Robin's been hiding the fact that she did not go to the sperm bank but that Patrick's actually the father of her child… their child. She hasn't told him for several reasons, and if he finds out, she feels he'll only feel obligated to be there for their child together. Patrick's been suspecting that Robin's carrying his child, especially since the day he found out that the condom broke. What happens when Patrick finally asks her if he is the father of her baby?

-1-

Patrick Drake knew he wasn't crazy even though he felt like he was, especially the way he kept on staring at his ex-girlfriend, as well as co-worker.

Even being pregnant, she was beautiful, and he hated how he was feeling right now. It was like something was missing in his life but he didn't know what it was. He pushed the locker room door open and he was so relieved that no one was in here to bother him.

He took step by step, walking side to side, back and forth. He ran his fingers along his temples, feeling exhausted already and he hadn't even done anything. Sure, he had done a couple of surgeries, but nothing too big or huge.

After looking at Robin again when she put the stuffed baby bear Kelly and Regina had got her, he hadn't even been able to approach her because he felt some sort of pain. Not realizing that it was because he was upset that she actually got the procedure done, he leaned against his locker, and he leaned his head back.

He had seen the happiness on her face when she received that stuffed animal from her friends when he had been talking to Johnny Zacchara about his father. He had immediately pulled the young guy away because he didn't want to see this.

What was the matter with him?

He just didn't want children in his life! Right?

He sat down on the bench and stretched his legs out, feeling like he was going to fall at any second.

He just couldn't help but wonder if Robin really got pregnant the day the condom broke or if she had actually got a donor from the sperm bank. So many thoughts ran through his head and he didn't know what to do anymore.

As he knew it, his life was over because Robin just… wasn't in it. He knew he would not be able to handle the fact that Robin was pregnant with another man's baby. In a way, he was relieved that he wasn't becoming a father, as well as disappointed that he wasn't the father of Robin's baby.

He knew that this was what she wanted and all Patrick wanted was for Robin to be happy. Robin being happy meant her becoming a mother and he knew that she was going to be an amazing mother. He had seen her how she had been with Kristina, Spencer, or even baby Jake.

Patrick just had to let go of Robin Scorpio.

Patrick had been looking at her more and more intense, which made her queasy with nervousness. Even she would have to run off because her morning sickness was getting the best of her. She wasn't going to stress about it, anymore. Her ultrasound was later today and she was so excited about finally getting to see her baby for the very first time. Excitement was written all over her face.

Liz had told her repeatedly that she needed to tell Patrick the truth about him being the father but she was trying to protect Patrick from something he would only feel obligated to. This was something he just didn't want in his future.

It was starting to change after he had give her the flowers. It was a nice thought but she wasn't sure what to expect from him. All she could see was that he wanted or needed something. Then again, she had been so paranoid. Even after seeing Patrick give Sam McCall a hug, she thought he was up to his old ways.

Liz had reassured her that Patrick was just being friendly. Ever since she saw Patrick run naked out of the room to get his scrubs that Leyla had thrown away, she just didn't think he was ready. After all, he still hadn't even told her about the condom ripping or that he had Leo run a HIV test. It was like he didn't trust her or something.

What made her so angry was she had to be pregnant the same time as Carly Jacks.

How could this even happen?

Shaking her head, she shut the chart she was looking at, and handed it to one of the nurses to put away with the other charts.

Robin saw Liz and rushed over to her. "Hey Liz, have you seen Patrick?"

"Um, I think he went into the locker room. Are you finally going to get the courage to tell him the truth about this baby, Robin?" Liz asked with hope shining in her eyes.

"I… I don't know, Liz. I just don't know what I am going to do."

Then, she was off to the locker room.

He stood up to his feet and walked around the locker. That's when Patrick saw Robin walk into the locker room with the look of determination on her face. She looked like she needed to talk to him but what could Robin have to say to him?

Patrick's eyes traveled away from her eyes to her stomach. He swore… even through her scrub top, he could see her growing belly with their… No, it wasn't his child that was inside of her, but some strange man that she didn't even know about. All she knew were the essentials were things like what color eyes, hair, blood type, or even his race. Sure, it gave a description of what they did or what they liked to do, but this child wouldn't even know their father.

It still amazed him that Robin could do this to a child. Even after everything he had done and said, she had still went through with the procedure. He watched her walk around him to her locker to change. The only sound that could be heard was of when Robin opened her locker and a few moments of her shutting her locker shut.

He watched her in the corner of his eye, as she went into the bathroom and shower area of the locker room and he heard her turn on one of the faucets being turned on. He couldn't help it, as he watched her splash some water across her face.

Why hadn't he approached her? What the hell was he doing?

It seemed to him that he was in a completely, yet different world from Robin and the rest of General Hospital. He had practically been in here for almost a hour because he couldn't stop thinking about many things but mostly about… Robin's pregnancy.

Was it so wrong that he wanted to know how her procedure had went? Sure, he was a doctor, but he had never witnessed anything like that. Maybe, she could give him an insight of how she had felt before, during, and afterwards.

Yeah right! Robin wouldn't even tell him how it went because it wasn't his business but it just didn't seem to make him any better, either.

"Robin?" Patrick questioned, as he watched her begin to walk away, but he was relieved when she turned around to face him. "Would it be wrong if I could ask you something?"

Robin held her brown coat in her hand, as she looked at him. "I guess. What's on your mind?"

Patrick was so nervous but he didn't know why. "When they did the artificial insemination, Robin, how did you react? I mean, were you scared, nervous, ecstatic?"

Robin held her breath as she heard the question that left his lips. "Um, why do you want to know, Patrick? I mean, you never wanted me to get pregnant in the first place. Remember?"

"It's just one question, Robin," Patrick said, as he was confused to why she was reaction this way. "Is there something that you're not telling me."

"No Patrick, it's--- just none of your business," Robin said, taking a step back to get further away from him.

"Wait!" Patrick said, deciding to be bold. She was really avoiding the question of the artificial insemination and there only had to be one logical answer for that. "Is it mine?"

Robin gulped, as she looked at him. "What did you just ask me?"

"The baby you're carrying, Robin, is it mine?"
