Two

"I saw Paul first," Sonny greeted him the next day while they were sitting at the kitchen table making the blonde freeze in place but he continued, "I didn't seek him out but when I went to get coffee I walked through the square and he was there with John for some photos with these kids."

"Oh really," he said picking up his cup and drinking the coffee trying to hid the way he was feeling.

"I told you so that there are no secrets and stop thinking that I want him because I don't," Sonny told him giving him a look, not one that was scolding but more one that was annoyed with constantly having to explain himself.

"He kissed you two times," Will said upset still.

"The first time he kissed me I was so surprised that I didn't even really have time to process it and we were having problems. The second time I pushed him away and tried to explain to him that I was married but he left before I could. So I went to his hospital room and told him I was married but he continued pursing until finally I shut him down for the last time," the dark eyed man explained softly trying to keep his anger in check.

"He still wants you though," the blonde stated like it explained everything.

"Yeah I'm sure he does but I don't want him. I told him I was going to work things out with you and he said he would stay out of the way. For all we know he will leave town after that benefit he signed on for. He isn't the only source of our problems," Sonny explained to him hoping that his husband would stop with the whole Paul thing.

"I know I'm sorry," Will apologize looking down at the table.

Silence filled the room and air between them but it felt like something had shifted between the married couple. Their marriage wasn't fixed, they had their problems to work through still which included the cheating but for the first time in a while both of them believed it could be saved. The question that ran through Sonny's mind though was how big of a part his husband's insecurity would play with everything. Will had been willing to write a huge article about Paul and his mother to get the man out of town because he believed it would save their marriage when it probably wouldn't considering the cheating was only one of many things wrong with their marriage. The question that rang through Will's mind was the fact that he wasn't good enough and how Paul being out of town would help but no story was worth the cost of his marriage.

"I have to go to the club. I still need to figure out what to do with everything," Sonny told him breaking the silence filling the room and standing up.

"Maybe you should talk to Victor about his club and see if he still wants you to have it," Will suggested softly and continued before his husband could say anything, "I'm just saying Sonny that maybe it wasn't just the fact you don't want a hand out that had you turning it down."

Sonny turned to face his husband trying to figure out what to say but he couldn't because it was something he had been thinking about while he had been in Phoenix. He could see the look on Will's face that told him the blonde was afraid of being yelled at and instead he sighed because he felt bad for not seeing it before but they had a lot of shit to work through and it wasn't going to be fixed by one peaceful morning conversation.

"I'll think about it," the dark eyed man said instead.

"Okay," Will stated surprised that Sonny hadn't immediately turned down the idea but it was a good surprise.

He looked up when Sonny put a hand on his shoulder squeezing it and their eyes met. Will wanted to say something but he didn't think know what to say really so instead he smiled. Sonny wasn't ready to make out with his husband, as cruel as that was but he wasn't so angry or cruel that he couldn't see how hard this was for the blonde. It was hard for them both and he was still a little angry but he loved this man enough to fight for their marriage. Sonny leaned down placed a kiss on his husband's forehead that felt like a promise and left without another word. Would any promise that either of them made be enough to save their love?

~Saving Love~

Sonny took a deep breath and couldn't believe that he was actually here. His pride was going to be hurt he already knew that but he needed to make a living and it seemed taking a hand out from his uncle was the only way to do that. Sonny's pride was hurt but if Will was strong enough to not write an article in order to save their marriage then maybe he should be strong enough to wound his pride a little and take what his uncle had offered, if it was still available.

"Sonny," Henderson greeted with a smile as he let him in.

"Hey Henderson. Is my Uncle Vic in?" Sonny asked running a hand through his hair nervously.

"Yes he is," the butler answered holding an arm out.

Sonny walked into the main room and smiled when he saw his uncle standing up to greet him. The last time the two of them had seen each other they had fought and then he had been stabbed. The two only talked briefly before he left and Sonny was a little afraid that maybe the pride the two of them had would come into play and ruin everything again. He was a little surprised when he was pulled into a hug but welcomed it and pulled back to look at his uncle.

"I heard you were back from Phoenix," Victor said by way of greeting.

"Yeah I needed a break," Sonny said trying not to give away the problems in his marriage.

"My boy I think we both know that there was more to it. I mean it's not everyday your husband cheats and your attacked only to be left for dead," his uncle told him bluntly giving him a look.

"I should have figured you would know," Sonny stated with a sigh feeling a little defeated.

"Everyone has their problems Sonny the only thing you have to decide is if all the hurt you feel is worth giving up your marriage for," Victor said giving some advice hating to see his nephew in pain but also wanting him to be happy.

"I love Will so yes it is but I'm not here to talk about the disaster that is my personal life," Sonny told him suddenly feeling nervous.

"So why are you here?" his uncle asked curious.

"Is the offer to run your new club still there?" he asked afraid of the answer.

Sonny shifted from foot to foot trying not to show his uncle, the man he looked up to, how nervous he really was but he was failing and he knew it. The pride that both of them had caused problems between them and he just hoped that it didn't ruin their relationship. Sonny looked at his uncle and saw him with a glint in his eye that he couldn't explain. He had a feeling that no matter what was said or what the outcome things were going to change between them though he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

So I want to make something clear. The problems to Sonny and Will's marriage is both their fault. It is not totally Will's fault and it is not totally Sonny's fault. Will cheated and he not only has to own up to it but he has to stop going after Paul because it might just destroy his marriage. Sonny needs to sit down with his husband and explain to him that he did not propose to him because he was some placeholder. People need to stop interrupting them. This story isn't about blaming one person totally but at the same time I am not going to excuse Will's cheating like some fans seem to do. I hope you guys enjoyed.

If you have prompts you want to send me then message, PM or comment. I have a jealous Sonny fanfic planned and two other stories as well.
