"How do these things keep happening," Sonny demanded as he jabbed his thumb against the elevator button repeatedly. "And why isn't this fucking working?"

"I don't know," Paul shouted while shaking his head. As the elevator door finally opened Paul, practically shoving the elderly woman in the wheelchair out of his way, pushed the button for the floor they needed. "We promised him yesterday this shit wouldn't happen anymore."

Pacing in the small, confined area slowly Sonny felt like screaming, "Why didn't we ever get his head checked out again? Why did we never even think to do that?"

"Why the hell did the hospital not do it after he got his stitches out," Paul shot back. "None of this is right." 'And we weren't there for him.'

Rushing out when the doors opened again Paul looked from one hallway to the other not sure which way to go.

"Hey," they heard from across the room.

Looking over Paul and Sonny saw Brian standing in front of a hallway.

"What are you doing here," Paul barked immediately arms crossing as he stomped over.

Giving Paul a disgusted look Brian, turning around to walk back down the hall, replied, "Well someone had to be there for Blondie when you two couldn't be bothered."

"That's not fair," Sonny argued following Brian. "My phone was dead or I would have known."

"And stop fucking calling him that," Paul hissed. He hated the idea of someone other than him or Sonny having a pet name for Will.

"Whatever," Brian shook his head, unconcerned with them right now. "Blondie's freaking out while he waits for his results." Stopping, Brian opened a door and announced, "I told you I'd come back with something you wanted though god only knows why."

"You said you were gonna get me coffee," Will said when he saw Brian coming back empty handed. Suddenly seeing Sonny and Paul following inside Will stood up quickly and ran and threw himself against them knowing they would catch him.

"Babe," Sonny practically crushed Will to him, "What the hell is going on?"

"I don't, I just, my head," Will tried to explain but couldn't find the words. Between the pain medication Dr. Garcia gave him when his head started hurting and the fear and anxiety of the scan he was too upset to make any sense.

EJ, standing up and clearing his throat, put his hand on William's shoulder and guided him back to a chair, "You sit." Making sure William was actually resting EJ rounded on Kiriakis and Norita, "His doctor was concerned about the symptoms he's still exhibiting particularly when she found out he had a second brain injury."

"A second," Paul repeated, "What? Oh, oh my god." He put his hands to his mouth, "How the fuck did none of us think of that?" Paul vividly remembered Will's head knocking to the floor after he kissed Ian. 'How could I forget that?'

"But we made sure it was cleaned and taken care of," Sonny whispered slowly, "I didn't think-"

Brian, watching the three of them carefully, went to sit down by Will. 'Do they all talk about him like he's not in the room?' "Hey," Brian caught sight of Will's face, "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about." Pulling out his phone and sending a message to Neil Brian moved closer when Will put his head on Brian's shoulder.

Paul, eyes zeroing on Will touching Brian, kneeled in front of Will and put his hands on Will's knees, "Are you OK?" He shot Brian a nasty look.

Will shrugged, movements slow and lethargic, "I don't know." Noticing the way Paul and Brian were glaring at each other Will shook his head, feeling dizzy and closing his eyes, "Knock it off. I'm not in the mood to deal with you two on top of everything."

Sonny, keeping an eye on Will, stepped closer to EJ, "I don't want anything else bothering Will again. Ever."

"I think we've all been a little too concentrated on what could happen to William instead of what is actually going on with him," EJ admitted, crossing his arms. Noting the silent staring contest going on in front of William EJ bit his tongue harshly. 'I'm going to have to have a conversation with all the men in William's life about worrying about William instead of treating him like a toy.'

Hearing a loud commotion outside the room EJ sighed internally. Opening the door and hearing, "No I will not calm down! Tell me where the hell my son is?"

"Samantha," EJ hurried over to her. Giving the nurse a fierce look EJ took Samantha's arm and escorted her to Dr. Garcia's office where they were waiting.

"Will," Sami screamed, making him jump. Shoving Paul aside and kicking Brian out of his chair Sami took Will's hands, "What happened?"

"Mom," Will shifted away and wincing, "Stop being so loud."

"Oh, sorry," Sami slouched slightly feeling awful. "What did the doctor say? Why are you still here? I thought this was just a checkup."

"Wanted to check my head," Will told her while yawning. "I hope she comes back soon. I want to sleep."

Pushing Will's head onto her shoulder Sami cooed and rubbed his hair, "You just rest sweetheart. Close your eyes." Catching EJ's eyes Sami looked to him to offer some insight or comfort.

"I'll go see what's taking her so long," EJ proclaimed before walking out of the room. He paused after he closed the door, closing his eyes and leaning on the wall. 'Everything is fine.'


Chad came out of DiMera Enterprises in a daze. 'Where the hell is he,' Chad thought to himself. 'Where else could EJ be?' Wandering through town Chad bumped into someone without even realizing it.

"Oh sorry," Neil said before looking at the lanky body he collided with. Recognizing Chad Neil said, "Hey. Are you on your way to the hospital too?"

"Hospital," Chad questioned before shaking himself out of his stupor. "What? Oh my god, what happened to Will," Chad grabbed Neil's arm and shook him slightly. 'I cannot handle any more bad news how the hell does EJ do this?'

"He was getting some scans done on his head," Neil explained while ripping his arm away from Chad. Beginning to walk again, noting Chad was following him, Neil asked, "What's got you so upset?"

"Dude, you would not believe the bullshit that's been happening the past few days," Chad shook his head in disbelief. "I can't even believe it."

"It can't be any crazier than the shit that already happened," Neil said with a slight laugh.

"Oh, trust me, it is," Chad stated firmly. He wanted to confide in Neil with everything that had happened but he knew he couldn't. 'I can't tell this to anyone but EJ.'


Adrienne slowly made her way outside. She saw Marlena talking to a woman around the same age as her, heads bent together in a private conversation. Adrienne contemplated going over and letting her know something had happened with Will but something held Adrienne back. Instead she pulled out her phone and called Victor, "Will's in the hospital once again. I don't know what happened but Sonny ran out of here like a bat at out of hell."

"What do you want to do about it," Victor asked her calmly.

"I don't know," Adrienne shook her head. "I want Sonny to be happy but it's just one thing after another with Will. I know he's a sweet boy but I can't see Sonny being with him for much longer. Sonny's getting too mixed up with the Dimera's and I just want him safe."

"What should we do then," Victor repeated. "I don't want to upset Sonny any more than I already have if we aren't certain."

"We need to get him back on our side," Adrienne told him firmly. "He's not ruining his life over a boy." 'I'm sorry Sami but my son is worth more than our friendship.'


EJ held the door open for Dr. Garcia and followed behind her into the room crammed with far too many people.

Lifting an eyebrow at the crowd Dr. Garcia took the images in her hands and attached the first one to a device on the wall. Deciding to ignore everyone but her patient and EJ, Dr. Garcia pointed to a small gray area on the picture of Will's brain. "Can anyone guess what this is," she asked.

Brian, having a bit of experience, knew right away what it was. From his spot near Sami, where she kicked him out, Brian replied, "Contusion."

"Yes," Dr. Garcia nodded in agreement. "Fortunately it's small and appears to be healing well enough."

"What does that mean," Will asked clearing his throat. His mother was crushing his hand while Paul was clinging to one of his knees.

"It means you have bruising on your brain," Dr. Garcia pointed to a tiny gray spot on the picture. "My guess would be it's from your second injury. You said you fell and hit your head, correct?" Once Will nodded Dr. Garcia smiled and continued, "Your brain must have made contact with your skull when you fell."

"And what do we have to do from here," EJ demanded moving over to William and Samantha, shouldering Brian out of his way.

"There doesn't appear to be any swelling," Dr. Garcia continued. "So, I think for now I'm just going to recommend rest. It might seem scary but it's not actually that serious and it will go away."

Sonny, standing to the side, blinked weakly, "So, he's going to be fine? That's it?"

"Yes," Dr. Garcia assured the room. "This just means that his symptoms will be sticking around for a bit longer. Now," directly addressing Will Dr. Garcia said, "Will, I don't want you pushing yourself. That doesn't mean you can't do things it just means if they get too difficult you need to walk away and try again later. And I expect every person in this room to be watching out for you."

"We will," Paul nodded repeatedly, almost unable to stop himself, "That won't be a problem."

Looking between Paul and Sonny, recalling their relationship with her patient, Dr. Garcia could see how distressed they appeared. "It's perfectly fine that no one thought to bring him back in," she announced, "If it was very serious you would have noticed as he would be in much worse condition. But for now we just need to make sure Will is relaxed and able to heal."


Chad and Neil, bumping into Dr. Garcia on her way out the door, entered the already crowded room. Neil's eyes immediately found Brian standing in front of a scan of a brain. Putting his hand on his shoulder Neil asked, "What did I miss?"

Brian, turning his head and giving Neil a half smile, "Little bit of bruising but it's healing well enough on its own. Blondie's just going to have to take it easy for a while."

Looking at the spot Brian was pointing to Neil shivered slightly, 'I don't want to imagine anything being wrong with his brain.'

Chad, who had overheard the conversation between Brian and Neil, moved forward to join the group surrounding Will. Finally catching sight of EJ Chad had to bite his lip to not pull him away from Will. Taking several deep breaths Chad attempted to calm himself down, 'Check on Will first then tell EJ what happened.'

"See," EJ reassured William, patting the top of his head from where Samantha had it forced against her shoulder. "Nothing to be worried about."

Will, trying to move out of his mother's claws and sit up, sighed and gave up struggling, "It's still scary."

"There's nothing to be scared about," Sonny promised, standing next to Will and holding his hand. "She said the contusion was healing."

"It was still there and I didn't know," Will told everyone, "Something bad could have happened."

"But it didn't," Paul rubbed at Will's knees from his position on the floor. "Everything's going to be fine, eventually. Until then you're not going to push yourself so hard every day."

"I still want to go to school," Will announced, "The semester is almost over."

"William," EJ stated having contemplated the issue, "If you finish this semester I want you to consider taking an extended leave for the next one."

"But," Will, finally disentangling himself from his mom, sat up and looked at EJ wildly, "But I don't want to get behind."

"One extra semester will not harm anything," EJ tried to tell Will.

"But that's not what I want," Will was not having it. "After this semester is over there's a long break for the holidays. That will give me plenty of time to rest then I can go back to school again."

"Will," Sonny wanted to protest. He wanted to make Will promise that he would listen to them. 'But I don't want EJ to be someone Will immediately follows.' Out of the corner of his eye Sonny saw Neil and Brian watching them, arms crossed and eyes narrowed. "If that's what you want then we'll respect your decision."

"You will," Will asked in surprise.

Not entirely comfortable with it but knowing it was important to Will Sonny nodded, "Yes, we will." 'But don't think for a second that I'm not going to be watching out for you.'

Paul, looking between Sonny and Will in confusion, didn't say anything. He felt uneasy about it all but at the same time he wasn't sure what to make of Will's surprise. 'Why is he so amazed we would let him make his own decision? Are we really that controlling?'

Sami, relieved that Will was going to be OK, yanked his neck down to hold him again. She wanted to smother him with every motherly instinct she had.

"Mom," Will whined as she tried to maneuver his head onto her lap, "Would you stop it?" With Will's moving around to try to get away one of her rings caught in his hair, "Ow, stop it, stop it."

Gasping Sami tried to pull her hand away only to rip Will's head backwards, "Sorry, sorry." Finally with EJ's help Sami extricated herself from Will and looked at him apologetically, "I didn't mean to do that."

Rubbing his hair Will laughed slightly, "I know. It's OK." 'Even if my head is killing me.'

EJ, shaking his head in amusement, 'Where would those two be without me?'

Chad, glad to see Will was alright and not too upset, cleared his throat, "Um, EJ, I need to talk to you."

Sonny, finally noticing Chad sent him a scathing look. 'He probably wants to talk about his plan for Will.'

"Can't it wait," EJ asked wanting to stay with William and Samantha for a while longer.

"No," Chad told him in a firm voice, "This is important." Chad tried to give EJ what he hoped was an imploring look without the others seeing.

"Fine," EJ said calmly not wanting to alarm anyone. Ruffling William's hair even worse than Samantha did EJ stated, "I'll be right back."

Paul, finally standing up winced at the sore feeling in his knees, 'Damn it's been a long time since I've been on those for an extended period of time.' Shaking his legs slightly Paul asked Will, "Are you ready to go home?"

"Yeah," Will licked his lips, "I think so." Standing up Will smiled at Paul slightly when he helped pull him up and immediately wrapped his arm around him.

Sonny, watching Chad and EJ walk outside the room, put his hand on Will's shoulders and kissed the back of his head, "I'll be right back."

Sami smiled slightly at Will and Paul as she stood up. 'At least Will's happy.'

Will, seeing Neil and Brian out of the corner of his eye, pulled away from Paul. "Hey," Will hugged Neil lightly.

"Hi," Neil answered patting Will's back. "You certainly like to keep my life interesting don't you?"

"I guess so," Will shrugged and gave him a half smile. "Thanks for letting me borrow your boyfriend. He's pretty useful. Definitely has a good bedside manner."

"I knew you loved me Blondie," Brian joked while wrapping his arms around Neil. "But I'm taken."

Paul, arms crossed and teeth grinding together, used all of his strength to not say anything.

Spotting Paul's potential meltdown Sami cleared her throat before introducing herself to Brian, "I'm Will's Mom. Thank you for being there for him today."

"Right, I'm Brian," he told her while shaking her hand. "And it's not a problem. Will's kind of important to us both."

"Is he," Sami asked quietly eyes narrowing as she recalled Brian's roll in all of this.

"Yeah," Will answered reaching his hand out for Paul, "They're my friends." Turning to Paul, leaning against his large bicep Will asked, "I'm really hungry. Can we get something on the way home?"

"Of course, baby, anything you want," Paul assured him while squeezing his fingers.

"Can Neil and Brian come too," Will smiled sweetly at Paul using his thumb to brush across his knuckles. "Please?"

"Will-" Paul started to say not wanting to spend any more time with them.

Sami, interjecting loudly, "Wow, what a great idea Will. Now you can spend all day with your friends and your boyfriends together. All the people who care about you and are going to watch out for you." The threatening glint in her eyes made the 'Or else,' she was thinking fairly obvious.


Chad, pacing up and down the small hallway, told EJ, voice dripping with anger, "She said she helped Ian. That's how he knew where Will was because Gabi told him."

EJ, snarling, face contorting in fury, "That bitch." He bent over slightly, leaning against the wall.

"What are we going to do," Chad asked quietly. "What do you need me to do?"

"I'll take care of it," EJ promised him. He knew from the quick and easy way Chad had dealt with Zach that he was more than willing to do what needed to be done. But EJ didn't want to turn his younger brother into someone like EJ. EJ had always wanted Chad and William to be kept away from the nastier aspects of his life. 'And now everything is merging together.'

"If she was helping him than do you think Father knows," Chad whispered moving closer to EJ.

EJ shook his head, "I don't know." Thinking about the inane plan Chad had come up with EJ looked up at the ceiling, "But I guess you'll have to find out, now won't you?"

Sonny, having been listening from the door, hurried over to them and crossed his arms, "I already told you Will is not going to be involved in this." 'Will is going to be so hurt when he finds out Gabi was involved.'

Chad, grinding his teeth together, "You aren't in charge of him."

Before Kiriakis had a chance to respond EJ stepped between him and Chad, "William is not going to be included in this. A few days a week he will come to work for me. Chad can stop by to visit. Father will be satisfied and no harm will come to William."

Sonny already had his reservations when it came to Will working for EJ. Looking up into EJ and Chad's faces Sonny shook his head, "That's not good enough."

"Well it's going to happen whether you like it or not," Chad informed Sonny nastily. "Especially now that we're closer to knowing the whole truth behind the Ian situation."

"Fine," Sonny spat out. 'I'll just find a way of my own to keep Will safe and away from whatever scheme you're planning.'

"Hey," Will asked walking out the door. "What are you three doing? I want to go."

Sonny shot EJ and Chad one more look before walking over to Will's side, "We're done here. Let's get you home."

"Do you think we should have a doctor look at your burn since we're here," Will asked as he laced his fingers with Sonny's.

"No," Sonny chuckled swinging their hands. "But thanks for asking."


"You go lie down on the couch," Sonny ordered as soon as they walked up the stairs.

Will sighed, "But I want to eat before I fall asleep." He threw himself on the couch anyway figuring it would be easier than fighting about it.

"When are Neil and Brian getting here," Paul asked Will as he hung up all of their jackets.

"As soon as they get the food," Will answered kicking off his shoes. Despite the terrifying start to his day Will couldn't help but smile. 'If my brain getting smashed results in everyone getting along I might have to get hurt more often.'

Walking into the kitchen and grabbing some drinks Sonny carried them over to the couch and sat down next to Will pulling his feet on Sonny's lap.

Taking the water from Sonny Will gulped it down not even realizing how thirsty he was. Blushing slightly at the looks Paul and Sonny were giving him Will shrugged, "Sorry."

"You don't have to say sorry for being thirsty," Paul blinked at Will a little oddly. 'We really need to break him of that habit: apologizing for everything.'

"OK," Will batted his lashes before reaching out to yank Paul onto the couch so he could cuddle against his lap. "How was your thing this morning? I wish I could have gone."

"It went pretty well," Paul admitted with a smile as he rubbed along Will's neck and ear. "I was a nervous wreck but I powered through."

"He was good," Sonny smiled. "You could only tell he was nervous because he was sweating."

"It was hot up there," Paul defended with a pout.

"No one else was sweating that much," Sonny pointed out with a laugh. "You were nervous and you know it."

Will observed the two of them with a wide smile on his face. He loved watching them talk and interact so teasingly.

"Oh," Paul said suddenly, barely remembering, "Um, I met this guy who works at the university. He wants to meet with me tomorrow about maybe helping out with the baseball team."

"That would be perfect for you," Sonny shot Paul a bright smile. Sitting quietly on the couch with his boyfriends Sonny could easily forget just how problematic their lives were. Looking at Paul and Will Sonny bit the inside of his cheek, 'And they don't even know about half of our problems.'


EJ kissed Samantha sweetly before walking into his office in the mansion. Smile falling from his face EJ turned towards his secret safe determined to find something of note on Tad's computer. 'Maybe there's something in there about Gabriella too.'

EJ knew what he had to do to deal with Gabriella Hernandez. He was prepared to do what he needed to. But he was still wary of the situation. 'Getting rid of someone like T was easy enough but Rafe would not rest until he figured out what had happened. This is going to be much more difficult.'

Opening the safe EJ paused in horror. Hands groping uselessly around the edges EJ collapsed in his desk chair when he realized it was empty.


Sonny opened the door as soon as he heard the knock, "Hey," he said. Ushering them inside Sonny motioned for them to be quiet.

"He didn't last long did he," Neil smiled slightly seeing Will asleep on Paul's lap, face pressed into his shirt.

"His doctor gave him some meds after the scan," Brian commented, setting the bags of food on the coffee table. "Not surprised as soon as he relaxed he crashed."

"Speaking of that," Paul licked his lips, cradling Wills head, "What was he like when you got there?" Paul hated the fact that Brian was there for Will when he couldn't be. 'Since when are they so close that Will would want him there at all?'

"Anxious," Brian said as he opened the bags and started passing out the food. "Doing that thing where he says really dumb things but sounds really cute so you can't be mad."

Paul shot Brian a look before taking his burger and unwrapping it with one hand. He wasn't entirely sure how he was going to eat without making a mess all over Will.

"That EJ guy calmed him down a bit," Brian explained sitting down next to Neil on the coffee table. "And speaking of him," Brian opened his own burger, "He's Will's father type person right?" Seeing everyone nod Brian continued, "So Will spends a lot of time with the guy. They obviously care about each other."

"And where is this going," Sonny asked getting the feeling he already knew.

"I'm just saying with a guy that looks and sounds like that I can see why he calls you Daddy," Brian smirked before taking a bite.

"Don't even go there," Paul warned him, wanting to smack that stupid look off his face, "Every time we try to talk to Will about it he gets pissed off. He's been pretty clear he's never liked EJ that way."

"He said he liked Chad that way though," Sonny admitted rolling his eyes just thinking about his idiotic business partner. 'What was he thinking trying to get Will mixed up in everything?'

"Really," Neil snorted trying not to laugh too loudly and wake Will. "Oh my god that's hilarious."

"Aw," Brian cooed, "That must really suck for you huh? Since Will only hangs out with guys he's attracted to. Must be really hard holding in all those jealous urges."

Paul, pursing his lips and glaring, "You're kind of a dick."

"I know," Brian answered, "And you're kind of a jealous asshole so maybe Will has a type."

"He didn't even want you," Sonny said snarkily, "He agreed to go out with you to get my mom to leave him alone. Plus I think if anyone is jealous it's probably you being jealous of Will."

"Dude," Neil interjected around a mouthful of food. 'What the fuck?'

Rolling his eyes Brian smiled, "Maybe I was before but I'm not anymore. Now I'm more concerned about my friend being taken care of the right way."

"You don't have to be worried about that," Sonny stated, "You don't need to be worried about Will at all."

"Well tough," Brian replied, "Because we are."

"Which reminds me," Neil butted in, not wanting anyone to start fighting but wanting to know, "How the hell did Will hit his head again?" He didn't want to think anything bad about Sonny or Paul but Neil wasn't certain if they would ever hurt Will or not.

Paul, bristling, "It was an accident. He fell over and hit his head. He started bleeding and we dealt with it."

Neil, feeling odd about that explanation, "How did he fall over?"

Sonny recognized that look in his eyes. The look of pure and total accusation. Twisting his face Sonny snarled, "We didn't hurt him you asshole. What is wrong with you? We love him we would never do that. Do you really think we'd be alive right now if EJ thought we ever laid a hand on him?"

"OK," Neil held his hands up slowly, "If you say so."

"I just think it's a little suspicious that after getting out of the hospital Will's head was split open and no one took him back to the hospital. And after witnessing how protective you all are about him, I don't know," Brian shrugged helplessly. 'Do not tell me these assholes seriously do that.'

Paul and Sonny shared a significant look. Neither wanted to tell Neil or Brian the truth, knowing how dangerous it was, but it might be the safer option in the end. At least then Will's friends wouldn't accuse them of abusing him.

Taking a deep breath, making sure Will was still asleep Paul said quietly, "A few days after he got out of the hospital we had another incident with Ian."

Neil, sitting up straighter, hand reaching for Brian's, said, "What happened?"

"He followed us to the Dimera Mansion," Sonny explained, shivering slightly remembering the whole night, "He had a gun and kept pointing it at Will's head. He wanted to take him away. He kept saying he was going to 'fix him.'"

"Then what happened," Brian squeezed Neil's hand carefully knowing how badly that Ian person affected Neil.

"Will distracted him," Paul supplied wanting to keep the details as minimum as possible. "Will fell down to the floor with Ian on top of him. That's how he hurt his head."

"And Ian," Neil whispered, heart beating rapidly, "What happened to him?"

"You don't need to worry about him anymore," Sonny assured him. "And that's all you need to know."

"Good," Brian decided. "It's better without him."

Neil nodded in agreement. Remembering something Neil asked, "Is that what EJ was doing at the dorms the other day?"

Sonny, paused while lifting his burger to his mouth, "What?"

"We saw him," Neil told them slowly, "And then a few days later that friend of Will's was dead. He told us he had been helping Ian."

"Oh my god," Paul exhaled. 'How did I not make that connection? Of course it had to be EJ. Oh my god.' "We can't tell Will."

"Why not," Brian questioned feeling uncomfortable with how easily Paul decided that.

"Because Will's under enough stress," Paul shot back. "And you know how he'll react if he finds out T died because of what he did to Will especially if it was EJ. No one outside of this room can know that. No one."

"We aren't going to tell anyone," Neil promised. He knew firsthand how violent EJ could become when provoked. 'And if that kid was threatening Will's life EJ would have no problem taking care of it.'

Sonny, silent and withdrawn, shifted uncomfortably, "Will can't know any of this. He wouldn't handle it well."

"I don't like this," Brian admitted.

"You don't have to," Paul informed him. "You just have to do it."

Brian exhaled and nodded before taking a bite. Chewing and swallowing carefully Brian asked, "So, does spanking Will count as laying a hand on him?" Smiling at the upset looks tossed his way Brian laughed, "I'm just saying."


Adrienne walked through the town square listlessly. Sonny wasn't at Common Grounds not that she expected him to be. 'Not with all the drama surrounding Will Horton's life.' Not paying attention where she was going Adrienne stumbled into someone.

"Sorry," Lucas said shaking himself. "Oh, Adrienne. I didn't see you there."

"No," Adrienne sighed, "I wasn't watching where I was going. Too much on my mind."

"I know how that goes," Lucas replied while shaking his head. Looking at Adrienne Lucas realized, "Wait, Sonny is your son."

"Well yeah," Adrienne answered giving Lucas a strange look, "You already knew that Lucas. You feeling OK? You look kind of sick."

"A lot on my mind, like you said," Lucas told her quickly. He still wasn't entirely sure what to do about Will but he knew he had to do something. Taking a deep breath Lucas told Adrienne, "I found out a few things about Will and I don't know what to do about it."

"About Will," Adrienne asked suspiciously, "Like what?"

"Apparently Sonny and Paul aren't the only guys he's been spending time with," Lucas stated while looking into her widening eyes.


Sami smiled as she watched Johnny, Allie and Sydney run around their backyard. She was sitting at the patio table doing some work on her laptop while keeping an eye on the kids. Sami was proud of the seminar her and Adrienne managed to pull off today. She was relieved that there wasn't anything seriously wrong with Will. 'The kids are all happy, EJ and I are doing well and everything is going right for once in my life.'

Clicking on her agenda Sami smiled widely when she saw the reminder on the calendar, 'I almost forgot Will's birthday is tomorrow.' Sitting back and relaxing Sami started wondering what she could plan on such short notice.

Paul, fingers mindlessly going through Will's hair, answered his phone quickly when he felt it buzzing, seeing it was Sami Paul rolled his eyes, "Hello?"

"I need you to distract Will all day tomorrow," Sami told him excitedly.

"Why," Paul questioned looking between Sonny, Brian and Neil. "What's tomorrow?"

"Seriously," Sami asked feeling smug that she knew why the day was important and Paul didn't. "It's his birthday! I want to make it special. So, can you do it or not?"

"Of course," Paul replied. After a few more seconds of listening to Sami ramble Paul finally got her off the phone. 'How did we not know it was his birthday?'

"What was that about," Sonny questioned while eating a few French fries.

"Sami," Paul cleared his throat, "I hope no one is busy tomorrow."


Author's note:

My date's/timing with the fic is kind of off but we'll just pretend it's on point for Will's birthday shall we.

Also I couldn't actually make Will's injury that serious. I'm not that mean.

Review and give me your opinion please.

Thanks for reading!

PS: It was really hard typing Brian and brain so many times closely together. Good thing for spell check.
