Hi there! Okay, this is it! The story finale! Dun dun dun. I just want to say thank you to everyone that's read this story and to all the people who've alerted and/or reviewed. So here you go, the last chapter, chapter 7.

Disclaimer: I can only wish I owned Sonny With a Chance. Oh well.

"But surely your babysitting boss can't fire you from both jobs. I mean, who is he?" I ask.

"He's..." She begins until she's cut off by the sound of Mr Condor's voice echoing through the speakers in the cafeteria:

"Sonny Munroe, Chad Dylan Cooper and Chastity James, come to my office. NOW!"

This cannot be good.

Baby Steps

Chapter 7-Perfect

The three of us and Rosie, who Chad was still carrying, make our way over to Mr Condor's office in complete, nervous silence.

Normally, people only get summoned to his office if they're gonna get fired. But I haven't even done anything wrong! Well, not that he knows of anyway.

I won't get fired. I won't get fired. I won't get fired. I keep repeating this to myself to try and over power the voice in the back of my mind singing, You're gonna get fired.

We finally reach the office. Mr Condor's secretary signals for us to take a seat in the empty waiting room while we wait for him to finish his meeting with another employee.

We all sit down next to each other. I glance at Chastity on my left; I can tell she's nervous as she keeps twiddling her thumbs. Then I look at Chad on my right, his leg is bouncing up and down, I guess that's what he does when he's nervous. Basically, we're all nervous.

All is silent until the sound of hysterical, upset screaming fills the room. The door to Mr Condor's office has been swung open and a guy I recognise as Jake is running out as he causes the terrible sound. I think that's what getting fired looks like.

"We're." Chad starts.

"All." I continue.

"Doomed." Chastity finishes.

"Mr Condor will see you now." The secretary says in a bored tone. She's obviously used to this kind of thing, you know, kids running out of the office in hysterics after getting fired.

The three of us gulp, preparing ourselves for the worst. We all stand up and slowly, one by one file into the office. The door slams shut behind us. There's no escaping now.

Mr Condor is sat in a large leather chair behind a mahogany desk. Wearing a glare that would scare a lion.

"Sit!" He yells. The three of us comply in terrified silence. "Now...can anyone tell me what this is?" He holds up one of our flyers.

"Um, uh, i-it's a flyer." Chad stutters.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I can see it's a flyer!" Mr Condor rages.

"Sorry sir." Chad quickly apologises.

"I meant, why are they all over my lot?" He asks.

"W-well, that's because Chad and I put them up." I explain.

"And why would you need to put them up?"

"Um because we found Rosie in the Prop House." I answer.

"Ah. That's what I was looking for." He begins, "The issue I'm concerned about here is...WHY WAS MY DAUGHTER ALONE IN THE PROP HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE!" He yells so loud, Lucy probably heard him all the way in Wisconsin.

Mr Condor turns to Chastity and points "Weren't you supposed to be looking after her, Chastity?"

"Um, uh, y-yes sir." Chastity seems so scared, I feel so sorry for her.

"Then why did you lose her?"

"I'm so sorry sir. I swear I only took my eyes off of her for a minute." She apologises.

"Well then, that was a minute too long! How can you be so irresponsible? I'm sorry Chastity but if that's how you're gonna behave then..." Chastity takes a deep breath, preparing herself for the next two words, "You're fi-"

"Wait!" Chad interrupts. Um, does he want to lose his job?

"What is it Mr Cooper?" Mr Condor sounds impatient.

"Um-uh." Chad stumbles.

"Spit it out!"

"Okay, well, you hired Chastity as a baby sitter, right?"

"Yes."

"But she's also hired as an actress on my show." Chad continues.

"Yes. What is your point Chad?" Mr Condor's starting to get annoyed. I just hope Chad knows what he's doing.

"Well, Chastity is an irresponsible baby sitter right? But tell me, she's not a bad actress is she?"

"Well, no but-" Mr Condor is interrupted by Chad again.

"So, don't you think it would be best if you just fired her as Rosie's baby sitter and not as a Mackenzie Falls actress?" Chad reasons. You know, he does have a point.

"Well, yes but-"

"And, don't you think that without one of the lead characters in the show, ratings would drop and you'd lose money. Besides, it's not like anyone was hurt. Rosie's fine and happy as ever. After all, Sonny and I did take excellent care of her." Chad shoots me a smile when he mentions my name. Then he looks expectantly at Mr Condor, who at this point looks like he's in deep thought.

"Chad, Sonny, you did take very good care of my little girl. Chastity, you didn't. That is why you're fired." He points at her. I look at Chastity and it looks like she's about to burst into tears until Mr Condor continues, "You're fired as a baby sitter. But, you are a good actress, which is why you can continue being on Mackenzie Falls." He finishes.

"Eeeeeekkkk!" Chastity screams, "Thank you so much sir. I promise I won't let you down!" She jumps up and excitedly runs out of the office.

Chad (still carrying Rosie) and I are about to leave as well but apparently Mr Condor has other ideas, "As for you two, thank you." He smiles. For a minute, Chad and I are in complete shock. Since when does Mr Condor thank or smile at people?

"F-for what sir?" I ask.

"For taking care of my baby girl. I really appreciate it. Maybe I should even get you two to look after her more often."

Chad and I look at each other to confirm our answer.

"Sure, we loved having Rosie around."

"Great. Now leave." He tells us.

We start walking away until we hear our boss cough. "Uh, Chad, do you think I could maybe have my daughter back now?" He asks.

"Oh yeah, sorry. Here you go." Chad hands Rosie over to her father. He seems a little upset to be letting her go. I put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Sonny. Chad." Our boss bids fair well.

"Chad." We hear someone say but it wasn't me and it wasn't Mr Condor, so it must have been...Rosie! Oh my gosh! She just said her first word! She just said Chad. Awww, even Chad can't deny that's cute.

I look up at him and he has a huge smile plastered on his face as we leave the office. We start to make our way over to the Prop House. We talk as we walk.

"So, how does it feel to have a baby's first word be your name?" I ask.

"Good. It just feels good. Kinda like she's grown attached to me." He answers.

"I don't think she's the only one who's grown attached to someone today." I chide.

"Yeah well, maybe baby's and kids aren't so bad after all."

"So, does that mean you're more open to the idea of having kids one day?" I ask.

"Sonny!" He sounds kinda embarrassed.

"Come on Chad." I prompt.

"Well, maybe..." He starts.

"Maybe?" How can he just say maybe after taking care of Rosie?

"Yeah, maybe if I'm with the right girl." He smiles. You know, this conversation sounds vaguely familiar.

"Oh? And what would she be like?" I try to sound casual. He stops walking and I stop too. We turn to face each other, so we're looking into each other's eyes.

"Well...she'd have to be smart, pretty, funny and have the ability to amaze me in all she does." He says dreamily.

My breath hitches.

"Where would you find such a girl?" I whisper.

Chad just smiles and says, "Right here." Before capturing my lips in his.

A perfect kiss.

Awww. They got together. All's well. Don't you just love a happy ending?

Please review and tell me what you think of the end. It would be a great way to finish this story. Thanks for reading!

Peace Out xx
