Love You Sweet It's What I Do by Mounika

》   《

I haven't told Dal, I'm planning on it tonight. When I found out yesterday I was in such shock, I just couldn't tell anyone. Not even Dallas. When he came home and saw I cried I just told him my eyes teared up again because I threw up. He cares about me so much, he stayed with me all day. Holding me to make sure I was alright. My heart was full, I can't wait to let him know.

It was a Saturday, I knew everyone was going to be at the Curtis'. Dallas was cautious about me going out, he didn't want me to get too sick. I told him I was fine, I just took some pepto bismol and sucked it up. I needed to tell someone, but I wanted the news to Dallas to be special. And who else do I have besides Dallas that I can tell? The gang.

Dallas was fast asleep, even though it was the near middle of the day. He stayed up all day and all night, he hasn't gotten much sleep with me being bedridden. He looked so peaceful asleep, he always has.

I didn't want to disturb him, but I needed to let him know I was leaving. I leaned over to his ear, "Baby, I'm going to the Curtis'."

"You sure?" Dallas groaned

"I'll be fine, its your turn to rest now." I said as I rubbed his back

"But you...I..." Dallas dozed

"I'll be back." I said as I kissed his temple

I left the house and walked down to the Curtis', as I walked in I carried an awkward aura with me I couldn't help. Usually I'd just walk in and say something like "hey guys" or something witty like "I see nothing's changed since last week". But this time I walked in with hardly a word; I was so anxious about the news that I wanted to scream it at the top of my lungs.

The guys must have been planning to go somewhere, they were all standing in the livingroom. Besides Darry, he was sitting at the table reading the paper as always. They all turned to look at me, I hadn't felt this on the spot and awkward since I had to do verbal presentations in high school.

"I'm surprised Dal let you out of the house." Two-Bit joked to break the ice

I chuckled, "Yeah, I feel better today. Its his turn to be bedridden."

"Did you give him the plague?" Steve joked

I laughed, "Nah, he just hasn't got much sleep."

"I meant to ask, how'd the doctor's go?" Sodapop asked

I nodded, "Good."

"Anything wrong?" Ponyboy asked

I shook my head, "No." My heart started racing, "They did call back yesterday though."

Two-Bit cocked a single eyebrow, "Is that good or bad?"

"Well uh...lets just say..." I stalled. My heart was racing so fast, "The rabbit died."

Darry's head shot up, his expression said it all. Ponyboy and Johnny looked confused; Two-Bit, Soda, and Steve looked confused but in the sense that they didn't think they heard right. The one person I'm sure who understood was Darry, his expression looked like he was a deer in headlights. It was quite funny seeing Darry with that face, he's always so serious.

"A-are you serious...?" Darry asked, which caused all the guys to look back and forth between us

The brightest smile I've ever plastered on my face appeared, I couldn't hold it in anymore. Once Darry saw that he sprung up with that same shocked look on his face, but it started to get happier. He was speechless, as was I. "She don't mean..." Two-Bit mumbled

Sodapop gasped after he put two and two together and the look on his face was everything. I've never seen him happier. "Really!?"

I nodded, speechless myself. Darry was never one to really show much emotion, especially happy ones. But I've never seen a happier expression on his face when he picked me up into a tight hug. I laughed and hugged him back, I was so happy they were excited for me. "Hold on-" Ponyboy started

Steve and Two-Bit were celebrating too at this point, they got the idea. Johnny I think understood as well, for his eyes were wider than I've ever seen them not in fear. Sodapop whacked Ponyboy's arm and nearly screamed out of pure joy, "She's pregnant, Pony! Poison is pregnant!"

Ponyboy's jaw dropped and his expression matched everyone else's. After Darry set me down Sodapop nearly knocked me over with a hug but he caught me before I could fall backwards. Soda's hugs were the best, he's like a giant teddy bear. All of the boys gave me a hug too, each in a different way of expressing happiness. "Does Dal know?" Johnny asked with the brightest expression

"Not yet, I'm telling him tonight." I answered, the smile never leaving my lips

"He's going to be beyond happy, Ivy." Soda gawked

I blushed thinking about Dallas, "I know."

Short chapter but I love it. Abrupt ending too, but the next is going to be more abrupt. Would you guys read a Sodapop book if I published one?
