Author's Note: So I finally got some free time to update! I'm so sorry for not updating in such a long time! I've been so busy. I know that's not really a good excuse but I just haven't had time to sit down and write. Again i'm really sorry for the wait. :( Short update for now. I'll try to update more frequently from now on! Enjoy! Let me know what you think and what you want me to add in the story.

Will's POV:

I walked aimlessly around the park lost in my thoughts for what seemed like hours.

I sat on the couch with my head in my hands wondering where Sonny had been for the past 24 hours. Ari had finally gone to sleep after being up with her for 3 hours. Her cries for her papa made my heart break so much that I did this to her. I woke to the sound of her screaming from the baby monitor to find Sonny's side of the bed empty, cold, and still completely made from the previous night. My head hurt and I could no longer lie down in our bed knowing Sonny was not coming home again that night. When I woke up the next morning with a bad crank in my next from falling asleep awkwardly, I checked in on Ari and found her awake staring at the little shapes that Nick gave us the first night we were having trouble getting her to sleep. I picked her up in my arms.

"Hey princess, want some breakfast huh?" She wined a little in my arms. I calmed her down a little until she began to get fussy again. When she called for her papa again, tears formed in my eyes. I grabbed her diaper bag and got my keys and wallet and left the apartment in search of Sonny. When I went to TBD, Ben told me that Sonny hadn't come back after leaving with someone yesterday. When he described the person to me, my heart dropped into my stomach.

"Thank you." I said with a shaky breath and quickly left the club. I went to my grandmother's office to only find that she had left town earlier but would be back later that night. Feeling truly alone I called the babysitter to see if she would like to watch Ari for a little bit, seeing that Ari can't seem to find the comfort of her dad's arms right now. I arrive at the babysitter's home and she quickly offers to calm her down for me, which I have no reason to refuse. I hand her over to her and soon Ari is calm in the babysitter's arms. My heart which was already broken before has completely shattered.

"You can drop Ari off at around 9 pm. Here's $40 for dinner if you want to go out and eat." My voice breaks a little.

"Mr. Horton, I'm so sorry. I'm sure Ari is just being a typical toddler being all picky and stuff. But she loves you." I smile and nod a little and walk to my car. When I sit down in the driver's seat, I feel the weight of the past two days catching up to me and breakdown crying at the wheel..

A throat being cleared behind me brings me out of my thoughts. When I turn I find Adrienne looking very stern while clutching her purse.

"Hello Will."

Sonny's POV:

I've been sitting at my desk for about 2 hours now, completely satisfied with how much work I have gotten done. When I exit my office I find the place somewhat busier than it has been in the past couple of months since Uncle Vic's club opening. I begin to help T behind the bar. When we finally get a break from the crowd, T asks me about Will, "so how is he?"

"He who?" I question him at first.

"You know who. How's Will?"

"Oh Will. He's uh-" I stop for a minute trying to think of something to say without telling T the truth. Does Will even want T to know?

"Sonny?"

"Yeah?"

"How's Will?" He asks again a little bit more firmly.

"He's uh good. Yeah Will is good."

"Good? That's all? He's just good?"

"Yeah. I'm going to go back to my office and finish up some more paper work. Let me know if it gets busy again and you need help."

"Wha-" He begins before I quickly walk back to the office locking the door behind me so T can't barge in and confront me. I take a deep breath and sit at my desk wondering where Will is right now.

Will's POV:

"Oh uh hi Mrs. Kiriakis." I say nervously.

"I need to speak to you about something."

"Uh wh-what do you need?" I swallow feeling my anxiety build up. She takes a step towards me as I take a step back from her. She slowly sits on the bench and watches me carefully.

"So it's true." Dread hits me. She knows and the feeling of humiliation hits me again.

"What's true?" I say as I try to cover it up.

"Will, its fine. I'm not going to hurt you."

"Hurt me? I don't- I don't understand."

"Sonny told me what happened."

"I-"

"That's actually why I'm here to talk to you. I know he recently began to talk to you again."

"I-" Say something. I think to myself. Stop being a coward. You were supposed to start getting better for your daughter and so you can be a better person to win Sonny back. I continue to stare at her.

"Will, I know what happened to you was awful and I don't wish it upon anybody what you're going through, but-"

"Mrs. Kiriakis I-"

"Will stop. I know you were raped." I pale. "And I know that you're going through a hard time right now, but please if you love Sonny you won't get him involved in this. I don't want him to add any more stress to his life. You have so many people who can help you but please not my son." She gets up from the bench. "I'm sorry Will." She walks past me and leaves me there. I want to defend myself. I do, but I have no strength left.

Sonny's POV:

When I hear a knock at my door I am almost tempted to ignore it and pretend that I didn't hear it, but when the knock becomes louder and more insistent I get up and unlock the door. When I open it I find my mother standing there.

"Mom!"

"Hi sweetie. How's your day so far?"

"Good wha-" I am interrupted by the sound of my phone beeping on my desk. I hold up my finger to her. "Give me sec." I look to find a notification from Will

W: Can we talk please?

S: Sure. Where?

W: Park. I'll see you in a little bit.

"Sweetie?" I'm pulled out of my conversation with Will. "What is it?"

"It's Will he wants to talk."

"Actually sweetie, that's why I came by."

"Oh did you talk to him?!" I say as I grab my stuff.

"Yeah I did."

"Sorry mom. I gotta run but I when I get back I would like to hear about your conversation with Will."

"Sonny. Please lis-"

"I love you." I say cutting her off, too excited to see Will. I run out of club towards the park.

Will's POV:

I breathe shakily after sending the text message to Sonny. What do I do? I think. I feel weak and vulnerable again as I imagine Sonny being out of my life again.

"Will?" I look up to find Sonny walking towards me and my heart flutters at his smiling face. Do I break his heart again? Does he really need to be burdened with my stupid baggage and someone who was tainted? I don't deserve his love. I don't deserve anyone's. "Hey." He says as he hugs me. He notices I haven't moved one bit or said anything. He pulls back and looks in my eyes. "Will, is everything okay?"

I've made my decision. "Sonny I-"
