The next few years, were the best ones. JR and Ari are both a year apart from each other. And you could see the resemblance of each other. Their features were almost similar, you couldn't really tell that JR was adopted. The only difference was the eye colour and the colour of their hair. His adoption didn't matter, because he was a part of a family. And he has the two most amazing fathers. No matter what anyone said to him, he was there to defend himself and his parents.
In kindergarten was when it all started. Only three years old and all he could do most of the time was cry. The biggest grade picking on the youngest was always common in schools. Ari was their in seconds to hug him close. She was also there to defend him when he got scared and stuttered when he couldn't find the words to say.
When Will picked them up from school, he instantly saw that there was something wrong. He quickly picked him up as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. He sniffled in his dads shoulder.
"Shh. It's okay." After soothing his cries, he fell asleep in his arms. He set him in his booster seat asleep and Ari as well. Will hated the fact this happened. He had a feeling that it was going to happen eventually, but he didn't think that it would happen this early.
While making dinner, he didn't hear the door open. And in seconds, Sonny wrapped in a bear hug from behind. Will stopped what he was doing and leaned in his arms. He hummed in contemptment and the worries from that day vanished.
"Something smells good."
"Your favourite."
"Awe. What I do to deserve you?"
"You never stopped loving me. That's what."
"And I never will." Will turned in his arms and gave him a sweet kiss. It was about to deepen, but Will stopped Sonny.
"What's wrong?" He asked with worry. Will told him everything. Sonny gave him another hug and went to go see his champ before dinner was ready. The minute JR woke up and saw him, he jumped into Sonny's arms, and Sonny soothed his cries. He rubbed small circles against the small of his back. Sonny pulled out a small teddy bear that he had given him for his birthday. It was one of his favourites. He hugged it close to him, and his small tears disappeared.
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too. Come here." While holding on to the bear, Sonny carried him down to the kitchen where dinner was almost ready. Ari was sitting in her place when they came down. She bounded her way into Sonny's arms when he set JR down in his seat.
"And how are you doing missy?"
"I'm good."
"And apparently very ticklish." He said as he tickled her stomach and she couldn't stop laughing. In seconds, JR was receiving the same treatment. After five minutes of tickle torture in the living room, Sonny got them up and back to the kitchen where dinner was at the table.
It was their smiles and laughter that made the room alive. Will was glad that JR had forgotten about the day. He looked over at Sonny who couldn't stop making faces and laughing. It's times like these that Will could wish for time to stop for them. And other times, he would relax and contemplate how they had gotten this far.
Will sometimes did wonder why Sonny chose him out of everybody else. Why he turned down invitations from Brian and Brent. But, it comes clear to him that Sonny doesn't want that kind of thing. That kind of life where sometimes you feel lost. Whether it be in that certain relationship and not having any care for anything or anyone.
Sonny sat beside Will as they watched JR and Ari fall asleep in front of the tv with their toys.
"I will never get tired of these two and you." Sonny whispered.
"No? Not even when they fight with each other or have a tantrum?"
"No. You know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I love of them too much. And I will never get tired of you because I love you more than anything." He held on to Will's hand and kissed it as he looked into his eyes. "You're my home. And there is no place I would rather be than with the three most amazing people in the world that I love the most."
"I love you too Sonny. So much. You're my home too. And we have two adorable kids."
"Yes we do." Will leaned onto Sonny's shoulder and he kissed his forehead. They broke a part for a few minutes and they each grabbed the other and set them in their cribs in the room right across from them. They soon, were under the covers in no time.
"The best day of my life was when I met you. I fell in love with you. I am so glad I waited for you. I love you so much."
"I love you too so much." They fell asleep with Sonny's arm wrapped around Will. They chased their way and found each other in their dreams.
