was lie. She wasn't, she was on the pill. She was hoping Sean would realize she was just giving Manny time to get use to the fact that she was pregnant before telling the whole school.

"Well, well, well. Ellie Nash is pregnant. Congrats on behalf of the student body." Paige was hoping it was Manny, not Ellie. She had a bunch of insults prepared if it was Manny. She was totally bummer.

The 3 couples walked out of the lunch room and decided to skip the rest of the day. They headed to the parking lot and all crammed into Jay's car, Jay driving, Emma next to him, Sean in the passenger seat, Ellie was behind Jay, Manny was next to her and Craig was behind Sean.

When they had got a safe distant from the school, Manny turned to look at Ellie, "El, what the hell was that?" She didn't mean to have it sound like she was mad at her for it. She was kind of relieved.

"I just wanted you to be able to tell people when you were ready. Paige just wants to start more rumors. You know she was hoping it was you. Did you see her face when I said it was me? She looked devastated."

Emma laughed from the front seat, "Yeah, her face was pretty priceless. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but you beat me to it, El."

Craig leaned forward a bit to look at Ellie, "Thanks, El. I know we never really got a long before because of the whole Ash thing. That was a really nice thing to do. It means a lot to me."

"Don't try to be hitting on my girl, Craig. We know how you are." Sean couldn't help saying that. He was only joking. The whole car was full of laughter.

XXXX

Emma had Jay drop her off a little after school got out. She told everyone she would meet them back at Sean and Ellie's apartment. Manny and Craig had to go tell their parents their plan. Sean, Ellie and Jay were going to go clean up the extra bedrooms.

Emma walked into her house and decided to tell her mom she had left school and why. Also, she was going to talk to her about staying at Ellie's.

"Mom! Are you home?"

"Yeah, Em. I'm in the kitchen."

Emma walked into the kitchen. Her mom looked so tired.

"Mom, just so you know, I left school today after lunch," she could tell her mom was about to say something. "But, before you say anything, I'm going to tell you why. Manny found out she was pregnant and some how Paige overheard someone say one of us, meaning Ellie, Manny and Me, were pregnant. She announced to the whole cafeteria that one of us pregnant. When she asked one of us to step up, Ellie did, to protect Manny. We just couldn't stand the stares. So, we all left."

"Alright, that's understandable, Em. Anything else you want to talk about?"

"Actually, Mom, there is. Things have been really hard here. I just can't handle it. I'm not trying to say I want out of the family but, do you think I could stay at Ellie's for a little while?"

"Doesn't she live with Sean?"

"Yeah, but Craig and Manny are going to move in there this weekend, and Ellie's mom always comes by, you could, too. Please, Mom? It's not forever. I can still help out with Jack, too. When you have to go to the hospital and stuff he can stay with me."

Spike was shocked that her daughter was asking this. "Fine, but all of you have to come over for dinner one night a week, that includes Jay. I want to meet Ellie's mom. You also will have to help out with rent in whatever way you all agree on, with your own money or the money you get from Shane."

"Thank you, Mom!"

Emma hugged her mom and ran downstairs. She packed up some of her clothes and grabbed some empty boxes that were on the other side of the basement. She carefully packed up her pictures and little nick-knacks. While she was packing she called Jay and told him to come over and help her.

XXXX

When Jay arrived all of her stuff was packed. The boxes, and bags were stacked neatly. Her desk and computer were next to the boxes. All that was left was her bed, and dresser which she was leaving there because Ellie had said Sean's bed was staying in the room she would be taking and there was an extra dresser in the den which would be Manny's baby's room.

"Wow, Em. Pack fast enough?"

"Huh? Oh, I guess. I just didn't want my Mom packing anything. I don't know what I have hidden in here."

"I see you're taking your computer and your desk? I'm glad I borrowed a truck from Joey."

"Thanks, hun. For helping me. This is going to be good. Like a fresh start."

"Yeah it is. I love you, Em."

"I love you, Jay."

They got everything into the car, and drove over to the apartment. Sean and Jay brought everything. When they were almost done, Craig and Manny were walking over. Craig helped with the rest of the stuff and Manny went inside.

"So, I'm guessing your mom said yea?" Manny looked at Emma who was sitting on the couch when she walked in.

"Yeah, she did. Isn't that great?"

"Yeah it is. My mom said yeah. We're going to be moving in this weekend. Joey actually thought it was a great idea. He said he didn't want it to seem like he was pushing us to get a place, but it was good we were getting one now."

Ellie had decided that the girls should figure out the rent. The boys would just fight over it.

"OK, rent for a month is $700. Everything is included. There's 6 of use living here..." She was cut off by Emma.

"6? I thought it was 5?"

"Well, Jay. I figured he would be here enough that he could just move in too."

Emma smiled, "OK, cool. You have a point there."

"So, I can pay $200 a month, and the rest of you can do a $100? Of course we all have to pitch in for food and everything else. Sound good?"

Emma and Manny nodded in agreement.

XXXX

The guys had finished bringing Emma's stuff in and had already brought the truck back. They found out that Jay was moving in with them, too. They were all pretty psyched. Jay had decided to pack up his clothes and whatever other personal items he had and bring them over. When he got back, Ellie and Sean were in bed and Craig and Manny had gone home. He went into Sean's old room, which was now Emma's. She had put all her stuff away already and had her computer set up.

"Hey, Em. Looks good."

"Thanks, Jay. I saved some shelf space for you, and draw and closet space, too."

Jay didn't even think of where he would be sleeping or keeping his stuff. He was surprised Emma had done that without them even talking first.

"So, you want to share a room?"

"Yeah of course. I don't want you to sleep on the couch. But, this doesn't mean you're going to be having sex every night." She laughed.

"That's totally cool. I told you, when you're ready."

He threw his stuff into the draws she had left for him. And put up the few pictures he had. He had some books and magazines that he threw in one of the draws of the desk. He changed out of his clothes and just had his boxers off. He walked over to the bed where Emma was already laying in, under the covers.

"Is it ok, if I sleep in my boxers?"

"Yeah. Of course."

He laid down next to her and they fell asleep.

It was only the beginning of the first full week of school, and everything was crazy, in a good way though. Manny was having Craig's baby. Emma moved out of her mom's to live in an apartment that didn't have adult supervision. Jay moved in with Emma. Craig and Manny would soon be living there, too. 3 of Degrassi Community School's newest most talked about couples all living under one roof. Who knows what is ahead.

Hope you guys like. It's pretty long. I feel like I'm just babbling on and on while I'm typing out the story. Sorry, if it seems that way. I'm pretty sure only Manny will pregnant, just so you know. I think it will be pretty cliche if all 3 girls get pregnant.
