A/N: Okay, so now I'm "dense". I KNOW that they were talking about that particular chapter ("soda's letter" kind of tipped me off).
Anyways, I have decided that not even hinting at the baby's name is too evil for me. So I'm going to tell you the intitials...

That's how my uncle told me that I was going to have a new boy cousin. It took forever. My sister and I were staring at the phone (he was texting) and we would squeal when we got a new text, but then we would stare at the camera (my mom was filming our reactions) and scream, "DOT DOT DOT!"
Sandy closed the patio door and kicked off her sandals.
"Gram...I'm back!"
Gram came out of the kitchen with a plate of sushi. "Sandy, I made you some sushi. You're too thin!"
"Gram, you know I can't eat sushi when I'm pregnant! And look at me, I'm not thin!" Sandy said as she put a hand under her tummy.
"I'm sorry," Gram said as she put the tray of sushi down on the coffe table before collapsing onto the sagging couch. "I'm just trying to help out. You're having your baby in month..."
"Well, I might not if I eat sushi!" Sandy snapped. "I'm sorry... Pregnancy hormones. I'm going to go write a letter to Soda."
"Why would you write him? He got you pregnant!" Gram said in a loud voice.
"No, he didn't! I cheated, Gram! I cheated on the boy who loves me!" Sandy yelled. She ran from the room in a flood of tears.
Soda,
I'm having my baby in one month! I'm so scared. It's easy to pretend that you're the father and that I never cheated when I can't see her. But when she is born, who will she look like? Me or...him?
Don't get me wrong, I will love the baby no matter what. In fact, I already love her. But what if she does look like...him? What if my baby has dark hair and dark eyes? I want her to look like me! I want her to have blonde hair and blue eyes and your smile...but that's not going to happen.
I'm just going to put it out of my head. She will look like what she will look like. I just wish there was a way to know.
I love you, Soda. I miss you so much.

"Soda!" Pony yelled from downstairs. "You have a letter!"
"From who?" Soda yelled back.
"Um...Sandy!"
Soda was downstairs in a flash.
Sandy,
I will love the baby too, even if it is not mine. I hope she looks like you, too. You always were the prettiest girl in school back when...you know...I actually went to school. Now you're the prettiest girl in the world. Especially my world.
Please don't be scared. I hate it when you're scared. I remember that time when there was a huge thunderstorm and I held you tight the entire night. You were shaking so badly, and it scared me.
It's easier for me to pretend that I'm the father too. It's the only way I can cope.
Ponyboy is better now. We all had to go to court, and the case was closed. There wasn't enough evidence. For a while Pony was saying that Johnny didn't kill the Soc, that he did, I think he's over it now. He's just more absent-minded now. One time he came home without shoes! Steve got a week's worth of jokes out of that.
I love you too.

A/N: I think there are going to be two or three more chapters after this. *sniff*
Did you like it? Did you hate it? I won't know unless you review!
