Chapter 3

(The next day, Patrick and Emma are at home. It is still early, but Patrick couldn't sleep, so he's in the living room sitting down on the couch drinking coffee and reading the paper. As he's looking at the paper, his mind wanders)

***Flashback***

(Robin and Patrick are in bed sleeping. Patrick's eyes flutter open and looks around him, noticing it's still morning. He looks at the spot next to him and sees Robin sleeping. He smiles and chuckles softly as he scoots over a little to wrap his arms around Robin. He softly kisses her neck and then moves to her cheeks. Robin moves around a little and laughs softly in his arms)

Robin: "Hello, my dear."

Patrick: (chuckles) "Hello, sweetheart." (teasingly smiles) "I didn't wake you up, did I?"

Robin: (shakes her head) "Mm-mm. No. I'm up."

Patrick: "Liar."

Robin: (chuckles softly) "Excuse me?"

Patrick: (mumbles) "You heard me."

(Robin turns around in bed and laughs, still in Patrick's arms)

Robin: "Did you just call me a liar?"

Patrick: (shrugs) "Maybe." (smiling)

Robin: (chuckles) "Okay, funny man." (sighs) "Okay, maybe I was sleeping. But it's okay." (smiling) "With kisses like that, you can wake me up anytime."

Patrick: (seductively) "Oooh…you just gave me an idea."

Robin: (curiously) "Oh, really? What kind of an idea?"

Patrick: "Is Emma still sleeping?"

Robin: (nods slowly) "Yeah. Why?"

Patrick: "Just making sure…" (smirks) "…before I do this."

Robin: (confused with a curious look) "Do what?"

(Patrick starts kissing Robin passionately. They moan in pleasure. All of a sudden, a voice interrupts them)

Emma: (confused) "What are you two doing?"

(Patrick and Robin stop kissing abruptly and look at their daughter when guilty looks)

Patrick: "Emma. How-How long have you been standing there?"

Emma: (shakes her head) "Not long. I got up a few minutes ago and when I didn't see you in the living room, I thought you'd be sleeping still."

(Patrick and Robin break apart)

Patrick: "Uh, well, yes, mom and daddy were still sleeping, but now we're up."

Robin: "We were, uh, just talking."

Emma: (puzzled) "It doesn't look like you were talking. Looked like you were kissing."

(Patrick and Robin look at each other with a guilty look on their face and can't help but laugh)

Emma: (confused) "What are you laughing about?"

Robin: "Come here, sweetie."

(Robin pats the bed so Emma knows to climb on. Robin puts Emma between her and Patrick and she plays with her daughter's hair. Patrick and Robin look at their daughter before Robin speaks)

Robin: (sighs) "You're right, Emma. Mommy and daddy were kissing."

Patrick: (smiles) "That's how we show our affection for each other."

Emma: (nods) "Oh. Okay. So, then why did you say you were hugging?"

Patrick: (chuckles) "Sorry, baby. You just caught us off-guard. We were hugging a little as well, but kissing, too."

Emma: (smiles) "In that case, I like it when you kiss mommy."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "You do, huh?"

Emma: (nods) "Yes." (smiles) "I think it's cute."

Robin: (laughs) "Well, in that case, you will be seeing us kiss a lot more."

Emma: (giggles) "Okay."

Patrick: "How about I make us some pancakes for breakfast?"

Emma: (excitedly) "With strawberries on them?"

Patrick: (laughs) "If that's what you want, then that's what you'll have."

Emma: "Yay!"

(Emma excitedly gets off the bed and goes into the living room. Patrick and Robin laugh in repliance to their daughter. Patrick then looks at Robin)

Patrick: "Would you like pancakes with strawberries, as well, my love?"

(Robin looks at Patrick and kisses him before smiling)

Robin: "Sounds perfect."

(Patrick and Robin get out of bed and go into the kitchen so Patrick can make the pancakes)

***End Flashback***

(Patrick shakes his head a little and blinks. He notices Emma coming into the living room and walks up to him)

Patrick: (smiles) "Hey, sweetie."

Emma: "Hi."

(Patrick senses Emma has something on her mind)

Patrick: "Is everything okay, Emma?"

Emma: "I had a dream."

(Patrick studies her for a moment before responding)

Patrick: (nodding) "Okay. Can you tell me what the dream was about?"

Emma: (little sadly) "Mommy."

(Patrick deeply sighs as he continues to look at his daughter. Patrick picks up Emma and brings her to the couch where they sit down. Patrick rests her on his lap and briefly plays with her hair, tucking the hair that's in her face behind her ears)

Patrick: "Can you tell me more of what was in the dream?"

Emma: (nods) "She said she will always love me and that even though she's in heaven, she's always watching over me."

Patrick: (nods) "That's true, baby. Mommy will always love you and yes, she will watch you from heaven. Every night when you're sleeping, she has angels with you so they can protect you and make sure you have sweet dreams."

Emma: (tilts her head) "That's kinda like what mommy said." (confused) "Is she able to come down from heaven and watch me while I sleep?"

Patrick: (smiles a little) "I think so. I think the way heaven works, your mommy comes down and smiles and makes sure you have sweet dreams. I know you're young and I never want you to forget mommy, so I always make sure to have pictures around the house as well as in your room and by your bed. That way, every time you wake up, you'll see her and know she's watching you."

Emma: (shakes her head & smiles) "Don't worry, I'll never forget mommy, daddy. She's always in my dreams and you always tell me stories about her. She's always with me."

Patrick: (smiles) "That's right, honey."

Emma: (smiles) "I love you, daddy."

Patrick: "I love you, too, sweetie. I have an idea."

Emma: (curiously) "What?"

Patrick: "Well, today is Saturday and I'm off and you have no school. How would you like to go to the park and then afterwards, we can have lunch?"

Emma: (smiles) "Sounds awesome!"

Patrick: (nods) "Sounds good."

Emma: "Can we go to the hospital and visit everyone? It's been a little while since we were last there."

Patrick: (curiously) "You like the hospital, huh?"

Emma: (nods happily) "Uh-huh. Epiphany always teases me and Elizabeth gives the best hugs, well, after you and mommy, of course."

Patrick: (laughs) "Nice save, little one. Well, I'm not sure if Epiphany and Elizabeth work today, but we can sure check. They always like seeing you."

Emma: (smiles & shrugs) "I know."

(Patrick can't help but laugh out loud at Emma's comment)

Patrick: "You seem very sure of yourself."

Emma: (shakes her head) "No, I like seeing them, too."

Patrick: "Okay, well, get dressed and I'll bring you to Kelly's for breakfast before going to the hospital to see everyone."

Emma: (nodding) "Okay, daddy."

(Patrick helps Emma off his lap and then she goes to her room to get ready. Patrick sighs and looks up a little, facing the ceiling)

Patrick: "I hope you're helping me, Robin, watch over her."

(Patrick looks down and deeply sighs)

Patrick: "Sometimes I don't think I'm doing very well at raising her. I wish you were here so you could tell me whether or not I'm doing any good." (shakes his head) "I guess all I can do is do my best. I just hope it's good enough."

(Patrick then gets up off the couch and gets ready. After about a half hour, Patrick comes out of his bedroom and sees Emma sitting down on the couch watching cartoons)

Patrick: "How long have you been out here, sweetie?"

Emma: (shakes her head & looks at Patrick) "Not long."

Patrick: "Oh, yeah?"

(Patrick sits beside her on the couch. He looks at her outfit, which is a pair of blue Capri's and a light plain purple shirt. She's wearing blue socks with her purple crocks)

Patrick: (smiles) "You look very nice. I take it you didn't need any help?"

Emma: (shakes her head proudly) "Nope. I'm a big girl! I didn't need any help."

Patrick: (laughs) "Yes, you are! You are definitely a big girl." (tenderly) "You're growing up so fast."

Emma: (smiles) "I'll always be your little girl."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "Yes, you will, baby. Yes, you will."

(Patrick and Emma leave the house and go to Kelly's for breakfast. After having breakfast, he decides to go to the hospital. They get off the elevator and looks at the Nurse's Station where they see Elizabeth and Epiphany. Patrick watches at Emma runs to the counter)

Emma: "Hi, Elizabeth! Hi, Epiphany!"

(Epiphany and Elizabeth look up from their work and see Emma and they greet her)

Epiphany: "Well, hello there, my dear!"

Liz: "Hi, Emma! What brings you by?"

Emma: (smiles) "I thought I'd come by and surprise you!"

Liz: (laughs) "Well, that you did!"

Patrick: "Emma said she wanted to visit being it's been awhile. I hope we didn't come at a bad time."

(Elizabeth and Epiphany shake their heads in repliance)

Epiphany: "Not at all. I always welcome a visit from little Emma Drake."

Emma: (giggles) "I was hoping you'd say that! I always like seeing you and Elizabeth. You always make me laugh and Elizabeth gives the best hugs. After mommy and daddy of course."

Liz: (chuckles) "Of course. No one can top mommy and daddy's hugs."

Epiphany: "So, where are you two off to next?"

Emma: "To the park. Daddy promised me he'd play and push me on the swings."

Epiphany: (laughs) "Of course!"

(All of a sudden, Sabrina comes around the corner)

Sabrina: "Everything is taken care of, Nurse Johnson. Everything that you needed me to do."

Epiphany: (nods) "Thank you, Nurse Santiago."

(Sabrina notices Patrick and smiles)

Sabrina: "Dr. Drake, hi."

Patrick: (smiles) "Hi, Sabrina."

(Emma turns around halfway to look at her daddy with a questionable look)

Emma: "Daddy, who's the lady with the red glasses?"

Patrick: (chuckles) "Her name is Sabrina. Sabrina Santiago."

Emma: "I've never seen her before."

Patrick: "That's because she just started working here. She's one of the nurse's here, like Elizabeth."

(Emma turns completely around to face Sabrina)

Emma: "Nice to meet you, Sabrina."

(Emma offers Sabrina her hand, which Sabrina happily accepts)

Sabrina: (smiles) "Nice to meet you, as well, Emma. I've heard many nice things about you, so I'm glad I can put a name to the face."

Emma: "Being you just started here, does that mean you moved here to Port Charles?"

Sabrina: (chuckles softly) "Yes. So far, everyone I've met has been really nice and friendly…your dad included."

Emma: (smiles proudly) "My daddy is always nice to others. When he sees others in pain, he always tries to help."

Sabrina: (nods) "Yes, he does. He's been very helpful to me while I get used to things around here. You should be very proud of him."

Emma: (smiles) ""Oh, I am. Mommy was always like that, too."

(Sabrina looks at Emma with a confused face. Before anyone else can say anything, Patrick steps in)

Patrick: "Emma, sweetheart, why don't we leave so Elizabeth, Epiphany, and Sabrina can get back to work. We've visited long enough."

Emma: (nods) "Okay, daddy."

(Elizabeth goes up to Emma and gives her a big hug. After breaking free, Elizabeth and Emma smile at each other)

Liz:: "You didn't think I was gonna let you leave without one of my special hugs, did you?"

Emma: (giggles) "No. I told daddy I like your hugs."

Liz: (chuckles) "Well, I'm glad. I will see you next time, okay?"

Emma: (nods) "Okay." (waves) "Bye, Elizabeth." (waves to Epiphany) "Bye, Epiphany." (smiles & waves to Sabrina) "Bye, Sabrina. Hopefully I will see you next time."

Sabrina: (smiles) "I would love that."

(Emma walks with Patrick as they leave the hospital. Sabrina looks at Elizabeth and smiles)

Sabrina: "Oh, Emma is so adorable!"

Liz: (smiles) "That she is."

Sabrina: (confused) "There was something that Emma said that confused me."

Liz: "What's that?"

Sabrina: (puzzled) "Well, the way Emma talked about her mother…it's like it was in the past tense. Un-Unless I'm mistaken."

Liz: (shakes her head) "No, you weren't mistaken. No one really talks about it around here or around Patrick."

Sabrina: (concerned) "Did something happen to her?"

Liz: (sighs & nods) "Yeah. I don't want to get into too much out of respect for Patrick, but…six months ago, his wife, Robin, was killed in a drunk driving accident. Robin was on her way home from work when it happened."

(Sabrina covers her face a little and looks like she's about to cry)

Sabrina: "Oh, my god!"

Liz: (nods sadly) "Yeah. Now, I'm sure you understand why it's a delicate subject."

Sabrina: (sniffles) "Yes, I do."

(All of a sudden, a thought appears to Sabrina)

Sabrina: "Th-That's why Patrick seemed so sad the other day in the locker room when he was by his locker." (gasps) "I hope I didn't intrude on him when he was grieving."

(Elizabeth goes to Sabrina and comforts her)

Liz: (shakes her head) "No, you didn't intrude. It's okay. You didn't know."

Sabrina: "Does Patrick ever talk about it?"

Liz: (shakes her head) "No, not really. We all feel when he's ready, he will."

Sabrina: (nods sympathetically) "Of course."

(Sabrina and Elizabeth go back to work, but Sabrina looks away briefly from her work)

Sabrina: (sighs sadly) "Poor Dr. Drake."

(A few tears appear in her eyes, which she quickly wipes. She looks back to her work and continues it)
