Chapter 2

Felix couldn't believe that he was telling Sabrina all of this over the phone, especially since he didn't know if anyone was with her. He was kicking himself for just going right into the story. He really needed to learn how to keep his mouth shut! He was going to have to text her cousin Juan right after he hung up with her.

Felix took a breath before answering Sabrina's question. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you."

"Felix! Why didn't anyone tell me that all of this was going on? What happened?"

"Well Dr. Drake did the surgery, but a vessel burst and Rafe is brain dead."

"Brain dead? Did anyone talk to Rafe before surgery? Does anyone know what happened that night?"

"I don't know all the details. I think Dr. Drake spoke with Rafe, but I don't know what was said. Bri?"

"Yeah, Felix?"

"There's one more thing, there was just a big press conference held at GH and one of the reporters asked about the obvious conflict of interest and if Dr. Drake did it on purpose. From what I've heard, Dr. Drake told Sam that he had seriously thought about it during surgery, but that he didn't do it. He didn't knick the vessel; it burst on its own. But I just heard that our lovely chief of staff, Dr. Obrecht, fired Dr. Drake because he admitted that he thought about getting justice for Gabriel."

"Oh Fe… Poor Patrick. I can't believe he has been doing so much to try to get justice for our son, while I've been sitting here on the beach. I have to get home to Port Charles and see Patrick."

"Bri, you did exactly what you needed to do and what Dr. Drake wanted you to do. There is no need to feel guilty for taking care of you. Bri?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, but I'll be better when I get home."

Meanwhile, in Port Charles

Patrick Drake had just left General Hospital, after Dr. Obrecht fired him. He was still in shock; he couldn't believe she fired him. Had he considered ending Rafe's life to get justice for his son and Sabrina? Of course, but that was only natural. He would be more worried about himself if hadn't thought that. But he knew that he didn't do anything wrong, as a doctor he could never do something like that.

Even though Patrick knew what happened, he was still worried. He knew that he needed to keep his job, Emma had been through enough and he wasn't about to uproot her from the only home she had ever known so he could find work elsewhere. He knew that Epiphany had been with him in the OR and was hoping that she would be able to verify what really happened and that Dr. Obrecht would let him back to work.

He was so frustrated with the entire thing. Deep down, he knew that by not saving that kid's life he was never going to know the truth by behind what happened that night and that he had failed Sabrina…. again.

As much as he wanted to get answers for himself and justice for Gabriel, he thought that if he was able to provide Sabrina with some closure by getting some questions answered for her, that it might help her grieve and get better. He had been so worried about her the day Felix showed up at his house saying that she didn't seem right. He didn't know what to do when he got to her apartment to find her in her wedding dress. Patrick knew he hurt her when he chose Robin, at the time he believed he was going back to his soul mate. Now, with everything that happened after Robin returned, it was decision he regretted. Sometimes, he couldn't help but think how things would be if he had chosen Sabrina.

When Sabrina told him at the funeral that she was going to go to Puerto Rico for a while, he felt his heart sink to his stomach. She was the only one who really knew what he was going through. He also knew that he had to let her go. He meant it though, when he told her that he and Emma were his family and not to stay away for too long.

Patrick pulled into the driveway and got out of the car that replaced the one that had been totaled that night and went to check the mail. As he walked up the driveway, he flipped through, bills, magazines, and junk mail and found what he was really looking for; the divorce papers Alexis had drawn up for him. He couldn't believe that he was actually going to go through with divorcing Robin after he just got her back. But things just weren't the same when she came back and then she chose Jason over her family. Patrick knew she wasn't the same Robin he fell in love with when she refused to come home when he begged her to after Gabriel was born so early.

Patrick opened the door to see the best part of life kneeling on the floor at the coffee table coloring. As soon as the door opened, Emma looked up and ran over to her him. He put the mail down on the desk to scope her up in his arms.

"Daddy!"

"Hi Sweetheart!" Patrick said pulling his daughter tight and kissing the top of her head. "Did you have a good day today at camp?"

"I had so much fun! We had camp wars!" Emma said excitedly.

"Camp wars? Sounds exciting, you'll have to tell me all about it tonight at dinner."

"Sounds good!" Emma said getting down from her father's arms and going back over to the coffee table where she had been coloring with her new babysitter, Megan.

"Hi Megan. Thanks for picking up Emma from camp today. How'd everything go?"

"Everything was fine, Emma and I had a great time, right?"

"Right," Emma said nodding her head.

"Great. There have been some last minute schedule changes at the hospital and I'll be able to pick Emma up for the rest of the week. I know its last minute, so here's a little extra to make up for it." Patrick said, taking out his wallet to pay Megan.

"Thanks Dr. Drake. Just let me know when you need me again," Megan said working towards the door.

"You know I will, thanks again," Patrick said closing the door behind her and turning to face his daughter. "All right, Emma, what should we do for dinner?"

"Kelly's" Emma said without hesitation.

"All right then, go get your shoes on and let's go." Patrick said going back to the desk.

While Emma ran upstairs to get her shoes, Patrick opened the envelope and saw the papers from Alexis. He still wasn't sure that this is what he really wanted. As he heard Emma coming downstairs, he quickly put the papers in the drawer.

"Ready?"

"Ready," Emma said as they headed off to dinner.
