Sonny slams the door behind him, determined to find Will. To clear the air between them. All Sonny can think about is that look in Will's eyes when he said there was nothing between them. How could you be so dumb, Kiriakis, Sonny thinks. Will's eyes always give him away and this time was no different. The hurt that radiated through those beautiful blue eyes knocked the wind out of him. It was that moment that Sonny knew he had really screwed things up. And Sonny was at a loss on how to fix it.

Sonny remembers back to one of their late night conversations while closing up the coffee shop with Arianna asleep on the couch. Will confiding in Sonny about his childhood.

"I've never told anyone about this before."

"So, why are you telling me?" Sonny had asked, confused and honored.

"I don't know," Will said blushing. "I just feel like I can trust you. And I don't feel that way about most people."

Sonny shakes his head as he gets into his car. Will finally places trust in someone after not being able to trust people for so long and what do I do? I make him feel like he should have never trusted me. Just to appease Neil. What the hell was I thinking?

Sonny is at a loss as to where to begin looking for Will. And he figures driving around town would just be a waste.

"He has to come home at some point, right?" Sonny asks himself.

Sonny decides to drive over to Will's apartment and wait for him to get home. He has to come home at some point and he did say he had to pick up his daughter. That would at least buy him some time. Sonny needed to make a stop somewhere else first, before going to Will's apartment. Waiting him out. Sonny had planned to sit outside Will's apartment until he got home. No matter how long it took. He was not going to give up on Will and their friendship.

"What are you doing here?"

Will's voice snaps Sonny out of his stupor. He looks up from his seat on the ground and smiles at the sight of Will holding his daughter. Nothing warmed his heart like the sight of Will with his daughter. But then the tone of voice Will used stuns him a little. He wasn't expecting the anger.

"Look, Will…" Sonny says sadly.

Will hold his hand up and shakes his head. "Not now."

Arianna lifts her head to see who her Dad is talking to and begins crying.

"What's wrong with her?" Sonny asks with concerned.

"It's really none of your business," Will replies with flecks of anger.

The anger stabs at Sonny. He's surprised at how much it hurts for Will to be this mad at him. Sonny sighs and says,"Will."

"Look you made it everything perfectly clear today. I get it."

Will is trying his best to keep it together. To not let Sonny see how broken he feels by his words today. He also doesn't want his daughter to be affected by this. Will feels his body tighten and he is sure Arianna can feel the change in his demeanor when she speaks up.

"What I do, Sonny?" Arianna asks through her tears.

Sonny feels like he was just punched in the gut. He feels doubled over in pain at the little girls words. A girl he has fallen absolutely in love with. Something he never thought he would ever say about any female. But this one wormed her way into his heart and there was no letting go now. Arianna's blue eyes, identical to her father's, were filled with tears and Sonny knew that he was probably responsible for this. Sonny stands up from his spot against Will's door and tried to approach them.

"What do you mean?" Sonny replies, hoping his voice doesn't faulter at the words. He could feel his voice shaking as he said them.

"Daddy says you don't like us," she whispers. "You don't want see me or daddy."

Sonny feels like there's a death grip on his heart. He is trying his best to be able to breath, but it is beginning to feel like an impossible task. Sonny leans his back against the door, just to remain upright. Not only is he heartbroken over Arianna's words, he is getting angry at Will for making his daughter believe that he could ever hate her.

"You told her that?" Sonny asks Will, innocuously.

"Look," Will says, as his voice begins to rise with anger. "I really don't want to talk or see you right now. And clearly you can see how upset my daughter is."

"Well, that is too bad," Sonny retorts. "We are going to talk and I won't take no for an answer."

"There is nothing left to be said," Will whispers, seething. "You made yourself perfectly clear today."

Sonny is beginning to get frustrated with Will for being so stubborn. "I am not leaving until we can talk. So, if you won't talk now then I will just sit right here until you decide to talk to me."

Will sighs knowing that Sonny doesn't plan on giving up. But right now, his mere presence is so unbelievably painful for him. Will is feeling like he has no choice in the matter.

"Fine."

Sonny steps to the side so Will can open the door to his apartment. He opens the door and sighs. "You have got to be kidding me?"


Brian stormed out of Sonny's apartment fuming at Neil. He had forgotten how self-centered he could be. He was, yet again, questioning their friendship. But Brian would have to deal with that later. Right now he needed to hunt down his boyfriend to try to see if he could salvage the damage that has already been done to their relationship. Brian doesn't remember which grandma Will was going to pick up his daughter up from. He seemed to have too many family members to keep track of. Instead he just goes over to the apartment and waits for him there.

Brian is going over everything that has gone wrong in the last couple of months with Will. And all the mistakes he has made in the relationship, which have been a lot. Brian knows a huge point of contingency has been his feelings towards Arianna. He still feels like she is a little brat who sucks up all of Will's time, but if he can't get over that soon there will be no more him and Will. Especially with her connection with Sonny. Sonny was doing everything in his power to separate them. He had no clue what Neil saw in this guy. Brian did know that Neil needed to do a better job at fighting for Sonny because right now he was only pushing them closer. Although, his comments today did help put a wedge between the two. Brian was angry that Neil felt the need to hurt Will in the process, though.

Neil had texted him that Sonny was now out looking for Will to repair things. This is exactly what neither one of them wanted. They needed to find some way to break up this budding relationship before they remained on the sidelines for good. That was why they were meeting at Sonny's today, to come up with some strategy or plan to make this happen.

Brian began to hear voices outside the apartment. The conversation was muffled by the door, but he could tell that it was Sonny and Will talking.

"Of course they are together, again," Brian says to himself.

A couple of minutes later the talking stops and the door opens. Brian is looking up expectantly at the door, like a lost puppy who finally found his owners. But that look and feeling quickly fades.

"You have got to be kidding me?" Will whispers, exasperated.

That wasn't the reaction he was hoping for. Brian had hoped that a part of Will would be relieved to see him. But he just looked exhausted and annoyed and angry.

Arianna turned her head to see what her Dad was looking at. As soon as she saw him, she began screaming. "Noooooooo!"

"Sweetie," Will asks, concerned. "What's wrong?"

Arianna refuses to look at Will, she just hides her face in his neck and continues to scream. Her grip on her father tightens and her body is shaking from sobs. Sonny moves from behind Will to see what all the commotion is about. Brian and Sonny's eyes lock, each exchanging steely gazes.

"What is he doing here?" Brian asks with venom.

"Brian, I really can't deal with this right now," Will says with a sigh.

"But you can deal with Sonny?" Brian whispers, hurt.

Will is quickly becoming overwhelmed with everything. Arianna screaming in his arms. Brian and Sonny trying to talk to him, trying to plead their cases. He doesn't want to deal with any of it right now. But he also feels like he has no choice. He has to deal with at least one of these guys tonight. And he knows which one that is.

"Brian, can't you see how upset Ari is right now?" Will asks him.

"She's always upset, though."

"When you're around, yes."

"So you are saying it is my fault that you're daughter is upset right now?"

"Well, clearly your presence isn't helping."

"But she has no problem with Sonny, I presume." Brian glares at Sonny and continues. "Maybe Neil was right about you. There is no room for either of us when the two of you are together. We just get tossed aside like yesterday's trash. Have you two ever thought about how this is affecting us?"

"BRIAN," Will yells. "Not now. I will talk with you later. I can't deal with this right now. I need to get Ari settled down and you sure aren't helping matters right now."

"Fine," Brian replies through clenched teeth. "But I am done playing second fiddle to this guy. Will, you need to figure out what you want because I am tired of feeling tossed aside."

Brian gets up from the table and walks out the door. When the door closes, Will lets out the breath he has been holding. He looks down at his daughter, who is finally beginning to calm down.

"Baby girl, can you tell me what's wrong?" Will asks as he walks to sit down with her on the couch.

Sonny is still standing by the door, unsure of what to do or where to go. He doesn't want to upset Arianna any more than she already is. Or Will, for that matter.

Arianna is sitting on Will's lap, facing him. Her tears are finally stopping. She shakes her head at Will's question, then leans into him.

"Ari, you need to tell me what has you so upset. Please?"

Arianna looks over at Sonny and whispers,"He still mad at me?"

Sonny walks over near the couch where the two are sitting. "What makes you think I am mad at you?"

"Daddy says so."

"Ari, that is not what I said," Will replies sternly. "I said that we probably won't be seeing much of Sonny anymore, right?"

Arianna nods her head, leaning back into her father. Sonny looks at the two of them on the couch and he can't help but smile. As tense and emotional as things are right now, nothing seems to make Sonny happier than being around the two of them. Sonny slowly walks so that he is in front of Will and Arianna, then kneels so he is at her level.

"I was never mad at you, sweetie," Sonny whispers with a smile.

Arianna turns to face him and looks at Sonny skeptically and says, "You promise?"

Sonny nods his head and says, "Cross my heart." Sonny draws an X over his chest with his finger. This makes Arianna giggle.

"You feeling better, sweetie?" Wills asks.

"Brian?"

"What about him?"

"He coming back?" She asks, sadly.

"Not tonight."

"Yes. I feel better," Arianna quips and nods her head vigorously.

"Okay!" Will exclaims. "How about I lay you down in bed so Sonny and I can talk?"

"Do I have to?" Arianna moans.

"Yes," Will replies, sternly.

"Sonny?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Help tuck me in?" Arianna asks with hopeful eyes.

"Sure," Sonny replies. "Is that okay, Will?"

Will nods his head. He gives Arianna a kiss on the cheek and hands her off to Sonny. Arianna holds tightly around Sonny's neck and giggles.

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"You coming?"

"I thought you wanted Sonny to tuck you in."

"Both!" She replies with glee.

"Ok. But no funny business. You need a nap. Plus Sonny and I really need to talk."

"Fine," she says sadly.

The three of them walk towards Arianna's room. "But Daddy! You said cuddly time. You promised."

"I did say that, didn't I?"

Arianna nods her head and smiles. Will smiles back at his daughter, then points Sonny in the direction of his bedroom. "Cuddle time until you fall asleep, okay?"

"Sonny cuddly, too?" Arianna asks Sonny.

Sonny looks at Will, turning shades of red. "Sweetie, I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Pweeeease," Arianna begs.

"It's up to you if you want to join us, Sonny," Will replies, trying to hide his smile.

As hurt as Will still is with Sonny, the thought of laying in bed with him and his daughter makes his heart race. He can feel himself getting excited at the thought of sharing a bed with him. Sonny is scared to lay in Will's bed. Afraid for how he is feeling at the thought of laying in bed with him. Sonny can feel his heart begin to race at the idea of cuddling with them. But he is also reminding himself of everything that has happened today. How he hurt Will and yet, he is inviting him into his bed. Although it is all Arianna's idea. As much as Sonny would love to hop into bed and cuddle with the two of them, he knows it's not right. He knows it is innocent idea, but they both are still with other people. Who knows for how long at this point, but they are in relationships. And as much as the idea excites him, he knows it wouldn't be fair to Neil or Brian.

"No," Sonny sighs. "I will let your dad do all the cuddling this time. But next time, I am all yours."

Will feels a sense of dread. He kind of wished that Sonny would've joined them in bed, but he also knows that Sonny made the right choice. At least, one of them was thinking with their head. With everything going on with Neil and Brian, it would just make a complicated situation even more complicated.

"Okay," Arianna says, sadly.

Sonny sits her down on Will's bed, kisses her on the forehead and walks out of the room. Sonny feels proud of himself for remaining strong and not giving into his desire to be in bed with Will. But now he has to calm himself down after that. It shocks Sonny how excited he got just at the thought of laying in bed with Will. I definitely need to figure out what the hell is going on with me right now. Why do I feel like this whenever I am around him, Sonny thinks.

Will watches Sonny leave and has mixed emotions. He is still so hurt by everything that happened and he isn't sure if they can trust him or his intentions. But he was also hoping to be near Sonny, although he wasn't quite sure why. He has never felt this level of excitement just being around another guy. Will has been trying to convince himself that Brian just wasn't giving him what he needed, so any guy would make him feel this way. But he is starting to think that isn't true. That there is something about Sonny that has made him question everything he has with Brian. Maybe making him realize all this time he has settled for Brian. He pulls his daughter to him and she cuddled into his body. Will is trying to figure out how he feel about Sonny, but with everything that has happened he just feels so confused.

"Love you, daddy," Arianna whispers, sleepily.

"I love you, too, baby girl," he whispers back.
