Robin's been hiding the fact that she did not go to the sperm bank but that Patrick's actually the father of her child… their child. She hasn't told him for several reasons, and if he finds out, she feels he'll only feel obligated to be there for their child together. Patrick's been suspecting that Robin's carrying his child, especially since the day he found out that the condom broke. What happens when Patrick finally asks her if he is the father of her baby?

Author's Note: Can I just say how much I loved Patrick yesterday on General Hospital how he treated Claudia? I loved the GH scene today. It was a really good episode. I just know there's going to be a lot of pushing and pulling from each other. I also loved how he got a chance to take her home. Well, there is a little angst in this chapter, but I promise it's not too bad. Read on.

Robin stared at Patrick, as she wasn't exactly sure what to say. She had thanked him too many times to count about giving her his baby blanket to give to their child. It was probably one of the nicest gestures he had done ever since he found out she was in fact carrying his child.

"Hey," Patrick said, as he took a seat next to her, and he looked into her dark chocolate eyes. "Are you all right? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Robin blushed, as she shook her head. "No, I've just been thinking a lot, actually… about the baby and how you really do want this. I mean, you do want this, right?"

Patrick nodded his head. "Yes, I really do. I am nervous, excited, scared, and just so thrilled that I am the father of your baby."

"I just know you're going to be a wonderful father," Robin whispered, as she lifted her head to look at him, and she rubbed the back of her neck. "I just hope that this is for real, Patrick, and---"

"Robin, please don't start this again. All I want is for you to understand that I am not going to leave you or our child. I really want to show you," Patrick told her, as he grabbed her hand.

"I know," Robin said with a faint smile on her face. "I am just scared and terrified. Can you blame me? You were a man that didn't want a child and you're a completely different man."

Patrick took hold of both of her hands into his and he kissed the top of her head. "I would never leave you or our child, Robin."

"So, it is true?"

Robin sighed, as she heard Leyla's voice. This was something that she didn't need right now, especially since she knew that the nurse was madly in love with Patrick.

"Nurse Mir, do you need something?" Patrick asked, as he continued to look at Robin. "Because I am really busy talking to Dr. Scorpio right now."

Leyla frowned, as she heard the coldness in his voice. "I just cannot believe it… but it's true. Robin's carrying the child that you never wanted…"

Patrick snapped his head around so that he was looking at Leyla. He placed his hand on the small of Robin's back, stroking it in small circles. "Nurse Mir, I would advise you to get back to work right now. This is none of your business."

"But---"

"Nurse Mir, you heard Dr. Drake. Get back to work or I will have you change every bedpan on this floor! Now go!" Epiphany yelled, as she glared at the young nurse.

"Thank you so much, Epiphany," Robin said, as she watched the head nurse walk away from the two, and she looked up into his eyes with a bright smile upon her face. "I am so thankful for Epiphany being here today, Patrick."

Patrick nodded his head, as he nodded his hand. "I agree with you on that. What would we do without Nurse Johnson?"

Robin shrugged her shoulders. "I am not even sure what to do without her when she is off of work."

It had been a few weeks since the whole Leyla intrusion. The nurse hadn't spoken a word to either Patrick or Robin and Robin was relieved. The last thing she needed was to have some problems going on during her pregnancy. She knew that Leyla wasn't pleased that she was carrying Patrick's baby but Robin really didn't care right now. All she cared about was having a stress-free pregnancy. She didn't need any drama from anyone, especially Leyla Mir.

"What are you thinking about?"

Robin heard the voice behind her, and she quickly turned around, thinking she was dreaming or something, as she just could not even believe her eyes.

"Brenda, oh my God! What… How? Oh my God!" Robin squealed, as she threw her arms around her best friend's neck. "What are you doing here?"

Brenda grinned, as she motioned to Patrick, who was talking to Mike at the counter in Kelly's. "I received a phone call from a mysterious neurosurgeon, Robin."

Robin blushed, as she settled her hand upon her belly. "Are you telling me that Patrick did this? He called you down here?"

Brenda giggled, as she sat down next to her. "Yes, he said that you had a surprise for me, and I have been dying to know what it is. What's my surprise?"

Robin giggled at her best friend's eagerness. "Well, I guess you are bound to find out, anyway, but I'm pregnant, and Patrick's the father."

Brenda gasped in amazement. "My little sister's pregnant? Oh!"

Robin blushed, as she watched Patrick come back to their table with their food.

"Thank you so much, Patrick. I've been trying to find Brenda for months. How--- How did you even do this?"

Patrick grinned, as he looked at her. "Spinelli."

"Thank you so much," Robin said, as she turned to Brenda, who sat down next to her. "I am so glad that you are here. I need my best friend during this besides Patrick."

Brenda grinned happily, as she looked in between the two of them. "I'm honored, really. Now, Robin and I can go shopping for the cutest baby clothes."

"Oh no, I am staying behind, and---"

"Uh, uh, buster," Brenda said, as she looked at Patrick. "With you as the father of the baby, you are definitely tagging along. You get to hold the bags.""

"She's right," Robin said, as she flashed him a dimpled smile, and then took a apricot into her mouth.

"Why are you two ganging up on me? I thought you two could catch up… without me being there," Patrick said, as he looked at them both. "You could spend some quality time together."

Brenda looked at Robin with a raised eyebrow. "Is he always like this?"

Robin laughed and nodded her head, as she looked at Patrick. "Unfortunately, yes, he is, but that's why I love Patrick Drake."

Realizing what Robin said, he looked at her, and he watched her turn her head quickly away from him. He smiled to himself and he was very satisfied.

'She still loves me. I knew it,' Patrick thought, as he took a bite of his burger.
