Chapter 2 “As you can see,” Alan handed his newest hire all their paperwork, “we have everything you need in place.” “And the security team?” This was the doctor’s greatest concern. “Well aware of your special circumstances and more than willing to do what is needed.” He smiled at the young doctor. “I promise, everything will be okay.” Patrick knocked on the door before opening it up. “Alan, you wanted to see me?” “Yes Dr. Drake, please come in.” Alan stood up and indicated that the person in the chair should do the same. “Patrick Drake I would like to meet…” Patrick couldn’t believe his eyes as the doctor turned around and smiled at him. “Robin?” “Patrick.” Robin shook her head and smiled. “You’re the head of neurology?” “You’re the new researcher?” He took two steps forward and picked her up in a tight hug. “This is great!” Alan watched the two curiously. “You two know each other?” Robin giggled as Patrick finally set her down. “Yes, we went to college together. Patrick was a groomsman at Roger and mine’s wedding.” Patrick smiled at her. “Is he here?” Robin's good mood instantly vanished. “I thought you knew – Roger died six years ago.” Patrick felt like he had been punched in the stomach. “Oh God Robin, I am so sorry. I didn’t know.” He looked at Alan. “If you are done with Robin I would like to take her for a walk and catch up.” Alan had been watching the two doctors very carefully – there was a certain spark between the two of them that he couldn’t help but notice. He nodded his head. “Of course.” Alan gave Robin a big hug. “I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to have you back in Port Charles.” “It’s wonderful to be back. I will talk to you later.” Turning to Patrick, Robin smiled at him once more. “Shall we Dr. Drake?” Patrick opened up the office door and allowed Robin to walk through it before gently taking her arm and turning her in the direction he wanted to go. “Let’s head to your office – it’s just down the hall from mine.” “That would be great.” Robin matched him stride for stride as they walked down the hall. “How did you end up at General Hospital?” “Well, you always spoke so highly of Port Charles.” Robin laughed as she remembered telling him about Jason and how Port Charles had more mobsters per capita than most big cities. “Plenty of chances to operate, right?” “Actually, that was how I ended up staying in Port Charles.” He opened up his office door and let her enter before him. She sat down on the couch and he joined her. “I came out here to help my dad – he had joined AA and wanted to make amends with me. I wanted to be there to help him however I could. While I was here Jason Morgan needed brain surgery and I was the only one who would do it.” “My ex, Jason?” Robin couldn’t believe what a small world it truly was. One of her oldest friends ended up doing life saving brain surgery on her ex-boyfriend. “Yes, that Jason.” Patrick had almost turned down the request because he knew about how Jason had treated Robin but his ego won out. “Alan was so impressed with the surgery that he offered me a position on the staff.” “How is your dad?” Robin had met Patrick their sophomore year in college, a few years after his mother had died, and been a great sounding board for him. She understood what is was like to lose a parent – both of her parents had been presumed dead after an explosion – and she had used that experience to help him work through it. Noah’s decision to turn to the bottle instead of his son had hurt Patrick greatly. “Is he still…” “Yeah, eight years now. He even managed to hold on to his sobriety when Matt showed up.” “Who’s Matt?” “My brother.” Patrick couldn’t help but laugh at her response. “No, I didn’t know about him but he is a neurosurgeon here at GH. He is a really great guy and someday he may be as good a surgeon as I am.” “Wait – Matt Hunter? As in Maxie’s Matt?” Robin could not believe that her cousin was dating Patrick’s brother. “Yes.” Patrick thought about it for a second and finally made the connection. “Oh my God, I completely missed it.” “It’s okay.” She sighed. “Wow – that is a lot to take in at once.” Robin couldn’t imagine Patrick being someone’s brother. “Robin, what happened to Roger?” Roger had been a couple of years older than them in school. Patrick and Roger had met in a class after Roger had starting dating Robin. “He ended up becoming a firefighter. One night he went on a call and never came home.” The sadness in her voice was hard to hide. It was amazing to her that it still hurt to talk about it after all this time. “He died doing what he loved.” Patrick took Robin’s hand in his. “I am so sorry. Robin, if I had known…” “I know Patrick.” She sighed. “How’s Michelle?” Roger had had sole custody of his little girl when they met. By the time Robin and Roger married, Michelle was six years old and completely loved her new mommy. Robin had told Patrick that she considered it the perfect situation – she was certain she would be unable to have children because of her HIV status and Michelle needed a mom. Michelle’s own mother had walked out of her life right after she was born. Less than a year after their marriage, Robin had legally adopted her. Robin stood up and headed to the door. “Oh no, I need to get down to the nurse’s station – I’m meeting her…” Patrick followed her. “I’ll walk you there – hopefully she’ll remember her Uncle Patrick. Is she in college now?” Robin nodded her head. “We had a few tough years but she just got accepted into Port Charles’s nursing program.” They arrived at the nurse’s station and Robin relaxed when she saw that Michelle wasn’t there yet. “Good, it will give me a chance to tell you something. Patrick, I…” Robin stopped speaking when a little body ran into her and hugged her legs tight. Robin laughed and gently picked up the beautiful brown haired, brown eyed little girl. “Did you get to see the daycare?” The little girl began speaking a mile a minute. “They have books and blocks and dolls and…” “Rylee – I told you to wait for me.” Michelle came running up to the nurse’s station, almost out of breath. She kissed Robin on the cheek. “I swear mom, this kid is going to be the death of me.” Patrick watched the scene closely. This little girl was no more than three years old but Roger had been gone for six years. “Robin – is this your daughter?” Robin and Michelle both started laughing at his comment. Robin finally spoke to the little girl she held in her arms. “Rylee, who am I?” The little girl rolled her eyes at the silly question. “You’re Grandma Robin.”

Since no one is stopping me, might as well keep on going lol. This is a work in progress and combines some new ideas with old storylines. What if Patrick and Robin had been college friends who meet again years later? Chapter 1 “I was thinking about dinner out at the Metro Court tonight.” Sabrina Santiago batted her eyelashes at Patrick Drake as he reviewed a chart. “What do you think?” “Have fun.” Patrick made some more notes, barely acknowledging the young nurse. “I meant for us silly.” Sabrina and Patrick had been dating casually for a few months now and she was hoping to finally get him to commit tonight. “A nice, romantic dinner…” He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Patrick had recently come to the conclusion that he needed to stop dating around and focus on creating just one relationship. The pretty young nurse had seemed like a good idea at first but the woman was simply too complacent for him. She had an almost hero-like worship of him that was ego boosting in the beginning but quickly got old. He needed someone who challenged him and wasn’t afraid to disagree with him. He had let this Sabrina thing go on way too long as it was and he needed to end it. Patrick gave Sabrina his trademark Drake smile. “I appreciate the offer but Alan really wants me to meet the new doctor in a little bit and who knows how long that is going to take.” Sabrina frowned. “But Patrick…” He decided it was time to finally come clean. “Sabrina, you are a very nice girl but I really think it is best if we stick to a professional relationship at this time.” This was not happening. She shook her head in disbelief. “But I thought…” “I have never promised you anything Sabrina.” Patrick had been very careful to not give her any hope that he would commit to her. “We have had a great time but I think you need more than I can give you.” Her lower lip trembled as the reality of his words hit her. “So it’s over – just like that?” “You deserve someone who can give you a future with children and a family, someone who wants to get married and settle down.” The words flowed easily from his mouth. “I am not that man – my career will always come first.” “But…” “Please Sabrina, let me do this for you.” He took her hand in his. “Let me give you the freedom to find the future you deserve.” She wiped away a tear but nodded her head. “Okay Patrick.” She looked at the clock. “I need to head home now but I will see you here tomorrow.” “Of course and Sabrina,” Patrick waited for her to look at him one last time, “I hope you find what you are looking for.” She just nodded her head sadly. “Me too Patrick.” He watched her walk away and then turned his attention back to his chart. He had barely started making notes when he heard a voice behind him. “That was smooth Patrick.” Patrick turned around to see his old friend, Liz Spencer, standing behind him. “What?” “Please, I could have told you months ago that it would never work between you and Sabrina.” Liz began organizing her charts as she spoke. “You can only stand that hero-worship thing for so long before you get bored.” Patrick smirked at the pretty nurse. Liz and her husband Lucky had been two of his first friends when he had come to Port Charles. He had initially come here to help his father, Dr. Noah Drake, sober up but had stayed on to help with an extremely difficult patient named Jason Morgan. Jason had been a friend of Liz’s and Patrick’s father had pushed him to perform the surgery after a drug protocol created by another doctor had failed. Before he knew it, Patrick was on staff at General Hospital working with his newly sober father. It had taken time but the two men had eventually been able to co-exist peacefully until a doctor by the name of Matt Hunter appeared on the scene and revealed that he was Noah’s son from an affair Noah had while married to Patrick’s mother. Patrick had rejected Noah for what he had done to Matt, abandoning the boy at birth, and the brothers had begun building a relationship. Noah had left town for a little while to do some work with Doctors Without Borders but had recently returned, intent on being the father both men needed. It was Matt who had Patrick rethinking his plan to remain single. Matt had begun dating a hospital volunteer by the name of Maxie Jones last year and the two of them were great together. Seeing Matt happy with a woman who was his equal and gave just as good as she got had given Patrick hope that he might find the same thing someday. Sabrina was his first attempt at doing something other than a one night stand. “She’s a sweet kid but I am definitely not the right man for her and it was only right to give her a chance to find the right one.” Patrick finished making his notes. “I want his vitals checked every four hours.” “Certainly doctor.” Liz took the chart from him. “Have you ever thought of searching for her on the internet?” “Searching for who?” “You know who.” Years ago, after a night out at Jake’s, Liz had managed to get Patrick to admit to loving one woman in his life while they were in college together. Unfortunately, she had been engaged to a good friend of his and Patrick had never had the courage to tell her. He watched her marry the man and, after she was accepted into medical school abroad, they had lost touch. “Maybe her situation has changed in the past 15 years.” Patrick shook his head and sighed. “Let it go Liz, I have.” Liz just laughed at him. “You just keep telling yourself that Patrick.” She filed away the chart. “You need to get going – Alan is expecting you to welcome Dr. Soltini to the hospital in ten minutes.” “Whatever – I don’t get why Alan is so hyped on this doctor.” Patrick had been ordered by Alan to greet the newest addition to the GH staff and show them around the hospital. Apparently this researcher was a genius with drug protocols but Patrick was a surgeon and had no use for drug protocols – all he needed was a scalpel and an OR. “I don’t either but you don’t want to get on Alan’s bad side.” Liz winked at her old friend. “So go and play nice with the new doctor.” Patrick shook his head. “Fine but I expect you to get a sitter so I can have drinks with you and Lucky after. Text me when it’s all set up.” “Be nice and we’ll even buy the first round.” Liz went back to her work. “See you in a little bit.” Patrick stalked off down the hallway, ready to get this meeting over with as soon as possible so he could go and have a few drinks with his friends.

So, Robin's in the elevator, right? I mean the anvils that were dropped about Anna's past coming back means that the pregnant Robin is in the elevator and Olivia is planning to do to her what she did to her mother. Of course, Jason will be the one to find her and save her and the baby. I don't have the negative feelings towards Emily a lot of people have so I am fine with them naming their daughter after his murdered sister.

Just a little one based on Robin's current visit lol Patrick came rushing off the elevator and ran straight to his wife's room. He needed to see her, needed to make sure that she and their baby were alright after their latest run in with a blast from her parents past. He opened the door to find Robin standing by the bed and quickly ran to her. "Thank God." He wrapped her up in his arms and hugged her close. "I was so scared when I heard what happened." Robin leaned into him and allowed him to rock her in his arms. "We're fine - I promise." "You need to be sitting down." He helped her onto the bed and sat down next to her. "What the hell happened? I mean, you just came here to be with your mom for a few days and you ended up kidnapped again?" She shook her head. "Apparently this woman, Olivia Jerome, we thought was dead wasn't." "Not surprising given it's Port Charles." Patrick knew better than anyone that the dead didn't stay dead in this town. "Olivia Jerome?" "She's Julian's sister. Years ago, she was obsessed with Duke." Patrick had slid back on the bed so Robin laid down next to him and curled up by his side, her head resting right over his heart. "They slept together and, when he decided to be with my mom, she did everything she could to tear them apart." "Like Lisa did with us?" Robin cringed at the mention of the woman who almost killed her. "Yes although I didn't make the connection until you said that. Anyway, she went so far as to rig an elevator to crash with my mom on it. My mom was pregnant and she lost the baby." "Oh." His hand to her belly where their second child lay. He knew that they were both okay, Epiphany had assured him of that when she called him and told him what had happened, but this Olivia woman could have easily killed both Robin and the baby. "I'm just glad that she is back in jail where she belongs and can never hurt anyone again." Robin closed her eyes. "Is Emma with your dad?" "Grandpa Noah and her are on their way to Disneyland as we speak." Patrick shut his eyes and pulled her a little closer. "Robin, can I ask you a favor?" "Of course." She felt safer in his arms then any place else. "I think we need to stop visiting Port Charles." Patrick felt her tense up but he didn't stop talking. He had something to say and he was going to say it. "Robin, please hear me out." "But my mom and Uncle Mac..." "Can come to Berkeley and visit us there." He gently ran his hand up and down her back. "Robin, you have been kidnapped from Port Charles numerous times, shot twice and held hostage. You were here for less than a day and some madwoman from your parents past held you hostage at General Hospital. This town is bad for you, for us, and I think it is time we admit it and, for all of our sakes, stay as far away from it as possible." Tears filled Robin's eyes. "But we met here, we fell in love here and got married here..." "And we will carry those memories with us always but we cannot forget the events that surrounded our falling in love and getting married. Jerry Jax, Helena Cassadine and now, Olivia Jerome." His hand moved from her back and began stroking her hair. "Think about our lives in Berkeley - no mobsters or spies or international criminals, just us and our family enjoying a nice, normal life. We have had more peace and happiness in one year at Berkeley than we did in ten years here." Robin couldn't help but nod her head in agreement. Everything he was saying was true, she knew it in her heart, and they were safer and happier in Berkeley than she could have ever dreamed. All the pain, the years she had spent away from her family, the threats made against the people she loved, it all started here in Port Charles. It was time to finally leave the town behind for good. "You're right." She sat up. "So Dr. Drake, I think it's time that you take me and our child home." "That is the best idea you have had in a long time." Patrick stood up before helping his wife off the bed. He kissed her before taking her hand and leading her out the door. "Let's go home Dr. Scorpio-Drake."

Epilogue “Come on Robin, push.” Robin glared at her husband. “What the hell do you think I have been doing?!” Patrick held on to her hand tightly and smiled. “Good, get angry at me and use it to push our little boy into this world.” He knew this had been a long and hard labor but it was almost over and soon their son would be here. He had wanted Robin to have a c-section but Kelly had agreed that a natural birth was the safest and most logical choice. It was killing him to see her in such pain and he was praying it was almost over. “You are doing great Robin, he’s crowning. A couple of more pushes and he should be here.” Kelly, like Patrick, had been a source of comfort and encouragement throughout the entire delivery. “Ugh,” she glared at Patrick, “I need to push again.” She grunted and then, screaming and squeezing Patrick’s hand to the point he thought she would break it, pushed as hard as she could. “Here’s his head.” Kelly carefully cradled the baby’s head as Robin pushed again. The baby’s shoulders came through and the rest of him quickly followed. Robin panted and finally relaxed as Patrick looked down at Kelly. Suddenly the sound of their son screaming filled the room. Robin began crying as Patrick held her. They watched as Liz grabbed their little boy to clean him up and get his measurements. “He’s here. Patrick, our son is here.” Robin was crying but they were tears of joy. She looked over at Patrick who also had the same tears running down his face. Liz wrapped him up and brought him over to her friends. “He’s beautiful guys.” She handed the little boy, safely swaddled in a blue blanket, over to his mother. He had his mother’s dark brown hair and his eyes were open enough that they could see his they were the same shade of chocolate as his father’s. He also had his father’s dimples. “He’s perfect.” Patrick leaned over and kissed his wife. “Robin, you have never looked more beautiful.” She laughed. “Really? I am sweaty, drugged and recovering from 30 hours of labor. I am anything but beautiful.” Patrick looked at her sincerely. “You have spent the last day and a half showing me how strong you are. Your strength and love are what makes you beautiful. Add to it the fact that you are holding our son and Robin, you are the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen.” Robin’s tears kept coming. How did she ever get so lucky as to end up with such a man? “I love you so much. I’m sorry I yelled at you.” Patrick laughed. “I love you too but I think I can forgive you; you certainly had reason to yell at me.” “I hate to interrupt but we need to get Robin moved into her room.” Liz was thrilled for her friends. “Patrick, you can meet us there. Dr. Lee will be in with the test results soon.” The baby was being tested for HIV. Patrick was negative and the chance of their baby boy contracting HIV from Robin was less than 2% but there was still a chance and Robin couldn’t completely relax until she knew. A half hour later they were settled into the room. Their baby boy was lying on Robin’s chest as Patrick sat by her side on the bed. Mac, Georgie, Maxie and Noah had been anxiously waiting to be let in to meet the newest member of the family. Mac poked his head in the door. “Can we come in now, please?” Patrick smiled. “Please do. I’m surprised you waited this long.” Robin smiled at Mac. “Do you want to hold your grandson?” Robin and Patrick considered Mac like a father and to them he would always be this little boy’s grandpa. “What do you think? Of course I do.” Mac expertly picked up the sleeping baby from Robin and cradled him gently in his arms. Maxie and Georgie happily cooed at the little boy while Noah patiently waited his turn. “Does he have a name or are we just calling him Baby Drake?” Noah asked, only half joking. Patrick looked at Robin and smiled. Smiling she told them the baby’s name. “Everyone, I would like you to meet Mackenzie Noah Scorpio-Drake.” Both men’s eyes began tearing up when it hit them that this little boy carried their names. Kelly came in at that moment. “A good, strong name for a good, strong boy. Little Mac here is 7 lbs, 9 oz, 22 inches long and HIV negative.” Robin cried with relief as Patrick held her. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Patrick watched Robin sleep after everyone had left. Mac had woken up starving a little while ago and he had given his little boy a bottle and was now walking him around the room, trying to get him to burp. “Stubborn little thing, aren’t you? You get that from your mother.” “Hey, your father’s just as bad.” Patrick smiled as he walked over to Robin. 6 months ago they had walked down the aisle in Mac’s backyard and it had been the happiest day of his life, until today. “He’s refuses to burp.” “Give him to me, maybe he just wants his mommy.” Patrick handed Mac over to her and he immediately burped. Robin laughed. “Hey, stop making Daddy look bad buddy. I’m trying to impress your mommy.” “Too late, I am already impressed.” She smiled at him. Patrick leaned over and kissed Robin. “I love you and our son, so much.” “And I love you and our son, so much.” She kissed him back and smiled at their sleeping boy. “Patrick, we’re a family now.” He smiled back at her. “Yes we are and I have never been happier. Get some sleep Dr. Scorpio-Drake, it’s been a long day and you need your rest. Doctor’s orders.” She gave a tired laugh. “Of course Dr. Drake. On one condition, you sleep with me.” “I thought you’d never ask.” Patrick laid down on the bed and, putting his arm around Robin, rubbing his little boy’s back as Robin held him. This was what it was all about, everything he hadn’t known he was missing – their family and the life they were starting together. Happier than he had ever imagined he could be, Patrick fell asleep with his wife and son. The End

So, not only are they not mentioning the fact that Robert had colon cancer while Robin was pregnant with Emma (it's canon, they discussed it on GH when he came back for Robin and Patrick's first successful wedding), they also aren't going to talk about the whole reason Robin was off camera for almost two years - resurrecting Helena and Stavros. Don't get me wrong, if I were Robin I would play as dumb as I could with crazy Olivia too, but she has to know that Robin was the one who brought them back to life. Robin really needs to start carrying mace or a stun gun - at this point she had been kidnapped and/or taken hostage more than anyone in recent history. How does Olivia capture all these people without help or breaking a sweat? I wonder if Olivia has noticed that Robin is pregnant or if she knows that Robin is HIV positive? Does Robin have her meds? Will it even be mentioned? Does anyone besides me care? All these questions, and more, will NOT be answered on the next episode of General Hospital. But still, I love having KMc on the show in these short stints. She looks wonderful and I love that they are giving Patrick and Robin another child. I'm sure it will be a boy but I would love it if Patrick, the former womanizer, had to deal with raising two daughters. Karmic justice indeed.

Actually, it kind of made sense to me that Brennan was able to open up to Sully in a way she couldn't with Booth. She knew she couldn't be his rock right now, she needed to process her own grief, so asking him to give her a little space was as much for him as for her. Brennan said it herself - she knew he was blaming himself and she couldn't deal with his guilt along with her own pain. I know a lot of people are bothered by the lack of physical interaction between Booth and Brennan but they have never been the most affectionate couple and that is something that tends to slack off during a relationship. I have never doubted that they love each other and will do anything for each other. To me, that is more important than kisses and hugs. As for the kids not being at the funeral - sometimes people do not bring children to funerals, allowing the children a chance to grieve on their own. It is not that unusual and maybe they didn't want the kids last memory of their Grandpa to be him in a coffin. I'm still enjoying this season and I am curious to see how they end all of the story lines. As long and they keep Booth and Brennan and Angela and Hodgins together, I'm good.

Chapter 46 Robin ran down the stairs in record time to where Patrick was. “Hi.” She spoke softly, shyly, still embarrassed by her earlier reaction. Patrick smile at her. “Will you please listen to me?” She nodded her head. “Good. I love you Robin and I want to be with you. I want to go to bed with you every night and know when I wake up you will still be there in the morning.” He took one of her hands in his. “I want to fight with you over what color to paint the kitchen and where to put knick knacks. I want to spend Sundays with you sitting around in our pajamas doing the New York Times crossword puzzle while watching old movies.” Robin started to interrupt him but he was on a roll. “Most of all, I want to share my life, my home and my name with you. I don’t want to marry you because you are pregnant, I want to marry you because I love you and, even if there were no baby, I would still want to marry you. I know you are scared and I understand why but I know that you are, without any doubt the love of my life. I said it before and I will keep saying it until you actually believe it – you are the first woman I have ever loved and I know you will be that last woman I will ever love.” Robin took a deep breath. “I really don’t know what I did to deserve you. You’re right, I am scared. All my life I have seen marriage after marriage fail. My parents, my dad and Holly, Uncle Mac and Felicia, Sonny and Carly, the list goes on and on. Hell, even Edward cheated on Lila! Some of them, like Edward and Lila and Monica and Alan, were able to move past it and build an amazing life together but those examples are few and far between.” “You had your parents and you saw a marriage and a love so strong that it nearly destroyed your father when she died. I don’t want to do that to you Patrick and the reality is that I will probably die before you.” “Whether we are married or not Robin, it will still have an affect on me. There are no guarantees in life. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow or, given that we live in Port Charles, a stray bullet. Losing you someday doesn’t scare me. Living without you now does.” Robin’s tears started dropping from her eyes. “I know you’re right but it’s just so hard to admit it.” She squeezed his hand. “You have given me so much that I feel like I am tempting fate to want more and yet I want more. I want to be with you and raise our child together. What I don’t want is to be afraid anymore. So, will you ask me again?” Patrick smiled and slowly got down on one knee. “Robin Scorpio, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” She put her hand over her heart. “With all my heart, yes.” Patrick slipped the ring on her finger, wrapped her up in his arms and joyfully kissed his fiancee.

Since the show refuses to acknowledge it - a few scene from Robert's return in 2008 after his chemotherapy treatments: Robin: You want to meet your grandpa? This is Robert Scorpio and if you need a hero ever, he is your guy. Later on... Robert: Rule 101 for surviving cancer is thou shalt enjoy life. Robert's colon cancer is canon, something started in Night Shift and brought over to GH proper - why aren't they talking about it now that Anna is battling cancer?

Chapter 45 Robin anxiously knocked on the door to the loft, unsure of what was waiting for her in there. What exactly did Kelly need her help with? The door opened and Kelly smiled at her friend. “Hey Robs, come on in.” Robin walked in and saw Lainey sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand. Lainey jumped up to hug her old roommate. “Robin, it is so good to see you. Do you want a glass of wine?" She wasn't supposed to know Robin was pregnant, but Patrick had let it slip out earlier. He made Lainey promise she wouldn't let on that she knew. Robin shook her head. "No thank you." Lainey smiled at her. "We were so scared for you.” Kelly closed the door and hugged Robin as well, nodding her head in agreement. “We are both thrilled that you are home, safe and sound.” She gestured to the couch. “Sit down, you look exhausted.” Robin sat down and looked around at her old place. The truth was she really didn’t spend a lot of time here. She moved in August but it wasn’t long until she was spending all her time at Patrick’s. Patrick and her moved in together, the first time, a few months later but she had some great memories of the place. One of her favorite memories helped her survive her time with Pete.This was where Patrick had recuperated from strep throat on the very couch she was sitting on now. He had ate up the attention he was getting from Kelly and Lainey and then told her the story about his mom. She laughed at the memory at first. Then she began to cry. Lainey immediately put her arms around Robin. “Robin, what is it?” “I blew it, I destroyed any chance I had at having a future with Patrick.” Kelly and Lainey looked at each other behind Robin’s back. Kelly mouthed “hormones” and Lainey decided to venture forth with the conversation carefully. “Robin, I am sure you didn’t.” Robin looked at her but didn’t look like she believed her. “Seriously, I have heard this from you before. Remember when Patrick told you he loved you and you didn’t respond in, let’s say, the way he had hoped.” Robin laughed softly. “Did he give up on you then? No, he made a grand romantic gesture. He made it his mission to prove to you he meant what he had said.” Kelly decided it was time to jump in to the conversation. “Lainey’s right. We have been watching the love story of Patrick and Robin since it started and let me tell you, there is only one way it will end – with the two of you married and raising baby Scorpio-Drakes.” Robin smiled at what her friends were saying. They were always one of the couple’s biggest supporters and she really needed to hear this right now. She knew Jason was right but he hadn’t been around for everything the way these ladies had been. Their words of comfort gave her a little more hope that it was all going to be alright. They sat there in silence for a moment until they heard music coming from outside. Robin got tears in her eyes. “This was the song Patrick played the night for me the night he told me he loved me.” Kelly walked over to the window. “Robin, I think you need to see this.” Robin walked over to her friend and looked out the window. There in the courtyard stood Patrick, once again playing their song and surrounded by candles but this time instead of a bouquet of flowers, he was holding the box with her engagement ring in his hand.

Okay, it is driving me crazy that Anna has a form of cancer and no one has mentioned the fact that Robin has been through this before when Robert had colon cancer. And, guess what, she was pregnant then too! Talk about history repeating itself. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that they are writing in Kimberly McCullough's real life pregnancy, but the coincidence is just astounding. Mac better watch out if they go for kid #3.

Chapter 44 Robin stared out at the water. She was at the docks, the place she came to think and gain perspective, something she sorely needed at this moment. How could she do it – how could she tell Patrick no? She wanted to marry him more than anything and yet she let her fear take hold and make the decision for her. It was fear talking when she accused Patrick of only wanting to marry her because of the baby. The truth was that marrying Patrick scared the hell out of her. She had never seen a long lasting, happy marriage. Her parents were only briefly married and fought constantly. Uncle Mac had given Felicia everything and she had left him flat, leaving him to raise Maxie and Georgie by himself. Monica and Alan had been a constant back and forth, same with Tony and Bobbie. Even Edward had cheated on Lila - why should she have any hope that she and Patrick would turn out any different? “Hey, what are you doing out here by yourself?” Jason was surprised that Patrick had let Robin out of the house alone. She didn't look at him as she spoke, just kept her focus on the water. “Hello, yeah, I guess I just needed a little time to think.” Jason looked at her carefully – something was weighing on her mind. “You want to tell me what happened? You know I’m not going to judge and I have a strong shoulder to lean on.” He stepped in front of her so she couldn’t ignore him. “Did Patrick do something to hurt you?” He honestly didn’t believe that but decided to cut to the chase. Robin felt the tears welling up in her eyes. “God no, if anything I have hurt him.” She looked at Jason, tears finally spilling out. Jason quickly put his arms around her and held her for a minute, then gently moved her over to the bench to sit down. She looked back out at the water. “Patrick asked me to marry him tonight.” Jason took in what she had just said. He wasn’t surprised, he could see that was where they were headed months ago, he just didn’t understand why Robin was so upset. “I’m guessing you didn’t say yes.” She shook her head. “Why Robin?” “Because the only reason he asked is because I’m pregnant!” She blurted out without thinking. “I’m sorry, we aren’t telling anyone yet.” Jason stared her straight in the eyes. “Are you happy about it?” “The happiest moment of my life was when I found out that I was carrying Patrick’s child.” A smile broke out over her face of pure joy. He couldn't help but grimace a little inside - he had never made her that happy. Swallowing his pride, he continued to gently question her. “And I take it Patrick is happy about this as well?” “Over the moon about it. Already planning the next 18 years of his or hers life.” Robin laughed remembering their talk in the hospital. “Robin, did you know about the baby before Pete took you?” She shook her head no. “Then I guarantee you that he is not proposing just because you are pregnant.” She looked at him curiously. “How can you be so sure?” He took a deep breath and decided to tell her a story. “Did Patrick ever tell you that I was the one who told him about your being shot?” Robin raised her eyebrows at him. “Yeah, I didn’t think so. I was trying to get the information about the briefcase out of Skye while Alcazar was in surgery. Patrick came in to explain why they had to take a break, something about more scans and shrapnel, when Spinelli called with the news. Robin, I have never seen that man shaken by anything but he was ready to leave a patient on the table to get to you that day. I had to talk him down and back into the operating room and it wasn’t easy.” Jason gave Robin a moment to think about what he had said before making his point. “I have spent a lot of time with Patrick over these past few months. He has been consumed with you and your protection, keeping you safe. When Pete took you, I saw a man who had just lost his entire world. While we were driving to Pete's place we had plenty of time to talk and he told me that he would never let you go once he got you home. I knew in that moment that he had every intention of marrying you as soon as possible. Baby or no baby Robin, he would have asked you to marry him.” Robin began crying. “Well it doesn’t matter now. Patrick and I had a chance and I just blew it. He trusted me with his heart and I stomped all over it.” Jason shook his head at her. “Trust me Robin, Patrick isn’t the kind of man to just give up. It may not be tonight but I guarantee you that he will propose again and when he does, I know that you are going to say yes because he loves you more than anything and you love him more than anything. Am I right?” Robin smiled and nodded her head. “I do.” Just then her phone rang. It was Kelly. “Hey, what’s going on?” Kelly spoke quickly. “Yeah Robin, I need your help with something – could you come by the loft in about an hour?” Robin wasn’t sure what Kelly needed help with but she wanted to delay going home for a little bit longer so she readily agreed. “Of course I will. I could use a little girl talk tonight anyway.” “Great! See you in a little bit.” She hung up the phone before Robin could change her mind. Robin shut her phone and turned her attention back to Jason. “Well, I think I am going to get some hot chocolate from Kelly’s and head over there.” She hugged Jason. “Thank you for everything. I am so grateful for your help and how you have been there for Patrick and me over these past few months. We both appreciate it.” He winked at her. “Well you can pay me back by making sure I get an invite to the wedding.” She laughed. “I think that can be arranged.” They turned away from each other to go their separate ways but Jason had to say one more thing. “Oh and Robin, congratulations. You were a wonderful mother to Michael and I know you are going to be a wonderful mother to this child.” Robin was honestly touched by his words. “Thank you, Jason.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "She's on her way." Kelly looked at Patrick. Patrick smiled at the doctor. "Great! My dad will be here in a few minutes with the supplies and I just need you and Lainey to keep her busy until everything is ready." "No problem." Kelly would do anything to help out Patrick and Robin. She had never believed in true love until she met these two crazy doctors. "And you know the signal?" He needed to make sure everyone was on the same page - it was the only way he would be able to pull this off. "Yep. Don't worry, I'm sure that everything is going to turn out exactly the way it should." She smiled at him. "Now go and get everything set up." He left the loft and went to meet his dad. In less than an hour, Plan B would be put in motion.

As a horror movie geek, I occasionally go to horror film conventions so I get their newsletters when they put together their panels and guests. Guess who's coming to Texas Frightmare in May for their first convention appearance ever? Rick Hearst (Ric). RH starred in the cult classic Brain Damage in 1988 back when he was still known as Rick Herbst. http://www.texasfrightmareweekend.com/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094793/?ref_=nv_sr_1

A little Scrubs Valentine's day throwback for my fellow fans - I love jealous Patrick.

Thanks LeftPhalange - I already subscribe to them lol. Love their discussion of Deep Blue Sea with Paul F. Thompkins.

I like it but once you have seen The Apple, you cannot unsee The Apple. You have been warned lol.

Watching the Rifftrax version of the horrible musical "The Apple" and I thought that one of the dancers looked familiar - I was right. Finola Hughes is a dancer in the film. Here she is briefly highlighted in one of the musical numbers Speed. It happens at 1:05 if you don't want to sit through the whole horrible number. And yes, that is Catherine Mary-Stewart (ex-Kayla, DAYS) as the lead.

Some more Robert and Anna scenes from Night Shift: Anna: Robin called me. Robert: Oh. Aw. Anna: [Sighs] You know what's so funny? While I've got my dancing shoes all picked out, she's actually worried about you. Robert: Yeah. She's like that. Anna: I, however, know better. You have died plenty of times, and we still can't get rid of you. Robert: That's 'cause I know you would be devastated. Anna: Clearly. Robert: Oh, you gotta love doctors. Especially the one our daughter's running with. Anna: He's a good guy. Robert: She has horrible taste in men. Anna: Well, she takes after her mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Anna: Yeah, you don't know. Some men change after they get married. Robin: Ahem. Robert: Didn't happen to me. Anna: No, no. You were always insufferable. You just got more so. Don't listen to your father, 'cause it just-- Robert: Don't listen to your mother. She's addicted to marriage. Anna: Well, I was trying to get it right. Actually, I was more addicted to the honeymoons. Remember that villa in Italy? Robert: Ahh. Yeah, the hot springs. For 3 weeks, I was a--I was a different man. Robin: Ok, thank you. Burning a hole in the eardrums here. [Sighs] How are you?

Chapter 43 “What the hell just happened?” Patrick sat by himself in their apartment in disbelief. Flashback “Robin, will you marry me?” Patrick was down on one knee in front of her with an engagement ring sitting in his hand, nestled in a velvet box. “Patrick, I…” Robin suddenly jumped up and ran into the bathroom. He heard her getting sick and cringed. Walking over to the closed door, he knocked on it. “Robin, are you okay? Is there anything I can do?” “No, I’m fine. Morning sickness, it isn’t just for mornings you know.” Robin attempted to make a joke but she knew she had failed big time. She walked over to the sink and brushed her teeth and washed her face before going back in to face Patrick. Patrick was pacing in front of the door when she came out. He hugged her tight. “Robin, are you ok?” He led her over to the couch. “Sit down, put your feet up.” “Patrick, please calm down.” If this was how he was going to be for the rest of the pregnancy, it was going to be a very long 7 months. “I just want to make sure you’re ok.” “I’m fine. I’m just sorry I ruined your lovely dinner.” She was avoiding mentioning the proposal. “Just the dinner?” Patrick wasn’t fooled for a moment. “Robin, this wasn’t exactly the response I was hoping for. You want to tell me what is going here?” Robin closed her eyes and shook her head. “Look Patrick, I know you want to do the right thing by me and the baby but we don’t have to get married just because I am pregnant. I didn’t do this on purpose and I was certainly not trying to trap you. I know how you feel about marriage and I’m fine with it.” Patrick couldn’t believe it – she was turning him down! “Robin, I used to feel that way about marriage. Now I can’t imagine anything better than spending the next 40 years with you by my side as my wife.” Robin really wanted to believe him but she knew in her heart he was only proposing because she was pregnant, not because he honestly wanted to marry her. “Patrick, be honest with me. Would you be sitting here with a ring in your pocket right now if I weren’t pregnant?” “Well, maybe not right now, but…” “Exactly, you are only proposing because I am pregnant!” She took his hands in hers. “I love you and if there were no baby, I would say yes without hesitation but I don’t think you really want to get married, I think you are doing it because you think you have to.” Patrick was exasperated. “That is not what is happening.” She stood up and put her hands on her hips, glaring at him. “Did you or did you not just admit that you would not be proposing tonight if I weren’t pregnant.” “Yes but…” He had not meant it the way it came out. “Then there is nothing else left to say.” She grabbed her jacket, near tears, and headed to the door. Robin’s insecurities had just popped back up in full force and the walls he had broken down over the past two years were back up and seemed to be stronger than ever. Keeping her emotions in check, Robin opened the door. “I am going to take a walk so we can both forget that this entire conversation happened. I love you, but you and I both know that marriage just isn’t in the cards for us - ever.” He watched speechless as she walked out the door. End Flashback He had meant that he might have waited a couple of months but the truth was that he wanted to marry Robin with or without the baby. He picked up his phone and made the call he knew he needed to make. “Dad, time to implement Plan B.”

Chapter 42 Patrick looked around the apartment, trying to make sure that everything was just right. The table was set and a carafe of orange juice was chilling in a bucket normally reserved for wine. Folic acid was good for the baby and went well with the pancakes he was making. He had briefly considered candles and then decided against it. Pete had tried to kill Robin with a room full of candles and kerosene and the last thing he wanted was to remind her of Pete and what happened the other day. It was hard to believe that only 2 days ago Robin was nearly killed by that bastard. He shook with anger at the memory of Pete. One of the first things he had done today after Robin had left was to get rid of anything that had any connection to the bastard. Pictures, books, their college yearbooks, any presents that Pete may have given him, all gone. He was dead and Patrick wanted to make sure that any ties to the man were gone too. Also, he needed to make sure that Robin didn’t stumble across them accidently. That was in the past and Patrick was determined to keep it there. He felt for the velvet box in his pocket. He was nervous as hell but also excited beyond belief. 2 years ago, hell, 2 months ago if someone had told him he would be getting ready to propose to Robin he would have told them they were insane. Patrick Drake would never settle down, right? What a joke – he had been such a coward, hiding from the future but almost losing Robin had forced him to be brave and embrace it. His future was forever linked with hers now. Maybe it always had been. He couldn’t really remember her not being in his life. The life he had led before she had come into it had been uncomplicated, unchallenging and empty. It still amazed him that 7 words had completely changed his life. “I need a miracle and you’re it.” He smiled, remembering her barging into the OR. It didn’t even phase her that he was having sex with a nurse on the operating table. And that was what it was, sex, because he had never made love with anyone else. She was his first. And with that, his entire life changed forever. She dragged him kicking and screaming into adulthood. She fought with him, refused to be taken in by his charm, good looks or even that devastating Drake smile. She was challenging, complicated, passionate and brought out emotions in him that he didn’t think he had. The truth was that she was his first love and he knew she would be his last. Robin texted him to tell him she was on her way so he began making the pancakes. He was flipping over the last pancake when he heard the door open. He looked up to see Robin standing there looking at the table set up for their dinner, well breakfast. He put the pancake on the plate and walked over to her. After helping her off with her coat he kissed her and then smiled at her warmly. “Welcome home.” “I could get use to that kind of welcome.” She was a little tired but starving. “Please tell me supper is ready?” “Pancakes, sausage and fresh squeezed orange juice all ready for you babe," He gently touched her belly "and baby.” He led her over to the table and pulled out her chair for her. She sat down and he joined her at the table, taking time to fill both their plates with food and glasses with the orange juice. She smiled over the table at him as she drank her juice. “Fresh squeezed huh?” “Only the best for you and our child. Now tell me about your day with Mac and the girls.” Robin began recounting the day, shopping with the girls, lunch with Mac and fighting the urge to tell them about the baby. They had agreed to wait until after the first trimester to tell everyone to be on the safe side. “So what did you do today? Besides making an amazing supper for us of course.” She laughed and he just stared her. She was so beautiful when she laughed. “Oh, a little of this and a little of that. Are you done or do you want me to make some more for you?” He quickly changed the subject and hoped she wouldn’t notice. It didn’t work, she noticed. “Smooth Drake. Is there something you want to tell me?” “No. I just cleaned a few things up and did a little shopping, no big deal. Now, are you still hungry? I really can make you so more pancakes.” “Nope, I’m good. Now, you want to tell me what’s got you so nervous?” “What makes you think I’m nervous?” There were times he hated how well she knew him. “Well, for starters, your knees were shaking so bad that the table shook all through dinner.” She put her elbows on the table and set her chin on her hands. “So what is it Drake, are you having second thoughts about the baby?” “God no Robin, I couldn’t be more excited about it.” He couldn’t even believe she asked him that. “Ok, then what is it? What has got you so scared?” “You.” Robin looked at him in shock. “Let me explain.” He scooted his chair around so he was close enough to touch her. She leaned back in her chair and he took her hands in his. “Robin, I love you so much. These past few months have been crazy to say the least but you have been my constant through all of it. We have been through so much in such a short time and yet here we are, still in love, stronger than ever and creating a family. It is more than I could have ever hoped or dreamed of having.” “The truth is that I never had any dreams or plans for the future until you. I thought I was happy living day to day, by myself, but it was a lie. I didn’t know what true happiness was until you came barreling into my life, all full of fire and fury, determined to prove that there was more to me than the shallow, arrogant bastard you first met. And you were right, sure he was buried deep inside but that was because there was only one person who could bring him out - you.” Robin could feel the tears filling her eyes. “Patrick…” “Let me finish. You are the most amazing, frustrating, beautiful, kind, patient, and loving woman I have ever known. You challenge me to be a better doctor and a better man. You force me to face my fears and overcome them. You are the reason I am no longer a playboy, I am a man. A man who loves you completely, beyond reason.” Robin was silently crying, lovingly looking at this amazing man. Her look turned to confusion then shock when Patrick slid off his chair and got down on one knee. He pulled a velvet box out of his pocket and opened it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. “Robin, will you marry me?”

Chapter 41 “Patrick!” Robin woke up screaming and Patrick quickly wrapped his arms around her, talking to her gently. “Robin, Robin, it’s okay.” He gently rubbed her arms as held her against him. “It’s okay. It’s over – Pete’s dead and we are at home together.” She calmed down and slowed down her breathing. She was home with Patrick. She was home with him and they were having a baby. “You want to tell me what your nightmare was about?” He didn’t want to push her but he knew it was better for her to get it out. She took a deep breath and leaned into him. He laid back against the headboard so she was lying with her left cheek against his chest as his arms held her close. “I was back in that warehouse. He dropped the candle and smiled at me. I was trying to get away, trying to get back to you.” A tear fell from her eye. “It was so real – I could smell the smoke and kerosene. I swear I could feel the heat.” She looked up at him. “You know what – I could feel you the other day. I don’t know how but before I lost consciousness, I knew you were there. Somehow, I knew you were going to get me out of there in time.” He smiled at her and stroked her cheek. “I will always be there for you.” His hand dropped down to her belly. “You and our child.” They were laying in complete serenity when Robin’s phone rang, breaking the moment. She looked down at the caller ID. “Uncle Mac.” She answered the phone. “Hi!” Patrick listened to her half of the conversation as he got out of bed to get dressed. “Yes, actually I am feeling great.” “You, Georgie and Maxie are going to what me today! Yes, kidnapping me was a bad way to put it.” She looked at Patrick who rolled his eyes but then nodded his head and did a waving motion with his hands. “Go.” Robin looked at him strangely. “Uh, okay, give me about 20 minutes and I will meet you at your place.” She hung up the phone. “Are you sure you want me to go?” “Want, no. But your family loves you and they were just as scared as I was while you were missing." He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss. "They love you and if they want to spend the day with you, who I am to stop them.” He went into the bathroom and started the shower. “Besides, this will give me time to plan the perfect celebration pancake dinner for us.” Robin started to get ready. “Should I be scared? You can go a little overboard with the romantic gestures.” “Hey, not feeling the love here.” He came back in the room and hugged her. “Now go, have fun with your Uncle and your cousins and I will see you tonight.” He kissed her one more time and went to get into the shower. “I love you.” “I love you too.” Robin got dressed and headed out the door to meet up with her family. After hearing her leave Patrick came out of the bathroom and made a phone call. “Hey Mac, thanks – I appreciate your getting her out of here for the day.” “Don't make me regret this Drake." Mac shook his head. "I hope I’m doing the right thing.” Mac was surprised that Patrick wanted Robin out of the apartment so soon after getting her home. “You are Mac, trust me." He hung up the phone and smiled. "Hopefully tonight will be a night Robin and I will never forget.”

Patrick's beyond reason speech - keep in mind he never heard Robert say it. Robin: I thought we promised epiphany that we would go easy on the P.D.A.S. Patrick: I don't care - I have to tell you this. Yesterday when I woke up, I thought the worse thing could happen to me was to find out I was H.I.V. Positive. Robin: Mm-hmm? Patrick: But I was wrong. When I thought I lost you, I was in complete panic. I had never felt so alone, so helpless in my life - at least, not since I lost my mom. And I realized that living with H.I.V. would be a blessing compared to living without you. So I'll go take the test, I'll go to the chapel and say a prayer, I'll paint the kitchen that awful yellow because I love you beyond reason.

I'm team Robert and Anna too! This scene, despite the crappy way the characters were brought back, is great because of the way they describe their love for each other. Robin: Will you guys stop? I have a question for you. Did you two ever love each other, like normal people? Robert: More than you'll ever know. Anna: Robert is right. I did want him from the moment I laid eyes on him. But it wasn't just physical. Look, I know. You asked, ok? So suck it up. I felt connected to someone else for the first time in my life - deeply connected. Robert felt like roots for me, like home. And I would have to say that no other man has ever really affected me quite the same way. I would have to say that. But you know, I take great pride in my independence and Robert is the only man I've ever allowed to rescue me. Hes the only man I've ever needed. We had an incredible life. We shared adventures that most people can only just imagine. And I think we experienced a once-in-a-lifetime love. Right? Robert: That's right. Anna: Right. But I think what I would have to say the greatest thing that we've ever done together is to create our extraordinary daughter and for that reason alone I, I'm really sort of thankful for the day that he walked into my life. Ok? So, there - now you know. Robert: Um - I tend to disagree with your mother on principle. This time she's got me. Without question, you are our greatest achievement. Not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for that. You said before, how much did we love each other? I loved this woman beyond reason. Robin: I can see it from both of you, so why -- Robert: Why couldn't we get it together? Oh, I mean, your mother's independence, my need to compete. But I can say at this moment, at any time, Anna Devane still takes my breath away. Ok, enough soul-baring for one day. I'm out of here. You can pick over my bones, if you wish. Anna: Well -- Robin: You still love him. Anna: Of course I do.

Robin and Patrick have a picnic in the hospital. I love that she doesn't get distracted by his moves at all - she knows exactly what he is doing and calls him out on it. She even turns the tables on him by getting the cheat sheet and beating him at his own game.

Chapter 40 “Welcome home Dr. Scorpio.” Patrick carried Robin into their apartment, while she carried the Chinese food. “Who knew you were such a romantic?” She giggled happily as he set her down on their couch and she placed the bag on the ottoman. “What can I say – you bring it out in me.” He began to pull out the food. “Chopsticks or do you want a fork?” She scowled at him. “Please - chopsticks of course.” He shook his head at her and laughed. “Oh, of course.” The settled on the couch, each sitting on the opposite end with their legs intertwined. It was quiet dinner but a comfortable one. He kept staring at her, watching her eat her Schezuan Beef piece by piece with expertise. “You make it look so easy.” “What?” “Using those chopsticks.” “Why thank you – it really is a gift.” She teased him with false sincerity. She thought it was cute that he was trying to find some small way to compliment her. “It’s all in the wrist.” “I had no idea.” He put down his food and slid over the couch to her. “I think I need to study this technique up close.” He sat right next to her. “Maybe you could demonstrate while sharing a little of your food with me?” She smiled at him. “I think that could be arranged.” She expertly dug into the box and dug out a piece of beef and broccoli. “Notice the ability to grab more than just one piece of food.” She picked it up and carefully moved it over to him. “Follow the steady hands as they carry the food over to you without dropping anything.” He leaned over a little further and she carefully held it up to his lips. He opened up and ate the bite she offered. “As I said, you make it look easy. But I can think of a better use for those talented hands.” She raised her eyebrows at him. “Oh, really?” He gave her a full smile, dimple dancing at her. “Yes, really.” Leaning over he kissed her and took the carton of Chinese food from her, placing it back on the ottoman. He then took her hands and placed them around his waist. “See, much better use of your hands.” “Well when you’re right, you’re right.” She kissed him and pulled him closer. They leaned back on the couch, his body covering hers protectively. He stopped for a moment, gently running his hands through her hair. “We need to celebrate – how about I make you whatever you want tomorrow night for dinner?” Robin giggled as she nodded her head. “Well, since you only know how to make a couple of things I guess I’ll go with either pancakes or French toast.” Patrick glared at her. “Hey, I can make other things.” “Yeah, but I want something hot for supper, not peanut butter and jelly.” She smiled at him. “You make the best pancakes I have ever had and it has been way too long since we have had them." She rubbed her belly. "I think our baby would love to have them too.” He nodded his head in agreement. “Pancakes it is. Now where were we?” Robin pulled him into her again. “I think right about here.” “Fantastic.” Patrick kissed her once more as they reacquainted themselves with the couch's seven points of comfort.
