Chapter 37
I do not own any of the characters besides Candy.
Saturday night ended up being like Friday night. Everyone was hammered including Dally. Except me and Pony again. They kept giving him more and more. And he would look at me for approval and I got to the point I was just shaking my head at him. He was torn between his wife and his friends. I was actually proud of him after his about 15th beer. ( note the sarcasm)
"I am done. I want to be with my wife" Dally told everyone. I guess a drunk Dally is better than a passed out Dally. He came and sat down next to me on the back porch in this swinging bench we have.
"Are you mad at me?" He asked
"No" I said
"Promise?" He asked
"I promise" I sighed
"I would be mad at me if I was you" he went on
"Why is that" I asked
"Look at me Doll I am shit faced and I am choosing beer over spending time with my wife" he said
"Its ok babe" I said
He got down in front of me.
"I promise to never get shit faced like this again, you don't need me to be like this" he said
'Babe its ok to have fun sometimes" I said putting my hands on his face.
'Yeah but not remembering half of the night is not fun" he said
"True" I laughed at him
'Get off the ground Dally and lets go inside" I said
'Yes Mamm" he said grinning
"I love you Candy Doll" he said
"I love you Dally"
As I helped my over drunken husband inside.
Dally ended up spending all day Sunday in bed.
"Dally" I said waking him up at around 4pm
"Yes Doll"
"Oh shit your not having the baby are you" he said sitting straight up
"No" I laughed
"Are you feeling ok though?" he asked
"Yeah fine" I said still smiling
"Just making sure" he said
"How are you feeling?" I asked him
"Headache from hell" he sighed
"I wonder why" I laughed
"Hey I still remember the promise I made to you last night. I promise never again to get that bad" he said
"Ok babe" I said kissing him
Later on that night around 7 Dally finally got out of bed and walked into the living room.
"Feeling ok Daddy?" Darry joked
"Yeah much better" Dally said
"Candy when are you going to pop that baby out" Two asked
"When I feel like it, I might just hold the baby in a few more months" I said
"That cant be healthy" Soda said.
"I am serious though Candy as soon as you know its time let me know I will drive you" Darry said
'Ok Darry, even at 3 am?" I joked
"You got it just don't have that kid in my truck" he said
"I make no promises" I laughed
"You should have the baby at home that way Dally can watch and maybe it will put a thought into your head about having sex" Darry laughed
"No thanks I am having my baby in a hospital" I said
"And no thank you I still want to have sex" Dally said
"Just no more babies for a while" Soda laughed
I just rolled my eyes at him.
I had read some where in one of those books that I had been reading that it is good to walk towards the end of your pregnancy that it can actually help you go into labor. I convinced every one they needed to go with me. Not for the simple fact of exercising but I didn't want to walk alone at 9 o'clock at night.
"I am so ready" I told Dally as we he was holding my hand walking with the guys. We just decided to walk to the lot and back.
"I cant even see the bottom of my feet" I said
Dally just laughed.
" It's not funny ass" I said
"Yeah it is" he said
"Ugh" I just rolled my eyes at him.
"I am sorry doll but it is" he was laughing
"I wish guys could get pregnant and experience this" I said
"Yeah no" Soda said
"You ladies can have that job" he said
"So are you nervous about labor" Darry asked
"Yeah scared shitless" I said
"I read in one of my book a woman can be in labor for days" I said
"Damn" Darry said
"Hopefully that doesn't happen" Dally said
" I am already having false contractions" I said
"And your just now telling me" Dally said
"It is false one I get them every once in a while nothing major" I said
"Still could of told me" he said.
"Well I am telling you now" I laughed
"Funny Candy" Darry said
"So how do you know if its fake ones?" Soda asked
"Do you see a baby" Dally said
'Not just that I don't know I just know its false once I cant explain it" I said
"She's starting to get magical powers" Soda laughed
"that's just too weird you know when the baby is coming or not" Darry said
"Who you telling" I said
"I just cant explain it" I shrugged
" I am guessing you guys are ready?" Darry asked us.
"Yeah well no turning back now" I laughed
"Yeah you got a point" Darry said
"Do you regret it any?" Soda asked
"What having sex or getting pregnant?" I asked
"Both I guess" he said
"Well the sex part was fun" I laughed
"Candy!" Darry yelled
"What" I said
"I got to admit yeah we should have been more careful but I am still happy with it" I said
" I would hope so" Darry said
"You know Dally I never asked you this before" Darry said
"What's that" Dally said
"What was your first thought when you found out she was pregnant?" Darry asked
"Honestly" he said
"It was the first time I was scared in my life" Dally said
"Really?" I asked
"Yeah I didn't know what to think or do. But I knew that I didn't want to run. I wanted to give my kid the things my parents never gave me" he said
"You thought all of that while I was peeing on a stick" I said
"No I actually thought of it the day at the doctors office when you were in the back and I had to wait outside" he said
"But I knew we were going to go thru everything together and everything was going to be ok" he said
"Well you got a long way to go being pregnant is only the beginning" Darry said
"I actually cant wait" Dally said
"You're a good man Dally" Darry said
"Thanks Darry" Dally said to him
After the walk Dally made me a really hot relaxing bath. It felt amazing.
Knock Knock
"Doll you ok" Dally said opening the bathroom door.
"Yeah" I said
"Just checking you have been in here for over an hour" he said
"Yeah I am fine" I smiled
"Isn't the water cold yet?" he asked
"A little my fingers are getting wrinkly though" I laughed lifting my hands out from underneath the water showing him my fingers.
"That means its time to get out sweetie" he said
'Ok help me?" I asked
"That's what I am here for" he smiled
I got out and dried off. Dally had made the bed for me and found a movie on TV for us to watch. The TV was still in our room. And Two-Bits was still in the living room so no one complained yet about the TV still being in here. But I have a feeling when the baby gets here they are going to take it back.
"Still nothing?" Dally asked
"No" I smiled
"Damn I was hoping the walk and bath would of worked" he sighed
"That just means we are walking everyday baby to help" he continued
"Ok sweetie" I smiled at him
As I laid down in bed.
I really couldn't wait the baby was going to be here soon. I think everyone else was more nervous that I was. But I cant blame them a baby hasn't been in this house since Pony Boy was born. And maybe this is what this house needs is a baby. Dally is so insistent that it's a boy. But it would be nice to have another girl in the house. But either way I am still excited out baby will be here soon.
