Victor Kiriakus was a busy man, who had no time for bull. He ran a news company, a trucking industry, and was a partner with Chad DiMera so he could help run his beloved grandnephews clubs to honor him. So, he had no time to waste and people who messed with his time usually had something happen to them, unless it was his family, well except Alex. That hot-headed boy was a pain most of the time.

He was working on some paper work in his living room while having a drink. Maggie was in the kitchen since they check up on Will, but Today was a hard day and he didn't think Will remembered it. It was Sonny's birthday and it was going to be one of the hardest days they had to experienced yet. Yes, Sonny was going to miss other holidays and all the children's birthdays, but on Sonny's birthday he would celebrate his family, not himself. He would celebrate the years he's known the love of his life. How many years he was a father. How many years his family loved him. That's who Sonny Kiriakus was.

He smiled at the recollection of his favorite among his overwhelming large family. He made him so proud and was sorry that he didn't get the chance to say it one last time. The one thing that Victor knew he could do for the boy, was take care of Will. Everyone knew what Will was like when Sonny fell down the stairs, he hit his head and was in a coma for a few weeks.

Victor walked into Sonny's ICU room with Maggie in hand. Sonny was laying in the bed with an I.V drip and bandages on his head from the surgery. At his side was a pale blonde man holding his hand. He was hunched over and was drifting side to side, falling asleep and waking up. Maggie gave him a look and tried to get Will to go home, because he hasn't left the hospital since Sonny was admitted. He yelled and cried that he wouldn't leave the love of his life.

"I'm not leaving him," Will choked out, "He was there for me, I'll always be there for him."

"Dear please," Maggie begged, "He would want you to take care of yourself."

"No."

"Son," Victor ushered, "Listen to your Aunt"

"No."

"You have bags under your eyes that make you look like a someone punched you."

"No."

"William!"

"No."

"Fine," Victor sighed, "Once he wakes up your going home."

"Fine," Will signed. Maggie left the room and Victor followed her. Once he was out the room he heard will sob and telling Sonny he loved him and to come back. Later that day, Chad had to drag him to the back of the hospital and hose him down, and Tad and Ben dropped cold soapy water down on him from the roof. Once he was clean and the girls (Melanie, Gabi, and Abigail) stuffed some needed food down his face, he punched Chad and went back to his place in Sonny's room. Sonny woke up a week or two later and Will never left him. He stayed in a cot and help with his therapy and left the hospital when he did.

Once Victor heard what happened to Sonny, that he was now just a lifeless corpse that was destined to be buried in the ground, he looked at his crying wife Maggie, who know him better than he knew himself and said Yes to what he was going to ask before he could say the words. Will and his Great-grandniece and Great-grandnephews would come to say with them. There was no way either of them could say no to them. He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his phone ring. He picked it up even though it was an unknown number.

"Hello, its Ari," a little girl said on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, hello Arianna." He chuckled, "What do I owe the pleasure of hearing your adorable voice outside of the house and using an unknown number"

"I'm using the Uncle Chad's phone. I'm in his car with the twins and Uncle Chad picked us up with Mom. There was kinda of an incident." She mumbled.

"What incident."

"Someone was making fun of Lucas and Justin by pointing at him and calling him a baby," she whimpered and said, "So I knocked them out and he fell on his ass."

"Ari," Victor heard Chad say, "No cussing."

"I'll cuss when I want to. Especially if an asshole like him is making fun of my family." He heard on the other side of the phone. She was mostly like Sami and Will, but on rear occasions she acted like a Kiriakus and protected her family like Sonny and he would do. "I'm back."

"You aren't only a Horton."

"I'm part Kiriakus," he could actually hear her frown, "He were making fun of them for missing Papa." Victor's anger level rose from a normalcy of 2 to a 12 at that moment. Maggie walked into the room and could feel the heat radiating off his body from the anger.

"I'm going to take care of it," he growled, and he remembered he was talking to an ten-year-old, "What do you want me to do?"

"Kiriakus DiMera combo," she said bluntly and quickly said, "Knock em dead."

"Ari!" Chad said again, "Do not stick out your tongue at me."

"Whatever."

"Arianna," Victor said while pinching the bridge of his nose," Put me on speaker." When Ari put him on speaker he told her to stop disrespecting her elders, she didn't like it but always listened to her Uncle Victor no matter what. She listened to him more than her Dads sometimes.

"Yes, Uncle Victor," she sighed. Chad watched as the little girl started to fidget and twirl her hair as Victor scolded her. She started to misbehave after Sonny… Well you know what happened. Will didn't have the heart to yell at the kids, so since they were living under Victors roof, he made the rules. "Sorry Uncle Chad."

He smiled at her and gave her a nod, which indicated that she was forgiven, "Chad I expect a phone call in the near future, I will save this number since I already have Ben's and T's."

"Yes sir, and of course."

"Well see you soon." Victor hung up.
