Chapter 2: New Addition

Truth really dawns on you and hits you hard. I was going to have a baby, and the war was raging on. I had to do something! None of my friends, family, or my friends' family is going to be sent to war. Yeah, I thought they were annoying and idiots most of the time, but they're my idiots!

"What's wrong" Dally asked me. We were in his room and sitting on his bed. He looked at me worriedly. I snorted and looked up at the ceiling. Dally got my attention again and asked me a second time.

"I'm carrying a baby with me. And I had to make a deal with the army. I told them that I'll go after I have the baby, but they can't send any of you guys and I gave them your names" I told him. Dally was in shock, either from the baby news, or the army news, or both.

"Okay, okay, do your brothers know where you are" he asked me. I rolled my eyes, of course they didn't. They were probably waiting for me to come home any minute. I got up and went to the bathroom and then came back.

"I wish I could have a smoke, but it'll harm the baby. Golly, I never thought being pregnant was this annoying" I said. Dally looked at me sympathetically. He then called my brothers, who came and got me.

"Dani" Soda yelled when he saw me. We all turned and shushed him. He shrunk back in silence. We went home, but not before Dally told me something.

"Dani, I want to tell you that I'll be with you forever and always. Especially throughout this pregnancy and birth. I want you to have this" he told me. He took out a chain and put it around my neck. It was a golden locket. I opened it and found engraved writing that said:

DW and DC forever

"Dally" I gasped. It was beautiful and I knew then that I was his one and only. Darry and Soda came up, mainly Soda, and looked at it.

Nine freakin' months later:

I was extremely big now and if anyone commented that I was fat, Two-Bit for example, I punched them in the face. I hobbled around the house in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Suddenly, I felt extreme pain.

"Two-Idiot! Get the bag and drive me to the hospital. Have Carhead junior over there call Dally" I yelled. Two-Bit and Steve got ready. Two-Bit helped me get in the car while Steve called Dally, and Soda on the cell phone.

"What about Darry carhead" I asked. Steve turned to me frustrated to me. He growled and I kicked his seat as best as I could.

"Soda's picking Darry up" he told me through gritted teeth. He hated my guts, but it really didn't matter to me. He was one of those boys who don't grow up, ever. We got to the hospital and Two-Bit and Steve got either the top end of me. They tried pulling me out, but they both pulled.

"OW! I don't want to be torn into pieces you idiots" I bellowed at them. They finally cooperated and went the same way. I was about ready to have the baby when Dally came racing in with the surgeon-like clothes on.

"Come on Dani, you can do it" he told me. I yelled at him until I heard a baby's cry and then collapsed on the bed. I had sweat pouring down my face. Dally picked up a wash cloth and wiped my face.

"Congratulations, it's a boy" the doctor said. Me and Dally looked at each other. We didn't want to know what the gender was until we had the baby. It was a boy and we knew exactly what we wanted to name him.

"I love you Ponyboy Michael Curtis" I said. We had chose to keep his last name like mine until I married Dally, if I did. After the nurse wrote Ponyboy's name down, Darry and Soda came in.

"Hey kid. How're you doing" Darry asked me. I smiled at him, which meant I was doing fine. Soda sat by me in a chair.

"So who's this" he asked. I laughed, Soda and Darry will think I'm weird. Then again, they always think that no matter what.

"This is Ponyboy Michael Curtis" I told him. Darry raised an eyebrow. Soda was too busy cooing over Ponyboy to pay attention. Darry also sat next to me in a chair. Dally had left to get undressed and get redressed in his clothes.

"Ponyboy Michael Curtis? You're continuing dad's tradition" he asked. I nodded. He probably wouldn't understand, but I wanted to try and see if I could get through to him.

"I met the alternate me from a different dimension, me and Dally. That's how we got the name. And if me and Dally get married, he'll be Ponyboy Michael Winston" I told him.

Please R&R! I tried to make it sound like something Dani would say.
