Hailey wasn't looking for a relationship when Johnny came into her life. He wasn't someone who she ever saw her self being with; he was the complete opposite of Steve. But they say opposites attract.

For the first time in a long time she found herself happy; much to the chagrin of her family. Her mother and brothers (oh yeah forgot to mention Hailey just discovered another half brother; Dr. Matt Hunter) were afraid of the lifestyle Johnny was in and didn't want Hailey involved. Bobbie knew how much the lifestyle had cost Carly. Speaking of her sister, she was displeased to learn of Hailey's romance though for a different reason. Sonny and Johnny were sworn enemies, they both despised each other. Hailey understood that, Sonny was like a brother to her; hell he's her daughters godfather. Though she took her families' concerns seriously she was an adult who could make her own decision. Ultimately however her families' disapproval proved to be too much and she decided to break things off in her words "before things got serious."

Too late for that.

She began to fall for the dark haired mobster but she thought this was the best decision.


"Sonny you don't want to do this," Hailey heard Johnny's voice as she walked into his apartment, the front door had been left slightly open. It had been three weeks since she had broken things off with Johnny and she hadn't spoken to him since. Having spent time in his apartment she realized she had left some paperwork there and came back to retrieve it.

She walked to the terrace to see Sonny pointing a gun at her ex boyfriend.

"Sonny," she spoke quietly as she approached her former brother in law.

"Hailey leave," he told her.

"No," she stood her ground.

"Hailey leave," Johnny yelled, not wanting her anywhere near this.

She ignored his plea, "Sonny listen to me you don't want to this,"

Sonny's gaze never left Johnny's, "He shot my son."

"No he didn't," she brazenly walked in the line of fire and stood in between the two men.

"Hailey!" Johnny yelled attempting to move her out of the way but she wouldn't budge.

"Sonny don't," she paused, "He didn't do it."

"How do you know that?"

"Because he was with me," she lied.

"Hailey," Johnny began.

She continued, "He was with me."

"Your lying," Sonny spoke through gritted teeth.

"Why would I lie? I broke up with him," she began, "I got drunk and lonely and Johnny was there. All night." The lies rolled right off her tongue.

Sonny stood silent for a few moments before eventually lowering his gun and leaving Johnny's without further incident.

"Hailey," Johnny spoke reaching out to gently grab her arm.

"Don't make me regret that," she spat before walking away.


Hailey had quickly formed a brother sister relationship with her newly discovered half brother Matt Hunter. They were already coworkers who got along well so after learning they share a father the two began bond as siblings. Her relationship with Patrick had started out differently. Upon discovering the deceit for mother and father had pulled off, Hailey in no way wanted a relationship with her biological father or brother; though neither had been complacent in the deceit having some sort of relationship with them just didn't feel right.

"I feel like its like is disrespectful to my dad," Hailey confided in Carly, "I know it sounds stupid but Tony was my father. He was the only father I've ever known. How am I supposed to call someone else dad?"

"Oh sweetie I understand where your coming from," Carly began, "But your cheating you and the kids out of a relationship with their grandfather. I know you loved Tony but I also know you and I know you want to know Noah. It wont be the same but he is your father and he missed out on your entire life through no fault of his own. I think you know deep down that Tony would want this for you."

And so a tentative relationship between father and daughter soon started. It was rocky but both were trying and that was better than nothing.

One relationship that would never change is Hailey's relationship with Elizabeth Webber. The two never got along, starting when Elizabeth and Lucky began dating. They were complete opposites and Hailey just didn't mesh with her former sister in law.

So when Liz began a close relationship with Matt, Hailey was none too pleased.

"You just can't be without a man can you. How long's it gonna take before you dump Matt for some other unsuspecting guy?"

"Your one to talk," Elizabeth shot back.

"I've made plenty of mistakes but what makes us different is that own up to them. Unlike you who acts like a perfect little saint, but we all know the truth. I mean look at all the shit you put Lucky through. You lied and cheated numerous times. And yet for some reason you still have all these men wrapped around your little finger until you break them. You've already broken Lucky, I'll be damned if your gonna do the same thing to my brother."

Elizabeth was angry, "My relationship with Matt is none of your business."

"I am so tired of you and your pretentious good girl act. I am sick and tired of seeing people I love getting sucked into your life to get chewed up and spit back out. And you have no remorse for any of it."

"I could say the same about you and Steven. You've screwed my brother over on more than one occasion. I just hope my niece doesn't turn out to belike her mother. A conniving bitch."

That was all it took for Hailey; say what you want about her but never bring up her kids. She slapped Elizabeth straight across the face. As she turned to walk away she spoke over her shoulder, "While you're at it stay away from Patrick."


Life changes in an instant. Everyone knew that but it become clear to Hailey the day she learned her sister in law died. Robin had been caught in a lab explosion that had claimed her life all too soon.

The hardest part was telling her kids that their aunt was no longer with them. Tears had been shed by all. She wiped the tears away as she answered the knock on the door.

"Hey," Johnny solemnly spoke.

"Hey."

"I heard about Robin. I just wanted to say I'm sorry."

"Thanks," there was an awkward silence. "Do you want to come in?"

Johnny accepted.

"How are you doing?" he asked.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not gonna pretend we were best friends or anything but," she paused, "She wasn't a horrible person. She didn't deserve to die. Patrick doesn't deserve this. Emma. Poor Emma."

Johnny said nothing; just listened, "Life isn't fair. Emma shouldn't have to grow up without her mother."

"I don't think there is anything I can say to make this okay," he told her. "I just want you to know that I'm here for you. I care about you Hailey."


The day of Robin's funeral arrived and needless to say emotions were running high. Johnny showed up to support Hailey, problem is Sonny being a longtime friend of Robin was also in attendance.

"You need to leave," Noah tells Johnny when he sees the younger man enter the church, "I don't want a mob war at my daughter in laws funeral."

"With all due respect Dr. Drake I'm here to support your daughter. That's all."

"Noah there a problem?" Hailey walked over to the two men. She still couldn't bring herself to call him dad just yet.

"You really think bringing Johnny Zacharra here is a good idea?"

She was so sick and tired of people judging her choices but now was not that time to discuss that with her father.

"He's here to support me. Neither him or Sonny are interested in anything today."

Though the two woman were not close friends, Hailey spoke, "Robin and I never really got along. I think its because we were both so stubborn. She was kind though I rarely was to her. She was intelligent and fiercely loyal to those she loved. And I would never admit this to her but she was a phenomenal doctor. But Robin was more that that, which is what I respected about there the most. She was a mother to an amazing little girl. A little girl who I love very much and is the spitting image of her mother. That beautiful little girl whose mothers' eyes lit up whenever you mentioned her name. And she was a wife, a saint almost for putting up with my brother for all this time," she let out a small laugh trying to lighten the mood, "That marriage, the love they shared I was envious of. Robin and Patrick's love story was unique, something that if your lucky comes once in a lifetime. And no matter what happened they always found their way back to each other. Robin wouldn't give up so we can't give up on her. Let us keep her legacy alive through her work, her research and through her daughter so that she and the rest of us will always remember the kind of person Robin Scorpio Drake really was."


"Thank you for coming today," Hailey said to Johnny as they walked onto the docks.

"We may not be together but like I told you I still care about you," he responded.

"Her death was sudden and tragic. It just proved to me that life is short," she began. "And that you should do what makes you happy because you never now what might happen."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that you make me happy and if your willing I want to give us another chance."

Johnny said nothing as he quickly embraced her in a passionate kiss.
