Charlie's P.O.V. (2 years later)

I bounce baby Jane on my hip, she's not my baby, but she is my flower girl. That's right! I'm getting married! I take one last glance at myself. I'm wearing a long white sweetheart dress that has a sparkly belt then it poofs out. My make-up is naturally done and my hair  is done in loose curls with a headband to match the dress in it. I'm wearing small and simple jewelry. "Ready baby Jane?"

"Flowers," she giggles as I hand her a basket of flowers.

The music starts and I walk out right after baby Jane watching her throw flowers. I avoid contact with Caleb nervous about everything. I wonder where Dallas is in his life. I wonder what would of happened if we would of stayed together.

Dally's P.O.V.

Darry and Liz (his  new girl) are having the gang over. Everybody is married, everybody, but me. I grab my little two year old Claire, "Da-Da!"

I kiss the top of her head sadly knowing that she's never gonna have a mom, "yea princess, I'm Da-Da."

"We see Uncle Pepsi and Auntie Daisy today?" She babbles with a smile.

"Yea, you know Auntie Daisy and Uncle Pepsi are gonna have a baby along with Auntie Del and Uncle Stevie although Auntie Del is already nine months pregnant," I smile as we start to walk out the door. As we walk into the house the whole gang is already their with their spouse. "Hey Dally," Daisy walks over to me hugging me her baby bump ever so noticeable. She's only three months pregnant. "How's life?"

"Same as always. I can't party, I don't love anybody, but princess, and I'm a single dad," I sigh.

She hugs me tightly, "I'm sorry Dal."

"Hey Dally," Delilah smiles as she goes to get up.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Steve speaks nervously. He grabs her hand pulling her back down. "Careful love you have a baby in there."

"I know," she chuckles.

"Tobwey!" Claire giggles as she waddles over to him. 

"Clai," Toby smiles his small smile as they both giggle.
*****************************************************************************************************
"Baby!" Delilah jumps up screaming.

"What?" I ask her letting out a low chuckle.

"Baby!" She yells once again.

"Yes there are babies here," I chuckle.

"No the baby is coming....NOW!" She yells.

"Oh my god!"Daisy screams. "Breath. Just breath."
*****************************************************************************************************
I just sit at the steps of the hospital as the chaos goes does. A few tears roll down my cheeks. God! I remember the day Charlie left me here. I remember all the fights we've had. I look over at Claire who is sitting down on the steps with Toby eating ice cream. I remember her love for Claire and the girls.  God! I miss her! I miss her so damn much! I remember her smile, her laugh, her hair, her eyes. I remember everything. I remember the love she gave me. I remember everything about her. I'm still madly in love her. God! I'll never love again. I still miss everything about her every single day I am alive.

I remember the day we lost Dez. I remember the sadness and the tears. We all thought is was Del we lost. I was sobbing, Daisy ran off, and Stevie was lost. Then she just walked out of our life, well Dez at least. She just walked off never saying goodbye.I still miss her. I still miss her everyday of my life. I remember the day we lost Dez perfect in my mind. It was Darry, Ali, Ponyboy, and Dez herself who called the hospital. Del had cancer at that time and she died from it, but Dez saved her by giving Del her heart. I'll forever be in debt to her and I'll never  be able to pay her back.

I remember the day I found out Daisy was depressed. They brought her here after she tried to kill herself. I remember the call I got that day. I remember sitting on the steps smoking a weed as I wondered how everything fell apart. I remember rushing her and seeing her scars. She was asleep in bed and when she woke up she had a fight with Soda then me. That's when I went outside to smoke a weed. I sat here with Claire as I cried like every time before. 

It feels everything that has went wrong in life has gone wrong here. Daisy walks outside sitting next to me and she smiles weakly, "in one month I'll be eighteen Dally."

I chuckle, "in a few months I'll be twenty-two."

She looks back at the hospital and sighs, "did you ever wonder how everything that has ever wrong in our life has gone wrong at this very place? How did it all come down to one place?"

"Not everything," I remind her even though it seems true. "Our family didn't go wrong here."

She pulls me into a hug, "I love Dallas."

"I love you too Daisy," I smile as Steve rushes out side. 

"He's here!" He yells and Daisy runs in.

She turns to look at me before continuing, "you coming?"

I shake my head, "I'm fine right here. You go."

Charlie's P.O.V.

I stare into the eyes of the man I've spent years convincing myself I love when really I still love Dallas Winston. The priest asks, "do you take Charlotte Ann Jacobs to be your lofty wedded wife?"

"I do take Charlotte Ann Jacobs to be my lofty wedded wife," he smiles at me.

"And do you take Caleb John Black to be you lofty wedded husband?" He asks me.

"I do take Dallas James Winston-" I stop there looking around at a ton of people with their mouths open. "I mean Ca-"

"Dallas?" Caleb asks. "Dallas Winston? The name you said the night I met you?"

"I'm sorry," I hand him the flowers pulling off my heels. "This is wrong."

"How?" He asks. "How is this wrong, my love?"

"I don't love you," I admit and everybody gasp.

He shakes his head tears rolling down my cheeks, "no, you love me."

"No, I don't," I speak softly. "I'm sorry."

"You love me! You have to love me and you have to marry me! I'm gonna make you marry me!" He yells. 

"I'm sorry," I speak fast as I rush out of the church waving down the closest taxi. I look at the driver as I speak. "I need a ride to Tulsa."

"Where?" He asks. "Where in Tulsa."

"The DX!" I speak swiftly it's the closest place to the Curtis house.
*****************************************************************************************************
"Thank you!" I yell as I throw a fifty at him. I look at the DX and smile. "I'm home," I whisper to myself. I sit on the curb and just take everything in. That's when I release that my worst nightmare could happen.

What if Dallas Winston is married or seeing somebody else and my baby girl Claire is calling another girl mommy?

Okay, sorry it took so long to update. I hope you guys liked it. The book is almost over! I'm thinking about making a separate book just for Charlie and Dallas because, this book was focused on a lot of other things too. What do you guys think? Give me thoughts on the book idea and title ideas if you would like. Stay gold. Do it for Johnny!
