I Disclaim: I have no rights to or association with Degrassi or any of the characters, or name brands used in this story except of course Mykel , and Alexia, they're mine and you can't have them.

Sometimes I seriously ask myself who cares about my story? Then I remember that it is human nature to be fascinated and enticed by drama. To have a glimpse into someone else's life and say well at least my life isn't that bad. The greatest pleasure to any person however is when they witness secrets as they are exposed, when that happens it is definitely time to get the popcorn ready.

After the Saturday morning bedroom fiasco, Marco decided that he would stay with his parents until his apartment was ready. Ellie tried to tell him that it wasn't necessary, but things were very awkward between him and Sean. Craig also took the hint, well something like that.

Flashback

A few days earlier

" Hey Jay where's everyone at?" Craig questioned when he returned from his rehearsal that Sunday afternoon. Jay glared up at him and then looked back at the T.V.

"Um hello, Jay," Craig said as he sat next to him on the couch. "Where did everyone go?"

Jay was trying to be a little respectful for Ellie and her house, even though he wanted to punch Craig's face in, so he decided to go watch T.V in his room.

"You don't scare me Jay, now just tell me where they went." Craig yelled, causing Jay to stop in his tracks and walk back towards him.

"I don't like you," Jay started as he pushed Craig up against the closest wall. "Nobody does, you are a creepy dick, so If you value your queer little life, then you will pack your shit and leave." Jay said as he held Craig up to the wall, now by his throat. "I mean it, so don't toy with me." Jay decided to give Craig one good punch in the stomach for good measure, before he let him go and walked off to his room slamming the door.

End Flashback

Needless to say, Craig decided to get a hotel room for the rest of his stay in Toronto. He assured everyone that he would still stop by for Mykel's birthday party that following Saturday however, despite the extreme lack of enthusiasm on everyone else's behalf.

Mykel had yet to wake up through the night, let alone have a nightmare, since Jay and Alex had moved in. Maybe it was her imagination after all. Alex and Jay's relationship was getting better by the day and Alex knew that she was going to have to break things off with Paige soon but she just didn't know how. She truly cared for her and her daughter, and hated seeing her with Matt, maybe if she could get her away from him... She had too figure out something, staying with both Paige and Jay wasn't fair to anyone. The living situation, to everyone's surprise, was actually working out well. It was already the end of the first week, and Jay, Alex, Sean, and Ellie, felt like they had been living like this forever. They had so much fun every night whether they were just watching T.V or if they were playing cards. Mykel was in perfect bliss, She was three years old as of that Wednesday, and she couldn't have asked for a better birthday; having her whole family, well as far as she knew, together. She had been eagerly counting down the days to her party, and now it was finally here. What she didn't know however, was that the events of the day would throw a huge wrench into their happy little arrangement.

"Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy," Mykel happily ran into Sean and Ellie's room around 10:30 that morning and jumped on their bed.

"Morning Kelly," Sean said as he hugged his daughter.

"You're up early, sweetie." Ellie smiled as her daughter squeezed in the bed between them.

"It's my party today, I am super cited." Mykel said happily as she pulled something from her pocket.

"What you got there kiddo," Sean said curiously.

"It's a poem I wrote for you about me," Mykel giggled as she opened the wrinkled paper with the blue and yellow squiggles.

"You wrote a poem," Ellie said excitedly. "I'm so proud of you sweetie let's here it."

"Ok," she said smiling ear to ear as she proceeded to clear her throat.

"I like colors, I like to draw

I like Elmo, I like cars

I especially like coloring cars.

Now I'm three and so happy

that I have Mommy and Daddy who love me.

I love you this much" Mykel smiled as she stretched her arms all the way out as Ellie looked at Sean amazed.

In less than five hours their house would have more people in it than ever before. Ellie had invited all of Mykel's friends from daycare and of course their parents, and her and Sean's old friends. She had been planning all week, and all she had to do now was go pick up Mykel's birthday cake.

"Ok Kelly why don't we get you dressed and then we can go downstairs and put up the decorations." Ellie said as she started to get out of bed.

"Ok mommy," Mykel said as she hopped off of the bed and ran back across the hall to her bedroom to grab her birthday outfit.

"You ready for today," Sean smiled as he leaned up and gave Ellie a kiss.

"Oh yea I can't wait for all of our old friends and their screaming children to fill my house," Ellie laughed.

"The only people who have kids are Liberty and Towers, and Spinner and that D.A chick." Sean laughed.

"Why did he marry her anyway, is he the only one who can't tell she is a total lesbian." Ellie laughed.

"We all know Spinner is a little special." Sean laughed.

"Ashley's coming too," Ellie said showing little enthusiasm.

"You sound so excited."Sean commented as he turned on the T.V.

"All I need is her coming here putting my life down," Ellie said as she sat back down on the bed.

"I wish Ashley would," Sean said as he wrapped his arms around Ellie. "She knows better." Sean said as he kissed Ellie's neck.

"Not now Sean," Ellie laughed as she got up from the bed. "I have to take a shower."

"Cool I'll join you." Sean said as he started to get out of bed.

"No way," Ellie laughed as she grabbed her towel.

"Aww, come on Elle," Sean pouted.

"Not this time Sean." Ellie laughed as she gave him a quick peck and ran into the bathroom locking the door.

"So Mykel's birthday party is today," Paige said to Alex, as they sat on a park bench later that afternoon .

"Yeah, you wanna come." Alex said looking up at Paige.

"I think that would be just a tad bit awkward," Paige smiled.

"I guess," Alex said as she leaned back and inhaled the April weather.

"What's wrong," Paige said as she began to stroke Alex's hair.

"I don't know Paige it's just," Alex started but began to hesitate.

"Just what, you're not breaking up with me are you!" Paige said pulling away from Alex.

"No it's not like that at all," Alex lied. "It's just I am comfortable with Jay, I mean I still love you and I don't want to hurt you. I just don't know how long I can keep living this double life. Last week he even hinted at marriage." Alex said as she looked down and twisted the pink ring Paige gave her on her finger.

"You can't be serious Alex," Paige said tears threatening to spill from her eyes. "Jay is dirt, think of everything he did to you why would you even consider marrying him." Paige said almost pleading.

"Same reason that you are still with Matt," Alex said.

"I won't let you leave me," Paige said changing the subject as she pulled Alex into a kiss.

"Alex?" Someone said curiously from behind them.

"Amy?" Alex said nervously as she looked up.

"Girl, I haven't seen you in forever!" Amy shrieked, as she ran around to the other side of the bench and pulled Alex into a hug, pushing Paige aside as if she wasn't even there.

"There's a reason we haven't talked Amy," Alex said as she broke the hug and got up from the bench.

"Please Alex how many times do I have to apologize for that." Amy said sadly.

"Amy you." Alex began but was cut off by a energetic dirty blonde five year old running between them.

"Mama, that lady over there," the little girl pointed. "She said she wants a word with you."

"Oh my gosh Taryn, what did you do now." Amy said angrily.

"What," the little girl said as she shrugged. She was cute and had a very familiar face to Alex, as if she had known the little girl forever. "It wasn't my fault this time mama, he took my soda, so I kicked him, and rubbed his face in the sand." The little girl Taryn said as she pointed to the red faced crying boy who was sitting next to the woman, obviously the lady's son. The boy was twice Taryn's size and Alex was slightly impressed.

"I'm so sorry Alex I have to go handle this. I don't know why she is so bad, she must get it from her father's side of the family," Amy laughed nervously. I wish we could catch up with each other, I really miss the old days." Amy said sadly.

"What old days Amy, you mean the when you used to try and steal my boyfriend from me." Alex snapped.

"Hon, why don't you invite her to the party today, bury the hatchet." Paige interjected.

"Why would I do that," Alex said giving Paige an evil look.

"Come on we should all catch up, get to know each other again." Paige smiled.

"I'm sorry," Amy said rudely, "but who are you again."

"I'm Alex's girlfriend Paige." Paige said as she smiled and offered her hand to Amy.

"I don't shake people's hands,"Amy said as she directed her attention back to Alex. "So what party is she talking about," Amy asked curiously.

"No big deal, you remember Sean and Ellie," Amy nodded. "It's just a birthday party for their daughter."

"Are you serious, Sean had a baby by that blood sucking freak." Amy said angrily.

"That freak, is my friend, my best friend, practically my sister, and if you ever talk about her or her husband again, I will deck more than your face this time." Alex said defensively.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think that," Amy started but Alex cut her off.

"You never think Amy, that's why we aren't friends anymore," Alex said as she began to walk away.

"Well it was really nice meeting you," Paige smiled as she went after Alex.

"Excuse me, Miss but we have the small matter to discuss about what you delinquent child did too my son," The lady yelled as she began to walk towards Amy.

"I so don't need all of this today," Amy said as her daughter tried to give her an innocent look. "You are just like your father." Amy said as she rolled her eyes.

"Too bad I never met him," Taryn said as she walked back over to the sand box, leaving her mother to deal with the crazy lady and her son.
