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?

Robin looked around the hospital, frowning to herself. A sigh left her lips as she walked out of the locker room, wearing a pair of burgundy scrubs with her doctor's coat on top of her scrubs. She had her stethoscope around her neck, holding onto it lightly as she looked around the hospital. To Robin, the hospital still looked the same, and it probably always would be to her. As she walked to the Nurses Station, Robin smiled when she saw Epiphany with the new nurse interns.

Robin let go of the stethoscope as she grabbed a chart off the counter with her name on it, which indicated that she had some patients. She was so happy to be back here and she only came back to General Hospital because Dr. Ford and Dr. Monica Quartermaine practically begged her to come to the hospital with her expertise.

Being a doctor had always been Robin Scorpio's dream, along with being a mother and a wife. If she couldn't have all the dreams, at least Robin had this life of being one of the best doctor she could be. It was the most important thing, besides her life at home.

"Dr. Scorpio, it's good to have you back," Dr. Andy Archer smiled, holding a chart against his side, looking at her. "Is this your first day back at General Hospital?"

Robin gave the dirty blonde-hair handsome plastic surgeon a smile before she nodded her head. "Yes, it's my first day. How's it been for you the last several years? Are you still pining over Kelly?"

Andy laughed, running a hand over the back of his neck. "I guess you could say that. She's not a sex addict anymore but she won't even give me the time of day."

"Yep, that would be the Kelly that I know. Just give her time," Robin smiled as she looked at him. "It's really good to see you, Andy. I am glad that you are the first person I bumped into here."

"You don't want to see them, do you?" Andy asked, knowing she didn't want to see Dr. Drake or Nurse Mir. "I can try to help you on that if you'd like?"

Robin's eyes lit up as she heard his words. "Oh really? How are you going to hide me from the two evil spawns?"

Andy just laughed at her words, knowing that she was only trying to be funny, which he thought was too adorable. "Well, you could be my consult today if you'd like? Besides, it would be loads of fun to have the beautiful Dr. Robin Scorpio by my side."

Robin grinned as she nodded his head. "Sounds like a riot, Andy. Sure."

As Robin and Andy walked to the elevator, Robin pressed the button on the elevator to go up. As they walked in, Robin watched Patrick and Leyla walk down the hall.

"Please don't let them come in," Robin said to herself as Patrick's eyes landed on her when the elevator close. "Oh, just what I need. I thought you were going to protect me."

Andy grinned when Robin hit his shoulder. "I said I was going to try, Robin. You got to remember that General Hospital is a big workplace. Don't be all paranoid with me."

Robin laughed when Andy tried to sound really serious at that moment. "You're a crazy nut."

Andy laughed as the elevator dinged and he led her off on their floor where he began to check on patients with Robin by his side.

Patrick just could not believe it. Thinking that he had been seeing things, Patrick went to Epiphany, but she confirmed to him that Robin was back in town, working. He hadn't seen Robin in eight years and all he knew was he wanted to see what was going on with her. Why was she even talking to Dr. Archer anyway? It just didn't make any sense.

"Patrick!"

Patrick jumped a little bit when he heard someone call his name but it was only Leyla. "What Leyla? You don't have to scream my name."

"Well, I said your name a couple of times," Leyla said, shaking her head. "You've been really quiet, Patrick. What's going on with you?"

Patrick and Leyla were constantly fighting all the time, which also caused them to break up, and then later, they would hook back up together. Some people wondered how the two could even be in a relationship. As of now, the two were broken up because Leyla wanted more of his time, but he needed some space away from Leyla Mir. A guy just needed some space from his girlfriend, but sometimes, Leyla just wouldn't understand. Half the time during their relationship, Leyla would think that Patrick was cheating on her. Sometimes, Patrick considered it, but he never accomplished the task.

Patrick simply rolled his eyes, opening one of the charts. "Nothing Leyla. I am fine and a very busy doctor right now. I'll talk to you later."

Before Leyla could even say anything to Patrick, he was gone, and out of her sight. She grumbled as she walked in the other direction, totally oblivious to Emily and Elizabeth staring.

Elizabeth smirked, looking at Emily, who just laughed. "Nurse Mir better watch out if it is true. If Robin is back, Patrick won't even be able to think straight."

Emily laughed at Elizabeth's comment. "She won't be a happy camper when she sees that her nemesis is back in town."

Leyla knew that something was going on with Patrick but she wasn't even sure why. All she knew was she was going to talk to Patrick and get him to open up. A smile came to her lips, remembering the time that Dr. Robin Scorpio left Port Charles, along with General Hospital. Patrick had been so devastated but Leyla had comforted him, but little did she knew, Patrick could never intentionally get over the love of his life.

After all, Robin was his first love, and no one; not even a hot nurse would distract him from his true love. Patrick would always love Robin Scorpio more than anyone no matter who he dated or who he had sex with. Even though he only had sex with one other woman, Leyla Mir, he just couldn't let his heart move on.

Robin came off the elevator with a laughing Dr. Andy Archer, who pulled Robin to his side. Leyla's eyes landed on Robin as her eyes got wide in shock. No! She just couldn't be here.

"Robin, are you serious? That guy ran out of the hospital room screaming like a little girl because there was a bug on his bed that some kid planted?" Andy asked, holding his stomach to control his laughter. "I have never ever known a man to run away from a small bug."

Robin laughed softly, looking at him, and then feeling eyes on her in different directions. At the Nurses Station in front of her, there was Elizabeth and Emily, who were smiling. Robin then gave them a smile. Her smile faded when she looked to her right where she saw Leyla Mir, the woman, who had broken up her relationship to Patrick. She was practically scowling at Robin, which Robin rolled her eyes. As Robin looked to her left, it was the one person she just wasn't ready to face yet. Patrick was looking at her with a confused look on her face.

Robin looked at Andy for help. As she watched Andy look to his left at Patrick, she watched a smile come over his face.

"Well, I am glad everyone is glad to see Robin, but Robin and I have a consult. We'll see you guys later." Andy gave everyone a smile, grabbing Robin by the arm, dragging her to a secluded area. "Happy?"

Robin grinned at Andy as she threw her arms around his neck, giving him a hug. A few moments later, she pulled away where Robin and Andy began to look over one of his patients.

Patrick was very confused right now since he had seen Robin and Dr. Andy Archer together. Were they together or something? He knew he shouldn't let it bother him but he just couldn't help himself. Robin had never left his heart, and the fact that she was back in Port Charles, it really wasn't helping him either. He had seen the look Leyla had when she saw Robin step off the elevator with Dr. Archer.

Patrick walked into the locker room to see Leyla and he gave her a smile. What shocked him was when Leyla glared at him, which he quite didn't understand. He held his hands up in defense.

"What now, Leyla? Are you going to throw one of your tantrums?" Patrick asked, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against a locker, just staring at her. "What's got your panties in a twist this time?"

Leyla gasped, glaring at him. "Don't be talking about my panties that way, Patrick! I just need to know… are you and Robin going to get back together? Am I going to be alone like I've always been my whole life?"

Patrick should have known that Leyla was going to ask that question. "No Leyla. Robin and I have different values… goals in life and you know that. I have told you that too many times to count."

"I'm sorry, but with Robin Scorpio back in the closet, I just had to make sure. I trust you, baby, but it's her that I don't trust," Leyla frowned, shaking her head. "Do you remember that incident when she showed up at the Metro Court when she overheard Epiphany and me talking?"

Patrick just simply nodded his head, pulling her in his strong arms, flashing her a smile. "Don't worry about her, babe. Robin and I are far from ever getting back together. I have you in my life now, Leyla."

Leyla smiled, laying her head on his chest. "Thank you for making me see that there would be no way that Robin and you were ever get back together."

Patrick simply nodded his head, looking at Leyla. He wasn't even sure anymore. After seeing Robin after eight, long years without her, Patrick wasn't even sure what he was feeling, but he did know that he never stopped loving her. He knew that if Leyla knew his feelings for Robin, she would be pissed off.

Everyone watched Robin walk home with a big smile on her face. Elizabeth turned to Emily, who turned to Lucky and Nikolas, who simply shrugged their shoulders. They knew if Robin was hiding something and wanted to tell them, she would open up them. Maybe Jason knew the truth about what was going on with Robin.

Jason Morgan walked into Kelly's, noticing Elizabeth, Emily, Lucky, and Nikolas looking at him. He just shrugged his shoulders, ordering some food to go to take to Sam and him for dinner tonight.

"Jason, can we talk?" Lucky asked as Nikolas, Elizabeth, and Emily looked in his direction.

Everyone knew that Lucky and Jason had their differences but they had chose to get along for the sake of the kids. Lucky and Elizabeth had two boys and a little one on the way while Sam was pregnant with a baby boy, which they were going to call Alexander James Morgan. They had chosen that because of his brother AJ. It may have not been the same nice but it was the name Sam and Jason had chosen.

"Yeah sure, what's going on?" Jason asked, placing his phone in his pocket.

"We know that Robin's back and we were wondering if she was hiding anything?" Elizabeth asked, approaching her ex-lover, and her husband. "She's been a little too happy for someone that's returned back to work."

Jason sighed, knowing that people were going to come to him, and Jason looked at him. "I am not at liberty to say, actually. I promised Robin I wouldn't say, but I promise in time everyone will find out, and it's very good news. Nothing that bad has happened to Robin. I say either in a couple of days or next week, Robin will share the news to you guys. I swear if I could tell you guys, I really would, but it's just… not my place."

As they watched Jason grab the bag from Mike, Jason walked out the door. He knew that Robin had everything she needed, but if she didn't want them investigating in her life, Robin was going to have to cool down her excitement down a notch.

"I just hope that Robin tells us before anyone finds out. You know how people are," Nikolas stated, taking a bite of his burger in satisfaction.

"Yeah, me too. Robin deserves to be happy. First, Stone dies, then she dates Jason, which causes her to move to Europe because it was that bad, and then Patrick. Maybe she has a new man in her life or something?" Emily guessed, taking a sip of her milkshake.

"That could be it but wouldn't she tell us? I mean, we are her best friends," Elizabeth said, shrugging her shoulders. "I mean, I know if I were Robin, that's exactly what I would do."

Robin had got a phone call a couple days ago from Jason when Lucky and Elizabeth were asking him about why she was so happy. She was thankful that Jason hadn't told anyone about her secret that she had kept hidden for four years. Robin just wasn't exactly sure how everything would react, especially Patrick. She remembered the time when she had seen him at his worst when he found out she was going to do the whole artificial insemination. What blew him out was when his name wasn't even on the list but Robin just didn't care at that moment. It was her life.

The next day after Jason had called her, everyone was staring at her weirdly, and it was bugging the hell out her. What were they exactly trying to prove or even do to her? Elizabeth and Emily knew she hated being stared at but they were just staring… no, more like gawking at her like she was the prey of some animal. In a way, it was rather quickly. Besides the staring, Patrick had finally managed some guts and talk to her.

"Hi Robin." Patrick said, shoving his hands in the pockets of his doctor's coat. "How are you?"

"Hey Patrick. I'm doing okay. I'm just a little sleep. I didn't get a lot of sleep," Robin shrugged, closing a chart. She noticed that he had seemed a little nervous as well. "Is there something you need from me?"

Patrick simply shook his head, looking at Robin with a raised eyebrow. "Why did you come back here? Did you come back here to win me back, Robin? If you haven't noticed, I'm still with Leyla."

Robin had simply rolled her eyes when she had heard those cocky words leave his mouth. He was still the same guy she left behind him and he sure had the nerve to think she came back from him. Robin stifled a laugh, crossing her arms over her chest, shaking her head in disbelief. Patrick was still the egotistical doctor she had ever met but that ego of his had only doubled in size since she had left Port Charles.

"Wow Patrick," Robin laughed, walking to the other side of the Nurse's Station to grab one of her charts before walking back to where she had been standing. "I am not interested in you and I haven't been for eight years. If I were even the slightest interested in you, I would have stayed here in Port Charles to win you back. Leyla can have you all she wants because she's just like you. She wants to be the best when she will never be."

"Robin, I know you. We dated for two years," Patrick stated as he looked at the expression on her face. "Can you stand there with a straight face and tell me that you don't love me? I know I can't do that, Robin."

Robin glared at him. "I will admit that that I love you but there is only two men in my life that I will ever love more than you that treated me with more respect than you could ever imagine. Stone and Jason were the best where you're the bottom of my shoe."

Before Patrick could even say anything, Robin saw one of her patients, and she walked over to them , giving them a sympathetic smile. Patrick was about to turn when someone pushed him lightly.

"You bastard! Everything you said about us was a damn lie!" Leyla glared at him, throwing her hands up in the air. "You said you didn't love Robin and the only woman in your heart was me, Patrick. Why Robin? What makes her so special?"

"We're not having this conversation right now," Patrick replied in a stern voice, reaching over the counter to grab one of his charts to look at him. "I am busy right now."

"We will have this conversation, Patrick. You never have time for me anymore…"

As Leyla had begun to talk, Patrick, slammed his chart down on the counter, making some of the pencils and pens jump off the counter onto the floor.

"I never have time for you because I am working. I am so sorry that my life is so critical but you're far from perfect, Leyla. There are days I want to go out and you're just too tired to move," Patrick rolled his eyes at Leyla, crossing his arms across his chest. "I need to know if there is anything else you need to say to me?"

"Ugh, why do you have to be so juvenile sometimes?" Leyla spat, turning on her heel as she walked in the other direction, wanting some space away from the handsome doctor.

Robin laughed to herself, thinking about the fight between Patrick and Leyla. In a way, they were just perfect for each other since they had the same attitude, but then again, Leyla just didn't deserve a man like Patrick with his brilliance in the ER. Robin just didn't get how she could think of Patrick in such good ways after his comment he had made to her a couple days ago.

Sitting sideways on the bench in front of her locker, Robin smiled as she put that picture in her pocket. She knew sooner or later, she was going to have to bring him out in this world, but she just didn't know if it was such a good idea.

"Hey Robin," Andy smiled as he walked into the locker room, noticing Robin in her burgundy scrubs while he was wearing a pair of dark blue scrubs. "I need to know what's going on with you? You can tell me."

Robin laughed softly as she looked at Andy, knowing she could trust him. Everyone else had a big mouth where they just couldn't even be trusted with the littlest things.

"I guess I could tell you, Andy, but you can't tell a whole, okay? People will find out when I am good and ready to tell people."

Andy chuckled as he nodded his head. He made an invisible mark of a big x across his chest. "I cross my heart and hope to die, Robin. Now tell me why you really came back to Port Charles."

Andy walked out of the locker room with Robin with his arm around Robin's waist. After telling Andy the truth, she felt a huge weight being lifted off of her chest. She hadn't told anyone why she really came back to Port Charles and Dr. Andy Archer was such an understandable man.

"Again, promise me you won't tell anyone, Andy."

Andy just nodded his head as he looked at the other resident next to him. "I promise, Robin. Trust me. I'm no Patrick Drake."

Robin grinned as she then watched Andy walked off into the elevator to go visit a patient of his, leaving Robin deep in thought about Andy's comment. She was glad that she did come back to Port Charles, especially to General Hospital. Andy had been really helpful towards her and she really didn't know what she would do without her.

Robin nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard yelling. She knew exactly who it was. Patrick and Leyla were badgering one again, starting a little disagreement into a huge, massive fight. As she watched Leyla get into Patrick's face, Robin rolled her eyes as she turned her attention back to her charts, making little notes. She couldn't help but listen when her name was brought up.

"Do not call Robin that!" Patrick glared at Leyla. "She didn't do anything to you, Leyla. Have some damn respect towards the woman."

"What? Now you're defending that little hussy after what she's done to us, Patrick? Some boyfriend you are!"

Leyla then walked away with a glare in her eyes. "And there you go again… running off from another fight we have, Leyla!"

Robin honestly didn't know what to say as she completely taken back. Did Patrick just defend her in front of Leyla? She knew that they were together but it was just wrong. In a way, Robin felt proud that he did defend her. Leyla Mir had no reason to call her a hussy when Robin Scorpio was far from being one. If anyone were a hussy, that would be Carly and Leyla.

"Hey Robin," Elizabeth smiled, waving her hand in front of Robin's face to bring her back to reality. "Are you okay?"

Robin smiled lightly, nodding her head. "Huh? Oh yeah, I am perfectly okay. How are you doing, Liz? How are Jake and Cameron? How is the little one?"

"Well, morning sickness is kicking my butt, but I am doing pretty good." Elizabeth answered with a broad smiled. "And the boys are doing pretty well. I know Cameron would be happy to see you, though."

"I will stop by later this week to see him, Elizabeth. I just got some family stuff that I have to deal with," Robin lied, running a hand through her hair. "How about Thursday I visit him?"

Elizabeth simply nodded her head at her good friend. "Sure, that's a perfect time to him."

"Wonderful." Robin gave Elizabeth a warm smile. Robin knew that she had to tell her friends about why she returned to Port Charles but she just didn't want anyone to feel pity for her at all. "Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?"

"Nothing that I know about… why?" Elizabeth asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you think you can get everyone to my place tomorrow? I need to tell everyone why I've been so stressed out and so giddy lately and I know that Lucky, Emily, Nikolas, Patrick, and you are wondering what's going on. Just like Jason, it's not too bad, I think."

Elizabeth blushed. "Sure, I can get the group to come by. What if Leyla wants to come?"

Robin shrugged her shoulders. "Um, she can come if she wants to. Oh, make sure Andy and Kelly come along too. I want everyone to stop by."

As Robin walked away, Elizabeth couldn't help but to wonder what it was that she was hiding. She just hoped that it was nothing life-threatening or anything like that.
