Will sat between Sonny and Paul on the sofa in the front room of the DiMera Mansion. Will was trying to focus on the game on TV but it was a little difficult. Chad was staring at him from the chair nearby. Paul was noisily informing everyone why baseball was better than football. Sonny was remarking on all the commercials. EJ kept going in and out asking when a real football match was going to start. Between their loud complaints, Chad's necessary yet unsettling gazing, his mother's arguing with Kate in the next room and Stefano's presence Will wasn't even sure which teams were playing.

Chad, eyes locked on Will, wracked his brain for some way to get out of the situation he found himself in. 'How do I always manage to make everything worse for Will?' Yanking his phone out of his pocket Chad sent a message to Will:

-Any ideas how to get out of this?

Will, feeling his phone buzz, took his phone out and tried not to react to the fact that it was Chad messaging him. Typing a reply Will put his phone on his lap and looked over at Chad, sensing Stefano was watching him.

-Not really. Please tell me I'm not going to have to pretend to marry you or something.

-That's definitely not going to happen. I'll figure something out.

Chad bit his lip before putting his phone in his pocket. He had no idea what to do now that he knew what his father had planned. 'I have to tell EJ and let him take care of it.' Chad wasn't certain if he meant for EJ to figure out a plan or for EJ to literally take care of their father.

Sami and Kate stood facing each other in the dining room both their arms crossed and scowls on their faces.

"I am telling you Sami," Kate insisted in a quiet voice. "Stefano is planning something that has to do with Will."

"And what," Sami shot back, "You decided to get it out of him by sleeping with him? Did you really think Stefano was going to confess his plans to you just because he slept with you?"

Kate rolled her eyes, looking indignant, "No, you idiot. Besides, I'm not even talking about finding out his plan."

Sami, confused and a bit suspicious, asked, "What are you even talking about?"

"I'm talking about us doing the right thing here," Kate declared. She looked around to make sure there was no one nearby to hear her. "If Stefano was going after you or me things would be different. We can handle ourselves."

"But it's Will," Sami replied. If there was ever anything Kate and herself agreed on it was doing everything they could to protect Will. 'But this is something beyond even us,' Sami thought.

"Exactly," Kate agreed. "So I think we need to at least consider it."

"You don't even know what you're asking," Sami shook her head.

"I know Sami," Kate answered. "I definitely know what this is. What it could turn into."

"This is an awful idea," Sami told her before walking out of the dining room. "And I can't even think about this right now. Not here."

Following closely behind Sami Kate urged, "Just go in that room and tell me what you see. Do you really want to see Will getting together with Chad? When has Chad ever shown an interest in men let alone Will? This is his father and if he is interested in Will we have to stop it."

Sami paused at the entrance to the front room. She could see Will sneaking glances at Chad and the way Stefano was observing them both. As much as Sami loved EJ she would never want Will to be involved in anything to do with his father. 'I can't let Will get caught up in this. I can't.'

EJ was sitting across from his father in front of their chess set. They were engaged in the same game they had been in for months. With his father's trip to Italy they had to put the game on hold. However, now that he was back, EJ and Stefano were locked in an endless battle. Neither were willing to admit defeat or back down. They had not come to a stalemate quite yet. The move was there they just needed to find it.

Stefano rubbed against his chin slowly as he contemplated his next move. To stall Stefano looked at Elvis and smiled. Gesturing with his head towards William Stefano said, "It would seem like my plans are all coming to fruition."

EJ glanced at the sofa. Kiriakis and Narita had both left the room and now William was moving over, closer to Chad, to talk. Turning back to his father EJ replied, "William is conversing with his friend. I do not see how that could get your hopes up."

"You heard Chad earlier. William only needs to find the way to get rid of his friends. Then everything will come together," Stefano bragged.

"You don't know William like I do," EJ commented lowly, keeping his eyes locked on his father's, "He wouldn't give them up for anything."

Stefano, finally seeing the perfect move, lifted up his piece and told Elvis, "William is not going to have any choice in the matter soon." Placing his piece on the board Stefano grinned, "Checkmate."

Paul stood near the front door to the mansion and tried one more time to call his mother. Every time he had tried he would only get her voicemail. He was beginning to wonder if he was being punished for ignoring all her calls the day before.

Leaning against the door Paul was reminded of the night they were first made aware of how dangerous Ian was. When Will, Sonny and he had gone on their first date after Paul's secret was exposed. Paul never would have expected after seeing the video Ian sent Will that anything worse could happen in their lives.

Looking around the room Paul began to wonder why they kept coming back to this place when so many terrible things kept happening here.

Sonny stepped out of the bathroom and checked his phone. He wasn't ready yet to talk with his uncle but he did miss spending the holiday with the rest of his family. He still wasn't even sure why he was so enraged by his uncle's actions. Sonny knew what kind of person his Uncle Vic was. 'Probably the same person I am now,' Sonny mused. 'I told EJ I wanted him to get rid of T. Maybe I didn't say the word kill but he knew what I wanted. Am I really any different from Uncle Victor?'

Sonny was ready for this day to be over. He wanted to go home to their apartment. He didn't want to have to be surrounded by people who didn't think Paul or Sonny were good enough for Will. He didn't want to sit down to dinner with someone that hurt Will and was willing to do it again, threatening to do it again.

'Besides,' Sonny thought as he walked back toward the front room. 'This place gives me the creeps.'

"Hey," Will said as he scooted along the couch once Sonny left for the bathroom and Paul went to make a phone call. Resting his head on the arm of the couch Will asked, "You OK?"

"Yeah," Chad nodded. "Just, you know, a little worried about everything." He looked down at his hands carefully before saying, "By the way I told your mom you were going to leave Sonny and Paul for me. So maybe act that way when we eat."

Will narrowed his eyes at Chad, "Why would you do that?"

"She was yelling at me and I blurted it out," Chad shrugged. "It's not like there was anything I could do." Moving in closer to Will Chad said, "Besides as soon as I tell EJ he'll find a way to get us out of this mess."

Will wanted to tell Chad about the file but he wasn't sure if he should. 'I already told Sonny and Paul when I shouldn't have. If Chad is going to talk to EJ then EJ can be the one to tell him.'

Knowing his father and EJ were the only ones in the room Chad kissed Will's forehead carefully before moving back properly into his chair. Loud enough for his father to hear Chad stated, "Soon we won't have to sneak around anymore. We can be together the way we want to be."

"Right," Will smiled weakly, feeling a bit sick, "I'll get rid of them soon." Will stood up quickly before he told Chad, "I'll be right back."

Will needed out of that room and away from Stefano. He was looking at the ground and bumped right into Paul's chest. "Oh," Will breathed as Paul righted him. Holding onto Paul, not letting go, Will whispered, "I don't want to go back in there."

"We can go home now," Paul dug his fingers into the bottom of Will's shirt. "Tell everyone you aren't feeling well."

Will wanted that more than anything. He wanted to go home and pretend all of this wasn't happening. 'But I can't,' Will thought. He shook his head, "No we have to stay."

Sonny, walking down the hall and stumbling upon his boyfriends, stopped next to them and put a hand on each of their shoulders, "What's going on?"

"I want to leave but know I can't," Will sighed. He squeezed Paul one more time before turning and resting his head on Sonny's shoulder.

"Do you want to go upstairs instead," Paul suggested. "I don't really think downstairs has too many happy memories for you."

Looking around the foyer Will shivered slightly. He tried his hardest not to get caught up in all the awful things that has happened in this mansion. He nodded weakly when he caught sight of the spot he was sitting when Stefano shot Ian. Immediately refusing to think about Ian's blood splattering his face or the horrible sense of guilt and relief he felt when Ian was dead Will took Sonny and Paul's hands and walked up the stairs. 'Don't think about that,' Will scolded himself.

"You're sure being here doesn't freak you out or give you flashbacks or something," Sonny asked Will carefully as he shut the door to Will's room.

"Not really," Will explained carefully. "I try not to think about anything that happened here."

Paul lowered his face slightly. He didn't like to think about it all either.

"Does it bother either of you," Will asked as he kicked off his shoes and moved to the middle of the bed.

Sonny shrugged, "I don't really feel all that comfortable here but it's not terrible."

"Same," Paul agreed as he followed Will onto the bed. 'I just can't believe we keep ending up here again and again.' Wanting to change the subject Paul asked, "How much longer do you think it's going to be before we eat?"

"It should be soon," Will guessed. "My mom's been driving the chef nuts though so that probably delayed him a bit."

"Imagine that," Sonny remarked, "Your mom doing something annoying."

"Hey," Will said with a laugh. While he knew his mother was a pain he also didn't really like it when other's pointed it out. 'She's my pain so I get to complain about her.'

"You know," Paul commented, running his hand over the bed spread, "The few times we've stayed here we didn't really get the opportunity to take advantage."

Rolling his eyes Sonny laughed, "Oh yeah that's a reasonable way to spend our time here. It's not like anyone could walk in and flip out on us."

"I'm supposed to be finding a way to break up with you actually," Will smiled.

"Well you can just tell Chad that we had our way with you instead," Paul teased yet made no move to get up. "Probably shouldn't fool around with EJ in the vicinity. With our luck he'd walk in and shoot us."

"With my luck he'd accidentally shoot me," Will sighed. "Although it would be fun to see what EJ's reaction would be."

"How would that be fun," Sonny commented. "He'd kill all of us."

Will shrugged, "I saw him having sex with my mom. He could stand being traumatized too." Rolling onto his stomach Will added, "Besides I'm starting to think the best way to get everyone to leave us alone is for all of them to just see us together. Maybe then they'd see I literally have no time for anyone else."

"That's right you don't," Paul agreed happily. He couldn't help from picturing that scenario though. "It would be more fun than having to explain to everyone that we want to take care of you. 'Oh I'm sorry, did you think we were neglecting your son? Just watch as I bend him over.'"

Will, cheeks red, put his face in his arms, "Oh my god I was joking."

"Aw," Paul kidded, putting his hands on Will's back and moving him back and forth, "Just imagine it. Every time Chad tries to touch you we can just pull you on our co-"

"Stop it," Will laughed loudly. "You are ridiculous," he panted.

Sonny, catching Paul's eye, both grinned before smacking Will lightly on the butt at the same time. Snickering when Will squealed and moved away from them Sonny followed, trying to catch Will.

Will dodged Sonny's outstretched arms only to be caught by Paul. Will squirmed around as he tried to escape as he giggled. When Will saw Sonny's fingers start wriggling around Will shriek, "No, no tickling."

"Mmm," Sonny said, "Sorry, I can't here you." He prodded his fingers into Will's stomach and sides as Paul held him still.

"Are you ticklish," Paul said in mock surprise, "Why I had no idea." He nuzzled the side of his face against Will's neck and blew on his neck lightly.

"You two are the worst," Will was laughing so hard he felt like he couldn't breathe. He knew they would stop if he asked them to just like they knew he didn't mind.

"Nu huh," Sonny shook his head before sitting back down, letting Will catch his breath.

"Will," they heard a tiny voice call from outside the door before it was pushed open.

"Hey," Will smiled when he saw his little brother. "What's up?"

Johnny put his hands on his hips and said, "Daddy sent me up here to stop whatever it is you're doing."

Will rolled his eyes and moved away from Paul, "Well you can go to tell Daddy that you did a good job."

Paul, cringing a bit hearing Will refer to EJ as Daddy, looked at Johnny suspiciously when he didn't move.

"He also said to tell you to come down the stairs before he has to go up them," Johnny announced with a large smile, proud of himself for remembering.

"Come on," Sonny shook his head, "We're being summoned."

EJ was waiting for them at the bottom of the staircase. He had just gotten off the phone and was feeling rather pleased with himself. Lifting an eyebrow EJ stared them all down.

"You couldn't even bother to get us yourself," Will asked torn between amusement and annoyance.

"I'm not an idiot," EJ replied, "I knew if I sent Johnny you would detach yourselves. Besides I wasn't willing to risk seeing that."

"Uh huh," Will said blankly.

"Anyway it's time to eat," EJ reached his hand out to tap William on the back. "This won't be uncomfortable at all."

On this Thanksgiving Day Will was grateful there was so much food no one seemed inclined to talk while they ate. He was also glad the chef cut the turkey in the kitchen because he wasn't sure he trusted anyone at the table around large knives at the moment. His mom and grandma seemed to be in some sort of strange dimension where they were being nice to Stefano. 'Because that's not suspicious.' Chad kept touching his foot under the table and giving him what were clearly supposed to be unsubtle looks. EJ was glaring at everyone except the kids. Paul was only looking at Will or Sonny. Sonny was only looking at Will and Paul. And Stefano was smugly smiling at the head of the table.

'Weirdest Thanksgiving ever,' Will thought as he shoved an overly large spoonful into his mouth. Not to knock his other side of the family but he was glad he wasn't at some Horton party where everyone has to hold hands and pretend to be one big happy family though. 'At least here everyone knows they don't like each other.'

As Will was looking around the table he was beginning to realize how ridiculous his life really was. Catching sight of Sonny and Paul it dawned on Will how unfair everything has been for his boyfriends. 'They're constantly being attacked or bullied by either my family or my friends. They have to watch Chad try to hit on me. Then I had to go and be an insecure freak and get upset because they have a life outside of me. They deserve so much better than this.'

Resolving to think of some way he could show his boyfriends how much he appreciated all they put up with in order to be with him Will put his fork down. 'I should probably not try to kill myself if I want some quality time when we get home.' Pouting slightly at the food left on his plate Will decided, 'I'm just going to wrap it up and take it with me.'

Will sat on the floor in his room upstairs with Sonny and Paul. Johnny, Allie and Sydney were jumping on his bed. The only way EJ was letting them upstairs was if they had supervision. Chad tried to sneak up after them but when Paul threatened to push him down the stairs he wisely stayed on the first floor.

Will was browsing through the ads for Black Friday shopping. He wasn't looking for anything in particular he just liked looking. "So is tomorrow going to be really busy for you," Will asked Sonny lightly.

"That's what I'm guessing," Sonny commented as he looked over Will's shoulder at the ad. "We're opening an hour early. I'm hoping I won't have to stay all day though."

"That would be a long day," Paul murmured as he flipped through the channels on the TV. "Bright side is we get to leave soon."

"Hey, you guys be careful with her," Will told Johnny and Allie when he noticed they started shoving Sydney around.

Johnny and Allie both stuck out their tongues and jumped off the bed and out of the room. Sydney, getting a little teary eyed as she was left behind, looked at Will.

"Go on, go get them," Will encouraged with a smile. He knew if Sydney was going to get along with Johnny and Allie she was going to need to stand up to them and not let them boss her around.

As soon as his siblings were down the hall in their play room Will tossed the ad in his hand to the floor and reached out one arm for each of his boyfriends. Pulling them close Will kissed Paul firmly on the lips before doing the same for Sonny.

"Mmm," Paul moaned as he watched Sonny and Will kiss. He had seen them do the same thing many times but he would never get tired of it. Today it was much more sexual rather than intimate like the day before.

Sonny gripped the back of Will's neck harshly as he opened his mouth. He didn't care that the door was open. 'We had to suffer all day in this stupid place. At the very least we're getting in one good make out session.'

Paul moved in closer to his boyfriends. He placed his hand over Sonny's on Will's neck and moved Sonny's hand over a bit. Lacing his fingers with Sonny's Paul leaned down to kiss the side of Will's neck.

Will whimpered into Sonny's mouth when he felt Paul's lips on his neck. He was so enthralled with his boyfriends he almost didn't hear the news report coming from the TV.

"…But by the time the paramedics arrived on the scene it was too late. Early police reports indicate that this was a very tragic accident."

Will opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the TV screen only to pull away completely from Sonny and Paul in horror. "Oh my god," he gasped as he saw a picture of Gabi on the news.

"In an earlier statement the Salem Police confirmed that Gabriella Hernandez was the only person in the car in what was a fatal accident. Further details will be on our broadcast at 10pm."

Sonny looked between the TV and Will several times before putting his hand on Will's back. "Come on babe," Sonny said quietly, "Don't look at this."

Paul, shocked by the report, winced when they showed a picture of the scene of the accident. He grabbed Will's neck and roughly pulled until Will's face was hidden in Paul's chest. 'Why the hell do news stations show that?'

Will, glasses smooshed into Paul's shirt, hung limply against him. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen Gabi at all. He knew she told Sonny and Paul that he was involved with Chad. 'But I never got the chance to talk to her about it. I'm never going to get the chance to talk to her about it.'

Sonny rubbed Will's back up and down as he grabbed the remote and turned the TV off. Sonny knew as soon as he saw the report that EJ had to have been involved somehow. 'After what Chad said about her helping Ian it's no surprise she's dead.' Sonny knew he should probably feel upset or bad that Gabi was dead but he wasn't sure he was.

'It's like with T. I wish there was another way but if they are out to hurt Will than I'm glad they can't reach him anymore,' Sonny thought. He looked at the floor trying to steel himself for whatever amount of comfort Will was going to need tonight.

"I think we should go home," Paul said as he started to stand up and pull Will with him.

EJ patted Samantha's back comfortingly as she reacted to the news of Gabriella's death. She appeared to be the only one truly upset. Chad, upon seeing the report, leaned in his chair and sighed stony faced. Stefano hardly paid any notice as he read the newspaper. Kate had a few silent tears running down her cheeks but her expression didn't exactly look distraught.

"I just can't believe this," Sami cried as she pulled away from EJ. She had known Gabi so well from when she was married to Rafe and Gabi was dating Will. Her children loved Gabi. "How could this have happened," she asked desperately.

"It was an accident," Chad muttered quietly. "A sad, terrible accident."

Sami sniffled as she looked over at Chad. "Why aren't you more upset," she asked, eyebrows crinkled together, "I thought you two were at least friends."

"I am," Chad acknowledged. And he was upset. He never wanted any of these things to happen. He didn't want Gabi to die but he also never expected her to feed information to Ian. 'How could she have ever done that to Will? She used to be in love with him.'

"Can't you see Samantha," Stefano folded his newspaper and laid it in his lap, "Why would Chad be so upset over the woman who hurt William?"

"What," Sami demanded, sitting up straight and glaring at Stefano. "What are you talking about?"

"Who do you think spread all of the new rumors about William," Stefano answered easily. "You of all people should know to never question the judgement of a woman scorned."

Kate, wiping her face, added, "She did sound and look pretty unsettled the last time I saw her. Of course she was confronting Chad at the time but still."

"It sounds like she was unstable," EJ commented lightly. "Of course finding out that your boyfriend is leaving you for your ex-boyfriend would do that to a person I imagine."

"Will isn't going to be happy about this," Sami sniffled. "I need to go check on him."

"I'll go," Chad stood up quickly.

"No," EJ disagreed. "I'll be the one to tell William."

"It does not look like anyone needs to tell William," Stefano mused as he saw a shell-shocked William walking towards the front entrance.

"Will," Sami breathed out as she hurried towards the foyer. "Will," Sami called again as she wrapped Will into a large hug.

"Mom," Will whispered. "I want to go home."

"Of course," Sami pulled back and pushed back Will's blonde hair out of his face. "We understand."

EJ, elbowing Chad out of his way, reached William first and put his arm around his shoulder, "Everything will be alright."

"OK," Will sighed as he turned into EJ's arms before moving over to Chad.

"Hey," Chad asked lowly. "You going to be OK?"

"I guess," Will shrugged, "I don't really know. What about you? Are you alright?"

"Yeah," Chad gave Will a half smile. He really did like Gabi and enjoyed her as a friend. But he also knew exactly why it was important for her to be dealt with. 'I guess I am a DiMera after all.'

As soon as Will, Sonny and Paul left Chad turned to EJ and told him quietly, so that no one could hear him, "I need to tell you something."

EJ nodded carefully, "Not here. Meet me tomorrow."

"What do you want to do baby," Paul asked as they walked into their apartment. He helped Will out of his jacket before doing the same with Sonny and hanging them both up.

Will just walked into their bedroom, put his glasses on the side table and flopped on the bed.

Sonny, thanking Paul for taking his jacket, went to the fridge and pulled out three beers. 'I have a feeling we're going to be needing these.' Using a bottle opener on them he walked into the bedroom and handed a drink to Paul. "Roll over, babe," Sonny ordered.

Paul, taking a long pull from his beer, frowned slightly at Will's red rimmed eyes. "What are you thinking," he questioned. He had no idea how to gauge what was running through Will's head.

Grabbing the beer from Sonny Will took a sip and sighed. "I don't know," Will admitted. "It's just hard to grasp that she's dead. You know? I worked with her. I used to date her," Will shook his head. "I don't even know what to think."

Sonny didn't know if he should tell Will about Gabi helping Ian or not. 'It's not like I even know the entire story behind that. And now no one ever will.' But Sonny didn't want to keep another secret from Will and Paul. Deciding he needed to tell Will this at least Sonny put his beer on the side table before saying, "I have to tell you something."

"What is it," Will asked taking another drink. He really wasn't sure he could handle much more bad news.

"I kind of found out something about Gabi a few days ago," Sonny licked his lips nervously. "I should have told you both then but we were talking about wanting to make sure you weren't stressed out. Obviously that didn't work out."

"It's OK," Paul said, reaching out to squeeze Sonny's knee, "What is it?"

"I overheard Chad telling EJ that Gabi had something to do with Ian," Sonny told them both quietly.

Will's face paled and he almost dropped his bottle.

Paul shot his hand out to steady Will's wrist, "Hey, I've got it." He put Will's bottle on the table before putting his hands over his face. "Holy shit," he finally said.

"How could Gabi," Will started to say, "I don't, why would, but she was there that night! The night that Ian was at the mansion she was there and, and how?" 'How could she do this to me?'

Sonny shrugged helplessly, "I don't know babe. It doesn't make sense."

"It makes some sense," Paul couldn't help but point out. When he saw two sets of eyes looking at him, Paul added, "She was so angry about Chad saying he broke up with her for Will. And didn't Chad say that she was driving him crazy about Will before that? Obviously she must have had something against Will."

"But why," Will asked akin to a child. "I thought we were friends again. I know that she was upset when we broke up but she said she understood when I came out. Why would she talk to him? What did she even say?"

"I think Chad assumed that Gabi was how Ian knew we were at the luxury apartment," Sonny admitted. "As for why she would do anything like that I just don't know babe. It doesn't make any sense."

"And now we'll never get to find out," Paul replied. 'God how do all of the people connected to Ian end up dead? Oh,' Paul paused and blinked several times. 'Oh my god, what if-no. No Gabi died in an accident. EJ couldn't have been behind that.'

"Even if she helped him," Will confessed lowly, pulling his knees closer to his chest and resting his head on it, "I wouldn't want her to die. I wish she didn't. Maybe she wasn't my friend but I thought I was hers."

Sonny smiled at Will sadly, 'He really does forgive people too easily.' Sometimes that was one of the things Sonny loved most about Will, other times not so much. "I'm really sorry this happened," Sonny placed his hand on Will's back and rubbed.

"God, Rafe must be a wreck," Will said suddenly. "I know I haven't talked to him since he and my mom split but he was always so nice to me. And he loved Gabi so much." Will shook his head sadly, "He's lost two sisters in this town."

"Do you think you want to go see him," Paul asked. He really didn't know Rafe at all other than the things Will told him.

"I don't know," Will exhaled loudly. "Is it selfish of me to not want to be too involved?"

"What do you mean," Sonny questioned, not quite understanding.

"I just," Will sat up again and reached across Sonny for his glasses. "After everything that happened with me I don't want to worry about anyone else. I just want to work on me. Is that bad?"

"No," Paul answered firmly. "Of course not. You can be sad about Gabi and not disrupt your life over it. And there's nothing to feel guilty about, OK?"

"Exactly, babe," Sonny responded. "You're under no obligation to change your life because of this."

"I just wanted to be sure," Will asked.

The three of them were standing in the bathroom taking turns washing their faces, brushing their teeth and flossing. At first Will thought it would be strange maneuvering around with two other people but after the first few nights he got into the routine. It was a bit intimidating watching the two of them step around each other easily but Will adapted.

Now it made Will smile when he would stand near the sink and Sonny would automatically hand him the toothpaste or Paul would move out of the way when Will needed to spit in the sink. Will hadn't even been living with Sonny and Paul for a month yet but he was beginning to feel settled. Feel like he really belonged.

As the three snuggled into bed, pulling the sheets and comforter over themselves to block out the chilled air, Will held onto each of their hands. He pressed one hand against Sonny and Paul's comparing their hands and fingers. He circled their knuckles and measured the thickness of their fingers.

Will knew he should let Sonny get to sleep. He had to get up in a few short hours but he couldn't help clinging to them. Being at the mansion all day and learning that Gabi was helping Ian made Will a little bit clingy. Most of the time he tried not to think about Ian. He figured if he didn't think about Ian than he had a better chance of getting over it.

'But I was so close to losing them, losing everything,' Will contemplated. 'EJ needs to do whatever it is he's going to do with Stefano before something happens. I don't want to be that close to dying ever again.'

"You alright baby," Paul asked sleepily.

"Yeah," Will replied. "Just thinking about how glad I am to be here, with the two of you."

"What a coincidence," Sonny said teasingly, "That's what I was thinking about."

Will squeezed their hands one last time before letting them go. Getting comfortable Will turned into Paul's chest and lifted his arm so Sonny could snuggle into his side. Will closed his eyes and easily drifted off to sleep.

Author's note:

Who wants to guess what's going to happen next? Also whenever I write Stefano I feel like I'm writing platitude after platitude. Oh well.

Thanks for reading and please review!
