Upon the Stars: Sodapop Curtis x OC {Completed}

Chapter Twenty

     I woke up at about 1:23 A.M. from Kathleen screaming. I sighed and stood up from off the couch. I shuffled into the kitchen grabbed a bottle, filled it with formula, and heat it up in the microwave. I turn around and slightly flinch at Soda bouncing the baby in his lap on the couch. "Holy crap Soda..." I exclaimed softly. He shot a smirk and me and then his eyes drifted towards Kat. I handed him the bottle. I figured he wanted to feed her. He smiled and took the bottle. I curled up beside him and rested my head on his shoulder.

     "Tired?" He asked. I nodded... Even if I said 'no' he'd know I was. "You know I could work over, or work another job," Sodapop said.

     "No Soda, your family wants to see you. If you and Darry worked two jobs it'd be almost impossible for you to get to see each other!" I exclaimed quietly. I rested my eyes with a sigh. He knew I was right...

     "You know I love you... No matter how hard things are at the moment. I always will," Sodapop said. He set Kathleen in her crib and sat down beside me again. He dragged me into his lap and kissed my cheek. I could feel my face heat up. I suddenly heard the phone ring and I rushed over and picked up the phone.

     "Hey sweetie!" Exclaimed a cheerful voice.

     "Excuse me, um... Who is this?" I asked.

     "It's your aunt Laura, Summer! Now, I was thinking since it'll be difficult to take care of um... Kathleen? Well, I'll take over! You could visit her, you know I live right here at Tulsa!" The caller answered. I froze.

     "Uh... Sure? Um... Maybe every weekend?" I asked.

     "Of course sweetie! I will come by. I got the number and address from the hospital so no need to tell me!" She exclaimed. Well of course she got the number somehow! She called me... Crazy demon.

     "A-alright... Please swing by at six o'clock..." I sighed. I hung up the phone and slouched on the couch.

     "Who was that?" He asked softly pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

     "My aunt Laura... She's picking Kathleen up at six tomorrow," I replied quickly. "I get to visit on weekends," I added. He nodded smoothly and looked at me. "Hm?" I cocked an eyebrow.

     "You're just so beautiful," he mumbled in reply. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. He leaned towards me and pressed his lips against mine. I tensed up slightly then sank into the kiss.

     "Why are you guys making out in the middle of the night," Ponyboy groaned teasingly. Soda glanced at Pony and started to pull away. I smirked staring at Ponyboy. I grabbed Sodapop's shirt and pulled him closer deepening the kiss. Soda tensed up and his face flushed red. "I take that back," Pony laughed before dragging his feet into the kitchen. I pulled away from the kiss and Soda nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

     "I um... Uh... Never knew you felt that way..." Soda chuckled.

     "Well we are dating, now aren't we?" I giggled.

     Ponyboy shook his head carrying a glass of milk into the shared bedroom. "Weirdos!" He called back mildly loud.

     "I love you," Soda said smiling at me. He laid down on the couch and I crawled into his lap. I rested my head on his stomach and closed my eyes.

     "I love you too," I smiled in return. He laid a hand on my shoulder before I fell back asleep.
