"Patrick?"
"Yea, Robin?"
"Why won't anyone let me watch TV?"
He was quiet for a moment he had been expecting her question.
"Um…"
"Answer me Patrick." She requested quietly.
"Er…Well you see…Um…Well it goes like this…Erm…Robin,
are you sure you need to know this, because it would be detrimental to your recovery?"
"Patrick, have you ever known me to ask you something I didn't expect an answer to?"
"No, but…"
"But nothing I want an answer."
"Shouldn't you be resting?"
"Stop changing the subject."
"You know not only do you need the rest our baby also needs the rest."
She affixed him with such a glare that if looks could kill Patrick would be dead by now.
"Patrick, if you change the subject one more time, I will have to get it out of you the hard way,
and if you think I haven't learned a few things in the art of interrogation from my super spy parents
your sadly mistaken."
"Oh look at the time I have a surgery to get to, I'll send Liz in to stay with you okay?"
"Liar."
"Would I lie to you!"
"Yes."
"Your words wound me."
"Good."
"Don't be mad at me Robin. I promise I'll explain it to you eventually, and by the way Mac is having
police guards posted outside your room and your parents have posted government agents throughout the hospital."
"I'll kill them."
Yes at least that took her mind off the TV thing.
"If you think you mad me forget about the TV think Patrick Drake you are sorely mistaken; now I'm just
going to have to kill my parents and Uncle Mac before I extract it from you."
Damn it all to hell. "Okay then, I'll be back later." He gave her hand a quick squeeze and walked out the door.
"Liz?"
"Yea, Patrick?"
"Robin is trying to find out why she can't watch TV and if she finds out I swear I will take those damn reporters
and strangle them with my bare hands."
"Oh god Robin doesn't seem to be in the capacity to handle what they put on the news."
"On the news? He asked incredulously. "They did that we-interrupt -this-program-for-an-important-news brief-thing!"
"I know she really can't see that."
"Will you go stay with her, I'm afraid that if left alone she will try to find out what's going on and that wouldn't be good
for her or the baby."
"All right, I have a break now anyway."
"Thanks."
"You're Welcome, and how did you manage to get out of there?"
"I lied and said I have surgery, but she saw through it and between that and the guards
posted at her door and throughout the hospital she is one ticked off woman.
Add the fact that her hormones are out of control and I won't touch her with a ten foot pole!"
"Hey you helped put those hormones out of whack, and I wouldn't mention that in front of Robin, she'll kill you."
"Thanks for the words of comfort." Patrick said dryly.
"You're welcome!" She responded in a sweet tone.
At this Patrick rolled his eyes and walked away.
"Robin?" Elizabeth asked knocking on the door after showing her drivers license to the guards at the door.
(You now had to be on an approved list of people to get into Robin's room.)
"Yes?"
"Can I come in?"
"I guess."
"Hey."
"Hi, Liz."
"Robin, I know your upset, but you will honestly be happier if the TV remains off and the
door remains guarded. Have you ever heard the phrase ignorance is bliss?"
"Yes, I have, but I don't agree that leaves you to imagine what's going on and what you can imagine is usually worse."
Not in this case. "Robin can you just trust me on this?"
"For now, but I am getting awfully sick of being sheltered." Elizabeth didn't say anything she just let Robin
continue she knew how Robin felt. "Everyone says that it's not my fault, you told me not to let this control me,
but you all seem intent on keeping things from me because of this, and if I'm being sheltered all the time how can
I not help but let it control me?" Elizabeth had no idea what to say to this. Robin had an excellent point,
but not telling her was best for her in the long run. Telling her would destroy her.
"What don't have an answer Liz? Is it because you know I'm right?"
"Robin…" Elizabeth sighed. "You really wouldn't be able to handle this."
Robin narrowed her eyes at Elizabeth. "Are you saying I'm weak?"
"No, I'm not, Robin please just forget about this."
"Fine. For now."
"That's all I ask."
"Patrick?"
"Yea, Liz?"
"She's still pretty ticked off and I wouldn't put it past her to try and find out what's going on."
"I know we can't keep it from her, but if she sees it she won't be getting easily past it and I can't stand to
see her more upset then she already is."
"I don't think anyone wants to do that."
