SONNY POV

Chad and I had been searching for houses on the internet for hours when finally I spotted the most beautiful house I had ever seen. It was a small cottage with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small living room with a real fire, a dining room and a beautiful kitchen. It had about three acres of land and when I saw the smirk on Chad's face I knew that he knew I was in love with it.

'Chad, I...'

'Don't say another word Sonny, we'll buy this house. It's got a gorgeous room for us and those two small rooms will be perfect for our perfect kids.' Chad said kissing my temple and I blushed.

'But, its quite a drive away from work.' I whispered.

'Who cares, the further away, the better.' He laughed and I nodded and before I knew it Chad was on the phone to the estate agent and had bought the house.

'Oh Chad, I'm so happy.' I breathed in deeply and he put an arm around me.

'Me too Sonshine, me too.'

'So you really want kids huh.' I said biting my lip.

'Yeah, and I want to start a family with you Sonny – I'm ready for it and I know we'll be a big happy family,' he said, looking at me dead in the eyes and I gulped and nodded before getting up.

'Well I guess I should start packing.' I smiled at him and he nodded.

'Yeah, I'll go and book us a flight.' He pecked my cheek and I smiled painfully and when the door closed, I sat down on the bed and pulled my knees up to my chin and a tear rolled down my face.

'Sonny?' came mum's voice from the door and she shut the door behind her and locked it before sitting beside me. 'Baby, what's wrong?'

'Shouldn't you be busy with Tom as you usually are?' I growled at her and she looked shocked.

'Sonny!'

'I'm sorry mum, it's just something Chad said and now I'm just...'

'He hasn't done anything bad has he.' Mum said, looking angry and I shook my head.

'No, he's been nothing but sweet but he wants... oh mum.' I looked at her with tears in my eyes. 'he wants kids with me.'

'Oh honey, it was bound to come to this someday Sonny, but take it positively; he wants a family with you.'

'But I can't give it to him mum.' I burst into tears and she patted my back.

'I'm sure that one day it will happen Sonny.' Mum smiled and then she saw the cottage on the screen and asked me what it was.

'That's the house that Chad and I bought and we're moving there. It's much smaller than his current place but this is going to be our place.' I smiled softly, wiping my tears away and walking over. 'Chad knew I was in love with it and before I knew it he had bought it.' I giggled and mum smiled.

'Well I hope you two will be happy there.'

'I'm sure we will be.' I laughed.

Chad and I had settled into our new cottage and I loved every second of it. It was beautiful and quaint.

'Sonny darling, I promised my mum that I'd let her see our new house. I've put it off for a fortnight now and I'm not sure if I can hold her off any longer.' Chad bit his lip and I laughed.

'Chad, I promised you that I would start afresh with your mother. Invite her over.' I laughed and Chad kissed my cheek.

'Thank you honey.' He laughed before going to call Eleanor. 2 hours later he came back from the phone and smiled.

'She's coming tomorrow.'

'It took you two hours to decide that!' I cried and he sighed.

'I tried to hang up but she wouldn't let me go.'

'Yeah well it just means your dinners ruined.' I sighed looking at Chad's dried up food in the oven.

'Who cares about dinner? I'd rather have dessert.' He wiggle his eyebrows and I sighed.

'But I spent so long making that nice chicken with prosciutto ham – 3 hours it took to make and your just gonna have bloody ice cream for dessert.'

'Who said I was gonna have ice cream when I've got you?' he said and then I got it.

'Oh no! I did not spend 3 hours slaving away in the kitchen for you just so you can have your way with me for 20 bloody minutes!' I yelled at him and he giggled.

'Baby, you know you want it.' He grinned and he threw me over his shoulder before picking up chocolate sauce and ice cream.

'Wha- what are you doing with those.'

'Having dessert.' He laughed and I licked my lips.

'Can't wait.' I whispered and Chad carried me and the ice cream upstairs.

The next day, Eleanor arrived and immediately hugged Chad for ages and then she looked at me and smiled. Perhaps Eleanor really did want to make a fresh start.

'Alyson darling!' she opened her arms and hugged me tightly and I laughed.

'Eleanor, it's great to see you.'

'What a lovely place you two have here and I presume there's a guest room so I can stay over some time.' Eleanor grinned and I gulped.

'Miss Cooper, I don't think any one will be staying over just yet.' I said and a look of shock passed on her face.

'But of course, you must be pregnant!' she cried and my eyes widened and Chad stared at me.

'Mum! Sonny's not pregnant – are you?' he asked more as a question and I shook my head.

'No!'

'Then for heavens sake why can't I stay over?'

'I just... I just think that Chad and I should settle into our new home before anything or anyone stays over.' I said, exasperated and Eleanor put her hands up.

'Ok, I'm sorry but then let me take you out for lunch Sonny, so we can plan your wedding together while Chaddy is filming his movie tomorrow.' She grinned and I sighed tiredly and nodded, not bothering to decline as much as I wanted to.

'Well I shall see you tomorrow Sonny – I'll pick you up, but now I really can't stay goodbye Chaddy.' She kissed Chad and went on her way.

'Sorry about her Sonshine, I didn't know she's act that way.' Chad sighed, sitting next to me and kissing my temple.

'It's OK.' I sighed before falling asleep on his chest.

RxR please :D
