Chapter 1
"Ok Robin, that's it, I can't take it anymore" Lainey walks over to where Robin is sitting on the floor buried in work.
"You can't go to work all day and then come home and work, I know you're having a hard time over your breakup with Patrick, but I want my friend back" she grabs Robin's hand and attempts to pull her up.
"I'm not working because of my breakup with Patrick, Lainey, I'm working because I enjoy it" Robin says with a sigh
"Sweetie, nobody enjoys working this much, come on, Kelly and I put together a little pre-birthday celebration for you with the girls at Jakes, and if you don't get off this floor and get cute, I will have to officially declare you insane".
"Pre-birthday celebration?" Robin asks
"Yeah, you know, the day before you birthday", Kelly says walking into the room. "As your roommates and dear friends, we feel it's imperative that we get you completely wasted."
"Liz, and Emily are going to be there and I invited the new nurse Regina, who I for the record think has a thing for our favorite heart surgeon, Dr. Julian. Besides, after what she's just been through, she could use some fun too."
"Yeah, well, maybe I should warn her about the "joys" of dating your co-worker", Robin snorts, "look how great that turned out for m…e" trailing off she looks up at the two women who had become like sisters to her since she moved back to Port Charles. "I am talking about it again aren't I" at their sympathetic nods, she jumped of the floor and starting towards her bedroom, "You guys are absolutely right, I need a night out with the girls".
Jakes...later that evening
"I am so glad Kelly called, this is just the distraction I need from the divorce proceedings." Liz says as she walks into Jakes with Emily.
"Nicholas told me that you and Lucky are having some problems, what's going on?"
Shaking her head, Liz sighs, "You mean more than usual, lets not talk about it tonight, if I do, I'll just get angry all over again".
"Angry, I understand, but lets forget our troubles tonight and have some fun", Kelly says as she walks into Jakes with Robin and Lainey.
"Ladies, welcome, come in, sit, what can I get for you?" Coleman calls out as the women sit at the bar.
"Coleman, we are celebrating tonight and when is over, we don't want to remember" Emily says, "agree"?
"Agree"
"What are we agreeing to"? Regina asks as she comes into the bar". She was flattered that Dr. Lee had invited her to join them, she'd just found out that the best friend she had at GH was a murderer and was now in a coma. She wasn't sure how drunk the others planned to get, but she was gamed.
"We just agreed to get drunk enough to forget this day" Liz says
"Halleluiah" replies Regina
"Hey Coleman, I don't think you've met Regina, she's one of the new nurses at GH, Regina, this is the man whose going to make us forget". Kelly says as she pulls Regina onto the seat next to her.
"Nice to meet you and thank you in advance" Regina calls out
"Always a pleasure to serve you lovely ladies" he says pouring the tequila. "So, what are you lovely ladies celebrating?"
"Our girl here" Kelly points to Robin "Is going to be remembering the day of her birth tomorrow.
"How about a toast" Lainey says and everyone raises their glasses "To Robin , may we always have time to take a night off and relax"
"Amen" they all echo
GH locker room… next day
Holding her head in both hands, Robin ask Liz and Kelly "whose idea was it to drink ourselves into oblivion?
"Emily's" Liz says
"What did I do"" Emily asks as she walks into the locker room
"You suggested drunken oblivion" Robin replies
"Yeah me, happy birthday Robin" Emily laughs
"Thanks"
"I've got to get to the nurse's station before Epiphany finds me" Liz says as she walks out, "I had fun last night"
"She's right, last night was fun, we should do that more often" Lainey says
"What? Get drunk and crazy?"
"No, hang out"
"Yeah" Robin says as they leave to check on their patients.
I've always rooted for Patrick and Robin and I've wanted to write a story about them for a while, so I decided why not now. Some of the scenes will be familiar to those of you who watch GH, but the later chapters will be mostly original. Please R&R, I'd really like to know what you think.
