Sonny came home late that night missing everything. As soon as he came in, he saw that Will was finishing cleaning up the mess from the birthday party. He finished putting away the dishes and moved to finish off the living room. He swiped away any oncoming tears from his eyes. He didn't bother looking up.

Sonny hung up his coat and set down his bag. He sighed softly as he watched Will. He turned to hear footsteps of the dog coming downstairs and greeted him. After petting him a few times, he walked towards Will.

"Will?" He looked up towards Sonny for a few seconds and walked away.

"Will, babe, talk to me please. I'm sorry." Will turned around and faced Sonny.

"Really Sonny? You're going to apologize to me? I'm not the one who needs apologizing. And it's not going to do anyone a world of good." Will was about to turn around, but Sonny stopped him.

"Will, please. Just tell me what I can do." He took a hold of Will's hand. He brushed the back of his hand with his thumb and gently laced his fingers between his. Will thought for a moment. As he stood there in front of Sonny, he wanted to forgive him. But a part of him was telling him not to.

"I'm sorry Sonny." Will slipped his hand away and turned around. Sonny just watched him walk away. He felt stupid for doing what he did. And he couldn't understand why.

Sonny sighed quietly and hung his head low as he went upstairs. He checked in on Arianna and JR. He gave a short smile and closed the door quietly. He went to his and Will's bedroom and closed the door. After brushing his teeth and changing, he went under the covers and grabbed the book that was next to him on the night table.

He looked up and saw Will coming in. He set the book down, trying to get in more than just a sorry. But Will didn't say anything, let alone look at him. He watched as Will grabbed his pillow and a blanket from their room and left.

Will set them out on the couch and rested for a bit. He flipped through the channels aimlessly, with nothing to watch. There wasn't anything good on. He flipped through a few other channels and caught an old episode of Lost.
He let himself get carried away as it was an episode from the fifth season and it wasn't that great as the first three were. His mind wandered off into the morning when they woke up.


He was the first one to wake up. He jumped out of bed and into his parents room. He crept up in between them and wrapped both his arms across the other. He faced towards Sonny, giggling softly. Sonny opened his eyes slowly and groggily.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing up so early huh?" Sonny lifted up in bed bringing him fully into his arms.

"I couldn't sleep." Jackson said with a huge grin.

"I bet I know why." He snuggled closer to Sonny.

"I love you papa."

"I love you too buddy." Will woke up next to find the two of them fast asleep. He sighed softly and a huge smile crossed his face. Hearing him wake up, Sonny's eyes blinked and looked over at Will.

"Good morning."

"Morning." They both whispered softly.

"He takes after you, you know." Will laughed quietly.

"I know."

"I'm going to put him back to bed. It's still early." Will lifted JR into his arms and took him to his bedroom.

"Happy birthday buddy." Will whispered as he set him under the covers. Now that Will was awake, he had other things on his mind as he went back to their bedroom. He crawled up to Sonny who was still awake.

"You know I have a hard time falling back to sleep after I wake up." Will laughed softly and with a wiggle of his eyebrows. He leaned down to kiss Sonny who silently agreed. The sheets covered them from head to toe.

A few hours later, they both woke up once again with Will resting against Sonny's chest. And his arm encircled his body. He lifted his head and looked at Sonny with his blue adoring eyes.

"I love you Sonny."

"I love you too." Once again, they felt someone crawling in between them. They laughed quietly.

"I wonder who that could be." Will got up and faced JR who giggled softly.

"Come here you." He brought him between him and Sonny. He cuddled close to them. Arianna came in next, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and jumped onto the bed. She moved to Will's side as he hugged her tight.

The kitchen was a mess as the four of them tried baking a cake and making cookies. JR was excited when he got to help Will. Arianna wanted to help as well, and soon enough Sonny joined in as the flour was on them instead of in the bowl.

"Will, you missed a spot." Sonny replied laughing as he was getting rid of what was on his face.

"Where?" It was at that moment he had a chance. He moved his lips to his nose.

"Right here." He mentioned every time and kissed away the remaining chocolate mess on his face. His lips moved to Will's lips and their mouths moved in rhythm. They stopped and rested their foreheads against the other.

"If we're going to be doing this every time we make something, I think we should bake everyday." Will laughed.

"Oh really?"

"Daddy look." Arianna said as she stood off to the side admiring her own skills. There was about eight perfectly made cookies on the pan ready to be baked. There wasn't that much, as they kept on eating the cookie dough.

"Those are perfect honey. Ready to put them in?"

"Yes." She exclaimed happily. He set the oven on and put the timer on. She ran off to her room excitedly and came out followed by JR who couldn't stop laughing. They both made their way downstairs chasing after the other. Sonny just chuckled at them. He turned over to Will who had his back to Sonny and faced the oven. He wrapped his arms around him, and Will gladly invited the warmth and leaned in his embrace.

"Why don't I just buy a cake and I'll get whatever you need." Sonny replied as he kissed the back of Will's neck. Will closed his eye, loving the feeling.

"That sounds like a good idea. And then I'm going to be needing you after." Will said as he pushed himself against Sonny.

"Mmm. I like the sound of that." They laughed quietly.

"I'll be back."

"Okay." Sonny grabbed the keys off their hook. He gave Will a quick kiss and left. The door closed and opened five seconds later.

"You forget something?" Will shouted from the kitchen.

"No. But I came right on time. What is that smell?" Will turned around and saw his mom instead.

"Oh, hey mom. That is actually the smell of the cookies that we baked." He took them out and they were perfect.

"Woah. Those are huge. Did you seriously make these?" She reached to grab a piece from one and it crumbled.

"Yeah. Well, we all did." She laughed at him. He looked over the counter and saw the six bags that covered it.

"Seriously mom? What is all this?"

"Well, I bought a cake, some candy, and a few presents and..."

"Wait, did you say you bought a cake?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Sonny went to get one."

"Oh. I guess he will have two birthday cakes."

"Grandma!" JR jumped into Sami's arms.

"Hey. Oh your getting big. Guess whose birthday is today?"

"Mine!" He exclaimed happily.

"Yes it is."

"Did you get me something?"

"Jackson." Will scolded him giving a stern look.

"Sorry." He put his head in his hands.

"It's okay. And I did get you something but it's a secret for now. Okay?" He nodded and he quickly put on his happy smile.

"Grandma!" Arianna came running up to Sami. She set JR on the counter and grabbed Ari in her arms.

"Hey sweetie." Will smiled at the three of them as they walked into the living room to play. He stayed in the kitchen for a while thinking about earlier. He looked up at the clock as Sonny should be home by now. His forehead creased as he began to worry.

"Oh mom. What have you done now?" He thought aloud when he heard a loud scream coming from inside. He just shook his head and went to see what was going on.
