Baby Makes 3

"Young actress slash superstar Sonny Munroe was nearly kidnapped yesterday evening by her deranged stalker, Michael Jinx. Apparently the deranged man attempted abduct the star idol before her husband a list actor Chad Dylan Cooper came to her rescue", the young reported nodded holding the microphone in front of the Cooper/ Munroe residence where the media outlet were still waiting to get the extra scoop.

Inside, Sonny was still shaken where she sat in the spacious living room where all her friends and family were.

"How many times have you seen this man?" the detective sternly asked.

Sonny sniffed and shook her head. " I don't know a couple times before".

"And you didn't think to alert us?" he demanded.

"Hey", Tawni interjected harshly pointing the finger at the detective. " My best friend was nearly abducted by some crazy lunatic and you're pressuring her?"

He nodded. "Excuse me if I sound insensitive but this is a high profile case and we need to find this man as soon as possible".

Sonny nodded and crossed her arms. " I understand".

Chad paced around in the back yard over and over in circles. His guilt was eating him alive, he'd never felt worse in his life. He even went back to old habits in his early times and smoked to calm himself down. In the other room his wife was filing a police report for a crime he could've prevented if he wasn't with Portlyn.

Chad blew gray smoke from the corner of his mouth and squinted his eyes still jumpy from the events that occurred less than 24 hours ago.

James appeared from the back door and exhaled when he saw his friends.

"I'm so sorry dude", he apologized holding his hands up in surrender. " I should've drove her home, and I should've made sure she was okay and –

"Its fine", Chad confirmed closing his eyes and took a long drag from the cigarette before exhaling. James walked closer to his best friend and furrowed his brows.

"You okay man?" he asked eyeing the cigarette. "You don't smoke anymore".

"I do now", Chad stated dryly turning to James emotionless. The bottom of his eyes were brimmed red like he hadn't slept in days, his fist were bloodied and stitched up from where he punched the psycho in the face. His shirt was wrinkled and his skin appeared to loose its glow, none the less he was still disturbingly good looking.

"I want the old me back", Chad spoke again scratching his golden locks. "When the only person I had to worry about was me. Only me, I feel like my youth has been robbed and I don't want any of this".

Sonny opened the door about to speak but stayed behind and listened to the conversation, but half way in she felt like she'd heard enough before she quickly bagged away.

"I turned 21 7 months ago, and now I'm married with a kid on the way", he confirmed shaking his head. It wasn't how he pictured his life, he wasn't saying he didn't want his new life. It just felt like he wasn't ready for it yet.

"I've been waiting on her hand and foot like Mr. nice guy, that's not me okay? I don't call anyone baby, or sweetie. I feel like an imposter".

"You're a good guy, Chad", James told him and patted his shoulder but Chad shrugged him off.

"I'm not", his blue eyes stared into the clear outdoor pool in their yard. "Really".

"What do you mean?" James asked.

Chad exhaled and blew circles of smoke before he spoke again flicking the gray ash on the freshly manicured grass.

"I might have another kid on the way", he confessed in the air.

James didn't respond, because he was genuinely stunned. Never in a million years would he have thought that Chad Dylan Copper of all people would screw up so bad.

"You cheated on Sonny?"he whispered wide eyed.

"No", Chad crinkled his flawless features. "This was when we were separated. Portlyn came over and one thing just led to another".

"Portlyn?" James hissed in a high pitched whisper until Chad warned him to lower his voice.

"I thought she'd gained a little weight but I thought that anorexic was trying to get curves for once", he attempted to joke.

Chad didn't smile. "And I was with her yesterday".

"You're kidding right?"

Chad nodded somberly. "I'm not as good as everyone thinks. Maybe I've been wearing a mask this whole time and fooled you all".

"You're shaken up from yesterday".

He shook his head still dragging the cigarette. "Sonny deserves a good guy, and I'm just not that person for her anymore".

"All she needs is you".

Chad shrugged and rubbed his already reddened eyes. He'd finally said what he'd been carrying around his chest for months now. It was out in the open, but somehow he still didn't feel relieved. He felt worse for even saying something like that.

"I'm too screwed up to help anyone but myself. Look at my father James, I'm just like him. Two women pregnant at once", Chad shook his head disappointedly at himself.

"You don't know if Portlyn's kid is yours".

Chad turned to face James. "What if it is? Then what?"

"I don't know", James lifted his shoulders. " But I do know you have to tell Sonny as soon as possible".

"She'll leave me", he confirmed tossing the cigarette in the high matinence pool.

"You don't know that".

"I know she loves you Chad, and you love her. This guilt thing is going to pass trust me", James forcefully hugged his friends. It was weird for Chad, James was always the bad influence. But here he was giving advice.

The door opened followed by the clicking of heels. Tawni slid her jacket over limply. Travis had left hours ago over a fight he and her got into over something petty.

She hugged Chad tightly and squeezed him and extra time to let him know everything would be alright. By this time everyone had poured out of the Bel-Air mansion to give the couple their space.

"James can you drive me home?" she asked in a small voice once she broke free from Chad. James nodded and put his arm around her for moral support.

"Of course", he spoke.

Tawni turned briefly to speak to Chad. "Its going to be okay", she stated over her shoulder before exiting with Travis surely to be swarmed by the near paparazzi.

"No its not", Chad clenched his jaws staring out across the spacious back lawn. It looked more like a luxury botanical and part pool resort.

He waited a good forty five minutes before he shrugged back inside to face Sonny. Chad walked past the foyer but stopped when he saw Sonny sitting all alone in the spacious living room with her head bowed. He dropped his hands from his pockets and slowly made his was deeper inside and stood before her.

"How you holding up?" he asked casually. He didn't have the energy to call her any pet names because frankly he was getting sick of all the sweet goodness in their relationship. He missed the fire, the thrill of arguing like back in Wisconsin when they visited their parents. They had so much, angst, energy, and by far the most exciting chemistry they had in their whole relationship.

Sonny's brown eyes lifted from the smooth white carpet and toward Chad.

"Why didn't you tell me you were so unhappy?" she asked seriously.

Chad furrowed his brows. " What are you talking about?"

"I heard you and James".

His bright blue eyes widened. " How much did you hear?"

"Enough", she confirmed and crossed her arms.

Chad sighed, she obviously hadn't heard about the Portlyn thing and plopped beside her.

"I'm not unhappy", Chad admitted. "I juts feel like I'm lying myself. And I'm scared to death this kid is going to resent me like I resented my own father for awhile".

Sonny grabbed his face in her hands and made him look at her.

"Our baby will never resent you Chad. We're both new this whole parent thing. You think I'm not scared? Or have regrets?"

Chad shook his head and wiped the slow tears off her cheeks with the pads of his thumbs before kissing her lips. She folded her legs across his lap and rested her chin on his shoulder as he pecked her cheeks. It had just been confirmed, he wanted nothing else but his new life. All the crap he was talking earlier was him panicking.

"I love you", Chad spoke stroking her stomach as she played with his locks. He wrapped his arms tightly around her body.

"I love you too".

Chad grinned back into a playful mood. "I was talking to the baby", he laughed when she swatted his arm. He smiled, "Hey I love you too", he winked.

"I was so scared the other day-

"Shh", Chad pressed his index finger to her lips. " Its in the past, that creep is going to be locked up for the rest of his life".

Sonny smiled, instantly at ease and sunk into Chad. Moments of relaxation were ruined when Chad's watch beeped.

He groaned.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to meet my parents to calm them down. They saw the news", he interjected rising from the couch.

Chad grinned. "Hey, you can come if you want".

Sonny quickly shook her head. "No thanks", she laughed and pointed he finger.

"And actually bring ice cream back this time", she taunted.

"Not a problem", he winked taking her face in his wide hands and kissed her lips slowly before she walked him toward the door.

She smiled closing the door behind him, so her life wasn't exactly happily ever after. But it was happily realistic.

Almost an half an hour later Sonny emerged wrapping her cardigan over her body with a smile. She just knew it was Chad.

"That was quick, Chad?" her voice quickly faltered once she opened the floor to ceiling door as Portlyn stepped into view.

Portlyn pushed her hair out of her distressed face. "I'm sorry", she admitted somberly once Sonny had graciously let her in completely concerned.

"I didn't know who else to turn to", Portlyn nodded seriously. " I have to talk to someone".

Inwardly Portlyn was smirking, just thinking of Chad's reaction.

Sonny uncrossed her arms. " What's wrong?"
