Robert blanched. "You.. You're. HIV. No Robin."
"It's true. The virus is under control and I've been living with it for almost 10 years now."
"How?" Robert whispered.
"I got it from my boyfriend. He dated a girl what was a drug user he didn't know he had it."
"What. What happened to him."
"He died... from AIDS."
"Oh luv I'm so sorry." Robert pulled her into his arms.
"I loved him so much."
"You must have needed us so much then."
"I did, but you guys were always with me. Right before Stone died, you and mom came to me. I don't know if it was a vision, or just my mind creating what I needed, but you were there. But I am okay now, I've made a very good life for myself."
"What do you do? I've imagined all of the possibilities over the years."
"I'm a world class super spy." Robin laughed, as Robert's face blanched. "I'm just kidding, I'm a doctor."
"My little girls a doctor!" Robert beamed with pride.
"Yeah, and not to brag but I'm the top in my field."
"Well that doesn't surprise me one bit, you always were an overachiever."
"I've missed you dad."
"Oh Robin I missed you too."
Suddenly Robin jumped up. "Oh god Uncle Mac, we have to call him!"
"Hold on there luv, it's really early in good old Port Chuck, little bothers probably asleep."
"I guess you're right. Dad he's missed you so much."
"I missed him too."
"He took care of me you know. Uncle Sean, had to leave Port Charles right before Stone died."
"Why'd Sean have to leave."
|"Luke shot him." Robin said simply."
"He did what?"
"Relax it was an accident."
"How the hell did Spencer manage to screw up that badly?"
" Anyway. he and Aunt Tiffany had to leave and they just never came back, and well we all know Frisco couldn't be bothered to stick around." Robin said voice laced with bitterness.
"Luv, I owe Frisco everything, he spent years searching for your mother and I, he was the one who found me."
"Oh. I didn't know that." Anna choose that moment to re enter the room holding a tray of tea.
"So, I was also thinking maybe we could all go visit Port Charles."
Averting his eyes "Sure dad that sounds great."
"Robert, I don't think that's the best idea."
"What is it, why don't you want to go home?"
"A lot happened in Port Charles dad, I haven't been home in a while, but it's time I stop running."
"Any you?" He turned looking at Anna.
"We will talk about it later." She said stiffly.
"Okay."
Just then Robin's phone beeped signaling that it was time for her nightly medication. "Um, I have to take my meds I'll be right back." After a few minutes Robin still hadn't returned, just as Anna was about to go check on her, she emerged, tears in her eyes. "I. I'm sorry, can you please leave. I need to be alone?"
Robert's heart broke at the sight of his daughter. "Robin, we'll go, but I need you to know that I love you, no matter what, and you have never left my mind this past thirteen years."
"I know." She walked over to him, and hugged him. He wiped a tear off her cheek which only served to make her cry harder. "I'll call mom tomorrow, I just need to process."
Anna put her arms around her daughter "I love you so much." She grasped Roberts hand and headed for the door. "Call when you're ready we'll be here."
