Pony had to be held back as Georgia was rushed to the hospital.
"what's the fuss?" Two asked in a groggy voice.
"SHE'S ALIVE!" Pony screamed and the whole gang got up, screaming.
Steve had tears of joy running down his face and the boys all ran at full speed to the hospital.
they bursted in.
"Georgia Randle?" a doctor came out just as they arrived.
"that's me." both Pony and Steve said in unison.
they looked at each other.
"you ain't a Randle yet, kid." he said and smiled to Pony.
Pony understood and waited for the seconds to come as the doctor told them what happened.
"Pony, come here." Steve said and Pony quickly got up.
the whole gang had their eyes pinned to their members.
"was Georgia pregnant?" Steve asked and Pony's expression dropped.
"she was pregnant?" Pony deadpanned and his tongue felt dry.
the doctor spoke up, "not to correct, but, was. the baby was lost in the accident. are you the father?" the doctor asked.
Pony figured he was since they had sex the night before and Georgia threw up that day.
"yes." he nodded.
Steve had an extremely unreadable expression on his face, a one not even Pony could read.
"well, i'm sorry for your loss. but besides that a few stitches, she should be fine. i hope you boys know she's a walking miracle, anyone else would most certainly be dead from brain damage. but it appears it was so cold her body froze rather than just, die." the doctor said and Steve and Pony smiled, looking at each other.
they were told to sit down until they could go see her.
"should we tell them?" Steve whispered as the gang got up and approached them.
"yeah, but not at first. let me do it." Pony said and Steve nodded.
"she's okay." Steve said and the whole gang breathed a sigh of relief.
"just extreme hypothermia and stitches on her side, she got cut. apparently anybody else would be dead, she's a miracle." Steve continued and they all smiled.
"but uh..there's some news." Pony said and their smiles quickly faded.
"i got her pregnant and the baby died." Pony said quickly.
Johnny's face went white and Darry nearly passed out from shock.
"holy.." Dally muttered and Two and Soda smiled big and wide.
"good job, but i'm sorry." Soda said and patted Pony's back.
"i'm okay, just shook up. i think we were too young anyways." he said and sat down, violently running his hands through his hair.
i was almost a father?
he thought.
Steve was mad, happy, confused, and sad all at the same time.
confused how he was almost an uncle.
mad how Pony got her pregnant.
sad that she almost died.
happy that she was a miracle.
"Randle can receive up to seven visitors." the nurse said from the door.
the whole gang sighed and walked in, following her to room 304.
they walked in and Georgia was sleeping, peaceful and merry.
Steve walked over and rubbed her hand, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles.
"hiya babygirl." Darry said from the end of the bed as her bright blue eyes fluttered open.
Pony held her hand and tears welled up in his eyes.
"who are you all?" she asked.
their hearts all skipped a beat.
"naw, i'm just joking." she said.
Georgia was back.
