Chapter 35

Anna was at the hospital getting her treatment and Robert was going to pick her up afterwards. They were leaving to visit Robin tomorrow and they were both looking forward to their time together there. A little time where there is no one judging them for being together. That they aren't going to be worried about bumping into Finn anywhere. Just time to be together and getting to see their family again was the best part.

As she walked back into the hall Anna all but walked into Finn. "Oh, sorry."

He put his hands on her shoulders, "No, my fault. Anna, do you have a minute to talk?"

"Um, yeah I'm just waiting for Robert so sure."

Finn let his arms drop at hearing Robert's name. "Right, of course, you are." He shuffled nervously, "I know you kept asking me about why I am so sure Peter is your son." He paused, "Anna, I just know that's the truth. When you told me about how hard it was to give him up and how it affected you after. That wasn't an act that wasn't planted memories. I don't think you've let yourself be that vulnerable in front of me since."

Anna was a little confused. She started thinking back to when she had told him about Peter. Why did what he was saying not really match up with what she remembers about that conversation. "You know that I gave Peter a DNA sample from Alex and he had it tested, right? That it came back and told him that Alex is his mother. He told me that the other day."

"No, that's not right."

"Finn, Peter told me he got the results. He told me that he now knows Alex is his mother and actually wants to try and set up a visit so he can get answers from her."

"But the things you told me when we went to the Adirondack's," Finn started.

"What?" Anna was confused but was distracted when she saw Robert walking towards them. She held up her hand so Robert would let them finish talking. "Finn I get that for some reason you feel Peter has to be my son. We now have the evidence that proves he is not. Can we please stop going around in circles about this?"

"But he is your son!"

Anna sighed in annoyance, "Finn, I am done fighting with you about this. I have to go." She walked away and took Robert's hand as they turned and walked away together. Finn didn't turn to watch them he just put his head down then went back to work.

...

"Robert, she said we are staying with her so that's what we're doing," Anna said smiling at him.

"Then you have to remember how to keep it down at night."

"We are only going to be here for three nights."

"Are you saying that you expect me to spend three night in bed with you and not make love to you?" Robert asked pulling her close to him as they waited for their bags at the airport. Anna laughed in his arms. "Yeah, see you can't do it either," he said with a big smile on his face.

"I can be quiet, you know I can. I also know you like it when I call out your name in the thralls of passion."

"Mmmm, I do." He kissed her, then smiled. "We can make up for having to be quiet while we're here once we are back in Port Charles and in your bed. I might even have to ensure you stay there for an extended period of time," he said with a wink.

Anna bit her bottom lip, "Promises," she said with a little grin. "If you do that I better be getting at least a 3-1 ratio."

"Oh at least. Trust me, you will not be disappointed." He kissed her again then they turned to wait for their bags again. Once they had them they left the airport.

Anna hadn't told them when their flight was going to be in so they just got a cab at the airport. When they got to Robin and Patrick's they were greeted by Robin and Noah. Emma was still at school and Patrick was at the hospital. "Hi, Mom, Dad. You know I would have picked you up," Robin said as she first hugged Anna then Robert.

"We are just used to finding our own way out of airports. Besides, this way you didn't have to worry about Noah being bored and getting fussy if our flight was late," Anna said as Robert picked up Noah, she watched Robert give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and smiled when Robert leaned closer to her. "Hello, Noah."

Robert was close enough that he and Noah could both give Anna a kiss on either cheek, "Hello Luv." Noah reached for her, so Robert passed him to her. "Love you Gramma."

"Oh, I love you too."

"I told him Luv is cute but that you are still Grandma."

Anna gave him a little cuddle, "Papa only calls me Luv some of the time too."

"I'll take these to the spare room," Robert said when he picked up their bags from by the door.

Once he was out of the room Robin grabbed Anna's arm and pulled her and Noah over to the couch. "Dish, what changed, what happened?"

"You must know that your father and I have always had feelings for each other. With everything I've been dealing with and having him around to help, add Finn's behaviour it just became very clear that the man that is going to make me truly happy wasn't the one I was with. There were things happening between Robert and I that shouldn't have been if I was truly happy in the relationship I was in."

"Like the flirting. Drinking so nothing else happened."

"Were we really that obvious about the flirting?"

"Only at the Nurses' Ball. You were both very touchy that night as well."

Anna smiled while Noah adjusted on her lap, "It was that kiss, then yeah the flirting it just started waking up all those old feeling and talking about our past. I think even if Finn had been being more supportive, there still would have been conversations about Robert knowing me, knowing it was always me never Alex."

"He went with you, right, when you went to go see her? How did Alex react to that?"

"At first he wasn't in the room and once he was she didn't see his face right away but she sure noticed when I started running my hand up the inner thigh of the man standing beside me."

"Yeah, that got my attention too," Robert said as he walked back into the room

Anna glanced up at him, "You had just told me you were still mine, didn't that mean I got to touch," Anna said with a suggestive smile. Robert just grinned as he sat down beside her.

"So what's going on, like really?" Robin asked.

Anna looked at Robert then back at her, "We're together. Um, we don't have all the answers yet but we both want this and for right now we know Robert is going to be spending his downtime in Port Charles."

"Together, not dating?" Robin asked.

"I think we past the go out for dinner see if we like each other see if we compatible or not stage," Robert said. "It was more of whether we were willing to risk the pain of losing each other again."

"I would rather take the chance of having him and possibly losing him than knowing I never took the chance at truly being happy again," Anna added as Robert stroked her hair. He leaned in and whispered something making Anna smile as she touched his chin.

Robin smiled watching them, "I did tell Emma you were coming together but I haven't told her that you're a couple now."

"Us sharing a bedroom might give that away," Robert said with a little grin.

"I was thinking you guys would tell her," Robin told them they all had smiles on their faces. Noah turned and started talking to his grandparents so Robin got up to do a few things letting them have a little time together.

...

Peter sat in his office late Friday evening playing with the DNA sample, he should get rid of it but for now, he felt it was safe in his office. He's told the people that might care that he got the results already and that yes Alex is his mother. Anna had been nice enough to tell him who he had to get in touch with so he can get in and talk to Alex. There does seem to be a lot more steps for him to go through than Anna had but that made sense he doesn't have WSB clearance. There was a lot that needed to be talked about and that should only happen face to face. He tossed the sample back into the pin on his desk then turned on his laptop. Since he was here he should at least appear to be working.

The world is now going to know that Alexandra Devane was the woman that had a child with Cesar Faison. That she was the one that had given up that child so his father would never know about him. Alex's plan might have worked if it wasn't for Valentin involvement, who knows where Peter's life may have led him if not for that. Even though he was trying to focus on the article he was reading Peter's thoughts keep drifting back to the meeting he hoped he would soon be having with his mother. With any luck he will know soon if he will be allowed to go see her then they can talk.

...

Emma walked into the living room with a grin on her face, she had spent the entire afternoon with her grandparents. The evening before they had told her they are a couple now and today she could tell it was true. "Were they always like that?" she asked her mom.

"What do you mean?" Robin asked.

"They've been sneaking quick little kisses all day, the hand holding. It's cute seeing them that happy but it's kind of strange seeing Grandma and Grandpa acting like that with each other."

"You're used to them as friends, not like this," Robin said with a smile then patted the couch beside her. "Do you think they're happy?"

Emma sat down beside her, "I think they are. They sure look happy."

"Your grandparents have only ever had very short periods of time together as a couple and unless something unthinkable happens, you are going to get to see them like this a lot more now."

"Good, they both just seem so happy," Emma said with a big smile.

Robin put her arm around her daughter, "Yes they do."

Anna was laughing as she and Robert entered the living room. Robert had his hand on her back, there was a little grin on his face. They sat down on the love seat, "Since we spent the day with Emma today we want to take Noah somewhere he'll like tomorrow," Anna told Robin.

"Can I still go along with you?" Emma asked.

"What if they take Noah somewhere first just the three of them then we can all do something together after. You're leaving Monday right?"

"Yeah our flight's early Monday morning," Robert answered.

Out of nowhere, Anna asked, "Did he say Adirondack's?"

"What's that Luv?" Robert asked looking at her.

"Oh, sorry just something Finn said the other day. It was just as you got to GH but I think he said something about him and I going to the Adirondack's." She looked at Robert, "Sorry, I don't even know why I thought of that, it does seem strange though."

"Why is that strange?" Robin asked.

"We never went there, not together."

"Oh," Robin said then looked at her dad. "You know what you are here for a visit, you can worry about that when you're back home."

"Oh thanks, let it be something she stresses about when I'm the only one there to hear about it," Robert said with a big smile as Anna elbowed him in the side.

"Maybe I miss heard him, I did get distracted just as he said that," she looked at Robert and winked.

"Well, what are we doing the evening?" Robert asked ready to change the subject.

"Papa. Where Papa?" they heard Noah calling.

"I think for the next little while you are playing with our grandson," Anna said.

Robert gave her a quick kiss then stood up, "I'm over here Noah, where are you?" then Robert walked out of the room.

Anna looked over and saw Robin and Emma smiling at her, "What?"

"It's just nice seeing that again," Robin told her still smiling.

Anna smiled, "It's very nice having it again too."
