CHAPTER 2
Kelly's Diner
Elizabeth: "So, what is with this tea gig? You love your coffee?" She teases.
Sabrina: "I do, and in 9 months from now I can have it again," she winks...hoping her friend can pick up on what she was telling her!
Elizabeth: "9 months? Why 9 months?" She asks confused...and thinks for a second..."Wait? 9..."
Sabrina shakes her head.
Elizabeth: "9 months?! You're pregnant?!" She screams with excitement!
Sabrina: "Shhhhh," she waves her hand to calm her friend down..."Shhhh! Yes, I am," she beams..."But it's not public knowledge yet, so keep your voice down!" She laughs.
Elizabeth: "Sorry, does Patrick know?" She smiles.
Sabrina: "Actually, he does." She beams again. He walked in on my appointment with Britt earlier...that's why I was so bitchy before, I was waiting to get confirmation and my hormones have been out of whack," she laughs!
Elizabeth: "Yea, those hormones can be a bitch," She laughs. "What did Patrick say? He must have been shocked?"
Sabrina: "He was...but he was happy!" She smiles.
Elizabeth: "What happens now?" She asks concerned for her two best friends.
Sabrina: "Well, honestly, and this is between you and me, this can't go any further than this table."
Elizabeth: "Promise."
Sabrina: "He's going to talk to Robin as we speak. He wants to get back together. He said he's missed us and that they haven't been the same."
Elizabeth: " I have seen it, actually. He does miss you because I can see it in his eyes. I should have been a better friend to you and I am truly truly sorry for not coming to you after the fiasco at your wedding. To be honest, I was in shock for days after."
Sabrina: "You and me both," she laughs. "It's okay. I understand. It was a blow for all of us and it was no ones fault. We were this close to being husband and wife,"she gets a little teary."
Elizabeth: "I know. One word away, but Emma has those sneaky eyes," she laughs.
Sabrina: "I know, and I can't blame her either. If it was me and I saw my mom who I thought had been dead for two years, I would have said her name like that too. She was only acting on instinct when she saw Robin."
Elizabeth: "Well, I am so happy for you! You deserve to be happy! This baby is so lucky to have you and Patrick as their parents."
Sabrina: "Thanks!" She smiles. "I think so too.I wonder how it's going over at the house," she says concerned.
Elizabeth: "I can only imagine. Robin isn't going to give up without a fight."
Sabrina: "That's what I'm afraid of!"
Drake Residence
Robin: "Patrick, there you are! You were supposed to be home an hour ago. We had a lunch date remember?"
Patrick is daydreaming about the baby.
Robin: "Hello,earth to my husband," she laughs.
Patrick: "Oh, hey."
Robin: "Where were you just now?"
Patrick: "Thinking."
Robin: "About?"
Patrick: "Robin, we need to talk."
Robin: "Okay, this sounds serious," she says sitting down next to Patrick on the couch.
Patrick: "It is." He takes a deep breath.
Robin: "Patrick, you can tell me anything, you know that." She touches his knee and he sort of pulls away, startling her.
Patrick: "Robin, there is no easy way to say this, so it's just easier to show you," he says reaching in his pocket for the sonogram picture.
Robin: "Show me? Patrick, you're freaking me out."
Patrick: "Here," he says handing her the photo.
Robin: "What is this?" She says confused as to why she was looking at a sonogram photo.
Patrick: "Sabrina is pregnant.I just found out a little while ago. I was supposed to meet a patient and went into the wrong room, and well..."
Robin is speechless
Patrick: "Robin, say something?"
Robin: "Pregnant?" PREGNANT?" How? When, I mean, I...she is stunned beyond words.
Patrick: "I know, I was just as surprised as you."
Robin: "She's got to be lying? I mean...this is not possible."
Patrick: "Robin, Sabrina is not lying...I saw the baby myself. And besides she would never lie to me about this. It's what we have always wanted." He says without thinking.
Robin: "Oh, I see," She says hurt by what he said. "So, this is what you wanted to tell me. You're leaving me for her?" She cries.
Patrick: "Robin, you know I love you."
Robin: "Just not enough," she says in tears.
Patrick: "We both had to see this coming, right? I mean, it hasn't been like before. We both changed.
Robin: "So I see," she says a little stronger. "So, you're telling me the whole time we were back together, you were just putting on an act, and saying what I wanted to hear?" She says angrily now, fighting back tears.
Patrick: "God, No! Not at first!" He finally admits. In the beginning, I meant everything I said and did. Robin, I was so shocked when I saw you in that church and everything that had happened while you were gone had just spiraled out of control and I didn't know what to do next...I thought I was doing the right thing, he cries."
Robin: "By choosing me out of obligation?"
Patrick: "You were never an obligation, Robin," for heaven's sake.
Robin: "It had to be, otherwise you would have went right back to her." She cries.
Patrick: "Sabrina...I guess I would have, he says with his head down. "Robin, I'm so sorry," he tries to hug but she won't let him touch her.
Robin: "What are you asking exactly of me Patrick? I need to hear you say it!" She shouts in tears, unable to hold her emotions.
Patrick: "I, well, I, ah, I guess what I am asking for Robin, is ah, ummmm...
Robin: "JUST SAY IT!"
Patrick: "A divorce!" I want a divorce.
Robin: "A divorce, huh...she snarls...."I'm not saying, no, I'm just saying, I won't make it easy !" She starts to storm out of the house.
Patrick: "Where are you going?"
Robin: "To my mothers!" Don't follow me! So help me! You and Sabrina can have your happy ending! But I will make sure it won't be easy! I'll send for my things another day and I'll pick Emma up from school." She slams the door behind her before Patrick could say anything.
Sabrina had left Kelly's and was checking her phone every 5 minutes hoping she would hear from Patrick, but when hours had gone by she just decided to go to the house herself to make sure he was okay. She was getting worried.
As Patrick took out his phone his hands were shaking as he dialed Sabrina's number...it only rang once when he heard a knock at the door.
Patrick: "Sabrina?" He whispers to himself.
Sabrina knocks again startling Patrick.
Patrick: "It is you!" He says hugging her tight.
Sabrina: (Rubs his head) When I didn't hear from you, I got worried and had to make sure you were okay....she sees his tears. And from the looks of it, it wasn't good?
Patrick shakes his head no and pulls her in for a kiss and closes the door behind them.
Patrick: "That's better, he smiles, wiping a tear that started falling from her eyes. She wipes his face too and they sat on the couch holding hands not wanting to let go.
Sabrina: "Hey...tell me what happened?" She sees the sonogram of their baby on the coffee table. "Oh, she saw this," she picks up the picture and looks at it with a smile.
Patrick: "Yea, she did."
Sabrina: "Patrick, I'm so sorry, she says with her head down.
Patrick: "Will you stop apoligizing. It's not like we got pregnant on purpose, he says. "These things just happen. And you know what?" He asks with a smile moving her hair away from her face.
Sabrina: "What?" She sniffles.
Patrick: "I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!" He kisses her again.
Sabrina: "Patrick, you know how much I still love you right?"
Patrick: "About as much as I love you and our baby," he says gently laying his hand on her belly as Sabrina smiles.
Sabrina: "Me too." Patrick, I just have one question...and I want you to be completely honest with me.
Patrick: "Okay," he says sitting up. "What is it?" He asks concerned.
Sabrina: (Takes a deep breath) "If you didn't find out I was pregnant, would you have left Robin to come back to me? Even if I wasn't pregnant?"
