Two months after Arianna Grace was born, Will and Sonny had their own house with a white picket fence like they have always wanted. Sonny surprised Will by giving him a key. Will, who used that key to open the door to Sonny's apartment, was confused that the key didn't work. When Sonny did open the door, the apartment was empty.
"Sonny, where is all the furniture? And why did the key not work?"
"I had some suppliers taking it out. And that key does not work because it opens a different door. We just came so I could leave the old key." Sonny replied happily noticing the look on Will's face.
"But I thought we were finally going home."
"We are going home. The three of us are going to be living some place better."
"Where is this place exactly?"
"Well, let's just say, it's bigger than this studio apartment and it is what you've always wanted." Sonny left the apartment leaving Will standing there trying to process what Sonny just told him.
"Can you at least tell me?" Will said as he caught up with Sonny in the Square. Sonny laughed at his confusion and enthusiasm. That is the one thing that Will loves about Sonny. He keeps on surprising him when he least expects it. Even when he has had a bad day he manages to make him feel better.
"It's a surprise. I can't tell you. You have to figure it out."
"Can you at least give me a hint?" He said as they started walking.
"No."
"Please?" Will gave him the cutest puppy dog eyes. His blue eyes sparkled like diamonds and it was hard for Sonny to look at him when he did that. He would instantly feel guilty and his eyes made him feel like he was putty in Will's thoughts. Sonny gave him the biggest smile and laughed at him.
"Okay. Fine. But I will only give you certain clues. I don't want to give it away or else it would ruin the surprise."
"Fine by me. Now what's the first hint."
"Before we do this. I have to tell you, the hints are going to be hard. So you have to try. But if you can't, than it's going to have to wait until next week."
"Okay. Now first hint." Sonny laughed at how persistent Will is.
"Okay. Other than family and a relationship, what is the one thing that you've always wanted?" Will took a long hard guess on this. It wasn't easy on Will when he was young. Sonny knew he had it tough, but with him by his side, he knew that Sonny was his missing anchor his whole life.
"I have always wanted to be a part of something. I wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere. Somewhere that I could call home." Will looked at Sonny in response to see if he answered that right.
"That's one."
"Yes. How many hints are there anyway?"
"Two more."
"Really? I though there would be more that would lead me to my surprise."
"I'm not giving you a lot of hints man. Three hints is all you are getting. So quit complaining." Sonny gently smacked Will's arm.
"Fine." Will said grumbling.
"Next hint. What are your most four favourite colours?"
"That's easy. Blue, Dark green, but not too dark sort of like a pastel like green. Black, and Grey." Sonny gave him another smile.
"One more. Who is the one person that has loved you your whole life, but you didn't know they were there the whole time to catch you when you fall?"
"You?" Will gasped. A part of him felt like he did not have to think on that one. He felt like he already knew.
"I will always be the one to catch you when you fall." Sonny whispered in his ear.
"So. Did I get them all right?"
"Yes."
"Now when do I get my surprise dammit?"
"Patience Will."
"Oh come on before I start grabbing you by full force." Sonny laughed at Will's lack of impatience.
"Ok. Close your eyes."
"What?" Will asked in bewilderment.
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes."
"Then close your eyes." Sonny wrapped a blindfold around his eyes and veered them into the direction of where the house was. They were walking by apartments and didn't want Will to be suspicious while walking by houses. They rounded a few corners until they stopped.
"Why did we stop? Sonny?" Will reached out for him. But he was not there.
"I'm right here."
"Where?"
"Just follow my voice." Will stopped from where he stood. He could hear Sonny's voice in front of him. As he walked closer, Sonny finally grabbed him and held him in his arms.
"Are you ready?" Sonny whispered.
"Yes." Sonny slowly took the blindfold off and waited for Will's reaction. When he didn't say anything, Sonny thought it was a mistake.
"Will, are you okay?"
"Okay?"
"You don't like it do you?" Sonny lowered his gaze and was about to turn away with his hand in Will's.
"Sonny, being okay doesn't describe how I am feeling right now."
"We can leave if you want. I mean the realtor said we don't have to move in if we're not sure yet."
"Sonny listen to me. This is more than just a surprise. This is what I want Sonny, with you. I never knew that you would do something like this." Will walked over to the small white picket fence that wrapped around the house from the front and back. Both of which were big, but not as big as the yard at the kiriakis mansion or the DiMera mansion. Will walked over to Sonny with his arms outstretched.
"Are you sure Will?"
"I have never been more sure in my life right now. I am married to the most amazing man and I am glad to call him my partner for life." Will leaned towards Sonny and smiled into the kiss.
"We're going to have to pick up Arianna Grace from your mom's soon." Sonny said after they came up for air.
"Can we just stay like this for a few minutes?"
"Yes we can. Oh, before we do, care to take a look inside?" Will didn't have to think as he bolted right inside. The colours that Will had mentioned, were the colours of the painted walls of the house. Each room had a different vibe and different colour. Each room radiated with so much electricity and was filled with sparks of perfection. The one room that caught his attention, was the nursery room. The pastel like green colour was painted on one wall and a wall paper of princesses filled the other. The crib was by the papered wall and a chair by the window that overlooked the view of the park near the Square. Sonny walked into the room where he thought Will might be. He heard him cry and rushed by him when he nearly fainted.
"You okay Will?" Sonny was now crying himself as he leaned against the wall and held him close to him.
"This is perfect. I love you so much Sonny. With all my heart. I love you."
"I love you too Will. The three of us are going to be happy. I can promise you that." They laid there for a while holding on to each other for dear life. Will had never been this happy, and was glad that he had Sonny to do this with and to spend the rest of his life with.
