What If?

Chapter Seventeen

We Can Live Like Jack and Sally

Halloween

Shay sat in the hotel conference room that was turned into a Halloween masquerade ball. It was her and her sisters idea to do something for their friends and fellow classmates. Everyone was wearing masks. No one was allowed to show their face until Midnight, when the best dressed person would be revealed. She stood up and fixed her stockings. Shay had decided to dress up as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. She had found the perfect mask to cover her eyes and painted stitches on the rest of her face. Jay was dressed up as Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas. They both looked pretty good. Alex and Craig, now out as a couple to the rest of the world, dressed as vampires. Ellie and Sean were devils. Spinner was dressed as Hue Hefner and Emma was dressed as a playboy bunny.

Shay looked around for anyone she knew, when she spotted Snake. She had remembered that the PTA of Degrassi said there had to be a few chaperons. She just never bothered to ask who. Shay and her sisters haven't really talked to Spike that much. Emma has only gone home to grab more clothes, that was all. She's been living with Shay and Alex. Well, more like Shay, Alex, Jay, Craig and Spinner. Sean and Ellie would stay over on weekends.

Shay quickly found Jay, "Jay, dance?"

Jay smiled, "Of course."

Blink 182's, I Miss You, came on, "How ironic." Shay said, laughing.

Jay kissed her softly, "Well, we can you know."

"How exactly would we do that?"

"No idea."

"Snake's here." Shay blurted out.

Jay nodded, "I know. He was looking for you, Spike's here, too."

Shay sighed, "Great."

"You guys have to talk to her eventually you know. She's your mother."

"Yeah, the one who gave me up."

Jay pulled her away to look into her eyes, "Shay, don't you want her in your life? In any form?"

Shay shrugged, "I don't know."

Shay was tapped on the shoulder, it was Emma and Alex, "What's up guys?"

Alex looked at Emma, then back to Shay, "We're talking to her. Now. Let's go."

Alex pulled Shay and Emma by the arm out of the room. Spike was sitting in phone area. She stood up when she saw them.

Alex let go of Shay and Emma's arm, "I don't know about you guys, but I want a mother in my life who doesn't have abusive boyfriends. I'm not saying I'm not hurt over everything, though. I just, want things to get better."

Emma looked at her mother, "I'm sorry Mom. For leaving. I figured you needed to suffer. I don't want to come back, though. I'm happy."

Spike nodded, "And you, Shay?"

Shay rolled her eyes, "I won't call you Mom or Snake dad. Not until I'm ready. And I want to meet Shane."

Spike nodded, "Now, all of you, come here." They all walked towards Spike and embraced them in a hug, "I've missed you, guys.

Five Years Later

"Shayna! Come on! We're going to be late! Jay will kill you if we're late!" Alex screamed up the stairs.

Shay walked down the stairs in a long white dress, "Lex, chill. They can't start until I get there anyways."

Alex looked at her sister, in awe, "Shay, you look amazing."

Shay smiled, "Thank you. And never call me Shayna again."

They both left the house and got into the limo that was waiting outside, Emma, Spike and Ellie were inside the limo waiting for them.

Spike looked at Shay when she got in the limo, "I can not believe my last little girl is getting married!"

Alex laughed, "At my wedding it was, 'I can't believe my little girl is getting married.'"

Emma smiled, "Mine, it was 'I can't believe my little girl is growing up.'"

Ellie rolled her eyes, "Please, Spike was crying more than my own mother was at my wedding."

Spike wiped away the joyful tears that were coming from eyes, "I just can't believe it. And Ellie, you're like a daughter to —"

Alex cut her off, "She better not be!"

They all started laughing and the limo stopped. The driver got out and opened the door for them. Shay was the last out.

Emma grabbed her hand, "Come on, let's go!"

Ten Minutes Later

Shay looked up to her grandfather, "Thank you, Papa. For doing this. I appreciate it."

Mr. Radditch smiled, "I'm sure Shane would have been here if he could have."

Shay nodded, "I know. But, it would have been too overwhelming for him."

Mr. Radditch sighed, "You ready?"

Shay smiled, "Definitely. I love him so much."

They slowly made their way down the aisle. When they got to Jay, her grandfather moved the veil out of her face, kissed her on the cheek and sat down.

Jay took Shay's hand and squeezed it.

Twenty Minutes Later

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Shay and Jay kissed. They both turned around to face their friends and family.

Everyone cheered as Jay and Shay made their way up the aisle. They were off to their small reception and then off to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

The End

I didn't want to end it, I just didn't want to go down the boring road of people getting pregnant and blah blah blah. We've heard it all before.

Just so you all know, Alex married Craig and had a boy, James. Emma married Spinner and had a girl, Alexz. Ellie married Sean and they had a boy, Andrew. After Shay and Jay's honeymoon, Shay found out she was pregrant and soon had a girl, Parker.

Thank you all for reading. I appreciate the reviews and everything.
