Sami is sitting at her desk when EJ comes in. "How is William doing?" "Much better, he is sitting up talking and eating all good signs." "I was scared EJ...and that someone would do that to my boy..I hope they catch him and throw his ass in jail for a very very long time." "Do they have any suspects yet?" "No there are no surveillance cameras in Sonny's building or in the parking lot." "I would have thought every place would have them by now." "But anyway my dad is working on the case." "Well give William my best and if you need anything you let me know." "Thank you EJ." "Just as EJ is leaving Rafe walks in. The two exchange their usual contempt looks at each other but don't speak. Rafe enters the office and closes the door.
"So when were you going to tell me that Will, your gay son, is the father of my sister's baby?" "First I will not have you talk about Will that way." "If you do it again this conversation will be over got it?" "I am sorry". "You seem to do a lot of apologizing for your off the cuffs comments." "You should work on maybe stop offending people so often." " You just fly off the handle without even thinking about the ramifications." "So when did you find out?"Sami asked "That doesn't matter what matters is I know so what are we going to do about it.?" "What do you mean what are we going to do about it." "The IT has been done at this point all we can do is to support them both, and by the way thanks for asking about Will it is appreciated." "I am sorry ...how is he doing?" "Better now for all you care." "Oh don't say that of course I care". "Really Rafe? " You don't call to find out about him or stop by the hospital." "Do you know he almost died Rafe DO YOU KNOW THAT? Rafe tries to say something but Sami cuts him off. "Oh forget about it Rafe."
"As for Gaby and Will, neither know how they are going to handle this so they are trying to work on it together." "All we can do is try to point them in the right directions." "And what direction is that Sami?" "Your son got my sister pregnant." "I am sorry but I seem to remember that it takes two to make a baby". "And your sister is not screaming foul here." "So she is just as responsible as Will." "So I will thank you to not pin this entire situation on my son."Sami says as she is looking on her desk for something. "Oh there it is" "Could you hand me that file on the chair next to you." Rafe goes to reach for it with his left hand since it is to the left of him but reaches around instead with his right. "What's wrong with your hand?" "What do you mean what's wrong with it?" "Well you just reached across with your right hand to pick up a file that was to your left." "So what difference does that make?" "It doesn't make a difference why are you so defensive?" "Never mind that what are we going to do about this baby thing?" "Well Rafe this BABY THING, as you so politely referred to as ,is something that Gaby and Will are going to have to talk through on their own." "They are going to have to weigh their options." "I am sure you know that Gaby is keeping the baby...right." "Yes I know that." "Well they need to handle this for now." "Should they ask for our help we will give it to them." "But for right now they need to fully understands what this means for the both of them."Sami states. "That's it...that's your plan...let them handle it." "Well as usually you didn't hear anything I said." I said for now they need to handle this their way." "I have already talk to Will about it...and I spoke to Gaby and let her know that if she has any question not to hesitate to call me at anytime." "Now if there is nothing else ...I have some work to do and then go visit my son in the hospital". "I will stop by tonight"Rafe offers. "Please don't you will just upset him and the doctor said he need to avoid the stress." "What do you mean upset him?" Really Rafe...you really have to ask that question?" "Look at the way you came in here." "Will doesn't need to have you adding more pressure on him." "Alright fine if you don't want me to visit him I won't visit him." "Well if there is nothing else you would like to blame us for I think we are done here." Rafe stands up..."I am not blaming anyone..Sami interrupts..Rafe spare me okay... you came in here hell bent on accusing my son of getting your sister pregnant as if she had nothing to do with it." " I just don't want to hear it okay...I have enough on my plate already..I don't need you dumping more on it." "Goodbye." "I am sorry Sami...ah there it is again." "Just go please." "Rafe doesn't speak again and leaves. Sami goes back to her computer but her hands are shaking so bad she can't type anything. "That bastard."
Gaby and Nick are working at the pub together. They had a long talk last night and have settled a few things. Nick still wants to be with her despite the baby she is having with Will. Gaby is grateful that he is so understanding and that he does truly loves her. Nick is reaching across the table to grab some glasses and Gaby notices a bruise on his left hand. "What happen there...it looks painful?" "No it feel a lot better now." "What happen? "Oh... I was leaving the mansion the other day and I wasn't paying attention and I tripped on the first step and smashed my hand on to the stone railing." "But it is okay now." "It doesn't look ok...did you have it x rayed? you might have broken a knuckle or something." 'No really it is fine..see" Nick says as he flexes his hand open and closed a few times. "See nothing broken." If you say so but I would still get it checked out."Gaby suggests. "I will if it starts to bother me again." The bells ring over the entrance to the pub and Marlena and John come in.
They take a table and sit down. "Nick could you please take their order for me I have to get something from the kitchen." "No maybe you should...what do you need from the kitchen...I will get it." Oh...okay...I need two boxes of napkins from the storage room." They are on the top shelf on the right". "Okay got it" Nick says as he hurries off.
"Hello Dr Evans, Mr Black". "How is Will doing? "Will he be in the hospital long." "I was so worried about him when I heard." "He is doing much better." "Thank you for asking".Marlena says. "As for how long he will be in there we aren't really sure yet but he has had Sonny with him most of the time." "I think that is what is making his recovery so quick." "Well could you tell him I am thinking of him and praying for him." "I will do that Gaby thank you". "So what will you have today?" John and Marlena place their order and Gaby goes to the kitchen to hand it in. Nick finally emerges from the storage room. "What took you so long?" "To be honest I forgot what you asked for but then I remembered." "I was talking to John and Dr Evans about Will and...Nick interrupts her..."Where do you want these? " "Under the bar...there are two empty box under there that you can throw in the recycle dumpster." " Wait aren't you going to ask about Will." "I know you are mad but he is your cousin?" "Oh yeah...how is he doing?" "He is doing better" Gaby says slowly and with almost a question tone in it. "Is there something wrong?" " I thought we talk through all of this last night?" Gaby says. "No...no we did". "Then why the lack of concern for Will?" "No I am concerned believe me." "It is just so much is happening so fast that it is hard to concentrate." "I am sorry"Nick offers. Gaby doesn't believe him but she will let it slide. "Why don't you go out and talk to Dr Evans and ask about Will?" "No that's okay you already talk to them, I am sure they don't want to keep talking about it to everyone." Gaby abruptly leaves the kitchen and clears some tables while she waits for Marlena and John's order to be ready.
"So Will walk me through what happen everything you can remember even if it is seems trivial" Roman asks. "Well I don't remember a lot". "I was sleeping and I heard knocking on the door." So I got out of bed and walked over to the door, wait I remember someone yelling through the door for me to open the door." " I can't tell you who's voice it was but it was familiar." And that is the last thing I remember until I woke up here." "Sorry grandpa I wish I could be more help." "Sonny is holding his hand and squeezed it gently. "Hey you remembered more than you did this morning" Sonny said as encouragement. "So maybe it will just take some time for all the memories to come back." "Will, Sonny and I have a theory that whoever did this to you may have just acted out in rage and it wasn't really a premeditated act." "We think they came over because you might have done something to them and they were going to get some sort of retribution." "We think that because, if they really had it out for you they wouldn't have stopped at just one punch." "There would have been more of an attack" Roman says. Sonny picks up from there. "And Will we think that when they hit you and you struck you head on the desk and fell unconscious they got scared and ran off." "They were afraid because they did not intend for it to go that far"Sonny concludes. "So Will can you think of anyone who might have some issue with you right now or recently?" Will looks at Sonny for support but Sonny is not sure why so he intervenes and says. "Maybe we should stop this for now". "The doctor doesn't want him to get too worked up." "Okay we'll stop here for now". Roman says as Will squeezes Sonny hand. "Now if you remember anything else you let me know right away okay?" "Yes grandpa I will let you know." "Well I am going to head back to the precinct and try to take a look at this with some new eyes." "Now you take care and I will talk to you soon"Roman says as he walks out.
"Will what was that about" Sonny asked. Will explains, "As I was thinking about it it occurred to me ...has Gaby told Nick or Rafe?"Will explains. "Do you think one of them would do something like this?"Sonny asked. "Well look at Rafe's history." "Just in the past few months he has had a few fights with EJ." "And you have seen him fly off the handle even in the coffee house when he saw my mom and EJ together." "So no I can't say for sure that he wouldn't do this." "But like you said it might have been done in a fit of rage and that certainly fits Rafe's MO." Will said. "As for Nick well he could be upset because it is me that got Gaby pregnant." Not only because it is me but because I am gay too."Will says. "You're right Will both of them would have feelings of anger for you." "But to leave you there on the floor like that and not try to help." Would either of them do that to you?" Sonny asked. "Well maybe they her Mrs Clayton coming up the stairs and got scare but figured she would find me so that is why they left the door open so she would see me." "But how could they know she would even look." " I have been know to leave my door open sometimes when I come home so it really isn't uncommon."Sonny says. "What if all they did was go up a flight as stairs and wait to see if she finds me." "If she doesn't then they would make and anonymous call to 911 from your apartment and then leave." "Didn't you say Mrs Clayton saw someone in the parking lot acting nervous." "What if they were just waiting to see if I came out alive or in a body bag?" "When they saw that I was alive they just booked." "It does make sense...I am just having trouble thinking that one of them could be so callous about you". Sonny says.
"Well all I can say is that all this thinking is giving me a headache so can we stop trying to be Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine for a while?" Will asks. "Sure we can I will just sit and be quiet and you can get some sleep." Could you do me a favor?" " What is it?" Could you help me to sit up a bit." Sonny step over to the bed..and puts his hand under Wills shoulder and Will put his hand on Sonny's neck and pulls him down and kisses him long and hard. "When they separate Sonny says "Ah you tricked me." I like tricks." "Will looks at him and says...and that is the best medicine I could get."
