Pony Mini Imagine #11

Pony gets you pregnant, requested by @tiffo208

We were only 16, and I knew we shouldn't have done it. But we did anyways. And even if it was amazing, it's not like I knew how to get birth control, and Darry would never give him condom money. He thought we were too young. But then again, so I did I when we did it. I started to feel weird, randomly getting nauseous because of smells and certain foods. I started getting sick before classes, and I didn't want to tell anyone. I stayed away from Ponyboy. Something was wrong.

I mentioned it to a friend, who showed up at my house one night with a dollar store bag. She took something out. A pack of pregnancy tests.

"No!" I exclaimed. "You... you don't think I'm pregnant, do you?" She nodded.

"It might at least be a possibility," she told me. "Otherwise you could just be sick." I nodded, and went into the bathroom. My heart pounded, racing faster and faster as I waited the 30 seconds.

Positive.

I screamed. She came running.

"What did it say?" I handed it to her, tears streaming down my face. She comforted me for a minute, then told me she was going to call Ponyboy to come over. I tried to talk her out of it, tell her I wasn't ready, but she wouldn't hear about it. She wanted him to know immediately. I went along with it, with a voice in my head wondering how he would react. What Darry would think. What I would even want to do with a baby. The two of us were just kids, barely out of school yet. Neither of us even had a car!

Darry wouldn't give Ponyboy the truck. That's why he got here twenty minutes later, dripping wet from rain. He was shivering, so we got him a towel. I was still shook up from finding out when I finally went to tell him. My friend left the room so we'd have a few minutes alone. I sat him down on the couch. He kissed me.

"No, Pony, not right now," I begged.

"Is something wrong?" He asked me. There was an obvious tension in the air. I modded, then handed him a little sticklike thing, wrapped in paper towel. He opened it.

"Um, what is this?" I rolled my eyes.

"A pregnancy test, Pony," I told him, tears in my eyes. He stared at it.

"Y-you're pregnant?" He asked me. I nodded, hoping that would explain why I'd been so off recently. From the nausea to the distance, and everything weird that I've been doing lately. He hugged me. And said nothing.

"So... what do you think?" I asked. He shrugged.

"What should I think? We're 16." I stared at him.

"But... but it's really happening," I spoke slow and softly.

"Yeah," he said. He looked just as nervous as I felt.

"But we're gonna do this together, right?" Ponyboy asked, taking me completely by surprise. I nodded.

"Of course." He smiled at me, and I thought about him. About how handsome he is. How he could have any girl in the school, but he chose me. How smart he is, and how he could get into any college with his grades. He could be a lawyer one day, or an author, or anything he wanted, but he was choosing to be with me. I thought about how much pressure Darry put him under to do well in school, and how he was throwing all of that away... for me. For. For a little baby that he'd never even met. That was barely even alive.

For a little baby that was ours. Maybe it would have his smile. Maybe it would have his eyes. I only hoped it would have his good looks, that the baby could get his charm. Tears streamed down my dad just thinking about it.

Carefully wiping them away, he whispered, "Good... because I would never want to live without you, Y/N."
