Chapter Seven:
Dally's POV:
The next morning was great. Cherry and I showered and then we got Little Johnny out of bed. We fed him breakfast like we always did and Ponyboy came out, still in his night clothes. " Hey, everyone!" he said, looking at Cherry and I. Darry was still asleep. " Good morning, ponyboy," I said. " I'll make breakfast if you'd like." He shook his head. " No, no, that's okay, i'll make it." I think ponyboy was just so exhausted from the party we had the night before. The living room was still a mess of empty beer cans, popcorn, cigarette butts, and playing cards. Two Bit and Steve had gone home drunk and thankfully they walked home instead of driving home.
Darry got up and looked around the cluttered living room. " Man, just what I need in the morning!" he said. Ponyboy picked up Little Johnny and he started to giggle. " How's my little nephew doing?" he asked. I laughed. It was funny that Little Johnny called Ponyboy Uncle Pony and Ponyboy called Little Johnny his nephew even though they weren't related. Like I said before, though, ponyboy were as close as brothers, anyway. " Ho's my little nephew doing?" Ponyboy asked again. Little Johnny reached out his arms and said, " I love... Uncle Pony!" " Aww!" I said. " He loves his Uncle!" Ponyboy picked him up and held him. " He is a cute little thing!" Ponyboy said, smiling. " I hope I get to have one someday." Cherry nodded. " Don't worry, Ponyboy, you will."
After breakfast, we all went to the hospital to pick up Soda. He was all set to go and everything, so we went in the room to see him. He looked much better now, he only had a few cuts and bruises, but they were minor and he was fine otherwise. " Hi, guys!" he said happily. " Man, am I glad to see you!" Ponyboy and Darry hugged him as he got up from his chair. The doctor came in a few minutes later. Darry had to sign a couple of papers and then we were free to go. I saw Dr. Morrison in the hall, so I went up to say hi to him and everything. After that, we left.
Soda was doing fine now. He had to walk on crutches, but he didn't seem to mind that. He would be completely recovered in a few weeks. We stopped by the drugstore on the way home and we bought ourselves a few things. Cherry bought something, but she wouldn't show me what it was. I was pretty curious to see what she had.
At about nine o' clock that night, we were all sitting around the living room when Cherry made me follow her into the bathroom. " What is it?" I asked her as we entered the bathroom. Since the bathroom was in the bedroom, she had closed both the bedroom and bathroom doors so the others wouldn't know what we were doing. " Look!" she said, holding up a box. I looked at the box. It was a pregnancy test. " Oh, honey!" I said, happily. That was what she had bought at the drugstore.
I left her to do the test and when she was done, she called me in with her. The test was sitting on the sink, faced down. " Okay," I said. " You want to look at it?" she sighed, smiling. " Yeah," she said. " But in a way, I'm sort of nervous." " You don't have to be," I said. " Just think, if you are pregnant, that's the greatest thing since we have the joy of being with Little Johnny and if you aren't, we can try again." he smiled and then she gave me a real big hug, thanking me for making her feel great.
" Okay," she said, picking up the test. " Let' see."
