Sonny's POV:

I talk to Kate, who is her typical mystical self. I don't understand the things she says and frankly I don't want to. Will's Dad comes in and I say Hi. I hear them conversing and wonder if they are going to mention Will. I try to stay busy, but my ears are going to their direction. I hear Lucas' phone ring and see the concerned look on Kate's face.

Kate: What's wrong?

Lucas: We have to go, it's the baby. Come on, I have to go now, be with Will.

I take off my apron and lay it on the counter, not even giving it a second thought. My thoughts are with Will and only Will. I have to get to him. I know he says that we are just friends and if that what he needs, that's what I'll be.

Will is teary eyed and talking to his Grandma and Dad, and I stand back in the distance. I wait for my turn, I don't want to butt into a family moment. He spots me and I can see the relief on his face, I feel the relief in my heart. We talk, just fill in the silence. He can't believe I'm here, that I would come to him. I tell him of course I did, we're still friends.

We wait for word on this baby, Will's little girl. Strangely, I feel a connection to her, and I haven't even met her yet . But since she is Will's, I think I care, because of that. Finally, we get the word that she and Gabi are out of the woods. He relaxes, somewhat. He calms down. He starts to pour himself a cup of coffee. There was a time, when he would only drink my coffee. I make a decision that very moment. "I know a place where you won't be bothered and you can get a decent cup of coffee too." He gives me that sweet as honey smile and I melt, just a little more inside.

It is icy cold out here as we hustle to the coffee shop. We head inside and I tell him I will start the coffee and he heads to the restroom. I grab his backpack and I notice a card with my name in it. I take it out of the bag and I make sure he is not coming back. I open it and I read his true words, his real feelings. He thought my forgotten-I-ordered Valentines gift was a peace-offering. I feel bad at that very moment. But I also feel renewed. I realize that no matter how hard I try to, I will never be out of love with Will Horton. He is mine-Always. He was mine before the baby and he will be mine after. It will work, if we want this too, I know at that moment, I want it to work. I know that I have been truly miserable the past weeks without him. He returns from the bathroom and sees that I have found the undelivered Valentines message.

Will: You weren't supposed to see that.

Sonny: You can have it back (I hold it out for him), but I can't pretend I didn't read this. (I say pulling it back)

He is embarrassed. He wants the floor to swallow him up, I read it all over his face. I want to take his face and hold it within my two hands and kiss his beautiful lips.

Will: Let's not make a big deal out of this-I get ok. You didn't mean to send the mp3 player. The new beginning was just, us moving in together...

Sonny:(He says a bunch of things regarding Brian and being wrong about us, not getting back together. I am not sure in what order, I am just waiting for my turn to say what I need...want to say. ) Will, I just realize that we can never be just friends.

Will: I know, I get it. Brian is...

Sonny: Brian and I are not together.

Will: Why not...he's perfect.

Sonny: ...Because he's not you, Will.

And there it is my opening. I have forgiven him on my heart and soul. I am closing this gap. I am putting an end to the pain we are both in at this very moment. I ask him if he still feels the same way he did when he wrote the Valentine, he looks away. But I can tell he does, but he dares not to hope. I close the gap "then I am glad I sent you this Valentines day present". Then it's like I am given new life. My lips are pressed against his. And I feel born again, alive with the newness of this part of our love.

We head to his dorm room. Not sure if it was because he wanted to be easily found or if it was just closer. We enter the room and start to kiss. We get to his bed and we are kissing. He stops and tells me that he wants to tell me something else. I am dumbstruck at that moment. What else is there? I sit in silence as he is telling me his story. He had shot EJ to protect his Mom and his Dad took the blame and everyone involved knows. I can understand that. If my Mom was ever in a situation that she needed protection, I or my brothers may have done that same thing. Especially with the things she has been through in her past.

I tell him "you didn't have tell me all of that". But he says that if we are truly going to be together, I have to know everything. And that is it. Will has told me his darkest secrets. I feel like I just want to protect him. He needs to be shown love right now. I crawl over to him and kiss him. We make out for a few moments on the floor right there. Then we are on his bed and we are making love. I want, no-I need to show him that I love him and I want to be with him-always.

This time it feels new, but the same all at once. When we are finished, we lay together, at the foot of the bed. We are just there together and that is all we need.

Sonny: You know we should get a bigger place, so when you have your daughter...

Will: I love you.

I kiss his hand. He hasn't stopped touching me, since we've made love. I love it when he touches me. It's his way of making sure I am real, but I also think it makes him feel whole.

Then there is a bang on the door and its that snake Nick. What in the hell does he want now? Will lets his smug ass in and there is a bunch of posturing on his part. He is spouting off about the things he knows Will has done and he makes his demands. That Will gives up the baby in order for Nick not to tell anyone what he knows. Will kicks him out and I try to comfort him.

The thing of it is, I know that the only reason he wants Will to give up his daughter is because Nick is a homophobic-jerk. And if the SOB thinks I am going to just sit back "because I have nothing to do with this" he has another thing coming. I am on Will's side and this is where I am going to stay. Nick and Gabi are in for a fight-and I am suited up and ready of the ring. Nick Fallon better beware, he has messed with the wrong person, on my watch.
