I apologize that this has taken me so long to update! School has kept me very busy, but I have a week off. I am hoping to post a couple of chapters this week! I didn't mean to leave you guys hanging. Hope this chapter was worth the wait! Thank you so much for the reviews and love! It means so much! And our boys are back together! :)
"Will?"
Will hears someone groan out his name. He lifts his head off of the railing of Sonny's bed and rubs the sleep from his eyes. He sees Sonny moving his head from side to side, shaking his head no. He hears his name escape Sonny's lips again. Tears spring to Will's eyes. He hasn't heard Sonny's beautiful voice in over 2 weeks. He begins to slowly stroke Sonny's cheek.
"Shhhh," Will whispers while trying to choke back sobs. "I'm right here, baby. Shhhh."
Sonny's grip around Will's fingers tighten and he groans out, "Will?"
"Yeah, baby?"
Will hits the button for the nurse's station. Maxine saunters into the room.
"What do you need, honey?"
"I-It's So-Sonny," he cries, keeping his eyes fixed on his boyfriend. "He's been saying my name."
Dr. Davis, the on-call physician, walks into the room.
"Cam?" Will asks. "What's going on? This is good, right?"
Cameron assesses Sonny to see if there has been any change in his condition. His heart rate and blood pressure are elevated, but everything else remains the same.
"It's promising," the doctor replies.
"D-does that me-mean…" Will stammers out.
"Well, we won't know anything until he wakes up. But it is looking like that may happen soon."
Tears fall down Will's face. He doesn't know what to say. This is what they have waited for. The endless days at Sonny's bedside. The prayers everyone has said are coming true. His love is coming back to him. Will pulls out his phone and texts Sonny's family and friends to share the good news.
"Will?" Sonny's voice is quiet and shaky. "Will?"
Sonny is getting more restless. His hand tightens around Will's fingers. The muscles in Sonny's arms tighten. Will can see his biceps swell. He looks up at the doctor. "Can you give him something for pain? This is how he usually gets when he starts hurting?"
Cam nods his head and leaves the room. Will places a gentle kiss on Sonny's lips as he continues to stroke his cheek and hold his hand.
"I'm right here, baby. I'm right here."
This time the sound of Will's voice isn't calming Sonny down. He begins to get more agitated. He begins kicking his legs and moving his arms around.
"Will? Where are you?" Sonny quietly cries out. "No. Don't hurt him. Will?"
Will is becoming alarmed at Sonny's words and actions. What is going on? Will's eyes are fearful. Cameron walks back into Sonny's room with some pain medication.
"Something's wrong, Cam" Will cries out. "He won't calm down like he usually does when I talk to him. He keeps whispering my name. Then he started saying 'don't hurt him'. What's going on?"
Cameron looks at Will sadly. "It may have to do with the break in. He may be reliving it, but we won't know anything until he wakes up. If this medication doesn't calm him down, I have something else I can give him. Ok?"
Will nods his head. He is shaking trying to hold back his sobs. Tears are cascading down his cheek.
"Baby," Will softly cries into Sonny's ear. "Baby, I'm right here. Just calm down. I'm fine. Just relax. I'm right here, baby. I love you."
Sonny's hand begins to relax against Will's. Sonny turns his head in the direction of Will's voice and his eyes flutter open.
