Soul Mates

Chapter 27

As soon as Sonny sat back down next to Will, Marley started reaching for him. "Da-da." She called out, holding her arms out for him to take her from her daddy.

Sonny took her into his arms, laughing when she started patting him cheeks with her little chubby hands. He almost started to cry when he looked over and saw how happy Will was with their daughter.

"So she really does call you daddy?" Adrienne finally said something. "I honestly didn't think she called you that."

"Yes, she calls him daddy because he is her daddy Adrienne."

"How do you feel about it?"

"I'm happy that Marley loves Sonny enough to call him daddy because I want him to be her daddy. Biology has nothing to with it. You should know that better than anyone."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you love all of your sons equally? And do they all call you mom?"

"Yes."

"Then why can't Sonny love Marley as much as I do? And why can't she call him daddy?"

"I don't understand what this has to do with me and my kids."

"Sonny told me about your family long before we ever became a couple. When I told him about my ridiculous family upbringing, he decided that we would compare notes. He told me that you are not Alexander's biological mom and that you and Justin adopted Joseph and Victor when you thought you couldn't get pregnant. So what Marley calling Sonny daddy has to do with your kids is that you have three sons that don't have one strain of DNA in common with you but you love them nonetheless. They call you mom and they love you. The only difference is that Sonny and I are gay. And you don't like me."

Will could tell that he had stumped Adrienne with his knowledge of her family. "I understand now what you meant. It's true I don't care for your family. Sami drives to distraction but you are not your mother just like Justin is not his uncle. I should have given you the benefit of the doubt instead of badmouthing you from the beginning. I know you love Sonny. I just don't want to see him get hurt." When she started to cry, Will got up from the couch and kneeled down in front of her.

"I love your son. He and Marley are my world. I know that a lot of things have happened since he and I have been together but that doesn't mean I don't love him. He is the best man in the world and I am the luckiest."

Sonny stood up and walked over to his mom carrying Marley. "Mom, would you like to hold your granddaughter?"

"After everything I have done and said, I don't deserve the privilege."

"I think holding her is the first step in the right direction."

"Are you sure Will?"

"Yes. This is what I have wanted for almost a year. I want you to be a part of our lives as well our daughter's life. You are her grandma."

"Leave it my Jackson to make me a grandma at my age. I love you Sonny and I'm sorry for everything."

"That's okay mom. As long as you have accepted our marriage, then it's water under the bridge. But if you start trying to control us again, then you'll have to stay away."

"I'm not going to do that anymore. I know that I've hurt your trust but I'm going to work hard at gaining it back." When Marley held her arms out to Adrienne, she willingly took her granddaughter in her arms.

"See mom, Marley wants to give you a second chance. So why wouldn't her parents want to do the same."

After spending an hour with Will, Sonny and Marley, Adrienne bid a farewell and left for home.

"Do you think we can trust her Will?" Sonny asked.

"I'm willing to try if you are." Will rocked Marley to sleep while Sonny sat back down on the couch and finished his beer.

"How can you trust her so easily honey? Look at everything she has done to try and come between us."

"But she's your mom Sonny and I know that no matter what she loves and I hope regrets what she's done. That's why I want to give her another. For you. You are the only reason why I'm giving her another chance." Sonny kneeled down in front Will and their daughter.

"I love you so much."

"And we love you too." Will kissed Sonny and then he carried Marley to her bedroom to put her in her crib.

Later on that night, they were lying in bed in each other's arms when the phone rang. Sonny reached over his beautiful husband and answered it. "Hello."

"Sonny, this is dad. I have some news for you and Will."

"What is it dad?"

"I know that you want to be able to give Will a child and you kind of can't because you're a man but I have the next best thing."

"What dad?" Sonny was starting to get frustrated with his dad.

"How about using a surrogate to carry a child that would have Will's and your DNA."

"Is that possible?"

"I think so. I found a couple that want to help same sex couple conceive a child. With all the breakthroughs in medical technology these days, I'm sure they can do something that would make the baby have both of Will's and your DNA. Just think about and talk it over with Will. See what he thinks about it."

"Okay dad. I'll talk to Will about it." Sonny hung up the phone and turned to Will, who was still wide-awake.

"What did your dad want?"

"He was telling about a couple who like to help same sex couples have children through surrogacy."

"Why would he call us about them?" Will sat up, leaning against the headboard.

"He knows how much I would love to be able to give you a baby and he knows he can't because I'm a man so he came up with the idea that we could use mine and your stuff to make the baby." Will started laughing the way his husband was getting embarrassed.

"Sonny, you can talk about our sex life with my dad but you can't talk semen?"

"Are you making fun of me young man?"

"Hell, yes."

"Fine. He thinks that we could somehow combine our semen together to fertilize the egg to make our baby."

"But darling, it only takes one sperm to fertilize one egg. How are we going to convince mine and your sperm to do it together?"

"I don't know. Remember this was my dad's idea. I don't understand it myself but if there was a chance that you and I could both be the biological father of child, wouldn't be awesome. Then we could say genetically that this was ours."

"I love you so much you handsome man. You make me happier than I deserve." Will straddled Sonny's lap and started kissing him. "Too bad I can't get you pregnant. That would be a sight. You carrying my child." Will felt himself getting hard at the thought.

"Are getting turned on thinking about me being pregnant?" Sonny asked.

"Make love to me Sonny."

"Don't you ever get enough?" he asked as Will started removing their clothes.

"Never. As long as my heart is still beating, I will want your body, now and forever."

"Then get ready to have yourself pleasured mister because I want you now and forever." When they were completely naked, Will started riding his husband. "I love you Will."

"And I love you Sonny." Then they made love until Marley woke up, demanding a diaper change.
