Patrick rises early, leaves a note for Anna, and heads to General Hospital. He finds Elizabeth waiting for him with a large coffee in her hand. He smiles and asks, "is my favorite scrub nurse ready?"
She hands him his coffee and says, "yes doctor, and the OR is just how you like it."
He puts the coffee on the counter and pulls her into a long hug, "it's good to see you Elizabeth."
"You too Patrick. I will want updates later on Robin and the kids of course." He nods takes the coffee with him, drinking it, and follows her to the OR, throwing the cup away before they go to scrub up. The surgery takes eight hours and is successful. Dante is in recovery and will most likely not wake until the next day.
Elizabeth says "I want to check in on Maxie and her baby. You know I helped deliver her?"
"No, I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. I was planning on checking on her myself. I need to report back to Robin and then I'd like to take you to dinner."
"Dinner sounds good, but let's make it at my house. We can pick something up on the way there. The kids would love to see you and I have a houseguest you may want to see."
"Elizabeth, I'd love to see your kids & I can tell Robin you said hello, I know she's happy Jason's innocent, but if Jason is there, I'll pass."
Elizabeth chortles, "Patrick, it's not Jason. Just because he didn't kill Franco doesn't mean I want to be with him. Jason and I have been over for years. For all I know he's back with Sam. He is Jake's father, that's it. No, it's someone else you should see." After visiting Maxie, they pick up food from the Metro Court and head back to Elizabeth's. They pull into her driveway and once inside Patrick is shocked to see Drew.
The following morning Patrick goes to GH to check on Dante. Robin after clearing her schedule and placing several folders in her briefcase boards a plane with her two kids-destination Port Charles.
Chase finally decides to open the 2nd paternity test and Gregory is his father, but that means he now has to mourn the loss of his brother.
When Robin's plane lands and she puts Emma and Noah in a Uber to her mother's and another one to General Hospital. She calls Patrick in route and says she will be there shortly. She makes a few more calls and the Uber drops her off at General Hospital. She meets Patrick in the lobby and they share a long embrace. He asks, "did you get everything you needed and talked to everyone?"
She replies, "yes, it's set for 2:00 pm, but I'd love to see Maxie now if possible."
"Of course, follow me." He puts his arm around her and tells her he's missed her.
After visiting with Maxie; Elizabeth and Robin have coffee in the cafeteria. They catch each other up on their lives with the promise Robin will bring her kids over before she and Patrick return home. Robin says, "so Patrick says Drew is alive?"
Elizabeth says "and Zander/Lewis, Cameron's father."
Robin laughs and says, "only in Port Charles." She looks at her watch and says, "it's time. Follow me, there's something big about to happen and you should be here to see it." They take the elevator to the lobby and Robin lays a stack of folders on the counter.
Patrick arrives and says Dante is awake and Olivia and Sonny are with him, but Sonny will be down shortly. Are you ready?"
She replies, "of course, you know I am." He kisses her and nods.
