That same night, Robert is reading to Emma in her room as Anna goes into their bedroom to get ready for bed. Anna is in the bathroom when Robert comes in with 2 wines glasses and a bottle of wine. He immediately closes their door and sees that Anna is in the bathroom brushing her teeth. She is standing there in her boxer shorts and a tank top with her hair in a ponytail. She always wears something like this when Emma is with them. Usually they both wear nothing to bed. He walks up behind her and places his arms around her as she is wiping her face with a towel. She smiles at him in the mirror and leans into him. "Is she asleep? She asks. "She is completely out. I think we created a monster. She never wants to leave here." He says laughing. She laughs too. " I know I feel bad. She should be spending this time with her parents." Anna replies. "Don't worry we will talk to her tomorrow about it." He says. She nods as she looks at him.
His hands are now caressing her. She closes her eyes at his touch. One of his hands go to her breast while his other hand has slipped into her boxers. He immediately finds her ready and she moans at what he is doing to her. He quickly brings her to climax and kisses her while she rides out the waves. They both are looking at each other in the mirror as Robert slides her boxers down, frees himself and enters her smoothly. He is watching her reactions in the mirror as he begins thrusting against her. Her eyes are closed as she is overwhelmed by the sensations. He kisses her neck as he brings one of her legs back to gain a better angle. They are both moaning now as they stare at each other in the mirror while Robert then moves his hand between her legs where they are joined, she quickly reaches her release again letting out a loud guttural moan as her head falls back on his shoulder. Robert continues to thrust against her as his release his fast approaching. Anna bends over more as Robert places his hands on her hips. She watches him in the mirror and is completely aroused again. He reaches climax with a low moan and he hugs her tight as they both come down. They look at each other in the mirror and smile. Robert disengages and moves back as she turns in his arms and kisses him deeply. "I love you." He says as he kisses her neck and then bends down and brings her boxers back to where they were. "And I love you, so much." They hug each other for a little while and then Anna goes into the bedroom and heads to bed while Robert gets ready for bed in the bathroom.
She thinks about them and what just happened and she is still amazed at the effect they have on each other. Their sex life was always so powerful, and she realizes how she truly missed it. She has never felt this way before or since and she is so thankful that she is able to experience it again. She has thought about him this way many times over the years and she would remember with vivid clarity the times they were together in the beginning and when they remarried. She had always hoped they would find their way back to each other, but she tells herself they finally did, and she has never been happier.
It's the next morning and Robert had decided he will be working from home in the morning. He hears his alarm go off and its 6am. Anna is laying across his chest and he smiles. He caresses her head and she awakens since she also heard the alarm. "Hmmm. Glad you didn't have to go in early today." She says hugging him tighter. "Me too. There is nothing better in this world than holding you like this." He replies. She smiles. She looks up at him and smiles. "Good morning." She kisses him and lays her head back down. "Wanna make it a better morning." He says rolling them over so she is underneath him. He kisses her and then kisses her neck and attempts to pull her tank top up. "Robert we can't Emma is probably up and she'll be knocking on our door any second." She says smiling at him. "Its too early for her." He says while kissing her breast and attempting to remove her boxers and underwear. She laughs. "Guarantee she knocks on our door any second asking Grandpa to watch cartoons with her." She says but losing the resolve to protest as she is trying to get Robert's t-shirt off of him. They are kissing with intent now and suddenly they hear a loud bang on their door. They both jump at the sound and Robert says. "Is that it? Are we done?" Anna laughs at him and then they hear "Grandpa can I come in? Its time for your favorite, Bugs Bunny is on." They adjust themselves and Anna says, "You can come in sweetie."
Emma comes running in and jumps on their bed. "Where's the remote?" She asks when she settles between them. Anna finds it on her nightstand and hands it to Emma. She expertly finds the channel. They stay that way for a half hour as Anna watches the two of them laugh to Bugs Bunny. When its over Emma turns to Anna and asks, "Are you and Grandpa married?" Emma asks. "Well kind of. We were married and maybe someday we will be officially married again." Anna says looking at Robert who smiles at her with a little bit of surprise. Emma thinks about this, she thinks she understands. "Will your name be Anna Scorpio, like Mommy's is?" Anna laughs, she hasn't thought about it. She looks at Robert who has his eyebrows raised. "Maybe, or maybe it will be like your Mommy. Anna Devane-Scorpio." Anna says. "Wow I really like that." "So, do I baby, so do I." Anna says hugging her. "Listen, we want to talk about last night. Why were you so upset when you came here? You know your Mommy and Daddy want you to spend as much time as possible with them since they love you so much and miss you when you are gone." Anna says. "I know, I just love being here with you and Grandpa, you are so much fun and you make me laugh all the time." Anna smiles, she says "I know, that's because Grandpa is a clown and he spoils you but your Mommy and Daddy want you with them as much as possible okay. Just think about that." Anna says hugging Emma.
It is later the same day as Anna is in her office getting ready to leave. Her and Robert have plans tonight and she wants to make sure she doesn't miss it this time. Because of both their work schedules and Emma they really haven't had time in the evenings to go out together as a couple. Tonight Robert promised her wining and dining and maybe dancing, if "she plays her cards right" which is exactly they way he put it. She had decided today as part of her plan, after Robert left with Emma, that she would put her engagement ring on. She wants to see what Robert's reaction will be when he sees it. She has decided, she is tired of waiting. She hears a knock on the door, assuming its Robert. "Come in." She says. It's Dante. He sees she's wrapping up and was reaching for her coat when he came in. "Another body was found." He hands her the report. It makes the 4th victim in less than 2 months. They both look at each other and know Port Charles has a serial killer on their hands. She sighs. "Same MO?" She asks reading. "Yup, I think we need to get in front of this with the press before it gets out of hand." Anna nods in agreement. Another woman, another hooker brutally sexually assaulted, killed and dumped in the harbor. These poor women, why is this happening? Anna thinks to herself.
At the docks, Anna and Dante converse with the officers on the pier ensuring any evidence is gathered and logged and that again all camera footage along the docks is analyzed. Anna and Dante walk over to the body. Its in bad condition but looks the same as the others. Late 20's, early 30's, brown hair, brown eyes petite. They talk with the coroner and he details that what he can see there is evidence of sexual assault and that this woman like the others has ligature marks around the wrists and ankles. As Anna is putting on the latex gloves, Dante notices the diamond ring on her left hand. He whispers to her for her ears only, "I see congratulations are in order." He says smiling at her. "I'll let you tomorrow." She says smiling back. Dante looks at her confused but then they get back to work.
