Chapter 21
Sonny spent the next three weeks in the hospital recuperating but he is still paralyzed. "Doctor, can you tell me how long you think the paralysis will last?"
"There's no set time Will. Sonny was shot in the back and because of the blood loss and where the bullet penetrated his spine, the damage was extensive. In my medical opinion, it's all up to Sonny now. I believe that he will get better and walk again but only if he wants too."
"Of course he will want to get better. We have an eight-month-old daughter to raise. I can't have him giving up on our lives now."
"I understand Mr. Horton-Kiriakis but as much as you want him to get better, your husband has to fight to get better."
"I know doc. Do you think it would be okay if I brought our daughter by to see her pop?"
"Actually, seeing as many loved ones as possible would probably help him in his recovery. By the way, I'll more than likely be sending your husband home in the next couple of days."
"But what about his recovery? Won't he need to stay here if he's going to walk again?" Will asked with concern in his voice.
"There is nothing more we can do for him here Mr. Horton-Kiriakis. I'll give you some names of some excellent physical therapists that will make house calls. If you need anything or have any questions," the doctor handed Will his business card, "don't hesitate to call me. I will help you both if I can."
"Thank you doctor." Will watched the doctor leave Sonny's room and then he went back to sick down next to his sleeping husband.
"Hey there handsome." Will looked up when he heard Sonny's husky voice. "Are you okay darlin'?"
"You shouldn't be worried about me Sonny. I want your mind on getting better." Will leaned down and kissed his husband. "Baby, I'm going to go to the house for a little while to get it ready for when the doctor releases you."
"Will, how can I help you make ends meet if I can't walk?" Will leaned down and kissed him again. "I won't even be able to help you take care of Marley. I'm useless now."
"No you are not. You are the man I fell in love with. You are the man who helped me discover who I am. You are the man who fought one of my friends when he put me down. You are the most amazing man I know. You decided to give me another chance after you learned about Marley. I love you and I never want to hear you say that you are useless again. As long as you continue to love me, you will always be useful to me." Will kissed him again.
"But Will, I can't even make love to you anymore. I'm not even half a man because I can't make love to you anymore. So I am useless. Nick should be happy because he got what he wanted. He destroyed my life." When Sonny turned away from Will, it hurt but Will knew that Sonny was hurting more than he had when he was shot because at least Will hadn't been paralyzed.
"Jackson Steven Horton-Kiriakis, you more than enough man for me. I loved you the day we got together, the day we decided to get married and the day we said our vows to each other. I don't care if you are in a wheelchair. You are my husband and I love you. I promised that I would stand by your side through the good times and bad times. We have had some good times and now we are going through some bad times. Then when all this is over and done, we'll have some more good times. Please don't give up on yourself because I won't give up on you."
"I have an idea."
"What idea is that?"
"Let's get me out of here so we can go home and I can let you take advantage of me."
"I am looking forward to undressing you and ravishing your hot, sexy body." Will kissed him passionately. "I want to take you in my mouth and pleasure you until you come in my mouth."
"That sounds so wonderful Will but I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because of the paralysis."
"Maybe if I suck you hard enough, you'll get the feeling back." They laughed at the idea.
"That would be wonderful if you could suck me well." Sonny grabbed Will and pulled him down for a kiss. "Thank you for cheering me up my beautiful blonde husband."
"That's my job. When you are sad, I make you happy. When you are upset, I will cheer you up. No matter what, I will stand by your side and support you for the rest of our lives because I love you. You are the man I love. You and Marley are my family and I will support you while you get better."
"I love you Will." They kissed again. "I will get better just for you and our daughter because I want to be the best husband and father I can be." They kissed again.
"Mr. Horton-Kiriakis, I'm here to help your husband get ready to be discharged." Will looked up at the pretty blonde nurse.
"Should I be jealous Sonny?" Will asked.
"I don't think so. Remember, I'm the one who's never been with a woman before. Maybe I should be jealous of the pretty nurse."
"Mr. Horton-Kiriakis, neither of you has anything to worry about." She pulled her badge off her shirt and flipped it over to reveal a gorgeous brunette holding an adorable blonde boy. "This is my wife, Alexis and our one year old son, Caleb. So you are both safe from me." She smiled when they both wore shocked looks on their faces. "I'm not the typical lesbian, am I?"
"I guess there are no rules when it comes to love." Will looked down at Sonny with love in his eyes. "You just can't help who fall in love with. Well, babe, I'm going to go home so I can get the house ready for you to come home." Will leaned down and kissed him. "When should I be back to get him?"
"It will probably take about two hours total to make sure everything is okay and get his release papers in order."
"Okay. I will see you in an hour and a half. On my way back, I'll swing back by the mansion to pick up Marley. I imagine Uncle Vic and Aunt Maggie are in dire need of some relief."
"Okay handsome." Sonny grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him down to him. "I love you William Horton-Kiriakis. You and Marley are the best part of my life. I love you both so much."
"That's good because you're stuck with us mister." Will kissed him back and then left the room.
Will was walking out of the hospital when he heard an all too familiar voice calling out his name.
"What do you want?" he asked, tired and not wanting to talk to anyone, especially this person.
"You think I'm going to let you get away with this. Well I'm not. I won't lose him to the likes of you. You may have my husband snowed but I'm much smarter than that. I'm not falling for your bull. You have done nothing but hurt my son since the moment you met him. I should have never given you the benefit of the doubt back before it came out about Marley being your daughter."
"Are you done Mrs. Kiriakis?" he decided not to address her in any other way because he didn't think she deserved the personal touch after what she had done to Sonny and him.
"No, I'm not done. I'm going to let you know what I have already set in motion so there'll be no surprises. I have contacted a lawyer in California who specializes in cases like Sonny's." When Will started to speak again, she held up her hand. "I'm not through. This lawyer is going to help me have the judge's ruling overturned. I'm going to have Sonny declared mentally incompetent to make his own decisions. The adoption will be null and void as well as your marriage. I don't care that you've already slept together. You have hurt my family for the last time young man and I will not stand by and watch the consequences of what you've done to my son."
"You're the one that is crazy. Do you think that Justin and Victor are going to allow you to declare Sonny incompetent? He's their flesh and blood. He is a Kiriakis and there's no way his dad and uncle are going to let you hurt him this way."
"My husband may not like it but one day he'll realize that I did what I did to help our son escape the clutches of your family." Without saying anything else, Adrienne walked away, leaving Will standing in the parking lot in tears.
