Baby Makes 3
It'd been exactly 24 hours since the news of her pregnancy and word had spread like wild fire. Every gossip columnist, blog, and even TV show was covering the news. Paparazzi were stationed outside their mansion hungrily waiting for the couple, and to get the first shot of Sonny's baby bump.
They were in luck, because Sonny and Chad just so happened to have to go shopping for the nursery room and crib.
"God", Sonny complained darkly once they opened their Bel- Air doors to the chaos. She lowered her shades and clenched Chad's palm tighter as he led the way, ignoring the loud camera flashes and the screaming paparazzi bombarding over each other to get the IT couple.
She was in an Olive green DKNY bohemian off the shoulder summer dress with casual brown flip flop. Her hair flopped in the wind as Chad gently pulled her faster to get away from the cameras. He held his hand in front of his face squinting from the camera.
"Boy or Girl?" the paparazzi demanded again.
"We don't know", Chad confirmed opening his car door and letting Sonny inside before jogging over to the drivers seat.
"So she is pregnant!" One paparazzi yelled proudly and even more flashes appeared. The couple covered their faces and let their bodyguard usher them inside their car safely.
Chad grunted once a few photographers chased after them down the street.
"Its okay", Sonny smiled and placed her hand on his knee to calm him down, he had anger issues when it came to the paparazzi. "They'll be gone by the time we start shopping", she stated hopefully.
Apparently, hope wasn't good enough as soon as the two stepped foot on Rodeo drive the paparazzi were already stationed, and ready to snap.
Chad sighed gripping tighter to her palm as they shrugged threw the crowd to get to the Nursery boutique a few stores down.
"Are you sure you didn't want my assistant to do this", he complained.
"No", Sonny contorted her face. "It's our baby, not your assistants", she accused.
Chad agreed and followed her inside the trendy little boutique, it'd been completely cleared just for Chad and Sonny and a curtain had been thrown over the window to shield the paparazzi glare.
"Take whatever you like", the store manager smiled giddily with her staff. "Free of charge", she explained. With the famous Chad and Sonny shopping there, her sales would increase drastically anyway.
"Thank you", Sonny smiled absently when her eyes fell over to a pink and green baby sleeper.
"Aw", she purred running over to the rack of girly baby clothes and picking them up. " Its so precious".
Chad laughed and crinkled his brows at the boy section. "We're having a boy, I predict", he joked. He really wanted a boy, badly so that the baby would have a better father son relationship than he had with his dad who was and still is a workaholic.
The store manger walked over to them graciously, " Any specific colors for the nursery room?"
Sonny wrapped her arms around Chad's side as she spoke. "He thinks we're having a boy, and I think we might be having a girl we won't know until my 5th month", she nodded.
"We are having a boy", Chad confirmed.
The manger laughed along with Sonny as the couple strolled behind her hand and hand. She was an older woman so she didn't necessarily know who they were.
"How old are you two?"
"Mom", the store owner whined. "That's Sonny Munroe, Chad Dylan Cooper, duh?"
The woman smiled, still unsure and waited the couples answer.
"21", he answered. It still felt weird that he was only 21, so much was going on.
"20", Sonny answered with a smile.
"So young, very young", the woman nodded before changing the subject.
Sonny felt uncomfortable, she knew she was young but she didn't want everyone to point out that she was pregnant and wasn't even legal enough to drink.
"Have you thought of color patterns?"
Sonny sighed relieved the subject had been lifted, she clenched Chad's hand tighter. "Since we don't know yet, we were looking for neutral colors like baby blue and yellow".
"Perfect", the woman clapped grabbing Sonny's hand to whisk her across the store, humming a song Chad didn't know. He was relieved, when he plopped in the lounge chair in front of the room in relaxation, he'd been so busy he barely had time to sleep.
Sonny turned to smile at Chad sleeping soundless curled against the chair peacefully.
An hour later, he felt someone watching him as his eyes stretched open and the store, manager stood with a toothy grin, clutching pen and paper.
"Can I please have your autograph?"
Chad nodded with a grin leaning forward to scribble his name, behind the blond he smiled at his wife's wide eyes as she viewed the baby bassinet and quilts.
"Excuse me", he offered before shrugging past the woman to get to his wife.
"What'd I miss?" he asked with a yawn and leaned down to kiss Sonny's puckered lips resting his arm on a rack a baby bibs.
"Almost everything", Sonny smiled hitting his shoulder, and softened stroking his cheek. " I know you needed to rest though, I've been worried about lately", she admitted staring into his ice blue eyes.
Chad shook his head with a laugh. "I'm Chad Dylan Cooper baby, I'm invincible", he joked hitting his chest to make a point.
Sonny giggled and hugged Chad tighter before they were interrupted.
"Sorry, but I found the most darling baby bassinet you will ever find", the store clerk interrupted holding up the baby blue ruffled bassinet for them to view.
Sonny was awe stricken, "We have to have it", she nodded eagerly to the woman who took it to the register.
"That's the last piece for today correct?" The store manager asked the couple who nodded walking over toward the register hand and hand.
Chad looked wide eyed at all the seemingly useless things Sonny bought while he took a small nap, it appeared to be over 60 cutesy objects, for the nursery.
The more the clerk rung up, the wider her eyes became. She was sure her mother never spent this much on a room back in Wisconsin.
After the woman was finished Sonny was scared to hear the total.
"12,654 and twenty seven cents", she smiled brightly.
Sonny's smile faded, Chad looked unplaced.
"Chad did you hear how much?"
"Yeah", he stated casually, "That's nothing mine cost half a million when I was born".
She wanted to believe this was him joking, but knowing his parents this was most likely the truth. Sonny didn't exactly feel comfortable with accepting gifts that expensive.
Sonny reached for the bags but the woman stopped her.
"Mrs. Cooper", she grinned along with Chad as if she was naïve. " You're famous, you don't carry anything out will have this shipped out to you at your earliest convenience".
"Really?" she asked excitedly. Maybe being a celebrity mother to be wasn't so bad, after all. Everyone was treating her like she was a goddess.
"Of course", the clerk grinned as everyone rallied to shake hands with the couple. Sonny headed for the front door but Chad's hand stopped her.
"Babe", he grinned. "We're famous, in case you've forgotten we never leave out the front door", he warned as they headed for the back exit.
Sonny's cheeks became red but she giggled, Chad had been famous since he was born she'd only started at 16. She was always so down to earth sometimes she forgot she wasn't a regular person. Life before Chad was low key and casual, she stayed out the public eye but now she couldn't pay to get out of it.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sonny sighed relaxed in the comfort of her own home and rolled her shoulders jogging up the long spiral stairs as Chad strolled behind her casually with his cell glue to his ear.
"I'll be right up", he confirmed briefly before turning his back to continue his conversation.
Sonny walked a few doors down from her bedroom and stopped at the soon to be nursery. It all still felt unreal, in a few months an actual baby would be born and it'd belong to her and Chad. Everything seemed like it happened so fast, she'd just finished her tour when her and Chad went to Vegas. And then, all the crazy drama followed.
She never wanted to call her baby a burden but hearing her music on the radio made her miss her old life, when she was selling out stadiums and rocking crowds every night. She had no responsibilities. But now, she had everything in the world to worry about. Her stomach felt queasy just thinking about everything.
Sonny's eyes surveyed the empty room, the walls were a pale cold white matching her mood. She didn't feel the warmth, they'd definitely have to repaint, she thought walking deeper inside. She was missing her career, Chad did what he loved every day. This wasn't how she pictured herself at 20. Her eyes quickly shifted to a acoustic guitar Chad had left behind.
She wanted her old life back.
"I've always been the kind of girl that hid my face", she sung beautifully stroking the guitar in the middle of the room absently.
Chad jogged up the steps casually, "Hey, Sonny want to go out for dinner tonight with Nico-
His words trailed off once he made the top of the staircase and heard Sonny singing effortlessly strumming one of his old guitars. Chad stood in amazement and watched her play beautifully, it was as if he fell in love with her all over again.
Once she'd finished the song he gently racked his knuckles against the door. "Knock, Knock".
Sonny turned surprised still on the floor and forced a smile. "Hey", she whispered still strumming the guitar cross legged.
"You okay?"
She nodded, he didn't believe her for a second as he sat on the floor beside her so that they were face to face.
"Really", Chad stated and squeezed her shoulder for encouragement. He knew her being perfectly fine for the last few weeks had to be a lie.
Sonny looked up as tears brimmed her eyes. "Don't hate me for this", she stated and Chad nodded sincerely.
"I want my old life back", she sniffed. "I miss singing and dancing, I miss my fans screaming for me".
Chad smiled relieved, he thought this would be her 'I'm moving back to Wisconsin speech'.
"That's completely normal, baby", Chad told her and enfolded her in a hug as she rested her body into his as his chest rose and fell in rhythm with hers.
"It is?"
"Of course", Chad pecked her jaw line and wrapped his arms tighter across her chest.
"I understand, and you don't have to postpone your career just because you're pregnant. You can still right, and work on your new CD. How does that sound?"
Sonny laughed through her tear streaked face. "Nobody wants a fat pop star", she joked.
"You're not fat, you're pregnant", Chad grinned. "And the record label or your fans won't judge you. You're too loveable", he whispered into her hair causing a grin to slip across her face.
Sonny turned her back away from him and locked her arms across his neck and rested her head on his shoulder wiping away the last of her tears.
"I'm sorry I've been such a baby", she said muffled into his shoulder as he rubbed circles in her back.
" No problem, I was a baby since the first day you met me he joked finally unloosening her from the embrace.
"You and me", Sonny said seriously her brown eyes sparkling underneath his gaze as she held of her pinky for him to intertwine with.
"Forever and Always", he pinky promised rising off the floor and helped Sonny up before kissing her gently on the lips.
"Let's go to dinner with Nico, I'm starving", Sonny exaggeratedly stated with a grin picking up her purse and sashaying away. "Last one out is a rotten egg", she called.
Chad stayed behind with his hands stuffed in his pockets observing the space where his future son or daughter would be sleeping, it blew his mind every time that he actually created something that would walk the earth. He smiled just thinking about, he was scared and nervous at the same time.
"Chad come on", Sonny called playfully from down stairs distracting Chad from his thoughts.
He smiled and looked over the room one more time before closing the door to the baby room.
"Coming baby".
