Author's Note: I know that it has been a while but I have been busy with my mom. Sorry. I know that you don't leave the hospital that early but hey, this is my story! Lol!
Manny helped her husband through the door and went back outside to get their bags. She had called Emma and she was coming over later to help Manny with some laundry. Craig looked around the house. It looked as if no one had set foot inside of it for months. He shook his head and made his way slowly to the couch. Manny returned carrying their bags. She went to the back and put them in the laundry room. She came back into the living room to check on Craig. "Honey, can I fix you something to eat? The doctors said it would be good for you to eat something." Craig sat up on the couch and said, "No, I'm not hungry. I just want to spend some time with you. It's weird but even though I was in a coma, I feel like I was away on a business trip and that I've missed you terribly." Manny walked over to the couch and sat down beside him. "It's not weird at all. I feel like I haven't really seen you for months. Even though you were right beside me, I felt as if you were a hundred miles away. The important thing is that you're home and healthy." He took her hand and laced his fingers through hers. "What time is it?" Craig asked. Manny looked at her watch, "it's only 3:30. Why?"
"How fast can you get ready?"
"For what?"
"I want to take you out to dinner."
"No, no baby," she said turning to face him, " you just got home. You don't have to take me out."
Craig grinned, which made him look just like the teenage boy Manny fell in love with years ago. "I know I don't have to. But I want to. I love you Manny, and I want to do things for you. You will never know how much you mean to me."
Manny was touched. Never had Craig said anything like that to her. She leaned over and kissed him. He returned her kiss and gently touched her cheek. They sat there looking at each other until the doorbell rang. Manny got up and answered the door. "Sorry, Em, but there has been a change of plans. Craig and I are going out tonight."
"Oh, okay. That's great," Emma replied, "But I need to tell you that I wont be here for the next couple of days. I'm going back home to pack the rest of my things so that I can move back here. I also have to get Tiffani's school records transferred to Degrassi."
"That's fine," Manny said cheerfully, " I hope you have a safe trip." They shared a quick hug and Emma said hi to Craig before she left. Manny walked over to Craig and sat down again.
He studied her for a long moment before asking, "Manny, I'm not sure if I was dreaming or not, but I thought that I heard you say something. Are you pregnant?"
Manny's eyes brightened and she smiled, "Yep! Four months along!"
"Wow! This is great!" Craig said excitingly, "I can't believe that I'm going to be a father!" He hugged Manny tightly. He pulled back to see her crying. He wiped a tear from her cheek, " what? What's wrong?"
Manny took a deep breathe, "I was afraid that you weren't going to wake up. I thought that I would have to raise this baby by myself and it would never get to know who it's father was. I was so scared." She broke down into a mountain of sobs. Craig took her in his arms and stroked her hair softly, "shh. It's okay. I'm here, Baby. I'm not going anywhere." Manny nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes, "Okay, well I am going to go get ready. Do you need anything before I hop in the shower?"
"No, I think I can handle things."
"Okay, well, I'll be out in a few minutes," she gave him a quick kiss before heading upstairs to get ready. After Manny had left, Craig sat there thinking about what she had said. What if I wasn't here? What if I hadn't pulled through? He shivered at the though of leaving Manny alone. Even when he used to fight with her, he never thought he would leave her. He loved her. Love had truly shown them a miracle today, hopefully it wouldn't disappoint them.
