Chapter 38- As Long As You Love Me

Soda P.O.V

After 4 days in the open, we headed home.

I had had an amazing time with my wife, I loved and cherished every second of it. Ash smiled at me as I helped her in the truck, shutting the door and running to the drivers seat. "This was one of the best days of my life." She stated, I grinned at her. "Me too, I wonder if anyone missed us." I replied, Ash shrugged and smiled. "Don't know…I guess we'll find out!" I started the truck and started driving out of the field. As much as I was gunna miss this place, I couldn't wait to get home.

"Are we there yet?"

I smiled at Ash's winy little kid voice, she pouted at my answer. "Nope." I laughed when she crossed her arms and pretended to look mad. "What other impersonations can you do?" I joked, but she took it seriously and thought for a second. "This is Darry," Ash said, then made her face turn into a half smile, half tough looking. That made me laugh again, and she continued on. "Steve," was the next one, that one looked a lot like his actual face.

She went on and on until she reached me, and she had to think for a long time. "I don't know how to do you." Ashley said, and I looked over at her. "Why not?" I asked curiously, she smiled and shrugged. "I cant make your smile or your eyes." Was her answer, making me smile. "You don't have to do my face, cause Im already right beside you, always will be." I replied, making her smile and blush. I loved it when I made her blush. I looked back at the road, giving her time to calm down.

"Soda?"

"Yes?"

Ash smiled at me, looking out the window at the light frost on the trees. "Is everything gunna be okay now?" she asked, it surprised me a little. We hadn't really talked about what had happened. But I gave her my honest answer. "We'll be fine as long as we're together." I answered to her, being completely honest. We could make it through anything as long as we love each other. Ash smiled big and blushed some more, "I agree." She replied, grabbing hold of my hand and squeezing it tight.

"I love you Soda."

"I love you too Ash."

I looked back on the road to see our house, making me smile even more. "Home sweet home." I stated, making Ashley get excited and look out the window to see Pony and Johnnycakes on the front steps, waving at us. I drove faster and pulled up on the curve, jumping out as Pony came running to us. "I missed you guys!" he said and hugged me then Ash. Johnny just smiled at us, I smiled back and we headed inside. "We're home guys!" I yelled through the house, getting response by being tackled to the ground by Two-Bit and Steve. "Sodapop!" They yelled in my ear, I couldn't help but smile though, I missed these guys. "Nice to see you too." I said as they helped me up off the ground. Two-Bit- grinned at me, "How are ya?" he asked, I smiled.

"Really good."

"Well good for you!"

I laughed and heard big footsteps around the corner, I knew it was Darry. "Hey kid brother." He greeted me smiling, I smiled and gave him a hug. "Never go on a trip again, Ponyboy was crazy the whole time." He groaned, making me laugh again. "I bet." I answered, sitting down at the table while Two-Bit and Steve went to bug Ash. Darry sat down too and looked over at me. "So was it good? Did she like it?" he questioned, I smiled big. "She loved it. So did I." I replied, thinking of all the great times we had in our 4 days at the cabin.

"Well that's good…maybe I should let Johnny and Pony stay there sometime."

"I think they'd like that."

We smiled at each other and Ash came in the room with Two-Bit and Steve right behind her, grinning. "These guys bugging you Ashley?" Darry asked, standing up and looking at them. Ash gave him a look that said "You have no idea." I shook my head at the guys, they just smiled. "Extremly." Ashley said, Darry cracked his knuckles and the guys got scared looks on their faces. "I'll give you a head start." He said, they bolted off into the living room with Darry following them.

"Thank God their gone."

I laughed as Ash sat down across from me, I smiled at her. She smiled back and we sat in silence for a few minutes. "I just realized how tired I am." Ash said, yawing a little bit. I nodded, "Me too…Im going to bed early tonight." I said, she nodded in agreement. "Me too." I smiled and got up and wrapped my arms around her. I leaned down to her cheek, kissing it softly, smiling at her. "You glad to be home?" I asked her, she smiled and nodded. "Yeah…but I kinda miss that cabin." She said, I had to agree with her. It was so peaceful there.

"Ewwww!"

Steve and Two-Bit stuck their heads through the doorway, sticking their tongues out at us. "No PDA in the house!" Two-Bit said, before Darry grabbed them both and drug them back into the living room.

"Its good to be home."

Chapter 39-Oh My Gursh

Ash P.O.V

I woke up feeling like I was gunna throw up.

I ran to the bathroom quickly, just making to the toilet where I threw up. What the hellll? I thought as I wiped my mouth. Before I could think clearly, another wave came up, I threw up yet again. That was when Sodapop woke up, leaning down beside me with a panicked look on his face. "Ash, are you okay?" he asked me, but I was unable to answer. I suddenly felt very weak, I couldn't even support my own weight and I almost fell if Soda hadn't been there.

"Ashley!"

He caught me in his arms, I laid there for a few minutes, letting my consciousness come back. I was really dizzy too, this was not good at all. Soda had a scared look on his face as I pointed back to the bed.
"I'm gunna lift you up alright?" he asked, I nodded smally and he picked me up bridal style. I never thought I would be so glad to be in that bed. My head fell limply on the pillows, Sodapop covered me with blankets, then kissed me on the forehead. "I'll be right back, okay babe?" he said softly into my ear, I nodded as he walked out the door.

Soda P.O.V

"Darry?"

I walked into the kitchen to see Darry and Pony sitting at the table eating breakfast. Darry looked up from his paper and smiled at me a little bit. "Morning Sodapop." He slowly said, reading my expression and getting up from the table. "Its Ashley… come on." I said, motioning him upstairs. Him and Ponyboy both followed me into our bedroom, where Ash was laying in the bed. "I think she's sick or something." I told him, "She threw up twice." I ended, he walked over to her and put his hand on her head.

"She doesn't have a fever…"

Ashley's eyes fluttered open softly, looking at Darry confused. "Its just Darry sweetie," I said to her, walking over and brushing the hair out of her face. She nodded slightly and closed her eyes again. Darry frowned, "I don't see anything wrong with her…I guess we'll have to wait a day and see." He finished, standing up and looking at me. "Just keep those blankets on her, if she does have a fever I cant feel, that'll break it." I nodded as he walked out of the room, leaving me and Ponyboy. I ruffled his hair and he smiled at me.

"I'll be down in a bit okay?"

"Okay."

He ran out of the room and I sat beside Ash on the bed. "Don't worry Ashley, you'll be better soon." I assured her, smiling down at her then kissing her cheek. "I'll be back in a bit." I said, standing up and going downstairs.

Ashley P.O.V

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything.

Soda still wasn't back, so I got up and walked into the bathroom. I had to figure out what was wrong with me. I looked around for any medicine or something. As I opened a cupboard, something fell out and I picked it up. It was a pregnancy test. Why would- oh yeah, this used to be Soda's mom and dad's room. I looked at it for a moment,then thought. Could I be pregnant? The thought scared me at the moment, but I had to try it.

After a few minutes, it was finally done.

I nearly dropped the stick.

Soda P.O.V

Ashley came down the stairs as soon as I was walking up.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to watch TV."

I smiled and laughed a little, then helped her down the stairs. She looked a little nervous to me for some reason. The guys greeted her when we walked in the living room, she laid down on the couch and smiled smally at me. "Thanks." Ash whispered to me, I smiled and kissed her head. "Don't worry about it." I smiled down at her, then Two-Bit scoffed. "Get a room!" he yelled, I glared at him as they laughed.

"Shut up Keith."

He glared back at me and I walked out of the room up to me and Ashley's bedroom. I sighed and laid on the bed for a few minutes, just thinking what could be wrong with Ash. Is it just the flu? Is it something worse? A thought was in the back of my head, but I didn't think it was real.

Could she be pregnant?
