Clare's POV
It's not like Owen and Lilly to be late, Alli and Jenna it's to be expected ! I stated while pacing around our table. Clare, calm down it's just lunch and they're 5 minutes late. Eli said taking my hand and pulling me into my seat beside him. I still can't believe you guys hang out with Owen Milligan. Katie said from across the table. He's changed for the better, Lilly and the girls have changed him for the best. I said as I see my neighbors the Milligan's pull in the parking lot. I sent Alli and Jenna a quick text to remind them they are late and everyone is waiting on them. Owen and Lilly walk in and I start introducing everyone while Owen helps Lilly in her chair and takes a seat to the right of her next and to Jake. It was Katie, Jake , Marisol, Mo, Imogen, her friend Jordan, Connor, his friend Jessica, Owen, Lilly, Eli and myself. We were waiting on Alli and Jenna and their dates for the weekend who they've kept a big secret to me. I was just getting ready to suggest we start ordering when I heard the loud shrill squeals of Alli and Jenna Cllllllllllaaaaaaaarrrrrrrreeee! I turned to be attacked by hugs when I saw their surprise and I couldn't believe it. Johnny DiMarco and K.C. were there with my two bffs. What are you doing here? I asked the boys. They both laughed. Good to see you too Edwards! They said in unison. They all go to join the group at the table. Owen stood up to welcome his old friends and introduce Lilly. When K.C. grabbed Lilly in a big hug apparently they'd had both went to the same high school after K.C. had left Degrassi. Milligan you have great girl! he said patting Owen on the back. I know, I'm really lucky. So, you and Jenna? Owen said flashing K.C. a smile. We're working out our past to see if we have a future. K.C. said while pulling out Jenna's chair for her. I think we just met too young. Jenna said. DiMarco you and Backwoods? Owen asked Johnny. Just friends! Alli and Johnny answered together. The waitress came and took everyone's orders while everyone chatted about their careers, families, and just catching up in general. Eli talked about his latest independent film, my job as a publisher, and our children Adam, Aubrey, and Ava. Imogen talked about her boutique and plans to open a second location, and her engagement to Jordan . Jenna her career in Nashville. Katie & Jake her job at the law firm, his at Martin and Martin and of course the upcoming birth of their son my nephew Matthew. Mo was the owner of a up and coming club while Marisol waited tables and bartends. Connor is working at NASA and so does his girlfriend Jessica. Johnny was teaching English literature to at risk children. Alli was working for top pharmaceutical company. K.C. had become a social worker. Owen and Lilly both teaching at Degrassi Owen history and P.E. as well as coaching multiple sports. Lilly art and drama. They talked mainly about their girls. Omg Alli and Jenna said looking at all the pics of the Milligan girls and of mine and Eli's family. Jenna then passed around a picture of her and K.C. at Tyson's (Doug's) graduation. I can't believe it I said as K.C. held Jenna's hand and they both exhaled sadly. Katie broke the silence asking Owen and Lilly if they knew the sex of their new baby. Yes, Lilly you never told me what you found out last week. I chimed in. I say it's another girl and Clare thinks you're finally getting your boy. Eli said. Owen smiled at Lilly and jokingly asked if anyone else wanted to place a bet on the gender of baby Milligan? Next thing I knew Alli was writing down the gender productions and collecting cash for a pool. Katie had Lilly stand up and compare the way they were both carrying. Eli pulled out a $50 and handed it Alli put all this on one blonde haired, blue eyed girl. I couldn't let Eli show me up so I pulled out a hundred and said just to prove Eli wrong all this on one healthy bouncing baby boy and handed it to Alli. Alli said all bets are final and counted up the cash. So, Milligan let's hear what it is. Mo said. We don't know the gender yet. Owen said while the table broke out in a loud boo, but he he said while shushing the table THEY ARE BOTH HEALTHY! BOTH… TWINS! Imogen shouted. Many congratulations followed! As lunch arrived we went over different events that would be held that evening and Sunday. Since I was in charge of this event and had been planning it for over six months I was able to break things down for my volunteers. Tonight should go smoothly I told the group. Our goal is to raise enough money through donations so Degrassi can keep extra curricular activities. We were are all pretty diverse our years at Degrassi so we should have everything covered. I looked at my list : news paper, school garden, sports, art, drama, music, power squad, and the gifted program. Did I leave anything out? I asked scanning the crowd. No one made a sound… good then!
