Chapter 1

''Good girl Ari, eating all her dinner again''Will exclaimed as he praised his daughter whilst he wiped the leftover baby food off her face. Ari had started to like the new baby food that Will had brought her last week.

''Should we tell papa Sonny that Ari eat all her dinner?'' Will asked Ari as he saw Sonny walk into the living room. Ari screamed and gurgled at the thought of getting praise from Sonny, she loved him as much as she loved Will.

''Did you hear that Sonny? Ari ate all her food again''

''No way!''Sonny joked as he lifted Ari from her high chair and sat her in his arms.

''Yes way, she's been amazing all week'' Will answered as he sat next down to Sonny and Ari on the couch.

''Good girl Arianna-Grace, wait till we tell Mommy!''

Will loved spending time with Sonny and Ari, they were a perfect family. Of course Gabi also lived with them, and she was Ari's mother, but she was out for most of the time leaving them with the baby. Sonny and Will thought it was a good thing, as they both loved Arianna-grace to pieces.

Later that day, Ari sat on Sonny's lap watching a movie, whilst Will sat next to them. There was nothing better in Will's opinion of watching Sonny with Ari, it was a beautiful sight.

''Mamamamamama'' ''Dadadadadada''Ari screamed out as the chewed on her teething toy.

''Are you saying Momma and Dada baby girl?'' Will asked.

Ari started to gurgle at Will, which in baby talk meant ''Yes''.

With Arianna saying Momma and Dada, it brought Sonny to ask if she was saying his name yet. He couldn't wait for the day Ari said his name. It would be amazing, and he hoped it would be soon.

''Any luck with her saying Sonny yet?''

''No''Will sighed. ''I've been trying for weeks now and still nothing''He said disappointedly.

The truth was, Will wanted Ari to say Sonny just as much as Sonny did himself. Sonny was Will's boyfriend, and he couldn't wait for Arianna and Sonny's relationship to grow. But Ari's only words so far were Mamma and Dada.

''Yeah, I've been trying to teach her too''Sonny confessed.

''You have?''

''That's mine and Arianna's personal business, Isn't it Ari?'' Sonny said as he winked at a very sleepy Arianna below him. Even though she was tired, she still gave Sonny a smile.

As the movie ended, Ari's eyes started to flutter as she went to sleep, still resting on Sonny's lap.

''I think it's someone's bedtime''Sonny whispered as he slowly turned Arianna around and picked her up. Her eyes fluttered open again when Sonny stood up, but not long after they fluttered back again, and her head flopped onto his shoulder.

''You two look to adorable''Will said. He couldn't help but admire the sight of his daughter and his boyfriend together.

When he and Sonny got back together earlier that year, Will couldn't wait to see Sonny holding Ari, and now, he was seeing exactly that.

''I'm going to put her down for the night, are you coming to bed?''Sonny asked.

''Not just yet I have to wait for Gabi to get back''

''Sorry, I forgot''Sonny laughed.

He thought it was funny the fact that he'd forgot about Gabi. Even though he and Gabi had sorted things out, He, Will and Arianna-Grace made such a perfect family.

''Ok I'll be right back, I love you''Sonny said.

''I love you too''Will smiled as he stood up and kissed Sonny.

Just when Will was in a daydream, his phone rang. It was Gabi.

''Hey Gabi what's up?''

''Hey Will, I know I'm leaving this pretty late, and you probably hate me for this, but would it be o.k. if you and Sonny had Ari for the night, I'm staying with a friend.

A friend?.. Gabi doesn't have any close friends in Salem. He thought….

''Gabi, I could never hate you, of course we'll have her, she's my daughter''

''Thanks Will, I know I haven't been the best mom lately, Will thank you so much, you and Sonny are life savers''

'' Don't be stupid, it's no problem Gabi''

''Ok I gotta go, but thanks again Will, bye''

''Bye''

Will put the phone down, baffled about who Gabi was talking about. ''A friend''. Then Sonny walked in.

''The baby's down, was that Gabi on the phone?''

''Yes actually it was, she asked us to have Ari for the night, she's staying with a friend.. Weird huh?''

''A friend?''Sonny said looking confused.

Yeah, I'm just as baffled as you are''Will said.

They both sat there in silence trying to think about who this ''Mystery friend'' Gabi was staying with. Will thought it would be too rude to ask her, so they just had to figure it out themselves. The only person Gabi was kind of close with was Abigail, but no way would she stay over. Then, Sonny spoke.

''Hey, you don't think its Nick do you? I mean, they have been talking more recently''

''In fact I saw them talking at the coffee house this morning'' Will said.

'' Well, even if it is Nick.. we have nothing to worry about because Gabi is smart enough not to do something stupid''Said Sonny.

Nick had caused too much grief for Will and his family. And for Will to risk his live saving them both, he was a hero. Will also had hoped that Gabi wouldn't give in and go back to him, but if their suspicions were right, he didn't want Nick in Ari's live.

''Yeah.. I hope so…''
