A/N: Hey, this was one of the few chapters I didn't type on the notes on my iPhone, so I had to type it, which is why it took kinda a while. =\. Anyway, here it is. I hope you like this chapter.

The next two weeks went by quickly. Soon, it was Sonny's last show - though only Sonny and Marshall knew that.

Sonny was boarding a plane back to Wisconsin that night. She was going home. She would see Lucy and she'd be away from...him. It was a win-win. Other than the reason she was moving back: the whole pregnancy thing.

As Sonny said goodbye to her cast mates after the show, she tried to hold back the tears. She was incredibly hormonal, but they didn't know that and they wouldn't understand why saying a simple "goodbye," seemingly until the next day, got her so emotional.

However, seeing as Sonny was always a hugger, they didn't find it too strange when she wrapped her arms around each of them as she said her goodbyes.

Sonny tried to be cheerful as she walked out of the prop room, but it was difficult.

As Sonny reached her car, she let the tears fall slowly, being careful to not let them blur her vision. She had to go - she had a flight to catch.

Sonny's mom was going to meet her at the airport. Sonny would be flying, but Connie was going to drive from California to Wisconsin so they would have a car. She would be alone in Wisconsin for a few days, but she would be staying with Lucy for that time.

Lucy still didn't know the real reason why Sonny was moving back. Sonny thought, as her best friend, Lucy deserved to be told in-person about her pregnancy, not during an expensive, long-distance phone call.

Lucy would likely figure it out on her own, however. She was the one who was going to be picking Sonny up at the airport, and Lucy could always sense exactly what was wrong with her best friend. Plus, the weight gain was definitely noticeable on Sonny's petite frame, though it wasn't a clear indicator of the situation – yet.

As Sonny reached the airport, she called her mom to find out where she was. Her mom quickly made her way out to the car to help Sonny with her luggage.

Sonny reached to grab the biggest suitcase, but her mom stopped her.

"Eh, eh, eh! No, you carry this," Connie told her, shoving Sonny's small carry-on bag into her arms, "and nothing else. You're not supposed to carry heavy objects when you're pregnant."

Sonny rolled her eyes as she walked ahead of her mom into the airport.

As the reached the area where Connie couldn't venture beyond without a boarding pass, Sonny stopped. Her mom stood across from her and put her hands on Sonny's face.

"Alright, Sonny," Connie started, "I love you, and I'll see you in a few days."

"I love you, too, Mom," Sonny replied, forcing a small smile.

"Try to have some fun with Lucy, okay? You've been so gloomy lately."

"Gee, I wonder why," she replied sarcastically yet monotonously, glancing at her stomach.

"Just promise me you'll have some fun. Smile a bit, laugh a little! And not one of those fake laughs or forced smiles. Real ones!"

"I'll try, Mom. I have to go now. See you in a few days. I love you."

Connie placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead. "Love you, too; have a safe flight."

***

Sonny's eyes moved from side to side as she glanced around the airport, scoping out Lucy. When her eyes landed on her awesome best friend, she actually smiled her first genuine grin since finding out she was pregnant.

"Luce!" Sonny called out, quickly moving toward said person.

"Sonny!"

The two friends embraced as they reached each other, staying in each other's arms for several moments.

As they pulled away, Lucy insisted on examining Sonny.

"You've been sad lately," Lucy stated. It was most definitely not a question. Lucy always knew. Sonny bit her lip wishing just this once that Lucy didn't have such a good problem detector. "What's wrong, Sonny?"

Sonny nearly choked on air as she opened her mouth to reply. "Can I, uh, tell you when we get to your house? It's awful crowded here."

Lucy nodded, her brows furrowing in concern. The fifteen minute car ride was awfully quiet, filled with small talk that quickly died down.

When they got to Lucy's house, they left Sonny's bags in the car – Lucy needed to know what was going on ASAP.

"Okay, tell me everything, Sonny," Lucy demanded as they sat on her bed.

Sonny took a deep breath and subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach. "You can't tell anyone, Luce, okay? Because the tabloids can't know. I moved back here for a reason, but it's not because I was fed up with Hollywood."

Lucy eyed Sonny's delicately placed hand. "Oh my God; you're pregnant!"

Sonny nodded, diverting her eyes away from Lucy.

"It's Chad's, isn't it?"

Sonny's eyes widened. "Is that fact so obvious?"

"No! I mean…well, yeah. To me at least. I could tell that you liked him; it was so easy to see."

"Well, I don't like him anymore. He's an asshole who doesn't take responsibility for his mistakes."

"I'm so sorry, Sonny," Lucy soothed as she wrapped her arms around her best friend. Sonny cried into Lucy's shoulder for a couple of minutes before pulling away and wiping the tears from her face.

"How far along are you?" Lucy asked.

"Four months."

"Wow," said Lucy, not quite sure of how else to respond. "Are you going to keep it?"

"I…don't know," Sonny replied softly. "I've been thinking about it non-stop for the last three weeks. I mean…I'm going to be 17 when this baby is born. That's hardly old enough to raise a child! I have no idea what to do! I don't want to ruin my child's life because I was too young to be able to provide for him or her.

"On the other hand, I don't know if I'll be able to give up this little person who is half me and has spent nine months inside of me. I don't know if I'm that strong.

"No matter what I choose, I have to be stronger than I've ever thought I am. It's the most difficult decision I've been faced with in my life, and I don't know how I'm going to decide."

"Sonny, I know this is a tough choice, and you should decide this on your own, but if it makes a difference at all, I think you'd make a great mom."

Sonny half-smiled and then wrapped her arms around Lucy once again. "Thank you."
