Chapter Nine: (Nick POV)
We got dressed, and went to the doctor. Johnny told me he'd stick with me no matter what. I was grateful.
The doctor told me to come back in a few weeks and that it was too soon to tell. He told me to stay away from alcohol and drugs just in case, which wasn't a problem 'cause I didn't do them anyways.
We went home, and nervously waited out the next three weeks.
Today was the day. I had to go to the doctor. Johnny offered to go with me, and I gratefully accepted. I was scared outta my mind.
We got to the doctors, and I took a test. The doctor made us wait outside in the waiting room. We were the only ones there.
We were both nervous, and he took my hand. That helped a little.
The doctor came out. "Nicole?" I nodded.
"The test results are in," he said. Johnny squeezed my hand. "And they are positive. You are pregnant," and with that, he left.
Johnny looked at me. He was scared, and a little bit…happy?
"Johnny?"
"Nicole, I think we should keep this baby. I wanna have a family…with you. I-I mean, if you want. I-if you don't think it's a good idea, I mean, I--"
I cut him off by putting my lips to his. "I want to keep it, too." He grinned at me.
"Are we gonna tell the gang? How 'bout your family?"
"Yeah, but not now, okay Johnnycake?"
"Okay, Nicky," he said.
The weeks passed and I started to show. I borrowed some of Darry's shirts to cover up my growing belly. Nobody noticed, and if they did, they didn't say anything.
We told my mom and brother first. My mom was real angry. My brother wanted to strangle Johnny. I told them it was all okay, that we had it worked out.
We were gonna tell the gang, but I could tell Johnny was nervous. He didn't want Dallas, his hero, to disapprove. He worshiped the guy, but we all knew Dally was never okay with me and Johnny's relationship. Even the rest of the gang saw that.
"Let's wait to tell them," Johnny suggested. I reluctantly agreed. They were going to have to find out sooner or later.
Every night, he would come and spend the night in my room. We never did anything, of course, we just lay together. He would always hold me in his arms, careful with my fragile stomach. I could tell he really cared about me and our baby.
I was four months pregnant. It was obvious. We had to tell the gang soon. But I wanted to talk to Johnny about baby names first.
"How about…um…." I couldn't think of any.
"Okay what do you think for a boy?" he asked me.
"Uh, James? Mark? Johnny Jr.?" I said with a grin.
"No way," he told me. "It has to be original. How 'bout if it's a girl?"
"Mary? Faith?" I couldn't think of any.
"Gabrielle?" he suggested. That was a pretty name.
Just then Steve barged in. "Johnny, Dally wants to talk to you. He looks real mad."
Johnny gulped. "Come on," he told me. We followed Steve out of the room.
We went into the living room, and the whole gang was there.
"Somethin' you wanna tell us, Johnny?" Dallas asked.
"W-what do ya mean, Dally?"
"Don't play dumb with me," he ordered.
"I'm pregnant," I cut in. Everyone looked at me.
"You little bitch," Dallas said. He stepped forward. "You just ruined his life. You think he wants to be stuck takin' care of you and your little devil child? I don't think so. Why'd you have to take Johnny's innocence away anyway? Such a slut." He took another step forward. Johnny stepped in front of me.
"Leave her alone, Dal," Johnny said.
Dallas looked like he was about to say something, and stormed out. The gang looked at us. Then Sodapop cracked a smile.
"Congratulations, you two!" he said with a grin. He patted Johnny on the back and gave me a hug. There was a chorus of "congratulations" and pats on the back for Johnny, and hugs for me.
We went to my room, and he held me until I fell asleep.
