**Baby's POV**

I ran as fast as I could, this was my fault I had to fix it! If I hadn't of lied to Daddy about the money Penny never would have gotten in to the "doctor" and be in the pain she is in. The house came into view and I started to run faster using my guilt to propel me faster towards the cabin.

I hurried up the wooden stairs two at a time which was impressive because it was almost pitch black. I quietly opened the door so I wouldn't wake mom to, I tip toed over towards Daddy and shook his shoulder "Daddy, Daddy wake up." I loudly whispered and I guess he could hear the urgency in my voice because the first words out of his mouth were "What? What is it, Baby? Is it Lisa?" I shook my head and silently whispered "No." then got his medicine bag as he put on his trousers and shoes.

We walked quickly towards Penny's cabin mostly in silence I was slightly in front leading the way. When we reached the cabin he gave me a disapproving look. "Excuse me. Excuse me! Everybody clear out, please." He instructed and everyone did as he said and left the room and gathered around the tiny porch. Everyone gave me looks as I made my way up to the door of the room in case Daddy needed my help.

"Yes, I know that hurts. We're gonna take care of that." He soothes as he sits next to Penny who was clutching her stomach. "Who's responsible for this girl?" Daddy asks as he takes out his stethoscope. His voice was harsh and cold. Darry steps forward he seemed nervous and intimidated "I am. Please, is she-" Daddy puts up his hand to silence him and Darry leaves the room. "Leave Baby I can do this myself." Daddy frowns with little emotion. I nod once and silently leave the room and close the door behind me. Nobody says anything while my father treats Penny all you can hear is the out of sync breaths of everyone and the sounds of nature. "Ponyboy I think you should get to bed you got work tomorrow." Darry says quietly you can hear the anxiety and exhaustion in his voice.

"But-" Ponyboy tries to argue but Darry interrupts him "I will let you know what happened in the morning." "Come on Ponyboy, I'll come with ya." Sodapop says calmly as Ponyboy yawns and then they walk down the stairs and walked off into the darkness.

The door clicks and then swings open to reveal and very tired looking Daddy. Darry steps forward towards Daddy "Doc, thanks a lot. I don't know how to thank you." He puts out his hand offering for Daddy to shake it but he just looks Darry in the eyes with the dirtiest and most judgmental looks I have ever seen Daddy give.

He puts his hand on my middle back and ushers me down the stairs. "Was that what my money paid for?" he growls at me when we are out of sight of everybody else. "I'm sorry. I never meant to lie." I managed to murmur. Tears were starting to spill down my cheeks "You're not the person I thought you were. I'm not sure who you are. I don't want you to have anything to do with those people. Nothing! You're to have nothing to do with them ever again!...I won't tell your mother about this. Right now I'm going to bed. And take that stuff off your face before your mother sees you!" his voice was harsh and at one point almost yelling Daddy had never told me off like that before and it wasn't a nice feeling. I felt really guilty already and now even more so.

He left me standing there alone I didn't want to go back home because Lisa and I shared a room and I definitely not in the mood for her probing questions.

The only place left to go was Darry's but Daddy told me not to go there and I never disobeyed him before the whole Penny incident. "Just do it Baby!" I frustratedly told myself.

I walked slowly walked towards Darry's cabin debating whether or not I shoulder be doing this but for some reason I only wanted to be with him. His cabin came into view and I walked faster towards his cabin before I could change my mind. I lightly knocked on his door and within seconds he answered it topless. It made me giddy inside "Can I come in?" I mutter he nods and steps aside to let me in. "I got a- I guess it's not a great room. You probably got a great room." He says while I look around it was big with no kitchen but a bed and a bathroom off the side. Bookshelves aligned the far wall and there were clothes here and there but it was all his and he worked for it. I have never had to work for anything in my life everything I wanted I got served to me on a silver platter.

"No. It's a great room!" I state more loudly and enthusiastically than I had intended. He pulled his lips into a straight line and nods then goes to turn off the record player "Leave it on." I rush before he turns it off.

"I'm sorry about the way my father treated you." I speak softly and sit down on the chair he had just cleared for me. "No. Your father was great. He was great. The way he took care of Penny." He sighed in awe. "I mean the way he was with you. It's really me it has to do with. Darry, I came here because my father-" I slowly explain but interrupts me "No. The way he saved her...I could never do anything like that. That was something. People treat me like I'm nothing because I am nothing." He spits "That's not true! You're everything!" I interject and plead. "You don't understand the way it is for somebody like me. Last month I'm eating chocolate cake to stay alive. This month, women are stuffing diamonds in my pockets. I'm balancing on shit and I can be down there again." He groans his voice full of anger.

"No, it's not the way it is! It doesn't have to be that way!" I try to reassure but of course fail because I have never had to live that way or even imagined having to. He shakes his head in ager and points to me "I've never known anyone like you. You think you can make the world better. Somebody's lost, you find them. Somebody's bleeding-"

"I go get my daddy. That's really brave, like you said." I groan sarcastically. "That took a lot of guts to go to him! You are not scared of anything." He starts to yell a bit.

"I'm scared of everything! I'm scared of what I saw. I'm scared of what I did, who I am. I'm scared of walking out of here and never feeling for the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you." I yell but more in a desperate and scared tone. The room filled with tension and awkward silence. I stood up and walked towards him "Dance with me." I mutter "What, here?" he asks surprised "Here." I demand.

We slowly start Dirty Dancing to the music we intensely stare into each other's eyes his hands wonder down to my hips I wonder around his bare torso leaving small kisses. I make my way back to his front and he untucks my shirt and slips it over my head and throws it away.

He taps my thighs to signify me to jump so I do I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss his neck as he undid my white jeans. I guess I should be nervous but I wasn't this just felt so right. He pulled my jeans down and I jumped down as he pulled them right down I stepped out of them and then put my hands on either side of his face and guided him back up to my face. We grind more to the music and his come off. He carries me over to the bed and gently lays me down and then...
