Chapter 6:

Pony POV:

I had a really good time with Angie that night, and I hoped that when I got home, the guys would be asleep. Boy was I wrong, the guys were drinking and playing poker (even Darry) with Elvis blasting through the speakers of the radio, and the girls (except Sylvia, who I was guessing was watching the baby) were talking and watching some women's channel on tv. I guess Two-Bit had to get out of his habit of watching Mickey all the time.

"hey Ponyboy! Come and join the game!" Steve shouted over the radio. Steve and I had grown to like each other at least a little bit over the last couple years.

"sure, why not." I said as I grabbed a chair from the corner of the kitchen and sat in between Two-Bit and Johnny. Of course Two-Bit being Two-Bit, he passed me a beer as soon as I sat down. I looked at Darry before I starting drinking from it, I mean I have drank before at dorm parties, but it's different when your guardian is there watching you. He seemed ok with it, so I took a gulp and took a look at my cards. I don't really know how, but three hours later I had won forty dollars and Soda was going crazy dancing around the living room with Sandy.

"you guys let him drink WAY too much." Sandy said once Soda finally sat down with Sandy in his lap. We were all sitting around the living room watching a scary movie that Sam had found while flipping through the channels. Knowing the guys, they'd ask me about my date with Angie sooner or later and since I've never been one to kiss and tell; I outsmarted them and said I was going to bed before any of them could ask.

Soda POV:

"Pony left before any of us got to ask him bout his date" Two-Bit whined after Ponyboy left to go to bed.

"that's probably why he left." Darry told us all.

"what ya mean?" Steve asked.

"he probably didn't wanna tell us bout the date and knowing we'd ask he left before we had a chance to." Darry told him.

"you think it went that bad?" I asked.

"no, maybe it was good, but knowing Ponyboy, he's not one to blab about a chick right after the first date, unlike any of you."

"hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Steve asked.

"means that he's not a jerk." Johnny filled Steve in.

"well, maybe he won't tell us, but Angie and I are still good friends since I hung out with Tim's gang so if I call her up maybe she'll tell me. And if she doesn't tell me, then we can get Kayla to try. We all know they're good friends." Dally said with a mischievous smile on as he went over to the phone and started to dial Angie's number.

"hey Angie, so I was just wondering… how was yours and Ponys date tonight?" Dally asked. It was a couple of seconds before Dally said. "cool, alright I see ya around then. Bye."

Dally turned to look at us and said.

"well I got the dish. Apparently they went to the Dingo for dinner, then to a movie, and when he dropped her off at her house… they made out in front of her door." Dally finished, smiling a smile of approval to my brother's date.

A Month Later:

Pony POV:

I was walking down the hallway to my dorm room. It had been a great summer and I was gonna miss the gang, and Angie, but I sure was glad to be back to a place where I controlled my own destiny.

I stopped right before my door, there was a sleeping baby on the floor right in front of my dorm room and a note was attached to the bassinet. I took the note thinking it was for Jason and what I read shocked me.

Dear Ponyboy Curtis,

I know I should have told you about the baby earlier but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it quite yet so I just went back to LA. It's been a really rough first two months, and I can't go on any longer. I was gonna give her to an adoption agency but I thought maybe you'd like a chance first. She doesn't have a name yet so that's all up to you, but she was born on July 15th and she's been healthy so far. She has a tendency to wake up crying bloody murder some nights but it's nothing to worry about…I think.

Ex- girlfriend and child's mother.

P.S. I'm sorry!

The End!

I know that this ended pretty quickly, and I planned for it to be much longer originally but I kind of lost the spirit/ interest in the story so I thought I'd end it here. I might end up picking up on it in a few weeks, or maybe even months. But this is all for now. Sorry folks but the idea just kinda died down. I'll try my hardest to get bad the motive for this story, but I can't guarantee it'll come.

Girlz – rule

P.S. please don't hate me! If enough people want me to continue then I probably will, not having will power over a lot of pleading people is a weakness of mine.
