A Surprise

Have you ever had the feeling when you don't have enough money to buy something but you can't afford it? That's exactly how I felt in Herman's Grover that fateful day in my seventh month of being pregnant.

"Sylvia!" Texas's voice reined my ears as I carried our small basket full of milk and pasta noodles and fruit. Turning to face Tex I could see him standing in front of a long line of different types of cookies, a box of chocolate chip cookies clenched in his hands.

I knew before he said anything that he wanted to buy them. I could see the pleading look in his eyes saying: please Mommy. Just this once can we buy a box of cookies? Tears stung the back of my eyes as I looked at my poor seven-year-old son.

"I'm sorry, honey," I started but Tex looked away angrily. He had Dally's temper: sharp and bitter. Even for a seven-year-old Tex was very straightforward and temperamental. "Maybe next time," I lied as I continued to walk down the aisle, trying desperately to make my tears go away.

"Sylvia?" a voice cried out as I walked over towards the deli area. The voice sounded so familiar. It sent memories of high school flooding into my mind. The voice: SYLVIA!" I heard a loud honk. Looking up I saw the grinning face of my wild friend, Brooke, driving towards me. A small smile flashed across my face as she stopped her car.

"Sylvia!" the voice cried again. It was Brooke Shrew. I knew it before I even saw her face. Her voice was so…so…well I don't know. It was just very memorable in a scary kind of way.

Putting on a fake cheery look I turned to face my old best friend. Actually, I take that back. Brooke was never my best friend. She was more of my best backstabber friend.

"Hi, Brooke," I said as I turned back to face her. She was dressed in a nice pink summer dress with matching heels, her dark brown hair was pulled up into a nice curly ponytail and she actually had on decent make-up. No mid drift or cleavage or thighs were showing. She looked like a normal girl. Not the old Brooke that I used to know, Brooke could have passed for a Soc.

"Oh my God!" she cried as she hugged me, "You're pregnant? Who's the Daddy? Are you married? Where do y'all live? How's you Mom…" Brooke went on and on with her questions barely giving me room to answer any of them. Brooke had never been this cheery when we had been friends, "Anyways, how far along are you?" Brooke moved on from her billion questions and decided to take them one step at a time.

"Seven months," I replied quickly as Tex popped up behind me.

"Who's the chick?" he asked as he glared at Brooke. I'm not sure if Tex knew who Brooke was but by the expression on his face I could see that Dally had talked to him about her. I'm not sure though.

Brooke gave me a you-didn't-tell-him-about-me look and said, "I'm your Mommy's best friend from high school," she lied, "Brooke Shrew."

Tex raised his eyebrow, a trick Two Bit had taught him, "Oh, you're the slut that my Dad had told me about." Brooke's happiness crumbled into an expression of anger. And I didn't feel one bit guilty. It was true: Brooke was a slut in high school. So why should I lie? Why should Brooke lie?

"Well," Brooke brushed off the comment, "I'm attending NYU right now, trying to get my master's degree." She boasted to me. All I could think was: where did her parents get the money? I had only met Brooke's parents once and that was at their trailer park home.

"How have you been doing?" Brooke asked, "I can see that you and your husband have just had the joy in raising on little boy," Brooke flashed a hate filled look at Texas.

"Uh…well," I wanted to say so much to her. I wanted to lie and say that I married a doctor and we live on the other side of town (but it wouldn't work because I'm kind of in the greaser's grocery store). "Dally and I got married and yea." I barely included anything about our lives. I didn't say that we were almost broke or that we were having a little girl. Nothing.

"You are Dally are still together?" Brooke's eyes widened, "Oh my gosh!" Brooke's face expression really made me uncomfortable. But it quickly changed into a pretend happy face, "That is so great. Well I better be off. I just stopped by to grab some milk for Mom and Dad," Brooke fake smiled as she walked out of the grocery store, no milk in hand. She was still a pretty good liar. It was then that I figured out that Brooke wasn't attending NYC or getting her master's degree. She was still living at home with her Mom and Dad or maybe she was selling crack to get money. I don't know. All I do know is that Brooke Shrew is a bitch.

Sighing I turned back to Texas who stood beside me, glaring at Brooke. "How did you know about Brooke, honey?" I asked him as I bent down to his level (this was quite hard for a lady of my size).

Tex looked away for a second and then looked back at me, "Dad told me 'bout her. He said she was a…" Tex went on to say some pretty bad words that I don't think I should say, though I have said some pretty bad ones in this story.

I nodded, not even bothering to correct him on his language. He was merely repeating what Dally had told him…right?

X-

"I ran into Brooke Shrew today at the grocery store," I said to Dally, as I got ready for bed. I had just finished putting Texas to sleep and was already really tired myself.

Dally's face turned white, "What did she say?"

I shrugged, "Just a bunch of lies about her going to NYU and getting her master's degree," I said as I sat down on our bed next to Dally. He nodded letting his color return to his face. What was he hiding?

"D-" I was just about to ask him when I felt a sharp pain in my 'lower area'. "Ow," I cried as I clutched my stomach. Dally rushed over to my side.

"Sylvia, honey," he asked in a frightened tone, "Honey, what's wrong?" his face had returned to its old whiteness from just a few seconds ago. His hands quivered as he reached for my own hands.

"Ow!" I cried out louder as the pain increased, "D-Dally, I-I t-think," squeezing my eyes closed I tried to work through the unbearable pain, "I t-think something's w-wrong."

A cliffhanger! Ha! Lol. Sorry y'all…I'm almost done with this story. Just two more chapters (I decided that there will be 17 chapters instead). Haha. Also I will do another chapter (18) explaining how this story came to mind.

Thanks:

PsHyChIc SeLiNa: thank you so much! Yea, the title just kind of worked it's way in there. Lol.

X fever x: me too! That's why I loved the scene in the movie/book (I like both) where Johnny dies because Dally is so vulnerable and is actually showing emotion. Thanks!

Dreamer for lyf: I'm glad that I made you feel better (I like making people feel good). Lol. Thank you.

Dark-Celeste: I totally agree with you, getting married and having a good would soften anyone (at least I think it would). Thank you so much! I'm glad that you like the Dally/Tex parts. Lol.
