"Pepsi-Cola," I smile as he walks through the door after a hard day of work at the DX with Steve and Evie who now works there too. Her and Stevie are married now, the Randalls are our besties. Then all the Curtis and the Winstons are our familty. I guess I should answer all your guys questions, Desiboy (Destiny and Ponyboy) are going strong she evens has like a hundred dollar promise ring, Dalex (Dally and Alex/Lexi) are married now Steves (Stevie and Eves) are also married. As for the rest of the gang Johnny is dating a sweet girl names Emily, Two-bit is engaged to a girl who believes in rip roaring' drunk named Bella, but we all call her Bells or Bell and Darry is dating a girl named Elizabeth who we call Biz, they're pretty serious.

"Hey my little pickle," he smiles pecking my lips  "Is the gang coming over?"

"Yea, I think so, but Bells will be here late most likely. She's been working a double at the Dingo," I inform him.

"Bells is such a hard worker, but not on weekends," he laughs. "That's when her and Two get rip roarin' drunk at Buck's. I can not believe after all these years Dally works for Buck as a bar tender. Can you?"

"No, but what are you gonna do? He has a family to support. I mean seven months pregnant with a boy and a girl twins then they have little Kendall. She is such a cutie with her curls. I love her to death," I smile. 

"I know, but it's weird. I also can't believe I'm Steve, Eves, and your boss," he laughs.

"Well you work hard honey," I smile as I get up. "We're having homemade pizza tonight. The gang's favorite. Do you know if Destiny is really pregnant or not? Emily called Bells who called Biz, who called me who called Lexi who called Eves who asked Des then called me back telling me it's true then it went down the line with Lexi, Biz, Bells,  then lastly Emily."

"I don't know, I'll ask Pony later. If it's true Darry is gonna skin Pony," he laughs.

"Why, he's seventeen now and he's working at the Dingo with Bells? You got me pregnant when you were sixteen," I reminded him.

"I know, but still. I don't know I feel like the gang has doubled," he says.

"It has love," I laugh as I hear the doorbell ring. "Oh! Company, I hope it's either the Randalls or Winstons."

"Or Curtis," Soda shouts as I rush to the door swinging it open.

"Lexi!" I squeal as I hug her. 

"Dylan!" She squeals back returning the hug although her belly gets in the way.

Dally walks in caring Kendall in his arms, "hey Dyl-pickle, what's up?"

"Nothing much Dal...You?" I ask him laughing now the answer will be, 'your sister, work, kids.'

As I predicted he answers, "your sister, work, kids."

I chuckle a little as he hands me my god-daughter Kendall. She looks at me smiling as she screams, "auntie pickle! Auntie pickle!"

"Hey cutie pie, want cookies?" I ask and she nods enthusiastically. "We just can't tell mommy or daddy." I smile handing her a few cookies as I sit her down in her high chair breaking them up so she doesn't choke.

I sit back down as the doorbell rings again. I rush over opening it to see Destiny and Ponyboy. "Des! Pone!" I yell hugging them both as they come in. I go to close the door, but I see Darry and Biz. I keep it open as I yell, "hi guys!"

"Hey Dyl," they both yell back. As they walk in I hug them both. I close the door and sit down talking to some of the gang as I hear the door open meaning the Randalls. "Eves! Stevie!" I jump up hugging them both as the door bell rings for the last time.I walk over opening the door to see Emily, Johnny, Bells, and Two-bit. "Hey guys."

There's a chorus of, "hey Dylan."

They walk in and we all sit there talking as we eat the homemade pizza. At the end of dinner Destiny smiles as she stands up walking to the bathroom. All we hear from the bathroom is puking signalling she really is pregnant. I look at the sea of girls smiling making a matching smile appear on my face as I grab Soda's hand. "I'm gonna go check on Des," Pony smiles as he walks into the bathroom not bother to close the door because, nobody cares. 

A couple minutes later they walk out smiling. "You okay Des?" I ask her smiling.

She nods before speaking, "I'm pregnant guys."

"Oh my god congrats," Eves yells. "So am I. I have been for a month and a half, but Steve wanted it to be a secret."

"Me too," Biz smiles slightly. "A week and a half."

"Two days," Emily smiles.

"Let's see I've been working doubles for two and a half weeks so two and a half weeks," Bells agrees.

I look over at Soda clearing my throat even he doesn't know. I have to tell him eventually. Now is the time. "Three days."

Soda jumps up running to my side as he kisses me, "my babies."

"Yes, we are your babies," I smile.

"Wait our kids are all gonna be like the same age," Eves smile. "Only a few weeks, few days, or a few months apart."

"Well we're only a few years or months apart. So it's fits," Des smiles.
****************
"Bye guys," I yell smiling as they all pack into their cars heading home. The Curtis house is still packed  Ponyboy, Destiny, Darry, and Biz all live there right now. I love the gang and that will never change.

I sit down on my couch as Soda goes through the mail. I'm half asleep as I hear, "fuck my fucking dumb ass life!"

I sit up, "Soda? What's wrong?"

He hands me the note and it's a drafting letter, he's leaving in three months. Tear well up in my eyes as I read it over and over again. He looks at me, "I'm gonna die."

"Don't say that. I need you, the baby needs you. You're not gonna die," I cry.

"I don't know," is all he says before he grabs his coat walking out of the house in the middle of the night leaving me to my cries.
