It had almost been a year since Malachi and Arianna were born and life in the new Drake household had been what Patrick and Sabrina had hoped for. An adjustment period at first but once they got into a routine they found it a lot easier having the extra space. Sabrina had gone back to work along with Patrick at the hospital after her maternity leave was over.
Felix: "Hey girl, its good to see you! What have you done to your hair?" He looked at the messy bun of uncontrollable frizz in terror.
Sabrina: "Felix, I just don't have time anymore to do my hair everyday. I have to feed the twins and then wake up Emma and get her ready and as much as Patrick does help, it is hard to ask him to help when he has come home from a long shift at the hospital"
Felix: "Well I understand that I guess, but what I think you need is a day away with your best friend and then a night away with your husband."
Sabrina: "That would be amazing Felix, but the twins birthday is coming up and I don't want to miss work because I need the day off."
Felix: "Trust me when Epiphany sees you, she will agree with me."
Sabrina: "Well let's not have her find us in here." Referring to the empty exam room they were in.
Felix: "Alright, let's get to work, slave driver. I have not missed this side of you."
Sabrina and Felix laughed as they started their rounds. When Sabrina got home from her shift, Patrick wasn't home yet so she looked in the mirror and decided that since the babies were down for the night and Emma was staying at a friend's house, she would have some time to make herself feel a little bit better about her appearance. Her focus wasn't on that when she was home with the babies on maternity leave, but now that Felix brought it up, she decided if Felix's noticed it, Patrick of course had noticed it as well. She took a shower and decided to tackle her hair first. She blow-dried it straight and flat ironed her hair. She was playing music to get herself in the mood to spruce up. She had checked on the babies and worked quickly as she thought Patrick would be home sooner rather than later. She was in her underwear deciding on an outfit when Patrick walked through the front door. She didn't hear him come in, but he decided to follow the music up to the master bedroom and saw that the light in the closet was on. He tried not to make a sound as he wanted to surprise her, he walked closer to the closet and noticed she had her hair done but didn't have any clothes on besides her underwear. He sneaked up to her and put his hands around her waist. She jumped but knew whom it was by the way he held her in his arms. She turned around to face him and he was surprised to see Sabrina with her hair and makeup done.
Patrick: "Sabrina you look amazing. Not that you don't look amazing any other day or time, but you just look like yourself again."
Sabrina: "Thanks, I wanted to make you remember the woman you feel in love with, it is just everything has been so crazy with the twins, I thought you wouldn't remember."
Patrick pulling her into his arms "I could never forget you or the way I see you when I look at you." Kissing her for what she thought must have been forever.
They finally pulled apart from lack of oxygen, but they went right back to kissing and moving out of their closet into their bedroom the moment they had regained some air. Patrick lifted her up onto the bed and Sabrina let out a squeal.
Patrick: "Shh, you don't want to wake up the babies."
Sabrina: "Well I guess we should hurry up, huh, they are supposed to wake…."
Patrick climbing onto the bed and kissing her stomach and moving towards her neck interrupted her. Though Carlos had been killed and long gone, Sabrina's body still showed some of the scars from the relationship. Patrick made sure to kiss these spots extra long, to make sure she knew she was loved and was still drop dead gorgeous in his eyes with the scars. They were ecstatic to get some couple time in before the babies needed to be fed.
Sabrina looking at the monitor "I guess they are hungry" She groaned as she got out of bed. Patrick grabbed her arm and pulled her back in for a kiss.
Patrick: "Come on, I'll help you"
They finished feeding the babies and put them back down and quietly made their way to their bedroom. They barely got the door shut before they started kissing each other again. They were headed to the bed for round two when the Malachi started crying again. They both put their heads down in disappointment that they may not get another chance tonight. Sabrina went back in and Patrick could only smile listening to Sabrina comfort their son. When Sabrina finally made it back to the bedroom Patrick was asleep.
Sabrina: "Hey Patrick, she whispered, I've been thinking maybe it is time to have a little getaway"
Patrick: "That sounds great" with his eyes still closed
Sabrina: "Felix said he would watch the kids. We just need to know when we are going so he is free"
Patrick: "Do you think Felix could actually handle ALL of our kids?"
Sabrina: "No but it would fun for him to find out what it is like to be a parent"
Patrick: "You know what that is an excellent idea"
Sabrina: "Really? I thought you would hate the idea"
Patrick: "Why would I hate it? I get to be with my beautiful wife"
Sabrina smiled as she fell asleep on Patrick's chest.
The next morning she was looking at getaway ideas before work
Patrick: "Hey honey, what are doing?"
Sabrina: "Oh, just looking at getaways. What do you think about this place, it is in the Mountains so it is close but not so close that we feel we are still in Port Charles"
Patrick: "You know what, why don't you let me plan it, you just need to let Felix know his services of babysitter will be requested"
Sabrina smiled and kissed him; she couldn't wait to see what Patrick had planned. Patrick quickly got to work at planning their getaway and planned on telling Sabrina where they were going tonight.
