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.
The next day I sat on the couch as DJ played on the floor with his toys. "Mommy?! Can you play with me?" I smiled, "Yeah! Bring your toys on the couch." He laughed and brought his two toy cars onto the couch and we played 'Crash'.
"Boom mommy I got you." "Oh no." The front foot openered and I looked over to see Darry. "Daddy!" DJ jumped off the couch and hugged his father. "Hey buddy." "Darry? Why are you home?" I started to get off the couch to stand up. "I did it." "Did what?" I finally stood up and laid a hand on my swollen stomach. "I bought a house!" My mouth opened. "You what?!" "I bought a new house." "What the fuck Darry!? You can't just go out and bye a house!" "We needed it and-" "Darry! You've got To talk to me about this first!" "Mommy!" I looked at DJ, "Go to your room DJ. Just for a few minutes take your toys." "But mommy-" "Now DJ!" "Okay mommy." DJ did what I asked him to.
"Darry! What were you thinking!?" "I was thinking about the fact that we needed one-" "Your not the only person who lives here! You should have talked to me, and Sodapop, and Ponyboy!" "I don't need thier permission to move-" "Yes you do! Darry this is there home-" "Not anymore!" He walked to the kitchen I followed after him. "Darry! This doesn't bother you at all! This is your home, this is where we fell in love and DJ's first home, you can't tell us all to get up and leave with out talking about it!" "It's already done kourtney." "Darrel I cant believe you did this!" "In case you haven't noticed kourtney your pregnant! We need more room-" "I'm not arguing about that I just said you should talk to us!" "You know what I'm trying to help kourtney." "Darry... Just talk to us before you do!" I turned on my heel and passed around in the living room, that's when I noticed the front door was open.
"Oh god." I ran as best as I could to my bedroom in search for DJ. "DJ? DJ!" I looked everywhere and he wasn't there, I checked the bathroom, pony's room, the kitchen, and the living room. "Darry! DJ's missing!" He ran to me and graves my shoulders, "What?!" "The front doors open and he's Not here!" Both Of is ran out to the porch.
"DJ!" "Dallas Johnny!" "Darry there's only two ways he could have gone left or right, I'll go right you go left." I started to move but he grabbed my arm. "Kourtney your pregnant-" "He's four years old! I don't give a shit if I was bleeding out! I'm finding my son!" He nodded. "Meet back here in a hour weither you found him or not." "Okay." "Be carful Kourtney... please." I nodded my head.
"DJ! Dallas Johnny! Baby please! Mommy's so sorry." I tried so hard not to cry, I'm past the street and am at the park but DJ's not here. "Agh." I held my stomach as a contraction hit me. I've been having them ever few hours or so, a normal thing in pregnancy. "Dallas Johnny! Please." Another contraction hit me. "Agh. Dallas Johnny please!" Again another one hit me! Not now please! I have to find him, but I couldn't hold my self up and fell to the ground. "Agh!" "Mommy!"
I Hurd DJ's voice and turned to see him. He ran to me and hugged me, "Mommy what's wrong?!" "Agh! The baby's coming." "Mommy where's daddy!" He started to cry. "No baby. Don't cry, look at me." He nodded his head, I reached up and rubbed his cheek. "Mommy loves you... and she needs you right now." "Okay mommy." "Run as fast as you can in that direction, don't stop, don't turn, don't do anything but run in a straight line. Don't talk to anyone or say anything until you see daddy! Tell him mommy's baby's coming and lead him back here okay!?" "No mommy I don't want to leave-" I screamed. "DJ... I love you baby, and your brave. So brave. Help me and help your baby sibling... please." He nodded and hugged me tightly. I kissed his head and watched as he ran away.
Darry's POV~
"Dallas Johnny!" I called out it's been 20 mins already, where the hell could he be. "Dallas Johnny please! We're so sorry!" I stopped moving and sighed, running my hands through my hair. "Where the hell are you son!" "Excuse me sir. Are you okay?" I turned and saw a women, a little older then I am. "No. My sons missing." "Oh dear... how old is he?" "He's four. He ran away, my wife and I were fighting over the fact that I bought a house and he just walked out and it's been 20 minutes and he's no wear to be seen and my wife's out here to, nine months pregnant looking for him!" I couldn't help but let a tear slide down. "Sir. It'll be okay. I'll help you look for him." Another tear fell and I wiped it away. "You don't have to but if you will please do. He's four... and there's so many things out here that could hurt him." She smiled at me. "We won't rest until we find him. I just came from that way and there was nobody, where's your wife looking?" "Down that way." She nodded, "I think we should go that way, who knows maybe he was closer then you expected." All I Did was nod as we turned around and became to walk.
"DJ!" "Dallas Johnny!" We called out five minutes later. "Daddy!" I Hurd his voice. "DJ!" Me and the woman began to run torwds the voice and I almost cried tears of joy as I saw my son running to me. I fell to my knees and held him in my arms, hugging him protectively. "Daddy!" "Oh Dallas Johnny. Thank god your safe." "Daddy. I .... got ... to-" "Why are you out of breath what happened?" I pulled away and looked at him. "Daddy... mommy.... is... having her baby!" My smiled vanished. "Where is she DJ?" "This way daddy!" I held him on my hip and began to run in the direction he pointed to. "Ma'am follow me please! I need your help still!" "Okay!"
Kourtney's POV~
"Agh!" I screamed in pain as my water broke. "Come on! Really!? Agh!" I can't tell you how long I laid there screaming in pain. No one came no one was around... I was all alone.
"Darry! Darry please!" "Kourtney!?" I wish I could have opened my eyes but I couldn't, not until I felt hand on my cheeks and swollen stomach. "Kourtney come on we need to go to the hospital." I stopped him, "Darry no! This baby's coming now I can't make it to the hospital." "What do you mean?" "We have to deliver the baby now! Right here- Agh!" "Mommy!" DJ hugged me and I tried hard to hug him back. "Thank you baby. You were so brave- Agh!" "What can I do to help?" A woman said, Darry looked at her, "Find a phone somewhere and call an ambulance tell them that a woman and a newborn need medical attention right away." "Your not seriously going to deliver the baby here are you?" "We have to, take DJ with you-" "No! I don't wanna leave!" "Dallas Johnny I'm not asking. Only daddy can help mommy right now, go." "Agh!" "Okay! I love you mommy!" With that the woman picked him up and began to run. "Agh! Darry!" "It's okay kourtney come on." He pulled my pants down. "Okay... push?" He asked it as a question but I did exactly what I was told.
"Come on kourtney one more big push... your almost done." "Agh!" Then all the pain vanished. "Oh my god kourtney." Darry looked at me with tears as he held a baby in his hands. "It's a-"
That's the last thing I Hurd before darkness took over.
