Chapter 2
"Age regression. It's when a person regresses in age. Ages backwards. It's most commonly seen in abused or neglected kids. Kind of like Johnny. All you need to do is treat him like a baby or a toddler. Depending on his mentality." The doctor told Darry with a nod.
Darry nodded slowly then said "What do we need to get? Anything specific?"
With a nod the doctor said, "Just a crib. Or if he sleeps in a bed buy him guardrails so he doesn't fall out of bed. Diapers. Bottles or sippy cups and formula. Wet wipes. Um anything a baby or toddler needs. If you need help just give me a call."
"Okay thank you." Darry nodded then went over to Ponyboy and Johnny.
"Come on, you two. Time to go home."
"Home?" Johnny asked, looking up at Darry.
"Yes home. You can go see the boys!"
"Yay!" Johnny exclaimed and Darry picked him up.
When they got home, Darry gave Johnny a plushie to play with while he talked to the other guys.
"So....basically he's gonna have the mind of a child?" Soda asked.
"Yep." Darry sighed.
"I'll go get the stuff we need." Steve grabbed the list from Darry and walked out with a sigh.
"Can he walk?" Dallas asked as he put out a cigarette and looked at Darry.
"A little. I mean, he can waddle. Or toddle. But most likely he's gonna be crawling. Depends on what he wants to do." Darry nodded.
"Oh. So we need a lot of toys and stuff then. Kids are curious and wanting to explore everything, get their hands on everything they see. Ya know?" Dally said.
"Yeah. Steve already went out and got some stuff we need. I made a list that he took with him."
Dally nodded and chuckled then said, "Of course he did. He never waits for permission. Oh well." He got up and went over to Johnny with a smile before saying, "Hey Johnnycakes."
Dark eyes grew bright and excited. Arms made grabby hands and an excited squeal. "Dally!"
Shaking his head, Darry chuckled and watched Dallas and Johnny.
