What I Wasn't Looking For

Chapter 1

Patrick Drake was a player, everybody in the town knew it, but for some reason every women in town still want a piece of him.

He had dated nearly every nurse and doctor in the hospital, he was known as no string attached Dr. Drake that is the way that he liked it.

"Dr. Drake."

Patrick turned around and smiled at the young nurse standing in front of him.

"Yes, Nadine. Are you finally going to go on that date with me?' he asked.

She laughed in his face. "I don't think so."

Elizabeth Spencer walked up to Patrick." You never give up do you?"

He smiled at her. "I know that she wants me."

"Not everyone wants to date you, Dr. Drake."

"For someone who is supposed to make people's hearts better, you clearly break enough hearts, are you sure you are in the right field?" Elizabeth with a grin.

Patrick laughed. " You want to be with me. . "If you weren't married to Officer Spencer, I know that you would want me."

"You keep on thinking that," Elizabeth said, as she walked away from him.

Patrick walked into Jake's, and grabbed a seat next to a beautiful woman.

"Now why do you look so sad? You know I can make your trouble go away."

She smiled at him. " You really think you can do that."

He touched her face. "I know that I can. I just want to have some fun. Isn't that what you want?"

She leaned over and kissed Patrick. "Nothing serious,"

"No strings attached, "Patrick said, with a smile, as he grabbed the women's hand.

"My place or yours?" he said, with a grin.

"Yours" she said, smiling at Patrick, as they headed out of the bar.

Patrick looked at the woman with her head on her chest.

She looked at him. "What's your name?" she asked.

He stared at her. "Patrick."

The woman leaned over and kissed him. " Lynn."

He smiled at her. " It's nice to meet you."

She glanced at him. " So what's the name of the girl who hurt you."

"Nobody hurt me, this is who I am. I don't do relationships."

She stood up and started to get dressed. " That's good for me then," she said, as she walked over to the door.

"Thank you for a great night, Patrick," she said, as she closed the door behind him.

Patrick sat on the bed and it just sat there in silence, he was hoping that he wouldn't remember what today was, but it didn't work that way. It was the day that he lost his mother and in a way it was when he lost his father for a very long time. If it wasn't for Bobbie Spencer calling him nearly five years ago to tell him that his father was hurt, he would never have returned to Port Charles and mended fences with his father.

He suddenly remembers the day that he came to Port Charles.

"I wasn't sure if you would come," Bobbie said, as Patrick stood outside his father's hospital room.

" I wasn't sure if I wanted to come, but I know that my mom would want me to do it."

" How's he doing?"

" He's doing as good as expected. He is still in a coma."

Patrick just opened the door and just stood in the doorway and looked at the father.

He walked up to him. " Hi dad, it's me Patrick. You know the son that you never talk to, the one that lost a mother and a father in the same day. Do you know that I never want a child of my own to experience that? That is why I am never going to have a family of my own.

Suddenly Patrick's cell phone rang snapping him out of his thoughts.

He picked it up. " Dr. Drake here."

" Patrick, it's Elizabeth. Your patient has been admitted into the hospital and she is not doing well."

" What patient?" he asked.

" Maxie Jones."

"Mommy…"

Robin smiled at her daughter, Isabella, who was dressed up as a princess.

Isabella looked exactly like her father, she tried to be strong for her daughter, but every day she thinks about her husband and how he could just watch up one day and leave her and their family.

It has been nearly six months since that night when she come home from the hospital where she was working and she found a note from him telling her that he was leaving her.

"I want to show Daddy something….. I made this picture," Isabella said.

Robin grabbed the picture and smiled slightly when she saw what her daughter had drew.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Robin walked to the door and opened it and it was her best friend, Jessica. They went to school together and ended up at the same city and same hospital.

"Aunt Jess," Isabella said, as she run towards her.

Jessica picked up the three year old and hugged her.

"Are you being good for mommy."

"I want to see daddy."

Jessica glanced at Robin and sighed.

"I know you do, but remember what I said, daddy is away for a while.

Robin sighed, she knew that her friend was trying to help, but she didn't want her daughter to have false hopes.

Suddenly Robin's phone rang, she picked it up. " Mac, what's wrong?" she asked, hearing the sadness in her uncle's voice.

" It's Maxie. It's her heart, it's really bad, Robin."

" I'm on my way. I'll be there as soon as I can." Robin said, as she hung up the phone.

Jessica looked at Robin. " Is everything ok with your family?"

Robin shakes her head. "Maxie is not doing well. I need to go to Port Charles, do you think you could take care of Isabella for a few days."

Jessica nodded. "Of course I can. What do you think of a sleepover at my castle, Princess Isabella?"

"Yay," the little girl said, with this smile on her face.

Robin walked over to Jessica and leaned over and kissed her daughter's forehead. "Mommy loves you. I'll be back before you even know I'm gone," Robin said, as she went to go and pack her stuff.
