Side Note; my fanfiction has not been working right so i apologize. Also I decided to change the time line and have Sonny's funeral a week before this. It will make sense as you read, sorry for the confusion but i don't think our Wilson hearts can take much more. -Pug

Gabi parked the car. The looked back at the kids to find the door open and Ari not in the car. "Ari!"

Chad screamed her name over as he ran out of the car, he slammed the door and the twins woke up alarmed. "What's going on?"

"Ari was in the car a second ago and now she isn't!" Melanie said quickly, and Will ran out of the car. He saw Chad and gave him a look that meant to split up. Gabi went left and Chad with the twins went right, the grounds of the cemetery were like a mile long and they both had a lot of ground to cover.

"Hello?" Tad said as he picked up his phone. Ben, Melanie, Abby and Gabi gave each other a look that meant another girl, seriously?

"What do you mean you guys lost Ari?" Tad started to run, and they followed him freaking out of what he just said.

"You got to be kidding me right now!" Abby was now freaking out as he heard ever third word come out of T's mouth. All she knew was that they didn't know where her god daughter was.

They were already half way towards the cemetery since they were meeting there for the party. They split up and walked by the duck pond and Gabi saw Ari sitting next to a tree she found her sitting next to the day of sonny's funeral. Before she sat next to her she sent a text.

Gabi Hernandez; I found her

Tad Stevens; thx god that's a relief

Abby Deveraux; Where is she?

Chad DiMera; Wat Will said

Gabi Hernandez; Next to the tree I found her last time

Melanie Jonas; Go talk to her

Gabi Hernandez; I am, stop texting

She walked over to get closer to her daughter, she was so strong usually. Didn't cry at the funeral, but when after she laid her rose on his casket she was nowhere to be found. It took the town, an hour to find her and she was at the same spot. She watched the ducks passed while her head was buried in her knees.

Gabi didn't saw a word, just sat next to her. Didn't look at her because Ari didn't like starring. Even as a new born if you looked at her more than a few seconds she would burst into tears. Will and Sonny thought it was funny, but she knew it wasn't.

"Mom?" she whispered so she didn't disturb the baby ducks.

"Yeah baby," she asked, she scooted closer to ari so that she was in the shade and was able to give her daughter a hug if needed.

"I'm sorry," she said, and they jumped into her mom's arms and began to cry. "What are you sorry for?"

"I didn't keep my promise to Papa." She pulled away from the hugged and they walked over to the bench, so they could talk properly. "Tell me the whole story."

"it will take a while," she looked at her toes and Gabi just put her hand on her shoulder and said, "We have all day."

Sonny woke up with a jolt and in a cold sweat. He was having a hard time a hard time breathing so he took his inhaler he got a few days ago. Once his breathing was calming down he looked back at the other side of the bed to find Will still fast asleep, with his blankets off his body.

Sonny laughed and walked over and put the blankets back on his husband which like usual he kicked them off. Suddenly the room began to spin, and he ran towards the bathroom, he made it just in time because he started to still his guts. Except, it wasn't food it was blood, and a lot of it.

Ari woke up from a nightmare and went to get some milk when she saw her father run to the bathroom. She dropped her glass and to help him. She grabbed a cold rag to wipe his face between heaves. The white rag soon turned into a bloody red color. Sonny was radiating heat and he was freezing.

"Papa let me wake Daddy," she pleaded after a half an hour of Sonny puking blood. She grabbed the thermometer from the kitchen and his temperature was 104.2. He shook his head and she was now worried about her father. Once he was sure he was done they washed their hands and headed towards the kitchen.

Sonny was still feeling dizzy but kept it to himself, so he didn't worry his little girl. Using the walls for support he poured her some juice and sat down next to her on the couch. She was drawing a picture of what looked like a monster. She was at that age where she thought there was something in her closet and it was driving Will crazy.

"Nightmare?" she nodded at him and he picked her up and put her on his lap. She was shaking, and he hugged her until she calmed down. He was wondering what set off her nightmares and he looked around the room to see used wine glasses with purple and white liquid at the bottom. Some candy wrappers of chocolate where scattered around the room and a pizza box on the counter, then he remembered.

"Your mom was over, wasn't she?"

"Yeah, she kicked dad out of the living room. So, he went to bed and Auntie Mel and Abby came over," she looked down and said, "They watched some scary movies with this guy with a hockey mast, and creepy clown, and a doll named chucky."

"No wonder your scared," Sonny said then he started to cough violently," I'm okay baby."

"Dad your scaring me.". So am I, he thought to himself, somethings not right. "can I please wake dad?" she said, and he shook his head no

"How about you go to bed and I'll go see your Uncle Daniel?"

"okay," she yawned while rubbing her eyes, "can you tuck me in?"

"Of course, baby," he whispered as he rubbed her back soothingly, "But can you promise me something?"

"Yeah." Sonny nodded and started writing on paper. It was long, pages long. Once he put in in the envelope, he slipped his wedding ring in there as well. He walked Ari to her room and put the envelope on her nightstand.

"If I'm not back home from Uncle Daniel's in the morning, can you give this to your daddy?" she nodded, and he kissed her one the head and started the story that put her to sleep most of the time, the story of how they met."

...

"and then we got married and soon after we had your brothers. And we all lived a happily ever after." She was closing her eyes until the heard screaming on the outside and a gunshot. "Stay hear." Sonny didn't come back so she thought he was on his way to Daniel's house, but he ended up trying to save some people from a nut job with a gun, then he got shot.

Gabi just looked at her daughter as all blood drained from her face. Ari started to tug at her shirt and she pulled out a necklace. It was a simple chain of silver but at the end were two gold rings, Sonny's wedding and engagement ring. The smaller of the two, the engagement ring, was a Celtic braid with a single jewel in the center. the other one, the wedding ring, was a thick gold band with the initials of his new last name and on the inside, was the words, "My Anchor My Life" engraved. The ring was identical to Wills and he was a rec when he lost it the day of the move.

"Ari," she cleared her throat, "why do you have that?"

"Because I can still see Papa because of it," Gabi looked at Ari as she put her hand on her lap and started making circles as if she was holding someone's hand. Ari then see out on of the rings on her fingers and the other on Gabi's.

"Ari what are you-Sonny!" Gabi cried because when she blinked and saw the black-haired goof ball whose grave they were just at was sitting next to their daughter holding her hand.
