This is one of my ideas of how Will and Sonny reconnect after their break-up because Will lied to Sonny about the baby. All of the characters are owned by DOOL. I hope you like this story.
Sonny hadn't talked to Will in over a week and while he was still pissed off at him for lying to him about the baby, he missed him. He missed the littlest things, like not being able to talk to Will about his day or the cute way he smiles when they first wake up in the morning. Sonny was laying in bed and he couldn't think about anything but Will. He looked at the clock and it was only 4:00 AM, but he figured he might as well get up and head to the coffeehouse early. When Sonny opened his apartment door 20 minutes later he saw someone laying in the hallway. At first he figured it was one of his neighbors who had passed out after partying all night and couldn't find their keys.
But then he noticed the person appeared to be bleeding and when he got closer to check on them, he realized it was Will. Sonny knelt down and put his hands on Will's face.
"Will? Will! Come on wake up." Sonny was shaking Will but he wasn't moving. He checked for a pulse. It took a minute to find it but it was there. It was faint but he was alive. A wave of relief washed over him, he had never been so scared before in his life.
He grabbed his cell phone and called 911. They said not to move him so Sonny just sat with him. There was so much blood, he didn't know what to do. He put his hands on Will's forehead to try and stop the bleeding but it wasn't working. Sonny wiped his hands on his shirt and took Will's hand between his and just prayed that he would be okay.
When the paramedics arrived it was a frenzy. Sonny was leaning against the wall watching them work on Will. One of them came and asked if he was okay, indicating the blood on his shit. "I'm fine. It's his blood."
When they went to put Will in the ambulance Sonny got in too. "Sir, you can't ride with us." The paramedic said.
"He's my boyfriend, I'm not leaving him!" Sonny yelled.
"Fine, but stay out of the way."
"I think he's coming around." One of the paramedics said. "Will! Will, I'm here." Faintly Will spoke with his eyes barely open, "Sonny."
"Yeah, I'm here man."
"Sonny. Tell Sonny I love him." And then his eyes closed again.
"Is he okay? What happened?"
"That's normal. He's just disoriented from blood loss. Rest is the best thing for him right now."
"I love you too." Sonny whispered.
When they finally got to the hospital Daniel met them.
"What happened?"
"Young male, unconscious but breathing fine. Bleeding from a laceration on his forehead. Appears to have bruises and cuts from other blunt force trauma to the head."
"Okay we've got it from here, thanks guys. Sonny, what happened?"
"I don't know, I found him like that. Is he gonna be okay?"
"I don't know. I'll let you know when I know more."
Sonny sat in a chair in the waiting room of the ER. Before he could process everything that had happened, he realized he should call Will's parents but he didn't know their numbers. Then he saw Daniel.
"How is he?"
"He's holding his own. We're still trying to figure out how bad the internal damage is. Have you called his family?"
"No. I don't know their numbers."
"I saw Will's phone. I'll grab it for you. If he needs surgery, his parents will need to make those decisions."
"Surgery? Is it that bad?"
"We're not sure yet, hopefully not." Daniel came back a minute later and handed Sonny Will's phone.
Sonny sat down again and when he looked at Will's phone he started to cry. His background was a picture of the 2 of them that they had taken on Halloween when they were goofing around. They were looking into each other's eyes and smiling, they looked so in love. Even though Sonny was mad and felt betrayed, he still loved Will so much and the thought of never getting to see him smile again was almost unbearable.
Sonny found Lucas's number and dialed it on his own phone. After a few rings a sleepy voice answered, "Hello?"
"Lucas, it's Sonny. Will's in the hospital. Can you call Sami and get down here right away?"
"Oh my God, what happened? Is he okay?"
"Just get here, I'll explain what I know then."
"Okay we'll be there soon."
Sonny hung up the phone and just waited looking at the picture on Will's phone trying to remember happier times. Sami and Lucas looked horrified when they saw Sonny covered in blood and crying.
Sami said, "Oh God Sonny! Are you okay? Where's Will?"
Sonny stood up and said, "I'm fine." Gesturing to his shirt "This is Will's blood."
"What happened Sonny?" Lucas asked.
"I don't know. I couldn't sleep so I decided to go to the coffeehouse early. When I left my apartment Will was laying in the hallway bleeding. I don't know what happened. I called 911 and sat with him until the ambulance came. I rode with him and he woke up briefly but then passed out again. Daniel said he was doing okay but they were running tests to see if there was any internal damage."
"Thank you Sonny. For helping Will, and for calling us." Sami said.
"We can stay with him now if you need to get to the coffeehouse or want to go home and get cleaned up." Lucas said.
"I'm good. I don't want to leave until I know Will's okay. I'm gonna call my mom though and have her bring me some clothes."
"Okay. We're gonna go find Daniel." Sami said.
Sonny pulled out his phone and called his mom. "Sonny? To what do I owe this early of a call?"
"Mom?" Sonny's voice broke and he started to cry again. "Can you bring me a change of clothes to the hospital? Something happened to Will and I don't want to leave."
"Sure honey. Is Will okay?"
"We don't know yet."
"Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Thanks mom."
Sonny saw Daniel talking to Lucas and Sami so he rushed over to see if there was any news. "How is he?"
"As I was just telling Lucas and Sami, he suffered several blows to the back of the head. The trauma is worse than we initially thought. His brain is swelling, so we want to put him in a medically induced coma to give his brain time to heal."
"A coma? Isn't that dangerous, what if he doesn't wake up from it?" Sami said, crying.
"There are risks, but they are a lot higher if we do nothing."
"Do it Daniel, whatever you think is best." Lucas said.
Sonny couldn't breathe, he couldn't be here any longer. He turned around and ran outside. He leaned over with his hands on his knees just trying catch his breath. He just wanted this to all be a bad dream and hopefully he'd wake up in bed with Will.
"Sonny?"
He looked up to see his mom standing there. "Mom." Sonny felt so relieved to see his mom, he felt like he was 10 years old again and just needed his mom to fix everything.
"What happened Sonny? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine mom."
"No mother wants to find her son covered in blood."
"This is Will's blood Mom. Did you bring me a change of clothes?"
"Here. I just grabbed the first thing I could find."
"Thanks. I'll be right back." Sonny took the clothes and found a bathroom where he could change. His shirt was ruined, that much blood would never come out, but he couldn't bring himself to throw it away. He went back out to his mom and they sat down to talk.
"So, how's Will? What happened, I thought you two weren't speaking?" Adrienne asked.
"Mom," Sonny's voice broke when he looked at Will's shirt in his hand. He didn't want to lose him. Not now, not after everything. Sonny started crying. "Mom, I don't want him to die."
His mom took him in her arms and just held him, rubbing his back while he sobbed. "Shh. It can't be that bad."
Sonny pulled away wiping tears from his eyes. "He lost so much blood and now they're putting him into a coma to prevent brain damage. What if he doesn't wake up? I was so mad at him, I don't want him to die not knowing that I love him."
"I'm sure he knows that honey. You can sit with him and talk to him, I believe he'll hear you. You just have to have faith."
"I walked out of my apartment this morning and he was laying there covered in blood. I don't know what happened or who did this to him. I don't know how he got to my place and I just wish he would wake up and tell us what happened. Will is so nice, who would do this to him mom?"
"I don't know honey. Have you talked to the police?"
"No. But I should. I think they were around talking to Daniel earlier. Do you think I should call dad?"
"I don't think so. If they ask you anything you think is suspicious or don't want to answer you can always call your dad. Do you want me to come with you?"
"No thanks. I should do this on my own. Thanks for being here for me and listening."
"Always. Call me if you need anything. I love you and I'll be praying for Will."
"Thanks mom."
Sonny stood up and hugged his mom. He found the police officer talking to Lucas and Sami but they didn't know anything.
"Is there anyone else who might have any information about your son? Where can I find his boyfriend Sonny Kiriakis?" The police officer asked.
"I'm right here sir. I was just coming to make my statement."
"We're gonna check on Will. Sonny, he's in room 324 if you want to come up when you're done." Sami said.
"Thanks Mrs. Brady, I will." He sat down and explained what he knew.
The officer told him he would contact him if he had any more questions. "One last question. Do you know anyone he hurt or who had a grudge against him?"
"Will's the sweetest guy." Sonny paused for a minute, thinking. "But there are 2 people who he's had problems with recently. Gabi Hernandez and Nick Fallon, who just got out of prison a few months ago."
"Okay thanks. We'll look into this"
"Thank you." As Sonny got up to go to Will's room none other than Nick Fallon walked into the ER of the hospital and locked onto Sonny.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sonny asked angrily.
"Can't a guy stop by the hospital to check on a friend?" Nick said smugly, with a small smirk on his lips.
"You son of a bitch!" Sonny yelled and with all of his anger and worry and hate, he punched Nick, knocking him to the ground.
Nick sat up looking surprised, wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. "I'll get you for this" he said angrily.
Sonny turned around and said, "At least I left you conscious which is more than you did for Will." And with that he turned around and walked away.
