Chapter 36

Anna walked down the hall at the hospital, having just had her latest appointment. She smiled seeing him walking towards her. He was here to pick her up. "Well hello, DA Scorpio," she said happily.

"Hi, I knew I was going to need something to do with my time but hadn't imagined it would be DA," he said with a smile as he walked over and kissed her cheek.

"Are you all settled in?"

"Yeah, I officially start work next week." He had taken care of everything and set up his office today so he can just come in and start his day.

"Oh, that works out nicely." Robert had finished moving into her house last weekend and today he had officially accepted the position of DA. Six months ago she never would have imagined they would be here.

"I thought you would appreciate me not working for the next five days."

"I do. We do have a rather important appointment to keep this weekend."

That little twinkle in her eye was so wonderful to see again. Anna is truly happy now and it shows through all the time Robert thinks. "Yes we do and I can't wait to see Robin and her family again."

"Me either," Anna smiled again then put her arms around his neck. "How much time do we have before our flight?"

"Enough time to grab a coffee before we head to the airport. Our bags are already in the car."

"That's good," Anna leaned in and kissed him tenderly. "You better take me to Kelly's then." Robert leaned back and took her hands, smiled and they turned and walked to the elevator.

…

After their plane had landed Robert and Anna went to check into their hotel and were pleased to find out Robin and her family had already checked in. They were in a suite across the hall from Robert and Anna's. It wasn't long after Robert and Anna had settled in that there was a knock at their door. Anna smiled and went to answer it, they were was fairly certain who it would be. "Hi," she said when she opened the door and saw Emma and Noah standing there, "come in." It made Anna so happy seeing them again. It was wonderful that her family was all here for this.

"Hi Gramma, are you settled in yet?" Emma asked.

"Yes, we are." Since she had started dating Robert there had been four trips out to Berkeley to see their family. Some times, with Robert's schedule, it had been easier for them to meet up there, making those visits that much more special. Now that was all changing again. Robert is living in Port Charles with her and she couldn't be happier about that. Robert has a job that will keep him there with her. Anna knew this was finally their time. She smiled watching their grandkids hug Robert then they started talked excitedly.

Anna was also happy for Finn. Finding out about Violet when he had finally gone to talk to Hayden had changed everything for him. He had actual told Anna that he should have listened to her a lot sooner. Even if Finn and Hayden didn't know what the future might hold for them, at least their little girl would have both her parents in her life. Anna knew how important that will be for all three of them.

She walked over and joined Robert who had Noah on his knee. Emma was telling him about their flight and the little boy that kept singing the same six songs over and over. Anna sat down right beside him, loving that they get moments like this now. They were both looking forward to having the grandkids over for visits. Oh, the plans they have now, Anna thought as she leaned against Robert's arm.

It was about half an hour before there was another knock at the door, this time it was Robin. She quickly told them that Patrick was busy on a call with the hospital but would be coming over to their suite soon when Emma opened the door and let her in. Robin smiled as she joined her parents, she loved that they had found their way back to each other. "I've been thinking about this, why do you have to get into such big arguments before you can admit how you actually feel about each other?"

Anna grinned when she realizes Robin had a point, they had gotten into one heck of a fight just before the last time they got married. "I was the one that needed to be yelled at this time."

"At least I didn't tie you up," Robert only half-whispered. Robin's eyes got big but Anna shushed her before she could say anything. "I did give you a few messages though."

"Yes you did," Anna leaned in and kissed his cheek.

Robin didn't think she wanted to put too much thought into what her father had just said so she asked, "What time is the dinner this evening?"

"We are to be there for seven," Anna told her. "I'm looking forward to this."

"So am I." Robin and Anna started talking and the next time there was a knock it was Patrick at the door. After a few quick hellos, they all agreed it was time to get ready so they weren't late for dinner.

…

Anna held Robert's arm as they walked inside. "This is quite the place," he observed as he looked around.

Robin was right behind them, "I can still remember the first time I came to that door."

Anna glanced back over her shoulder, "That was one of the most wonderful days of my life."

"You lived here, Grandma?" Emma asked, walking beside Patrick, who was holding Noah.

"Well, I was a guest here for quite some time," Anna answered.

"Then she went and got her memory back and didn't want to stay here any longer." They all looked over at who was speaking, Alex had just entered the room. "It is so great to see you. I am so glad you could all make it."

Anna walked over and hugged her, "I wouldn't have missed this."

"Glad to hear it." Then she looked at Robert, "It's good to see you again, Robert." Then she hugged him tightly, he had been just as big a part of her getting to this point as Anna had been.

"I told the mayor I wouldn't start my new job until after coming here," he said as they let each other go.

"The mayor, really? They must really want you as DA."

"The mayor just happens to be a dear old friend and would have let him take two weeks before starting if he'd asked."

"There are a few matters that they want me dealing with asap but yes Laura understood why I had to be here."

"That's right, how many times does a Devane woman get married?" Robin said as she hugged Alex.

"Well, I guess I hope five is the answer to that," Robert said as he grinned over at Anna.

"I really hope we don't have to do this three more times after this." They looked over and saw Demitri now standing just behind Alex.

"The question should be how many times would a Devane have to get married if outside forces didn't interfere?" Anna said.

"Then the answer would have been once," Robin said smiling at her mother then her aunt. They both smiled back knowing she was right.

"Even we got messed around with by outside forces," Patrick added as he put his arm around Robin's waist, Noah now playing on the floor.

"I can't believe how much he has grown since I first met him. He is such a cutey," Alex gushed watching him.

"Maria is joining us for dinner tonight. Tomorrow is when this all gets underway," Demitri told them. "Come with me Robert, we never get enough time to talk just us."

"Take Patrick with you, he doesn't need to sit and listen to us women talk about weddings for the next hour until we eat," Alex told him. Then Robert and Patrick followed Demitri down the hall while the others moved into the sitting room. Once they were seating Alex smiled happily. "This is so amazing, I am about to marry the man I love more than anyone. I am so glad he heard me out when I went to talk to him."

"I felt that he still loved you when we saw him. It makes sense that he would want to understand why you did what you did. Now you two are correcting previous mistakes."

Alex reached out for Anna's hand. "I noticed there is a ring on your left ring finger as well, when should I be expecting our invitation?"

Anna smiled, they hadn't made any big announcement this time, Robert had asked her about a month ago and she happily accepted. "We want to get all settled in, Robert retired from the WSB, now he's starting a new job as DA so that's quite a big adjustment. Hopefully, this fall sometime there will be another wedding." Anna lit up as she talked about their plans, it was clear she was excited about the developments between herself and Robert.

"And this will be the last one for both of you," Robin said with a bit of a laugh.

Anna nodded, "Yes, it will be. I'm not letting him go ever again."

They talked about the things that had happened over the last few months. Robin liked hearing the happiness in both their voices. After that was all out of the way, they talked happily about what was going on in their lives.

While they talked Emma kept Noah entertained for them. They wondered the main floor, just looking around. Neither of them getting into anything but thoroughly enjoying getting to explore.

When Maria arrived, Sam and Maddie were with her. Anna greeted them happily then they introduced Anna to their mother. "I had the pleasure of getting to know your children when they were young," Anna said after the introductions.

"Of course, I have heard all about you, Anna. It is nice to finally meet you." She looked at Robin, "This must be your daughter."

"Yes, this is Robin. Her kids are around here somewhere and Robert and Patrick are in the den with Demitri."

"I can't wait to meet all of them," Maria said with a smile. They chatted for a few minutes then moved to the dining room as they saw the men moving that way. Alex introduced everyone and they started talking happily. Anna was enjoying getting to know Edmond's family again.

When they called it an evening, Anna and Robert returned to their suite. "It's a little strange to be able to chat about being separated from your family with someone that's been through it too."

"I know," Anna agreed. "I'm glad Maria and Edmund had found their way back to each other before he died, it's just sad they didn't get much time together."

Robert took her hand and she looked up at him. Neither spoke for a moment. "Not this time." He reached up and touched her cheek. "We are going to get married and we are going to have a wonderful life together. We are going to get to make beautiful memories watching our grandkids grow up." He leaned in and kissed her tenderly. "No matter what life has thrown at us, what it's put us through. You are the woman I love, the woman I want a life with. That's all I've ever wanted, Anna."

"Oh darling," Anna put her arms around him. "That has been the dream since we first met. I really believe this time our lives will let us have the life we have always wanted." He started kissing her neck, instantly she responded to him. Anna's head went back as her hands moved into his hair.

"Anna, I can't lose you again," he whispered, then bit her earlobe.

"Aahhh. Never again."

"I need you. Only you."

Her hands moved to his cheeks, Anna leaned back and looked into his eyes. "You have me, Robert. Forever." Then she kissed him passionately. Like so many times since they had reunited the passion was there in an instant. Needing each other they started removing each other's clothing as they made their way to the bedroom. Once there, making love passionately.

Afterwards, Anna lay in Robert's arms, slowly stroking his chest. She has the love of her life back, they are here for Alex and Demitri's wedding and will be getting married again themselves before the end of the year. She smiled thinking about it. "We should get some sleep. You have a busy day with Alex tomorrow then the wedding the day after."

"I know," she leaned up and kissed him, "Goodnight, darling."

"Mmmm, goodnight Luv."

…

Since Anna and Alex were having the final fitting for their dresses today, Robert and the family were exploring Pine Valley. "I don't really remember anything about the city, all that mattered was, Mom was here and alive," Robin said as they walked. Emma and Noah were eating ice cream cones, so it was agreed a walk was a good idea.

"It brought me so much happiness when I got that call. When I heard you two were together, finally." Robert cleared his throat, suddenly feeling a little emotional. Unknowingly they had walked right by police headquarters, Robert was looking at the sigh. "She had a life here for a time when she believed I was dead."

Patrick and Robin looked at each other then he kept walking with the kids while Robin took her father's arm and stopped walking. "What's going on in that head of yours?"

"For a time Anna Devane had a life without Robert Scorpio. She was all alone and she struggled to start over. Oh, Robin. It tore me apart. Having updates about her again after going so long without them was a blessing," he sighed, "and a curse."

"I know that couldn't have been easy. Getting updates about Mom moving on after you. That had to suck, but hey it got better." Robert looked down at her to find her smiling up at him. "You got the girl. You get to spend the rest of your life with her. Let's not think about that other stuff right now."

He laughed a little at that. "Yeah, you're right." Robert put his arm around her then they turned to follow after the others. She was right, this was not the time to think about any of that.

…

Anna would have been happy taking everyone to Krystal's but Alex insisted on the Valley Inn. She wanted everyone to fully enjoy their time here. Over dinner, it was clear they all were. Robert and Demitri may have led very different lives but they got along famously. Alex loved watching Robin with her family, she seems so happy and her children are both adorable. What she liked to see the most was Robert and Anna together, as they should be, she thought. They had helped her find her way back to Demitri and thankfully that had led to them getting back together as well.

As the evening started to wind down Anna leaned closer to Alex, "I've wanted to ask you about Peter. Have you contacted him?"

"I did. A few emails, a couple of texts, we talked once. I could tell he is still very hurt by what he feels was done to him. I told him if he wanted to get to know me or just wanted to talk and ask me questions he could but I also told him I understood if he wanted nothing to do with me. I haven't heard from him since then."

"I'm sorry, Alex." Anna understood that Alex would like to have a relationship with her son but from what she knew about Peter, he could hold a grudge.

"It's up to him, he's a grown man. I accepted a long time ago I would never know my child." Anna saw the sadness in her sister's eyes so she didn't say anything else. "I hope he'll want to know me but I'm not expecting anything." It would hurt less that way, they both knew that was probably the best mindset for the situation.

They joined the other conversation again but before long it was time to call it a night. There was a wedding the next day and they would all be there. They were all smiles as they hugged and said good night. It was clear both Alex and Demitri were excited about tomorrow.

…

As soon as Anna and Robert walked into the hall at Wildwind she smiled, "I know people here." She squeezed Robert's hand and dragged him across the room. "Hello, Hayley, Mateo."

"Anna, hello. It is so good to see you, Alex said you'd be here and that must mean this is your Robert."

"Yes, I am." He shook her offered hand, then Mateo's.

"Mateo is Maria's brother, so I got to know them when I was here because of Edmond."

"Oh, alright." Robert was enjoying getting to know a little more about Anna's time here.

"Oh and this is Ryan Lavery." Robert tilted his head just a little. "Don't start, yes related but not alike."

"I didn't say anything," Robert said with a smile.

"Ryan, this is Robert." They shook hands then they all started talking. They all seemed to have questions about what had happened to Robert during the time they had known Anna.

Anna was looking around the room while listening. It was only going to be a small ceremony, Anna didn't think there would be more than twenty-five people in attendance. There was an arch where they would exchange their vows that looked beautiful. Most of the decorations were white with a few flowers but nothing too extravagant.

As they were talking Maria walked over to them. Sam and Maddie were there talking to Enzo. Then Anna saw Brooke English walk in. Unless she was wrong that should be about all the guests now. She didn't know everyone here but knew they were all important to Alex and Demitri in some way.

Anna turned slightly when Robert took her arm, he smiled at her as she realized it was time to take their seats. They went and sat with Robin and her family. As they waited Anna whispered, "Soon it will be our turn."

Robert turned and kissed her cheek. "One last time, to get it right." then he grinned.

Anna laughed a little and shook her head. The music changed when Alex appeared in the doorway and they all stood. Alex looked radiant in an off white gown. As she neared Demitri the love they felt for each other shone through on both their faces. Anna got a little teary-eyed while they exchanged their vows. They were correcting a wrong, they never should have broken up. She felt such peace seeing them exchange their rings, this was how it should be.

After they kissed and walked back out of the room Anna turned to Robert, "I want a small ceremony, with just the people that matter there to share in our day."

"That sounds perfect." Robert put his hand on her back as the guests started to mingle again. Anna liked hearing about what the people she had known here were up to now. The fact Robert was here to share this with her made it even more special. She wanted to share this with him, she wanted to share everything with him.

There was a nice dinner then a little music and dancing. When everyone started to leave Anna and Robert went to say goodnight then left for their hotel. Robert had a little surprise in store for Anna. They walked inside and Robert took her hand and turned away from the elevators she knew took them up to their room. "What are you up to, Scorpio?"

"Who says I'm up to anything?"

Anna tilted her head and looked up at him, "I've known you long enough to know when you're up to something."

"Then you should also know that you often like it when I'm up to something."

Anna laughed as she took his arm leaning against him. "Led the way."

Robert smiled and walked them over to different elevators. He pressed the button and when the doors opened she looked up at him again. "Trust me?"

"You know I do." They got on and Robert pressed the fourth-floor button, apparently, he knew where he was going. When the doors opened again he led her down the hall and stopped in front of room 429. "What are we doing here?"

He pulled a keycard out of his pocket then opened the door. He turned and grinned at her, "This is our room for the next two nights." Then he opened the door, Anna stepped inside and covered her mouth. It was the honeymoon suite. She looked around, there was a king-size bed in the corner, a hot tub and a private balcony. Their bags were already there as well, this is amazing. "I thought we could have a practice honeymoon."

She turned, a big smile on her face. "Do we need practice?"

"We need two days all to ourselves before we head back to Port Charles."

"Oh, you want me all to yourself." Anna took a few steps towards him.

"Yes, I do." He stepped closer and put his hands on her hips, "And what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing at all." Putting her arms around him she leaned closer. "Does Robin know about this?"

"Yes, and so does Alex. No one is expecting to see us tomorrow."

Anna looked around the room again then smiled at Robert, "We are not leaving this room." He leaned in and kissed her tenderly. "Did you enjoy yourself?"

"I did, this has been a nice trip so far." He kissed her again, "And it is only going to get better."

"What do you have in mind?" she asked just above a whisper running her hand down his chest.

"We are going to take advantage of that hot tub, drink a bottle of wine and see where that leads us."

"Mmmm, perfect. I'll get the wine, meet you in the tub." Anna gave him a quick kiss then turned, she had seen the wine by the bed. She slid the straps of her dress off her shoulders as she walked. She glanced over her shoulder, Robert was watching her as he took his jacket and tie. She smiled over at him as she put her hair up, then finished getting undressed then picked up the wine. Robert was already waiting for her, he took the wine and poured them both a glass.

Once she was in the tub with him, he held up his glass. "Here's to our future."

Anna smiled, "To our future. I am so glad we finally admitted what we both truly wanted."

"I know how incredible it is that we get to have another chance. Anna, this is all I've wanted for so long. I swear to you, I am going to do everything in my power to keep us together."

Anna touched his cheek, she could see the love in his eyes. "We are staying together this time, I know it. Oh, Robert. I love you so much."

"And I love you."

Anna moved a little closer and kissed him tenderly. Then put her head back and closed her eyes, she was going to enjoy this. Two days with Robert in the honeymoon suite, she knew she was going to thoroughly enjoy herself, she thought with a smile…
