Chapter 7-
Sonny's POV
I stood in the doorway of my apartment and stared at my mother and Marvin in horror. What had Marvin told her? My mom was the first one to break the more-than-awkward silence.
"Sonny, I've just been having a very, interesting, conversation with Marvin here. You never told me he was back in town?" my mom took a breath. Still with a stern look on her face.
I was unsure what kind of reaction to give, because I was unsure of what information Marvin had disclosed to her. I shot Marvin my "look of death", before answering my mom's question.
"Yeah well I didn't think I had to, besides, it slipped my mind," I gave two explanations, not knowing which was best. Soon after I regretted it, along with the tone of uncertainty I accompanied the claim with.
"Sonny, why do I feel that you're not being totally honest with me these days?" My mom asked me.
It was then I caught the look on Marvin's face that allowed me to realise that he had told my mother of his suspicions surrounding me and Chad. I took Chad's hand and he squeezed mine, telling me he knew what I was about to reveal to my mom.
"Look mom, I have something that, I, we," I said glancing to Chad, "need to tell you," I took a break to breathe. My heart was pounding like a sledge hammer and I couldn't even begin to get the words out. My gaze met Chad's and I knew by the look in his eyes that he knew I couldn't finish my sentence.
"Look, what Sonny is trying to say is that, she is… pregnant, with my child." Chad exclaimed.
Finally, I was able to breathe again and I spoke to my mother.
"Mom, this is what we were coming here to tell you, I am just over 8 weeks, and we have had a sonogram to confirm. I'm due December 22nd." I finished.
I stared at my mother and saw the disbelief written all over her face. Her mouth was frozen open in shock and her eyes were wider than I had ever seen them before. I was not sure whether she was disappointed or horrified.
"Mom say something." I murmured, staring at my feet. It was then I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. I wiped then away quickly.
"Sonny, I am so… disappointed in you. I trusted you to know better, and to not have to hear something like this from Marvin. Sonny I love you more than anything, but if you cannot deal with this problem, you will have to either move out or move back to Wisconsin with me. It's your choice." My mother stated sternly, and I could tell she wouldn't budge from this ultimatum. But I also knew that what she was asking of me was something she had no right to ask me to do. It would be a burden on me for the rest of my life. The other options both included losing someone I loved truly. Either my baby's father or my own mother.
"Mom how can you ask me to do something like this? To lose my baby, you or Chad. You know, to be honest you asking this of me made my decision a lot easier, because I would never kill my baby, and Chad has been nothing but supportive of me and this situation the whole time. But you... You've asked me to choose you over everything else from the second you've known. I thought I could count on you. I'm moving out, and I don't want to see you ever again, I'll come for my stuff when you're at work. Goodbye mom." I muttered and grabbed Chad's hand, as I turned and slammed the door behind me. It was then I burst into tears. Chad held me tightly to try and keep me calm.
"Sonny, you need to calm down, this can't be good for the baby." Chad said with a worried tone.
He couldn't have been more right because it was then that a sharp pain erupted in my stomach.
