1Hey!! So I'm happy to say I'll be updating both of my stories today. I hope you'll take a look at m other one. I have an announcement. My one shot 'what is luv worth?' was a mistake. See I uploaded the wrong document. Ratsrule pointed it out to me. Now the actual story is up..hope you take a look!

Year Two

I'm turning 18 in a few weeks, I'm real excited. The social services haven't bothered with us in awhile. They were coming around a lot when we first brought Lily home but they've laid off. I'm glad. I was currently at an apartment complex. I'm setting up and apartment for me and Lily when I turn 18. No one knows, not Soda, Darry or the gang. I of course couldn't hide it from Lily...or Angela. She was with me right now and Lily is to. She was moving in with us!

"Okay Mr. Curtis, now since you turn 18 in 2 weeks and 4 days, correct?"

"Yes sir"

"Okay then, you can start moving things in if you'd like, however you aren't to tell anyone I have already allowed you to move in. I'm not supposed to considering you're not 18."

"I won't sir, only Angela here and my daughter know."

He nodded and smiled. This guy was real nice.

"Okay then, here's the key. Room 2 B on the second floor. You can check it out now if you'd like."

"Okay Thank you Sir."

"The down payment is due tomorrow. It'll be...$500.75. And rent will be $350 a month."

"Okay, I'll drop it off tomorrow."

So me, Lily and Angela took the elevator up to the second floor. Lily wanted Angela to hold her so I opened to door and stepped in. Angela and Lily did to. I closed the door. Angela put Lily down.

"Hey Lilypie."

She giggled and ran to me. "Okay baby girl, remember nobody knows about this okay?"

She nodded. She was a real smart girl. Almost 2 years. She talks all the time now.

"Our Secwet."

I laughed as did Angela, "yes baby our secret. Now lets go see your room then me and Angie's"

I put her down and took my hand, with my other hand I grabbed Angela's. we went down the hall and stopped at the first door. It was Lily's room. Inside it was a descent size, bigger than my room back home. She had a ceiling fan and 1 window. The room was white but I decided we would paint it. Lily ran in circles. Angela laughed and chased her. I smiled. I couldn't have asked for anything more..well maybe Brittany but she was gone now and even though it hurt I knew I had Angela.

"So Princess what color do you want your room?"

Lily looked at me, "Pwink."

I laughed, "okay then, Pink it is. I'll buy the paint tomorrow." I looked at Angela and she was smiling.

"Yes honey?", I asked her.

"Can I help with her room, I've always wanted to decorate a little girl's room."

I smiled and nodded but decided to play with her, "well that is if Lily want you to."

She pouted but laughed, she scooped up Lily, "Hey Lily ballo."

Lily giggled, she loved it when Angie called her that.

"Can Angie help with your princess room?", Angela asked her. Lily smiled and shook her head yes.

"Okay then it settle. We'll start painting tomorrow and slowly start moving stuff in. I don't want Darry to suspicious so we'll have to do it when they're not home. It'll be easier now that Soda moved out and with Steve to their apartment. I'll get a day off work this week. What day did you have off sweetie?"

She thought for a moment, "Actual the day after tomorrow."

I nodded, "well lets go see our room."

Lily ran out and I chased her. When I caught her I threw her in the air. Her laughed filled up the apartment. We stopped at the next door, it was the bathroom. It was actually real nice looking.

I looked at Angela, "well sweetie, what do you want to do? Leave it or change it?"

"Lets leave it, I like it."

"Okay."

We walked down the hall a little more. There were 2 doors left. I opened one it was a little bigger than Lily's. I guessed it to be the guest room. Se with me and Angela living together we can afford the place. I make good money now..considering I was promoted to manager and Angela is assistant manager at her work place. She work at a nice restaurant.

"Hey Pony?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Let's make this room a beige. With a bed and curtains and one of my old dressers. It'll be good if anyone needs a place to sleep."

"Always thinking of others honey, I love you." I kissed her and Lily giggled. I tickled her and she laughed loudly. We made our way to the master bedroom, our bedroom. It was real nice, had it's own bathroom to!

"Ohh Pony, this place is so perfect!"

"I know babe, and I'll be twice as good with my 2 favorite girls living in it." I smiled and kissed both Angela and Lily.

"We better get back before Darry starts getting suspicious, remember Lily it's a secret."

She nodded and we left and headed back to my house. We went inside and Lily took off for her toys that were in the corner.

"Hey Pone, Angela we were you guys?" I looked at Darry.

"At the park playing."

"Oh, okay then dinner will be done soon. Angela you staying? Kate's coming over."

"Yeah Darry I'll stay."

I smiled and when Kate got there we all laughed for awhile then we ate. I liked Kate she was just right for Darry. Soon we all went to bed.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX 2 weeks and 4 days Later XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"Happy birthday Pone!"

I laughed a little, "thanks guys."

Lily came up to me, and sat in my lap, "Happy birfday Daddy!"

"Thanks Princess." I kissed her head. We had a plan. When I winked at Lily she's ask to go home. I'd say yes. Then take Lily and go into my room and pack what was left of our stuff in a bag. And trust me there wasn't much of anything left.

"So Pony, how's it feel to finally be an adult?"

I looked at Soda, "okay, not much different I guess." I smiled at Lily and Angela. I squeezed Angie's hand. I was nervous about how Darry would react. She smiled at me encouragingly.

I opened gifts and at around 11 o'clock I looked at Lily and winked. She smiled and walked over to me. She looked tired so I guess it was a long day. She got up on my lap and put her head on my chest. Everyone went 'awww'.

Then Lily spoke, " Daddy can me, you and Angie go home now?"

Everyone went quiet, "sure baby come on." I stood up and went into my room, Angela followed. They must've thought I was just putting her to bed and that she just didn't say it right. I packed the rest of our clothes in a bag and looked around. It was weird. My room was so empty. I had kept the door closed since I started moving into my apartment so Darry wouldn't see.

"You ready honey?" I looked at Angela and smiled.

"As ready as I'll ever be but I'm happy. I want to live with you and my princess."

She nodded and took my hand. I grabbed the bag and Lily walked in front of us in the hall. I told her to kiss everyone before we got out there. When we walked in the door way everyone went quiet. They all starred at me and Angela. Lily kissed everyone of them and ran back to us. Angela picked her. No one had moved yet.

"Angela squeezed my hand, "come on Pony let's get going."

I nodded, "Bye guys!"

We walked out the front door. I got Lily in her car seat before anyone came out. Soda ran out with Darry right behind him. Steve, Two-Bit, Star, Evie and Kathy followed.

"Pony, we are you going?" I looked at Soda, he was confused and I think a little worried.

"I..We got an apartment. I'm moving out." I said it and everything stayed quiet.

Darry finally broke the silence, "Pony you just turned 18, you don't have to go, Soda didn't move out till he was 19 and that was after him and Steve decided to get an apartment together cause they opened that garage. I -"

I cut him off, "Don't worry Darry, Angela, me and Lily will be fine. beside s the down payments paid and so is the first month of rent. Me and Angela are moving into together."

"Darry looked like he really didn't want me to go, "yeah but I know you're the assistant manager and stuff but I don't think that even between that pay and Angela's pay it'll be enough."

I sighed, "Darry I'm not the assistant manager anymore, I was promoted.. I'm the manager now. I make more than enough. Look Lily's tired. Ya'll can come see the place if you want. But I'm going now so bye."

Me and Angela got in the car and started driving away. Soon, everybody was following us. I was real nervous. See our apartment was more towards the soc's side of town. That's why it was such a nice place. It's weird how I can afford all this stuff now.

"It went better than I thought Pony."

I looked over at Angela and smiled, "yeah, I guess your right. They're gonna freak when they see it though. Soda's ain't even that nice...or cost that much."

We laughed and soon I parked the car and got out. I picked up a sleeping Lily and Angela grabbed the bag for me. When everyone got out they all had shocked faces on.

"You rented an apartment here?" Two-Bit asked with a whistle.

I nodded and started walking. Angela and me led the way to the elevator. When we reached our door I fished out my key and opened the door. I stepped inside and let everyone in.

"I'll be right back. I'm gonna put Lily down to bed."

No one said anything, they just looked around dumbfounded. I smiled a little. After I got Lily all set I went back out in the nicely furnished living room.

"So what do you guys think?" I asked, they all looked at me.

"Holy shit Pony, this place is...NICE!"

"Thanks Soda. Hey if you ever need a place to stay or something there's a guest room. Bathroom's second door on the right and the guest room the one right after. Kitchen's that way."

They all nodded before taking off to explore. I sat down on the couch and Angela followed. I pulled her to me.

"Oh My God this bathroom's HUGE!"

I laughed and so did Angela. It was nice to have my own place. I kissed Angela.

"I FOUND THE BEER!"

I rolled my eyes, "I stocked up for ya Two-Bit!"

"That better be who it's for!"

I looked up and found Darry starring at me. "Don't worry Darry, I've only had 1..or 2"

he looked at me and then chuckled. Soon they all left. I led Angela to our bedroom...and we had fun!

Okay so I know it wasn't centered only Lily..but it had to do with her..I hope you like!
