Title: Another Chance at Love?

Summary:

Patrick lost his wife in a horrible accident. Sabrina has never been real lucky in the romance department. Can Patrick move on from his grief and find love again and will Sabrina be that special someone to help him with that?

Chapter 1

(Patrick is getting ready for work. He has an 8:30am shift and Emma has school at 8am. He fixed her some scrambled eggs, chocolate chip waffles, and some juice for breakfast. Emma is all dressed in a pretty pink sundress and her hair is up in a ponytail. Patrick is in the living room watching the news when Emma turns around in her chair to look at her dad. She studies him for a few minutes and she can tell her dad is sad. Patrick sits down and nervously flips through the channels until he eventually goes back to the channel he had on in the first place. Emma gets up off her chair and walks to her daddy. She puts her hand on his shoulder. Patrick notices Emma and asks her if everything is okay)

Emma: (nods) "I'm okay. Are you okay, daddy?"

Patrick: (smiles a little) "Yeah, I'm fine."

Emma: "You look sad."

(Patrick studies Emma before chuckling softly)

Patrick: "I do, huh?"

Emma: (nods) "Is mommy ever coming back?"

(Patrick deeply sighs and holds Emma close before answering her question)

Patrick: (shakes his head) "No, honey, mommy is not coming back."

Emma: (confused) "Why not?" (sadly) "Doesn't she love us anymore?"

(Patrick can tell Emma is confused by what happened to Robin and that she's heartbroken that she might be the reason why Robin is not with them. He pats his lap and gently puts Emma on his thigh, still holding her. He sighs as he tries to think of the best way to explain to his five year old daughter what happened to her mommy)

Patrick: "Re-Remember how mommy was still at work at the hospital; and you and I were here at home waiting for her?"

Emma: (nods) "Yes, I remember."

Patrick: (nods) "Okay. Well, mommy-mommy was just getting off of work and I thought I'd surprise her with having supper all done."

Emma: (nods) "I remember. I was making her a picture of the three of us…you, me, and mommy."

Patrick: (smiles) "That's right. Mommy loves it when you draw her pictures, especially of the three of us."

Emma: (giggles) "That's why I drew it because I knew she'd like it."

Patrick: (smiles) "You do know that she loves all of your drawings, right?"

Emma: (smiles happily) "Yes, I know."

Patrick: (sighs deeply) "Well, after she got done with work, she knew that you and I would be waiting for her and you also know seeing you puts the biggest smile on her face." (smiling)

Emma: (giggles) "She loves seeing you as well, daddy."

Patrick: (chuckles) "That's true. But, um, on the way home, a drunk driver approached her. You remember what mommy and I have always said about drunk drivers, right?"

Emma: (nods) "Yes. When people drink, they shouldn't drive because they can hit someone and cause an accident."

Patrick: (smiles) "Very good, honey. I'm glad you remembered."

Emma: "Of course I remember. You and mommy always say what you tell me is important in case something ever happens."

Patrick: (nods) "That's right. Mommy and daddy don't expect you to remember everything being you're so young."

Emma: (smiles) "I do remember everything, daddy."

Patrick: (tilts his head, smiling) "Oh you do, huh?"

Emma: (nods proudly) "Yes. Never open the door if you don't know who it is. If someone does knock and I don't know who it is after asking their name, get you, mommy, or whoever is babysitting me and they would check the door."

Patrick: (nods & smiles) "Very good."

Emma: "Never take candy or anything else from strangers and if someone comes up to me and I don't know them, run to whoever is watching me or to you and mommy."

Patrick: (smiles) "I'm proud of you, honey."

Emma: (smiles) "I know there are other things you told me, but you've always said those are the most important things to remember."

Patrick: (nods) "You are correct. Also, when we go for walks, make sure you always look both ways before crossing the road."

Emma: (giggles) "I knew that one, too. Mommy told me that one."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "She did, huh?"

Emma: (nods) "Yep!"

Patrick: "Well…" (clears his throat) "…when the drunk driver came toward your mom, she tried to go on the side of the road to avoid the driver. But…" (sniffles) "…when someone has too much to drink, it's hard to drive safely on the road. So, even though mommy tried to stay out of the driver's way, they ended up going into her lane and they hit her."

(Patrick takes a little pause to wipe the tears off of his cheeks. Emma looks at her daddy sadly and can tell he's sad from talking about what happened. Patrick clears his throat and continues with the story)

Patrick: "The ambulance came to take mommy to the hospital to try making her better. The doctor's worked on her as best they could, but…but she was hurt too much."

Emma: (sadly) "So, mommy didn't make it?"

(Patrick shakes his head sadly and sniffles)

Patrick: "No, baby, mommy didn't make it. The doctor's did everything they could, but it wasn't enough."

Emma: (puzzled) "Where is mommy now?"

Patrick: "Mommy is in heaven….watching over you and smiling because she loves you so much."

Emma: (sadly) "Will she ever come back to visit us from heaven?"

Patrick: (shakes his head sadly) "No, sweetheart. Mommy will be in heaven until we see her there, but that won't be for a very long time because she'd want us to grow and live for a long time."

Emma: (sadly) "I miss mommy."

Patrick: (nods sadly) "So do I, baby. But you know what?"

Emma: "What?"

Patrick: "Mommy wouldn't want us sad. She's want us to be happy. I know it's hard right now, but we'll get there. If you ever want to talk about mommy, I hope you will. I loved your mommy very much and I know she loved you very much."

Emma: "I know she loved us, too, daddy."

Patrick: (smiles) "That she did." (looks at the kitchen table, then back at Emma) "Why don't you finish your breakfast and then we'll get ready and I'll take you to school, okay?"

Emma: (nods) "Okay, daddy."

(Patrick gently puts Emma back on the floor so she can finish her breakfast. Patrick finishes watching the news before getting everything ready to take Emma to school and then finishes getting ready for work. Meanwhile, at General Hospital, Sabrina comes out of the elevator and goes to the Nurse's Station. She's in gray Capri's and a pink shirt with a flower on it. She has her hair up in a ponytail with red glasses on. She has white tennis shoes on. Sabrina sees a few nurses at the Nurse's Station. She looks around nervously and slides up her purse strap so it stays on her shoulders)

Sabrina: (nervously) "Um…Ex-Excuse me?"

(The nurses look at Sabrina weirdly before Epiphany walks up to her from the other end of the Nurse's Station)

Epiphany: "Can I help you?"

Sabrina: (nervously) "Um…Y-Yes. I…"

Epiphany: (sighs frustratedly) "Spit it out. I can't understand you. Talk slower."

Sabrina: (chuckles nervously) "Sorry. W-What I was trying to say is this is my first day and I didn't know where to go to clock in. I wasn't sure if I would have orientation or not."

Epiphany: (nods) "Yes, all new staff goes through orientation. Have you been to this hospital before or is it your first time?"

Sabrina: (nervously) "Uh…um…It's my first time here."

Epiphany: "Okay. I will give you the grand tour and then I will have one of my nurses, Elizabeth Webber, train you being she's the trainer for all new nurses."

Sabrina: (nods quickly) "Okay. No problem."

Epiphany: "And don't be so nervous. Elizabeth will train you well. She's the best nurse we have, so that's why she trains all new nurses. She'll show you the ropes and teach you all that there needs to know about the job."

Sabrina: (smiles briefly) "She sounds very smart."

Epiphany: (nods) "She is. She's been on my staff for over five years and knows her stuff so that's why she's my trainer for all new nursing staff."

(Epiphany can tell from Sabrina's facial expressions that she's worried how Elizabeth is around others)

Epiphany: (shakes her head) "And don't worry about Elizabeth. She's one of the nicest gals here. She's friendly with everyone."

Sabrina: (smiles) "Sounds like I won't have anything to worry about."

Epiphany: (shakes her head) "No, you won't." (seriously) "As long as you know everything that you've been trained on and don't mess up, you'll be fine."

Sabrina: (shakes her head nervously) "Oh, you won't need to worry about me. I know everything inside and out. My mom was a nurse as well, so I learned all I know from her…as well as from my studies."

Epiphany: "You better. I keep an eye on all my nurses to make sure they don't get into mischief. If you do get into any, I'll know about it. Just because I'm not around doesn't mean I don't have ears. Understand?"

Sabrina: (nods) "Yes, ma'am."

Epiphany: (nods) "Okay, not that we've got that covered, let's take a tour of the hospital so you get better acquainted."

Sabrina: (nods & smiles) "Sounds good."

(Epiphany gives Sabrina the hospital tour and then they go back to the Nurse's Station where Epiphany sees Elizabeth and she goes to her with Sabrina following her)

Epiphany: "Elizabeth?"

(Elizabeth turns around to face Epiphany and smiles)

Liz: "Hi, Epiphany. What can I do for you?"

(Epiphany points to Sabrina)

Epiphany: "This is Sabrina. Sabrina…"

(Epiphany looks at Sabrina with a confused look on her face)

Epiphany: "What's your last name again?"

Sabrina: "Oh, uh, Santiago."

Epiphany: (nods) "Right."

(Epiphany looks at Elizabeth while pointing at Sabrina)

Epiphany: "This is Sabrina Santiago. She's a new nurse who just started today."

Liz: (smiles) "Oh! Welcome!"

Sabrina: (smiles nervously) "Thank you."

Epiphany: Okay, I gave Sabrina the tour of the hospital, or where she'll mostly be, that is. I figured I'd let you do the rest because you're so good at it."

Liz: (chuckles softly) "Thanks, Epiphany. I'll take care of her."

Epiphany: (smirks) "I know you will."

(Elizabeth laughs in repliance and then looks at Sabrina)

Liz: (smiles) "Okay, I'll show you around and show you where everything is. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. That's what I'm here for."

Sabrina: (smiles) "Okay. Thanks for being so nice and patient with me. I promise I'll learn everything quickly."

Liz: (shakes her head) "You don't need to learn everything quickly. Every new nurse learns at their own pace. We'll go as fast or slow as you want."

Sabrina: "I grew up with my mom and she was a nurse so she taught me everything I know." (chuckles softly) "Of course, I also learned from all the text books and classes I took in nursing school."

Liz: (smiles & chuckles) "Sounds like you'll learn everything in no time! And don't worry about Epiphany. She may seem really tough, but on the inside, she's a softie. You'll love her."

Sabrina: (smiles) "I'm sure I will."

Liz: (smiles) "Okay, are you ready to get started?"

Sabrina: (smiles & nods) "Yes."

Liz: (smiles & nods) "Okay. We'll start with the areas you might have to go to in case Epiphany, myself, or others like Dr. Drake need you."

Sabrina: (puzzled) "Dr. Drake?"

Liz: "Oh, he's one of the main doctor's in this hospital. He's really nice, as well."

Sabrina: (briefly smiles & nods) "Cool. Has he worked here long?"

Liz: "He's been here at little longer than me. You might see his daughter here sometimes."

(Sabrina can't help but smile that the doctor has a little girl)

Sabrina: "Oh, he's got a little girl?"

Liz: (smiles) "Yep. She's very pretty and five years old."

Sabrina: (smiles) "Oh, she sounds adorable. What's her name?"

Liz: "Emma. Emma Drake. Dr. Drake's first name is Patrick."

(Sabrina nods and smiles as she says his name out loud)

Sabrina: "Patrick Drake. I like it." (giggles)

Liz: (chuckles) "You as well as everyone else. Everyone adores him around here."

Sabrina: (tilts her head & smiles) "Even you?"

Liz: (shakes her head) "Only as a friend. He's one of those doctors who takes the extra time to get to know his patients a little to make them feel like he cares."

Sabrina: "I love those kinds of doctors, you know, the ones who go the extra mile."

Liz: "Patrick does that."

Sabrina: "My mom was the same way. She taught me the same thing."

Liz: (smiles) "Your mother sounds lovely."

Sabrina: (nods) "She was the best."

(Elizabeth smiles before asking Sabrina if she's ready to begin. Sabrina says yes and Elizabeth proceeds to show her around and show Sabrina everywhere she'll be and where everything will be, like the supply closet and everything else the nurse needs to know. They go in the elevator to get through all the floors. After completely the tour and showing the new nurse everything, they come out of the elevator. As Elizabeth and Sabrina are talking, they head towards the Nurse's Station, but they're not paying attention to where they're going. Sabrina accidentally bumps into someone. She runs into them so hard that she loses her balance and falls down, her glasses slipping off her face and lands next to her. Sabrina looks at the person apologically)

Sabrina: "Oh, my god! I'm-I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you!"

Man: (chuckles softly) "It's okay. Don't worry about it."

(The man bends down to pick up Sabrina's red glasses and helps her up)

Man: "Are you okay?"

(The man gives Sabrina her glasses, which she puts on so she can see better who the person is standing before her)

Sabrina: (chuckles softly) "I-I'm fine. Thank-Thank you."

(The man chuckles softly)

Man: "No problem. I don't believe we've met."

(The man offers Sabrina his hand)

Patrick: "I'm Patrick Drake. Well, Dr. Drake, I guess I should say."

(Sabrina nervously offers her hand as well and they shake hands)

Patrick: "And you are?"

Sabrina: "Sabrina. Sabrina Santiago."

Patrick: (nods & smiles) "Nice to meet you."

Sabrina: (smiles) "Nice to meet you as well, Pat…I mean…Dr. Drake."

(Patrick smiles at Sabrina, who nervously smiles back)

Patrick: "Welcome to General Hospital."

(Sabrina tries to cover the blush that appeared on her face with her hand, but it's too late. Patrick smiles at her. Patrick looks at Elizabeth and smiles a little)

Patrick: "I'm guessing Epiphany hired a new nurse?"

Liz: (nods) "Yeah, we were short one, and Sabrina graciously applied and of course, she was hired."

Patrick: (to Sabrina) "Well, we're lucky and happy to have you here."

Sabrina: (nods & smiles a little) "Thank you."

Patrick: (smiles & nods) "No problem. Well, I better go on my rounds. See you two later."

Liz: (nods) "Bye, Dr. Drake."

(Patrick leaves. Sabrina watches him walk down the hallway in fascination)

Liz: "There. Now you've met Dr. Drake."

(Sabrina shakes a little in response before looking back at Elizabeth)

Sabrina: (nervously) "Y-Yeah. You were right. He's nice."

Liz: (nods) "Told ya." (chuckles) "Alright. Let's do more training."

Sabrina: (nods) "Okay."

(Before Sabrina joins Elizabeth, she looks toward the direction Patrick was walking and smiles)

Sabrina: (blushes) "Can't wait."

(Sabrina then looks at Elizabeth and follows her)
