Ch. 10
Sabrina let herself be dragged by Patrick until her eyes focused in on Carlos. She didn't notice before but he came in with Felix. She noticed blood on his shirt and knew he was somehow involved in what happened to Felix. She rushed towards him and slapped him. Patrick pulled Sabrina back from Carlos before she got hurt. "You did this! Felix is fighting for his life because of you!" She yelled angrily. She struggled to get of Patrick's grasp. "I promise you Sabrina, I didn't do this. I didn't shoot Felix. We were talking in the pier one minute and then the next thing I know, he's going down. You have to believe me." Carlos explained. "I don't believe you Carlos! Even if you didn't pull the trigger yourself, you did this to him. Ever since you and the Jeromes' came into town, there has been nothing but chaos and danger. I wish you never came to Port Charles because then my best friend, my family wouldn't be fighting for his life right now!" Sabrina exclaimed in a tear filled voice. She released herself from Patrick now and took a step towards Carlos. "If Felix dies, I will personally see to it that you're put away. I will help Anna put you away." She warned. Carlos reached out to touch her. "Don't you dare touch me!" She hissed. "Don't you ever come anywhere me near me or my family ever." She stated in a cold tone.
Sabrina walked away and saw Taylor coming off the elevator. She saw as she frantically asked for her brother. She looked to Patrick who nodded in understanding. "Wait for me here." He said strongly before he approached Taylor. She could hear Taylor scream and cry as Patrick told her what happened to her brother. She couldn't watch any further so she left and went towards the chapel. She walked in and immediately lit a candle for Felix and kneeled. Sabrina cleared her voice. "I'm sorry that I haven't prayed much lately." She started. "My life has turned upside down and instead of coming to you, I turned away from you and I'm sorry." Sabrina cried. "But please, hear me when I say, I need you now more than ever. Please don't take Felix away from us. We still need him. I- I still need him." Sabrina stammered. "Please don't take him." She repeated over and over. She was sobbing uncontrollably now. She felt someone gather her in their arms and knew it was Patrick. He held her and let her cry until she could no longer cry anymore. He felt her pull away from him. "Don't." He whispered. She looked at him as he wiped away her tears. "Don't push me away. Let me be here for you." He said. Sabrina nodded and hugged him tightly as if he was her life force. "I don't think I have the strength to push you away this time. I need you." She whispered softly in his ear. Patrick felt her relax in his arms. He pulled back and helped her stand up. They walked over to the chapel bench and sat down. "Where is Taylor?" She finally asked after a while. "She's calling her and Felix's parents. She's going to come here afterwards." Patrick replied. Sabrina started fidgeting with her hands. Patrick grabbed one and asked "What is it?" "From your professional expertise, do you think that Felix could die?" She asked. "Honestly Sabrina, I don't know. I wasn't in the room so I can't really say." Patrick started. Her shoulders sagged. This wasn't what she wanted to hear. "But I know Felix." He continued. "And he's a fighter. He fights for the people he loves. I think Felix knows that he has people that depend on his friendship, love and support and he's fighting hard to get back to them." Patrick said reassuringly. "I think the mini-Drakes would agree." Patrick joked. He could feel the babies kick where he held Sabrina's hand. Sabrina managed to laugh at the joke but then the tears came streaming down again. She stood up and started pacing. "I won't be able to handle losing him Patrick. I can't lose someone else I care about." She revealed to him. He felt a sting in his heart at her last statement. "We won't lose him." Taylor walked towards Sabrina and embraced her. "We have to stay positive Sabrina. That is the only way Felix will survive. He's always been strong when we needed him to be and now it's our turn. You have to believe that he will be ok." Taylor said assertively. Sabrina nodded. "You're right. If we don't believe in him, then he's already lost to us." Sabrina replied. "My brother is going to survive this and come back to us." Taylor stated. She said it with a sureness that made Sabrina optimistic. They sat down, prayed, and waited. After a while, Patrick noticed that Sabrina was starting to get restless again. He grabbed her hand again without saying anything. "You know, when the babies are moving so much to a point that it keeps me up, Felix sings to them." Sabrina said out of nowhere. Patrick smiled. "And it works. It actually soothes them and they calm down." Sabrina finished. Taylor chuckled. "He used to sing to me when I was little as well and it worked for me as well even though his singing sucks." Taylor murmured. Sabrina grabbed Taylor's hand and squeezed comfortingly.
Suddenly Lucas walked in. He was finally out of surgery with Felix. Sabrina, Taylor, and Patrick stood up. "What happened?" Taylor asked immediately. Lucas smiled. "He's going to be ok. Felix is alive." He announced. Taylor and Sabrina hugged each other as tears of happiness streamed down their faces. Sabrina pulled back and hugged Lucas. "Thank you Lucas. Thank you for saving him." She said. Lucas hugged her back and replied "I have my own selfish reasons to do so." He replied back. "When can we see him?" Taylor asked. "You guys stay here, I'll come get you when they put Felix in a room." Lucas stated. Sabrina and Taylor hugged each other again when Lucas left. "You were right Taylor." Sabrina whispered. Taylor smiled. "I'm going to go call my parents and update them. Come find me when Lucas comes back." She said to Sabrina. "Dr. Drake, look out for baby mama here." Taylor said jokingly. Patrick shook his head and laughed along with Sabrina. "Taylor has definitely been hanging around Felix." Patrick stated. "I know right." Sabrina went to sit down. Patrick sat back next to her. "Thank you for staying with me Patrick. I really appreciate it. I-I don't know what would've happened if-" Patrick cut her off. "It didn't happen. Felix is ok. And I'm glad you let me be here for you." Patrick said looking at her. Sabrina smiled at him.
Lucas came and got them 15 minutes later and led them to Felix's room. Taylor gasped when she saw that he was hooked up to machines. "I know it looks scary Taylor but he's alive. Hold on to that." Lucas explained to a tearful Taylor. He wasn't awake yet so Taylor and Sabrina decided that they would stay with him until he did. Patrick protested with Sabrina that she should go home and rest but Sabrina was adamant about staying. So Patrick had the on call room next door reserved so Sabrina and Taylor could rest comfortably while they waited for Felix to wake up. Taylor was in with Felix while Sabrina and Patrick settled in next door. "Are you sure you don't want to go home and rest. I will call you the moment he's awake." Patrick tried again. "I'm fine Patrick. I have to be here." She said. "Ok." He nodded. "Why don't you try and get some rest then." He stated as he helped over to the bed. Sabrina didn't bother fighting him. She took of her shoes and she got into the bed. Her hands immediately wrapped around her big belly and she sighed tiredly. Patrick pulled up a chair and sat next to bed. "Have you started looking at names for the twins yet?" Patrick asked wanting to get her mind off of what happened tonight. She smiled and nodded. "Have you come up with anything yet?" He asked. She shook her head. "What about you?" She asked him. "Do you want our son to be named after you?" Patrick shook his head. "I want him to be his own person. I can't wait to meet them." He said happily. "Me too. What do you think they'll be like?" She asked tiredly. She was fighting sleep. Patrick reached over and placed a hand on her belly and rubbed it soothingly. The twins immediately responded to him by moving. Patrick smiled. "Well with two good looking people as parents, I'd say our kids our checks out in the looks department." Sabrina smiled with her eyes closed as she listened to him. "But I know that they'll be kind, passionate, and strong like their mother. They will love people and care for them like you." He stated. "They'll do the right thing even if it hurts like their father." Sabrina whispered as she continued. "They will help people and be smart but humble like you. And Emma will teach them everything she knows and they will love her as their big sister." Sabrina whispered. Patrick took in her words. She was asleep now. The twins were still moving against his hand but not active as before. "I promise you two that I will always look out for your mother." He whispered. Patrick stood up and tucked Sabrina in. He brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her on her forehead. Patrick stepped out and checked on Taylor. "Taylor, you can stay next door where you can rest. Sabrina is there now." He whispered to her. She nodded and said "Thanks …for everything. Thanks for being here for us." Taylor said with a smile. "No problem." He said.
