Too Close for Comfort

"Anything," Carly said after a moment's hesitation. She just wanted Robin to keep up hope and keep digging with her.

"I need-I need you to promise me that you are going to take care of Emma for me after I die." Robin said with courage.

Carly blinked as tears came to her eyes. "What?" She whimpered to the dirt wall, halting in her digging to get to the other side for Robin.

"You're a great a mother. You try and do everything you can to protect your children and I know that you would do the same for Emma. I mean think of how you act with Kristina and Molly? You are a great mother and even if I don't like you that much, I know that you would do everything in your power to protect my daughter." She was silent for a moment and Carly had tears running down her face. "I need you to promise me you'll take care of her."

Carly was silent for a long moment. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Robin didn't think that she was going to make it and now she was asking her to take care of her daughter because she was a good mother. Carly was honored to be asked to take care of Emma, but at the same time she was mad. How could Robin just give up like that?

"Carly, I need you to promise me." Robin begged from the other side of the wall.

"I promise. But you're going to get out of this. You just need to keep on digging. Come on Robin, we're almost there. You can't give up on me now."

Carly was digging frantically when she heard a light thud from the other side of the dirt. "Robin!" She cried out loud. She didn't get any response but that just made her dig even harder and faster. "Robin, if you can hear me, I need you to hang on. Everything is going to be okay. I'm gonna get you out of there. I promise."

It was a few minutes later when Carly broke threw to the other side. "Oh my God," Carly cried as she made the hole in the wall as big as she could get it. "Robin?"

Carly looked into the other room and saw Robin passed out face down in the dirt. She was filthy and didn't look to be breathing.

"Robin!" Carly cried trying to shove more of the dirt out of the way.

"What's going on?" a familiar voice asked from behind her. Startled, Carly jumped and turned to see Jason standing behind her.

"Robin is on the other side of all the dirt and the hole is too small for me to get to her."

"What do you mean; Robin's still trapped in here?" Jason stepped forward and glanced threw the hole and saw Robin lying on the other side.

"We need to get her out of there."

"You need to get out of here." Jason said, pushing a dirty Carly towards the missing wall.

"I'm not leaving without Robin." Carly said, slapping his hand away. "She needs me."

"Carly, you're bleeding and you have dirt all over you. You could get an infection." Jason argued. He already made sure that Sam was okay and now he needed to have Carly safe and out of harms way.

"Either you help or not, Jason, I'm not leaving her here." She began to dig at the dirt again.

After a long sigh of annoyance, Jason began to dig with her in silence. After a minute they got the hole big enough that he could crawl threw and grab her. Robin moaned as he lifter her in to his arms. And Carly talked to her the entire way to the car while Jason carried her.

"It's going to be okay." Carly said to Robin.

Wesley got out of the car when he saw them coming. "Anything I can do to help?"

"Get out of the way!" Carly snapped at him.

Without arguing he moved aside as she got and Jason placed Robin beside her. Robin was leaning mostly against Carly and the door.

Jason got behind the wheel and Wesley jumped in the passenger seat. He kept turning around to look at Robin. But as they sped away a loud boom was heard from behind them and Sam looked to see the entire property explode. "We got out of there just in time," she mused aloud.

Carly nodded. They had been close. Too close for comfort. She was glad that she had chosen to stay behind and help Robin. If it weren't for Robin Carly and Sam would have probably been dead. The least she could do was repay the favor.

Carly looked down at Robin and was relieved that she was going to be able to make it. She was going to be able to make it to the hospital and hopefully she will be able to take care of Emma.

Carly had made a promise to robin that she died, carly would take care of her daughter. She was going to uphold that deal to the best of her ability. She will do everything in her power to make sure that Emma is provided for and will always remember her mother.

Sam tapped carly on the shoulder. Carly turned as saw that Sam had a smile on her face. "That was a brave thing you did for her."

Carly looked down at Robin and so did Sam. "She would have done the same for us."

Sam looked carly in the eyes and she had to agree. Robin would have tried to come back and save them, even if it meant risking her life. Again.
