44|"Chicken and Beer"

<Chris's POV>

3 months later.

They play in front of the couch as I watch from the kitchen happily. Tibby has an obsession with grabbing Josh's cheeks. The poor kid has cheeks red as tomatoes now. Oddly, Josh never cries when Tibby does this. I giggle when Tibby falls onto Josh because she pushed to hard on his cheeks. Tibby giggles and Josh widens his little eyes.

His eyes are bright blue. When he opened them for the first time, the first thing Dally said was, "Delilah." Josh has eyes that match my mothers perfectly. That's about where my genes end though. The rest of Josh resembles Soda. I wish so badly Soda could be here watching Josh and his cousin grow up.

Skyler creeps up behind me. "Hey," I mumble, my eyes still locked on the children.

"You like watching them too?" Skyler asks quietly. I nod my head. Skyler is quiet for a few minutes before asking, "sometimes I wonder what it would of been like for them if the other baby hadn't died." I hadn't even thought about Skyler losing one of the twins. It's weird and actually upsetting to know that a baby died before it got a chance to live.

"I don't know how it would be Skyler," I answer very unsure of myself. Skyler nods and sighs.

"I guess it would of been the same, you know, just more crying or more laughter," she says glumly. My hand reaches out to her back.

"Hey, there is always time for more kids, but now is the time to marvel in the wonders of the relationships our children are building," I say with a giant smile.

"How inspirational, now come on, Dally said everyone is at my place tonight," Skyler informs me.

"Ahh that's where Pony and Darry ran off to, alright then let's go," I say. Skyler grabs my baby bag from the kitchen table and hands it to me as I go to pick up Josh and Skyler reaches for Tibby. We walk out onto the sidewalk and walk gracefully all the way to Dally and Skyler's. When we open the door I immediately start laughing.

Two-Bit is in his underwear dancing on the counter while Dally leans against the fridge with a cigarette and a beer in his hands, clearly wasted. Steve lays on the ground with a mix of foods covering him as he struggles to get up without his crutches. Pony stands laughing at Steve and calling him names as Steve curses at Pony. Johnny is running around the living room shirtless looking for something as Darry stands in front of the stove cooking dinner. Skyler sighs and laughs a bit. She takes Josh from my arms and sits the little ones on the chair in the corner of the living room. "Well hello," I shout giddily over the old radio that's blaring and the TV that is playing some show involving a hot girl and a guy from a tackle shop. I don't even wanna know so I don't ask. Two-Bit's eyes widen at the sight of me.

"CHRISTINA! We've been waiting for you!" He shouts jumping off the counter and coming over to me. He plants a long drunk kiss on my cheeks after stumbling over to me.

"Watch it Kieth she's taken," Skyler says playfully as she walks from the kids to Dally. Dally's hand slithers around her waist and he pulls her tight to his hip. Two drags me to the kitchen as I laugh hysterically. By the time I'm in the kitchen Steve had gotten up and found his crutches. Unfortunately the crutches help him run and hit Pony because he was making fun of him. Johnny found his shirt and has begun chasing Steve yelling at him to cool down.

"What's for dinner Dar Bear?" Two asks.

"Chicken and beer," Darry says and then woots. I laugh again as Steve, Pony, and Johnny stand next to me. "And it's ready, so go sit," Darry demands. We all sprint to the kitchen table like giddy children and wait with our silverware ready. Darry places the plate on the table and we all have a serving before he can even sit down. "Jesus breathe guys." I laugh as I stuff a giant piece in my mouth.

"You eat like your six," Dally says, slurring the s in six. I roll my eyes playfully. Before I finish dinner a baby starts crying. Skyler and I both jump up at the first whimper to see which baby it is. The guys laugh at our instincts and Dally drunkingly tries to figure out where Skyler went. Must of moved to fast for his delayed vision. It turns out Josh was crying, of coarse this only made Tibby cry so now we have two babies with ear piercing screams. Dally covers his ears.

"Not helping the headache hun," Dally mumbles to Skyler.

"Well when you get boobs that babies bite on whenever they please, and hair that babies pull, and a vagina that pushes the baby out then I will take your complaints seriously." Skyler snarls as she goes into her and Dally's bedroom. I follow her with Josh since I need to feed him and I don't feel like doing that in front of six guys.

When I get in the room I see Skyler putting Tibby in her crib with a pacifier. I quickly begin to feed Josh and once he has fallen asleep I plant him on the bed. "Skyler how can I help?" I ask the girl who is looking very upset.

"I'm going to need your opinion," she says before getting up and walking to her dresser. She pulls out tight jeans and a red flannel. She changes into the jeans and then ties up the flannel so it exposes a bit of her stomach and leaves the top buttons undone. Therefore exposing the cleavage that was enlarged because of her pregnancy. I smirk.

"I like it, what about hair and make up?" I ask with the smirk still plastered on my face. Skyler ends up leaving her hair down and does some pretty dark make up with red lip stick.

"Is it good?" She asks confidently.

"It's great, but what about shoes?" I ask. Skyler sighs.

"I only have one pair of heels and I hate wearing them."

"Just do it," I plead. I have to practically push her to her shoes and she eventually puts on her red heels. I clap my hands together. "Perfect. I know why she's doing this. To be honest I totally support her. As far as I know she believes Dally is bored with her because they haven't been getting much action lately. This will definitely poke that balloon. In fact I'd even make a pass at her. "Now go on Ms. Hills." Skyler smiles and then begins to walk into the kitchen then stops, out of eyesight of the guys. I walk behind her and she motions for me to listen.

<Dally's POV>

With a hazey mind I struggle to filter my words with the guys. Eventually I just give up and say whatever comes to my mind. "I just don't know what's going on with her lately," I start.

"Well she did just have a kid," Darry defends. I let my head fall.

"Ya but I mean the whole reason I fell in love with her is because she had this sort of spark you know, she was tough and hard to get to, now all she does is cry and take care of Tibby," I explain. Steve rolls his eyes at me. I glare at him.

"Maybe when Tibby is a little older it'll be better," Johnny says trying to calm the tension.

"But the thing is, I love Skyler Elizabeth Hills, the real Skyler that defended herself and didn't have a care in the world, I don't love this shadow of Skyler, this Skyler is so put together, yet all she does is fall apart and cry and complain and when she isn't crying she is tending to Tibby and loving her while I am forced to watch her in her fucking ratty clothes coo at an infant, she has lost the spark that made me fall in love with her," I finish speaking and they all look at me angrily. The clicking of heels comes from the end of the hallway and Skyler stands there all done up. When I look at her expression I begin to worry. She heard me say everything. Even drunk I know I've fucked up.

"It's nice to know you care, you know that's a really special feeling, I fucking slit my wrists once a week ever since I was sixteen, I lost my parents, I had an unplanned pregnancy with my boyfriend who refuses to marry me and now I'm being totally disregarded and practically being called a bore to your sex life, well my apologies Dallas for being a fucking disappointment, you can go right ahead and fuck yourself, I'm done with your shit, see you later asshole," she screams.

<Skyler's POV>

I walk as fast as possible out of the house and into the cold night. Dallas yells behind me, but I don't stop walking away. "You can't just run from all your fucking problems coward!" Dallas yells, now outside a few yards behind me. I stop in my tracks and turn around quickly. Nothing is stopping me from blowing up so I do. I blow up more than a thousand grenades.

Getting right up in Dallas's face I begin to scream, "I am not a fucking coward and I am not running, I'm giving you what you want you worthless piece of shit, I'm out of your life douche!" Dallas looks at me surprised and then gets angry at me again. I mentally prepare myself for his words. My heart is beating out of my chest and my fists are clenched in anger.

"I love you Skyler, but you never make time for us," Dallas complains.

"I'm sorry for being a good fucking mother, we're done dickhead," I say before sticking up the middle finger and strutting away with Dallas speechless behind me. Not a single part of me regrets what I just did. He deserved it and its not my fault I realized I needed some responsibility. Now that we are done I decide to take some time to find another guys and try some new things.

With the only sound coming from the clicking of my heels, I walk all the way to a bar that seems to be pretty packed. I walk in confidently and find a seat at the crowded bar. After ordering a beer I notice who is sitting next to me. It's Rob, the guy I met at the bar when I broke up with Dally the first time(chapter 32). "Rob hey it's been a while," I say while tapping his shoulder. He turns to me and smiles.

"Skyler right," he guesses and I nod, "where's that guy that broke my nose last time we met?" He questions.

"Out of my life," I say smirking. Rob smiles as well.

"Well then, what do you say we go to my buddy's house, he's having a few pals over," Rob suggests. I nod and then we exit the bar and enter the cold dark night.

A/N I hate everyone

Just kidding I love you guys, but I hate almost everyone at my school so ya. Skyler and Dally are a fucking wreck and Soda and Lena still aren't back. Poor fucking Chris Pony and Darry. The shit they take is real.

Stay gold💛
