Sonny sighed peacefully cuddles against Chad where they laid lazily on their hammock outside swaying back and forth on the lounge. It'd been a few hours since her family had left for their early flight back to Wisconsin. Although she was sad to see them leave, having alone time with Chad wasn't so bad. They'd both called off at work, to sit back, relax, and be lazy for once.

Chad never had so much free time on his hands, he liked the feeling of waking up and not rushing to work. Just cuddling against his wife in the early afternoon was unusually comforting.

He crossed his ankles and absently traced the outline of Sonny's warm palm. She smiled at his gestures and quickly pecked his cheek. This was better than paradise. She rubbed her nose against his taking in his familiar Polo blue cologne before planting slow kisses across his face and neck.

"This feels amazing".

"Yeah", Chad nodded with a grin. "I haven't had this much free time since I was born".

Sonny giggled resting her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I hope it feels like this forever".

"What do you mean?"

"Us", she smiled clinging tighter to him. " No lies between us, you know".

Chad's eyes widened quickly and her chest felt poked. He hated lying to her everyday but he didn't need the whole Portlyn thing stressing Sonny or the baby out. And, frankly he didn't want to find out what Sonny would do.

He opened his mouth to speak to was interrupted by Tawni's exaggerated voice. They turned around baffled, as Travis followed behind her.

"Hey guys", she greeted lifting her arms showing where the dozens of baby bags dangling from her forearms. Travis waved his hand after setting down the over sized diaper disposal.

Sonny and Chad peeled themselves from the hammock to greet the two. The moment had of course been ruined. She could've cared less, it was always good to see friends. Even, James sometimes.

Travis nodded toward Chad and scurried over to hug Sonny who squeezed him tightly.

"Travis, when you'd get back from Wisconsin?"

"Yesterday", he smiled standing beside Tawni.

Sonny opened her mouth to speak but Chad stretched his arms interrupting her.

"I'm sorry is there a baby shower going on we don't know about?" he asked sarcastically.

"No", Travis shook his head. "We're dropping off a few things for the nursery".

"I hope you didn't spend too much", Sonny smiled pulling the side door to their backdoor open and let their company inside.

"Only a couple grand", Tawni stated casually with a shrug plopping the bags down headed toward the Cooper's master chef kitchen.

"That's too much", Sonny objected shaking her head.

Chad wrapped his arms around her from the behind and shook his head. "Don't complain", he joked.

"So when are we going to pain the nursery like seriously because- Tawni stopped dead in her tracks at the figure hovering in the open fridgerator door. James turned with the milk carton pressed to his lips, and smiled at Tawni with a wink.

Her smile faltered quickly into a scowl.

"What is he doing here?"

"Oh", Sonny exhaled with a sheepish grin. Somehow she failed to realize to tell her best friends that her ex boyfriend was living with them temporarily.

"Great", Chad groaned. "Now I can't eat cereal tomorrow".

"I live here babe", James's smirk disappeared when he saw Travis drape an arm around Tawni's shoulders.

"Temporarily until his condo is finished being remodeled", Sonny added to calm Sonny down.

"Excuse me Sonny, may I speak to you in the other room please?" Tawni asked politely and yanked on Sonny's arm leading her into the dining room.

"He lives with you", she accused.

Sonny shook her head smiling. " For another week and a half".

Tawni shook her head fanning her face. " I can't believe this I could kill you".

"Hey", Sonny raised her index finger jokingly. "I'm pregnant". She'd been wandering when she could pull off the pregnancy card.

Chad stood in between of the two guys scratching his forehead and looking down at his shoes.

"So?" he began awkwardly as the two guys stared each other down.

James wiped the milk mustache from his mouth. "Chad whose this?" he demanded to know.

"Chad who is this guy?" Travis asked loudly.

"Tawni's boyfriend who are you?"

"Her ex boyfriend", Travis smirked crossing his arms as Sonny and Tawni emerged again.

"What?" she asked wide eyed.

Travis turned cross armed toward her. "So, when were you going to tell me he was back in town?" he asked obviously upset.

Tawni gulped and focused on his wavy brown hair instead of his sharp eyes that were shooting daggers in her direction.

Sonny and Chad stood cuddled next to each other entertained as their heads shot back and forth at the couple as if it was a tennis match every time one of them spoke.

"I didn't think it mattered", she uttered quickly.

"Well it does".

James was pleased with himself, he didn't even plan on causing drama today.

"Can we not do this now, gosh", she argued back crossing her arms. "There's nothing going on between us".

"You sure?" James teased with another famous wink.

Chad giggled impressed with his friends comment until Sonny swatted his chest.

Tawni narrowed her eyes on her handsome ex pensively, she could've just smacked his arrogant smug face right then and there.

Before anything else occurred Chad interrupted with his hands on Sonny's shoulders.

"How about we all go out to dinner, my treat?" he asked hoping to relieve the stress.

Everyone turned interestedly. "Okay", they all agreed. The outing of the famous four was sure to cause definite paparazzi drama.

Sonny clapped excitedly and grabbed her stomach. " Wait, I have to pee".

…….

"Again?" everyone complained in unison across the table at the trendy downtown hipster restaurant. It was dim and secluded enough so the famous pack would have some type of privacy.

Sonny rose in dark wash blue jeans, brown Ugg boots, paired with a loose long sleeve dressy top.

"I have the bladder of two inside me right now. Are any of you pregnant?" she asked moodily before rising to head to the bathroom. Since they'd been seated she'd made at least 12 bathroom stops.

"I should probably go after her", Tawni asked concernedly lifting up the bell sleeves to her cashmere sweater.

Chad waved his hand casually. "She's fine, those are hormones. When she comes back I guarantee you she'll be back to normal", he smiled speaking from experience.

Sonny flipped her long hair out of her face agitatedly once she'd emerged from the bathroom stall. She could still hear the chorus of laughter and conversation through the thick restaurant door.

She washed her hands underneath the warm faucet water a few seconds longer to calm herself. When she looked up she heard the bathroom flush followed by heels. When she turned she was surprised to see Portlyn appear. Portlyn was surprised also, just seeing her was a complete accident.

Sonny turned revealing her growing baby bump. Portlyn quickly noticed and smiled, pretending to be shocked after she'd rinsed her hands clean.

"You're pregnant", she exclaimed.

Sonny nodded with a smile holding her stomach briefly before noticing Portlyn's own small circle in her midsection.

"Oh my god", she breathed. "Are you pregnant too?"

Portlyn hesitated for a second before nodding with a smile. "Yeah, its kind of a secret", she nodded.

"Why?" Sonny asked naively. She and Portlyn had never been the best of friends but she had nothing against her personally.

"The father doesn't want to be involved", she nodded somberly.

"What a jerk, are you talking about the blond?" Sonny asked speaking of the model she saw her with at her last doctor's appointment.

"I know", Portlyn acted casually and smiled again as they strolled out together.

"Hey is Chad here?"

Sonny lifted her chin in the direction of their table. "All of us".

Portlyn smirked inwardly just thinking about seeing Chad's face made her excited.

"I'll just say hey to everyone", she added as they strolled over to the table.

"Look who I found", Sonny introduced brightly to everyone who looked up.

Chad choked on his champagne glass at Portlyn and Sonny standing next to each other. He thought it was one of his nightmares at first but when he blinked she was still there.

"Hey everyone", she waved warmly but kept her gaze fixated on Chad who stirred uncomfortably as Sonny slid back next to him resting her head on his chest.

"Don't be a stranger", James warned playfully when Portlyn turned to leave.

"I'll be around a lot more, trust me", she stated before sashaying back over to her table with her group of friends.

Chad scratched his neck and cleared his throat. Suddenly it was hot, and his throat felt constricted. He pushed his plate further across the table.

"You okay?" Sonny asked curiously moving her hand across his face to check her temperature. Chad nodded absently and rested his head on Sonny's collarbone. She smiled running her fingers through his silky blond hair and kissed the top of his head.

"Ugh", James joked. " Get a room".

"Don't be mad because you're single", Travis bolded added.

Tawni groaned pushing her plate away, suddenly she had a loss of appetite.

Portlyn watched from the table with her girls jealous at Sonny and Chad cuddling.

"Girl", Monique smacked her lips as Jenny nodded in agreement.

"You just going to sit here and watch him and his wife?"

"No", Portlyn rose bitterly lifting her purse. " We're leaving", she confirmed strutting out as her friends followed tow.

Chad noticed pleased, maybe Portlyn was being mature for once in her life.

He was dead wrong.

Minutes later her cell phone vibrated indicating he had a new message: Come meet me NOW or I will march back in there and tell her EVERYTHING.

Chad felt something cold creep up beside him as he quickly put his cell phone away and swallowed hard. Portlyn was blackmailing him. Usually he wouldn't have cared but now Portlyn was actually speaking to Sonny. He reluctantly agreed texting back a simple: Fine, you've got 10 minutes and I'm gone.

"Sorry guys", he apologized catching everyone attention. "I have business to take care of", he replied reaching in his track jacket to pull out his platinum credit card.

Sonny grabbed his sleeve with a smile. "I'll come too".

"Not this time", he smiled pecking her forehead and waved to everyone else.

"You're really leaving?" Sonny asked disappointedly and lowered his eyes. Chad felt like the scum of the earth.

"But I'll bring you some ice cream home", he waited until she smiled again before making a quick exit.

Sonny sighed. "He's been really busy lately".

…….

"What?" Chad demanded angrily tearing through Portlyn's apartment. He heard her friends giggling in the distance so he knew she was home. He clenched his jaws tightly, words could not express how angry he was. He marched into the living room and finally located Portlyn as she stood up happily.

"Hey baby daddy", she smiled wrapping her arms around his waist.

Chad quickly unloosened the grip.

Portlyn smirked to her friends. "He's a little shy".

"What do you want?" he asked seriously and crossed his arms.

"You", Portlyn bit her bottom lip and toyed with the zipper to Chad's jacket. He grabbed her wrist and angrily led her across the room to speak in private. The last thing he wanted was the wannabe gossip girls spreading all his business across Los Angeles.

"Oh", she grinned. "You know I like it rough, baby".

"Why did you text me?"

"To get you away from her, and with me", Portlyn stated honestly.

Chad released her wrist angrily and began walking away.

"Where the hell are you going?" Portlyn barked devilishly. "I'm not finished with you".

"Home", Chad replied with a sarcastic grin just to bother her. " To my wife, the mother of my unborn child".

On his way home, he'd never sped so fast or been so happy to see Sonny.

…….

Sonny smiled happily after parking in their secluded neighborhood. She slammed her car door closed and dropped the keys in her purse. The ride had been slightly longer because she dropped James off at one of his many girlfriends house. The sun had just set, and the neighborhood had never been so peaceful.

Mike, one of her way too obsessed fans watched eagerly from his pickup truck. She was the love of his life, just watching her move was enough to drive him crazy. Chad didn't deserve her, her family didn't deserve her, or her friends, in his eyes he was the only person worthy of her. And, the baby she was carrying was somehow his, is Mike's imagination.

He slid out of the passenger seat and eagerly called her name sprinting where he parked a few cars down from hers. He held tightly to the two plastic cups of coffee he saw Chad and Sonny got every other morning.

Sonny turned curiously and furrowed her brows. She didn't see anybody in the distance until she heard a voice appear from behind her. She flinched when she saw her deranged fan. He had her face plastered everywhere, her name tattooed. He had a sun tattooed on his right eye for Sonny, and his hard rugged face. Sonny was frightened as her pulse quickened and sweat beaded across her forehead.

"Remember me?" he asked in a raspy husky voice as his eyes shifted dangerously across her face. At the moment all she wanted was Chad. This would be the tenth time she'd seen this guy, she knew she should've told somebody.

"Y-yes", she stated shakily standing in front of her car frozen as he approached closer.

"I love you", he proclaimed. "I'm your biggest fan ever. We have to be together we just have to", he stated excitedly in his alternate universe, Sonny loved him.

Sonny backed away shakily away from the stranger but he only stepped closer.

"I brought you some coffee", he smiled handing her the cup that she reluctantly accepted so she wouldn't alarm him.

"Don't be afraid of me Sonny, I'm your new husband", he confessed.

She widened her eyes scared for her life, she was shaking like a leaf on the outside.

"I'm married", Sonny's brown eyes blinked nervously.

"But you love me", he whispered.

Sonny shook her head throwing the coffee in his face and began to run for it but he gripped her arm pulling her shaking body to his and placed a blade against her neck. Tears poured from her eyes as she cried loudly petrified. All she could think of was her baby and Chad if something was to happen to her.

"Please don't kill me", she cried as warm tears rolled from her cheeks as he loosened the grip on her neck silently.

"That wasn't nice Sonny. I don't want to have to hurt you again, okay?" he asked calm and trailed his hand down to her stomach.

"How's my baby doing?" he asked deranged.

Sonny curled back disgustedly, he smelled like smoke and gasoline. She could feel herself getting ready to pass out. No cars passed, no one walked in the gated community. The houses were so far from each other, it'd be a miracle if anyone saw her.

"God I love you", he whispered against her cheek but stopped when her cell phone rung. He grabbed it briefly letting go of the grip. He smiled with no humor.

"Its from Chad", he rolled his eyes boredly before tossing her phone across the driveway.

"Get in the car", he demanded opening Sonny's car so he could pull off.

Sonny shook her head defiantly, if she got in the car she would never come back. "No".

Mike clenched his jaws and locked his arm around Sonny's neck with the blade again trying to stuff her in the car but she kicked scream and bit, tears and all.

Chad pulled up to his Bel-Air mansion and crinkled his brows at the pickup truck parked in front of his. Before he could think anything else of it he heard Sonny scream wretchedly. He ran in the direction immediately and stood frozen for a second at what he saw.

Sonny screamed shaking her head as some burly stranger stuffed her into the car. All he could think about was how scared his wife was and his baby. His whole life.

"Hey!", he screamed running up to Mike catching him by surprise. He tried to pull off but Chad grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, his blue eyes had turned cold as he hissed furious as Mike attempted to push Chad's weight off him.

Chad grabbed the blade, " I swear to fucking god, you better pray that they're okay or I promise I will kill you", he whispered coldly. He would've sliced Mike's neck completely if he hadn't heard Sonny sobbing.

"Baby", he sniffed helping her out of the car as she shook crying uncontrollably.

Mike quickly shuffled to his feet and beat it toward his car. Chad quickly turned to chase after him but he was already gone. Seconds later a neighbor had alerted the police.

Guilt fell over Chad heavily, he couldn't help but think that none of this would've happened if he hadn't met up with Portlyn.

Sonny wailed into Chad's chest still violently shaken up, Chad gripped her body tightly.

"I was so scared for the baby", Sonny hiccupped sobbing into Chad's chest, the way she was going it seemed like she would never be consoled.

"I'm so sorry", " I'm so sorry", Chad repeated rocking her body back and forth to ease her pain. He buried his head in her shoulder to hide his own tears, he almost lost everything that ever mattered to him.

Seconds later the police arrived.
