Chapter 10

After Patrick told Sabrina that he never stopped loving her he waited for her to say something, but she stayed quiet. He couldn't really blame her, he had just told her that he was divorcing Robin and still loved her in a matter of minutes. He knew he should have waited to tell her how he was feeling, that he had overwhelmed her with the complete craziness that his life was. But since it was out, he didn't regret it, he was glad she knew how he felt, he just wished she would say something! "Sabrina, please say something," Patrick practically begged.

"Patrick, I…" Sabrina started to say, but then stopped.

"I'm sorry, I know that was a lot to absorb in just a few minutes, but…" Patrick said trying to back track.

"Patrick," Sabrina said interrupting him. "Do you remember earlier, when I told you that it hurt to see you living the life we had planned?"

"Of course," Patrick said, wondering where she was going with this.

"The reason it hurt so badly was because I never really had the chance to move on. I found out I was pregnant so quickly after losing you and literally had a growing reminder of how much we had loved each other. I would imagine how different things would have been if our wedding had been completed. I'd picture us on our honeymoon, me needing to throw up all the time, thinking I got some kind of food poisoning or something, only to find out that we were pregnant instead and how excited we would be. When I'd see you with your wife and Emma it forced me back to reality."

"Sabrina, I'm going to need you to spell it out for me. What are you saying?"

"Patrick, I never stopped loving you either," Sabrina said unable to stop the tears from coming. She couldn't believe that she admitted that to Patrick, but she trusted that he was being honest with her and wanted to treat him the same.

Patrick was relieved. After everything that happened, that wasn't the response he was expecting from her, but it was the one he was hoping for. He let go of Sabrina's hand and moved it to her face, where he wiped away her tears. "Please don't cry, I don't want to cause you to cry anymore," Patrick said as he leaned forward and kissed Sabrina's forehead taking in the smell of her shampoo. Pulling back, he looked her in the eyes and as she looked back he couldn't resist his desire to feel her lips on his anymore.

After Patrick kissed her forehead he pulled away and looked directly into Sabrina's eyes. She swore that she saw a familiar look there, but she still couldn't believe everything that had transpired over the last few minutes. Her head knew her heart wasn't ready to let him back in, but as he leaned back to her she succumbed to her feelings and leaned in to meet him. As their lips met, she closed her eyes and let herself get lost in how amazing it felt to have Patrick's lips on hers again. As she kissed him, she forgot all the pain and heartache that filled the last eight months and enjoyed the moment.

Kissing Sabrina was better than Patrick remembered. He had let go of everything that had previously prevented him from fully being hers and was astonished by how incredible it felt to be kissing her. He didn't have doubt in his mind that he was right to tell Sabrina that he had never stopped loving her. As he slowly pulled away, he just hoped she felt the same way.

"Patrick," Sabrina said still trying to comprehend everything that happened tonight. "That was… I can't believe that just happened," Sabrina said with a smile.

Patrick smiled back at Sabrina, taking her hand again. "That sounds familiar…"

Sabrina laughed. "I know, it's just when I came home a few days ago, I never expected the last fifteen minutes to ever happen. Don't get me wrong, hearing you tell me you still love me is incredible. But Patrick, while I haven't stopped loving you, you just filed for divorce a few days ago… When you chose Robin it broke my heart and losing Gabriel crushed whatever was left. I don't think there is enough left to handle losing you again."

"Sabrina, I know that I hurt you. I know that we can't just go back to the way things were and pretend the last eight months never happened. We loved and lost a child together and as hard as that was and still is, we are closer because of it. I don't expect you to forget how much I hurt you, but I love you and I hope that you still trust me enough to give me the chance to prove it to you."

"You're right. We can't just forget the last eight months never happened. I'm not the same person I was then. I deserve better than to be second best, to be the person someone settles for."

"You're right, you deserved so much more than I gave you. There was always a piece of my heart that I wouldn't give you, but when I kissed you before I realized that I had let go of everything that stopped me from giving it you before."

"Patrick, this is all happening so fast. I need some time," Sabrina said, her entire world had flipped in the last twenty minutes and she needed to try to make sense of it all. Something that was impossible to do with Patrick staring at her. It was taking all her self-control not to go to him. "I should go," Sabrina said as she stood from the couch. She grabbed her bag and headed to the door.

"Okay, I get it. I know I threw a lot at you tonight. But, please think about it." Patrick said.

After shutting the door, Patrick headed back to the couch and couldn't help but smile. After months of nothing seeming to go his way, he finally felt as though things were falling into place. Spending the night with his daughter and Sabrina was perfect, the only thing that could have made it better would have been for her not to have walked out that door.

Sabrina kept replaying the night over again on her way home. She had never expected to come home and have Patrick tell her that he missed and loved her, she didn't think they would ever be more than friends again. As she opened the door to her and Felix's apartment, she tried to pull herself together as she knew Felix was going to have tons of questions.

"Girl, where have you…" Felix said as Sabrina opened the door, he took one look at her and stopped mid-sentence. "Oh, no. What did Dr. Dreamboat do now?"

"Felix, please, can we not do this?"

"No, we are going to do this Bri. You come home from spending all day with Dr. Drake, the man who broke your heart, looking like he did the same thing to you again… What happened?"

"Oh Fe… I don't even know where to start. Have you seen Patrick lately?"

"No, why?"

"Well I noticed this morning that he wasn't wearing his wedding ring and then we got back to his house and there were no pictures of Robin anywhere."

"That doesn't sound right."

"I know, I thought the same thing. So I asked him what was going on."

"And?" Felix questioned.

"He told me that he filed for divorce a few days ago. And then he told me that he misses me and still loves me."

"Really? See I knew you two were meant to be."

"Felix, he just filed for divorce."

"Yeah, so?"

"So, when Patrick chose Robin he broke my heart. How can I be sure that isn't going to happen again?"

"Bri, I know I didn't know you for very long before you met Dr. Drake, but I've never seen you happier than when you were with him and that beautiful daughter of his. I don't think that there is any guarantee that you won't get hurt again, but you have to decide if it's worth the risk. Besides, if he hurts you again, he's going to have to deal with me."

Sabrina laughed, "Thanks Fe. I don't know what I'd do without you!"

"You'd still have big frizzy hair and no sense of style," Felix said teasing his friend.

"You're right! I'm going to bed, I'll see you in the morning?"

"Absolutely!"

Sabrina headed to her bedroom thinking about what Felix said. She did love Patrick and Emma, but did she love them enough to put her heart out there again?
