A/N: This is a fanfiction where Johnny and Dally survived! I'm sorry, I love them too much to write that they died…

It was about 2 AM and the whole gang was sleeping at our house.

Dally and Johnny finally got out of the hospital and were on the verge of full recovery.

Everything finally was starting to get back to normal.

For some reason, I couldn't sleep tonight so I just lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling

Then I heard a knocking at the door.

'Who the heck is at the door at 2AM?' I thought to myself but answered the door anyway because I was the only one awake.

I opened the door and saw no one, but what I did see was a small basket with a pink blanket inside sitting on the porch.

I knelt down next to the little basket and removed the blanket.

I saw a small baby, about 4 months old, sleeping peacefully.

There was a note hanging from the basket. The note said:

Dear Curtis family,
Please take good care of my sweet baby girl, Lauren. I have recently read about you in the paper. You and your friends seem like the only decent people in this town, risking your own lives to save each other and Darryl Curtis, fighting to keep your family together. I am classified as a "soc" but please believe me, I hate them; always getting into fights and getting drunk and believing they would be able to get away with it. Since I've told them what I think of them multiple times before I was pregnant, they are threatening to kill Lauren and I know they would if I didn't do this. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do but I have no family and I just couldn't put her in an orphanage. I want her to grow up with a family that would love her and I know you all would. Even though I hate it, I am a Soc and have left you $20,000 at the bottom of the basket to take care of all of her needs. I will send you money every year to put towards a college fund for her. I also left a copy of her birth certificate and adoption papers with my signature on them for when you want to become her legal guardian. I have to leave or they will kill me as well. I can't take her with me because of the risk of someone finding us. I'm sorry for doing this to you but I know you will always love her.

There was no signature at the bottom, not that I really expected to see one there.
"…oh boy" I said a more than a little shocked.

I brought the baby inside and placed her basket on the chair carefully, not wanting to disturb her slumber.

I woke up everyone that was asleep in the living room then called Pony and Soda to come out of their room.

Once they were all up Soda mumbled tiredly "what's up Darry?"

I guess they were all still half asleep because none of them noticed Lauren.

"Umm I know this is gonna sound crazy but someone left a baby at our door." I said pointing to the basket.

Each of them, fully awake now, were staring with wide eyes at the basket, then to me, then at the basket again.

Soda was the first one to break out of his stupor.

A big smile inched it's way across his face as he ran over to Lauren.

I read the letter aloud to the gang.

Two-Bit whistled lowly. "That sure is a hell of a lot of money, Darry" He said.

Soda just continued smiling and looking down at the little girl, oblivious to everything else. "Lauren, I like that" he said excitedly.

The baby finally woke up and looked around the room.

I picked her up and gave her to Soda and removed the things at the bottom of the basket.

Lauren looked up at Soda and smiled.

Soda smiled down at her and said "I think she likes me."

"Of course she does" Steve said "She's a girl ain't she?"

We all laughed and Soda said "Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful" then he handed Lauren to Ponyboy and tackled Steve to the ground.

Pony had never held a baby before and looked a little nervous, making sure to hold her head.

She started wiggling and Pony quickly handed her to Johnny.

Lauren was quickly passed around the room by a bunch of awkward teenage boys that didn't know or didn't want to hold her. (Minus Two-Bit who knew how to handle the baby because of his little sister) and then was passed back to me.

She was a very beautiful baby I noticed and after a few minutes of holding her she snuggled into my chest and fell back asleep in my arms.

So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Please review but don't tell me if you hated it, just don't read the next chapter!
