The Years Just Fly By!

Year ONE!

Pony POV

Well it's been 3 months since I brought Lily home. Three months since Brittany was taken from this world. Lily is growing up so fast! I'm sitting with her right now, on the porch, watching the sunset. It seems to help her sleep more. Now she only wakes me up 2 or 3 times a night. It's still tiring but its an improvement none the less. Outside it was quiet, only the creak of the swing and the chirps of crickets can be heard. Inside it was a completely different story. The gang was usually quiet when I put Lily to sleep but until then they make sure they get all their yelling out...especially Soda and Two-Bit.

"TWO-BIT GIVE ME THAT PENNY! I FOUND IT!" I shook my head. Soda overreacted over the littlest things. I guarantee that it isn't even a real penny. I looked down at Lily. She was starting to fall asleep. I started rubbing her back, that always seemed to help her fall asleep.

Lily was a quiet baby, well she was with me. Everyone that watches her for me says ' she wouldn't stop crying!'or 'She has a loud voice' but I never heard any of it. I smiled at Lily. She was definitely a daddy's girl. I spent all my free time with her, Darry was even surprised when I turned down a night at the movies. He had said that I deserved a night of and that he'd watch her but I refused. I wanted to protect Lily, after all she was my last and the most precious gift Brittany had given to me.

I sat there, swing for about a half hour longer, until I was sure Lily was sound asleep. That was when I decided to return inside the house. I could still hear crashing and yells from inside. I slowly pushed the door open. Everyone stopped when I came in.

"Aw, now we got to be quiet!", Two-Bit moaned with a joking grin on his face. I rolled my eyes. I went into my and Lily's room and laid her down. I turned the baby monitor I had bought a month ago on, and took the other speaker thing out in the living room. I left the door open.

I flopped down on the couch and put the monitor on the table. I was really tired. I had exams this past week and spent all night every night studying. I was thanking god they were over and that it was Friday, which meant I could sleep in. I had to work tomorrow, cause I picked up more hours at the store. I was still assistant manager, I even got a raise. I was taking 200 dollars home a week. Each week I paid my car bill, put some in for house bills( of course against Darry's wishes), keep some for spending and the rest into a fund for Lily. So far Lily had 350 dollars in her account. I want her to have a good life.

Anyway, I rubbed my eyes tiredly. I was bored but I knew since it was only like 7pm I wouldn't fall asleep.

"Hey, you guys want to play some poker?", I was extremely bored, case I don't usually suggest playing unless I am.

Two-Bit, Steve and Soda said 'Yes', Darry said 'no' and went back to reading some book. I got the cards, and made Soda take his long sleeve shirt off, so he was only in his t-shirt.

"Why do I got to take my shirt off?" he looked at me weirdly.

I smiled, "cause then you can't cheat. I know you hide your cards up your sleeve." He didn't know that I knew of his secret 'hiding spot' and his jaw dropped.

"How the hell did you know that?"

"I'm not stupid Soda!", I was laughing softly. After a few more of Soda's questions, the game began. I was really good at poker. I won all the games. I got 25 dollars. Everyone looked shocked.

"What?", I asked.

"When did you get good at poker kid?", Two-Bit asked.

I shrugged, "when you started drinking." I smiled and he tried to looked hurt but failed miserably. At 10:30 I went to bed.

6 months Later

Lily is growing so fast! She's already 9 months old. She can sit up, crawl and is starting to walk a little she likes her walker a lot. Most of all she is starting to talk. She says, 'dada, soda, and Dar'

she can't pronounce Soda right so it sounds more like, 'suh-da' and when she says Dar it sounds more like 'da-errr' it's so cute! She's in her walker right now. I have the day off work. It's Monday our slow day anyway. Soda is getting off early today, at 1. He said he had a surprise for me. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I knew it had to do with my birthday. It's tomorrow. I'm going to be 17! I know Two-Bit, Steve and Darry are planning a party. They were talking about it the other night. They thought I was asleep. I went to get a drink and I stopped and eavesdropped. Matt and Kara are coming. A small get together. I think I'll bring Angela. We started hanging out. We are dating right now. But I still spend a lot of time with Lily. Angela loves Lily. That's what makes her so much more special. Of course she's not like Brittany but no one will be.

"DA-DA!"

I shook my head when I heard Lily. She was smiling at me. I smiled back. I went over and picked her up. I tossed her in the air and caught her. She loved it when I did that. She giggled.

"How about some food?"

"Fuuuuda"

I smiled again, "you are catching on real fast my girl. You'll be talking all the time."

She smiled again, I went into the house and sat her in her highchair. I gave her some bread and peas. I even put a little gravy on her chair. She loved food now that she could 'real' food. I sat there and watched her eat. When she was done, she was a mess. She had gravy in her blond, curly hair, bread was stuck to her hair as well. She had smushed peas all over her face. I laughed.

"Well I think it's time for a bath."

I went and gave her a bath.

the surprise I got from Soda was a cake..which he promptly smushed in my face. The party went great!

3 months Later- Birthday Party

Lily turned ONE! Today is her birthday. She is such a beautiful baby. I am having her party right now. The gang, Matt, Kara, Angela and some babies from the park she befriended are here. I'm so happy. Everything was going perfectly. Lily and her friends were on the ground playing with the toys she got as gift. Angela sat in my lap. I held her and looked around. Everyone was smiling. Everyone also had their girlfriends with them. They went like this:

Darry and Kate

Soda and Star

Steve and Evie

Two-Bit and Kathy

The other couples sat together as well. Before I knew it the party was over. I was cleaning up the living room when Lily cam up to me. She can walk now.

"Dada?"

"Yes, Sweetie?" I bent down so I could see her."

"I lobe you!" I smiled, she couldn't quite say everything but she tried.

"I love you to baby."

She smiled, "I lobe Angie"

I smiled wider. Lily had taken an instant liking to Angela. I was happy. I hoped to marry Angela some day, and then I could give Lily a mom. Though she has one. It isn't the same when she isn't here.

"I love Angela too."

I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up, "I love the both of you." It was Angela. I scooped up Lily ans Stood up. I pulled Angela to me and hugged her. Lily wrapped her tiny arms around us to. Then Soda came in after we separated.

He smiled, "well you two love birds. Can I take the birthday girl for a minute. I have an extra present for her." I nodded and gave him a questioning look. He only grinned and took Lily. She looked over Soda's Shoulder.

"Dada Come."

I smiled and nodded. I put my arm around Angela shoulder's and followed Soda. In the kitchen there was a huge chocolate cake. See Lily hasn't had chocolate yet. I'm guessing Soda thought it was about time she did. He put her in her high chair and placed a piece in front of her. She looked at it then to me. I smiled and nodded my approval. She stuck her hand in it and then in her mouth. She smiled and soon Chocolate was all over her. She'd never been so dirty.

I laughed, "well Soda."

"Yeah?"

"It was your idea...you get to clean her up!"

"Aww...man..okay!"

He picked up Lily. She laughed and put both of her chocolate covered hands on Soda's face. Me and Angela burst out laughing while Soda tried cleaning Lily and clean himself. When he finally decided he would just give her a bath I took Angela in my arms and kissed her. I kissed her for what seem like forever. We broke apart when we heard a little giggle. Lily stood in front of a grinning Soda.

"Dada an Angie KISS!"
