Hi! Okay, I must warn you, there is major fluff here, so be prepared. I am so glad everyone likes this story! I appreciate every one of your reviews, and I try to respond to every one I get. So thank you! Now enjoy this Channy-Chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, unfortunately. But I just got my hair cut!

"You're what?!" Tawni screeched. "Okay, Sonny, 'like' I can handle. But, love?! Are you sure? Love's a pretty strong word, and it's Chad Dylan Cooper! Can you say 'ultimate enemies'?"

"Ultimate enemies."

"Gah! No, Sonny, this is not good. Definitely not good!"

"Tawni, I know this is not good! Trust me, I have fought with myself long enough to know already," Sonny said. She fell to the floor, tucking her knees into her chest.

Tawni sighed. "Sonny, what are you going to do? We have rival shows, and—"

"I know Tawni! And now his girlfriend's pregnant! He did that to her, so first of all, I can no longer look at him the same way. I mean…ew. And secondly, he loves her. He chose her over me…"

"Maybe he was just confused. I'm not expert on love, Sonny, but I always knew he had a thing for you."

Sonny's eyes widened, and she jumped up. "You're. Telling. Me. This. NOW!?"

Tawni backed away slowly, hands raised in mock defence.

"Whoa, Sonny, I didn't tell you because I thought you'd get all 'No he doesn't, Tawni.' 'That's ridiculous, Tawni.' 'That's just in your mind, Tawni.'"

Sonny thought about this and decided Tawni was probably right. A few months ago, Sonny would have denied everything that involved feelings towards Chad. But now, whatever Sonny had thought before faded away, and she knew she was in love with Chad Dylan Cooper.

Tawni put her hand on Sonny's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. Sonny cocked an eyebrow. Tawni ignored it.

"Sonny, I think you should tell him."

Sonny broke down laughing. Tawni dropped her hand and a confused expression painted her face.

Tears were pouring down Sonny's face. As she wiped her eyes, she said, "Oh…oh, God...good one, Tawni. You really had me there." Sonny placed her hands on her hips and smiled at Tawni, waiting for her actual response.

"I wasn't kidding, Sonny." Sonny's face fell.

"You want me to tell Chad that I love him?" Sonny asked. Her mind filled with every possible outcome, and she didn't like any of them. Chad would shut her down. After all, he had chosen Portlyn. And now that a baby is coming…it just didn't look good for Sonny.

"It's the best thing to do," said Tawni. "He needs to know. He can't continue on with Portlyn knowing that you feel things for him too."

"Yes, he can!" Sonny protested. "He is perfectly fine with Portlyn now, like he always has been. My little confession will ruin everything, and just add more drama."

"Chad is the definition of drama!" countered Tawni. "You need to tell him! Let's go." Tawni spun Sonny around and pushed her towards the Mackenzie Falls studio. No matter how hard Sonny tried, Tawni's hands were gripping her shoulders like they were made of steel. She couldn't escape.

"Tawni! Stop! Let go of me! I can't do this! Let go!!" Tawni pushed further until the two were standing in front of Chad's dressing room door. Tawni raised a hand to knock and Sonny tried to get away. She fell to the floor and began to crawl.

"Sonny! Get back here!" shouted Tawni, chasing Sonny around the hallway, and not succeeding because of her four-inch heels.

Suddenly, Chad's door opened and the blonde-haired hottie walked out. Tawni and Sonny stopped.

Chad took in the scene before him. Sonny was on her hands and knees, blushing like mad, and Tawni was crouched over, hands outreached, holding the hem of Sonny's shirt.

"What are you two doing?" he asked. Tawni let go of Sonny and straightened out.

"Oh, we just came over here to tell you something, Chad," she said with a smirk. "Take it away, Sonny."

Sonny stood up and brushed the dirt off her jeans. "Uh…" Sonny searched desperately for something to say. "Just that….err…the episode of Mackenzie Falls this week was…dramatic."

What?!

Tawni's eyes widened and she glanced at Sonny as if to say, Are you serious right now? That's what you could come up with?!

"Uh….thanks?" said Chad. Sonny blushed.

"Chad, who is it?" a voice called from inside the room.

"Sonny and Barbie," he called back. Tawni scowled.

Portlyn emerged from behind the dressing room door.

"Oh…what are you two doing here?

"Portlyn!!" cried Tawni. "We have lots to talk about missy! Come with me, I'll buy you a Fro-Yo. Come on." Tawni grabbed Portlyn's hand and dragged her away from Chad and Sonny. Her intentions of leaving the two alone were clear to the both of them, and they immediately felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Portlyn, with a twisted smile and furrowed brows, reluctantly followed Tawni down the hallway and out of the studio.

Chad and Sonny were alone.

The break the awkward silence, Sonny said, "Yeah, well, I'm just gonna go. It was nice talking to you..."

She turned to leave when a warm hand caught hers and spun her around. Sapphire met chocolate, and Sonny lost her train of thought. Where was she going again?

"Sonny…" Chad began softly. He squeezed her hand tighter. "Why did you really come here? I know you don't watch Mackenzie Falls." He laughed quietly.

Sonny broke eye contact and gathered her thoughts together. Finally, she said, "It's nothing. It always was nothing. It always will be nothing…"

Chad placed his hand on her cheek and guided her eyes back to his. Tears welled up in Sonny's eyes. After all of the crying she did that week, she thought she had run out. She choked them back, not wanting to cry in front of Chad.

All of a sudden, Sonny was taken into a warm embrace. Automatically, she wrapped her arms around Chad's waist, and his hands gently stroked her soft brown hair.

Chad had always wanted this moment. Ever since Sonny Munroe arrived, he had just wanted to touch her; to just hold her to his body, to give him his warmth and love. That's all he wanted, and now it was really happening.

Sonny soaked in the shivers that ran up and down her spine. She embraced the butterflies and didn't mind the way his face nuzzled into her neck just right. She felt his lips run over her ear, and she felt tingles where he touched.

"Sonny…" he whispered.

"Mmm," she responded with. Very clever.

"Tell me why you came," he said softly. His lips were right up next to her ear, and his hands spread out along her back. She loved this way too much.

"I…can't. It's stupid," she mumbled into his chest. He very reluctantly pulled away, but still kept his arms around her.

"It's not stupid. Just tell me. Tawni said you needed to say something."

Sonny sighed…and caved. "I love you, Chad. And I know you're going to be a father, and there's nothing I can do about that. I knew that by telling you that it would just create more drama, and I didn't want to do that to you. You have enough to deal with, and---"

She was stopped by Chad's index finger over her lips and a knowing smirk. He gently tucked a tendril of hair behind Sonny's ear. She gazed into his eyes, and almost couldn't process when Chad whispered, "I love you too, Sonny."

Review please! I love them, and knowing what you think of the story and suggestions for it make me write faster, so I'd review if I were you!!

Peace, Love, and Cake Batter Ice Cream,
