Molly was thrown out of her bed around 2 in the morning when she swore that she heard her phone ringing. Stumbling out of her room and into the living room, she picked up.
"Hello?" Molly answered, the only thing on the other end was sobbing.
"Gr…Granny."
"Chad? Is that you? What's wrong?"
"She…She…They don't know what's wrong with her."
"Who? Chad what's going on?" Molly said, freaking.
"I got a call from Sonny's mom tonight saying that she was in the hospital, and I just got here and she has all the tubes down her throat and they told me they don't know what's wrong with her." Chad said, and Molly could hear him crying again.
"Chad. Do you want me to go down there with you? I can if you want me too." Molly said.
"No, I just don't know what to tell her mother. She is clear in Wisconsin and wants me to keep her up to date about her daughter. And it is starting to freak me out a bit." Chad said, Molly could tell that he was starting to calm down a bit.
"Chad, Calm down. Just tell her what the doctor's told you. But just don't get worked up about it or your going to freak her out. You think you can do that?"
"Yeah, Thanks gran." Chad said, hanging up the phone.
"Do you think that she is going to say yes?" 19 year old, Chad said for the third time that night.
"Chad, for the last time. I said, I think she would." Molly said, looking over at her grandson. It was hard to believe that he was grown and was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him tonight.
"But I don't even have a ring? And what if she thinks that we are too young to do this? What if she…" Molly cut him off.
"Chad, your grandfather and I got married at 17 years old and were married over fifty years. And if you don't want to ask her with out a ring then." Molly said, slipping off her own engagement ring and handed it to Chad.
"Gran, I can't take that from you." Chad said, looking at the ring. Molly placed it in his hands.
"Take it. I'm not getting any use out of it anyway. It was suppose to go to your father when he got married, but he didn't want it. So, at least you will get some use out of it." Molly said, closing Chad's hand over the ring.
"Gran. This has to be the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me." Chad said, pulling her in for a hug.
"Anything, for you Dylie." Molly said, hugging him back.
"Well, granny. How do I look?" Chad said, entering her bedroom in his tux. In a matter of just a few hours he would be married to the one and only Alison Munroe.
"Chad, you look dashing. Here. Consider this an early wedding present." Molly said, handing him a book.
"What is this?" Chad said, flipping it open seeing pictures of himself while he was growing up.
"It's a scrap book of all of our adventures together and a few that I wasn't in." Molly said, showing him some pics of him and Sonny together.
"I remember this." Chad said, showing a picture of Sonny, Molly and him all together right after Sonny hospital stay.
"That is around the time that I knew that Sonny was a lot different from all of those other girls that you had dated." "How could you tell?" "For one thing. You stayed with her all 13 days while she was sick and even stayed with her at her apartment for what was it 3 months after. I could see you doing that for any of the other girls. And look at you know. Getting married. So, I guess an I told you so is in order."
Chad looked at her. "What do you mean?"
"I remember you telling me the day you and Sonny met that you didn't like her. So, I told you so." Molly said, smirking at him.
"Thanks Granny. You know me all to well. Now come on. I don't want to be late for my own wedding." Chad said, offering his arm to her.
Chad dialed his grandmother room phone as quickly as he could. "Hello?"
"Granny! She's pregnant!" Chad said, trying to keep his excitement under control.
"Chad, that's really great!" Molly said.
"I know. After a year of trying we are finally going have a baby of our own." Chad said, and Molly could hear shuffling around on his end.
"Chad, are you dancing?" Molly said, knowing what her grandson did when he was overly excited.
"No." Chad said, and the noise suddenly died out.
"Chad!"
Fine, I was. But I am just so happy." Chad said, letting out a squeal. Molly could tell that he was happy. She was happy for him.
"I wish that I could be there with you." Molly said. She had fallen three times in the last two months and decided to put herself in a nursing home.
"I know you do. But at least you will still be able to see he or she grows up." Chad said.
"That's true." Molly said, hearing what the doctors told her the day before in her head. That she only had months left.
Six months later Chad and Sonny both rushed down to the local hospital after getting a call from there.
"We're looking for Molly Cooper." Chad said, and the nurse at the desk pointed down the hall.
"How is she doctor?" Chad said when they got down to Molly's door.
"Not good. She's going quickly. I think she was waiting on you."
"I'll stay out here." seven month pregnant Sonny said.
Chad entered her room and it instantly reminded him of when he first saw Sonny.
"Dylie." A voice rasped for the room.
"Granny." Chad said, rushing to the side of her bed.
"Chad, I think that my time here is up."
"No, don't say that. You can fight. You can fight to live and to be with me. I can't do this all alone. I can't be a parent without you." Chad said, he could feel tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Chad, yes you can do this. You are different from your parents. You won't be alone, you will have Sonny. You guys can do this all on your on. You got to let me go."
"No, you can't leave me." Chad said, sobbing.
"You're going to be okay." Molly said, pulling Chad into her chest.
"I love you grandma." Chad said.
"I love you, too Chad Dylan Cooper." Molly said. Chad could feel her breathing getting slow and heart the heart monitor flat line.
Chad sobbed into his grandmother's chest until he heard a voice at the door. "Chad?"
"She's gone." Chad said, wiping the tears of his cheeks.
"I know." Sonny said, pulling Chad into a hug.
"Hey there Molly. Do you want to hear about the best grandmother in the world?" Chad asked his, 12 hour old baby girl.
