The cold April air blew through the night, and she pulled her winter coat tighter around her body, not wanting to get sick. Robin watched the snow and the snowflakes fall from the sky and then down to the concrete sidewalk. This had been one of the worst nights since Patrick and her had broken up, after she had caught him in bed with Leyla.
The thought of the two still tangled up in the sheets brought tears to her eyes. As she had caught the two in her and Patrick's bed after they had had a fight. Robin never imagined that anything could ever hurt as bad as it did that night. She was definitely wrong when she caught Patrick and Leyla in each other's embrace in the shower, making love.
Things couldn't possible couldn't get any worse for her, especially since she found out she was pregnant with Patrick's and her first child together. Taking a seat at Kelly's, she ordered some hot chocolate and a piece of some chocolate cake, and then, Robin placed her hand on her stomach, the small bulge hiding through her coat.
How was she going to tell Patrick that she was pregnant with their child? He had moved on from her so quickly and the tears that she had been holding stung her eyes . She just didn't know how Patrick could move on so fast after just merely three months. Then again, he was a playboy, and Leyla had definitely gotten what she wanted, and that was Patrick. He had been hers, and now, Patrick belonged to Leyla.
Taking a peek at the small bulge of her stomach, Robin gave a faint smile before closing her coat quickly after Mike placed the cup of hot cocoa and cake down in front of her. He had always been so nice and generous ever since she had moved back to Port Charles two years ago.
"Robin, are you all right?" Mike asked, throwing a rag over his shoulder, and then he placed his hands on his hips. "What's the matter? You look so sad."
"I am sad, Mike. but I'm fine," Robin lied, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. "I just have a lot on my plate, Mike, but there's nothing like chocolate to cheer me up."
"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it, Robin?" Mike asked with curiosity bugging out of his eyes. "I mean, I may not be Jason or Sonny, but you know you can always talk to me."
Robin offered him a weak smile. "No, I'm fine, Mike, but thank you very much. I know that I can count on you unlike some people in my life."
"Robin, I will always be here for you. You're like a daughter to me," Mike leaned down, kissing the top of her forehead, and brushed some hair from her face.
Not realizing that Patrick and Leyla had just entered, Robin buried herself into the chocolate cake. "I do have some exciting news that will blow everyone's minds away. If you do talk or see Sonny, let him know that I am in need of a friend?"
"Sure thing, Robin. I can do that for you," Mike said and walked back behind the counter of Kelly's, wiping down the counter.
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in?" Leyla smirked, approaching Robin while Patrick was in the bathroom. "I see that you are already trying to stir up some more trouble than you've already done?"
Robin rolled her eyes, not even sure what this woman wanted from her. She never talked, touched, or even acknowledged her.
"I'm talking to you. You can at least look at me."
Robin placed her spoon down and looked up at Leyla. She simply stood up and glared at her. "Look Leyla, I don't like you, but at least, I know how to act like an adult in public. Just get out of my way."
"Or what? What are you going to possibly do?" Leyla scoffed, pushing Robin back down, which made her miss her chair, and she fell on her butt on the floor beside her chair.
"Geez! Robin, are you all right?" Jason asked, running to her side, crouching down at her level. "Hey, you all right there?"
Robin sighed, nodding her head, watching Jason's eyes land on her belly, and she simply placed her hand there out of instinct. When Patrick came out, Robin buried her head into his chest, sighing heavily.
"Jason, I want to go home. Would you take me home?" Robin asked against his chest, clutching at his arm grasping that leather jacket he was sporting.
"Sure thing, Robin. Let's get you out of here away from harm's way," Jason said, sliding his arms around her waist.
"Harm's way?" Leyla snapped, rubbing her cheek. "She hit me!"
"I—" Robin began but didn't get to finish her statement.
"What the hell, Robin?" Patrick glared at her. "I know that we're not together but do you have to attack Leyla? She didn't do anything to you---"
"Whoa, stop right there, Drake. Robin didn't do a damn thing! This woman has got you wrapped around her little finger, doctor, and you know it," Jason glared, then turned to Robin, lifting her up in his arms, and Robin simply laid her head against Jason's shoulder. "Let's go, Robin. You can stay at my place for a few days. I'm pretty sure Elizabeth won't mind."
Robin smiled against his shoulder, snuggling close to him. "Thank you, Jason. I know I can always count on you when I am down."
"You deserve it, Robin," Jason said as he walked out of Kelly's with Robin in his arms.
Patrick turned to Leyla and raised an eyebrow. "Are you lying to me, Leyla?"
Leyla looked shocked and she simply shook her head. "No baby, let's get some dinner."
Patrick simply nodded, helping Leyla sitting down in her seat, sitting down in the seat across from her. He couldn't help but wonder if what Jason said was true.

For the next couple of weeks, Robin avoided Patrick and Leyla at all costs. If Patrick wanted to talk to her, she would avoid him. She was still staying at Jason's and Elizabeth 's. After she sat them down, telling them about her baby, they thought it would be best if she stayed a little longer. Robin knew that they only cared about her and she understood that. Sooner or later, she'd have to go and buy a place. when she had moved in with Patrick, she had given up her nice apartment. Now that she was expecting a baby, Robin knew that she would need a bigger and better place.
Robin was so happy that Jason and Elizabeth were together as well. After Lucky had gone into drugs, Sam had comforted him, and Jason comforted a broken down Liz. They needed each other more than anyone could ever imagine. Even though Lucky didn't like Jason with his ex-wife, Lucky knew that he would protect Liz, Cameron, and Jake. Since Sam was pregnant with Lucky's first child, he was so happy. He had always thought that he wasn't able to conceive children with a woman, but now, Sam and he were having a little boy.
"Hey Robin."
Jumping out of her thoughts as she sat in the waiting area, she looked up to see Lucky. He looked so happy and she knew it was because of Sam and the baby boy.
"Hey Lucky, what are you doing here?"
Lucky flashed Robin a smile, taking hold of her hand when he sat down beside her. "Well, I thought it would be nice for you to have some company when you find out the sex of your baby, Robin?"
When Robin heard Lucky's offer, she was glowing. "Oh, Lucky! This means so much to me, but are you sure you want to? I mean, you could be at home with Sam, taking care of her, rubbing her feet, or something."
Lucky placed a hand on Robin's round belly and he simply shook his head. "No Robin, I'm not going anymore, and Sam understands. Since Patrick won't be there, Robin Scorpio, you deserve to have someone share the joy when you find out the sex of your baby."
"You're pregnant?"
Robin lifted her head when her eyes came in contact with the man that she was still in love with. She watched as the charts fell from his fingers. She had been wearing bigger scrubs to work to hide her round belly from Patrick and all she could do was nod. As Lucky gave her hand a squeeze, and she was about to say something, Leyla ran up to Patrick.
"Oh, there you are, Patrick! I was looking all over for you," Leyla said, linking her arm through Patrick's, kissing his cheek, and giving Robin a fake smile.
"Not now, Leyla," He said through gritted teeth, looking back to Robin. "You're pregnant and you didn't tell me, Robin? How could you do this to me?"
Leyla's jaw dropped when she heard that Robin was pregnant. "You're pregnant? Who's the daddy, Robin?"
Robin looked at Patrick and then looked down at the ground. All this tension really wasn't helping her at all and she felt nauseous. When Lucky began to rub her back to somehow try to make her feel better, she let out a defeated sigh.
"Me, Robin? I'm the father?" Patrick asked, looking down at her, rubbing the back of his neck. "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Because… as I recall, you didn't want children, and you're with Leyla, Patrick," Robin sighed, licking across her bottom lip, placing her hand on the bulging belly over her maternity top.
"And he's to continue being with me, Robin," Leyla piped in, glaring at Robin. "H-How could you even keep this child, Robin?"
Robin was shocked by her outburst and her hormones took the better of her, tears falling down her cheeks, laying her head in her hands.
Lucky saw this and he glared at Leyla. "I don't like you, Nurse Mir, but if you don't get out of here, I will personally give the Commissioner a call when he finds out that you made his niece cry. If I were you, I'd haul your ass in the other direction!"
Leyla gulped and looked up at Patrick. She tugged at his hand but he didn't pay her any attention. "I think that we should go, Patrick."
"No, I'm not going anywhere," Patrick shook his head, turning to face her. "You can go back to work, Leyla, especially since I need to talk to Robin."
"Why do you need to talk to her?" Leyla asked, shaking her head. "You're my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Carly laughed, approaching the four of them. "Patrick doesn't love you, you skank, especially since he's still head over heels in love with Robin. Get over yourself and move on."
"Who the hell---"
"Stop it!" Robin cried out, getting aggravated with the fighting. "Just stop it, okay? I don't need to hear you guys fighting!"
Leyla turned her head to look at Robin, glaring at her, stepping forward. "You can't tell me what to do."
"But I can," Epiphany said approaching everyone. "Get back to work, Nurse Mir. What's going on here?"
"Nothing Epiphany, I'm sorry," Robin frowned, standing up with Lucky's help, who placed his hand on the small of her back.
Epiphany didn't say anything but walked away after Leyla did. The last thing she needed was to get in the middle of Dr. Scorpio or Dr. Drake's problems.
"Robin," Patrick sighed, frowning. "How could you not tell me you were pregnant, or even not tell me that I was the father?"
Robin sighed, looking down at the ground, not even sure what she was going to say to him. She licked her lower lip unable to mutter a word.
"I---"
"Robin, you ready?"
Robin was so thankful when she heard Kelly's voice. The last thing she needed was to start crying in front of everyone right now. She simply nodded her head and turned to Lucky.
"You still coming with , Lucky?"
"Uh Robin, I think I should back down from this. Maybe Patrick should go." Lucky offered, turning his attention to Patrick. "You need to do this."
Lucky walked over to Carly, leading his cousin away from them.
"Robin?" Dr. Lee prompted again, flashing her a warm smile. "Are you ready to see your baby boy or girl? I thought that you would be excited to see the sex of your child today."
"You don't have to come, Patrick... I'll understand." As much as Robin wanted him to come, she just wasn't going to pressure him, either. Robin looked at her good friend, Kelly Lee, and she nodded her head in her direction. "Yes, I'm definitely ready. Sorry."
Patrick watched Robin and Kelly walk off and he sighed. He still couldn't believe it. He was going to be a father… Father, a word he hadn't expected to ever leave his lips. As he thought about the way that he treated Robin, he wasn't even sure how he was going to win back the woman he loved very much. He wasn't even sure why he had hooked up with Leyla the way he had, sleeping with her after fighting with Robin.

Robin smiled, watching Kelly set up the equipment. As Kelly was pouring the cold gel on her stomach, she watched the door open, and she shyly blushed a little when Patrick walked in. Even though he was in his scrubs, Robin found him irresistible, and she realized she didn't want to raise this child by herself. Just thinking about it tore her insides up.
As Patrick's eyes landed on her round belly, he took in the sight of Robin. She looked--- very happy and it was because the two of them had created a life together. He pulled a chair up beside her, taking hold of her left hand, rubbing his thumb across her knuckles while Kelly grabbed the wand, beginning to run it over the cool gel that she had applied to Robin's belly.
When Patrick heard the thumping of their baby's heartbeat, he thought he might lose it. This was definitely no joke! The heartbeat only got even louder, which only scared Patrick.
"Is the heartbeat usually that loud for a baby?" Patrick asked, becoming awfully worried.
"Well, well, will you look at this, Robin. I can't believe I missed it!"
"Kelly, everything's okay, right?" Robin asked, getting a little bit scared.
"Oh yeah, Robin," Kelly said with a smile on her face. "It's just that you're having twins. This little one has been hiding behind his sister all this time."
"I'm having a boy and a girl?" Robin asked, getting all teary-eyed, blushing a little bit.
"Yes Robin, you're having one of each," Kelly said, giving her good friend a warm smile.
