A/N: I stopped watching the show in 1999 when Robin and Jason broke up so please bear with me if I don't get everything exactly right. Please Read and Review. This takes place in 1999.
Robin was shocked she was pregnant. How did this happen? Alan set her up to see Dr. Meadows and they talked about having a HIV+ pregnancy as they left her office talking about the pregnancy, Carly listened in shock. The Saint was pregnant. Carly had just gotten Jason to agree to move in with her and Michael and now this. What was she going to do? She would lose Jason if he learned that Robin was pregnant.
Robin and Jason had been careful, more than careful, yet here she was pregnant. She didn't know what to do she had decided to leave Jason, and now this. It wasn't a good time for this to happen. She had always wanted to be a mother and now she would have her chance. Jason was distancing himself from her this couldn't have happened at a worse time, she was six weeks pregnant. She didn't see Carly watching her as she left the hospital.
***Later that day on the docks***
Robin was walking, thinking about what she should do and how to tell Jason when Carly came up to her and asked her. "How does it feel to know that the man you love will be living with me and Michael, his family?"
"Carly, get out of my face. Jason and I will be talking about that soon enough so don't hold your breath." Robin said tired of taking crap from Carly. She wasn't going to take anymore crap from her.
"Oh because your pregnant?" Carly smirked she was satisfied with the shocked look on Robin's face. "Jason told me." Carly lies knowing Jason had no idea. "And he still wants to move in with me and Michael instead of staying with you and your brat."
Robin was shocked about what Carly said about Jason knowing that she was pregnant and moving in with Carly anyway. She couldn't believe it; Jason knew and had chosen to move in with Carly anyway. He never said anything about her being pregnant or how she had been throwing up and tired she thought he hadn't noticed, but how else would Carly know.
"So how does it feel Robin to lose the man you love to me and Michael? Don't worry I will take real good care of him. After all he needs a real woman not a weak little girl with HIV. Jason loves his son Michael more than he will ever love your brat."
Robin was pissed off now at Jason and Carly and she has had enough. She was tired of taking crap from Carly and Jason knew she was pregnant and was still moving in with Carly, enough was enough. "Wait and see Carly." Robin said as she left, she walked back to her car and she got in and started crying, she can't believe Jason knew she was pregnant and didn't say anything and still decided to move in with Carly.
She had a child to think about now and she was going to do what was right, what she should have done when she first learned the truth so she headed over to the Quartermaine mansion. Reginald opened the door for Robin who asked to speak to AJ.
Robin told AJ that Michael was his son and not Jason's and apologizes for not telling him sooner and then she left a shocked AJ alone. AJ knew it was loyalty to Jason why she did it although he was angry at her for not telling him the truth before now. He does understand why she didn't.
***Later that day***
She went to the penthouse to tell Jason she told AJ the truth about Michael, "Before you say anything I told AJ the truth about Michael."
"You did what? How could you Robin? That is the one thing I asked you not to do. How could you do this to me, to us? How could you betray me?" Jason angrily demanded.
"I did it for all of us. We need Carly out of our lives. I know you are angry but I did the right thing finally. I did it for all of us. I can explain why I did it." Robin puts her hands on her stomach where their child was growing in her. Jason missed this because he turned his back on her.
Jason can't believe Robin would betray him like this, he needs to tell Carly and leaves the Penthouse after Sonny comes in and is told what Robin did.
Later that night on the bridge Robin is there when Jason comes up to the bridge. "I just came here to say goodbye. So much happened in this place. I just had to see it one last time before I let it go. Do you remember that night-
"I remember everything, Robin. That was my life—what I learned from Sonny, and loving you. Til Michael." Jason said
"I didn't do it to take Michael away from you. You know that. You know me." Robin tells Jason
"It's just after the accident. When I woke up, you were the first person I ever saw. But I didn't know you. And I don't now. I came to say goodbye, too. You taught me that, just like you taught me to love. You gave me everything good I have inside. And now I have it to give to Michael. I will always owe you for that." Jason tells Robin
"You gave me a lot, too." Robin said
"And I never wanted you to go before. But I do now. It'll be much easier when you're in Paris and it'll be a lot easier if I never see your face again." Jason told a shocked Robin.
Robin leaves the bridge with tears running down her cheeks.
Jason was so angry that she told AJ the truth, not knowing she was pregnant.
"I can't believe you just said that to me after everything that we have between us." She thinks of their child, she paused and then told him. "You'll get your wish I am leaving for Paris in the morning, we are done Jason. You just washed your hands of everything that we created between us and I can't believe you would do that." Robin cries with tears running down her cheeks which he sees since he had turned back around to look at her but he is unmoved because he is so angry.
Robin drives to Mac's house and tells him what was going on and that she was going back to Paris and that she's pregnant and that she and her baby would get through this without Jason. She wants nothing to do with him or Sonny. Sonny had sided with Jason and turned his back on Robin. Robin cries falling into Mac's arms. "How could Jason say he never wanted to see my face again when he knows I'm pregnant with his child? How could he move in with Carly and Michael knowing I'm pregnant?" Mac has no answers.
The next morning Mac and Felicia take Robin to the airport to see her off and she left for Paris telling her family she would keep in touch. Only Mac and Alan knew she's pregnant and Alan couldn't tell anyone he was bound by patient doctor confidentiality so he can't say anything to anyone.
It would be months before anyone else would find out. A tragedy would bring a very pregnant Robin back to Port Charles.
Let me know what you think in a review!
