Thank You

Sam walked into Robin's room and looked at her. She looked so fragile and innocent. Sam knew that she didn't deserve what happened to her. Robin had been threw enough losing Patrick in that car crash. This on top of everything else is not what she needs.

The doctors had come out a few minutes ago and told everyone that Robin was okay. That she was stable and should be waking up soon. Carly was still trying to get in touch with Mac so that he could bring Emma over to see Robin.

It had been Carly's idea, but Sam had to admit, it was a nice one. Robin would be happy to see Emma. And everyone had heard how much Emma had missed her mom, it was almost heart breaking.

Robin stirred in the bed and groaned. Sam stiffened, not wanting to wake her up. She thought that if she kept silent, Robin wouldn't know that she was there; that she would role over and go back to sleep.

"I know you're there. You might as well come in." Robin said opening her eyes.

Sam smiled at walked into the room slowly. "How are you feeling?"

"Like someone tried to blow me up." Robin tried to joke, but Sam didn't laugh. She just frowned and sat in the chair next to the bed.

"That's not funny." Sam said sadly.

"Too soon?"

Sam nodded at her. Robin looked pale, and tired. "Maybe I should leave to let you sleep." Sam said as she stood up, she felt guilty that Robin had been the one who got hurt the most out of all of them.

"I'm not tired." Robin said quickly. "I would like some company."

She looked up at Sam and smiled sadly. "The last time I was in a hospital bed, I was told that my husband died in our car accident. Please tell me that we have good news this time."

Sam looked down as tears came to her eyes. "I'm sorry about Patrick."

"It's okay. There was nothing anyone could have done, even if he would have let me drive, the accident would have still happened. I know that now." Robin said softly. So softly that Sam almost missed it.

"There IS good news this time. My baby is safe, all because of you. I'm perfectly fine, but have a new scar. And Carly is good too. She was the one who was the most intact. Just a sprained wrist and bruises for her. You were the one who got it the worse though. If Carly hadn't come back for you…" Sam trailed off shaking her head.

"What's wrong?"

"I should have been with her. I should have been right beside her, digging you out."

Robin grabbed her hand, "I'm fine Sam. And I understand why you weren't there. As a matter of fact, I'm glad that you weren't. That bullet wound could have got infected. Because of Carly, we're all safe."

"No, it was because of you." Sam said looking up at Robin. A tear fell. "You saved my life Robin. And there is nothing I can ever do to repay you. My baby is going to live and I owe it all to you."

"I didn't do anything that you wouldn't have." Robin said, trying to comfort the other woman.

Sam shook her head. "If it were me in your position, I wouldn't have chosen to stay behind; I would have used every excuse I had to get out of there, to live. But not you, you were willing to give up your life for us." More tears fell.

"You would have." Robin said with a nod.

Sam wished that she could be as confident in that statement as Robin seemed to be. But there was a doubt in the back of her head that said that she wouldn't have. That Robin was the only one who would WILLINGLY give her life to save the two other women. Sam knew that Carly wouldn't have given her life for them.

"I have more good news." Sam said with excitement.

"What is it?" Robin said, almost excited as Sam.

"When Jason and I were checking to see if the baby was okay." Sam placed her hand on top of her baby bump. It was more pronounced with the change of cloths she was wearing. "We got to see the sex of the baby."

"Really?" Robin smiled.

"It's a girl!" Sam said in excitement. Robin laughed and placed her hand on top of the baby bump. There was no kicking or moving, but just the feeling of the baby under her hand made everything more real to her.

"What are you gonna name her?" Robin asked after a moment. Sam smiled, this was what she had been waiting for. It was a good thing Robin wasn't an Empath, or she would know something was up.

Sam got serious after a moment. "I was thinking of naming her after the woman who saved her life: Robin." She was with a shrug and a hidden smile.

Robin looked up at her with hide eyes. "Are you serious?"

Sam laughed, "There is nothing I want more. Because of you, I get to have this baby."

Robin blinked a couple of times, as if she were trying to make the connection in her brain, it was almost funny. "But-" Robin looked like saw about to put up a fight, like she didn't want to have a baby named after her. Well, she was about to be disappointed.

"It would mean a lot to me. Plus if you think about it, Robin is a strong name. Just like all the woman who wear it." Sam tried to persuade Robin to the dark side.

Robin tried to blink back her tears. "I would be honored to have your daughter named after me."

"Good, because I would have still named her after you regardless of if you wanted it or not." Sam confirmed. Robin laughed.

"Thank you." Robin said after a moment.

"No, thank YOU." Sam said with more force then she really need. Robin ringed at how loud she got, but smiled anyways.

"Without you, we would be dead right now." Carly said as she entered the room. Like Sam, she had changed her cloths and was looking a lot better. Robin was sure that she still had gunk in her hair, dirt under her finger nails, and blood on her face. For some reason, she couldn't make herself care enough to clean it.

"I was just doing what you two would have done if you were in my position." Robin said with false modesty.

"Yeah right. I would never be that unselfish. I would never do something like that and you know it." Carly said as she came and stood beside Sam. "Did you give her the good news?" Carly asked looking at Sam.

"Yes I did. And she agreed, even though she didn't really have a choice in the matter." Carly smiled and looked at Robin.

"I wanted to thank you for willingly trying to give your life to save ours." Carly said after a moment.

"No, thank you for coming back for me." Robin said after a moment. "I really didn't want to die."

"We know." Carly said with a smile. "But you were going to save our lives. I wouldn't have to leave my kids, and Sam could have her baby and be a mother."

"You're a hero." Sam said.

"Not really," at their questioning looks she went on. "Diego still got away."

"ACTUALLY, Mac picked him up just out side of town. He is on his way to prison as we speak."

"Good," Robin said after a moment. Robin looked down for the first time and noticed that she was wearing some of her pajamas from home, her favorite pair. Running a hand threw her hair she realized that it had been washed.

"Oh yeah, Epiphany let us scrub you down." Carly said in an after thought. Sam knew that Carly had cleaned Robin up was so she didn't look like crap when Emma cam in. it was almost nice of her, except for forcing Sam to help.

Looking at Robin smiled and thanked them again, and then she got this far away look in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"I was just thinking about Emma and when I would get to see her again."

"We thought you might be worried about that." Carly said as she moved towards the door. Robin looked at her confused. Carly left the room and returned, holding Emma's hand.

"Mommy." Emma cried and ran towards her.

Robin sat up and caught Emma as she jumped on the bed. "Emma." She said as tears fell down her face.

"I missed you." Emma said sadly, holding on to her tightly.

Robin looked towards the door and saw Jason, Carly and Sam all staring at her. "I missed you too." She said back. "I am never gonna do that again."

"Promise?" Emma asked, pulling away from her so she could look her in the eyes.

"I promise." Emma hugged Robin again. Robin looked at the two women in the door way, "Thank you," she mouthed at the other two women.

They smiled and nodded as they continued to watch Emma and Robin.

Sam put her hand on top of her baby bump as tears came to her eyes from watching Robin and Emma. Jason wrapped his arm around her and she sighed, letting a tear fall.

"A happy ending." She whispered.

"Just what she deserves." Carly nodded with Sam in agreement. On this, both girls were on the same track, there was nothing more beautiful then a happy ending and being able to see it with their own eyes.

"Mom?" They heard Michael call from down the hall. Sam turned in time to see Carly hug Michael tightly. Morgan right behind them. Jacks had Josslyn in his arms and he had just turned the corner. They all hugged and kissed, then slowly made their way back towards Robin's hospital room.

Emma had fallen asleep already and Robin was rubbing her back.

"Come on in." Robin said rolling her eyes. Everyone came into the small room.

"What you did was really cool." Morgan said in awe. He stood next to Robin's bed and was holding his moms hand.

Robin laughed softly, "Thanks."

"Thank you, for saving Carly and Sam's life." Jacks said with warmth in his voice. "I'm really glad that you all got out safely."

"They saved mine too." Robin said with a shrug. Sam had a feeling that she didn't take this much praise that well, she was going to have to get used to it. Sam was going to remind Robin of what she had done for them.

"She's being modes." Sam said sitting in the chair next to the bed.

"Not really." Robin said, feeling uncomfortable.

"Whatever happened, you got my mom out of there alive, I owe you one." Michael said after a moment.

"You owe her a lot more than one," Jason joked. There was a lot of history with Robin saving Michael's life and if he was counting on how many times Robin saved someones life that Michael carried about, then he owed her more then just one. Sam smiled to herself.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll be coming to collect." Robin laughed again.

"Someone needs to be changed. I'll be right back." Jacks said. Morgan followed after him, saying that he wanted to go get his iPod.

"I'm going to go talk to that kid; he's still here." Jason said moving towards the door.

"Be nice," Sam called after him. "He helped save our lives." Carly laughed and shook her head, like Jason KNEW how to be nice to people who threatened those he cared about, even if in the end they chose to help them.

Michael's phone started to ring. "Its dad, I'm going to go take this." Michael moved into the hallway. Carly watched him go and sighed.

"Man, do we know how to clear a room?" Robin joked.

Sam smiled, "You should just give up."

This caused Robin to laugh harder. "Maybe later."

They sat in silence for a while. It was a comfortable silence, not something that they felt had to be broken by words or meaningless chatter. They were content to be silent.

Sam looked at the two other women and knew that their lives were forever going to be drawn to one another. What happened with Diego was enough to bond them forever.

If there was anyone Sam wanted to be close friends with it would be Robin. And after seeing Carly rush back to save Robin, she was glad to call her a friend as well.

The girls smiled at each other and then turned to watch Emma as she woke up and stared to play with her doll.

Yeah, Sam thought, their lives were forever going to be connected. Never were they going to forget what happened. They will always have this to bond them together. And for some reason, Sam didn't mind.
