Chapter Ten

Patrick found it hard to sleep. He kept thinking of Amberlee crying out for help. He could see some monster hurting her.

"No, stop." Patrick screamed as he jerked out of bed.

Sitting up Robin looked over at him.

"Patrick what's wrong?" Robin asked.

"It was a nightmare." Patrick said. "A really bad nightmare."

"Tell me about it." Robin said.

"Ok, but first I have to tell you something about Amberlee." Patrick said.

"Is something wrong, did a test come back with bad news?" Robin asked.

"Well, yes." Patrick said. "But is was a test Kelly did."

"Kelly?" Robin asked.

"Yes, Bobbie and Epiphany noticed some bruising and they called for Kelly. She did an exam and Amberlee has been molested, Robin. Not just once, but it looks like several times."

"Who would do that to a child?" Robin asked. "A sweet little girl?"

"I don't know." Patrick said. "But she is safe now, Robin she can get the help she needs."

"Ok, good." Robin said trying to think and digest everything all at once. Looking up she saw the sadness in his eyes. "Patrick, what are you thinking?"

"I just think it is sad. You have a child just to hurt her like that. It makes me wonder where she came from." Patrick said blinking back the tears.

"You want to kill whoever did this." Robin said.

"I do." Patrick said. "I think it is so horrible that a person could do this. They must not have a heart or soul."

"Patrick baby people like that are monsters, don't try to understand them. Right now Amberlee is safe and we cam make sure she remains safe." Robin said as he looked both angry and mad.

"No one is ever going to hurt her again." Patrick said.

"Come here." Robin said enveloping him in her arms. She had him as the anger, fear and every other emotion he was feeling had passed. Patrick had fallen asleep so Robin laid him in the bed and walked down the hall. Looking in on several people she wondered when they would be called for the next wave of injured people.

"A penny for your thoughts." Sonny said handing her a shiny penny.

"Why aren't you home?" Robin asked.

"Because my baby girl is in that room." Sonny said. "I am not leaving her."

"Oh, Noah said Kristina was doing better." Robin said.

"She is, but I know when something is on your mind." Sonny said. "So I paid, so fess up."

"Patrick and I split because I wanted kids and he didn't." Robin said taking a seat. "Now we are back together and I am not sure. That little girl in there was left on the docks. She was caught in the explosion yesterday. We just found out whoever left her on the docks abused her."

"Some one hit her?" Sonny asked.

"I am sure it was part of it." Robin said. "Someone did the unthinkable."

"You mean someone…"

"Yes." Robin said. "Patrick is so heart broken over it."

"Sometimes when you meet someone they grab your heart. Sometimes you don't know it until something happens and then there is no going back."

"I know." Robin said. "But Patrick was so against children, but to seem him in this much pain over one he doesn't know, it confuses the hell out of me."

"I ran into Patrick a few weeks back. I was playing with Kristina on the swings in the park. We had just had ice cream and cocoa at Kelly's. We talked, he wants kids Robin, he is just so unsure about how to be a father. I told him I didn't know how to be a father or if I was going to be one, but I have three kids that I love more then this world and I am a good father. You never know how things are going to go, but hearing their heart beat on the monitor, holding them for the first time and knowing this little life loves you more then it knows is amazing. Patrick is going to be a good dad to any child, but he will be a great dad to any child that you are a mother too."

"Thanks." Robin said smiling as her beeper went off.

"That is the ER, I guess the next explosion hit." Robin said.

"I am trying to find him to stop him." Sonny said.

"Do it fast." Robin said setting off at a run. Meeting up with Patrick they headed to the ER.

After hours and hours of working on person after person Robin finally sat in a chair in the now cleared waiting room. Coming over and sitting next t her Emily laid her head on her shoulder.

"I am so tired." Emily said. "And Spencer was crying when I left."

"Well go home." Robin said.

"I have to work my shift now." Emily said.

"I will cover for you for a few hours. Go home, shower, hold your baby and kiss your guys." Robin said. "Come in with four hours left to work and we will be good."

"Are you sure?" Emily asked.

"Yes go." Robin said.

"Thanks." Emily said getting up. See you at two."

Robin nodded as Emily ran out the door.

"Dr. Scorpio, a phone call on line one." A nurse at the station called.

Getting up Robin walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello this is Dr. Scorpio." Robin said. "Hello, is anyone there?"

The phone went dead a second later.

"What's wrong?" Patrick asked coming up as she hung up the phone.

"I got a call, but when I said hello know one was there." Robin said.

"Oh, well how about we get out of here." Patrick suggested.

"I said I would cover for Emily for half her shift." Robin said.

"Oh, well then why don't I go take a nap and we can switch off in two hours and then we can switch and you can take a nap." Patrick said.

"Why don't you just go home and we can meet up for dinner if we aren't back here." Robin said.

"Robin, Patrick." Sonny said coming up.

"What's going on?" Robin asked.

"Anthony was found dead after the last explosions. It looks like Johnny was caught in in and died. Anthony took his own life." Sonny said. "But Port Charles still isn't safe. Right now the only cleared place is GH, so please stay here."

"Ok." Robin said. "We will stay here."

"Thanks." Sonny said walking off talking on his cell.

"Well do you want the first half or second?" Patrick asked.

"First." Robin said. "Go rest, I will see you in two hours."

"Ok." Patrick said stealing a kiss before walking away.
