Ok so this chapter is grandma cooper's will reading and I've never been to one before so I've no idea what goes on. I'm just going off what I saw on Eastenders lol. I'm sorry if it's really bad but I was really stuck for what to write. DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
*Sonny's POV*
Chad and I entered his parents' house where the will reading was being held. Again, Chad asked me if I could come with him and of course I obliged. I couldn't say no to him, after all he needed me and it hurt to be away from him. We took our seats where the family was gathered; Katie, her husband and kids, Chad's mom and dad and Chad's uncle and his wife. That was it really, Crystal only had a small family and Chad told me that all her siblings had passed away. I started to look around. We were sitting at a long glass table in the beautifully decorated dining room. There was also a mini bar in the corner of the room but it didn't look out of place. A massive chandelier hung above our heads and its light reflected off the glass table. Chad's mother was circling the table with a bottle of wine in hand. She poured it into the people's glasses. She finally reached us and asked us if we wanted any. "Yes thank you" we said simultaneously. We laughed and by the time we looked up she was gone. I took a sip of my wine but spat it back into the glass when I realised. "Chad I just remembered, I can't drink this"
"Oh right yeah sorry I forgot" Chad smiled sincerely
"Yeah so did I" I replied
"Be right back" he promised as he kissed my hair, took my glass and exited the room across the wooden floor.
A few minutes later he returned with a new glass filled with what looked like lemonade. "Thank you" gratefully I took the glass and placed it on the table, and then I leaned in and pecked his lips. I heard coughing so I looked up.
"Now I would like to proceed with the reading of the will" at the head of the table stood a middle aged man wearing a grey suit who I assumed to be crystal's lawyer. He placed his brief case on the table and opened it, taking out a letter. He began to read, "If you are reading this then I have obviously passed away, but don't worry I am happy, I can assure you. Now, I would like all of my possessions to be shared out between my loved ones. Katie, I would love you to have the contents of the envelope which has your name one it and I'm sure you'll understand once you've opened it. You always wanted to know what was inside it and now you'll finally see" the lawyer stopped reading and handed Katie the envelope. She tore it open and peered inside. A tear rolled down her cheek as she saw what it was. Katie hooked her finger onto the chain and gently pulled out a diamond encrusted, silver heart shaped locket. On one half of it was a photo of Ruben and on the other half was a photo of Grace. Engraved on the back of the locket were the words 'always in my heart'
"Thank you, Grammy" she whispered looking up as if to heaven. Crystal's lawyer continued reading the letter "Err miss Cooper, your grandma wants you to look in the envelope again" so Katie did. When she saw that there was something else in the envelope she laughed.
"Ah she knows me too well" she sighed as she pulled out a bit of paper. It was a cheque for one hundred and fifty thousand pounds! Katie stared at the cheque, stunned. Chad was no different.
"Chad close your mouth you'll catch flies" I whispered in his ear and I felt him shiver back to reality.
"Ok, shall I continue now?" the lawyer suggested and we all nodded. "Ok now Chad, there is an envelope for you and sonny and it will make more sense if you read the letter that I have put inside the envelope, I hope you two will be very happy together" Chad and I looked at each other confused. The envelope was passed to us and I gave it to chad to open. He took the letter, which we were told was in there, and unfolded it. It read:
Dear Chad and Sonny,
I know you two will be together for a very long time which is why I thought it would only be fair if you had a place to call your own, both of yours. Inside this envelope are the keys to my house. I hope you two will be very happy together. It's the perfect place to bring up a child, away from all the paparazzi, have fun. Lots of love,
Grammy
Xox
Chad and I stared at each other, both of us clearly gob smacked. "H-h-how did she know?" Chad stuttered
"I-I don't know, I didn't even know that I was pregnant then" I replied quietly
"Well that's just weird" Chad laughed nervously
"I know but who cares? We finally get a place of our own" I smiled excitedly. We both leaned in and our lips connected. We completely forgot about the other people in the room.
