"You want to ask my mom what," Will asked almost certain he must have misheard.

"I plan on asking your mother to marry me," EJ looked at Will confidently, "And I'm asking for you to help me."

Will opened and closed his mouth a few times. He didn't know how he felt about this. He knew that his mom and EJ were closer now than they ever were, 'We all are but does that mean they have to get married?'

EJ, seeing the indecision crossing William's face, felt a bit of his confidence chip away, "I'm not going to hurt her this time."

"OK," Will nodded uncertainly. "This just seems like a big commitment. I-I don't know what to say."

"You can tell me no, you know," EJ reminded him, petrified he would say no. "But I want to do this even without your help."

"But why do you have to marry her," Will whispered, not understanding, "You love each other and you're happy now. Why do you have to change that?"

"It's not changing it," EJ replied, "It's making it officially. Standing up to everyone we know and saying this is the person I love and want to be with for the rest of my life."

"And how many times have the both of you done that," Will shook his head, pulling his knees to his chest, "Getting married doesn't automatically mean you're going to spend the rest of your life together." Will closed his eyes, "That's usually the part where everything starts to go wrong."

EJ, seeing how much this was bothering William, put his hand on his back, "I know that Samantha and I have both been married several times before but that doesn't mean this one won't work."

"How do you know," Will argued, suddenly remembering each and every time his mother would sit him down and tell him, 'This time is going to be different. This time is going to last.'

"I just do William," EJ tried to explain, "I know it and I know your mother knows it." EJ rubbed against William's spine, "I know that all your mother has ever wanted was someone who loved her and supported her through everything. Someone that would never judge her. And that's what I am William. It doesn't matter what we've done in the past or we'll do in the future. I know that your mother is it. That all of our children, Johnny, Sydney, Allie and you, all of you are exactly what I want for the rest of my life. You are all my family and with a ring or without that's never going to change."

"Then why do you have to get married," Will begged, "Why do you have to change everything?"

"Because I need to prove to your mother, you, myself, everyone that I can do this," EJ stated firmly, "That I am the type of person that will never abandon my family."

Will shook his head. 'Every time she gets married is when her life starts to fall apart,' Will closed his eyes. 'That's when she gets hurt the worst, When they both get hurt the most.'

"I'll give you some time to think about it, William," EJ sighed deeply. "To make a decision. I just hope that after everything we've been through you can see that if nothing else I love your mother."

Will closed the door after EJ left and locked it. He walked back towards Sonny and Paul almost in a daze. He lied down face first on the bed without saying anything.

"Babe," Sonny said as he moved closer to Will. He and Paul tried very hard to not eavesdrop on the conversation, although they peeked out the door a few times. "Are you OK," Sonny questioned.

"He wants to marry her," Will replied as he rolled onto his back.

"And you don't want him to," Paul asked tilting his head to look at Will. "Isn't this what you want? A stable family?"

Will shrugged looking away from Sonny and Paul and staring at the wall.

"Hey," Paul rubbed along Will's stomach, "Talk to us. You know you can tell us anything."

"I just," Will bit his lip, "I've seen my mom get married or almost married so many times. It always is the same too. She starts off happy and in love and by the time it's over she's alone and miserable and moving on to the next guy that throws her attention. I don't want her to get hurt again."

"Do you think EJ's going to hurt her," Sonny carefully asked. "Because from everything I've seen he kind of adores Sami. Did you see the look on his face when he watched that video yesterday?"

"And we know he dotes on the kids," Paul pointed out, feeling slightly unsettled that he was defending EJ. "Not to mention how protective he is of you."

"We know firsthand all about that," Sonny poked at Will's ribs wanting to get that sad look on his face. "I don't think he would ask her to marry him if he wasn't serious."

"I know," Will sighed, "It's just déjà vu I guess. I've seen first hand what kind of pain they're capable of causing the other. I don't want my mom to get hurt but I don't want my mom to hurt EJ either. I just want them to be happy." Pausing for a moment Will licked his lips, "He said he'd give me some time to think about it. And right now all I want is some food and maybe a bit more time with my boyfriends."

"Well," Paul smiled, "We can definitely handle that."

Will sat up and started heading towards the kitchen, not wanting to think about it anymore, "Hey," he asked as he took in their appearance, "How did you get your clothes?"

"We ran out by the hot tub to get them," Sonny said with a laugh.

"I think I might have gotten frostbite," Paul nodded, "You might have to inspect me and let me know."

"If that was you hinting for a blowjob," Will snorted, "You're going to have to come up with something better."

Will held Paul's hand as they walked up the path to the mansion the next morning, "You don't have to do this, you know. I know you don't like spending time with them."

"I don't hate it either," Paul told Will. "Besides getting you to forgive me about the thing with my mom means getting them to forgive me too. Like it or not but you're a package deal."

"Speaking of your mom," Will said as he unlocked the front door, "Have you heard from her?"

"No," Paul shook his head, "I'm pretty sure she's still in town though. She's just sulking, waiting until I feel extremely bad about everything so I'll apologize and do what she wants."

"Weird," Will commented with a slight frown, walking inside and closing the door, "I wonder what it's like to have a mom that doesn't bother you all day every day until you crack."

"What was that," Sami demanded, hands on her hips, as she stepped off the last stair and look at Will expectantly.

"Um," Will smiled brightly, "I said I wonder what it's like to not have a mom that's as young and beautiful as mine."

"That's what I thought you said," Sami smiled as she gave Will a hug. Sami glanced at Paul and nodded, "Yes, I'm glad you brought this one."

"You are," Paul asked completely surprised.

Sami put her hand on Paul's bicep and squeezed, "Oh yeah. You're being put to work."

Will and Paul stood side by side in the dark, dusty attic with matching looks of disgust on their face.

"Now," Sami ordered as EJ followed her inside the room. "We're going through everything in here and seeing what we want to keep and what we don't."

EJ moved closer towards William as he looked through a box. EJ wasn't sure what to make of William's reaction to him last night. 'I know that's not true,' EJ thought, 'I wanted him to smile and offer his help.'

Clearing his throat EJ said, "I looked all over the mansion but I finally found most of the items Stefano wanted you to have."

"Oh yeah," Will pulled his head out of the box it was in and smiled at EJ. "Anything good?"

"Yes and no," EJ admitted. "Do you two want to come take a look?"

Paul, putting down the box he was carrying, no longer having to pretend he wasn't listening in, replied, "Yes." 'Anything to get out of this room.'

Will sat down on a chair in one of the many rooms in the mansion he had never been in. "Seriously," Will looked around the place, "Everything in here?"

"There's a few more," EJ explained as he looked at the list the lawyer sent him, "But they're just decorations floating around the house."

Paul whistled slightly as he took it all in. The room was packed full of things, furniture and books and odds and ends.

Sami, lounging on one of the chairs, said, "Well I say you sell the crap and use the money towards something that would piss Stefano off."

"Like what," Will raised an eyebrow at his mother, "A new mental health facility?"

Will started looking around at some of the things, fingers trailing along them as he walked by. He knew Stefano wouldn't leave him any of these things if they weren't important to him, 'Or if they didn't mean something else.'

Stopping at the books Will read over the titles wondering exactly how many of these books Stefano read during his life. 'Were these the things that shaped his mind? Made Stefano who he was.'

Finding a large leather album Will pulled it out and started going through it.

"What do you got there," Paul asked as he stopped his own exploration.

"It's a photo album Stefano showed me once," Will said as he flipped over the pages. "He said he'd show me the rest and he never did."

EJ walked over to look over William's shoulder. He had seen the album many times before. He'd been forced to remember the names as well as the faces. Stefano always insisted it was important for him to know everything.

Suddenly getting a bad feeling EJ turned to the last page and closed his eyes. There was a picture of Chad and William as well as a card from an orphanage. "Of course," EJ said, "At least that solves that."

Sami wandered over to see what everyone was staring at. Ripping the card out of the album Sami pulled her phone out of her pocket and dialed the number on the card before stepping outside.

"That's actually a relief," Will sighed as he picked up the album, "To know he wasn't planning on stealing embryos or my sperm or anything."

"Where would he even get your sperm," Paul couldn't stop himself from asking.

"I don't know," Will replied, "Condom?"

"How would he know which one was yours," Paul shook his head.

"DNA test," Will guessed.

"Would you both shut up," EJ hissed.

Will looked at EJ, "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine," EJ barked out turning away from William and looking at everything else in the room.

"Is there any more disturbing surprises in here," Paul wondered out loud. "Does he somehow have the gun you used to shot EJ hiding around?"

Will stepped on Paul's toes, "Stop it." 'EJ already looks like he's going to blow.'

Sami came back into the room looking rather pale. Sitting down on a chair she explained, "Well I talked to someone. Apparently Stefano had committed to taking on one of the infants there. Thankfully it wasn't an older one or their hearts would have been broken when they got the news."

Will slumped into one of the many chairs in the room. "Oh," he mumbled.

Paul sat down next to Will and put his hand on his back, "Are you OK?"

"Yeah," Will nodded slowly. "I just never really thought it was real, you know? Even when I saw the room I never pictured a real baby. I didn't think it'd ever come to this."

"Was it a boy," EJ questioned looking at Samantha.

Sami nodded, "Yeah. They already started calling him Santo. Stefano told them that's what he was going to be called."

Will put his head against Paul feeling awful. He knew he couldn't have a child now. But it felt so cruel to tell the orphanage to forget about everything. 'They gave him a name,' Will realized, 'He was going to be mine.'

"Don't think about that," Paul nudged Will, knowing he was focusing on what could have been, "It won't do you any good."

Will nodded and sniffled a bit. "I think that I know what I want to do with this stuff," Will announced. "And the money for the wedding, if Chad agrees."

EJ caught William's eye, "You're going to donate it to the orphanage?"

"Yeah maybe sell this stuff and give them the money," Will nodded. "I want them to be happy even if it's not with me. How do you think Chad's going to take this?"

"Let me explain it to Chad," EJ pinched the bridge of his nose.

Will, looking down at the photo album again, turned the page and frowned looking back and forth between the last page and the one before it.

"What is it," Paul asked Will noting the confused look on his face.

"EJ," Will said, getting his attention, looking at EJ with wide eyes, "You're not in here."

Will followed EJ down the stairs and into the front room. He hoped he wasn't going to make himself a drink. 'I really don't want to deal with another father figure having an alcohol problem.'

"EJ," Will said as he came into the room.

EJ was standing at the mantle where Stefano's ashes were, hands clenched into fists.

"EJ," Will repeated in a quieter voice. He didn't like the look on EJ's face.

"Do you know what he said in that recording," EJ began explaining without looking at William. "He said if I wasn't such a disappointment than he wouldn't have had to do what he did."

"I don't-" Will started to say before getting cut out.

"And I've been thinking almost every day," EJ glared at the urn containing his father's ashes, "About what I could have done to make him happy. What more he would have wanted from me. And I can't think of anything."

Will watched EJ sadly, stepping closer so he was standing next to him.

"I did everything I could have to please him," EJ hissed, "I listened to every plan he ever had. I let him convince me to do everything he wanted."

"Except me," Will whispered.

"Except you," EJ repeated. "The one thing that I wouldn't do, the one thing, was hand over a teenage boy to him. To let him warp your mind the way he did mine. He would go on and on about the importance of family yet he tried to break mine about."

Will could see EJ was fighting back tears that his fingernails were digging into his palms.

"And I don't care anymore," EJ declared loudly. "I don't care if he thought I was a disappointment. I don't care if he died thinking that he couldn't rely on me. I don't care."

EJ lifted the urn off the mantle and slammed in into the fireplace instantly breaking it, ashes scattering everywhere. EJ grabbed the chess set his father had left him in his will off its table and scattered the pieces before throwing the board in the fireplace as well. With shaking hands EJ grabbed the decanter of Scotch nearby and tossed that as well shattering it instantly, smell permeating the room.

Will, recalling when Gabi broke up with him, how he wanted to smash and break things too, stepped away from the fireplace quickly not wanting to get in the way. Will knew EJ wasn't really breaking the items. EJ wanted to break his feelings, what each item represented.

Bending over to pick up the chess pieces EJ sat on the ground, throwing each one haphazardly towards the fireplace, not even caring that his aim was off.

Will sat next to EJ on the floor looking at him in concern.

EJ angrily wiped tears off of his face, "He's dead and never coming back. And my life is no longer going to be ruled by him."

Will put his hand on EJ's arm, "It's OK to miss him, to still love him and want his approval."

"I don't care," EJ repeated. "I don't."

"Yes you do," Will argued, "You can love him just as much as you hated him. He was your father and yeah he was kind of crazy and no one really liked him," Will admitted, "And he was a total douche. But he still helped make you the way you are."

EJ snorted and pulled his arm away from William, "Great, then I am a monster."

"No you aren't," Will practically yelled. "Yes you've done bad things but that doesn't make you evil. Mom wouldn't be with you if you were. Johnny and Sydney and even Allie wouldn't love you as much as they do if you were. You wouldn't love them as much either. Or me," Will tentatively touched EJ again, "You aren't Stefano and you're never going to be."

Will bit his lip, "But that doesn't mean you have to hate him. You can still mourn for him and admit that you love him even if he hurt you, even if you're not what he wanted. I already told you once before that we don't want you to be any different. I don't want you to be any different."

EJ gnashed his teeth together and shook his head, refusing to believe William.

Will squeezed EJ's arm before saying, "If I thought you were a disappointment or a monster I wouldn't be helping you ask Mom to marry you."

EJ turned his head to look down into William's blue eyes, "You are," he asked.

Will nodded, "Yeah. I just, I wanted to make sure that this time was real, that this was it. And I know it is, EJ. I know this time is actually going to be different."

"How do you know that," EJ asked eyes misting over again.

"Because I know you helped Sydney take a bath yesterday," Will explained, "And I know when you got home last night you checked on Allie and Johnny to make sure they were still asleep. Because you drove all over town looking for me because you were afraid something was wrong."

EJ was completely captivated by William's speech, hanging on his every word.

"Because I know this time you want to marry Mom because you love her not because anyone else wants you to," Will added fiddling his fingers a bit, beginning to feel nervous under EJ's staring. "Because this whole time you've been together you haven't argued or screamed at each other. You didn't get together for show or revenge or any other plot. You're together because you love each other."

"So," Will finished, "That's why I'm going to help you. Because I know you love her and I know I love you."

EJ closed his eyes tightly and dropped his head towards his chest.

When Will saw EJ's shoulders shaking Will reached out and pulled EJ towards him. "It's OK," Will rubbed EJ's arm up and down as he cried against him. "Everything's going to be fine."

Will walked back upstairs and looked for his mom and Paul. Following the sounds of his mother's bossy tone Will found them back upstairs in the attic. 'I am going to owe Paul all the blowjobs he wants,' Will decided as he climbed up the ladder.

"Hey," Will announced.

"Where's EJ," Sami asked immediately concerned.

"He's taking a little break," Will told them both. "But he wants someone to go to the Pub and get lunch."

"I'll go," Paul volunteered ready to be away from this place. 'Lucky Sonny getting to be at work instead of here.'

"Oh no," Sami shook her head, point at Paul's arms, "I'm using those. Now get over here and move these boxes, stat."

Narrowing his eyes Paul followed Sami's directions but didn't like it. 'It's cute when Will bosses me around. It's annoying when Sami does it,' Paul thought.

Will walked over to Paul and kissed his cheek before he had bent back over. "Make sure you're feeling OK," Will rubbed against Paul's shoulder gently. "And you can tell her off if she gets too crazy," Will informed him.

"No he can't," Sami insisted from behind them where she was digging through a box.

Rolling his eyes Will looked at Paul, "Thanks for doing this."

"Of course," Paul kissed Will's lips, "But you're giving me a massage tonight."

"Sounds fair," Will nodded. Leaning in closer Will whispered, "And maybe a little something else for good behavior."

Will, walking out of the Pub with his arms loaded with takeout bags, was so tempted to dig into the bag and eat his. 'That smells so good,' Will thought as his stomach started rumbling.

Not watching where he was going, mind focused on his stomach, Will bumped into an older gentleman he had never seen before.

"Oh god I am so sorry," Will said, glad he didn't knock into the guy that hard, "I wasn't paying attention and I am so sorry." When the man just stared at Will in confusion Will looked the man over and wondered if he spoke English. "Do you speak English," Will asked as gently as he could.

The man, seeming to understand what Will asked, shook his head and said through a thick Asian accent, "No, no English."

Will nodded as he tried to figure out what to do. He wasn't sure if the man was new in town or just passing through but by the expression on his face Will assumed he might have been lost and a little jetlagged. 'I can't let someone wander about through town,' Will thought as he tried to figure out what to do.

Putting the bags of takeout on a bench nearby Will pulled out his phone and started messing with it giving the man a smile and holding up his finger indicating he should wait. After a few minutes Will cheered in success, "Ha! I knew I could find this app."

Holding the phone out to the man Will mimed talking, hoping the man would speak into it. The man looked at Will uncertainly for a moment until he spoke into the phone.

Will smiled widely when the app translated the man's sentence however his smile dimmed when he heard the automated voice indicating the man said, "You're a strange boy."

Will took the phone back and said into it, "I was only trying to help."

As the app took a moment to translate the sentence the man gave Will a slight smile, "I apologize. I didn't think it would work."

Will shrugged it off, "Do you need directions?"

"I'm not really sure what I'm looking for," the man said looking at Will, "I just arrived from the airport."

"I can show you a hotel," Will replied energetically. "There's a few just down this way." Will pointed with his hand.

The man smiled slightly, recalling the name of the one he wanted, "Can you point me towards the Salem Inn?"

"Of course," Will nodded picking up his bags of food again. "It's just this way." He would have offered to drive the man but he didn't want to completely freak him out. 'Plus everyone would probably go crazy if they knew I let a stranger get in my car. At least this way I'm out in the open.'

Will walked the man all the way to the inn, even downloading the app for him on his phone so he would be able to make his way around town easier before waving at the man on his way out and back towards his car.

The concierge at the Salem Inn, checking out a room for the man, commented into the phone, "I would stay away from that kid if I were you."

"What do you mean," the man questioned. 'He seemed like a nice young man to me.'

"That's Will Horton," the employee told him, "He has more rumors floating around about him than this town has citizens." Handing a room key over to the man the concierge said, "I hope you enjoy your stay at the Salem Inn, Mr. Narita."

"Thank you," Hiro stated into the phone taking his key and following the directions the employee gave him to get to his room. 'So that was Will Horton,' Hiro mused as he pulled out his phone. 'He didn't seem anything like how Tori described him.'

Sonny and Chad walked into the DiMera Mansion together. Sonny, having received updates from Will and Paul all day, felt a bit apprehensive about this. He knew Chad was in for a rough conversation with EJ.

'Not to mention I don't particularly want to move expensive junk around,' Sonny thought to himself.

"Anyone home," Chad yelled as they walked inside.

"In here," Will yelled. His mom had stolen Paul again. EJ was finding whatever Stefano had left for his siblings to put aside for whenever any of them felt like showing up. 'And I'm cleaning up this mess before the kids come home,' Will sighed as he swept near the fireplace.

'I wonder if EJ still employs all those servants that were always around the house,' Will wondered. 'I never see them anymore. I hope they aren't unemployed.'

"What are you doing," Sonny asked as he looked at Will curiously.

"Sweeping," Will answered waving his broom about.

"Really," Chad replied, "I never would have guessed."

"I meant why," Sonny walked over to Will and kissed him.

"Getting up all the glass before I vacuum up this mess," Will informed them hoping no one asked what he was going to be vacuuming. 'It's got to be sacrilegious to vacuum up ashes, right?'

Chad looked around the room, "So Sami and EJ are really cleaning everything out they don't want?"

"Yeah," Will nodded, "Mom's been forcing Paul to move things around all day. I think she likes seeing how far she can push him before he gives up and yells at her."

"Sounds like fun," Chad shook his head. "Where's EJ? He said he had something to talk to me about."

"Upstairs I think in one of those lesser used rooms," Will told Chad waiting to hear him run up the stairs.

"So," Sonny turned to face Will, "What's EJ going to tell him?"

"We found out where the baby was going to come from," Will confessed in a low voice. "Stefano apparently bought one at an orphanage."

"What," Sonny's face twisted, "What the hell is wrong with him?"

"Yeah," Will handed the broom to Sonny and reached out for the vacuum.

"Are you OK," Sonny put his hand over the on switch on the vacuum preventing Will from turning it on.

"I think so for the most part. I just, I don't really want to think about it," Will looked at Sonny's face. "I'm more worried about Chad."

"Wait," Sonny gently pushed Will out of the way, "You suck at vacuuming."

Will rolled his eyes slightly as Sonny started up the machine. 'Sonny and his awful puns.' Once Will saw Sonny was done he said, "I decided to help EJ with his proposal by the way."

"I had a feeling you would," Sonny smiled as he knocked his shoulders into Will's. When Will caught his eyes Sonny grinned, "Well with how close you are with him it was pretty obvious."

Sonny didn't want to admit it but knowing EJ wanted to marry Sami made him a bit relieved. 'Even less likely for my nightmare to come true,' Sonny took Will's hand.

Paul was lying face down on Will's bed as Will and Sonny both carefully rubbed against his arm and shoulder, 'And back and hip because I'm apparently an old man now,' Paul thought unhappily.

Despite the pain he was in now Paul felt proud of himself for never losing his cool with Sami. Just like he knew Sami was impressed with him for putting up with her. Wincing when Sonny pushed into a sore spot along his middle back Paul couldn't help but wish his mom had any sort of relationship with Sonny and Will like he did with Sami. 'Hell I'd settle for her acknowledging the fact that we have a relationship.'

Will, trying to be as gentle as possible, leaned down and kissed Paul's cheek when he saw him whimpering. "Thank you for putting up with my mom," Will whispered kissing along Paul's cheek.

"That's part of being in a relationship isn't it? Dealing with crazy in-laws," Paul commented with a small smile.

"Well there's crazy and then there's crazy," Sonny replied. "I think we all know which one we all have to deal with."

"Sorry," Will said quietly.

"It's not just you babe," Sonny chuckled, "All of our families are overbearing and ridiculous."

"My mom beat both of yours up," Will laughed.

"My uncle brought a crazy psychopath to town," Sonny countered lifting his eyebrows at Will.

"My mom called you names in front of half the town," Paul told Will as well.

"EJ tried to kill-" Will started to say but was cut off.

"The point is," Sonny interrupted, "That none of our families are perfect. They've all been too involved and manipulative."

"But we make it work," Paul added.

"OK," Will nodded, "Um, do you think, since we're officially back together that we should try to talk to both of your moms?"

"I would like that," Sonny smiled at Will, fingers going back to digging into Paul's sore muscles.

"I would too but you never know with my mother," Paul groaned again. "You know? It's kind of sad."

"What is," Will wondered rubbing along the back of Paul's neck.

"We've hurt you more times than we like to think about," Paul explained, "And yet somehow we're all still closer with your family who everyone in town thinks is nuts."

Will shrugged and pursed his lips, "I guess that is pretty sad." Changing the subject Will asked, "Want to help me brainstorm proposal ideas?"

"Maybe we should stick you back in the hot tub," Will suggested as Paul slowly made his way down the stairs for dinner.

"I'll be fine," Paul dismissed Will's concern. "I am just apparently turning into an old person."

Sonny, arm around Paul's waist, helped him into the dinner room.

Sami, glancing over at Paul, tried not to smile, "You could have told me you needed a break you know?"

"I tried," Paul argued, "You said to suck it up."

Sami shrugged, "Well you obviously didn't need it that badly if you weren't adamant."

"Mom," Will said scornfully, "Quit trying to break my boyfriend."

"He can still lie on his back," Sami replied since the children weren't in the room yet, "I'm sure he makes you do all the work anyway."

"Mom," Will sputtered out face bright red.

Sonny snickered, remembering the night before, "Actually, Sami-"

"No," Will yelled out, "We are not having this conversation. Nu uh, no way."

"Oh come on," Sami pleaded, "You told me all about your first kiss and when you said I love you. You never tell me the juicy stuff."

Paul, amused and slightly envious, said teasingly, "Well last night we were in a hot tub."

"And Will was a bossy little thing," Sonny continued watching the way Will's face turned redder and redder.

Sami, knowing her son well enough to know they were encroaching on dangerous territory, smiled, "Sounds about right. Now, do you want to hear all about the time I caught him and Neil pressed against the front door?"

The smiles on Paul and Sonny's faces fell instantly.

"Mom," Will complained in a strained voice despite the small smile creeping on his face.

"What," Sami asked trying to sound innocent, "His hands were all over your butt and your mouth was as red as your cheeks are now."

"Who was touching Will's butt," Allie asked as she skipped over to her seat.

"Ew," Sydney giggled as she sat down.

Johnny, looking rather protective, glared between Sonny and Paul suspiciously.

Paul and Sonny both lifted their hands up innocently.

"Neil," Will laughed, "A long time ago."

"Oh," Allie pushed her hair behind her ears. "He's cuuuute."

"Excuse me," EJ said as he walked in the room with a pale Chad following behind him. "But you are not allowed to think anyone is cute, ever."

"I don't think Neil is going to be a problem," Will rolled his eyes at EJ. "Sorry, Allie," Will smiled at her, "Neil has a boyfriend."

"It's not you is it," Johnny asked as he crossed his arms. "I think you have too many already."

EJ, sitting next to his youngest son, smiled proudly as he crossed his arms as well.

"Oh god," Will shook his head looking between EJ and Johnny in horror, "There's going to be two of them soon."

Sami, serving the dinner she had delivered, smiled widely as everyone started eating and chatting. Even Sonny and Paul being there didn't bother her as much as she thought they would.

'I could get used to this,' Sami thought as she began to eat.

Author's note:

Everyone getting along with Sami and EJ? Will making a good impression on Paul's grandfather? Is the world coming to an end?

Also EJ had a nice little breakdown and should be on the mend now soon.

Thanks for reading!

Up next: Will and Sonny officially meet Paul's grandfather and then encounter Tori.

PS I made Hiro not speak English because that's how my Uncle has to talk to his husband's family and I think it's funny.
