Sorry for the update delay. I accidently erased chapter 5 and had to rewrite it. Hope you all enjoy this. Thank you for all the positive reviews.
Soul Mates
Chapter 5
The moment Sonny walked into their house, he knew something was wrong with Will. "Hey babe. How has your day been today?" he asked as he leaned down to kiss Will on the mouth.
"Let's see, my daughter has been abducted by her mom and her crazy step-father so how do you think my day has been." Will knew he was being mean to Sonny but if he was going to get his daughter back safely, he needed Sonny to want to leave him.
After all, he could always explain everything to him after Marley's safe return, he just didn't know if Sonny would want to listen to him by then.
"I'm sorry Will. I know that was a stupid thing to ask." Sonny walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of red wine. "Would you like some wine?"
"Do you really think getting drunk is going to help matters any Sonny?" Will asked.
"Having one glass of wine is not getting drunk Will. Why are you being like this? I know that Gabi and Nick kidnapping our little girl is upsetting but I'm here for you."
Sonny joined Will on the couch but before he could get cozy with him, Will stood up and walked away from him.
"Way to state the obvious Sonny. Of course, having my daughter taken by her psychopathic, bigoted step-dad is upsetting to me."
"Did you just hear what you said Will?" Sonny asked while he watched Will pace back and forth across their living room.
"What did I say wrong now Sonny?" Will was frustrated and Sonny didn't know why.
"You referred to Marley as your daughter. You've never called her just your daughter. She's always been our daughter until now. Why is that Will? Why are you suddenly leaving me out of the equation?"
Will knew that Sonny was too smart to not catch on to what he was doing. But if he wanted Marley back, then he had to end things with the love of his life.
"I've got an idea. Why don't you have a child of your own and see if you want to share him or her with me. I want my daughter back Sonny and if me referring to her as only mine bothers you then you know you don't have to stay here. You can always leave."
Sonny couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Are you ending things between us because I'm upset about you calling Marley your daughter instead of ours?"
"No, I'm ending it because I'm tired of you expecting me to put you first. My little girl should always come first. You told me when we got together that you never wanted to come between my daughter and me. Well, guess what, I agree."
"Where am I supposed to go?" Sonny couldn't believe that Will was actually kicking him out of their home.
"Why don't you call your mom and dad and ask them if you can live with them? I'm going to see my Grandma Marlena. Do you think you can be out of here in a couple of hours?"
Sonny turned away from Will so he wouldn't see the tears in his eyes, threatening to flow down his cheeks.
"Sure. Give me two hours and I will be out of your hair. Matter of fact, it will be like I was never even here." Sonny swallowed the last drop of his wine and listening as the man he loved walked out of their home.
The second he heard Will's car crank up, he pulled his wallet out of his pocket and looked down at the family picture of him, Will and Marley.
He pressed the small photo to his chest and started to cry as he walked into their bedroom. He sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled out his cell phone. It rang twice before someone answered.
"Hello."
"Hey dad. Do you think you could come to the house and pick me up?"
"What's wrong Sonny?" Justin asked, worried about his son.
"Will has kicked me out and I need a place to stay. Do you think I could come stay at the mansion?" Sonny hated asking his dad if he could come home but he had no choice.
"I'll be there in twenty minutes. Are you okay Sonny?" he asked.
"I will be, dad, I will be." Sonny hung up the phone and started packing up his clothes.
The second Will walked in the front door, he knew that Sonny was no longer there. The love of his life was gone and it was his fault. He silently prayed that Sonny would forgive him when this was all over and they had their daughter back.
He walked into the bedroom and sat down on Sonny's side of the bed. "I'm sorry Sonny. I will make it up to you. I promise." He said to nobody because nobody was there.
Will laid down on the bed, pulled the covers up over his head and cried himself to sleep, missing Sonny and Marley more than he ever thought was possible.
Will don't know how long he slept but when he woke up and rolled over to kiss Sonny awake, he remembered that Sonny wasn't there anymore.
As he was getting out of the bed to go take a shower to get ready to go out, his cell phone rang.
"Hello." He answered after the third ring.
"I can't believe you did it. I would have never thought you would give up your Greek lover boy. I guess you really do love Marley."
"Yes, Nick, I love my daughter. I love her so much that I hurt the one man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with just so I could get her back."
"And you are going to get her back. Matter of fact, Gabi and I are coming back into Salem as we speak. You'll have your daughter back with you within an hour. Oh by the way, in order to keep her with you, you have to stay single."
"What? That's crazy Nick."
"Haven't you heard Will? I am as crazy as an outhouse rat. You don't want to screw with me Will. If you go against me, you will lose. Think about it. You have more to lose than I do."
"So I can never fall in love again if I want to keep my daughter? Is that what you're saying?"
"As long as you don't get with another man, Gabi and I will leave Marley in your care." Nick hung up without saying anything else to Will.
