Characters: Robin and Patrick
Summery: Robin and Patrick find out she is pregnant. Starts from when she faints at the nurse's hub.
"Who's fault is that?" Robin said before getting dizzy and falling to the floor.
"Robin, hey." Patrick said running around the nurse's hub and moving down to her level. "Robin are you ok?"
"I just got dizzy." Robin said.
"Nadine get me an exam room." Patrick said.
"No, I am fine." Robin protested.
"This is the second time after Nikolas pushed you and you hit the table. What if this happens with a patient?"
"Fine." Robin said.
Patrick helped Robin up but she still felt dizzy. Patrick picked her up much to her protest and carried her to the exam room. Setting her on the table she laid back hoping the world would stop spinning.
"Ok, draw some blood, I want to know her t-cell count now." Patrick said to Nadine.
"Any others." Nadine asked.
"Just the normal set." Patrick said.
Nadine drew her blood and walked it to the lab herself.
Patrick walked over to Robin. He took her pulse and looked at her head.
"How do you feel?" Patrick asked.
"Fine, now that the room isn't spinning." Robin said.
"Ok, I need to know if you feel any pain anywhere?" Patrick asked.
"No." Robin said. "I just felt dizzy."
"Ok." Patrick said. "Let's try sitting up."
Slowly Robin sat up and felt ok for a few minutes but then she felt sick.
"Oh god." She said running to the bathroom.
Patrick walked in after he heard the torlet flush. Walking over he got a rag wet and walked over to help her. Sitting down she leaned back against him.
"Go what is wrong with me?" Robin said.
"We'll figure it out." Patrick said kissing the top of her head.
"What if it is my HIV?" Robin asked.
"What if it is a brain bleed?" Patrick countered.
"You would love to cut my head open and see what makes me tick." Robin said.
"Ha, ha funny, funny." Patrick said. "But it would give me a chance to learn all your deep dark secrets."
"I have known." Robin said.
"Dr. Drake." Nadine said coming in. "Her first batch of tests are back."
"Ok." Patrick said.
She walked over and handed them to him.
"Can I help?" Nadine asked.
"Will you get Robin some ice water?" Patrick asked.
"Sure." Nadine said leaving.
Patrick looked over the test and all looked good.
"So?" Robin asked.
"So far all are normal." Patrick said moving to folder so she could see.
Flipping the page they looked down it and froze when at the bottom it clearly said pregnant.
"What does that say?" Robin said.
"It says you are pregnant." Patrick said.
"How?" Robin asked.
"You had the AI." Patrick said.
"No, I haven't set anything up for it." Robin said. "I was going to talk to Kelly today."
"You haven't done the AI?" Patrick asked.
"No, I haven't." Robin said. "Patrick this can't be right."
Nadine walked in with some water.
"Have them run these test again." Patrick said. "Right away."
"Right away." Nadine said before leaving.
"Come on let's get you to the exam table." Patrick said helping her up.
Once she was sitting she sipped some water while in shock.
"The lab wont have those test for at least an hour." Nadine said coming in.
"Ok, get me a ultrasound machine." Patrick said.
"Ok." Nadine said leaving.
"What are you doing?" Robin asked.
"We are going to get the results another way." Patrick said.
Nadine came back rolling the ultra sound machine with her. She sat it up and left to answer a page.
Patrick helped Robin to lay back and lifted her shirt. Spreading the gel over her skin her turned the machine on and ran the wand over her belly. Moving it around it looked normal, but then it came into view.
"What is it?" Robin asked when Patrick stopped moving the wand.
"A baby." Patrick said moving the screen so she could see it.
"How?" Robin asked looking in amazement and shock at the screen.
Patrick moved the screen back and examined it.
"I would say you aren't to fall along." Patrick said. "Kelly could give you a better answer."
"How far along do I look?" Robin asked.
"My best guess is four weeks or less." Patrick said. "Have you had unprotected sex in the last month or so?"
"No." Robin said. "I wouldn't be careless and to be honest I have only slept with you since we met. And we are protected."
"Yes, we are." Patrick said. "But the last time the condom broke."
"What?" Robin said sitting up really fast and getting dizzy again.
"Wow, calm down." Patrick said.
Robin laid back and closed her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Robin asked.
"I didn't want you to worry." Patrick said. "I know that you would never forgive yourself if something happened to me. I was tested and it came back clean. Robin I honestly didn't want you to worry about me."
"Ok." Robin said. "But you had to know that this could happen."
"I didn't think about it." Patrick said. "It never crossed my mind."
"I didn't plan this." Robin said.
"What?" Patrick said.
"That night, I didn't come over to your place hoping you would get me pregnant." Robin said. "I thought we were safe."
"I didn't know until afterwards." Patrick said. "Robin please believe me."
"I do." Robin said moving to sit up slowly. "But the question now is what happens next?"
"We'll figure it out." Patrick said.
"You said you didn't want kids." Robin said.
"I know, but I wont walked away from you or from a kid." Patrick said. "To be honest fatherhood scars the crap out of me but I wont run from this."
"Thank you." Robin said. "I don't know what is to come but if your there with me I know I can face it."
Patrick pulled Robin to him and held her close. Robin let herself relax into his body.
"I think I should go home for the rest of the night." Robin said. "I need to think."
"Let me come with you." Patrick said.
"Ok." Robin said not really wanting to be alone.
Patrick took her hand and led her out of the exam room. Walking to the nurse's station they checked out. Grabbing there things they walked to the elevator and got ready to leave. Robin's friends looked on with concern, wanting to step up and ask, but wanted Robin to be with Patrick. Other looked over with mixed emotions and so on. Boarding the elevator they were off.
"I wonder what is wrong with Robin?" Lainey asked.
"Me too." Kelly said.
"Is Dr. Scorpio ok?" Regina asked coming over.
"I know what is going on." Nadine said setting down her medical folder.
"Is Robin sick?" Lainey asked.
"No, her test came back good." Nadine said.
"Has anyone seen Dr. Drake?" Leyla asked coming up to the hub.
"He left with Robin." Kelly said.
"For what reason?" Leyla asked.
"Look, Robin got dizzy after Nikolas pushed her to the ground. She got dizzy again and Dr. Drake ran a battery of test. He had them rerun after looking them over. He then did an Ultra sound and well look inside." Nadine said.
Kelly opened the folder and they looked over the ultra sound pictures.
"She's pregnant." Kelly said looking them over. "See, the baby is right here."
"Awe, Robin's going to be a mommy." Lainey said.
"What? "Elizabeth asked being wheeled by.
"Robin's pregnant." Kelly said.
"How far along?" Elizabeth asked.
"I would say four week give and take." Kelly said.
"That was Christmas Eve." Regina said.
"Who's that daddy?" Kelly asked.
"Robin spent Christmas Eve after Georgie's funeral with Patrick." Elizabeth said. "Patrick is the father of Robin's baby."
"That's why they left together." Lainey said.
"Well, looks like life is changing again." Kelly said.
Leyla stormed off upset and in tears, but no one noticed.
"We have to throw her a Congratulations Party." Lainey said. "So she knows we are there for her."
"Ok." Elizabeth said. "Robin will need us, I just hope Patrick said there."
"He will be." Nadine said. "He knows and he wants to be there with her."
"Well this life out of death." Lainey said.
"They stood talking about what to do for Robin and Patrick to know that they weren't alone.
The End
