Kim sat beside Robbie's bed holding his hand gently whispering anything that came into his head. "Robbie, you have to come back to me because I don't know what I'd do with out you" whispered Kim kissing Robbie's hand gently. Suddenly the door opened and Flynn walked in. Kim didn't look up.
"Kim, mate, your going to have to go home and get some rest, I've let you stay here for two nights but I can't let you stay any longer because your not family and visiting hours finished three hours ago" said Flynn sternly. "NO! I wont leave him, he needs me" said Kim fresh tears falling down his cheeks.
"Kim I'm telling you that you have to go now or security will have to be called, Its not my choice it's the rules" said Flynn seriously. Kim reluctantly got up, he turned to Flynn, "I just need a few minutes ok?" asked Kim wiping away his tears. "Ok I'll be waiting outside" said Flynn as he exited the room.
Kim leant over Robbie slightly and kisses him on his forehead. "Robbie, baby, I have to go home but I'll be back tomorrow ok?" said Kim holding Robbie's hand tightly. Kim put Robbie's hand back onto the bed and tucked the sheet tightly around Robbie's body, he then blew a kiss at Robbie before leaving the room.
Everyone that lived in Irene's house sat in the living room together tears flowing freely. Kim walked into Irene's house, he had gone back to the hunter's house after he left the hospital and had a shower, before going to Irene's. "Kim, any news?" asked Irene as she embraced him. "no, nothings changed" said Kim sitting down.
On the coffee table was a picture of Robbie, Tasha and himself on the beach last summer. In the picture Kim was piggy-backing Robbie as they chased after Tasha. Kim put it face down and looked around the room. "so they have no idea who the assholes that did this to Robbie are?" asked Kane angrily. "not a clue" said Kim as hung his head in sadness.
"we can't do this" said Tasha abruptly. Everyone turned to her. "Robbie wouldn't want us to sit around and mope he would want us to keep doing what we normally do, we care about him but life can't stop" said Tasha. "so what we're just supposed to go on with ours lives as if Robbie not lying in a hospital bed with his head bashed in?" said Kim angrily as he stood to confront Tasha.
"Kim, I love Robbie, he's my best friend, I simply meant that we can't sit here all night" said Tasha defensively. "you know what Tash? I think you right excuse me, I have to go see someone" said Kim before he left Irene's house.
Kim sat at the dinner the next morning eating his breakfast, Dalby walked into the diner and sat down at Kim's table. "okay I got your message" said Dalby as Colleen approached them. "what can I get you gentlemen?" asked Colleen smiling cheerfully. "I'm fine thanks Colleen" said Kim as he pushed his empty plate forward. "I'll have a coffee thanks Colleen" said Dalby smiling back at her.
"terrible news about Robbie, I hope he's alright, it was one of my bowls-club friends that found him, she said there was blood everywhere" said Colleen. "Dalby noticed Kim's anger building as Colleen continued to talk "ah thanks Colleen we're all hoping he's ganna get better, how about that coffee huh?" said Dalby trying to salvage the situation before decided to take his ager out on Colleen.
"ah sure, I'll right back with your coffee" said Colleen before walking back to the counter. "man, you gotta calm down, you know Colleen, she never knows when to shut up! So just take it easy" said Dalby warningly. "I'm fine" said Kim glaring at Dalby. "I'm sure you are" said Dalby sarcastically.
"listen I brought you here for a reason, you and I are going to Yabby Creek to look for clues at the crime scene" said Kim. "Kim the police did a thorough search and didn't find anything" said Dalby. "yes, but they didn't know what they were looking for, we do" said Kim triumphantly. "oh what might that be?" asked Dalby rolling his eyes in disbelief.
"we know that Robbie was bashed because he's gay, everyone at school found out when we had the fight which by the way I apologise for, I have a real jealous streak" said Kim. "so I assume you think it was someone at school" said Dalby. "yes, but the question is who would do something like this?" asked Kim hanging his head slightly. "well are we ganna sit here and mope or are we ganna go check it out and see if can find anything?" asked Dalby as he stood up.
"lets go" said Kim grabbing his jacket and leaving some money on the table. "wait Eric I've got you coffee" yelled Colleen but Kim and Dalby were long gone. "so is someone with Robbie now?" asked Dalby as he and Kim sat on opposite seats on the bus. "Yeh, Tasha and Melanie are with him and the twins are going to see him this afternoon" said Kim. "you really love him huh?" asked Dalby. "Yeh I do, and when I get my hands on the assholes who did this to him they'll wish that they were never born" said Kim shaking his fists slightly. (ok cliché, I know but work with me).
When they arrived they began to search the ally, Kim had to gain his composure again when he saw a huge blood stain on the cement. "keep it together Kim, Robbie's counting on us" said Dalby as patted Kim on the back. "right" said Kim as he began to search the ally. After an hour of searching they had found nothing. "come on Kim, there's nothing here" said Dalby in defeat. "we have to keep searching" said Kim determinedly.
Suddenly something caught Kim's eye, a white, crumpled piece of paper was blowing in the wind. Kim ran over to the piece of paper, he covered his hand the handkerchief Tasha had given him and Robbie with their initial sewn on and picked it up. "Kim, its just a piece of paper" said Dalby rolling his eyes at Kim's desperate antics. "no this isn't just any piece of paper, it Miss Fletcher's last calc test" said Kim smiling. "so whose name is on it?" asked Dalby as he sat down next to Kim who was trying desperately to straighten out the piece of paper.
The hand writing at the top of the page was messy but Kim could make out the name 'Mark'. "Mark and his friend approached me a while ago and started throwing insults at me and then he told me that I better watch my back and that they were going to get Robbie too, I didn't think they were serious" said Dalby defensively. "look it's not your fault, lets just get this to the police station" Kim as he folded the piece of paper within the handkerchief.
Tasha sat beside Robbie's bed while Melanie went to get them something to eat. "Robbie, please wake up, Kim and Dalby have plan to catch who ever did this to you so you have to wake up" said Tasha as she held Robbie's hand.
"this isn't fair you promised me that you would always be here for me, if you die I'll never forgive you" said Tasha as tears escaped down her cheeks.
Melanie walked into the room and handed Tasha a cup of tea. "anything?" asked Melanie as she sat down beside the bed. "nothing he's not responding, I even tried threatening him and still nothing" said Tasha sadly.
"Tasha, we'll have to go soon the twins are coming to visit Robbie" said Melanie. "Okay lets go" said Tasha as she hugged Robbie's still body gently.
"Tash" whispered Robbie his eyes fluttered but became still the next moment.
Kim and Dalby stood outside the school waiting, they had given the piece of paper to the police but decided that they were taking to long to do anything so they decided to take the law into their own hands. Dalby had over heard Mark and his friend talking about studying in the library until 7:00. Kim checked his watch for the 15th time.
"would you stop looking at your watch! They're coming ok!" said Dalby. Suddenly they heard voices coming toward them. Kim's smile twisted into an evil smirk. "oh yes revenge is sweet" he whispered as mark and his friend made their way toward the gates. Kim had the honour of beating the crap out of Mark.
Mark and his friend stepped through the gate when suddenly it closed behind them and they were both shoved up against the gates. They looked up to see Kim and Dalby. Kim and Dalby shove their arms into the crook of their target's necks. "not so powerful when you don't have a crowbar huh?" said Kim pushing harder onto Mark's neck crushing his trachea. Mark gagged slightly causing Kim smile slightly.
Dalby delivered a punch to the other guy's jaw. "so how its feel to beaten up by a 'fag'?" asked Dalby hitting him again this time in the stomach. "mercy please" said Mark in a strained voice. "did you show Robbie any mercy? No I seem to remember that you bashed his head in with a crowbar instead" said Kim matter-of-factly.
"he deserved it, disgusting faggot" said Mark straining with every word as Kim pushed harder and harder on his throat. "you're a real piece of work you know that" said Kim as he punched Mark in the stomach still holding his arm at his neck. "how does that feel huh? Well multiply that by a million and then you'll know just how I feel about my boyfriend laying in a hospital bed unconscious!" yelled Kim a look of pure hate on his face.
"I hope he dies" yelled the guy that Dalby was holding up against the gate. "you'll regret ever saying that" said Dalby shoving the guy back causing him to his head on the bars. The guy began to see stars when Kim told Dalby to back down. Dalby let go and the guy fell to the ground. Kim punched Mark in the face causing him fall to the ground when Kim let go of him.
"If you ever come near Robbie again I'll kill you both" said Kim angrily. "Yeh and I'll help, I already did my old man in, you two should be a piece of cake" said Dalby standing back with Kim, they both folded their arms in satisfaction. "oh and I suggest that you keep this yourselves, you don't want people to know two faggots beat you both up" said Kim triumphantly.
Kirsty sat in the living reading a magazine when suddenly her water broke. "KANE! KANE!" screamed Kirsty. Kane came running down the stairs. "what is it babe?" asked Kane as he kneeled down beside her. "my water just broke" screamed Kirsty.
Kane grabbed the bag of clothes that Kirsty had put together for her stay in hospital and pick Kirsty up bridal style. "its ok Kirst" said Kane as he put her in the front seat. Kane jumped into the drivers side and took off as quick as possible.
Kirsty screamed her lungs out as Kane carried her into the emergency waiting room. "someone help, my wife's having a baby" yelled Kane frantically. Flynn saw Kane holding Kirsty as he turned the corner into the emergency waiting room. He grabbed a spare wheelchair and brought it over to them. Flynn wheeled Kirsty in to the ER.
Kirsty was propped up against Kane who was trying to soothe her the best he could. "your doing great babe. a couple of more pushes. I love you." said Kane in between kisses. Kirsty screamed as she felt another contraction. "Okay Kirsty get ready, the head is crowning" said Flynn.
"you can do it Kirst" said Kane as he pushed her hair back from her face. Kirst pushed as hard as she could, suddenly the room filled with sound of crying as Flynn handed the baby to Kirsty. "congratulations, it's a healthy baby girl" said Flynn smiling at the couple. "she's beautiful" said Kane as he burst into tears.
"I don't mean to interrupt, but have you picked out a name?" asked Flynn. "Robyn Alysse Phillips" said Kirsty smiling down at the little girl in her arms.
Kim's phone rang as he and Dalby left the school. "hello?" "Kim, it Beth Kirsty just had her baby so can you come to the hospital?" "sure we're on our way, bye" "Kirsty had her baby, come on" said Kim as he and Dalby ran to the caravan park.
They informed Sally of what was going on and she drove them to the hospital. Kim and Dalby went to the front desk. "yes, I can help you gentlemen?" asked the old woman sitting at the desk. "could you tell us which room Mrs Kirsty Phillips is in?" asked Kim. "room 203, and please be quiet" said the nurse sternly. "thanks you" they both said before running down the hall. When they found the room Kim knocked lightly on the door. "come in" said a voice through the door.
Kim and Dalby opened the door and walked in. Kirsty smiled as she held her sleeping baby. Kim turned to Kane and shook his hand. "congratulations" said Kim smiling. Beth sat at Kirsty's bed side smiling. "So have you guys picked out a name?" asked Dalby. "Robyn Alysse Phillips" said Kane smiling at his wife and daughter. Kim smiled at Kirsty. "its perfect" said Kim smiling at down at Robyn as she opened her big blue eyes.
Kirsty looked up at Kim smiling. "I have an idea, maybe if I bring Robyn to see Robbie, it might get through to him" said Kirsty. "at this stage I'm willing to do anything, of course only if your up to it!" said Kim. "Kane, can you ask Flynn for a wheel chair?" asked Kirsty determinedly. "back in a sec" said Kane as he left the room. Kane back with a wheel chair and helped Kirsty into it.
Kim wheeled Kirsty into Robbie's room, Kane had gone to get Kirsty some water. "Robbie can you here me, its Kirsty and I brought someone with me who's anxious to meet you but you have to open your eyes" said Kirsty pleadingly. Kirsty continued talking but continued to get no response.
"I'm getting tired Kim, maybe this wasn't such an great idea after all" said Kirsty try to shift Robyn around. Robyn began to cry, she continued to wail loudly. "Kim can you take me back to the maternity ward I don't want to wake any of the residents" said Kirsty trying to calm her baby. Just as Kim was bout to open the door her heard soft whimpers coming form behind, he raced to Robbie's bed where he saw his boyfriend's eye's open for the first time in weeks.
"Robbie, its Kim! Your ok" said Kim tears of joy making their way down his face. "Kim what happened to me?" asked Robbie still trying to focus his eyes. "here" said Kim handing Robbie his glasses. "I tell you later I'm just so glad your ok" said Kim hugging Robbie tightly bring Robbie to a sitting position.
Robbie looked over to see Kirsty in a wheelchair holding a baby. "I knew I heard a baby, congratulations Kirsty" said Robbie smiling. Kim wheeled Kirsty closer to Robbie's bed. "Robbie, meet Robyn Alysse Phillips, Robbie Jr or RJ for short" said Kirsty smiling. "you named her after me?" asked Robbie his eyes wide in disbelief. Kirsty smiled and nodded.
"would you like to hold her?" asked Kirsty. "my arms are a bit stiff" said Robbie. "that's ok Rob, I'll help" said Kim and he sat behind Robbie. Robbie leant against Kim as Kirsty handed him the baby. Kim wrapped his arms around the baby just in case Robbie's arms got tired.
Kane came into the room and saw Robbie sitting up holding his daughter. "Robbie! Your awake!" said Kane shocked. "Yeh!" said Robbie smiling happily at Kane. "I'll go get Beth and Flynn" said Kane before leaving the room. A few minutes later Flynn and Beth entered Robbie's room.
Beth wrapped her arms around her son and hugged him tightly. "its ok mum I'm fine" said Robbie smiling at her. "oh Robbie I was so afraid I was going to lose you" said Beth as she hugged her son tighter. "Ok I think its best if Kirsty and Kane go back to their room and Kim step outside so that I can give Robbie a check up" said Flynn. "I'll be right outside" said Kim as he kiss Robbie on the lips before leaving the room.
"I didn't realise you and Kim were so close, I'm happy for you, just be safe" said Flynn as pulled the back of Robbie's shirt up to listen to his heart beat. Robbie went red and began to mumble. Flynn chuckled slightly.
"Okay Robbie you seem to be ok but your going to have to stay tonight, we did test on you while you were still unconscious, we've determined that the reason your still alive is that the instrument that hit you moved slightly when it came into contact with your glasses" said Flynn reading from Robbie's chart.
"When can I take off this bandage?" asked Robbie. "I can take it off right now if you want, there were a lot stitches put into your head so you will have a pretty big scar but you hair covers it so that shouldn't be a problem" said Flynn happily as he begun to unwind he bandage. When it was off Robbie rubbed the side of his head as it still hurt a little.
"Can Kim come back in now?" asked Robbie excitedly. "sure I'll go and get him" said Flynn. Beth turned Robbie. "I'll leave you two alone" said Beth smiling as she kissed Robbie on the cheek. Kim entered the room and smiled at Robbie, he sat in the chair beside Robbie's bed.
"I missed you so much" said Kim as he got up and wrapped his arms around Robbie tightly. "Kim can you tell me what happened to me? All remember is stepping out of the optometrist and then my mind draws a blank" said Robbie.
"I will tell you, but not here I want you to be comfortable and safe when I tell you because its not something your going to want to hear" said Kim sadly. "well how about after I get out tomorrow we could go to our secret place and you can tell me there" said Robbie as he stroke Kim's back lovingly. "It's a date" said Kim smiling, just happy to have his boyfriend back.
"There's someone else besides me who wants to see you" said Kim as he opened the door and in walked Dalby. "hey Robbie, how are you feeling?" asked Dalby as Robbie brought him into a hug. "I'm fine, I want to go home though" said Robbie smiling cheerfully. "so um how come you two aren't at each other's throats?" asked Robbie innocently.
"we thought it would be stupid to continue fighting considering what we achieved when we worked together" said Kim looking mischievously at Dalby. "well I'm glad you guys are friend because your both really important to me" said Robbie bringing them both into a hug.
