I feel truly overwhelmed by all the love I received on the last chapter. I am very grateful that there are so many awesome people out there, and I'd want to give you all a big hug if I could!

So, basically this story is wrapping up. I never meant for it to be a long one, but after this chapter there's only an epilogue left. The last couple of days, however, a new story started forming in my head, but I can't say that much about it yet. I do hope it will develop itself and end up being on this site, but I can't make any promises.

Either way, thanks again for all your comments and stuff, really means a lot to me! And of course, please keep them coming!

Charlotte and Will were still sitting next to each other talking, though they had changed the topic of their conversation into some lighter talk. Charlotte even had made some comments about the wedding, and although they were followed by a sigh or a bite of the lip, Will saw that as a very good sign that there was still going to be a wedding tomorrow if it were up to her. He was just about to show Charlotte the latest of his Ari's videos to keep her distracted from worrying too much about the Kiriakis' brothers, when they were interrupted by a gentle knock on the door.

'Charlotte, can I please come in?' they heard Alex say.

Charlotte looked at Will for a second, who gave her a reassuring smile and nodded, 'Door's open' she just said. She heard the door open and felt Will getting off the bed. He observed Alex for a second and smiled slightly in passing. 'Sonny's on the roof' Alex mouthed, making Will nod silently before quietly leaving the room and setting direction to the roof.

He found Sonny sitting on the edge, quietly looking out over the water. Will walked up and stood behind him without saying a word, until he felt Sonny rest his body against his chest.

'How are you?' Will simply asked, as he put his arms around his boyfriend.

'A little tired' Sonny spoke truthfully, as he linked his hands with Will's, tightening their embrace.

Will softly kissed him on the top of his head and felt Sonny relax in his arms, a good sign, 'Good talk?' he hence asked.

Sonny nodded slightly, before closing his eyes, 'Good talk' he confirmed, 'Just a little drained right now'.

For a moment the two held their embrace, feeling the most at ease they had in days, before Will felt Sonny tightening up again. As a first response he smoothly stroked his hands, but that didn't seem to ease Sonny.

'Will' he finally spoke up, 'Please tell me we'll have a wedding tomorrow'

Will simply pecked him on the head again, but felt Sonny shuffle slightly. He opened his eyes and instantly met the brown orbs looking up at him worryingly, 'Seriously, I don't think I can handle ruining my brothers' happiness'

Will shot him a reassuring look, 'I don't think we need to worry' he said.

For a moment he felt Sonny relax again, before he saw the worry reappear in his eyes. Will couldn't help but tighten their embrace a bit, 'Babe, I spoke to Charlotte and..' he started, making Sonny shoot up immediately,

'What did she say? How did she seem to you? I mean, she loves Alex obviously, but do you think she..' he started, while Will couldn't help but smile at Sonny's concern for his brothers' happiness.

'If you'd let me finish' he interrupted Sonny and squeezed his hand to get his attention, 'She was mostly so concerned and worried about Alex, though obviously wondering about his reasoning behind everything'

Sonny bit his lip, 'He was overwhelmed, a little uncomfortable and mostly ashamed for feeling uncomfortable' he explained for his brother, 'and he was a little on edge because our family has been playing happy family all week'

Will smiled slightly, 'I know someone who felt the same'

Sonny nodded, 'I'm convinced he didn't mean it against us, against Ari' he spoke truthfully, 'He was just lashing out for everyone making this wedding weekend about this 'issue' by not addressing the issue'

Will couldn't help but kiss the top of Sonny's head lovingly again, 'Then I wouldn't worry about the wedding tomorrow' he simply responded, 'I for one am even happy you two were able to talk it out beforehand'

Sonny looked back, 'And you're not even going to say: I told you so?' he wondered.

Will simply shook his head and leaned in for a real kiss, and seeing Sonny's eyes sparkle when they pulled back. For a moment they just stood together, before Sonny was the first to speak again.

'Will?' he said softly, 'Thank you'

Will smiled a little and just held their embrace, 'For what?'

He felt Sonny lovingly squeeze their intertwined hands, 'For being you' he explained.

The next day, there indeed was a wedding in the perfect setting. The weather was great, the scenery looked perfect and the bride looked absolutely radiant. The vows were made in front of the crowd and to everyone the love and devotion behind the spoken promises were perfectly clear as the eyes of the bride and groom couldn't hide they were speaking the absolute truth when promising to love and cherish for the rest of their lives. Sonny was standing on the side with his other brothers and couldn't help but feel lucky to be part of this special moment. For a moment, his eyes gazed over the crowd and met Will's, who were almost sparkling too. He had Ari on his lap, who had been a perfect angel throughout the ceremony and mouthed a quick 'I love you', before Sonny focussed back on the vows. Afterwards, they attended a nice reception with great food and nice music, where Will and Sonny dared a little dance with both each other and with little Ari, before the baby girl was put to bed and it was time for dinner. Will felt Sonny's demeanour tighten and noticed how he barely ate the appetizer, so he simply put his hand on Sonny's leg under the table.

'You'll do great' he reassured him. Sonny smiled flatly, so Will took it upon himself to pick up his knife and tap his glass whilst grinning at Sonny who instantly looked a shade paler. As the room quieted, he finally took a breath and stood up, focussing his first attention to the newlyweds next to him.

'I do hope you will forgive me, I know the programme asked for my dad to give one of his great speeches, but he agreed to give me the honours. And that is a gesture of faith, as I actually wrote this speech last night, while sitting on the roof and looking over the sea.

And as I was watching the very Greek scenery, I couldn't help but think about our family. About our childhood, about our shared love for adventure. To most of you it won't be a secret that Alex and I haven't always been the closest during the years, but as kids Alex and I were pretty inseparable. In fact, Alex had taken it upon himself to teach me everything he knew. And since I was pretty impressed with my big brother, I was a very eager student and basically tried everything he'd throw at me. Sometimes to the annoyance of mom, like when he taught me how to climb really high trees, how to do stunts on my bike or when he learned me how to drink beer when I got a little older. I think there's only one time I actually failed him and that was the time he wanted to teach me how to kiss a girl properly..

Anyway, my point is that I always loved spending time with him, but I actually only yesterday realised what it meant for him, since at the time it was basically pretty uncool to hang out with your baby brother. And he'd still always take me everywhere he went. Even when his friends would come and ask him to go somewhere and play, he'd always suggest places I could come along. And I don't want to make this about me, but although I've always felt pretty out of place and lonely as a kid, by doing just that Alex has always made sure I wasn't. Either by standing by my side, by letting me tag along with his friends or by making the kids in my class wanting to hang out with me since I hung out with the older kids. So I realized yesterday that Alex actually taught me something more important that I never realised, he taught me what family meant. He taught me family means standing by each other sides and helping each other out, even if it makes you seem uncool at times.

So Alex, thanks you for doing just that, for making me feel less alone when I was a kid and thank you so much for letting me tag along again today, to witness this very special moment in your live. And I can't say how happy I am for you that you've found Charlotte. Someone with a heart as big as yours and who I know will stand by your side no matter what, just like you've always done for me. I've never known what it's like to have a sister, but I'm looking forward to finding that out. So here's too Charlotte and to Alex, wishing you the very best for the rest our your lives together'

Sonny simply raised his glass and he didn't know who stood up the first but suddenly he was pulled into a hug by both Charlotte and Alex.

'Thank you so much Sonny' Alex spoke with warm eyes once they'd let go of each other. Sonny couldn't do other than smile back, before finally daring to look up at the crowd. He spotted Will next to him nodding proudly, Vic and Joey practically cheering and finally he spotted his parents. Justin was sporting a proud look, while Adrienne was practically bawling next to him. Sonny shot Alex a knowing look and the both of them started laughing before hugging again.

'I think we might kill mom if we don't go and sit down soon' Sonny joked, letting go of his brother again.

So finally, Sonny sat down again and felt Will slip his hand back on his leg. A simple squeeze to let him know just how proud he was, while the next course was being served silently. After a few bites in silence between them, Sonny saw Will putting down his fork from the corner of his eye. He finished his bite, but before he could say anything he already heard Will's voice.

'I changed my mind, Son' he spoke, keeping his head forward.

Sonny frowned his eyebrow for a second and looked next to him, but Will was avoiding his eyes, 'About what?' he finally inquired.

'About our wedding' Will spoke casually, 'I don't want to elope'

For a moment, Sonny felt flabbergasted, unable to even form words, before a simple and confused 'What?' came out.

'Our wedding' Will repeated calmly, 'I want it to be a family wedding too. I want everyone to be there and to hear me say my vows to you'

Sonny felt a lump in his throat and almost wanted to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Will seemed to understand him, as he softly squeezed Sonny's leg under the table again, before starting a conversation with Joey, who happened to be sitting next to him. Sonny, however, was still staring in front of him.

'Do you want me to ask for some water?' he suddenly heard Charlotte say next to him, 'You look like you could use it'. Sonny blinked a few times, before finally being able to look beside him and see a knowing smile on Charlotte's face. Sonny couldn't help but grin back goofily, as Will's words finally started to dawn on him.
