Love at First Light

21.

Short chapter

PonyBoy's POV:

It was now 6pm. It's been 10 hours since the trial and we weren't capable of finding Dallas. Turns out, Jade gave birth just 2 measly hours before the trial, to a healthy baby girl. Bree Winston.

The phone rang and Darry answered before saying "it's Dallas!"

We all ran out the door, Bree in Jades hand as we drove to the location. Cops circled around Dallas with guns pointed in all directions.

Dal pulled his bluff and shots were about to fire before we all came yelling. "He's just a kid, stop!!" They all held fire.

"He has a baby, stop. Please lower your guns!!"

Dallas dropped his own gun as he look at Jade.

"Dal watch out!" I yelled as one of the officers brought his gun up was about to fire. Jade handed the baby to me and jumped into Dallas arms just as the bullet shot, right into Jade's chest.

"No!!"

Jade POV

I felt a piercing pain in my chest and Dals arms wrapped around my suddenly cold body. "Jade, no no no. You have to stay."

"H- her name is Bree. Bree Dahlia Winston. Take care of her, Dally."

"I can't. Not without you, Jade. Please, stay with me, man stay with me. I love you so much, please Jade."

"I can't breath, Dal. It hurts. Take care of Kasha and Bree." And then, my chest was no longer moving up and down.

Dallas POV

The ambulance finally arrived and put her on a gurney before making way to the hospital. We all hopped in Darry's truck and followed until we made it. "Jade Sheldon. I need to see her."

"She's in the operating room. You have to wait until her surgery is over."

I just nod, defeated as we all sit in the lobby. The place was empty other than us. I looked at Sodapop's arms and see a beautiful baby girl laying there with a small smile on her face.

She had light blond hair with dark brown eyes and semi tan skin. She looked like the perfect mix of me and Jade.

"I-is that Bree?"

"It is."

My baby.

"Can I hold her?"

"Of course, idiot. She's yours."

He handed her to me and I nearly dropped her. "How the hell do I do this?"

"You put her back in the little space between your arms and chest. Gently support her head."

I did as told and her eyes opened as she gave me a beautiful toothless smile.

"Man, how the hell did I even make one of these?"

"Jade already explained that to us during her trial."

"I can't believe we thought aborting her, man."

Bree started to cry and my face went from soft to confused. "Come on, man. At least wait till your mom gets back to cry. I don't know what to do?"

"She may be hungry."

"Well, Jade isn't here to pop a tit."

"There's formula too, dipwad."

A nurse came over with a bottle and gave it to me. I looked at it confused. I have absolutely no clue what the fuck I'm doing so try this kid.

"Look, nurse. The only thing I know how to do with this kid is hold her and reach her to defend herself. I have no clue how to change a diaper or feed her or anything else. Help me out her, broad?"

She quickly taught me how to feel her, change her, and put her to sleep easily.

"Nurse, before you leave. Do you have any updates on Our friend?"

"I can't give updates to anyone but family."

"Well, I'm her husband. Jade Sheldon, please?"

"They got the bullet out and she should be fine. They have to do blood tests and everything before we give anyone other than family, any updates."

"Thanks. You can go now."

She nodded silently before walking away and I continue as feeding the baby. We all talk in the lobby before we all fell asleep.

A loud siren woke us all up and made Bree cry. "Code Blue for Jade Sheldon!! Code Blue, room 108. Code blue, all hands on deck!!"

"She flatlined?!"
