Soul Mates
Chapter 28
They sat side by side across the table from the couple that wanted to help them. "Can I ask why you want to help us?" Will asked the woman.
"Well Mr. Horton-Kiriakis, my husband and I have never really wanted children of our own but we've wanted to help couples who either couldn't have children or are same sex couples. I think that you and your husband are a wonderful couple. You seem completely devoted to one another and Mr. Kiriakis told us that you have daughter but would like another child." Sonny looked from the woman to Will and back.
"Actually, Marley is biologically Will's daughter but I have adopted her and she's calling me daddy already. Don't' get me wrong, I love her to pieces but sometimes, I wish I could give him a child that would be ours."
"Okay. Well, if you decide to do this, all you will have to do is pay for medical expenses. We don't want any money for this honor of giving you and your husband a child."
"Can we think about it for a little while and discuss some before we give you our answer?" Sonny asked.
"Sure. There's no timetable. As long as I'm fertile, it can happen. Have a nice day gentlemen." Her and her husband shook both Will and Sonny's hands and left the room.
"So what do you think dad."
"It's up to you and Will. If you and he want another child, then I say go for it. They seem like honest people."
"We're going home to think about it because if we do this, there's no going back." Sonny and Will left Justin's office and headed for home. Will called his mom and asked if Marley could stay the night with her and EJ. Of course, Sami was ecstatic at the idea of keeping her granddaughter overnight.
They were lying in bed after a good solid hour of making love when the phone rang. "Hello." Will answered.
"Hey Will. This is Gabi. I need to talk to you and Sonny. Can I come by the house? It won't take long." Will looked down at Sonny, who was already showing signs of sleep.
"Well, we both pretty tired. Can't you just tell me what this is about over the phone?"
"Okay. I have heard that you and Sonny want to try for another child."
"Yeah, we want to give Marely a brother or sister." Just hearing himself say the words made it more real.
"Well, I have a proposition."
"What?"
"How would feel if your next child was biologically Marley's brother or sister?"
"What do you mean?"
"I know you and Sonny have already talked to a woman who wants to be a surrogate for y'all. I was thinking that instead of using her as a surrogate, I could be your surrogate."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am. If I'm the surrogate, at least Marley and her sibling would be biologically related to each other."
"In all honesty Gabi, why would you think we would let you do this after all the problems we've had with custody of Marely?"
"I know. I haven't been very good to you and Sonny about Marley. I know now that you and he are the best parents for her. I know that Sonny loves Marley like is his own but I also know that he wants a child that has your DNA as well as his. I want help y'all to make up for the mistakes I've made."
"Let me talk to Sonny about it and see what he wants to do. It'll be up to him Gabi. If he doesn't want to trust you enough to let you do this, then I'm going to go along with him. After all, he is my husband and I'm going to go along with him regardless. I'll let you know what we decide."
"Okay. And if he decides he can't trust me, I'll understand. I wouldn't want to trust me either if I had done to me what I did to you and Sonny."
"Take care Gabi."
"You too Will." Will hung up the phone and crawled back underneath the cover with his sleeping husband.
That night Will dreamt of him and Sonny at the beach with Marley and their son, Jackson Robert Horton-Kiriakis. Their son had his blonde hair and Sonny's brown eyes. He was a handsome child. Will hoped his dream came true and that he and Sonny had a child together."
The next morning when Will woke up the glorious smell of breakfast but before he could get out of bed, Sonny walked into their bedroom carrying a tray with the meal on it.
"Good morning there handsome. You weren't fixing to get out bed before I has the chance to serve you breakfast in bed, were you?" Sonny sat the tray on his side of the bed, walked around to Will's side, and sat down next to him.
"Baby, you didn't have to do this. I would have made you breakfast."
"Why can't I do something for my wonderful husband?"
"Because you are still recuperating and you don't have to this. You are the breadwinner of the family. I should be taking care of you."
"Why do you say that I'm the breadwinner and not you?"
"Because you own the club and before that you owned Common Grounds. And during all that time, you have had the Kiriakis money to help you out. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why are you with me? You could have any man you want and you chose me. Why?"
"I love you. You own my heart Will, forever and always. With every guy that came before you, I was just going through the motions of being alive. With you, I'm no longer going through the motions, but I'm living. I have a gorgeous husband, a precious daughter and we're talking about having another child. Money can't buy the kind of happiness that you give me. You are my life, my reason for breathing. If it weren't for you, I would still be climbing mountains looking for happiness. That's not true happiness. Looking into your eyes when we make love is true bliss. Watching our daughter her first breath after being born was a blessing. I live for your love. You are the perfect man for me. You are my soul mate. You were created for me."
"I love you so much Sonny."
"And I love you." Sonny sat the tray on the nightstand so they could make love.
Will ran his finger through the syrup on the plate and drizzled it all over Sonny's chest and stomach. Then he proceeded to like it off, savoring it when a drop of the sticky substance dripped onto Sonny's erection.
"If you keep on doing that, we're going to need a bath." Next, he took some of the strawberry jam and smeared it on said erection.
"I loved your taste before but now I think it will taste wonderful." He lowered his mouth down to Sonny's erection and slowly licked the jam from it. "Delicious. I could get used to eat breakfast off your hot body."
"I'll remember that for future reference. Give or receive?" Sonny kissed him on the mouth, tasting a hint of himself beneath the taste of the syrup and jam.
"Good. I think this morning, I want to give." Will smiled before lifting Sonny's legs onto his shoulders and sliding his own erection up inside his husband.
After they made love, they headed for the bathroom to clean their breakfast off of each other. They were standing beneath the spray of the shower, scrubbing each other thoroughly when Will decided to tell Sonny about Gabi's call.
"Gabi called last."
"Really. What did she want?"
"She said she found out about us wanting to have another baby and she volunteered to be our surrogate."
"What?"
"Could we actually trust her after everything she did concerning Marley's custody?"
"She said that this was her way of making it up to us. She's waiting to hear back from us. I told her that I would talk to you but if you didn't want to trust her, that I would have to go along with you."
"What did she say to that?"
"She said that she understood. She's waiting to hear back from us. So what do you want to do?"
"Why would she want to do this for us?"
"She said that she thought that we would want our kids to be biologically related, as in having the same mother in common."
"When we get dressed, call her and tell her to come over so we can give her our answer."
"Okay. I love you Sonny."
"And I love you Will." They kissed before they finished showering.
When they were dressed, Sonny sat down on the couch and watched as Will dialed Gabi's cell number.
"Gabi, we have our answer. Can you come over to our house?"
"Sure. I'll be there in twenty minutes. Later."
"Later." He hung up the phone and joined his husband on the couch. "How do you think she'll react when she hears our answer?"
"I don't know. You can never tell about Gabi." They made out while they waited for Gabi to show up.
