Baby Makes 3

Let it go

Let it roll right off your shoulder

Don't you know?

The hardest part is over…

"Almost finished", Tawni Hart sighed to her best friend as her ponytailed hair bounced and swished when she sauntered into Sonny's bedroom. Both girls were in sweats, and had been eating ice cream all day while packing. Usually Tawni was team Chad but she decided she had enough of Chad and his unpredictable antics. Although it pained her to say it, she was starting to believe that maybe they weren't meant to be after all.

"Yep", Sonny confirmed brightly propped up on her folded knees as she continued to overstuff her suitcase. She was done, finished, and furious to name a few emotions. She took a spoon full of vanilla ice cream out of the extra large tub of ice cream and sighed zipping one of the many suitcases lined out in her bedroom.

Coop bounced across the room excitedly playing with his chew toy, he was in a Burberry sweater and boots courtesy of Tawni. They both giggled at the over eccentric dog shaking their heads.

Tawni plopped beside Sonny armed with T-shirts and tanks she'd retrieved from the second closet and plopped them into the empty suitcase, she didn't want to ask anymore questions about Chad after she heard about the whole Portlyn thing. This, in her book was just unforgiveable.

They packed for a few moments before Sonny nudged Tawni in the rib cage.

"How's your love life movie star?" she teased.

Tawni playfully rolled her blue eyes and plopped backward on the floor. " Stressful".

"Details", Sonny insisted while keeping a steady packing routine.

"Travis is a doll but I slept with James and-

"Whoa", Sonny held her hands out like a referee and squinted her warm brown eyes. " Back it up, repeat".

"Oh", Tawni waved her manicured hand. "Girl, you've been so caught up in this soap opera dram called life. I slept with James accidently I swear. And I don't know who I love more, James or Travis?" she lifted a red and blue shirt for emphasis.

Sonny squeezed her friend's shoulder. "Take it from me babe, love sucks".

"Hey", Tawni voiced after swallowing cold ice cream. "Don't say that, you and Chad were perfect".

"While it lasted, love doesn't last forever. Look at your parents", Sonny brought up facts bitterly.

"Look at your parents", Tawni continued. "They're still in love".

"Yeah", Sonny smiled with no humor and rose to pick up a few photo frames off her dresser. " He didn't cheat on her twice and have another baby".

"How do you know?" Tawni tossed the brown teddy bear at the back of Sonny's head to make a joke. She was thankful when Sonny cracked a smile. It'd been awhile since she'd actually seen that ocean wide grin.

"I hate you", Sonny smiled and held her arms out for her best friend who rose sprinting over to hug her tightly.

"Hate you too", Tawni sighed squeezing Sonny tightly and looked down at her growing belly.

"Not you Honey Cooper", she smiled.

Sonny smiled swatting her crazy girlfriend away so she could get the rest of her things.

Tawni plopped back down and absently played with the hemline of one of the dresses Sonny had worn to the golden globes.

"Can I have this?"

"Take whatever you want", Sonny confirmed standing on her tip toes in the walk in closet.

Tawni suddenly became quiet, Sonny walked back to her bedroom and laughed at her friend looking somber in the mass of clothes. She stopped when Tawni's eyes became watery.

"What's wrong?" she asked concerned slowly sitting down next to Tawni who turned to face her.

"Am I as worse as Chad?" her voice quaked.

"What?" Sonny crinkled her brows trying to understand.

"I mean, me being with Travis and still having James", she sniffed shaking out her blond hair.

Sonny knew it had been bothering Tawni, but not to this extent.

"Honey", she purred when Tawni plopped her head on Sonny's shoulder. " You're nothing like that, you're not married and you told Travis up front you wasn't sure if you were over your ex, right?"

Tawni nodded. "Yeah", she answered lowly.

"You're fine then", Sonny confirmed encouragingly and ignored the stab at her heart with the mention of Chad's name.

"Thanks", Tawni lifted her head and smiled brightly again. Sonny was jealous of Tawni for a second, at how she could always let things roll right off her shoulders.

She rose. "We're basically finished, except for the photo frames".

Tawni sauntered over toward Sonny's night stand and started loading the pictures into another suitcase and stopped so quick it made Sonny turn.

"You okay?"

Tawni held the photo of Chad and Sonny, in the Las Vegas beach smiling in the camera all intertwined and in love.

Sonny's smiled disappeared and she lowered her gaze to the white carpet. "Leave it".

"You sur-

"Leave it", Sonny repeated sharper and Tawni nodded, not wanting to open up old wounds.

Tawni lifted her thumb. "I'm going to go load this in the car, c'mon Coop", she called before sprinting down the spiral staircase luggage in tow.

Sonny walked across the room and stared at the lonesome photo in the newly vacant room and sighed picking up the frame, and almost smiled. She slid the picture out and put it in the hidden zipper of her trolley. She decided to leave her wedding picture right where it was.

She reached for Chad's side and pulled at his pillow inhaling his familiar scent and touched the coolness and couldn't help but tear up. Despite everything, she was going to miss him, nevertheless. The way she saw it, her baby wouldn't miss the father she never had.

Tawni emerged from the front door and looked around the almost ghost like home, it had lost it Sonny-ness.

"Its freaking seeing it like this".

Sonny nodded. "Yeah-

But was interrupted when Tawni suddenly gave her a tight bear hug burying her head in Sonny's shoulder. "I'm going to miss you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much".

"But I'm not leaving till tomorrow". It was true, her flight wasn't until 11 the next day but she didn't want to be alone in the Bel- air mansion, not again.

"I know", Tawni tilted her chin. " But I'm s till going to miss ya".

"I know, but you can always visit me in Wisconsin babe", Sonny winked and Tawni was satisfied lowering her sunglasses.

"I forgot something, be right back", Sonny confirmed strolling the opposite way.

"Off we go", her words trailed off, and there the man himself stood. Chad.

"Tawni", he sounded surprised to see her.

"Chad", Tawni replied less enthusiastic.

His eyes were blood- shot like he'd been crying, or had loss of sleep. His blond hair wasn't as shiny, and he looked exhausted. Not partying and enjoying the single life like Sonny had imagined he did with his new found freedom.

"Is Sonny here-

"I know what you did Chad, how could you?" Tawni's voice sounded hurt as she squinted her eyes. One would think he was the one that hurt her, but she always became emotional when it came to Sonny.

"I've lost my way, seriously I don't know where my head has been. I'm an idiot, I don't deserve Sonny I know, and I'm an ass, a jerk face whatever you want to call me. But I did love her, I do love her".

Tawni wasn't having it, she shook her head and looked teary eyed. " I was always rooting for you, whenever no one else was. But you've hurt her one too many times Chad, you can't fix this. I can't help you with this one".

Sonny stopped midway listening to the conversation.

"Can I just see her, please?" Chad whispered weakly.

"No", Tawni crossed her arms and guarded the door even though Chad towered over her, even with heels on.

"Let him in", Sonny insisted coming into view.

Tawni turned and nodded. "Okay", and faced Chad. "Don't hurt her", she told him before walking over to her Mercedes truck.

"Chad", Sonny began dryly.

"At least let me explain", he pleaded. " I'm

"Sorry Sonny I don't know what to say. I love you", Sonny mimicked Chad who shook his head.

"But it do!", he shook his head distraught.

"Yeah?" she laughed bitterly. " You have a funny way of showing it".

"I saw you with that doctor guy and-

"He's a friend Chad, unlike Portlyn. I don't even know why I'm talking to you right now", Sonny crinkled her eyebrows and shrugged past him. "I'm leaving you Chad, for good".

Chad's blood ran cold and he felt the life he wanted being ripped right from underneath him, and the first time in his life he was scared. Scared of loosing the love of his life, for real. Through all the arguments and the pain, she never once left.

"Baby no", he sniffed shaking his head in disbelief but she was already gathering her things to leave out the door. "I'm sorry, I'm a bastard but we can work this out, just don't leave me here. All alone", he panicked and dropped to his knees to keep her from leaving through the front door, and his life.

"Its too late Chad, move!", Sonny screeched as fresh tears filled the corner of her eyes.

"I need you, I love you", Chad pleaded hugging Sonny's waist and she felt warm tears wet her cotton shirt. Sonny's fingers naturally stroked his soft honey colored hair.

She almost forgave him until she thought of everything he put her through and became cold and used every force in her body to pry him off of her. When that didn't work, she slapped him, hard, harder than she meant to. But it got him off of her.

"Leave me alone, I don't want you", Sonny retorted choking on her tears and left him there standing on his knees and sped walked to the car.

Tawni was still waiting leaning on her car and looked out at the house and walked back in to talk to Chad, she was sure he was beyond distraught.

Chad was still on his knees when she found him. " Get up Chad", she stated soothingly.

He shook his head staring blankly. " Not until she comes back, I won't move until my wife is back in my arms".

"She's not coming back C.D.C", Tawni kneeled down to hug his limp body. " This can't be fixed".

Chad rose abruptly and tried to ran out the door. " Sonny!" he screamed desperately as Tawni held him back.

Sonny turned her head and hid her face in her hands hiding her tears.

"If you love her, let her go", Tawni pecked his cheek. " You'll be fine", she told him when she knew he was calm before walking back to her car and pulling off. Thankful Chad didn't try to run after them screaming her name, and crying, the paparazzi would've had a field day. They were flashing pictures in mobs forming behind them.

She turned to Sonny. " You sure about this?"

Sonny turned and looked through the rear view mirror as Chad became smaller and smaller.

"This time, I am".
