Chapter 9
Jason walked into Robin's room to find Sabrina about to inject something into her syringe. He looked at her. She jumped when she saw him. Then she hurried to inject whatever it was into the IV. Jason quickly removed it from Robin's arm.
"Noooo Nooo Noooo! She took my son from me and she deserves to die. She deserves to die. Robin had sat up startled when she felt the IV being removed. She deserves to die. I killed Ava's baby. I killed the wrong person." Patrick and Emma walked up. Jason was holding Sabrina back.
"Sabrina what are you doing?" Patrick asked.
"She killed Gabriel. She is responsible for Gabriel's death. She has to pay." Robin called hospital security.
"Mommy is that true?" Emma asked with tears pooled in her big brown eyes.
"No sweetie." Emma stared at her. "There was a bad man that was responsible for the accident."
"Is it the bad man that took you away? You lied mommy. You said you had to help patients. You left us again. Why did you even come back?"
"Emma stop it." Patrick ordered.
"No. You weren't there for my first day of school and you weren't there for my recital. You are never there." She cried. Robin tried to hug her but Emma clung to Patrick who picked her up.
"I am sorry. Just give her time." Sabrina smiled as security took her out and she was promptly placed under arrest. Patrick walked out with Emma. Jason looked at Robin.
"I'm fine. Patrick is right. She needs time and that was the last thing she needed to hear." Robin hugged herself. Jason went to hug her but she moved. "No don't. I said that I was fine. What are your doing out of bed?" She felt his head.
"Stop." He said sternly. He pulled her to him in a tight embrace. "You are not fine and you don't need to be fine at this moment." She was stiff in his arms. She refused to rely on him or anyone else but he held onto her as if he was trying to give her strength. She allowed it telling herself that it was more for him than for her but if she were honest then she would have to admit it felt good. She pulled away.
"Thank you." She said. Liz came in to redo the IV.
"I am so glad you are back. I am sorry about Emma. She really missed you. She just doesn't understand all this villain and kidnapping." Robin nodded. Liz squeezed her hand then left them alone.
"How are you?" Jason asked. "Do not say fine." Robin smiled.
"I am getting better. Fever has broken and I am on the right medications. My HIV test came back negative but I still have to be monitored. It can come back. So I still need to take precautions and take care of myself. My body has not rejected the transplant. They knew what they were doing but it was radical so I will need to be here for a couple of weeks. Just to make sure things heal and that the transplant takes. They will monitor my immune system and basically study me." She frowned.
"Like I am some sort of lab rat." He held her hand. Patrick walked in.
"Do you mind if I have a minute with my wife?" He asked. Jason snorted.
"You mean your ex?" Jason hated Patrick before but the fact that he was with Sam made him sick.
"Robin and I need to be alone. I am sure Sam…"
"You don't speak her name to me." Jason warned. He wanted to break his ribs but he knew that Robin wouldn't like it. She looked at him.
"Jason, it is okay." He nodded then rolled out of the room.
"Liz took Emma to the daycare." He licked at his lips then sat by her bedside.
"I am so sorry. I still don't understand any of this." She explained what happened at the clinic. She explained how they escaped then she escaped the island and ran into Jason and her father who were coming in for the rescue. She told him everything.
"What now?" He asked. She looked at him.
"Looking at you. Watching you respond and process this information. The look on your face when you saw me again was not the same. There was anger. I am afraid what has been broken can't be fixed and I am afraid that you don't want to try unless it is obligation and I don't want that." Robin felt it was the end of them and if she were honest the fact that he could not wait for her weighed heavily on her. She was at the point where she felt that she loved him more than he loved her. She wouldn't be happy slapping the pieces of their marriage back with paste. She did not want the instability of such a foundation.
"Do you love Sam?" She asked.
"I do but I love you as well. It is not like I have an option there. She is with Jason." Robin chuckled.
"They are married." She said softly.
"I know. I just, I cannot handle letting myself go with you only to lose you again. I told you that I didn't want to forget how to love you and I know that this isn't fair. You did not ask for nor do you deserve any of this but it happened and I don't know how to get it back." He kissed his hands as she swiped at the sole tear that escaped on its own.
"I know. We have to be strong for Emma because once she is able to forgive me she will start to wonder. I expect joint custody." Patrick looked at her.
"Of course. You can live at the house until we figure out our living situation." She shook her head.
"No. I will work something out. I figure Carly may be so thankful she will give me a discount at the Metrocourt until I find a place." He sighed.
"If that is what you want but it isn't necessary." She sighed but nodded.
"I know but I need it." It was the end of an era, the end of her marriage and she didn't know how she would get over him but she knew she had to.
