*Leah's Pov*
*Right where we left off*

I sat on the toilet seat and stared at the pregnancy test in my hand. Positive. In eight months Johnny and I were going to be parents. Wait, what about school. I want to graduate even if I have to put off college for a while. I sat there thinking off all the possibilities, then one came to mind. I knew a girl last year that was in a similar situation as mine. She asked if she could home school by correspondence with her school, and that way she was able to get her diploma. Ok, that's figured out. I'll probably do better if I'm working by myself anyway. Hmmm, ok and Johnny said I could live at his place. So some of the important details are worked out. Now, how am I going to tell them?

* Jane's POV*
I was sitting on the couch with my head on Pony's lap and Johnny sitting next to me. Leah came into the room and she looked pretty upset.
Where's everyone else?
They all went out to different places. said Pony.
Leah nodded and then started trembling. Johnny got up from the couch and went over to her.
Leah, what's wrong?
You better sit down, she said in a soft, trembling voice.

*Johnny's POV*
I sat down on the couch and Leah whispered in my ear.
Do you remember what you said on your birthday?
I did and then I whispered back, Yes, and I meant every word?
What was this all about? Maybe she just had a nightmare or something and needed to be reassured. Then with a slow and steady hand she reached into her pocket and pulled out a slender white object.
Do you know what this, Johnny? she asked.
I had an idea of what it was. It looked like the pregnancy test my mom used when I was thirteen. Luckily it was negative.
Yes, I said in a low voice, knowing my life was about to change.
Leah turned the test over and I saw the blue line. That meant positive. I was going to be a father.
Leah looked at me with tears in her eyes.
I'm sorry, she sobbed.
I drew her in close to me.
It's not your fault, we'll work it out together.
This absolutely shocked me, but I was sticking to my word. I wasn't going to abandon her, I loved her.

*Ponyboy's POV*

I glanced over at Leah and Johnny and saw Leah take something from her pocket. Then Johnny looked at it, and them he embraced her. They both looked like they were crying. I was surprised. Greaser guys usually don't cry. The last time Johnny did was when those Socs beat the crap out of him. I knew this was serious.

* Jane's POV*

I saw Leah and Johnny and heard the soft sobs. I looked at Pony and noted he seemed as perplexed as I was.
What do you think is wrong?
I don't know, Johnny usually doesn't cry.
I stood up and knelt down by Leah.
Hun, what's wrong? I asked.
She opened her hand and I saw the pregnancy test with the hint of blue. Oh my lord. She was going to have a baby. I looked up at Johnny and saw his expression. It was shocked but at the same time, slightly happy.

* Leah's POV*

Well, now Jane and Johnny knew. I looked at Ponyboy and motioned for him to come over. He did, silently, with a curious expression on his face.
Ponyboy, I.... I mean we. I motioned to Johnny. We're going to have baby.
He looked at both of us with a shocked expression. Then he knelt down next to Jane and took my shaking hand.

* Pony's POV*
I couldn't believe it, Johnny, Johnnycakes, the pet of the gang. Who used to remind me of a little, lost puppy. He was going to be a father at 17 years old. And Leah was still 16 for another two or three months. I knew they both needed my support so I took Leah's hand and gave her and Johnny a small smile.
It'll be ok guys, Jane and I are with you all the way.
Yeah, we definitely are, said Jane.
Johnny looked at us both with eyes wet with tears, Thanks guys.

* Johnny's POV*
I knew this was going to to be hard. Hell, this was going to be incredibly hard. But I had support. We, had support. From our best friends in the world. I put my arm around Leah's shoulder. I was starting to get used to the idea of being a father. I would be a better one than mine ever was, that's for sure. How are we going to tell the others? If I was scared at what Dally would say if I had a girlfriend, I was terrified at what he would say when he found out she was pregnant.

Ok, that's chapter 15. I hope you guys are enjoying this story. R/R please!!!!!!!!!
