A/N: I plan on making other little song fics about the gang and their daughters. I really like how this turned out, and I do believe that this song fits these two. For one thing, Sam is Dallas Winston's daughter; she isn't one to cry easily, so yeah. I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's really short, sorry about that. Please review! Please ignore any spelling/grammer mistakes, I really do try to fix them all, but it doesn't always work.
Disclaimer: I only own the Ocs, I don't own the Outsiders. The wonderful S. E. Hinton owns the Outsiders. I also don't own the song Cowgirls Don't Cry, Brookes and Dunn own that.
*Cowgirls Don't Cry: Dally and Sam*
When Sam was five, Dallas bought her a horse and taught her to ride. She fell many times, and it taught her a lesson that she learned a little too well.
"Cowgirls don't cry," Dallas told his daughter as he picked her up. A teary eyed Sam looked up at her father.
"The-they don't Daddy?" Sam asked. Dallas picked up her cowgirl hat and put it back on her head, a small smile on his face.
"Nope, they fall and get back on again. They keep on riding." These words would follow Sam for the rest of her life.
She married, but it wasn't quite right. He didn't love her, not anymore and when he started to come home late at night things just went downhill; he never saw her shed a tear. She would lock herself in her room and tell herself, "Cowgirls don't cry, Sam. They just pick themselves up and keep on riding." She wouldn't let him see her fall apart at his actions.
They got a divorce not long after that. Still, Sam didn't shed a tear.
Early one morning, Sam and her new husband woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She answered it with a groggily hello.
"Samantha," her mother asked, she sounded as if she had been crying.
"Mom," Sam asked, sitting up in bed.
"Sam, you need to come home. It's you father….This is it baby, I think," Cherry let out a sob, "I think he's dying." Sam felt her heart break, no, not her father. He was one of the strongest men she knew, this couldn't be happening.
She heard a very husky voice in the background, asking Cherry something.
"Your father wasn't to tell you something, dear." Cherry set the phone next to Dally's head.
"Daddy," Sam asked her father. She could feel the tears in her eyes, tears that wanted to be set free, but she still wouldn't let them fall.
"Cowgirl don't cry," He told her with as much strength as he could muster. Sam held back a sob. Just keep on riding Sam, and if you fall get right back on. God calls everybody home, even no good hoods like me." She heard her mother let out a strange sob/laugh in the background. "I ain't worth crying over."
"I love you Daddy," Sam told him, her eyes still stinging with unshed tears.
"I love you too, Sam." Those were the last words that Dallas Winston spoke to his daughter. At his funeral, Sam's fourteen year old daughter began to cry, yet Sam herself didn't have a tear in her eye. That night, when she would be alone by herself she would bawl her eyes out, but right now she had to be a cowgirl. And cowgirls didn't cry.
My mother said that this chapter almost made her cry (yeah, my mom is awesome because she's an Outsiders fan!). I really hope you like this chapter. Please review! I beg of you! I'll give you some of my mom's cheesecake! Lol, anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was fun to right. Yes, in the end Sam does remarry and she has kids. Just so you know, if you remember Dallas and Cherry both did things in the rodeo, so I believe their kids would grow up around that kind of thing. So that's one of the reasons why this song fits so well.
