Who We Are(The Outsiders Fanfiction)

43|"Oh Fuck!"

<Chris's POV>

"Oh fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck!" Skyler screams. I hold my stomach tightly and cringe.

"COULD YOU QUIT IT WITH THAT WORD, ITS WHAT GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!" I scream. Skyler looks at me shocked, but soon regains her task of trying to help me off the bed. Every time she tries to move me I scream.

"Chris come on we have to get you to the hospital, Darry!" She yells. I shake my head vigorously.

"No, I have to wait for Soda, he has to be here!" I protest. Skyler huffs and shakes her head back at me.

"Christina, he isn't coming, now come on!" Darry yells from the doorway. I cringe.

"I can't, like physically can't, I think we waited to long, this baby is coming out here," I announce. Skyler's face goes even more white than it already is.

"Oh FUCK!" Pony shouts from behind Darry. We all go silent and look towards him. Darry glares at him angrily.

"PONYBOY CURTIS IF YOU EVER CURSE AGAIN I'LL SEND YOUR ASS DOWN TO HELL!" Darry screams. Pony throws up his hands.

"You just swore twice!" Pony protests.

"Not the time guys!" Skyler yells. I nod in agreement. Steve's head pops through the doorway.

"What the fuck is going on?" He asks while supporting himself with his crutches.

"ONE MORE PERSON SAY FUCK AND I WILL KILL THEM!" I snarl angrily. Steve's face goes straight and then says, "uh, you just did." I close my eyes tightly and then look at Skyler. She nods knowingly and the grabs Tibby from the crib, then handing her to Darry.

"I'll deliver the baby, get me water, towels, and a bottle of tequila, oh and call Dally and tell him to get over here," Skyler demands. Darry looks concerned at the last command.

"Are you sure your ok with him?" Darry asks. Skyler nods slowly.

"Wait, what's the tequila for?" Steve asks.

"Me of course, this is my first time delivering a kid and I'm going to need a drink now go!" She shouts. They all start running, well except for Steve. Skyler helps me pull off my pants and underwear so I'm just in a big t-shirt. I feel her pull my hair up into a bun and then she takes a deep breath. "Okay Chris, lets just think of this as an extreme trust exercise alright?"

"Oh ya, except if you fail my kid will die, no pressure," I say, quickly adding in that last part

"Oh fuck, sorry."

"It's okay." Darry walks in with towels and catches a glimpse.

"And I'm out," he says quickly. I manage a laugh before another contraction hits and my laugh turns into a loud groan/scream.

"Okay, this is sufficiently awkward," Skyler starts as she checks my progress, "okay I think that looks right I don't see a baby yet though so um ya." My breathing quickens again.

"I want Soda."

"You and me both honey," Skyler says overwhelmed. I sigh and think about how he would handle this situation. To be honest, he'd probably faint.

An hour and several contractions later, Skyler starts to get aggravated. "The baby is almost here, where is my fucking tequila!?" Suddenly steps come from the hall and Pony sprints in with a bottle of tequila. He sees me and his face goes white. Next thing I know he is on the ground. "Ponyboy! Is the alcohol okay?" Skyler asks picking up the bottle that is still in tact. She pops it open and takes a giant chug. I watch it go down her throat and wonder how it isn't burning. She looks at me innocently. "What?"
