Chapter 14

Robin was sitting on the couch in the living room when Alfred opened the door and smiled at her. "Dr. Drake is here to see you madam."

"Thank you Alfred. Please show him in." Robin took a moment to calm herself before her ex-husband entered the room. She was certain that Patrick was now aware of her marriage to Nikolas and she wasn't sure what mood he would be in.

Patrick strolled into the room as casually as he could. He was still upset about her sudden marriage but he needed to keep his emotions in check – this wasn't about him. It was about getting Robin out of this ridiculous marriage to Nikolas. "Hello Robin."

"Patrick, uh, Emma is at school but if you want to pick her up and take her to dinner after…" Robin wasn't sure why Patrick was there if not to see Emma.

"I actually came to see you but if you don't mind I would love to pick Emma up from school tomorrow and have dinner with her. I miss her – phone calls just aren't the same." He sat down next to her on the couch and handed her a folder. "I have a patient I was hoping you could help me with."

Robin eyed him suspiciously. "Really? You're not here to check up on me or maybe question my recent decisions?"

"Maybe a little bit of the first but if you are talking about your decision to marry Nikolas, no I am not here to question it. I may not like it but I will respect it because I respect you." Patrick reached his hand out to touch her but she pulled away. "I'm sorry."

"Patrick, I know it has been five years since you cheated on me and it obviously led to our divorce but…"

"No it didn't." Patrick could not let her believe that they head divorced over Lisa.

"What do you mean it didn't?" Robin was confused, she couldn't imagine staying with him after he cheated on her.

"We didn't get divorced after Lisa. We found our way back to each other and made our marriage stronger." Patrick stopped speaking – he had already said too much.

"If our marriage was so strong than why are we divorced?"

"You know I have already said more than I should have. You need to remember things on your own." Taking a different tact, Patrick smiled at her. "Speaking of, have you remembered anything yet?"

"I remembered something about Emma." Robin's smile filled her face. "We were at a church and she was wearing a flower girl dress, I don't know whose wedding it was. I was holding her in my arms and then I set her down and we told each other that we loved each other and never stopped. It was only a short memory but it's a start, right?"

Robin was so caught up in telling Patrick what she had remembered that she failed to notice his reaction to the memory. Patrick scooted back from Robin just a little bit, his heart breaking at the realization that soon she would remember where the memory took place – at his wedding to Sabrina. It was a wedding that never should have happened in the first place and was interrupted when Robin, his wife, came back from the dead. Patrick gave Robin a weak smile. "That's great Robin."

Patrick's reaction worried her – she thought he would be happy about this. "What's wrong – is it not a real memory?"

"No it's a real memory." Patrick stood up and began pacing the room.

"Do you remember the rest of what happened or whose wedding it was?" Robin really wanted to have the complete memory.

Patrick took a deep breath and looked at her. "I do."

Those two words triggered something in Robin's brain. She looked at Patrick and gasped. "Oh my God – it was your wedding. You were marrying someone else."

"Robin please…" Patrick hated the pain that he was causing her.

"Please go." Robin choked back a sob as she turned away from him. "I'll review your file and see you tomorrow when you bring Emma home but I need you to leave now."

Patrick sat down by her again and took her hand in his. "Robin, please understand…"

"I believe my wife asked you to leave." Nikolas walked into the room and placed his hand on Robin's shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Robin nodded her head. "I, I just need to lie down." She started to stand up but dizziness overtook her.

Nikolas caught her as she started fall over. "Robin?"

Patrick went into doctor mode as he began checking on his ex-wife. "Hold her still." He felt for her pulse and it was racing. "Has this happened before?"

"A couple of times, usually when she gets upset or has a memory. Is that what happened? Did she remember something?" Nikolas was worried that Robin would get her memory back before he could finish his plans.

"She remembered my wedding to Sabrina. Not exactly my best day. I think we need to get her to GH and get her checked out." Patrick reached for her but Robin pulled away from him.

"No, I'm fine – just a little overwhelmed." Robin opened her eyes. "This may happen sometimes when a memory hits me and Dr. Briggs said it is to be expected. All I want to do right now is lay down."

Nikolas helped Robin up off the couch as Patrick kept a close eye on her. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Robin leaned on Nikolas as he helped her out of the room. "I need to take care of Robin. I believe you know your way out Dr. Drake."

"Yes. Robin, I will check on you later." Nikolas threw Patrick a quick glare. "If that is alright with you?"

Robin flashed Patrick a small smile. "That will be fine. Goodbye Patrick." Nikolas led Robin to the staircase as Patrick headed to the front door.

"Goodbye Robin." Patrick left the house and headed to launch. He needed to get to the hospital, he was on shift tonight. Once he was safely off the island he pulled out his phone to make a call. Mac needed to know what had happened today and that Robin was getting her memory back.

"What do we have?" Patrick had been called into the ER for an unconscious woman found in the park.

Epiphany rattled off the facts as they hurried to the Trauma Room. "Unconscious female, mid-to-late 20's, unresponsive. She was found in the park by a maintenance worker, EMT said there were no visible signs of trauma."

"Do we know who she is?" There was a possibility that her medical records were on file at GH which would help them in diagnosing her.

"No ID." Epiphany and Patrick entered the room and walked over to the gurney to examine their patient. "Oh my God."

Patrick took a moment and then looked at Epiphany. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"Yes I am – I don't know how, but I am."

Patrick looked back at the patient and touched her, making sure she was real. Taking a deep breath, he began his exam. "Epiphany I need you to call…"

Epiphany interrupted him. "Already on it."

Epiphany ran out of the room while Patrick continued working on the woman lying there in front of him. "How the hell did this happen?"
