Christmas Happiness by lifesamemistakes
50 years old, Will was resting on the couch in front of the fireplace, leaning his back against Sonny's chest, admiring the Christmas tree in their mountain cottage, drinking hot chocolates. They were enjoying the calm before the storm corresponding to both their families coming to celebrate Christmas. As he was watching the fire, Will felt lips kissing him on his temple then his husband's breath on his neck.
"I love those times when I can spend all my time snuggling with you" Will whispered. "Just you and me, alone in our holidays' residence…."
"Tell me about it! It's crazy how many things happened here!" Sonny said, leaning against Will.
"Yeah! Only good things happened here. It's one of our many happy places…"
"Yes… Oh do you remember the time you and Arianna were on skis for the first time? Oh my… It was so funny!"
"Come on! I know you can do it! You are the best of the best!" Sonny shouted a smile on his face.
"Thank you honey but I don't think I can do it!" Will shouted back, unsteady.
"Will, baby, I was talking to Arianna…"
"Oh… Okay; right! I knew that!"
"Papa, I'm scared!" The little 6 years-old girl behind Will screamed. "Please come and get me! Please, please, please!" She begged.
"Ask your daddy! I can't come to you right now."
"No…If Daddy comes to me, we will both fall." Arianna answered her papa. "I don't want to fall!"
"Hey! Not fair!" Will said, turning towards his scared daughter. "I'm sure I can help you!" He started to move and tried to turn around.
"No I want papa Sonny! Pwease, pwease, pwease!"
"Okay, hang on! I'm coming sweetheart!" Turning to Will. "I swear you two are going to be the end of me!"
"Hey, you deserved it! I told you I never went on an actual mountain so I never skied. And you should have known I would have been very, very bad, plus I think Ari inherited my precious skills in that area." Will said as he tried to approach where Sonny was standing.
He let himself slide on the snow, managed to turn and tried as much as he could to stop next to Sonny.
"Tighten a little on the front of your skis and try not to go downhill! Try to reach a point above me! Yeah that's it! Just slow down! Slow down or you'll collide with me." He saw that Will wouldn't be able to stop as planned so Sonny let his skis slide across the descent and reached Will's arm to stop him. He finally grabbed him and managed to stop him. As soon as Will was stopped, he let himself collapse on the fresh snow. Sonny took advantage of that moment to shout at Arianna who was still upstream of them.
"Ari, did you see? Daddy fell on his butt!" It made Arianna giggle a little.
"Hey that's not true! I didn't fall this time…" Will pouted.
"This time? So you are admitting you fell the time before?!"
"Whatever! The sure thing is that this is the first and last time you make me ski. I mean, come on, we are freezing! These shoes hurt so badly and I look ridiculous. Why did the guy at the shop give me pink shoes? Pink shoes! Really?" Will comically groaned.
"You know you are groaning more than our little girl and she's only 6 years old." Sonny said sarcastically which was answered by Will sticking his tongue at him.
"Really? Wow how mature of you, Mr. Horton-Kiriakis!" he said, winking. He quickly leaned toward Will and pecked him on the lips.
When he looked up, he noticed that Arianna was still frozen in the middle of the slope and her legs were trembling and she looked scared to death. "Ari, I'm coming right now okay?!"
Will tried to turn around, but his skis were disturbing him. He decided to unclasp them. Sonny had done the same thing and he was already climbing up on the side of the slope, walking as funny as he could with this type of shoe.
"Sonny, look!" Will pointed at Arianna who finally moved from where she was. She let herself slide very slowly and hesitantly on the snow. She had an awkward posture, but she couldn't care less. All she wanted to do was to impress her fathers, and impressed they were! Sonny had joined Will and they stared proudly as their little girl was managing the basics as the snowplow and little bends. She succeeded to reach both of them and didn't even need help to stop. She proudly looked at her dads who were applauding her.
"Congratulations sweetheart! You did it!" Will exclaimed before turning to Sonny. "She's so good!"
"Yes she is!" Sonny said, an undying smile on his lips. "She's way better than you anyway!" Will stuck his tongue at him, once again. "I think she definitely didn't inherit your disastrous skills but she took me as her model!" Sonny said laughing.
"Hey, I'm standing here daddies! Did you see? I did as you told me and I did better than before! It's the first time I managed to do that! I'm so happy!" she squealed.
"Sorry sweetheart! You did good, really good!" Will told her and hugged her. "Papa is the best example. You know he used to climb all those mountains so he's very good at skiing. He'll teach you other things. But for now, what do you say we go celebrate this at the cottage with a good hot cocoa with whipped cream?"
"Yeaahhh!" Sonny and Arianna exclaimed. They both high-fived and Sonny clasped his shoes on his skis. "Honey, if we want to go to the cottage we have to shoe your skis."
"Yes I know…"
"I can't believe you still make fun of me… That was 25 years ago…"
"Oh come on… That was funny!"
"Whatever… I was so proud of her that day. I still am so proud of her."
"Yeah, me too. I was proud of you too that day."
"Why? I was ridiculous…"
"Yeah maybe, but you tried. Even if you never skied after, you tried for me and for Ari, that's why I'm proud of you…" Sonny turned his head and kissed his husband on his cheek.
"Hmmm I'll take it then…" Will laughed. "I love this little village so much, you know. I spent here the amazing moments a man would dream of. I mean it's here that we decided to extend our family."
"How can I forget that?"
Will and Sonny were leaving their cottage to go to the snowy city, hand in hand. Their goal was to look at every shop to find the perfect Christmas present for Arianna.
"I can't believe she's already 16 years old. Time flies by too quickly," Will whined.
"I know what you mean. She's not our little girl anymore." Sonny said, squeezing Will's hand gently. They passed by the slope which was reserved for people with a sled. As they were walking by, Sonny spotted a little boy who just fell from his sled and was beginning to cry. Two seconds later, the woman and the man Sonny assumed were the little one's parents, stood beside the boy. The mother was hugging him while the dad was picking up the sled. The boy instantly stopped crying and hugged his mom back. The next thing Sonny saw was the boy running to the top of the slope, sled in his hand, ready to slide all over again. Sonny smiled at the sight but was startled out of his thoughts by Will's voice.
"Sonny, do you have an idea of presents for her?"
"Huh… What?"
"Where were you? It's the third time I'm asking you if you have an idea for Arianna's present."
"Sorry, I was daydreaming… A present for Ari? Hum… Let's see…" Sonny scratched his head and looked once again on his right to see all the kids laughing with their parents. "What about a little brother or sister?"
Will immediately stopped in his tracks and turned to Sonny. "What? You-You want a baby?"
"Yes. I want another baby. We are only 36 years old and I miss taking care of a baby. I loved taking care of baby Ari, and I want to do it all over again. I want to teach him or her to walk and to speak. I want to be able to make him or her play in the snow. I want to hug him or her when she falls from her sled and encourage him or her to try again. More importantly, I want another baby with you, and you, do you want another baby with me?"
Sonny noticed the shocked look and tears beginning to fall on Will's face and he suddenly regretted asking this question. Maybe Will didn't want another baby. Maybe he just wanted to live his life calmly, just the two of them.
"Yes. Yes Sonny! I want nothing more than that. Nothing would make me happier…" Will said before throwing himself in Sonny's arms. Sonny caught him and squeezed him tight. "We're going to have a baby, Sonny. Merry Christmas!"
"It was one of the best Christmas's of my entire life. I'll always remember Arianna's smile when we announced her on Christmas Day that she would have a sister or a brother," Will said, as Sonny wrapped his arms around Will's middle and pulling him closer.
"Yes. I can say it now because nobody is here but I didn't think raising a baby in our forties would be so complicated." Sonny laughed. He turned his head towards a rather questioning Will. "Let me rephrase that. I didn't think taking care of an adolescent AND a baby would be so complicated…"
"I hear you." Will nodded. "But without our two girls, our life would be just a little less perfect."
"Absolutely!"
"Hey I don't remember, Mary is coming with Arianna today right?"
"Yes, they spent two weeks between sisters. Will, you are such a light head. They are supposed to arrive in 30 minutes with the rest of our families."
"30 minutes?" Will made Sonny turn his body for his chest to be against Will's. "You know what we can do during 30 minutes right?" He said, seductively wiggling his eyebrow.
"Really Will? You don't remember what happened the last time we thought we had enough time?"
"Oh come on Sonny! You will never forget that, will you?"
"Huh… NO!" Sonny blurted out, laughing. "I think I will never be able to forget…"
"Sonny, my mother just called. She and the girls won't be able to be here before 25 minutes because of the traffic. She also told me that your parents are following them so they also will be late."
"Okay… The table is set, the fire is on and the garlands are lit."
"Great! So what should we do to entertain ourselves?" Will said, wiggling his eyebrows in the way Sonny loved. Sonny laughed and decided that two could play the game. "I don't know… You have any idea?"
Will approached Sonny who was walking backward and curling his fingers to gesture Will to come closer. When Sonny's back finally touched the wall, Will was already inches from him. He leaned on and brushed his lips against Sonny's before kissing his way down his neck.
"You know, that's cool that our mothers got along well enough to share a cottage on the next city and to have our daughters with them…" He managed to whisper. Will backed away and looked straight in Sonny's eyes.
"Sonny, stop talking!" He said with a slightly annoyed voice.
"Okay… I'll stop talking…" He placed his hands behind Will's neck and pulled him in a kiss. He let his hands run through Will's hair while Will's were roaming his body. At one point, he even felt Will's hands making their way inside his shirt and he let out an appreciative moan. Will smiled into the kiss and continued to let his hand run along Sonny's defined abdomen. He finally let them out and began unbuttoning his shirt at an excruciating pace. He put more pressure into the kiss while Sonny was almost pulling on his hair. As soon as Sonny's shirt was unbuttoned, Will slowly caressed Sonny's pecs before pushing his shirt off his shoulder. When the shirt finally fell on the floor, Will worked on his own pullover and pulled away from the kiss to be able to take it off. He heard Sonny whine at the loss of contact between them and hurried up. They shivered at the contact of their naked chests against the other's and resumed their kissing with more passion this time.
Will was practically slotting Sonny and him in the wall as he was so excited. Sonny's hands were running down Will's back, almost scratching it eliciting loud moans from Will. He let a finger adventure itself into the waistband of Will's pants and boxers. Will placed a leg between Sonny's legs and made sure his thigh was grinding against Sonny's crotch. Sonny gasped and Will moved lower, placing kisses and bites against his husband's neck. He reached Sonny's pecs and worked on his nipples with one goal; making them as hard as possible. His teeth grazed one of his nipples and Sonny arched his body with a loud moan. He let his head fall back against the wall and closed his eyes tightly, feeling every move Will's fabulous mouth was making. Will was about to go on his knees when…
"OH MY GOD!" They both heard a woman's voice yell from the front door. Sonny instantly turned toward the door and Will immediately got up, catching both Sonny's shirt and his pullover. He threw Sonny's to him and put his own on. He finally turned toward the door and faced his mother who covering the little Mary's eyes with her own hands. Both men's heads turned a deep shade of red and Sami began laughing out loud.
"Mom… What are you doing here? I thought you were going to be late!" Sami turned outside and made room to let Arianna enter the room. The 18 year old giggled looking at her fathers' embarrassed faces and went into her bedroom.
"Honey, I called you 25 minutes ago…" Sami said putting Mary down. The 3 year old ran to her dads and hugged their legs
Will and Sonny turned to each other with wide eyes, sharing, telepathically, their shock. "That means we made out for 25 minutes…" Will said not believing what he was saying as Sonny was picking up Mary and began pressing kisses on her cheeks.
"I guess that when you enjoying something, you don't see the time." Sami said, laughing. "Next time, make sure you have enough time for…that."
"Mom, we're so sorry…."
"Hey, no problem. I have been young too and I don't think your angels saw anything."
"We're used to it anyway…" They all heard Arianna's voice from her room and they all laughed. But Will and Sonny didn't forget to blush…
"Okay, I guess you're right." Will said, defeated. "But I can kiss you, right?"
"That you can!" Sonny affirmed and leaned toward his husband. They gently kissed for a little while until Sonny got up to check on the different meals. Will stayed here watching the fire until he heard the bell ringing. He got up and went to open the door. And instantly, he was attacked by hugs and kisses from their whole family; his parents, Sonny's parents, their friends, a smiling Mary and a glowing Arianna hand in hand with her husband Andrew. Sonny finally entered the room and welcomed their guests and they all sat down on the couch. They spoke for hours about how work was doing for Will's parents and how retirement was for Sonny's. Also about how cool the week between sisters was. Mary was so proud of having learned how to cook with Arianna and she made a promise to her dads that she would be cooking for them soon. She added that she couldn't wait to see her friends. She missed her teacher and learning things and she couldn't wait to go back to school.
"I never saw a little girl so eager to go back to 5th grade." Andrew exclaimed which elicited a laugh from everybody.
Just before moving to the dining room, Arianna decided to speak again. She got up from the couch and went to the fireplace followed by her husband.
"So, Dad, papa, Mary, my dear grandparents… Andrew and I, we have wonderful news." She looked at Andrew who smiled. "We are going to have a baby!"
Their announcement was followed by everybody cheering, applauding and congratulating the young couple. Will and Sonny were the last to congratulate them. They both took her in their arms whispering congratulations. When they pulled away, they looked at each other and exclaimed with wide eyes. "Oh MY GOD! We are going to be grandparents!" which made everybody laugh.
Twenty minutes later, just as the dinner was ready to be served, Will stood in the kitchen's doorway and looked at the persons he loved the most and he told himself that he couldn't have lived a better life as almost every Christmas brought a miracle in their lives. Strong arms wrapped against his middle from behind. "What are you thinking about?" He heard Sonny whisper in his ear. He turned his head toward him and smiled.
"I was thinking about what I was going to ask Santa this year… and how difficult it is to find something because I already have everything I could ask for…"
THE END
