No one's POV
"Soda, were gonna have to get Pony's old stuff out for her for now." Darry whispered while rocking Lauren back and forth.
"Okay I'll go get it." Soda said running to the closet.
He came back with a big box in his hands.
Soda opened the box and hundreds of old memories came back.
The box was filled with baby things, and each came with a story.
With every story though, Ponyboy's face became a deeper shade of red.
They found baby clothes, pacifiers and toys.
One thing that made everyone smile (minus Dally who, when woken up, scowled at everyone and then fell back asleep) was a stuffed blue rabbit.
"Look Pony! It's buu bunny!" Darry said pulling the bunny out of the box.
"Oh yeah, I remember buu bunny!" Soda shouted.
"Buu bunny?" Two-Bit asked laughing loudly until a growl was heard from Dally and a pillow was chucked at Two-Bit's head.
"Yea, when Pony was a baby until he was about 5, buu bunny was his best friend." Darry explained.
"His real name was blue bunny but Pony couldn't pernounce the word blue yet, so he called him buu bunny and that name just stuck."
"Yeah, remember how he refused to go to sleep unless buu bunny was there too?" Soda said.
"Aww" Steve cooed mockingly, taking the bunny and making it 'talk' in a high-pitched voice. "Hi Pony, remember me? I wuv you soooo much!"
Then Ponyboy tackled Steve and they began wrestling around the floor and only stopped when another loud growl was heard from Dally.
Steve and Soda went to retrieve Ponyboy's old crib out of the back of the closet in their parent's room and went to work assembling it.
Two-Bit, on the other hand, went to work bothering Dally.
He took buu bunny and carefully approached Dally's face.
"You come any closer to me with that thing and you will lose your hand" Dally growled, eyes still closed.
Two-Bit backed off immediately, wondering how Dally knew he was there.
When Soda and Steve finished the crib, Darry put Lauren in the crib gently so that he wouldn't wake her.
Soda looked down at her fondly; he always did want a little sister.
Darry saw the look and said while running his hand through his hair "Don't get too attached Soda, I really don't think we'll be able to keep her."
"WHAT?!" Soda exclaimed.
"Shut up! You're gonna wake her up" Darry whispered sharply.
Soda's voice dropped to a low whisper as he said "Darry, you can't be serious! You can't just put her in some girl's home, she needs us!"
"I don't think living with a bunch of Greasers that don't even know how to raise a baby is what she needs, Sodapop" Darry countered.
"This girl trusted us to take care of her baby, Darry! How would you feel if you gave me and Pony to someone that you trusted and then you found out that they sent us off to some boy's home?" Soda said, gritting his teeth to refrain from raising his voice.
"That is a different situation, do you really think the state would let us keep her?"
"They might" Soda mumbled.
"She isn't some puppy you brought home, this is an actual human life little buddy" Darry explained.
"Don't call me that" Soda snapped and stormed off to his room.
Darry sighed.
"Darry, why don't we all go back to sleep? We'll figure everything out tomorrow" Pony suggested.
"Yeah, I guess you're right" said Darry.
Pony immediately rushed off to check on Soda and Darry retired to his own room for the night.
The rest of the gang went back to sleep in the living room.
It was about an hour later when, yet again everyone was woken up.
Lauren was crying loudly and as Darry's snapped open, he felt like doing the same.
Five of the seven (minus Dally and Soda) all got up groaning as Darry picked up Lauren.
He walked around with her and bounced her up and down but nothing worked.
They all tried holding her and calming her down but nothing was working.
Dally had left several minutes after the screaming started, mumbling about being able to get more sleep at Buck's.
Darry finally gave up and decided to call...
