"Darry come on, we gotta get moving." Violet called from down the hall where she was getting Darrel dressed.

"Dada gets up!" Darry heard a small voice say, and he felt a tiny pair of hands on his arm, trying to move it from his face. He moved his arm to see his now three year old daughter Hailey sitting in front of him, her long blonde hair left down with a small head band on. Hailey smiled brightly at him and her eyes glowed and Darry grinned and pulled her into his arms and started to tickle her. Her giggles and squeals always made his day better, that and his beautiful wife's smile.

"Darrel Shayne Curtis, get out of that bed right now." Violet said and Darry got up, complying with his wife. He walked into the bathroom and went to shut the door when he heard a pair of feet padding along behind him. Sometimes he wished his daughter wasn't so clingy, but at the end of the day he really didn't mind.

"Hail, baby girl why don't you go wake up Uncle Pony and Auntie Lex?" He asked, bending down so he was at her level. Sometimes she was painfully shy and her parent's tried their best to get her away from being shy but it wasn't working.

"Okay…" She said softly and walked out of the room. Darry walked across the hall and started the shower, closing the door.

The door opened a few minutes later and he heard the toilet seat being picked up and he knew it was his little brother. Since his little brother and girlfriend were attending Oklahoma State and it was only a few minutes away from their house Lexi officially moved in with them. Once he heard the seat being placed back down and the door open and close Darry turned the shower off and wrapped a towel around his waist, walking back into his room and grabbed the clothes he had laid on his bed before his shower, a nice button up shirt and a pair of jeans.

The family was headed to their old neighborhood, for Dallas son's first birthday party. Unfortunately as his fiancée-Shay- got pregnant before she finished her university course she had to drop out to help raise their son. Darry had luckily found Dallas work at the company Darry now co-owned. Shay did work at the Cookie Jar with Violet until she went on maternity leave and after a long discussion with Dallas she decided to be a stay at home mom with their son.

Darry walked downstairs to where his wife of a year and a half was feeding their children. Violet looked up and smiled at him, yet felt a little upset that her husband was ashamed of the scars he obtained while saving his daughter. It was going to be well over eighty degrees and he was in a long sleeve blouse.

"Darry won't you be too hot in that?" She asked and Darry shrugged, going to get a cup of coffee. She just sighed and continued to feed their ever hungry son. Hailey worked on eating her cereal and Pony walked down the stairs in an Oklahoma State tee-shirt and a pair of track pants, followed by Lexi who was in a pair of jean shorts and one of Pony's tee-shirts from track. Everyone ate in silence mostly before they headed out to a house on the east side of Tulsa.

Pony and Lexi would take Darry's truck, and Darry took their new (to the family) 1959 Impala Hardtop. Once arriving at the small house that his friend now calls "home", music was playing loudly from the backyard and once they opened the gate and walked back, they saw some of the gang sitting around the fire pit that had a small fire going, even though it was only noon. There was a pile of presents and Darry recognized Shay's family around the backyard.

Shay was sitting in a lawn chair, their son Daniel in her lap, looking around at everyone with excited eyes. Dallas was over at the barbeque, and turned to the new comers to his son's birthday party.

"Hey guys! Presents go over by the cake and if you can find a seat, sit down. Burgers and hot dogs are cooking now." He said, and the family nodded.

Violet found a seat next to Evie, who was holding their six-month old daughter, Elizabeth. Evie was now out of her wheelchair, but she was using a cane to walk.

"Hello Evie," Violet said, smiling at the sleeping baby in her mother's arms. Evie smiled at Violet, noticing Darry talking to Two-bit.

"Hey Vi, how's everything going?" She asked and Violet smiled,

"They're… Going alright I suppose. Darry doesn't want to go to therapy anymore but I know that he doesn't talk to the therapist. He still… He still has nightmares about it." Evie nodded understandingly and looked up when Johnny came in, carrying his son in one arm and the other wrapped around his girlfriend and Violet's best friend, Tabitha.

Tabitha grinned and waved at Violet, as she was a bubbly and loud person. Since she was Mexican and Johnny spoke fluent Spanish, the two got along well. Tabitha helped to bring Johnny out of his shell and the gang was surprised to see he was almost as sarcastic and goofy as Two-bit.

"Violet! Hey!" Tabitha exclaimed, walking over and picking Hailey up from the chair, sitting her down on her lap. Violet grinned and hugged her friend from the side and when she pulled away she noticed a little sparkle coming from Tabitha's left hand.

"So…?" Violet asked grinning and Tabitha nodded, a huge grin eating at her features.

"Yes!" She exclaimed happily, taking the ring off so Violet could have a better look. "He asked me last night after Beckett went to bed and when we were sitting in front of the fire!" She said and Violet hugged her again. She could tell the ring meant a lot to Tabitha, and gave it back to her.

"It's gorgeous!" She said, before lowering her voice so no one would hear, "And the celebration?" She asked and she saw a blush cross her friends features,

"Legendary." Tabitha said giggling.

Once dinner was served and everyone had eaten, Shay began to walk around and thank people for coming. Their son Daniel had big grey eyes and blonde hair that he had gotten from his father.

For his first birthday Daniel got mostly clothes, some bibs and some toys from Shay's family.

Darry looked around and took in his surroundings; everyone from the gang safe and in love. Some with children and some trying for children. He smiled and took a sip of his Coca-Cola, thankful that everyone was safe and sound. His only wish now was that his demons would settle.
