***4 weeks later***

Florence's POV

I should probably tell you what has happened these past four weeks. Johnny left three weeks ago, he finally told me but it was the day he was supposed to leave and an houre before he actually left! Me and him got into this massive argument about it and I guess we split up. The gang have been acting like Johnny never left but I can tell that they all hate knowing he isn't there, me and Pony most. Everyone still talks to him on the phone except me even though everyone says all he does is talk about how I am and saying if he can talk to me. I had my birthday the day after Johnny left and no one knew about it accept for Johnny and Two-Bit, so I am officially 18 but nobody knows, still. I have been getting really ill in the morning, I missed my period and I have been getting really bad mood swings and cravings for really weird foods? I'm just hoping it's not what I think it is. I decided that today I should probably go to the doctors to find out what is wrong with me because it sure as hell aint a virus.

I was sat in a doctors office when the door swung open and a guy in a white cloke and a clipboard walked in. "Ah miss..." He looked at his clipboard. "Miss. Matthews, what seems to be the problem?"

"Well I have been getting really ill lately and getting really bad mood swings, more worse than usual."

"Have you missed a period?"

"...Yes?"

"Ah I see. Are you sexually active?"

"Excuse me?"

"Are you sexually active?"

"Well, not now. I mean I did have sex with my ex-boyfriend a couple of weeks ago but that was it." I told the doctor awkwardly.

"Well, doing it once can still get you pregnant."

"You mean I'm pregnant?"

"We won't know until we take a sonogram. Follow me."

"Um, o-okay." I followed him into another room and he tole me to lie on the table and lift my shirt up. He put this cold jelly substance on my stomach and and then started rubbing it around with this machine. He told me to look at the screen so I did. I started seeing this peanut shapped thing on the screen and this sound that sounded like drums or a heart beat.

"Congratulations, Miss. Matthews! You're one month pregnant. That right there is your little baby boy or girl. Would you like a picture to take home?" I just nodded. "Okay. Here's a towel for you to wipe the gel of your stomach and I'll just go collect your picture."

"Thank you." He nodded and walked away. I can't be a mother! What is the gang gonna think. I don't want my baby to grow up without a dad. I hate this so much! I feel like I could burst into tears right now! Johnny, he doesn't need to know, not now atleast. The doctor came back in with an envelope and handed it to me. 

"Come back in a month and we will check up on the baby and see how they are doing, okay?" I just nodded and climbed off the table.

"Thank you."

"No problem, Miss. Matthews. It's my job." He smiled at me and then I walked out and started to the Curtis' house. I'm going to tell them, I mean they are family after all. I walked in through the door to see everyone happy and laughing. I can't do it. Maybe I can walk out without anyone noticing. Just as I was about to turn away I heard Two-Bits voice. "Hey, Flo, what you got in your hands?" I looked down.

"Oh, it's um a letter from um my friend called um Maria. Yeah, it's a letter form my friend, Maria." I smiled at my answer even though I knew it failed.

"That's nice but what's really in the envelope?" Everyone was looking at me now. I walked over to the couch and sat down with everyones eyes still on me.

"I-I'm Pregnant." I put my face into my hands and started sobbing, silently praying that Johnny was here to hold me.

"W-what?"

"I'm one month pregnant." I finally looked up now to see all the boys faces looking at me.

"You've been fooling around with someone else when Johnny is so madly in love with you?!" Dally yelled at me across the room.

"No I haven't, Winston! This is his baby! But I aint gonna tell him, he doesn't need to worry about this he has finally gotten away from his parents he doesn't need to worry about me being pregnant. We broke up anyway, he probably won't even care." I tossed the picture onto the coffee table so all the guys could look at the picture. "That's our little baby living inside my stomach." I put my hand on my stomach and smiled lightly. When I looked up everyone was passing the picture around and smiling aswell. 

"We're gonna have our own little Johnnycake running around here in a couple months." I smiled at thought. Oh God I miss Johnny!

"Why don't you just tell Johnny? I mean, it is partially his."

"I don't know. I just probably won't be able to bring myself to do it. He finally just got away from one problem, he don't need another one. And you guys won't tell him about it either, promise?" The guys all exchanged glances.

"Promise." They all sighed.

"Thank you. I'm gonna go for a walk you know, clear my head." I knew I was going to cry again thinking about Johnny and I didn't want to do it in front of them.

Two-Bit's POV (Shocker! I know right)

"To make sure we're all clear, we are going to tell Johnny about Flo being pregnant, right?" I asked making sure I wasn't the only one.

"Oh god yes."

"Oh hell yeah."

"Of course."

"Thought so." I smiled and walked over to the phone and dialed in Johnny's new number.

Johnny's POV

I was staring at my ceiling crying at the thought of Florence, again.

I miss her so much and the worst thing is I haven't spoken to her once since I left. Actually no, the worst thing is I was going to ask her to marry me on her eightenth birthday and now I can't. I just want to hear her voice again, I want to see her again. I know that my aunt has noticed the fact that I aint happy. I over heard her talking to my uncle about moving me back but my uncle refused straight away. I just want my Flo back, is that to much to ask for?

I was about to phone the Curtis' house again when my phone started ringing. I picked it up. "Hello?" My voice cracked a little bit.

"Hey, Johnnycake, you okay?"

"Yeah, man, what's up?"

"We have some news and we aint sure how you're going to take it, Florence told us not to tell you but we thought we should."

"Would you just get to the point, Two-Bit, you're worrying me." He took a deep breath.

"Florence is pregnant." I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. She moved on that fast? Well I wouldn't say fast it has been three weeks already.

"She's already with someone else?" I felt like crying again. He chuckled slightly. This is no time to be laughing Two-Bit!

"Nah, man. The baby's yours. She said she didn't want to tell you because you already got away from one problem and you don't need another one. She said that you wouldn't care anyway but we knew you would so we thought it would be best if we told you." I felt happiness overwelm me.

"I'm seriously gonna have my own little kid?"

"Yeah man, Your gonna be a father." I couldn't help but smile and for once I didn't have tears running down my face. But then I remembered, I'm in Vegas and Florence is all the way in Tulsa. "Don't worry man, we got that covered." I said that out loud? I heard Two-Bit chuckle. "Yeah you did. Anyway we got a plan for you to get down here and surprise, Florence."

"But what about my aunt and uncle? They'd never let me go back."

"Don't worry about that, Darry's on the phone to them right now. We just got to worry about getting you down without Florence knowing the plan. Your aunt and uncle are driving you down to the train station where Soda and Steve are going to pick you up after work and then drive you back here. In the mean time Pony and I are going to keep Florence out of the house and then we will bring her back here where you surprise her and then we all live happily ever after."

"Thanks, Two-Bit. this means a lot, honestly."

"No problem man."

"Tell Florence I love and miss her will ya?"

"Will do. Speaking of Florence she's coming back so I gotta go."

"Bye."

"Se ya soon, man." I heard the guys shouting bye down the phone and then I heard the voice that I have been longing to hear for days now. 

"Who you talking to?"

"I'm asking mom if we still have beer in the house." I laughed silently at Two-Bits response.

"Um, okay?"

"Okay, well thanks, bye, mom. see you soon." I laughed then hung up the phone and ran down the stairs happy as ever. I grabbed the nutella out of the cupboard and a spoon and sat in the front room with my aunt and uncle. They looked as if they saw a ghost.

"I'm guessing your friends told you the plan?" I smiled.

"Yeah they did. Thank you guys so much."

"You love her a lot don't ya?"

"Yeah, I do. I'm going to ask her to marry me."

"Good for you Johnny. Growing up to be a lovely young man. Whats with the chocolate spread?"

"I don't know. It reminds me of Flo." I shrugged. 

"Well okay then. You should probably get some sleep. Got a long day tomorrow."

"Thanks again you guys."

"Don't worry about it little man." I went to bed with the biggest smile that night.
