Chapter One

"Knock knock." Noah opened up the office door and smiled at Robin. "How is my favorite chief of staff doing today?"

Robin looked up from her computer and laughed at her father-in-law. "Great but don't let your son hear you say that."

"Why not – he already knows it's true." Noah sat down in the chair in front of Robin's desk. "Besides, he happens to agree with me."

"You two agreeing on something – that's scary." Robin smirked at him. "So what bring you in today?"

"I just wanted to wish you a happy anniversary." Robin looked at him in surprise. "One year ago today you and my son started working here as Co-Chiefs of Staff." Noah fidgeted in his seat a little bit. "You didn't forget – did you?"

"How could I forget? It's only two days after my wedding anniversary. Thank you again for watching Emma this weekend." Noah had taken Emma to Disneyland so that Robin and Patrick could enjoy the weekend together.

"My pleasure, especially since I couldn't be there for the wedding." Patrick and Robin's last wedding had happened so fast that he had not been able to get to Port Charles to witness it.

Robin cringed. "I'm sorry about that…"

"It's okay – I get you guys all the time now and I could not be happier about it." Noah looked around the office. "Where is my son by the way?"

"He is in surgery with Matt." One of the first things Robin and Patrick had done after they arrived in Berkeley was get Matt released from prison and begin working on getting his medical license reinstated. It had taken almost a year but now Matt was licensed and back to work with his brother and father. Today was Matt's first surgery in over five years and Patrick, as chief of staff, was there to supervise.

"That's right – I offered to be in there but they felt there wouldn't be enough room in there for three Drake egos." Noah and his sons were becoming closer every day. "How are the boys doing?"

Robin shook her head as she started to stand up. Noah jumped up from his chair and took her hand. "Which boys are you talking about – yours or ours?"

Robin rubbed her swollen belly as she finished standing up. Although she loved being pregnant the fact was that her two sons were already stretching her belly to its limits and she still had three months to go.

"Well, my boys are in the OR while yours are right here." Noah was thrilled to get to be a part of this pregnancy. He had missed most of Robin's pregnancy with Emma, Emma's birth and a lot of time with Emma after she was born and no intentions of making the same mistake with his grandsons. "So, how are you doing? Do you need anything? Have you eaten lunch?"

Robin rolled her eyes. "I swear the hovering thing is hereditary." She took Noah's arm as he led her toward her office door. "Lunch would be wonderful and we are all doing great. Dr. Block said that the babies are the size he wants them to be and he sees no need to worry."

"That is great." He led her down the hall towards the cafeteria. "Is your mom going to be able to come out here before the babies come?"

"She hopes so." Robin had just talked to her mother the night before. "Dad and her are working a case and it is taking longer than she thought it would but Mac already has two months blocked out on his calendar. His plan is to be here for the c-section so I am supposed to tell him the date as soon as it is scheduled."

"Of course he does – how much has he bought for them already?" Mac loved his girls but had been thrilled to discover he was finally getting some boys to play with – even if they were 3,000 miles away.

"Well, Felicia finally reined him in a little bit but we already have at least two of every piece of sports equipment possible. Thank goodness we have a large basement." Robin had found the perfect house for the family less than a week after they arrived in California. Two stories with four bedrooms, two baths, a pool and a huge backyard, it was perfect for the rapidly growing family.

"That's good but tell him I get to buy them their first race tracks." Noah held the tray as Robin and him picked out their lunches. They reached the cashier and Noah quickly pulled out his debit card. "My treat."

She thought about arguing but realized it was pointless. "Thank you." Robin walked with him to a table and they sat down to eat. "You may have to fight my husband to buy them their first race tracks – Patrick sees this as the perfect opportunity to turn the den into a man cave."

"I'm sure you will keep him in line – you always do." Noah opened up the milk carton and handed it to his daughter-in-law. "Now drink up – it's good for you and the boys."

Robin took a long drink of her milk. "See – hovering."

"We hover because we love you."

"And I love you." Robin took another drink of milk before starting in on her salad. "Now, how did the Simpson surgery go this morning?"
