Hey, guys...

*falls to knees and cries* I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY! Honestly, I am! It's been DAYS since I updated this story (Heck, anything!) It's just, I've had rehearsals for my school's production, and homework, and something awful happened (more on that in a sec) so I just didn't feel like writing. But, I'm back on track now, I have recovered, and am ready to write!

I was, in fact, just hit with the fact that this is the third-to-last chapter of LWMS... and it suddenly made me feel empty. Honestly, if my mum's friend wasn't round, I would've broken down and cried. A little dramatic, but true. I am gonna freakin' miss this story, I truly will. I will miss EVERY. SINGLE. REVIEW I GET. I'll miss all of you, I'll miss Channy and Abby and Josh and everyone. I honestly will. I might cry on the last episode, no matter how fluffy I plan it's gonna be.

So, about this awful thing. I don't want to speak too much about it, but I lost an amazing reviewer, friend, and sister the other day, and it's really shaken me. I started crying, because I knew I'd miss this person until the day she returned. So this chapter is dedicated to her. She knows who she is, and when she comes back one day and reads this, I hope I make her smile when I say this-

I lo-c-ve ya dear! And miss you loads :'( Can't wait till you return. *heart*

Okay, so, this chapter is pretty short, and you guys deserve better for such a long wait. However, it's a ZOSH CHAPTER! Yayness! Well, it has Zosh in it. And Abby. So I hope you guys enjoy it, no matter how long or short it is.

Enjoy!


Chapter 54 - Finally Zosh

Abby's POV (OMG ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS! :D And just to tell you guys. Last chap was May-time, this chap is September. Ooh, and sorry if Abby isn't like an 8 year old. I haven't been eight for 6 years :P Okay, onwards!)

The first day back at school goes quickly, which is a relief. Summer went way too quick… I was probably having too much fun with my family! Chad and Sonny were always hanging out with me when I wasn't with my friends from school. It's really nice that they're married – and Sonny is going to have a baby! I'll have a baby sister or brother! Well, kind of…

Even Josh spent some time with us during the summer, when he wasn't with his friends. Sometimes he'd bring Zora around. He said they're not going out, and they're just friends, but I think he's either lying, or too scared to ask her out… Ha ha. I may only be eight, but I can already tell that he likes her. I've seen how Chad and Sonny act around each other… I think the word is "flirty".

Me and my friend Terri are waiting outside the school. Josh is coming to pick me up, and her mom is coming to pick her up. I don't remember my mom – I was only two or three when she died. But Chad says that she was a great woman, and that makes me happy.

But then, Sonny has been just like my Mom. Like Chad has been my daddy (Chaddy Daddy, ha ha :P). I haven't seen my real daddy for a few weeks, but maybe that's because he's with his new family. I don't mind. Our family is nice, whether he's in it all the time or not.

Terri's Mom arrives, leaving me alone for a few minutes. I see Ms Phipps, my teacher, stood by the school gates, and wander over to ask her the time. Ms Phipps checks her watch before smiling at me kindly.

"It's three forty-five." She says, and I groan. Josh is late, as usual. School finished twenty minutes ago!

"Is everything okay, Abby?" She asks me, looking at me over the rim of her glasses, and I nod. I like Ms Phipps, she's so nice.

"Yeah. My brother was meant to be picking me up, but he's late."

At that second, Josh's blue car that he borrowed from Chad pulls into the school gates, and I roll my eyes, say goodbye to Ms Phipps and jump in the back seat.

"Hey, lil' sis." Josh greets me, and I smile until I notice a person is sat next to him. Then I crack into a smirk.

"Hey, Zora." I say.

"Hi there, big girl." She says. Zora's got so much more grown up. I may have only been young when Sonny was on So Random with Zora, but I can remember slightly what she was like. She used to wear crazy clothes, and have her hair tied up in pigtails and plaits, like Sonny does in my hair every now and again. Now she looks… well, different! More like a grown-up girl! Well, she is eighteen now. Ugh. Old. Scary old…

"Your brother's taking me to see Sonny…" She explains, "Tawni, Sonny and I are gonna go out for the afternoon. We thought Sonny needed a little treat, considering she's pregnant and all…"

"Cool." I smile, before looking at my brother, who is looking happily at Zora, "Is Josh going too?"

Josh rolls his eyes and mimics gagging, and Zora just laughs. "No, its girl's night out." (Let's go, GNO :P Couldn't resist.)

"Oh…" I say, before smiling at her as sweetly as my eight-year-old body can, "Can I come?"

Zora laughs and ruffles my hair, "We'll see what Sonny and Tawni say, kiddo." She says.


We arrive home soon after, and the first thing I do is attack Sonny with a hug. I try not to hurt her though – her baby bump isn't hugely huge (Couldn't resist xD) yet; she is four (I think? May, June, July, August, September… yup. Four and a bit) months pregnant, and you can tell that she is bigger than she was. Sonny used to be really thin – she's very healthy. Chad says she's as beautiful as the day he met her, no matter how big she gets, which I think is cute.

"Hey, Abby-Babby!" She says (her nickname for me).

"Hi, Sonny-Bunny!" I reply (mine for her :)), and she laughs.

"How was school?" She asks, just as I see Chad walk into the room, smiling. He looks so happy, nowadays. He has for years. And if Chaddy, my big bro, is happy, then I'm happy too. Very, very happy.

"Good." I reply, sniffing in to smell the nice Sonny-smell. She smells like pretty flowers. Mmm… the Sonny smell. "I got the highest marks in the Math test, and Ms Phipps gave me a little chocolate bar for it!"

Sonny gasps, clapping for me, "You clever girl!" She says, "Let's see it!"

I put my hand in my pocket and pull out my almost-forgotten prize from Math earlier today that's probably melted by now, and Sonny gasps when she sees it.

"Well done, sweetie!" She says, "I'm super proud of you!" She then turns to Chaddy and giggles, "You're becoming even smarter than your big brother!"

"Ouch." Chad says, even though he's still smiling, "Grilled by my own wife. I'm hurt."

He then winks, which makes Sonny giggle while I just sit and watch. They're sweet, but ugh. Flirting. It's just… weird. Something only old people do.

Ick.

And then Chad walks over, and they kiss.

Double ick.

Luckily, someone knocks on the door, and Sonny pulls away from Chad to open it.

"I'm here! Where's my mini me?"

I know who that is straight away.

"Auntie Tawni!"

"Hey, cutie!" Tawni picks me up and spins me around, which she always does. She says it gets harder each time she sees me, because I'm getting bigger. Huh. Well, Chaddy can still do it just fine… maybe Chaddy's stronger. Haha :P

She puts me down as quickly as she picked me up, before looking into her handbag, "I brought you a little new piece from Abby Daze!" She coos, which makes me smile. Abby Daze is her clothes line, named after me which is super cool! It's for girls my age, and because Tawni owns the line and makes the clothes (well, she designs them. She says she has a whole team of people to help her make it… isn't that cool?), she gives me some of the clothes and jewellery and stuff. Chaddy doesn't like me wearing designer's coz he says it means I'm growing up too fast. Tawni just says it makes me her Mini Me. I don't think Chaddy likes that idea… ha ha ;)

Tawni finally finds what she was looking for, and gives it to me. It's a little charm bracelet, with different colored shiny stars as the charms.

"What do you think?" Tawni asks, putting the bracelet around my wrist and I grin.

"I love it!"

Tawni smiles and hugs me suddenly. "I knew you'd would!" She squeals, clapping. I laugh. Tawni's funny, in an awesome way. :P

"Ooh, goody." Chad says, walking over. I don't think he means it, though. Haha, my brother's so funny too. "More bling. Got any high heels for her, Hart?"

Tawni rolls her eyes before smiling sweetly at Chad. "Hey there, Cooper."

"Hey?" Sonny's laughs, "What about me? Have I gone invisible?"

Tawni gets up from next to me, and runs over to her bestest friend. Aw, they're such cool friends! :D

"Sonny!" She yells, attacking her with a hug, and Sonny jumps back and laughs.

"Is pregnant!" Sonny giggles, making Tawni pull away. She blushes and shrugs, before looking down at Sonny's baby bump.

"How's it going?" She asks, "The whole pregnant thing."

"I'm hanging in." Sonny shrugs, "It's really weird!"

"I'll bet." Tawni says, "Ready to go for girl's night?"

"When Zora comes in." Sonny says.

"Oh, she's in the car with Josh." I say, which makes everyone in the room laugh.

"Do you know what they're doing, sweetie?" Sonny asks me kindly, and I giggle.

"Kissing, probably."

Sonny grins, "That would be so cute! They make such an adorable couple." Then, she and Tawni break out into a, "Josh and Zora, sitting in a… car, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

I watch Chad smirk at them, "Cute. But you forget," He points out, "They're not a couple. They've been in denial for years." He rolls his eyes, "I tell ya, he may be my bro, but he sure likes to take his time."

Sonny smirks, putting an arm on Chad's shoulder, "Well, look who's talkin'!"

Chad frowns, "What does that mean?" Sonny giggles.

"Relax, hubby." She says, before kissing him lightly on the cheek. I see Tawni pull a face.

"Please, there are children in the room!" She complains, which makes Sonny and Chad laugh.

"Yeah, Sonny, maybe we should leave Toddler Tawni alone so she can play with her designer toys." Chad says. "Seriously, are you still gonna be complaining about us when we're in retirement homes?"

"If it's lasted that long." Tawni says flatly. Not much is said after that, until Zora and Josh walk in the door. The moment Zora notices Sonny, she runs up and hugs her. Wow, everyone loves Sonny! :D

"If it isn't Mrs Cooper!" She squeals, "And Baby Cooper, of course."

Sonny giggles, "Ready to go?"

"Sorry guys," She says with a frown, "Had to cancel. I need to meet someone at the mall."

I'm sure I see Josh smile when she says this, but I ignore it. Probably Josh being, well, Josh.

Sonny frowns, "But it's girl's night!"

"Um…" Zora's eyes shoot around the room, before landing on me. She smiles, before walking over to me and putting an arm on my back, "Take Abby instead! She wanted to come, so…"

Tawni grins, "Yes yes YES! She has to come! We can get you some more awesome outfits, Abby!"

I can't help but smile, even though I can see Chad roll his eyes out of the corner of my eye.

"Yippee." He drones.

Josh's POV

Sonny, Tawni and Abby leave for their "Girl's Night Out", and Zora waves them off before turning to me and smiling. She then watches Chad, who sighs and goes up the stairs, before looking back at me and grinning.

Great. We're alone.

"So, I'll see you in an hour or so, yeah?" She asks me, and I nod.

"I'll just find some way to escape from Chad's sight," I tell her, "Hopefully he'll be too busy mooning over Sonny's album to pay any attention to me."

Zora smirks, "You make him sound obsessed!"

"Not far off." I roll my eyes, "I'll find some way out, don't panic."

"Cool." She grins, "I'll see you later…" She then kisses me lightly on the cheek before shouting to Chad that she's going and leaving the house.

"Alright then…" Chad says, showing up at the staircase, "I suppose it's just you and me tonight, buddy!"

I rub the back of my neck, "Uh, yeah… all night long. Yippee."

Chad's raises an eyebrow, stares at me for a prolonged moment, and for a minute, I think I'm busted.

"I'm gonna go take a shower." I excuse myself, before leaving a confused Chad behind me. I can't help but laugh as I watch him out of the corner of my eye. He watches me, perplexed, before shaking his head and going back up the stairs. Okay, next stop – the mall.

Abby's POV

A few hours later, and it is 8 o'clock. Lucky it's a Friday – Chad and Sonny always like me in bed early on school nights. But then, I guess I'm not out here against anyone's will – I've got Tawni and Sonny, my auntie and my mummy, with me. I'm safe and sound with them, I guess! Right now, we're all sat outside the Starbucks, Tawni and Sonny with a coffee each, and I have a hot cocoa with marshmallows. Yummy. I'm sat next to Sonny, with Tawni opposite Sonny and the bags full of stuff we already bought opposite me. Tawni's bought me loads of cool clothes! I hope Chad doesn't mind…

Tawni and Sonny are talking, and Sonny has given me her phone to pass the time for me. I'm playing Angry Birds (SOOOO. ADDICTIVE!) when the phone vibrates.

"Ooh, must be Chad…" Sonny says, before asking me to pass her the phone back, which I do. She then answers the call, and surprise surprise, she smiles as soon as she hears the voice on the other end, "We'll be home soon, just getting a coffee. Chill. Huh? Oh… no, I haven't seen him. Did he say he was going out? …Uh-huh… Uh-huh… okay, sweetie, relax, I'm sure he's just out with his friends… he's eighteen, Chad, I don't think we need to worry about him anymore…"

Oh. Josh must've left without Chad knowing. Trust Chad to go all protective and worried at a time like this. Knowing Josh, he's just probably out with a friend or something.

"Okay Chad, I'll keep an eye out for him." Sonny is saying, "Alright. See you in a minute." She grins, "I wuve you too!" I laugh a little when Tawni rolls her eyes, and Sonny hangs up the phone. "Josh isn't home." She says, "I wonder where he is…"

I sigh, taking another sip of my cocoa, before out of the corner of my eye, I notice two familiar people.

Josh. And Zora. They're sat on the other side of the aisle, sat on a table outside some pretty restaurant, drinking, laughing.

"I think I've found him." I say, and Tawni and Sonny look where I'm looking to see Josh lean close to Zora and kiss her on the lips.

Wow. No denying it now. Those two are together.

How cute! :D

Sonny's POV

After Tawni and I saw Josh and Zora together, kissing, we knew what was going on. Heck, even Abby knew, and she's eight!

"They really are together…" Abby breathes, smiling. "That is so cool. Both of my brothers are with ex-Randoms! You're like… like Randoopers!" (I got that once in a PM or a review or something once… I can't remember who I was talking to when they said it…)

Randoopers… Randoms plus Coopers… actually, that's pretty cool.

So, after that, we finish our drinks and leave. We don't want to interrupt their little date (AGH! :D) no matter how adorable it is. Well, I do, but Tawni and Abby drag me away before I can Sonny It Up (It's like a Shake It Up episode! xD). Ha. Some things never change.


It's ten o'clock when Josh gets home. Abby is already in bed, and me and Chad are snuggled on the sofa, watching TV.

"You disappeared, buddy." Chad says, without turning his head. I hear Josh groan. Ha ha, busted.

"Sorry…" Josh frowns, "I went out with a friend."

"More than a friend, by the looks of it." I pipe up, and both of them look at me with slight shock. Yeah, I didn't tell Chad about it. "I saw you, with Zora." I tell Josh, and he freezes, "And I saw you kiss her."

Chad gasps, before smirking, "Nice, dude! Finally decided to admit you like her?"

Josh rolls his head back, before shrugging, "Fine, yeah, I like her. And she likes me back."

"Awww!" I squeal, "So cute!"

"But please, Sonny…" He says, "Don't meddle this time."

"I second that." Chad says.

"Fine!" I raise my arms in surrender, and Josh smiles triumphantly, before heading upstairs to, presumably, his room. Chad and I watch him, before Chad kisses me gently on the cheek and rubs my baby bump softly. He grins, commenting that he can feel he or she kick (most likely a she though, if my Rebecca dreams are anything to go by), and I can't help but feel completely ecstatic.

Only a few months time, and we'll have our own child. It's too good to be true.


Yeah, so, that was that! The official get-together of Zosh! *parties* So cute :D

Okay, so, I am on 566 (I think) reviews, and I still want to try and get that 600 reviews by the end of the story. So that means... 34 reviews in 3 chapters... think we can do it? LET'S TRY! :D

Love you all. And I just gotta say this...

Peace Out Suckahs and Regardless 4Ever! :D

Love you all.
