"Oh my god. Sonny." Sami almost shouted and hugged him.

"It's been a while. When did you guys get here?"

"We got here yesterday. I didn't know that you guys would be here. But I'm happy. Now that we're neighbours."

"Me too." Sonny came along with Will to see his mom that morning. And boy, what a morning it was. The house became a mess in seconds, as the kids began playing with the toys.

"These two are adorable. They look like you each day Will."

"Thanks mom. But I won't take all the credit."

"They look like both of you. I'm so proud of you." Sami was close to crying when Ari looked up at her.

"Why you crying grandma?"

"Because, I am very happy."

"We more than happy too. Love you lots." She puts down whatever she was doing and went up to her and hugged her. They were surprised at her reaction.


"Papa still can't catch me." Ari ran around the room with Sonny right behind her. Sonny finally caught up to her and held her by her legs as she dangled upside down laughing.

"Hey Will, what do you think we should do with this one?"

"I think we should put them with the fish." Will came in as he was holding his sister the same way.

"No daddy." She screamed out playfully. Johnny and Allie caught up to them and playfully wrestled with each other on the floor. Johnny was in fits of giggles as Allie began tickling him. Will sat Sydney down as he went to get JR who wanted to be held.

"Hey you." Will cradled him in his arms. He had the biggest smile. Will could swear that he saw Sonny in his smile.

"Tickles for Sonny." Will heard one of his sisters shout. When he walked back into the living room, they were all on top of Sonny.

"Will, I need your help." He gasped.

"Sorry. But my hands are full." Will gave in as he laughed at Sonny trying to grab for air.

"Can't breathe." Finally, Sonny gained the upper hand as he began tickling Ari, then Sydney and the rest of them.

"Okay kids, that's enough for now." It took them about five minutes to finally stop. They were all gasping heavily. Sonny leaned against the couch and watched as Will was playing peek-a-boo with JR. He smiled remembering when they did that with Ari when she was just a baby. They still do that. It was out of habit that they would do that each time.

It was a Saturday afternoon and Sonny had the day off. Sami and EJ had given them the kids to look after as they each went job hunting. Sonny never took Saturdays off, but now he felt the need to do it. Spending the weekend with his family is more important.

Every now and then, he would check up on the coffeehouse in Salem. It was doing great and everything was a hit. Especially at the other side of town where they also expanded. The new Common Grounds in almost every place they expanded, is a bigger competition for others. Most people were actually beginning to get their coffee from them instead.

Sonny felt like he was in cloud nine. On certain occasions, he would sit back and contemplate at where he's at. And there is nothing that he would ever change.

"Being with you is the best thing ever. No other relationship that I have been in, could ever give me what you give me. And we gave each other the best thing. We have Arianna Grace in our lives. Like I said before, what's mine is yours and what's yous is mine. For the rest of the days of our lives, you have my heart, and I have yours."

Sonny thought to that day after Will had proposed to him. They were both on their knees staring intently at each other and from time to time, their gaze would fall on the others lips. They couldn't stop the smiles that they had for each other.

"So, what does everybody want for dinner?" Will asked. And he knew it was a mistake on his part.

"I want chicken."

"I want spaghetti." They were all shouting out random things.

"How about fish?" He looked at them smiling and they all gave a weird look.

"I have an idea. How about some grilled chicken breast and a salad. And after dinner we can go shopping and find snacks and eat them while we watch a movie." His ideas were always the best. They all agreed by shouting out at once.

"YES."

"You have no idea how much I love you right now."

"I think I do." They leaned in for a sweet kiss that lingered for a few minutes.

"I love you Sonny."

"I love you too Will."

Sonny started out on the chicken breast while Will started on the salad. They gave each of them a colouring book and pens and markers to draw with.

About an hour later, Will announced that dinner was ready and they raced each other. JR was up in his seat already, and ready to be fed. The chicken was cut into small pieces for them. They each talked about school and that they couldn't wait until school was done. Which was for a while.

They all chose the food they wanted as they went shopping. Will would occasionally sneak a healthy snack in the cart. There wasn't much considering.

"Uh, Will, it looks like half the store is in that cart." Sonny whispered.

"I know." Sonny explained to them that they can always come back and that the food is not going anywhere. They all whined, but eventually gave in. However, Will's food choices remained in the cart.


After they had settled down from all the chocolate, and the popcorn they had while watching the movie, they fell asleep. From being the cleanest, spotless house in the morning, it turned into a jungle of a mess.

As Will was cleaning up the rec room, he noticed the fruits and vegetables were left untouched. He just smiled and shook his head. He grabbed Ari carefully in his arms and put her to bed. He walked up to Sonny as he cradled JR in his arms.

"They looked like they had a lot of fun today."

"I know. I did too. And I know you did."

"You know it."

"I'm gonna check on my sisters and brother."

"Okay. I will be down in a minute."

"Okay." He kisses his cheek and went downstairs. Allie woke up before them and saw Will coming close to them.

"Hey, you're up."

"Yeah. Will?"

"What's up?"

"I really missed you. And I'm happy that we're here. Can we do this everyday?"

"We're neighbours right? We can do this any day." She smiled big and went up to him to hug him.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Finally, an hour later, Sami and EJ came. Sydney and Johnny were still asleep, but they woke up ten minutes later when they heard voices. They were ready to go home, but they wanted to stay.

"How did everything go?" Sami asked happily.

"Everything went great. Tomorrow is your day to have our kids by the way. We let you have the whole day." Will smirked.

"Will Horton." His mom scolded.

"That's Will Kiriakis-Horton to you." She playfully slapped his arm. The kids stood beside them ready with their coats on.

"Thank you again for everything."

"Of course. Anytime." The five of them walked the few steps next door.

"So, what are we doing tomorrow?"

"Just something that I have planned for us."

"Care to tell me?"

"Nope. That's why it's called a secret." Will walked off upstairs laughing. Sonny quickly followed him.
