Chapter 4
They were all tired and they couldn't wait anymore. Will was impatiently waiting for the results. He didn't know what he would do without him. Will, Adrienne, Lucas and a few others stood by the nurses station. While the rest of them were in the waiting room.
Kayla came out and stood at the counter with Sonny's form. They all stood up and walked towards her.
"Is he going to be okay?" Adrienne asked Kayla. She looked up at all of them trying to find a way to tell them.
Daniel walked into the waiting room and saw Victor and Maggie. Melanie and Brady were in there as well.
"So, how is he?"
"He's going to be fine. He lost a lot of blood, but he managed to pull through."
"Oh thank god." Maggie sighed in a huge relief.
"Thank you Daniel." Victor shook his hand.
"You're welcome. If it hadn't been for Maggie applying pressure on the wound, he wouldn't have made it. You saved his life." He smiled at Maggie.
"You both saved his life. You're both heroes in my eyes." Victor smiled.
"I'm so glad he's okay." Melanie walked up to her dad and hugged him.
"Me too."
"He's going to be fine."
"Oh thank god." Adrienne sighed heavily.
"He lost a lot of blood, but we were able to get a donor with his blood type."
"What do you mean?"
"His blood type is rare and there were already complications with the wound. But it was a good thing we had someone come in. He saved Sonny's life."
"Thank you so much aunt Kayla." Will hugged her.
Everyone else sighed a relief knowing that Sonny is going to be fine. Daniel had returned as did everyone else from the waiting room. Some of them had left as it was getting crowded.
"Can I see him?" Will asked.
"Of course. But he is out if it. He will need a lot of rest." Maxine replied.
"Thank you." Will practically skipped his way into recovery. He opened the door quietly and looked over towards the bed. He nearly keeled over when he saw Sonny lying there. He didn't want to lose him. After everything he has done, he can't lose him. Will walked over towards the bed and sat on the chair next to him.
"It's me. I thought I almost lost you. What were you doing in the Square huh? I can't lose you Sonny. I just can't. I need you, and so does Arianna. We don't know how to laugh without you. We don't know how to have fun without you. I can't work on the finances and the accounting on my own. You're better at it than I am. And who's going to teach Arianna to climb a mountain and go skydiving? I know I can't, I'm too afraid of heights. We both need you Sonny. We can't live without you, and I don't want to lose you again." Will cried softly. He took Sonny's hand in his and kissed the back of his hand.
Just outside the door, Paul stood there wanting to see Sonny. He almost thought he lost him for good. He needed to see him, and make sure that he is okay. His hand moved to the doorknob to open the door.
"What are you doing here?" Someone asked from behind him. Paul turned around and saw Adrienne.
Out in the nurses station, everyone else had left, except for Lucas, Justin, Victor, and Maggie. The four of them were relieved that Sonny was doing better.
"It's been a long day." Maggie said.
"It has. I'm just glad that he is going to be okay." Lucas replied. Maggie held on to Victor, knowing that he needed the comfort.
"I asked you a question."
"I came to check on Sonny."
"Why? Why now?"
"I still love him." Paul said with sadness in his eyes.
"Why are you doing this to him? He doesn't need you in his life anymore."
"I know he still needs me."
"Why don't you just leave Paul? You came here for surgery, your arm is better. Just leave. Sonny doesn't want to see you anymore."
"That's not true. And I'm not leaving. Not until I see him." Paul stood his ground.
"I remember when you were there for me when I was in the hospital. My mom told me you never left my side. I'm not going to leave you anymore. Nothing is going to come between us. Not anymore, I promise. I love you Sonny." Will brought his other hand and brushed a few strands of hair away from Sonny's forehead.
"I need you to open your eyes for me. I don't want to do this without you." Will looked over at the machine for a minute, then back at Sonny. His hand still in Sonny's and his other hand resting on his heart. Will moved off the chair and kissed Sonny first on his cheek, then his lips.
"I'm his mother and I forbid you to see him. He's not going to take it well. And he's married. His husband is in there with him right now."
"I don't think he is going to take it well when he finds out what his husband did to him."
"What are you talking about?" The door opened and Will came out.
"Oh sweetie, how is he?" Adrienne walked over to Will and hugged him.
"He's doing good. He's strong."
"I wanted to see how you were holding up." Paul looked at Will.
"I'm okay. Sonny's is going to be okay. Thanks for sticking around." Will moved to hug him.
"Anytime." Paul smiled and walked away.
"I'm going to check on him." Adrienne said and walked into the room.
The beeping sound from the monitor continued on. But the wires around him scared his mom.
"Oh sweetie. I'm so glad you're okay. Thank god Victor and Maggie were there. I thought I almost lost you." She cried openly.
"If something would have happened, I just.." She couldn't formulate any coherent words. Each time she tried to say so,etching, she couldn't stop crying. A hand fell on her shoulder and reassured her with a gentle squeeze. Adrienne turned around and saw that it was Justin. She got up from the chair and hugged him.
"He's okay. He's going to be fine."
"I'm sorry about earlier." Paul walked up to Will as he grabbed a cup of coffee.
"It's fine. I was being a jerk."
"No hard feelings then?" Paul asked with a smile.
"Nope. It's all good."
"Thanks Will. I appreciate it."
"You're welcome."
"Um, oh, never mind." Paul was trying to think of a way to ask Will if he could see Sonny.
"What?"
"Oh, I was going to ask you something. But it slipped my mind."
"What is it?" Will looked at him.
"It's nothing. Oh, I saw that the article is up."
"Really?!"
"Yeah. It's great."
"All that hard work paid off." Will laughed. Adrienne and Justin came back about an hour later from recovery.
Victor made his way to the room with Maggie close to him. Adrienne watched Paul closely as he and Will were bonding. There has to be some way for him to leave. She thought that he had something to do with the state that Sonny is in. She just had to figure something out.
