Baby Makes 3
"Seriously?" Sonny asked in disbelief as her manager rambled on hurriedly where they sat side by side in the Range Rover as she continued scrolling down her blackberry.
"Yes", Lauren nodded.
"Your
new CD is the most sought after so far, the sooner we get it done the
better". The 20 something red head flipped her hair off her right
shoulder and pressed her cell phone to her ear while speaking to
Sonny.
The car pulled to a stop in front of Sonny's record label's studio. Sonny smiled hearing her fans scream her name hungrily and chant when the car parked. She absolutely loved every single fan, she'd sign every autograph and give a personal concert to everybody if she could.
The chauffer pushed the door open and helped Sonny out as she stepped into view in a loose fitting Harajuku Lovers striped tank dress with gold gladiators sandals. Her hair cascaded chicly down her back, paired with a purple Prada bag and over sized shades.
"Sonny! Sonny! Sonny!" they all screamed excitedly. Her fan base ranged from tween girl- teens, and overly excited men.
Lauren rolled her eyes when Sonny stopped their stride to wave at fans, and sign autographs. She slipped off her sunglasses so they could see the real her.
"Here you go, hun", she grinned scribbling her name across a poster of herself handing over to the giddy 10 year old.
"Thank you!"
After 20 or so autographs Lauren confirmed Sonny would have to go. A gawky looking man with jet black hair reached out desperately for his idol, but her bodyguard stopped him.
"That's enough", he warned the early twenties fan blocking his view as Lauren attempted to escort Sonny from the crowd. He had to see her, he had to.
"Sonny! I love you! Sonny over here!" he called flailing his arms to get the stars attention. Humble, and proud Sonny turned she could never tell a fan no.
"He's fine", she waved her hand and let the obsessed fan inch closer to get her autograph. He loved everything about her, if he wasn't sure before now he was.
"What's your name?" Sonny smiled warmly at her self proclaimed number one fan. He had her face plastered over his T- shirt, Sonny pendants dotted all over his jacket, with at least 10 copies of her first album ever. And, it appeared to be her name in cursive on his right arm.
"Mike", his snaky eyes swam anxiously. Once she met his eyes she got a cold sensation creep down her spine, something seemed off about him but since he was a fan she decided to look the other way.
"I heard about your baby, I hope it has hair like yours instead of Chad's. Will you name it Mike if it's a boy?"
She quickly scribbled her autograph and handed him the sharpie marker back, he grabbed on her wrist. Sonny's bodyguard quickly pushed the fan out of the way and ushered Sonny into the record studio. It was something about him that wasn't right about his stare. She looked over her shoulder ignoring the camera bulbs and screams as Mike stood calm staring her down.
"Weird", Sonny confirmed once she was safe away from the chaos and inside the building, as the police ushered her adoring fans away.
She smiled walking deeper into the studio, just the crisp smell of it made her stomach flutter excited. It was fate for her to make music because it was the first day since her pregnancy she didn't have morning sickness.
Major, Sonny's record label company was always buzzing with interns and music reps working on new projects. Among the multi million dollar plaques, Sonny's first record was framed at the front entrance invitingly. She furrowed her brows, for the first time it appeared slightly empty.
"Where's everybody?" she inquired taking off her sunglasses again before she was interrupted with a roar of " SURPRISE" followed by the confetti popping out of the ceiling and the company and its executives appeared bearing gifts. A elaborately decorated cake with Sonny's face plastered across was strolled inside.
"Thank you", Sonny cooed genuinely surprised, and fanned her face. Surprises didn't go well with pregnant woman. "I almost peed my pants", she joked enveloped in a hug by a different person every other second.
"Its great to have you back", and " You look amazing", were air quotes being thrown around the office party until the party girl was taken into the meeting room with her record producer and executives of Major Enterprises.
Sonny sat cross legged before the board table of men who smiled politely until she became comfortable after slipping off her shoes.
"So", Rick began and folded his hand on top of the table. "We see major stars in your future, and we want to start recording as soon as possible".
"Tomorrow", one man stated abruptly.
Sonny nodded along with her manager who excitedly nodded. " Perfect".
"First we want to start advertising your new CD and after you drop that load-
"Excuse me?" Sonny furrowed her brows. "by load do you mean my unborn child?"
"Yeah", Rick nodded unemotionally with a smile. The closest thing he had to a relationship was his occasional girlfriend here and there.
"Don't worry", another executive stated. " We made collaborations in case you can't make it on time",
Sonny nodded, " Who?"
"Jessica Jay", they stated excitedly and extended their arm as the pop star honey blonde appeared in a too skimpy outfit and heavily caked makeup.
Sonny's smiled disappeared, she hated Jessica with a passion. They'd both started off at the same time singing and Jessica wanted war. She even dated Chad for 2 weeks.
Anybody but her.
"Hey Sonny!", her bubbly voice appeared as she graciously hugged Sonny as she limply patted Jessica's shoulder before she was released.
"Now, where's that husband of yours?"
…….
"Yours and I've always been yours Whitney", Chad recited his lines perfectly gazing into his co stars eyes deeply with a gun to his side in the dramatic scene, he was flawless.
"AND cut! Beautiful, Lovely", the director stated. "Take 20".
He smiled when the scene was over. "You were great", he smiled at the nice woman whose actual name was Buffy.
"You too Cooper", she smile before heading to her trailer.
After handing the stunt coordinator his props he exited the set, he still felt weird. He hadn't seen Sonny all day, when he woke in the morning she was gone. Although he was happy for her, he missed seeing her everyday morning, noon, and night.
Chad looked down at his buzzing cell phone and went to the unread message. He smiled when Sonny's cheerful face appeared with a puckered grin in a picture message the tagline read: Missing You. He smiled and felt his heart flutter as he made his way toward his trailer about to call his wife.
Just when his finger was about to press call Portlyn's sharp voice invaded his thoughts.
"You were great", Portlyn mocked his conversation with Buffy earlier her hands in her back pockets as she walked closer to him.
He rolled his eyes. " I thought I made myself clear".
"I mean, seriously how many people are you cheating on Sonny with. I thought I was promiscuous ", she joked ignoring his comment from before.
Set workers turned nosily toward the two to get a better view. Chad grabbed Portlyn by her wrist forcefully pulling her into his luxury trailer.
"What do you want?" he demanded.
"Is this how you treat the mother of your child?" she asked sarcastically sitting next to the round table where a framed photo of Chad and Sonny hugging sat framed. Her eyes quickly fell to the picture, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
"No", Chad barked walking from the kitchen of his trailer agitatedly. " I don't, you know why? Because I love her".
"Oh Chad, you're too much", she smiled plastically before rolling her eyes. "You mean it". Her sarcasm was as nerve wrecking as her attitude.
"Not unless your named suddenly changed to Sonny, I don't think so", Chad crossed his arms and looked away. " I think you should go".
Portlyn angrily grabbed her Gucci tote off the table purposely knocking over the picture frame.
"You think you're so wholesome now, please. Sonny doesn't know half the stuff that me and Tawni know about you", her blue eyes were dark and cold.
Chad cleared his throat, his past wasn't the best, it actually was pretty bad leading up to the days of Vegas.
"I've changed, maybe you should do the same",
Portlyn laughed and placed her hands on the curve of her stomach. "Get real baby daddy, you and I are one in the same that country hick isn't right for you Chad. Just ask anybody in Hollywood". A smirk played across her glossy lips, she could tell she was getting to him and she loved it.
"Just leave".
He clenched his jaws and shook his head guiding her toward the door by her elbow, she snatched away quickly.
" You better be lucky I have a sushi reservations", Portlyn slowly moved down the steps with her killer high heels, they had to be at least 5 inches.
"Oh, and you'll come back, you always do-
Before she could get the rest of her speech out Chad slammed the door in her face and said a silent prayer when he heard her footsteps walking away.
He was boiling over with anger, it seemed like whenever everything was going well something from his past always screwed it up. He was almost sure he didn't have anything to do with Portlyn's so called baby. He wished he could erase the night, erase her, and everything else going hay wire in his life.
Chad angrily knocked over anything in reach to leash his anger. Minutes later, he was still heated while sitting down with his head bowed he ignored the consistent knock at the door.
"Go the hell away", he barked.
"Excuse me?" a taunt high class voice appeared, he looked immediately confused.
"Mother?" he asked truly confused, he hadn't seen her in a good two weeks. He dodged all her calls, and voicemails he didn't want to deal with her right now either.
"Oh my", Mrs. Cooper voiced clinging to her pearls over looking the trailer. "Who did this?"
"Me", Chad dryly answered.
"Why?"
He rose abruptly. "In case you haven't noticed mother I haven't been exactly happy lately . And you haven't exactly helped the situation either". Chad's baby blue eyes bored into his mothers identical to his, he was expecting her to argue back.
"I know", she admitted and bowed her head. Chad turned intrigued, she never admitted to being wrong. Her eyes watered.
"But you're my only child, and now you're having a child and you got married so quickly. Chaddy, you're only 21", her voice quaked. "What did you want me to do? I don't have a problem with Sonny you're just so young".
He was sympathetic seeing his mothers eyes brim with tears. "Don't cry mom, I just wanted you to be there for me. Especially now", he whispered the last part and hugged his petite mother tightly before he unloosened the grip. All was fixed, Chad thought, one less problem I have.
Kendra Cooper smiled relieved. " What did you mean by especially now?"
"Portlyn's pregnant supposedly, and its supposedly mine ", he admitted as his mother swatted his arm.
"Dylan I didn't raise you like that".
"But mom, I can't even remember that night and Portlyn's crazy you know that".
Mrs. Cooper nodded understanding, she had book club with Portlyn's mother and they both were a little intense.
"What do you want to do now?"
"I want to just go home to wife, because she's the only woman I'll ever need- besides you", he quickly told his mother jokingly.
"Focus on what makes you happy now. Take this whole ordeal one step at a time baby, and just go to her", Kendra tapped her son's cheek heading for the door. " Oh, tell her I'm taking her and the baby shopping next week".
……..
Chad sat perched in the spacious Egyptian themed living room excitedly staring at the door, any second now Sonny would come through those doors. He clenched the bouquet of roses excitedly when the door finally pushed open.
He heard her sigh exhaustedly, she didn't know she'd be back until after late. Sonny ruffled her hair dropping her shoes by the foyer and walking deeper inside the living room. She stopped midway.
"Baby", she purred excitedly and stretched her arms out for Chad and the roses as she linked her arms across her waist he kissed her forehead.
"Happy back to work day", Chad confirmed and waited until she kissed his lips to sit her back down on his lap.
"Thank you", Sonny smiled fondling the roses and stretched her arms above her head tiredly.
"How was work?" he asked rubbing her shoulders.
"Dramatic as always, I met this fan", she began. " He gave me the creeps it was just something about him".
"Are you okay?" Chad asked alarmed as Sonny nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine just-
"Not you", Chad teased and lowered his head to her growing belly. "The baby", he affectionately rubbed her round stomach before pecking it like he did every night.
Sonny giggled and ran her fingers through his silky locks as they cuddled against each other on the couch. She buried her fast into his chest laying her body on top of his tiredly.
"You know what I love?" she whispered rubbing her chin against his chest as it rose and fell. Her eyes fluttered closed.
"What?" Chad whispered back absently rubbing circles in her back.
"We can tell each other anything".
His eyes widened, now was the time, he thought. Now or Never.
"Actually baby-
A soft snore escaped from Sonny lighting the mood.
It could wait, he confirmed and leaned forward to peck the side of Sonny's head as she cuddled tighter to him. He could feel her warm stomach next to him, breathing in and out. The two most important things in his life was wrapped tightly around his arms. What more could he ask for?
"I love you", she whispered still half way sleep.
"I love you too baby".
