Sami offered to help and clean, but Sonny wouldn't let her. Will had done the same thing with Sonny and his mom and didn't realize that EJ started while they had a heated discussion. He tried clearing his throat a few times, but it didn't work, so he started cleaning.

EJ gave the idea of all of them pitching in together. Will thought about it and eventually said yes. But in his mind, he didn't want his guests to feel obligated to work. After they finished, they all sat down in the family room having more than one conversation.

When Sonny got up, he started on the coffee pot. He stood in the kitchen staring at the decorations that he and Will had done that day. He walked over to the refrigerator where he put the card. He couldn't stop his smile and a few tears when he saw the card. Even though every year was different, it was also special in every way.

Although Sonny loved traveling, he loves his family even more. Sonny never thought in a million years that this would ever happen. And he has never been happier. His hands moved over to a picture of the four of them.

It was last year during Christmas. Arianna wore her favourite red and black striped dress that tied to the back with a bow. Her blonde curls reaching to her elbows. JR wore a matching suit as Will's along with the bow tie. They all stood by Santa at the mall for a family picture. This year, he knew was going to be special just like every year.

"Hey Sonny, you okay?" He turned around as Will came up from behind him. He wiped away the small tears that were beginning to form.

"I'm more than okay." Will closed the gap between them with a hug.

"Let's go back before they wonder what happened to us." He helped him bring in the coffee and the sweets.

They moved from the intense conversations to something else. Will finally got the idea of bringing out monopoly and pictionary. It took them a while to decide when the three of them decided on pictionary instead. They were halfway into the game with Sonny and Will in the lead.

"Come on Sonny you can get this." Will encouraged Sonny as time was slowly running out.

"You have twenty seconds." Sami shouted. He went through a bunch of different words in his head. This was one of his favourite games. He loves the guessing and the challenges.

"Ten seconds."

"Uh, business owner?"

"Yes." Will exclaimed loudly.

"Really?" Sonny leaned in for a kiss.

"Now that's what I'm talking about."

"Wow Will. I don't know how you got business owner out of that." Sami looked at the picture and started laughing.

"I'm not bragging, but I'm quite an artist." Will laughed. EJ rolled the dice next and picked the card.

"This one is for all of us." Sonny checked out the card as they both decided on what to draw. Sonny wanted it to be an easy one for Will. As soon as the timer was set, they began to draw. Random guesses were flying around until the right one came from Will.

"Love!" Will shouted. They high fived each other.

"Aww. I love you too." They seemed as if they were sharing a secret between each other.

"That one was way to easy." Sami laughed as she was beginning to put the game away. They could hear the screams coming from downstairs, Arianna's being the loudest. Footsteps came running up the stairs and Arianna ran into Sonny's arms.

"Woah there. You're getting big baby girl."He caught her and set her in his lap. He smoothed out her hair that she inherited from her dad gently. JR came from behind with his hands on his hips.

"My turn with papa." Arianna shifted onto Sonny's other leg and JR joined on the other. The rest of the kids joined them.

"So I think we should get going. It's getting late." EJ replied as he got up, Sami got up as well.

"We should. And we know that you have to get up early." She pointed out to Sonny.

"I don't want to go mommy. We were planning a sleepover. " Sydney whined.

"Next time okay sweetie? You three have school tomorrow and so do they. How about you do it on the weekend? There's still a few more days left. And you can have all the fun you want." Sami knelt eye level with her and straightened out her coat.

"Okay." Her voice sounded defeated but with little hope. Sonny and Will both walked them out. They were happy they got to spend this time together. They both had high hopes that they would do it again. And maybe, they would make a routine out of it. That was an idea that stuck with Will. After they said their goodbyes, Ari and JR grew tired. Sonny walked into the family room to get rid of the mess.

"Don't worry about that Sonny. I'll get to it tomorrow."

"That's fine. I don't mind doing it."

"I know you don't. But it's already past your bed time mister and you work early tomorrow. Besides I don't want you to be late."

"It's only nine o' clock Will. And I don't have a bedtime."

"Yeah well. I have other things on my mind that will make you tired fast." Will said with the wiggle of his eyebrows.

"Someone's eager to go to bed. At least let me help you put these away. Just so you don't have a lot to do tomorrow." He laughed as Will smacked him from behind. Will thought for a moment before he made up his mind.

"Fine." Will huffed. It didn't take them too long to finish. When it had taken them five minutes in the room, they decided to clean the kitchen as well. It took them fifteen minutes in all to finish.

"I think that's a new record." Sonny moved under the covers.

"I think so too. But I'm not looking forward to downstairs." Will slipped off his shirt revealing his toned body.

"We can work on that together. Now bring that sexy body of yours right next to mine."

"Mine is not that great." Will's insecurities were coming to him again.

"Oh come on Will. You have a body of a wrestler."

"Really Sonny? You're exaggerating just a little bit." Will was beside Sonny under the covers.

"I'm never exaggerating when I tell you everyday that I love you. And when I tell you that you're amazing. And no matter how old we get, nothing is ever going to change that."

"I love you too." His voice cracked and was quiet. His hand gently caressed the side of his face before his lips touched his. Will cuddled closer to Sonny and wrapped his arms around him as they found their way to sleep.
