Hi everyone, cute chapter here, and just to let you guys know, Dally's wife Abilene looks just like Abby from NCIS.
"Hey Johnny, you ever think about having kids one day?" asked Pony one night in bed
"Sometimes, there are times when I'll go to one of the orphanages and visit the kids, trying not to get attached to all of them no matter how much I want to take all of them home" said Johnny
"What if we adopted one or two?" asked Pony suddenly
"Really?" asked Johnny
"Sure, the kids need a home and my parents would love to have grandkids" said Pony
"Boys or girls or one of each?" asked Johnny getting excited
"I think two little girls, there's already so many boys in the gang, plus I want an excuse to threaten two-bit within an inch of his life if he even looks at our little princesses the wrong way" said Pony snuggling into Johnny.
"Sounds good, now question is what age range, newborn? Toddler? Grade school? Teenager?" asked Johnny
"I think newborn, that way they can grow up in our family" said Pony
"I like the sound of that, tomorrow morning we go to the large orphanage in heaven and adopt two baby girls to love and cherish forever" smiled Johnny. Him and Pony shared a heartfelt kiss
"Wait till I tell Darry that his 20 year old ass is gonna be an uncle" chuckled Pony. The next day the two of them walked into the orphanage, even at fourteen and sixteen they knew they wanted to be parents, they felt older, wiser, also they knew that being angels meant they'd never age again.
"Hello, oh it so good to see you again Johnny, should i tell the children you're here?" asked the lady at the desk
"Actually, my husband and I are here to adopt a couple little girls" said Johnny, the lady's eye lit up
"Oh that's wonderful! Do you have in mind what age range? Your friend Dallas, the grim reaper just brought a set of twin girls here a couple days ago, such sweet little things, only a few minutes old when they arrived, did even have names yet poor things, I thought your friend Dallas and his wife would want them, but they had to refuse, too busy to care for a baby let alone two" said The lady
"That actually sounds perfect, may we see them?" asked Pony
"Of course, right this way". They followed the woman to a room full of cradles and brought the boys over to two near the back. Pony lifted one of the twins out of her cradle and she wrapped her hand around his finger. Johnny and Pony looked at each other and nodded
"We'll take them" they said In unison
"WONDERFUL! If you'd like you can take them with you as we go finalize the paperwork and you two can discuss names" said the Woman
"How about we name this one Josie Mabel Curtis" said Johnny looking down lovingly at his new little girl
"And we can name this one Gingerpop Patricia Curtis, after my brother Sodapop" said Pony cuddling the little girl in his arms
"Josie and Ginger, I love it! I love you and them so much" said Johnny smiling more than he ever had in his life. The little girls opened their eyes and looked around, Josie had eyes that looked like a chunk of glittering amethyst and Ginger's eyes were a deep purple almost indigo, both had little wisps of black hair that in the right light looked blue. Soon they brought both girls home, they had spent the whole morning shopping for everything they'd need before going to adopt the two princesses in their arms. Pony's mom was next to them in a flash, cooing over and holding her new granddaughters.
"What are their names?" asked Mr. Curtis
"Josie Mabel Curtis and Gingerpop Patricia Curtis" said Pony happily. Suddenly Dally and Abilene walked in and saw the two little girls they had brought here a couple days ago, they had wanted to keep them so bad but didn't have time for raising kids, death had made Dally go soft but he didn't care.
"Pony? Johnny? You adopted these two?" asked Dally tentatively
"Yes, meet Gingerpop and Josie" said Johnny
"Oh Dallas, we'll be able to be a part of these little one's lives afterall" cooed Abilene holding little Josie. Dally smiled, he wanted kids of his own now but would have to settle for two adorable little nieces.
"Shoot, I'm gonna have to tell Darry that us sleeping at his house isn't much of an option anymore. We need to get our own place Johnnycakes." said Pony
"The house across the street is available" said Mr. Curtis
"Thanks Dad, mind babysitting for us while we go buy it and move in?" asked Pony
"Sure kiddo" said Mr. Curtis. Pony and Johnny were gone for awhile and Abilene was fussing over the twins when they came back and got moved into their new house. Later that night Pony and Johnny took the twins to earth to meet the others. Sodapop scooped little ginger into his arms and started fussing over his nieces. Meanwhile Pony went to go talk to Darry
"Hey Dare, listen, I can't keep going back and forth between heaven and Earth, I have a family to take care of, Johnny and i will still bring the girls over on holidays and stuff" said Pony
"Pony what are you suggesting?" asked Darry
"I'm suggesting that we fake my death so I can live in heaven, I'm already an angel but if the world thinks I'm dead I'm still tied enough to Earth to travel back and forth but no one will question my sudden disappearance" sighed Pony
"I'll still get to see you though right?" asked Darry
"Of Course, I just won't be around as much, weekends and holidays I'll visit but the rest of the time I just want to spend with Johnny and my girls" said Pony
"Alright, so how do we do this?" asked Darry with a sigh
"Dally can rig up a fake me to run out in front of a car one day, it'll will look like me but it'll be like a breathing mannequin, no soul, just human enough to fool the coroners and medical people, it might look like me but it won't be me. You'll have a funeral, and all that, just make sure the others act like it's real because it might look suspicious if my closest family and friends aren't crying, I'll come with Johnny and the girls on sunday." said Pony
"Alright kiddo, I'll talk with Dally, tell mom and Dad I miss them" said Darry hugging his little brother
"Now to see if uncle Soda will relinquish his nieces" laughed Pony walking back into the room to find a shirtless two bit had wrapped ginger in his aforementioned Mickey shirt. Soda looked like he didn't want to let go of Josie. Pony and Johnny took their daughters back into their arms , said goodbye to everyone and went back to their home in heaven. After putting the girls to bed they cuddled on Their couch and watched TV while on Earth plans had been set in motion for "Ponyboy" to be dead the next day. That night two sharp cry woke the boys up from their slumber.
"I got diaper duty" said Johnny
"I'll get the bottles" said Pony. In no time at all both Josie and Ginger were changed and fed and now sleeping peacefully in Johnny and Pony's arms.
"Well, we have a couple choices, we can either put them back in their cribs and we can go back to bed or we can let them sleep with us" said Johnny
"I don't want to let go of them" said Pony, gently stroking the soft raven wisps of hair on Ginger''s head.
"With us it is then" smiled Johnny. They gently lay the girls on the bed covering them with a blanket before getting protectively on either side of their precious princesses.
"Johnny, I know it's not always going to be this easy but I think this is the best decision we ever made" said Pony. Johnny smiled and held Pony's hand, their arms draping across their daughters.
"I couldn't agree more" smiled Johnny
