Robin Scorpio looked at all the gifts she had received around the living room in Patrick's and her home that Patrick and her had unwrapped together while everyone had watched. The living room was filled with gifts. Patrick had taken her for some ice cream and then had also taken a walk in the park while Elizabeth, Lucky, Nikolas, Brenda, Sonny, and Jax had set up the baby shower theme. The colors had matched her daughter's room, filling with light blue and silver colors.
There were even baby blue and silver balloons filling the room. There was a silver banner in blue letters saying 'Robin and Patrick's Baby Shower' and had blue and silver streamers hanging from the banner. The plates and cups were white and blue, having stars on them, and that just made it special.
"Thank you, baby," Robin said, as she looked at Patrick when she sat down on his lap, and she smiled sweetly when he placed his hand on her belly, trying so hard to not think of today's events.
"Every pregnant woman deserves to have a baby shower," Patrick said, kissing behind her ear, as he held her close.
Patrick followed Robin's eyes around the room at the gifts that had been opened by the duo. They had played many games and acted games out, which kept everyone busy. They had played baby hot potato, baby song musical chairs, pack your bags, charades, guess the baby, diaper race, and they had even done a couple of scavenger hunts. Her favorite games had to been the 'Alphabet Baby Name', 'Baby Animal', 'Guess Mommy's Girth' 'Name Scramble', and the 'Don't Say Baby' games. But things had went downhill for a little bit.
Robin looked at Patrick's list and raised an eyebrow in disbelief. She had to stifle her lap, as she shook her head to the answers that displayed over the white piece of paper of the crossword. She knew he was only trying to be difficult and she knew it was aggravating everyone, especially Robin and Elizabeth.
Shaking her head, Robin through the piece of paper and pen down, and she glared at Patrick. "I want to play something different since Mackenzie's father is making my brain hurt. He will pay later."
"You just don't like my game, Robin," Patrick frowned, as he watched everyone through their paper and pen down on the table. "And this is what I get for trying to come up with a game. Just wait until you guys lose. Let's just play Alphabet Baby Name. That sounds like something I can win at."
"That sounds like a decent name, but to make it interesting, you guys have to come up with a name in less than seven seconds, and whoever is here, you cannot use anyone's name," Brenda said with excitement in her voice when she heard everyone groan. "Oh please!"
"Alexander."
"Brendan."
"Cynthia."
"Devin."
"Emerald."
"Florence."
"Georgia."
"Heidi."
"Irene."
"Jasmine."
Everyone then turned to Patrick, who flashed everyone a big smile on his face.
"Kanika. K-A-N-I-K-A, Kanika," Patrick said with a smug smile, as he leaned back against the couch. "I like this game."
"That's not a name… is it?" Ian asked, as he raised an eyebrow.
"No, it can't be," Elizabeth said, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Unfortunately, it is!" Brenda frowned, as she looked at Patrick with a scowl on her face, and she let an aggravated sigh leave her lips. "It means an atom or a particle."
"Of course it had to be something to do with science," Jax said with a glare in his eyes. "Do us all a favor and not mention any names like that again. "Fine."
"Anyway, let's go. Lindsay," Robin said with a proud smile on her face.
"Melanie."
"…Quincy."
"Ricardo."
"Steven."
"Travis."
"…Valerie."
"…Xander."
"…Zoey."
Everyone looked at Patrick and he sighed. Ever since they hadn't even been happy with his creativeness, he came up with the simplest name ever.
"Ava," He said without giving it a second thought.
"Oh, come on Patrick," Robin frowned, as she looked at her boyfriend. "I know you can come up with something better than that."
"Nope, that's my answer. It's your turn."
"Benny."
"Chelsea."
"…Guy."
"Henry."
"… Jacob."
"… Lucas."
"…Panthea," Patrick said, as he felt eyes on his. "What? I say one name that's creative, then I say another name that's too boring, and then I mention another creative name, and… I'm out of here. I just cannot be here right now when I keep on getting picked on!"
Robin frowned, as she watched him walk to their bedroom. Something had been bothering him lately and she wasn't sure what was going on. She looked at her friends and family and she excused herself. She followed Patrick, who was looking at a picture of Taylor, Robin, and himself at the park a few weeks ago.
"Patrick…"
"Robin, you shouldn't be here. You should be out with your friends and family," Patrick said, as he looked away from her, and he let a deep breath leave his lips. "I'm fine. I'm really fine."
"No, you aren't, baby," Robin said, as she moved her body away from the door after shutting it behind her, and she sat down on his lap. "What's going on?"
Patrick sighed, as he looked into her eyes with his teary eyes. He wasn't even sure how she was going to react to this but he knew he had to tell her. This just wasn't the way he wanted to tell Robin about what was going on, especially after both Taylor and him had moved in.
"Well, something has happened," Patrick sighed, as he ran a hand through his hair, and he took a deep breath. "Kennedy and Rachel's parents are filing for custody for Taylor."
Robin ran a hand through her hair and she sighed. She slid off of Patrick's lap and grabbed the picture of the three of them from the table. Rachel's parents had come by earlier to get Taylor. The house felt so empty and she felt like the smallest person in the world even though she had been feeling like a whale now.
"We'll get him back, baby," Patrick sighed, as he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close. "We will get Taylor back if it's the last thing I will do."
