With January almost over, the Halstead family spent the entire month on vacation to forget about what happened with Alexander. Lily was now almost 3 months old the family decided to head home. " So I talked to Matt, he said that when he was redoing the rooms that we asked him to he also changed the locks. He hid the key in one of the flower pots." Sophia tells Will as she looks back at Blue who is sleeping next to Lily. "I'm just glad we're almost home." Will tells Sophia as he grabs her hand and kisses it only to see that she is slowly falling asleep.
After about 30 more minutes of driving, Will was relieved when he finally pulled into the driveway. After parking the car he decided to get Lily out first and let Sophia sleep. Once he found the new house key Will took Lily upstairs to her bed and laid her down gently before going back to the car to pick up and carry a sleeping Sophia into the house with Blue following them only to stop and go sleep next to Lily's crib. Will laid a sleeping Sophia down on the bed and began to change her clothes the tucked her in and changed his clothes before laying down next to his sleeping wife falling asleep himself. The next morning Will woke up to find that he was now alone in bed and was about to get out of bed when Sophia came back into the room carrying Lily. "Lily your daddy beat us to it. He's already awake, he's just no fun, is he?" Sophia says looking down at a now cooing Lily as she goes to sit down on the bed. Leaning in Sophia goes to kiss Will only for him to turn his head at the last second. Shocked Sophia asked why he did that. "Because I'm no fun remember." Will replied acting hurt. Scoffing at her husband's actions, Sophia wacks Will upside his head playfully only for him to smile and pull Sophia down on the bed next to him and giving her a kiss while being extra careful since Lily was still in her arms. "This is how I want to spend the rest of my day. Just laying here with my two favorite girls." right after Will said that a jealous Blue jumped up onto the bed and curled up next to him causing Will to laugh. " Excuse me, my three favorite girls," Will says as he pulls Sophia and Lily closer to him while lost in his thoughts. "You ok, you seem a little lost there?" Sophia asked her husband when she saw the lost look on his face pulling him out of his thoughts. "I'm fine just thinking about how my life is different now." "Good different or bad different?" "Good different, you know a year ago today I proposed to this girl who I thought was the one only for her to reject me. I'm kinda glad she did reject me though because after she said no, I went to this bar and poured my heart out to this beautiful bartender that worked there. We began talking and did a couple of shots of tequila together, Since that night my life hasn't been the same." "Oh yeah, what happened with the bartender?" "well, I ended up asking her out, she said yes. We got married back in November and have a beautiful baby girl together. My life has been pretty amazing since I met that bartender." "I am pretty amazing aren't I." Sophia replied causing Will to laugh at her. "Yes, you are." " I can't believe it's been a full year since I've been home. You know if you never would have said anything, I wouldn't have ever thought about it." "Does this mean I can use this as a get out of jail free card if I ever forget our wedding anniversary in the future?" " Not even in the slightest bit." Sophia replied smiling sweetly while batting her eyelashes at him. "Well, it was worth a shot. Don't make any plans for today either. See if you're parents can watch Lily tonight. It's been a while since we've had a date so I'm taking you out." Will tells her before getting up and going to the bathroom. "Lily, your daddy is so good to me. I don't know what I did to deserve him."
Later that night while Sophia was getting ready, Cindy stopped by to pick Lily up happy to have her granddaughter to send the night. About five minutes go by and Sophia is finally dressed and ready to go. When Will sees her walking down the stairs he stops and smiles. "You look gorgeous just like you always do." Will tells her causing Sophia to smile and blush.
"Let me grab my coat and we can go." Sophia tells him as she grabs her coat on the way to the door as she follows Will out to the car. "So where are we going?" "Its a surprise." Will tells her as they begin to leave the house.
(skipping the car ride)
"Well, here we are." Will tells Sophia as they get out of the car and begin to walk up to a restaurant. "This is where we had our first date, wasn't it?" "It is, I figured since it's been a full year since we met, we should go someplace special to us." Will tells her causing Sophia to tear up a little bit. "I don't know what I did to deserve you." "Hey, dry those eyes, and I think it's more the other way around. Now let's head inside so we can get us a table." The two quickly head inside and wait about five minutes until they are seated. When the waiter comes to take their order, Will was ready not only ordering for him but he also ordered Sophia's drink and meal. When the waiter left their table, Sophia looked at her husband with a questionable look on her face. "Its what you ordered when we came here that night." Will tells her which shocks Sophia. "I'm surprised you even remember that." "I'm not going to lie, it took some time to remember because if I recall the most memorable moment didn't exactly happen at the dinner, it happened later that night when we got back to the apartment." "Will!" "What, I seem to remember that you enjoyed it just as much as I did." Will laughs as Sophia tries to cover her now red face. "I love you, Sophia, so much. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you or Lily." Will tells Sophia right before their food arrives. When the couple is finished eating they get up and begin to dance as they did on their first date.
