"Are you sure?" my friend Ellie asked me through the phone a couple weeks after the Socs attacked us.

"100 percent sure," I said looking at the little pink positive sign onthe piece of plastic I was holding. "I'm positive."

"Take it again! Sometimes it's not accurate!" Ellie said.

"I took it 5 times already! Everytime positive! But I'd better make sure I let Soda know. See you later." I hung up the phone and burried my face in my hands. What could I say? How could I say it? How will Soda react?

I picked up the phone and dialed Soda's number. Luckily, he picked up.

"Hey babe," he said smoothly. "How's it goin'?"

"Soda, we really need to talk," I said.

"You're not breakin' up with me, are you?" he joked.

"No, no. It's just.. You mind if I come over?"

"No, not at all. the gang is here though. We could talk in my room."

"Sure. See you soon."

"Bye hun."

I hung up the phone again and slowly made my way to their house. I wanted to make sure I said everything right, so I gave myself lots of time to think about it.

Arriving at the Curtis household, Soda answered the door as usual. We kissed very quickly then walked staright to Soda's room. We both sat down on the bed.

"So what's up?" he asked.

"Well, we seem to have a bit of a situation," I said. "Remember a couple weeks ago, when we, you know..."

"Oh my God..." he said, looking extremely shocked. "You're pregnant?"

I rubbed my stomach. "Yep. We're gonna have a baby Curtis."

Soda burried his face in his hands, just like I did. "How do I tell Darry? I'm 17, you're only 16." He was tearing up.

I looked down and said, "I don't know what to do either, baby."

Soda looked up at me and said, "Well I do." He smiled and reached into his pocket. "I guess this is as good a time as any. I was gonna save it for your birthday next week." He kneeled down on one knee in front of me and took out a small box. "Keri, I don't just love you. I'm in love with you. I always have and always will . I just want to be with you for the rest of my life. This is my promise to you, and the baby." The bedroom door opened slightly as Soda opened the small box, displaying a gorgeous diamond ring. "Will you marry me, babe?" Before I could even express my excitement, there was a voice from behind the door.

"Sodapop Patrick Curtis!" Darry yelled barging into the room. "Do you realize that you are just 17? You can't be married! What are you thinking?" Darry hardly ever yelled at Soda. Everyone was totally shocked.

"Darry, I'm in love with Keri," Soda calmly replied. "I can handle this. I have a job, and I know I can take care of Keri, the baby, and myself." He didn't realize he just said that there was a baby on the way.

"There's a baby? When were ou going to tell me Soda?" Darry asked more calmly.

"Umm... yeah. I just found out muself today. I'm sorry, Darry. But I'm in love with Keri and it just felt right. I know we can pull through. Trust me. I wasn't even planning on having the wedding until Keri was out of school," Soda replied.

"Well, as long as you will be happy, Pepsi Cola." Darry walked over to me. "Make sure you keep him in line Keri." I laughed.

As Darry left, all the otheres started coming in, flooding us with questions and comments.

"So I'm gonna be an uncle!" Pony announced proudly.

"So when did you get busy with Keri?" Dally laughed.

"You know you'll have to tell mom, right Keri?" Two Bit asked me.

"When's the wedding?" Johnny asked.

"Hey hey guys! I haven't even answered yet! Soda still has the ring!" I said. Everything went quiet and Soda got back on one knee again.

"Will you marry me?" he repeated.

"Of course I will babe," I said smiling. He took the ring out of the box and slid it on my finger. The ring was beautiful, consisting of a huge diamond. It must've costed Soda 3 months salary.

Soda kissed me, no longer as my boyfriend, but as my future husband. Literally.
