Chapter One: A new mother
It’s the morning of Wednesday, February 15, 2006 and Emma, Sara and Jason have been home now for five days. Emma has been up for the past two hours feeding, burping, changes diaper and getting her son and daughter dress. Emma has got Sara and Jason to go back to sleep and is now getting dress for school, when Manny alarm clock start buzzes, which cases both babies to wake up and Start fuss really loud. Emma walks over to her son and daughter and starts singing to them. Manny set up in bed and hits the off button on her alarm clock, after she has turns off her alarm clock. She pulls her cover back up and lay her head back down on her pillow, hoping that by getting back under the cover she would stop shivering, but it does not work. Sara and Jason have gone back to sleep so Emma goes into the bathroom and starts to brush her tooth. Manny set back up in bed, but pulls her bedspread up with her. She looks at her clock to see what time it’s. At the sometime Sara starts fuss again and Emma can tell by the sound that she also kicking her feet on the bassinet. Emma takes the toothbrush out off her mouth.
Emma: Manny can you see what Sara needs?
Manny: She did a smelling one in her diaper.
Emma: Not again, can you change Sara, so I can finish getting ready for school?
Manny: (Clear her throat) I don’t think I should Em, I feel Fluish.
Emma: Fine, But you still need to get up and get ready for school.
Manny: Who made you mine, Coughs, mom, I can stay home sick If I need to?
Emma: No, you can’t, you used all your excuse absents Manny!
Emma walks out of the bathroom and goes over to her daughter and changes her diaper for the fourth times that morning. She then thinks about what infant formula she been feeding her daughter and realizes she has forgot to make Sara lactates free formula and been feeding her the regular infant formula that Jason gets. Once Sara diaper is change, she finishes get ready for school and then packs the diaper bag. By now Manny has got out of bed and was pulling on a pair of jeans. Emma looks over at Manny and sees she look flush and is shivering. Emma close the diaper bag and puts it onto her shoulder, she then grabs her book bag. Emma walks over to her son and daughter pick both of them up.
Emma: I will see you at school Manny, I have to drop Sara and Jason off at their great Grandma Nelson houses.
Manny: Ah-Choo, All right, I will see you at school too Em.
Emma walks upstairs then out the front door. Manny grabs a tissue from the tissue box on her night stand and blows her nose. She pulls on a gray t-shirt and then put on a black jacket. She set down on her bed for a few minutes and close her eyes, because her head is thumping. After a few minutes she gets up and goes into the bathroom. She gets out her toothbrush and brushes her tooth and then combs her hair. While in the bathroom she takes the thermometer out of the medicine cabinet. She puts the thermometer into her mouth and waits for it to beep. As she is taking her temperature, she hears Spike walking up to the basement door and then hear her open the door.
Spike: ( The thermometer Starts beeping) Manny, get a move on or you are going to be late school, if you do not leave soon.
Manny: (Takes the thermometer out of her mouth.) I will be upstairs in a minute Spike!
Spike: Ok
Manny looks at the thermometer and sees that she has a fever of 39.2 C (102.6 F). Great no wonder way I feel fluish. She clean the thermometer and puts it away, then leaves the bathroom and picks her book bag up. She grabs the box of tissue off of her night stand and puts them into her book bag. Manny looks at the clock and sees that she has three minutes to get to school and to English class. She runs up the stairs and out the front door and runs the whole way to Degrassi. Meanwhile Emma is showing the class pictures of Sara and Jason. Liberty and JT walk into the classroom and take two of the three empty seat next to Spinner, Sean, Emma and Jay. Emma looks over at Liberty and see JT is rubbing her back.
Emma: How are you holding up Liberty, you are due in a week and half right?
Liberty: I am doing ok, but my back is killing me.
The bell rings and at the sometime Manny comes running into the classroom and slides into the last free seat in the back row by the door. Emma looks over at her best friend and sees she is hold her chest and can also hear that Manny is gasp for breath.
Emma: Manny did you run all the way to school?
Manny: Yes, coughs
Jay: Manny, you do not sound good are you sure that you should be in school?
Manny: (Clear her throat.) I can’t miss any more days. Jay, Sean has either of you seen Towerz the last few days?
Sean: He at home sleeping.
Manny: Why is he sick?
Jay: Yeah he has a really bad flu bug.
Emma: Manny did you and Craig ended up break up last night after you finally tell him about what happened with you and Towerz?
Manny: No, he understands that I was really drunk and did not know what I was doing. We are still together.
Sean: I tell you he would understand!
Mrs. Kawn: All right class I want everyone to take out their creative write journals. I want you to spent the hour write a new story, prom or song.
The whole class gets out their journals and starts write in them. Emma’s starts write about what it like to be a new teenage mom. The last ten days have change my life forever, because I become a mom to Sara and Jason. It has not been easy at all. In fact it has been very hard. I no long get a full night sleep and my son and daughter dependent on me to do everything for them.
Meanwhile, Manny looks down at her journal and can’t think about anything to write. So she starts write about how awful she is feeling. When I got up this morning, I felt fluish and as today goes on, I am starting to feel worst. I have a sore throat, swell lymph-nods, headache and ache all over. Before leave for school I take my temperature and I have a fever of 39.2 C (102.6 F). I know I should have stay home in bed, because I know that I’m too sick to be at school and should stay home to rest. The only reason I am here is because I can miss any more days of school. At the end of the hour Manny grabs her book bag and hand right to her next class. She takes a set and lays her head down on her desk. Emma walks into the classroom and sets down next to Manny.
