The way he had looked at her as she had been looking over the files, Robin just couldn't control herself anymore, and it worried the hell out of her. She was pregnant but he looked at her like she had some sort of fungus on her or if she was some sort of time bomb. Did he really know that she was carrying his baby after all? The way he looked at her or even the comment he had said about her being pregnant with his child made her see something in him that he couldn't even see in himself.
Patrick Drake desperately wanted to become a father and the thought of this scared the hell out of him.
At least, that's what she was hoping for.
Robin Scorpio was finally pregnant and she relieved that Patrick wasn't exposed to her HIV, as she really would not be able to forgive herself if he got infected. Being pregnant with his child brought a smile to her face and nothing could ruin this moment.
After finding out that Elizabeth had actually given birth to Jason Morgan's first child and son, she knew she had to tell Patrick, but if she did that, she would be ruining his life. That was something she did not want to do that.
What if someone found out and told Patrick before she had the nerve on telling him?
He would be so angry and she wasn't even sure if he would believe her. Knowing Patrick, he would think that it was some trap to keep him, but it just wasn't. This was her miracle baby and she was so lucky to finally get what she has wanted ever since she lost Stone. She may not have admitted she wanted to be a mother, but in reality, Robin Scorpio was going to be a mother.
The wind whipped across her face as she stopped walking, just standing in place, thinking about what if she told him the truth about her being pregnant with his child.
One could only hope for the best for Robin Devane-Scorpio. Licking across her bottom lip, she looked over at the bench Patrick and her would make out for hours after work, and a sigh left her lips.
Robin missed him.
So much had happened in the last, couple of months. As much as she had thought it had been Leyla's fault, Patrick wanted complete different goals in life than what she wanted. She wanted a baby…
And he did not.
What was so wrong about becoming a parent? She didn't even understand why he didn't want this. A part of her did but she just didn't want to even think about.
She placed a hand on her belly and the corners of her mouth curved up. She was finally getting what she had longed for years and that was a bundle of joy.
Robin Scorpio was pregnant with hers and Patrick's first child.
Could she really do this by herself? If Patrick knew, would he run so fast, or would he man up and be there for the two of them like she had pined for? She could only hope for a miracle and that was to get what she wanted.
Uncle Mac had wanted her to get everything in life and he had been there when she had thought that her parents had died in a boat explosion. So much has happened to her ever since she had returned to Port Charles three years ago.
Smiling at the memories, she realized she had been the happiest when Patrick was in her life. Suddenly, the tears began to spill down her face, and she didn't know what to do. Moving over to the bench, she took a seat, and she swore that she could almost smell his cologne on the bench.
Robin placed her hand over her flat belly that would begin to show soon and that thought brought a smile to her face.
"Oh baby, I can't wait until you're hear in my arms. You're going to be so beautiful and loved by everyone. I wish--- I could get the courage to tell your daddy the truth but here's the thing. Daddy doesn't think he's father material but I think he'd be so amazing at it. God, if he only knew."
Closing her eyes, she traced her belly button through her blouse, and she took a deep breath as she allowed her hand slide from her belly down to her kneecaps, rubbing them slightly.
God, what had she come to? Her life was a mess and there was no way she could turn back. She wasn't even sure if she wanted to. She was pregnant and in eight months, she'd be a mother.
She had to be strong for her son or daughter. She could see images fluttering away in her mind of her son or daughter falling on absentmindedly, trying to walk. Her eyes were filled with joy, happiness, remorse, sadness, and anger.
"What am I going to do with myself?" Robin asked herself, sliding both of her hands protectively over her belly as if someone were going to take her baby away. "He just--- needs to know. Patrick needs to know the truth."
Tears blurred her vision as she looked across the water at Spoon Island where Nikolas lived. He had been through so much in the past years. He had lost Courtney, gained a son, and when things were going perfect, he lost the love of his life. How did he even do it?
Bravery. Honesty.
Never had she planned on falling love, especially not Patrick Drake. He had been such an egotistical jerk but she had even enjoyed working with him. She still did but she really missed their intimate bantering. The supply closet on the tenth floor had been their special place.
Now, she was alone, and she was probably going to be alone. No man ever wanted a pregnant girlfriend.
Standing up to her feet, she walked up the stairs, heading home. She had been living with her Uncle Mac ever since Patrick and her had been split. Now, she was pregnant, she would be looking forward to staying here in Port Charles where her friends and family were.
All she prayed was to have a healthy baby. Even though her viral load was undetectable, there was still a small chance her son or daughter could possibly get HIV.
Was she doing the right thing?
Tears welted inside of her eyes as she leaned against the side of Kelly's, taking a deep breath as her stomach growled. A sigh left her lips since she hadn't ate all day. With Patrick staring at her, Robin couldn't help it if he knew he was the father, and it terrified because he just wasn't ready to become a father.
Although, when he hugged her, she felt like maybe--- just maybe, Patrick wanted this child if he knew. He would never forgive her if she hid her pregnancy. It might have been her intentions at first, but now, Robin wasn't sure what she was going to do.
"What do I do now? Do I keep it a secret or should I tell him the truth?"
"Who are you talking to, Robin? Is this what pregnant women do now? Do they talk to themselves?" Patrick asked, flashing her a crooked grin, but then fell when he saw the look on her face. "Robin, what's wrong?"
