Baby Makes 3
"Well", Chad sighed leaning forward to retrieve his gurgling I phone that popped and crackled at him from the definite water damage. He pushed the god rim of his shades closer to his nose and sighed heavily.
He was pissed.
Finally, he was ready to admit it. He was no longer in denial about his situation with Sonny. He was mad as hell, and he needed a vacation. Preferably to Wisconsin. A smile played across his lips the more he thought of spontaneously showing up to Wisconsin to surprise his wife. He hadn't seen her in awhile and he couldn't wait to see what she looked like.
"Travis don't!", Tawni screamed as Travis lunged his fist forward to no avail as he and James tussled teetering back and forth and few inches away from Chad who stood unfazed. From everything that happened in the last few months, this was normal.
The two guys wrestled until they both flew in the water with a loud splash wetting up half the guest. Kendra Cooper shrieked and casually flipped her blond hair when paparazzi emerged from the bushes snapping pictures left from right.
"Oh dear lord", Portlyn shook her head in disbelief wiping the water of her chin and flicking her fingers.
Yep, Chad confirmed to himself more sure of himself, if he wasn't sure about taking a vacation before he was absolutely positive. The Hollywood life was stressing him out, especially without a certain sunshine.
"Chad-
"We'll talk later", Chad quickly told Portlyn and began making a smooth exit until Tawni stopped him out of breath.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving", Chad casually spoke with a smile and gave a quick salute that only lasted halfway until his mother appeared.
"Leaving?" Kendra asked. "And going where?"
"Press junkets, then we have dinner with your next movie director", a familiar debonair voice appeared followed by the famous three piece Prada suit. It was Chad's top flight manager Jett.
"No", Chad tossed Jett his water drenched cell phone. " I'm going on vacation".
"Hell yeah!", Jett nodded enthusiastically pumping his tanned fist. " Where we going, Las Vegas for the weekend? Miami, Jamaica?"
"Nope", Chad grinned lifting his car alarm as the lights to his Range Rover. " More like… Wisconsin".
He sped all the way home and was still smiling, he couldn't believe it. By this time Sunday he'd be back in Wisconsin with his wife and her family for the weekend. It'd be good for him to finally get some fresh air, he didn't even mind that Jett was tagging along. He'd already told Connie about his plans to win her daughter back, he was just worried him showing up unannounced might send Sonny into early labor.
………….
"My gawd", Sonny confirmed with a frown standing in front of her mirror in the warm Sunday afternoon. She'd been struggling to get the zipper to her black Jersey mini dress for the church services. She'd just bought it last week and now she couldn't even get the zipper to come up. Her forehead was sweating, her cheeks were hot, and her ankles were sore. She felt like crap and looking at her enormous belly wasn't helping her attitude either.
"Sonny, you okay?" Caroline asked peaking her head across Sonny's door nervously as she struggled to slip into the dress.
Sonny groaned miserably and shook her head distressed. " Not even a little bit", she cried slightly hyper-ventilating and sent a piece of the zipper flying across the room from struggle.
Caroline squeaked and quickly shut the door scared of what was going to happen next and ran to get her Auntie. Connie quickly ran up the steps to see why Caroline was so scared and stopped in Sonny's room relieved and chuckled at her daughter.
Sonny quickly spun around swinging her chestnut hair that now reached the middle of her back upset.
"Mom, are you laughing at me?" she cried her warm brown eyes welling with tears. " I know I'm a fat cow but you don't have to laugh at me".
"Sweetie", Connie closed her daughter's bedroom door after her giggles stopped. " What's the matter?"
"Nothing, nothing", Sonny stated irritated throwing one of her now annual hissy fits. " My ankles are on fire, i have to pee every two seconds and my fast as---butt can't even fit this dress", she ended her rant with a long awaited cry plopping on her bed and hugged her pillow distressed. Sonny usually wasn't a complainer but something had been chipping at her for the last couple of days.
"Well honey", Connie smiled shaking her head. " I hate to break it to you, but you're pregnant", she leaned down to stroke her daughters hair while she sobbed into her pillow.
"And pregnant women gain weight. You should be happy at least when know the babies healthy", her mother added soothingly.
"Let's talk about what all this is really about".
Sonny sniffed on her side, and rubbed her reddened nose.
"I know you miss Chad".
"No I don't-
"And I know for a fact he misses you, and as much as all of us have tried to help you we can't replace a husband".
"Mom, we're separated".
"I know, but your due date is coming faster than you think. I mean you're almost 7 months. Whatever you two decided to do, you better do it fast because my granddaughter is coming whether you two are ready are not. Understood?"
Sonny rose and wiped her tear streaked face and nodded somberly while looking down at her stomach distantly. The baby didn't even feel like hers, it just felt like Chad.
"Good", Connie smiled proudly walking over to Sonny's closet and picked a warm yellow summer dress that was loose around the stomach and pushed up at the breast. " Now, put this on and meet everyone downstairs".
…
"God", Jett complained flipping through the newspaper bored it'd been an hour since they had landed in Wisconsin and they were waited casually in the rental SUV outside the Munroe's church.
"Why don't we just go inside there, she's going to be surprised either way man".
"Well excuse me if I don't want her passing out in church. I mean, I don't even know if she wants you back", Chad stated sliding off his sunglasses and looked down at his watch. The church service would be over in another 5 minutes. Chad could barely stop his nerves from jittering.
Jett laughed pushing up the sleeve of his Gucci blazer. " What are you worried about, I mean she's got to be huge by now. No guy besides you would want her", he jokingly added.
Chad turned and punched Jett in the arm as hard as he could as his manager/friend recoiled and grabbed his arm in pain.
"She's my wife, okay?"
"Jeez", Jett winced. " I was just kidding, we both know she's one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, besides her sister Gina of course".
Chad smiled sheepishly and refocused on the white Cathedral church door. At any moment the Munroe's would be emerging from those same doors. He held his breath when the door finally opened and a crowd of familiar faces appeared.
Chad climbed out of the driver's side anxiously and waited by the car bubbling over with excitement. Almost last out, the family emerged but Chad's grin faded as he lowered the bouquet of flowers.
Where was she?
Sonny exhaled running her hands under the warm faucet after throwing up for the second time that day. She kept getting nervous, jumpy twitches in her body and the baby was kicking like crazy. Her mother said the baby was just getting excited over the church service.
She shrugged walking the aisle of the empty church and slowly walked out the church careful not to walk too fast. Her balance had been teetering in the 3 inch heels she insisted on wearing although her ankles were killing her. The way she saw it, her face was getting fat, her figure was long gone, but no one would ever take her shoes.
"Oh my goodness!", someone shrieked followed by a loud chorus of people talking.
Oh no, Sonny thought expecting her Uncle Sam had showed his pet snake to the public again and quickly rushed outside to see the commotion.
"Chad!", Caroline screamed dropping her mothers hand to run as fast as she could into Chad's arms. Chad leaned forward to scoop the little girl into his arms and gave her a tight hug and carried her toward the rest of the family.
Sonny was stunned frozen, she couldn't move.
Church goers all ran to get his autograph and take pictures with him. Sonny couldn't believe her eyes, she thought she was going to faint. Her hands hung like a dolls at her sides, she didn't know what to do. Him being in Wisconsin was almost unreal. She hadn't seen him in weeks, and in her eyes he never looked better.
He was casual in light wash blue jeans, and a simple V neck t shirt. He had just hugged her mother when his eyes looked toward the steps and found her.
Sonny felt self-conscious and pulled at her bracelets.
Chad stared absently at her and smiled feeling electricity shoot through his body and his fingertips tingle, suddenly he was consumed with butterflies. He felt like he had a crush all over again. She looked amazing, and the glow on her face was undeniable.
Slowly Sonny's feet guided her down the steps she felt like she was in an out of body experience floating above and watching things with a birds eye view. She felt dizzy.
"Chad?" she asked when she got closer to him, her eyelids blinking up and down slowly.
He smiled glad she didn't scream or threaten to kill him. " I didn't mean to upset you".
Sonny slapped him hard across the face cutting his words short.
"You really have some nerve", she sniffed her eyes welling with a fresh batch of tears as she kicked off her heels and ran toward her car.
