Baby Makes 3
"Have you seen my shoes? I need my shoes!" Chad yelled in panic poking his blond head through the closet to peer at his wife. Their scheduled appointment was in less than twenty minutes and he still hadn't been able to get himself together. He didn't know whether it was the nerves or loosing his mind.
What the hell did the doctor mean by its best you come together?
If Sonny was nervous she showed no signs of worry. She had showered, dressed and seemed perfectly fine. If anything it looked like she had a perfect glow to her.
"All the shoes in your closet Chad, really?" she asked dropping the house keys into her brown leather satchel that went with her summery yellow maternity dress.
"None that matches this shirt", he argued pulling on the collar of his striped blue and white Ralph Lauren button up.
Sonny smile shaking her head at her ridiculously sexy and childish husband having a tantrum about his missing shoes. She couldn't believe in a few weeks that he'd be someones "daddy".
"When your done being a prima donna, i'll be downstairs. If you're not ready in five minutes I will murder you", She concluded with a wink before strolling down the never ending winding staircase.
Chad huffed before walking back into his walk- in closet. 5 minutes, he mused. It'd take him five minutes to decide what fork to eat with how the hell was he suppose to complete an outfit in 5 minutes?
After a few moments of shuffling through his racks of clothes he heard an ear piercing scream from Sonny downstairs.
"CHAD!", she screeched, echoing across the Bel-Air mansion.
Chad ran toward the staircase exasperatedly. " You said five minutes that was barely-
"Chad", Sonny stood frozen her voice calm and airy. " Coop's missing!"
"What?" Chad whizzed around as if he was expecting the tiny dog to be fussing around his ankles. " I just saw him".
"He just ran out the door- I have to find him!", Sonny whimpered jogging toward the side entrance of the house. " The Donahues dog got eaten by coyotes last month", she cried over her shoulder with worry written over her face. Coop was her best friend, her first baby and she would've died if anything happend to him.
"Sonny", Chad screamed running after her worriedly, nobody in her condition should be running around 9 months pregnant. " Get back in i'll find him, you can't stress over-
Sonny was halfway through the special back yard when they heard the familiar barking of Coop from the inside of the pool house.
Chad heaved in a sigh of relief when the dog scampered by wagging his tail.
"Alright now-
"Chad", Sonny slowly turned around.
"Yeah", He asked out of breath.
"I think I just... peed my pants", Sonny spoke calmly referring to the warm liquid slithering down her legs.
Chad stared at her blankly and felt the world around him tilt, and felt himself getting light heated. Like that time when his cousin busted his knee open and blood were spurting everywhere.
"Chad... CHAD!", Sonny snapped her fingers to bring him back into space. " Don't pass out on me".
Chad snapped out of his momentary comma shaking his head to wake himself up.
"Chad, its my blatter most likely-
"Thats not pee! Your... your water just broke", Chad screamed wide- eyed his right lip twitching with nerves.
Sonny looked down at the clear water trickling down at her thighs as if seeing it for the first time and felt herself panic too. After all those parenting classes, she couldn't remember a single thing. She didn't understand she wasn't due for another few weeks. If she'd known she would've had her mother fly in days before to help her prep, or have Tawni to coach her along.
"Oh my god", she said in disbelief feeling herself hyperventilate.
"We gotta get you to the hospital!", He screamed. " Where's the baby bag?"
"Its in the trunk of the car Chad, calm down", Sonny spoke exhaled wrapping her arms around her stomach like she'd had her water broken several times before.
"Call my mom, she'll tell everyone. Where's the car keys?"
Chad dug around in his pants pocket with shaking hands before pulling out the keys.
"I'll go to the car, while you grab the bags", Sonny ordered after they had made it back inside the house.
Chad clumsily fell up the stairs tripping over his pants before successfully making it up the stairs.
Sonny walked onto the driveway and slid into the sleek S.U.V. trying to steady her breaths while waiting for Chad. After several crashing sounds he emerged looking like a crazed lunatic with his shirt halfway open and his feet shoe-less. On his broad shoulders were bright pink and yellow baby prep bags they had been told to make by their doctor's just in case.
She squinted her eyes at the sight she was seeing and tried not to double over with laughter.
Chad was a mess.
He quickly shuffled to the backseat of the car to dump the bags into their seats before gunning their car on to the road.
",Tawni'sflyingback fromNewYork and-
"Chad", Sonny breathed exhaling when she felt a sharp pain skip through her abdomen before passing over. "You forgot your shoes".
"What?" He asked confusedly before looking down at his white socks and looked up at her grinning face and couldn't help but let out the laugh bubbling in his chest.
"We're unfit parents already", Sonny joked resting her head on the cool leather interior of the car seat before groaning at the on going traffic.
Chad removed his foot off the gas and cursed himself for opting to take the expressway when traffic was moving slower than a turtle with a broken leg. He shouldn't have been shocked at the way things were turning out. Given him and Sonny's track record they never did anything the 'normal' way. So of course their child would come into the world kicking and screaming unannouced.
After a few angry cuss words and road rage later, Chad was pulling into the hospital parking lot.
He rushed to the back grabbing the bags and walked to the passenger side to help Sonny out of the car. When she stepped out, something unsettled him.
In the midst of the ambulance and EMT's were a whole mass of paparazzi crowding the parking lot screaming for the perfect photograph.
The hospital security rushed through the crowd discreetly hiding the couple until they were safely inside the hospital lobby.
"They disgust me", Sonny winced holding her sides and sighed in relief when a nurse whizzed past and scooped her up into a wheelchair.
"Shh", Her husband cooed. " Don't worry about them".
...
"Mr. and Mrs. Cooper", Dr. Kyle spoke with a warm grin holding his clipboard to his chest. " When I scheduled an appointment this is not what I expected", he attempted a joke.
Chad and Sonny stiffly laughed to be polite and squeezed each other's hands.
"All bad jokes aside, i'm glad you came in when you did. Your water did in fact break, but your barely a few centimeters dilated and while we drew some on your blood you began hemorrhaging perfusely and given your post-pregnancy conditons this is a red flag".
"What do you mean?"
"When women have babies they naturally loose blood, but when you deliver you're prone to excessive bleeding... and if you loose too much during your pregnancy I fear the worst might happen. And if you're not delivering enough oxygen the baby could also be delivered a still born", Dr. Kyle spoke honestly.
Chad bit his bottom lip and rubbed the small of Sonny's back creating a wrinkle in her blue, paper thin hospital gown.
"So there's a possibility she could die, or the baby could die?"
Dr. Kyle nodded pursing his lips. " Yes, but these are all possibilities. Its also very possible that both your wife and child live happy and healthy after the birth".
Sonny smiled as if all the bad disappeared. " Then that's all we'll focus on for now".
"We're keeping you for a the night and if the time is right you two shall be welcoming a new family member", the doctor confirmed making a swift exit after wishing the couple the best of luck.
"Sonny-
"Stop", Sonny closed her eyes already knowing what he was going to say.
"But-
"We're going to be fine, i'm not going to let a few little odds scare me away from having this child. If the odds were always right we'd gotten divorced almost a year ago", Sonny smiled and planted his big hands on the palm of her stomach when she felt the baby kick.
Chad shook his head and rubbed her stomach affectionately. " I'm scared".
"Me too", Sonny whispered against his chest as he wiggled onto the hospital bed with her.
...
"What a day, huh?" Connie Munroe grinned through her bangs and nudge her in-law Kendra Cooper. It'd taken hours but the whole Munroe-Cooper clan had crowded the hospital waiting rooms anxiously waiting the delivery.
"You're telling me", Kendra shook out her blond bob. " I need a drink".
Connie was about to respond until she saw her son-in -law emerging from the hospital room. Since the family was taking turns everyone was taking five minutes to go in a greet her before letting another family member have a chance.
"Chaddy", Kendra beamed at her son proudly. " Where on earth are your shoes?"
Chad looked down at his white socks and chuckled shaking his head. "Who knows?" he shrugged.
Connie smiled pecking Chad's cheek. " I'll go check on our girl", she spoke to no one in particular before sliding into Sonny's private room.
"Tawni hasn't made it yet?"
"No dear", his mother sounded disappointed. " She's in New York, and her flight got canceled but if I know her she'll find a way".
Chad nodded in agreement.
As if on cue, Chad's manager Jett Major pushed through the glass doors in a 2,000 dollar suit holding a champagne bottle with two cigars perched in his mouth.
Kendra rolled her eyes doing nothing to show her distaste. " I'll join Connie", she spoke before clicking away.
"Hey Golden Boy, or should I say 'Daddy'?" Jett joked punching his friend in the arm.
Chad shook his head smiling. " What's up?"
"What? You may be my client but you're my best friend too, and I wouldn't miss the birth of your kids".
Chad's smirk faded. " Kids?"
Jett lowered the cigars and pulled on Chad's elbow so they could get away from the Munroe-Cooper clan.
"You didn't know Portlyn was here- she's in labor ", Jett whispered.
It felt like a cold bucket of water splashed him in the face. How was it possible that his luck was this bad?
"Its all over the news, thats why the paps were parked out their earlier", Jett continued. " Dude, this is fucked ".
"I can't believe this", Chad groaned.
"Chad, Sonny wants you to go see Portlyn", Mrs. Monroe spoke interrupting their conversation.
"You don't remember anything from that night?" Jett wandered.
...
Flashback: Several Months ago
Chad drunkenly stumbled up the steps to Portlyn's sleek apartment complex at 2 am. When he finally reached her door he tipsily pounded on her door.
"Port!", he slurred giggling.
"PORT-LINNNNNNN", he sing-songed banging harder.
"Porty-Linnnn let me innnnnnnnn", Chad continued banging in the darkness.
Portlyn squinted in the darkness of her bedroom momentarily blinded and furrowed her eyebrows at the drunken murmurs echoing through her house.
"Port!", the voice continued. " Lemmmmme innn pwease".
"What the?" Portlyn wandered grabbing her silk robe off her bedside table angrily stomping out of her bedroom ready to attack the stupid idiot invading her beauty sleep.
When she finally snatched the door open she was pleasantly surprised to see Chad Dylan Cooper of all people fumble to the floor.
"Chad?" Portlyn snapped. " What the hell are you doing here?" she gripped her doorknob making no effort to cover up her fire red bra and panties underneath her thin robe.
They'd been broken up for almost a year, and he'd married that stupid twit Sonny. The last time they talked was at an after party, they were both angry and drunk. To say that the altercation was rough was an understatement.
"I lubb you", Chad slurred.
Portlyn rolled her eyes and kneeled down to help him stand on his feet. " You're drunk".
"You're hot", Chad hissed pointing a finger in her face teetering back and forth. " I wanna kiss you".
Drunk or not, Chad's comment sent sent butterflies shooting up through her stomach.
Portlyn draped her arm around his waist allowing him to lean his full body weight on her petite frame. The Chad she knew always came in drunk out his mind, so taking care of him was nothing new.
"Come in before someone calls the cops", she said sternly helping him inside.
"Here", she pushed him onto the couch. " Sleep on the couch, i'm sure Sonny will be calling you soon".
Chad scoffed on his back. " Forget Sonny, we're getting a divorce".
"A what?" Portlyn asked suprised.
"Divorce!, Chad laughed. " D-I-V- you know the rest".
Portlyn shook her head and moved toward his shoes where she began to gingerly slip them off. Once they were off she moved to help him out of his jacket but stopped when she felt the urge to press her lips against his.
She cradled herself beside him and gently pressed her mouth to his.
"Prove you still want me".
...
