"Last time I heard from you, you were on tour with Craig. And now your married to Jimmy?" Ellie had lost touch with Ashley over the years.

"It wasn't the same with Craig. I was always standing behind him on stage we never really got to be equals. Jimmy lets me be his partner." Ashley loved her husband.

"Craig was always a bad habit to every girl he dated." Ellie said.

"And even to some who weren't." Ashley commented.

"True. I moved on too. I married my college boyfriend, Jessie. We have a son, Liam." Ellie told her old friend.

"Really? I can't believe you're a mom Ellie Nash, Newspaper writer and Mother. How old is he?" Ashley was surprised by this news.

"He is almost four now. Jessie and I both work for the newspaper in Montréal, I do a lot of free lance so I can stay home with Liam. It's amazing being a mother isn't it?" Ellie enjoyed being a mother.

"I know what you mean. Its crazy how much they learn and pick up from the world around them. I bet your little boy loves the color black." Ashley thought about her own two children.

"Haha. As a matter of fact Liam loves red." Ellie stated.

"Excuse me ladies but I would like to steal my wife away before the line gets to long. You are welcome to come stand in line with you if you like Ellie" Jimmy had said when he approached his wife and her friend.

"Oh no thank you. I told Marco I would wait for him. I just wish he would hurry up." Ellie stood and took her phone out to call Marco while she walked away from Jimmy and Ashley.

The steps to Degrassi high felt awkward under Liberty's feet. She hadn't been back since her brother, Danny, graduated. She wished every night before she shut her eyes that she could come back to this place but when she did her one true love would be waiting for her.

Liberty hadn't planned on coming but here she was on the last step looking at school she attended, a school where she once walked down the halls pregnant holding the babies fathers hand.

Liberty sucked up some air and pushed open the door. She had told herself before she talked to anyone or even stopped to think about anything she would go to the Zen garden to see him. She pushed through the crowds and finally made her way to the bench across from his tree. The tree had grown, something J.T. could never do. Liberty held on to the bench with her hands trying to keep the tears from coming.

"I thought I'd find you hear." A voice said from behind Liberty. She turned around and there stood Toby.

"Toby. I wanted to say hi to him." Liberty stood and hugged her friend.

"Look how big the tree has gotten." Toby said.

"I can still remember the day we planted it, me you Manny and Emma. It was a bitter sweet day." Liberty tried not to think to much about it.

"Yes it was. Come on lets go stand it that line." Toby took her hand and they went back inside.

"Liberty!" Manny called when she saw her. Manny gave her a hug first then Emma.

"You both look great. I see you on T.V. all the time Manny!" Liberty told them.

"Hey Manny, Emma" Toby said.

Manny gave Toby a hug followed by Emma.

"How are you doing Liberty?" Manny asked her.

"I am doing fine. How are you and Jay doing?" This was part of the reason Liberty didn't want to come she had to make small talk with people she hadn't seen in years.

"Great, we have two little ones now." Manny told her.

"And how about you Emma any kids for you and Spinner?" Liberty asked.

"Not yet. What about you?" Emma immediately felt stupid of course Liberty had her son who she gave up for adoption.

"No, Kids for her or me yet" Toby spoke for Liberty. He felt bad he had talked her into this now. He promised her nobody would bring up her son that she had given up.

"I'm sorry Liberty. I completely forget about the baby." Emma apologized.

"Oh its fine. He isn't so little anymore he's eleven and looks just like J.T. Here take a look." Liberty said as she pulled out her wallet with her son's picture on it. Liberty only got to see her son once a year. He called her Liberty, not mom, and knew nothing about J.T. When Liberty brought it up with his adopted parents they told her later on in life when he was older that with her help they would all tell him his father had died by a knife in a killers hand. Liberty had wished every night since J.T. died that she hadn't given up the baby. She had even hired a lawyer four years back, but the adoption was iron clad and she was only legally allowed to see him once a year. His adopted parents named him James, not knowing at the time that that was his real fathers name. Liberty never brought it up with them, but it was hard to look him and see J.T.

"He does look like J.T." Emma told Liberty.

"Yeah what's his name?" Manny asked.

"They named him James, James Timothy McParson."

"No way! Did they know J.T.'s real name?" Manny asked.

"No. No they don't. Look I need to go get a number I'll catch up with you all later." Liberty pulled her hand from Toby's and walked away.

Toby headed after her. Toby had began dating Liberty five years ago. He had asked her to Marry him on their second date. He loved her, he knew she would never be able to love him the way she loved J.T. but he didn't care. She turned him down of course, and he steadily every year on the same date asks her again and again. She still answers him with the same no. But she hasn't left him and he loves her. He hoped seeing all her old friends happy and married with children would be the push she needed to finally say yes. Toby didn't think now that they were here it would work but at least it was nice seeing his old classmates.

Paige had been standing in line next to Sean Cameron and Heather Sinclair. Since Heather Sinclair was completely out of the question she turned to Sean to make conversation.

"Heard you are in the Army now?" Paige said.

"Yeah. Just shy of ten years now. What do you do Paige?" Sean wasn't sure if he liked talking to Paige yet but at least it was better than not talking to anyone.

"I work for Jason Mwese. I'm a fashion designer. I work on most of his movies and help him with his day to day things." Paige told him.

"So basically you're a personal assistant. Yeah I can see it." Sean could see it too. Paige was always so perfect it made since she would end up making someone else's life perfect for them.

"Well technically yes Army boy." Paige was done talking to him now what an ass she thought.

"Hey I wasn't saying it's a bad thing. I think its pretty cool you can keep everything running smoothly. That's sorta what I do too. I'm a Staff Sergeant, its my job to make sure no one slips up." Sean told her.

"Yeah whatever." Paige still didn't feel better. Talking about Jason actually made her miss him.

"I'm sorry if I upset you." Sean told her.

"No its not all you. I was dumped a few months back and I was thinking about him." Paige said.

"Well looks like we can be the lonely hearts club together my divorce just finished processing last month." Sean tried to make it joke but Paige didn't laugh.

"See and that's why marriage is such a joke. Your telling me Spinner and Emma. Ashley and Jimmy and all the rest are really going to make it forever what a load of crap if only my ex understood that!" Paige huffed.

"I still love Kristen I just couldn't take the cheating. Marriage is special for some people anyways." Sean said

"Sure. Whatever." Paige turned back around just in time to be the next in line. She was glad she had talk to Sean. Sure they weren't friends in high school but he looked damn hot now. Maybe he would be the one Paige would hook up. Granted he had to make the T.V. cut first she thought.
