A/N
Guys… even though I started a new story, this one is continuing without a single doubt. My ideas are back so review so I can update. Anyway… this main author's note is about me skipping the little weeks in between; to get farther along in the pregnancy. So yeah… enjoy!
SONNY POV (22 weeks)
"Ugh… " I pouted into the floor length mirror. I stared into the mirror at the white sundress that I had on. I felt pudgy and disgusting. My hair looked nice though. That's the only plus. I had started showing weeks ago, not too much. You would only notice if my clothes were off or I wore a tight shirt, which I don't anymore. I looked horrible, tears started welling up. I sat on the floor, crossing my legs
"Sonny" Chad yelled running up the stairs into our bedroom. I got up and held the closet door shut. He tried to slide it open but I held it firm "What are you doing?" He asked
"Leave me alone" I sniffed. Normally I wouldn't be crying but being pregnant makes you very emotional. I also know the gender. I found out the last doctors visit. Chad had to stay filming so he doesn't know.
"Did I do something?" He sighed. I choked on some sobs
"No…" I slid the doors open a little, only letting him see my face "You didn't"
"So whats wrong?" He pushed my hair back out of my face
"Can you please… call Tawni and tell her to get over here?"
"Why?"
"Please?" I slid the door shut in his face. I felt bad but I needed a girl. I stared at myself in the mirror longer than before. This made the tears cascade even more. I was in here for about twenty minutes when I heard talking from the outside
"She won't come out"
"Why not?" Tawni asked
"I have no idea. But she's crying" There was a knock on the door, followed by it sliding open. Tawni stepped in quickly before shutting it
"You're freaking your husband out" She chuckled. She saw my tears and created a genuine face. "What's wrong, Sonny?"
"I feel… fat" I sighed into my hand "I feel like everyone is always staring…" I sobbed quietly
"No one is staring and you aren't fat"
"Tawni… I can't fit into any of my clothes" I pulled out a pair of jeans that I now had to wear with the spandex over the top. Jacobs 'prescribed' it "My jeans have to have spandex on it" I threw them down, sinking to the floor
"Sonny… you're pregnant. A baby… is growing inside of you. You're not supposed to be skinny"
"I know I'm not, Tawni. It's just so damn frustrating" I cried and laughed at the same time "I feel huge. I eat every… four hours and my hormones are fucked up"
"You're eating for two. You and your baby. I can't really help you with your emotional problems right now. And… you're not huge. Octo- mom was huge"
"Everyone stares"
"No one stares. If they do it's because you're pregnant and have a pregnancy glow. Honestly… I stared at you before you were pregnant and I'm staring at you now. I'm not even going to lie. Half the time I stare at you… I'm picturing how I can do your hair the next time you ask" I chuckled putting my hands in my lap
"I'm serious, Tawni" I stood, looking her in the face
"Sonny…" she pulled me over to the two seats in the closet "What is this really about?"
"I'm afraid…"
"Of what?" She asked. I stared down at the floor. I'm afraid of Chad not liking me when I get bigger "I can't help you if you don't tell me"
"In a couple of weeks I'm going to get bigger… what if Chad… doesn't like me or want to touc-"
"Okay…" She cut me off "Sonny… that man loves you. So that's definitely not what this is about"
"Yes it is, Tawni"
"I'll be back" She rolled her eyes and got up, leaving the closet. I started crying again
CHAD POV
I left Tawni and Sonny upstairs so I won't be in their… business. Although Sonny crying and not telling me whats wrong was killing me. I tried thinking back to see if I did anything to upset her but I couldn't recall. I hadn't done anything. I heard someone coming down the stairs and into where I was at. Tawni came into the den and stood in front of me
"What's wrong with her?" I asked standing up
"Sonny feels… that later in the pregnancy… you won't like her because she's going to get bigger" What the hell?
"Why would she feel that way?" I exclaimed. I'll still love her no matter what
"She also feels that you won't want to touch her" She sighed. Truthfully… I always want to touch her. It's her clothes that's always in the way "I don't know why… she feels like that because I never been pregnant but you should go talk to her" She turned on her heels, heading for the stairs. I followed behind her up the stairs. She walked into the bedroom and too the closet. Sonny was sitting there in the seat. Tawni stood next to me. I looked at her… subliminally giving her a message for privacy. So did Sonny. "Oh… Sorry" She mumbled and closed the door on her way out
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked. She nodded slightly "After James raped you… and court… how many times did I tell you that you were perfect and fine the way you were?"
"I don't know" She shrugged "What kind of question is that?"
"I told you… at least over ten times, Sonny. Right now… you're even more perfect because you're carrying my child. You think I won't like you because you're going to get bigger? That's what is supposed to happen. And I won't like you because I'll love you. I like your pregnancy curves. They are a huge turn on. Why would you think like that?"
"I don't know. I just did… I'm freaking huge" I pulled her out of her seat, sighing
"Sonshine… look into that mirror" I turned her around, she sighed staring into the reflective surface with a bored face "Really… Really look at yourself"
"I'm a house"
"You're carrying a baby. My baby in particular" I wrapped my arms around her growing soft abdomen, lightly caressing it "You're too beautiful. It kind of hurts, you know. You thinking I won't want to touch you. I mean… where the hell did you get that from?" She laughed and wiped her tears
"I don't know. I just don't know. It just hit me like a wave that… I was going to get bigger… and then that thought ran through my head"
"Sonny… trust and believe… that I, your husband, Chad Dylan Cooper, wants to touch you all the time. If you truly let me have my way… there would never be clothes on you"
"Nice…" She giggled, slapping my chest. She sighed heavily "I'm sorry…"
"Was that because of the baby?"
"Yes" I got down on my knees, kissing her covered stomach. She laughed as I rested my head against it
"Hey… baby. You should stop making mommy cry" She laughed again, running her fingers through my hair
"It would be really funny if he kicked your cheek"
"That wouldn't be funny…" I chuckled before standing back up to face her "I need you to do something for me"
"Depends on what it is"
"Go to lunch with Tawni… so you two can discuss any special preparations for the baby shower. Which… by the way… how are you doing that when you don't know the gender?"
"I never said that"
"Wait… what" I put my hand on her shoulder, stopping her from leaving the closet "Y-you know the gender?"
"Maybe…" She said in a sing song voice
"You found out at the last doctors visit?"
"Maybe" She said in the same voice again, grinning
"Tell me" I asked her. I want to know. How can she know for three weeks and not tell me the gender. I need to know "Tell me…"
"Tell you what?" She played, sliding on a pair sandals
"Tell me the gender"
"I don't know the gender" She shrugged
"Sonny…" I whined. It was childish but needed
"You really want to know?" I nodded "It's a… person"
"Sonny…" I chuckled
"You'll find out later, Chad" She kissed me before walking out of the closet. Great. Now it's stuck in my head. Is it a boy? Or a girl? Oh my god… I need to know. I groaned walking out the closet. I heard the car doors slam outside. My phone buzzed in my pocket
'Pick out names. One for a boy… and one for a girl. I already have mine chosen' – SC Pick out names? It's hard to do that without knowing what the baby is. I walked around the house trying to names in my head… if it's a girl… Sophia. Sophia Cooper. Yeah that sounds good
'What are yours?' – CDC
'Not telling you :)' – SC Oh my god. I don't know. Now really isn't the time to not tell me what I want to know. I lounged in basement, playing pool thinking when my doorbell rang. I opened it up to see Grant standing there furious. I have never seen him this mad. He swung his arm, trying to punch me. He caught my jaw… Holy FUCK! I haven't been hit like that in years
"Whoa!" I moved back a few feet, holding my jaw "What the fuck did I do?"
"You knew that Tawni… and Nico fucked! And didn't tell me?" He raged. His chest heaved up and down
"What!" Shit "No… they never fucked. I mean… back when we worked at condor studios… yeah" I'm a horrible friend for lying
"Recently, you ass!"
"No… I didn't know. She and Nico slept together" I'm so going to hell "When?" I asked trying not to get swung at again
"Don't give me that bullshit, Cooper"
"Grant… I did not know that Tawni and Nico had sex" I massaged my face "You didn't have to hit me"
"It was the first thing I could think of" I wiped my mouth with the bottom of my shirt
"A 'hi how's it going' would've been nice" I looked at my white tee "Fuck… man I'm bleeding"
"I'm sorry" He stepped closer
"Close the door. Come in" I directed. I walked into the kitchen, taking a paper towel. I ran it under cold water, running the towel over my face
"So… uh… where's Sonny"
"Out. You know… it's only fair for me to hit you back. But you seem stressed so I'm not going to do that"
"Thanks, I guess" He leaned against the counter. I went back into the basement to continue my single game of pool. "Tawni is really fucked up… how could she do that" Why do people come to me for their problems? I'm the worst at advice "She broke up with the bastard. Then slept with him. Then came back to me"
"Wow…" My lying is going to get me killed. I racked the balls so we both could play. He chose his cue, I let him break
"That was a slut move"
"That's kind of mean, don't you think?" I hit the stripped eleven in the pocket "Tawni is actually… really nice"
"She's a slut…" Harsh
"We're kind of old for those names, aren't we? She's not a slut. It was one guy. A slut is giving it up to multiple men"
"I don't need a vocabulary lesson" He stated, he sounded annoyed
"It might've been an accident. On both their halves" He stared at me, angrily then his expression changed to a calm one
"So… she accidently tripped and landed on his dick… ten times" I laughed. That was funny "Or he tripped and fell in… penis first" I laughed harder, when I really shouldn't be
"You're fucked up for that" I managed to get out "How did you find out?" He shrugged
"I heard from multiple people"
"Names?"
"Have none"
"Okay…"
I heard the alarm beep as the front door opened. Grant was still here… we were on our tenth game of pool. Besides the fact of him cheating… throughout the game.
"Chad!" I heard Sonny yell
"Basement! But I'm coming up!" I yelled back up. I put the cue on the table and walked up the stairs, Grant behind me. She was in the kitchen setting bags down from babies' r us "You emptied the store?"
"No…" She giggled "I bought baby safe paint"
"Baby safe paint?"
"I don't know. It's new and recommended" She quickly walked over to me "Why is your jaw swollen?"
"I… fell" She exhaled putting her hand on her hips "Grant swung on me when I opened the door. It was a misunderstanding" I explained, kissing her slowly
Hi… Grant" She smiled weakly. I understood why when Tawni came into the kitchen. You can cut the tension in this room with a butter knife
"Where do you want me to put that big pack of diapers…?" She trialed off, gazing at Grant then back to Sonny "I think upstairs would be best, right?" She nodded "Hey… babe" She kissed him on the cheek. Oh… shit. She's going to act like nothing happened and she has nothing to hide
"How's Nico… Tawni?" He asked, Sonny looked at me, raising her eyebrows. I nodded, she shook her head
"I wouldn't know" She answered
"You're a fucking liar" He smirked… it's about to go down
"What?"
"You slept with Nico… while we were dating" Tawni stood there like a deer caught in headlights
"Who… told you?"
"I found out"
"From who…"
"Does it matter?" His voice rose slightly. I stepped in front of Sonny instinctively "You slept with him… what's done is done"
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry… she says I'm sorry. Tawni fucking Hart says sorry. That's a first…" Sonny sat down behind the counter. I did the same. Why do we get ourselves mixed in people's problems?
"I really am"
"I don't care. You gave it up to him, Tawni. Fast. I don't think you had a second thought" Wow he's ruthless. Every word that came out his mouth, Tawni flinched. On the brink of tears "I loved… emphasis on the past tense 'loved' you Tawni. I treated you good… why would you do that? You couldn't keep your legs crossed around him"
"Grant I'm sorry. I didn't mean it I s-swear" Tawni's choking on tears "I feel horrible. Especially for lying"
"I felt like the idiot. You came back to the apartment every night saying 'hey honey' and 'only you honey' but in all truth you were out being a slut"
"It was one time" She cried
"I don't care. Was it because I didn't want to go to New York?" He asked "That's a very fucked up reason to cheat on me"
"I didn't cheat on you" She silently cried harder, his jaw clenched
"That's the most bullshit I heard today. I'm done, Tawni. You and Nico can go screw each other harder. Oh wait… Nico is engaged! So you can't. You have no one to screw or talk with. Have a nice life" He pulled a bracelet off of Tawni's wrist. She erupted into violent sobs, her body shaking furiously. Sonny got up and went to her side
"Upstairs… come on" She pushed Tawni to go forward. But she didn't budge. She reached into her pocket and took out her car keys. She ran out of the front door. Her car started, the tires screeching across the black top "Grant… that was mean. Extremely mean"
"She needed to hear it" He mumbled walking out the front door. Wow… I'm not getting involved with any ones shit anymore
SONNY POV
"Tell me…" He whined later that night… I smirked as I got comfortable underneath the covers. It's around 2 am. The baby is kicking and flipping making me unable to sleep. Since I was up Chad felt the need to be up to even though I told him to go to sleep. He refused. He doesn't want me to stay up by myself. He feels bad that I'm awake and he isn't. That's stupid but I can't force him to sleep
"What names did you choose?"
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Not yet"
"Then I'm not telling you the names I chose"
"Either way… you still don't know the sex" He sighed…
"The girls name… Sophia…"
"Sophia? That's so common" I chuckled "If it's a girl… I like Leighton. Leighton Samantha Cooper"
"Leighton's a nice name. But Samantha is long. We should shorten it to Sam. Leighton Sam Cooper" I like tha
"That's the girls then… what did you choose for boys?"
"I didn't… But it has to start with a C and have D as a middle name" He said. I laughed loudly
"You want his initials to be CDC?" I asked, he nodded, rubbing my belly
"Yes…"
"So… how about Cain? C-A-I-N" I suggested… he shook his head
"That reminds me of Cane. C-A-N-E" He spelled out
"Carter?"
"Common" He disagreed
"Christopher?"
"Really common"
"Conan" I laughed jokingly. I know he hated that guys show so I thought I'd mess with him
"Nope…"
"Zac?" I tried even though it didn't start with C. He still hates Zac Efron
"Hell no" He chuckled "Caden… that sounds nice"
"Caden Dylan Cooper" I recited
"Sounds like a strong name"
"That's because it is. It's strong… he's going to be strong. Like his father" I prayed he heard the 'he'. I'm happy I'm having a boy first. They're easier to take care of. And can be protective for their sister
"He?" He sat up suddenly "You said he?" His excitement filled the room
"I sure did"
"We're having a boy?"
"Mhm" I nodded, sitting up slowly
"I'm getting a son?"
"Mhm" A grin formed on his face, which made one form on mine
"Oh… a boy!" He kissed me hard on the mouth. It felt good. It felt needed and loved "I love you"
"I love you too"
"And I love you, Caden" He leaned down to my belly before placing a kiss on it. Caden kicked the spot were Chad once was. I laughed… kissing him softly. My two boys were both happy.
