Del's P.O.V.

"Help me!" I yell as I hear everybody screaming about how Lacey is in labor. I put my hand on my heart as I scream, "help me! Steve! Dallas! Charlotte! Daisy! Desiree!" Dez is always here in a flash. Where is she? Where is my best friend? "Desiree! Alison!" I look over to see a red button and I slam it as hard as I can making a loud bang. Nurses come rushing in screaming things I don't understand, poking and prodded at me as they yell to each other. "Wait!" I yell, but nothing. "WAIT!" Time freezes and everybody stops, "where's my family?"

"Aren't you Delilah Winston?" One of them asks.

I cock my head to the side, "why?"

"You're supposed to be dead," one of them speaks. "We thought you were dead."

"Then why'd you come rushing in?" I scoff.

Another nurse chuckles lowly, "to try and save you. We thought your family would be in here with you. Who gave you their heart?"

Dally's P.O.V.

Lacey gets rushes out with Two-bit following her leaving us with each other down five. Daisy ran out, Lacey went into labor, Two-bit went with Lacey, Del could be dead, and Dez is saving Del. I turn to Alison putting a hand on her back, "are you okay Alison?"

She looks up at me with red puffy eyes and tears rolling down her already tear stained face, "okay? I could be loosing either one or both of my sister. What makes you think I could be okay?" She takes a breathe before sighing, "I'm sorry Dally. This must be harder for you. I mean you raised Del and with everything Daisy is also going through. I didn't mean it."

"It's okay kid," I smile a sad smile. "We're all snappy and saying stupid things. No need to be sorry." Charlie touches my shoulder slightly. I spin around pecking her lips as I touch her wet cheeks wiping away tears as they stream down her cheeks. As I pull away I see her bouncing Claire on her hip. "Hey love."

She shuts her eyes as tears gush out of them, "we need to talk."

"What's wrong?" I ask as she hands me Claire. 

"Lets just go outside," she grabs my hand lightly as she pulls me outside. "Dallas, we need some time apart."

"What?" I ask her.

"I can't do this." she sighs as she sobs. "I can't go through not right now."

"Go through what? What am I doing?" I yell at her.

She looks away with tears in her eyes, "I can't stand back and watch our family fall apart. I have to go. I'll be back I promise."

"What did I do so wrong?" I sob.

"Nothing," she goes to grab my hand, but I pull them away. "Dallas please, understand....Please."

"NO! I understand. I understand completely. Delilah is fighting for her life, we have a kid together, Daisy just got out of a mental hospital, our family is spread through out three different homes and you're leaving. You know what? GO! RUN! You're a coward. You run when things get hard. You run when things change. So run, but don't come back," I snap.

She turns away walking away as I bounce a sobbing Claire. She turns around showing me her tear stained face as she lets out a loud sob, "I love you Dallas." That's the last thing she says before hoping in her car and driving away.

I sit down on the curb with my baby girl as we both sob. Daisy walks up sitting next to me. I look at her noticing the tears rolling down her cheeks, the red blood shot puffy eyes, the blotchy red face, but for the first time I notice the scars on her arms from when she tried to kill herself. She looks over to me, "falling apart too."

"Our whole family is," I sigh as she grabs Claire. "Charlie's gone."

"How?" She asks crying slightly. 

I sigh, "she's done with this family. I don't blame her, she can get out. I would if I could."

"Is she dead?" Daisy lets out a loud sob and I know she's talking about Del.

"We're not sure," I admit. "Dez is trying to give Del her heart, but a lot of things could go wrong. So I don't know."

Del's P.O.V.

Steve lays in the bed with me holding me tightly as we cry. I think that's all we can do right now. The whole gang is grieving over Desiree. I feel bad for Darry, he's the one who told me. Steve kissing my neck as he whispers in my ear, "marry me?"

"Yes," I mumble lowly before I loudly cry out. "I want to marry you. I want to be with you. I'm sorry, I didn't before. I want to live with you and be with you. I love you."

He grabs my cheeks pull my lips into his as we sob. The kiss is full of sadness, regret, and grief. As we pull away he speaks, "lets just run away and elope. Lets get you out of here, you can leave whenever. Lets just go."

I nod my head as he wipes away my tears, "okay. Lets go. I just have to see Dal, Claire, Charlie, and Daisy."

He goes to get them and a few seconds later they all appear minus Charlie. Dally smiles, "hi baby girl. How are you?"

"I'm doing okay," I sigh as a few tears spill out of my cheeks. "Where's Charlie?"

"I'll tell you later," Dally speaks.

Steve's P.O.V.

Del laughs as she climbs into my car running out of the chapel, "I can't believe we just did that!"

I peck her lips happily, "I love you."

"I love you too!" She smiles as we drive off to a hotel.

We walk into the room to see a red heart bed with rose petals on it and a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice. She smiles walking over to the bottle and popping it as she laughs, "popping bottles!"

I put my hand on the small of her back scooping her up into a kiss, "I love you."

"I love you too," she giggles pouring two glasses of champagne. 

"Are you cancer free?" I ask as we plop down on the bed.

Her smiles grows as she giggles, "thanks to my guardian angel Dez. I miss her though."

I grab her hand and squeeze it to let her know I'm there for her before kissing her forehead, "it's gonna be okay."

"I know," she mumbles as she cuddles up to me. "I just want to be with you Steve." She presses her lips against mine pulling a way for a second whispering so close to my lips I can feel the warmth of her voice, "I need you." She starts  pawing at my clothes until we're both naked.

Del's P.O.V.

I wake up the next morning still naked next to my husband. I peck his lips waking him up, "good morning my handsome husband."

"Good morning my beautiful wife," he smiles. "Ready for the ride back to Tulsa."

I groan loudly, "can't we just stay here forever and get away."

He chuckles lowly, "I wish we could too."

"We have to pack," I sigh as I start throwing clothing into a bag and Steve does the same.
*****************************************************************************************************
Steve and I walk into the Curtis house and Dally stands up swiftly, "where have you been Delilah?"

I smile as I grab Steve's hand, "we went away."

"Why?" Daisy asks with a mouth full of food. 

I smile even wider as I pull Steve and I's hand in the are showing the rings, "we're married!"

Okay, this chapter started really sad, but ended really happy! The next chapter is centered around a different couple! I think there's gonna be like five-ten more chapters which compared to all my chapters is only a short ways away. Well I hope you guys are excited for the ending! Stay Gold. Do it for Johnny!
