A/N This chapter is brought to you by St. Joseph's day (Happy St. Joseph's day btw) and a deciding lack of desire to do my homework as it is not do tomorrow. And if you don't know who St. Joseph is he is Mary's husband he's sort of like the Italian patron saint like St. Patrick is for the Irish. Although St. Patrick always ends up overshadowing poor St. Joseph as it is two days before. sigh
Thank

Lainey frowned watching her two friends they had been through what had to have been the worst year in the world and now just when things were beginning to look up someone up and takes their kids. Lainey pulled herself away from her thoughts and headed over to the couches in the staff lounge at General Hospital which Patrick and Robin currently occupied. Robin was sitting on Patrick's lap with her head resting on his shoulder as she stared blankly into space. Patrick was stroking his fiancée's hair while keeping his jaw firmly clenched, his eyes glittering dangerously. "Patrick? Robin?" Lainey asked cautiously hoping one of them would respond. Robin didn't even look at her the only sign she gave of hearing her friend was to huddle closer to Patrick. Patrick meanwhile turned his head to face Lainey never removing his hand from Robin's hair. "Tell me about what happened." Lainey requested softly. To her surprise it was Robin and not Patrick who answered her.
"They took my babies." Robin burst out before breaking into heart wrenching sobs. Patrick pulled her to him and rocked her back and forth not noticing the tears sliding down his face. Lainey lost track of how long she sat there, the only sounds permeating the cast silence were the Robin's sobs as she fought for control. Just as Robin's sobs turned into silent tears which traced a solemn path along her face the door to the lounge opened and in burst Anna Devane and Robert Scorpio. Anna and Robert headed across the lounge to Patrick and Robin. Lainey discreetly got up and led left the family together, just as she reached the door Noah entered. Lainey gave him a sad smile and indicated her head to where Anna was kneeling in front of her daughter holding her hand, while Robert sat next to the couple speaking softly. Noah headed quickly over to them pulling up a chair next to his son.
"I am so sorry, Darling." Anna murmured softly as Patrick shifted robin off his lap moving her toward her father who wrapped an arm around his daughter. Robin promptly buried her head in his arm and burst into hysterical sobbing. Patrick hesitated but when Anna nodded at him followed his father to a couch on the other side of the room leaving Anna and Robert to comfort their heartbroken daughter. "We'll get them back, Sweetheart, I promise you, and whoever did this will pay." Robert vowed, Robin gave no indication that she heard her father's words of comfort.
Patrick…
"My kids are gone, Dad, they're gone." Patrick whispered staring blankly at his hands. Noah stared sadly at his son wishing more then anything that he could make this all right for him.
"You're Mother is watching over them and she will keep them safe until you can hold them in your arms again, and you will get them back, Patrick." Noah told his son fiercely wanting more then anything for this all to never have happened, for his son to have his children safely in his arms, for everything to be okay once more.
Robin…
"The house was destroyed." Robin whispered causing both hr parents to look up in shock. "We fought out way through the mess up the stairs and we found their rooms empty. Maddie's crib was overturned, but I couldn't find her, no matter how hard I looked I couldn't ind her. Teddy's favorite bear's head was pulled off, my little boy si out there all alone and the only thing that makes him feel safe is destroyed, and I can't protect him. Do you remember the wrist watch with tape recording capabilities and GPS satellite that you gave Robbie?" Robin said abruptly.
"Yeah, he loved that thing." Anna said fondly.
"I've never seen him without it." Robert added.
"He doesn't have it now. My babies are all alone with no one to keep them safe." Robin murmured before falling silent once more.
A/N Review please! This chapter made me sad.
