Dr. Robin Scorpio has been gone for eight, long years, and decides to come back to Port Charles to work back in General Hospital with her old and new colleagues. Even though she didn’t want to face Dr. Drake or Nurse Mir, she wasn’t going to let the two rule her life. What happens when she comes back to Port Charles? What happens when people begin to realize that Robin is hiding something?
Author’s Note: And here is the last chapter. With the help of kequihua, I finally found the perfect way to end this chapter, and I really think that everyone will really like this wonderful chapter. Since it is the last chapter, I brought in Robert. I honestly did not think that this chapter would be this long but I guess being at my Dad’s overwhelmed me a bit. It just shows you how much I really loved this story. If you liked this story, check out ‘Best Friends or Lovers?’, as in a way, it’s almost like this story. Keyword: Almost! Anyway, enjoy the wonderful chapter.

A month had passed by and during Patrick and Robin’s next appointment of another ultrasound, the two wanted to know the sex of their baby. After the teasing, Kelly had finally told them the sex of their baby that would kick against Robin’s belly almost all day long. Their little one was definitely an active one. When Kelly told them, they were having a girl, both were utterly speechless.
“Daddy, Daddy, where are we going?!” Robert asked excitedly, as he held onto his father’s neck, so he wouldn’t fall, while Patrick walked down the concrete sidewalk.
Patrick and Robert had spent the few hours shopping the whole day, while Robin was at home with Liz and Emily, knowing the girls could keep her there. Jason and Sam had even stopped by on his way out with their daughter, McKenzie Rose, before Patrick had stepped out the door, and he was so thankful. With Sam, Jason, and Elizabeth there, he prayed that no drama would go down.
“We got to go to a jewelry store to surprise Mommy, okay?” Patrick asked, as he felt his son gripping him by his hair, while Robert sat atop of his shoulders.
“I want Mommy to bwe hwappy, Daddy!” Robert cried out happily, as he grinned from ear to ear where his dimples were showing on his little face.
“I know, and hopefully before this day is over, Daddy will make Mommy a very happy woman,” Patrick said with a smile, as he looked over at his son. “We just got to pick up this gift from the store. After that, we will be able to go to the baby shower at home.”

The theme was Braveheart Lion since that was the theme of their daughter’s bedroom. Patrick and Robin had chose braveheart because they felt that it suited their daughter. To give the baby shower a girly look, there were some white and pink balloons around the room. There were some braveheart napkins and plates that Patrick had found online. The gifts were in front of the couch, so that when Patrick and Robin opened the gifts, it would be easy reach for the two of them.
Robin was still kind of skeptical of Jason being here, especially when Liz couldn’t stand the sight of Sam, and vice versa. She just needed to be stress free, and next time she saw her boyfriend, she was going to wring his neck. Why in the world would he leave her alone with Sam, Liz, and Jason? She just didn’t think this was the brightest idea that he had thought of.
All she knew was that she hoped that there wouldn’t be a fight, especially since she had to take care of herself even more since this was the last trimester she was in of her pregnancy. The last thing she needed was having this little one two months earlier than expected.
“Don’t worry. I will kill him for you,” Emily said with a grin, as she shook her head at the scene of where Sam was sitting beside Jason where McKenzie was on her father’s lap where Elizabeth was watching her daughter bouncing on the floor excitedly.
Robin stifled a laugh where she watched Lesley grab onto her hand. “Hey there, Lesley. Aren’t you the most precious thing I’ve seen?”
Lesley just grinned up at Robin, clapping her hands excitedly.
“She sure does like you,” Elizabeth laughed, as she pulled Lesley into her lap, brushing her dark hair back, and she placed a kiss on her forehead. Oh… Lucky should be here soon.”
“Oh… that’s just… great,” Robin mumbled, as she was now freaking out. With Lucky, Liz, Sam, and Jason, she prayed that there wouldn’t be any guns being aimed at anyone.
“What was that?” Elizabeth asked with a raised eyebrow, as she shook her head in disbelief. “I thought you liked my husband.”
“And I do but this… is just weird. Jason, Sam, and you are here. Now… Lucky is coming? Is this some practical joke or something? You can’t stand Sam, Sam can’t stand you, and you still want Jason. I just want one, single drama free day.”
Emily sighed, as she grabbed Robin’s hand, rubbing her thumb across her knuckles. “Come on, Robin. Let’s get you something to eat. I saw some cake with your name on it.”
“I’m sorry, Robin,” Liz mumbled, as she watched Robin and Emily walk over to the table where the food was at.
“I hate being so damn hormonal,” Robin pouted, as she grabbed a grape from the bowl from the table, and then sighed. “I just feel weird with the three of them and then Lucky, Em…”
“I know, but apparently, my brother has a surprise for Sam later today,” Emily explained, as she grabbed a turkey sandwich, and she took a bite of it. “I just hope that it will make Liz back off. I love Liz but sometimes… she doesn’t get it.”
“What does Jason have planned for Sam?” Robin asked, as she looked over at Jason and Sam, who were playing with their daughter, and she smiled over at the two of them when they looked in her direction.
“Honestly, I have no clue what it could be,” Emily lied, as she finished eating her sandwich, and she led her to the couch. “When is Patrick suppose to come by? I mean, he said he wouldn’t be gone, right?”
“Actually, I have no clue. Robert wanted to spend some alone time with his father ever since Patrick got his memory back,” Robin said, leading her to the couch, and then took a seat on the couch. ”I am just so happy that they are out together because I know once this baby is here… things are going to be pretty crazy around here and all.”
“You got that right!”
Robin turned her head when she saw Lucky and she grinned up at him. “Lucky!”
Laughing softly, Lucky bent down, and he wrapped his arms around her small waist, his strong chest brushing against her belly bump. He looked over to the middle of the floor where Cameron, who he had brought with him, was playing with his sister and Lucky turned his attention back to Robin with a charming grin on his handsome face. “You look so happy and I am sorry I haven’t seen you in a while. I’ve been trying to spend every breathing moment with my family.”
“That’s okay, Lucky. I’ve been spending my free time with Patrick and little Robert,” Robin said, as she watched Lucky pull back from her, and she noticed the bag in his hand. “I am glad that you actually came to my baby shower, Lucky. It means so much to Robert, Patrick, and me.”
“Well, you are like family to me,” Lucky admitted with a grin, as he rubbed his temples when he took a spot next to Robin on the couch. “When you left Port Charles eight years ago, Patrick and I began to hang out a lot more too. He would come to Jake’s with Nikolas and me any, single time we would need a break from the kids or Liz and Emily. It was really nice.”
“I am glad that he had the two of you,” Robin smiled, as she took a deep breath when her little one began to kick against the side of her stomach. “It makes me calmer that he just wasn’t with Leyla all the time.”
“Has she been bugging you?” Lucky asked, as he gave Robin a skeptical look, and then, he flashed her a huge grin. “Well, if that’s the case, you should put a restraining order on her, so that she can’t bother Patrick, your children, and most of all – you!”
“I think after my son kicked her in the leg and Patrick telling her that we were his family, she just ‘might’ get a clue this time. Even if she does try anything, I am not too worried,” Robin giggled, as she rubbed her lower abdomen where her little girl was kicking up a storm. “Patrick loves this little one, Robert, and me. I never imagined that I’d ever get a second chance with Patrick. I honestly feel like I am going to wake up at any moment, you know?”
“I know I am a cop and all but way to go Robert,” Lucky said with a laugh, as he looked down at Robin’s stomach. “That woman is always up to something.”
“Yeah, I couldn’t agree with anything else but that,” Patrick said, as he walked into the house with Robert on his shoulders where he was holding a bag, and Nikolas walked right behind him.
Robin couldn’t hide the smile on her face when she saw Patrick’s handsome face. He was so gorgeous and she felt so lucky to be in his presence. To have a little boy and now a little girl was a dream come true. They already had a mixed lab, Dash, and she had to admit the only thing missing was the one thing she was sure that Patrick would not want. To become Patrick Drake’s wife was something she was hoping and wishing for as well. It only made the smile on her face blend out.
She watched him place the bag down and then watched Robert crawl off of his father’s shoulders to the floor where Cameron was where the two boys began to play.
“What did you get me?” Robin grinned, as she began to get up, but Lucky pulled her back down on the couch gently. Robin looked at Lucky with a pout and she shook her head.
“Uh, uh, my gift is best for last,” Patrick said, as he flashed her that famous, charming grin on his face.
“But why do I have to wait that long, Patrick?” Robin asked with a frown, as she crossed her arms over her chest. “I want to know what you got me, baby. I know it’s going to be the best gift.”
Patrick chuckled, as he looked at her. “You sure are so stubborn now but you just have to wait.”
“You are no fun,” Robin sighed, as she shook her head, and she looked around.
It occurred to her that she knew why all these people were here. Sure, it was her baby shower, but every, last person in this room were really good friends to both Patrick and her, and she realized that Patrick had invited them for a specific reason. That was to take pleasure in the moment of Patrick and her private, baby shower. Patrick was really the most amazing man she kept on growing to love.
“Oh hush,” Patrick laughed, as he looked over at her, and he took a seat on the couch next to her when Emily and Lucky walked over to Nikolas and Elizabeth. “I promise we will have a bigger shower with your other friends and family. I just thought you might want something simple and casual. With Maxie and Brenda here, they just might drive you absolutely crazy, and I really don’t think that would be something you would want.”
“You know me way too well,” Robin sighed happily, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and she looked up into his brown eyes. “I just know that this is going to be so amazing and all. My close friends are here and it’s all because of your consideration. I really don’t know how I got lucky. I got the one man I never stopped loving even when I was so sure that you didn’t want me anymore.”
Patrick chuckled again, as he pulled her close, watching everyone take their seat. ”Well, I am definitely here for the long haul, baby.”
“So, to get this baby shower ready,” Liz began, as she was trying to break the ice to what happened between Robin and her earlier. “I think we all know that you two decided to find out what the sex of the baby is, didn’t you? You couldn’t wait like you two said you would…”
“Well, you are definitely right on that,” Robin said with a smile, as she looked into her direction, and she ran her fingers through her hair. “After our appointment with Kelly and seeing our baby on the screen, we just couldn’t help ourselves, and it also had to be because of Robert wanting to know too.”
“Yeah, we took him with us to the sonogram appointment that day, and Kelly told us. Apparently, she knew all along what we were having,” Patrick said with a shake of his head. “But I always knew we were having a girl from the time she became pregnant.”
“So, what’s her name?” Emily asked with a grin, as she looked at the two, watching Patrick’s hand go to Robin’s belly, rubbing at it gently. “I mean, you have chosen her name, right?”
“Yeah, we were going to name her after someone, but we wanted to be different,” Robin said, as she placed her hand on top of Patrick’s. “With a lot of bickering over names, we finally found the perfect name.”
“Well… what is it?” Jason asked, as he was starting to get impatient with the stalling.
Robin looked up at Patrick and then looked right at Jason and Sam. “Well, we loved the whole Rose name from your daughter, you guys. So, if you don’t mind, we have decided to name our baby girl the name Natayla Rose Drake.”
“No, no, we don’t mind at all. That’s such a pretty name,” Sam gushed, as she pushed her daughter’s brown hair away from her piercing blue eyes. “With a name like that, she’s going to have all the boys pining after her most definitely.”
“That’s exactly what I said!” Patrick exclaimed, as he looked over at the boys, who were playing with their toy cars that he had brought over from his house, so they wouldn’t be too bored. “She will not be dating until she is forty years old or when I am dead.”
“Oh puh-lease!” Robin scoffed, as she shook her head from side to side, and she grabbed the slice of vanilla cake that Lucky brought over to her. “Thank you. I am so hungry right now.”
“Well, you would not be that way if you would actually eat something,” Patrick said with a playful roll of his eyes and he fed her a bite of the cake, watching her suck the frosting from the spoon. Was it supposed to be so sexy to watch his girlfriend do something like that?
“You better watch what you say to a pregnant woman,” Robin warned, as she nudged him in his side, and she took another bite of the cake. “But… since you are feeding me right now, I guess I could allow that to slide this one time.”
“You are lucky, Patrick,” Emily giggled, as she shook her head. “But just like Sam, I think that the name Natayla Rose is a precious name.”
“I think it will suit her. The name just seems too cute and so strong just like Braveheart is,” Robin said with a grin, as she looked up at Patrick.
“Gosh, I remember the carebears,” Nikolas said with a chuckle, as he held Emily’s hand, and he gave it a gentle squeeze. “But then my crazy grandmother made me change the channel anytime I would be watching it.”
“She doesn’t know a good show when she sees it,” Lucky interjected, as he shook his head, and he crossed his arms over his chest when he finished his own slice of cake. “Mmm, that was some good cake, Robin.”
“Thank you but you should really thank the bakery down the street,” Robin said with a grin, as she looked around the room. “You don’t actually expect that I would make all these foods for my baby shower, did you? I mean, hello… I am pregnant!”
“She’s a little minx I tell you,” Jason laughed, as he shook his head, and he took one of Sam’s hands in his own, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“Trust me when I say this but Robin Scorpio is too smart for her own good,” Patrick said with a shake of his head. “And it makes me terrified what Natayla and Robert are going to turn out like when they’re older.”
“Aw, I’m not that bad, am I?” Robin grinned, as she continued to rub her stomach where her fingers slid through Patrick’s, intertwining their fingers together.
“Oh please, gorgeous! You know that you are definitely more than that,” Patrick whispered into her ear and then pulled away. “How about we start on opening gifts now?”
“Ooooh, I think that sounds like the best idea I have heard all day long,” Robin said with a grin, as she looked at Patrick. “Are you sure I can’t open your gift first?”
Patrick had to laugh at her attempt to get his gift he got. “No baby. Trust me… it’s something that you never expect. How about we start with Emily and Nikolas’s gift, hm?”
“Hm, I am now even more curious now,” Robin smiled, as she grabbed the bag in the center of the table of where all the gifts were at in front of her.
Shaking his head, he watched Robin lean back against the couch when she began to take the contents out of the bag that had the wrapping tissue inside. Robin gasped, as she pulled each article out, and she smiled over at Nikolas and Emily.
They had gotten her some Huggies, of course because there were never too many diapers for their daughter in the first place. Also, they had got Natayla a carebears onesie set with each carebear on each one. There were also a couple of bibs with the carebears, as well. They had even bought a white overall, which a light pink top that had a couple of the characters from the carebears.
“Oh, this is just so cute, you guys! She’s going to look so precious in it,” Robin gushed, as she ran her fingers over the overalls, and she smiled over at her friends.
“We thought you would definitely like it,” Nikolas said with a chuckle, as he watched Robin’s reaction, and he was so pleased to how happy she looked.
“Well, we do,” Patrick said with a grin, as he watched Robin place everything back in the bag, and he watched her grab a bag. “Who is that one from?”
“It’s from Jason and Sam,” Robin said with a smile on her face, as she began to look through the contents of the gift bag.
Just like Emily and Nikolas, Jason and Sam had bought some diapers. They had bought a carebear mobile for the crib, two baby monitor walkie talkies as well, and a winter set, which consisted of a white pullover sweater, a matching hat that would cover her ears, white matching gloves, and a matching scarf as well.
“It’s a really good thing that she will be born in the fall,” Robin smiled, as she ran her fingers over the warm material of the sweater, and she could not make the grin disappear from her face. “This is the perfect and the most adorable outfit that she could wear in the fall. Thank you, you two very much. Natayla will look like the most perfect baby and –“
“She will be the most perfect baby, especially with us as her parents, and having a big brother like Robert.”
Robin laughed at Patrick’s comment and she ran her fingers through her hair after she placed the items back in the bag. She then grabbed the bag from Lucky and Elizabeth. She cast them a look and she flashed them a smile, proceeding to see what they got their daughter.
Robin noticed that they had got their daughter a pair of heart earrings, which Robin thought was too cute the more she stared at the jewelry in her fingers. She noticed that there was a one hundred-dollar gift card to use at Toys ‘r’ Us and she noticed that there were two Braveheart carebears in the bag.
“Ohhh, Lucky… Liz, thank you so much,” Robin said with a smile on her face. “But two?”
“Well, we thought that you deserved one and all,” Liz admitted with a smile, as he looked over at Robin with a hopefully look, and she rubbed her daughter’s back gently. “Do you by any chance like it?”
“I do! Thank you both very much,” Robin said, as she cast them both a happy look on her face.
Robin looked up into Patrick’s eyes with a smirk on her face, as she had her arms wrapped around her own carebear. Seeing the smile on his face, she realized that it was time for her gift.
“So… I get my gift now?” Robin asked, as she watched Patrick, who was putting the items back in the bag where she held the lion carebear against her chest. “You said after I opened everyone’s gifts, I would get mine. Well, I have definitely opened everyone’s gifts.”
“Boy, you were definitely counting down,” Jason laughed, as he ran his hands over the bag of his neck. “Robin, if you don’t mind, do you think I’d be able to give Sam her gift first?”
Robin was now confused but then she remembered Emily and her conversation earlier after she lashed out at Elizabeth. “Uhhh sure, I guess, but it better be worth it for Sam going before moi.”
Hearing her teasing, Jason chuckled, as he nodded his head. “I really hope so.”
“Jason, sweetheart, what’s going on?” Sam asked, as she looked into her boyfriend’s blue eyes, and she ran a hand through her brown hair, while holding Mackenzie in her arms.
“So, since I have already done this once, I thought I would do it different this time,” Jason said with a wink, as he took out the small envelope from his leather jacket pocket.
Sam watched Jason walk over to the television and she watched him take the CD out of its case. She then saw Jason’s face appear on the screen and she smiled. Even though Jason was here, he still made her heart melt by just looking at him, but the sight of their daughter in his lap made that feeling skyrocket through the ceiling.
“So, if you are watching this, then that means that I am finally going to give my heart to the one woman I truly love,” Jason began, as he ran his fingers through his daughter’s hair. It was definite that Mackenzie had just been born a few hours before and Sam could be seen sleeping in the background. “I don’t even know where to begin, Sam. I never ever imagined that I would ever meet anyone like you. You make me want to be a better man. I am lucky that I got out of the mob business before I got in so deep where I couldn’t get out. I just couldn’t have a better day than this. This would be the day that you gave me the most perfect angel a man could ever ask for.”
“I never thought that I deserved to have a woman’s love before, Samantha McCall, but now, I have the love of two women, Sam. Both Mackenzie and you have given me everything that I can look forward to. We are already living together and have a beautiful daughter. I am asking you for the second time if you will allow me to become your husband. Will you marry me, baby?” Jason asked, as he leaned down where he brushed his lips against his daughter’s head.
As the video went off, everyone stared at Jason in shock, especially Elizabeth. The pain was definitely written across her face, but she knew at that very moment, Jason really loved Sam, especially with them having a little girl. After all, they had a little girl of their very own, and Lucky and her had their own daughter.
Everyone stared in between Jason and Sam, the tears in Sam’s eyes terribly noticeable.
“Jason,” Sam whispered, as she held her daughter close to her, who was sound asleep on her shoulder. “I don’t know what to say right now.”
“Well… there is always ‘yes’ if you would marry me, Sam,” Jason told her, as he grabbed her free hand, and he smiled straight ahead at her.
Sam heard everyone laugh, as a couple of tears fell down her face, and she watched Jason wipe those wet tears away from her eyes with his thumb.
“I guess I could marry you,” Sam teased, as she placed a hand against his chest, and she looked up into Jason’s blue eyes. “I would love to become your wife.”
As Jason kissed Sam, Robin couldn’t help but to be a little jealous. Sam and Jason were engaged, Nikolas and Emily were married, and so were Lucky and Liz. Unfortunately, she just felt like Patrick would never want to marry her. They had everything but Robin wanted to be able to be his wife, as well as Patrick being her husband. Was that so wrong to want a happy ending with the man she loved with more than her life itself?
“Congratulations Sam,” Robin said with a genuine smile, as she stood up to her feet, while her hand rested on her belly. “If you’ll excuse me, the toilet is calling my name.”
Once Robin was in the bathroom with the door shut, Emily slapped Patrick on the side of the head.
“Ow Emily! What in the world was that for? I didn’t do anything to you,” Patrick pouted, as he rubbed the back of his head. “Why did you just hit me?”
“When are you going to ask Robin to marry you?” Liz interrupted, as she placed Lesley down on the ground, and she walked over to Patrick with her hands on her hips. “Do you have any idea how much Robin wants to marry you? Not only does she want that, but also, she thinks you aren’t up for the idea of marrying her. Is that true, Patrick? Would you rather go back to Leyla and sleeping with different women all the time?”
“She thinks that?” Patrick asked with a frown, as he looked in between Elizabeth and Emily. “When did she say this to you guys?”
“Patrick, she didn’t need to say it to us,” Emily sighed, as she looked over at him. “We are just letting you know that Robin doesn’t plan on being your girlfriend for the rest of your life. She wants something more exclusive – something more serious. You need to step it up and –“
“Be a damn man!” Liz interjected, as she glared at him, and she shook her head in disbelief. “You’re going to lose her if you aren’t ready to be in a serious relationship.”
“Oh my God!” Robin groaned, as she shook her head when she walked over to them. “What are you two doing by harassing my boyfriend?”
“We’re just trying to help, Robin,” Emily and Liz said with pouts on their faces.
“Don’t worry about it, Robin,” Patrick said, as he grabbed her hand, and then grabbed the bag he had brought in. He then looked at everyone, as little Robert grabbed his mother’s hand. “Since I was harassed by two, beautiful women, I think I really need to do this gift in private.”
Before anyone had a chance to say anything, Patrick, Robin, and little Robert disappeared down the hallway of Patrick and Robin’s bedroom.
--
Placing Robert on the bed, Robin sighed, as she moved to stand in front of her boyfriend, and she looked up into his deep brown eyes.
“Patrick, I am sorry about Emily and Elizabeth. I –“
“Baby, don’t worry about it,” Patrick chuckled, as he helped her sit down on the bed. “Now, do you want the first part of your gift? There are three gifts to this special ‘gift’ I have in store for you but you can’t give me an answer until you get all three. Those are the rules. Do you understand, baby girl?”
Robin simply nodded her head and mumbled a ‘Mm-hmm’ to him.
“Then, okay, then. So, now that you understand, let me give you the first gift,” Patrick said, as he set the bag on a nearby chair, and he pulled out a card. “So, I decided to write you something, as you know I always stick my foot in my mouth whenever I say something. This is something I definitely I don’t want to mess up.”
“You don’t always stick your foot in your mouth,” Robin teased, as she ran her hand through her brown hair, looking at the card that was in a red envelope. She realized that whatever Patrick had planned that was in the bag, it was serious because he looked so nervous.
“Thanks baby. I know you’re just trying to make me believe I’m not a fool sometimes,” Patrick said, as he gave her a smile, and he looked over at his little boy, who had that dimpled grin on his handsome face. He then handed Robin the card.
As Robin took the card out, she saw the white card had a red heart in the middle, which said ‘I love you.’ She looked into his eyes and she smiled over at Patrick. He was truly amazing. Finally, she opened the card, and noticed his handwriting. It was one of those cards that had pages inside of it. Whatever he had to say, he really wanted to pour out his heart.
‘To my beautiful, pregnant girlfriend:
I consider you to be one of my best friends, baby. You’re the one woman and person that I can definitely talk to about everything and anything. Whether it’s about work, our two children, how good I pleasure you, or just how much I love you, you always give me your honest opinion, baby. I am so grateful to how wonderful you have been for me. I sometimes think that I am dreaming that you’re in front of me, pregnant with our second child.
I was the type of man that ran away from anything that involved commitment and woman in the same sentence. To be honest, I’m not so scared like I thought I could be, Lovebug. My dad always had faith in the two of us from the start when we first met. He was just telling me right before we found out we were having a girl, he knew that we would be together from the start. I only called him a liar but he knew I was just joking around.
Can you believe how long we have been together, Lovebug? I know we were together for a while before, and I know we haven’t been together that long, Robin, but the thought of not being with you forever and ever scares the hell out of me. I don’t want to experience that all.
You are the only woman that makes me so incredibly happy. You bring a smile any time I look into those beautiful eyes of yours. I love the look on your face when you eat your chocolate mocha ice cream bar. I find it so adorable when your freckles on your nose twitch when you’re in deep thought. Most of all, I love the content look on your face when you’re sleeping, especially being pregnant. You rub your belly every, single time Natayla kicks against your stomach.
I love you so much, Robin Anna Scorpio. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?’
Robin had tears running down her face, as she couldn’t believe her eyes at the words on this thoughtful card. She held it to her chest and she looked over at Patrick, who was grinning. He looked so happy and she knew she couldn’t say anything quite yet, remembering when he said that there was three parts to her gift.
“So, Robert and I went to the Build A Bear workshop. Can I tell you that I had no idea of all the jumping around you had to do,” Patrick said with a tease and he looked into her eyes when he pulled out the stuffed animal from the bag.
He pulled out a brown bear, who was in a pair of pink scrubs, a doctor coat, and had a pair of white shoes on its feet. It also had a stethoscope around its neck.
“Mommy, Daddy and I recwarded our voices on it!” Robert said with a grin on his face, as he looked up at his mother with a proud smile on his handsome face. “Each paw, you cwan hear thwem, Mommy!”
Robin smiled, as she pressed the right paw where her son’s voice could be heard. “I wuv you, Mommy, and so does Daddy.”
“I love you too, sweetheart,” Robin said with a smile, as she kissed her son’s cheek, and then pressed the left paw where Patrick’s voice was on it.
“So, this is the second part, baby. I love you so much. I am asking you to marry me. Let me marry you and allow to let you make an honest man out of me.”
Robin had to laugh at the words and she wiped the tears away with the back of her hand. This just seemed so unreal to her and she looked over at Patrick, to her son, and then back to Patrick. She then watched him get down on his knee in front of her. She simply felt like she was on some dream fantasy or something. This was something she had not even expected to hear from him.
“Patrick,” Robin gasped, as she bit down on her bottom lip, and she ran a hand through her hair. “I –“
“I love you so much, baby. When Liz and Emily told me that you thought I didn’t want to marry you, I felt like I was failing you. Then again, I think it might have just been your hormones taking control again, and please don’t hit me for saying that,” Patrick said with a grin, as he took her hand in his, placing a single kiss on it. He then took the ring out of the bag, revealing his love for her. “I want to be able to wake up next to you every morning and fall asleep for the rest of our lives. I’d love to give Robert another or two siblings at it too. You’re my world just like Natayla and Robert are as well. Marry me, Robin – make me the happiest man alive.”
“Can I say something now?” Robin asked with a blush, as she watched Patrick wipe away the fallen tears that had fell down her face with his thumb once again. “You did tell me to wait.”
“You’re such a smart woman,” Patrick chuckled, as he simply nodded his head. “You can definitely answer.”
“To answer your question, I will definitely marry you,” Robin said with a smile that could light up the room.
“Daddy, Mommy said yes!” Robert said with a grin, as he watched his father slip on the white gold ring that had a simple diamond in the center, which had two hearts on each side of the diamond. “We going to bwe a family?”
Patrick grinned over at his son and he simply nodded his head. “Yes Sport, we’re going to be a family now. It’s about time that we start to make a brand new start now.”
“I like the sound of that,” Robin said, as she looked at the simple, gold ring on her finger, and she smiled at the most two, important men in her life. “It’s time for the start for our future – a beautiful one at that.”
