Ponyboy and Johnny took off to the library as we as we all sat around thinking

"Dall could just get her pregnant?" suggested Two-bit I smacked him in the back off my foot he rubbed his head

"kid's don't solve problems well.. in this case.. they might a bit but they also make problems!" I said

"okay okay.." he said rubbing the back of his head we sat there for hours no one coming out with anything useable then Ponyboy and Johnny came back with at least 6 books I blinked a couple times

"it's a good thing Pone likes to read.." I said trying to lighten the situation the boy's chuckled a little Ponyboy handed out books to everyone but me and Johnny I moved off Dall's lap resting my leg's on them while I laid on my back staring at the ceiling. I didn't remember falling asleep.. but when I woke up it was dark and I was in an unfamiliar room I sat straight up starting to panic shaking a little I didnt know what happened

"Marley go back to bed it's 2 am" I heard Dallas groaned I looked over to see the back of Dallas's head I poked his back he groaned turning on the bed side lamp and rolling over he saw how scared I was he sat up

"what's wrong?" he asked slightly annoyed

"were not at the Curtis's" I said quietly he sighed

"I know babe I brought you back to my place so I could keep an eye on you" he said rather flatly I looked down

"oh..." I said he sighed and pulled me to him lying down and shutting the light off

"you need you're rest so sleep" he said softly kissing my head I leaned my head on his chest felt his bare hand on my thigh I lifted the blanket up to see I was only wearing one of Dally's shirts I smacked his chest lightly

"oh I didnt look" he said in a flat tone I rolled my eye's at him

a few week had passed I was finally getting back to my normal weight and the scar's were slowly heeling but the the more day's that passed the more Dallas got stressed out about the man showing up we'd always hide out we avoided public area's but for the most part I was forced to stay in Dally's room at bucks it was starting to get borning I sat there playing with the pillow as Dallas had his head in another book Pony had brought over

"Dally I wanna do something" I complained

"not now" he said waving me off I got up and wrapped my arms around his neck

"but Dall" I said in a baby voice

"I gotta figure something out Mar" he said annoyed I kissed his head

"but I want cuddles" I said pouting he groaned

"c'mon Mar" he said brushing me off I glared taking it as a challenge I started to kiss his neck he tried to argue but I nibbled on his causing him to squirm in his seats I smirked wrapping my arms around him running them up his chest as I left little bite marks on his neck he moaned and whipped around gently tossing me on the bed he ripped off his shirt.

We laid there Dallas now wearing nothing but boxers and me only in his shirt that he was wearing both still panting slightly our hair messed up sticking up every which ways Dallas had little love bite marks all over him and I had a hickey on my neck I curled into his nuzzling him he lit up a cancer stick and took a drag running his hand down my sides he kissed my head

"wanna go see the boys?" he asked his voice now soft and relaxed instead of hard and frustrated like before I nodded gently

"alright baby doll go get some pants on" he said with a wink I blushed and got up Dallas spanked my ass I squealed giggling shaking my head I pulled on a pair of jeans and tossed some clothes at Dallas he quickly changed wrapping an arm around my waist we headed off to the Curtis house avoiding any major roads when we got there Sodapop jumped up hugging me and spinning me around I giggled

"miss you to Soda" I said shaking my head he put me down on the couch next to Steve I gave him half a hug Two-bit was staring at the Tv his feet in there air I kicked them gently

"what no hello ? Well screw you" I said in mock hurt voice he turned around

"he- oh my god you two had sex" he yelled my eye's went wide

"how they hell do you know" Shot Dallas Steve and Sodapop burst out laughing as my face went bright red

"she's got a huge ass hickey and you got bite marks!" he said point at Dall I hid my face in my palms

"look's like y'all went with my idea anyways" Two-bit said in tone that reminded me of a full of him self Soc I tried to kick him and missed he laughed Ponyboy and Johnny walked in the door

"any luck Pone?" Sodapop asked Pony dropped down on the other couch

"not yet" he said sighing I leaned against Steve he patted my back

"we'll think of something" he said Softly I nodded

a couple months had past and It was getting harder to avoid the man every time he saw one of the guy's he'd ask them where I was he'd go to the Dx and harassed Sodapop and Steve according to Sodapop Steve's almost knocked the man's teeth out a couple times which I couldn't help but laugh at It was a Tuesday morning and Dallas had to go out he kissed my head before leaving I rolled over in the bed groaning a sudden sickness washing over me once again this week I jumped out of bed scrambling out the bedroom door to the bathroom puking into the toilet I groaned leaning against the wall

"that is getting real old" I said shaking my head

"Marley you home?" I heard Steve yell I just banged on the floor not wanting to yell I could here him run up the stairs he turned into the bedroom

"Marley?" he asked confused popping his head in

"over here" I said looking up at the ceiling

"alright.. I have to ask are you sure you're not pregnant?" Steve asked leaning in the doorway he was the first to ask it and the first to make me realize I just might be I slowly lifted my head up and looked at him wide eye

"i..I don't know.." I said quietly my eye's wide

"stay here I'll go get some tests" he said I just nodded then threw up again groaning after a while Steve came back he pulled a small box out of a bag and threw it at me

"you gotta pee on it" he said simply I scrunched my face

"that's just sick" I said he chuckled

"well it's the only way you'll know so do it" he said closing the door I mocked him silently it felt gross and weird doing my business on a stick when I was done I washed my hands leaving it on the sink and opened the door me and Steve stood there staring at it a small plus sign appeared I looked over at him

"what dose that mean.." I squeezed out

"you're pregnant" he said looking at me with mixed emotions

"I blame Two-bit for this" I crossed my arms Steve chuckled

"lets go down stairs and throw that out it's sick" he said I rolled my eye's knocking it into the trash me and Steve went down the stairs him jumping over half of them me skipping every couple of them I walked to the fridge and groaned

"there's no food" I whined I felt my self being picked up I kicked my leg's around

"put me down Steve" I groaned annoyed me gently dropped me on the couch

"you watch Mickey I'll cook" he said I nodded

"works for me" I said putting my feet up on the couch he laughed and went back in the kitchen half an hour later he came back with a plate of Bacon, Egg's hash browns and toast I licked my lips nodding a thank you to him and started to chow down on the food in front of me me and Steve hung out for a few hours before he had to leave and not soon after Dally came home I stood up immediately and bit my lip he looked me up and down suspiciously

"what's up.." he asked a little worried

"well..." I said biting my lip

"out with it" he said a little annoyed
"to put it simply Two-bit's Idea kinda happened" I said trying to make it so he wouldn't freak out his mouth hung open

"what" he said in state of shock

"I'm pregnant" I squeaked looking down suddenly I felt my self begin lifted in the air and spun around Dallas put me down kissing me firmly on the lips it was full of love and passion I kissed back when I pulled away he had a huge grin on his face and hand on my stomach

"let's tell the gang" he said grinning I nodded we walked anxiously taking our normal route as soon as I opened the door Two-bit broke out laughing

"Told you you'd take my idea!" he said still laughing my eye's went directly at Steve he rubbed his neck biting his lip

"Steve!" I screamed at him

"I'm sorry It just slipped.." he said avoiding eye contact

"what slipped?" I heard Ponyboy voice say as him Johnny and Darry walked in Dally pulled me to him grinning

"she's pregnant" he said everyone looked shocked except Johnny he looked pissed he turned on his heels and slammed the door causing it shake

"well that was awkward" stated Sodapop who was in the kitchen door way

"what crawled up his ass" I said looking at them they shrugged Ponyboy came over and hugged me happily I hugged back and sat down on the couch the boy's all chatted sat leaning my head on Dally's chest while my leg's laid across Sodapop and Steve's lap I just sat there thinking I was going to have a baby so many things were running threw my head would this be a good thing or a bad thing I wasn't sure but I knew it wouldn't be easy
