So Cold

Chapter 4:

"What?" Chad exclaimed, "Your baby?"

Sonny removed her hand from her mouth to reveal her quivering lip. Tears began to fall from her eyes as she looked at Chad.

"Chad, I'm pregnant." She sobbed before pushing past him and taking a run down the hall.

Sonny ran down the abandoned hallway until she reached her dressing room and threw the door open.

She ran in, slammed the door, and threw herself down on the couch, sobbing into one of the decorative pillows.

"Sonny, come back here!" was all she could hear, making her cry harder.

Suddenly the door swung open again, hitting the back wall with a "bam".

Sonny sat up, and turned to face the door. She didn't have to ask who it was, she already knew.

"When were you planning on telling me?" he yelled.

"Chad, stop!" she cried.

"Hell no!" he exclaimed, "Do you think it's okay that you kept this from me?"

Sonny shook her head, "I was going to tell you. I was scared of how you'd react."

Chad shook his head at her, "Well, I have to accept it…" he paused, his voice growing louder again, "but what I won't accept is the fact that after people know this is my baby I won't be able to keep a job! I'm going to get axed from 'Mackenzie Falls', and go down in history as the giant douche bag that knocked up the girl from 'So Random'!"

"Chad, that's what you did! You got me pregnant! Maybe if we were responsible about this, we won't lose our roles!" she said, standing up to get even to Chad.

Chad rolled his eyes, and then a stern, thoughtful look crossed his features, "Is there some other way…you know…where no one will ever know this happened."

Sonny gasped, "Chad Dylan Cooper! How dare you suggest I get an abortion! This is our baby. Love it or hate it, you can't undo it!"

"It worked for Jessie on Ma…"

"Life is not like it is on 'Mackenzie Falls'! Girls get pregnant, and they keep their babies because they care and they're responsible for their actions! Plus, my mom and Tawni already know, so your screwed!"

"Damn."

That was all it took, Sonny quickly got within a few inches from him, reared her hand back and smacked him in the cheek.

"I want you out!" she roared, "I want you out of this dressing room and out of my life now!"

"What's all this yelling for?" Zora exclaimed, pushing the vent she had been crawling through open.

"Zora!" Sonny gasped.

"That's my name, don't wear it out." She replied, "Now who's having a baby?"

"A girl on 'The Falls'" Chad replied coolly.

"No," Sonny paused, taking a deep breath, "Zora, I'm pregnant."

"Woah," Zora gasped, "Hold on, give me a few seconds."

A few clunks of metal and a weird look from Chad later, Zora appeared in the doorway of the dressing room.

"Who's the dad?" she asked.

"Me." Chad grumbled.

"What?"

"Me." He said a little louder.

"Speak up, 'Coop. I know you can be louder than that, remember, 'Peace out suckers!'."

"ME!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, "I'm the father of Sonny's damn baby!"

"YOU'RE THE WHAT?" Nico and Grady gasped simultaneously, dropping the frozen yogurt that used to be in their hands.

"Why does this keep happening?" Sonny whined.

"I don't know!" Chad groaned in response.

"When did you two…" Nico began, grimacing, "Aw nah!"

"That's just WRONG! W-R-O-N-G! Wrong!" Grady exclaimed, "Seriously, what about this whole feud between the two shows! Did you two seriously think that getting' it on would fix it? Is that your idea of a peace treaty, Sonny?"

Sonny put her head in her hands and then looked up at the ceiling, "If you want to just take me now, God, I'm willing to go. Save me the pain of childbirth and being linked to the jackass for the rest of my life and just take me now."

"Me too," Chad threw in.

"On second thought…" She continued with a smirk.

"What's going on in here?" Tawni said, an irritated expression creasing her pretty features.

"Did you know about this?" Nico exclaimed.

Tawni glanced forward and saw Sonny and Chad in the center of the room, both looking rather angry. Sonny had her hands on her hips and Chad's arms were crossed over his chest.

"Oh hot damn!" she cursed.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Zora said.

"Okay, everybody, since apparently today is show and tell day, why don't you guys shut the door, come in and sit down and we'll tell you the story." Sonny said, irritation still present in her voice.
