AN: Okay, I lied. It's not going to be 8 chapters, I think I'm going to make an epilogue too, so that's kind of nine, as long as you are all good...lol.
I know this chapter is a little shorter than my usual work, but I assure you they get longer as the story goes. :)
Btw, for any of you that didn't guess it already, no I don't own SWAC, or Don't Forget. Obviously.
I tried to push away the feelings when a nurse came into the room to update both Sonny and Bryce's charts, but the tears wouldn't stop and continued to drain. The nurse put a comforting hand on my shoulder when she stepped over to peek in at the bundle of blankets.
"You really do have a lovely family." She said softly and I nodded, I knew it was true. I had everything I could dream of, all I had thought about ever since I realized how in love I was with Sonny was making her my wife and one day starting a family. And now here she was three years after marrying me, and we had this little blue eyed baby that had been all we had talked about for the last nine months. But it didn't seem real.
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
I thought back to those memories, the good ones I had, and felt this sense of doubt that maybe she hadn't been as happy with me as I had been with her.
"Sonny, wake up." I whispered shaking her shoulder. "I've got it."
"What?" She mumbled groggily, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the dark of our bedroom.
"A name." I said brightly, smiling though she couldn't see it. "For the baby."
"Okay, what is it?" She said in a tired voice. And now that I thought hard about it, maybe there had been an edge of annoyance there too.
"Bryce Davon Cooper." I said proudly, barley being able to contain myself.
"That sounds great." She mumbled, maybe a little dryly.
"That's all you're going to say about the best name you've ever heard for our son?" I asked mocking incredulities.
"Yes Chad. I'm tired," She said, rolling over onto her other side before going back to sleep.
And despite the fact that there had been a light laugh added to the end of her sentence, maybe it hadn't been as perfect as I remembered.
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
"I love you." She whispered from where her head was resting against my shoulder. "And now you're finally mine forever." She said pulling back and grinning up at me. One of the sincere smiles that only appeared whenever Sonny was around graced my lips as I looked down at her face. Her dark eyes were shining with happy tears and I brushed her white veil back from her glossy hair as we continued to sway slowly to our first dance as husband and wife.
"You had me from the start." I spoke softly into her ear and I heard her sigh and press her face back against the shoulder of my tuxedo and wrap her arms tighter around my neck. "I'm just lucky to have you to myself."
Did she have any of those memories anymore?
Now I'm left to forget
