Chapter 6- The Secret Revealed

As Rachel is about to confess some things to Sonny, they all hear a phone go off. Sonny and Will dig in their pockets to pull out their phones, while Rachel an Adrienne dig in their purses looking to see whose phone is the culprit.

"It's your dad," Adrienne says to Sonny, "I should take this." Adrienne nods to the group and walks off to take the call.

Their attention is brought back to Rachel when it suddenly dawns on Sonny what time it is.

"Will don't you have class in an hour?" Sonny asks looking at Will, wiping at his face trying to ensure all the tear stains are gone.

"Sonny, it's ok. I can miss today. I think you need me here." Will smiles at Sonny, giving him his best I am not going anywhere look.

"Will, don't be crazy, I am fine. Besides we both know you will be missing plenty of classes here in the near future and can't afford to miss classes right now." Will says reaching out putting his arm on his shoulder trying to reassure Will he is fine. Besides, he should probably talk with Rachel alone anyways, they need to work some things out first, before he is ready to load all his past on Will.

Will searches Sonny's eyes. He knows he probably should go to class but part of him feels he has a responsibility to be here for Sonny. Sonny does so much for him, it is his turn to do something for Sonny. After more searching and prodding, Will finally caves to his better judgment, he agrees to pack up and go. He heads back to his previous table to grab his stuff.

Adrienne makes it back while Will heads back with his stuff.

"Ok, I am going to go, but text me if you need me, ok," Will says to Sonny. He leans in and they kiss and Will heads out.

"Where is Will going?" Adrienne asks.

"He has class and needed to go, we will catch up later," Sonny replies/

"Well, I hate to take off as well, but that was your dad. He has been helping Maggie with Parker but needs to head for a meeting with a client, so has asked that I head back to help Maggie out," Adrienne explains. She looks at her son and then at Rachel, she then turns back and embraces her son, "Are you sure you are going to be ok," Adrienne whispers in Sonny's ear.

"I will be fine, besides. Rachel and I really need some time to catch up alone," Sonny says, emphasizing the alone part a little more than he meant to.

Adrienne pulls back, and replies, "No worries honey, I can understand that. Just call me if you need anything ok."

"I will mom, thanks." Sonny smiles at her.

Adrienne then turns smiles at Rachel and puts her hand out, "It was a pleasure to finally meet you Rachel, I hope you will be sticking around for a while."

Rachel smiles back and shakes Adrienne's hand, "I'm not sure how long we will be in town but I know it will be at least a week or so."

"Well then we will definitely have to have you over before you leave." Adrienne then takes off.

"We, whose we?" Sonny asks getting Rachel's attention again.

"Oh," Rachel says, trying to thing the best way to answer the question, "Well I am here with my brother, he is helping me out while I came to take care of some things I needed to here."

"What sort of things could you possibly have to take care of here in Salem?" Sonny asks, he can tell she is hiding something, but doesn't feel the need to push too hard for answers.

"Well, the first thing was to come and see you,'' Rachel says truly smiling at her old friend. She really did miss Sonny and felt guilty for not having kept in touch, especially with the recent information she had received.

"Rachel, what is going on? I haven't seen you in over four years, not since the night we…." Sonny stopped, the nodded his head, " well you know….we…"

"Had sex…" Rachel finished the sentence for him, "Yes, Sonny I do remember that. It had been a pretty intense night for both of us."

"Rachel, I am so sorry. I never got the chance to truly apologize for taking advantage of you the way I did." Rachel could feel the sorrow in Sonny's voice. Which caused Rachel to feel her guilt level rise. How could she allow Sonny go all these years blaming himself for taking advantage of her.

"Sonny, let me make this clear to you," Rachel was staring deep into Sonny's eyes. She also made sure to reach her hands over the table and placed them securely on top of his. Hoping this would help ensure he understood what she was going to say next, "You did not take advantage of me, if anything I should be apologizing to you. I shouldn't have run off so quickly. I should've given us time to process what had happened together. I should've "

Sonny could feel the emotion in Rachel's voice and sensed her distress as she was talking to him. He could tell something else was going on. It had been awhile since they had been together, but Sonny has always been an intuitive guy and new something else was going on. His thoughts went to Will and when he had been keeping the baby secret from him, he knew something was bothering Will, but didn't push it because he didn't want to push him to far….so many things were flying through his head when his phone rings…..

Sonny looks down at his phone and see's that it is Sami, he then looks back at Rachel,

"I am sorry Rachel, but I really need to take this," Sonny says, frowning at Rachel, knowing that this is a really bad time to be leaving her.

Rachel sighs then says, "It's ok Sonny, I understand…."

Sonny answers, "Hey Sami, I am kind of in the middle of something…."

Sami cuts him off, "Sonny I need your help now…."

"Sami, what is going on? Why are you whispering?"

"I am in the Kirikias mansion. I need your help to find Gabi and Nick's room, I didn't realize there were so many rooms in here."

Sonny's mind starts racing. He has to get to Sami to help her with mission Help Will, then he looks back and see's Rachel watching him, he can't help but feel guilty just taking off on her, especially after it has been so long since they have seen each other, and he can tell she needs to tell him something. That is when Rachel gives him a knowing look. She's picked up that he has to leave.

"Sonny, if you have to go, then go, we can continue this later," She smiles at him.

"Give me 5 minutes, I am on my way….." Sonny says as he hangs up, He leans over kisses Rachel on the cheek, thanks her and goes bolting out the door.

She looks off after him, "I just wanted to tell you that you are a father…"
