"Your baby we just got what's happening to him and we'll have to keep him for awhile because he is premature, but the good news is that it's a boy and you can see him in the NICU when ever you want and your stomach is going to heal perfectly now." The doctor explained.
"YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BAD NEWS!" Soda yelled.
"Soda, relax! At least we he is a live and that is a boy and my stomach is fine now. And what are we going to name him?" Annabelle asked Soda.
"Well I was thinking of a couple names like Hunter, Luke, and Noah. Which one do you like, Annabelle?" Soda asked her.
"I like the name Hunter!" She said excitedly.
"Here is the birth certificate for you to fill out," The doctor said. They filled out the birth certificate and the Annabelle asked the doctor,
"Can we go see Hunter, now?"
"Sure, follow me to the NICU," The doctor replied. They follow the doctor to the NICU. It felt like a lone walk but they were excited to see their baby boy, Hunter.
"Well here you guys go," The doctor said.
"Thanks," Soda replied.
"Oh my god, Soda he's perfect! Hunter is as big as my hand!" Annabelle cried out.
"When can we hold Hunter?" Asked Soda.
"Not for awhile because Hunter's heart is kinda weak so he has to be hooked up on all of these wires and he has to have this tub in his nose to help him breath better. But he should be off all of them in about a week except the tub for his nose," The nurse explained.
"Okay, but can we be the first ones to hold them?" Asked Soda.
"Sure," The nurse said. Soda and Annabelle walked back to their room and Annabelle asked Soda,
"So, what was that about us getting married?"
"I don't remember, why?" Soda asked her curiously.
"Well, I was think about is getting married because we have a kid now," Annabelle said with a smile in her face. Then the gang walks into the room.
ANNABELLE'S POV
Hunter is so cute he is the best thing ever! I can't wait for him to be home but Soda will have to make a room for him in my house and we have to buy things.
"Soda, you need to get and buy baby food, a crib, dippers, toys, clothes, a car seat, and wipes."
"Okay baby I'll do that right now."
"Okay thanks, Soda."
"Anything for me beautiful baby." Then Soda leaves the room to go get everything thing I said. Let's hope he won't forget anything. Then Soda comes back an hour later and tells me,
"I got everything that we need for Hunter."
"Everything?"
"Yep I got the dippers, crib, toys, food, wipes, clothes, and a car seat."
"Good baby I'm proud of you!"
"Shut up I had to do this for Ponyboy sometimes for my mom when Darry was at work my mom would give me a list of baby things she needed and I would go out to get them for her."
"Wow that's good practice for now I guess."
"Yeah my mom was the best I wish you could have met her." Then Soda puts his head into his hands.
"Baby what's wrong?" I asked Soda.
"I.........I just miss my parents!" Soda said crying. Then Darry walks in and Soda runs up to Darry and gave him a big huge and crying softly into his arms.
"Soda what's wrong?" Darry asked.
"I.........I miss mom and dad!" Soda said bawling.
"Soda, we all miss them too!" Darry said trying not to cry and hugging Soda really tight as Soda just bawled.
SODA'S POV
I miss mom and dad so much when Darry walked in I ran up to him and just bawled into his arms. Darry looked like he was going to start bawling too. At least Ponyboy wasn't there yet because he would have bawled too. The only time I have bawled was when we went to the funeral and I bawled the whole time that Darry had to talk me outside to stop bawling but I just bawled and bawled that when I was done Darry has a big wet spot on his black shirt. It wasn't that bad for Ponyboy he bawled through the whole funeral then he stopped but when we where going to put them in the grave Ponyboy stayed in the truck and bawled.
"So, where the baby? Is it a boy or a girl? What's it's name?" PonyBoy asked.
"Okay it's a boy. We names it Hunter. And the baby is premature so it has to stay in the NICU because Hunter's heart is weak," Soda answered.
"What's the NICU?" Johnny asked.
"The NICU is an intensive-care unit specializing in the care of ill or premature newborn infants," Annabelle answered.
"Well I'm sorry to hear, Soda. PonyBoy lets get you home. Soda you coming?" Asked Darry.
"No Darry, I'm staying here with Annabelle," Soda answered. Then everyone left the room and went home. Then Annabelle fell asleep so Soda went and sat in the chair and fell asleep.
