...so that's the truth Callie, I'm a coward and Jill wears the pants in our relationship" said Robert with a sigh.
It had been a couple days since Jill had slapped some sense into him and after talking to Callie's doctor he felt much better but now came the scary part, talking to Stef and Lena who he asked to meet him here in Callie's hospital room. Robert turned towards the door when he heard a knock which turned out be Stef and Lena.
"How is she?" asked Lena.
"She's steady, she was babbling earlier which is good I guess but I don't really want the first thing we talk about when she wakes up is burnt cookies" muttered Robert.
Lena couldn't help but laugh since she knew what the burnt cookie thing was about.
"So Mr. Man you wanted to talk?" chuckled Stef.
"You've been talking to Jill haven't you?" asked Robert frowning.
"Oooh yeah!" giggled Lena.
"Ok I have to ask, how is it when your at work your ruthless to the point Callie never wanted to go back but in your home life your a wimp?" asked Stef.
"To be honest I have no clue but I think it might be the coffee" said Robert trying to think about it.
"So what did you want to talk about?" asked Stef.
Robert looked at Callie then back at Stef and Lena.
"Can you both take a seat, I wanna start with the light stuff first" said Robert.
Stef and Lena shared a quick look. Before Stef sat down she walked over to Callie and brushed some hair out of her face.
"So good news the women who been staying with me just gave birth to a son, we still don't have a name for him yet though" said Robert.
"Collen" said Stef without hesitation.
"What?" asked Robert.
"Collen the male version of Colleen, Callie's mother" said Lena knowing what Stef meant.
"That's...great, I'm surprised I didn't think of it" said Robert.
Stef and Lena shared a laugh.
"Um so there's something I defiantly need to tell you, the last time I saw you I lied about somethings, I never talked to Callie's doctor about her level of paralysis, I didn't even know how she was doing, I was panicking over the knowledge that Liam blackmailed the doctor into removing Callie's eye" explained Robert.
Lena's face conveyed surprise, disgust, and fear were as Stef only showed anger.
"You knew this and you never told us!, why the hell would you keep that from us!" demanded Stef on the verge of screaming.
Robert wasn't shocked by her response but it was clear he was trying to think of an appropriate response.
"To be honest I wanted to avoid this, better you think the doctor an idiot then know Liam was taking trophy's" explained Robert.
Stef looked at Robert with anger but she could understand his reasoning.
"Robert we're big women, we can handle the knowledge that Liam is a sick bastard, we don't need you to protect us" said Lena.
"I'm sorry" said Robert bowing his head in shame.
"So what did Liam have to blackmail the doctor with?" asked Lena.
"Mostly photo's of him in drag and and a few of him stealing morphine" said Robert.
"How the hell would Liam get something like that with only a month of planing?" asked Lena.
An odd look passed on Roberts face.
I've known the Olmsteads since I was a child and a while ago Josh, Liam's father wanted to know if there were any Doctors he should be wary of so I sent him those" said Robert.
"Was it Jill or was it you who got those pictures?" asked Stef who was shocked by just how connected everyone of them were to Liam.
"Both" said Robert.
"Wow this world of ours is so small, I could have been your sister and Callie's aunt and your child friend has a rapist for a son who only seams interested in Callie" pondered Lena aloud.
"That might not be 100% true" said Robert.
"What do you mean?" asked Stef.
Robert opened his briefcase that had been behind his chair and pulled out a newspaper. He handed it to Stef and Lena then waited until they were done.
"I think Liam might be going after more of his past victims" said Robert.
"Jeez you really did lose hope, Brandon sent this to us already, I talked to my boss who called up to New York, they already caught the guy who did it, apparently the guy had a extreme hand fetish and she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and the man that sexually abused in her the past was a man named Len Elms, besides how would Liam get from California to New York with out anyone seeing him!" challenged Stef.
Robert didn't know how to respond to that as he had been drunk a while so he didn't have it all together yet.
"How much longer are you due?" asked Robert changing the subject.
"3 more months and Francesca will be here and none of us will get any sleep" laughed Lena.
"Except for Callie" said Robert smiling.
"Oh no She better wake up she promised to help take of it" joke Stef.
"Well this is a rather extreme method of avoiding responsibility" said Robert sarcastically.
"Hey Callie I brought donuts!" giggled Lena.
There was no response except for the steady beeping of her heart monitor.
"I fucking hate Liam" said Robert.
"Ditto!" said Lena.
"I hate Liam I do but do we have donuts?" asked Stef.
