Day 2

The next morning, Sonny woke up to an empty bed. He got up and groggily walked to the bathroom. He hadn't shaved in a few days and he knew he had to. He decided to take an early morning shower while he thought about it.

Will stood in the kitchen making breakfast for his family. He hummed out a Christmas tune while he made pancakes and a pot of coffee. Just as he finished making a warm bottle for Ari, Gabi came out holding her ready to feed her.

"Is that pancakes I smell?"

"Yes it is."

"Wow. This is the first time you made decent pancakes." She walked over to him and watched him.

"Very funny Gabi. I'm awesome. Right sweetie? Daddy is the best." She giggled as he tickled her stomach and toes.

Sonny came out dressed and looking good. He walked up behind Will and covered him in his arms, forgetting that Gabi and Ari were there.

"Morning."

"Morning yourself." Sonny nuzzled his face in his neck and gave him tiny kisses. Will was well into the rocking movement that Sonny was doing and the kisses that he didn't hear Gabi clearing her throat.

"Baby eyes over here." The sound brought Will out of his trance and Sonny stopped his movements all together. It was as if Will was hypnotized by being in his arms. Sonny pulled away and brought out a plate and filled it with two pancakes. He drizzled some syrup and sat next to Gabi and Arianna.

"So what's the plan for today?" Gabi looked at the both of them.

"We are going to visit my mom and EJ today. Is that okay?" Will finished a whole batch and brought himself and Gabi a plate.

"Yeah that's fine." Her face fell into a small frown.

"Try not to be too excited. What's with that look on your face?" Will asked.

"I'm still nervous sometimes around you guys and your mom about the whole thing. And I can't seem to apologize enough."

"Come on Gabi! We've told you a million times you don't have to apologize. I know you have so many times. But that's the past. I know I reacted badly but I've forgotten about it."

"I know. And again, I'm sorry." She got up to get rid of the empty plate. They both wondered why Sonny was quiet the entire time. They turned around to see him next to the couch and watched as Arianna slowly walked towards him.

"Is it just me or is Ari walking? Oh my god." Gabi got up and crouched next to Sonny.

"Come to mommy Ari."

Will stood watching in awe as his daughter made his first steps. She stood up slowly, pushing herself up with her tiny hands. She took three tiny steps and was about to fall when Gabi caught her.

Sonny and Gabi were amazed and was so happy. They were into trying to make her walk again, they didn't notice Will left the room.

"Will you have to see this again. Will?" He looked up and noticed Will was gone. He walked into their bedroom and saw him sitting on their bed and quiet sobs coming from him.

"Are you okay Will?" He sat next to him rubbing his back. Will lifted his head and looked at Sonny.

"I'm more than okay. I'm happy. She's already nineteen months and she's already starting to walk. It just seems like yesterday she was just born. I couldn't be any happier." Sonny hugged him close.

"I feel the same way." It was at if Will's tears were contagious because Sonny began to cry. He pulled back and kissed away the tears before he kissed his lips. They went back into the living room and watched her push herself up off the floor and tried again. The morning went by fast as they couldn't get enough of watching Arianna walk.

She made her way slowly from Gabi and walked towards Will. With slow tiny steps from the couch, she reached Will and he caught her before she fell.

"That's my baby girl." He wiped away a hear tears and admired his sweet baby girl all day.

They stayed in the apartment a bit longer before they left to the Dimera mansion. It was early afternoon when they reached the mansion. Will rang the doorbell and Sami was there to greet them.

"Hi Will. Sonny, and Gabi of course. And that adorable baby of yours." They walked in and followed Sami in the family room.

"Will!" Johnny ran up to Will and he readied himself to catch him. Sydney sat by the Christmas tree wanting to open her gifts.

"Hey buddy." He walked over to the couch and sat with Johnny on his lap.

"We'll open them later sweetie." EJ came up to her and lifted her up in his arms. They started off with dinner along with a glass of wine. The kids finished eating before the adults and they went into the play area waiting to open their presents.

"I'm surprised to see you here Chad." Sonny exclaimed.

"Yeah well, I wasn't given much choice. Ow." Chad replied back. EJ kicked him in the leg to not say anything more. Will and Sonny looked at each other in confusion. After dinner was finished, they went back into the family room.

"Hey mom, I want to show you something." Will set Arianna on the floor by the Christmas tree. She struggled for a bit, but like before she pushed herself up with her hands. She made her way to the closest person.

"Oh my god Will! She's walking. When did she start walking?"

"This morning." EJ set her back down as he was the closest person she went to. She crawled her way first before she got up and walked to Sami.

"Come to Grammy sweetie." She giggled as she made her way. All eyes were on her.

"I'm happy for you guys." Chad replied.

"Thanks." Gabi said. Cradled in Sami's arms they all made their way to the Christmas tree to open their gifts. They stayed a while longer enjoying the moment. Will made his way to the piano quietly and began playing a few notes.

The rest of the family joined him. Sonny sat beside him with Gabi on the other side holding Arianna, while he played jingle bells and a few other songs. This was the best Christmas so far.
