Baby Makes 3
Chad smiled across the breakfast table at Sonny as Mrs. Munroe poured him a glass of orange juice. Sonny grinned back at him and took a huge chunk out of her French toast and placed her foot on his thigh. He jerked back surprised and gave out a soft chuckle at his wife earning him a few strange looks from across the table.
It'd been a week exactly since the two had rekindled the flame at the Lamaze class and they hadn't been able to keep their hands off each other since. Today would be their last break-fast before they left back for Los Angeles together.
"Hey Gina, can you pass me the syrup?" Sonny asked her sister keeping her eyes focused on Chad mischievously.
Gina sighed and passed the bottle to Sonny and pushed her food around with her fork before slowly pressing it to her mouth.
"Depressed much?" her Aunt Meg joked shaking her head.
Every since Jett left a few days ago happy-go-lucky Gina was as happy as dull reporter on the news channel playing on the TV behind her.
"I just… miss him so much", Gina smiled a little thinking about the love of her life.
Sonny scoffed, she never saw what her sister liked about Jett and she honestly didn't miss him. Sure he was handsome but he was rude, arrogant, sarcastic and snarky with a very infamous player.
"Whatever", Gina rolled her eyes and directed her attention to Sonny. " Chad used to be just like him".
"Used to be", Chad quickly corrected and pecked Sonny's cheek chewing on a piece of turkey bacon.
"Right sweetie ", Sonny smiled before resting her head on his square shoulder blade comfortably.
The Munroe's settled back into their early morning conversations, laughing and joking with each other. Mrs. Munroe stood up and re-poured everybody's drink before taking her seat again.
"So what time are you guy's flight?" she smiled wearily folding her hands against her chain with a grin. Having Sonny and Chad staying with them for the last couple of weeks was a dream. Feeling close to the couple was great but when they moved back to California Connie worried it wouldn't be the same.
"12 pm sharp", Chad smirked pointing his fork for emphasis before chomping down on his scrambled eggs.
"Aww", the whole table cooed disappointedly.
"Why so early?" Sonny's father, Joe asked.
Sonny waved her hand dismissively, " We have a 5 o clock doctor's appointment daddy".
Mr. Munroe nodded sternly but deep down inside he felt his heart breaking for his little girl. Even though she was married and expecting a baby she still came back running to him like a little girl. Honestly, he was going to miss it because this time she left it was going to be permanent. He felt a bigger heartache than when she first left for L.A. with her mother when she was 15 to film so random.
But, like all fathers do he grinned and bared it.
Connie squeezed her husband's hand sensing he was feeling the same way. " We just hope you don't forget to call, or visit us", she spoke sniffing.
"Jeez mom", Gina joked pushing her plate away from her and laughing. " They're not dying".
"I know", Mrs. Munroe teared. " I'm just going to miss them".
"Aww, mommy", Sonny grinned widely and touched her heart in the same place that her mother was.
Chad stood up and walked over to hug both Sonny's parents with a bear hug draping his arms around their shoulders before giving them a tight squeeze.
"No worries, we'll call every day. Visit every birthday, holiday, party- trust me you guys are going to be sick of seeing us", Chad joked giving Mrs. Munroe and quick peck on the cheek before going back to his seat.
"Just making sure".
…..
"Sorry just making sure. I can't make an appearance today Chad and Sonny are coming back today", Tawni Hart confirmed balancing her cell phone against her ear and shoulder while juggling groceries skimming through the aisles.
Today was busy, she had to do a guest appearance on a talk-show, shop for Chad and Sonny's gift, and visit her publicist. She sighed, thankful the paparazzi wasn't on her tail. She had her hair in a messy up-do ponytail, in a pair of checkered boxer shorts, white tank top and pink Ugg boots.
Just when Tawni was about to walk toward the dairy aisle, someone called her name in the distance. She spun around quickly fearing it was one of those pesky paparazzo's who had found her out. Tawni squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice and nearly froze.
It wasn't the paparazzi, but a paparazzi favorite.
"James?" she whispered to herself wide-eyed and started to make a B-line away until he chuckled.
"Yeah, I know it's you", James joked holding up two cartons of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Tawni turned around embarrassedly when she got a better look at him and felt her slender arms shake wearily as the grocery bag she had teetered back and forth until it met the floor. He looked phenomenal. James skinned looked sun-kissed like he had just come from vacation, he sported a slight midnight after-shaved and his hair was perfectly coifed. Not to mention he looked fresh and clean cut, sporting crisp Diesel jeans and a gray Ralph Lauren V neck sweater.
James quickly dashed on the floor with her to help her pick up her groceries.
Tawni smiled embarrassedly and pushed her hair out of her face while stuffing everything back inside her bag in a hurry. She cursed herself for looking so horrible, she didn't even have on an ounce of makeup.
But, in James opinion she never looked more refreshed. Her skin glowed, and she looked perfectly fine without makeup unlike most celebs.
"Thanks", Tawni stated once James handed her the bag back.
A awkward silence fell between them. They hadn't seen each other since the whole pool party incident when she broke up with Travis.
"What's been up?" James asked hopefully.
Tawni shrugged, "Lonely, but I'm house sitting until Chad and Sonny come back today", she joked before looking away uncomfortably.
James bit his bottom lip and nodded his head. "I was going to pick Chad and Sonny up in a few hours. Want to catch up?" he smiled shaking the ice cream cartons teasingly.
Tawni laughed, "When you put it like that, hell yes".
Tawni and Travis paid for the groceries as they made a quiet exit outside toward the parking lot.
They walked side by side laughing as they carried out groceries unaware of the paparazzi snapping pictures of them.
"Tawni, James! You back together?" a couple paparazzi yelled appearing from their cars parked across the street.
"Tawni did you spend the night?"
Tawni covered her face and sighed looking across the parking lot. "I'm parked all the way over there", she tilted her chin in the far left.
James shrugged pressing the alarm to his BMW as it beeped awaiting. "We can take mine", he stated ignoring the nagging the paparazzi.
She smiled casually slipping inside the passenger side while James took the wheel before quickly jetting off into the street, away from the pesky paparazzi. He never understood what they sound so fascinating about grocery shopping that they had to document it.
…
Sonny adjusted her head in the plush seats of the Cooper's private jet. It was as luxurious and comfortable as a 5-star hotel. It had been a gift from Chad's parents as a late wedding gift, they insisted their pregnant new daughter in law fly nothing but the best.
Her legs were sprawled across the lounge seat comfortably as she continued to read a baby name book Chad emerged from the kitchen air to sit behind her. He wrapped his arms across her neck and pecked the top of her head peeking at what she was reading.
"Christopher? Calvin? Craig?" he laughed shaking his head. " Why are you looking at boy names".
Sonny quickly shut the book and widened her eyes, " I just want a different name for her".
"I'm all ears babe", Chad nudged her to open the book open again and kissed the side of her neck to reassure her.
"I like the name Elizabeth, Jordan, Aliana", Sonny listed in deep thought. Chad zoned out and smiled down at his wife, she didn't know how everything she did amazed him. He was so glad they were finally ready to work things out and finally put things in the past.
Sonny turned to looked at him curiously, " Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chad smiled sheepishly and played with the tips of her hair lovingly, " I just missed us", he breathed honestly and rested his forehead against hers tiredly.
She smiled stroking his soft blond hair before quickly bolting upward like fire had been set beneath her.
"What's wrong?" he screamed alarmed.
"Gotta pee", Sonny yelled over her shoulder before sprinting out toward the restrooms.
Chad chuckled to himself and shook his head relaxing his loafers in his plush let out seat and reached for a glossy nightstand on the table next to him. He quickly regretted picking up the Ok! Magazine when he saw Portlyn's face smiling wide with an above title 'PORTLYN'S PREGNANCY'
He quickly shuffled the magazine to the bottom of the books and looked worriedly out the window when Sonny emerged. The Portlyn thing was like a constant black cloud following him everywhere he went.
"So I talked to the pilot, and he said we should be landing the next 20 minutes", Sonny beamed as Coop barked and jumped up and down following her to her seat.
"Chad have you talked to Portlyn?" she asked snapping her fingers with a giggle as he tore his eyes out the window.
"huh?"
"Have you seen this peach cobbler?" Sonny asked excitedly opening the tubaware her mother had packed.
Chad laughed smitten at his wife, she was so innocent and wide-eyed at everything. They had a top chef preparing meals on their jet and yet she opted to eat her mother's home-made food.
"Its sick", Sonny confirmed before taking a big scoop and eating it followed by a long, "Mmmmmmmm".
"C'mere", Chad anchored his index finger for her to come closer as she casually sat on his lap and set the tubaware down. He squeezed her sides playfully and buried his face on her small shoulder blade.
"What's that smell?" he asked.
Sonny scoffed, " I'm pregnant okay, I can't just hold it in".
Chad laughed moving his head away from her shoulder and smiled. " What? I meant your perfume it smells great".
Sonny smiled embarrassedly. " Oh".
After a few more giggles and stolen kisses the couple had finally landed at the airport met by the paparazzi and screaming fans awaiting their return.
"Channy forever!", fans chanted as they exit the jet looking very much the super stars they were. Sonny sported black leggings with a simple flowy white top with a light wash blue jean jacket and flip flops while Chad kept casual in a yellow polo and white jeans.
They both wore over-sized designer tinted shades as they walked toward their chauffeured limousine hand in hand. They decided to hire someone to drive rather than bothering James or Tawni.
After a 30 minute drive the couple had finally made it to their Bel-Air mansion snuggled behind a thick black gate. Sonny smiled, it felt good to be home. Actually it felt great.
Chad unlocked the door carrying in two of their bags and set them down at the grand foyer.
Sonny set Coop down as the playful dog excitedly bounced and skidded across the house exploring its original home.
"Oh my god I can't wait to see the nursery", she beamed and was about to walk up stairs until Chad stopped her by grabbing her sides.
"Did you hear that?" He whispered.
"Hear what?" Sonny whispered back confused but was interrupted by someone laughing.
Sonny's eyes widened, it couldn't be Tawni because she was out running errands.
"Who could it be?"
Chad shook his head nervously and opened the coat closet and pulled out a baseball bat and grabbed Sonny's hand as they slowly inched toward the living room. He counted to three and flicked the lights on.
Tawni's blonde head appeared from the couch wide eyed and delirious as she smiled anxiously .
"Hey T", Sonny beamed excitedly wiggling her fingers until she saw James head appear next with no shirt on.
Sonny gasped and covered her eyes as Tawni tried to cover her chest.
"Aw man, not on the good couch", Chad complained with a small chuckle.
Tawni stood up and tugged her shirt down. "This is embarrassing, but on a side note: hugs!", she beamed jogging over to squeeze her best friends.
She looked down at Sonny's stomach amazed and cooed wiggling her fingers. " Look at the belly", she beamed placing her hand on Sonny's round stomach.
James walked over as he and Chad fist pumped each other and reached over to give Sonny a hug.
"Well now that we're all here, we mine as well check out the baby's nursery", Sonny beamed leading the pack upstairs.
"What the hell was that?" Chad whispered punching James in the chest.
James shrugged, " I don't want to talk about it".
"What about Portlyn, have you worked things out?"
Chad shrugged. " I don't want to talk about it".
