A/N: This starts with Courtney and Jason in Las Vegas to get married so this is October 2003 Robin is visiting Las Vegas with Brenda and her mother
CHAPTER ONE
Robin tells her mother and Brenda who is tired to go ahead to their suites that she would go to her suite later that she wasn't tired so she was going to stay down and have a drink. They were worried about Robin because they knew she still loved Jason and he was going to Paris to marry Courtney on her birthday. Robin goes to the bar and has several drinks mostly tequila.
Jason goes up to refill his drink and sees Robin and walks over to her and says, "What are you doing here, Robin? Are you here to stop my marriage to Courtney?"
A shocked Robin turns around and sees Jason and is stunned and she cannot speak for a minute. "No I'm not here to stop your marriage. I am here with Brenda and my mother. Alan and Monica told us that you were getting married in Paris and so they sent the ELQ jet and brought us here so we didn't have to be in Paris when you married Courtney on my birthday."
"On your birthday? I forgot October 14 was your birthday. No one said anything about it being your birthday when Carly suggested it. I didn't know. I'm sorry Robin. Why do you care though?"
"You may have washed your hands of me and threw me from your life and Sonny did the same thing, and you may have stopped loving me when I told AJ about Michael, but I couldn't stop loving you in an instant. Alan and Monica knew I still loved you so they offered to pay for a vacation so I didn't have to be in Paris when you married Courtney. How could you agree to marry Courtney in Paris a city I showed you and on my birthday? Do you hate me that much?"
"No, I don't hate you. Like I said I forgot it was your birthday and as for Paris, Courtney and I are not getting married there. We are getting married here tomorrow. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in Las Vegas. I am really sorry. Hold it you said something about loving me. Do you still love me?"
Robin and Jason get another drink and she drinks the shot of tequila and asked for another and another as did Jason. They were both pretty drunk. "Yes, Jason I still love you and I always will. You are the love of my life and I just wish I was the love of yours, but I know I'm not because you never mentioned getting married when we were together. I realized that you never loved me like I loved you. You are marrying Courtney so you must love her a hell of a lot more than you loved me."
"I don't. She was in danger because of me. Everyone expected us to marry especially Carly so I proposed, but I am not going to marry her on your birthday."
"You know something Jason, you are still going to marry her and because of that my heart is hurting that is why I am drinking because I don't want to be sober and think about you marrying her, kissing her, making love to her and her loving you. Does she love you with her whole heart like I did? I want you to be happy. Does she make you happy? Does she make you laugh?"
"No, she doesn't and I have an idea, I really don't want to marry her. I don't love her like she says she loves me. I always wanted you and I did want to marry you but with the Carly and Michael situation I decided to wait until we got her situated but you told AJ after I told you that I was going to move in with Carly and Michael."
"That wasn't why I told. I talked to Carly the day I told AJ and she said that she was going to drug you like she did AJ and get pregnant with your child. You weren't there the night she came to drug you and so she drugged AJ instead and she also said you were her puppet and Michael the string. I couldn't let her do that to you because I loved you and wanted to protect you from her."
"Oh, Robin, I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you. I thought you told because of my moving in with Carly and you wanted to hurt me."
"I'm sorry that it hurt you, my telling AJ that is. I should have come to you first and told you what I was going to do and why before I did it. I'm sorry about that."
'
"I know I screwed up and these last four years I have been so mad at you for telling and to find out you did it out of love and wanting to protect me, I feel so stupid. I hurt you a lot toward the end, didn't I?"
"Yes you did. You were always with Carly and Michael. I was an afterthought, I wasn't a priority to you. I was last on the list, I felt like I didn't matter to you except when you wanted to have sex, you didn't make love to me anymore. It was just sex. You neglected me and hurt me time and time again and I forgave you for it, but you couldn't forgive me for telling AJ when all I was trying to do is protect you and love you like I always have. Carly also told me that if you didn't do what she wanted she would go to AJ and move into the Q's. I just wanted to protect you and you hated me and said cruel things to me on our bridge of all places. I have stayed away like you wanted me to. I haven't been back to Port Charles since you told me not to come back except for the 2000 nurse's ball, because it would be easier if you never saw my face again and you wanted me to go to Paris. Do you have any idea how much you hurt me? I was devastated and you didn't care. You were the one person that promised to love me and want a life with me. Well that was until Carly gave you a child that you thought I couldn't give you. Why didn't you tell me you had fallen in love with Carly so I could leave and try to live without you which wasn't easy, let me tell you. It was hard living without my heart and you were my heart and you had it in the palm of your hand and you threw it back at me after you had promised me a future with you. I loved you so much Jason, you have no idea how much I did love you."
"Wow, I never expected you to tell me all that but I needed to hear it. I never meant to hurt you so bad. I thought you didn't love me anymore and after what I said on the bridge that you would never come back to me. I wanted to go after you, but I figured you wouldn't want to see me. I loved you more than anything and I want another chance. I want you to come home and give us a chance. Will you?"
"Jason, you are getting married tomorrow to Courtney."
"I'm not marrying Courtney and I want another chance and I think we should get married here in Vegas so that we can go home to Port Charles as husband and wife. Robin, marry me?"
"Okay, I just hope tomorrow you won't regret marrying me and you realize that you love Courtney more than you loved me."
"I won't regret it. I promise.
"No promises unless you can keep them. You promised me a lot and broke every single one of the promises you made me. I don't want promises that you know you can't keep."
"Okay I won't make any promises to you that I can't keep. I promise to not let you go again. I promise not to kick you from my life again, that being said let's go get married."
"Okay, yes let's go get married. I have wanted to be your wife for years, since 1996 to be exact."
"Take my hand and let's get married."
Robin takes his hand and they go to the chapel and get married. They go to Robin's suite and make love all night long. They finally fall asleep about 4:20 AM. Robin worries that with morning he may think he made a mistake, she thinks about this and hopes not. Time will tell.
