The next morning was routine. They both found their way to stick it out with everyone and they made it easy on themselves. Sonny had woken up that morning with Will's arms wrapped around the middle of his stomach. He left for work early that morning, so that he was able to come home early.

There was one thing that was bothering Will that morning. It didn't really bother him as much as it made him feel overly ecstatic at Sonny's declaration last night. Will made a decision that afternoon and went to Common Grounds with Ari. When Will walked in, Sonny had a huge smile on his face and walked from behind the counter and went to them.

"How are my two favourite people doing?"

"We are doing better, now that we're here." Will looked into his eyes and saw a glint of happiness through his eyes and the smile that was probably painted on his face all day.

"Good. Because I was beginning to worry."

"Why?"

"'Cause I don't know what I would do without either of you." Sonny leaned in for two quick kisses before they sat down. Before they got comfortable, Sonny's phone rang and answered.

"Hello.'

"Is this Jackson Kiriakis?" The woman on the other lined answered.

"Speaking." Sonny got up so he didn't have to wake Ari. After a brief five minute phone call, he sat back with Will.

"You will never guess who that was." Sonny beamed happily.

"Who was that?" Will asked. He knew he wasn't that good at guessing.

"That was Social Services. So get up and lets get going."

"What already?"

"Yes. Now come on mister. I'll get Chad to cover for me. Family is more important." Sonny said that with so much eagerness and blissfully.


A long day it was, but it was definitely worth the wait. Ari and JR were already sleeping and Will was coming home with dinner from Chez Rouge.

Sonny walked into the kitchen after a small nap that he had. He walked towards Will and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"I got your favourite."

"Mmm. Right now you're my favourite. You'll always be my favourite." Will laughed and turned around in Sonny's arms. He wrapped his arms around Sonny's neck and played with his ear, which was now Will's new favourite. Not only did he love playing with his hair, but he loved playing with his ear.

"I love you Sonny."

"I love you too." Just as they were about to kiss, the cries started.

"I'll get that."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Besides you had a long day."

"We both did Will." Sonny laughed.

"Yours was longer." Will said as he was already in the other room.

Later in the evening, Arianna Grace was sleeping soundly in her crib while Will and Sonny sat in the living room with their heads touching gently. Will got up to the sound of JR instead of Ari. He went to the nursery room to check up on him. Will was happy with his new family. The love that Sonny has for him and for his daughter, was the best thing for him.

Sonny was in the kitchen finishing off the rest of the dishes. He smiled at the few toys that cluttered the floor. He grabbed them and put them in Arianna's and JR's play thing in the living room.

"He's cranky today." Will said as he went to make her bottle. Sonny laughed gently and held his arms out.

"Maybe he just needs his daddy to make him feel better."

"Maybe." Will watched Sonny as he gently rocked him in his arms. His cries turned into cooing sounds as he watched his with a big smile.

"You are so good with Ari and JR you know that?"

"So are you. Who ever said that we could never make good parents?" Sonny smiled.

"Um.. Nick Fallon."

"Other than him." Will was ready to count off the other people that thought they would never do it. Sonny stopped him abruptly.

"Will, no matter how many of them thought that we could never do it, it does not matter any more. You know why? Because they don't know us the way we know each other. We deserve to do this as much as Gabi and Nick. I don't want to talk about them right now. I don't want to bring back old memories. We got this far together. And we will keep on going no matter what." Sonny had replied before Will could say anything. Will quickly closed his mouth and just smiled. During their talk, JR had quietly yawned and was asleep in Sonny's arm.

"I love you Sonny."
