I love all of my fans and the disserve to be a part of this story.

Searching For Former Clarity

Chapter 2

The Rat Is Back

Sonny POV

I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyed he sun was shining bright throw my yellow curtains. I really didn't feel like getting out of my bed. My bed is the one place where all my worries can't bother me anymore. Plus it was Saturday and you know what it's like to wake up on Saturdays. But I have to get up because I have two little boys that love to get up early. Wait until they hit their teenage years!

I walked down the stairs slowly hearing the sounds of Saturday morning cartoons and bacon frying in a pan.

"Mackenzie how many times do I have to tell you, don't use the stove when I'm not awake." I told him walking into the kitchen. I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized that it wasn't Mackenzie cooking breakfast.

"Chad what are you doing here?" I asked stunned. He was actually home?

"I live here Sonny. This is OUR house." Chad said acting like I was stupid.

"What are you talking about? You don't live here. For you to live here you would actually have to be here." Vicki said as she was walking in. Chad frowned at her.

"Ali don't talk to me like that. Just because work is busy doesn't mean that I'm not your father and that I don't live here." Chad scolded her.

"Sure daddy, and by the way I'm Victoria not Alison." She spat at him as she stormed out of the room. Chad looked at me shocked.

"Isn't that what I said? I know my own daughters!" Chas said starting to get aggravated.

"Obviously you don't Chad. You've barely spent a day here in the past year. You still haven't even answered my question. Why are you here?" Now I was getting annoyed.

"I got the weekend off, ok?" He asked raising his eyebrows at me, just asking for me to say another harsh comment about him. He turned back to the frying pan as I walked out of the kitchen. Just wait till Mackenzie sees him!

Speaking of Mackenzie, as I walked out of the kitchen I saw him coming down the stairs. He was up early and was fully dressed. Something was up.

"Mack are you going anywhere? Don't you think you should spend the day with Chad?" I asked. Mackenzie just laughed in return as he headed towards the door.

"I'm going to Jessica's mom. I'll be back later!" He called walking out. It might be better that Mackie is off to his girlfriends house instead of fighting with his father in this one. I wish things were back to the old days when everything was fine and we were one big happy family. That doesn't even seem possible anymore.

So Sonny what do you want to do today?" I jumped not hearing Chad coming up behind me. I spun around to look at his stupid face.

"How about you spend the day with the kids. They wish you were around more. You could also tell me again why you're never home, no bullshit this time." I told him watching his face carefully. He flinched at my cursing knowing that I never do that unless I'm really upset with that person or something.

"Sonny, I've told you. I'm busy at work. You just have to trust me. Please?" He begged me. I really didn't know what to say so I just walked out of the room hearing Chad let out a frustrated sigh behind me. I could hear his footsteps follow me as I ran to my bedroom. I grabbed the extra key that was on top of the doorframe before going into the room and locking the door. Sure, Chad had a key, but that was to the OLD lock.

I sat in that room for about on hour listening to Chad saying why I shouldn't be mad at him, while he pounded on the door cursing at me for changing the locks. Finally he got the message that I didn't want to talk about this issue right now and went back to the living room with our two youngest boys. I'm glad Chad gave up because I really didn't feel like telling him that I don't trust him when he told me that excuse. Had he forgotten I was in show biz too at one point and that I know the days aren't that long?

I was waling back down to my family when I heard the doorbell ring. I couldn't believe that I forgot that Nico, Tawni, their boys, Zora, Grady, and their kids were all coming over to watch all the kids while Tawni and I went shopping. I rushed to the door to let them in. they were all standing there looking impatient.

"Just to warn you Chad's home for the weekend." I said. Over the last year my old cast mates began to hate Chad all over again. Tawni frowned at me.

"You're still letting that rat live with you guys?" She acted surprised.

"Come one guys. Act nice at least for the children's sake." I pleaded with them.

"I don't know Sonny. We'll try but no promises." Nico offered.

"That's all I'm asking for." I clarified what I wanted. Tawni walked over to me and hocked her arm through mine.

"You ready to go shopping Sonny!" Tawni almost squealed in my ears.

"As ready as I'll ever be to go shopping with you." I laughed. Tawni smirked.

"Bye Pooper! Have fun with the kids!" Tawni yelled to Chad while dragging me out of the house.

So I know probably not as interesting as chapter one, but believe me I plan on making it better. So please review!
