No one's POV:
She had just collapsed in his arms. Johnny moved quickly to his sister's side; helping Sonny lower her to the ground. Olivia and Dante were kneeling down, as well, in a matter of seconds. Sonny removed his wife's leather jacket, in hopes that it would help the situation. The four pairs of eyes got bigger as Olivia put her hand over her mouth.
"One of you go get Robin!" Sonny commanded. Dante jumped to his feet to go get the doctor.
"Who the hell stabbed her?" Johnny asked, concern rising in his voice.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Sonny said as he heard footsteps coming towards them. It was Robin.
"I need you three to move out of the way, now!" Sonny, Johnny, and Olivia got out of her way.
Robin put on her gloves and pulled Claudia's shirt up above her abdomen. Sonny turned away from the scene, as his wife's body flinched every time Robin went near the wound.
"Sonny, I need you to pick her up and get her on this gurney now, I may have to take her to surgery." Robin tried to mumble the last part as Sonny lifted Claudia's body onto the gurney. Johnny and Olivia stayed behind with Lukas while Sonny followed Robin. "You stay out here until I come back out." Robin commanded as she stepped into the room.
Sonny waited outside of the room restlessly, he just wanted Claudia to be okay and Lukas to be okay. He needed his family to be okay. He didn't get deeply into his thoughts as Robin walked back out of the room, a solemn look on her face.
"She doesn't need surgery, amazingly. But she's lost a lot of blood and she's gone into shock."
"What does that mean, Robin. Am I going to lose my wife?"
"There's no definite answer Sonny. She has an infection from whatever caused the wound and the blood loss takes time to replenish. She has fight in her, that's one thing I know about your wife. You can go in and sit with her, now. I'll update you on her status whenever I can."
Robin left as Sonny walked into Claudia's room. He cringed at how broken his wife looked. She was so pale and there was no expression on her face. He had never seen her like this and really didn't enjoy it at all. He took a seat next to her bedside and grabbed onto her limp hand.
"Who did this to you? I will find out Claudia and I'll kill the son of a bitch so quick he won't be able to beg for mercy."
Johnny and Olivia stood outside of Lukas' room, neither dared to talk, knowing this was life or death for the little boy. When Dr. White rounded the corned though, both of the adults knew either something had gone miraculously right or horribly wrong.
"That kid is amazing." She told them with a big smile on her face.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Johnny asked suspicious of why the doctor was so chipper.
"His red cells are growing back amazingly quick and the cancer is dying completely. Your nephew is better." Johnny was baffled, after all of this Lukas was going to be okay.
"When can we see him?"
"Soon, once the tests say the cancer is completely gone, he will be moved back to a regular room and then you may see him."
"Thank you, doctor." Johnny told her as she walked off. Johnny embraced his wife. "My nephew is going to be okay, Olivia. My nephew fought like Claudia said he would! I have to go tell Sonny, you stay with him." He said giddily. He ran down the corridors to get to the room his sister was moved to.
********
The mood changed instantly as Johnny walked into the room. He could tell his brother-in-law had been crying and as he looked at his sister's face he understood.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Whatever caused her wound, was rusty or something, I don't even know. She's gone into shock and has an infection. Robin doesn't know what's happening."
"Well, I need to tell you that your son is going to be okay. His red cells are coming back. Sonny the cancer is gone."
Sonny looked up in amazement.
"It's impossible. He was so sick, for so long-"
"It's possible Sonny as soon as the tests show that the cancer is gone, Lukas is going to be moved to a regular room. He's going to be okay."
Johnny smiled when he saw the famous Sonny Corinthos grin come out. Even though he did not like Sonny, he cared about his sister and nephew and that was enough for him.
"I'm going to go back. I'll come get you when he's moved to a regular room."
"Thanks Johnny." Sonny told him as he walked out of the room. Sonny squeezed Claudia's hand a little bit tighter.
"You told me he was going to be okay and you were right. Claudia, he needs his mom to fight too…"
"We're so sorry. He was so young and didn't deserve this."
"It seems hard but it'll get easier."
"I promise we'll be there whenever you need us."
The voices clouded her head and she didn't know how to get them to stop. She knew they were talking about Lukas, but he couldn't die. He was all she had left. Id he left her, she wouldn't be a mom; she would just be the same old person who had no real place on this earth and was meant to just wonder. It was a nightmare. She had to wake up. Why couldn't she? Fight harder, she told herself.
Sonny jumped as his wife shot straight up in her hospital bed, grimacing as she did so.
"Sonny why does it hurt so bad?" She asked, hoping no one had told him about the big cut in her side.
"You were stabbed in the side. Just lay back down, I have important news to tell you."
"Lukas?"
"He's going to be okay. The cancer's gone." She felt the tears come to her eyes, she knew there was no way to stop it. She didn't have a choice but to let them fall.
"Our little boy is going to be okay. He's going to be okay." She sobbed as Sonny held her.
Homecoming for the Corinthos Family(Two weeks later):
Both Sonny and Claudia couldn't believe that they were bringing their son home today from his long battle with cancer. Lukas was sitting next to Claudia in the back seat of the limo. When Lukas saw his house he screamed bloody murder.
"Momma it's my house!"
"Yes, baby it is. Do you wanna go inside." He nodded his head as the limo stopped. Claudia unbuckled him from his car seat and opened the door. He ran to the front door and ran in the house when Max opened it.
"Mrs. C, Boss." Max addressed.
"Hey Max." Claudia smiled, pulling Sonny into the house with her. When they got into the living room they didn't know who was waiting for them.
"Surprise!" Kristina, Michael, Morgan, Molly, Carly, Sam, Jax, and Jason screamed. All of them except for Jax and Jason went and hugged Lukas, Claudia, and Sonny. Then the party started.
Two Years Later:
"I brought you a visitor." Sonny said in a whisper as he opened Claudia's hospital room door. She smiled when she saw her six year old, Lukas, enter the room. He jumped on her bed softly and gave her a hug.
"Hi, baby. I've missed you."
"I missed you too, momma. Where is she?" He asked just as the little girl in the bassinet beside Claudia's bed started to cry softly. Claudia picked her and Sonny's daughter up and showed Lukas his baby sister for the first time.
"She's so little." He stared in awe at her.
"Yes, she is, but that just means that even when she's bigger, you're going to still have to protect her. Do you think you can do that?"
"I know I can." Lukas smiled. "Can I hold her?"
"Of course you can, Sonny come help him." Sonny came over to his family and showed Lukas how to hold the new baby. Soon, Lukas had his baby sister in his arms.
"When are you going to come home, mommy?" Claudia moved some of his thick, black hair out of his face.
"Soon, honey. I promise."
*********
An hour later Lukas and his baby sister were fast asleep. Lukas in the chair and Anna in the bassinet. Sonny was trying to get his wife to get her much needed, and earned sleep.
"Sonny…?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm really glad I came back, like extremely glad."
"I'm glad you are too. Without you. I don't even want to know what I'd do. I love you."
"I love you too."
