Thanks for everyone you reviewed my story, for everyone who read it. I hope you enjoyed it though it wasn't too lovey-dovey (i find love scenes somehow very hard to write in Englisch) - THANK YOU ALL - means the world to me that you read what I bring down.

Epilogue:

"I now pronounce you married in the eyes of the law. You may kiss each other."

With the kiss started the jubilation. Cheering and clapping filled the room. Ariana was looking to Sonny and Will and suddenly felt all war inside. She was so happy that she was here, able to witness this.

Later, when everyone sat down and the soup was about to be served Ariana stood up. She carefully hit her spoon towards the glass, she raised.

"Hi."

She had to clear her throat. She had practised this speech in front of her mirror many times over the last couple of months but standing here, where everybody could see her, she felt her knees getting weak.

"When Sonny asked me to hold a speech I didn't know what to say. And that was mostly due to this man over there, who made it very clear, he wanted to hold the only speech. And as I learned over the past months, you should be scared of a DiMera."

She raised her glass to Chad, sitting across the room. She saw his smile. Will chose him to be his best man and she had heard a lot of stories about Chad and his family.

"As you know, I arrived in this family only half a year ago and it wasn't going as smoothly as I hoped it would. But maybe that is the Horton blood in me."

She stopped, giving the audience a moment to smile, laugh or dwell in memories.

"In that six months I learnt a lot about Will and Sonny. I learnt how loving both of them were. Even after I got Will into jail, into court and afterwards rejected him as my legal guardian, I still was welcomed as warm as I had never imagined. I wasn't raised that way, you should know. I was raised believing that there are different kinds of love. I was raised to separate love by the people who love. When I saw Will hugging Sonny at the court I knew that everything I had learned had been wrong. There can't be a separation between kinds of love. This love over there," she was know directly addressing Will and Sonny, looking into their eyes. "is the love I dream of. A love where both go through heaven and hell without losing sight of each other. It is a love where one puts the other one first, even though it means to step a back. This is a love that stayed strong for over 17 years. It is a love not limited to two persons only. The moment Sonny opened the door and saw me on that doorstep, he let me in. And already at the next moment it felt right. I felt home. Will and Sonny haven't only found love but also have they found home. Please raise your glasses to Will and Sonny. Please raise your glass to their love. Raise it for my two dads!"

Though her last words caused chattering throughout the room, she heard people shouting 'To Will and Sonny'. Happily to have finished this speech she said down.

"I knew you could make it."

Dylan next to her, reached for her hand and raised it to his lips pressing a kiss on the back of her hand.

She shook jokingly the head. She looked at him, smiling. Thats when she pointed to her lips.

"You need to kiss me here, idiot."

Dylan laughed and kissed her. It was a passionate kiss but one that was suited to this environment. It was the first time she had Dylan brought with her. Will and Sonny had known about him for several weeks know but this was kind of a test whether he could deal with her family.

Suddenly she heard a cough. Dylan abruptly ended the kiss and stood up, giving Will and Sonny the hand.

"Congratulations, Mr Kiriakis and Mr Horton."

Sonny and Will smiled at Dylan. Ariana looked at them eagerly, trying to figure out their next move. When Will and Sonny didn't say anything else she raised one eyebrow. That was it? This awkward situation?

"Your girlfriend here thinks we are weird. Please call us Sonny and Will."

Sonny smiled at Ariana's boyfriend. Dylan seemingly relieved breathed out and sat down again.

"Not so quickly, here Sonny."

Will bowed down hugging Ariana.

"That was a wonderful speech, thank you, so much." He whispered in her ear and she heard that he was close to tears.

"Being Ariana's 'dad'", he stressed that word, letting Ariana know how grateful he was for that little gesture, "I will find you when you break her heart, I hope you know that."

Will said with a voice not even close to his. It was so strict, that Ariana immediately knew that it was just a joke. But Dylan not knowing Will as well as she, didn't know it one bit. She saw that he looked worried.

But Sony just tapped Will's shoulder, leading him to turn around.

"Sorry to destroy your illusion but you are probation. There won't be any 'finding anybody' too soon, honey."

He lay his chin on Will's shoulder, looking straight to Dylan. He winked, telling Dylan that they were just joking around, playing with him. Dylan who got the gesture punched Ariana slightly in the upper arm.

"It's your luck that I have a husband who takes that good care of me."

"For forever and always, Mr Horton-Kiriakis. You won't get rid of me any time soon."
