Chapter 5
Lea's POV
It had been two days since Sonny had met Dianna and some of the other glee cast. She had become close to Dianna and wasn't so nervous. I could tell she wasn't totally ok being around a lot of people still. When she went with me to the glee set she would stay by me the whole time. We had both gotten up early this morning to go to the set. Sonny was now curled up against me with her head on my chest asleep. She was exhausted. Cory had gone out of town to visit his parents so it was just the two of us. I was logging out of my twitter when I heard a knock on the front door. I placed my laptop on the couch next to me and gently picked Sonny up. She moved in her sleep a little but didn't wake up. I kissed her on the head then opened the door to see Dianna and Naya standing there. I smiled at them and quietly invited them inside. Once we had sat down in the living room Dianna said "I was telling Naya about Sonny and she said she wanted to come see her. "I nodded and said "Well this is Sonny. She is really tired from being up so early with me this morning."Naya looked down at her and said "Awww what a cutie." Dianna told me she is kinda shy. "I started to answer her when Sonny began talking in her sleep. I gently kissed her forehead as she said "Mommy..."I placed her dog in her arms and hoped that would calm her a little. I felt bad that I had gotten her up so early now. Cory had been gone for a day and I could tell she missed him. She wouldn't go to sleep unless he said goodnight to her over the phone after we both sang to her. She cuddled into me more as she felt me place the dog in her arms and kiss her on the head. We all sat and talked for a bit and I invited them to stay the night. They agreed to stay the night and helped Cory and I get Sonny to bed.
After we had gotten Sonny to bed we went and sat in the living room together and just talked. "So what about having a girl's day tomorrow?" Dianna asked as Lea sat down next to her. "Sure that sounds fun. We can just go to the mall and walk around or something." All of them agreed that would be fun. Lea couldn't wait to take Sonny with her. Lea said goodnight to them and headed up to go to bed. When she got upstairs she looked into Sonny's room to see her asleep with Rachel curled up next to her. She had her hand on the cat's back. She tried to walk quietly into the room but she walked into something on the floor. Sonny woke up and looked over at her. Lea sat down on her bed and said "I'm sorry I woke you. I just wanted to make sure you were alright. You seemed like you were having trouble sleeping downstairs." Sonny looked down at Rachel and asked "What do you mean?" Lea smiled at her and said "You were talking in your sleep. You just seemed restless." Sonny just nodded then asked "Where is my doggy?" Lea bent down and realized that was what she had tripped on. She handed her the dog and gave Rachel a scratch on the head. They were both silent for a while then Sonny asked "When is daddy coming back?" Lea kissed her on the head and said "Don't worry he will be back soon. He wants you to meet his parents. But I told him you are not that used to people yet." Lea watched as Sonny nodded then asked "Can I sleep in your room tonight?" Lea nodded and picked her up. She got her situated in her bed then layed down next to her. Sonny cuddled up against her and fell asleep quickly. Lea kissed her forehead and made sure she was ok before falling asleep. She was glad that Sonny was ok. But she still worried about her sometimes. She knew that Sonny hadn't been sleeping that well lately.
Sonny's POV
I woke up the next morning to find that I was in Lea's room. She must have known that I was awake because she asked me if I wanted to go get some breakfast. I nodded and followed her downstairs. When I got downstairs I sat down at the kitchen table after pouring myself a bowl of cereal. I watched as Lea left the room then came back with Dianna and one of her friends that I hadn't met yet. She motioned for me to come over to them but I shook my head no and backed away. Dianna came over to me and said "Sonny this is your mommy and my friend Naya." She tried to get me to come with her but I pulled away from her. Naya came over to me and got down to my level. "Hey sweetheart I won't hurt you." Lea came over to me and I moved towards her. She picked me up and said "Can you say hi?" I shook my head no and rested my head on her shoulder. Lea sighed and set me down. I went back to eating my breakfast silently. The rest of them sat down to eat breakfast. I finished eating and went up to my room to get dressed. I also wanted to be alone. I finished getting dressed and was playing with Rachel when Lea came into my room.
Lea's POV
I watched quietly as Sonny continued to play with Rachel on the floor. After a few minutes she looked up at me and came to sit next to me. I pulled her onto my lap and kissed her on the head. She looked up at me and said "Mommy I'm sorry." I gave her a confused look and asked "Sorry for what? You didn't do anything wrong." Sonny looked down at her hands and said "I'm sorry for being nervous around your friend. I don't want her to think I don't like her. I'm just nervous." I nodded and said "It's ok to be nervous. Naya knows you're shy. It's all going to be ok." I gave her a reassuring smile and we both went downstairs. I left her in the living room with Dianna and Naya and went to get dressed. When I came back I found all three of them playing with Rachel. Rachel was sitting on top of Sonny who was lying on the floor. I watched as Rachel played with one of her toys that Sonny was holding out to her. They were all laughing at the cat's playfulness. I smiled at the cute moment and came to sit by them. I watched them play for a few minutes more then asked "Are we all ready to go?"Dianna and Naya nodded and Sonny came over to me. She nodded and sat down to put her shoes on. Once we were all ready we all got into my car. I made sure Sonny was strapped in and pulled out of the driveway. Dianna was sitting in the front with me and Naya was in the back with Sonny. She was trying to get Sonny to talk to her but was having no luck. Sonny was looking out the window. She seemed really distracted. For the rest of the ride Sonny was silent while the rest of us talked and had a good time.
