❤️Sodapop's love story ❤️

One shots #9

I laid in bed staring at the ceiling, I had been feeling extremely odd lately, but the feeling was familiar.
Cravings, nausea, fatigue, missed period, moodiness, bloating, food aversions.
Of course! I'm probably pregnant again! I'm experiencing the same symptoms I had when I was pregnant with Charlotte. Oh that darling girl, she would be an amazing big sister.

" Good morning, baby" Sodapop greeted with a yawn,
" morning, babe" I replied kissing his cheek.

Little feet patted on the hardwood floor and a small knock came from the other side of our door. The door knob twisted and turned  until we heard a soft grunt and a crack had appeared between the door and the frame and a tiny figure raced to the bed, climbed on, and began squealing " Good morning, mommy!! Good morning, daddy!!".

" Good morning, honey" I cooed as I held my daughter in my arms in a tight hug. She hugged me back until she broke free and hugged her father.

" 'Morning, princess" he said warmly as he wrapped her in a hug. She wrapped her little arms around him.

We all got up and went downstairs, Charlotte in Soda's arms until she asked to be put down, then rushed to the living room and began playing with her toys. Soda and I prepared breakfast in the kitchen and plated it. I grabbed our four year old and placed her in her chair as Sodapop placed the scrambled eggs infront of her then placed our plates at our seats.

After breakfast, Charlotte went back to playing as Soda and I changed out of our pajamas. 

" Hey, Babe?" I called
" What's up, darlin'?" He replied
" Honey, I think im pregnant again"
His face lit up with a smile and his eyes widened
" Baby, are you sure?" He beamed
" I'm pretty sure but I want to get a test just to confirm it before we tell Charlotte, Just please don't get your hopes up just in case, okay?"
" Yeah, okay, want me to get you a test?"
" Yes please, dear"
" Okay, I'll be right back, doll, I love you" he whispered as he kissed my lips, grabbed his wallet, planted a kiss on Charlotte's forehead and left. Once he closed the door, Charlotte got up in an attempt to follow him and if it hadn't been for the baby proofed door knob, she would have followed after him. "Daddyyy!" She cried " Daddyyyy!" She began to grow worried and on the verge of tears when I picked her up.

" It's okay, sweetie, It's okay, don't worry" I soothed, " Daddy just went to pick up something, okay? He'll be back in a few minutes."
" Okay, mommy" she calmed down and rested her head in the crook of my neck.
" What do you say we give daddy a surprise when he gets home by having you dressed?" I bargained, I knew if it didn't happen right away it will never happen.
" Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" She cheered
I smiled and set her down as she scuttled to her bedroom and opened her closet door. "Do you want to pick or do you want mommy to pick?" I offered,
" I wan pick" she responded streaching her little arm out to a skirt that she couldn't reach. She turned around and asked for help to which I gladly obliged. She picked out a pink skirt, the pink sneakers her uncles got her for her birthday, and a white t-shirt with a purple heart on it. I'm raising quite the fashion stylist . Once she got dressed I led her to the bathroom and put her hair into two little pig tails as per her request, to test their durability, Charlotte shook her head as hard as she could and lowe and behold, they survived.

A minute later, the front door opened and in stepped my handsome husband. " Darling, sweetheart, I'm home!" He called, Charlotte dashed out of the bathroom and straight into Soda's arms. He set the bags down and received his daughter, " Hey there, princess, I got you something" he smiled and handed her a ringpop ( Not sponsored). She thanked him and scurried off with her candy. Soda stood up and hugged me, we pulled away for as we kissed. " You ready?" He asked, I took a breath " as I'll ever be", We walked to our bathroom, I took the test, and we waited for the timer.

I don't know why but I was excited but so nervous, I'm not a first time parent anymore and I know that no matter what Soda will be by my side; but I was still so nervous, apparently Soda could tell because he took my hand in his and stroked it lightly with his thumb. " Hey, It's okay, Sara, everything is going to work out just fine" he soothed as I laid my head on his shoulder.

The timer sounded, I held the test face down.
"Three" soda counted
" Two" I followed
" one" we said together as I flipped it over,
Positive.
Soda and I embraced eachother as we cried of joy, I know everything will be okay and that this child will be another blessing to our family, We'll make it through no matter what, thanks to my amazing husband and knowing what a great big sister Charlotte will be.

We called up Darry and Ponyboy and they arrived within minutes.
" Thanks for coming in such short notice" Soda thanked his brothers
" yeah, no problem, Soda" Pony smiled
" we have exciting news, you're the only ones who know so far" I explained.
They sat patiently awaiting the announcement.
" Soda and I are awaiting our second child" I beamed, Broad smiles painted upon their faces with pure happiness. " Sara, that's amazing" " Congratulations, Sara, Congratulations, Soda"
" Thank you, but we need your help" Soda remarked, " We haven't told Charlotte yet and she doesn't even know what a sibling is, so we want to explain to her all of the good things that come with having siblings." " Sure, Soda, No problem; speaking of which, where is the little princess?" Asked Ponyboy
" She's still napping right now, but she should be up soon, in the mean time help yourself to anything." I assured.

Fifteen minutes later, Charlotte stumbled downstairs rubbing her eyes with her fist and clutching onto a teddy bear. " Hello sunshine, how did you sleep?" I asked her as I picked her up in my arms at the end of the stairs. " I swept good mommy, thanks yous" she replied.
" Uncle Pony and Uncle Darry came over, you want to go say 'hi'?" I offered. She lit up,  " yeah yeah yeah!".

We walked to the living room where she hugged her two uncles ( and as per usual, they doted on her). " Y'know, sweetie, Uncle Pony and Uncle Darry are Daddy's brothers" Soda explained.
Our sweet girl cocked her head to the right, " Whas dat?" She asked
" A brother is a boy sibling, other kids that mommy's and daddy's have, a girl sibling is called a sister" I defined.
" And it's so much fun to have siblings" added Ponyboy,
" We played a lot of fun games together when we were kids" Darry built on
" it's like always having a friend around" Soda agreed.
Charlotte pouted and her arms hung,
" What's wrong, princess?" I asked. " I want a sibwing, mommy" she whined, " Oh darling, you will get a sibling soon" I assured, " Mommy has a baby in her belly" Soda beamed, " soon the baby will come out and you'll have a baby sibling". She smiled widely and began jumping " sibwing! Sibwing! Sibwing!" She chanted, " yeah!" I replied. " Charlotte, you're going to be a big sister, huh?" Darry commented, "Yeah, Charwotte big sistah!" She squealed.

Oh, how it filled my heart with joy to see my firstborn over the moon with the news that there will be a new member of the family. Before Darry and Ponyboy left, they went outside to the backyard and played on the playset.
" I love you so damn much, Sara, I'm so glad we're having another baby"
" I love you too, Soda, so am I but you better watch your mouth; there are little ears in the making" I giggled, he chuckled and wrapped his arms around me from behind. We kissed as we watched Charlotte laugh and play with her uncles, anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby number 2.
