Sonny stares blankly at Will, searching. Tears are flowing down Will's cheek.
"Baby," Will sobs. He begins stroking Sonny's cheek, lovingly.
Sonny looks up at Will, confused. "Where am I? Who are you?"
Will is taken aback by these questions. "Babe, it's Will. You are in the hospital. Do you know how you got here?"
"Will? Why am I here?"
"You don't remember?" Will asks.
"All I remember is being at the coffeehouse."
"It's ok, baby," Will says soothingly. "Don't worry about it right now. Just try to rest."
Sonny smiles at him weakly and closes his eyes. A few minutes later his breathing takes on a slow, steady rhythm and Will knows he's asleep. Will heads out to the nurse's station to see if Cameron is still there.
"Cam?" Will calls out.
"Yeah?"
"Sonny opened his eyes. And he was talking to me. He remembers being at the coffeehouse. But he didn't know who I was until I told him. Do you think something is wrong?"
Cameron has a worried expression on his face. "Will, I hate to keep sounding like a broken record. But nothing physically has changed. We just have to wait and see what happens. He isn't still awake, is he?"
"No, I told him to sleep. That's what he is doing now."
"WILL?"
Will hears Sonny scream out his name. He and Cameron race into his room. Sonny's eyes are still closed, but he has a pained expression on his face. Sonny is thrashing in bed. Will runs to the side of the bed and grabs Sonny's hand.
"I'm going to grab him a sedative," Cameron tells Will and leaves the room.
Will nods his head. "Baby. I'm right here. I love you."
Will's heart drops looking at Sonny. He seems so afraid. What is going on in that pretty little head of yours? He hates seeing Sonny like this. Will throws the rules out the window and slowly slides into bed with Sonny making sure to avoid all wires and tubes. He puts one arm behind Sonny's neck and pulls his head to Will's chest and uses the other arm to pull the rest of Sonny's body to him. He can feel Sonny shaking. Will caresses Sonny's back. He can hear quiet sobs escape Sonny's lips.
"I'm right here, Sonny. I'm not going anywhere. I love you."
Will can feel Sonny's body start to relax into him. His breathing starts to even out, but he can still hear small sobs escape Sonny's lips. With each sob, Will's heart aches for the man he loves a little bit more.
Cameron comes back into the room and sees Will in bed with Sonny. Cameron sighs. "Will. You know that's not allowed."
Will looks up at Cameron with tears in his eyes. "I know, but he needs me. We both need this."
Cameron shakes his head sadly and smiles. "You're lucky I'm such a romantic."
