'' Please Forgive Me ''

Chapter Two!

"Knock knock."

Marlena came to the door not sure who could be there since no one ever came to her office on the weekends. She'd been using the time to read up on the patients she would see on Monday.

"Hello, Sonny. Please come in, dear boy!"

Sonny's POV

I walked over to the couch and sat down, hoping that Will had spoken to Marlena before he left town. After all, Marlena was much more than Will's grandma. She was also his best friend.

"Sweetie, would you like some tea?"

I just nod, as I can't seem to find any words. I simply sit and watch this lovely lady walk away from me.

Marlena's POV

As I stand here filling the kettle with water, I realize that it's up to me. I grab my phone and text my dear boy. I know that he told me not to let him know if or when Sonny shows up, but it's been a few weeks now, so maybe he has changed his mind.

"He's here and sitting on the couch. He's upset, Will. Are you really sure about this? Is there a chance you could be wrong?"

I made the pot of tea and got some cookies while I waited for the answer from Will. Seconds later, I got my answer,

"He doesn't love me anymore, so yes, I am very sure."

I know in my heart that my dear boy is wrong, but I decide to keep his secret anyway. At least for now. With a shake of my head, I put my phone away and head out with the tea tray to rejoin Sonny.

Sonny's POV

"Here you are, Sonny. I put two cubes of sugar in your cup for you."

"Thank you," I whisper with a polite smile.

After a few sips, I ask the question I came to ask.

"Do you know where he went, Dr. Evans? I received a ltter today. He thinks I have moved on, but I havened, and I won't ever. He needs to come back home to me. To us."

"Sonny, I really don't know where he went. I have just gotten back from a business trip. Samantha informed me what had happened in a phone call. I am truly sorry for what that young woman has caused you both. Maybe with some time he will come back."

As I sat there listening to her, I knew she would never tell me if he had asked her not to. I decide to focus on each day, and to make sure that when he does come home, it will be to a nice new flat with a separate bedroom and a man who loves him.

"Thank you for the tea, Dr. Evans. Please tell Will that I will wait for him and that what he saw was nothing. I was fooled too, but nothing happened between me and Brian. I was hurt, but I didn't want it to be only about sex. I want Will in my life, nobody else."

Nine months had passed, and still no Will. Sonny was not going to give up on their happy ending. The coffee house was doing great, and Chad and Abigail had gotten engaged. When Samantha and EJ mentioned that they were going to renew their wedding vows, Sonny offered the new nightclub as their reception place, silently hoping that a certain someone would walk through the doors and join them, but instead of making it in person, he sent a telegram from an unknown location.

Later that night, after everyone had gone and Sonny was leaving after closing up, he was nearly home when he was attacked from behind. He was hit on the head a few times, and stabbed twice, but it was pure luck that he was found very quickly by a young couple who happened to be walking nearby.

Sonny spent two months in an induced coma, so that the brain swelling could go down enough for them to operate on him. The wounds on his body were healing nicely, but the head wound was a lot more complicated.

Today was the day that doctors had decided to bring Sonny out of his coma. The last CAT scan looked promising, so they decided it was time. If he did well for the next week, they would do the surgery.

"Good morning, Justin and Adrienne. Dr. Hayes should be here shortly."

"Hello, Kayla."

Twenty minutes later, Dr. Hayes came into Sonny's room. Justin and Adrienne were waiting for him.

"Good morning, Dr. Brady and Mr. and Mrs. Kiriakis. I have been looking at your son's latest CAT scans, and the swelling has gone down quite a lot. That is good. I have decided to begin the process of bringing him out fo the coma today. It might take a day or so for him to wake up, so don't panic if it doesn't happen right away."

Two weeks passed, and Sonny still hadn't woken up. Everything in his scans showed that he was fone, so he should be awake by now. Why wasn't he?

Another two weeks passed, and everyone was beginning to worry. Victor had flown in different doctors who specialized in brain trauma, and they all said the same thing: It was quite possible that Sonny simply didn't want to wake up, even though there was no physical reason for him not to.

Everyone knew whey he didn't want to wake up, even Adrienne. Yes, she was still very angry at the man she blamed for the entire situation, but she would still give anything to have him in the room at that moment just so her baby would be happy again and begin to fight. But nobody knew where Will had gone.

Kayla had been asked to swap with a younger doctor whose children wanted to go trick-or-treating. She was making her midnight rounds when she spotted a face looking back at her from the stairwell door. The ten months that he'd been missing hadn't really done him any good, emotionally that is, and she can see that he's still lost. She quickly decides that she can think about that later. Right now the only thing that matters is that Will is back and Sonny needs him.

"Follow me, he's been waiting."

Will's POV

As I follow my Aunt to Sonny's room, I really don't know what to expect since Grandma didn't tell me anything except I needed to come home because Sonny needed me. So, here I am, but where is he? Shouldn't he be with Brian instead of me? As I walk into the room, I hear the beating of his heart on the machine, and I see that he has longer hair that is messy. Suddenly, I hear Aunt Kayla talking to me, so I look at her.

"Will, he was attacked while leaving the night club. He got bashed on the head and stabbed in two places. We put him into an induced coma so that he could heal, and so that the swelling would go down on his brain, which it did. We brought him out of the coma several weeks ago, but he won't wake up. Everyone is scared. His uncle even brought in the top specialist from Sweden, but all the doctors come back with the same answer: Physically, there is no reason for him not to open his eyes, but he doesn't seem to want to."

"Where is his boyfriend, Brian? Why is he here all alone?"

"His parents always stay as long as they can, and as for a boyfriend, I haven't seen anyone with him besides Chad and Abby. They are engaged, and both Sonny and Chad have done really well with the coffee house and expanded to the night club, so that takes up most of Sonny's time. Look, I will leave you to catch up. It's so great to see you again.

I sit here near you, looking at you lying in a hospital bed, and listening to your beautiful and caring heart beating, the one I ripped out so many months ago with a simple stupid mistake. Today is Halloween. Remember that night back at your flat? I wish we could go back to that night. I wish for so many things, but most of all, I wish for you to open your brown eyes for me. Please, Baby, you need to wake up for us. You said that you would wait for me. Well, I am back, but I want my home back too. They say that talking to someone in a coma can bring them around, so I guess I have a lot to tell you about where I have been. So, here goes, my love. Can I even call you that anymore? I didn't really care where I ended up, so I bought a ticket with the money I had saved from working with EJ, and went to Australia. I wanted to be where nobody would look for me, and I guessed that would be a great place to hide. I started working in a coffee shop, and learned to make all kinds of coffee. Baby, you would have been so proud of me.I had planned to stay there forever, but when I heard that you had been hurt, I knew I had to come home. I just hope I'm not too late.

Chandler's POV

Sorell is an amazing and beautiful small town, where the people are friendly and caring. I still can't believe we have so many fans as far away as Australia. Shelley took care of me for an entire week, making sure to keep my presence a secret, never even telling any of her online friends. She told me about a one bedroom unit being for sale, and I bought it and moved in there, deciding I could always come back for visits later on.

Sonny POV

I can hear that voice again, but is it in my head? Am I dreaming that you have come back to me? I hear my family pleading for me to come back, but I don't want to live without you. Do you even know that I am in the hospital? Has she told you? Why is it so hard to let you go, even here in my dreams? I can't walk away from you, even though you have left me. Why should I open my eyes when I have nothing to be happy about? Suddenly, I hear the most angelic voice in my head, singing a song that I know so well, as it was our song. Could I be going mad, as he never sang to me in our time together? Maybe I am going out of my head after all.

As I lay in the bed, I try and picture that he did this when we were in our bed at home after making love, but it only brings heartache and makes me cry over what I lost by pushing him away. He had asked me twice to just listen to him, but I didn't. My heart shatters, and I decide to just let it go. Just as I am about to give up, I feel something caress my body, wiping away my tears.

Will POV

"Baby, please, I need you. I can't breathe without you in my life. Remember that day in HTC when you asked me to marry you? Well, I want that now. I want to grow old with you as we see the world and have children with you when we are ready. I miss you, so please open those beautiful brown eyes that held me in your spell from day one."

I know that I will likely get into trouble, but I don't care. I need Sonny to know that I am real, and not just a dream, so I carefully climb into the bed and place myself above him. I make sure to place all my weight on my arms, so I don't hurt him, then gently lower myself so that he can feel my body on his. Then I slowly start to kiss him, starting with his closed eyelids, then moving to his nose, cheeks, and finally reach the lips that I have missed so much. I move to his throat, moving my lips and tongue across his adams apple, while I reach for his hand and bring it up to my chest, placing it underneath my shirt so that he can feel my skin under his fingertips and so that he can feel my heartbeat. I looked down at him, still just laying there, and something inside me comes undone. Needing even more body contact, I lower myself fully, pressing his body into the mattress, and I pray that he will wake up soon, because I can't handle this anymore.

After thirty minutes, I know that nothing I had done was going to bring you back to me so I pulled away and climbed off the bed then turned to leave for good. I just couldn't watch you die like that. I would just go back to my new life, even though it would never really be home without you. Just as I reached the door, I heard your voice scream out to me.

"Will, No!"

Sonny POV

I can feel him. He's breathing above me, and he is kissing me. This can't be a dream. Did he really come back for me? He has my hand on his chest, and I can feel his skin under my fingers and feel his heart beating for me again. God, I have my baby back. Suddenly, I start to panic, as he is moving away from me. I let him walk from me once, but never again, so I scream at the top of my lungs to make him stop.

Will POV

When I turned back around, I saw yu trying to sit up in your bed. I didn't even think, I just ran to you and climbed back on top of you, not caring that I might be hurting you or that we might have nurses and doctors running in at any second. All that mattered was that you were awake and that we were touching. My whole body shivered at your fingertips, and I had every intention of slowing down my attack on you, but when you growled and opened your legs wider to allow me to fall between them and then wrapped your fingertips through my hair and pulled me even closer, I lost it completely. I had started to reach for your top when I heard a noise behind us, so I started to pull away. Just then, you once again made that noise in the back of your throat, so I spoke up to save us from more embarrassment.

"Baby, we have some company, so we have to stop. Plus, they need to check you over. Let me sit next to you and hold your hand, ok?"

I carefully climbed off the bed, trying to hide my own discomfort at being caught while making out with my soon-to-be-husband.

Kayla knew that she should be angry with Will for putting Sonny in danger of damaging his heart, but she honestly couldn't when she saw both boys so happy and in love after so long. It proved that all the doctors were right with their observations. Sonny just needed the right incentive to wake up and open his eyes again.

"Is he alright, Aunt Kayla? Is it alright if I stay with him for the rest of the night? It's a very special night for us, plus, I don't have anywhere to go. I came straight here from the airport, and my bag is in your office, remember?"

Suddenly, Sonny realized that what he had heard Will say was really true and not a dream. Will had come from Australia just for him when he heard about the attack.

"Yes, Will, you may stay with your boyfriend, but only if you agree to sleep in a fold up bed. The nurses will not like you sleeping in the same bed, no matter who you are or who he is. Sonny, welcome back to the living. I'll be back to check on you again before my shift is over. Behave, you two."

Will POV

As soon as Aunt Kayla had gone, I was being pulled back onto the bed by Sonny. Instead of getting on top of him again, I made him snuggle into my arms, and we talked about Australia and how we would go there for our honeymoon.

"Baby, if you need to go back to sleep, it's fine. Don't fight it. I am staying right here in this room with you, and honestly, I could do with some shut-eye myself, as the jet lag is starting to kick in. How about we snuggle in fro the night after I go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. I love you."

Sonny let Will out of the bed and head for the bathroom. He couldn't help but start crying as all his emotions started make themselves known. When Will came back, he found his baby sobby. Quickly getting back onto the bed, he pulled his soul mate into his arms and held him close to his body. Sonny fell asleep listening to the beat of Will's heart.
