A/N: Thank you all for the reviews, and i'm sorry for all the errors but im not gonna lie it was a rushed job. Hopefully this one is better? ;)
"What the hell are you doing here?" Portlyn greeted Chad, lifting herself up on her elbows and subconsciously smoothed down her dark hair. She looked exhausted in the pale hospital gown and florescent light. Her eyes looked heavy and her face looked swollen but she still looked beautiful despite having a child less than a few hours ago.
Chad exhaled closing the door behind him. He'd inquired the same question from her mother, and countless of her friends outside before they finally agreed to let him inside.
"Calm down will ya?" He asked pulling a chair closer to her side of the bed.
Portlyn looked uncomfortable and looked down at the purple hospital band on her wrist. Having her child had really changed her perspective on things, she didn't have hate or spite in her heart for Sonny or Chad. For once in her life, Portlyn was genuinely happy for someone else.
"Are you okay?" Chad asked already prepared to go run and find a nurse, anything to avoid this awkward meeting they were having.
"I'm fine", Portlyn spoke. " Continue", she instructed him.
"You sure?"
"I just had a baby you idiot", She smiled shaking her head. " Other than that, i'm amazing".
Chad nodded and awkwardly fussed with his hair observing the hospital room filled with baby gifts, flowers, and congratulations. Although him and Portlyn hated each other, he knew she'd be a good mother. Having a kid was probably best for her, because before she found out she was pregnant she spent her days partying, hooking up with random celebs, and going in and out of rehab for her countless D.U.I.'s.
"The baby... its a boy?" Chad asked noticing the blue teddy bears, and 'ITS A BOY' balloons.
"Mhhm", Portlyn nodded and couldn't help the grin spreading across her face proudly as she spoke about her son. " 7 pounds, 8 ounces".
Chad heaved in a breath of air and folded his hands behind his head. " Oh my god", he exhaled exhaustedly and began rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
"What's his name?"
"Parker", Portlyn nodded her head up and down cautiously. " Chad... are you okay?" She wandered, noticing the pale green complexion he had begun to turn.
Regardless of how rocky their relationship had been through her pregnancy, if Elliot really was his he would be more than glad to take care of him. It'd be tough at first to tell Sonny, and everyone else but he'd be excited nonetheless that his first born was a boy.
"Port... is he mine?" Chad asked batted his watery blue eyes at Portlyn's green ones waiting to hear his fate once and for all.
Portlyn hooked a dark strand of hair behind her ear and sighed folding her hands on top of her almost deflated stomach. " What do you remember about that night?"
Flashback
" I want you", Portlyn moaned straddling herself on top of Chad. They had moved from her living room and were now wiggling around her king-size bed trying to slither out of each other's close without coming up for air.
She reached for the hem of his white t-shirt and helped him shrug it over his shoulders before discarding it across the room.
"Mmm", Chad murmured moving his lips to her neck in the darkness while he groped around her body blindly trying to find the snaps to her bra. His hands were fumbling everywhere until she firmly planted them on her sides while she helped him shrug out of his jeans.
The heat from their kissing fogged the glass windows in her room and instantly brought the degrees up a few notches.
If Chad wasn't so drunk she would've been half naked by now, Portlyn noted but decided she'd take what she could get.
" Well yeah", Portlyn interrupted Chad's walk down memory lane. " Of course you would remember that part", she spoke matter of factly and rolled her eyes.
Chad scooted closer to the bed ignoring her jab at his ego. " What I wasn't good?"
"You were drunk Chad", Portlyn continued. " Really drunk, Charlie Sheen drunk".
"Oh", Chad winced. " That bad?"
"Uh yeah", Portlyn didn't bother sparing his ego. " It was a miracle-
A knock appeared on the door followed by a kind looking nurse holding a baby swaddled in a power blue blanket. She was a red head that looked to be in her forty's with a kind smile that showed she'd been through this several times with first time parents. " Well hello mommy", she spoke in her southern drawl.
Portlyn adjusted in the hospital bed and smiled warmly down at her bundle of joy and held her arms out.
"Is he the father? Handsome man", the nurse commented while gently placing the baby in Portlyn's arms before leaving the three to be alone.
Portlyn cupped the sleeping baby in her arms and watched as he slept peacefully inhaling rhythmically. He was adorable, Chad noted but kept his distance in fear of getting too attached before he knew the truth.
"Am I the father?" Chad asked hollowly and felt his chest constrict.
Portlyn tore her olive green eyes away from the baby and slowly looked up at Chad.
" We were both a little tipsy i'd been drinking earlier because my boyfriend at the time had broken up with me. Elliot Danriglely?"
Chad nodded signaling that he knew who she was taking about. Everyone knew Elliot, he was British royalty that spent summers in L.A. partying with all the stars. They weren't exactly best friends but they sometimes flocked in the same social circles.
"And then", Portlyn teared up. " You came like a night and shining armor", she smiled weakly.
Chad nodded his head urging her to continue.
"I still loved Elliot, but I wanted to get back at him by sleeping with you", Portlyn swallowed slowly. " I felt weird already, so the next day I took a pregnancy test and it turned out positive so I went to the doctor makes sure. I knew you weren't the father it'd bee impossible, but I wanted it to be yours so I lied. I'm so, so sorry Chad can you ever forgive?" Portlyn confessed as a fresh batch of tears streamed down her puffy face.
Chad sat in awe. He felt angry, hurt, happy, cheated,confused, amazed, and anxious all at the same time before it hit him. HE WASN'T THE FATHER.
" So, theres no way Elliot is mine?"
Portlyn bit her bottom lip teary eyed and shook her head. " I'm sorry".
Chad stood and waved his hand dismissively. " Don't be its all in the past. He's adorable by the way- Elliot's a lucky guy", He spoke nobly and gently pecked the baby's sleeping forehead.
"So are you, tell Sonny sorry for me?"
He nodded in agreement. " And if you need anything, I meant it just call us", Chad offered and truly meant it. He never hated Portlyn, in fact she'd been his only ally for awhile he just disliked her actions. But now, after having the baby and all she reminded him of the old Portlyn he used to know and love.
"Thanks", Portlyn smiled genuinely touched and began smoothening down the baby wispy brown strands.
Just when Chad was halfway to the door it instinctively opened and out appeared a tall blond, that strangely resembled Chad. For a moment they stood in the door way staring at each other before Chad extended his hand in a truce.
"Congratulation man", He shook Elliot's hand.
Elliot looked frazzled with the balloons and gift basket. Chad smirked, recognizing the look on his face. " Thanks", Elliot's voice sounded shaky as he staggered deeper inside the room.
Portlyn looked surprised but smiled anyway extending her arms out. " Meet your son, Elliot Junior".
Chad turned and smiled when Elliot dropped the gifts in awe of his son and smiled proudly at his new pride and joy. " Thank you", Chad heard him whisper before he kissed Portlyn on the cheek dissolving all the drama they had before.
...
After the all the drama of the baby had died down around 8 pm, the Munroe-Cooper clan had retired to the Cooper mansion in preparation for the next morning when Sonny was finally scheduled to have the baby.
The only person left was Chad, and he was thankful to actually see his wife without having to wait in line. But the moment he opened the door he sighed when he realized she was sound asleep on her side. Her honey brown tresses were pooled across the pillow and her arms was protectively slung across her round stomach.
Chad tiptoed inside sitting the glass vase of roses he'd planned to surprise her with on one of the empty dresser.
"Chad go home, you've been here all day", Her voice sounded wide-awake.
He smiled shaking his head. " How'd you know I wasn't a murderer?"
Sonny chuckled turning from her side to face her husband. " Murders don't walk around with 800 dollars loafers, or Calvin Klein cologne".
Chad pressed his back against the door and stared longingly at his beautiful wife and couldn't help but think how well things had turned out in the end, for everybody.
"You just had to be a smart ass", he teased playfully.
"Mhm", Sonny answered him sitting up even though the pain in the back was killing her. " Did Portlyn have the baby?" she asked, turning completely serious.
"Yeah".
Sonny felt her heart strings pluck. " And?"
"He's beautiful", Chad squinted his eyes walking closer to Sonny to hold her hand.
Oh my god, he's the father. " That's okay", Sonny tried to sound up-beat but ended up sounding like a wounded puppy. " The more the merrier right, and you'll get joint custody and-
"He's not mine", Chad smiled gladly when her shoulders instantly relaxed.
"Oh thank god", Sonny let out of breath of air rolling her brown eyes to the top of her head. " I almost had a heart attack there", she admitted. Although she'd tried to convince herself that everything would be fine if Portlyn's baby was Chad's but deep down she was terrified.
Chad laughed and kissed her lips. " Glad to know you're so supportive though".
"I got your back bro", Sonny joked holding out her pinky finger for Chad to interlock with his.
"Excuse me sir", A burly nurse interrupted tapping on the door. " Visiting hours are over".
" I know", Chad agreed. " I'm sorry i'll only be a second longer".
"Mhmm", the nurse rolled her eyes.
Sonny smiled placing her hands on top of her stomach. " You better go".
"Mwah!", Chad exaggerated as he pecked the top of Sonny's forehead. " The next time i'll see you we'll be parents".
"Nervous?"
" Not after all this time, I think the whole world is ready for this baby", Chad kissed her lips once more before stalking behind the nurse making funny faces behind her back to make Sonny laugh before they were out of sight.
Sonny sighed contently and held her stomach when she felt the familiar kick. A nervousness fell over her at what the doctor had said earlier but she shrugged it off. Tommorow morning she'd be a mother and that was that.
...
Morning came, and nothing. Not timed contractions, nor irritableness or back pain. It wasn't planned, but it wasn't out of the ordinary either according to either. To say she was disappointed was an understatement, and Tawni still hadn't made it yet.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Dr. Kyle asked scribbling on his clipboard.
"No", Sonny shrugged confusedly. " I feel fine actually".
"This baby sure knows how to keep everyone on their toes, huh?" The doctor asked earning a few chuckles from across the room. " Right now it looks as if nothing will happen until later tonight. False alarm".
The room ruptured in a chorus of 'awwwwws' mainly from Chad, and Gina.
"Keep liquids in your system and if you feel the slightest kick let me know, okay?" Dr. Kyle concluded before hustling out the room to do the rest of his rounds in Cedar- Sinai.
"Well my grandchild is well worth the wait", Connie perched on the bed with Sonny and rubbed her stomach in circles. Her hair was frazzled and she was in pajama's like everyone else but she didn't seem to mind.
"No mami", Sonny disagreed. " I want you guys to go home and get some rest because this baby isn't coming anytime soon".
"You sure?" Kendra asked from across the room applying her M-A-C makeup.
"Yes, i'll call you if anything happens", Sonny assured everyone before they reluctantly left her and Chad alone.
"How you feeling?" Chad asked once everyone was gone, and began gently brushing her hair back and forth.
"Hungry", Sonny admitted with a sheepish grin. " Can you...?"
Chad lifted the stiff breakfast the nurse had brought in for her. " Eat, its good for you".
Sonny made a sour face. " Its disgusting, please?" she pouted her lips and held her hands in a prayer.
"Fine", Chad exhaled in defeat, if he couldn't say no to Sonny how was he going to say no to his daughter? " Anything specific?"
Sonny shook her head no and watched until Chad was out of sight. Once he was gone she realized how truly quiet the room was, besides the beating of the heart monitor and the humming of the medical equitment the room was eerily quiet, and cold.
She peeled the thin sheets off of her and dropped her feet to the cold tiled floors. She could've called the nurse in, but given how crabby she'd been lately it would've taken her an hour to come in and close the window.
Her muscles tingled at the movement, since her stay at the hospital she hadn't lifted a finger. She shook the feeling off and continued toward the window feeling more and more faint. Once she reached the cracked window she lifted her arms giving it a few thrusts until it was finally shut closed. In an instant she felt pain shoot up through her spine and nearly cripple her down to the toes until she lost footing falling on her side.
For a moment she lost consciousness until she felt warm liquid seeping down from the middle of her thighs. Panicked she moved her hand down to the wetness and screamed out in pain when she realized it was blood.
"Help!", she screamed trying to stagger up enough energy to stand on her own two feet as tears sprang from her eyes.
Immediately a nurse rushed in the room and helped her into the bed quickly pressing the S.O.S. button to alert the hospital when she saw heavy Sonny had been bleeding.
Chad was halfway down the hall when he saw the flashing blue lights, followed by the dozens of nurses and doctors flooding into Sonny's room in a hurry. He instinctively followed and felt queasy at what he was seeing. Sonny was was squirming around in a blood soaked gown while nurses sedated her and put a breathing mask on her face.
He didn't understand what had happened, when he left her she was perfectly fine.
"What's going on?" Chad yelled over the commotion. " That's my wife".
"Sir", someone spoke up pulling their blue mask down. " Your wife took a nasty fall along with her contractions i'd say this baby is coming, we're taking her to the ICU", he spoke before wheeling her off.
Chad followed the moving bed and held her hand while she cried out in angst.
"The baby", Sonny moaned in pain as hot tears rolled down her eyes. " What about the baby?"
Before she could hear his response it all went black.
...
The familiar sound of heels quickly skidded though the hospital halls sounding like gunshots. Tawni's blonde hair was swishing behind her like a golden cape the faster she paced through the hospital. She'd just made it off the plane when she heard the baby was coming.
"My friend is having a baby", She exclaimed at the first receptionist she saw out of breath.
The receptionist looked up and had to do a double take. In less than two hours the place had flocked with dozens of celebrities first it was Portlyn and Elliot, then came Sonny and Chad, then there was James who had arrived an hour before Tawni.
"Tawni Hart?"
"Yes", Tawni swallowed out of breath. " My best friends Alison Munroe is having a baby, what floor is she on?"
The receptionist typed away on the computer until she finally found the room. " Munroe-Cooper is in... room 233".
"Thanks", Tawni called already running down the hall in her 5- inch pumps leaving no time to wait. When she was halfway there she bumped into James who was holding a Styrofoam cup filled with coffee looking tired.
" James, where is everyone?" she asked alarmed.
He tilted his head toward the waiting room. " Its bad T...".
Sonny's excited face fell flat. " What do you mean?"
" Somethings going on with Sonny's breathing, and she's bleeding a lot. The only person allowed inside is Chad".
"Is she going to be okay?" Tawni whispered feeling her heart sink into her chest. When she came to the hospital she expected everyone to be full on spirit and excitement over the baby. Now there was an angry dread building up in the room as they waited to hear the fate of Sonny and the baby.
"That's not it, the baby hasn't kicked since the fall and the doctors think the maybe might be... still born".
With that, Tawni fell into James's chest bawling. She couldn't believe how horrible everything had turned out to be.
...
"Almost there Sonny work with me. Push", Dr. Kyle urged in the room room full of nurses.
Sweat dotted Sonny's upper lip while she tried with all her might to push harder while Chad squeezed her hand. It felt like a fire ball was tearing her skin down there and everytime she pushed she felt like quitting. She'd seen the videos of women screaming out in pain during childbirth but nothing ever hurt this bad.
" Come on baby", Chad encouraged ignoring the stinging grip she had on his hand. "You can do it, push".
"I can't !", Sonny whimpered dropping her head down on the pillow trying to steady her breaths.
" She's ready for you" Chad spoke knowing it would get Sonny her adrenaline back.
"You're crowning, I see a beautiful head of hair", Dr. Kyle spoke excitedly.
"Ahhh!", Sonny squinted her eyes clenching on to Chad's arm while she pushed one last time while the sound of a healthy baby cry pierced through the otherwise quiet hospital room.
Sonny exhaled exhaustedly feeling tears run down her redden cheeks as the baby wailed louder and louder with each cry while the nurses cleaned her off.
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Cooper you're the parents of a new baby girl. 6 pounds, 3 ounces", Dr. Kyle spoke proudly snapping the mask off his face. After all his doubts everything had turned out for the best.
"Oh my god", Chad sniffed crying at his child staring back at him when the nurse planted the wailing baby in his arms she instantly stopped and stared at the man looking back at her. He gently caressed the pink blanket and wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt while he handed her off into Sonny who was waiting with opened arms.
"Dylan", Sonny beamed cradling the infant in her arms. " Like her dad", she smiled faintly feeling a wooziness fall over her again while Chad absently kissed the top of the baby's soft head.
Sharper pains pierced through her sides and she felt her breathing slow down.
"Sonny?" she heard Chad ask in a murmur filled with other noises appearing in the room before her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her body went numb while uncontrollable gobs of blood seep through the sheets surrounded her.
"CODE BLUE!", Dr. Kyle yelled as Chad lifted the baby from Sonny's limp form. Nurses flocked toward her and began pumping her trying to resuscitate her in a nervous frenzy.
"Is she going to be okay!", Chad screamed feeling his whole world shatter into a million pieces.
"We don't know yet, sir back up".
