Chapter 10

It had been almost a week since Robert had arrived in Port Charles, he was spending a lot of his time with Anna. They had spent three afternoons with Emma, enjoying some time with her. She was such a ball of energy and she kept them both on their toes. If they didn't have plans with friends they would have dinner together then do something together in the evening. Neither of them had brought up the topic of another baby again. After the pain it had brought up for both of them it seemed they both wanted to avoid talking about it.

Robert knocked on the door between their rooms, "If we're meeting Robin for lunch you better get moving."

Anna opened the door as she passed it, "Just about ready, just another minute."

Robert walked into her room and watched her move around getting her things together. He could watch her all day, the way she carried herself, that little wiggle when she walked, she still has a great ass. It didn't seem to matter how she cut her hair it always looked great, he watched as she brushed it out of her face, and a little smile played on his lips.

"What are you grinning at Scorpio?"

"You," he admitted. "Come on, let's go see our daughter.

...

"I'm tired of waiting. How much longer can it take to run this bloody test?"

Robin was standing with Adam just outside her lab. She started to smile but stopped herself, he had just sounded so much like her dad. "I called about it this morning, I was told it won't be much longer."

"I just want to know one way or another. If I have to keep looking for my family I should be out there doing that."

Robin could hear the frustration in his voice, this time she couldn't stop the smile. "I understand and you're right. I told you I would call as soon as I had the result and I will."

"I know what you said I just hate waiting for answers."

Robin smiled again and shook her head, "You sure sound like you could be his kid."

Adam looked at her wondering what she meant, "I sound like Robert?"

"When he is looking for the answers to a question he pushes and pushes until he gets them. When he can't get those answers fast enough it frustrates the hell out of him. You even throw in a bloody for good measure, it had been bloody hell I would have started laughing right then and there."

Adam smiled even if she wasn't his sister he liked her. "Should I practice my Australian accent too?"

"Yes it should be as good as my British one," she said in a decent English accent.

"That's not fair you grew up hearing them all the time." Then they both started laughing.

"Yes I did and I should be hearing them shortly as well, they are coming here to take me out for lunch."

"They're here at the same time, they always seem to be doing things together. Are they are a couple?"

Robin grinned, "Couple or not they kind of come as a packaged deal. They're both single at the moment."

"Oh, so they have an arrangement?"

"Are you asking me if they're sleeping together because they're here at the same time, hook up of convenience?" Robin asked trying to sound offended but failing to hide the slight laugh in her voice.

"I didn't mean to make it sound dirty or anything. You said they still care for each other, their work keeps them busy, it seemed like a logical possibility."

"OK, I see your point. As far as I know, they aren't but I don't ask them about that either."

...

As they walked towards the lab Anna noticed that Robin was talking to the same young man she and Maxie had been talking to the other day. Anna wondered who he was, there was something about him that made her want to know more about him. She didn't think he had said more than two words the other day but she couldn't help being curious about him.

"What are you thinking about Luv? You have your serious agent face on," Robert said as they got closer.

Anna looked up at him and smiled, "I was just wondering who the guy Robin is talking to is. I know it's none of my business, I'm just curious."

"You been off work for a week and you're already creating mysteries to busy yourself."

"Oh shut up." They were both laughing when they got to Robin and Adam who were laughing as well.

Robin looked over at them, "Hi you're right on time."

"I shouldn't keep you. If the results aren't ready by the end of the day will they get worked on over the weekend?" Adam asked.

"Yes. Hopefully, it won't be much longer though."

"I hope not. Thank you for putting up with me bugging you about this."

"It's no problem at all. I want you to get the answers you looking for."

"Thanks again Robin, hopefully, I'll see you very soon." He looked at Robert and Anna, "If you'll excuse me, I hope you enjoy your lunch," then he grinned and left.

Anna grabbed Robert's arm as her breath caught in her throat. "What kind of test results is he waiting for?" Robert looked at her wondering why she had grabbed him so tightly.

"Mom, I can't tell you that."

Anna turned and looked up at Robert, he grinned, "What's going on?"

That was his grin, that young man has his grin. Anna couldn't answer right away having trouble finding her voice, "I don't know, there's something about him."

Robert put his hand on her arm, then looked her in the eyes. There was something on her mind and it had something to do with that young man. He tilted his head ever so slightly and raised his eyebrow. Anna nodded just enough that he saw it. They would talk about it later. "Why don't we head over to Kelly's for lunch?" Robert suggested.

Robin knew they had just communicated something, but she wasn't sure what. "Kelly's sounds great dad."

Anna nodded then Robert put his hand on her back and they walked off together. Robin watched them for a second before following after them.

...

Anna had been quieter than normal while they were at lunch. Even after they had dropped off Robin she hadn't said much. When they got back to their rooms Anna went into hers and sat on the couch, since they hadn't locked the door between the two rooms once since she got there Robert went to his room and came back with a bottle of brandy and a couple of glasses. "So are we talking or drinking? Maybe a little snuggling, see where that leads us."

"Pour the drinks and get over here."

"So drinking and snuggling I like it," Robert gave her a sexy little smile. There had been a lot of flirting in the last week but that was it.

Anna took a sip when he handed her a glass, "I know you're going to think I'm crazy when I tell you this so just give me a minute to enjoy my drink."

"I've thought you're crazy for years now."

"Thanks." Anna took another sip then looked at Robert. "Have you noticed anything about that guy Robin's helping? Anything that seems impossible?"

"I'm not sure what you mean. We don't know anything about him, how would we know what's possible."

"I know it's not possible that he has your grin, but that's what I saw today."

"What?"

"Robert, I swear there is something about him that doesn't make sense. Then today when he left and flashed that quick little grin, it was exactly the same as your grin."

"Anna so he grins like me, that's no reason to get all worked up."

"I know," Anna put her head back. He didn't just have his grin, he looked like Robert too, not completely but enough someone might think they were related. "Maybe you right honey, I was creating a mystery out of nothing." She would let it go for now but it was still on her mind, who was that young man?

"Maybe," he said with a little nod. He slid his arm around her and pulled her closer. "Was that all that was on your mind?"

Anna adjusted and put her head on his shoulder, "I wonder how old he is. He couldn't be more than twenty."

"You're probably right." Robert turned a little to look at her, then brushed her hair behind her ear. "What is it about him that has you thinking about him so much?"

"I don't think it's one thing in particular." Anna closed her eyes as Robert stoked her cheek. She pulled her knees up and tucked her feet up under herself and put her hand on his chest. "I don't know what it is about him, but I just have a feeling like I need to know more about him." She felt like they were walking a fine line between just being friends and taking another chance at being together. They hadn't done more than this, but she felt they would both like to take it further than cuddling and a little touching. The flirting was fun and she knew she still felt the same way she always had about him.

"I don't know what to tell you." His hand was now on the side of her face while he stroked her cheek with his thumb. He wanted to kiss her, and this wasn't the first time since she had gotten here. He still loved her, he always would. They were going to be here for a while yet, maybe during that time he could bring up his interest in being together again but he didn't think this was the moment to bring it up. "What are we going to do with Emma this weekend?"

Anna moved her head back to his shoulder the said, "We still haven't taken her to the zoo, why don't we do that?"

"Sounds good to me." Robert lowered his hand and put his head back resting it against hers and they both sat quietly feeling the need to be close but not needing to say anything.

...

Robin was about to leave when James walked into the lab. "Here are those results you've been waiting for."

Robin looked at the envelope in his hand, "Thank you." She took it from him then just stared at it. "I hope I wasn't too annoying bothering you about these."

"No, you weren't. I've had people that have called me daily sometimes more than once a day."

"I'm glad you got this here now I was just about to leave."

"I knew you wanted this when it was ready. I am about to leave as well so have a good weekend."

"You too, James. Thanks again." He gave her a little smile and a wave as he walked out the door.

Robin turned the envelope over in her hands. She was suddenly terrified and excited all at once. Robin went and sat down then picked up her phone, "Hi Adam"... "Meet me at my house. I'd rather read these there than at the hospital"... "Yeah, I just got them"... "Alright see you soon"... Robin hung up then picked up the envelop and put in her purse, soon enough she'll know if she had a little brother.
