"Honey, you okay?" Darry whispered

"Yeah, of course!" She replied as she walked over to start washing dishes, and she was off for the rest of the week on sick leave because she had a miscarriage a few weeks prior and Darry said she was working herself to the bone. Darry's eyes shifted to the gang who were easy dropping, he shooed them away and told Soda to tell Pony he was grounded, and they needed to talk. "Dollface...you've been cleaning that same dish this whole time..." Darry mumbled as he hugged her from behind focusing his grip on her stomach.

"Im a failure dar...."

"No, you're not... we don't need to be popping out kids like everyone....! You know he didn't mean that..."

"I know that.... doesn't make it not true......"

"If you want a baby, we can have one..."

"Darry we had five and I lost them all...... every single one of my babies...." she whispered as tears slowly started to fall

He kissed her neck, he didn't know what to say "I love you...I wish you would stop thinking about this stuff..." Darry mumbled into her neck. She sighed, "I haven't been thinking about it......." she mumbled relaxing into her husband, leaning her head back to look at the ceiling, "Y/n Curtis....you've been crying yourself to sleep every night..." he mumbled, her breath hitched as she shut her eyes hard, she thought he had been asleep when she cried, she always checked, "I don't wanna worry you...I'll be fine...promise...." she whispered, he sighed, "I know....love ya doll have a good day..." he whispered as he laid two more kisses on her neck and left.

She didn't do much that day she cleaned and lay on the couch crying, she made dinner, and went to bed. She woke up hours later to the sound of Darry yelling at Ponyboy. She got up and walked into Soda's room to find him pacing. They made eye contact as she opened the next door that led directly to Ponyboy's room, and Soda sat on his bed, "Darrell, he has school in the morning, let him sleep..." She mumbled half asleep herself. Ponyboy sat at the edge of his bed with Darry standing in front of him, pony continued to look at the floor as she talked, Darry walked past her to thier room and sat on the bed.

"Night Ponyboy, get some rest," she whispered as she walked up to him and kissed his head before walking out and closing the door. She looked at Soda who looked like a nervous wreck, "You get some rest as well Soda. Let me handle those two..." she whispered as she walked over to hug him, he let out a long sigh. She let him go and squeezed his hand, "Are you okay?" Soda asked squeezing her hand back, "Yeah sweetie.... don't worry about me..." She whispered woefully, she walked towards their room, and closed the door. She walked up to Darry and sat on his leg which was shaking and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her torso. "You're being too hard on him..." she murmured lazily after a few minutes, he hummed softly.

The next morning, Ponyboy was found in the living room waiting for her. She had always gotten up around this time to get everyone ready for the day, "Hey pony? Why are you up?" She asked as she walked up to the couch and sat beside him. She wrapped her arm around him and brought him into a side hug, "I'm so sorry about what I said... not just cause Darry told me to apologize..." Ponyboy said she turned a little so she could bring him into a full hug, "I was never mad at you sweetheart but we need to work on that temper...hmm?" She whispered, softly rubbing his back, and he chuckled as he let tears fall onto her shirt.

She hummed to calm him, and she kissed his hair

"Wanna help me make breakfast?"

He nodded letting her go to whip his eyes. She chuckled as she got up and walked into the kitchen, Ponyboy helped her cook and by the time Darry walked out to find her making coffee, Darry hugged his wife from behind and looked over at Ponyboy who was standing awkwardly. "You apologized?" Darry questioned, Ponyboy nodded. "We aren't mad Ponyboy, we are all going through a lot right now but that is no excuse to behave that way okay?" Y/n said, Ponyboy nodded again. She was right, they were gonna get through it, she just didn't know where to start.
