Whispering Winds: Chapter 3

Stefano DiMera hung up the phone and sat back into his oversized leather chair, his fingers moving reflectively into a temple under his chin as he regarded the information from the caller on the phone and waited for the visitor who had been announced just before phone call to be allowed in.

Reaching for the remote, he muted the song and refused to get up from his chair as Orpheus appeared.

“It’s been quite awhile.” Stefano spoke after he took a moment to enjoy his nearby glass of brandy. “I’d say I’ve missed you but can’t miss what you thought was dead.” “What can I say. For someone who was trained by you. He was a terrible shot.” Stefano was about to address that but was cut off by Orpheus. “But we both know the real reason why I’ve been hidden away all these years. Two reasons were rather well hidden by you and that ranting bag of rags that passed himself off as that rambling prophet of doom. The other well … you had to have a fall guy.” He leaned forward to examine the chess board and picked up the Queen before looking up at the older man. “You could have told them the truth … let them have the agony of learning you had won and that he could have had them back then, but he chose that Colville woman over them. But you kept your mouth shut, you let him have her instead. And he didn’t say a word either. He chose to die rather than tell them. What loyalty you inspire Stefano.” He threw the Queen into the fire before drawing his gun. “Tell me … do you even appreciate it?” *~*~*~*~* John turned his attention away from the glass in the room door and looked at Daniel. “Any word?”

“I’m afraid not. We’re still waiting for the results John.” Kayla cut in. “John, he’s always had heart issues that went way back since he was an infant. He could very well have been having trouble before he came home. I’m waiting for Shane to get me his last ISA sanctioned physical for additional information.” He turned back and watched Marlena, her head bowed in prayer as she held her boy’s hand in her own. *~*~*~*~* “Do I appreciate it?” Stefano replied with a chuckle and a shake of his head, more in that moment looking every inch of a demented Santa. “Why would I appreciate it when it’s either give it or I’ll destroy you?” “She’s never given it. Neither has John and yet here they both still stand.” Orpheus replied. “Tell me … is it because of those little dividends you hold that they’ve never paid for their crimes?” Stefano didn’t answer. “Do they know?” Orpheus raised his voice. “Does he know that not a drop of DiMera blood courses through his veins or that precious little creature that you call your grandson’s veins. How much did you have to pay them to say Thomas was a DiMera?” He fired into the wainscoting. “Answer me.” “Or what, you’ll keep me from them?” Stefano growled. “I’m not Marlena and this is not then. I can have you erased without a thought. Or perhaps I’ll give them the ammo to kill you. John has motive more than me.” “Oh really and what would that be?”

Did you really not think I’d hear about your little move in Europe?” Stefano chuckled, waving away the guard who came at the sound of the gunshot. “Eric Brady is in ICU and they think he just may not last the night.” Before the other man could continue, Stefano smiled. “The last time Marlena thought that someone had taken one person she loved away, she injected him with a toxic combination of drugs that left him a living corpse for all intents and purposes.” He smiled. “How did that work out for you? Any lingering side effects?” *~*~*~*~* “Baby, lets go for a walk. I’ll buy you a coffee and some fresh air.” He leaned down to kiss the top of her hair, but she shook her head. “What if he wakes up and we’re not here?” Roman spoke from his spot by the window. “I have my cell, I’ll text you the moment he does.” John rubbed her shoulders and kept his eyes on her. “This reminds me of a lifetime ago. A tow headed stubborn pain in my side comatose and refusing to wake up. Every night I’d sit by her bedside and tell her of what she missed and that I loved her.” Marlena blushed and John continued. “Every day I would do the same until it actually took Abraham to tell me that she wouldn’t want that for me. That she knew me better than anyone and knew she would want me to live my life and make her proud of me.”

“And what happened?” Roman asked. John straightened and pointed at the person in the chair, who shook her head. “She woke up after I was very tired and frustrated and let her have it with both barrels.” He smiled. “Long story short. Eric’s part her. He’ll fight with all he has and then some. But we can’t sit here 24-7 and get sick ourselves. We can pace each other if we have to.” *~*~*~*~* “Here’s the deal, you’re going to help me bring down Salem once and for all. You’re going to help me end John, Marlena and the rest of the sanctimonious do gooders.” “Or what?” “I tell them what you helped me do to her.” Stefano grinned. “They know I’ve never laid a hand on her. The same alas cannot be said for either of you. He’s dead, can’t defend himself against the accusations and John can’t fight a ghost. But you … as I said … I can tell them what you’ve done and maybe get a little breathing space off of me from them.”

~*~*~*~*~ Abby was swaying side to side with a drowsy Thomas as she kept one eye on her husband. “The plane is on time. Relax will you, it’s not like she’s never seen your ugly mug before.” “That’s not what you called it last night.” Chad replied and checked his watch once more. “However it is the first time she’ll have met her sister in law and her new nephew.” “So apparently then face time will not have counted.” The voice behind him made Abby grin and Chad’s blue eyes grow huge. “You’re finally here!” He turned and engulfed her in a hug, nearly knocking off the glasses from her face. “Okay .. can’t breathe .. let go.” Chad burst out laughing. “Not on your life. It’s not every day that I get to introduce my twin to her nephew …” “And wife, yes I heard.” She slipped the glasses off and smiled. “Hi I’m Evan, it’s finally nice to meet you.” Abby grinned right back. “He really has no idea does he?” As they walked out, Evan admiring her nephew, the girls burst out laughing at Chad trying to keep up.

From the Ashes

anonymous asked: WilSon fic where Will is alive, and knows how everyone reacted when he died. Will sees Paul/Sonny in a relationship, gets confirmation that he was right, leading him to feeling even more insecure. He shuts himself off from everyone, and either moves in the dimera mansion with Chad, or own apartment, and will only see Ari. It will end with Sonny and Will talking and Sonny confirming that he came back to Salem for him, and they get back together. Will/Sonny/Paul are all on good terms.

A lot had changed in the two years that he had been dead. His cousin Abby had faked her death; Hope had murdered Stefano, only for them to find him alive in Prague; his uncle Eric had drunkenly killed Daniel Jonas in a car accident and gone to prison and been subsequently pardoned and released; his father Lucas and his mother-in-law Adrienne were engaged (that was the shock of a lifetime); and that was only a few of the crazy things that had happened while he was gone.

Most importantly, though, Sonny had returned to Salem from Paris, a year after he had walked out on Will and their marriage. Sonny was now CEO of Titan Industries also dating Paul.

Will was sitting on the couch in Horton Town Square reading a book, a week after his somewhat shocking and unexpected return to the living and to Salem. He hadn’t seen Sonny yet, didn’t even know if Sonny had been aware of Sami and Lucas’s plot to bring him back to life; if he was being honest with himself, he was a little terrified to see Sonny again. He’d been warned by Lucas that Sonny and Paul were together, but it didn’t really register with him until he glimpsed them walking into the Square hand-in-hand.

Will swallowed thickly at the confirmation. Heart thumping painfully in his chest, all Will could do was stare. From what he had gathered from Lucas and Adrienne, Sonny and Paul had started dating around New Year’s, ten months ago. That would have been not even a year and half since his own death. He didn’t begrudge Sonny moving on and loving again - he thought he was dead, after all - but seeing Sonny with Paul so openly left him feeling justified in his actions those last few months. Will knew Sonny had always harbored a burning torch for Paul and he had refused to be with him out of an obligation to Will and Ari; all it took was an appropriate amount of time of grieving before he felt comfortable giving in to those feelings.

A loud shout of “Sonny!” pulled Will from his thoughts. It had come from Paul who had caught Sonny before he collapsed to the ground. Sonny had spotted him sitting on the couch and nearly fainted.

Taking a deep breath, Will made his way across the Square to where Sonny and Paul were standing.

“Will?” Sonny croaked.

“Uh, yeah. I guess your mom didn’t warn you. Can we go somewhere to talk?”

“I’m gonna go,” Paul said.

“No,” Will said firmly. “It’s okay. You can come too. Better to explain it all once anyway.”

“I have a room at the Martin House,” Paul offered. “We won’t be interrupted.”

Will nodded, and followed Sonny and Paul to the B&B.

When they were all settled in Paul’s room, Sonny with a bottle of water to calm his still shaking hands, Will filled them in.

“So from what I know about what went on, my parents were tired of having a dead son. So they heard about this doctor in Tennessee who could bring people back to life. When they tracked him down, it turned out he was Dr. Rolf, who used to work for Stefano and had done some crap to John and Grandpa Roman and stuff. Anyway, they were there and they asked him if they could resurrect me. And he did,” Will finished rather lamely. “I don’t really have much more to say about it. That’s the story I got.” Will shrugged.

No spoke for a minute or two. Then Paul said, “So you’re here now.”

Will nodded.

“And you remember everything?”

Will eyes drifted to Sonny, who still hadn’t said anything, “Yeah. I remember everything. I don’t appear to have any lasting effects from having been dead for two years.” He chuckled. “I’ve just got a lot of town gossip to catch up on.”

Paul’s lips twitched up into a tiny smile just as his phone buzzed. “Damn. It’s Steve. I have to go. Will you be alright, Sonny?” Sonny nodded, his eyes wide. “Don’t be a stranger, Will.” He grabbed his jacket off the bed and left Will and Sonny alone.

With Paul gone, the air in the room became stifling. After a beat, Will said quietly, “Are you okay, Sonny? You haven’t said anything.”

“You’re alive.”

“And you’re with Paul. So I was right.”

“What?”

Will sighed and ran his hand over his face. “About you being with me only because Paul had said no to you. I’m sorry you felt like our marriage was an obligation you couldn’t get out of. You should have just told me you wanted to be with Paul. It would have made things a lot easier.”

Without giving Sonny a chance to respond, Will left.

Chad (and Gabi, who was apparently still living with Chad even after Abby and Dario’s plot with regards to her blew up in his face) had graciously allowed him to crash at the Mansion. He’d been away from Arianna Grace for so long, that he could barely stand to leave when she was there.

Following his encounter with Sonny and Paul, Will holed himself up in the DiMera Mansion, seeing no one but Lucas and Marlena (and Kate who was also living in the Mansion as Mrs. Andre DiMera). Adjusting to life back in Salem had not been as difficult as he had imagined. The town was essentially the same as when he had died. What he was struggling with was his feelings about Sonny.

He had died still in love with Sonny and with a stupid fantasy that maybe Sonny would come back to him one day. But he had known even then that that he’d been foolish to believe Sonny wanted to be with him when he could be with Paul. Sonny and Paul’s current relationship was proof of that. In all honesty, he didn’t think he’d ever be good enough for anyone’s love. He had Sami to thank for that.

Sonny had moved on, and now it was his turn to do the same. He would try to find someone who was maybe just as messed up as he was. Maybe then he could have a lasting relationship.

About a month after the talk at the Martin House, Will was sitting in the DiMera’s garden enjoying the last remnants of fall before it turned into winter when Harold announced that Sonny was at the front door.

“He’s looking for me?” Will asked.

“Yes, sir.”

Blinking, confused, Will followed Harold into the house. “Sonny?”

“Hi. Can we talk?” Sonny asked.

“Okay.” Will led him into the living room and sat stiffly on the blue couch.

“I haven’t seen you around,” Sonny said.

“Yeah. I’ve kind of holed up here with Ari.”

“Are you really okay? You’re not like a zombie or a vampire or something?”

Will actually laughed. “No. I’m fine. I still have some nightmares sometimes,” Will admitted. “But other than that, I’m okay.”

“I’m sorry, Will.”

“For what?”

“For everything in those last few months. I was pretty terrible to you.”

Caught off guard, Will said, “I deserved it.”

“No. No, you didn’t. I could have handled it better.”

“But you couldn’t deal with your feelings for Paul, I get it, Sonny. You never really loved me.”

“Why do you keep saying that?” Sonny shook his head a little as he spoke.

“Because it’s true.”

Sonny frowned. “I was destroyed when you died. I cried non-stop for a week. I was literally about to make a flight back to Salem when Uncle Vic called me to tell me what happened.”

“You were coming back?” Will asked, shocked.

Sonny took a deep breath and sighed. He looked away when he said, “I was coming home to tell you I loved you.”

Will’s heart jumped into his throat.

“I buried a piece of my soul when I buried you,” Sonny said shakily, turning his gaze back on Will. “You funeral was the worst day of my life. So don’t you dare tell me I never loved you.”

“But you’re with Paul now,” Will said slowly.

“I know.”

“And you love him.”

“I know.”

“So where does that leave us?”

“I don’t know.”

Will lay awake for a long time after Sonny’s visit and confession. In fact, he didn’t get much sleep at all over the next couple of weeks. His mind was plagued with thoughts of Sonny and the last eight months of their marriage, and the what ifs: if he had not been in Ben and Abby’s apartment that day; if he had left a half hour or ten minutes earlier; if Sonny had caught an earlier flight back to Salem.

Could they have fixed their marriage? Would Sonny have been better able to deal with his feelings for Paul? Would he himself have been better able to deal with his insecurities? Or would Sonny have continued to drift towards Paul? Would Sonny have ended up sleeping with Paul too?

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months, and Will and Sonny had not broached the subject of their relationship again since that day in the DiMera Mansion. Will no longer secluded himself in the Mansion, however, and the three of them had bumped into each other around town, sometimes Sonny and Paul together, sometimes individually. They were always civil to each other but they never passed beyond pleasantries; if Paul knew about the conversation between Sonny and Will, he gave no indication.

On Christmas Eve, Will intentionally sought out Sonny for the first time since being back. He found him at the Kiriakis Mansion.

Shaking away memories of their wedding, Will announced himself. “Hey.”

“Will! Hi.” Sonny smiled at him. “What brings you here?”

“I was wondering if you had plans for tomorrow.”

“I think we might be having dinner here but that’s it. Why?”

“I thought you might like to come to the Horton tree trimming. See Ari put her ornament on the tree. And maybe hang yours,” Will added tentatively.

“Oh. I, uh, yeah, I’d like that.”

Will frowned for a second at Sonny seeming to be flustered but said, “You can bring Paul. Aunt Jen said it’s okay.”

“Oh. Okay. Thanks.”

“Great. I’ll see you tomorrow then.” He left.

Christmas at the Horton House was the same as it had been for as long as Will could remember participating. Aunt Jen had made Gran’s famous cookies and doughnuts and Abigail had made eggnog. There were a few new additions since the last time Will had been there: Thomas, of course; Eli Grant, Julie’s grandson; Valerie, his mother and Abe’s girlfriend; Gabi had brought Chad, who was also there as Thomas’ father; Lani Carver, JJ’s girlfriend and Abe’s daughter; and John and Marlena had been invited to be with Paul, Will, and Eric who was dating Jennifer.

It was a little bittersweet hanging his ornament next to Sonny’s when they weren’t together anymore, but he nearly cried when Arianna Grace tenderly placed her ornament on a low-hanging branch. She’d grown up so much in the two years he’d been dead, and he wondered if this was how Lucas had felt when he’d first found out he was his son. He’d have to remember to ask how Lucas has coped with knowing he’d missed out on two years of his child’s life through no fault of his own.

Throughout the day, Will caught glimpses of Sonny and Paul talking quietly with each other and generally seeming to really be in love. His heart ached, but the ache was softened by the knowledge that even though Sonny had loved him, he had always loved Paul more. In a way, it made it easier for him to try to stop loving Sonny.

Towards the end of the evening, Will found himself alone with Paul in the kitchen cleaning up. Will’s eyes searched Paul; he looked the same as before, if maybe a bit more confident in himself. It was that confidence that Will had found so attractive so long ago in that hotel room. Will felt its pull even now.

“Thank you for taking care of Sonny,” Will said, as he dumped dishes into the sink.

“What?” Paul paused in his cleaning of the dishes in the sink to look at Will.

“While I was...away. Thank you for taking care of him.”

“I love him.”

Will knew it wasn’t meant to hurt him - he didn’t think Paul had a mean bone is his body - but it stung anyway. “I know. He deserves someone like you to love him.”

Paul blinked at him and his brow furrowed. “Will?”

Will looked away, blinked away tears that were suddenly burning his eyes. “I knew I was never good enough for Sonny. I almost - I did - chicken out of our first date because of it. We wouldn’t have gotten together if Sonny hadn’t tracked me down and insisted.”

“I didn’t know that,” Paul said quietly. Then, “He can be very persuasive,” Paul said with a grin.

Will smiled at that. “Yeah. He can be when he wants.”

“Anyway, I wanted to apologize for the way I behaved to you after...” Will trailed off, the implication clear. “None of it was your fault. Of all of us, you were the innocent party.”

“I maybe could have backed off Sonny a bit,” Paul conceded. After a beat, Paul said, “He really loved you, Will. I saw him when he came back for your funeral. It really cut him up.”

“Thanks,” Will said. He leaned his back against the cabinets as Paul finished cleaning the last of the dishes. “Promise me you won’t screw it up like I did? You got a second chance. I know from experience how rare that is.”

Paul dried his hands on a dishtowel before answering. “I promise.”

Will nodded. “I should get back to Ari. It’s getting late. See you around?”

“Yeah.”

Will gave Paul another little awkward nod of his head and went off to find his daughter.

January and February passed uneventfully for Will. He remained living in the DiMera Mansion, mostly because he wanted to be where Arianna was and because he didn’t have enough of his own money yet to get his own place. Lucas had graciously offered him the second bedroom in his apartment but he felt less like an intruder in the Mansion than with Lucas and Adrienne who were preparing for their Valentine’s Day wedding.

Chad had offered Will a spot on the Sonixx staff but Will declined, having gotten into so much trouble there the first time. Instead, he asked Jennifer and Adrienne if there was a spot for him at the Spectator. He didn’t want any favors, but they wouldn’t hear of his concerns and promptly made him a section editor. (The staff was running low anyway).

Grateful, and feeling like a real reporter, Will buried himself in his work. He spent time catching up with Gabi, Chad, and Abby (separately, of course), when he wasn’t working or playing with Ari, and he even volunteered for Eric at the Horton Center on the weekends sometimes. Overall, he was adjusting quite nicely to life back in Salem. It almost felt like he had never left.

Once a week, Sonny had dinner at the Mansion with him, Gabi, Chad, Thomas, and Arianna. It was strange in the beginning, their attempts to fall back into the tri-parenting routine they had had so briefly before Gabi had gone to prison. It was like riding a bicycle, though, and Gabi seemed grateful that she now had another built-in babysitter. Will never passed up an opportunity to take Ari off of Gabi’s hands. Sometimes Sonny even joined them, and Paul.

It crossed his mind occasionally that maybe he should hit The Spot, have some fun with people outside his family, but the idea of picking up guys still didn’t feel right. His love for Sonny still burned in him, and after the fiasco with Paul, it would feel too much like infidelity.

The day before their parents’ wedding, Sonny caught Will leaving the Spectator office.

“What’s up?” Will asked, falling into step beside Sonny as they headed to the Square.

“All ready for the wedding?”

“I still can’t believe we’re going to be stepbrothers,” Will chuckled. “My parents were stepsiblings for like a split second when Grandma Kate and Grandpa Roman married. They never talked about it.”

Sonny grinned. “Are you...are you bringing anyone?” Sonny fished.

Will looked at him curiously. “Does Arianna count?”

Sonny smiled wider. “No!” Sonny laughed.

“Why? You’re going with Paul, right?”

Sonny’s smile faded slightly. “He’s actually away on a mission with John. Steve came back for the wedding, but Paul stayed.”

Will stopped walking and grabbed Sonny’s arm. “Is everything okay between you guys?”

“Yeah. Yeah. Why would you ask that?” Sonny asked, not looking at Will.

“I don’t know,” Will said, as they started walking again. “He hasn’t been with you the last couple times you visited with Ari and now he’s missing your mom’s wedding.”

“Life with a private detective.” Sonny smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes.

Will let the subject drop.

Lucas and Adrienne’s wedding went off better than the last one had. Justin did not interrupt and Adrienne didn’t faint. Surprisingly, Kate made no effort to derail the ceremony, and she was uncharacteristically calm at the reception.

The ceremony was a small affair at Chez Rouge, Maggie having gone full out for her nephew. The place looked incredible and the food was delicious.

“Dance with me?” Sonny asked, holding his hand out to Will as a slow dance started to play.

It was getting late and Gabi and Chad had already taken Arianna and Thomas home.

Will blinked up at his former husband. “Okay.”

Will followed Sonny onto the dance floor. Heart thumping wildly in his chest, Will wrapped his arms around Sonny’s neck while Sonny gripped him tight around the waist. It was an old pose between them, borne out of lazy nights in their apartment, music tinkling softly out of the radio, Ari asleep in the other room. Will swallowed his heart and didn’t dare pull his arms any tighter for fear of getting to close to Sonny.

They swayed silently to the music for a minute or two. Then Sonny said, “How’s work at the paper?”

“It’s been great. I’m not destroying any lives so I’m already off to a good start.”

Sonny grinned. “Are you...are you seeing anyone?”

Will cocked his head in curiosity. “That’s the second time you’ve asked me that in twenty-four hours. Are you sure everything is okay between you and Paul?”

Sonny didn’t answer right away. The song changed over to a slightly faster one, but Will and Sonny remained swaying where they stood. Eventually, Sonny answered, “We’ve just been fighting a lot recently. That’s all. Nothing major.”

Will searched Sonny’s eyes. He knew Sonny still wasn’t being completely honest with him. “You know you can talk to me, right? I mean, we used to be best friends. Talk about anything. We’re still those people, Sonny. At least I hope we are.”

This time, Sonny didn’t respond at all. Instead, he leaned forward and brushed his lips against Will’s. It was an echo of the kiss Sonny had given him all those years ago in the alcove off Horton Town Square, the kiss that had sent him spiraling into Gabi’s bed.

“I can’t,” Will whispered, breaking the kiss but leaning his forehead against Sonny’s. “We broke because I cheated on you. I won’t do that to you and Paul too.”

Will dropped his arms from Sonny’s neck and pulled away completely. “You need to figure what - who - you want. You have for awhile now, I think you know that. And if it’s me you still want, you know where to find me.”

Will bowed his head, as he always did when it was too difficult to look at Sonny, sighed, and walked away.

Will didn’t see much of Sonny following their parents’ wedding; they hardly ever bumped into each in town anymore. Will had a sneaking suspicion that, apart from their weekly dinners with Ari, Sonny was avoiding him.

Will ran into Paul at John and Marlena’s loft around the middle of March. Will arrived to visit Marlena, as Paul was getting ready to leave with John to go to the Black Patch office.

“Oh, hey,” Will greeted when Paul opened the door.

“Will, hi.” Will didn’t miss the way Paul’s smile faltered for a second. “You here to see Marlena?”

“Yeah. Is she here?”

Paul nodded and stepped out of the doorway to let Will into the apartment.

“Everything go okay with your mission?” Will asked.

“What?”

“Sonny had said you were on a mission with John. That’s why you weren’t at the wedding.”

“Oh, yeah. Everything went great.” Paul smiled but Will could tell it wasn’t sincere.

Will’s brow furrowed. “Everything okay? You don’t seem like yourself.” It was so unlike Paul to be anything other than sincere and chipper. In all of the time that Will had known him - before, in the hotel room, in the time since he’d been back - Paul had always been kind and true.

Paul blinked at him and frowned. “I probably shouldn’t be saying this but Sonny still loves you and wants to be with you. I don’t think he realizes it yet.”

Will’s lips twitched into a tiny smile. “That’s a thing he does. He loves someone he won’t admit to loving and pretends he doesn’t realize it yet.”

Paul smiled sadly. “He’s been pulling away from me. It’s why we’ve been fighting so much. He won’t talk to me.”

Will smiled wryly. “How did we end up here? With me and you reversed?”

“You died,” Paul said, and they both laughed.

Before either of them could say anything more, John and Marlena emerged from the kitchen. Paul waved goodbye and followed his father out of the loft.

“Will? Is everything okay?” Marlena asked.

“I think it will be.”

As the first week of April dawned bright through the curtains in Will’s new apartment near the DiMera Mansion (he had finally gathered enough money to put a deposit down on a place without help from Lucas), Will did his very best not think about the fact that his and Sonny’s anniversary was in a few days. It was the first anniversary he was spending separated from Sonny.

He occupied himself with extra shifts of work at the Spectator and extra dad duty with Arianna. For the most part, he succeeded in passing the first couple of days without remembering his wedding.

But on the morning of April 3rd, he woke with a heavy weight in his chest and a knot in his stomach. Sighing and running his hand over his face, Will forced himself to get out of bed. It was only 6:30 in the morning. He wasn’t expected at the paper for over an hour, but going in early would take his mind off being without Sonny.

He showered, washed, and dressed quickly, and left his apartment, too anxious to eat. Ten minutes later, he was unlocking the Spectator office.

He’d been focused on an article he was writing for a half and hour when there was a knock on the door. Frowning in confusion - Jennifer and Adrienne were the only ones who came in early and they both had keys - Will cautiously made his way to the front door.

Sonny was standing outside. He smiled and waved when Will approached.

“Sonny?” Will asked, surprised, when he opened the door.

“Can I come in?”

Will hurried to let him inside.

“Are you alone?”

“Yeah.”

The words was barely out of his mouth before Sonny had stepped into his personal space and pulled him into a hard kiss. Will gasped against Sonny’s mouth, instinctively grabbing Sonny’s waist and pulling him closer. Sonny went willingly, his fingers finding their way into Will’s hair.

It was a long time before they broke apart.

“I broke up with Paul,” Sonny said when he’d caught his breath. “I love you.”

“So what does this mean?” Will asked.

Vaguely, he thought his (their) aunt and stepmother (Sonny’s mother) would be arriving at work soon, and they should move out of the doorway to one of the back rooms, but Will couldn’t find it in him to care, not when Sonny was in his arms again after so long.

“I want to be with you.”

“What about everything that happened?” Will searched Sonny’s eyes. “Me cheating on you hasn’t gone away.”

“I reacted badly. I’m sorry. You were right about me not dealing well with my unresolved feelings for Paul.”

“And now? You’ve been in a relationship with him for over a year.”

Sonny pulled away and sat down on the couch that was in front of the window by the door. Will sat down next to him,

“I’ll always love Paul. He was my first love,” Sonny admitted. “And I definitely had to resolve the feelings I left in San Francisco when I left him. But - I loved you so much, Will, that a part of me died when you did, and I changed. I...hardened. Paul noticed. My dad noticed. I think Uncle Vic even noticed. I’d felt the change in me for awhile but I didn’t realize how much different I was until I was sitting in a jail cell waiting to be charged with my uncle’s murder. I guess after your funeral, I didn’t really want to be me anymore, so I turned myself into something completely different. I’ve tried the last few months to get myself back to that place before I lost you, but I haven’t quite managed to get there yet.”

Sonny laced their fingers together where they rested on top of Will’s knee.

“I haven’t been right since I went back to Paris after your funeral. I’ve been carrying around the pain of your death for so long. It’s affected every aspect of my life. I haven’t been fully committed to Paul since we got back together. Paul knows it. He wasn’t surprised when I told him I still love you, that I want to be with you.”

“I know. He told me a few weeks ago he knew.”

Sonny gaped at him and then had the grace to look ashamed.

“Can I ask you something?” Will asked.

“Yeah, of course.”

“What happens now?”

“I don’t think we should get remarried right away,” Sonny said almost immediately. “I think we should date again. Start over. Abby and Chad jumped back into their marriage when she came back and, well, you know how well that worked out.”

“Okay. Good. I was going to say the same thing,” Will said with a soft smile.

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

“No. I wasn’t very hungry this morning.” Will didn’t elaborate as to why.

“Well, it doesn’t look like there’s anything going on here yet. So, you want to head to the Square to get something to eat?”

“Is this our first date?” Will smirked.

“Maybe,” Sonny teased, standing up and holding out his hand for Will.

Will’s lips stretched into a smile, as he slid his hand into Sonny’s. He locked the door behind them and let Sonny lead him away from the office.

“Hey, Will.”

“Yeah?”

“Happy anniversary.”

It was strange to be dating his husband. To be fair, their marriage had been invalidated by his death, but in his heart Sonny would always be his husband. They continued their weekly dinners with Chad, Gabi, Thomas, and Arianna Grace, but in between they found themselves going to movies, going to The Spot, and hanging out on a regular basis.

It was an echo of the last time they were boyfriends, except neither of them had illusions of perfection anymore and neither lost sight of the fact that forever might not be attainable. They also learned to carefully and painstakingly re-build a relationship founded on trust and honesty. They told each other everything, even painful things, even when they knew it would brew into a fight.

The morning after Sonny’s visit to the Spectator Will had asked Marlena for a recommendation for a marriage counselor or couples’ therapist. Things were good between them but Will wanted the number so they could forestall any issues that might blow up into something big.

He also began talking to Marlena regularly, and steering clear of asking Kate for any personal advice. Marlena had been his saving grace during his coming out and Kate had been his downfall in keeping the Paul fiasco from Sonny. Marlena never complained about being Will’s personal therapist; she was simply too overjoyed to have her favorite grandson back to care that he had essentially become her patient.

In deference to Will and their new relationship, Sonny eased off things at Titan. He remained CEO of the conglomerate but he dragged Philip out of hiding to be his second-in-command and he gave Brady the responsibility of handling international affairs. After the shock of being arrested for Deimos’s murder, Sonny had already begun to question his decision to be involved so heavily with the company; the reestablishment of his relationship with Will only solidified the matter.

* * * * * * * *

Falling back into their relationship had been relatively easy, picking up each other’s habits again like riding a bicycle. Despite a desire on both their parts to not rush into things, they found themselves reigniting their sex life rather quickly. A simple touch of the hands lit their skin on fire, or a soft, chaste kiss turned heated hastily. They relearned and reclaimed each other’s bodies, even as they discovered new ways to push each other to their limits, drive them over the edge of pleasure-pain.

Will found himself happy in all aspects of his life: he was alive, he had his daughter with him regularly, he had a good, secure reporting job with a reputable newspaper, and he could freely give his heart to Sonny again.

Sonny, too, found himself happier than he had been in three and half years, if he was being honest. Will was alive, he was succeeding in overseeing Titan Industries, he no longer feared his lingering feelings for Paul, he had his daughter as regularly as Will did, and he could feel himself becoming once again the person he had been before Will had died, before Will had cheated, before Will had left for Los Angeles so long ago.

They were both in good places individually, and it made their relationship easier, less pressured.

Will and Sonny didn’t interact with Paul too much until a month after they started seeing each other again. Rafe and Gabi were hosting Arianna’s fifth birthday party at TBD, and Paul had been invited.

“Are you nervous to see him?” Will asked, fixing Sonny’s tie.

“A little.” A shadow crossed Sonny’s face. “I just...I feel like I should have treated him better.”

Will looked at Sonny curiously.

“With the whole Titan thing. I was pretty wrapped up in Deimos and Titan for most of the time we were together. I was kind of one-track minded.”

Will’s face softened. “He’s always loved you, Sonny. He was probably just glad to have the chance to be with you again.” It didn’t hurt Will to admit it, not the way it would have once.

Before Sonny could respond, Ari pulled their attention away by attacking Will’s legs. Will grinned and picked her up. She was almost getting too old and heavy to be carried, but he still couldn’t quite stop holding his daughter.

Just then, John and Marlena walked into the club, Paul right behind them. Will felt Sonny tense beside him as Paul made a beeline for them.

“Hey,” Paul said. He didn’t seem any worse for wear for the break up with Sonny. In fact, he seemed like his usual chipper self.

“Hi,” Will said.

“Hi,” Sonny said softly.

“How’ve you guys been?” Paul asked.

“How are you?” Sonny asked, deflecting Paul’s question.

Paul’s eyes flickered between Will and Sonny for a brief second. Then he said, “I’m okay. Working a lot with my dad and Steve.” His smile didn’t appear to be anything but sincere.

There was a crash in the kitchen. “Excuse me,” Sonny said and left Will and Paul alone.

They stood in silence for a minute. Will broke first. “How are you really doing, Paul?”

Paul’s smile faltered. “I won’t lie and say I’m not hurting. But if I’m being honest with myself, I knew from the moment Sonny told me he was married that I’d never get him back.”

“But you did.”

Paul huffed out a laugh. “Not really. You were always a cloud hanging over us.”

“I’m sorry,” Will said kindly.

Paul waved him off. “I can’t blame Sonny for falling in love with someone else. It’s my own fault. And I can’t blame you for being the one Sonny fell in love with.”

Will was silent, overwhelmed by Paul’s generosity. He knew he couldn’t have been so kind if the roles were reversed, as much as he had stayed away from Sonny in the time since he had been back.

Swallowing the lump in his throat, Will asked, “So what are you going to do now?”

“Work. Maybe coach a little league team this summer. Thought I might hit up The Spot. I think it’s time I tried to move on.”

“Paul...”

Paul cleared his throat to forestall whatever it was Will was going to say. “I, uh, I think I’m going to go find my dad.”

With a tight smile, Paul walked away just as Sonny appeared beside Will.

“Everything okay?”

“I hope so,” Will answered, his eyes on Paul’s back. “We should probably bring out the cake. Ari’s getting antsy.”

Sonny agreed with a grin.

A week into June, Will said rather randomly, “I think we should set Paul up on a date.”

Sonny’s hand stalled where he was stirring pasta in a pot on the stove. “You what?”

“I think we should set Paul up on a date,” Will said again, coming to stand next to Sonny in the kitchen.

(After Ari’s birthday party, when they had been standing outside Will’s apartment kissing lazily, Will asked, “Move in with me?” It hadn’t been planned, like Sonny had once planned it, with a key wrapped in a box, but it felt right.

Sonny’s face lit up. He nodded and crashed their lips together. Will laughed into the kiss and somehow managed to unlock the door and fumble them both inside.)

“Why?”

Will made a face and sighed with mock annoyance. “Because he’s lonely and nursing a broken heart? And I feel bad for being the cause of it?”

“I don’t think we should get involved,” Sonny said, not looking at Will.

Will frowned for real. “Are you getting jealous on me?”

“No. I’m not,” Sonny insisted. “I just don’t think Paul would appreciate it.” He dumped the finished pasta into a colander to drain the steaming water.

“I do,” Will responded, handing Sonny their bowls. “Paul’s famous and it can be hard for famous people to know who’s after their fame or them as a person.”

Sonny huffed. “Who would we even set him up with? Neil and Brian aren’t in town anymore. And all of my old friends have boyfriends.”

“I was thinking about Derek,” Will suggested, following Sonny to the table. “They dated a little bit. They seemed to like each other. They just never really got a chance to try things for real.”

“Because I was hanging around Paul like a puppy, right? That’s what you’re implying.” Sonny was smiling, so Will knew he wasn’t offended.

“You said it, not me,” Will said, grinning back around a mouthful of pasta.

“Okay. You win. We’ll set Paul and Derek up on a date.”

Will’s eyes twinkled with glee and Sonny’s heart swelled.

Since their anniversary, Will and Sonny found themselves often at The Spot on Friday nights. Gabi and Chad had agreed that they would watch Ari and Will and Sonny would take her on Saturday, to allow Chad and Gabi their date night.

During those Fridays, Will had seen Derek at the club almost every week, so it was a safe bet that he would be there that night.

“Do you see him?” Will said loudly into Sonny’s ear so he could be heard over the music.

Sonny shook his head. “I still don’t know how you convinced Paul to come out with us,” Sonny said.

Will grinned sheepishly. “Don’t hate me. But I kind of roped Grandma Marlena into convincing Paul it might do him some good to get out. He said he might come here when I spoke to him at Ari’s party but we’ve never seen him here so I thought he might not have followed through.”

“You’re evil, Will Horton.”

Will shrugged.

Sure enough, they spotted Paul walking into the club. He saw them first and made a beeline for them.

“Hey,” Will said, forestalling any awkwardness.

The three of them hadn’t seen each other too much since Arianna’s birthday party. Will thought he looked a little paler than usual, but it could have been the flashing lights of the club.

“How are you?” Sonny asked.

Paul put on a smile that seemed genuine, and said, “Working a lot. Keeping myself busy. I’m starting a little league coaching job next week.”

“Paul, I -” Sonny started but Paul cut him off.

“Don’t, Sonny. It’s okay. I’m fine. Really.”

The three of them stood in a thick silence despite the music for a minute. Then Sonny said, “Hey, isn’t that that bellhop from the Inn?” Sonny pointed to a place across the dance floor.

“Oh, yeah. It is,” Paul said, following Sonny’s gaze. “Derek.”

“You liked him when you dated, didn’t you?” Will asked.

Paul turned his attention back to Will. “Yeah, I did.” Paul’s face split into a real smile, seemingly almost involuntarily.

“Go talk to him,” Sonny encouraged. “If he’s here, he probably doesn’t have a boyfriend,”

“You’re here,” Paul pointed out.

“We’re here together,” Sonny countered. “It looks like he’s alone. What harm is there in trying?”

Paul studied Will and Sonny. They had such earnest and friendly looks on their faces that Paul gave in. “Alright, alright. I’ll go talk to him,” Paul mumbled and walked away.

“I saw Paul this morning,” Sonny said, his fingers running lazily through Will’s blonde hair.

They were curled up in bed, Will’s head pillowed on Sonny’s chest. A fan was blowing air on them, the apartment stifling in the Midwestern mid-July heat. They were both naked and a thin sheet was the only thing covering them, their legs criss-crossed underneath.

“Mmmm,” Will hummed, halfway to sleep.

“He was having breakfast with Derek.”

Will shifted his head at that, so he could look at Sonny. “Really?”

Sonny smiled and nodded. “I didn’t talk to them, but they looked happy. Paul was laughing at something Derek said.”

Will’s face lit up. “See.” Will poked Sonny’s chest. “I told you it was a good idea.”

“We’ll see,” Sonny joked.

Will stuck his tongue out at Sonny.

“Wanna get some brunch at the Pub?” Will asked Sonny one Saturday towards the end of September. “Ari’s staying with our parents, so we don’t have dad duty today. Let’s go out.”

“Alright,” Sonny agreed with a smile.

* * * * * * * * * *

“This was a good idea,” Sonny said, lacing their fingers as they left the pub an hour and a half later. “You might be a Brady but you don’t cook like one.”

Will threw his head back laughing. “Yeah, well, my mom once almost blew up our apartment trying to microwave popcorn so you know where I get it from.”

Sonny shook with laughter but stopped abruptly when he realized Will had stopped walking and was staring at him. “What?” Sonny asked, alarmed.

“We’re good, right, Sonny? You and me?”

“Yeah, of course.” When Will didn’t say anything, Sonny asked, “You okay?” His face was all concern.

“Yeah, I just - I love you,” Will said, gathering his thoughts.

“I love you, too.” Will smiled. “I want us to work this time, Sonny. I want us to last.” He ran his free hand over his eyes and laughed nervously. “This isn’t coming out like I wanted it to,” Will mumbled to himself. Then, louder, to Sonny, “When you left for Paris, I really, I really didn’t know what to do with myself. All I knew how to do was love you. And then when I came back after...you know...You were with Paul and it felt like I was vindicated in everything I’d felt and done with regards to you and Paul.”

“Will, I know all this.”

“Sonny, please let me finish,” Will begged. “So I tried. I tried so hard to move on, I did, but I guess that hope that you would love me again never really went away. And then you were kissing me on our anniversary and telling me you still loved me and wanted to be with me again and it felt like a dream.” Will was rambling now, his thoughts moving faster than his mind could create coherent sentences. “And we’re both in better places than we were back then, with our jobs, and you with Paul, and Paul has a boyfriend, and we’re all friends and everything is just so good. I’m so scared, Sonny. I’m so scared that the other shoe is going to drop.”

It wasn’t at all what he had planned to say this morning when he asked for brunch at the Pub.

“Hey,” Sonny soothed, taking Will’s free hand in his own. “I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere this time, I promise. I mean it, Will. No more running away.”

Will searched Sonny’s face. It was open and honest and earnest in a way it had never been since Will had followed Sami to LA.

Letting go of Sonny’s hands, Will reached into his pocket and pulled out a little box. With a deep breath, Will fell onto his knee and flipped open the box to reveal a silver band. Looking up at Sonny, Will asked, “Marry me?”

“God yes,” Sonny breathed and leaned to down to kiss Will’s lips, his hands on Will’s face.

Will grinned into the kiss, standing up and circling his arms around Sonny’s waist. It was a new beginning, same as their first kiss in that spot had been so many years ago, Will’s heart beating a steady drum against his chest same as it had then too.

Sonny broke away first, a smile tugging at his lips, his arms draping around Will’s neck. “You got a new ring.”

“To be honest, I don’t know what happened to my ring,” Will replied. “And I didn’t have yours. Besides, I want this to be a new beginning for us, one that we don’t mess up. I thought the best way to do that was with new rings.”

To emphasize his point, Will pried himself away from Sonny so he could take the ring out of the box. Sonny held his left hand out for Will. Will obliged and slid the ring onto Sonny’s finger, where it sat snug like it had always belonged there.

Before Sonny knew what happened, Will had produced another ring box from inside his jacket. “Do you want to -?” Will started to ask, but Sonny was already taking the box from him.

Will laughed and held his own hand out for Sonny. Like Sonny’s, the ring fit snug on his finger as if it should have always been there. He never planned for his finger to be empty ever again.

Sonny grinned at him. “I love you, husband.”

“We’re not married yet.”

“You were always my husband, even when you weren’t.”

Will blinked back sudden tears. To hear Sonny say that was overwhelming. “Me too.”

Sonny’s arms found their way around Will’s waist; Will’s found their familiar place draped around Sonny’s neck.

“I love you,” Sonny said.

“I love you, too.”

Week of July 7 - July 11, 2003

Larry mistakenly shot at Brady when he went to the swimming pool, where Nicole had tried to lure Victor so Larry could kill him. Victor came up as Nicole pulled Brady from the pool. Brady said he fell into the pool and hit his head after hearing the gunshot. Victor, who had a gun, went after the shoot (but Larry had split). Larry refused when Nicole wanted to call off the hit on Victor.

JANUARY 2018

PAGE RIB

*****Although companies can’t technically give financial support to a candidate, execs and employees can pool their money and donate. Let’s not forget those who gave big support Roy Moore: NBC Universal, AT&T, Aflac, Comcast, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Price Waterhouse Cooper, Pfizer, Boeing and Microsoft among others.

*****Check out the great new music video from This Ordinary Life featuring Chris Learned. Go Go Go!!

*****So happy to see Richard Gilliland on Criminal Minds. More!!

***** What went thru Hillary’s mind when she saw the crowd in the street yelling “lock him up” at Flynn. The former national security advisor admits lying to the FBI and was directed before inauguration while at Mar- A -Lago to work with Russia. Wil this bring up charges of the Logan act in which people who aren’t in the government conduct business on behalf of the government in foreign policy?** ABC’s Brian Ross was suspended after erroneously reporting that Flynn was directed to do this before the election. ** Where is Hunter S. Thompson when we need him?

*****Days alert: I really do love Andre and Abby’s dynamic. **Good to see Kate get found and I can’t believe she later tells on herself.**I know that Nicole supposedly can’t get pregnant but will she come back one day with Eric’s baby?? Will there be a baby for Eli?** It seems that Sammy can’t ever be in town without bedding someone.**Great to see the fabulous Louise Sorel back as Vivian!!** Next up is GH’s Tyler Christopher as another DiMera heir, Stefan O. and Leann Hunley is back as Anna who will spend some time with Roman. Hooray.. There are new DOOLMOJIS, emoji’s of Days characters.

*****Scary clown has fired the entire HIV/AIDS advisory council by a Fed ex letter. 150 mil cut from HIV prevention, 26 mil cut from housing for people with aids, 800 mil cut from global programs.** The one good thing right now is the economy. The clown has the luck of inheriting Obama’s hard work. Many companies are doing better because regulations are being cut and money will be saved at tax time but how safe are the rest of us?? They may be uncomfortable with Trump talk but they will sure take the money. I guess they can live with no good thought about human rights and climate change. And in foreign policy the President is Putin’s bitch.** Word is that they are working on more White House staff restructuring in January.

*****Reuters reports that Russian tankers are supplying fuel to North Korea by transferring it at sea.

*****Duncan Jones has launched an online book club dedicated to his Dad, David Bowie’s favorite 100 books. Woo Hoo!

*****Stories are coming out that the Dr. Phil staff aid in getting drugs and drink for addicts. There are also claims that people are not properly monitored by medical personnel.

*****The house passed the notion that conceal and carry can go from one state to another.

*****Cash cab is back with new shows after 5 years. Ok.. I did not even know it was gone but I guess the popularity of the reruns continues on the Game show network.

*****A mandate has been repealed so they will be able to drill in the National wildlife reserves. It never ends with these money guys. The Native American community are screaming out to keep Bears ears and the grand staircase safe and peaceful.** Mike Murphy calls our current predicament , “the first screwball presidency.”**

*****Scott Pelly is out as anchor of the CBS evening news and Jeff Glore is in. The network wanted to go with youth.

*****What is it with the History channel? They take intriguing subjects like HH Holmes, Jack the Ripper and The Zodiak and turn a few nuggets into yawn fests. The recent special , Manson speaks didn’t really let him speak much. The premise was that they had hours of Manson on tape but they only played a few select sentences at the beginning and the end of commercial breaks and the rest was mostly pontificating and talking to others. Harold Trues cousin was great though. There were some interesting people who had interaction with Manson or the family at various times and I did learn a few things but it wasn’t exactly as advertised. It did not need to stretch to 2 nights. Many of their specials are more of the same. One does have to wonder that with Manson’s death, will people come forward with new info? Hangers on or witnesses may have bought into his scary mystique and been afraid to talk and may feel more free to open up now. Will more mysteries get solved? ** Manson apparently left all rights to his image to a pen pa he has had for 20 years. News reports claimed he had no next of kin which we know is wrong.

*****Rick Steves is speaking out for the international legalization of marijuana.

*****Better late than never with Henry Winkler is back at the beginning of the year.

*****IBM has named Fletcher Previn its youngest chief information officer in their history.

*****Ads for the Olympics have already started.

*****Psych: The movie was delicious. Glad to see they did not lose their mojo. There was a Richard Thomas mention. Go!

*****Word is that Stranger Things season 3 will hit us in 2019.

*****Have a wonderful 2018 everyone and fight on for the rights for all of us!!

*****John Oliver called out Dustin Hoffman for his treatment of women. Hoffman responded, “Do you believe everything you read?” The tone was as condescending as I have ever heard. There have since been more allegations. Since the incident John Oliver tells us that the conversation did not really go anywhere and it makes him sad.** Newest allegations in the me too, expose your pig era are against Tavis Smiley, Mario Batali and Morgan Spurlock. Andrea Ramsey is the first woman to be called out who had to drop out of a congressional race in Kansas after allegations that she harassed a male subordinate. And Gene Simmons is being sued which we should have seem coming. He was even put out by Fox news! ** Thanks Time for The silence breakers as the person of the year. In a world where these brave women are standing up after years of abuse, why are we still stuck with garbage like The Bachelor?

*****John Conyers retires.** We lost Al Franken and in his case it was barely mentioned that so many women signed letters of support and truly believed in him. He will leave at the end of the year. I guess he had to go but he is such a fighter for the truth. He was one of the few who called out those taking our rights away. Tom Arnold claims this was all set up and the first woman was coached to bring him down and that he has proof but it is hard to believe him. He still hasn’t shown us the ‘proof’ of Trump and his filth that he claims to have. Will Franken be able to do more once he is on the outside again? What is all but the first allegation turn out to be nothing? What does that mean for his future? Tom Brokaw was right , that the people of Minnesota should have decided his fate and not a bunch of senators. Even Newt defended Al on Fox. Pelosi’s big mouth on Meet the Press helped to fuck this up. We must always believe the accuser first. But there are going to be times when accusations come for other reasons other than the truth. I always say.. follow the evidence. Ruining a good man or woman is just as bad as rape. But we must remember that only about 3% of sexual allegations are false. Trump and his cohorts know the left will usually back down. They love that the left are do gooders while they just deny and smile. They do not care about the “what about you guys?” stuff. The Trumpsters think Minnesota is a great place for “their kind” of candidate so they can gain more control.

*****Director Bryan Singer was fired from the Bohemian Rhapsody film for allegedly not showing up to work .Dexter Fletcher will now direct.

*****Ryan Reynolds will play Det. Pikachu?

*****ABC is bringing us Child support with Fred Savage and Ricky Gervais. I am not much of a game show fan but I am intrigued.

*****So it seems that those in charge at House of cards were listening and put Robin Wright at the top of the heap and will continue.

*****Homeless numbers are up mostly due to soaring rent prices.

*****The Trump announcement about Jerusalem was good for some more distraction and chaos. Nothing may ever happen with the newly named capital and it would take years before things were ever moved anyway. Why is this twitter coward allowed to put us thru this over and over? Why is he still holding rallies? The White house says he is testing lines for his next election. He is seeing what the base is most excited about because that is all he really seems to care about. So far, their research shows the talking points that get the biggest reaction are standing for the anthem, winning by a landslide, distrust of the media and appointing conservatives

*****The John Travolta /Gotti film pulled its Dec. 15 release date. Producers exercised a buy back clause and are looking for a new distributer.

*****We are finding out that teaching creationism is a big part of the reason Trump and Betsy Devos are so gung ho about this voucher school program.

*****I was so shocked to hear Donald Sutherland say he thought of himself as an ugly man. I vehemently disagree as I always thought he was so fucking hot.

*****The new tax plan gives tax breaks for private planes and inherited estates that are over a million. The plan will add a trillion to the deficit and seems to keep adding more incentive to the rich with every passing day.** Since 1980, the economy has transferred 8 points of national income from the poor to the rich according to the Washington Post.

*****The critic choice noms are out giving the top spots to The Shape of water and Feud: Bette and Joan. Others include Daniel Kaluuya and Jordan Peele for Get Out, Patrick Stewart, It , Stranger Things, The Crown, Bob Odenkirk, Michael McKean (yes!), Allison Brie and Glow, Ed O’Neill, Jessica Lange (no Susan?), Judy Davis, Laura Dern, all the late night Jimmy’s, and the only nom for AHS for Evan Peters.

*****This month’s Fox headline: Andrew Jackson: hero under fire!

*****The Librarians are back on TNT doing their goofy best with that great cast and its better than ever.

*****Christiane Amanpour is now on in place of Charlie Rose on PBS. Great show but I don’t ever remember her wearing that much makeup.

*****Brooklyn 99 has had a great season. Think Bovine Brothel!!

*****Baskets is coming on FX.WHEW!!!

*****What happened to the voice on the quilted northern commercial? They have now opted for a softer, more optimistic voice. Did the other voice scare people or make them cry?

*****Love HBO’s Rolling Stone: Stories from the edge. So many memories come flooding back from articles I have read thru the years. They include some of the most important stories from our recent past, lest we forget. Please tell me there is somebody deep undercover in the scary clown administration. Speaking of which, Omarosa is out and seems to want to sell her story but trouble is neither side seems to like her or trust her so how will that play out?

***** Will history lay a lot of blame, good and bad on the Clintons for the direction of this country? They already point out the sexual allegations against President Clinton everyday somewhere. Did he usher in this movement? The Paula Jones case made it possible for a sitting President to be sued which seems to have backfired on the republicans. Can you imagine Trump sitting for a deposition? Oy! Will Hillary be slighted for not winning and sticking us with Trump? There were many things in play in the election so is that fair? **Pete Davidson got a Hillary tattoo as a gift for her for Christmas. His statement: Thanks for being such a badass and one of the strongest people in the universe. I mean no shit..If the roles were reversed on the candidates: The President seems like a sore winner, can you imagine if he had lost? And can you imagine how well the government would be running with a woman in charge (except , of course all the trouble the haters would have caused).

*****A federal appeals court overturned a ruling that Brendan Dassey had been coerced into confessing to the murder of Teresa Halibach. Next stop: The Supreme Court. Let the guy out, what a ridiculous waste of time and resources.

*****The scary clown administration has told the CDC they are not to use the words Diversity, transgender, fetus, entitlement, vulnerable, evidence based or science based.

***** I am not always much on tradition but with all the ridiculousness going on we don’t hear enough about the niceties like the first lady decorating and the White House Christmas ornament which this year honors Franklin D. Roosevelt. SAD

*****Why were the republicans allowed to build this tax reform bill behind closed doors? This is not how our democracy is supposed to work. The mostly rich white male republicans just keep seeing how far they can go and they keep getting their way. They just do it. They had Trump so why not Moore? We can’t forget how close that election really was with an accused teen loving monster.** I mean we all saw that focus group where the citizen said that his Grandmother was married and had kids by 13. Ok that is true enough I am sure. But then he added that years ago a Mother would be thrilled to hear that their 14 year old daughter was being hit on by a DA. What the Fuck? This is the mentality we are dealing with. No care for character or the hate they spew for those that are different as long as they get their way. Outlaw abortion, guns for all, more money allocated for the old useless trickle down and crow about Jerusalem makes everybody happy. Some evangelicals said their votes were their sacrifice for the greater good. My son commented that he did not see them as making the sacrifice, it was the teenage girls who sacrificed, not once but again and again as they are dragged thru the mud. Isn’t the main objective of Christianity to convert others to the word of God? Is this the way to do it? It seems you are only pushing others away? Who wants to knowingly become a part of the hate? Why does some of the media never learn? They concentrate mostly on the allegations and not enough on the other horrible things that came out of his mouth. Why not tell us the wonderful things Doug Jones did in his life and the things he stood for? Of course, Mitch McConnell won’t let him vote on the tax plan. C’mon REAL media concentrate.. quit looking at the shiny object. It will be good for all of us.** And why do so many people not vote? It makes me crazy that someone would not want to exercise a right that was so hard fought for? Are they too stupid? Too cool? ** By the way Roy Moore is now suing Alabama because he is such a sore loser claiming he has proof of voter fraud( yes, we are still on that kick) and he also states that he passed lie detector tests about the teen victims.

*****What is with people on the computer in the government? Do they never learn to keep things to themselves? It will always come back at ya. This time it is people discussing what an idiot Trump is. Well, we all know that but don’t make inquiries easy for them.

*****Saw an interview with Judd Apatow. He said something about all films aren’t winners or something as he referred to Walk Hard. Oh.. what a shame, just because it isn’t a money maker. I always thought it was his best film.

*****Gotta see David Bowie: The last 5 years.

*****Disney has bought much of Fox which includes interest in Hulu and National Geographic. Fox will keep the sports and news for now.

*****The Illinois Governor race is heating up with Chris Kennedy, Jeanne Ives, Daniel Biss and JB Pritzker with his empire behind him.

*****Anita Hill will lead a Hollywood commission looking into sexual harassment and advancing equality in the workplace.

*****The Golden Globe noms are out and will be presented on January 7. This year there are nods to The Disaster artist, Get out, The Crown, Stranger Things, Elizabeth Moss, Claire Foy, Bob Odenkirk, Issa Rae, Feud and love for both Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange, Jessica Biel, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman. Supporting noms for Alfred Molina and David Harbour are exciting. The shape of water did big at the globes as they seem to be doing everywhere. I was so glad to see Ozark and Jason Bateman get recognized. Yeow! Oprah is getting the Cecil B. DeMille award which I was hoping would go to Kurt Russel. They have done away with Mr. and Miss Golden Globes and rechristened the children of the famous the Golden Globe ambassador. This year we have the Rock’s daughter.

*****SAG also released their noms. They will air on TNT January 21 with host Kristen Belle. Jessica and Susan from Feud and all the women of Big little lies are included. Glad to see Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin from Grace and Frankie along with Alison Brie, Layra Linney, Elizabeth Moss, Millie Bobbie Brown and Claire Foy.. The casts of Glow, Veep, The Crown, Stranger Things and Curb your enthusiasm got some notice. Larry David and Marc Maron, Jason Bateman, David Harbour and Bob Odenkirk show us the fine work on TV. The movie noms pay respect to Laurie Metclf, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, James Franco, Daniel Kalluya and Gary Oldman. The casts honored are Get Out, Mudbound, Ladybird and Three billboards.** There are so many great shows out there but I would love to see some recognition for Major Crimes and The Middle.

*****Don’t get me started on the new class for the 2018 Rock and Roll hall of fame. Again.. and I get so tired of saying this NO J. Geils?** So here it s: Bon Jovi (really), Dire Straits, The Moody Blues (about time), The Cars, Nina Simone and the early influence award goes to Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

*****The moment between Joe Biden and Meagan McCain was a heartfelt, spontaneous, bipartisan thing of beauty. It shows us how we can find our humanity. And on the other side it was a smart political move.

*****OMG.. Michael Shannon was on the best At home with Amy Sedaris ever!!!!!

*****The Trump administration officially downgraded climate change to a national security threat.

*****Thanks Karina Longworth for the most recent podcast of You must remember this: Where monsters come from. Bela and Boris are two of my earliest childhood heroes. It is a nice break from the recent political landscape. Hmm, pigeon and rum omelet dinners??** I also just read that James Franco is a big fan of the podcast. Give it a listen, you will be hooked.

***** A judge ruled that the FBI’s listing of juggalos as a gang wasn’t a ‘final agency’ so it isn’t legally binding and could not be challenged in court.

*****The bidding has begun for The Weinstein Company.

*****Ringo Starr and Barry Gibb will finally get their knighthood.

*****R.I.P. The victims of the train derailment, Simeon Booker, Pat Dinizio, Richard Dobson, Bruce McCandless. Dick Enberg, Bob Givens. Jordan Feldstein, Marshall Loeb, Sue Grafton, Jack Blessing, John Anderson, Jim Burns, Erica Garner and Rose Marie.
