Hey everyone, I am leaving tomorrow morning to go to Disney World! I'll be back May 23, so it will be about a week until I can update again. Because of that, I wrote a fairly long chapter and I think you will like it :) Not much more of this story left, but I'm already considering a sequel- let me know what you think. Thank you everyone, I'll be back soon! ~ Carrie

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sonny With a Chance.

CHAD'S POV

I sat in the waiting room with my chin buried in my hands. Suddenly my attention turned to a young girl, probably about eleven years old. She was sitting a few seats down from me, crying uncontrollably. I felt really bad for her; it was obvious that she was scared- and alone.

I walked over to the girl and sat in the seat next to her.

"Are you okay?" I asked, genuinely feeling sympathetic toward her.

"Not really," she mumbled through sobs. She finally took her face out of her hands and looked up at me. She had soft brown eyes, which of course reminded me of Sonny. "Oh my goodness," she mustered, "you're Chad Dylan Cooper."

"Yes I am," I snubbed, realizing I shouldn't get too cocky after the way I'd left Sonny alone.

"What's wrong?" I asked, trying to calm her down.

"My mom was in a car accident and she's in intensive care. Some drunk driver smashed in to her. She's out of surgery, but in pretty bad shape. I'm just upset because the nurses won't let me go see her for a while, so I just have to sit here, by myself, and worry."

"Well, maybe I can do something about that," I said, heading to the front desk. I had a sudden rush of empowerment; I am Chad Dylan Cooper after all.

"Excuse me ma'am," I sweetly spoke to a young nurse, "but could I speak to you for a moment?"

Her eyes grew wide and she nodded, leading me to the side of the desk. "You're Chad-"

"Dylan Cooper," I cut her off. "Listen, see that little girl over there crying her eyes out? Her mom just came out of surgery and she really wants to see her. Could you please do me a favor and let her go see her?" I pleaded, showing her my puppy dog eyes.

"I don't think I can," she responded. "Visiting hours aren't for another three hours."

"So you're just going to make this little girl suffer here for three hours?"

The nurse glanced over at the little girl and her face fell. "I'll see what I can do," she said as she walked off to talk to an older woman that did not look very friendly.

The older woman approached me, her voice booming harshly, "You're Chad Dylan Cooper! I'm a huge fan!"

Wow, first Sonny's grandpa and now her. I really didn't realize what a wide fan base Mackenzie Falls has.

I explained the situation to her and begged to let the little girl see her mother. I don't know what came over me, but I just hated to see her sitting there scared and alone.

"I can't do that," she'll have to wait," she said coldly.

"How about I get you and your family front row seats at the next season of filming for Mackenzie Falls? And you can meet the cast," I bargained.

"Oh all right," she said hastily, calling the girl over to take her to the room.

"Thank you," the little girl said softly, gently wrapping her arms around me. "I guess the magazines are wrong- you are a good guy," she smiled lightly and followed the nurse to see her mother.

I couldn't help but smile back. It made me feel good to help someone for a change.

Suddenly, I had a confidence boost. Maybe it was my old ego sprouting back up- I don't know. But I realized that I had just done the same thing to Sonny as had happened to that girl. I left her scared and alone. But after realizing that Chad Dylan Cooper had power once again; or at least enough to convince that nurse- maybe I could quit trying to be shallow and just go show Sonny some depth.

I paced up and the down the hallway where I had seen the doctor take her. I glanced through the tiny door windows, trying to find her. Then I spotted a few doors that were open. I made my way down the hall and peered in the rooms, finally finding her in the very last one. She was sitting on the table quietly. I lightly knocked on the door frame, causing the doctor to nod me to come in.

"What are you doing here?" Sonny asked softly.

I walked over to her, standing next to the examination table. "I came to be with you. I'm sorry I left you alone." I said, reaching over to take her hand. It was still trembling a little.

"Miss Monroe, I'll be back here in just a little while with your test results," the doctor assured, leaving Sonny and I in the room alone.

Sonny glanced down at my hand in her's. "So what's with the sudden change of heart?" she asked, shyly looking away.

"Well it has been a crazy weekend. I just realized that you're probably scared and might want a friend to be with you," I said, gingerly squeezing her hand as I sat next to her on the table.

"So we're friends?" she asked hopeful.

This is my chance- it's just the two of us. No one to interrupt, no Heather to ruin it. If I'm going to tell Sonny how I feel, I needed to now. But can I do it?

"Well, yes," I answered, causing the corners of Sonny's mouth to shift up into a smile. Then I gulped quietly, trying to push away the nerves that were forming with my next words. "But I was hoping to maybe be more."

Sonny sat there silently for a moment. It made me anxious.

Was she going to reject me? Was she mad, sad, or happy?

"You mean, you want to be my real boyfriend?" Sonny's asked confused. "Since when?"

"Well, I can't say that I haven't always had a slight crush on you, but here lately, it's grown to be more than that."

"What about that kiss at the wedding?" she asked. "Was it real?"

"100 percent," I answered sweetly. Before I could say anything else, she grabbed my tie and pulled me toward her intensely, causing my heart to skip. She touched her lips to mine; she was gentle, yet sultry. It was more passionate than the one before. I softly deepened the kiss, feeling her other hand twisting through my hair. I pulled her face closer to mine; no more room left to breathe. Eventually we had to though, so we broke apart, both with huge smiles plastered on our face.s

"So is this your way of asking me out?" I teased.

"I guess so," she answered numbly, but soon regained composure. "Chad Dylan Cooper, will you-"

"No," I cut her off. She gave me a sorrowful look.

"I wanted to ask you first," I smirked, causing Sonny's eyes to light up. I stood up in front of her, her deep brown eyes engaged to my blue ones. I took her hands in mine. "Sonny Monroe, will you be my real girlfriend?"

"I thought you'd never ask!" she squealed. She jumped up, giving me a hug and almost knocking me in to the doctor who was trying to enter the room.

"Miss Monroe," the doctor began, "you're going to be fine, you just suffered a mild concussion. There's no damage, but if you have one again, you still need to go to the hospital immediately." He handed her a bottle of pills and said "Here is a prescription to ease the throbbing in your head, but only take it if necessary. Take care of yourself," he smiled, escorting us out of the hospital.

"I don't think I'll be needing these," she said as she gazed up at me dreamily. Then she chunked the pills in the trash receptacle.

When we got in my car I glanced at the clock; it was only 8:30. "I bet the reception is still going on," I said eagerly. "Want to go back?"

"I don't want to see Heather again," she groaned.

"Well, how about a little payback?" I grinned, nodding to Sonny.

"Well maybe we can just swing by for a minute," she chuckled and reached over to swiftly kiss me on the cheek.

I couldn't help but smile because at this moment, I was the luckiest guy in the world.
