Chapter Nine
"Hey, I have to get into work." Patrick said pulling Robin away from her family.
"Ok." Robin said. "Be brilliant."
"I will." Patrick said kissing her.
"Wait." Ella said. "Where's my goodbye kiss."
"Right here." Patrick said picking her up and kissing her cheek. Setting her down he said goodbye to the family and headed out.
"Dr. Drake, Mrs. Molino is refusing her meds this morning." Nurse Mir said.
"I'll talk with her." Patrick said taking her chart.
"Doctor, what are you doing for lunch?" Nurse Mir asked.
"Working." Patrick said before walking away.
"Well I'll be." Nadine said. "Nurse Mir shot down by Dr. Drake."
"That is because he is involved with someone." Leo said walking up and slipping her arms around Nadine.
"Oh." Leyla said. "Who?"
"She is a new doctor." Leo said. "Lainey and I showed her around yesterday."
"Who?" Lainey said walking up with Kelly.
"Robin Scorpio, the new doctor." Leo said.
"She seems nice." Lainey said.
"She has a daughter." Leo said.
"Wow." Kelly said.
"Patrick doesn't do kids." Leyla said.
"Well he seems bonded with this little girl." Leo said. "I saw them."
The elevator dinged and Robin walked out holding Ella's hand.
"Excuse me?" Robin said to the group.
All turned around to see her.
"Dr. Scorpio." Leo said.
"Hi, is Patrick here?" Robin asked.
"Dr. Drake is with a patient." Leyla snapped.
"Oh, well I was hoping he would look at Ella." Robin said.
"Ella?" Lainey asked.
"My daughter." Robin said picking her up.
"Hello there." Lainey said. "You must be Ella."
"Hi." Ella said. "Where's Patrick?"
"He is busy." Leo said. "Your mommy says you need to be looked at. Can I ask why?"
"My ear hurts." Ella said.
"She gets ear infections every now and then." Robin said.
"I can take a look." Leo said.
"No, I want Patrick." Ella said.
"Did I hear my name?" Patrick asked walking up buried in chart.
"Yes, five year old girl, possible ear infection." Kelly said.
"What?" Patrick asked looking up. "Why hello there."
"Hi." Robin said. "Ella insisted on coming to see you because her ear hurts."
"Oh." Patrick said. "I see, well I have some time now so how about we take a look."
"Ok." Robin said setting Ella down.
Patrick walked off with Ella and Robin leaving everyone but Leyla amused.
"It looks like an ear infection." Patrick said. "I can give you some meds for it."
"Thanks." Robin said. "I usually just get some, but she insisted on seeing you for it."
"Patrick makes me feel better." Ella said.
"I do?" Patrick asked.
"Yep." Ella said.
"Well I am glad." Patrick said. "How about you ladies join me for some lunch?."
"Sure." Robin said. "I guess we should sample the food before we are here everyday."
"Yeah." Patrick said. "It takes some getting used to."
He walked Robin down to the pharmacy to get Ella's medicine and then they walked to the cafeteria.
"Mama, may I have that?" Ella asked pointing to a picture of a new item to the menu.
"Sure." Robin said.
"What will it be?" The worker asked.
"Turkey sandwich and fries." Robin said. "And one ham and cheese on rye." "And I'll have a turkey sub." Patrick said.
"Your number 12, it will be up in a few minutes."
"Ok." Patrick said walking the girls over to a table. "What would you two like to drink?"
"Coke for me and apple or grape juice for Ella." Robin said.
"White grape." Ella said. "Please."
"Ok." Patrick said getting it.
"Number 12, your order is up." A voice said.
Patrick got their food and paid for it. Bring it back they sat eating and talking.
Leyla walked into the cafeteria and saw Patrick sitting with Robin and Ella. Walking over she smiled politely.
"Found time for lunch I see." Leyla said.
"Yeah, I had a break in my schedule." Patrick said. "Robin this is Nurse Leyla Mir."
"Hello." Robin said reaching out to shake her hand, but Leyla blew her off.
"I was hoping we could have lunch, but maybe we can have dinner instead." Leyla said.
"I don't think so." Patrick said. "I have other plans."
"Oh, well we have to get together soon." Leyla said. "You know everyone thinks we would be so well together."
"Leyla, I am involved with someone." Patrick said. "And no one thinks we would be good together. They tell me to avoid you like the pelage."
"You are to funny." Leyla said. "I'll see you around Dr. Drake."
She walked off and Patrick shook his head.
"Tell me, do I have a hit on me sign on my back?" Patrick asked.
"You did, but I took it." Robin said. "You're all mine now."
"Mama you have to share." Ella said.
"Oh do I?" Robin asked.
"Yes, because Patrick is my friend too." Ella said.
"Ok, I will share Patrick with you." Robin said.
"Ok." Ella said though a big yawn.
"Are you sleepy?" Robin asked.
"Yeah, Grandpa Robert wore me out." Ella said.
"How are things with your dad?" Patrick asked.
"Good." Robin said. "They are doing a family dinner tonight."
"Oh." Patrick said.
"I was asked to invite you." Robin said. "But you said you had plans."
"I do." Patrick said. "I am having dinner with the Scorpio family."
Robin smiled while they finished eating.
"Ok, I will see you later." Patrick said kissing Robin.
"Ok." Robin said.
"Bye bumpkin." Patrick said kissing Ella's cheek.
"Bye." Ella said.
Robin led Ella over to the restrooms.
"Ok, I will be right out. You sit right here."
"Ok." Ella said.
Robin walked into the restroom.
"Hi there." A women said walking up.
"Hi." Ella said.
"You look every pretty today." She said.
"Thank you." Ella said. "My Aunty Brenda gave it to me from Rome."
"Cool." The women said. "Would you like Lolly pop?"
"Mama said not to take candy from strangers." Ella said.
"Wise mama." The women said. "I work here at GH." The women said. "See these are my blue scrubs."
"Oh." Ella said. "I guess that is ok."
The women handed Ella the Lolly pop and walked away. Ella stuck the Lolly pop in her pocket for later. Robin came out of the restroom.
"Are you ready?" Robin asked.
"Yeah." Ella said hopping off the bench.
Robin took Ella's hand and led her out of GH and home.
"Hi." Robin said opening the door to let Patrick in.
"What's wrong?" Patrick asked seeing Robin looking off.
"Ella has a fever." Robin said. "I hate when she gets sick."
"I thought it was an ear infection." Patrick said taking off his coat.
"I thought that too, but she got really tired so she took a nap. I went in to check on her and she is burning up. I gave her something, but there are spots now. She had chicken pox already."
"Let me see her." Patrick said.
The phone rang.
"I am trying to get he records from Paris." Robin said.
"Ok, I know where she is." Patrick said.
He kissed Robin's forehead and walked down the hall to Ella's room. Walking in he was scared. She looked really sick. Walking over he placed his hand on her head and felt she was burning up. Taking her pulse he felt it was weak. He saw his racecar pillow wrapped in her arms.
"Patrick?" Ella asked opening her eyes.
"Hey bumpkin." Patrick said. "I hear you don't feel good."
"I don't." Ella said. "It hurts to breathe."
"Ok, we are going to get you better." Patrick said moving to pick her up.
She held his pillow in her arms and went back to sleep. Walking back to the living room Robin looked up from the phone.
"What is it?" Robin asked.
"We need to take her to GH now." Patrick said.
"Oh god." Robin said.
"Look, I need you to get your things and whatever meds she took in the last week." Patrick said.
"Ok." Robin said running to her bedroom. She was dressed and had the things she needed. "Ok, let's go."
"Wait, we need to wrap her up." Patrick said.
Robin grabbed a blanket and covered Ella. They made there way outside.
"Get in back and I will hand her to you." Patrick said.
Robin did as she was told and Patrick set Ella in her arms. Patrick on in the driver seat and they were off.
Patrick held Ella in his arms as they ran into GH.
"I need a doctor." Patrick yelled.
Alan was working when he saw Robin and Patrick run in. Running over he met Robin and Patrick.
"What is going on?" Alan asked.
"She is having problems breathing." Patrick said.
"Tell me what happened." Alan asked as he and Patrick worked on Ella.
"She saw Patrick for an ear infection earlier and then we had lunch. She was fine. We went home and she played in her room for a half an hour and then she came out and said she was sleepy. I tucked her in for a nap and went to check on her an hour later and she had a fever. I gave her some children's fever reducer. Patrick came and looked at her and we rushed her here." Robin said.
"Get me cbc, light, cam and a tox screen." Alan told the nurse. "Set her IV and push 15 cc of ibuprofen."
"Yes doctor." Several nurses said.
"What is going on?" Robin asked.
"We will know more as soon as the blood work comes back." Alan said. "We'll take good care of her."
"She's not breathing." Patrick screamed as he began compressions.
Robin stood frozen in shock as the tried to save her baby. She watched as they shocked her and pushed this med and that into her body.
