Lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, going over the visit with Will, Arianna and that man Paul, had Gabi thinking that Will was not happy or even in this relationship with Paul by his own choice. What she did not understand was why? Why in the world would Will be in this relationship and not be happy. If by chance he was not happy, why was he not leaving? It is not like he was forced into it by some kind of threat. Would that be possible? Would Will really do something so out of the ordinary and if so, why had no one else in their friends and family ever noticed. It had only taken her one visit to realize that Paul was not a nice person and that there was something wrong with this relationship.

Then she remembered her own days with Nick. How many times had Will and Sonny had tried to tell her about his true visage and she had refused to listen. She had blamed them, saying they were jealous or they did not want to see her happy. She had been wrong. She had thought she had found the perfect man, in fact she was bedding the devil incarnate. Looking back now, she sees how he had manipulated her into thinking that Will and Sonny were against her being happy. He had tried to separate Will from his own daughter. She had to hold back a taunting laugh at herself. She was so naive...no she was stupid. Now she is incarcerated because she had taken the wrong step to separate herself from Nick. She knows now she had other choices, but then in those days, killing him was her only option.

Gabi cringed at the thought of what she had almost done with Nick. Now she would be damned if she would allow Paul to control Will in a similar manner. She had to speak to someone. She had to put words of her doubt into someone else's mind. She had to see if anyone else sees the difference in Will or that Will is never found without Paul. One of the first signs of dominance in a relationship is taking away everything the other holds precious. His livelihood, his friends, his family and finally his freedom. Gabi had decided to talk to T as he was still Will's friend. Sonny would help if he knew the truth, but for now she needed to get more proof before speaking to Sonny. Till then she would see how Sonny is doing and figure out how he fits into Will's life. Basically see if he still loves Will and would he fight for Will? Would he fight to get him back, if not then at least fight to free Will from Paul's clutches.

At home Will was in the shower after another round of sex with Paul. He was starting to hate those moments, and yet, he could not find a way to stop him from having sex or even sleeping on the same bed. He almost cried to himself while in the shower while thinking about how much he missed Sonny. Sonny. His love and his husband...no. He was no longer his husband, he was his ex-husband. Just the thought of that made the tears come harder and faster. He had to make sure he made no noise, to have to explain to Paul the reason behind the tears would not end well for him. He wanted to avoid it at all cost.

He continued to weep quietly for the loss of his love, his marriage, Arianna's Daddy Sonny and finally the loss of his integrity, which caused him to cheat on Sonny and had the rippling effect that he was now faced with. He showered while crying and hoping against all hope that he would be able to find a way to get away from Paul and find his way back to Sonny. He knew he had not only an uphill battle, but the hill more or less looked like a mountain he had to climb.

Will finished his shower and got dressed for bed, but before that he went to Arianna's room and read her some bed time stories and help her get to sleep, hoping that she will have sweet dreams of Sonny just like he wanted and needed. He walked into Arianna's room shocked to find that Paul had already read her the book and she was now sound asleep in her crib with Paul watching her. He felt a little uncomfortable seeing Paul in his daughters room. He didn't think that Paul would do any horrible thing, but he was afraid that maybe Paul would gain Arianna's trust enough to convince her to leave with him and Will would never see her again. He knew Paul was capable of that.

Paul looked at Will standing at the door and smiled his sweet smile before walking towards Will and pulling him into a hug. While he held Will, he spoke in a very low voice so as not to wake up Arianna.

"Will, I have to say that Arianna is the most beautiful girl and sweetest girl ever. I cannot believe she actually allowed me to read to her and then she just pointed to her crib as if she wanted to go into it, and when I put her in the crib, she laid down and looked up at me and said good night."

Will could not believe that Paul could be so sweet and tender with his daughter, but he was happy that Paul, if nothing else, loved Arianna enough to never hurt her. He felt a little comfort in Paul's words. They were spoken so softly that Will had no doubt that Paul would do good by her. He was now even more confused as far as Sonny was concerned. He wanted to make sure Sonny would be a huge part of Arianna's life, but now that Paul was getting close to her, would that even be possible? He hugged Paul back and said thank you for taking care of Arianna while he showered. Paul then took Will's hand and led him into their bedroom.

Will thought he would have to 'put out' again for Paul, but once inside the room, Paul led Will to the bed and helped him get into it and then went to the other side and got into the bed next to Will and spooned him from behind. Paul put his arm around Will's waist and pulled him into his own body and held him close. Will felt Paul kiss the nape of his neck and then say that he loved him and then went to sleep. Will stayed awake for a long time wondering what the hell was going on. One minute Paul could act like he didn't give a damn and then tonight he was acting like they were one big happy family.

The next day was even more confusing. By the time Will got up, Paul was showered and dressed and asked Will to get Arianna ready as he had a surprise for them both. Will hated surprises, but everything was going so well, he really didn't feel like ruining it. So he did as he was told. He dressed Arianna and put some clothes into her diaper bag for her. She was getting potty trained, but he still carried a bag of clothes and some diapers just in case of emergency's. Arianna was good at being potty trained, but even good babies had bad days and Arianna was not exception.

Once they were all dressed, they went downstairs and met Paul in the kitchen where he had a to go coffee waiting for Will. Will took it and pecked Paul on the lips as a thank you. Paul then tickled Arianna as her good morning and started to talk to her about getting a surprise from them both. Will was not involved but Paul made it sound like he had a hand in planning this trip. Paul then held Arianna, while Will got his coffee, Arianna's diaper bag and followed them out the door heading towards the garage. Paul set Arianna in her car seat and then took his seat behind the wheel. He waited till Will was settled and put his own belt on, then he went out of the garage. To Will's surprise, Paul took his hand in his and smiled at him in another sweet smile as the night before.

They drove for about an hour before they came to Legoland Discovery center and then told Will they were going to head to Sheed Aquarium. Will could not believe that Paul would do so much for Arianna. He turned around his seat to see if Arianna knew where they were and the smile on her face and the excitement he saw on her face told him this was the best thing to ever happen to her. Paul parked the car and got out and made sure to take Arianna out of her seat and asked Will to get the stroller from the trunk, he had packed that as well just in case Arianna got tired of walking and they got tired of carrying her.

When they got to the area where the Legoland entrance was, Arianna was hardly containable in Paul's arms. He laughed and then looked at Will with amusement in his voice. Will just smiled and tried to take Arianna from him, Paul rejected the idea but gave up so he could hold Will instead. When Will had Arianna in his arms, she wiggled and giggled at the possibility of whats to come. Will almost jumped along with Arianna when he felt Paul's hands around his waist pulling him closer. Paul then kissed Will on his cheeks and said he was happy he could make Arianna so happy.

I am so sorry for taking this long time with this chapter, but my muse had left me for a while and I had a really tough time coming up with how I wanted to talk this story. I know that I am starting to make Paul look good, but there is a reason behind it. I promise you will find out soon. But not too soon. Please review and if you have any ideas for this story, I would love to hear it...or in this case read it. Thank you all for liking my story.
