Chapter 37
Sonny reached down to Will's chin and tilted his head up , Will staring into Sonny's eyes leaned forward and kissed Sonny, his lips warm and seemed to instantly calm Will, he kissed Sonny with a new intensity and Sonny wrapped his arms round Wills neck drawing him closer, the need for contact urging them both on.
After several minutes of heavy groping and kissing, a flushed Will pulled back and said "I need to… Sonny I can't wait any longer, I … will you…"
Will stuttered and before he could finish Sonny beat him to it
"Marry me Will!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The words rang through Will's mind "Marry me Will!" he sniffs away wipes the tears away
"But… but I was going to ask… Sonnnny you asked before." Will slightly whined
Sonny chuckled slightly and coughed which caused Will to slightly panic "Hey, hey no it's ok, smoke inhalation caused my lungs a little damage, its ok. I know I ambushed your proposal, but darling you were stuttering and a mess and well I like being the one to propose to you again, if you want you can ask me as well"
Will pouts "But it's not the same, when we tell this story it will always be that you asked me" Sonny smiled placed his hands on Wills cheeks and kissed him; they hummed and sighed as they continued to kiss.
"How about this, when people ask for the story we will tell them how you asked me, you were overwhelmed by the emotions of seeing me again alive and stuttering and all you asked me"
Will smiled and said "Jackson Stephen Kiriakis Horton will you marry me"
"Yes and a thousand times yes"
"I dreamt about you?" Will said as he curled into Sonny a little more
"Good dream I hope" Sonny asked
"I woke up in bed with you and I was wearing my silver wedding band and I promised no one was ever going to make me take it off not even you… You are my Mr HK"
"Has a ring to it, and is much better than the dreams I was having" Sonny replied
"Oh? What dreams Sonny?"
"Whilst you were kidnapped I kept dreaming I was at your funeral, Ari in this embroidered dress so proud of her black bow, trying to process that I may have to live without you again, Will, don't leave me." Sonny said as he tightened his grip around Will which caused Will to wince
"Sorry, how are your injuries, I mean, your back looked like a wild animal went to town on it and your shoulder?"
"Currently every time I move I get a reminder they are still there and what I went through, but I mean he can't hurt us anymore, I didn't want him dead but …"
"Sorry Will but I can't defend him, yes it's sad he is gone, but the moment I heard your screams down that phone I wanted to rip him apart, we did not deserve it, any of it. I do feel bad for John though, he must be in a lot of pain right now."
"I am sure he is, but right now we need to concentrate on getting well and released and having a wedding, there is so much to plan, where to have the wedding and who to invite and well Ari will be our flower girl no doubt." Will smiled and reeled items of things off.
Will looked up to Sonny who was drifting back to sleep. Will reached up to his ear and whispered "I love you Mr HK, sleep my darling." He brushed his lips gently across Sonny's and placed his head back onto Sonny's chest and both drifted off to sleep both dreaming of their wedding.

Will bounded from the bed, he was packed and finally allowed to leave the hospital, his injuries had healed except he gained an infection in the wounds on his back and so they kept him in longer, Sonny was in the next room also glad that he was finally being released as well, except in a wheelchair, the injuries to his leg had been a little more complicated and with a large amount of numbness to his leg it was causing his rehabilitation to be slow and unsure if he would gain permanent strength in it to walk.
Both Will and Sonny were disappointed but just more thankful they were alive. In the months that had passed a small funeral had been held for Paul, John and Marlena, Brady and a few others attended, John surprised at the numbers who did come because he knew of the treatment of Will and Sonny was unforgivable but Paul was his son and he had to say goodbye.
Sami on the other hand refused to attend and told her mother and John just how she felt about him and that she would prefer to spend time with her son who survived his ordeal and look after her children. Lucas chose to stand by her side and didn't acknowledge the funeral either, he was excited to write another father of the groom speech and try and top Justin's from the first one, both laughing to one another over drinks when they talked about it.
Adrienne and Sami as per usual were at each other's throats, trying to gain the upper hand or who did what best and what they could give more to outdo the other, much to the boys pleas of peace.
Will grabbed his bag of clothes and left his room to come into Sonny's
"Hello my darling, ready to go home?"
"Home, yes I am, but stairs are going to be a snag"
"Not a problem, where we are going there are no stairs"
"Excuse me?" Sonny asked
"Oh didn't I tell you, oops, sorry I was too excited, so I may have got some help and a place became available in town on the ground floor and its 3 bedrooms , a garden , an extra study and well mom and that helped put a deposit down for us"
"But you already have a place?" Sonny questioned
"A place where it was invaded several times and listening devices planted in our daughters room, and I was chloroformed in the kitchen and kidnapped – yes such bright and fond memories"
"Sorry" Sonny whispered as he realised how stupid a question it was.
Will came to the side of the bed and held Sonny's hand and the other to his cheek "No, don't be this is a new chapter for us, a new place for us and Ari"
"Why 3 bedrooms?"
Will stood and began to pack Sonny's things up "Oh well you know, a guest room, or maybe I dunno a nursery someday…" Will said side eyeing Sonny for his response.
Sonny felt so warm and his heartbeat quickened "a nursery? You want more kids?"
"I could see us with more, yeah, I mean there is surrogacy, adoption, you know a bit more planned this time."
"Yes!" was all Sonny said, Will turned to look at him and the giant smile on his face, Sonny opened his arms and Will fitted straight in "I love you William Horton-Kiriakis"
"I love you to Mr HK, come on let's get you dressed and out of this place.
"Freedoom!" chucked Sonny and Will laughed and kissed him before helping him out.

*1 month later*
Sonny wheeled himself around their new apartment in ease; the last month had been a learning curve for them all, he was having regularly physiotherapy and rehabilitation, he had a goal and that was a secret to Will, the wedding was another month or two away, they had realised that they didn't want to wait if Sonny could walk again just in case it wouldn't happen so they planned for April … the exact same day their first wedding took place, they had thought about other dates but this was such an important date in the past that they wanted to make it even more special.
Sonny made sure that no one was around the house and he parked his wheelchair close to the sofa making sure the breaks were on so the chair wouldn't move, lifted up the footrests on his chair and placed his two feet on the floor, he took several breaths and pushed himself up placing all his weight on his good leg, standing was not the problem, was taking that step forward with the injured leg, he lifted the leg slightly and moved it forward mere inches and lowered it slowly to the ground, his weight still on his back leg, here came the moment of truth, he lent on it and began to lift his other, the sensation to him was weird having near to no feeling and relying on it to hold his weight was a leap of faith, his leg came off the ground fully and strode forward, Sonny smiled thinking he had achieved it but mid move his injured leg buckled and he fell and landed safely on the sofa.
He lay like a heap on the sofa for a moment, punching the sofa and screaming into a pillow in frustration, just as he heard keys in the lock, he flipped himself over and turned the TV on to pretend he was chilling on the sofa. Will came in with Ari behind "Daddy" Ari chimed as she ran to the sofa to tell him about her day in school.
She curled up around him and showed her drawings and held onto her daddy. Will came over and kissed the tops of both their heads and began to make dinner, this was their routine, and even if Will and Ari had no idea what Sonny was doing.
In the evenings when Ari was asleep Sonny would talk to Will about hydrotherapy and acupuncture and a range of other therapies that his physiotherapist suggested and their wedding plans and Will would talk of his latest stories at the paper and occasionally would have family meals with his siblings. Sami and Lucas had settled right back into Salem life together with the children and they had their own surprises they wanted to share and were trying to find a right time to tell people. Tonight it was Will and Sonny's turn to hear it.
The doorbell rang and Will jumped and said "I bet you they are engaged and that's what they want to tell us"
"Really?" Sonny said as Will was close to the door
"I bet you, two massages" Will teased
"Two massages and that thing you do with…" Sonny stopped as Will went bright red as he had already opened the door to his parents
"Hey Mom, dad, come on in"
"Thanks, hey Sonny how you doin'?"
"Good thanks Lucas, how are you guys, do you want a drink?"
Sami and Lucas look at one another and smile "Some water will be good thanks"
Sonny shuffles into his chair and wheels to the kitchen to grab the waters, Will comes up behind him and grabs them, and he kisses Sonny on the cheek and brings them round to his parents as they take a seat.
"So what is the surprise?"
Sami takes a gulp of water and places it on the table, Lucas looks at her and smiles, She smiles back and begins "Well, we didn't want to overshadow you with your wedding plans and such and I mean we weren't sure ourselves and I mean we needed to be sure…"
"You're engaged as well, aren't you?" Will cut her off
They both look at one another and nods but Lucas says "that's not the only thing"
Sonny sits there smiling and looks to Will "See I told you it was more" Will turns to Sonny and pokes his tongue out, he looks back to his parents who are now holding a picture which they hand to Will. Will takes the picture and looks at it "this is a sonogram, whose is it?" Will asks
Sonny for a moment is amazed that Will hasn't clicked and so answers him "It's theirs Will, congratulations on your engagement and errr boy or girl?"
"Boy"
"God help us" Will responds he looks up around and says "Well its true, look at the trouble I caused ya"
"Means we are well prepared" Sami replied
Will at both and smiled and hugged his parents "Sorry, congratulations, does grandma know?"
"Yeah John and Marlena know, we are on way to tell Kate" Lucas said
"Now that's a scene I can't wait to watch" Will teased which made him receive a light punch on the arm from his father
"Hey" Will said rubbing his arm
Sami and Lucas said their goodbyes and that they would catch up later, Sonny and Will sat on the sofa and chuckled about their announcements "I think this means I win" Sonny laughed
"Fine, 2 massages and that thing, I do…" Will said as he lent forward and kissed Sonny, Sonny turned and allowed himself to lie back on the sofa and Will slide along ontop of him"
"Hmmmmmmmm" Sonny hummed and pulled at Will's clothes "You know this is usually best done in our room" and kissed Will a few more times before he sat back and nodded.
Sonny wheeled into the bedroom and Will made sure the flat was secure before entering the bedroom to find one very naked fiancé waiting him…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
*2 months later*
Will paced up and down the room, this was it, the time has come, and Victor had reluctantly accepted that this was it, Sonny and Will were very much not going to be parted again and so he allowed for the wedding to again be held in the Kiriakis Mansion.
Will didn't understand why he was so nervous; it wasn't that Sonny wasn't going to turn up, they loved each other, and he didn't remember being this nervous the first time round. He pulled his mobile out and checked the time and texted his mom, within a few minutes she was knocking and coming in
"Will, baby what wrong"
"Mom, I'm freaking out, I don't know why, is everyone here? Where is Ari? "
"Ok, Ok, sit down Will or you will wear a hole in the floor if you keep on pacing much more."
Will took a seat and dragged his hands through his hair and tapped his footed continuously, Sami sat to the side of him and placed her hand on his bouncing knee "Ari is with Gabi, all prepared, her dress is gorgeous, everyone is here and I know for a fact that Sonny is here, I saw Adrienne go into his room as well"
Across the way Sonny was sitting in the chair staring at the wheelchair to the side of him.
"Mom, is everything set?" Sonny asked
"Jackson baby, all set, you know you don't have to worry, Will loves you, are you ready?"
Sonny smiled and nodded "So let's get started."
The music began to play in the living room and it echoed through the house, Will and Sami heard it and Sami tapped Will and said "It's time, come on sweetie."
Will stood brushed himself down and smiled "Time to get hitched" they exited the room and around to the living room doors where Gabi and Ari stood, Ari hugged her dad and smiled "Like my dress?" Will bent down and hugged her tightly "You are beautiful my little one, absolutely beautiful."
Gabi pulls the doors open and Ari and her walk out Ari taking handfuls of petals and throwing them to the gown, awws and giggles come from the congregation at Ari and she smiles widely at everyone so proud at her job, Sami hooks her one arm through Wills and with her other arm rubs her stomach slightly. Will and Sonny flipped a coin, well Will thought they flipped a coin but Sonny made sure that Will was the one to walk the aisle first, Sami and Will slow step down the aisle and reach Marlena at the end of the aisle, who after some arm twisting agreed to marry them on the proviso this was the last time they were to get married
Sami and Will hugged and she kisses his cheek as she takes her seat next to Lucas who in turn gives her a kiss on her cheek and his hand overlaps hers on her stomach feeling their son kick excitedly.
Adrienne and Sonny move up to the doorway and Adrienne looks to Sony sitting in the chair "Are you sure?" Adrienne says one more time and Sonny smiles and nods, they move forward and Sonny wheels his chair to the straight aisle and Will watches with his grandmother looking on, he puts the breaks on and pulls the footrests up and everyone watches as Adrienne holds a hand out and Sonny take hold and with the other pushes himself up from the chair.
Adrienne manoeuvres herself a little closer to Sonny and he loops his arm through and uses his other to hold on, Adrienne kisses his cheek and whispers "one foot at a time, there is no rush, it is your wedding."
"Love you mom" is all that Sonny says, he looks straight ahead at Will, who is in awe of his husband to be standing there, was he really about to walk and just like that Will's jaw drops as he watches Sonny slowly take his first steps since the fire down the aisle and tears well and begin to fall down everyone including Sonny.
He reaches slightly tiredly to Will, who disregards everything and envelops him in a hug "Oh my god Sonny, you, you are just amazing, how long have you been able to?"
"I've been practising since I got out, I wanted to so much walk down my aisle, I love you so much Will" Both lose themselves in the moment forgetting that they are actually at their wedding until Marlena clears her throat and suggest that they begin.
They nod and apologise to everyone and Adrienne hands Sonny a walking stick to lean on whisper a chair was close by if he really needed it
"Welcome everyone, we are gathered here today to celebrate these two wonderful men as they reaffirm their love and devotion to on another. Will and Sonny tell me that they have again chosen to write their own vows, so before they do, if there is anyone here who knows any reason these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace?"
Will and Sonny held hands and both quickly glanced the room and thankfully no one said anything, they turned back to Marlena and smiled, Marlena raised a hand to Sonny and signalled for him to begin. He had tried so much to keep standing and he whispered to Will "errr Will I need to sit I can't" he wobbled slightly and Will caught him in time.
Adrienne brought the chair quickly and he sat himself and looked to Will and began "Sorry…"
Will placed a finger over his mouth and said "no apologies, the next words out your mouth are your vows only, ok?" Sonny smiled and nodded.
Will pulled a small stool as well and took a seat in front of Sonny so he didn't have to look up to Sonny and then when ready Sonny began
"Will, where to begin, We have had such a journey, right from when I first came to Salem and you shook my hand, I knew that was I was enthralled by you and it just increased as time went by. Our lives back then led us to standing where we are today exactly 5 years ago professing our love and bond together and since then our lives have been nothing but extraordinary and not always in the good way. We hit roadblocks and troubles that any couple may face and then my worst nightmare came true, I was not able to see your face every day, to feel your arms around me, your lips, your heart beat next to mine as one… A part of me died that day along with you."
Both Sonny and Will wiped away tears, Sonny looked around and saw that he wasn't the only one who was crying, he looked back at Will who griped his hands again and continued
"Then under three years ago a miracle on an epic scale occurred, the words uttered that plagued my dreams - Will is alive and the new quest to find you and bring you home began, Will in the darkest of times you were my light, you have always been my anchor, you ground me and you complete me… If the couple of years have taught me is that there is no one in this world I want or need in my life … well apart from Ari. Will, I give you my heart and soul; I give my life to be with you, now and forever."
Will sat there speechless and stared at Sonny "wow, errr how can I follow that" a few in the congregation laughed and sniffled whilst wiping their tears away with tissues
"My Sonny, my love, I… You have no idea how much you have changed my life and I thank you and I want to show you every day what you mean to me. Our vows the first time round ring true today and I want to continue to show you just how much I love you and that I am continually blessed to be loved by you. Here is to our next journey together, preferably less traumatic, but it has shown as you say, I give my life to be with you, now and forever."
They both wipe tears and look to Marlena who is also wiping some tears away. "Right, well, errr, without further ado, we will exchange the rings"
The rest of the wedding was a blur for Will and Sonny as they recited after Marlena and placed their original rings back on the others fingers and lastly Marlena said "I can now officially pronounce William Robert Horton and Jackson Stephen Kiriakis as husbands for life, you may now kiss your husband"
Loud cheers came from the congregation as Will eagerly came forward and took hold of Sonny's face and kissed her ferociously, Sonny was glad he was sitting in his chair otherwise Will would have bowled him over, he revelled in the kiss and eventually pulled back for air and whispered "Save some for our wedding night" teasingly Will poked his tongue out Sonny and said "I have plenty of stamina for out night" Sonny choked slightly at Will's innuendo
And Will rose and stood next to Sonny in the chair as they held hands before Will placed his hand on the chair as Sonny wheeled up the aisle with Will walking by his side. The reception and the cake cutting drifted by again and eventually they made their way home, Ari was staying with Gabi and their wedding night was in the comfort of their own bed and flat. They reached the front door and Will opened the door and walked in, Sonny sat there in the chair by the door until Will turned round and said "Are you not coming in?"
"I will, but I want to carry you across the threshold"
"Seriously?" Will asked
Sonny wiggled his eyebrows and Will laughed, he walked back to sonny and sprawled himself into Sonny's lap and his legs in the air
"Come on then, wheel me through" Will said teasingly and Sonny did just that and managed to close the door behind him, he took hold of Will and kissed him softly "I adore you"
"I adore you to Mr HK, let me lock up and we can enjoy our night."
Will locked up and came to the room to see Sonny standing and unbutton his jacket. Will closed their door and came behind him to slip his jacket off and took his jacket and laid them on the side, he came round to the front and peppered kisses along Sonny jaw and lips as he undid the bow tie and shirt and open the shirt wide and using his hands to push it off Sonny's shoulders and let it drop to the floor, Sonny re-enacted their first time by slowly unbuttoning Wills shirt and dragging his hands up his abdomen and chest along his shoulder blades and further, accidently brushing over the knife wound from their ordeal, Will froze slightly and Sonny pulled Will closer and kissed the scar and turned Will round to pull his shirt off and kissed each scar on his back
Will turned round and his head hung slightly, Sonny lifted and said "don't ever be ashamed, you are beautiful to me, always"
Will looked at Sonny and said "Always" he kissed him and allowed his hands to drag down Sonny's chest hair and down to his belt and slowly undid it and pulled it free before making light work of Sonny's button and zip on his trousers which dropped around his ankles, he held onto Will as he stepped out of them and kicked them to one side, Will helped Sonny to the bed and he clambered back and proceeded to take his socks off and throw them to one as Will stood at the foot of the bed and removed his socks and trousers and also then climbed onto the bed and came and hovered above Sonny and kissed him at first gently and then more passionately, Sonny opening his lips and allowing his tongue to drag along Will's lips, who in turn opened his and their tongues danced with one another, Sonny pulled for Will to be closer to him and he placed his legs between Sonny and began to rock himself slowly against Sonny.
Their breathing began to race and hitch and the friction of their boxers was starting to become restricted, Sonny was the first to caress his way down and tug at Will's boxers freeing him, who slowed down to pull them off properly, giving Sonny time to lift himself up and pull his own off
They both went back to kissing and rocking against one another with panted I love you in between and for the rest of the night they reconnection and consummated their marriage.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Will yawned and tried to stretch his body out, hearing a few cracks in his back, he rolls over and his smile is wide and goofy but he can't help it, the sight before him makes him so happy. Sonny continues to lie there on his chest, his breathing slow and steady, Will playfully runs his hand along Sonny's back inching himself closer to his husband.
Sonny stirs and opens one eye "Good Morning Mr Horton-Kiriakis" and raises himself on his elbow and leans in to kiss Will.
"Good Morning Mr HK!" and they continue to kiss, Will pushes at Sonny for him to lie on his back as he slides himself onto Sonny
"I can't believe we are married again" Will said as he raised his hand and twinkled the silver in the light
"You know this is not being removed, no matter who asks or begs, hell even you won't get me to take it off" William says.
Sonny laughed and said "Right back atcha my love, forever"
"Husbands for life" Will replied
"Husbands for life" Sonny repeated.
