Chester and Manny are cuddling in bed together at their rental
Chester: I don't know what I'm going to do when my Dad goes, he's always been there for me. I always pictured him being at my wedding
Manny runs her hand down Chester's arm
Manny: I know honey, It breaks my heart seeing you hurt like this
Chester: He's always been my number 1 best friend even when we went those long times without talking, I knew I could always count on him for anything I needed
Chester gets out of bed and goes to look out the window as he holds back tears
Manny: Baby-
Chester: I don't want him to go Manny. I want him to be around to see our kids, watch them grow up
Manny gets up and stands behind Chester as she places her arms around his torso and kisses his shoulder
Manny (softly): I know baby. I know.
Chester turns around and looks in Manny's eyes
Chester: I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it is having you here with me, by my side through this baby. It means so much to me. Thank you, Manny. I don't know what I'd do without you
Manny raps her arms around him as she looks up at him
Manny (softly): Nowhere else I'd rather be then when my fiancé needs me the most
Chester takes Manny by the hands
Manny: Listen, I want to run an idea by you.
Chester: Ok?
Manny: We know Dad doesn't have much longer, and I know how much it'd mean to you If he was at our wedding next year.
Chester: Yea?
Manny: What about if we eloped, here so Dad can be here to watch you get married to the girl of your dreams.
Manny says with a smirk
Chester: you don't have a dress or anything babe and what about a tux for me?
Manny: As long as I get to marry you, and your dad can be there to witness it, that's all I truly care about. I want you to have your dream wedding too and yours means that your dad is there with you on our special day
Chester pulls away
Manny: Babe, I know how much you want your dad to be here to see you get married
Chester walks over to the bed and sits down
Chester: What about your dream wedding?
Manny: We'll still have it, you promised me a fairytale wedding and I know you won't go back on that promise
Manny walks over to Chester
Chester (smiles): Let's do it.
Chester picks Manny up and twirls her in his arms
Chester: I love you, so much, you have no idea how much this means to me
Manny: we'll have to get rings., and whose going to marry us?
Chester: My Brothers owe me, I'll make one of them get ordained
Manny: I'm happy we're going to do this.
Chester: We'll figure out all the details baby.
Manny walks over to the window and checks out the view from their bedroom window
Manny: I need to call Emma
Chester: What for, baby?
Chester said as he kisses Manny's neck from behind
Manny: Baby, what are you doing?
Chester: What? I can't love on my beautiful-
Chester said as he runs his hand down the side of Manny's body
Chester: Sexy-
Manny (giggles): Baby!
Chester: What? You're gorgeous and I want you
Chester turns Manny around and begins kissing Manny's Breasts and playfully undresses her shirt as he gently places her on the bed
Manny: Well, hello there, handsome
Chester (smiles): Hi beautiful
Chester makes love to Manny in their bed before Manny falls asleep in Chester's arms smiling. In Middle of the night, Manny begins stirring in bed
Chester: Baby, wake up.
Chester said as he nudges Manny to get her to wake up. She groans
Manny (groans): What?
Chester: Your tossing and turning, what's wrong?
Manny: I don't feel well
Chester places his hand on Manny's arm
Chester: What's wrong?
Manny: I started cramping and my stomach is bothering me, and I feel nauseous
Manny gets up and runs into the bathroom
Chester (from the doorway): Babe? What's going on?
Manny: I- I don't feel good
Chester: It'll be ok.
Chester hears Manny crying through the Bathroom door. A little while later Chester hears the toilet flush; Manny comes out of the bathroom with tears sliding down her face
Chester: Babe, what's wrong
Manny: The baby's gone, it's over
Manny falls into Chester's arms sobbing
Chester: I'm sorry honey. I promise we'll try again
Manny: It's not fair. To love someone so much without even getting to meet them, and their just taken away in a blink of an eye.
Chester rubs Manny's back as she cries into his shoulder
Chester: I love you, with all my heart baby. I promise we will have kids one day. I don't care how, or when but we will.
Manny: It's not fair, Chester
Chester: I know, sweetie. I know.
Manny: What did we do to deserve this?
Chester: It's just how the world works baby. It's nothing we did or didn't do
Manny looks up at Chester with her eyes puffy and full of tears
Chester: You still look beautiful
Chester sweeps Manny's hair away from her eyes and gently kisses her forehead
Manny: I love you
Chester: I love you more princess, I promise you, we will get through this, and we will have kids.
Manny buries her head in Chester's chest
Manny: I never thought in a million years, I'd ever have to go through this feeling
Chester: It's ok, babygirl. I got you.
Manny: Thank you baby.
Chester: Always
Chester gracefully lifts Manny's head by her chin and softly kisses her
Manny: No matter what life throws at us, I'll always remember, here in your arms is where I feel the safest
Manny wraps her arms around Chester as he smiles
Chester: Manny, I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you. You are way too important to me
Manny (sniffles): I know
Chester: I've never loved someone as much I do you. I've never felt like this before, with anyone
Manny buries herself in Chester's arms while Chester runs his fingers through her hair as she tries to calm down
Manny: I just want to stay here and never let go
Chester smiles
Chester: I'm not going anywhere, Manny. I promise.
Manny: Thank you for being my rock. I don't know what I'd do without you
Chester: Always, Manny. I'll always be here for you honey.
Manny: losing this baby, feels like a bad dream I can't wake up from
Chester kisses Manny's forehead
Chester (softly): I know love, I know.
Manny: I'm so incredibly thankful for you, babe
Chester (softly): I am too baby.
Chester looks into Manny's eyes as he gently sweeps her hair back
Chester: Come on babygirl, let's get you back to bed
Chester takes Manny to bed as he climbs into bed next to her, she wraps her arms around his waist as she snuggles into him as they fall asleep in each other's arms
Next morning Chester starts to wake up as Manny's still sleeping in his arms. He texts his mom to see how his dad is doing and tell her the good news, a short time later, he feels Manny stirring in bed, he leans over and kisses her forehead
Manny (groans): Morning, baby
Chester (smiles): Hi beautiful. Are you feeling better?
Manny: Yea, I slept better after I fell back asleep
Chester: Well good I'm happy to hear that baby.
Chester passionately kisses Manny
Manny: Mmm I love when you kiss me like that
Chester (smiles): Oh, really now?
Manny nods yes as she bites her lower lip
Manny: Mhm
Chester (softly chuckles): Well then
Chester leans in and passionately kisses Manny again
Chester: Come on babe, let's go see dad and tell him the news
Manny: I need to call Emma too.
Chester: Took care of that already for you, sweetie
Manny: You did?
Chester: One less thing you have to worry about .
Manny: I swear you are full of surprises
Chester: Manny, I love you, there's nothing in this world that would stop me from making you smile
Manny: I know.
Chester: I called Emma, cause I figured you would still be upset after last night
Manny: I was, but I'll be ok
Chester pulls Manny in close to him and kisses her on the top of her head
Chester: I know you will Princess
Manny smiles as they leave to go see his family
Manny: I love you, you know that?
Chester (Smiles): I love you too babygirl
A few minutes later, they arrive at Chester's parent's house
Mom: Hey guys
Chester's mom gives Chester and Manny a hug
Chester: Hey mom. Where's dad?
Mom: He's in the bedroom, he'll be happy to see you guys.
Chester: You didn't tell him the news, did you?
Mom: No, I figured you two would want to share the happy news
Manny looks at Chester and smiles as he squeezes her hand
Manny: I can't wait
Chester and Manny go to the bedroom, where they see his dad sleeping in his bed. They sit by his bedside as Chester holds Manny's hand with one hand and holds his dad's hand
Chester (softly): Hey Dad, Manny and I have some news we want to share with you, but we need you to wake up, cause I need you here for this dad. Squeeze my hand if you can hear me
Chester's dad squeezes his hand, Chester smiles big at Manny
Manny (softly): Chester and I were talking, and we decided we want to elope, here
Chester: I don't want to get married to Manny without my best friend here to witness it
Chester's eyes begin to fill with tears as Chuck walks in and places his hand on Chester's shoulder
Chuck (softly): Hey dad
Chester (to Chuck): Manny and I have decided to elope, here. I want dad here for this, Chuck
Chuck: I know buddy. He can hear you, he's just tired
Chester: I need him to be here, I need him to watch me marry the girl of my dreams
Chuck places his hand on Chester's shoulder
Chuck: He's still here bud, he's just sleeping.
Manny: Chuck's right, babe. Your dad will still get to see us get married, even if he is sleeping.
Chester wipes a tear away from his eye
Chester (softly): I love you, so much dad. I'm sorry we lost touch for so long
Mom: Honey, It's not your fault. Life happens and sometimes people drift apart
Chuck: Come on buddy, I'm going to take you into town and take you shopping for your wedding here.
Chester: We still don't have anyone to marry us
Chuck: I'll get ordained online, and I'll marry you and Manny
Manny: We were kind of hoping you would, Chuck
Chuck smiles
Chester: Thanks Chuck.
Manny: Go on babe, go shopping with your brother
Chester kisses Manny's forehead
Chester: I love you, beautiful
Manny: I love you too baby.
Chester and Chuck leave. A short time later, Manny hears a knock on the front door. She gets up and answers it to see Emma and Sean in the doorway
Emma: Uh did you really think you were going to elope without me?
Emma laughs as Manny gives her a hug
Manny: Come on in you guys
Sean and Emma walk in Chester's parent's house
Emma: How's he doing? His dad?
Manny: Not good. He's been sleeping all day, since we got here today
Chester's mom walks in the front room
Manny: Mom, you remember Emma from high school, don't you?
Emma: Hi Mrs. Johnson
Mom: Emma! So good to see you again
Emma gives Chester's mom a hug
Emma: Mrs. Johnson, this is my husband, Sean
Mom: Hello! Nice to meet you, Sean
Sean: Hi there
Manny: Chester and Chuck are out shopping for the elopement, I need a dress still and a ring for Chester
Emma: It's a good thing I'm here
Manny smiles as she and Emma laugh
Emma: Come on we got to get us both a dress and a ring for your wedding
Manny, Emma and Sean leave to go shopping. They find a shop in town to go to and get their dresses from.
Manny: What do you think Emma?
Manny finds a white sundress and holds it up for Emma to see
Emma: I like it! It's cute!
Emma finds a cute red dress and holds it up to show Manny
Emma: Whatcha think?
Manny: I like it!
Sean: You look beautiful, baby
Emma smiles as she winks at Sean
Manny: Uh, what about me?
Sean laughs
Sean: Don't worry, you look fine too
Manny: Thank you
Sean looks over at Emma and notices she stumbles
Sean: Babe?
Emma: What honey?
Sean: Are you ok?
Emma: Yea, I'm fine Sean. I'm just a little lightheaded, I guess
Manny: Did you eat anything?
Emma: I had a bagel for breakfast, that's about it
Manny: I'm going to hurt you!
Emma: We can stop on the way back to Chester's parent's house
Sean: Babe, you know we could've stopped on the way out here and got something to eat
Emma: I'm just a little lightheaded, Sean. I'm ok. Let's just finish shopping for the Manny's elopement.
Sean wraps his arm in Emma's as they walk with Manny to the jewelry store in the strip mall
Clerk: How can I help you folks today?
Manny: My Fiancé and I are eloping and I need to get a wedding band for him
Clerk: Well congratulations first off, second, follow me to our selection of men's wedding bands
They follow the salesclerk to a selection of wedding bands
Clerk: Here we have a nice satin edge band in black
Emma: I like it, but I don't think it's Chester's taste.
Sean: What about this one, Manny?
Manny and the clerk walk over to Sean, the clerk pulls the ring out of the case
Clerk: This one is a comfort fit titanium band
Manny: I'll take this one here.
The clerk smiles as she takes the ring to be boxed up and cash Manny out.
Clerk: There you go, you're all set. Congratulations
The clerk hands Manny the bag
Manny: Thank you, so much
They leave the store and head back to Chester's Parent's house
Emma: Well, we got all of your stuff done. Hopefully, Chester's getting the last of what he needs, done
Manny: Yea, no kidding. I know it's killing him seeing his dad like this, he wants his dad to be at our wedding next year so bad, It breaks my heart knowing that he won't be there.
Sean: Well, technically he'll be there in spirit.
Emma: Yea, this is true
Manny: I just hope his dad will be awake for our elopement. That will be mean so much to Chester.
Emma: How long does he have?
Manny: His mom told Chester, it's up to his dad on when he decides to go, but I think maybe he's got a few days, maybe a week or 2 at most
Sean: Damn
Emma: How long has the cancer been back?
Manny: Over a year, and he just found out.
Sean: Oh, I bet he was mad
Manny: Oh, he flipped. I never seen him that mad
Emma: I can imagine.
Manny: It breaks my heart for him, knowing there's nothing we can do to help but just be there for him, and be by his dad's side
Sean: It's tough, I can only imagine how hard this is on him.
Emma: It was tough when Snake had his cancer when we were in high school, but thankfully he had a good prognosis from the beginning
Sean: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when Spike was dealing with his cancer
Emma places her hand on Sean's lap
Emma: I have you now, and that's all that matters
Manny: Wasn't that when Liberty had her crush on you, Sean? When Snake had his cancer?
Sean: Really Manny? Did you have to remind me of that?
They laugh
Emma: Yea, it was. Because JT told her she needed to move on, she moved onto Sean
Sean rolls his eyes
Sean: Then, I got her and Towerz together and she left me alone then
Manny: Oh, the memories
Emma laughs
Manny: Yea, then I met Jay, Thanks Sean
Sean: Not my fault.
Manny: It is to your fault, If you wouldn't have been hanging out with him, I wouldn't have met him!
Emma: Let's not forget, my biggest dating mistake, Peter
Sean: That little bitch who planted weed in my locker and got me kicked out of Degrassi?!
Emma: Hey, I dumped him after I found out it was him!
Sean laughs
Sean: Then I left for the Army and my dumb ass decided my plans didn't include you, back then.
Emma: But you learned though.
Sean: I'm never letting you go again
Manny: We all had some memories in High school
Emma: Who would've thought I'd go back as a teacher there?
Sean: Or I would own Tony's shop
Manny: Or that I'd be marrying Chester
Emma: I always thought you and Jay would get married.
Manny: Nope, after the last time, I was done and I meant it. I haven't spoken to him in 4 years
Sean: Actually, I have a confession
Manny: What did you do?
Sean: Jay, actually called me a couple months ago, looking for you
Manny: I'm sorry, what?!
Emma: Uh why didn't you tell me this?
Sean: Because I know you hate him, and with you being pregnant and your hormones being all over, I thought I'd save the potential blow up
Emma: Yea, you got a good point, babe.
Manny: Why did he call you looking for me?
Sean: Well for one, he knew if he called Emma for you, he would've gotten hung up on
Manny: Yea, this is true
Sean: He called me to see how you are and to tell me he misses you
Manny: Well, that's unfortunate for him
Emma: What did you tell him?
Sean: I told him she's moved on and she's happily engaged to someone who treats her better than his stupid ass did
Manny: I apricate it Sean
Sean: He's a moron
Emma: Remind me again, why you were friends with him babe?
Sean: I thought I was a bad ass then
Sean laughs as they pull up to Chester's parent's house. Chester and Chuck are sitting in the kitchen
Chester: There's my girl
Chester said as he kisses Manny
Manny (smiles): Hi baby
Chester: I have good news
Manny: What's that?
Chester: Chuck's officially ordained, so we're all set for tomorrow.
Manny smiles as Chester pulls her in his arms
Manny: That makes me happy, I can't wait to be yours, forever
Chester: Me too, baby.
