Ok so I was just planning on doing this in two parts but I gotta make a third guys!!! Will have the third up as soon as I can. And a big thanks to MugglebornJediWolf for editing.

It's been 10 months since I left tulsa. I really miss the gang but I had to go. A month ago today I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Jonathan Tucker Y/F/L/N, but he just goes by Johnny. It's really supposed to be Winston, but I gave up all rights of the kid to Y/F/N.
I would have come right after but I had to work off all the weight I had gained from the baby. I didn't want any of the guys to be able to tell unless i told them. I was really tired from the long drive but it was still worth it. I had a few pictures of little Johnny with me. I had a few that I would show the gang and one of them that I wouldn't. The one I wouldn't show them was when he was born. I had pictures of him by himself that day though. My car was low on gas so I pulled into the DX. I pulled up to the pump and soda walked over. I don't think he knew  it was me but he did as soon as I talked to him.
"Hey Soda. Hows it goin?" I asked him. He started to reply with fine but then he realized who it was. He smiled real big then remembered the terms we were on when I left. Steve knew my car inside and out so he was running out as soon as he seen it. "Fine," Soda replied harshly. Steve was at my car at this time.
"Y/N you're home!!!!" he yelled with a smile. "Hows Y/F/N and the baby? What's the little guys name?" Steve asked. "Slow down Stevie," I said with a laugh. Soda was filling up the car so he wasn't paying attention. Steve chuckled too. "His name is Jonathan Tucker Y/F/L/N," I told him.
"Y/F/N has always liked those names. Her husband died in the war so she's all by herself now," I told him. Soda snapped his head my way when I said the baby's name though. I guess Soda knew about the whole Dallas thing. "Do you have pictures?" Steve asked. "Right here," I told him, and handed the pictures over to him.
The one I wasn't going to show them was in the sun vizor.
Steve flipped through the pictures looking at them and laughing at the cute little baby. "The kid's cute," Steve told me, handing the pictures back. "Yea he is," I replied.
"All done Y/N," Soda said putting the nozzle back in the pump. "You going to the house?" he asked quietly. "Yea I'm going back to the house. What time do you guys get off? I'll give yall a ride home," I told them. "We get off in five minutes. Soda can go close up now though," Steve said looking over at Soda. Soda walked into the store part and shut off lights and closed doors and locked them. He walked back out and got in the back seat of the car while Steve got in the front. Steve and I talked the whole way home and Soda stayed quiet.
"Hey Y/N let me see those pictures," Soda said finally. I handed the pictures to him. "Y/F/N is really lucky. She must be overjoyed," he said.
"She is."
"You said her husband died in the war. When?" Soda questioned. "A month after I got there," I told him he nodded. I think he was finally starting to warm up to me again. Maybe. "So how's that gang been?" I asked. "Good. Pone's got all A's on his report card." Soda informed. "Cool," I said pulling into the driveway. I shut the car off and got out. I left my bags in the car.
Everyone was in the living room when we walked in. Johnny, Darry, and Two-Bit all jumped up to give me a hug. Pony sat there not moving a muscle. "The prodigal sister has returned. Jump for joy...!" Pony mumbled sarcastically. Clearly Soda and Ponyboy are the only two who haven't gotten over me leaving.
"Hows Y/F/N and the baby?" Darry asked. "Oh they're great! She had a baby boy named Jonathan Tucker Y/F/L/N," I told them.
"You have pictures?" Johnny asked. "Yea in the car. I'll go get them," I said,going back out to get them. I came back in and Pony and Soda went silent. 
"Here he is!" I said, handing the pictures to Darry. Instead of leaving the one of me and little Johnny in the car where it was fair game for the guys to find it, I put it in my back pocket. They guys all looked at the pictures except for Soda and Pony. Neither one of them seemed to amused by any of it.
I need to do something to make it up to them i just don't know how. We used to be so close and now they won't even look at me without getting mad.
"Hows her husband? What's he think of his son?" Darry asked with a girn. "He, uh...he died in the war. About a month after I got there," I said. "That's unfortunate," Pony muttered sarcastically from the couch. Dallas finally spoke up.
"Where'd she get those names for the kid?" Dallas asked. "Y/F/N has always loved those names. Even when we were kids, she said that if she ever had a baby boy thats what she was gonna name him," I said. That actually got me thinking. To back when we were kids. Some would still call me a kid because of my age but I'm really not a kid mentally. I've seen too much and done to much to still be a kid.
"Hey Y/N you want some cake?" Darry asked, snapping me out of my flashback. "I sure do! It's been awhile since I've had a good slice of cake man," I said running to the kitchen. They all laughed and followed me to the kitchen.  Even pony and soda came. I guess they just can't resist some good cake.
"I gotta call Y/F/N real quick and tell her I made it home," I said, walking over to the phone as they got cake out. They all nodded. I dialed her number and waited.
"Hello?" Y/F/N said into the phone. "Hey just wanted to tell ya that I made it home," I told her.
"Awsome. How's the guys doing?"
"Good. Hows little Johnny?" I asked her. "He's asleep right now." she said with a laugh. She must have looked over at him. "Then he's good," I said with a laugh. She laughed a little too, then Johnny started crying. "Uh-oh, I gotta go." she said. "I'll talk to ya later. Bye!" I said before hanging up the phone.
"Alright give me some chocolate cake!!" I said. I was happy to be back home but part of me wanted to be in Tennessee with Y/F/N and the baby. Darry handed me a piece of cake and I took it happily. I saw that Sodapop and Pony had left the room, but the rest of the guys stayed. We laughed and joked. "Let me see one of those pictures of that baby again," Darry said. I handed him a picture of little Johnny. "Ya know... He looks like Dallas, a little bit," Darry said, looking from the picture of the kid to Dallas.
"Because the kid is Dallas's," Sodapop said from the doorway.
"What?" all the guys except for Dallas shouted. "I've held that secret for 10 months. The kid is not Y/F/N's. Its Y/N and Dallas's!" Soda yelled. I looked over at Dallas. "Tell me that's not the truth." Darry said, holding his fingers on his forehead.
"It's the truth," Pony said, walking up beside his older brother. "Thanks for the help you two!" I said sarcastically. The phone started ringing. "I'll get it," I said getting up and going to the living room.
"Hello!" I said into the phone. "Hey Y/N, I can talk now," Y/F/N said. "Good, cause I don't want to go back into the other room!" I said, as I heard a loud bang coming from the kitchen.
"Why?"
"Sodapop and Ponyboy. They were mad at me when I got here, but then they told the gang," I explained.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Well, I think Darry was starting to put the pieces together anyway. He said little Johnny looked like Dallas." I told her as I heard a series of shouts and a few more loud bangs from the kitchen. "When then, is it a bad time to tell you that I was planning on moving back to Tulsa?" Y/F/N said. "No, it's not actually. I really wish you were here now," I told her. "Y/N! WE NEED YOU IN HERE!!!" Dallas yelled. "This can't be good. They need me in the kitchen, I gotta go," I told her.
"Yea I'll talk to ya later, bye," Y/F/N said as we both hung up the phone.
I walked into the kitchen. "Y/N!!" Dallas yelled when I walked in, "a little help please?!" Pony and Soda had him in a headlock while Darry was getting ready to punch him. "STOP!!!" I yelled. Darry stopped and looked at me. "Let him go! Now! You three should know better!!" I scolded. They reluctantly let Dallas go, and he quickly walked over beside me.
"Listen to me and listen close. I chose to be with Dallas!! It was my choice to! Dallas is not the bad guy! If you're gonna be mad at someone, be mad at me. I didn't think of the end result ok! I didn't even think about that happening!!" I yelled. Darry was as red as a fire truck. He had a vein popping out of his head. He looked like he wanted to scream, or wanted to yell, or something, but he didn't. He just turned on his heels and walked out the door. Soda and Pony both went to their rooms. The rest of the gang just stood there with their mouths open. "Close your mouths or you'll swallow a fly." i threatened them. Dallas chuckled.
"Well I might as well tell y'all that Y/F/N and the baby are moving back to Tulsa," I told them. "What's this in your back pocket?" Dallas asked, grabbing the picture out of my back pocket. "Nothing, give it here!" I protested. Dallas is way taller than me, so he could hold the picture up high enough that I couldn't get a hold of it. "Is this when Johnny was born?" Dal asked. "Yea," I murmured. "That's my son..." Dallas said, the realizations suddenly hitting him. I nodded with a smile on my face.
A couple hours later, there was a knock at the door, so I ran to it to get it. It was Y/F/N and little Johnny. "Oh my gosh, you guys must have started driving right after I called you!" I said upon seeing them. I grabbed little Johnny out of the car seat she had him in. "Hey, Dal come here. There's someone I want you to meet!" I called Dallas into the living room. He was followed by Steve, Two-Bit and Johnny.  "Who is it?" he asked before he had seen the baby I was holding in my arms. "Y/N, I've been thinking, and if you and Dallas want, you guys can have custody of him," Y/F/N  said, as I cooed to the baby. I looked up at Dallas who was right behind me.
"Do you want to?" I asked him. He nodded, taking the baby out of my hands. Y/F/N laughed and knew the answer. Little Johnny started to cry when Two-Bit held him. Soda and Pony walked back in when they heard him crying.
"Awww baby, don't cry," Two-Bit whined, bouncing him around. "Let me see him?" Soda asked hesitantly.  As soon as he took the baby from Two-Bit, little Johnny opened his eyes and stopped crying.
"Not fair!" Two-Bit joked. The baby started to cry again and Soda freaked out. "He's just a little hungry that's all," I told them, taking the baby away from Soda. Y/F/N already had a bottle made. "Thanks!" I said, taking the bottle from her. "Can I feed him?" Dal asked.  I think he was scared of hurting him. "But I wanted to!" Two-bit whined. "Here dal. And two-bit, i'm sure he will be hungry again, I told him. Y/F/N laughed a little.
Dal looked over at me to see if he was doing it right. I nodded. He just kept looking at the little baby he was holding in his arms.  About halfway through the bottle, I told Dal to take it out of his mouth. "Let me have the baby, I have to burp him," I told Dallas.  "But it's so mean to take the bottle from 'im." Dallas argued. "Dal it won't hurt him to take his bottle for 2 seconds," I said, pulling the bottle away from the baby.  He started to cry. "Heyyyy. That's enough." I told the baby soothingly. I put him on my shoulder and patted his back till he burped. "Now you want the rest of your bottle don't ya baby?" I crooned. I fed him the rest of his bottle and was just rocking  him when Darry walked back in. He did a double take.
"Y/F/N?" he asked. "Hi Darry, how are you?" she asked him. "I haven't killed Dallas Winston yet, so that's good," he said, and she giggled at him.  Darry couldn't help but crack a grin when she laughed. Everyone knows that they have both always liked each other, they have just never admitted it. Yes, she has been married, but that's because she left. For the whole ten months I was there, she talked the most about Darrel Curtis. 
"Dallas come help me lay Johnny down," I said standing up. He nodded and followed me into my room. Dallas and I were just as close now as we were when before I left. I created a little bed for Johnny out of pillows on top of my bed, and put him in the middle. "I'm gonna go grab the monitor," I told Dal, walking to the other room. I went back to where Dallas and little Johnny were at and set up one baby monitor on the bedside table.  I hooked the other one onto Dallas belt loop. "I think the baby will be alright now," I told him, shutting off the light. Dallas followed me.
