"Alright people we've got all the tasks divided up on this sheet," Sami loudly called to the large group of volunteers outside the orphanage. Looking up from her sheet Sami said, "Baseball volunteers?"

"Here," Paul lifted his hand. It took very little convincing for Jesse and the other coaches to sign up for this. The details of the charity game were still being fine-tuned but they still wanted to be here for today.

Seeing Paul and the entire team all in their matching baseball shirts made Sami nod. 'At least I'll be able to figure out who needs to go where.' Clearing her throat Sami said, "You are on paint detail. We've got all the supplies you need here." She pointed to the large boxes of supplies laid on the ground. "Each room has a different color so make sure you're following the plans."

"Police and firemen," Sami yelled out next. Finding her father, Hope and Rafe standing near the front Sami declared, "You're on cleanup and demo. Make sure everything is clean before the painters get in there. I want it sparkling."

"Where are my single volunteers," Sami demanded. Seeing the others, all in the DiMera Enterprises shirts she passed out when they signed up Sami nodded, "I've got several other jobs to do as well. We need babysitters, anyone willing to move and assemble the furniture when it gets here. Got it?"

"If you get hungry or thirsty," Sami reminded everyone, "Coffee and snacks are provided by Common Grounds. We'll break for lunch and dinner provided by The Brady Pub. If you have any questions please come and see me. Now I want everything done before the night is over. Now, where's my demolition crew? I want that kitchen and those bathrooms taken care of right away."

As everyone started moving towards their positions Sami smiled to see it all come together. 'Will is going to be so happy,' Sami thought before turning around and looking for him. 'Wait, where did he go?'


Will, along with Johnny, Allie and Sydney, were outside with the children from the orphanage. The orphanage employees were of course watching Will to make sure nothing happened but Will was having fun. EJ, Justin, Chad, Brian and Neil were all attempting to put together some playground equipment that Justin and Adrienne had donated. Will had wanted to help them as well but anytime he tried to do anything too strenuous someone appeared out of no where to stop him.

Getting over his annoyance, Will was just glad that they had all thought to bring warm coats, hats and gloves for all the children beforehand. While it wasn't particularly cold outside today and most of the snow had melted from the last storm Will didn't want anyone getting sick. 'I'm just glad that Aunt Kayla and Daniel are bringing that mobile clinic by later.'

It was rough for Will helping his mom organize everything that needed to be done today. He loved spending time with all the kids but it was so hard. For all the problems he faced growing up he knew there were always people that loved him. 'My parents were literally fighting over who got to keep me and these kids don't have anyone.'

Altogether there were about twenty children. The employees all told Will that was relatively low compared to some years. While the police were still investigating some of the adoptions they were trying to make sure they kept the newly formed families intact. Will was really just hoping that all this good publicity and press lead to more families stepping up ready to adopt. 'Or foster some kids,' Will thought a bit surprised when he found out there wasn't a program set in place. 'We're just going to have to change that.'

Hearing a small cry Will turned away from watching the kids running and playing outside and looked at the small bundle in his arms. He knew it wasn't particularly healthy for him to become so attached to the baby but he couldn't help it. Every time he stopped by the orphanage he had to visit him. While he had a hard time calling him Santo sometimes due to how the name originated the baby seemed to respond to it.

"Shh," Will started bouncing him slightly. He knew Santo wasn't used to being up so early or outside for so long but Will didn't want him inside when there was so much paint and dust and noise. Instead he stuck him in the warmest outfit he could find and wrapped him in two blankets. The two were sticking close to a small portable heater Will brought outside with him. Will was convinced Santo was still a little bit sick. When Santo batted his eyes open finally and caught sight of Will's smiling face he reached his tiny little fingers up and touched Will's chin and gurgled happily.

"How long has that been going on?" Justin asked EJ gesturing towards Will as they stood looking over a set of directions to go with their play structure.

"Too long," EJ looked towards William and the baby. He had tried to make William stay away from him but it didn't seem to matter to William.

"What are you going to do about it?" Justin questioned feeling a bit concerned when he could see both Will and the baby gazing at each other adoringly.

EJ revealed, "I'm working on it."

"What's that all about?" Gray asked Paul as they both looked out a window overlooking the backyard. They each could clearly see Will interacting with a baby.

"It's complicated," Paul explained going back to painting. 'Will said he wasn't going to try to keep him. Will knows he can't keep him. But look at him smile at the baby. Fuck, this is going to be awful when he has to leave him.'

Paul and Sonny had done everything they could think of to convince Will to stop spending so much time with the baby. They told him to stop holding him and feeding him and getting attached. 'It's not healthy for either of them.'

Paul wanted to run outside and convince Will to hand the baby off to someone else but he couldn't. 'That stupid paperwork I signed said I can't have any contact with him while doing school activities. When we get home tonight we have to convince him once and for all.'

Paul dipped his roller back in the paint and tried to focus on the task at hand. He triple checked they had the right paint in the right room. He didn't want to deal with a furious Sami Brady today on top of worrying about Will. 'Sling or no sling I get the feeling she wouldn't be too generous today.'

Sami smiled widely when she saw the plumber and electrician walking up the drive. Checking off two spots on her long list she reached forward to shake their hands. "Gentlemen," she greeted. She reached through the notebook she was holding for all of the permits and plans she had for each room. "Follow me."

Brian and Neil sat down next to Will cautiously.

"You don't have to look at him like that," Will teased, "It's just a baby."

"Well I don't know what to do with babies," Brian defended. Looking at the round little face Brian gave it a half smile, "Although it is cute." He wiggled his fingers at it.

"It has a name. This is Santo," Will said, "Isn't that right?" He adjusted the baby so he was facing him and bounced him up and down, "Yes it is."

Neil, side eyeing Will, asked, "Are you alright doing this?"

"Doing what?" Will wondered before deciding it was time to give him a bottle. His mom and he had spent an entire evening going through a baby store picking out everything he or the orphanage could possibly need. Will was just glad he thought to bring this stuff outside with him. 'Now where's that formula and bottle warmer?'

"Will you hold him?" Will held him out towards Brian.

"Uh," Brian floundered a bit not quite sure exactly what to do. Cradling his head carefully Brian smiled awkwardly. "What I meant was should you be getting this attached to a baby that isn't yours?"

"I'm fine," Will insisted quickly, "I know that I can't keep him. I just like being around him."

When Santo started squirming and crying Brian panicked a bit. Trying to rock him in his arms Brian replied, "I still think you shouldn't be doing this. You aren't going to handle it if he gets adopted and you never see him again."

Coming back over with the bottle Will took Santo back, smiling when his cries instantly stopped, and said, "I'm doing fine, Bri-Bri."

"Maybe Blondie is doing fine but I don't know if the baby is," Brian mumbled under his breath to Neil.

Sonny, helping lay out some snacks and starting up two large industrial-sized coffee makers, smiled as he saw all the volunteers going in and out of the orphanage. After making sure both coffee houses were in good hands Sonny headed over with a few employees that didn't have to go into work today.

Amanda, warming up to Sonny a bit, started putting out sugar, creamer, coffee cups and stirrers. She didn't want to admit that Sonny was an OK boss. Who could stay mad at someone volunteering at an orphanage anyway?

"Are you two OK to stay out here and watch everything?" Sonny asked Amanda and another girl.

"Yeah, sure," Amanda replied, "But if the firemen start taking their clothes off we're switching!"

Sonny laughed, "Nope I'm the boss. I get the good job."

Wandering inside Sonny wondered where he should get started when he saw his mother heading up the stairs. He hadn't yet talked to his mother about her involvement in Uncle Vic's scheme and he wasn't sure he was going to. 'Everything is going so well I don't know if I should bring it up now.'

Following after his mother Sonny was amazed to see the progress that was being made. Every room had a team of people working hard. Taking his time looking over everything Sonny smiled widely pleased to see that everything Will and Chad wanted to happen was happening. He knew Will wasn't sure about how everything was going to go. 'But letting Sami be in charge has definitely been worth it even if she has been unbearable this past week.'

Wondering which room his mother was in Sonny walked further down the hall and paused when he saw his mom standing closely next to Lucas Horton. Lucas's hand was on his mother's arm and their heads were bent together talking in low voices.

Clearing his throat loudly Sonny looked at Lucas suspiciously. Seeing the way they both practically jumped away from each other Sonny didn't know what to think.

"Sonny," Adrienne greeted with a wide smile. "Lucas and I were going to start assembling some of these bunk beds. Do you want to help?"

"Sure," Sonny replied giving his mother a sharp look. 'Just what the hell did I just see?'


"Who is this?" Kate questioned as she walked outside with a large group of people following her holding boxes and bag.

"This is Santo," Will replied quickly. "Grandma what's all this about?"

"Well," Kate explained, "You know I'm not one for manual labor but I figured the kids might have fun doing a bit of dress up and playing like they're models."

Will watched as a few teenage and pre-teen children started coming over to see what was happening. Some of the workers his grandma brought with her were setting up a tiny runway and there was even a photographer and makeup artist.

Seeing how excited the older kids were getting Will grinned at his grandma, "I love you."

"And I love you," Kate put one arm around Will. "Now why exactly are you holding a baby?"

"I like him," Will shrugged, "And he likes me too."

Noting how the baby was drooling and gnawing on Will's fingers Kate nodded, "I see that. I just hope you know what you're doing."

"I'm just trying to make sure that all of these kids have a fair shot, Grandma," Will defended. He knew he was getting a bit too attached to Santo. He knew he wasn't listening to everyone's advice but he didn't care exactly. Every time he saw Santo's big blue eyes and happy grin he melted.

"OK," Kate shook her head a bit, "But I think you should talk to Austin about this. If anyone knows what it's like to have a child be taken away from you completely it's him."

"Right," Will pressed his lips together having never even thought of that. "I'll keep that in mind."

"Will," a gruff voice called from behind him.

Will turned around and saw Grandpa Roman coming outside. 'Oh boy,' Will thought.

Sitting down, feeling the strain in his muscles from such hard work, Roman looked over Will, "You look good, kid."

"Thanks," Will responded. He wasn't sure how to interact with his grandpa after everything. Will knew he had fixed things with his dad but his grandpa hadn't made any effort to talk with him about what happened.

"I think you're doing a really great thing here," Roman informed Will. Looking over the backyard, seeing the children running and playing or trying out outfits and getting made up Roman had never felt prouder of his grandson.

"I know that I wasn't supportive of you before," Roman confessed. He was having a hard time expressing his feelings about Will. "I still don't think I completely understand the gay thing. But I'm going to give it my best shot."

Will licked over his lips, adjusting Santo in his arms when he started falling asleep, "Thank you. That's all I really want anyway for you to try."

"Well being here," Roman gestured around them both, "Really puts everything into perspective, doesn't it?"

"It's definitely shown me how lucky all of us really are," Will nodded.

"Now," Roman stood up carefully, feeling his back spasm a bit, "I'm getting back to work. And you, you just make sure you're happy and safe, got it?"

"No problem, Grandpa," Will smiled slightly.

"And it would make me feel better if you came by the station one of these days and I taught you some gun safety," Roman teased at Will, "Just to make sure you can take care of yourself."

"I am not getting a gun," Will laughed incredulously. 'EJ would fear for his life.'


A few hours later Will and Chad were standing inside the brightly colored nursery. All the furniture that was in their house had been brought over. Will and Chad were shoving the multitude of outfits Will and Sami had bought the other night into the dresser while Santo played in his new plushy crib.

"Everything seems to be going awesome," Chad commented. "The kitchen's already almost done."

"Contractors work quick when they have to," Will nodded, "That or they're afraid of my mom."

"I'm gonna go with that one," Chad declared before closing a drawer. Walking over to the crib he grinned down at the baby. "Do you think all the kids are going to be happier now?"

"They looked like they were happier earlier," Will stated. "And they liked everything when mom and I showed them our plans. Plus they got to pick out the stuff that goes in all the rooms. I really, really hope they're happier."

"They'll be healthier at least," Chad pointed out. "Since we got the heater fixed."

"And the grant DiMera Enterprises gave out goes towards food so they'll get better options there too," Will reminded himself. "I just hate knowing that not everyone is going to get adopted."

"Me too," Chad agreed. "It's hard to handle but at least we're doing everything we can to help. Plus we've still got the baseball game planned and the toy drive for Christmas. Not to mention we're trying to figure out the foster program."

"I know," Will smiled slightly when Santo looked up and reached out for him and Chad. Picking him up easily Will added, "It just doesn't seem like enough especially for this guy."

"Well," Chad tickled under Santo's chin, "He's special."

Hearing a loud series of honks outside Will looked behind the curtains and smiled. "The mobile clinic is here. Let's go get you checked out, huh, little guy."

Chad put his hand on Will's shoulder, "Don't be so down. We're doing something awesome. And you know what they say?"

Will looked at Chad warily, "What do they say?"

Having been holding this in all day Chad half laughed half sang, "The sun will come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow-"

"Oh my god, shut up," Will shoved Chad slightly as baby Santo stared at Chad enthralled with the singing.


"Well," Kayla handed the crying baby back to Will. "He does have an ear infection but I think with some drops he should be OK. He could stand to gain some more weight though."

"We started giving him this formula," Will, patting Santo on the back until his cries subsided, handed his aunt one of the cans he had bought, "Is that the right kind?"

Reading over the label Kayla smiled, "Yeah this should be good for him." Watching Will and Chad interact with the baby made Kayla nervous. She knew better than to believe any of the nonsense she had seen in the newspaper but still, 'Something doesn't seem right here.'

"Will, honey," Kayla sat down and faced her nephew. "Are you sure you know what you're doing here?"

"I-I know," Will gave her a painfully fake smile. "I'm just helping."

"Well," Kayla swallowed and tried to explain in as nice of way as she could, "I think that cute little baby there is getting as attached to you as you are to him. What happens when you have to leave him here and he wants you and none of the employees can soothe him?"

"I," Will licked his lips, holding Santo against him when he nuzzled into his neck, "I don't know."

"As a medical professional and as your aunt I am telling you I think you need to take a step back, honey," Kayla patted Will's knee. "Before anyone gets hurt."

Chad and Will stepped out of the clinic allowing another child to go inside. Chad didn't want to admit it but maybe everyone was right. 'Especially about Will,' Chad shook his head, 'He's definitely getting in over his head.'

"Will," Chad put his hand on his shoulder, forcing Will to face him, "I think that maybe she has a point."

"I know she does," Will admitted miserably, "But that doesn't mean I have to like it."

"Don't have to like what," came a voice from beside them.

Will glanced up and smiled when he saw his Grandma Marlena walking towards them.

"Grandma," Will greeted, "What are you doing here?"

"Well," Marlena put her hand around Will's hips and giving him a squeeze, "I knew I had to do my part to help so here I am. Actually I brought someone else with me to offer her medical expertise too."

"Hello, Will," Wendy greeted. "The hospital sent us over as well to help with the clinic."

"Oh," Will blinked looking between his grandma and his therapist. Realizing what she meant Will nodded, "No that's fantastic. I'm sure a lot of these kids would love to have someone to talk to about everything. I'm really glad you're both here."

Seeing the protective way Will was holding the baby against him Wendy couldn't help from asking, "Who is that?"

"Um," Will looked at her sadly, "One of the kids here."

"I see," Wendy looked into Will's eyes.

"That's going to be something we talk about at our next session, isn't it?" Will asked a bit unnecessarily.

"Yes," Wendy nodded before Daniel walked over to her and Marlena and began to show them where they were going to be stationed.


Sonny held onto Paul's hand following behind Will, Sami and Chad as they inspected the house over. It was a little after five o'clock and everything was done. All the walls were painted and dried. All the floors were swept and mopped. The furniture was delivered and assembled. All the bathrooms were done as well as the kitchen even though the tile still needed to dry.

Will, still holding onto Santo, smiled widely at every single thing he saw. "This is so much better than I was expecting," Will said breathlessly. "I can't even believe it. Everyone worked so hard."

"Of course they did," Sami bragged. "When this town really puts their mind to something we can get things accomplished."

Chad felt like crying just a little bit, "We should get all the kids to come look. See what they think."

Will and Chad stood side by side watching as all the children ran from room to room screaming in excitement. "I'm gonna guess they like it," Will commented.

"Sounds like it," Chad agreed. They had definitely made the right decision letting each kid pick out something they wanted in their rooms. "They all look happy."

"They do," Will agreed. "I just hope this helps them handle everything while we try to find homes for them all."

"Even this one," Chad asked jiggling Santo in his arms until he laughed happily.

"Yes," Will said after a few beats. "I want him to find a home too."

Chad checked the time on his phone and said, "Isn't EJ going to get started on his proposal in a few minutes?"

"Oh, crap," looking at Santo Will made a face, "I mean shoot. I almost forgot." Taking the baby from Chad Will said, "It's show time little guy."


As Will carefully strapped the baby into the car seat he had installed before he came over Will looked over his shoulder at Sarah, the orphanage employee that was in charge of Santo, "And you know I'm not actually kidnapping him right? I mean, I signed him out but I just want to double check."

"I know," Sarah gave Will a secretive grin. After Will closed the door to the car Sarah said, "I'm sorry, by the way, for how I treated you and Chad the first time I met you. None of us thought that there might have been anything strange going on so I'm sorry. And you've done a really great thing helping out here."

"Thank you," Will gave her a shy smile. "I just hope that it helps in the long run."

"It will," she nodded at Will, "Now go get started on that proposal."

Will got in the car dialed a number, "Hey, I'm leaving now. Give it a few minutes and get started."

"OK," Sonny nodded with a smile, "This is kind of exciting you know helping with this elaborate proposal."

"It'll be more exciting when we see the look on my mom's face," Will laughed. "I got to go now. Love you."

"Love you too," Sonny replied before hanging up. Sonny turned to Paul, "Let's see how good of actors we really are."


"Oh my god," Sonny screamed dramatically while rushing outside to where Sami, EJ, their kids and his parents were. "Sami, EJ!"

"What is it?" EJ asked standing up straight attempting to appear concerned.

"It's Will," Paul replied slightly out of breath, "We went to check on him and he's gone. And so is the baby."

"What?" Sami demanded moving closer to Sonny and Paul, "What are you talking about?"

Chad burst through the doors leading to the backyard with Sarah on his heels, "We have to find Will! EJ," Chad ran over quickly, "They said they were going to call the police."

"Wait, wait, wait," EJ held up his hands, "They think William kidnapped the baby?"

"He told me he wanted a few moments with him to say goodnight," Chad ran his hand through his hair, "When I came back to check on him they were gone. His car is missing and he's not answering his phone."

"Oh my god," Sami put her hand on EJ's arm, "EJ we have to find him."

"I'm calling the police back over," Sarah proclaimed as she pulled out her phone and pretended to dial, "Yes I'd like to report a kidnapping."

"EJ," Sami screamed.

"Mommy," Allie asked pulling on her mother's shirt, "Is Will going to go to jail?"

Sami put her hands to her head, "Oh my god."

Johnny, crossing his arms and standing next to EJ, stated, "Over my dead body."

"Alright," EJ started talking over everyone's rumblings, "We need to find him. Where would William go if he was in trouble?"


'OK,' Will thought with a smile as he lit the last candle he had left. He had everything all set up for when everyone burst into the backyard. "This is going to be good," Will told Santo who was looking around at all the candles and fairy lights in awe. "It looks good, doesn't it?"

Hearing a loud commotion Will put Santo into the baby bouncer he brought with him making sure he was near but not too close to the firepit. Double checking he had everything in place Will waited anxiously for everyone to get outside.

Johnny, Allie and Sydney, knowing what they needed to do, ran straight for the backyard as soon as they got home. "Will," they all three whispered excitedly when he held up his finger to his mouth.

"Shh," he reminded them, "We have to be really quiet remember? Now go pick up your cards."

Making sure all three were in the correct order, from oldest to youngest, Will held his breath as he picked up his own and waited for his mom's reaction.

"Will," Sami screamed at the top of her lungs running up the stairs. Slamming his bedroom door open she could have cried when she didn't see him.

EJ followed after her, hand nervously checking to make sure the ring box was still in his pocket, "Is he in here?"

"No," Sami slumped on the bed and put her head in her hands, "This is all my fault. I saw how attached he was getting this week and I didn't do anything. Why didn't we tell him the truth? I can't believe he did this."

EJ sat next to Samantha and put his arm around her shoulders, "It's not your fault. We'll find him and everything will be resolved. You know I won't let anything happen to him."

"I know," Sami looked into EJ's eyes.

"Now," EJ suggested, feeling his palms beginning to sweat, "Why don't we go see if he's in the backyard somewhere?"

Sonny ushered his parents into the mansion and led them outside. Paul, making sure the coast was clear, followed after them. Chad went straight for the baby instantly picking him up.

Adrienne held her hands in front of her mouth she was so excited. Sure she had always had her issues with Sami's many relationships and maybe she didn't think EJ was that great of a guy. 'But I love proposals,' Adrienne thought happily.

Seeing Sami coming outside Paul hit play on the remote for the IPod dock Will had set up behind them. Will explained that it was the same song Sami and EJ danced to at a party on the docks once. He said his mother would appreciate it.

Sami came storming into the backyard and paused when she saw the lights, the candles and heard the music. Opening her mouth to say something Sami stopped when she saw Will beaming at her with a large sign in his hands standing perfectly content with the rest of his siblings.

Not giving Samantha a chance to say anything EJ cleared his throat, ring box clenched tightly in the palm of his hand, "Every other time we've been here before I knew all the right things to say. I knew exactly what I wanted to say. All the other times never lasted either. They were missing something that I know we have now: a real family. So I thought it best if I let our children do the talking for me."

Before Samantha could respond EJ took her hand and nodded at all of their children to flip their signs over.

Sami gasped slightly when she read the four handwritten signs her children were holding up. Put together Sami read easily: Will you marry Daddy?

Sydney, barely visible while holding the large sign, giggled loudly even though she couldn't see anything. "Say yes Mommy," Sydney demanded.

Turning Samantha's hand over EJ placed a ring with a large diamond in the center of her hand, "Darling?"

Sami looked over all of her children's faces and the top of Sydney's forehead. Stopping to look at Will Sami saw him nodding emphatically at her.

Closing her hand over the ring Sami huffed out a teary laugh, wiping at her eyes and nodded.

Relieved beyond belief EJ went to put the ring on her finger, the last engagement ring she would ever have, when he felt her strong hand reach out and slap him.

"You made me think Will kidnapped someone to get me here," Sami demanded loudly. "You are unbelievable," Sami said before standing on her tip toes and kissing him.

Adrienne, wiping away her own tears, leaned against Justin smiling when he kissed the top of her head.

Will tossed his sign to the ground and followed his other siblings over to his mom and EJ to hug and congratulate them.

Smiling when EJ kissed the top of his head several times Will hugged his mom and asked her, "Were you surprised?"

"Yes you big jerk," Sami lightly smacked his chest. "God I can't believe you made me worry like that over nothing."

"It wasn't nothing," Will reminded her, "I'd say it worked out for just about everyone."

Chad walked closer to his family, baby in his arms, as he reached out to shake EJ's hand.

"Actually William," EJ smirked slightly reaching out to take the baby from Chad after they shook hands, "Your mother and I have a surprise for you too."

"OK," Will's forehead wrinkled in confusion as EJ placed Santo in his arms, "What is it?"

Smiling Sami said, "We started on the paperwork a few days ago."

"Paperwork for what?" Will shook his head feeling a tiny bit of hope blossoming in his chest.

"On adopting him of course," EJ replied with a knowing grin. "You didn't think we were just going to leave him there did you?"

"Really?" Will looked at them incredulously. He didn't think he could handle it if they told him it was a trick.

"Yes really," Sami teased Will slightly. "Think you can handle having him as a brother?" Turning to Chad she put her hand on his forearm, "And a nephew?"

"I think we can deal with that, yeah," Will grinned trying not to give into the urge to jump up and down.

"I guess the only thing to do now is plan a wedding," Sami stated finding it hard to keep a smile off her face.

"Actually, Mom," Will shared a look with EJ and Chad, "The three of us were thinking we know a venue that's already booked. I could even show you a menu if you wanted. A destination wedding could be fun."

Sami laughed loudly, "I suppose that's one way of sticking it to Stefano after everything."

As the rest of the guests moved closer EJ announced to everyone, "Who feels like spending Christmas in Tuscany?"


Will was lying sideways on his bed at the mansion staring at Santo slobbering over his tiny fist.

"That worked out for the best, huh?" Paul asked Will as he leaned against the headboard.

"Yeah," Will responded before sitting up and moving to sit in between Paul and Sonny.

"Your mom looked happy," Sonny told Will knowing how something like that would make Will happy as well.

"That's because she is," Will decided. "She's happy. EJ's happy. And all of their kids are happy."

"Especially you," Paul said before kissing the side of Will's head.

"What's not to be happy about?" Will shrugged pulling Sonny closer to him as he wiggled underneath his Paul's arm. "My parents are getting married. Our families are all getting along. And the three of us are finally all on the exact same page."

"And you don't have to take Santo back to the orphanage," Sonny rested his head on Will's chest.

"Is this what you thought was going to happen when you first told me you wanted me to be in your relationship?" Will wondered with a laugh wrinkling his nose.

"Definitely not," Paul decided. "But it worked out for the better."

"Yep," Sonny sighed happily.

"And maybe one day we can have one of our own?" Will asked as Santo grabbed his foot.

"Uh," Paul tried not to panic, "Let's not go there just yet."


Author's note:

I couldn't leave the poor baby at the orphanage after all and either could EJ and Sami.
