Forever Part 2
“Oh my God was that him?” Emma and Manny squealed as they rushed over to Liberty and JT as Jay and Sean followed behind them.
“Yes that’s our son.” Liberty said with a huge grin on her face. It felt so unreal that after all these years of wondering what he was like here he was.
“He’s so handsome.” Manny stated as she nudged JT.
“That’s why Aria said that her friends were in love with him already.” Emma laughed as she looked at Manny with a shrug.
“Did she really say that?” JT asked with a raise of his eyebrow.
“Please don’t encourage them,” Jay said as he reached the group.
Manny playfully slapped Jay and shushed him before turning around to see Christine Nelson approaching.
“Can you believe you’re alumni now? It feels like just yesterday you guys were helping me set up for the reunion.” Christine said as she approached the group and put both her arms around Emma and Manny. “Next your kids will be going here.” She said before looking at Liberty and JT, “I heard your son already is.” She smiled.
“Hello party people!” Peter said with excitement as he approached the group with Darcy by his side.
The tension grew as Sean made eye contact with Peter. Although they had spent years together because of Manny and Emma’s friendship with Darcy, Sean still did not like Peter. Emma grabbed Sean’s hand because she sensed his tension.
“Darc,” Manny started, “You just missed JT and Liberty’s son! His smile literally screamed James Tiberius Yorke.”
“Can’t wait to meet him!” She said with a smile. “Chantay texted me and said that her and Danny should be here any minute!” Darcy exclaimed.

“Excuse me?” Amelia Farrell quietly approached her very handsome tour guide.
Alex turned around to see the beautiful blonde girl smiling up at him. He felt himself getting nervous. It was only his first week of school at Degrassi and he did not have many answers to any of the niners' questions.
“Are we going to get a break during the tour? My mom keeps texting me that her and my aunt are here and they want to see me.” She said kind of embarrassed as she noticed his smile growing.
“Yeah I think we only have about five more minutes and then you can see your family.” He said with a smile, but then noticed she seemed to be embarrassed. “I was just talking to my parents before I started this tour. They want to introduce me to everyone they’ve ever met.” He said with a light laugh to make her feel better.
“Great, thanks!” She said with a bright smile as she pushed a piece of blonde hair behind her ear.
The group continued to go on their tour as Alexander tried to bring all of their questions Jack. He really barely knew where his own classes were at this point. He walked past a group of girls and heard some giggles. He looked and noticed the blonde from earlier was being stared at by the rest of the girls. He smiled slightly before continuing on.
“He is so cute,” Everly Rivera whispered to Amelia. “I can’t believe you actually spoke to him. What did he say?” She asked as Mackenzie and Makayla Thomas huddled around them.
“He just answered my question. It wasn’t a big deal.” She answered nonchalantly.
“Well we definitely have two of the cutest tour guides. Future president over there is adorable too.” Mackenzie said as she motioned towards Jack.
“We’ve met him once at one of our parents parties, but I don’t remember him looking that good.” Makayla said with a grin.
“That is the end of our tour and I hope we answered all of your questions! Please feel free to continue looking around on your own and try and speak to some of our Alumni! They can tell you everything you need to know about our wonderful school.” Jack announced to the group before he pulled Alexander away to go meet up with his friends.
“Thanks for the help, man. I want to introduce you to my VP, Danny. I think you’ll like him.” Jack whispered to Alex as they were heading out the door.

“Fiona Coyne?” Arianna Dexter shrieked with excitement as she rushed over to her. “I am your biggest fan.” She tugged on the dress she was wearing with a gigantic grin, “I’m wearing one of your designs!!!” She couldn’t even contain her excitement. Her favorite designer was standing in front of her and all she could think about was how she wanted to interview her for the Degrassi Daily.
“Oh it looks lovely on you,” Imogen commented with a smile.
“She’s right you look amazing in it! Love the jewelry you paired it with.” Fiona said with a friendly smile as she reached for Imogen’s hand.
“You are both the sweetest.” Arianna said with an excited smile. “Would you mind if I interviewed you both for the Degrassi Daily? We were hoping to run an article on successful alumni for the final issue.” She asked eagerly.
“Look at that, we're successful,” Fiona said with a giggle to Imogen. There was a time when she wasn’t sure she would ever get her life in order. “We would love to! Thank you for considering us.” She answered Arianna with a genuine smile.
“Great!!!” Arianna said enthusiastically as she ran off to her friends.
Fiona and Imogen stood in the hallway of Degrassi and looked around for a moment. It feels like no time has passed since they were working on carnivals and helping Eli with his plays. They were both lost in thought when they heard a familiar voice.
“Look at this picture your mom sent us,” Holly J was waving her phone in Fiona and Imogen’s face. “Aren’t the kids so cute.”
“The cutest.” Imogen said as she looked at their children playing with their cousins.
Fiona took out her phone and noted that she didn’t receive a text message, “How come I didn’t get any pictures?” She raised an eyebrow.
“Oh well I might’ve called her a few times to check on the kids, but it’s just that they were really sad when we left them.” Holly J noted.
“The kids are fine, babe. We won’t even be gone that long. We’ll see them in a few hours.” Declan said as he joined the group. He looked at Fiona who was trying to hide her smile.
“I know.” She said as she placed her phone back in her purse. “I just worry sometimes.” She shrugged and then looked back at Fiona. “Drew and Bianca were looking for you. He said that Adam and Becky were gonna be here any minute and they wanted to have a Vegas reunion.” She said with a small shrug.
“Oh great! We’ll be right back.” Fiona said excitedly. “Also if you see Eli and Clare can you tell them we were looking for them? Thanks!” She leaned in and hugged her sister-in-law, and best friend, before running off with Imogen to find their friends.
