Disclaimer: No, I don't own Degrassi. And I don't own the Pete Wentz cell phone pics either, but I still look at them cause he's hot. If you're a FOB fan of the right age, you KNOW what pics I'm talking about!!

A/N- Ok. I just realized something guys. I know that emma was home when Sean got there, and was supposed to be at school. I think I kinda forgot what day I said it was. So anyhoo, for the story's sake, let's just say she was getting ready for school when Sean and Vanessa showed up. Also, I'm sorry I didn't get into Sean and Vanessa's relationship much, but she's his new best friend. And finally, DaniCaliforniaML, I think you asked if Jay will be back. The answer to that is yes, he will. That's it, so, Enjoy! And comment if you'd like.

Chapter 18

Sean's POV

Vanessa ended up staying, and we joined the Simpsons for a dinner of vegetarian lasagna.

"Wow Mr. Simpson. That meal was awesome." "Why, thank you Vanessa. Help yourself to more. There's plenty." "Oh, no thanks. Although I really should be thinking about getting ready to head home." "Please, let me fix you something to take home with you." Spike told her.

"Thank you Mrs. Simpson. So, Shady, are you getting that hotel?"

"Hotel?" Snake asked. I glared at Ness.

"Well, I guess..." "No. No way Sean. You can stay here. With us. You're family. Right Christine?"

"Of course. We'd love to have you here." Em and I looked at each other. We couldn't believe they were being so cool. But then again, they did let me stay for the holidays. "There will be rules though."

"Looks like you're all set then Shady." And that was that. I was staying. Spike made Vanessa a to-go plate, and she promised to visit on some weekends before she left. Snake helped me to bring my bags in, and I moved into Jack's room again until Joey and Snake fixed up the garage for me. The rules of the house were as follows:

1. No getting into trouble.

2. No grades below a C average. No excuses.

3. Cleaning the house is everyone's responsibility.

4. Curfew is 11:30 on weekdays, 12:30 on weekends.

5. We weren't allowed into each other's rooms after midnight, any night.

I agreed, since the regulations were reasonable. On Monday I would go back to DCS.

The following day, while Emma and Snake were at school, Spike and I took care of all the legal mumbo jumbo. She and Mr S were officially my legal guardians. We started cleaning out the garage, and Mrs. S ordered the carpet she was having installed. It was already insulated, and heated. Jack was at Spike mom's house, so she left me and went to the salon. I glanced at the clock in the kitchen. I had plenty of time to nap before Em came home.

Emma's POV

The month flew by. It was already the first week of February. Sean and I were going strong. My grades were good, so I knew it was only a matter of time before something happened. Then something did.

And you know, before this morning even happened, I knew. I just knew...

8:16 am- Emma walked out of homeroom queasy. The smell in the hallway coming from the caf were only

making it worse. 'Oh, God!' She moaned, making fast tracks into the nearest washroom. In an instant, she

was on her knees in front of the toilet in the first stall, heaving out her breakfast. 'Oh, God!' She called

again, this time wiping her mouth with some tissue. Emma leaned back against the stall's wall, eyes

brimming with tears, bottom lip quivering. 'Oh, God.' She mutters, because that's all she can manage to

say. After she pulls herself together a bit, she stands, and walks to the sink to wash her hands.

"Congratulations Em. It's a...baby." She says sadly to her reflection.

Now I'm sitting on my bed. Sean's not home yet. My Dad's got a meeting and won't get home until at least seven. Mom's at work. Taking a deep breath, I reached for the phone to call Alex. It rang twice.

"Hey, it's me."

"What's up Greenpeace?"

"I have got to talk to you. Where are you? Are you going to work?" "Yeah. Uh, Jimmy's driving me."

"Hi, Emma!" I hear Jimmy say. "Tell him I said Hi back."

"Emma says Hi back. But anyway, what's up?" "I need to talk. Meaning I need to see you."

"Well, meet me, cause if I don't get there in time, Meeri will put me on toilet duty."

"Ok. Ok. See you in an hour!" That's when I heard the front door slam shut. Shit! Sean's home.

"Em! What are you doing? I'm coming down!" He must've been coming down two, by two cause a minute later, he was standing at the bottom of the staircase. He fell beside me, nuzzling his nose into my hair.

"You left me."

"Sorry. I'm just really...tired." He brushed his lips over mine, and I allowed him to kiss me. "Maybe you should sleep for a while then. You know, while it's quiet." "I think I just might do that."

"Great. I'm going over to Spin's for a while ok?" We kiss again and I inhale his masculine scent. I love it. I remember him wearing this same fragrance a few times in grade seven. "Take a nap ok? I'll call to check on you in a bit." He kissed my chees once more, and then bounded back up the steps. I wait at least twenty minutes before I leave to meet Alex.

When I arrived at the theatre, I saw Alex and Paige laughing together about something.

"Hi guys." I said dryly, as I lean on the counter. "Hey, Em. What wrong with you?"

"I feel awful. Sean thinks I'm in bed, napping. He's out with Spin." "So you told your boyfriend you were napping, only to sneak out and meet your friends hon?" "Yeah, and what's so important you had to run here to visit?"

"Hmm..My a.m. vomiting, annoying stomach cramping, sore and swollen breasts...need I continue?"

"So, you're getting your period?"We stared at Paige, who was oblivious.

Alex's head fell into her hands."Oh my God, Greenpeace, Cameron knocked you up?" Paige's jaw was slack and hanging. "Shut up!: I whisper, eyes searching for familiar faces. "Emma! Are you...pregnant" I slowly start to nod. "Pretty positive I am." "Jesus, Em. Does he know?" "No! The two of you are the first to know. I haven't even been tested yet." "Ok. Look. Go home. Do whatever. And I'll sneak a test over after I get off tonight." "Perfect Alex. I'll tell my mom you're spending the night." "Hey, can I come too? For like, moral support." "Great Paige. You can drive."

After our planning, I went home, letting everything sink into my head. After stressing myself, I laid across my bed and fell asleep.

Sean woke me up what seemed like hours later, by kissing me all over my face. "Time to get up sleeping beauty." "I'm up." "Dinner's almost done." "Ok. I'm up. I'm up." I rolled out of bed, running my fingers through my hair.

"You slept an awful long time." "Told you I was tired." I kissed him quickly. "Not so fast." Sean stopped me from getting up by laying another long kiss on my lips. "You know I love you?" "You know I love you too?" He began pushing his body on mine, making me fall backwards. I flinched when his hand roamed over one of my breasts. "Sean." I whispered, still kissing. "Oh yeah, dinner." He pulls back. He's staring at me, and I can't help but feel a little self-conscious. "Em. Are you wearing a new bra or something?" "What?"

I look down at my chest and he grins, dimples showing. "Whatever it is. I like it." He steals one last kiss and goes back upstairs. I smooth my hair again, take one last look at my chest, and folow Sean's lead up to dinner.

Sean's POV

Ok. Something's weird. Em's acting strangely. Alex and Paige ahowed up together ofter ten o' clock, and the three girls hustled down to Em's room. I was left on the couch to watch tv alone. Shaking my head, I flipped through channels with the remote. Em came upstairs. "Washroom." She smiles. "Oh-Kay." But I half laughed. Damn. The sight of her put a smile on my face. Even when she's acting weird. When she came back out, I stopped her. "Hey Em. I was actually thinking...maybe we could..." "With Alex and Paige staying the night? Don't worry. I'll make it up to you. I promise." She kissed me, slightly biting my lip. "I'll see you in the morning." "Ok." Then she was gone as quick as she came. Not that I was dwelling on it, but we hadn't been 'together' since Christmas night, and everytime we were alone, she was driving me crazy.

My mind shifted from Emma to Vanessa. I hadn't talked to her since she and Josh were here two Saturdays ago. I took my cell from my pocket and dialed her number.
