Summary: Sonny comes home wanting to save his marriage but sees the way that Will has lost control. He sits his husband down and tells him how to save their marriage. Will realizes to save his marriage he has to let go of any story he wants to write about Paul or his mother. Will this be enough to save them?

Note: This is what I wish would happen. I think Will has lost sight of the fact that saving their marriage needs work from both of them and no story about Paul being a possible DiMera (though I really think he is John Black's son) is worth losing his husband. Lucas said it when he told his son that he needs to focus on his marriage not some article.

Sonny watched Lucas leave and wondered how this conversation was going to go or if they would even be able to finish it. It seemed like every time they tried to talk something interrupted them. He had been angry at hearing that Will would think of this whole situation as a competition instead of them trying to save their marriage. It was like he didn't get it and he couldn't understand why.

"I'm guessing your trying to write another big article about Paul," Sonny guessed looking into blue eyes and seeing a crazed and desperate look.

"It could change everything and it can get Paul out of town," Will told him like everything was making sense and it didn't because Paul was only one problem out of many they had with their marriage.

"This isn't a competition Will," Sonny said once again trying to get it through his husband's head but it was like he wasn't getting it and his insecurities were winning.

"He wants you back Sonny. The whole reason for you two not being together is gone," Will explained a sadness in his eyes and Sonny sighed wanting to get through to the blonde.

"Will the reason was gone months ago and I still choose you," he said his dark eyes looking straight into blue ones; "He made it clear he wanted me and I choose you. We have problems and it isn't just you cheating. Stop trying to destroy people and focus on our marriage. I made my choice Will and I choose us now make yours," he told him walking back into Ari's bedroom.

Sonny knew that it might have been a little harsh but he needed to get through to his husband. He came back to town, came home despite all the hurt he was still feeling because he loved his husband and wanted them to work things out. It seemed while he was away instead of thinking things through in a positive way Will's mind turned crazed and desperate. The ball was in Will's court now and he had to make his choice.

~Saving Love~

Will tried to calm his heart down as the door to Ari's room closed and he was left alone to think. He looked at the drawer that held all the resource that could drive Paul out of town and then back at the bedroom. His husband and his father were telling him the same thing that he needed to save his marriage not write some big revealing article. He hated that despite everything that he felt like Paul was going to win because the truth was that he wasn't good enough but Sonny was here trying to make this work. He sighed knowing that his husband was right and he had to make a choice. Will opened the door to see his husband looking down at their daughter sleeping. He slowly walked over until he was standing next to him by the crib.

"We still need to talk," Will whispered not wanting to argue in front of their daughter.

"I told you Will that you need to choose to save this marriage or write a big article," Sonny told him not looking away from Ari's sleeping form.

"I made my choice Sonny but please we need to talk," the blonde pleaded needing the answer to the question that was bugging him and haunting him.

Sonny could hear the way that Will's voice broke like he was feeling insecure but didn't want to show it. He sighed resisting the urge to hold him and walked out of Ari's bedroom to sit down on the couch looking ahead at nothing. He heard the door to the bedroom close and soft footsteps before the blonde finally sat down on the other end of the couch.

"You proposed to him that meant something and I know it did because I know you. When you left you didn't answer the question. Do you still love him? Was I just the next guy you proposed to because you were turned down the first time?" the blonde asked speaking softly.

Sonny turned his head to see the blonde looking down at his hands messing with them and he sighed feeling like an ass for not telling his husband about his ex but in his defense he didn't think that Will wanted to know at least that was what he had been told when their relationship first started. He wasn't going to make an excuse for the cheating because him knowing or not didn't matter on that but he could see the insecurity.

"It did mean something four years ago but it doesn't now. If I still loved him I would be with him and I'm not, I'm here. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that I proposed to you because I loved you but you need to believe me," he explained not as angry as he was almost a month ago but still hurt.

"You said he wanted you," Will mumbled though it was loud enough for him to hear the words.

"He did and he probably still does but if I wanted to be with him I would and I'm not with him. I'm here with you," he said making his choice clear.

Sonny moved to the middle of the couch but didn't look at his husband because the next move was his. He turned his dark eyes and met blue ones that thankfully didn't have the crazed look in them that he did before. He saw the realization become clear in those insecure eyes and Will moved closer till he was sitting in the middle with only an inch between them. Normally one would pull the other into their arms and they would fall on the couch in a cuddle but this was different. Something in their marriage had been broken and it needed to be repaired. Will made the first move laying his head on Sonny's shoulder but he was tense like he was afraid of being pushed away thinking he would deserve it. Sonny sighed because even though he was still hurt even a month after finding out he loved the blonde. He wrapped his arm Will's waist and squeezed gently feeling the tension ease out of him. Their marriage might be broken but maybe now it could be saved.
