Manny's POV
As soon as the bell rung Jonathon walked me to my locker.
"Jon" I said turning to Jonathon.
"Yeah" he said with is face towards the locker.
"What's the school's policy on pregnant students" I asked.
"Well" he answered as we walked to the door. "Its kind of non tolerant, they send them off to a school until after the child is born"
"Thanks for everything today Jon" I said.
"Your saying goodbye like I'll never see you again" he said joking.
"You may not for seven months" I said and walked to Paige.
On the ride home Paige complained the whole time about me with Jon even thought Jimmy didn't mind. I had saw him with a red haired chick which I knew was the reason why. But I knew it was nothing, he loved me and the kids to much and I had seen her with some other guy after gym.
"I have bad news guys" I said as we sat down with all the kids and Jimmy's mom for dinner.
"Don't cry mommy" Jimmy said.
"I'm not crying yet baby"
"So what is it" Craig asked stuffing his mouth.
"This school does not educate pregnant women" Jimmy's mother took the words right out of my mouth.
"Yeah, how did you know" I asked her.
"DeGrassi called to inform them and they called to talk to a parent to see if we were aware" she explained. "When I told them that yes I was aware you were having your third child and I was very excited and happy they almost flew off their rockers. They have a special school that they say you have to attend so that if anything were to happen to you while carrying my new grandson--"
"Son" Jimmy asked smiling. "What makes you so sure that it's a boy".
"I just do" she said flashing a smile. "Well they don't what anything to be on their hands if something happens to you while at school".
"I understand" I said as someone rang the doorbell.
Jimmy went to answer and came back leading Jonathon through the hall to the dinning room. I saw Paige's eyes roll to the back of her head and Craig sighed
"You dropped this on the way out of school, I thought you might need it" he said handing me my book.
"Oh thanks" I said giving him and hug and receiving a frown from Paige.
We invited him to eat dinner but he declined because he said he told his mom he would be right back. After dinner Jimmy and Craig went put back to play basketball while me and Paige set up some more stuff in the living room. Anna had a fever by the end of the night, but that gave Jimmy's mom a reason to stay a couple more days. Every time the kids got sick it made me think about Alexia. I missed her so much even thought I had only been with her a couple of months, I wanted the new baby to be a girl so that it would be like it should be. I can't say that I wanted to be a family with Hazel's baby but she did grow on me. I sure enough wouldn't forget all the things she taught me.
"MANNY" Paige was shouting since she had called my name at least ten times, but I had been thinking about Lexia.
"Oh Paige" I said flying into her in tearful sobs.
"It's alright" she said comforting me. "Everything is going to be fine, its not going to be like last time."
Jimmy's POV
I heard Paige screaming for me and I ran to the living room with out even thinking. The first thing I saw was her leaning over Manny, who was laid out on the floor.
"What happened" I asked as I ran to the other side of Manny followed by my mom.
"One second she as crying and talking about Alexia and the next she just blanked out."
"Well some one call 911" My mom said
Craig called the ambulance and soon they were there. By the time we got to the hospital Paige was in hysterics and Craig was beginning to get upset. I left both of them behind once we go the hospital. I couldn't see Manny until she calmed down, but the doctor said that she was wanting to see Alexia. I felt tears coming up as I explained to him what happened to Alexia. After she had some time to calm down they ran some test to see what was causing her hysterics before she hurt the baby. Soon after she called for Paige. Paige came out with a red face and tears in her eyes, and it was my turn next.
"Jimmy I'm sorry for what I did" she said as soon as I sat down by her bed.
"You didn't do anything" I said.
"It's my fault that Alexia isn't here" she cried
"Don't cry Manny" I said pushing her wild dark hair from her face. "There was nothing you could have done to keep that from happening.
"If I wouldn't have forgotten my phone in the car, or if I wouldn't have went shopping--" I cut off her sentence knowing what would have come next.
"If, if, if," I said. "You loved her very much and never would have done anything on purpose to hurt her.
"I love you Jimmy" she said
"I love you more" I said with a smile.
"So you think" she said before falling asleep.
