Chapter 2

The next morning Will wakened in his dorm room with a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. Sonny was nowhere to be seen and the memories of his little argument with Nick the night before had started to flood back to him so he decided he would get dressed and head to Common Grounds for a coffee.

He walked towards his wardrobe and pulled out a pair of grey trousers and his grey t-shirt with black markings on it; the outfit he had worn the night his daughter was conceived. He took a comb through his hair, picked his mobile up from the side of his desk and rushed out the door

Over at the Kiriakis mansion Gabi had felt the same feeling in her stomach when she woke up that morning and she knew it was nothing to do with the way the baby was lying. She heaved herself out of bed and stood in front of the tall mirror. She placed a hand protectively on her rather large bump and realised that Nick was nowhere to be seen.

She decided she was really craving a muffin from Common Grounds and made her way into the closet to get changed. She rummaged through her shelves checking what actually still fitted her when she found a tiny black miniskirt and crop top, the same outfit she had worn the night she had gotten pregnant by Will. She sighed and placed the way too small items of clothing on the shelf and opted for something more pregnancy appropriate. She chose a pair of navy leggings, a scoop necked striped top and a white cardigan but she still felt that something wasn't right.

She grabbed her bag, a pair of flats and her key and headed for Horton Town Square.

Will and Sonny were sitting in the coffee house discussing some plans for date night when Gabi walked in. And sat at the counter waiting to be served, sadly for Gabi her least favourite barista was there and all Will and Sonny could do was watch on in horror as Chad turned around."What can I get…?" Chad started to say but stopped when he saw it was Gabi sitting on the stool in front of him. He adjusted his apron, gave her a stare and opened his mouth, "I'm not serving you Gabi".

Gabi's face fell and she turned around looking to catch Will or even Sonny's eye and get help with her situation. Before she could even open her mouth to call for Will he was on the stool beside her asking Chad if she could have a muffin. Will then took Chad aside and asked him just to be nice to Gabi for the next week until the baby was due. When Gabi was out of earshot Will also added she had enough stress with Nick Fallon for a husband!

Gabi in her head praised Will for the way he handled the situation. If that had been Nick he would have made some remark to Chad about Melanie and threaten him to be nice to Gabi. That's what Gabi admired about Will, a child with parents who are Sami Brady and Lucas Horton should never have been as calm, reasonable and well-mannered as he was. Suddenly she was snapped out of her daydream by the clink of a plate against the counter top where her muffin lay and the noise of Nick's raspy voice in her ear.

"Oh, Hey Nick" Gabi managed to whisper still half in her daydream.

"Look Gabi, can we take a walk" Nick asked

"But I just got a muffin and little AG's hungry" she replied looking in Will's direction for support but he was too busy staring into Sonny's eyes.

Nick laughed before his face fell into a serious expression again, "Little AG? Where did you get that one from Gabs? It's practically the worst nick name ever. Anyway can we please go at walk I need to tell you something".

Gabi gave a small fake laugh and realised she had used Will's nickname for their daughter. She wouldn't tell Nick where she got it from though he would be far from pleased but she was interested in what he had to tell her so she asked Nick to help her off of the stool and agreed to go a walk with him. She said her goodbye's to Will and followed Nick out of the door but that feeling in the pit of her stomach still remained.

Will sat back down beside Sonny at their table and placed down his large mug of black coffee. He turned back to his studies and was just about to continue his essay when he saw Sonny was staring at him in a non-boyfriend sort of way.

"What?" Will asked breaking Sonny's stare.

"I just don't know how you do it Will" Sonny started

"Do what?" Will asked, confused.

"Do what? Will your sitting there all casual with a cup of coffee studying for finals and talking to me. I'll be honest Will I'd be a nervous wreck; you're going to be a dad in a few days!" Sonny tried to finished his sentence but Will kissed him to shut him up instead.

As Will pulled away from Sonny he tried to explain why he wasn't worried. "Sonny I've knew I was going to be a dad since November I've had so much time to get it into my head. And as for Rafe, I know he'll pull through. He's got my grandma and Gabi and Aunt Hope is doing all she can to find his attacker. I'm happy with my life right now"

Sonny looked at his boyfriend in admiration, "I Love You, You do know that?"

"How could you not" Will smirked. "Fancy a walk, it's a beautiful day?"

Sonny nodded his head in agreement and they packed up their stuff and headed for the park.

Nick and Gabi were walking through the park when they decided to sit on the bench. One: because Gabi was tired and two: because it was a beautiful day in Salem. Gabi placed her and on her bump and and scrunched up her face like she was in pain.

"Are you okay Gabi?" Nick asked worriedly.

"Yea, she's just kicking really hard. I think she's trying to get out" Gabi made up a fake excuse as a reply. In her head it felt like more than just Arianna kicking and more like the time she was in premature labour but she couldn't tell Nick that so she just pretended everything was fine. It was easier that way.

A shady figure, the strange man from the coffee house placed his hand on Nick's shoulder and watched a the young man slowly turned around.

"Nick Fallon?" the strange man asked "I'm Noah Jensen from the FBI, I'm here to speak with you about a Craig Vargas.

"What do you wanna know?" Nick asked intrigued as he kept his hand on Gabi beside him.

"It's about the $30000 he gave you" Jensen said informatively.

"$30000!" Gabi's mouth opened wide in shock.

"Gabi let me handle this" Nick demanded. He turned his head to Jensen "I'm sorry, I have no clue what you're on about, I think you have the wrong guy"

"Mr Fallon, I'm on your side" Jensen said sweetly "I can help you get away from Craig Vargas but I have to know where the money is".

"I have don't know man!" Nick shouted as he paced to the far side of the bench.

While Nick's back was turned Jensen had tied Gabi's wrists together with rope and blindfolded her. He then lifted her hand and placed his gun in the direct line of her temple.

Nick turned back around and saw what Jensen had done to Noah. He ran to the man and tried to grab the gun from him but instead he saw it pointed in his line of fire instead.

"Oh, Nick. You really thought I was good guy didn't you. You see that money you don't have is mine. I gave it to Vargas because we had a deal before someone got him those extra years in prison, he said you would double it, even triple it but no, you've lost it. I overheard you down the pier yesterday talking to a blond lady who you accused of stealing it but now I'm getting my payback so if you want your little wifey and that baby of yours to be safe I suggest you DO AS I SAY!".

Nick backed away from Jensen and held his wrists behind his back so he could tie the rope and turned back around to face him so the blindfold could be tied over his eyes.

Jensen grabbed Nick and Gabi by the shoulder and pushed them infront of him guiding them towards the old warehouses at the pier.

Meanwhile not so far away Will and Sonny had just seen everything that had happened. Will turned to Sonny, "I think we need to try help them, I think they're in trouble".

Sonny looked at his boyfriend, "I think your right Will. For some reason I don't think this is just a game of hide and seek".
