AN: Next up, chapter 4! lol

"Are you sure you don't want me to take care of him for a few days? Let you rest up and have a little time to yourself?" Connie asked when I came back.

"No, I've got everything under control. We don't live far now that I'm renting an apartment closer by, we can come and see Sonny every day, I've got him taken care of, and I'm doing fine. Thank you though." I added, not wanting to hurt her feelings but honestly getting annoyed with her constantly telling me that I needed time to myself, because if I had any time to sit down completely alone I knew I would lose it again.

"Well, you can always take me up on that offer later. Love you all," She said hugging me and handing Bryce back before squeezing Sonny's hand and leaving. I took my usual chair next to her bed and settled myself back down, taking one of her hands in my own and lacing my fingers between her's.

We had it all
We were just about to fall

"Sonny Monroe!"

"Chad Dylan Cooper!"

"Can we get a comment?"

"Is it true you're having triplets?"

"When are you due?"

"Boy or Girl?"

"Sorry, we're really in a rush," I waved off the cameras and reporters and let Sonny into the black limousine.

"You'd think the world was ending." Sonny giggled as I climbed in to sit next to her in the back seat and the driver started the engine. "We're having a baby, and people have babies all the time."

"But other people don't have our baby. And this baby is a powerhouse in the making." I grinned placing my hand on Sonny's small baby bump.

"Come on Chad, that's ridiculous." She said swatting away my hand and glaring at me.

"It's not! It's the Baby Channy!" I laughed as she rolled her dark eyes and shook out her curls. "First we shocked them with us dating, then we got married, and now we are personally taking down the media with our baby. They're going to love the mini Channy." I smirked.

"They're never going to love it as much as we do." She said seriously, and I let my face soften.

"Of course not. That would be physically impossible."

Even more in love
Than we were before

I held Bryce close and left the hospital quickly with my head down, anticipating the handful of reporters that seemed to not have any other life but to stand around waiting for me to show up.

"Chad! Chad!"

"Can you elaborate on Sonny's condition?"

"Is she going to pull through this?"

"Let's see the baby smile for the camera!"

Bryce started to fuss and I paced a hand over his face protectively shielding him from the flashing lights, and continuing my way to the car with a hardened expression. The worker who was arranged to bring my car around to the front of the hospital for me held out the keys and I thanked him before opening the back door and strapping Bryce into his car seat securely.

"Please Mr. Cooper, you must have some comment! Is she dying?" I flinched at the statement and made a point to turn my head and glare menacingly in the camera man's direction.

"Can you just back off? I need space, away from you, and so does my son." I stood up straight and kept a stony expression. "Because if you don't, then I'm going to have even more issues with you than I already do." I clenched my fists making my knuckles crack and smirked grimly when the man's eyes darted down to my hands at the noise. "And we don't want that do we?" I certainly didn't have to ask twice because the guy slowly backed away and then took off so fast the backwards baseball cap he had been wearing flew off his otherwise bald head. I felt the corners of my mouth twitch up in a smile before I walked around the black vehicle and climbed into the passenger seat.

As the engine revved, I craned my neck to see Bryce in his car seat, meeting his wide eyes in the mirror set on the back of the normal seat so that I could always know what he was up to while facing backwards in the awkward newborn carriers.

"Don't worry little man. Daddy's got everything under control." While driving out of the hospital parking lot a thought struck me that produced the first real laugh I've let out it what seemed like forever. "Except, mommy isn't going to be happy about this, so let's make it our little secret, okay?"

I won't forget
I won't forget
