"Ready love?" Soda yells.

"Almost," I shout back to him.

"Shut up, will ya?" I hear Dally.

I waddle down stairs looking down at my big belly and I smile when I see the gang, "let's go! Only Soda and Lexi can come into the room with me by the way."

The whole gang sigh and Steve says, "why can't we?"

"Uh it's weird," I say in a duh tone.

"Whatever," Two rolls his eyes.

"Yea, and don't upset me, I'm carrying baby Dakota! So what gender do ya'll want?" I ask.

"A girl," Lexi coos.

"Boy to teach how to be a cool greaser," Dally smirks evilly.

"I don't really care," Soda smiles.

"Girl to protect," Steve growls. "No soc will ever harm little Dakota."

"Girl," Darry nods.

"Boy to play football with," Two smiles.

"Either gender," Pony shrugs. "I just can't wait to see lil' Dakota out and about."

"Either too," Johnny smiles as he kisses my bump. "Right baby Dakota, Uncle Johnny don't care what gender you are."

"I have to say either too, Dakota, is gonna be my little bundle of joy weather a boy or a girl," I smile touching my stomach ever so slightly.

"I'm excited to finally get to know the gender of my baby," Soda says happily.

"Same," I smile grabbing his hand.

"We're here," Darry announces and everybody piles out. Sodapop helps me down and supports me as I walk. He's such a gentleman.

We all sit in the waiting room chatting about Dakota. The gang is being so supportive over this. I love it. We all laugh about the future with Dakota and all of our future kids when I felt Dakota kick for the first time. I gasp, "Dakota's kicking," 

I grab Soda's hand and place it where Dakota's kicking, "oh my god! I just felt my kid kick. That's my baby."

"Yes it is," I smile back as we share this moment.

"Dylan Jueggers," the nurse calls.

"C'mon Soda. Lexi," I call for them and they follow, Soda supporting me once again.

I lay down where I always do and wait for the doctor to come in as the nurse asks questions. I smile as she leaves and the doctor comes in, "how are you Dylan?"

"Good, really good," I smile.

"You seem happy, that's good," he nods.

"Yea, that's 'cause Dakota was just kicking," I inform him.

"That's good, Dakota should start at about five months which it is," he smiles as he lays me down. "As I say every other time, this is gonna be really cold, so get ready."

"Okay," I say as I take off my shirt.

He grabs the cold blue jelly and rubs it all over my big tummy and starts the ultra sound, "what do we have here?" 

"Is something wrong?" I ask concerned.

"No, it's just you two have a boy," he smiles. I look at the picture and let him explain. I smile as I hold Lexi and Soda's hand. He's my baby. Dakota is my baby boy. "Everything seems normal, you three can go and spread the happy news. Congratulations."

"Thanks doc," I smile as we walk out of the room. I look around the waiting room to see an anxious gang, "hello boys."

"What's the gender?" They all yell as they run over to me.

"It's a boy," I smile.

"Oh my god! We have another boy in the gang boys," Two smiles.

"A lil' man," Dally laughs.

"A mini Sodapop," Darry and Pony laugh in unison.

"Another guy to stuff his face in cake," Steve sighs. "Eh, I'll love him anyways."

"He'll go on walks with Pony and I," Johnny whispers.

The whole gang goes to a pizza place for a celebration.
