Sonny delivers Gabi's baby on Smith Island. He spanks the baby to get her breathing and he and Gabi tear up as they meet Arianna Grace. In the shed, Nick sobs and calls Jansen inhuman, for shooting Will. Nick vows Jansen will pay, just as Hope barges in and shoots Jansen dead. She calls EMS and Will opens his eyes. Back-up finds Sonny and Gabi in some shed across the island while the EMS works on Will.

Back at the hospital, Will's in surgery when Kate, Sami, and Lucas show up. They're all shocked after hearing the news of the shooting, and Sami blames Nick, thinking he wanted Will out of the way. She beats on him until EJ arrives with Justin and pulls her off him. Dr. Knapp examines Gabi and assures her Will is in good hands - Dr. Jonas is attending. In the waiting room, everyone goes to meet Arianna while Justin, Hope, and Sonny pace. Maxine hands Ari over to Gabi in her room. The room fills with Sami, Kate, and Lucas, who fawn over the newborn. Gabi tells them Arianna weighs in at 7lbs and 20 inches. Sami holds the baby. In the waiting room, Hope tells EJ she knows he wasn't behind Rafe's attack. EJ wasn't surprised. Pointing the finger at the DiMera's is what passes for police work in this town. Nearby, Justin pats Sonny on the back for delivering Arianna. Sonny grins. He saw Will in Ari's face when he delivered her. Sonny breaks down with concern over Will but Justin promises Sonny won't lose Will. Will's love for Sonny will make him "fight like hell to come back to you," Justin says. Vargas arrives and gets an update from Hope. He goes to Nick and rides him about keeping his mouth shut. Daniel interrupts, fresh from surgery to tell the family that Will's okay. Everyone laughs in relief. Sami and Lucas go see Will. Maxine tells Sonny, Justin, EJ, and Nick that Will is doing fine.

"It doesn't make you any... less of a man," Vargas says. He goes to Hope, who is beating herself up over what Ciara did. He gives her a pep talk. Meanwhile, Sonny rushes to Will's side. Later, Hope calls Roman to update him on the situation and Justin calls Adrienne. Marlena holds Arianna in Gabi's room while Kate tries to figure out who she is to the baby. They take photos and Kate sends them to everyone in her address book. A nurse pops her head in to tell Gabi she can't find Nick anywhere while Sami and Lucas walk in on a sweet moment with Sonny vowing to Will, "From now on, we're together."
