A/N: so sorry for the late update. It has been a hard week for me as my uncle had passed away on New Years Eve. He always believed in me and my writing and knew that one day I would become a writer. He was always the best and always will be in my heart.

Also the news of Chandler leaving made me sad as well. And I know I am not the only one. However, I will still be continuing on with my stories. I will be thinking of him as I write my stories.

Thank you all for the amazing reviews. You are all the reason I will be continuing on with this story as well. I hope you enjoy this ch. and the next ones to come.

"I miss daddy." Arianna was cradled in Sonny's arms after they had a late dinner and a long shift from the Club.

"I know. Me too sweetie." He kissed the top of her head. Will was gone for two weeks at another signing for his book. And Sonny was at home almost everyday. But when he had to close late, he would sometimes bring the kids with him. And other times he would leave them with Sami and EJ.

"Can I sleep with you papa?" Arianna lifted her head and looked at him with her piercing blue eyes she inherited from her father. It was hard to resist those beautiful eyes.

"Of course you can honey."

"Me too?" JR replied next to him.

"You too. Now, how about you both get your pjs on and brush your teeth and we will get ready for bed." Sonny said.

"Okay." They both left, happy that they would sleep with him. Sonny sighed heavily as he pushed away the stress filled day and got ready to sleep with his two favourite people in the world. As soon as he closed the light to the bathroom, he looked towards the bed which was already uncovered and the blankets were a mess. He just laughed and shook his head at them.

"How about a story?" Sonny asked as he climbed into bed with them holding on to their favourite book.

"Yes." Sonny was settled in the middle with Ari sleeping on one side and JR was sleeping on the other. He was just a few pages away from finishing, when he felt their bodies slump against his. Sonny set the book on his bedside and closed the table lamp and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Sonny came home late and exhausted. He threw his coat on the chair in the kitchen, not bothering to hang it up. He figured that he could hang it later. He went to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water.

He knew he didn't have to worry about Arianna and JR, as they were just next door. But to him, it felt far and he worried about them. Even without them, the house felt empty. He decided to call Sami just to check in on them. Even though he called about ten times today.

"They're doing fine." Sami got straight to the point.

"How did you know I was going to ask you that?" He chuckled.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because you called fifteen times today to ask me that question. Wait, make that sixteen times."

"Okay, so I worry a little."

"A little? Has Will called?"

"Not today no. He will be back in a few days though."

"Okay. Well let me know when he calls. And don't worry, they'll be fine."

"I will. Thanks." He smiled into the phone. They both hung up at the same time. Sonny went upstairs to their bedroom and decided to take a shower to wash away the exhaustion. What he didn't know, was that there was someone in the house that he wasn't expecting.

As Sonny was taking his shower, he felt a cold breeze for a second. He turned around but the door was closed. He felt the water streaming on his face and he wiped his eyes open.

"Oh my god Will. You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing home so early?" Sonny shouted.

"Well that's one hell of a way to be greeted."

"I'm happy you're home. But you scared me." The water cascaded down between them.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to surprise you." The look in his eyes was a worried and defeated look.

"No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted at you like that. Now, come here and let me show you how much I missed you."

"Mmm. Gladly." He smiled and leaned in towards Sonny leaving no barrier between them.

They made their way from the shower to the bed not breaking the kiss. They smiled happily in the kiss, glad to finally be home.

"I thought you were supposed to be coming home in two more days." Sonny spoke through kissing.

"I was. But my flight came early and I was home sick. I missed my family so much."

"I missed you too. So much." Will chuckled as Sonny gently pushed him on the bed. He moved backward and Sonny followed him with a smile.

After two long hours in bed, Sonny had gotten up to grab two bottles of water to quench their thirst. They laid in bed talking and teasing and just staring at the other. They took a light nap, but they didn't realize the time when they woke up.

Sonny laid in bed thinking of the past couple hours. He smiled like a Cheshire Cat and snuggled deeply waiting for Will to come back from the bathroom.

"So, are you going to tell me how it went?" Sonny replied leaning on his arm. Will came back into the warmth of the bed.

"I thought you would never ask." Will laughed. He told him everything and each time there was excitement building in his eyes. Sonny loved seeing him happy.

"I'm getting kind of hungry." Sonny replied later.

"Me too." As soon as he said that, his stomach growled of hunger. Sonny's stomach followed.

"You sound like you haven't eaten in days."

"So do you. I'll go find us something to eat." Will pulled on his sweats and a t-shirt.

"You better hurry." Will just laughed at him and went downstairs. He walked into the kitchen, whistling and searched the refrigerator for something to eat.

"Daddy!" Arianna and JR screamed as they ran towards Will in a big bear hug. They didn't quite let him go just yet. They clung to him like glue. They walked home earlier with their heads hung low, sad that their dad wasn't home yet. It has been almost two weeks since Will has been gone.

"Oh. I missed you both so much." Hearing the shouts of excitement, Sonny pulled his clothes on as well and went to see the commotion downstairs.

"You were gone for too long daddy." Ari sniffled into his neck.

"I know sweetie. But next time, you're both coming too."

"And papa too?" JR looked at him. Will looked up into Sonny's eyes.

"And papa too."
