Will sat on the bench with his arm around Sonny's shoulders. They sat quietly next to each other. Will loved how they didn't words, that they could just be in the same space and not feel the need to add noise to the world. Arianna, who lay sleeping in her stroller, had added enough noise today. She finally fell asleep after Will and Sonny took her out in her stroller and walked what seemed like all of Salem.
Ari loved the bumpy parts of the walk. Who knew that bumping and bouncing around would make their little girl happy? Whatever worked, they were willing to do it.
As everyone said, this time when she's small and helpless doesn't last. Time flies by so fast that you'll miss it when she's 16 and is a grumpy hormonal teenager. Will couldn't imagine that just yet. Right now Ari was a precious baby, with tiny toes and fingers. She was perfect. Even her cries were perfect. "Geez, Sonny was right, I really am I goner." he thought to himself.
The feeling of Sonny rubbing his hand along the top of Will's thigh pulled him back from his thoughts of the future to the present. He turned to look at his boyfriend with the dark brown eyes and gentle smile. Speaking of being a goner, Will was so in love with Sonny that he couldn't see a life without him.
"You know, we could go home. We should try to get some sleep before she wakes up again." Sonny suggested.
"Yeah, we should." Will didn't move. He only continued to stare at Sonny.
Will touched his head to Sonny's and gently played with his ear between his thumb and index finger. They curled in closer to each other and turned to look at the sunset. They watched the light escape from the sky as the clouds turned a beautiful pink hue.
A deep sigh came from Will. He was truly content. How did he get so lucky?
