She had been at home, pacing and wringing her hands when the phone call came, and Robin had cried out in relief as she ran and answered it, smiling broadly when she heard a familiar voice on the other end.
"Robin? This is Blayne... you can come get me now..." Said the voice on the other end, sounding so far away.
"Oh, thank God. I'll be there soon!" Robin exclaimed, and after saying her goodbyes, hung up and ran for the door, grabbing her keys off of the table on the way out.

Pulling up next to the building where she worked, Robin winced at her parking job, but she was too excited, too in a hurry to redo it, so instead she slammed her fists down on the steering wheel in frustration, and unbuckled her seat belt.
Just as she was opening her door, her eyes widened.
She couldn't just go walking in there! It was raise far too many suspicions for her to walk in on her day off and pick up a patient who was being released, who she just happened to treat. Her boss was already suspicious enough about how quickly Blayne had recovered!
Her head fell forward, and landed on the steering wheel as she sighed heavily. Now what?
Just as she was beginning to think that she'd have to go in and sneak Blayne out ninja-style, the passenger side door opened, and a head crowned with raven hair poked in.
"Going my way?" Blayne asked playfully, before hopping in and closing the door. Before she knew what was happening, her arms were full of a small blonde who was clinging gleefully to her.
"Um..hi?"
"I'm so glad they let you out...." Robin said softly, pulling back and meeting sky blue eyes.
"Me too...and Xena, she's happy too."
"Can you really hear her in there?" Robin asked curiously, tapping a finger against Blayne's temple.
She shrugged. "Not all the time... just once and a while. She's growing weak and all, you know." Staring off into space, Robin watched as Blayne smiled.
"Xena wants to talk to Gabrielle." She announced, and Robin frowned. "How...do I let her talk? Gabrielle's never spoken to me or anything... are you sure she's in here?"
Blayne chuckled, and ruffled Robin's hair playfully. "She's in there all right. Tonight we'll bring her out..." A pensive look came over her face, and she met Robin's eyes, her own solemn.
"It's time they both got the rest they deserve."
