Heya! New chapter, courtesy of nangelgirl923's nagging (jokes honey), here it is!

Warning: Channy fight...please forgive me for some of the things Chad and Sonny say to each other. I tried to balance it out, but I think Chad is harsher than Sonny...well, off you read...

Chapter 25-Driven Away

Sonny's POV

We arrive at Condor Studios at around three o'clock, parking in the space marked 'reserved for Sonny Munroe'. I get out of the car and head up to the studio, Sara following closely behind.

"So, where do we go to look for Chad?" Sara asks me.

"Uh…Chad's usually on his break around now. That means he'll either be at his dressing room, or in the cafeteria."

Sara nods, "OK, then. You check the cafeteria, I'll try his room."

"Call me if you find him." I tell her, before remembering she has no credit, "Uh…call me on his phone." I say, hoping Chad won't have deleted my number from his contacts already.

I head straight to the cafeteria, upset when I realise Chad isn't around. I see his cast-mates sat at their table, but decide not to interfere and ask them where he is – if he's told them that'll cause an inferno. Even if he hasn't, it'll cause an inferno. I guess I'll just have to look for him myself.

On the way out, I bump into someone. I think to myself 'sorry' (what's the use in that?) before looking up to see who I've hit.

"Sonny?"

I look up, heart racing at the familiar voice. I then notice the person I've bumped into has blonde hair…

(A/N…But it's not who you'd think. Gotcha! :D I hope…)

"Sonny!"

Tawni grins and I notice I've bumped into her, along with the rest of my cast. I grin happily.

"Guys!" They pull me in for a hug, even Tawni (surprisingly), "It's so great to see you!"

"You too!" Grady laughs.

"So…" Tawni gives me a 'tell me' look and says, "How was the big wedding? How was your dress? Was it pretty? Was it a good day for it?"

I laugh, "You make it sound like I was the bride." I say, and they laugh.

"Don't be stupid, Sonny," Zora says.

"We know you too love-birds have something going on. I bet he'll propose any day now!" Tawni squeals, "To say the truth, when you get over the rivalry you two are perfect together!"

I blink, "Seriously? You're OK with me and Chad?"

They nod, Tawni somewhat over-excited.

"I wish Chad felt the same." I mumble, and they all frown.

"What?" Nico asks.

"Chad though I was cheating on him with my ex-boyfriend." I explain, "And that I never wanted to come to California in the first place, and that I loved Wisconsin the most. But I only said it for a dare! And the same with the whole cheating thing – it was all a misunderstanding!"

Tawni's smile turns upside-down. Her thoughts on Chad seem to have changed dramatically once again – from, 'aw, so cute', to 'UGH! That creep!'

"That dirty little weasel!" She yells, turning her back on me and storming off, and I sigh. Great. Tawni's gonna get involved. Things never end well when Tawni gets involved.

After bumping into my friends, I head straight to Chad's dressing room. If he's not there, then I give up. Where else does Chad hang? Exactly. He'd better be here…

Ouch! While ignoring where I was going, I think I bumped into someone. I look up to apologize to them, but my heart does a cartwheel when I see who I hit.

"Sonny?"

"Chad?"

I smile when I see him, "Funny bumping into you!"

Chad finds it far from amusing though.

"What are you doing here?" He scowls, "I told you not to come here."

"Not true!" I say, "You told me not to call you."

"Oh, just stop it, Sonny."

I blink, "Stop what?"

"Your stupid innocent act, OK? I can see right through it."

I step back. To be honest, I never though I'd hear him say anything like that to me.

"Chad, I want to explain something to you…" I say, but he interrupts me.

"No, Sonny," He says, "I don't wanna hear it."

I groan, "Will you stop that?"

"What?" He yells.

"Just…that!" I reply, "Acting like you're too cool to know or care. Being that stupid CDC character of yours."

His scowl turns into a frown, "I'm not acting." He says, his volume in his voice building up, "And it's not a character! It's me!"

"Oh, really?" I say, "Coz the real you wouldn't be such an idiot. The real Chad would listen to what I have to say. But no! All you care about is your stupid acting and your reputation! I bet you never even really cared about me in the first place! You were just pretending you were!"

"Was not!" He yells, before his face falls a little, now he just looks scared, "I really did love you, and you threw that away. You know how heart-broken I was when I saw you and Callum together? You know what I thought?"

"It was a stupid bet!" I yell.

"Yeah, I believe that." He says, and I growl.

"Will you stop it, Chad? Stop it right now!"

"I. Will. Not." He says, and I frown.

"Fine," I say, "Then we're over."

I walk away, head high, before Chad yells in a high-pitch voice, "We already were over!"

"I don't care!" I scream back, before heading straight for my car.

When I get there, I sigh. I slump in the seat, almost crying. I won't though. Chad Dylan Jerk-face isn't worth it. At this point, Sara arrives.

"Hey, Sonny. Did you find…Sonny?"

I look up.

"What happened?"

I laugh humourlessly, "Chad and I had a huge fight…that's it, I think. There's no way we'll get back together now."

She frowns, "I'm sorry, Sonny."

"Don't be," I say, "I'm better off without that weasel…" I then put on my best fake smile for her, "Hey, we should get you back to Wisconsin. I'll drive you, OK?"

She smiles in the same fake way that I did. "Sure."

Chad's POV

I get home, groaning, collapsing onto the couch with a thud and ignoring the TV blaring at me. Something, or someone, is pulling at my jeans leg, and when i look, i see Abby. I smile sadly, picking her up off the floor and onto my lap. She giggles, hugging me tightly.

"Heya, my good girl," I say, mentally slapping myself for thinking for a sec that Sonny isn't good. I don't know anymore. After what I said to her, she'll never come back, even if i wanted her to. I hug Abby softly, being so tired, and it turns out we both end up sleeping right there for the night.

I blink, feeling tired as I wake up, rubbing my eyes. I feel something on my lap and feel weird about it until I remember Abby's there. I look down to see my sister but jump when I see Abby isn't there, rather, a little girl with the same blonde hair, blue eyes...who is she?

"She's adorable, isn't she?" A voice says, and I look up to see my Mom stood there. She's back. I smile, until I notice she isn't. I then remember, she told me she wouldn't come back unless I was doing something wrong. Hey, she's like my guardian angel...

"She is..." I say, "But...who is she?"

"Her name is Rebecca." Mom explains lightly, "And she will no longer exist."

"What do you mean?" I ask. At that moment, I hear another voice. A familiar one.

"Chad? Oh, good, you're awake again."

I turn to see the owner of the voice, and my heart flips when i see an older, and pregnant, Sonny Munroe.

I blink. Sonny…pregnant? Well, she does look older…but, whose baby is it? It's yours, you idiot. …No comment.

I jump up from the couch, blinking, just to see if I'm dreaming this…well, I am, but you see my point.

"Chad, honey?" Sonny says, heading my way. I step back a little. "Is everything OK?"

I gulp, asking myself that question too. My head suddenly starts to ache as I try to get my head round everything. Sonny, , pregnant, baby, Mom…

"Chad?" Sonny repeats, sounding worried, "Is everything OK? Do I need to get an ambulance? Chad, please talk to me. I'm worried about you."

Over the blood pounding in my ears, my heart beating like a drum, I realise something. Sonny…is worried about me? After what I said? Ugh, I just don't know. I seriously think I need to lie down.

I sit on the couch, holding my head in my hands.

"Chad?"

I look up at a sad-looking Sonny, frowning at me. "Chad, if you need something, anything, I'll get it for ya – I'm not completely worthless while pregnant. I'll go get the phone, call an ambulance…"

Well, nice to know that is a baby and Sonny hasn't just got incredibly fat. What am I saying? Sonny would never get fat.

"No!" I say, stopping her, "I'm feeling better. You just sit down."

Sonny collapses into the couch, groaning in points, and I help her down. She smiles at me. "Thank you, Chad."

"You're welcome." I say, before looking over to the calendar, where I see the date is 21st February 2018, seven years forward exactly. There's a mirror next to it and I look at my reflection. I look older, seven years older, I guess.

The little girl from before, Rebecca, I think, holds onto me tightly, smiling.

"Daddy." She smiles, "I love you, Daddy."

I smile. So this is what it feels like to be a real Dad?

"I love you too, baby girl." I say, and Sonny laughs.

"Baby girl, you used to call Abby that."

I then calculate…uh, Abby will be about 10/11 now…wow. I wonder where she lives. Maybe with Melanie and Dad?

I look down at the baby bump and Sonny smiles at my surprise and wonder. Then she feels for the bump, grinning.

"It kicked," She says, "Feel it."

I do as she says, surprised when I feel a little kick. I grin, so happy at how adorable this is. Sonny and me, parents. It's what I always dreamed of.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Sonny says, "To think, I have a little child in here. I'm carrying a life. It's so nerve-racking."

She's not the only one whose nerves are being racked (I guess?). Or wrecked? Whatever.

Sonny moans in pain, so I comfort her, stroking the bump slowly, and she smiles.

"You're the perfect father," She says, "And the perfect husband."

Husband? YES! I love this dream!

She leans in slowly, and I do the same, just hoping to feel those lips again.

…It doesn't turn out that way. I open my eyes, still waiting for that kiss. I realise Sonny has gone, the bump has gone, Rebecca has gone.

Mom is still there though.

"Where'd they all go?" I ask her, and she frowns.

"I warned you, Chad," She says, "I warned you Sonny and you would face one more problem – and that was your jealousy."

I then remember before we left to Wisconsin, Mom did exactly as she's said. She told me Sonny and I would face one more problem, if we got past that we'd be together forever.

"So…Sonny wasn't cheating on me?"

She rolls her head back, "Ugh! Of course not! Chad, remember? I told you she loved you, she would forever. Now you've blown it."

I blink, "Blown it?"

"Uh-huh."

I shake my head, "No, I can't of; surely there is something I can do…anything?"

She shakes her head.

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Don't you think if there was I'd have done it?"

I sigh, "I see your point."

"Chaddy!"

I hear a sing-songy voice come from the other room.

"Who's that?" I ask, confused.

"I have no idea," Mom says, "And probably, neither do you."

A girl who I've never seen before walks in and I shudder. I turn back to Mom.

"So…you're saying that without Sonny, I'm gonna end up some loser who lashes onto any girl who takes his fancy?"

"Exactly."

"And…" I gulp, "…What happens to Sonny?"

"Sonny?" She asks, "Oh, a great life. A life like she would've had with you…only it's with someone else."

"And that 'someone else' is?"

She glares at me and I gasp.

"It's not…"

"It is." She says. It's then when I notice we're not at home anymore – we're in a different house. The one everyone was staying in for the wedding but me and Sonny. I then see Sonny walk in, arm in arm, with a guy with blonde hair and green eyes. It can't be…

"That's right," Mom says, as if she can read my mind, "You drove away Sonny, she came to be with Callum."

My heart pretty much hits the ground.

"No," I whisper, before my voice builds up, "No, no, NO!"

"Sorry, Chad," She says, "It's too late."

"Can't you do something?" I say, "Just…anything?"

"I can't do a thing." She says, "I'm sorry, Chad."

"Please." I whisper. "I need to get Sonny back."

"Chad, I can't do anything." She says, before winking.

"Well, then…I've lost Sonny?" I ask, "Forever?"

Mom sighs, whacking me across the head. (A/N: I wouldn't have done that, if it weren't for you nangelgirl923 ;))

"Ow!" I yell, before she winks at me again. "Do you have something in your eye?"

She sighs, "Chad, it's over for me. I can't help you. And unless you do something quick, you will lose her forever. I'm sorry for hitting you…come here…"

She hugs me tight, before pulling away and smiling.

"Now, go get your girl back," She says, "And don't make me come back again!"

It's that moment when I wake up. I blink, realising what just happened. I put Abby into her bed, before running outside and heading straight to my car. I need to get to Sonny's house, before she leaves for Wisconsin…and Callum.

Well, what do you think? Chad's FINALLY come to his senses (A little late for that bubb) [Miley says that to Sterling's character on HM, yes, i saw it the other day :)]

Review!

PS: I found out Sara is what female Jews in Germany had to add to their names during WW2...yeah, random fact. :D
