Running To Stand Still
Chapter Ten
Sonny POV
Month Later
When I said that nothing would change from that night I was wrong. A few things changed for the worse. First it's making me remember all the good times Chad and I had together. I don't want to think of what we use to have. I just want to keep being mad at him for what he did to me. The second thing is that it Made Mackenzie hate me. He didn't want to leave Chad, the one father figure he had, the one person he looked up to. The last thing was the worse of all, history was repeating it's self.
"So how are you Miss Munroe?" The doctor asked me as he walked into the hospital room.
"I'm doing ok." I answered truthfully. It's been two months since Chad figured out the truth, and I haven't herd anything further then when he broke into the apartment.
"Now you said you think you are 8 weeks (2 months) into your pregnancy. It looks like from the results of your test though that you're 16 weeks pregnant (4 months)." The doctor said looking throw his papers.
"That can't be right." I said remembering the last time I had sex before the one night stand with Chad was almost six years ago with… Chad.
"That's what the test show Miss Munroe. Now if you don't mind I'd like to listen to it's heart beat." The doctor said grabbing his stethoscope. I pulled my shirt up so he could listen for the baby's heartbeat. He seemed to move the stethoscope everywhere. "Hmm." The doctor said taking the stethoscope off. "It seems that there might be something wrong." The doctor said and instantly my heart dropped. I know I wasn't in a good place in my life to raze a baby, but it was spouse to be apart of my life, so I couldn't loose it now.
"Let's take a sonogram. It might help us see what's wrong." The doctor said putting the jell on my stomach.
He looked around for a second or two then he stopped the wand.
"It seems that you are only two months pregnant. The weight was wrong because your not having just one baby. Congratulations Miss Munroe you're having twins!" I was in shock. Twins? It was hard enough taking care of just Mackenzie by myself and he was just one baby. Hoe am I going to deal with twins?
I drove to the elementary school I enrolled Mackenzie in, still in complete shock. I didn't say much as I pulled up in the car line of other kindergarten mothers or when Mackenzie crawled in the car. The ride home was silent. I was lost in thoughts and Mackenzie was still giving me the silent treatment. Well as much of a silent treatment as any five year old boy can. It wasn't until we got home that the real shock settled in because of something a five year old said.
"Is Chad really my dad?" Mackenzie asked as I parked the car, I looked at him throw the rearview mirror. He was looking out his window then turned his head to look at me when I didn't answer.
"Where did you hear that?" I know answering a question with a question is never a good thing but what else am I spouse to say?
"Marvin told me." Mackenzie answered crossing his little arms in front of his little chest. I almost laughed. He looked so much like Chad!
"Marvin?" I asked. He couldn't mean Chad's butler could he?
"Yeah. He came to school today because Chaddy was talking to the fifth graders, and he saw me and talked to me, and he told me that and I don't think he meant to because he acted like he said something bad after that like the time I said that bad word I wasn't spouse to say, any how he told me that, and then he left with Chaddy." Mackenzie got out in one long breathe. My eyes bugged out at what he was saying.
"Mackenzie, did Chad ever see you?" I asked worried. It was bad enough that Marvin knew we were here, but if Chad knew that would be another story.
"Nope." Mackenzie said popping his "p" while he started swinging his feet in impatience. I swear he gets that from Chad! I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding in relief.
I got out of the car and went to go help Mackenzie out of his car seat that he hates. I was hoping that he forgot about his earlier question. My hopes were soon crushed as Mackenzie hopped out of the car.
"is Chad my daddy?" He asked again looking up at me with his blue sparkling hopeful eyes. Why does he have to be so much like Chad?
"I've told you this before, Mackenzie. You'll have to wait until you're older to find out who your father is." I said walking him up to our house. On out way up to the house I herd him start to sniffle. I turned around to look at him.
"Mackenzie, what's wrong?" I asked bending down to his level and putting my hands on his shoulders. He sniffled one more time before looking at me to answer, but I never expected the answer he gave me.
"You don't want me to have a daddy. That's why we had to leave Chaddy because you hate me and don't want me to be happy!" He screamed at me. Since when are five year olds this insightful? In my state of surprise I let go of Mackenzie's hand and he took that opportunity to run off.
" Mackenzie!" I yelled as I ran after him. He was running down the driveway. I was almost caught up to him- give me a break I'm in heels- when I herd it. It was the sound of a car on the road coming towards Mackenzie. "Mackenzie watch out!" I yelled as the car came into view. Mackenzie heard it too. He stopped in his tracks just as the car came to a squealing stop right in front of him. I ran out to Mackenzie and hugged him sobbing. "Oh Mackenzie thank god you're alright. Don't you ever scare me like that again." I scolded my son why still hugging him. I don't know how much good that was doing.
I was still hugging him when I herd a car door shut from the car that almost hit my baby boy. I looked up with a stern glare that quickly turned to terrified. Of course with my luck that it would be the one star that I wanted to stay away that would come to my son's school then almost run him over when he was leaving. Chad Dylan fucking Cooper. Excuse my language but I think I have the right to use it in this predicament.
"Sonny?" Chad asked astonished as if he just happen to be casually driving by my house which by the way is not on his way back home.
"Go away Chad you've ruin my life enough already." I spit at him still angry that he almost hit our son, and he even knew Mackenzie was his son.
"How has the greatest actor our generation, sexiest man of the year, and your first and further more best love ruined your life?" Chad asked smirking. Curse him for tiring to find humor in this so not humors situation.
"For starters you almost ran over my son." I growled at him.
"Don't you mean our son?" he asked raising his eyebrow.
"So it is true." Mackenzie whispered still in my arms.
"Yeah it's true, but it's also true that you disserve a better father then him." I said pulling Mackenzie away from the road.
"what have I done to hurt him besides almost hitting him with a car that I would never actually do." Chad yelled holding his arms out in the open air.
"You know what you did!" I yelled at him causing one of the neighbors to come out on their porch to see what was going on.
"Oh come one Sonny is this about that stupid tape? I told you I don't know what you are talking about when it comes to 'the tape'" Chad said putting air quotes around the tape.
"Well if you think that the topic of the tape is SO stupid then I never want to see you again Cooper and I'll just raise our kids by myself!" I yelled letting the plural accidentally slip. Noticing my mistake I hurried Mackenzie and myself in the house and locked the door behind use hearing Chad out side mumbling the one thing I hope he didn't hear.
"Kids?"
