Hey guys! Sorry, again, for the wait! I hope you enjoy the chapter.

I don't think there will be many more chapters after this one. I don't plan out the story, I write it as it comes to me, otherwise I get sick of writing it as I already know what's going to happen. This way, I'm entertaining myself as much as you guys!

Thank you for reading! Please review!

Chapter Thirty-One

CPOV

I could tell Sonny was crushed the moment I saw her face. She looked so calm, and serene, but she wasn't smiling. That was the dead giveaway. Sonny always smiled. When she wasn't smiling, she was sad. And when she was crying, she was really sad. And though she hadn't reached that point yet, I knew that as soon as we left the doctor's office she would.

"Sonshine, are you okay? Do you want to go?" I asked, concerned.

"No, I'm fine for a minute. Doctor, is there nothing I can do?"

"Well, obviously, you can adopt like any other person, but I'm afraid you will most likely never have a child of your own."

"Oh. Is it certain? Or is there any possible chance that I may get pregnant?"

"Well, technically, there is a slight possibility, but slim to no chance of any child surviving the full pregnancy, even if you do, by some miracle, manage to conceive."

"Oh. So, if I ever do get pregnant, which is unlikely, the baby would probably die anyway?"

"I'm afraid so, yes."

"Okay. I think I should go now. Chad?" she turned to me, and I stood, helping her up and placing a comforting arm around her shoulders.

I knew she was going to cry. I was expecting it. But it still broke my heart when we got to the car, and she broke down. I helped her to get I and buckle up, then jogged around to my side. Once I was in the car, I turned on the heaters and wrapped my arms around her, rocking her back and forth, trying to stop her sobbing.

"Shhh, Sonshine, its okay. We'll get through this, its okay." I whispered.

"How? How will I ever get through this? Chad, I'm never going to have a baby of my own. Ever. How will I ever have a normal life if I can't have kids?"

"A lot of people don't have kids, Sonshine. And they're happy."

"You don't understand! I've always wanted kids, since I was a little girl! I've always imagined myself holding my new born baby in my eyes, my loving husband by my side, surrounded by the people I love the most. But that will never happen now! I'll always be the girl who watches children running around, wishing that one of them could be my own! My life is ruined!" she cried, holding onto me as if she was drowning and I was a life preserver. But I got the feeling that she was going down anyway.

"Sonshine, listen to me. You will have kids. You can adopt, there's nothing wrong with that. Sure, it takes a little time, and maybe it's not your own child, but it will be a child, and you will love it, and it will love you, and at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters?"

"I guess, but I guess the whole pregnancy thing was one of the things I looked forward to, you know? I always used to see pregnant women, and see how happy and radiant they looked, and I always dreamt that one day I would be like that. And now I never will."

"Sonny, you're happy and radiant every day! You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met, and you are always smiling. Even now, see! You're smiling. Maybe only a little, but you're smiling. Because that's who you are, that's what you do! You smile, and you make everyone else around you smile. That's one of the many reasons that I love you!"

"Really? You're not just saying that?" she looked so sad, and depressed, and alone, I knew that words wouldn't be enough to convince her. So I kissed her. I could taste the salty tang of her tears, mingled with the sweet, delicious taste that was Sonny. This kiss was different. It was much sweeter, more innocent than any other time. Yet it was the best kiss we had ever had.

Eventually, she pulled away. She smiled, and I smiled right back.

"I believe you, Chad. Can we go home now?"

"Sure. Wait, which home?"

"Chad, I only have one home. And that's with you." I smiled even wider at that, as I pulled the car into reverse.

"So, you'll really stand by me? What if, in five years, we're still together, married or not, and we want to start a family. Would adoption really be good enough for you? Don't most guys want the real thing? Chad, I can't lose you!" she was getting worked up again, I could tell by the pitch of her voice.

"Sonny, calm down. I can guarantee that we will still be together in five years, because I will never leave you, and you will never leave me. Adoption would be fine, Sonny. I'm not one of those guys who believe that a child isn't mine unless it shares my DNA. If you love a child, and care for it, and raise it together with the woman you love, it's your child. Even if science says otherwise, I'll know, deep down, that the child is my own."

"Wow, Chad, that was really deep." I smirked at her joking tone. I knew I could cheer her up.

"Well, Sonshine, I am a man of many talents."

"Hey, I never said you were talented, I just said you were deep. Sometimes. Most of the time, you're pretty shallow."

"Well, c'mon, have you seen this face? And this hair? And this body? I have a reason to be shallow." I smiled, but she frowned.

"True that."

"Sonny, what's wrong? Is there a problem with having a beautiful boyfriend?"

"No, I love it. It's just…you're gorgeous. I'm just me. What's to stop you from running off with some gorgeous super model, or superstar? There are so many girls out there, why would a guy like you choose a girl like me?"

"Well, firs of all, you're beautiful, Sonshine. You're the most beautiful girl I have ever met, and I don't understand why you can't see that, but it's the truth. Second of all, I would never, ever run off with some other girl, no matter what she looks like. You want to know why?"

"Sure, I guess…"

"Because I love you, Sonny! I'm completely, utterly, truly in love with you! I'm infatuated! I don't know how many times I have to tell you before it sinks in! You're the only girl for me, Sonny Munroe. And now we're engaged, I thought you would get that!"

"I know you love me, Chad! I do! I love you too, more than anything. I guess I'm just…insecure, you know? It's hard for me to let myself believe it, because I can't understand why."

"You want me to tell you a secret?" I stage-whispered, making her smile when she leant in.

"Yeah?"

"I don't know either. I don't know why I love you, and I have no clue why you love me back, but I know it's real, and I'm not going to risk destroying that by asking questions that don't need answering. Do you believe in fate, Sonny? Or destiny?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I think its fate that brought us together. That's why we love each other; because we were destined to, from the days we were born. Does that make it any easier?"

"Yeah, a whole lot easier."

"Good. Then let's go home."

"Wait, Chad, I've changed my mind. I don't want to go home."

"Where do you want to go then?"

"Vegas."

I don't think I felt as happy as I did in that moment.
