East Side Sunsets

Chapter 33

"Are you alright?"

He asked me.

"Yeah I'm fine."

I really wasn't. I was tired and stressed out and I couldn't sleep for the past two weeks. I wasn't okay, but I didn't want him to know.

"No, no you're not. Come on, tell me what's wrong."

I suddenly broke down in tears. This was the first time in a long time that this has happened. Pony sat the baby beside him and hugged me as tight as he could.

"It's okay, Lucy. I know everything has been hard for the past couple of months, but I promise it will all be okay. You're probably tired, aren't you? Are you tired of the baby? Of me?"

I stopped crying for a second and released our hug.

"Are you kidding? You're the only reason why I haven't gone completely insane by now. And the baby, she's our special little angel. You know I love her, and you know I love you."

"She may be our special little angel, but you're my special little girl. Don't feel sad. I can make you happy."

He said, and our lips intertwine and our hearts find their way together. I got onto Ponyboy's lap and sat there as we continued to love.

I knew we couldn't do much more than that, after all, the baby was still right next to us. I smiled at him as I got up and took the baby with me into the kitchen.

"Hey, Luc?"

Ponyboy said. I looked up as I was fixing some cereal to feed the baby.

"You know we're gonna be okay, right?"

He asked, staring his bright eyes at me. I smiled.

"Yeah, I know that."
