A/N: This story is set when Mackenzie is about three months old.


Lisa walked into her and Sonny's house after a long day of work. She finds Sonny sitting on the sofa holding Mackenzie. "Hi you two." Lisa gives Sonny a quick kiss and strokes Mac on the forehead. "I'm going to go change really fast."

"Okay baby." He smiles at Lisa as she walks towards the stairs. Davis returns to the family room and sits next to Sonny on the sofa. "Ya want her?" Sonny glances at Mac resting comfortably in his arms.

Lisa shakes her head no. "I'm really enjoying watching you hold her."

Sonny cocks an eyebrow at her. "Oh really."

"Really." Lisa nods. "I think, other than her, watching you become a Dad has been my favorite part." She sees Sonny's shocked face. "I mean it Sonny. You have taken to this so well. And the way you look at her, it's so precious."

"Huh. I, uh, I never really thought about that." Sonny says draping his free arm over Lisa's shoulders.

Davis looks up at him. "Do you like it? Being a Dad?"

Sonny looks into her eyes. "I do. Way more than I thought I would."

"What did you think when you think when I told you I was pregnant?" Lisa asks. "And I mean what did you think."

"Uh." Sonny pauses. That was not his favorite moment to think about. "I think the real shock came from, um, when we were in the bathroom. Just the way ya said it. The look on your face, the crack in your voice, Lisa it broke my heart. That, uh, that was a moment of pure panic."

"Glad to know I wasn't alone in that feeling." Lisa huffs. She knows she has come leaps and bounds from when she found out she was pregnant, but she can't help shudder every time she thinks about it. "You still tried to make me laugh though."

"Ya know I use humor to deflect." Sonny chuckles. "But baby, I thought I was gonna puke." Sonny looks down at Mackenzie and can't figure out how he got to this point from where he was. "Then I sat on the couch for what felt like forever and when ya walked out and told me those tests were positive." Sonny lets out a long breath. "I knew ya needed me and what I was feelin wasn't nearly as important as supportin ya. When I left your house the next mornin and I went back to my place, I just sat in the shower and drank a couple of beers. Tryin to process the fact that I was gonna be a Dad."

Lisa tickles Mackenzie's feet. "Yeah, when you left, the weight of the whole thing really hit me. Thank you for being there for me. I really did need you. And thank you for being there for me every day since."

Sonny kisses the top of her head. "We are gettin through this together. What bout ya my love? How are ya doin?"

"Um." Lisa thinks. "I love her in a way I worried I wouldn't be able to. There are a lot of feelings I don't know how to put into words, if I'm being honest."

"I understand that." Sonny rubs her upper arm. "Are ya happy?"

Lisa nods. "It's been an adjustment. But yes, I am."

"Good." Sonny smiles. "Is there anything different I could do?"

"No Sonny. You're doing everything right." Lisa pauses, unsure of if she should say what she is thinking. "I'm going to ask you something and I want you to really think about it before you give me an answer."

"Lisa, what the hell are ya talkin about?"

"Just... just listen. Do you want another one?" Lisa blurts out before she loses the courage to say it.

"W-what?" Sonny shakes his head. "What are ya talkin about? From day one of findin out ya were pregnant ya have stood strong on never wanting to be pregnant again."

Lisa shifts so she is face to face with him. "I know. But I, I feel like I'm robbing you have getting to be a Dad again. And a planned time, not the oh shit like we had with Mac."

"Oh Lisa." He takes her hand. "Ya ain't robbin me of anythin baby."

"Sonny, I told you to think about this. That was a I don't want to hurt Lisa's feelings answer."

"Well, what's the timeline on this deep thought I'm supposeda do?" Sonny asks truly shocked she is even bringing the idea up.

"Um, I mean." Lisa stammers.

"Let me ask this." Sonny lets out a breath. "If we were gonna have another, when would ya want to do it?"

"Honestly. I think I would want to get pregnant pretty soon." Lisa responds.

"Wow Lisa. Ya have really thought about this, haven't ya? And why now?"

"Why get pregnant now? Or why bring it up now?" Lisa asks.

"Well, both." Sonny shrugs trying to process the conversation they were having.

"As for the getting pregnant soon, I am already stuck at home with Mac, so this would be the only time I am willing to even consider this since my career is already on hold. Which is also why I'm bringing it up now. It has been bothering me for a little while now. I just want to make sure we are making the right choice for our life." Lisa says.

"Do ya want another one?" Sonny asks.

Lisa purses her lips while she thinks. "Mac is great, and I am enjoying life with her so far, but I don't know if going through another pregnancy is worth it."

"Mmhm." Sonny nods. "I was set to just have Mac. I ain't ever thought about havin another one."

"That doesn't mean you don't want another." Lisa pushes

"Don't mean I do Lisa."

"Sonny." Lisa looks at him sternly. "Please humor me."

"Okay." Sonny thinks for a second. "So, if I happen to say I would like to have another, what happens?"

"I don't know." Lisa shrugs. "I really don't know if I want to put myself through pregnancy again. And then having to balance two kids and two young kids. Do we really have the time or energy for that?"

"Lisa, the last thing I want ya to do is have another kid just because I said I wanted one." He sees Davis trying to put together a comeback. "C'mere." He holds his arm out to her, she cuddles back into his side. "Honey, this is all I need and want. Now listen, if ya want another kid then we can talk about it, but if ya brought this up just because ya wanted to make sure I'm happy. I'm the happiest I have ever been and no part of me needs to be a dad again." He looks down at Mackenzie. "I get the pleasure of watchin this little girl grow up."

"You don't want a little Sonny Jr.?" Lisa asks.

"Hell no." Sonny chuckles. "I was a damn pain in the ass. No part of me wants to try and control that. See I have hope that Mac will have a good head on her shoulders and we won't have to work too hard to keep her alive as a teenager. I just know that a boy would be a completely different story."

"What about all of those corny father son activities?" Lisa counters.

"Nah, I don't need any of that." Sonny shakes his head. "I would much rather focus all of our time on Mac."

Lisa shifts and looks up at him. "How did I get so lucky with you?"

Sonny smiles. "I'll have ya know, I think the same thing bout ya daily."

"And as of now and into the foreseeable future I don't want another. I think Mac fits our lives perfectly and I don't want to disturb that." Lisa states.

"I couldn't agree more." He says looking between Mackenzie in his left arm and Lisa in his right arm. "This feels meant to be."

Lisa lays her hand over Sonny's that is holding Mac. "It really does." She smiles. "Just the three of us." They both see Mac smile. "Do you agree sweetie? Just you, me and Daddy?" Mackenzie smiles and reach for Sonny's face.

"I would say she likes the plan." Sonny chuckles.


A/N: I tossed around the idea of them having a second child a good deal while brain storming the story and thinking of where I want the story to go. For some reason, I'm not exactly sure how to describe, I didn't feel like a second child was the right fit for them. Thank you guys for the support of the story!
