"Dr. Valentine, you have a phone call on line one," a nurse said as she popped her head into Cat's office.
"Okay. Thank you, Ashley," Cat said. She waited until the nurse was gone before answering her phone. "This is Dr. Caterina Valentine. How can I help you?"
"Just the person I was looking for," Robbie said on the other line.
She was confused for a few seconds. "Hello, Sir. What can I do for you today? Is your wife a patient of mine?" she asked.
"Uh... No. This is Robbie."
"Oh, god," she chuckled. "I thought something was off. I usually get calls from women. Why'd you call my office instead of my phone?"
"Just to make sure you weren't busy."
"Oh. Well, what's up?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere tonight if you aren't busy."
Cat smiled. "Oh? Like where?"
"I don't know. I was thinking Nobu or Karaoke Dokie or Bots."
"Bots. Definitely Bots. I haven't been there in years. It's a drive but if you don't mind that then I'd love to go. I already feel the nostalgia."
"That's cool with me. What time are you off?"
"Office closes at five. I'll call you if I end up having to deliver a baby thought. If that's the case then we can reschedule."
"Well you'll still need to eat after work. We'll just go somewhere that's open if that happens."
"Okay, cool," she said, brows furrowing when she saw a familiar child running past her office.
"Melinda Katrina Gibson!" April shouted. "Get your ass back here!"
"Robbie, I gotta go, there's a situation. I'll see you tonight."
"Okay. B-" He was cut off by her slamming the phone down and rushing out of her office, running to catch up with her sister.
"What the hell, April?" Cat said.
"She ran off!" April said. "She's fast."
"Melinda!" Cat snapped, immediately getting the attention of her three-year-old niece. "Come here. Right now."
The little girl made her way to her aunt, running into her arms and giving her a big hug.
"Why are you running in my hospital?" Cat asked.
"I wanted to see you," Melinda said.
"Well, you ran right past my office. And we do not run in the hospital unless it's an emergency."
"It was a mercy me."
"Why?"
"Mommy tried to beat my ass."
Cat stifled a laugh. "You say 'spank my butt'. Why was Mommy trying to spank you?"
"She ran in front of a fucking ambulance," April said. "Thank God they saw her. I almost had a lawsuit on my hands."
"You know better than to run in front of cars. Why did you do that?"
"I wanted to see you," Melinda said.
"Okay, well you have to be safe. And you need to hold Mommy's hand."
"No, I'm a big girl."
"Even big girls need to hold Mommy's hand. this is a hospital, not a playground. Why are you guys here?" She asked, looking at her sister.
"I felt something weird," April said, tapping her growing belly. "Figured I'd come get it checked out."
"Well, let's go look then," She said, starting down the hall. "What did you feel?"
"I felt like he was kicking me in two different places."
"He has two feet, April..."
"I know but it was like two feet in both places."
"He has two arms too. He was probably punching, too," she said, walking into a room and placing Melinda in a chair. "Get up there, we'll take a look," she said closing the door.
April got up on the table and lifted her shirt up, pushing the waist of her pants down below her belly. "Don't freeze me this time."
"The gel is always cold. You know this," Cat said, squirting a clear gel over her sister's belly. She slid a remote around until she got a clear view of her unborn nephew. "Hey, buddy. You giving Mom a hard time?"
"Yes," April muttered.
"Everything looks fine. He probably just - oh my god."
"What?"
"That's a foot."
"Yes, he has two. You're a baby doctor, you should know this."
"It's a third foot, April."
"What? My baby has an extra foot?"
Cat pressed around on April's stomach for a few seconds and gasped. "April. Did you get any new information from your doctor?"
"No. What's wrong with my baby?"
"Nothing, they both look just fine."
"Oh, good." April paused and looked at her twin. "They?"
"It's twins."
"Oh my gosh, it looks the same," Cat said as she walked into Bots with Robbie. "I used to hang out here all the time in high school and college with Sam."
"How's she doing?" Robbie asked.
"Pretty good. She's a correctional officer," she said as they sat at a booth.
"Sam? A correctional officer?" Robbie asked, raising his brows in surprise.
"I know, right?" Cat said with a chuckle. "She's married. Has a little girl that's giving her a run for her money. She's just like her."
"That's good. Do you see her often?"
"Not lately. We see each other at least once a month, though. We have dinner so we can catch up."
"That's nice. Who did she marry?"
"Freddie. Right after high school. He moved to L.A. to be closer to her. Got married, had a baby a year later. She's almost twelve and let me tell you, I have no doubt that she's exactly like Sam at that age."
"Are you close with her?"
"Of course. I'm her godmother. It was going to be Carly, but she's not as close in vicinity and Sam and Freddie wanted it to be convenient."
"That's smart. I'd do the same thing with mine."
"Yours?" Cat asked, raising a brow. "Do you...?"
Robbie nodded. "A little boy."
"Why didn't you tell me? That's great, Robbie," she smiled. "Tell me about him."
"I didn't want to scare you off."
"I deliver babies. I'm not scared of kids. How old is he?"
"Almost five."
"What's his name?"
"Simon."
"Does he look like you?"
"Oh, yeah. Spitting image. Poor kid," he joked.
"Stop, you were a cute kid. Who's his mom?"
"Gabriella."
"Oh. That's nice. I always liked her."
"No you didn't."
"I did."
"You punched her in the face at graduation."
"She kissed you, and she knew we were a sorta-kinda thing."
"You threw a book at her because she just happened to be in the library at the same time as you."
"That was an accident."
"You tripped her down the stairs."
"She tripped. She has big feet."
"You pushed her during dodgeball."
"She got in my way."
"You spread a rumor that she kissed her brother."
"That wasn't a rumor!" Cat defended. "She did kiss her brother. I just didn't mention that he was two."
"You got jealous at the cow-wow."
"That's cause I didn't like her."
"Exactly. You hated her."
"That was high school. I'm grown now. Is she any better as an adult?"
"Oh, no. She's terrible. That's why we broke up. She had a thing for Sinjin."
"She always did. So, did she cheat on you?"
"Yeah."
"That sucks. I'm sorry. You got a cute kid, though. Do you see him often?"
"I have custody. He's with her on the weekends."
"Who watches him when you're working?"
"Mamaw."
"She's still alive?" Cat asked in surprise.
"Cat."
"Sorry. I didn't mean it like that."
"Yes you did."
"She was mean to me."
"She just didn't like your hair."
"She called me stupid and said I looked ugly. While I was depressed and suicidal."
"How's that? How are you doing with it, I mean."
"Better. I think I'll always have the depression. I'm on medication for it. But the suicidal part is a lot better."
"I'm glad to hear it."
"Robbie..."
"Hm?"
"Do you wanna come over after dinner?"
"Sure. You don't work tomorrow?"
"Not unless a baby is being born."
"Okay. I'll be there."
"Oh god!" Cat moaned as her back hit the wall.
"Sorry," Robbie said, kissing her neck.
"Couch. Now."
Robbie carried her over to the couch and sat down, Cat straddling his lap as he pulled her shirt off over her head.
He stared at her breasts, fitting perfectly in her white lacy bra. He stared for a few seconds before unhooking the back and tossing the bra across the room and raising his hands to cup her breasts, which made a moan leave Cat's throat.
"Please tell me these are real," Robbie said.
"The realest. All natural," Cat said, grinding her hips into his.
"You've treated them well."
"Yeah I have, so make sure you treat them well."
"Gladly," Robbie said, massaging her right breast as he brought his mouth to her left.
Cat let out a small whimper, her hips pressing harder into his. They humped it out for a good fifteen minutes until Cat couldn't handle the arousal anymore and she scooted back a little, just to unbutton and unzip his jeans and gently pull his member out of his boxers. "You ready?" she asked.
"I've been ready."
She reached under her skirt to pull her panties to the side and guided him into her, letting out a small moan as she sunk herself down onto him. "Ooh... god, I forgot how good you feel."
"I never forgot how good you feel," Robbie said, his hands resting on her hips.
Cat rocked slowly at first, then moved a little quicker as she adjusted to him. "Fuck..."
"You feeling it?" Robbie asked, kissing her neck.
"I'm so feeling it," she said as she held onto the back of the couch. Her pace quickened a little more as Robbie's hand slid up her thigh, under her skirt, and his thumb pressed against her clit, rubbing it in circles. "Ohh... yeah..."
"Twelve years apart, but I know your favorite spot."
"Yeah, just don't stop baby," she said before moaning.
After about an hour of teasing each other, Cat got serious and let her pace quicken to give them both some relief. She felt that familiar twinge inside of her, his member jerk, and they were both moaning as they came simultaneously.
"Fuck..." Robbie muttered.
"Oh god," Cat's voice whimpered.
Her hips kept moving to ride it out until she knew he was finished releasing and she pulled his hand up her skirt. "Please..." she said.
"Not done yet?" Robbie asked, rubbing her clit again in slow circles.
"I only need a few seconds. Harder, faster, please."
Robbie put a little more pressure against her and let his thumb rub her faster. He only had to do it for about fifteen seconds before he felt that little button throbbing.
Cat's jaw dropped, her hips rocking again as she let out a loud moan and that weird mystery fluid gushed out of her, making a mess of both of their laps. "Fuck! Fuck... mmm..." Once she rode it out and she pushed his hand away, she stopped writhing and caught her breath, resting her forehead against his. "God, I missed you..."
"You didn't," Jade said.
"I did," Cat replied.
"Did what?" Tori asked.
"Robbie."
"Shapiro?"
"What other Robbie do we know?"
"Well... how was it?"
"Tori!"
"I'm curious!"
"Well, don't be."
"That means it was bad," Trina said.
"No it wasn't. It was nice. I missed him."
"In your life or in you?" Jade asked.
"All of the above."
"Girl..."
"What? He's not like he was in high school. He's an adult, he's more mature, he's responsible," Cat said. "Did you know he has a baby?"
"Who would reproduce with Puppet Boy?"
"Gabriella."
"Of course."
"Didn't work out. She cheated on him with Sinjin."
"Ew," Tori said.
"He's not bad, actually," Trina said.
"Ew!" Cat and Tori said.
"I've always wondered what's wrong with you," Jade mused. "Now I know you're just crazy."
"Hey," Trina said. "We were feeling a certain kind of way, okay? We had a good time."
"Okay, no more Sinjin talk," Tori said. "Back to the baby thing."
"Are you gonna get seriously involved with him?" Jade asked.
"I don't know. But I really think I feel something for him," Cat said.
"Be honest with me, Kitten. Are you on drugs?"
"Jade..."
"Getting into a relationship with someone that has a child is risky."
"It's Robbie."
"What do you think of him having a kid?" Tori asked. "Is it a deal breaker?"
"Not at all. I haven't met him, but he's a kid. He's not inherently evil or anything. He's little."
"How old?"
"Four. The best age."
"The best age is eighteen. When they're grown," Jade said.
"You're gonna go nuts when Becca moves out."
"That's different. She's sweet."
"She's a demon," Trina said.
"She is not."
"She growls at me."
"So does Jade," Tori said in a 'duh' tone.
"Yeah, that's just hereditary," Cat said.
