GH Fanworks/Fanfic/Fanart: We Do It Better

[cmahorror]

Chapter 11

 

Patrick looked around the room trying to figure out what the hell had happened. He had been headed to his car in the parking garage and then everything went black. When he woke up, he was in a cold gray room and the door was locked. He had been sitting there for a few minutes when the door opened and a familiar man walked in.

 

“You and I need to have a little talk Drake. For starters, you need to explain to me why you broke my daughter’s heart.” Robert had taken Anna’s call very seriously and had immediately begun investigating what Patrick had been doing for the past year and a half. He had discovered some very interesting things.

 

Patrick stared at the man. His father-in-law had always been very protective of Robin but it had been over a year since the divorce - why was he just doing this now? “I don’t know what to tell you Robert.”

 

“Oh I think you do – for starters, why are you working for that bastard Victor Cassadine?”

 

Patrick decided to deny, he didn’t know how far Victor’s reach went. “I don’t know what you are talking about Robert."

 

“Please, I’m not my daughter. You may be able to lie to her but not to me. I can look at you and see you are miserable without her. I’ve been watching you and there is more to this divorce than you are saying so why don’t you just admit it and maybe I can help you.” Robert could see Patrick’s fear lying beneath his false bravado. Robert figured Victor was using Robin to get Patrick to do something for him, he just needed the man to admit it.

 

Robert watched Patrick as he looked around the suspiciously. “I promise you, it’s safe here. It is just you and me so tell me the truth.”

 

Patrick was scared. One wrong move and Robin and Emma would pay. “Robert I can’t…”

 

Robert got in Patrick’s face and began yelling. “You can and you will!”

 

“No! I will not get them hurt because I messed up. He will kill them Robert and I will not let that happen. I would rather live without them than risk their lives!” Patrick stopped, realizing what he had just said. He sat down on the cot in the room and placed his head in his hands. “He’ll kill them Robert, he’s watching them all the time.”

 

Robert shook his head. He and Anna should have known something was going on – Patrick loved their daughter and granddaughter too much to just walk away for no reason. And there was a good reason, the best reason of all, he left them to save them. “Damn it, I hate when Anna’s right.”

 

Patrick looked at Robert curiously. “What are you talking about?”

 

“Anna has always said that you and I are very much alike – this just proves it. I stayed away from my daughter for 15 years to protect her and it about killed me. You have stayed away to protect Robin and Emma and it is killing you. I think it is time for you to tell me everything so we can figure a way out of this mess for you.” Robert sat down in a chair in the room. Patrick was about to start talking when the door opened and Anna came in.

 

“A little extreme, don’t you think Robert.” Anna sat down in the chair next to Robert and smiled at Patrick.

 

“It worked didn’t it. Drake here is about to explain why he left Robin and why he is working for Victor Cassadine. Go ahead son.”

 

Patrick sighed and began his story. “Victor came to me and told me that he needed my help. He had three people who needed extensive and intricate brain surgery done and I am the best. I refused but he brought out a tablet and showed me a live feed of Emma and Robin playing at home. Outside he had a man waiting to take them. I was given a choice, either I divorce Robin and go with him or he would kidnap Robin and Emma and hold them until I agreed to do the surgeries.”

 

“Why divorce Robin?” Anna was confused about this part.

 

“I think to hurt her. After all, the Cassadine-Scorpio feud is not a new thing. So I agreed. I did the surgeries and have been doing regular check-ups on them. I keep hoping that it will all be over but Victor seems intent on keeping me under his thumb.”

 

Robert shook his head. “Why didn’t you come to us? We would have protected our girls and you.”

 

Patrick gave a sad laugh. “Because Victor is the head of the WSB.”

 

Robert and Anna looked at each other incredulously – that explained everything right there. “We didn’t know, believe me Patrick, we didn’t know that bastard was in charge now.” Anna looked at Robert. “You need to get in touch with Frisco and see if we can start a little revolution inside the Bureau.”

 

Anna looked at Patrick. “We will fix this, I promise you. Is that everything?”

 

Patrick shook his head. “There’s one more thing – it’s about Zach.”

Chapter 12

 

Robin came out of her bedroom and did a little twirl for her daughter. “As requested, the white sundress.”

 

Emma giggled and Brenda smiled at her. Brenda had come to town to help Robin finish packing for the move back to Port Charles. “Oh Robs, its perfect!”

 

Robin looked at Brenda questioningly. “For a walk in the park? I still don’t understand why we need to get dressed up.”

 

“Because it’s one of your last days in Paris with your best friend and beautiful daughter and we need to let the men of Paris know exactly what they will be missing when we leave.” Brenda and Emma laughed again before dragging Robin out of the house.

 

It was gorgeous outside, a perfect spring day in the city. They strolled down the street to the park where Robin, Emma and Zach had had several picnics. Robin smiled at the memory as she followed Emma and Brenda down the tree lined sidewalk.

 

"What, or should I say who, are you thinking about?" Brenda nudged Robin back to reality. "A certain security consultant who is currently setting up house in Port Charles?"

 

Brenda had come to really love Zach. After Patrick had hurt Robin so badly, Brenda was afraid that Robin would never take a chance on love again. Zach had been a wonderful surprise and it was obvious to Brenda that he would do anything for Robin and Emma.

 

"Maybe." Robin sighed. "We had several picnics here. I can't wait to see him."

 

"Well, maybe you won't have to wait as long as you thought." Brenda pointed to a bench a little way down the sidewalk.

 

“Zach!” Emma yelled out and ran over to Robin’s boyfriend. He picked the little girl up and walked over to Robin and Brenda.

 

Robin was thrilled – she had missed him. “You sneak! Why do I have a feeling my daughter and best friend knew you were here?” She walked over and he gave her a long kiss hello.

 

Emma jumped down from Zach’s arms and ran over to Brenda so Zach could pull Robin in closer. “Surprised?”

 

Robin smiled at him. “In the best possible way. I have missed you.”

 

“Good because I have missed you and Emma too.” He held Robin tight and just stared at her. “I need to tell you something.”

 

Robin raised her eyebrows at him. “Is it a bad thing?”

 

“No, at least I hope not. Robin, you have changed my life. I was alone and had given up on ever being with someone and then you swept into my life and changed everything. You with your beautiful smile, your caring nature and big heart. Every day you captivate and awe me in a million different ways. You are a brilliant doctor, an amazing mother, a caring friend and a supportive and loving girlfriend.”

 

Zach gently stroked her face. “I have spent my entire life concentrated on me. I had been alone for so long that I didn’t realize I was missing anything until I met you. From the moment I saw you in that office I knew we were meant to be together – it was almost like I have known you my entire life and I know you felt it too.”

 

Robin nodded – she had felt like she knew Zach when she first met him.

 

“I know I am going to spend the rest of my life with you and, more importantly, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know we said we were going to go slow but you and Emma mean everything to me and I don’t see the point in waiting for us to start the rest of our lives together.”

 

Zach got down on one knee and pulled out a ring from his pocket. “Robin Anna Devane Scorpio, will you marry me?”

 

Robin stood there in shock, unable to believe this was happening. She looked at Emma and Brenda. Emma was nodding her head excitedly and smiling like crazy while Brenda stood there with tears of joy in her eyes. Zach was right, they did agree to go slow but she was tired of playing it safe. “Yes.”

 

Zach jumped up and pulled Robin into his arms and swung her around. “Yes?” Robin nodded happily. “You said yes?” He looked at Brenda and Emma. “She said yes!”

 

Emma came running over and hugged her mom. “Emma, did you help plan this?”

 

Emma nodded while Zach explained. “I asked Emma for her permission first before I even thought about proposing. She even helped me pick out your ring.”

 

“You have good taste baby.” Robin said, admiring the ring on her finger. “This was quite the surprise.”

 

Zach nodded at Brenda and Emma and they took off down the lane. Zach took Robin by the hand and led her slowly after them. “It’s not over yet.”

 

A minute later they came to a clearing and Robin looked around in amazement at what lay before her. “Oh my God!”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 13

 

Robin felt Zach nudge her gently. “Hey, we’re getting ready to land.”

 

She smiled at him and gave him a kiss. “We’re almost home. Should we wake her?”

 

Emma was sleeping in the window seat and had been out since they left Paris. Zach smiled at Robin. “We probably should. Don’t want her cranky for her dad.”

 

Emma was going straight over to Patrick’s after they landed. Robin’s car was at the airport so she was dropping Zach off at home and then Emma and her were headed over to his house. Zach gently spoke to the little girl. “Emma? Emma sweetie, we’re almost home.”

 

Emma rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. “We’re home!”

 

Robin laughed. “Yes, baby, we’re home.”

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Patrick paced the floor while waiting for Emma and Robin to get there from the airport. Although it killed him, he could not tell Robin what was going on. Anna and Robert wanted to make sure that Victor was neutralized and the girls were safe first.

 

The front door swung open and Emma ran through the door. “Daddy!”

 

Patrick smiled and picked up his daughter in his arms, squeezing her tight. “Welcome home baby girl. You have no idea how much I have missed you.”

 

Emma hugged him back. “I’ve missed you too Daddy. I have so much to tell you…”

 

Robin interrupted. “Why don’t you put your clothes away first – I want to talk to Daddy for a minute.” Robin winked at Emma and Emma smiled at her.

 

“Okay mommy. I love you.” Emma grabbed her suitcase and ran to her room.

 

Patrick looked at Robin. “I’m glad you did that – I have something I want to talk to you about.” Patrick sighed and took Robin’s hand in his. “I want you to move back in with me.”

 

Robin pulled her hand back and shook her head. “No. Why would you even ask me to do that? You know Zach and I have a place just a few blocks from here.”

 

“This is your home Robin, our home. We should be here together as a family.” Patrick was practically begging her.

 

“Something you should have thought about before you divorced me.” Robin took a deep breath. “You wanted this – it was your choice. I know you are surprised that I found someone else but you really don’t have room to judge me. If I am not mistaken, you said I do to Sabrina less than 2 years after you thought I had died.”

 

Patrick cringed. That was not one of his finest moments. “I know but…”

 

Robin stopped him. “You know what - that is neither here nor there anymore but there is something I need to talk to you about – it’s about Zach.”

 

“Robin…”

 

“No, you need to try and get along with him. He told me about you stopping by the house. How you two had a beer together and then you ran out when you found out he was moving here with us. I don’t know why you are surprised – we were already living together.”

 

“I just thought…”

 

“No – you are going to listen to me for once. I know you were upset about the concert and I have already talked to Emma and assured her that you want to hear about everything, even if you can’t be a part of it. Zach does not want to take your place - he just wants to be there for her too. He knows Emma has one dad and that is you Patrick. He will never take your place with her.”

 

Patrick couldn’t help it, he had to comment. “Just with you, right?”

 

Robin glared at him. “Again, your choice.” She handed him an envelope. “Here are the tickets and backstage passes for you and Emma – Zach wanted to make sure you got them in plenty of time to make any additional arrangements you needed.”

 

He hated this. “Please tell him thank you.”

 

“Here’s an idea – why don’t you tell him yourself?” Robin was getting extremely frustrated with her ex-husband.

 

“Because I don’t want to talk to him. I don’t want to deal with him at all.” Patrick didn’t want to see the man sleeping with the woman he loved.

 

“Too bad – you have to try Patrick.” Robin was beyond frustrated with him.

 

“Why? Because he’s your boyfriend?” Patrick sneered at her sarcastically.

 

That was the last straw for Robin. “No, because he’s my husband.”

[cmahorror]

First off, I want to thank everyone for the likes and reading this story. I appreciate it but I am curious what you think about it. Is is completely ridiculous or do you like the scenario I have come up with? What do you think of the changes I have made? It will help me to know if I have gone too far lol.

 

Thanks!

Chapter 14

 

Patrick stared at Robin in disbelief. “He’s your what?”

 

Robin held up her left hand so he could see her rings. “My husband. We eloped 3 days ago.”

 

Patrick sat down on the couch and put his head in hands – this couldn’t be happening.

 

“It was a surprise set up by Zach with some help from Brenda and Emma.” Robin sat down next to him and tried to smooth over the situation. She had not meant to tell him that way but the man infuriated her so much sometimes and she lost control.

 

“Emma helped?” Patrick was still in a state of shock.

 

“Yes. Zach asked her for her permission to marry me and even let her help pick out our rings. She was so excited about the whole thing.” Robin hoped that knowing about Emma’s part would ease his pain a little bit.

 

“Do your parents know?” He couldn’t believe Anna and Robert wouldn’t tell him about this.

 

“No, we’re going to have dinner with them, Mac and Felicia in just a little bit so we can tell them. I know they’ll be disappointed that they missed the ceremony but it all happened so fast…”

 

“Why? Why did it happen so fast?” Patrick was trying to understand how things had gotten so far so quickly.

 

She looked at him for a moment. “I’m not pregnant if that’s what you’re thinking.”

 

Patrick shook his head. The thought hadn’t even crossed his mind but he was glad to hear she wasn’t pregnant.

 

“Zach wants to spend the rest of his life with me and Emma and he saw no reason why we should wait to officially start it. Emma’s excitement and involvement only proved how right this was for us and I agreed with Zach, why wait?” Robin really didn’t want to hurt Patrick but she needed him to understand she did not regret marrying Zach.

 

“It doesn’t matter – you’ll move in here and we’ll get it annulled…” Patrick stood up and pulled out his phone.

 

Robin jumped up from the couch. “What do you think you are doing?”

 

Patrick started pushing buttons. “Calling Alexis to get the annulment started.”

 

Robin grabbed the phone from him. “No – I am not getting an annulment and I am not moving in here. I am going to go out that door and home to my husband and I am sorry you cannot accept that.”

 

“You don’t understand – we can claim fraud and…”

 

“What the hell are you talking about? There is no fraud – Zach and I love each other.” Robin could not believe he was doing this to her.

 

“You don’t understand, Zach is…” Patrick’s phone rang. He grabbed it back from Robin, looked at the number and sighed. “Yes. Of course.”

 

Taking advantage of the distraction, Robin headed to the door. Patrick looked at her. “I know you are not happy about this but I need you to pretend for Emma’s sake. I’ll see you later.”

 

She walked out the door and Patrick returned to his phone call. “You son of a bitch! How could you do this?”

 

Victor laughed. “I take it you are not happy for the newlyweds?”

 

“She has no idea who she is married to – not a clue.” Patrick began pacing the living room.

 

“Well maybe on some level she does. After all, they were always close and loved each other for years. What’s upsetting you more – that she doesn’t know or that maybe she does and is thrilled to finally be with him again?” Victor was enjoying this conversation greatly.

 

“That was over and done years before I came into the picture. Robin loves me; you and I both know it.”

 

“And yet Robin is married to him. She really should thank you for bringing him back to her. I will see you tomorrow for our check-ups.” Victor hung up the phone with a satisfied smirk on his face.

 

Patrick sat back down on the couch and tried to wrap his head around what had happened. No matter what he tried to tell himself, the truth was Robin was now married to another man. The problem was that other man’s name wasn’t Zach Jackson.

 

No, the man Robin had married was Jason Morgan.

[jennifer6973]

I think the changes are pretty cool.  I love the changes you made.

Chapter 15

 

Robin woke up to the buzzing of her alarm. She reached over and pushed the snooze button, hoping for 5 more minutes of sleep before facing the day.

 

“I don’t think so. You need to wake up so you can eat the breakfast I made you.”

 

Robin opened her eyes and saw Zach coming in the door of their bedroom with a tray. She sat up and he placed it on her lap. Eggs and bacon with juice and her morning pills, of course. She smiled at him. “Thank you.”

 

Zach smiled at her and gave her a kiss. “I just wanted to give you a good start to your day.”

 

“Since yesterday ended so horribly?” To say Robin’s parents were not happy about their marriage would be an understatement. Robert had ranted and raved about what a huge mistake Robin had made while Anna was convinced Robin had been forced into the marriage. Thank goodness Mac and Felicia were there to step in and calm the situation down a bit. By the time they left, Mac and Felicia were throwing the newlyweds a wedding reception and Robert and Anna agreed to keep their mouths shut and their minds open about the marriage, at least for the time being.

 

“I only have one appointment today – why don’t I reschedule and we can spend the day here watching TV and planning our honeymoon?” Zach had suggested they wait until they were settled back into Port Charles before taking a honeymoon but after last night he wanted to get Robin someplace stress free for a little while – she deserved it.

 

“That’s silly, if you only have one appointment today you should keep it.” She took a bite of her eggs and smiled at him. “That’s good. No, you go to your appointment while I meet with Felicia and Maxie about our wedding reception. Then you can pick up some pizza on your way back and we’ll veg out to bad movies for the rest of the day – sound good?”

 

Zach leaned over and kissed her. “It sounds perfect.”

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

“Oh my God Robin, they’re beautiful!” Maxie had grabbed her cousin’s hand and was staring at her rings. “That man has great taste.”

 

“Well, Emma did help so they both have great taste.” Robin laughed and smiled. She really needed this – someone in Port Charles to be truly happy for her. The two women were sitting in Kelly’s waiting for Maxie’s mom, Felicia, to get there so they could start planning the reception.

 

“So he had the wedding set up in the park for you?” Maxie was overwhelmed with how romantic it was.

 

Robin nodded. “He and Brenda arranged everything. It was in this beautiful clearing in the park with a gazebo we stood under while we said our vows. He had even invited a select few of our friends from the Sorbonne to be there with us. Emma was his best girl and Brenda was my maid of honor. It was beautiful Maxie.”

 

“And how did Patrick take the news?” Maxie had already heard from her mom about Robert and Anna’s response.

 

“He wanted to call Alexis and get it annulled.”

 

Maxie was taking a drink and actually spit it out. “What!”

 

Robin nodded her head. “Yes, he told me that Emma and I could move back in with him and get the marriage annulled. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I knew he wouldn’t be happy but to go that far…”

 

Maxie was livid. “I am going to go and give that boy a piece of my mind. I mean he dumped you Robin and now that you are happy and with someone else he wants you back? I don’t think so.”

 

Maxie stood up in a huff and started heading towards the door but Robin stopped her. “Maxie, it’s okay. I appreciate the sentiment but he knows where I stand and I hope that, in time, he can come to accept my marriage to Zach.”

 

Maxie sat back down. “Fine, but I reserve the right to kick his ass at any point in time I see fit in the future. Deal?”

 

Robin laughed. “Deal. Right now I want your ideas for the reception.”

 

Maxie giggled and immediately launched into her plans for the upcoming event.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Zach was sitting at his desk when the phone rang. “Hello?”

 

“Yes Mr. Jackson, I was hoping to talk to you about the project in Phoenix.”

 

Zach froze and dropped the phone. Victor walked into Zach’s office with two guards and smiled at the man. “How are we doing today Mr. Morgan?”

 

Jason jumped up and tried to get out the door but was quickly restrained. “Where am I?”

 

“A safe place, I promise you. Now please sit down so the doctor can examine you. Wouldn’t want anything to happen to your beautiful wife now, would we?”

 

Jason sat down defeated and waited for Patrick to come in. He knew Patrick had been blackmailed the same way he had been into complying with Victor’s demands.

 

Patrick walked in and began the exam. “Man, I am so sorry you got dragged into this.”

 

Patrick just shook his head. “It’s fine. Besides, Robin would kill me if anything happened to you.”

 

Jason laughed. “I guess she would. How’s Sam?”

 

Patrick shook his head and Victor spoke for him. “Your Samantha is perfectly fine and she is not your concern right now.” Victor shifted his attention back to Patrick. “How is he?”

 

“Fine, I don’t see anything to be concerned about.”

 

“Good, you can go now.” One of the guards escorted Patrick out. “Please have a seat Mr. Morgan, we have a few things to discuss.”

 

An hour later Victor and Zach came out of the office smiling. “I’ll get the contracts to you in a few days and then we can get started. It will be great working with you Mr. Cassadine.”

 

Victor shook the man’s hand. “Oh yes, I am looking forward to working you as well, Mr. Jackson. Now I will let you go so you can get home to that lovely new bride of yours.”

 

Zach smiled and sighed. “Robin is amazing – I am a very lucky man Mr. Cassadine.”

 

“That you are, Mr. Jackson.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 16

 

Patrick was rounding the corner in the hospital when he was grabbed and pulled into the supply closet. “Damn it Robert, you need to stop doing that!”

 

Robert smiled at his ex-son-in-law. “Sorry my boy but we need to be careful. Did you get it done?”

 

Patrick nodded. “Yes, I planted it under the edge of Zach's desk while I was doing his exam.” Robert and Anna had given Patrick a listening device for Zach’s office after he had explained everything that was going on. Patrick had been nervous but was able to get the bug placed and Anna was dropping off a painting to Robin & Zach's house with a similar listening device tomorrow. Hopefully they would be able to discover how Victor got Jason to turn into Zach.

 

“Well, let’s take a listen, shall we?” Robert held up his cell phone and hit a button.

 

Patrick laughed. “There’s an app for that?”

 

Robert just nodded as they listened to what was going on in Zach’s office.

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Zach heard a knock on his door. “Come in.”

 

Robin smiled at him. “I was looking for someone to help with my security needs.”

 

Zach laughed and got up from his desk. “What are you doing here? I thought I was supposed to pick up pizza and meet you at home.”

 

“Well I realized I haven’t seen your new office yet.” She walked into the room. “It’s nice. Very open and friendly.”

 

“I’m glad you approve.” Zach walked around the desk and over to her. “You know I live to please you.”

 

Zach put his arms around her and kissed her. She giggled and gave him a coy look. “Really? Well, it would really please me if you told me that your door locked and you have the afternoon free.”

 

Zach ran over to the door and locked it before dashing back over and pulling Robin over to the desk. “Like I said, I live to please you.”

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Robert quickly hit the end button on his phone – neither he nor Patrick needed to hear that. “Patrick, I’m sorry…”

 

“How much longer Robert? How much longer until I can finally tell Robin everything?” Patrick had tears in eyes listening to Robin with Zach.

 

“Frisco has made some inroads at the agency and we are trying to determine just how many agents are involved and watching Robin right now. Soon Patrick.” Robert was trying his best to speed things along but he would not risk his daughter or granddaughter for anything.

 

Patrick’s phone rang and a picture message came through. Patrick took his phone and threw it into a pile of sheets on the shelf. Robert picked up the phone and looked at the picture – it was Robin and Zach locked in a passionate embrace on Zach’s desk. “Son of a bitch.”

 

“And what happens when we do tell her? She is in love with Zach but what happens when Zach disappears and Jason is back for good?” Patrick ran his hands through his hair. “It’s going to kill her Robert. She trusts him completely and that trust is going to be broken and it’s all my fault. If I had just…”

 

Robert interrupted him. “Just what – not loved Robin and Emma enough to protect them?”

 

“No, but if I had come to you and Anna right away…”

 

Robert put his hand on Patrick’s shoulder. “You were scared Drake and you had every reason to be. Hell, even now we cannot guarantee their safety and you have two of the best spies working on it. You are a doctor Patrick, not an agent. So please quit beating yourself up - if you do something wrong, I’ll do it for you.”

 

Patrick didn't laugh at Robert's attempt at a joke but he did nod. It wasn’t convincing. Emma and Robin both were going to be devastated when the truth came out and his only hope was that someday they could forgive him for the part he had played in creating this mess. “Look, I’ve got to get back to my rounds. I’ll talk to you later.”

 

Robert watched Patrick leave the closet and pulled out his phone. “Please tell me you’ve got what I asked for – I don’t know how much more of this Patrick can take.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 17

 

Robin left her patient’s room and headed down the hall to the nurse’s hub. She wasn’t back on staff at GH, she wouldn’t do that until Obrecht was gone as Chief of Staff, but she was allowed to come in as a visiting physician. Currently, Robin was weighing a job offer from PCU to teach. She had enjoyed her time teaching at the Sorbonne but she wasn’t sure she was ready to give up working with patients.

 

This decision was what Robin was thinking about as she walked down the hall. She was so deep in thought that she was caught completely off guard when she was suddenly grabbed and pulled into the supply closet. “What the hell…Patrick?”

 

“We need to talk.” Patrick locked the door and stood in front of it.

 

Robin shook her head. “Patrick, please get out of my way. I need to turn in my notes and get home – my mom will be there in less than an hour.”

 

“Not until we talk.” Patrick took a step towards her. “It’s about Zach.”

 

“I really don’t have time for this.” She started towards the door but Patrick grabbed her and held her tight.

 

“You need to listen to me – Zach isn’t who you think he is. Robin, he is going to hurt you. It may not be intentional but he will. You need to get out of that house and away from him. Go to your mom’s or Mac’s, hell, go back to Paris, but you need to get away from him.”

 

Robin couldn’t believe how far Patrick was willing to go to try and destroy her marriage to Zach. “I cannot believe you!” She sighed. “This is getting ridiculous. Zach would never hurt me. You need to stop this, please.”

 

“Not until I know you and Emma are safe.”

 

“I don’t even understand what you are talking about – of course we’re safe.” Robin was getting more and more confused by Patrick’s actions.

 

Patrick was about to answer when there was a knock on the door. “I don’t know who is in there but you have about 5 seconds to unlock the door before I break it down.”

 

Robin pulled herself out of Patrick’s arms and reached the door, grateful for Epiphany’s interruption. “I am tired of this Patrick. You need to accept that Zach is my husband and I love him.”

 

Patrick stared her straight in the eyes. “We will be a family again Robin, it’s inevitable. I just wish you would trust me.”

 

“After what you did, how can I?” Robin ran through the now open door and past Epiphany, trying her best not to cry.

 

Epiphany glared at Patrick. “I know I deserved that, Epiphany, I know.”

 

“She is a married woman now Patrick, you need to respect it.” Epiphany had as much hope as anyone that these two doctors would find their way back to each other but Zach was a good guy who seemed to honestly love Robin.

 

“I can’t do that, not when she doesn’t have any idea about who she is really married to.” Patrick shook his head and left the closet, leaving behind the very confused head nurse.

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Robin headed to the parking garage, still upset about her earlier encounter with Patrick. She wasn’t sure what he thought he knew but he was being ridiculous. Robin understood this was hard on him but he was pushing her patience to the breaking point.

 

She approached her car and was fishing for her keys in her purse. “I really need to clean this thing out.” She finally pulled them out but several other items fell out in the process. Robin bent down to pick them up and heard footsteps behind her.

 

“It’s ok, I’ve got …” Robin didn’t get to finish her sentence. A hand went over her mouth while another grabbed her around the waist and dragged her into a waiting car.

 

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

An hour later, Patrick headed into the garage. He had failed again to tell Robin the truth about Zach and it was killing him. With his head down, he was making his way to his car when he noticed some things scattered on the ground near Robin’s car. He walked over and picked them up. There was a roll of breath mints, the picture of her and Emma with Zach, some change and Robin’s keys.

 

Patrick stood up in shock and reached for his phone. He was just about to call Robert when his phone rang. “What did you do!”

 

“Consider this a warning Dr. Drake – you have gotten a little too close to telling your ex-wife about Mr. Morgan and we cannot have that.” Victor’s men had seen Patrick pull Robin into the supply closet earlier.

 

“Where is she?” Patrick was frantic with worry.

 

“You will see her soon enough. I just want to make sure you understand exactly what I am saying. One slip up and Robin pays – are we understood?”

 

Patrick ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “I understand - now where is she?”

 

Victor just laughed and hung up the phone. Patrick ran to his car and jumped in, not noticing the body in the front seat at first. He turned to look out the passenger window and saw Robin sitting there, unconscious. “Robin!”

 

Patrick gently shook her but she didn’t wake up. Moving quickly, Patrick gently pulled Robin out of the car and raced her into the hospital.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 18

 

“Where is she?” Zach came running into the ER, frantically searching for his wife.

 

Patrick stood up and walked over to him. “She is in with Dr. Rosenthal.”

 

“What happened?” Zach had just gotten the call from Patrick telling him that Robin was in the ER, not what was wrong.

 

“I’d like to know the answer to that question too.” Robert walked up behind Zach, glaring at Patrick. He had a pretty good idea what had happened but wanted to hear it from Patrick himself.

 

“I, I don’t know. I found her in the parking garage and she was passed out. I brought her right in here and called you.” Patrick didn’t know who was listening and he was not taking any more chances.

 

Silence enveloped them as they waited for word on Robin’s condition from the doctor. A few minutes later, Dr. Rosenthal came over to them. “Patrick, she is doing fine. A few cuts and bruises, she put up a hell of a fight, but nothing major.”

 

Zach looked at the doctor. “Can I see her?”

 

Dr. Rosenthal looked at Patrick who explained. “This is Robin’s husband Zach.”

 

Dr. Rosenthal nodded sadly at Patrick and then looked at Zach. “She is beginning to wake up. I found a needle mark in her upper arm so I am doing a full blood panel to determine what she was injected with and make sure it doesn’t interfere with her protocol. If you want to follow me, I’ll take you to her room. I am keeping her overnight to be on the safe side.”

 

Zach nodded and followed the doctor to Robin’s room while Robert just glared at his ex-son-in-law. “I need to go check on a patient.”

 

Patrick walked over to the desk and asked Epiphany for a chart, holding it to the side so that Robert could see the room number.

 

A few minutes later, Robert followed him to the room. He glanced down at the patient and realized that the man was in a coma. “What the hell happened Patrick?”

 

“I tried to tell her about Jason.” Robert started to talk but Patrick stopped him. “It was stupid I know but this is killing me. I pulled her into the supply closet but someone saw me and told Victor. This was just a warning, next time…”

 

“Next time she disappears for good. Damn it Drake, I told you to just wait.” Robert began pacing the room. “I understand why you did what you did but she could have been killed. You need to stay away from her until this is all settled.”

 

Patrick silently nodded his head in agreement. Robert was right – his actions today nearly cost Robin her life and he could never live with himself if anything happened to her.

 

“I’ll be in touch.” Robert left the room to go see Robin while Patrick finished his exam.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

“No, no.” Robin was fighting in her sleep. Suddenly she cried out. “Patrick!”

 

Zach winced when she yelled out her ex-husband’s name but Patrick did bring her in from the parking garage. Maybe she knew that Patrick had rescued her.

 

“Zach?” Robin began coming around. She saw her husband sitting there and smiled at him. “Hey you.”

 

“Hey you. How are you feeling?” He leaned over on her bed and gently stroked her face.

 

“A little sore. What happened?” Everything was fuzzy in her head.

 

“You were drugged in the parking garage. Patrick found you and brought you into the ER. Apparently you put up quite a fight. A few bumps and bruises but you are going to be fine.” Zach smiled at her.

 

“Drugged - why?”

 

“Don’t know but the police are working on it. Right now you just need to worry about resting and recovering. Do you remember what happened?” Zach thought it might be helpful if she talked to him about it.

 

“I was walking to the garage. I was still mad at Patrick.”

 

“Patrick – what did he do now?” Patrick hadn’t said a word to Zach about a fight earlier.

 

“Same thing as the other night. Pulled my into the supply closet, wanted to talk. Doesn’t matter. I was trying to get my keys out and things fell out of my purse.” Robin paused, trying to remember. “I bent down to pick the stuff up and someone came up behind me, grabbed me and threw me into a car. I fought and then I felt a needle in my arm and everything went black.”

 

Zach stroked her hand. “It’s ok. Dr. Rosenthal is doing a full blood panel to find out what they injected you with and if it will affect your meds. He wants to keep you here overnight for observation.”

 

Robin rolled her eyes. “That’s ridiculous. I can come home with you and…”

 

“And nothing. The doctor says you stay – you stay but I will be staying with you. How about you find us some bad movies to watch on the tv while I go pick us up some food?” He leaned down and gave her a kiss.

 

“Not exactly how I was planning on spending the night but it will have to do. I love you.”

 

Zach leaned in for another kiss. “I love you too.”

Chapter 19

 

Patrick sat in his living room looking at their wedding album. They had been so happy that day, their future seemed unlimited and now he couldn’t even be near her without risking her life. How had things gotten so horribly messed up?

 

Robin would be fine, Dr. Rosenthal had assured him of this before Patrick left the hospital. The tranquilizer used on Robin was not affecting her protocol but they still wanted to keep her overnight, just as a precaution. She would probably be released first thing in the morning.

 

Suddenly there was a pounding coming from his front door. “Patrick, we need to talk.”

 

Patrick could hear how furious Zach was and he couldn’t blame him. Patrick got up and let the man in. “Is Robin still okay?”

 

“Yes, I came home to get her a few things as well as get us something to eat but before I do that I want you to explain to me exactly what happened today.”

 

“I already told you, I found Robin in the garage…”

 

Zach interrupted him. “Not that.” Zach knew Patrick was hiding something about what happened in the garage but the police were working on it and they would figure it out. “I mean about when you pulled my wife into the supply closet.”

 

Patrick was surprised that Robin had told Zach about that. “It was nothing, just an ex-husband’s desperate attempt to get back his wife. It didn’t work, she loves you.”

 

Zach didn’t buy it. “There is more to it than what you are telling me. Robin would not have been so upset, so distracted, if you hadn’t said something more than that.”

 

Patrick was getting nervous. Victor had his house bugged and could hear their entire conversation but he already knew Patrick had spoken to Robin earlier that day so he tried to be honest without revealing anything. “I told her you were going to hurt her. That she really didn’t know you because, let’s be honest, does she? You two have barely known each other for a year and now you’re married. Sorry if I am having a hard time accepting that.”

 

Zach shook his head. “Well you have to. Robin and I love each other and we are married now. I was hoping we could at least get along, if not be friends but I don’t think that is going to happen, is it?”

 

Patrick just laughed. “Friends? Friends with the man who is sleeping with the love of my life? No, that is most certainly not going to happen. I will be civil to you for Emma’s sake but I know in my heart that in the end, Robin will come back to me and we will be a family again. We share something special and unique and you cannot hope to ever have that with her. Robin and I have a bond that goes beyond anything you could even comprehend.”

 

Zach glared at him. “You abandoned her and destroyed her – hardly what I would call a loving bond.”

 

“Trust me when I say that someday Robin will understand that there were very good reasons for why I did what I did. Until that day you enjoy your time with Robin but know it won’t last. It can’t because she and I are soul mates and you cannot change that. We will always be a part of each other’s lives because of our daughter and someday, someday soon, she will be back home with me and Emma like she belongs.” Patrick walked over to the door and opened it. “I’ll back off, for now.”

 

Zach stormed out of the house, upset by the entire conversation. In a way Patrick was right, he and Robin did share a bond that Zach and Robin didn’t and maybe it was time to do something about it.

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Robin was happily watching a bad movie when Zach came in bearing pizza. “I have the food, tell me you found some bad movies.”

 

She laughed. “Mutant animal marathon on SyFy.”

 

He smiled as he set the pizza down and climbed onto the bed with her. “Yes!”

 

They ate supper and watched as Sharktopus attacked various spring breakers, laughing at the bad acting and terrible effects. Zach cleaned everything up and then sat down with his wife on the bed, holding her close. “Robin, I’ve been think about something.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Today scared me to death and made me appreciate what we have even more. It also made me realize that I want to have more with you than what we have.” Zach was trying to think of the best way to say what he wanted.

 

“What do you mean more?” Robin was confused.

 

“I guess what I am saying is that, Robin, I want us to have a baby.”

[ulkis]

I modified Silas' speech today just a wee bit:

Silas stepped up to the microphone. "I'm Silas Clay. I'm Kiki's father. I know most of us have never met. That's because I'm a detective-slash-doctor and you're a bunch of gay artists and criminals. But I wanna be here for my daughter. Because I'm awesome like that. It's very hard to see your child in pain and so very helpless. The pain is so much worse for me too, because I just really feel other people's pain a lot. In fact, I think Kiki barely feels any pain, because I took it all on for her. You can thank me later Kiki. Doctors are used to healing people. And I should know, because I'm 100% totally a doctor. Right now I feel like my hands are tied. Because this isn't a doctor thing, not because I'm not actually a doctor and don't actually know what to do in a medical emergency. But I am very proud of the way my daughter stepped up and looked after Avery and I know her mom would be too." He looked to the side and whispered to Morgan. "That's the baby's name, right?" Morgan nodded.

Silas congratulated himself for remembering Ava's baby's name and continued. "As for Ava. The thing about Ava, she was always a fighter. She wanted something, she went right after it. You know, she didn't always go about it the best way. Especially when she got older and thought she was still as hot as she used to be. More than once I said 'well there's no way she's getting out of this one, no way anyone's gonna want to have sex with her anymore.' Somehow she always did. I guess there's always a sucker." He looked pointedly over at Morgan, but Morgan was busy reading the menu. "So, anyway - "

"Oooooooooooh, Danny boooooooooy," Ava's mother started singing.

"Hey wait you old hag, I'm not done," said Silas, insulted.

"The piiiiiiiiiipes are callling," she continued to sing.

"This song blows!" said Silas. "I don't think you're even a singer! You can't just decide you want to start singing one day! It takes years of study!"

"The hiiiillls are calling . . . "

"You bitch!" said Silas. "You know that song reminds me of Rafe!" He punched her out.

"Dad!" said Kiki.

"What!" said Silas. "This was all just a waste of time anyway! YOUR STUPID MOM IS ALIVE! There's no point in going along with this now that she ruined my speech! It was all for nothing!"

He stormed out. Well, he walked casually out, and then leaned against the door, and then decided to take a nap before hailing a taxi.

"Did he just say my mom's alive?" asked Kiki, back inside the bar.

"He meant, like, in our hearts and stuff," said Morgan. "Now, let me make my speech." He picked up the microphone. "Most people didn't know that me and Ava were in a relationship. When we met, we were in a lot of pain. And then we had sex and then I was in less pain." Morgan started crying. "It was awesome . . . "

Chapter 20

 

Anna walked in Robin’s hospital room and smiled at her little girl. Robin was sleeping soundly, Zach in the chair next to her bed watching her. “How’s my girl doing?”

 

Zach smiled at Anna. “Good. Dr. Rosenthal said he is going to release her in a little bit. Would you mind staying with her – I want to check on a couple things at the office.”

 

“Of course I will.” Anna sat in a chair across from Zach, next to Robin and smiled at her daughter. “If she gets released before you get back, I will let you know and get her home.”

 

Zach stood up and kissed Robin. “Thank you. I will see you later.”

 

He left the room and Anna’s smile disappeared. She waited a minute and then spoke. “Okay Robin, he’s gone so you can stop pretending you’re asleep.”

 

Robin opened her eyes. “How did you know?”

 

Anna laughed. “Please, I’m a spy and you’re my daughter – it would be more surprising if I didn’t know. Now, why are you avoiding your husband?”

 

Robin sighed. “I’m not avoiding him, I’m avoiding an argument that is going to happen.”

 

Anna raised her eyebrows at Robin. Zach and Robin had never had any kind of major fights, at least none that she had heard about. That was one of the major differences between this marriage and the one Robin had with Patrick. Patrick and Robin constantly challenged each other and weren’t afraid to let that passion out. Zach and Robin were more safe and steady, fighting seemed completely against their nature. “An argument about what?”

 

“Zach wants us to have a baby.”

 

Anna was surprised. “And I take it you don’t.”

 

“Mom, you remember what happened with Emma. I was in the hospital for an incompetent cervix, I almost died after giving birth to her and then the post partum depression – I wouldn’t trade Emma for anything but I don’t know if I can go through any of that again. Not to mention the fact that I am HIV positive and could pass it to the baby.” Robin went through all of the reasons almost like a checklist on a piece of paper.

 

“Is that all? No other reasons?” Anna suspected that Robin had another concern she wasn’t voicing.

 

Robin shook her head slightly. “Patrick said something to me yesterday about Zach, not knowing him, that he is going to hurt me, I don’t know I guess it bothers me more than I want to admit.”

 

Anna took Robin’s hand in hers. “That he said it or that he might be right?”

 

Robin gave her mom a soft laugh. “Both if I am being honest. Don’t get me wrong, I love Zach but I keep hearing Patrick’s words in my head and, I don’t know, I am just so confused now.”

 

Anna couldn’t help but be a little happy that Robin wasn’t even close to agreeing to have a child with Zach, well Jason. “The important thing is that you are sure and if you are not, it is not fair to anyone if you agree to do this.”

 

“I know. I told Zach I would think about it but I knew the answer then minute he said the words. We are just not at a place to have a child, at least not yet. The problem is that he is already certain that my hesitancy is because of Patrick and he is not happy about it.” The rest of their night together had been tense because of Robin’s request to think about getting pregnant. “Last night was uncomfortable and I could barely stand it. What is it going to be like when I tell him no?”

 

Anna climbed on the bed and gently brushed a piece of hair behind Robin’s ear. “No matter what, you know that your father and I will be here for you. Trust in that and us.”

 

Robin nodded and smiled at her mom. She felt better after talking to her. Zach would understand, he had to.

[boes]

......

 

 Somehow she always did. I guess there's always a sucker." He looked pointedly over at Morgan, but Morgan was busy reading the menu. "So, anyway - "

 

"Oooooooooooh, Danny boooooooooy," Delia's mother started singing.

 

"Hey wait you old hag, I'm not done," said Silas, insulted.

 

"The piiiiiiiiiipes are callling," she continued to sing.

 

"This song blows!" said Silas. "I don't think you're even a singer! You can't just decide you want to start singing one day! It takes years of study!"

 

"The hiiiillls are calling . . . "

 

"You bitch!" said Silas. "You know that song reminds me of Rafe!" He punched her out.

"What!" said Silas. "This was all just a waste of time anyway! YOUR STUPID MOM IS ALIVE! There's no point in going along with this now that she ruined my speech! It was all for nothing!"

When we met, we were in a lot of pain. And then we had sex and then I was in less pain." Morgan started crying. "It was awesome . . . "*

 

How much do I LOVE THIS!?!!  Absolutely perfect.  Now why is it that I hear John McPain in this version of Silas?  And why do I think you and I shared the same feeling about him on that show.....hmmmmmm....

 

And Morgan's eulogy...my only quibble is you having Morgan "read" the menu......that's a stretch.

 

Thanks - this was fantastic!

[Chairperson Meow]

Slow clap.

Morgan was pretending to read like he always does. He looks at pictures and points and smiles.

[ulkis]

Thanks guys.

How much do I LOVE THIS!?!!  Absolutely perfect.  Now why is it that I hear John McPain in this version of Silas? 

 

Because they're the same? ;)

Chapter 21

 

“Oh mom, I love it!” Robin smiled happily at the painting her mother had brought her of the French countryside. “It will look perfect over the fireplace.”

 

“Exactly what I thought.” Anna smiled, pleased that everything was going according to plan. A half hour later the painting, with the bug hidden securely in the frame, was hung over the fireplace. Robin had made some tea and the two women sat on the couch admiring their handiwork.

 

Zach came in the door. “Hello.” He went over to the couch where the two ladies were sitting and gave his wife a kiss. “You look great.”

 

“Thank you. Did you see what my mother brought us as a wedding present?” Robin gestured to the painting.

 

Zach looked at it and smiled. “It’s beautiful. That is the perfect spot for it. Thank you Anna.”

 

“You are very welcome.” Anna got up. “Well I need to get going – your father is taking me out to dinner.”

 

Robin raised her eyebrows but Anna just laughed. “Nothing like that. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

 

She kissed Robin and headed out the front door. Zach sat down next to Robin, pulling her close to him. “I’m sorry about last night. I know that came from out of the blue for you.”

 

Robin nodded. “You need to understand something, I almost died having Emma. I’m not being dramatic, you can read my medical file, I literally almost died. Then after I had her, I suffered from post-partum depression and, Zach, I don’t know if I can risk that again.”

 

She cradled his face in her hands. “You need to understand that my hesitation has nothing to do with Patrick. This is about me.”

 

Zach nodded. “I know but I still can’t get this vision out of my head of a beautiful little girl with your dark brown hair,” Zach gently ran his hands through Robin’s hair, “and my blue eyes. Can you see her?”

 

Robin closed her eyes and pictured the child he was talking about. She could see her but her eyes were dark brown, not blue. “How about we agree to wait a few months before we decide on anything? We just got married and I want to enjoy it, enjoy spending time with my new husband. I’m not saying no, I’m just saying not right now. Can you live with that?”

 

Zach kissed her passionately. “Of course I can. As long as I have you, I can live with anything.”

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Anna pushed through Robert’s front door. “Has Frisco had any luck?” Anna was afraid they were running out of time.

 

“Not yet. He has been trying to figure out who he can trust at headquarters but that takes time; you know that as well as I do.” Robert studied his ex-wife, something was wrong, he could feel it. “You want to just tell me what is bothering you?”

 

Anna looked at him and sighed. “Zach is pressuring Robin to have a baby.”

 

“The hell he is, there is no way my daughter is having Jason Morgan’s child. Maybe I need to go and have a little talk with him.” Robert was furious at the thought.

 

“No, Robert. Robin doesn’t know who he is. She thinks that her husband Zach is asking her, not her ex-boyfriend Jason.” Anna knew it was confusing to her and Robert but for Robin it was simple – Zach was her husband.

 

“I know.” He sighed and changed the subject. “Did you get the painting in?” Robert went into planning mode to get his mind off of the possibility of Robin being pregnant with Jason’s baby.

 

“Yes, it is hanging over the fire place.”

 

Robert smiled at her. “Good. Between it and the bug at his office, maybe we can figure out how to turn Zach into Jason and end this whole nightmare once and for all.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 22

 

One week later

 

“Come on Emma – your dad is waiting in the car for you.” Patrick had texted Robin to let her know that he was outside. Since the incident last week he had once again been avoiding her and she was fine with that for now.

 

Tonight was the One Direction concert and Emma and Patrick were staying in New York City for the weekend. He was going to take her ice skating and to the zoo, a real daddy-daughter weekend. Zach was out of town on business and Robin was looking forward to some time by herself after she checked on her patient at GH.

 

Emma came running out with her rolling suitcase bouncing behind her. “I’m ready mommy, love you and see you later!” Emma ran out of the house, excitement overcoming her.

 

Robin followed her to the door and laughed. “Have fun baby! I love you too!” She gave Patrick a small wave and watched Emma buckle herself in, finally closing the door after Patrick pulled out of the driveway.

 

Robin got ready for work and was heading towards the door when the doorbell rang. She opened it to see a tall, aristocratic man standing there. “May I help you?”

 

“Dr. Scorpio?” Robin nodded. “Pleased to meet you, my name is Victor Cassadine.”

 

Robin was shocked – she thought she knew all the Cassadines but Nikolas had never mentioned a Victor. “What can I do for you Mr. Cassadine?”

 

“May I come in?” Victor smiled at her.

 

“Of course, I’m sorry I was just headed to the hospital so you caught me off guard.” Robin opened the door wider and stepped aside so Victor could come in. She gestured to the couch. “Please have a seat.”

 

He sat down on the couch and looked around the room. “Charming place you have here. I understand you recently remarried.”

 

Robin looked at him curiously but nodded. “Yes, right before I returned to Port Charles.”

 

“Yes, I have had the pleasure of working with your new husband. Mr. Jackson is doing security for several of my companies. He is a wonderful man and loves you immensely. In fact, he adores you.” Victor kept his gaze on Robin, gauging her reaction to his words.

 

“The feeling is mutual. I love my husband very much.” Robin couldn’t figure out why Victor was talking to her about Zach.

 

“Good. I firmly believe that a man who is happy at home is far more productive at work. Now, the reason for my visit – I have come to invite you and Zach to a dinner I am holding tomorrow night. I know it is short notice but I would love for both of you to attend.”

 

Robin nodded. “Well, I appreciate the invitation but my husband is out of town on business so we will have to decline.”

 

Victor stood up. “Another time then. It was very nice meeting you Dr. Scorpio.”

 

Robin led him to the door. “It was nice meeting you as well Mr. Cassadine.”

 

Victor left and Robin shut the door. She shivered as she went to grab her coat. Robin didn’t scare easily but something about Victor Cassadine scared her. She shook off her fear and headed to the hospital.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Victor stepped into the room and watched the conditioning being performed on Jason with a smile on his face. “How is it going?”

 

“Well, it may take a little while longer than we anticipated but we should be able to get him to take care of his in-laws for us soon.” Victor was tired of the Scorpios interference in the Cassadine family plans through the years. He had decided that the best way to rid himself of Robert and Anna was to get someone inside and Jason/Zach was a great way to do it.

 

Robert and Anna were an intelligent team. All attempts to kill them had failed because they were always so damn obvious. No, the way to get rid of Robert Scorpio and Anna Devane was to become close to the person they loved most in the world – their daughter. Jason would kill Robert and Anna and then he would meet with an unfortunate accident, leaving Robin ripe for the taking.

 

The plan to eliminate Robert and Anna was so that they couldn’t interfere with his final goal – acquiring the illustrious Dr. Scorpio to be the lead doctor on his research team. Robin would never willingly leave her family to come and work for him and as long as Robert and Anna lived he would never be able to keep them away from her. Even after she ‘died’ they still found her and brought her home. No, the only way to insure that he would be able keep Dr. Scorpio with him was to eliminate the people who were closest to her and would never give up on finding her – her parents.

 

Victor smiled at Jason – it wouldn’t be long now and he would have everything he wanted.

Chapter 23

 

Robin was laying on the couch watching a movie when she had another coughing fit. Grabbing a tissue, she blew her nose and flopped back down on the couch, miserable. “Damn cold.”

 

Her chest hurt from coughing, her eyes were watery and her nose was constantly going from being stuffed up to runny. She was also running a decent fever and hadn’t been able to get it down. Robin was miserable – she hated being sick and Patrick would be bringing Emma home any second now. She was exhausted and, despite the fact that she was fighting it, she finally passed out.

 

Less than a half hour later, Patrick opened the door, carrying a sleeping Emma in his arms. She had fallen asleep on the ride home and he didn’t have the heart to wake her. He looked at the couch and saw Robin lying there sleeping. Patrick gently laid Emma down in her bed and then returned to the living room to check on his ex-wife. “Robin?”

 

Robin stirred, looked up at Patrick and smiled. “Hi.”

 

“Hi – how are you doing?” Patrick knew just by looking at her that Robin was sick.

 

She shook her head. “Just a cold I swear.”

 

Patrick felt her forehead – she was burning up. “Maybe I should take you to the hospital.”

 

“No, no hospital. Just need rest.” Robin was weak but still adamant about what she wanted.

 

Patrick thought about it for only a moment and then gently stroked her cheek. He knew Zach was out of town for the week so he made a decision. “Fine, but I am not leaving you alone. You are coming home with me babe.”

 

Robin just nodded and went back to sleep. Patrick went back to Emma’s room and gathered their still sleeping daughter in his arms and placed her back in the car, buckling her in securely. He then returned to the house and, after retrieving Robin’s daily pill sorter containing her protocol from the bathroom, picked her up and took her home.

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Patrick laid Robin down in their bed and smiled at her sleeping form. Emma was in her pjs and sleeping for the night so he could concentrate on getting Robin better. Working quickly, he got Robin out of her clothes and into one of his old t-shirts and a pair of his old shorts. He then pulled out his medical bag and did a quick exam.

 

Her blood pressure and pulse were a little elevated but that was to be expected given she was sick. Her lungs were clear, no pneumonia, and Patrick relaxed a little bit with that discovery. It was just a cold, a bad one, but just a cold. His biggest concern was Robin’s fever – it was high, 103.2. If it didn’t go down soon, he was taking her to the hospital whether she liked it or not.

 

Patrick got a cool washcloth, ginger ale and some aspirin and brought it in to her. She woke up long enough to take the aspirin and then fell back asleep. He placed the washcloth on her forehead and just watched her. No matter the circumstances, it was felt great to have her back in their bed.

 

An hour later, Patrick gently rubbed her cheek and she woke up smiling at his touch. “Hey you.”

 

“Hey you – how are you feeling?” She felt a little cooler to him, she was still running a fever but it was a little lower so the aspirin was doing its job.

 

“Much better. Thank you for taking care of me.” Robin took his hand in hers, gently squeezing it.

 

“Nothing else I would rather do.” He squeezed her hand back and gazed lovingly in her eyes. Unable to resist, he leaned down and kissed her. To his surprise, Robin didn’t push him away but instead wrapped her arms around him. Patrick hesitated for only a moment before he wrapped his arms tightly around Robin, deepening the kiss. A minute later they slid down under the covers together.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 24

 

Robin woke up and looked around at her surroundings. She was in her bedroom but not her one with Zach; no, she was in the room she had shared with Patrick in their old house. Looking down she realized she was in one of Patrick’s old shirts and a pair of his old shorts. Her head and chest still hurt and her nose was sore from blowing it but her fever was gone.

 

A few minutes after she woke up, Patrick came in with a breakfast tray.

 

He smiled at her. “Good morning sunshine.” Patrick set the tray down on the bed and gently placed his hand on her forehead. “Looks like your fever finally broke - how are you feeling?”

 

Robin looked at him and shook her head. “Confused – when did I get here?”

 

Patrick’s heart sunk. Robin’s fever hadn’t gone away all night and had spiked again after they had made love. To him, when they had made love it was a dream come true but to her, it must have seemed like a fever dream. He swallowed hard. “I was dropping off Emma last night and you were passed out on the couch. You were running a pretty good fever so I brought you here – I wanted to take you to the hospital but you refused.”

 

Robin chuckled – that certainly sounded like her. “Thank you, you didn’t have to take care of me.”

 

Patrick smiled at her. “I would do anything for you, you know that.” He gently caressed her cheek and Robin grabbed his hand, looking at him strangely. “What is it?”

 

Robin had flashes of Patrick and her making love. It was strange, she hadn’t dreamt about them together in a long time and yet…”Nothing. I guess I’m still a little bit out of it.” She shook her head and smiled at him. “I really should get out of your hair.”

 

Patrick shook his head. “Not a chance – you are still recovering. I think it is best that you stay here for a couple of days and recuperate. Now eat your breakfast, take your medicine and I will get the couch set up for you. I’ve got ginger ale, soup and plenty of movies to watch.”

 

Robin giggled and raised her hands in surrender. “Fine, I give up. You caught me in a weak moment Drake, you know that?”

 

Robin was laughing but Patrick wasn’t; unfortunately, she had no idea how right she was. The guilt was eating away at him but he just smiled at her and left the room.

 

Patrick closed the door and then slid down the wall in shame. He should have known that Robin would never knowingly cheat on her husband but he had been so caught up in being with her that he let his heart take over from his head. Patrick took one last look at their room and walked away – she didn’t remember and he would never tell her. Patrick knew he could live with the guilt but Robin, Robin couldn’t.

“What is Victor doing to him?” Robert had followed Zach on his ‘business trip’ and knew he was currently at a WSB medical facility. Robert was sitting in a car outside the building doing surveillance.

 

Anna paced her hotel room. “I don’t know but it can’t be good. I am far more curious about his visit to Robin the other day – why is he so invested in making sure that Robin loves Zach and is going to stay with him?”

 

Robert put down his binoculars and rubbed his eyes. “I don’t know but I agree, whatever he is planning, it can’t be good. Is Robin still at home?”

 

Anna hesitated. “No, she is at Patrick’s.” Robert started to say something but Anna stopped him. “She was sick when Patrick went to drop off Emma so he took her home to nurse her back to health. He couldn’t leave her alone when she was sick and I will not blame him for that.”

 

Robert shook his head. As much as he hated to admit it, Anna was right. Drake would never leave his daughter to fend for herself when she was sick and Robert appreciated that Patrick loved Robin as much as he did. “I know Anna. We need to end this soon – those two belong together.”

 

Anna sighed. “I know Robert, I know.”

Chapter 25

 

Robin finished basting the chicken and closed the oven. Taking a deep breath, she turned around and glared at her husband. “You are being ridiculous.”

 

Zach shook his head. “It is not ridiculous that I am upset because, while I was gone on business trip, you spent several nights at your ex-husbands house.”

 

“Because I was sick.” Robin walked over to Zach and stared him straight in the eyes. “You were unreachable and I was passed out and running a high fever when he brought Emma home. He couldn’t leave me here like that, especially with Emma. He’s a doctor and I was his patient, that's all. You are making a much bigger deal out of this than it needs to be.”

 

Robin wrapped her arms around his neck. “I love you. I am married to you. I want to be with you and the next time I am sick, I hope you are the one to take care of me.”

 

Zach sighed. “He’s still in love with you Robin, you know that.”

 

“I know but it doesn’t change us. I sat on a couch and watched Disney movies for days with my daughter in between numerous naps. I went through boxes of Kleenex and a ton of water, ginger ale, and soup.” Robin leaned up and kissed him. “Does that sound remotely romantic?”

 

“No it doesn’t. So you are all better now?” Zach wasn’t just upset that Robin had been at Patrick’s, he was also upset that she had been sick and he wasn’t there for her. Robin’s health always would be one of his primary concerns.

 

“Yes,” she kissed him again, “I had blood tests run and my viral load is still undetectable. In fact, I’ll show how much better I am feeling after dinner.”

 

Zach leaned over and picked her up in his arms. “Dinner can wait.”

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Patrick had just put Emma to bed when he heard a knock on his door. “Just a minute.”

 

He opened the door to find Victor Cassadine standing there. “Good evening Dr. Drake. How are you doing tonight?”

 

Patrick glared at the man but he wasn’t surprised Victor had shown up. Patrick had been waiting for this visit for almost a week – ever since he had brought Robin home when she was sick. “Very well but I just put my daughter to bed so can we make this quick.”

 

Victor smiled at him. “I’ll get right to the point then. I thought I made it clear that you were to keep your distance from your ex-wife. Instead, you brought her here while her husband was away on business.”

 

Patrick got defensive. “She was sick and needed help. She couldn’t take care of herself…”

 

Victor interrupted. “Well, you certainly did take care of her didn’t you? I must say your bedside manner has certainly improved since your time at the clinic.”

 

Patrick held his temper as best he could. “Robin means a hell of a lot more to me than any of those patients at your damn clinic. I didn’t try to tell her anything about Jason, isn’t that what you wanted?”

 

“What I want, Dr. Drake, is for you to respect the vows Robin and Zach took while they were in Paris. I have a very good reason for placing Mr. Morgan where he is and I will not let you or anyone else derail those plans – am I clear?” Victor was almost yelling at Patrick by the time he was done.

 

“Crystal.” Patrick spit at Victor. “Is that all? I have an early surgery in the morning.”

 

Victor walked to the door. “That is all. Good night Dr. Drake.”

 

Patrick closed the door and locked it behind Victor. He went upstairs and checked in on Emma one last time before going to bed.

Chapter 26

 

Robin was sitting at a table in the GH cafeteria, almost in a daze, when Liz came up to join her. “Hey you!”

 

Robin shook her head and smiled at her friend. “Liz! It’s so great to see you. Have a seat.”

 

Liz sat down and smiled at Robin. “So, I understand congratulations are in order. When do I get to meet your new husband?”

 

“Soon I hope. We are still trying to nail down the date for the wedding reception. Between his work and mine, we are having some issues with that.” Maxie was getting frustrated with the couples inability to set a date for the party but it couldn’t be helped.

 

Liz watched Robin carefully, something was off. “Hey Robs, you know you can tell me anything. Is something wrong?”

 

Robin rubbed her eyes and shook her head. “It’s just, okay this is going to sound really strange but I keep having these dreams about me and Patrick.”

 

“What kind of dreams?” Liz asked. The look Robin gave her said it all. “Oh, those kind of dreams.”

 

“Yeah but the weird thing is if I didn’t know any better, I would swear that I was remembering something, not dreaming.” Robin was genuinely confused by this latest turn of events.

 

“Well, you and Patrick were married for a long time and the stories of your exploits here at the hospital are legendary…”

 

Robin laughed. “No, I get that but these dreams didn’t start until after I was sick 3 weeks ago and Patrick took care of me.” Robin was beginning to wonder what she didn’t remember from that night. Patrick had been avoiding her again, except for texts about Emma.

 

Liz thought about it. “Then that’s probably it – he took care of you and it brought up old feelings. Let me ask you a question – do you still love Zach?”

 

Robin smiled. “Yes I do.”

 

“Then focus on that and I am sure that these dreams will go away or the man you are dreaming about will be your husband once again. Speaking of – why don’t you tell me all about the illustrious Zach Jackson.”

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Patrick stood off to the side, grateful the two women hadn’t seen him standing there. Was Robin remembering them making love? He still couldn’t believe that he had let himself get carried away that night. Patrick loved Robin so much but he would never knowingly take advantage of her. He truly thought she wanted to be with him and it broke his heart that she didn’t remember what they had done.

 

Sighing Patrick snuck to the back of the cafeteria and threw away his lunch. Suddenly he wasn’t hungry anymore.

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

“Mr. Jackson, I was hoping to talk to you about the project in Phoenix.” Victor walked into Robin and Zach’s living room with his guards, fully prepared when Jason started to run towards the open door. “We have been through this before, there is no point in trying to run.”

 

Jason sat down on the couch in defeat. He didn’t know where he was but the place looked vaguely familiar. “What do you want Victor?”

 

“To share some news with you – your dear Samantha has finally moved on following your untimely death. She recently remarried.” Victor handed Jason a newspaper with the wedding announcement for Sam and a Dr. Silas Clay. “He is an oncologist – quite a change from you. She went from a man who took lives to a man who saves them.”

 

Jason stared at the announcement for a minute and finally put it down. “Is she happy?”

 

Victor watched him, curious about his reaction. “Yes, he treats her and your son very well.”

 

Jason nodded. “That’s all I want for them.” He stood and walked over to the mirror in the wall. “I don’t even look the same, I’m not sure she would recognize me anymore or if I am even the same man she married. If he can give her and Danny a good, safe life than I should stay dead.”

 

Victor was surprised, he was sure Jason would throw a fit, be angry or at least act out in some way. “Really? Well that is a very mature attitude for you to take. I must say that death becomes you. And as such, I am going to give you a little present.”

 

Jason wasn’t sure where Victor was going with this. Victor waved to his guards, one of whom brought out a device to scan the room and the other who brought a laptop over to the coffee table. Victor gestured to the couch and Jason sat down in front of the computer.

 

The guard with the device stopped at the painting over the fireplace and pulled it down, tearing the bug off the back of it and smashing it apart.

 

Victor placed a CD in the laptop. “Now that we are alone, here is your present.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 27

 

Robin walked into the house and went to turn on the lights when she heard a voice. “Stop.”

 

Zach came out of the kitchen with two candles and set them on the table. “Candlelight isn’t very romantic with the lights on.”

 

Robin laughed and nodded her head. She took off her coat and walked over to the table. “It’s beautiful. What’s the special occasion?”

 

Zach pulled out her chair and helped her sit down and then poured her a glass of wine. “Consider this an apology for being the world’s biggest jerk since we moved to Port Charles. I have let my jealousy over Patrick and your past together come between us and our future and that ends tonight. I want us to start our lives together in Port Charles over again, if you’ll let me?”

 

Robin smiled at her husband. “Of course I will. I love you.”

 

Zach smiled back at her. “And I love you, more than you know. Now, are you ready for an amazing dinner?”

 

Robin laughed. “That is a mighty big statement there – where did you order from?”

 

Zach gave her a mock pout but then smiled. “You know me too well. I ordered from that new French restaurant.”

 

“That sounds perfect.”

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

After a wonderful dinner, Robin and Zach settled on the couch for a little talk. Zach wanted to clear the air so they could truly have a new start.

 

“I understand that Patrick will always be a part of your life because of Emma and I promise that I will try not to let him to get to me again. I need to tell you that the night you were attacked, I went to see him.”

 

Robin shook her head. She should have known Zach wouldn’t let it go. “Why?”

 

“Because I wanted to know what he said to you that day to upset you. So I went to his house and I confronted him.” Zach shook his head at the memory. “He told me that I was going to lose you. That we didn’t really know each other and that eventually you would leave me to go back to him. That you shared a bond with him I never would.”

 

Understanding swept over Robin. “Emma. That’s why you brought up having a baby.”

 

“I know it was a reaction to what he said but I do want to have a child with you, that hasn’t changed. But I also understand why you are hesitant and want to wait. I want you to know that, even if we don’t have a child together, I will never regret marrying you. I love Emma and I am thrilled to be her stepdad. I need you to believe that.” Zach took her hand in his and gently kissed it.

 

Robin couldn’t help but tear up at his speech. “Of course I do. I love you and maybe I wasn’t trying to understand where you were coming from about having a baby when you first brought it up. You are amazing with Emma and I know you will be an amazing dad. Maybe we should revisit the issue.”

 

He smiled at her. “Are you sure? I don’t want to do anything to make you uncomfortable.”

 

Robin shook her head. “No, I have lived in fear for a long time about having another baby. I actually told Patrick no when he broached the subject after my return the dead.”

 

Zach looked at her in surprise. “So it really doesn’t have anything to do with him?”

 

“No, it doesn’t and I told you that. But there are ways to have a baby safely and prepare to handle the problems I had before. Maybe we could start to look into it, if you want to?” Robin wrapped her arms around Zach and gave him a kiss.

 

“Of course I want to.” Zach kissed her back. “But we’ll talk about that tomorrow. Tonight, I want to show you how much I love being married to you Robin.”

 

Zach picked up his wife and carried her to their bedroom.

Chapter 28

 

Robin was smiling as she walked up to the nurse’s station. “Hello Epiphany, any messages for me?”

 

Epiphany smiled back at her and handed Robin a couple of slips of paper. “Here you go Dr. Scorpio and have I told you how wonderful it is to have you back on staff?”

 

“Only every day since I came back.” Robin laughed. The day after Zach surprised her with the romantic dinner Robin received a call from Dr. Monica Quartermaine. Dr. Obrecht was let go as Chief of Staff and Monica had been reinstated. Monica's first order of business had been getting Robin back on staff. That had been three weeks ago and Robin felt like her life in Port Charles was finally falling into place.

 

“Well I mean it – this place just wasn’t the same without you.”

 

Robin nodded and went back to her chart. She was deep in thought when a pair of arms wrapped around her and hugged her tight. Giggling, Robin turned around and gave her husband a kiss. “What are you doing here?”

 

“I have an appointment with the board to go over my bid to update the security here and I thought I would spend a few minutes with my beautiful wife before it. How has your morning been?” Zach held her close.

 

“Busy, but good.” Robin was loving being back at GH. She was in charge of the lab and had spent the past three weeks getting it whipped back into shape. Now that the lab was running the way it should, Robin could start consulting on drug therapies and get back into her research full force.

 

“Will you be done before lunch – maybe we could grab a bite to eat?” Robin turned back around to grab her chart.

 

“That sounds great. Besides, I’ve got to make sure you two are both eating well.” Zach placed his hands on Robin’s belly.

 

“What do you mean you two?” Robin cringed when she heard Patrick’s voice behind them.

 

Zach turned around, purposely standing in front of Robin, and glared at Patrick. “I mean Robin and our baby.”

 

Patrick looked around Zach at Robin. “You’re pregnant?”

 

Robin took a deep breath and stepped around Zach so she could look her ex-husband straight in the eyes. “This isn’t how I wanted you to find out but, yes, I’m pregnant.”

 

Patrick tried to remain calm. “How far along are you?”

 

“Six weeks. We’re telling Emma and my parents tonight.” Robin stepped forward and took Patrick’s hands in hers. “I hope you can find a way to be happy for us.”

 

Patrick’s heart stopped and he had to fight the urge to grab Robin and drag her away from the hospital and Zach; to tell her that there was a chance that the child she was carrying was his. But he couldn’t tell her, at least not yet. Instead he squeezed her hands and smiled at her. “Of course I am. All I have ever wanted is for you to be happy.”

 

Leaning over, he gently kissed Robin on the cheek. “I have to go. Congratulations.”

 

Robin felt tears welling up in her eyes but held them back. “Thank you.”

 

Patrick gave her one last smile and then turned and walked away.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 29

 

Patrick walked into his patient’s room and found Robert sitting there waiting for him. “Good morning Dr. Drake.”

 

Patrick did a quick check on the comatose man in the bed while talking to his ex-father-in-law. “Robert, please tell me you have something, anything.”

 

“By the end of the week, Victor Cassadine will no longer be in charge of the WSB. We have managed to slowly remove the agents in his employ and now we can depose him. Frisco Jones is our man on the inside and I trust him completely. Robin is still being watched but we may be able to get to Jason.” Robert was hoping to finally flip the switch and bring Jason back permanently.

 

“Really - when?” Patrick could finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

“Tomorrow - Anna is making the arrangements. I’m sure you’ll want to be there.”

 

Patrick smiled. “I wouldn’t be anywhere else." Patrick thought about it for a moment and then began talking. "Robert there is something I need to tell you.”

 

Robert stood up and started towards the door. “If this is about the baby, we already know. It’s not ideal but…”

 

“The baby might be mine.” Patrick closed his eyes and waited for Robert to punch him.

 

Robert stopped at the door and turned around. “What do you mean it might be yours?”

 

“When Robin was sick and I brought her home to take care of her, she and I…” Patrick wasn’t sure how to explain exactly what had happened.

 

Robert was shocked. “I never thought Robin would ever cheat on Zach, even with you.”

 

“That’s the problem Robert, she doesn’t remember what happened.” Robert glared at Patrick. “She was running a fever and I thought, I mean I kissed her and she kissed me back and it had been so long since we had been together. I just gave in to that feeling but when she woke up the next morning she didn’t remember. I would never take advantage of her, I swear I thought she and I…” Tears rolled down Patrick’s face as he tried to explain his and Robin’s lovemaking that night.

 

Robert’s heart broke for him. Patrick had thought Robin was coming back to him and instead she thought she was dreaming. “So she doesn’t remember it all?”

 

“I overheard her talking to Liz and Robin had been remembering bits and pieces but Liz convinced her it was just a dream.”

 

“Patrick, I know you love my daughter and you would never take advantage of her." Robert put a comforting hand on the doctor's shoulder. "This certainly throws a wrinkle in things but it also makes me feel a little better that there is a chance that this child is yours and not Jason’s. Are you sure?” Robert didn’t want Patrick to get his hopes up.

 

“Robin told me yesterday she is six weeks pregnant and it was six weeks ago that it happened.” Patrick didn’t want to tell Robert but he was certain that the baby was his; there was actually not a doubt in his mind.

 

Robert nodded and headed towards the door. “Well then, we need to get them back home to you soon, don’t we?”

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Zach answered the door and smiled at his mother-in-law. “Anna, please come in.”

 

Anna waved him off. “No thank you, I can’t stay long – I’m on my way to the station. I just wanted to invite you to lunch with Robert and I tomorrow. We want to really talk to you and get to know you, especially with the baby coming. Say noon at my hotel room?”

 

Zach smiled at her. “Of course. Anna, this means so much to me and Robin.”

 

Anna nodded. “Us too. So, until tomorrow?”

 

“Until tomorrow.”

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Victor listened to the conversation, smiled and picked up his phone. “We are going to have a slight change of plans. Move everything up to tomorrow – Mr. Morgan will be visiting his in-laws and this is the perfect opportunity complete our mission.”

 

Victor hung up the phone and took a deep breath. Within 24 hours Anna and Robert would be dead and his research team would be complete.

Thank you for reading Lillybee - I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read what I write.

 

Word of warning - this story has taken on a life of its own in my crazy little head and will be longer than anything else I have posted - we're talking at least another month worth of postings, if not more. I encourage anyone to post stories of their own - I feel like I am monopolizing the whole thread lol.

 

Chapter 30

 

Robin was going over her grant proposal when she heard a knock on her office door. “Come in.”

 

Patrick opened the door and walked in to her office. “Good morning.” He strolled over to her desk and laid a bag and a container of orange juice on her desk.

 

Robin looked at the bag. “What’s this?”

 

“A peace offering. Cookies from Kelly’s and orange juice.”

 

Robin looked at him curiously. “A peace offering for what?”

 

Patrick thought about it and then came around the desk until he was standing right next to the chair Robin was sitting in. “Mr. Collins has decided to have surgery.”

 

“What?” Robin stood up, furious. “I’ve been working with him on that protocol for two weeks!”

 

Patrick had been prepared for this reaction. “And the tumor has shrunk enough that I can safely remove it. I talked to him this morning and he made his decision so I came to tell you.”

 

“I should have been there too.” She hated when he did things like this.

 

“You were working on your proposal. Calm down Robin, it’s not good for you or the baby.” Patrick was trying his damndest to not upset her.

 

“Why do you care?” She got in his face, as much as she could at her height anyways, and was yelling at him.

 

“Because.” God, she got to him.

 

“Because why?” She was only inches from his face and Patrick couldn’t help himself. He grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss.

 

Emotion took over from reason and Robin kissed him back. Kissing him felt so good, so right, so…

 

Robin pulled away and looked at Patrick. “Oh my God. It wasn’t a dream, was it?”

 

Patrick stepped back, a shamed look overcoming his face. “Robin, let me explain…”

 

Robin stood there in shock and then her hand went to her belly. Tears filled her eyes. “Please go.”

 

“Robin…”

 

Robin turned around as the tears fell down her face. “Please Patrick, I need to think and I can’t with you around. I just can’t.”

 

Patrick thought about and decided to do what she asked – he needed to meet Robert and Anna in a couple of hours anyway. “I’ll go but I will be back. I love you Robin.”

 

Robin sat down in her chair as the memory of that night came flooding over her. She and Patrick had made love, she had thought she was dreaming but it had actually happened - which meant that there was a possibility that the baby she was carrying was Patrick’s and not Zach’s.

 

She didn’t know what bothered her more – that the baby might be Patrick’s or that she wouldn’t be upset if it was.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Zach sat down on the couch in Anna’s room and drank the tea she had poured for him. “I am so glad we are doing this. I want to be on good terms with my child’s grandparents.”

 

He laughed but Robert and Anna just nodded. Robert had told Anna about his conversation with Patrick and they were both praying that the baby was his and not Zach’s. “Tell us more about yourself Zach.”

 

Zach smiled. “Well,” he stopped and shook his head. He was dizzy all of a sudden. The cup dropped from his hand and he tried to stand up but his legs wouldn’t work. “What did you do to me?”

 

A moment later Zach passed out. Robert pulled out his phone and called Frisco. “Is our ride here? Good, let’s go.”

 

10 minutes later the maid service left Anna’s room with a laundry cart full of towels and, underneath all the towels, Zach.

 

20 minutes after that, Robert, Anna and Patrick got in Robert's car and made their way to the safe house.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 31

 

“Where the hell am I?” Zach woke up tied to a chair and ready for a fight.

 

“Calm down. We brought you to a safe place so we can talk.” Anna sat across from him with Robert and Patrick standing right behind her.

 

Zach glared at Patrick. “You did this, didn’t you? You couldn’t stand to see Robin happy with someone else and you turned them against me.”

 

“No matter what you think, this isn’t about your marriage to Robin.” Patrick was trying to remain calm.

 

“Who are you kidding, this is all about my marriage to Robin. You can’t stand the fact that she is happy and having a baby with me!” Zach sneered at him.

 

Patrick stepped forward but Robert held him back. “Just listen to this.”

 

Robert held up his phone and pushed a button. Victor’s voice came out. “Mr. Jackson, I was hoping to talk to you about the project in Phoenix.”

 

Zach looked at them. “Listen to what?" Robert and Anna looked at each other in surprise, that should have worked. "Look I don’t know what the hell is going on but it needs to end, for Robin’s sake.” Zach looked at Patrick. “Come on, man.”

 

Patrick walked over and looked at Zach for a moment, studying him and then shook his head and punched Zach square in the jaw. “You son of a bitch!”

 

Robert pulled Patrick off him. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

 

Patrick started yelling. “How long? How long have you known?”

 

Anna looked at Patrick, confused. “Known what? Patrick, what does he know?”

 

Patrick shook Robert off. “Tell them.”

 

Zach straightened up in the chair and looked at Anna. “That my name isn't Zach Jackson, it's Jason Morgan.”

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Robin was trying to concentrate on her grant proposal but she just couldn’t - her mind was stuck on her earlier confrontation with Patrick.

 

Robin had always considered herself an honest and faithful person. With the exception of a kiss with another man during her battle with post partum depression, Robin had never cheated on a man and now she had not only cheated on Zach, she may be pregnant with another man’s baby. How did this happen?

 

Being honest with herself for the first time in a long time, Robin finally admitted the truth - it happened because it was Patrick. Try as she might, Robin could never get Patrick out of her mind, heart or soul. She loved Zach and there was a connection between them but it had never been as strong as it was with Patrick.

 

She never should have come back to Port Charles, she could see that now. If Robin and Zach had just stayed in Paris than they would be living a nice, normal life with Emma and there would be none of this confusion and heartache. But there is also a chance that Robin wouldn’t be pregnant and she wouldn’t change that for anything.

 

“This is ridiculous.” Robin picked up phone and called a familiar number. “Mac, can I come over? I need to talk to you about something very important. Ok, I’m leaving GH right now.”

 

Robin grabbed her purse and headed out of her office. She needed to see her Uncle Mac – he would help her figure out what to do.

 

Robin stepped off the elevator and into the parking garage and was headed to her car when she heard someone behind. “Dr. Scorpio?”

 

Robin turned around to see two men in suits approaching her. “Yes?”

 

“I’m Agent Salazar and this is Agent Marks with the WSB. Your father sent us to come and get you. Cesar Faison has been spotted nearby and they want to get you to a safe house.”

 

Robin was surprised but could see her parents being extra vigilant now that she was pregnant. “My husband and daughter…”

 

Agent Salazar led her to the van. “They will be meeting us at there.”

 

“Let me just call my Uncle and let him know…” Marks grabbed the phone out of Robin’s hand while Salazar continued pushing her to the van. “Hey!”

 

The van door slid open and before Robin could say anything, Salazar pushed her into it while Marks took her phone and threw it across the garage. Robin was grabbed by a pair of hands and her hands pulled behind her back. She felt a pair of handcuffs on her wrist and then her seat belt snapped in to place, holding her tight in the seat. Robin began to scream for help but whoever put the handcuffs on her threw a piece of duct tape over her mouth.

 

Robin was still struggling with her captors as the van took off.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 32

 

Robert undid Jason’s handcuffs while Patrick continued to glare at him. “How could you do this to her?” Patrick was furious at Jason.

 

“I’m doing this to protect her.” Jason shook his head and tried to explain. “It’s been three weeks since I finally found out everything. Victor came to our house and told me that Sam had gotten remarried and it hit me that, even though it bothered me, I wasn’t devastated like I should have been. I want her to be happy and she is.”

 

Patrick was waiting for Jason to get to the point. “But why keep up this charade? Why pretend to be Robin’s husband?”

 

“I'm not pretending, I am her husband." Jason took a deep breath. "I have been getting memory flashes from before the accident, from when I was Jason Quartermaine. Not all of my memories are back but I remember Robin.” Jason smiled. “Volunteering with her at the hospital, going on a picnic with her and Stone, visiting her when she was waiting for her HIV results. She was so always so amazing. I have loved her for years Patrick.”

 

“But you two have been over for years. She and I are meant to be together Jason.” Patrick wanted this nightmare to be over and Jason getting his memory back was the first step.

 

“My biggest regret is that I didn’t chase after her when she went to Paris that last time. I should have gone after her, fought for her. Don’t you see – this is our second chance, the chance to do what we should have done years ago. I love her Patrick, I always have and I always will. When Victor showed me the video of our wedding, I realized that this is what should have happened all those years ago. Robin, Emma and our baby are the most important things in my life and I will do anything to protect them.” Jason had no regrets for his decision.

 

Robert looked at Jason suspiciously. “What do you mean anything?”

 

Jason’s phone rang again, someone had been calling every 15 minutes since he had arrived at Anna’s place. Robert picked up the phone and, after putting it on speaker phone, pushed the end button to answer it. Jason spoke. “Hello.”

 

Victor spoke a single word. “Retribution.”

 

Victor listened with satisfaction as he heard a fight break out and then two gunshots. Jason got back on the phone. “It’s done.”

Robin was thrown onto a bed and her handcuffs removed. Before she could even move, her captors walked out the door and shut it behind them. Robin ran to the door and tried the handle but it was in vain, the door was locked. She looked around the room but there were no windows and, besides the bed, no furniture.

 

She went back over to the bed and sat down, gently rubbing her stomach. “It’s ok, we’ll figure this out.”

 

After a few minutes, the door opened and Victor Cassadine stepped in. “Good afternoon, Dr. Scorpio. It is so wonderful to see you again.”

 

Robin stared at the man in shock. “What the hell is going on?”

 

“Well, your manners are a bit lacking but given who you father is, well was, that is not surprising.” Victor strode into the room and smiled at her. “My dear Dr. Scorpio, I have such wonderful plans for us.”

 

“What are you talking about and what did you do to my father?” Robin was scared but trying her best not to show it.

 

“Me? I didn’t do anything - it was that wonderful husband of yours who took your parents out of the picture.” Robin shook her head but Victor continued. “No one is going to find you this time Robin.”

 

“Zach wouldn’t do that.”

 

“You’re probably right, Zach Jackson wouldn’t do that but Jason Morgan, well he is fully capable, isn’t he.” Victor was savoring every moment of his victory.

 

“But Jason is dead.”

 

“Rumors of Mr. Morgan’s death were greatly exaggerated. No, we rescued him and, after a little work, sent him back out into the world to a new life. A life he chose to create with you, dear Robin.”

 

Robin closed her eyes, trying to process everything Victor was throwing at her. She was certain her parents weren’t dead – Victor was bluffing about that but the claim about Zach…

 

Robin thought back to their first meeting, the instant connection they had both felt. She had always been comfortable around him and they slid into a routine easily, no effort required at all. She pictured his face and really looked into his eyes, those beautiful blue eyes. “Oh my God.”

 

“Yes, I thought you might feel that way. I’m going to give you a little time to yourself but dinner and your protocol will be here in a little while and then we can discuss your future here at this facility.”

 

Victor walked out but Robin barely registered it, she was too caught up in the revelation that she was married to Jason. How could she have not seen it? Did Jason even have a clue that he was married to her? Then it hit her – she may be pregnant with Jason’s baby.

 

Overwhelmed by every revelation that she had been hit with over the day, Robin finally gave in to her emotions, laid down on the bed and just cried.

Chapter 33

 

Jason hung up the phone and looked at Patrick. “Everyone ok?”

 

Patrick stood there speechless trying to calm himself and just nodded. No matter how often he heard it, Patrick would never get used to the sound of a gun going off.

 

Robert snatched the gun from Jason’s hand. “What the hell was that?”

 

“I was supposed to kill you. You and Anna both.”

 

Anna looked at the holes in the floor of the room. “Not that I’m complaining but why didn’t you?”

 

“Robin would never forgive me if I had anything to do with hurting you.” Jason looked at Patrick. “Is Robin still at the hospital?”

 

“She was there when I left a few hours ago.”

 

“Good – we need to get to her.” They all turned around and looked at Jason. “This is all about Robin. Victor is doing all of this to gain complete control over her. If you two are dead then…”

 

Robert interrupted, “he could take Robin and not worry about us tracking her down – damn it!”

 

Anna pulled out her phone. “I’ll call Mac and get him over to the hospital.” Anna was about to dial his number when her phone rang. “Mac? What is it? No, I haven’t spoken to her all day. Of course, we’re on our way.”

 

Anna hung up her phone and looked at the three men standing before her. “Robin called Mac about an hour ago and said she was on her way over to talk to him. She never showed up and now he can’t get her to answer her phone.”

 

Patrick kicked over one of the chairs. “Bastard! He has her, doesn’t he Jason?”

 

Jason sat down and put his head in his hands. “I think he does.”

 

Robert went into agent mode. “Anna, call Mac back and have him go get Emma from school. Maybe today might be a good day for Mac and Felicia to take Emma on a little trip. I don’t care where, just get her away from Port Charles.”

 

Anna nodded and got back on the phone. Robert turned to Patrick and Jason. “Jason, call Victor back and see what he wants you to do next. Then I want you to sit down with Patrick and list every place that Victor could possibly be hiding Robin.”

 

Jason nodded and looked at Robert. “And what will you be doing?”

 

Robert picked up his phone and smiled. “It’s time to call in a few favors.”

 

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Patrick stared across the table at Jason and fought every urge to punch the man again. Jason finished his list and sighed. “How did you know?”

 

“Know what?”

 

“That I wasn’t Zach. I have been very careful about maintaining my cover but you figured it out.” Jason was truly curious about what had given him away.

 

“It was the last thing you said. Something about the way you said it struck a nerve in me. Zach never talked like that but you…”

 

Jason shook his head. “Very good Patrick.” They sat there in silence for a few minutes until Jason spoke again. “I meant what I said – I do love her.”

 

“But she is in love with Zach, not you Jason.” Patrick was debating telling Jason about his and Robin’s night together.

 

“But I am Zach. Zach is a combination of Jason Morgan and Jason Quartermaine, he had both of them in him. I have to admit, I was thrown when Victor showed me the tape of our wedding but watching it made me realize how much I had to lose. All of these memories came flooding through and it was like I could see everything clearly for the first time in years. Robin and I love each other and I know that when this is all over Robin will choose to stay with me and we will raise our child together. It is inevitable.” Jason’s conviction was evident in every word he spoke.

 

Patrick couldn’t stand the look on Jason’s face, the certainty that Robin would choose Jason over him. “And what if she doesn’t? Despite what you think, Robin still does love me and I am not going anywhere.”

 

“We’ll see. Don’t forget, she is pregnant with my child. I lost her once because I just gave up and let her go and I will not make the same mistake again – I am fighting for her and us this time. I’m not going anywhere either.”

 

Every time Jason mentioned the baby Patrick was tempted to tell him that the baby might not be his but that wasn’t Patrick’s place, Robin needed to tell him. Instead, Patrick stood up and walked towards the door. “Right now the only thing we need to worry about is bringing Robin home. Why don’t we see what Robert has found out?”

[Ambrosefolly]

Morgan frames Michael as the worst thing in the world: someone with a drinking problem. Michael still manages to hold onto to custody. It is revealed that Carly messed with the paternity test and Morgan is Avery's bio dad. Carly pleads with Morgan that the reason she didn't reveal even after Michael took Avery is because she was afraid she would lose him to and Morgan accuses her of AJing him and cuts her out. Judge Cockblock tells Morgan that he can have custody of Avery contingent on him staying from Sonny. Being Avery's dad lights a fire under Morgan, and he decides to become an EMT instead of relying on family money (Jax's offers). Him and Michael remain estranged.Jakeson tells Carly that her behavior not only cost her both sons, but it also cost the relationship between each other.

Chapter 34

 

Robin finished her dinner and took her pills on schedule then looked around the sparse room. There was nothing to do so she got up and walked around the room, trying to stretch her legs as best she could.

 

After a few minutes the door opened and Victor walked in. “Good evening Dr. Scorpio. I trust dinner was to your liking?”

 

Robin shook her head at the man. “It was fine. What do you want?”

 

Victor smirked at her. “Straight to the point – I like that. Please let me know if there is anything in particular you want, any cravings you might have.”

 

Robin’s hands instinctively went to her belly. “You know?”

 

Victor continued surveying Robin’s room. “Of course, I know everything.” He walked around the room. “We’ll bring in some books for you, maybe a TV. I want you to be comfortable in your new home.”

 

Robin sat down on the bed. “What makes you think I am staying here?”

 

“Well the way I see it you really have no choice.” Victor went back to the door. “You are now heading up my research team – you will meet them in the morning and get to work.” Victor smiled at Robin. “I have worked very hard to acquire your talents Dr. Scorpio and I have no intention of letting you leave.”

 

Robin stopped him before he got out the door. “Wait – may I ask you a question?”

 

Victor turned around. “Certainly my dear.”

 

Robin took a deep breath and let it out before asking her question. “Does Jason know that…”

 

Victor interrupted her. “That he is Zach, yes, he does now.”

 

“What do you mean now?”

 

“Well his memory needed a little jogging but he has known everything for about 3 weeks now. He chose to stay Zach Jackson and to stay married to you. The poor boy is madly in love with you and will do anything to protect you.”

 

Victor decided to throw one last bomb on Robin. “Much like your pitiful ex-husband.”

 

Robin straightened up when Victor mentioned Patrick.”Yes, you see your Dr. Drake divorced you to protect you, under my orders of course. You know he actually performed the surgery that brought Mr. Morgan back to you. Poor fool actually thought that he would be able to explain it to you and apologize after the work I needed him for was completed. Pity he will never get the chance. Good night Dr. Scorpio.” Victor gave Robin one last smile and left her alone for the night.

 

Robin sat there absorbing what Victor had said. Deep down she had known that there was a reason why Patrick had divorced her that he hadn't told her but she never imagined that he had been blackmailed into it. And Jason knew the truth and chose to stay with her.

 

Robin laid down and gently rubbed her belly. She had complete faith that her parents were still alive and would find her and bring her home. The problem was that Robin wasn't certain where home was anymore: with Jason or Patrick?

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Robert paced the floor. “You don’t understand Frisco, this is my little girl we are talking about. I want her found and I want her found now.”

 

“Mac and Felicia have Emma and are taking her to a safe house outside of Port Charles.” Anna was happy to give the men a little good news.

 

“What did Mac tell her?” Patrick didn’t want Emma to worry about her mom.

 

Anna gave Patrick a calming look. “That he and Felicia wanted to spend a little time alone with her before the baby comes.”

 

Patrick smiled at Anna, grateful for the lie. He turned to Jason. “What did Victor say?”

 

“That he would contact me with my next assignment. I have a feeling that he intends to kill me, no loose ends that way.” Jason went up to Robert. “Any news yet?”

 

“No, Frisco has successfully replaced Victor as the head of the WSB but he hasn’t found out where Victor has Robin yet. Trust me when I say that I want to find her as badly as you do.” Robert was answering Jason but looking at Patrick. The truth was that Robert still considered Patrick Robin’s husband, not Jason.

 

“What can we do now?” Patrick felt helpless and he hated feeling that way.

 

“Unfortunately there is not much for any of us to do but wait. Now that Victor has been deposed as head of the WSB, his resources will be extremely limited so we can take advantage of that to track him down. He is holed up in a WSB facility, we just need to figure out which one. Until then, we go home and get some rest, we’re going to need it once we find her. I will call you as soon as we have any news.” Robert tried to be reassuring but he wasn’t very convincing.

 

“That’s easier said than done Robert.” Patrick sighed and headed for the door. “You’ll call me as soon as you hear anything?”

 

“The very moment.” One way or another, they were finding their girl and bringing her home.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 35

 

Robin stared at the monitor and rubbed her eyes. One day here and she was already going crazy. The project Victor wanted her to work on was simply germ warfare and she wanted nothing to do with it – she wanted to save lives, not destroy them.

 

Robin looked at the clock and relaxed. Victor had told her someone would be down to get her and take her back to her room at 5pm and it was 4:59. Robin shut down her computer and waited for the door to open.

 

Robin was about to get up and head to the door when she heard a commotion in the hallway and then gunfire. Acting on instinct, she dropped down underneath the desk and hid. A few minutes later she heard the door open and someone walked in the door.

 

“Robin?”

 

Tears filled her eyes and Robin jumped up from under the desk. “Dad?”

 

Robert lowered his gun and ran over to his daughter, taking her in his arms in a tight hug. “Oh sweetheart, it is so good to see you.”

 

“It is so good to see you too.” Robin smiled at her father. “I knew he was lying.”

 

“Victor told you I was dead?” Robert wasn’t surprised.

 

“Yes but I didn’t believe him – not for a second. Daddy, there is something I need to tell you. It’s about…” More gunfire interrupted Robin and Robert threw her behind him, shielding her with his body while moving them both away from the open door.

 

Victor strode into the room and glared at Robert. “I guess the old saying is true – if you want something done, you have to do it yourself.” Victor was holding a pistol in his hand and pointed in at Robert.

 

“No!” Robin pushed her father to the side as several shots rang out.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Patrick paced the floor of Anna’s office while Jason sat at her desk, staring at a picture of Robin and Emma. Both men had been brought there to wait, under guard, while Anna, Robert and the WSB went in to rescue Robin.

 

“I still don’t understand why we couldn’t go with them.” Jason was upset that he couldn’t go with them on the mission.

 

“Because we aren’t agents with the WSB.” Patrick didn’t like the situation any better than Jason, but he understood why it had to be that way. It was killing him to wait but he had complete faith in Robert and Anna to get Robin and bring her home.

 

Jason didn’t say anything else. An eerie silence filled the room as they waited for news. Time seemed to be crawling by and a minute felt like hours. Patrick said a silent prayer for Robin and the baby as Jason continued to just stare at the picture. Finally, the guard came in the door.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

Patrick had a bad feeling that something had gone wrong. “Where are we going?”

 

The guard looked at both men and delivered the news. “To General Hospital – Dr. Scorpio is on her way there now.”

 

Jason jumped up from the chair. “Why? What happened?”

 

“I don’t know the details, all I know is she is being taken there because she was injured in the rescue.”

 

Patrick walked up to the guard and stared him straight in the eyes. “Injured how?”

 

The guard took a deep breath. “She was shot.”

 

Patrick and Jason looked at each other and rushed out the door.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 36

 

“Anna!” Patrick ran into the ER and straight to Anna with Jason and the guard right behind him. “How is she?”

 

Anna glared briefly at the guard for worrying the man and then smiled at her ex-son-in-law. “She’s fine.”

 

“But he said she was shot.” Patrick pointed at the guard.

 

“She was shot in the right arm but it went straight through and there was no major damage. They are keeping her overnight for observation but both she and the baby are fine.” Anna put a comforting hand on Patrick’s arm and gently patted it.

 

Jason sighed in relief. “What happened?”

 

“She was protecting me.” Robert came up behind the men with Mac and Felicia. “Victor was aiming for me and Robin pushed me out of the way and he shot her in the arm. I wasn’t expecting her to do that or I would have…”

 

Patrick could see the pain in Robert’s eyes and quickly went over to him. “No one is blaming you, Robin lost you once and she would do anything to stop that from happening again. Victor is the one to blame. Please tell me that he was arrested.”

 

“No he wasn’t arrested.” Patrick’s stomach clenched up at Robert’s words.

 

“Why not?”

 

“Because he is dead.” Robert smiled warmly at Anna. “My ex-wife is a hell of a shot.”

 

“He was trying to kill you, only I get to do that.” Anna smirked at Robert.

 

Jason really didn’t care about any of this. “Where is my wife?”

 

Anna pointed down the hall. “Room 529 – she wanted to see both of you when you got here." She looked at Jason. "Why don’t you go first?”

 

Jason didn’t need to be told twice – he ran down the hall to Robin’s room. He took a deep breath and walked in. One look at Robin and he rushed over to the bed and kissed her. “Thank God you’re okay. I don’t know what I would have done if something had happened to you,” he placed a hand on her belly, “or the baby.”

 

Robin studied him for a moment. How could she have not seen that this was Jason? It was obvious now that she knew – the eyes gave it away. “The baby and I are both fine but we need to talk. I have had a lot of things thrown at me in the past few days and I am trying to make sense of them one by one, so I will start with you. Victor told me the truth – that you are Jason.”

 

Jason nodded. It had to be a shock to find out, especially that way, but he hoped it was a good shock.

 

“He also told me that, while you didn’t know at first, you have known for weeks and didn’t tell me.” Robin couldn’t keep the hurt out of her voice. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

 

Jason took her hands in his and realized there was nothing he could say that would make sense to her. He hadn’t told her for completely selfish reasons. “Because I love the life we have and I was afraid I would lose it if you knew the truth. Victor was threatening me but I could have found a way to tell you if I really wanted to. I couldn't risk losing you Robin, not now.”

 

Robin wiped away the tears that had begun falling down her cheeks.

 

“You know what this reminds me of?” Robin shook her head. “Years ago, when Stone was still alive, you were sick and I came by to see you. You had taken another HIV test and you were waiting for the results. You were in your room, sitting in your robe and you told me that you were smart to have chosen me for your first love.”

 

“You remember being Jason Quartermaine?” Robin was shocked at his revelation.

 

“Not everything, bits and pieces really, but they all revolve around you. You are a part of me Robin, more so than anyone I have ever known. I love you and I want to be with you. That's why I didn't tell you - because I didn't want to lose you.”

 

“What about Sam?” Robin was having a hard time believing he didn’t love her anymore.

 

“A part of me will always love Sam but that was a different man, a man I can’t be anymore. She is happy with her husband and I am happy with my wife. I do want to get to know my son but Sam and me are done.” Robin could see that Jason believed every word he was saying.

 

Sensing that Robin was feeling overwhelmed, Jason stood up. “I know you need time to process all of this and I am more than willing to give it to you because I know that we belong together. Now get some rest, you both need it.”

 

Robin looked at him and took a deep breath before speaking. “There’s one more thing you need to know.”

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Patrick paced the hallway, slowly driving everyone crazy. “Patrick, please sit down, you’ll be able to see her in just a few minutes.”

 

“Thank you Anna, but I prefer to stand. I can’t sit still, not until I see for myself that she is okay.” Patrick was full of nervous energy and walking was the only outlet he had for it at the moment.

 

“I understand but they are going to need to replace the floor soon if you don’t…” Anna was interrupted by a body slamming into Patrick’s and driving him against a wall.

 

Everyone looked on in shock as Jason held Patrick against the wall, his arm against Patrick’s throat. “How could you!” Jason dropped his arm long enough to punch Patrick in the jaw.

 

Robert and Mac both jumped up and grabbed the men, Mac holding Jason back and Robert holding back Patrick. “I will not explain what happened to you!”

 

“You took advantage of her – she didn’t know what she was doing.” Jason was still trying to get to Patrick but years of training helped Mac keep him at bay.

 

“I would never take advantage of her. I love her Jason.” Patrick already felt an enormous amount of guilt over Robin and his night together.

 

Mac dropped his arms from around Jason and swung him around. He looked at the man carefully and then punched him. “You son of a bitch – you lied to her, to all of us!”

 

Everyone was shocked at Mac’s outburst but they hadn’t been here for the years when Jason and Robin were first together – he had. “You put her life in danger for years and now you change your face so you can do it again. Is it fun for you to play with her heart and mind that way?”

 

Jason was caught off guard. He had been so upset about what Robin had told him that he had completely forgotten that almost everyone still thought he was Zach. “Mac, I can explain.”

 

“I don’t want your explanations.” Felicia walked over and wrapped her arms around her husband, trying to calm him down. “I want you out of Robin’s life.”

 

“No offense Mac, but that is Robin’s decision to make, not yours. What I will do, however, is move out to give Robin time to make that decision.” Jason backed off but gave Patrick one final glare. “I am sure Monica will let me move back into the Quartermaine mansion. I’ll go talk to her right now.”

 

Jason left and Patrick took a moment to make himself presentable before heading down to Robin’s room.

Chapter 37

 

Patrick walked into Robin’s room, softly shutting the door behind him. “I just wanted to see for myself that you are okay.”

 

“You can come in. I think we have a few things to discuss.” Robin gestured to the chair on the left side of her bed and Patrick sat down.

 

They sat there in silence, trying to figure out exactly what to say when Patrick broke the silence. “So, another gunshot wound?”

 

Robin laughed out loud and patted her bandaged right arm. “At least it was a different arm this time.”

 

The tension broken, Patrick leaned over and took her hand. “I’m just happy that both of you are going to be okay. That is all that matters to me.”

 

Robin squeezed his hand. “I know.”

 

“Well I would hope so…”

 

“No Patrick, I know. I know Victor blackmailed you into divorcing me.” Robin needed to get it all out in the open.

 

“Oh.” Patrick bit his lip before responding. “I wanted to tell you but every time I tried something happened.”

 

“Like me getting attacked in the parking garage.” Patrick nodded. “And those phone calls you would get when we were talking – those were Victor, weren’t they?”

 

“Yes. He had my house bugged and men following you. I was so scared that he would do something to hurt you or Emma and I couldn’t live with myself it that happened.” Patrick hoped he was getting through to her.

 

“I understand and I would have done the same thing. But it doesn’t change the fact that I am married to another man who I do love.” Patrick felt the tears coming but held them back. “I am very confused right now – I never dreamed that I would ever be in the position where I love two very different men, and they love me, but here I am."

 

Patrick felt a little bit of relief when he realized what Robin was saying – she still loved him.

 

“I need some time to figure things out, it is just too much to try and figure out overnight. Zach, sorry, Jason is moving out so I am going to stay at my new place for now.”

 

“I understand. Take all the time you need.” Patrick wasn’t just paying Robin lip service, he truly did understand her dilemma.

 

“There is something else we need to talk about – the baby.”

 

Patrick gently rubbed his chin. “I know you told Jason that it might be mine.”

 

Robin hadn’t noticed the bruise forming on Patrick’s jaw but she saw it now. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t think he would attack you, especially not here in the hospital.”

 

“It’s okay – your Uncle Mac punched him for me. He wasn’t too happy to discover you are married to Jason.”

 

Robin chuckled. “Oh, I bet he wasn’t.” Robin closed her eyes and shook her head – she would talk to Mac in a little bit. “This is such a mess.”

 

“Well, we’ll figure a way out of it together.” Patrick looked at her and gently rubbed her hand.

 

“About the night we made love, I know you weren’t trying to take advantage of me. You respect me too much to do that. I was caught off guard when I remembered but I can’t honestly say I regret it, especially if this baby is yours. No matter what happens, I want you to know that.” Robin was trying desperately to be strong.

 

“I feel the same way.”

 

“We won’t know until the baby is born who is the father – any prenatal DNA tests carry too great a risk of additional exposure of HIV to the baby and I will not risk it.” Robin had told Jason the same thing before he left.

 

“Again, I understand but it doesn’t matter to me who the biological father is – I still want to be the father of this child and raise her with you.” Patrick didn’t know why he called the baby a girl, it was just a feeling he had.

 

Robin felt her resolve to not cry slipping. “Thank you for understanding.” She needed to change the subject before she lost her composure. “Where is Emma?”

 

Patrick caught on to what she was doing but let it go. “At Maxie’s, Mac dropped her off before he headed over. I’m going to go get her and take her home for the night and then tomorrow we can come together to pick you up and take you home, if it’s okay with you?”

 

“It’s definitely okay with me. Give her a kiss for me?”

 

Patrick leaned over and kissed Robin softly on the lips. “Of course. We’ll see you in the morning.”

 

Patrick left and Robin laid down, let the tears she had been holding back fall and tried to rest. Gently, she stroked her still flat stomach. “Well little one, one thing is for certain – no matter who your father is, he wants you and loves you.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 38

 

Mac sat by Robin’s bedside, watching her sleep. His anger at Zach, well Jason, had been only been a little sated when he had punched the man but Mac still had plenty of it left. But right now wasn’t about him and his anger, it was about Robin and the baby.

 

“What are you thinking about? How good it felt to punch Jason?” Robin woke up to find Mac smiling at her.

 

“It did feel pretty damn good but no – I’m thinking about how happy I am to have you home and safe.” Mac took her hand in his. “You have got to stop doing this to me, I’m not a young man anymore.”

 

Robin laughed. “I’ll try to remember that the next time I get kidnapped.”

 

“There won’t be a next time because I am not letting you out of my sight. I told you not to leave me like that ever again.” Mac reached up and gently pushed a lock of hair behind her hair. “I love you and when you didn’t show up yesterday…”

 

“I’m sorry I scared you. Thank you for protecting Emma.” Her parents had told her Mac had taken care of Emma after Victor took her.

 

“Anything for my girls, you know that.” Mac looked at her. “The baby – that’s what you were coming to talk to me about yesterday, wasn’t it?”

 

Robin nodded. “Yes. When I was sick, I was a little out of it and Patrick and I,” she stopped, not wanting to say it in front of her uncle, “anyway, there’s a chance that the baby is Patrick’s.”

 

Mac had already figured that out by Jason’s attack. “And you don’t know how you feel about that.”

 

“I was already confused before I found out that Zach was Jason but now, I am just not sure what my next move is. Both men swear that they love me and want to be with me and that, no matter who the father is, they will be there for all of us.” Mac had always been Robin’s rock and a great source of advice and guidance, both of which she desperately needed right now.

 

“I’m assuming that we need to wait for the baby to be born before we can find out who the father is because of your HIV status?” Mac had become an expert on HIV since his niece was first diagnosed years ago.

 

“Yes, any procedure would expose the baby and I will not put her at risk.”

 

Mac smiled. “So you think it’s another girl?” Robin nodded. “Not that I don’t love my girls but I am still hoping for a boy just to shake things up a little bit.”

 

Robin giggled. “Sorry but Patrick and I both think it’s going to be a girl.”

 

Mac didn’t think Robin actually realized what she had said but he did. “And Jason – what does he think?”

 

“I don’t know – he never said. He was kind of distracted by the fact that she may not be his.”

 

“I can understand that.” Mac did understand Jason’s hurt and confusion, even if he hated to admit it. “We have 7 months to figure out this whole mess. Let’s concentrate on what’s important right now – you’re home and you’re safe.”

 

Robin reached over and hugged her uncle. She decided it was time for a change of subject. “So tell me all about your night with Emma.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 39

 

Robin smiled as her mom fussed over her. “Are you comfortable? Do you need another pillow?”

 

“Mom, I’m fine. Why don’t you sit down on the couch and talk to me. Have you found Helena and Stavros yet?” Robin was worried that the Cassadines would retaliate against Anna for killing Victor.

 

Anna gave a little laugh. “We have Stavros. He went to Lulu’s apartment to try and see her and was captured there.”

 

Robin rolled her eyes at the man’s stupidity. “Oh dear God. And Helena?”

 

Anna shook her head. “Helena is still on the loose. Nikolas promised to let us know if she tried to contact him.”

 

“So that explains why there is still a guard on me and Emma. You’re afraid she may go after me to get back at you.” Anna wasn’t surprised that Robin had noticed the guard. Unfortunately, Robin was well aware of the fact that she was always going to be a target for her parents enemies. “Don't worry - Nikolas would never help that woman. If he said he would contact you, he will.”

 

Robin reached over and patted her mom’s hand. “So, you want to tell me why you are really here? I assume Uncle Mac talked to you.”

 

It had been two days since Robin’s release from the hospital. Robin was on bed rest for the next week so Patrick and Emma had picked her up as promised and they had spent the day together watching movies and just being lazy. Yesterday, Jason had come over and they had spent the day playing games and eating junk food, reminding her of the time she spent in Paris with him and Emma. She had thought spending time alone with each of the men would help clarify her feelings but she was still as confused as ever.

 

Today, both men were at work, Emma was in school and Anna had come over to spend the day with Robin, giving her a little bit of a break. “Never could fool you. He did but I was going to talk to you anyhow. I wanted to see how you were doing with the whole situation.”

 

“Coping is the best way to describe it. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, just trying to figure out what I want to do.” Robin was still very much torn between the two men in her life.

 

Anna decided to play devil’s advocate for her daughter. “Let me ask you a question – if it had been Jason Morgan instead of Zach who asked you to marry him, would you have said yes?”

 

“There’s a problem with that question – Jason Morgan, as we knew him, doesn’t exist anymore. The memories are there but the man himself has changed.” Robin took a deep breath and then continued. “Jason doesn’t want to be that man anymore – the mob enforcer. He has already spoken to Monica and Michael about incorporating his security firm into ELQ. He has an appointment set up with Kevin to begin dealing with his memories returning and what he did as Jason Morgan. He even told Carly to never come near him again.”

 

Anna looked at Robin in shock at that last statement. “Wait a second, he cut Carly out of his life? Why?”

 

“Because of AJ and the fact that she helped Sonny cover up his murder.” Robin was proud of Jason for sticking up for his late brother. “Don’t you see, Jason Morgan wouldn’t have even cared but Jason Quartermaine, he would have done anything for his brother. If that isn’t proof that he has changed, I don’t know what is.”

 

Robin waited a moment and then continued. “The man I fell in love with in Paris - that was Jason Quartermaine with maybe a little Jason Morgan in there.” Anna gave Robin a questioning look. “His protectiveness of me and Emma. Anyway, he still is the man I went for long walks in the park with. He’s still the man who surprised Emma and me with Taylor Swift tickets, the man who spent days taking care of Emma while I was immersed in grading final exams. He’s the man who held me when I was falling apart because it was some silly little anniversary of mine and Patrick’s. And he is still the man who helped me pick up the pieces of my heart and helped me love again. It’s not as simple a choice as I wish it were.”

 

Anna listened to what Robin was saying and truly grasped for the first time how torn her daughter was. “And Patrick?”

 

Robin thought for a moment and the answered her mom. “I was devastated when he left me. It wasn’t just that he left, it was the way he did it. It was the things he said to me, the pain he caused. The truth is that, in a lot of ways, his leaving hurt me so much worse than when Jason and I ended our relationship all those years ago because there was so much more invested. I spent all that time getting back to him only to have him give up on us without warning and even now, knowing why he did it, it doesn’t take away the pain.”

 

Robin wiped away the tears that had begun flowing down her face. “But it also doesn’t take away the love I feel for him. We have been through so much together. I mean, from the beginning it seems like it has been one crisis after another and somehow we always found our way back to each other. We share Emma and we have a bond that I could never ever explain or deny. No matter what happens, I will always love Patrick but…”

 

“But it isn’t as easy as just going back to that life with him, is it?” Anna was crying by this time as well. She wanted to fix this for her daughter, make it better, but she knew she couldn’t. This was something Robin had to figure out on her own.

 

“No, it’s not.” Robin bit her lip, deep in thought. “I need to take some time to figure out what I want and who I want to have it with.”

 

“And the baby?” Anna wasn’t sure if Robin might make a decision based solely on the paternity of the baby.

 

“Not a factor in determining who I will be with. I see no point in putting myself or my children in the wrong home based solely on DNA. Both men are ready, willing and able to be this child’s father, whether they are linked biologically or not. No, my decision will be based on who I love and want to spend the rest of my life with.” Robin wasn’t certain of many things right now, but she was certain about that.

 

Anna involuntarily sighed in relief. The odds were definitely in Jason’s favor when it came to being the baby’s father. “So, what happens now?”

 

“I’ve encouraged Jason to go and talk to Sam and make sure that there isn’t a future there. It’s only fair to her, Danny and us. Unfortunately, Sam and Silas’s marriage has been invalidated now that Jason is back from the dead so they do have to deal with that plus they had filed paperwork to have Silas adopt Danny. They need to work together to decide what is best for their son.” Robin wasn’t sure what Sam would think about the new Jason.

 

“And if they decide to get back together?”

 

“Our marriage isn’t valid either so at least we don’t have a legal mess no matter what happens.”

 

Anna scooted closer and squeezed her daughter’s hand. “No, just an emotional one.”

 

Robin nodded. “If Jason decides to go back to Sam it doesn’t automatically mean that I will get back together with Patrick. I have never needed a man to be happy and I will not be with someone just to be with someone – it wouldn’t be fair to any of us.”

 

Anna patted Robin’s hand. “I understand.” She got up and went to her bag, pulling out several DVD’s. “Enough serious stuff – I have popcorn, a box of fudge mocha brownie ice cream bars in the fridge and a bunch of movies. Time for some mother-daughter bonding.”

 

Robin laughed as her mother put in a movie and settled back on the couch with her for the day.

Thanks for chapter 38, cmahorror. I love being able to read Mac and Robin interact.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 40

 

“How are you doing Drake?” Mac had invited Patrick to breakfast at Kelly’s so he could see what was going on between the good doctor and his niece.

 

“I’m doing okay.” Patrick picked at his food. “I still can’t believe it’s over.”

 

“Well believe it. Victor Cassadine is dead and gone. Stavros is in jail and they’ll have Helena soon enough.” Helena hadn’t attempted to contact Nikolas or rescue Stavros yet but Robert had told Mac that he had no doubts that she would soon enough. Victor had only been dead two weeks and Helena needed time to plan her next move.

 

“And yet I am still paying for what he did.” Robin still hadn’t made a decision about who she was going to be with. Patrick was trying to be patient but it was difficult.

 

Patrick knew that Jason was divorcing Sam and had reconnected with his family. Monica was thrilled to have her son back and Michael was bonding with his uncle over AJ. Tracey was still a little suspicious but even she was beginning to accept that Jason Quartermaine was back to stay.

 

Patrick was keeping a safe distance. Robin was back to work and they saw each other there and they spoke about Emma, of course. Robin had even given Patrick a copy of the sonogram she had done when she first found out she was pregnant. Patrick carried it around with him in his wallet next to Emma and Robin’s pictures.

 

“Listen Patrick, I know this is hard on you but you need to have faith.” Mac was attempting to be a comfort to the man. “Robin and you have a special connection, one I have never seen her have with anyone else, including Jason. The two of you have a fire, a passion that drives everyone around you crazy. From the moment you met, you have brought out the best in each other in the most annoying ways possible.”

 

Patrick laughed.

 

“My point is that you need to remember that spark, the same one that kept you chasing after Robin even after she rejected you time and again. How many months did it take you to get her to agree to a real date with you?”

 

“Three.” Patrick knew he couldn’t count the one he had blackmailed Robin into having with him or the time he had joined her table at the Metro Court, the night he had found out her HIV status.

 

“Exactly my point – you didn’t give up on her then and I hope you don’t plan on giving up on her now. Sometimes it helps to go back to the beginning, gain some perspective on where you were and how far you have come.” Mac hoped his advice would stop Patrick from giving up on Robin. The last thing he wanted was for Robin to end up with Jason, even if she was carrying his child.

 

“You know what Mac, you’re right.” Patrick got a devilish smile on his face. “I know exactly what I am going to do.”

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

"Epiphany, could I please have the Lowe chart?” Robin was nearing the end of a long shift and just finished checking on her last patient of the day. After this, she could get Emma, go home and have a nice, quiet evening with her daughter.

 

“Certainly Dr. Scorpio – how are you doing today?” Epiphany handed her the chart and gave her a small smile.

 

“I’m good, just ready to go home and put my feet up.” Robin was going over her notes when she felt a familiar hand on her shoulder.

 

“Excuse me miss, could you please show me to the lab?”

 

Robin looked at Patrick, a confused look filling her face. “What…”

 

“Oh sorry, Dr. Patrick Drake.” Patrick put out his hand and Robin took it, softly shaking it.

 

“Dr. Robin Scorpio.” She wasn’t sure where Patrick was going with it but she was willing to play along, at least for now.

 

“You’re a doctor? Can you even see over the nurse’s desk?” Patrick gave her his best smirk.

 

“Yeah, I’m a real doctor and everything. Now, do you want to stand there being a jerk or do you want to see the lab?” Robin gave as good as she got – she always had.

 

Epiphany watched the two doctors and felt like she was either going crazy or had stepped back in time – what the hell were they doing?

 

Patrick smiled, still not quite believing that Robin was going along with this. Robin finished making her notes and handed the chart back to Epiphany before turning back to Patrick. “Shall we Dr. Drake?”

 

Patrick stepped back to let Robin in front of him. “After you, Dr. Scorpio.”

 

Patrick watched as Robin took a few steps away from the desk and then he stepped into the hall with her, falling into step right beside her as they headed to the lab.

"So, what can you tell me about the lab director - I heard she's a real hard ass."

 

Robin shook her head. "Well, only to neurosurgeons who are conceited, egocentric jerks. Everyone else thinks she is a sweetheart."

 

Patrick gave her a mock look of pain. "That is certainly a very specific group to have an issue with. I certainly hope she is open to considering being a little kinder to them. After all, conceited jerks have feelings too."

 

Robin pretended to consider what he was saying. "Well, maybe if they were willing to admit that her drug protocols are helpful and not a waste of time, maybe she could go a little easier on him, I mean them."

 

"Well, I am happy to see that a compromise is possible." Patrick gave her a wink.

 

Robin stopped in front of the lab, sad that their short journey together was over. "Here we are."

 

"Thank you for the directions." Patrick held out his hand again. Robin gave him her hand but Patrick didn't shake it. Instead, he gently pulled her hand up to his lips and gave it a soft kiss. "It was very nice meeting you Dr. Scorpio."

 

Robin looked down shyly and then back at Patrick. She bit her lip and smiled. "It was very nice meeting you too, Dr. Drake."

 

Patrick gave her once last smile, slowly let go of her hand and then headed down the hall. After walking a few feet he looked over his shoulder at her. "Would you possibly want to have lunch with me sometime?"

 

Robin smiled back at him. "Possibly. Have a good evening Dr. Drake."

 

"You too Dr. Scorpio."

Chapter 41

 

Robin sat at the table in the Metro Court feeling ridiculous. Patrick had slipped a note in her locker asking her to go there for lunch. She had been there for about 5 minutes when he entered the restaurant and took a seat at a table near her.

 

Robin sat there for a moment, remembering their first ‘dinner’ together with a smile on her face.

 

“This is ridiculous. Give me one good reason we shouldn’t have lunch together.” Patrick looked at Robin, hoping she remembered the lunch he was trying to reenact.

 

“I happen to like my table but if you want to join me, I guess I can’t stop you.” Robin pretended to be annoyed.

 

Patrick got up and sat down at the table, smirking at the beautiful brunette across the way. “This will give me a chance to ask you a question, why are you trying so hard not to like me?”

 

Robin’s heart stopped at the question and she realized that as much as she was enjoying their little game, the time had come to get back to reality. “I like you, I always have. You may drive me crazy, but it is in the best way. So you want to tell me what you have been doing?”

 

Patrick sighed and smiled at her. “I was talking to Mac and he told me that I needed to remember everything we have been through and not give up on us, like that was even a possibility. He said something about going back to the beginning so I…”

 

Robin laughed. “So you did – thank you for not recreating our actual first meeting.”

 

Patrick cringed. “Yeah, that would have the exact opposite effect of what I want. I love you Robin.”

 

Robin took his hand and held it across the table. “I love you too. You know this isn’t about not loving you, it never has been. If I didn’t love you then there wouldn’t be a chance that this baby is yours. But I love Jason too and I owe it to myself and whoever I choose to be with to be sure that is what I want.”

 

“I’m not trying to pressure you. I just want spend a little time with you and, hopefully, make you smile.” Patrick slowly stroked Robin’s hand.

 

“And you do. So let’s have a nice lunch, talk about our beautiful daughter, argue about a few cases and then get back to work. Sound good?” Robin didn’t want to mislead him but she wanted to have lunch with him.

 

“Sounds perfect – ready to order?”

 

The words had barely left his mouth when he heard a screeching behind him. “No! Get your sanctimonious butt out of my restaurant!” Carly came storming up to the table, yelling at Robin.

 

“What is your problem Carly?” Acting instinctively, Patrick put himself in between Carly and Robin.

 

“My problem is that your bitch of an ex-wife finally got what she wanted – Jason. You know he won’t even speak to me because of you.”

 

Robin shook her head and stood up. “You did that by helping cover up Sonny’s involvement in AJ’s murder – I had nothing to do with it. Believe it or not Carly, we haven’t even talked about you, at least not until the other night when he told me he cut you out of his life.”

 

Patrick took over. “That was Jason’s decision, not Robin's. If you want to blame anyone, blame me. I performed the surgery that saved Jason and brought some of his memories back. None of this is Robin’s fault so back off.”

 

Carly glared at Patrick, incredulous at his response. “No, it is all her fault.” She turned her glare back to Robin. “You took away the most important man I have ever had in my life from me and you will pay for it.”

 

Robin considered her next move. Time had given her some perspective regarding Carly. A few years ago she would have jumped at the bait but now she would not let Carly have the satisfaction, especially not when she was pregnant. Placing her hand on her belly, Robin took a deep breath and spoke. “Jason is a grown man who makes his own decisions.”

 

Carly noticed where Robin’s hand was and smirked. “Well, I guess you finally got what you wanted – Jason’s baby. How do you feel about that Patrick?”

 

“I love Robin and I love this baby.” Patrick didn’t elaborate, it wasn’t any of Carly’s business. He turned to Robin. “Come on, let’s go somewhere else for lunch. Too many bad memories here.”

 

Robin took his hand and they walked to the elevator while Carly watched them curiously. They certainly weren’t acting divorced and she wondered if Jason knew that his little wifey was hanging out with her ex-husband.

 

It was more than that – Patrick was quick to claim to love the baby, almost like it was his own.

 

“No, is it possible that Saint Robin cheated on her husband?” Carly got a malicious grin on her face as she began thinking about her revenge.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 42

 

“Where are you taking me?” Robin sat in the front seat with a blindfold over her eyes.

 

“We’ll be there soon, just trust me.” Jason drove carefully to their destination.

 

Robin groaned. “I feel ridiculous and I hate surprises.”

 

“You look beautiful and you haven’t minded my surprises before.” Jason said in a teasing voice.

 

Robin didn’t say anything but smiled at the memory of their wedding – she had been happy that day, she couldn’t deny it.

 

The car stopped and Jason got out. He walked over to Robin’s side of the car and opened the door for her, helping her out the car and leading her down to their final destination. He took off the blindfold to reveal that they were at the lake on the Quartermaine property. There was a picnic lunch set up on a blanket on the dock. “I didn’t think jumping the fence was a good idea in your condition.”

 

Robin giggled. “Probably not. This is amazing.” Robin had agreed to lunch with Jason after her lunch with Patrick the other day – she felt it was only fair to spend the same amount of time with both men.

 

After they had left the Metro Court Patrick and Robin had went to Kelly’s and had burgers. It was amazing to Robin how quickly they fell into their old rhythm, the banter and the flirting. Patrick and her had a natural connection, something they didn’t have to force. After eating, Patrick had taken her home and they had spent some time talking and then making out like teenagers until Emma got home.

 

Now she was at the boathouse with Jason, and there was a connection there too. Their relationship had endured almost 30 years, something Robin could not ignore. Through crushes and illnesses and several faked deaths, they always managed to end up back together. The boat house where Jason had set up their picnic held memories for her and him both. This is where Jason and AJ had helped her and Stone throw each other surprise parties. She had spent a lot summer days with the Quartermaine boys and Stone at the lake.

 

But she had also spent time with Jason Morgan here. They had come out there during a heat wave, jumping a fence and then jumping into the lake. She had gone into the lake fully clothed but Jason had just worn his underwear so he gave her his shirt to wear while her clothes dried.

 

“No jumping in the lake today either. It’s a little too cold for you two.” Jason smiled warmly at her and placed his hand on her belly.

 

Robin nodded her head. “Agreed. So what did you bring for lunch? I’m starving.”

 

They sat down on the blanket and had a nice lunch, talking about the past, the baby and how Emma was doing. Jason missed the little girl he had spent so much time with. Jason had made a point of sitting down with Emma and explaining who he really was and that he still loved her. Robin hadn’t told Emma that Patrick could be the baby’s father yet – Robin had enough trouble understanding it herself. For now, they told Emma that Jason wanted to spend time with his mom and that was good enough for her.

 

Lunch was winding down when Jason brought up Carly. “I am so sorry about what she did.”

 

“It’s okay – you have no control over her.” Robin hated Carly but she wasn’t going to let her ruin her return to Port Charles.

 

“No, I mean everything she did. I let her into our lives and let her destroy us. I should have seen what you did, the way she was using Michael and manipulating me and AJ. Maybe if I had seen it, AJ would be alive today.” Jason felt tremendous guilt for the way he treated his family while he was Jason Morgan.

 

“Look at me – Sonny is to blame for AJ’s death, not you. AJ loved you and you loved him and deep down you both knew it even if you couldn’t say it. And as for Carly, she has always hated me and no matter how much you tell her that this is your decision, she will always blame me. It doesn’t matter what it is, if something bad happens to Carly, it’s my fault – you should know that by now.” Robin wanted to take away a little of his guilt.

 

“I just want to protect you. I want you to know that, no matter what happens, I am on your side – always.” Jason reached over and took Robin’s face in his hands. “I love you.”

 

Jason leaned down and kissed Robin, not giving her a chance to respond. “But I promised to give you the space you need to make your decision so, even though it is killing me, that is what I am going to do.”

 

Robin looked at him in amazement, he was being so understanding and she really did appreciate it. This patience and understanding was part of the reason she had fallen in love with him and married him. “Thank you.”

 

“But,” he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, “I want to make sure you have all the facts so you can make a fully informed decision.”

 

“You do, huh?” Robin smiled at him.

 

Holding Robin tight, Jason nodded and then began kissing her again. He loved her and he wasn’t giving her up, not now – not ever.

Thank you for your shout outs in the episode thread - I like my version of Patrick (based on the one who Robin married, not the one on screen now) better too.

 

Chapter 43

 

Robin paced the living room floor, waiting for Maxie to arrive. It had been almost six weeks since the truth about everything had come out and Robin was no closer to a decision about which man she should be with. She had made lists, reviewed every aspect of both relationships and spent time with Patrick and Jason both. Robin needed a fresh pair of eyes on the situation which led her to calling Maxie.

 

Robin heard a knock on the door and opened it to find her cousin standing there, smiling at her. “Hey Robin.” She looked at Robin and smiled. “Okay, call me crazy but you weren’t nearly this big with Emma, were you?”

 

Robin rubbed her hand over her growing bump. Maxie was right, she was bigger with this pregnancy. “No, this one seems bound and determined to push my belly beyond its limits.”

 

Maxie laughed and sat down on the couch with Robin. “It’s an excuse to go shopping and get you some new clothes. Name the time and place and I will be there."

 

Robin nodded as Maxie studied her. "Now, you want to tell me the reason you invited me over?”

 

Robin shook her head. Maxie always was one to cut to the chase, a quality she desperately needed now. “As if you didn’t know.”

 

Maxie nodded. “Still torn between husband number one and husband number two? What’s the hang up? Why are you still stumbling around on this?”

 

“I don’t know. I’ve thought about it constantly, going over everything I have been through with both of them…”

 

Maxie interrupted. “Whoa – there’s your problem right there. Robin, this isn’t a research project where you go over the numbers and decide which way to go, this is your heart. You need to embrace your Scorpio side for this one.”

 

Robin scrunched up her nose. “Embrace my Scorpio side?”

 

“Well yeah, go with your gut.” Maxie could see Robin was still confused so she decided to approach it from a different angle. “Here’s what we’re going to do – I’m going to ask you some questions. I don’t want you to tell me your answers, just close your eyes and see what pops in your head. Ready?”

 

“Maxie, this is silly…”

 

“Just trust me. Now close your eyes.” Robin did what she was told. “Okay, when you get good news, who is the first person you want to tell?”

 

Maxie hadn’t even finished the question and a face popped into Robin’s imagination.

 

“Got it?” Robin nodded. “Okay, next question – when you get bad news, who do you want to help you feel better?”

 

The face didn’t change.

 

“Last question – in your heart, who do you truly hope is the father of your baby?”

 

Same face.

 

“You can open your eyes now.” Maxie looked at Robin. “Did you see the same face each time?” Robin smiled and nodded her head. “Then I think you have your answer.”

 

Robin reached over and pulled her cousin into a tight hug. “Maxie, you are brilliant! Can Emma stay with you tonight?”

 

“Of course, Georgie loves her cousin. What are you going to do?”

 

Robin pulled out her phone. “Go be with the man I love.” Robin dialed a number. “Could you meet me? There’s something we need to talk about.”

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

“Jason?” Robin walked up to the docks and met him, giving him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. “Thank you for coming.”

 

“I’d do anything for you, you know that.” Jason held on to her, gently stroking her cheek.

 

“I know. Why don’t we sit down?” Robin pointed to the bench and, as soon as they sat down, Jason took Robin’s hands in his. “Jason, we have been through so much together and you know that I do love you.”

 

Jason smiled at her. “I love you too.”

 

Robin took a deep breath before speaking again. “But I am in love with Patrick.” She saw Jason’s face fall. “I am so sorry. I have agonized over this but I know in my heart that Patrick and I are meant to be together.”

 

Jason turned away from her, not wanting her to see the tears that were welling up in his eyes. “And the baby?”

 

“If this baby is yours, I fully expect us to both be involved in raising it. I still want you to come to the appointments, if you want to of course.” Robin would never shut him out of his child’s life.

 

“Of course I want to.” His words came out a little sharper than he had intended so he took a moment before continuing. “I will respect your decision but if this child is mine, all bets are off. I will want us to raise our child together.”

 

Jason turned back around. “I’ll see you at the sonogram next week.” He turned on his heels and left.

 

Neither Jason or Robin saw Carly sitting in the shadows, taking in every word the two of them had just said.

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Patrick heard the doorbell ring and walked over to it, his eyes glued to the game playing on the TV. “Just a minute.”

 

He opened the door and was shocked to see Robin standing there. She looked at him, smiled and grabbed him, pulling him into a deep kiss while pushing him back in the house.

 

Patrick pulled away. “Robin - what is this?”

 

“This is I am in love with you and I want to be with you.” Robin placed her hand against his face and he smiled at her touch.

 

“Are you sure? What about Jason?”

 

“I just came from telling him it's over. He isn’t happy about it, but he will understand eventually." Robin gently rubbed Patrick's face. "You are the love of my life. You and Emma are my family and I want that back. I want us back.” Robin’s tears flowed freely down her face.

 

Patrick gently wiped them away. “That is what I want too. I love you so much.” He kissed her again. “Where’s Emma?”

 

Robin raised her eyebrow at him. “Spending the night at Maxie’s.”

 

Patrick laughed and gathered her up in his arms. “Then let’s make this a proper reunion.” Patrick gave Robin one more kiss and headed towards their bedroom. “Welcome home Robin.”

Someone in then unpopular opinion thread said Johnny and Kristina should come back, Kristina pregnant with Johnny's baby. And then I said it would be funny because Dante would probably be secretly thrilled with that, to boot. And then I wrote it :) Let's say this takes place a year from now. (And it's complete story, no upcoming chapters or anything)

 

"Sonny," said Dante after he answered the loft door, in answer to a couple of strong knocks at the door. "What's up?"

 

"Dante," said Sonny, walking past him, rubbing his hands together, trying to contain whatever anxiety he was feeling. "You gotta arrest him. You just, gotta find any reason to arrest him."

 

Dante closed the door and then crossed him arms. "Arrest who, exactly?" Sonny had never, to his credit, ever asked him to arrest anyone. At least, not in a long time. He dimly recalled a request or two not long after they had met, but nothing after that. It must be big, for Sonny to come to his door. But it couldn't have been about a murder. If that were the case, Dante reflected grimly, Sonny would retaliate himself, not ask Dante or the cops to do something about it.

 

Sonny turned around and looked at him. "Johnny Zaccharra!"

 

"Oh," said Dante. "Well, what's his crime? I mean, any new ones? Since uh," Dante laughed softly, "he apparently didn't kill his grandfather/father after all."

 

"Knocking your sister up!" said Sonny.

 

"Uh," Dante said. "Can you - did I hear that - Kristina is pregnant?"

 

"With his baby," clarified Sonny unnecessarily.

 

"Uh, wow," said Dante. He rubbed the back of his neck. "He didn't - he didn't - what did she say - I, uh," Dante stopped, trying to gather his thoughts. "Are you sure, first of all? You know Kristina can, um, tend to have some flights of fancy."

 

"Oh, I'm sure," said Sonny. "At least, she's pregnant with someone's baby. It was plain as day."

 

Dante looked at his watch. 2:30. 2:30 wasn't that early. Plenty of men - and women - had drinks at 2:30 on their days off. "So you've seen her," said Dante. Well, that explained why Johnny wasn't dead. Yet, he supposed.

 

"Oh, yeeah," confirmed Sonny. "With a damn ring on her finger!"

 

"They're engaged?" This was freaking insane.

 

"They're married!" spat out Sonny.

 

Dante just looked at Sonny, trying to take it all in. John Zaccharra, his brother-in-law. A traitorous thought slipped in, when he was trying to muster up some elder-brother-outrage appropriate to the occasion: better than, God-fucking-forbid, my step-dad. Or coming back to town and trying to screw his wife.

 

"Well?" asked Sonny. "Go and find something." He waved his hand around the room, as if some evidence for Johnny's arrest was somewhere in one of the corners.

 

"I mean, I guess I can talk to Kristina," said Dante. "See if there was something . . . untoward."

 

Sonny shook his head. "She's gonna just spout some brainwashed crap about how happy she is."

 

"Uh," replied Dante. "How awful." He knew he was doing a lot of uh-ing, but really, how was a man supposed to respond to this?

 

"It's a lie!" said Sonny.

 

"Well, you know Kristina Sonny," said Dante. "She's kind of . . . out there. Maybe they really are . . . a love match?" God, he had never wished harder that he had a dentist appointment. Maybe he could schedule another sperm count test right about now.

 

"Besides, Sonny," added Dante, "she's already pregnant. Like, out to here, like you said." He gestured outward with his hand. "Does it really matter that they're married now? Isn't it better? He didn't have to marry her once she was, you know. With child."

 

"What is this?" said Sonny. "I know you like to contradict me just because you can sometimes, but I expected a little more protectiveness on behalf of your sister. What kind of brother are you?"

 

The kind that only wrote two e-mails to his sister the past year, thought Dante, but he didn't say that out loud. "I just, you know. Don't want to go out running out and arresting the father of my sister's baby."

 

Sonny looked at him for a long moment. His eyes narrowed. "My God. You're fine with this, aren't you?"

 

"'Fine' is such a strong word for this situation . . . " said Dante. "'Confused' would be a better one."

 

"You like that at least he's not sniffing around Lulu or your mother," said Sonny bluntly.

 

"I mean, that exact thought didn't cross my mind . . . " Dante said. "But I mean I guess . . . if you made me choose at gunpoint . . . "

 

Sonny looked as if he was tempted to do just that. Luckily, Dante was pretty sure he was unarmed. The possibility of coming to blows with Sonny was always in the back of his mind, but never did he think it might be over Kristina marrying Johnny Zacchara.

 

He heard noise coming from behind him. "Dante! Dante, guess what!" his mother was yelling, Rocco in her arms.

 

"Noooo!" interrupted Lulu. "Olivia, I wanna be the one to tell him!"

 

"Sorry," he said, turning around. "I think Sonny beat you both to it."

 

"Sonny!" said Lulu. "What the hell!"

 

"I'm sorry Lulu, I wasn't really thinking about who got to be the first one to break the news to Dante," apologized Sony sarcastically.

 

"Well you should have been," muttered Lulu. "Wait." Her eyes widened. "Sonny. Holy shit. You have got to get out of here."

 

"I think it's too late for that," said Olivia. "Just bolt the door, otherwise he's gonna run into them."

 

"We can't do that!" protested Lulu. "It's rude!"

 

Dante was starting to get a bad feeling. "No, you know what? We can. We can bolt the door, we'll make it up to them later." He walked over to shut the door, but just as he grabbed the knob, John Zaccharra and his pretty damn pregnant sister appeared at the door. She wasn't ready to pop, but as Sonny had said, it was plain as day.

 

Dante just stared at them. "You invited them over here!?" he said, without turning around.

 

"Well, what the hell," said Lulu. "I didn't know Sonny was gonna be here!"

 

"Gee, nice to see you too Dante," said Kristina.

 

"Yeah, is that anyway to greet me, brother?" asked Johnny.

 

"Don't . . . don't call me that," said Dante.

 

"I am gonna kill you, you bastard," said Sonny. He started to move, but Olivia thrust Rocco into his arms. "Sonny, why don't we give Rocco a bath."

 

"A bath?" said Dante. "It's 2:30 in the afternoon!" Well, it had been 2:30 in the afternoon, 5 minutes ago. Dante was really longing for the halcyon days of 5 minutes ago.

 

"Yeah, let Uncle Johnny give him a bath," said John. "I'm gonna need the practice."

 

"Okay. You," said Dante, pointing at Johnny. "You are not Uncle Johnny."

 

"Well, actually . . . " said Lulu, "he kinda is."

 

"Hey, think about it this way," said Johnny. "I coulda been Grandpa Johnny, or," he said, a large grin forming on his face, "step-dad Johnny."

 

"Okay, you know what, no, you definitely could not have been," said Dante, putting his arm around Lulu, "because my wife has more sense than that."

 

Lulu raised her eyebrows and just said, amused, "thanks babe."

 

"What's that supposed to mean?" said Kristina, putting her hands on her hips and using her stomach to get everyone out of her way as she crossed her way towards the couch. She plopped down on it. "That I have no sense?"

 

"What is this?" asked Dante. "Let's-be-perfectly-honest day?"

 

"Oooh," said Johnny. "I'll start."

 

"No!" everyone replied.

 

Just then there was more scrambling at the door. "You!" said a young man's voice. It was Michael and Morgan, Morgan doing the speaking. "You got our sister pregnant!"

 

"Yeah, thanks for the news brief, Morgan," snapped Dante, rather meanly and unnecessarily. He knew that was rude but his patience was really being tested here. He looked around, and spotted Sonny glaring daggers at Johnny still, Olivia practically forcing him to keep Rocco in his arms. Ah. Morgan did have his uses, after all.

 

Dante went and plucked Rocco out of Sonny's arms and back into Olivia, and took Sonny by the back of the shirt.

 

"What the hell are you doing?" asked Sonny.

 

"Finally arresting you for that gunshot to the chest?" asked Johnny, who was now sitting next to Kristina on the couch. No one responded.

 

"What?" said Johnny awkwardly. "I thought that was an inside family joke now."

 

"You," snarled Sonny, trying to turn around, "are not family."

 

"Keep going Sonny," Dante whispered behind him. He pushed Sonny right into Morgan's arms and backed them all up in the hallway. "Please get him out of here."

 

"Dante!" said Sonny, struggling to get out of Morgan's grasp.

 

Dante looked at Michael, wordlessly asking him to take him by the other arm. Michael sighed but acquiesced. He and Sonny didn't speak much nowadays, but at had come to a detente of sorts. At least, Dante thought, Johnny could at least be used to strengthen that detente.

 

"Please just take him back to his house," said Dante. "Or . . . out of town. Atlantic City. Canada. I don't care."

 

"You're gonna arrest him, right?" Sonny asked.

 

Michael shook his head.

 

"Or, at least, give him a beat down, right?" asked Morgan.

 

Dante looked at him. "Yeah, Morgan," he said. "That's totally what I'm gonna do." He sighed internally.

 

"Come on Morgan," said Michael, starting to pull Sonny away. He and Morgan started pulling Sonny out, not letting go even though Sonny seemed to be willingly led at this point.

 

Dante sighed externally this time and opened the door.

 

"Any bullet holes in our hallway?" asked Lulu.

 

"Actually this whole thing has gone better than I thought," said Johnny. Kristina nodded. "I was hoping for a stroke," she said.

 

"That's not funny, honey," Olivia said over her shoulder, who was over by the table, putting plates on it.

 

"Just a small one," mumbled Kristina.

 

"Ma, what are you doing?" asked Dante. "Please don't let it be what I think."

 

"I'm setting up table for dinner," answered Olivia. "What does it look like I'm doing?"

 

"I'm pretty sure I can't eat a fucking thing," said Dante.

 

"Language, honey," Olivia reprimanded.

 

Dante looked at Rocco, and then Johnny. "I can't eat a fucking thing," he said through gritted teeth. Johnny just smiled. Smugly, it looked like to Dante. "Well, I'm hungry," Johnny said.

 

"Yeah, me too," said Lulu. "So's Rocco." The two of them headed over to the table.

 

"I'm starving," said Kristina. "Obviously." She put her hand on the table and used it to balance her weight to heft herself up. Dante couldn't help but notice Johnny gently putting one hand on her back and the other at her elbow, helping her up.

 

Damn it. It looked like John actually freaking cared about her. It would have been so much easier to try to arrest him than what was coming up next, which was try to get Sonny to remotely get over this.

 

He looked at Kristina and Johnny, sitting down at the table. Well, Dante supposed, Kristina could take care of that. In the meantime, in the meantime, he had actually lied his ass off about not being able to eat anything, so he decided he might as well go and eat too. He glanced over at the wine rack. And drink. A lot. He glanced at his watch. 3:00. Even better than 2:30. He went over to join the others.

ulkis - I liked that. Anything that makes Sonny miserable works for me (yes, I am Team Michael).

 

 

Chapter 44

 

“Don’t forget the sonogram is at 1.” Robin was sitting at the table while Patrick got breakfast ready. She and Emma had moved back into the house over the weekend and things were settling back into a familiar pattern. Jason had decided to stay in the house he and Robin had bought so he could be close by after the baby was born - just in case.

 

“Is Jason going to be there too?” Patrick understood Robin’s reasoning for including Jason in everything with the baby – he just didn’t like it. He brought over some orange juice and pancakes to her.

 

“Of course he is.” Robin dug into the stack of pancakes in front in of her. “These are so good. Thank you.”

 

“You are most certainly welcome.” Patrick sat down at the table after serving up helpings for him and Emma.

 

“Look at it this way, it will give me a chance to tell him that we are getting remarried.” Patrick had proposed to Robin right after she and Emma had gotten moved back in. The divorce wasn’t something either one of them had wanted, they had been forced into it and Patrick wanted Robin to be his wife again as soon as possible. Maxie was already planning a small ceremony for them at their house in two weeks.

 

Patrick waited until Emma was done eating and had gone to get ready for school before continuing the conversation.

 

“Are you sure you don’t want to wait until after the ceremony, the way he did with me.” Patrick saw no reason to give Jason advanced notice of their plans and was still bitter about the underhanded way Jason had gotten Robin to marry him.

 

Robin sighed. “And remember how hurt you were? I am as much to blame for that situation as he was and I learned my lesson. I want to keep things honest and open so that when the baby is born, if Jason is the father, we can at least co-exist.”

 

Patrick shook his head but didn’t say anything else. Robin was right and he knew it. “Just don’t tell him until I am there with you?”

 

“I won’t but you need to get going – you’ve got to be in the OR in an hour. I will meet you at Dr. Galvan’s at 12:45.”

 

Patrick leaned over and kissed Robin goodbye. “See you then. I love you.”

 

“I love you too.”

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

“So, I guess I can’t call you Saint Robin anymore, can I?” Carly walked up to the nurse’s desk, taunting Robin with a smirk on her face.

 

“You know what Carly, as much as I would love to try and figure out what the hell you are talking about, I have an appointment to get to so if you don’t mind.” Robin started to walk away but Carly grabbed her arm and stopped her.

 

“Oh no, you’re not going anywhere until I have my say.” Robin rolled her eyes but stood her ground. “Are you trying to destroy Jason? You marry him and then get pregnant, risking exposing him to HIV, and then you have the nerve to cheat on him with your ex-husband.”

 

Robin stood frozen in place – how did Carly know? “Carly, you really don’t understand what you are talking about.”

 

“Oh I understand alright. I understand that you slept with Patrick while you were supposed to be married to Jason.” Carly was beginning to yell. “I understand that you have no idea who the father of that baby you are carrying is. I understand that you dumped Jason as soon as Patrick wanted you back. You ruined him just to hurt me.”

 

Robin couldn’t stop the tears from falling as Carly railed at her. “The situation is far more complicated than you can understand. I love Jason but he and I are not meant to be together. No matter what we decide to do, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Stay away from me and my baby.”

 

“No! You have always been so damn sanctimonious and now you are showing yourself for the hypocrite you really are. You used Jason to make Patrick jealous. You used his amnesia to make him fall in love with you. You preyed on him when he was vulnerable and then dumped him once you got what you wanted.” Carly had backed Robin into a corner with her vile words.

 

“Stop it!” Jason ran down the hall and pulled Carly away from Robin with Patrick only steps behind him.

 

Patrick gathered Robin in his arms and held her. “Robin, look at me, it’s ok – she has no clue what she is talking about.”

 

Robin sobbed, Carly’s hurtful words digging into her brain. Had she really done that – used Jason? “But she’s right – I don’t know who my baby’s father is and I did hurt Jason.”

 

“This whole situation is Victor’s Cassadine’s fault – not yours.” Patrick took Robin’s face in his hands. “Trust me - Carly is just a bitter woman who has no one to blame but herself for where she is. She wants to push her pain onto someone else and she has chosen you to be her victim but we won’t let her do it.”

 

Robin smiled at him as he wiped away her tears and comforted her. By the time Jason reappeared a few minutes later, Robin was finally calmed down enough to talk. “Where is she?”

 

“I told her to leave and never contact you or me again. Are you okay?” Robin nodded unconvincingly. “I think you need to contact your mom about getting a restraining order against Carly. What she just did to you is unacceptable and you need to protect yourself and the baby.”

 

Robin considered what he was saying. “I’ll hold off for now but if she does anything else I will. Right now we need to get to the doctor’s office for our appointment.”

 

Patrick gently led Robin to Dr. Galvan’s office with Jason walking right behind him. Within minutes they were in the exam room looking at the screen while the doctor started the sonogram. “Here we go.”

 

The doctor moved the wand over Robin’s slowly expanding belly. “Robin, do twins run in your family?”

 

Robin looked at the doctor and then looked at the screen. Sure enough she could see two separate babies on the monitor. “Oh my God.” Tears filled her eyes and a smile slowly spread across her face. “Twins.”

 

Patrick was sitting by Robin’s side, holding her hand and gently kissed it. Jason, who had been standing on her other side, leaned down and kissed the top of her head. The three of them stood there in silence for a few minutes until Robin finally spoke. “How did we miss it at the first sonogram?”

 

Dr. Galvan smiled at her. “Sometimes one baby is hiding behind the other. It looks like there are two separate sacs so they are fraternal, not identical.

 

Congratulations." Dr. Galvan put the wand up and handed Robin a towel. "I’ll print you some pictures to share with everyone.”

 

Robin remained focused on the babies on the screen. “Thank you.”

 

Dr. Galvan printed the pictures and left to go to his next appointment. Robin began cleaning up her belly from the gel while Jason and Patrick stared at their copies of the sonogram. After getting herself cleaned up, Robin moved to get off the table and Jason grabbed her left hand to help her, noticing for the first time the engagement ring on it. “Robin?”

 

Robin cringed. She had hoped to talk to Jason before the sonogram but Carly’s attack had stopped her. “I’m sorry, I was going to talk to you…”

 

“That didn’t take long.” Jason felt the anger he was trying to hold back begin to seep to the surface.

 

Patrick stood next to her and opened his mouth but Robin held up her hand. “Jason, you know that the divorce was forced on us by Victor. I told you last week, I am in love with Patrick and we have decided to get remarried. I know this is hard for you but please try and be happy for me.”

 

Jason took a few deep breaths and turned away from the couple. “Of course I am. I assume you want to get married before the baby, I mean babies come.”

 

“We are getting married in two weeks. Nothing big, just our immediate family.” Robin felt Patrick’s arms wrap around her protectively.

 

“Congratulations to you both.” Jason headed to the door, never turning back to look at them. “I hope you are very happy.”

 

Jason left the room and Robin leaned into her fiancée. “He took that better than I thought he would.”

 

Patrick held her tighter, his eyes still on the now empty doorway. “Yes he did.”

Someone in then unpopular opinion thread said Johnny and Kristina should come back, Kristina pregnant with Johnny's baby. And then I said it would be funny because Dante would probably be secretly thrilled with that, to boot. And then I wrote it :) Let's say this takes place a year from now. (And it's complete story, no upcoming chapters or anything)

 

posted a sequel to this here:

Don't know if I'll do more or not, but maybe, cause it's fun.

Chapter 45

 

“There’s my girl.” Mac leaned over and kissed Robin hello before taking a seat next to her. “I’m glad you called – I was starving.”

 

Kelly’s was busy as usual with the lunch crowd but Robin and Patrick had managed to secure a table for lunch. The trio happily placed their orders before Mac started asking questions.

 

“So, how did the appointment go yesterday?” Mac was thrilled that Robin and Patrick were back together. He prayed that the baby was Patrick’s but knew that the couple could handle it if it wasn’t.

 

“Well…” Patrick began to answer but Robin cut him off.

 

“It went great.” She didn’t want Patrick saying anything about Carly’s tirade. “In fact, we have a picture for you.”

 

Robin handed Mac the picture and watched his face while he studied it. He looked confused for a moment and then smiled at her. “Does this mean what I think it does?”

 

Robin giggled, excitedly nodding her head. “Yes – it’s twins!”

 

Mac jumped out of his chair and pulled Robin out of hers so he could give her a big hug. “I am so happy for you – for both of you!”

 

Mac shook Patrick’s hand and then sat back down. “Thank you Mac – we’re thrilled.” Patrick wrapped his arm around Robin’s chair and gently rubbed her shoulder.

 

“And the wedding is a week from Saturday?” Maxie had been driving Felicia crazy with wedding plans.

 

“Yes and that is actually the reason why we invited you to lunch today Uncle Mac – we have a favor to ask you.”

 

“I’d do anything for you sweetheart, you know that.” Mac had helped raise Robin and considered her his daughter, just the same as Maxie.

 

“Good because we,” Robin looked at Patrick and then back at Mac, “would like you to perform the ceremony.”

 

“I’m sorry, you want me to do what?” Mac couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

 

“Mac, Robin and I would be honored to have you perform our marriage ceremony.”

 

Mac shook his head, still not quite believing it. “Really? Are you sure?”

 

Robin took Mac’s hand in hers. “You have been with us from the beginning. Through every up and down, break up and make up, silly fight and multiple marriage proposals. Hey, if it hadn’t been for you we may not have even made it down the aisle the first time.” Mac laughed. “We love you and we want you to be a part of this. I found a site online and you can be ordained and able to perform the ceremony by tonight.”

 

“What about Lucy?”

 

Patrick laughed. “Lucy does not have the best track record when it comes to actually finishing the ceremony.”

 

“That is true.” Mac thought about it for a moment. “I would be honored to perform your wedding ceremony.”

 

“Yes! Thank you Uncle Mac!” Robin practically fell off the chair in her haste to hug him. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”

 

Mac hugged her close, relishing the moment. “It means the world to me that you asked me.”

 

Robin stood up and walked to the door. “I need to call Maxie and let her know. Be back in a minute.”

 

Mac watched her leave and then turned back to Patrick. “So, what was she hiding from me?”

 

“Carly went after her yesterday at the hospital, before the appointment.” Patrick was deadly serious. “It was bad Mac, really bad. Somehow she found out about our whole situation and…”

 

Mac figured out what Patrick was going to say next. “And decided to go after Robin for leaving Jason. I had hoped that she had finally outgrown the need to hurt Robin but I guess I was wrong. How is she doing?”

 

Patrick shook his head. “You know Robin – she has decided to concentrate on the babies and the wedding. We told Jason yesterday that we were getting remarried.”

 

Mac raised his eyebrows. “How did that go?”

 

“Surprisingly well.” Patrick didn’t elaborate but Mac could sense something was off. “Seriously, he told us congratulations and left.”

 

“But you don’t buy it. You think he still is hoping to win Robin back.”

 

“Especially if the babies are his.” Patrick nodded his head while playing with his napkin.

 

“Robin loves you and you love her – just focus on that and everything else will fall into place.” The waitress brought the food over to the table just as Robin walked back in. Mac quickly changed the subject so that Robin wouldn't know what they were talking about. “So, tell me about this website.”

[cmahorror]

Chapter 46

 

Jason sat on his couch, staring at the picture on the table of him and Robin on their wedding day. Her announcement two days ago that she was remarrying Patrick had cut him to the core and he had spent all of his time since then trying to figure out a way of stopping or at least delaying the wedding. He heard a knock on his door and put down the picture to answer it.

 

“Spinelli, good to see you man.” Jason embraced the young computer hacker and pulled him into the house. “Please, have a seat.”

 

Spinelli sat down on the couch, noticing the picture sitting on the coffee table. “That is indeed a very nice picture of you and the beautiful doctor Scorpio.”

 

Jason sat down next to him. “It was our wedding day.” He smiled as he gently picked up the picture again. “We were so happy. It was the best day of my life. Which brings me to why you are here - did you find out anything?”

 

Spinelli nodded shyly. Jason had hired him to see if there was a way to prove that his and Robin’s marriage was still valid. “Unfortunately, your marriage with the most beautiful Dr. Scorpio is not valid. I am sorry I cannot bring you better news.”

 

“Damn it. Okay, is there any way to stop them from getting a marriage license?”

 

“Maxie is planning the wedding and she has informed me that the license has already been procured and is secured at Maxie’s father’s house.” Spinelli felt a little guilty gathering information from the mother of his child but he owed Stone Cold so much.

 

Jason was confused. “Why is it at Mac’s house? Why not Patrick’s?”

 

“Because the paternal one is performing the ceremony for the Doctors Scorpio and Drake.” Spinelli cringed, waiting for the explosion he was sure was coming. He was right.

 

Jason set the picture down, stood up and walked over to the mirror hanging by the door, staring at it for a moment before punching it. He took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself down and then put his head down. “Thank you for the information Spinelli – I’ll see you later.”

 

Spinelli didn’t need to be told twice – he quickly jumped up from the couch and ran out the door leaving Jason standing at the broken mirror staring at himself.

 

“It’s not over Robin – not by a long shot.”

 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Robin spun around in her dress as Maxie and Emma clapped. “That’s it Robin, that’s your wedding dress.”

 

Emma nodded her head in agreement. “You look so pretty Mommy.”

 

“Thank you baby.” Robin smiled at her daughter and then looked at herself in the mirror. Sure, this was her fourth wedding but she still wanted a real wedding dress. The problem was finding one to match her growing belly. She wasn’t anywhere near as big as she had been when she was trying to find a dress the first time but she certainly wasn’t as thin as she was when she and Patrick had finally gotten married. The dress was loose enough to hide the twins while not appearing dumpy. “I love your dress too.”

 

Emma had been allowed to pick out her own dress, as long as she stayed within certain guidelines. It turned out that the guidelines weren’t even necessary – Emma found the perfect dress within minutes of walking into the bridal shop. “Thank you Mommy.”

 

Maxie smiled at her cousins and then looked at Emma. “Why don’t you go and find Grandma Anna so she can see how pretty your Mommy looks?”

 

Emma jumped up and happily ran off to find her Grandma while Robin looked at Maxie curiously. “What’s going on Maxie?”

 

Maxie waited until Emma was out of earshot and then spoke. “I think Jason is going to try to stop the wedding.”

 

Robin shook her head. “Maxie, I know you don’t like him but…”

 

“Spinelli was questioning me about the wedding when I picked up Georgie yesterday – asking me if you had gotten your license yet, who was performing the ceremony and things like that. I cannot seriously believe that he is interested in your wedding, even if I am the one planning it, but if Jason asked him to get information, he would do it for him.”

 

“Granted that is a little strange, even for Spinelli, but did you ever consider that this was just a way of getting closer to you? Spinelli still has feelings for you and acting interested in an event you are planning would not be out of character for him.” Robin knew Spinelli had never gotten over his love for Maxie.

 

“Of course I did but he would ask about colors and the work I am doing, not about your license and who’s performing the ceremony.” Maxie wanted Robin to take her seriously. “I want this to be a happy day for you and Patrick.”

 

“And it will be. Uncle Mac has the license and is ordained, you have all the details worked out, mine and Patrick’s dads will both be there and I am marrying the man I love. Nothing is going to stop that. Not to mention that there will be two world class spies and three cops at our house that day.” Dante and Lulu had been invited to the festivities as well as the immediate family. “I promise you, everything will go according to your perfectly made plans.”

 

Robin hugged Maxie and smiled as Emma brought her mom in to ooh and ah over the dress. Maxie had no problem using Anna's entrance as an opportunity to sneak out and make a call. “Yeah Mac – we need to talk.”

 

 

Had to find dresses for them lol.

Chapter 47

 

Robin laid down on the couch after taking the shoes off her slightly swollen feet. She had been running hard all morning at work trying to get everything in order before she took off for the wedding and their honeymoon. Robin smiled at her left hand, playing with her engagement ring. Tomorrow she would be Robin Scorpio-Drake again and she couldn’t wait.

 

“Long morning?” Patrick was already off from the hospital, working with Maxie to get everything finalized for the wedding. He walked over to the couch, picked up her legs and sat back down, gently massaging her feet.

 

“Ooh, that feels good. Yes - but everything is in order and we can enjoy our honeymoon.” They had decided to take a family vacation at the beach for their honeymoon. “Did you talk to Emma’s teacher?”

 

“Yes – took care of that this morning. She said that she wasn’t worried about Emma being gone for a week and all her assignments would be posted on the school website so Emma can keep up.” Patrick kept massaging her feet.

 

“Gotta love modern technology. So that’s it – we’re all set for tomorrow?” Robin relaxed even more at Patrick’s hands.

 

Patrick smiled at her. “Yes and we do have another two hours before Emma gets home. You want to take a nap?”

 

Robin sat up and scooted over to him. “I can think of a much better way to spend that time.” She leaned over and kissed him.

 

Patrick didn’t say a word – he just picked her up and carried her to their room.

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

“Dante – what the hell is going on?” Jason sat in an interrogation room, cuffed to the table.

 

“I already told you, you are being held on suspicion of stalking.” Dante began the paperwork while Jason glared at him. “You have been spotted standing outside of your ex-girlfriend’s…”

 

Jason interrupted. “Ex-wife.”

 

Dante rolled his eyes and continued. “That marriage was never legal. If I may continue, you have been spotted standing outside of Robin’s place of residence at odd hours, waiting outside her workplace in your car, as well as the many pictures we found in your home of her. It was obvious that she wasn’t aware that the pictures were being taken.”

 

“I am making sure that the mother of my children is taking care of herself. She asked for some space and I have given her that but I still need to make sure she is okay. Let me talk to Robin and she will tell you this is ridiculous.” Jason couldn’t believe this was happening.

 

“We can hold you for 48 hours and we are going to.” Dante headed to the door but Jason stopped him.

 

“Patrick did this, didn’t he? He had you arrest me so that I wouldn’t show up tomorrow.” Jason had done some quick math and realized that Robin would be married and on her honeymoon before he was released from the lock up. “He wants to keep Robin from choosing me over him. What better way than to put me in jail?”

 

Dante shook his head. “Patrick knows nothing about this. We got an anonymous tip and reviewed traffic cameras and footage from the hospital parking garage. That provided us with enough evidence to get a search warrant and that is when we found the photos. They will be notified but we are still gathering evidence.”

 

Jason didn’t believe him. “This doesn’t change anything. Once Robin has our children she will realize that we belong together.”

 

Dante felt a chill go down his spine as he left the room. Maxie was right – Jason had every intention of trying to stop Robin from marrying Patrick. He looked up to see Anna, Mac and Robert standing in the corridor. “Well, I am getting ready to process Jason. We can keep him here until Sunday night. When are Robin and Patrick leaving?”

 

“Sunday morning.” Mac was glad that Maxie had called and given him a heads up about Spinelli’s questions.

 

Together the group went over the evidence collected – including pictures of Robin at work, at home, with Emma and Patrick and alone. It was obvious that Jason had fixated on Robin and the babies and was slowly loosing control. Dante was the first to speak. “You know we don’t have a case if Robin doesn’t prosecute.”

 

“I know but we will deal with that in a couple of weeks. Nikolas arranged the honeymoon so Jason won’t know where they are going. Get him into a holding cell,” Anna glanced at the holding room and then turned her attention back to Dante, “and then get home to your wife. We will see you tomorrow at the ceremony.”

 

Anna sent the men on their way and went back to her office. Right now they just wanted to keep Jason away from Robin until she came back from her honeymoon – they would deal with what Jason had been doing then. Anna just hoped that Robin’s feelings for Jason didn’t keep her from pressing charges.

 

Anna was seeing more and more of the Jason Morgan side of his personality coming out and she wasn’t happy about it. Despite what Robin may think, the man she fell in love with in Paris may be gone for good.

[cmahorror]

Chapter 48

 

Robin smiled as she looked in the mirror. She gently patted her belly and felt the tears of joy coming already. “So, are we ready to walk down aisle?”

 

“I certainly hope so. If you don’t get out there soon I think that man of yours may come in here and drag you down there himself and I want to honor of doing it.” Robert smiled at his baby girl. “You look beautiful.”

 

“Thank you Daddy.” Robin walked over and hugged him, grateful that he was there to give her away again. “I swear this is the last time I am doing this.”

 

Robert laughed. “It better be. You know no man will ever be good enough for you but Patrick comes pretty damn close. The fact that he sacrificed his own happiness to protect you and Emma definitely gives me a high opinion of the man.”

 

“I know – it just made me love him even more than I already did. I am one lucky woman.” Robin gazed a photo of her, Patrick and Emma that was hanging on their bedroom wall. “A lucky woman who is more than ready to get remarried to him so where is my maid of honor?”

 

Emma popped into the room. “Right here Mommy. I was just checking on Daddy.”

 

Robin laughed. “Is he doing okay?”

 

Emma nodded. “He said it’s time to get the show on the road.”

 

Robert picked up his granddaughter and wrapped his arm around Robin. “I couldn’t have said it better myself. Come on, let’s add the Drake back into your name.”

 

Patrick stood in their living room, waiting anxiously by the fireplace with his father and Mac. Noah was Patrick’s best man. Suddenly Maxie hit the music and Emma came into the room walking down the floor runner that was their aisle. All nerves left Patrick’s body as his daughter smiled at him and Robin appeared in the doorway, smiling the biggest smile while holding on to her father’s arm proudly.

 

The small group of guests were standing together watching with smiles on their faces. Besides Anna, Maxie, Georgie, Felicia, Nathan, Lulu and Dante, Nikolas and Alexis were also in attendance. Robin barely gave them a second glance though, her focus was on Patrick and Emma as she headed down the aisle. Reaching the end, Robert gave Robin a kiss on the cheek before handing her over to Patrick again.

 

“Hello everyone.” Mac began the ceremony. “Since we Scorpios have never been ones to stand on formality, I see no reason to start now.” Everyone laughed. “We all know why we are here - to finally get these two crazy kids back together in holy matrimony.”

 

Mac took a moment and smiled lovingly at his niece. “I am in the unique position of having been a witness to this amazing love story for every crazy moment. The ups and downs, the break ups and the make ups, the silly fights and even a few arrests. Through it all one thing has been perfectly obvious – no matter how stubborn and willful they were, no matter how much they tried to deny it, there has never been two people more perfectly suited to each other than Robin and Patrick. They may have split up many times, but they have always found their way back to each other.”

 

Robin’s tears flowed down her cheek as she smiled at Mac. “This is true.”

 

“Alright, enough mushy stuff – let’s get this show on the road. The bride and groom have written their own vows. Patrick?”

 

“Robin, since the day we met you have pushed me to be more than I ever thought possible, in and out of the hospital. You came barging in, demanding I give you a miracle but the truth is that you are my miracle. Because of you I have a life that is better than anything I could have ever have imagined. You make me better just by being by my side.”

 

“I have made some very stupid choices in my life but I made one brilliant choice and that was to fall in love with you. You make me laugh, frustrate me with your stubbornness and make me see things in a new and, sometimes, better way. You are the mother of my children and the love of my life. I vow to spend every day making you happy and making sure you know that you are loved. I love you, beyond reason and I will never let you doubt that again.”

 

Mac swallowed back his emotions. “Robin?”

 

“Patrick, you have given me a life that I had given up on ever having. You are my miracle. You have given me love, our children and a future, things I only dreamed about before I met you. You infuriate and excite me. I was living in a safe, little world, hiding from everything and you pulled me out and reminded me what it felt like to be truly alive. I vow to never take that for granted and to always remember that, no matter what our fights are about, we love each other and our children. Walking out is acceptable, giving up is not.”

 

“You are the love of my life. We have had our problems but we have managed to slowly find our way back to each other time and again and this is the last time. I love you, beyond reason and I will never let you doubt that again.”

 

“Copycat.” Patrick smiled at her teasingly while Robin giggled.

 

“Alright you two, next part.” Mac loved the playfulness the two had with each other but the sooner the ceremony was over, the better he would feel. “Patrick, repeat after me. I Patrick,”

 

“I Patrick.”

 

“Take thee Robin.”

 

“Take thee Robin.”

 

“To be my lawfully wedded wife.”

 

Patrick held Robin’s hands tight in his. “To be my lawfully wedded wife.”

 

“To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, from this day forward, forsaking all others, until death do us part.”

 

Patrick stared deep into Robin’s eyes. “To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad, for richer or for poorer, from this day forward, forsaking all others, until death do us part.”

 

Mac turned slightly towards his niece. “Robin, repeat after me. I Robin,”

 

“I Robin.” Tears of joy were steadily flowing down her cheeks, getting caught in her smile.

 

“Take thee Patrick.”

 

“Take thee Patrick.”

 

“To be my lawfully wedded husband.”

 

Robin gently squeezed Patrick’s hands. “To be my lawfully wedded husband.”

 

“To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, from this day forward, forsaking all others, until death do us part.”

 

Robin straightened up proudly as she said the words. “To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad, for richer or for poorer, from this day forward, forsaking all others, until death do us part.”

 

Mac sighed – they were almost done. “Rings please.”

 

Noah handed Patrick Robin’s ring. “Patrick, please repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed.”

 

Patrick slid the ring on Robin’s finger. “With this ring, I thee wed.”

 

Emma handed her mom Patrick’s ring. “Robin, please repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed.”

 

Robin placed the ring on Patrick’s finger. “With this ring, I thee wed.”

 

“By the exchanging of vows and rings, you have declared your love and devotion to each other. What God had put together, let no one put asunder. I now pronounce you husband and wife.” Smiling, Mac looked at Patrick. “Patrick, you may kiss your bride.”

 

Patrick leaned over and pulled Robin into his arms, giving his wife a passionate kiss as everyone cheered the newlyweds.

 

Mac looked at Anna and Robert, grateful that they were able to finish the ceremony. Tonight they would celebrate the start of Robin and Patrick’s future together – tomorrow they would begin doing whatever was necessary to secure it.

Chapter 49

 

Patrick carried Robin into their honeymoon house. “Happy honeymoon Dr. Scorpio-Drake.”

 

Robin giggled and then kissed him. “Happy honeymoon to you too Dr. Drake.”

 

Nikolas had surprised the newlyweds by changing their honeymoon to a private house he owned on a secluded beach. Anna and Robert were keeping Emma for a few days so the couple could have some time alone and then Nikolas was flying the trio out to join them. It was more than they could have asked for.

 

Patrick put her down and noticed the carafe with a bottle of sparkling cider in it. There was also a card. He walked over and read it. “Congratulations! Enjoy this and toast to the future you both deserve. Love, Nikolas.”

 

Robin sat down on the couch, taking off her shoes and rubbing her feet. “Aww, that’s so sweet.”

 

Patrick opened the cider and poured them each a glass. “I agree.” He handed Robin a glass. “A toast – to the love of my life. We may have taken a long and winding road to get here, but we are together and nothing will ever separate us again.”

 

They took a drink and Patrick noticed the tears in Robin’s eyes. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

 

Robin smiled and shook her head. “Damn hormones. I’m just so happy right now. I love you, so much.”

 

Patrick smiled at her and took her glass from her, setting it down on the coffee table next to his. “And I love you, so much.” He kissed her. “And right now, I am going to show you just how much.”

 

Patrick picked her up and began looking around. “Now where is that damn bedroom – I want to make love to my wife.”

 

Robin giggled and pointed to a hallway. “I say we try that way.”

 

Patrick took off down the hall in search of a bedroom and quickly found the master suite down at the end of the hall. He carried Robin in and set her down gently on the bed. He gently stroked her face, just taking her in for the moment. “I meant what I said – I love you, so much.”

 

Robin caressed his face. “Then stop telling how much and show me.”

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Jason pounded on Robin and Patrick’s front door. “Open up Drake – I know you’re in there!”

 

Thanks to Diane’s legal abilities, Jason was able to get out of the lock up a short time ago. It was still early evening on Saturday and he was hoping he still had time to stop Robin from going through with this ridiculous marriage to Patrick.

 

“I said open up Drake!” The front door swung open and Jason glared at the man standing on the other side. “You’re not the Drake I was looking for.”

 

Noah smirked. “No, my son and his wife are on their honeymoon.”

 

Jason felt his heart stop – she married him. “Where are they – I need to talk to her.”

 

“I’m sorry, but my daughter-in-law is unreachable for the next 10 days but I will give her the message.” Noah stood firmly in the doorway, not giving an inch.

 

Jason gave Noah one last look and then walked away, never saying another word. Noah closed and bolted the door and then pulled out his phone. “Anna, it’s Noah. Jason is out and he was here looking for Robin.”

 

Anna stomped her foot but kept her voice light, Emma was listening. “Really, well I will need to call the station and see what is going on. Would you like to come here and spend some time with your granddaughter – there’s plenty of room and it might be a good idea?”

 

Noah caught on instantly to what Anna was saying. Jason could very well try to hurt him to force Patrick and Robin into coming home early. “I think that is a great idea. Tell Emma I will be there shortly.”

 

“Of course, we will see you in a little while.” Anna hung up the phone and smiled at Emma. “Guess what – Grandpa Noah is going to come over and stay with us too. You will have all your grandparents together for a few days.”

 

Emma smiled and jumped up to hug her Grandma. “That’s great! Can I draw him a picture?”

 

“Of course, why don’t you get your things and sit down at the table while I talk to Grandpa Robert?”

 

“Okay Grandma.” Emma ran out of the room and Robert looked at Anna.

 

“What’s going on?” He knew something was up.

 

“Jason managed to get out of jail and he has already gone by the house looking for Robin. I think it is best if we stay together until we leave town.”

 

Robert nodded and walked over to her. “I agree. If Drake isn’t here within 15 minutes, I’ll go and get him myself.”

 

“Thank you.” Anna let Robert hold her. “He is a danger to our girl Robert, I can feel it. We need to protect her.”

 

Robert pulled her closer. “And we will. I promise you we will.”
