A/N: I know it has been a while since I posted this story. Writers block can be a pain sometimes. Here is the ch. I promised. Thank you for those who are sticking with the story, you are awesome.


The four of them had gone out all day. They spent the morning shopping for a thanksgiving feast. They all came back home exhausted from shopping. However, the same couldn't be said for JR and Arianna. They wore out both of their parents and talked their ears off. They let them walk next door and made sure they held on to each other's hands and didn't let go until they were inside.

"Wow. That was exhausting."

"Tell me about it." Will threw himself on the couch and Sonny followed. Will lifted his legs giving Sonny room and rested them on his lap.

"When do you think we should start?" Sonny looked at him and rubbed his legs.

"Maybe in an hour or so? Oh, that feels good Sonny." He rested his head back into the couch pillow as Sonny continued to give him a massage. He removed his shoes and socks and gently massaged away the tension in his feet and felt them loosen.

"Don't stop." Will moaned at the touch of Sonny's fingers. It didn't matter where his hands were, to him it felt good. Sonny shifted them both on the couch until he was lying on top of Will. Caught in the moment, they didn't realize that an hour has gone by. The sound of a phone ringing got them back to reality.

"Don't answer. Let it go to voicemail." Will replied as they slowed on their kisses a bit. Sonny removed his lips from Will and attached them to his neck.

"Someone's greedy."

"What, I can't have you all to myself?"

"We have all the time in the world for each other." Sonny moved back up and his eyes met with Will's. The phone rang again, and this time Will answered. He groaned and whined at the loss of contact with Sonny.

"Hi mom."

"Was I interrupting anything?"

"No." In his mind, he was screaming yes.

"Good. Because I was thinking that if you need anything else, we can get it for you since we're shopping."

"We already went shopping this morning mom."

"Well, you never know if you've forgotten anything."

"Anything else but junk food is fine. And no chocolate. Well, maybe but not too much."

"You got it. Love you."

"Love you." Will hung up and sat there for a few more minutes before he got up. Sonny got up first and was in the process of picking up their clothes off the floor when he felt a pair of hands on his back sliding down to his waist.

"You know, I'm happy that we're here doing this together. I can't believe it's almost been nine years we've been together for this long. And I'm thankful for having you and our kids in my life." Will replied. Sonny turned in his arms with a smile.

"I feel the same way." They stood in front of each other with just there boxers and tank top.

"We better get dressed and get dinner started." Sonny kissed him twice on the lips before they parted ways. They went upstairs and took a five minute shower and changed into different clothes. Sonny started off with the decorations and Will joined him. They talked and laughed as they went along. Just as they were about to start on the turkey, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Will wiped his hands on the dishcloth after he watched the lettuce. While Sonny was chopping away at the celery.

"Daddy." Arianna jumped in his arms.

"Hi Will."

"Hi mom. EJ. Come in." EJ nodded and came in holding Johnny. With Allie and Sydney right beside him.

"Did you have fun with Grammy?" Will laughed as Sami gave him a warning glance with a smile.

"Yes. We went to the zoo. And I got to go up close."

"Really?"

"Uh huh. JR was scared of the monkeys." She said happily.

"I wasn't scared. I didn't want to go up close." They all walked in as the kids went downstairs to play. The adults moved to the kitchen as Sonny was just putting the turkey in the oven who was a humming a tune to himself.

"Sonny." Although Will was enjoying the sight from behind, he needed him to turn around. He got up and turned to face Will.

"Oh. Hi Sami."

"Hi Sonny. What is that great smell in here?"

"That is the candles that I lit. They smell like pine and some of them have a spicy smell."

"Wow. Oh this is for you." Before taking her coat off she set down a bowl and a bottle of champagne on the shelf.

"You didn't have to mom."

"What, why not? These cocoa covered almonds are amazing."

"So that's what they are." Sonny uncovered the bowl and got a whiff of the cocoa and what seemed like cinnamon.

"Can I?" His fingers were inches away from one.

"Of course you can." Sami laughed at him.

"Oh god, this is so good."

"So, William how is your writing coming along?" EJ asked after he took his and Sami's coat.

"It's going great. Thank you." While Will and EJ were in the den making conversation, Sami was in the kitchen with Sonny.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" She watched him working off his skills in the kitchen.

"Uh, sure."

"You know, I'm glad that we're here. We rarely spent time together in Salem."

"Me too. It's a town full of drama."

"Ha. No kidding." A loud noise came from downstairs and tiny footsteps came running up. JR quickly ran into Will and rested his head in his lap and cried.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?" He lifted him in his lap and sat him up. He shook his head not wanting to tell him.

"It's okay Jackson. You can tell me. What happened?"

"I dropped your favourite cup and Ari yelled at me. I'm sorry daddy." Will gently rubbed his back. His hands went back to covering his face and buried himself in the crook of his neck.

"It's ok Jackson. Shh." His favourite cup being the gold award he won for his writing as an outstanding achievement. He was proud that day. But nothing made him even more prouder than his two amazing kids and Sonny by his side. He moved them on the couch so he was looking at him.

"Hey look at me." He said softly. He gently lifted his chin with his finger and looked in those deep beautiful innocent brown eyes.

"It's not your fault okay. I'm not mad. Okay." He sniffled and wiped his tears with the back of his hand and quietly nodded.

"I love you daddy."

"I love you too. Now go get them ready for dinner okay? It's almost ready." He nodded once more and went downstairs.


"This is amazing Sonny."

"I know right? I make one killer turkey." They all laughed at him. They all sat together enjoying the dinner that Sonny made with Sami's help.

"Daddy can me and JR be excused. We'll be right back."

"Go ahead sweetie." He smiled at her lady like manners as she left the table. And when she held his hand, she was surprisingly forgiving.

"She is becoming to be quite a young lady." EJ replied.

"Thanks. I just hope she doesn't turn out like mom though."

Hey! That was not funny." She threw a glance at him which was followed by a nervous laughter. Arianna and JR came bounding down the stairs, both holding two cards in their hands. She handed one to Sami and EJ and Jackson handed one to Will and Sonny.

"What's this?" Sami looked in her card first and was about to cry.

"Remember when I asked you for papa's and your hand for something?"

"Of course." He looked into his card and had the same expression. Four handprints were painted beside each other. Their hands overlapped in green, orange, red, and yellow paint; their names written on each hand. And on the bottom was written: 'Thankful for my family. For the perfect brother/sister and the best daddies in the world.'

"It's beautiful Arianna."

"We did the same with theirs too." She didn't shy away from telling them what was on her mind.

"And we love it very much." EJ smiled at her. After dinner, the kids went back to playing downstairs. And the adults began cleaning before they sat down to relax.
