"She was like the moon

- Part of her

was always hidden"

Alicia groaned as she woke with the sun on her face. She was getting used to waking up at Will's apartment. She really had meant to go home last night. She wanted some time to think before Will came over and the kids came home from their dad's. Her list of things to do didn't get smaller when she had sex, no the nasty side effect of having sex again meant that a lot of important things ended up being pushed to the back burner to make time for sex, like thinking about the situation that was bringing the great sex into your life.

Alicia rolled over to watch him sleep. She really didn't want to have to wake him up, but she really had to get going and get started on the list of things she had intended to do last night. She kissed him awake gently,

"Hey honey, you got your night, now I have to get home and get things ready for tonight." She leaned over and kissed him one last time and started to climb out of bed. Will growled at the intrusion, but he spoke quietly to her,

"Ok, I'll miss you. And I'll see you at 6:30." He was still half asleep and was fighting a battle to stay awake as he mumbled to her, "need… anything?" followed by a quiet snore.

Years of waking up teenagers for school allowed Alicia to decipher the half spoken and half snored sentence. Alicia figured that he was asking her if she needed to bring anything for tonight. She didn't need him to bring anything, but she had the distinct that if she had told him to bring something he wouldn't remember it anyways.

She got dressed and headed to her car. As she walked she made lists in her mind. She needed to figure out dinner, she had a few briefs from the office she needed to read, there was the never ending list of emails waiting for her attention and of course the item on the list weighing heaviest on her mind; Mr. Will Gardner, and the road she had chosen to take with him.

She put the list in her mind in order. The first item on the list being to figure out dinner, it seemed the most pressing since she needed to go to the grocery store and buy the stuff for it. As she drove to the grocery store she contemplated dinner choices.

By the time Alicia had finished at the grocery store she realized she was running on energy made solely available to moms. She made a quick stop by her favorite place to buy wine while she wondered how she had the brain power to remember everything she did.

Lost in a sea of emails and paperwork, Alicia didn't realize that 6:00 had rolled around. It was Zach and Grace walking in the door that had her jumping from the couch. The roast was happily simmering away in the oven and she needed to hop in the shower.

Will arrived promptly at 6:15 holding a bottle of wine and a smile that would have brought the hardest woman to her knees. Alicia greeted him at the entrance way and they got the evening under way.

The evening went wonderfully, they even managed to play a couple of rounds of Trivial Pursuit with Will and Grace teaming up against Alicia and Zach. Will and Grace managed to beat Alicia and Zach. It was around 10:30 when Will announced that he had reached his limit and that he needed head home.

Watching Will say goodbye to her kids was the most humbling experience she had ever had. She wasn't sure why she hadn't trusted herself and her kids to do this before. All Alicia could think was at least that was one thing less she'd have to worry about.

Alicia walked Will to the door and kissed him goodnight in the hallway.

"Alicia you have the most wonderful children, not that I wouldn't have expected it, I always thought you'd be an amazing mom." Will reached up to caress Alicia's cheek, "Thanks for last night, and I had a great time this evening. I'll call you when I get home."

Alicia didn't know what to say. How was it that Will Gardner could leave her speechless so many times a day? She's never spent so much time trying to find words than when Will looked at her. Instead Alicia decided to do something she hadn't done before and she lead with her heart instead of her brain. She leaned and kissed Will. She poured all of the emotions running around in her head and heart into it. And from Will's reaction she knew that he understood. With a last glance and a whispered I love you Will turned to the elevator.

"Will?"

"Alicia?" Will asked humorously

"I love you too"
