Mmm. I love this story, it's the one I really enjoy writing. I could write maybe 3 chapters a day, but of course I'm busy like heck. Thank you all for reviewing and favorite-ing.
*Sigh* you all know I want to own SOMETHING! But of course, I own absolutely nothing at all.

I continued listening to Tawni giving me her full advice on this situation.
"How do you know that for sure?" I asked.
"Because, MY family kinda went through the same situation. My dad left us when I was younger and I found out my sister wasn't my dad's and I freaked out. Me and her never talked again since she ran away.." Tawni sighed going back into her flashback childhood.
I frowned, "How is that going to make me feel better?"
"My family didn't have a support base like you have. Sonny you have me, your mom and your family. And now your including Chad into your life."
I nodded, maybe getting Bridget tested wasn't a bad idea. I didn't want my girls to hate each other, I raised them to forgive and forget, not argue and leave.
"So?" Tawni said, breaking my train of thoughts.
"I'll think about it?" I said more like a question then just stating.
"Fine, just be careful.." She pleaded.
"Kay, well bye" I said hanging up, before Tawni could say anything else.
I plopped down on the couch, confused, and lonely. Bridget came in and sat next to me.
She kept looking down, without saying anything. Swaying her feet back and forth, I wasn't the only one who had something on their mind..
"What's wrong sweetheart?" I asked lifting her face up to meet her face.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bad kid. I started the food fight I made you panic and Chad not like you." Bridget frowned wiping her tears off.
Chad like me? Is that what she thinks? Man, she knows a lot. Poor baby..
"You shouldn't be sorry" I said lightly laughing to brighten up her mood. "I'm sure Chad forgives our Munroe-ly behavior"
She nodded and stood up.
"Okay if you say so.. Goodnight" She hugged me and walked into her room.
I sighed, maybe meeting Chad a couple of days ago wasn't worth the grief. If Chad WAS her father, would he stay with her and begin a life with her? Will he leave and we will never talk again, loosing another man in our life? Would he fall in love with me? Wait what? Scratch that thought, we are talking about Bridget not you Sonny… I started banging my head on my pillow, frustrated. After a few moments of that I moaned and growled into the pillow. I laid on my back, with many thoughts flowing through my head. It was around 12:30 when I decided, that I needed to get some answers and get them right away…
I woke up with an enormous headache, still on the couch. It was still pretty early, and I don't think I could go this early. I went to go take a long breath taking shower to get some of my problems to go away, and got dressed. Bridget and Sarah were still asleep, I could go take them to Tawni and then get genetic samples. I picked up Sarah first and put her in her car seat, Tawni could dress her up for me.. I woke up Bridget and she went and sat in the car.
"Where are we going?" She mumbled, her eyes half open and half closed.
"Its where you two are going, your going over Tawni's for a while so I can… do some errands" I concluded.
"Mmm"
It was a quiet 15 minute drive to Tawni's lovely white house. She wasn't married but she had a boyfriend that came over occasionally. I slid out my little van and carried Sarah to the door with Bridget close behind. I rang the door bell, and waited a few minutes for an answer. Tawni opened the gigantic double doors that led into her home.
"Sonny?" She asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Can you please, keep the kids while I.. You know?"
She nodded and scooted out the way so I could get in.
"What made you change your mind?" She asked whispering into my ear.
I shrugged, and sat Sarah down on the couch. Bridget stopped and fell on the floor snoring.
"Yup, that's a Chad" Tawni said joking.
"Its 5:50, I'll be back around 9?" I said.
She grinned. "Just go" She said pushing me out the door.
I walked out her house and into my car. I pulled away.
"Here we go.." I mumbled, barely hearable.
30 minutes later I entered the doctors office, I walked up to the lady at the counter.
"Hello" She greeted happily.
I smiled. "Good morning" I say as I signed my name under the sheet.
There were about five women in here as scared as I was. One family of five sat in a corner weeping sadly. The woman looked a nervous wreck, her hair was out of place she had baby barf on her sweater.. Man, I'm hoping I don't end up like that.
A man with a clipboard came through the door, holding it for a young woman who was bawling her eyes out, blowing her nose every few seconds. I shuttered and started rocking in my seat.
"Sonny Munroe" The same man said about 5 minutes later.
I walked up to him and followed him into a little dark room.
"Dr. Richards will be with you in a few" He said.
Dr. Richards, was my doctor for my girls. He was so gentle and sweet. He even delivered both of them. When Sarah was born, I refused to let another doctor deliver her so they went and got him for me. Stubborn, my mother says..
Dr. Richards walked in with a clipboard in his hand.
"What seems to be the problem today Mrs. Munroe?"
I explained my brief, but long shot story. He wrote down a few things and cleared his throat.
"Since Mr. Cooper was born here himself.." He started. "It will be much easier to see if he is the father."
I nodded. He left the room, and I let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Please don't be long.. Let this be over with.." I pleaded softly.
I waited for a long time and he finally came back with a sheet of paper, no clipboard, no needles, no nothing just a sheet. This was a lot different than I thought it would be, in the movies they have to take blood and strands of skin or hair..
"Sonny Munroe" He started off, fixing his glasses. "Here you are, I'll give you a moment to review" He said sitting in his chair.
I took the paper, my hands shaking. With my eyes closed and a huge lump in my throat, I started to read it, the paper with all my answers [Well some] on there.
As soon as I saw Chad's name instead of Joseph's I started wailing. I dropped the paper, and covered my face while I cried. This could not be true.. Chad IS her father. CHAD IS HER DAD! I was bawling, my heart aching. Tawny was right, Chad's her dad. WHY didn't I see this? Her blond locks, her cockiness, her blue eyes… She was Chad's.
Dr. Richards cleared his throat once more, "I'm sorry, we found no genes from.. Joseph Moore. They all came directly from Chad and you."
I stopped crying, my eyes out of tears to let go. I breathed in and out quickly every beat my heart made. He gave me a box of tissues and I blew my nose.
"There must be a mistake, right?" I said with my stuffy nose.
He shook his head no.
I looked down at the paper that I dropped on the floor, the one with my misery written all over. I could barely read the rest, with my eyes blurry with tears.
"NO!" I croaked. Shaking my head, I screamed.
"Mrs. Munroe, do you need a moment?"
I shook my head no and stood up, forcing my tears to stay in, I grabbed the box of tissues and held a tight grip on the paper. I walked out trying to feel fierce and happy, but nothing could hide the shame I was holding. The paper made my hand feel numb and hot, I stuffed it into my purse and walked out.

Sarah was still sleeping and Bridget was wide awake gnawing on French toast that I gave her.
"Why does it take so long to do errands?" She asked with her mouth full.
"We are grown ups and women, for all I know she's probably shopping her butt off." I said lying, but she was buying it.
"You know, your French toast isn't as good as my mommy's.."
Okay, that offended me. So what I cant cook as well at least its edible.
"So? I can kill a casserole" I said, tautly.
"Why would you kill it?" She asked, raising her eyebrow at me.
"Not like that, like I can really make a good one."
Sarah walked in, holding her stuffed animal and rubbing her eyes.
"Morning Mommy" She mumbled. She walked towards the right, when my kitchen was located left. She walked into a wall and fell.
Bridget started laughing loudly, which awoke Sarah.
"Where AM I!" She cried.
"Shh" I said softly. "You're at auntie Tawni's" I said.
She looked confused and sat under the table.
My door bell rung and I opened it and there was Sonny. Looking tired as ever, her eyes red and puffy.
I smile lightly, "You wanna talk?"
She ran up to my stairs, crying.
I go and catch up to her and she was in my room crying.
"Tell me…"
All she did was threw a sheet of paper at me. I looked over it and gasped, sure I wasn't surprised but still.
"Why me?" She said through breaths.
"Its not that bad, remember when you were 16? You loved Chad, fell completely in love with him.. Why is this so bad?" I ask.
"Because!" She screamed. "I made a mistake! And it leads to this! I don't even know if he wants to be a father!" She continued screaming at me straining her melodic voice.
"When are you going to tell him?"
"I don't even know, how am I going to tell Bridget?" She wailed.
Awwh, Poor Sonny, this is bad.. But Still I would appreciate if you reviewed! I wanted to make this longer but I want to update today.. So yup that's it for now!
