Hey guys! This will be my only update this week. Sorry. But I hope you all enjoyed all the updates last week. I will be spending the weekend in Chicago, so I will not have much time to write/update. But I will do some more when I get back. And if anyone else will be at the event in Chicago this weekend, let me know and maybe we can meet up!

On a side note, this story will be wrapping up in the next few chapters. I wanted this story to only be about Will and Sonny meeting and getting together. But a few people have expressed interest in a possible sequel to this story. I will leave it up to all of you if that is something that you would want me to do.

As always, thank you so much for all the reviews and love that you have shown. It really means a lot that you guys love this story.


"Sooooooonny!"

Sonny groans as he hears someone calling out his name. He's not sure why someone would be coming to see him this early in the morning, especially on his day off. He cracks open his eyes and realizes he's not in his bed. And this is not his apartment. It takes Sonny a second to figure out where he is at. Then it all comes flooding back to him. Sonny smiles at the memories of last night.

His date with Will and Arianna. He realizes he never made it home, which explains the stiff neck and the backache. Not like he is complaining or anything. Because last night was amazing. It was everything he had hoped it would be and more. A part of him still feels like it was all a dream. But last night was better than any of his dreams.

But now Arianna is screaming his name. Then giggling. Then screaming his name again. Not the most ideal way to wake up.

"Arianna," Will whispers to his daughter. "Leave him alone. Let him sleep."

"Why here, daddy?"

"Uh. He was too tired to make it home last night. That's why he was sleeping here."

"You sleep on couch."

Will usually doesn't mind his daughter's inquisitive nature, but now is not one of those times. He isn't sure how to answer this question or what to even tell her.

Will remembers last night with a smile. He and Sonny falling asleep on the couch after a lot of talking and even more kissing. Will licks his chapped lips, savoring the memory of Sonny's lips on his all night long. His daughter didn't need to know all the details of what happened after she went to bed and the real reason that Sonny was still here this morning. Although, she did catch them cuddled up together on the couch this morning. Sonny's head was resting on Will's chest and Will's arm was draped around Sonny's shoulder.

"Uh. Yeah. We fell asleep watching tv. Now go wash your hands, so you can eat."

"TV off?"

Crap, Will thinks to himself. It's moments like this that Will wishes his daughter wasn't so smart and observant.

"What's with all the questions this morning, sweetie?"

Arianna shrugs her shoulders and asks, "Sonny eat breakfast?"

"Yes. When he wakes up, he can have breakfast. Now go, missy!"

Before Arianna scampers off to the bathroom, she checks in on Sonny again. She decides to crawl up on to his lap and poke him, which causes him to flutter his eyes open, again. Sonny was actually listening to the whole conversation between Will and his daughter. He just thought they were absolutely adorable together. And he didn't want to interrupt their conversation.

"You wake?" Arianna asks, wide-eyed.

Sonny nods his head and whispers, groggy,"yeah."

"Daaaaaaaddy!" Arianna yells out. "Sonny wake!"

"Arianna, what did I tell you about bothering him?" Will asks, adamantly.

"Sorry," she whispers, eyes downcast.

"Did she wake you? I'm so sorry."

"No, it's okay. It was getting late anyways."

Sonny looks at his watch to see the time. "It's 6:30? Really?"

"Yeah. Sorry. She's an early riser," Will laughs.

"Apparently. I try not to see this time of day when I'm off."

"Yeah. Sorry about that again. We are about to have breakfast. Would you like to join us?"

"Absolutely! What's on the menu?"

"Scrambled eggs, french toast, and bacon."

"Wow. What a feast!"

"It's Arianna's favorite. And since today is her last day here..." Will trails off.

"Last day? Is Gabi coming back?"

"Yeah," Will replies, sadly. "She will be back in the morning. She will be here first thing tomorrow to take her back home."

"Oh, did you want to spend the day alone with her? I can leave."

"No," Will whispers, grabbing Sonny's arm. "Don't leave. Please. I want you here. Ari wants you here."

Sonny smiles at Will and replies,"good. I didn't really want to leave anyways."

"All done!" Arianna exclaims, running into the kitchen.

Will picks her up and places her in her booster seat. Then he starts preparing everyone's plates. They all sit down and eat, then begin discussing their plans for the day.

"What would you like to do today, sweetie?"

"Zoooooo!"

Will laughs and looks over at Sonny,"She's been begging me to take her to the zoo for weeks now. Actually, she's been begging me to get you to come with us to the zoo, to be more exact."

"Oh, really?" Sonny asks with a twinkle in his eyes. "You want to take me to the zoo, Ari?"

"Yup!" Arianna nods her head. "Show you elfants, panas, and fishies."

"Oh. Well, I would love for you to show them to me!" Sonny smiles at Arianna.

Sonny looks over at Will and whispers,"Does she know?"

Will shakes his head and whispers,"no. I have to tell her today. Last time didn't go so well."

"Are you using me as a decoy?" Sonny teases.

"Maybe," Will says, sheepishly. "Do you mind?"

"If it means I get to spend the day with you two, then I don't mind at all."

Will diverts his attention back to his daughter. "Okay, how's breakfast, Ari?"

"Fabrites!"

"I know they're your favorites. It's going to be a daddy/Ari day. Do you mind if Sonny joins in on the fun?"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!"

"I will take that as a yes," Will laughs.


After everyone is showered and dressed, they leave to go to the zoo. Will offered Sonny his shower and clothes for the day instead of taking Sonny home so he could do all that there. The three of them arrive at the zoo and the weather is absolutely perfect. Ari had picked out a bright pink sundress with matching shoes. Since Sonny is more capable of doing little girls hair than Will, Sonny fixed Ari's hair for her. Both boys had picked out t-shirts and shorts to wear, since they were going to be outside all day.

Will couldn't help staring at Sonny in his clothes. There was something so incredibly sexy about seeing Sonny in them. How the material of his dark blue T-shirt clung to Sonny in all the right places. And how Sonny's ass looked so enticing in his black shorts. If Arianna wasn't around, Will would've absolutely pushed Sonny up against the wall and have a repeat performance of last night.


Arianna is singing in the backseat as they pull into the parking lot. She can barely contain her excitement as Will gets her out of her car seat. She almost races off when Sonny grabs her. She impatiently waits for her dad to catch up to them, a few feet away from the car. When Will meets up to them, Arianna grabs both Sonny and Will's hand, so that she is in the middle of the two.

"Where to first?" Sonny asks

"Elfants!" Arianna shrieks.

"They are her favorite animal of the moment," Will laughs.

The three of them head towards the elephants. Neither says much, they just bask in the glow of the day. Spending all this time together without the guilt of their boyfriends, like they had all the other times they spent the day together. Today was completely different than those days. They were filled with angst and tension and longing for the other guy. Neither would say what they really wanted to say. But today was different. Today they were free to finally be them. To finally do exactly what they wanted to do. To finally enjoy each others company to the fullest. And it was the best either of them have felt in awhile.

Will looks over at Sonny and smiles at him. Today, in this moment, everything feels perfect. And he feels so lucky.


As the day progresses and Arianna's energy dwindles, Will and Sonny share the duty of carrying her around the zoo. She refuses to go home until she sees everything, even though she can barely keep her eyes open by mid afternoon. After lunch, she was pretty much done. Anytime Will or Sonny mentioned going home, she would perk up slightly and refuse. Around two o'clock, she was absolutely dead to the world. Sonny carried her to the car, as she rested her head on his shoulder and her legs wrapped tightly around him. He gently put her into her car seat and Will drove them back to the apartment.

Halfway through the drive, Sonny reaches out and grabs Will's hand. They continue the rest of the way home, hand in hand.

When they arrive back at Will's apartment, he goes to unlock the apartment as Sonny grabs Arianna from the back of the car. She is still out cold, but when she feels Sonny pick her up she hums with content. She curls into him, like she has done so many times before. Sonny is amazed at how happy this feeling makes him. He loves having Arianna in his arms more than he ever thought was possible.

After they put Arianna into her bed for her nap, Sonny and Will head into the living room. Sonny plops down next to Will on the couch, grabbing Will's hand and resting his head on Will's shoulder.

"Tired?" Will asks Sonny.

"I think I am beyond tired, honestly. What else did you have planned for her today?"

"Well, I was hoping she would crash for awhile, so I could take a nap," Will laughs.

"I am absolutely up for a nap. After our late night last night and way too early wake up call, I'm exhausted."

"I know. I am so sorry about that," Will whispers, giving Sonny a chaste kiss on the lips. "Come here."

Will pulls Sonny down onto his lap. Sonny's head resting on Will's legs, as Will cards his fingers through his hair. "How about we try to sleep for a little bit before my daughter wakes up?"

"That sounds amazing," Sonny smiles at Will.

Within a matter of minutes, both Will and Sonny are asleep on the couch.
