The outsider

Chapter 35

That night I couldn't fall asleep, but I didn't want to face Darry ether, so I pretended to sleep as I Hurd the bedroom door open. He didn't have to worry about waking up DJ cause Ponyboy gave him his bed, that means Ponyboy's yo sleeping on the couch. "Honey you awake?" I didn't move. "Kourtney. I know your awake." I still didn't move. "Fine. Don't talk to me, but I know you came to lunch today and saw me with Lisa." I snapped up as tears were forming in my eyes. "You were laughing with her and flirting! You didn't have your ring on and everything! Are you sleeping with her?!" "No! I would never do that to you kourtney. Never." "Then why be so secretive and hide such a young and pretty girl from me?" I cried as darry sat on the bed. "Kourtney. I love you, you and only you-" "You didn't have your ring on Darry. If you loved me so much then you'd keep it on!" "I had to take it off for work!" "How is fixing a house a good enough reason to take your ring off!" "My fingers were swelling and I didn't want to-" "Your fingers were swelling sure." I stood up. "Is this because I'm pregnant?!" "What? Kourtney no!" "Then what is it?!" "I told you!"

"Guys! You woke up DJ." We both looked at the doorway to see DJ crying in soda's arms. "Awe baby." I walked to him and took him into my arms. "Mommy's sorry, you want a glass of milk and a bed time story?" He nodded his head.

Four the next four months, Darry and I were cold to eachother. Not to badly but you could tell there was tension. We fought so much over Darry's side girl, to a point I cried my self to sleep alone with DJ by my side as Darry slept on the couch and pony slept back in his bed. No matter what we did, we just couldn't figure this out.

"Mommy!" DJ cried as he woke up in a jolt. "Hey I'm here. What's wrong?" "Daddy! Mommy!" He cried louder as I held him close to my chest. "DJ honey what's wrong?" The door opened and Darry walked in. "What's wrong?!" "I don't know?" Darry got on the bed and rubbed DJ's brown locks. "What happened stinker?" "I had a nightmare!" He snuggled up into my chest more and hugged my huge ass belly bump. "About what?" I asked and kissed his head. "That the baby killed you mommy!" I looked at Darry with a frown. "Come here DJ. Daddy needs to talk to you." DJ got on his knees and reached out for Darry. Darry held him close and hushed him, "DJ. Mommy's a tuff girl. Everything's going too be alright, and soon you'll have a baby sister or brother here. Isn't that exciting?" DJ pulled away and looked at me. "But I don't won't one with out mommy!" "Awee babe." I sat up and Rubbed DJ's back. "I promise you baby, I'll be there for you when ever you need me." He rubbed his eyes, "Promise?" "I pinky promise." We Locked pinky's and he sniffled. "All right buddy back to bed okay?" He nodded his head. Darry stood up and DJ clung to him. "Mommy?" "Yes baby?" I asked. "Can daddy sleep in here with us again? Pleaseeeeee?" Darry looked at me with pleading eyes as well did DJ. "Of course." Darry smiled and sat DJ in the bed.

I laid down and DJ laid down next to me, the Darry slowly laid down next to him. "I love you mommy." "I love you to." "I love you daddy." "I love you to stinker." It was silent for a while after that. "Your supossed to say you love eachother to." DJ said and looked at me, I smiled and looked across to Darry. "I love you dare." He smiled and reached his arm over DJ to rub my swollen stomach. "I love you to." "And the baby? Right mommy?" "Yes of course we love the baby. Why don't you try to go to sleep okay?" "Okay Mommy." DJ yawned and slowly fell asleep using Darry's arm as a pillow. "Kourtney... I'm sorry for everything and-" "I'm really tired dare." I laid my head down on the pillow close to DJ and closed my eyes. It was silent after that.

It wasn't that I didn't want to forgive Darry- hell I didn't even know why I was mad at him! Maybe it was just the fact that he had his ring off and was flirting with a girl that he refuses to tell me about. Yeah. That's why I'm pissed. If she was nobody then he would tell me, but if she's somebody... then he wouldnt. Darry isn't this type of person, there had to be more to the story. I'm just scared to find out.
