Chapter 6

Connie Munroe walked the airport waiting for the phone call that she knew was supposed to come in. Flipping open her cell phone for about the thirtieth time in the last hour, groaned when she saw yet again that she had no incoming calls.

"He should of called by now. He said that he would call like 16 hours ago." Connie said.

"Then why don't you try and call him again." Connie's mother, Nancy, said.

"I have, mother. Three times. And each time they went straight to voice mail."

"I told you that you shouldn't have relied on a 17 year old boy with Sonny."

"Well, who else was there? No one else was picking up there phones at 2 in the morning. I didn't want Sonny up there all alone"

"He probably has left all ready and she is up there all alone all ready"

"Chad wouldn't do that to Sonny. I think." Connie said, remembering some of the things her daughter had told her about Chad.

"You think? Have you even met the boy before?" Her mother asked.

"No, not officially. But what Sonny has told me of him he seems like a nice young man." Connie said, hoping that her mother would believe the lie.

"Whatever you say."

"I'll just try her room. Maybe a nurse will pick up and tell me what's going on." Connie said, flipping her cell open and dialing. After having it ring for 3 times someone picked up that sounded like. "Sonny?"

"Hi, mom." her daughter's voice said on the other end.

"Sonny?! The last time I heard you were still on the life support." Connie said, and could feel the tears coming in her eyes.

"Yeah, they took me off of that yesterday. Chad and I fell asleep for about 15 hours together."

"Oh, so that's why he hasn't called. I thought that something terrible was going on."

"No, everything's fine. Chad hasn't left my side."

"I really wish that I could be there with you."

"I know mom. But I understand why your not and I have Chad with me. Tawni, Nico, and Grady came over today. And Marshall said that he is going to talk to the press and tell them what's going on. I've had some fans trying to get into the hospital to see me." Sonny chuckled at saying this, and Connie was just grateful that she could hear her daughter's laugh again.

"Have they told you what wrong with you?"

"Not yet. They said that they were going to give to the weekend to rest up and get back going again and would go down what I have to do on Monday. " Sonny said, and Connie could hear her yawning.

"You sound tired. Maybe I should let you get your rest."

"No, that's okay. I'm fine."

"Sonny, your sick you need to get your rest. I'll give you a call tomorrow and see how you're doing."

"Ok mom. I think Chad wants to talk to you. Talk to you later. Bye." Sonny said, and Connie could tell that she was clearly upset to not talk to her longer. She heard noises on the other end of the line, before a male voice came on.

"Mrs. Munroe, I just want to say that I am truly sorry for not calling you. After all of the excitement that was going on I forgot all about you." Chad said, Connie couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Chad, it's okay. If it were me, I would probable would of forgotten as well." Connie said, looking over to see her mother rolling her eyes.

"I'm still sorry though."

"I know. And you did a good job with everything. I'm sure that you will be happy to get back to work though."

Chad was silent for a while. "Mrs. Munroe, just because Sonny is awake I'm not going anywhere."

"Chad, you don't have to do that. She isn't your responsibility." Connie said, knowing that Chad probable was going to stay.

"I'm staying with her. She doesn't want to be all alone, and I'm not going to let her be alone. Even if I have to skip work, they will just have to go on without me. And they really can't do that seeing that I'm the star of the show."

"That's all right Chad. If you want to go, you can. I can just have Marshall sit with her now on."

"Do you even know what Sonny would do with Marshall sitting with her? That would be really weird. I'm staying with her and there is no way that you will be able to change my mind. She's my Sonshine, and you can't take her away from me." Chad said.

"Well, then I guess I'll be seeing you when I can get in. Make sure you try and get some sleep, Chad." Connie said.

"Yes, ma'am. I'll talk to you later." Chad said, hanging up the phone. Connie flipped her cell phone closed, with a grin on her face.

"What is with your face?" Her mother asked.

"I just have a funny feeling that I just had a conversation with my future son-in-law."

"How in the world do you know that?"

"When Sonny talks about her she gets this sparkle in her eyes that I've never seen before. And Chad just spent the last five minutes telling me that he wasn't leaving Sonny. He called her his Sonshine." Connie said.

"Sounds like love to me." Her mother said. "Now what's wrong with you?" Nancy said, noticing that her daughter had tears in her eyes.

"My little girl isn't so little anymore."


A/N: I tried to put this in a way of how a mother would feel. But not being a mother myself I would think this is it. So tell me how you like it. Danielle.
