CHAPTER FOUR

Keesha was waiting for Jason to come out of ICU. She had gone by the Quartermaine mansion this morning to see Jason and found out he spent the night at the hospital. When Keesha arrived Monica told her he was in ICU with Robin. Keesha asked when she could see Robin then. Monica had told her she couldn't; it was still immediate family only. So she asked why Jason was allowed back in ICU with Robin. Monica didn't answer her just said she would go tell Jason that Keesha was there.

Keesha wondered what was going on with Jason. He had been different the last few months. He had been spending a lot of time with Stone and Robin she knew helping them through Stone's illness and his final days. He had died about a month ago now. Jason was spending a lot of time with Robin helping her with her grief, Keesha understood that. She felt like Jason was pulling away from her though because of what she didn't know. She loved Jason and knew that he loved her. Lately though they didn't seem to spend a lot of time together. He had been trying to help Robin dealing with Stone's death and her HIV status. She knew this and supported him in it. Jason and Robin were close friends. That still didn't account for why he was allowed in ICU when everyone else was told only Mac could see Robin. Maybe because his parents were doctors at GH was why he was allowed in to see her, but that didn't make sense to Keesha either. She wondered what was going on.

Jason came into the waiting room and saw Keesha sitting there, when she saw him she got up and she walked over to him and gave him a kiss but he turned his head and she ended up kissing him on his cheek. He pulled away from her and told her, "We need to talk, Keesha." She wondered if something bad had happened to Robin.

"Is Robin okay?" She asked as he led her over to the plastic chairs so they could sit down.

"Robin is holding her own. There is no more internal bleeding they had gotten it stopped." Jason told Keesha who was worried about Robin.

"So what did you want to talk about then?" Keesha wanted to know, not suspecting what was about to happen.

"I don't know how to do this. I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already am going to, but I don't want to be with you anymore." Jason told Keesha.

A shocked Keesha asked, "Why? You're breaking up with me?"

"Yes, I care about someone else." Jason admitted.

"Who? Who do you care about? The only person you have been spending time with is Robin. And I know it can't be her."

"It is Robin. I love her Keesha."

"What? She just lost Stone and I know she loved him with her whole heart. She wouldn't just move on that fast. He has only been dead about a month." A devastated Keesha said not understanding.

"Yes she did just lose Stone, but I can't help how I feel about her. I love her and I want a chance to be with her." Jason said.

"How do you know you love her? I thought you loved me." Keesha was crying by this time.

"I don't want to hurt you."

"Then just tell me the truth." Keesha cries.

"When I am with her I feel like I'm home inside I mean. She is my best friend and I am in love with her. I'm sorry Keesha but I can't help how I feel. I tried not to feel like this for her and it doesn't work."

"Does she care about you do you know?"

"Yes she does, she and I kissed the other day and she pulled away because she didn't want to hurt you. I told her I cared about her and she admitted that she cared about me too, but she couldn't hurt you. So I knew that since she did care about me that I had to end it with you. I want a chance to be with Robin."

"I can't believe this is happening I was so sure that we were meant to be together forever and now you are breaking up with me to be with Robin of all people the one person I can't hate." Keesha told Jason still stunned by what is happening.

"Robin didn't want to hurt you Keesha that is why she pulled away from me when we kissed. She didn't want you hurt so if you have to hate someone hate me not her. I am the one who can't let what happened between Robin and I go."

"How long have you felt this way about Robin?" She wanted to know if this is why he was pulling away from her these last few months.

"Several months, even before Stone died." Jason said not really surprising Keesha as she though about it. For months he had been acting different.

"I know I can't be around you right now Jason, it hurts too much because I love you so much. So please just stay away from me for right now. I don't want to see you." With that Keesha got up still crying and walked away.

Monica saw a crying Keesha leave the waiting room and went in to see how her son was. She found him with his head hung.

"Jason," Monica said letting him know she was there. "Do you want to talk?"

"I didn't want to hurt her, but I just don't love her, I tried to, Mom but I love Robin."

"I know you can't help who you fall in love with, Jason. I know Keesha is hurting but it would have been worse if you kept pretending that you love her and wanted to be with her like you have been doing when you don't." Jason looked at his mom and wondered how she knew just what to say.

"Thanks I need to go take that shower so I can get back to Robin." Jason told his mother anxious to get back to Robin.

"The clothes that Reginald brought are in my office just go get them and head down to the doctor's showers. I will meet you in with Robin later. I just came from checking on her a few minutes ago and she was doing the same." Monica reassured her son.

"Thanks." He gave his mother a hug and headed down to his mother's office to get the clothes that Reginald had brought and to take a shower.

After his shower he went back up stairs to ICU thinking about Robin and Keesha, he did the right thing telling Keesha how he felt about Robin. He couldn't pretend anymore. Now he just had to tell Robin when she woke up how he felt. They would have to take it slow she was still grieving over Stone. He knew she cared about him though. They would make it work. They had to. He had never felt this way about anyone before.

He walked back into ICU and Mac was looking at Robin standing up beside her next to the bed. "Come on Robin open those beautiful brown eyes of yours."

"What is going on Mac?'

"She squeezed my hand but hasn't opened her eyes." Mac told a stunned Jason. Jason walked back to the door and told the nurse to page his mother that Robin squeezed Mac's hand.

Jason then walked over to the bed so he could see Robin in case she did open her eyes. Her eyes fluttered and she tried to open her eyes but couldn't seem to make them open. Monica rushed in with Tony and Alan behind her. Monica told Mac and Jason to step aside so she could get in there to see how Robin was doing.

"Robin, can you hear me?" Monica asked her.

Robin's eyes fluttered again.

"That's good Robin now can you open them?" Monica said checking her over.

"She's waking up, isn't she?" Mac asked anxious to see how his niece was doing.

"Yes she is. This is a good sign." Monica told Mac and Jason who was just as anxious. They took her off the ventilator when she started coughing.

Robin opened her eyes blinking them against the light. It was bright. She closed her eyes again and opened them back up and saw Monica.

"Welcome back, Robin." Alan said to her.

Robin sees Alan then and grimaced she was in pain from her chest but wait she couldn't feel anything below that. She tried to move her legs and couldn't. the happiness everyone felt changed to sadness when Robin spoke "I can't feel my legs, I can't feel my legs." Robin cried out shocked.

Alan, Monica and Tony looked at each other not expecting this. Mac and Jason were in shock. Could Robin be paralyzed?

"Calm down Robin, we need to check your legs close your eyes and let me know if you feel something." Monica took the covers off of Robin's legs and ran a fingernail down her legs and into her feet and Robin said nothing.

"Robin, you can open your eyes now." Monica covered her legs back up and looked at Tony then Alan, and finally Jason and Mac. Robin couldn't feel her legs.

They all wondered what to do now. What else could go wrong and what else would Robin have to go through.
