Having Family

A/N. Sorry for the delay, but I went over to Italy for Christmas and when I am over there I don't like speaking or writing English over there since I am talking fluent Italian. So I am back and am going to write as much as I can this week since I have Midterms this week. And I am usually done before the eighty minutes, which means I can read and write. I am getting ready for softball season at the school, which means more busyness. I hate that not having time on your hands. As it is I have to print out the stories I want to read in four columns in four-size font because I never have a lot of time on the Internet. By the way thanks for all the reviews, I was really close to my goal only 6 more to go I think till I get 100.

Antique Orange- I know what you mean by snow. I moved to P.A. from New York and I would hate it because I would get lake effect snow near Corning- Elmira. I hated it. Here near Pitt, snow ain't that bad.

Chapter Nineteen

A New Beginning

**Johnny's**

We ran into the room where Emma was on the floor covered in blood. Before we could react there was another shot and Dally was hit. I watched in horror as the people around me dropped to the floor in blood and there was nothing I could do to stop it. The door opened and in came Tim and Miranda pointing a gun at my father's head. A final shot rang out as I pushed past my father and..

The End... ... .. .. ... ... ...

(I ain't that mean.)

**Mike's**

I was in the Living room talking to Darry about Johnny, and I never knew that there were so many new things I would have to get used to about him. Pony was out cold on the couch and Soda was leaning against the couch half asleep. The others had gone home a while ago along with Emma and Dally, who decided that they were going to stay in their apartment.

"Soda you can go sleep in the guest room you know." I started as he looked up to me with half opened eyes. "I know that you only live a few houses down, but it's late in the morning and dark, " I turned to Darry who nodded to me. I helped him get Pony into the guest room and watched as Soda lies down on the bed. He was out in less then ten seconds.

I then showed Darry to the other guest room and then walked to mine, but not before stopping in front of Johnny's room. I was worried about him. He had passed out when he heard on of my clients screamed. Someone had dropped a piece of glass when she screamed. Two-Bit had scared her. Between the shock of that and his condition I thought that what he did was suspected.

I was about half was dressed when I heard a scream come from Johnny's room. I tore open my door and ran as fast as I could to his door. Throwing it open I saw Johnny on the floor and his hand held his head where there was a slight gash. I flicked on the light and ran over to him. He was crying and trembling. Darry and the others ran in as I sat next to him.

"Johnny what happened?" I asked him as I removed his hand. "Erin can you please go and get me the first aid kit?" I asked her as she left the room.

"Dad is that you, but he shot me and was aiming for you. " He cried threw tears.

"Who shot you?" I asked as I rubbed his back.

"Tim and Miranda, they were shooting everyone. Everyone was down in Blood. He got Emma and Dally." He then said as he took in a deep breath. Erin walked in with the kit as I looked into my eyes and nodded. She headed to the door and got the others to go back to bed as she shut the door behind her.

"It's alright now Tex. I am here and no one is going to hurt you again. I should have never left you here; I should have brought your mother and you with me. " I said as I looked at him. He was still whimpering slightly, but stopped as he looked up to me.

"You just called me Tex." He said "I don't want to be called that anymore, I want to stay here with you, but I don't want to hurt Dally and Emma." He told me as I fixed the gash on his head.

"Don't worry about it, Dally and I talked after I brought you back here when you passed out. Dally admits that he is young to take care of another teen and since I am back I am taking over the responsibility and Colonial is taking care of the legal issue. But Dally is still a guardian to you mister. Now what in god's name did you hit your head on?" I said as I looked at his bed and noticed the sharp edge. "There's the problem I said as I looked at it. Well looks like you'll be getting a new bed." I helped him up and then we headed to my room. Erin was asleep on the bed and Johnny looked at me. I had forgotten that we hadn't gotten to talk about the legal matters yet. "Johnny I.."

"Dad I'll sleep on the couch, and stop worrying about it. I know that you aren't trying to replace mom and mom would have wanted us to move on." He said as he was about to head out the door.

"Johnny there is room still here it's a king size mattress." Erin said in a whisper. "I am not sleeping my eyes are closed and I may be like Emma at the moment, but I am not as big" She said as I looked at Erin who was sitting up and smiling.

"Can I call you mom since I know that you guys are going to get married." Johnny said with watery eyes.

"Of course Johnny, now come on you two and let's get some sleep it's two in the morning. " She said as we both agreed with her.

(A few years later)

Johnny had gone of to college and was becoming a solider in one of the military Academy's along with Pony who had gotten a free ride when colonial learned of the boy's situation. They both seemed to like it there.

Dally had gotten a better Job than the one at t he DX and he still lived in the apartments with Emma and their three year old quadruplets named Missy, Mitch, Mandy, and Matt.

Darry and met a girl named April and they were currently on a honeymoon in the tropics. And both were thinking about having children as soon as possible.

Erin had given birth to a healthy baby boy two and a half years ago, in which we named Jason and Erin is due in a few months with a baby girl in which we intend to name Angel, after my first true love and Johnny's mother.

Soda had gotten a better job working under me along with Steve. Both have finally found a better thing to do with their lives, and both are dating a twin and have been together for the past year. Soda and Steve are both I know are getting ready to propose.

Tim and Miranda were sentenced to a hard detention center and were soon put to death by the government.

And this friends, is the end of a wonderful return, and a new beginning. .
