"Hey, baby girl," Will says to his daughter. "Did you have fun today?"
"I like Sonny!" Arianna exclaims.
"I could tell."
"When do I get to play with him again?"
Will laughs at his daughter's response. "I don't know, sweetie."
Arianna looks at her father with big, blue eyes. "Can it be soon? Pleeeease?!"
"You know I can never say no to that face. But we need to get you to bed!"
"But Daaa-dyyyyy, I wanna snuggle with you tonight."
"I don't know how Brian would feel about that," Will laughs.
"Do you love Brian more than you love me?" Arianna asks, innocently.
This question takes Will aback. "Of course not, sweetie. You know you're my favorite person in the whole wide world."
"Then why does Brian always get to snuggle with you and I never do," she pouts.
Arianna's comments tear at Will's heart a little bit. "How about I let you lay in bed with me until Brian gets home? How does that sound?"
"Well, ok," Arianna says, disappointed.
Will lifts his daughter up into his arms and walks her to her bedroom. "Pick out your jamas and then it's time for your bath."
"But Daddy," Arianna sighs. "I don't wanna take a bath. All I wanna do is sleep with you."
"Ahhh. We will get there. But first, it's bath time."
Arianna grabs her favorite Snoopy pajamas out of the drawer and hands them to Will. Then grabs her father's hand as they walk to the bathroom. During the bath, Arianna is going on and on about how much fun she had with Sonny today. And that she likes him way more than she likes Brian.
"Why can't you live with Sonny instead of Brian, Daddy?"
"Because Sonny is my boss and Brian is my boyfriend. Plus I love Brian very much."
Arianna sighs and continues talking about Sonny. After the bath is done, Will wraps her in a towel to dry her off. Will hands Arianna her pajamas and she changes into her Snoopy clothing. Then Will combs her hair and puts it into a braid. Next he tells her to brush her teeth. After she finishes, they walk hand in hand to Will's bedroom. Will scoops her up and sets her on the bed. He climbs on the bed and lays down on his side of the bed. She jumps on top of him, then snuggled into his side. Will wraps his arm around his daughter, pulling her closely to him. Will loves this little girl so much. It only takes a couple of minutes before she is asleep. As he lays there with his daughter pressed into his side, all he can think of are Arianna's words. Why can't you live with Sonny instead of Brian? Will is shocked at how quickly Arianna took to Sonny. He knew she really wasn't a fan of Brian's. Actually most of his family wasn't. But Will loved Brian. They have been through a lot together. But is that reason enough for me to stay with him? Will doubts and kisses his daughter on the head. He falls asleep, thinking about Sonny's warm eyes and kind smile that was on display all night as he watched his daughter.
