So I know I said I would try for once a week updates, but this sort of happened while I was at work. Hope you can accept this early update ;)


Will was dead, or at least that is how he felt. His head felt like it was going to explode. He couldn't understand why he was even awake right now, he needed more sleep. He needed to sleep this massive hangover away. Something was keeping him up though, as he closed his eyes and tried to roll over to sleep more, he realized what it was. Someone was knocking on his bedroom door. Well it wasn't his bedroom, it was Abby's spare room.

"William Horton!" Abby called from behind the door.

"Leave me alone!" Will called back, the loudness of his voice making him wince in pain.

"You need to get your ass out of that bed now, before I come in there."

Will didn't move, instead he pulled the covers and extra pillow over his head, hoping she would just go away. His hopes were crushed, when Abby barged in and jumped on his bed.

"What the hell Abbs?" Will yelled

"My mom is meeting us in an hour at that coffee shop in the square with Ari. You need to shower and wash the stink off you. For real, you smell like a brewery."

"How are you alive right now?" Will groaned siting up in the bed, and remembering why he never drank.

"I kept myself hydrated, you should drink water in between each drink."

"Thanks for telling me that last night." Will groaned getting out of bed. "Give me 15 minutes and I'll meet you in the kitchen. I expect pancakes since ultimately it's your fault I feel this way."

"Because I didn't tell you about the water, how is that fair?"

"That's part of the reason, the other is dragging me out"

"Hey, you should be thanking me for that."

"Really? Why would I do that?"

"Because if I didn't, then you wouldn't have been able to spend the whole night flirting with that cute guy." Abby said as she got off the bed and walked out of the room.

That's when his memories of the previous night came flooding back. He flirted and then made that announcement on Sonny's ass. Great, he got drunk and made a fool of himself in front of his daughter's tee ball coach. What was he thinking, it had felt right at the time, like Sonny was flirting back. Things like that didn't happen to Will though he was drunk and just imagined it all, he told himself.

"Horton, you better be getting your ass in the shower!" Abby yelled from the kitchen.

Will headed to the bathroom where he grabbed some aspirin, and water and then got into the shower. 20 minutes later he was in the kitchen and shocked to see Abby had actually made him pancakes.

"I knew there was a reason I loved you." Will said pouring himself a coffee and grabbing a stack of pancakes.

"There are a lot of reasons you love me." Abby smiled at him.


A half hour later they were entering the coffee shop Common Grounds, it was a little shop in the Horton Square. Will loved his coffee, but hadn't actually been here before he usually went to the Pub owned by this great grandmother, it was easier that way because a family member was always around to help with Ari. Sunglasses still on to help with the major headache, Will headed to the counter as Abby grabbed a table. The lights were so bright and his sun glasses weren't really helping, he kept his head down as he waited in line, he couldn't remember exactly how much he had to drink, but knew he never felt this bad before. He needed the largest coffee ever, and to sit down but the stupid person in front of him was taking forever. After what seemed like hours the man finally left. Will moved up to the counter eyes still trained on the ground and placed his order.

"I need the largest black coffee you have and an iced mocha."

"No hello first?" A familiar voice asked, Will's head snapped up so fast he groaned in pain.

"Sonny." Will said in shock "Sorry...I didn't notice you."

"Rough night?" Sonny joked as he started getting the drinks Will ordered.

"I have never been this hung over in my life." Will said finally removing his sunglasses. "Wait..what are you doing here?"

"Working." Sonny said

"You work here? I thought you owned that club last night?"

"I do. I um..own this place too" Sonny was proud of his accomplishments but still modest. He didn't want people to think he was bragging.

"Wow. You own a club, a coffee shop, and your a coach. You must be a busy man."

"Sometimes, I usually just handle the back end stuff, but my barista called out sick today and couldn't find a replacement."

"That sucks, having to work after being out so late the night before."

"I wasn't happy about it this morning but now I'm glad I came in"

"Oh yea, why's that?"

"If I didn't I wouldn't be talking to you."

Will was speechless, Sonny was definitely flirting with him now and he couldn't be misinterpreting it because he wasn't drunk. Will was about to say something but of course he was interrupted

"Daddy!" Arianna yelled attacking Will's leg. "I missed you lots"

"Hey baby." Will smiled down at his daughter lifting her into his arms "I missed you more!"

"Nope, I missed you mostest!" Ari said then turned her head and noticed her coach. "Coach Sonny! Daddy coach Sonny is here!"

"Yes sweetheart I know."

"Hi Ari" Sonny smiled at her.

"Why don't you go over to the table with Abby."

"Ok, but get me my special coffee." Ari said starting over to the table.

"Of course" Will watched his daughter walk over the table with Abby and his aunt Jen, then turned back to Sonny "Can I have a hot chocolate for her in a to go coffee cup she likes to pretend she is drinking coffee like the grown ups"

"Sure coming right up." Sonny turned around and began making Ari's drink

"So do you feel as bad as I do?" Will asked making small talk.

"I don't really get hung over, the key is to drink lots of water" Sonny answered placing the hot chocolate on the counter.

"How does everyone know that but me?"

"Beginner mistake." Sonny shook his head when Will tried to pay. "On the house."

"Thanks. Your spoiling me, free drinks last night, free coffee today. I could get use to this." Will smiled at him, then realized what he said. "I mean not that I expect you.."

"It's fine, I know what you meant, but I think I could get use to it too."

Are you trying to flirt with me, Kirakis?" Will asked, hoping he was right, and not making a fool out of himself.

"Maybe. Do you want to be flirted with?"

"By you..definitely"

"Come on daddy! I have to tell you about what I did" Ari yelled across the shop.

"Story of my life. Looks like I have to go" Will said, trying to grab the three drinks.

"Here let me help you." Sonny grabbed Ari's hot chocolate and followed Will over to the table. "Here's your coffee, young lady."

"Thanks! I love coffee. Aren't you going to stay and here about my awesome sleepover" Ari asked when Sonny started to walk away.

"Ari, Sonny is at work."

"No it's fine. I could take a break, if you don't mind me joining you."

"That would be great. My mom and I actually have somewhere we need to be." Abby said getting up and grabbing her mothers hand.

"What? Where?" Jennifer asked confused.

"Ya know that thing. We can't be late." Abby said kneeling down and hugging Ari, while Will gave her the death stare. Jennifer looked between Will and Abby and then Sonny.

"Oh right. That thing. Ok. I guess were leaving."

"Thanks for having me sleepover Aunt Jennifer, I had lots of fun." Ari said running over to give her a hug.

"Yea thanks, Aunt Jen. I hope she wasn't too much trouble."

"Don't be silly, she was the perfect princess. Really anytime you need someone to watch her Will give me a call. I love having her over."

"Thanks." Will said excepting the kiss on his cheek from his aunt, and watching them leave.

"Ok now, I have to tell you everything!" Ari said excitedly.

"I can't wait to hear it." Sonny smiled at her. Ari began recounting her whole night, from the moment she arrived, Will didn't think she left anything out. He was really trying to listen to everything but he couldn't keep his eyes off Sonny. Sonny paid attention to Ari so intently and would stop her to ask questions, and would make her laugh with the shocked expressions he would make when Ari got really excited about something. Sonny was gorgeous, but watching him with his daughter just made him so much more so. Will had bad luck with guys in the past, they usually wouldn't make it past a first date when they found out about his daughter. He had one serious boyfriend and he barely seen him, always making excuses not to come by, if Ari was around. Dante and Ari probably only met each other twice and Will dated him for 7 months. Sonny though, he asked about Ari, he paid attention when she talked, and he spoke to her like she was a person and not a baby. It made Will feel things in his heart he never knew existed and it scared him, he just met this man and hasn't even been out with him. He needed stop thinking and pay attention, Ari and Sonny were both staring at him.

"I'm sorry what?" Will asked

"Are you ok daddy, you had that look, again" Ari said then leaned in and whispered to him "The poop look" Apparently Ari's whispering wasn't as good as she thought because Sonny was laughing. Just great, Will thought.

"No, Arianna. I just have a headache" Will answered.

"I was telling you that Aunt Jennifer painted my nails!" Ari said extending her hand to show both Will and Sonny.

"Wow, princess they look amazing" Will smiled at his daughter.

"I know! Better then you do."

"Hey! I do ok"

"No daddy you don't. Sonny look at my feet." Ari said pulling her sandaled feet up and showing Sonny the nail polish all over them.

"Ari's right Will. Did you get any paint on the actual nail?"

"Yea well, lets see you try." Will pouted

"It's sweet that you tired. I at least like the color" Sonny said

"Blue is my favorite color. That's why I made Aunt Jennifer keep them, she was going to take it off and paint them again but I said NO" Ari informed matter of factly.

"Blue is my favorite color too." Sonny smiled at her

"We are like best friends!" Ari said jumping out of her seat excitedly "Do you want to be my best friend Sonny?"

"I would be honored"

"What about me? I thought I was your best friend?" Will asked

"Your my daddy, you don't count"

"Jee thanks." Will pouted

"But you are the bestest daddy ever." Ari said climbing onto Will's lap and giving him a hug, just then Will's phone started ringing, he looked at the caller ID and seen it was his mother.

"Sorry I have to take this." Will said looking over to Sonny, and placing Ari back down on the ground.

"That's ok, there's a line forming I need to get back to work. Could you maybe come see me before you leave though?" Sonny asked getting up from the table.

"Sure." Will watched Sonny walk away and then answered the phone. "Hey mom." He handed Ari a coloring book and crayons from her over night back as he spoke with his mother.

"Just wanted to make sure, we were still on for the park in an hour."

Will groaned he forget he promised a play date between Ari, Johnny, Allie and Sidney thankfully the coffee was starting to make him feel human again.

"Yes, mom. We'll meet you at the south entrance." He spoke with her for a few more minutes before he hung up the phone and headed over to the counter to say good bye.

"We gotta get going, play date at the park. But could I get another large coffee to go?" Will asked pulling out his wallet. As Sonny was about to protest the money he quickly added "And I'm paying this time."

"Fine you could pay, but only if you promise to let me pay for dinner tonight." Sonny said pouring Will's coffee.

"I'm sorry I can't"

"Oh, ok" Sonny frowned at him.

"No, I mean I would love to but I have Ari. She just spent the night at my aunts last night, I know how she gets and she won't like being away from me again so soon"

"We can do something the three of us then."

"Really are you sure?"

"I would love to spend more time getting to know you." Sonny said smiling as he watched Ari over the table coloring, she was so into it her tongue sticking out as she concentrated. "And besides Ari is my new best friend, we have some catching up to do"

"If your sure. I'd love too"

"I'm positive. Here give me your number." Sonny handed Will his phone for him to add his number.

"I'm done around 3, I'll call you then and we could set something up."

"Perfect." Will said, then headed over to the table, put Ari's stuff away, and headed for the door.

"And Will" He stopped and turned to look at Sonny "Just so you know, this is a date"

"Oh daddy! You have a date!" Ari said jumping up and down, clapping her hands.

Yea I do. Will thought to himself as he smiled at Sonny before he turned to leave, a little more bounce in his step
