A/N: Please note that I changed the name of this story to 'Cuffed Together Forever'.


Chapter 7

Chad never got back to sleep, after staring at the ceiling for over an hour, he decided that laying around wasn't finding Sonny. After scribbling out a not to Connie, Chad bolted down to his car and headed towards the one place he thought Sonny would go, Tawni's apartment.

Driving the short trip to Tawni's, he was surprised to see that the lights where still on. Knocking on the door, it took all most a few minutes before Sonny opened the door.

"Chad, what are you doing here?"

"I was worried about you. You just take off, with no cell phone, and never hear from you. And your mother doesn't do anything about it. Can we please just talk? No screaming. Please?" Chad pleaded.

"Fine. Come on in. Tawni is in bed all ready, so we won't have any interruptions." Sonny said, stepping aside to let Chad inside.

"Sonny, we have a lot of changes going on here. And I really want to be with you through this whole thing. Sonny, I love you and I still do. That's my baby in there and I want to part of its life." Chad said, placing his hand on Sonny stomach.

Sonny smiled, grabbing hold of Chad's hand. "I really want you to be with me. I love you, Chad. I just don't want you to be with me just because you think that you have to be."

"Sonny, we have been together for a little over a year. I have loved you a year before that, why would I just get up and leave you now? And if you are worried about what everyone will think, screw them. This is our lives, and it really isn't any of there business."

Sonny leaned in and gave Chad a kiss on the lips. "So, are we in this together?"

"Yeah, I guess we are." Chad said.

Tawni Hart woke up the next morning at 6. She was surprised to see that Sonny wasn't on the cot that she had pulled out for her. Thinking that she had just went home in the middle of the night, was really surprised to see Sonny and Chad curled up on the couch together both sound asleep.

"WAKE UP!" Tawni yelled, causing both of them to fly off of the couch. "I just hope that you two used protection, I wouldn't want you to get pregnant. Oh Wait!" Tawni laughed, walking into the kitchen.

"I take it that you told her all ready." Chad said.

"Yeah, well she was the one that kind of figured it out. Tawni is a little smarter then I thought she was." Sonny said.

"Hey, I heard that!" came Tawni's voice from the kitchen, causing Sonny and Chad both to burst out laughing.

"I guess, we just have to face today. We should really tell Mr. Condor today, before he finds out from other people. Do you still want to quit?"

"I really didn't want to. I just thought that it would be the best thing. If Mr. Condor would let me, I would really want to stay on 'So Random!'."

Chad smiled at hearing this. "You are the best person on that show; I don't think he's going to let you go that easily."

"Chad Dylan Cooper, I heard that!" Tawni said.

"I take it Tawni doesn't agree with you." Sonny laughed.

"Well, I guess that I should head home and get ready for the day. You should call your mom and tell her your okay. We really should talk to her today too." Chad said, heading towards the door.

"Let's just take it one person at a time. I'll see you at the studios." Sonny said, pecking Chad on the lips as he headed out the door.

"So, you're staying now?" Tawni asked.

"I guess I am."

"Good, I'm glad." Tawni said, trying to hug Sonny but pulling back after changing her mind. She headed into her room.

"Same ol' Tawni." Sonny said, laughing to herself.


A/N: Well, I finally posted. Took sometime. Finally I think that I know where I am going to take this. And I'm happy where it is going to. Danielle.
