Disclaimer- I do not own The Outsiders

Note- I think you know by now about the flash backs.

He had to come here to watch Mickey Mouse? I debated kicking him, but that wouldn't end well. I was trying to get these people to like me.

"Two-Bit, why do you like Mickey so much?" He didn't say anything; he had his eyes glued to the television. It was a mystery, and I didn't feel like going into it any further.

"Soda, Steve, let's go to work," Darry called from the door.

"Your shoes are at the foot of the bed," I told Soda before he could ask. He smiled and went into grab them. I kissed Soda bye and they left. Mickey ended and Two-Bit turned towards me and Pony.

"You guys wanna do somethin? Like see a movie?" Pony nodded and so did. We walked to the movie house and went in. I didn't pay attention, but decided to go do something. I knew it wasn't right to leave them, but if I told them I wanted to go somewhere they wouldn't let me.

"I gotta go to the bathroom," I told Two-Bit.

"Fine, but be quick. Soda would kill me if he knew I let you out of my sight." I laughed and walked to find the bathroom. There was some truth in my statement when I said I had to go to the bathroom. I eventually found it and walked in. There was a girl in there.

"Sodapop Curtis's wife, walking around here all alone? I'm jealous of you, so very jealous," she said. She had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. She was leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette.

"Who isn't jealous of me?" I said cautiously. I stepped back a bit with my hand on the door.

"Soda's a good guy, you gotta be lucky," she said and pushed by me.

"What's your name?" I asked. She seemed to know Soda.

"You don't need to know," she said casually and walked out. I stared at her in wonder. Who was she? I never saw her before, I'm pretty sure I've seen all of Soda's fan club. I followed her.

"You better tell me your name," I said sternly. She looked at me from head to toe, slightly pausing at the little lump on my stomach. I placed my hand protectively over it. The last thing I needed was a fight and the baby getting hurt.

"What's yours?" she asked.

"Jessica Curtis," I said reminding her that I was married to Soda. I said it proudly too, why shouldn't I be proud? She shrugged and stepped closer to me. When was that damn movie letting out? I hopped Two-Bit or Ponyboy would come out soon. She didn't say anything, she just stared at me with those cold brown eyes of hers. Istarted to get uneasy even thoughshe was probably just another jealous fan. The movie was over and Two-Bit looked over to me.

"Trying to scare me Jess?" Two-Bit asked when he came over here. He put his hand on my shoulder looking at the girl. Ponyboy looked at the girl, shook his head, and then walked off. I followed him and Two-Bit followed us.

"Did you guys know her?" I asked them. Ponyboy thought about it for a minute and shook his head. Two-Bit said no. They ended up walking to DX and I left. I told them I was heading to the house but I decided to go see Sara, Michelle, and Anna. Michelle and Steve used to go out, until Michelle decided she was loosing interest in him. She sent Anna on her dates and refused to talk to him on the phone. Steve found out after I accidentally let it slip. I didn't think it was right they did that to him. They talked to me, sometimes. They didn't know I was pregnant.

Sara's uncle answered the door and told me they were out. Where could they possibly go? There was no where to go. The only reason I was still in this state was because Soda wanted to stay here. If it was up to me we'd be out of here, somewhere interesting. I walked around for a little bit more before deciding to go see the guys at DX.

"Hey Jessica," the guy at the register said. I smiled at him.

"Where's Steve and Soda?"

"They got off early today," he replied.

"Oh, okay, thanks, bye," I told him and walked home. I was in so much trouble. Soda was going to be mad when he found out I was out of the house without anybody watching me. One time, shortly after the wedding, I met a bunch of not so happy, jealous girls.

Flashback

Jessica walked down the road to DX to see Soda. A bunch of girls looked at her. Jealousy ran through every bone in their bodies. What did she have that they didn't? Why did he like her and not them?

"Look, its Mrs. Sodapop Curtis," one said to the others pointing at Jessica. Jessica stopped and walked across the street to them.

"Do you have a problem with me?" she asked curiously. One of the girls stepped forward.

"What the hell do you have that I don't?" she asked through gritted teeth. Jessica took a step back realizing how jealous these girls really were. There were two that were bigger than her. One of them slapped her across the face and Jessica stared dumfounded. She fought back but there were too many of them. They walked away when she fell to the ground.

Jessica pulled herself up and held onto the fence while she walked. She finally found a bench and sat down on it, waiting for somebody to come along.

Soda wasn't too happy when he found out and he didn't like it when I went out alone. I stayed inside or went out with Two-Bit or something. Maybe Two-Bit didn't hate me; maybe he hated having to watch me. I was only a year younger than him. I walked home and opened the door nervously.

"Jessica," Soda said. He looked like he was ready to go out.

"I was just going to look for you." He was worried.

"I'm fine," I told him and kissed him. Ponyboy looked at me with such jealousy. The poor kid, I couldn't help but feel bad for him.

"Your next day off, I want you to spend it with Ponyboy," I told him looking straight in the eye. He nodded and kissed me back. I walked over to the couch in between Two-Bit and Steve.

"Mickey again?"
