Dodger Ulric Adams <3 Delainey Jain Dodger

Codney’s first born is a daughter (the one Carmen was preggo with when this group wrapped up). Rodney is initially not pleased because he wanted a male heir (in case you forgot Rod was always a little sexist. lol) But the very second, the very millisecond, he lays eyes on her, she becomes the center of his universe. All negative feelings about not having a boy (if you recall, there was actual thought put into how to ensure they had a boy, but oops, it’s a girl!) disappear completely when he holds his Delainey Jain.

She is named after Carmen’s mama (Angel called her Lainey) and the Adams’ (Jane is Hailey’s beloved grandmother’s middle name, but they spelt it Jain after Cain)

Rodney initially tries to sideline Delainey into the Mama Greaser role while awaiting their boy (I know, let’s all sigh at Rod, ladies), but he EVENTUALLY comes into a new way of thinking that a woman can lead the Greasers (after all, Hailey did kick some major ass as Soc leader). So Delainey becomes heir apparent to the Greaser throne.

For the rest of his life, though, Rodney holds on to the differences between Greaser and Soc, instilling the battle mindset into Delainey. However, neither have a heart to interfere with love. It is no longer an offense that will get you kicked out of the Greasers. Love across town lines is fair game as long as loyalty is unaffected, spies for love are NOT allowed. Peace, however, doesn’t come as easily.

Delainey and Dodger Adams are the new Codney destiny (agreed upon by Lisa, Kay, and myself many a year ago now, though they don’t have near the drama it took for Codney to admit things LOL). They are diapers to wedding bells. He is her second, her best friend, and her equal, forever and always. One and done for this girl. They are solid as they come, I mean, look at their rolemodels...Codney and Cailey. Both pair of parents are THRILLED, even though the irony is not lost on Rod.

Rod often calls her D.J., and she goes by this nickname in her leadership as well so that new threats won’t look at her first as a woman but as a legitimate power to fear. She has her father’s pride ten times over. It would not be unheard of for Dodger to go in front of her to a meeting, only for a switcharoo after the Soc has been made a fool.

She is about 50/50 in parental traits, she has their soft heart, her mother’s way of talking sense to silly boys and nurturing nature, but that’s coupled with her father’s ego LOL. She can be a bit of a mess like them both, too.

The Crap Shack will ultimately go to her after Cal and Angel pass and she gets old enough, as Rod and Carmen will live out their lives in the shack he built for her on their wedding day. I imagine the current Adams house will go to one of the twins because Delainey wants the Crap Shack.

Sidenote in case any of you were worried, Rodney is faithful until the end of his days to Carmen. He grew out of faithfulness issues, and he never even looks twice at another woman for all his life. Delainey had a beautiful example of how a husband should treat his wife.

D.J. all grown up:

Delainey with Dodger:

Dee knocked on the door of the Adams’ house. She took a step back, waiting for less than a second before deciding she hadn’t made enough of an impact. She grinned, knocking continuously until the door swung open to reveal a familiar blonde head of hair.
