The Baby Of The Gang (Outsiders Sister Fanfic)

#12

Dakota's POV:

Today's Christmas Eve!!!

I giggled as Sodapop rocked us back and forth on Darry's recliner. He and I were the only ones up.

Soda rocked us back so far that we almost fell backwards. As soon as that happened, Darry came in. We looked at him and tried not to giggle. "What on earth are you two doing?" He asked. "Rocking." Soda replied. "Around the Christmas tree." I added. Darry smiled a little. "Okay, both of you, up." We got up. "What are we doing today, Darry?" I asked. Darry went into the kitchen. "Today, the gang is coming over, we're gonna watch Christmas movies, and do absolutely nothing."

After awhile, the gang came over, even Julie, and we sat around the living room and ate cinnamon rolls. We did that for the whole day until Tim Shepherd came by.

"Hey guys." He said coming in. The gang all said hey. "Hey kid." He said ruffling my hair. "Hi Tim." I smiled. He glanced at Dally. "You shouldn't be picking up girls who come up to your waist." He said, making fun of Dally letting me cuddle in his lap. "Shut up, Tim." He sneered.
"Is it just you?" Steve asked.
"No, Angela's right behind me." He answered. I gasped. "Angie's here?!" I got off Dally's lap and ran outside. Angela was coming up the stairs. "Angie!!!"
"Dakky!!!" She exclaimed, extending her arms out. Dakky has been my nickname ever since I called her Angie. I hugged her really tight. She picked me up. "Did you miss me?" She asked. I nodded. "Yeah, so much." Angela smiled. I got out of her grip. "Come upstairs to my room. I got a present for you." I said grabbing her hand. She giggled as we went inside. "Hey Angela." I heard the boys say. "Hi." She managed to say as she ran up the stairs behind me.

I opened the door to my room and got out her present from my closet. "Open it, I made it for you." I said sitting down on the floor. Angela smiled and sat down on the floor with me. I handed her the bag and watched her open it. She smiled and 'awed' at my gift. She pulled it out. It was a drawing of me and her that I made. I even framed it. "This is so beautiful." Angela said. "Thank you sweetie pie." She kissed my cheek. "You're welcome." I said hugging her.

She put her gift bag in the bag. "I'd love to stay here longer, but Curly just got out of reformatory school, and mom is excited about that. I don't know why, because I personally hate him, but I have to spend the holidays with him." I nodded. "That's okay." We walked downstairs. "I'll see ya Dakky." She hugged me again. I hugged her back. "I'll miss you Angie."
"Right back at ya sweetie pie."
"Alright, see ya guys. Merry Christmas." Tim said going out the door. "Merry Christmas." We all said. Angela followed him.

After awhile, we played outside. It didn't snow, but we did have some leaves. We threw leaves at each other, which leaves turned into balls. We all threw balls at each other and rolled around in the backyard. "Julie throw the ball to me." I said. She threw it, but it went by me. Two-bit grabbed it. "Hey Dakota, catch." Only I wasn't ready and it hit my mouth. I quickly sit my eyes and covered my mouth. "Shit!" Two-bit yelled. "Nice going." Ponyboy said sarcastically. I felt Soda's hands touch mine that were covering my mouth. "Are you okay, Dakota?" He asked. I opened my eyes and felt for blood with my tongue. I did feel blood, but I also felt a whole where my tooth should've been. I removed my hands and looked inside them. My tooth was out!

I smiled real big. Big enough to show my teeth. Soda looked at my hands. He saw my tooth. "Well, don't that beat all?" The others looked at my tooth. "Damn, you get two visits tonight. The tooth fairy and Santa Claus." Steve commented. I smiled again. This was definitely gonna be the best Christmas ever.

I cuddled with the boys for the rest of the night until Darry told me I had to get ready for bed. I put my tooth under my pillow. I'm so excited for tonight.

I went back downstairs and played cards with the guys and Julie. "Girls, you better get upstairs before Santa passes by." Darry said. I quickly got up. "Night guys, I love you!" I yelled going upstairs with Julie following behind me.

Darry's POV:

I rolled my eyes as they ran upstairs. I went after them. I caught up with them when they went in Dakota's room. "Hey kiddo." I said to Dakota. "Hi Darry." She said getting under the covers. "You got your tooth?" She lifted her pillow. I smiled. "Alright, go on to sleep. I love you."
"I love you too." She kissed my cheek. I kissed hers. "Night Julie." I said leaving the room. "Night Darry." She said getting in Dakota's bed.
