A Valentine's Day cliche

A\N: Happy Valentines Day Angels! I hope you're having a good day. This Willicia oneshot  is cheesy and romantic. I've finally got a Valentine, and I couldn't be happier, so I've obviously made Alicia Will's Valentine!  I hope you enjoy this one, Angels.

It isn't the smell of pancakes and coffee wafting in from the kitchen that wakes her up from the deep slumber she's been in for the past six hours. 

It isn't the whispers of Zach and Grace as they enter her bedroom. 

It isn't the sound of a tray gently being put down on her dresser. 

It isn't the combined weights of her children as they jump onto her bed (though it causes her to grunt softly as they land on either side of her.)

It isn't even the soft laughter coming from the doorway, a laugh she'll recognise anywhere.

It's the words spoken by the man as he enters her bedroom, kissing her softly on her forehead. "Happy Valentines Day, Leesh." 

Her eyes crack open, a smile slowly spreads across her face, as her eyes land on the face of Will Gardner. "Happy Valentines Day, Will." She says before turning to Zach and Grace and hugging them close to her. 

The smell of pancakes and coffee hit her nostrils as she sits up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. The tray containing pink heart shaped pancakes a mug full of coffee is across her lap faster than she can blink. She turns to her kids. "Which one of you made this?" She asks with a smile directed at them. Grace beams as she points to Will. Alicia's eyebrows raise. "Will, you did this?" She asks as she looks at him. He's made himself comfortable by her feet, he nods like a proud peacock, happy with himself. "Thanks, Will." She takes a bite of the pancake and giggles when she tastes chocolate in them.

After eating three out of the four heart shaped pancakes and two cups of coffee, she kisses her kids and hugs Will before climbing out of bed and getting dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, brushing her hair and teeth before joining her kids and best friend in her living room where she gasps at the sight she's staring at:

Dozens of pink and red balloons decorate every surface of the living room, with cards and neatly wrapped presents on the coffee table, with Cary, Diane and Kurt standing around. 

"H...how did you do this?" She asks as she looks around her living room. Not even Peter went this far on Valentines Day. He just got her a card that was written by his intern, and a dinner with the kids. 

It's Zach who answers her stammered sentence. "Well after everything you've done since Dad's affairs: getting us back our feet, staying with him so that me and Grace are happy, sacrificing your own happiness and love with Will who's made you really smile and laugh in years for us, getting a job at a top law firm, not giving up when you felt like you were failing, kicking ass in the court room, and overall being a kickass Mom," he pauses, letting Grace continue. "me and Zach thought you deserved some of that happiness and love back into your life."  She's tackled in a joint hug by her little boy and her little girl and they fall to the floor in a hug. 

"We love you, Mom." Grace says as they get to their feet, she cups their faces. "I love you guys too, so much." 

Alicia sits on the floor, opening the presents that are the coffee table.  

Grace had gotten her a new pair of headphones after her other ones had broken. 

Zach had gotten her some earrings to match every outfit she wears.
