Anna quietly enters the hotel room with a small paper-bag in her hand. She smiles when she sees Robert asleep and sitting up against the headboard. His left hand is on William's back who is also sleeping surrounded by what appears to be a fort of pillows in the center of the bed. She has to stifle the urge to laugh, considering Robert's over protectiveness, coupled with the fact that William can't even roll-over by himself yet.
She approaches Robert and contemplates how to wake him without startling him.
"I'm not sleeping." He whispers as he opens his eyes and smiles at her.
"Hi, how did we do?" She says as she caresses the side of his face.
"Good, he's been sleeping for about an hour now. How did it go? Is everything ok with you? What did the doctor say?" He asks as she sits on the bed next to him.
"Relax, everything is fine. I got a clean bill of health, everything has healed properly so no worries." She smiles at the noticeable relief on his face. "But there is one thing we need to discuss." She says.
"What, what is it?" He asks trying to remain calm.
"Relax, Robert it's not serious. It's just that she recommends that I not go back on the pill until after William stops breast-feeding, so you know what that means." She says with a smirk on her face. He immediately catches on.
"I take it that's what's in the bag." He says looking at the package she still has in her hand.
"Yes, good guess." She says smiling.
"Oh and I had to tell her about this morning since, well, she kinda already knew. She was compelled to tell me that we took a chance considering we used absolutely no protection. The books say breast-feeding mother's usually have a reduced chance of getting pregnant, but that's not full-proof she told me. So guess what? I have another appointment to take a pregnancy test in two weeks." She says not really knowing what his reaction will be.
"I've actually been thinking about that since you left. I'm sorry, it's my fault I should have exercised a little more self-control this morning." He says to her meaning every word.
She is startled by his statement and it upsets her that he feels this way. "Robert, don't be ridiculous. I was there too remember? We were both swept up in the moment, well moments." She smiles at him. "If I am pregnant again, and that's a big if, I would consider it a blessing. That is something you should never apologize for." She says with conviction.
He nods, "I'm sorry it didn't come out right. You're right on all counts and I would be thrilled too" He says holding her hand
"It's ok." She smiles briefly then says. "Now going forward and for at least the next three months or so, the ball is in your court, so to speak." She says with a smile trying to lighten the mood. She dangles the bag in front of him and he takes it from her hesitantly and looks inside.
He looks back up at her like she's gone completely nuts. "Are you kidding me? I am not using these Anna." He says emphatically and with a sarcastic chuckle.
"Well, then we have a problem because that's all they had at this store unless you go and get them yourself. And just so you know, it was no picnic for me bringing these up to the counter. So, from now on this is your responsibility. Besides, what's the big deal? Only you and I are going to see them anyway." She says trying hard not to laugh but failing miserably.
"Anna, you're already laughing, this is going to be a helluva mood booster. Fine, whatever but just think of the scandal when the Police Commissioner of this city is reported buying these." He says trying to blackmail her into taking on the responsibility. It doesn't work.
"Nice try and get over yourself, no one is going to care." She says laughing.
Tiffany is still smiling as she remembers the conversation with the head of hotel security. She is beyond thrilled that Robert and Anna have reconciled. She was getting very nervous, knowing how completely stubborn and volatile they both are. She was also thrilled to learn that they had planned on having lunch here this afternoon. When she was initially planning this "chance encounter", she was only hoping for a possible run-in with Robert. However, this scenario is clearly much better than expected as she will possibly get a ring-side seat as their reconciliation plays itself out in direct view of Holly.
Holly sees Tiffany sitting by herself at a table in the dining room and notices that she is smiling to herself. "Hi Tiffany, I'm sorry I'm so late."
Tiffany is startled out of her thoughts and is relieved to see that Holly has indeed shown. "That's Ok, I haven't ordered yet. How are you? How's Mac, haven't seen him in a while?"
"I'm fine and Mac is fine, I guess he's just been a little busy lately, haven't seen much of him myself really." She says rather wistfully.
"I'm sure things will quiet down for him soon so that he can devote more time to you, so don't worry." Tiffany says observing her reaction very carefully. Holly responds with can only be categorized as disinterest.
"Yeah, I suppose." This angers Tiffany to think that she is using Robert's brother in this way, but she hides her feelings.
"Well, I know how you feel. Sean is always off somewhere. So, let's just make this a man-bashing lunch and see if that makes us feel better." She says trying to lighten the mood.
The waiter comes over to take their orders and then quickly returns with their drinks. At that moment, both see Robert coming through doorway alone as he is escorted to a table in the corner. Holly's expression reveals hope in that maybe things have not been resolved between Robert and Anna. He is alone but appears to be in good spirits as he converses with a waiter who hands him two menus. He has not noticed them at their table and stands when the waiter brings what appears to be an infant highchair. Tiffany is watching intently at Holly's reaction to this development and is not disappointed. As she watches Robert make room for the highchair, Holly's face reveals her true emotions. She is completely distracted, and Tiffany uses the moment to her advantage.
"Oh, there's Robert, I guess Anna must be joining him for lunch with the baby. I hope so, I haven't seen them both in over a week. He's probably grown so much already." She says nonchalantly.
"Yes, I'm sure he has." Holly responds looking away now. Just then Anna enters the dining room with William in his carrier and is escorted to the table in the corner. The look of happiness on both their faces when they make eye contact is quite noticeable. It is also noticeable to Tiffany that a few members of the dining staff are smiling and whispering to each other while looking at both of them. "They must be the talk of the hotel." She thinks to herself.
"That was strange." Anna says as she situates William and his carrier in the highchair.
"What?" Robert asks as he is helping her. She sits next to Robert, leans in close and whispers.
"I don't know. It's just the waiter and the hostesses were glaring and smiling at me and I swear I heard giggling. Don't look, but over there. A bunch of them are staring at us right now." She nods to an area behind him. Of course, Robert turns his head and she elbows him.
"I told you not to look." She whispers furiously.
He turns back to her. "Relax. They are probably just staring because a beautiful woman just walked in." She smiles at him.
"Good answer." She leans in and kisses him briefly. "But, your prejudice notwithstanding, I don't think that's it." She says picking up her menu.
"Well anyway, that's my answer and I'm sticking to it. How's junior? He looks content." He asks looking over at his son, who is busy sucking on his pacifier.
"He's very content actually. I'm glad I fed him upstairs so that we can enjoy our lunch, hopefully. He's such a good boy, we're very lucky." She says smiling at her son.
"He takes after his father of course. Give him what he wants, and you will hear no complaints." He says.
"Really? Is that all it takes to keep your mouth shut? I'll have to remember that." She responds sarcastically, looking at her menu.
"Love, I don't think keeping my mouth shut is really what you want is it? You certainly appreciated it open this morning." He banters back quickly trying to embarrass her for her comment and succeeding. "Robert!" She whispers as loud as she can and kicking him under the table as the waiter has approached.
She's not sure if he heard that last comment. The waiter proceeds to set their drink orders on the table and tells them their waitress will be over to take their lunch orders shortly. He leaves with a slight smirk on his face that both of them notice.
"I ordered you a club soda." He says to her still laughing to himself noticing her face is red with embarrassment. As she takes a sip of her drink she notices his smirk and vows to get even. She is silent for a few moments while plotting her revenge.
"Thank you" she says leaning into him. "And thank you very much for this morning too. It was…. incredible." She whispers in her most seductive voice. Then lightly licks his ear lobe.
At the same time she places her right hand very high on his thigh. He almost drops the glass he is holding. He is stunned even further as her hand reaches its goal and remains. He is now in full panic mode and fights the involuntary urge to close his eyes as he sees their waitress approaching. The waitress reaches their table and asks if they are ready to order yet. At this point, Robert physically cannot use his voice as his wife continues her activity on him under the table, unbeknownst to their waitress. A sheen of perspiration is forming on his forehead as his face begins to turn very red.
Anna looks at him and asks innocently while trying to pretend that nothing unusual is happening. "Robert, are you ready?" He can only shake his head in the negative pretending to read his menu.
She asks the waitress, "Can you give us a few more minutes? Thank you." With that, the waitress leaves the table and Anna removes her hand just as abruptly, leaving him on the ledge. She turns her attention to William, who has fallen asleep, to remove the pacifier from this mouth.
When she turns back, Robert's face is millimeters from hers. "You are in so much trouble." He says, and then kisses her passionately before she has the chance to speak. She can't help but respond and in fact is swept away by it. He quickly pulls back reluctantly. Visibly affected, she tries to respond as calmly as she can.
"Well, um, you deserved that." She says with a semi-satisfied smile, not knowing now who was taught a lesson in that exchange.
Tiffany notices that even while she is trying to keep a conversation going, Holly has witnessed the entire scene taking place between Anna and Robert and is distracted. Though they cannot hear what is being said, it is quite obvious that they have resolved the issues they have been struggling with and this pleases Tiffany very much. A fact she tries to hide.
"Holly, is something wrong?"
"No why do you ask that?" Holly responds a little defensively.
"Holly, please you can not fool me. One of the prerequisites of my job is being able to read people and what I am reading from you is telling a very understandable story." Tiffany says as gently as she can.
"I don't know what you're talking about Tiffany." She says rather weakly.
"Look, I can see it on your face. You're still in love with him aren't you? Believe me I understand Holly. You were married to him, things did not end well and now all of a sudden you are in each other's lives again, but this time he is not your husband. All those weeks that Anna was gone, you both resolved maybe some of the issues. You both put the past behind you, maybe temporarily, to focus on Robin and Faison's ever-looming presence" She says laying all the cards on the table.
At the mention of Faison's name, Holly's eyes temporarily widen. It does not go unnoticed by Tiffany, but she presses on trying to get her to open about her feelings for Robert.
"Holly, you can talk to me. I've known you for a long time; we have been through a lot together. Things I will never forget, quite frankly. Anything you say to me, will be kept in the strictest confidence, I can assure you." Holly exhales heavily while looking directly at Tiffany. She believes what her "friend" is saying, but can she trust her? They have been through a lot together and she has always been a good friend to both her and Robert. Right now she feels so alone. She can't even tell her family what is happening with her and with Robert because they won't care. The only thing they want her to focus on is covering their involvement in the Cartel and her connection to Faison.
"I don't know what to say, except yes, I suppose I am still in love with him. I probably always will be. It's not something I am proud to admit, but it is the truth." She says finally.
"I understand and I sympathize, I do. But I have to ask, what about Mac, what are your feelings for him? Does he know anything about this?"
"I really do care for Mac, Tiffany, I do. He is so much like Robert, which is probably why I was with him in the beginning. I know it's not fair to him, but I think there might be a future for us, a real future." She lies.
"Yes, but being with Mac, I think, only makes your situation worse doesn't it? He is his brother after all and they are a very close family. I just don't want to see either you or Mac hurt. I mean, you have to know that Robert is incredibly happy right now. In all honesty, and please don't take offense to this, I have never seen either one of them happier, as you can see." Tiffany declares.
"I know that Tiffany, I do. But like I said, I am committed to this relationship with Mac. He is a good man and he treats me very well. We are good together. We have the same interests and he is very accommodating. I have invested too much time and sacrificed too mu.." She stops herself knowing she was ranting and that she just revealed too much. Tiffany quickly catches it and jumps on it.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing Tiffany, it's just bad choice of words. I just meant that with all the traveling, my work and everything. I promise you no one will get hurt, least of all Mac." She says trying to recover and deflect but it doesn't work. Tiffany is not buying it. It just solidifies her suspicions. She was involved somehow, someway with this Faison disaster and it sickens her. She has had enough of this game of cat and mouse. Sean had better find a way to either prove her connection in this mess or disprove it and soon or she will not be able to stop herself from taking action.
They both notice at the same time, Anna handing William to Robert. He holds his son with such pride as he smiles at Anna while she hangs on Robert's shoulder and holding the baby's hand. It's like a knife in Holly's heart as she sees Anna and Robert kiss briefly and Holly cannot hide her feelings. At the same time, Robin walks in and hugs both her parents and gives William a gentle kiss on his forehead. To Tiffany it is a heart-warming picture of her best friends enjoying being a family, to Holly it is a nightmare.
"Hello, daughter of mine. How was school today? Are you getting back into the swing of things again?" Anna asks as Robin sits down next to her.
"It's been a long week Mom. I have so much homework already, and I've only been back three days." Robin complains.
"You're in High School now Robin, so it's only going to get harder. But knowing how incredibly smart and talented my daughter is, I know she can handle it." She says jokingly while putting her arm around her. "Yeah right" She laughs. "How's William, I really missed him today. Oh and Dad, I missed you this morning too, I didn't even hear you leave." Robin says while carefully receiving William from her mother. Robert and Anna look at each other briefly, but Robert responds quickly,
"Sorry Love, I had some things to take care of so I needed to leave very early. But I am very glad you are here now because I missed you too." She looks up from William and smiles at her Dad.
"Are you hungry Robin because I ordered you the usual?" Anna asks her daughter.
"I'm starved, thanks. So, what are we doing tonight?" She asks while looking at William. Anna looks a little surprised at the question
"I thought you asked me the other day if could stay at Jodi's tonight since its Friday?"
"Yeah, well I changed my mind. I thought maybe we could do a movie night. What do you think?" She says looking at her parents.
"Um, sure, absolutely. If that's what you want." Robert says pleasantly surprised.
"Great, but I get to pick the movie this time." Robin replies.
"That's fine, but you know the rules." Anna says.
"Yes, Mom, I do."
William is starting to get fussy and is not far away from a full-blown cry. "Here, I'll take him, sweetheart." Anna says.
"It's ok Mom, I'll just walk around with him in the lobby for a little while. He'll be fine." She says as she gets up and expertly puts him to her shoulder.
"Okay, but if he gets hysterical just come and get me, so don't leave the lobby area." She says while proudly watching her daughter.
"Okay, I'll just be right outside the restaurant over there." Robin replies to her mother as she begins to walk away.
"She's amazing our daughter you know?" Robert says watching her walk away and noticing William has already calmed down.
"She is, isn't she?" Anna says smiling. "She's so good with him and she is such a huge help. I was a little worried that she would feel overwhelmed when William came along but she has been such a great big sister. I'm so proud of her." She pauses briefly. "Robert I know we decided on asking Mac to be William's Godfather, I think we should have Robin as his Godmother. What do you think? I know it's a little unusual, but she is fourteen years older than him and I know she would take this very seriously and she is so good with hi…."
"Anna, I think it's a fantastic idea and she'll be absolutely thrilled." He says interrupting her rambling. She smiles at him.
"Good then its settled. We can tell her tonight before the movie. Oh, and we have to be nice, no matter what movie she chooses. I have to say though that I'm a little surprised she wants to spend Friday night at home with us."
"Yeah, what's that about?" Robert asks looking at her.
"I don't know, but I'm going to enjoy it while I can, it probably won't last."
She chuckles and then turns serious again. "It's amazing you know when you think about it." She says.
"What?"
"You know us, a family with the requisite house, 2 kids and the family dog. I never thought we would have this, that I would have this. We have a daughter and a son and it's the four of us now." She says wistfully while smiling at him.
"I know what you mean, it is almost unbelievable. Just think, us, the jet-setting spies are now Ward and June Cleaver. Who would have thought?" He says chuckling.
"I wouldn't go that far, but it is unbelievable though." She says laughing.
"Well believe it because it's true and we deserve it all, every bit of it." He says earnestly grabbing her hand and kissing it.
"We do, don't we?" She asks emotionally. He nods and kisses her.
"Just a thought, but should we really trust her to pick a movie though? Oh well it doesn't matter, I'm just really looking forward to tonight, just the four of us, especially after last night." He says taking a sip of his drink, not realizing how his last statement has affected her. Moments of silence pass before she is able to speak.
"Robert."
"Yeah?" He responds absently without looking at her.
"Promise me something?" She asks.
"Anything." He says now looking at her.
"Promise me you'll always come home to us, no matter what happens." She says looking tearfully into his eyes. He knows what she means. He knows he made a huge mistake the previous night by not going home, especially after all that has happened over the last year. Once again he let his pride cloud his judgment and he walked away from it without facing it head on. He vows to her and himself to never let it happen again.
"Always, I promise, no matter what, I will always come home to you." He says. She gently grabs his head and gives him a lingering kiss as Robin returns with a sleeping William. Upon seeing her parents, she smiles and is relieved to know that the tension between them over the last day appears to be gone. She was beginning to worry that something was wrong again and felt a family night together would hopefully go a long way. It seems that she didn't need to worry. She rolls her eyes in embarrassment and she clears her throat quietly.
"Good job, Robin." Anna whispers proudly as she pulls back from Robert and notices William is sleeping soundly. As they are finishing up their lunch, William begins to fuss again.
"He might need changing, I'll be right back." Anna says about to get up. "I'll help you Mom. I'm done with my lunch." Robin says grabbing the diaper bag for her mother.
When Tiffany turns her attention back to Holly, she notices in astonishment that it is not Robert, Holly is glaring at, but Anna as she walks away with William and Robin. It is a look that immediately sends a chill up her spine. It is all at once a mixture of disgust, envy and possibly hatred. As Tiffany finishes paying the check, she thanks Holly for joining her for lunch and that if she ever needs to talk, she will always be just a phone call away. She knows that Holly will not take her up on her offer, but she had to say it on the slight chance that she might. As they proceed to walk out of the restaurant, they both notice that Robert is sitting alone. Tiffany tells Holly she wants to stop by and say hello to Robert.
"I actually have an appointment Tiffany. So give him my regards." Holly says while continuing to walk in the other direction, so as not to be noticed.
"I will." She replies with an air of condescension. Tiffany sits down at Robert's table and immediately gets to the point. "So I take it all is well in Scorpio land again." She says smiling.
"Yes, if you must know. Things have been resolved." He says smiling.
"Good, I'm glad, I really am. You know you two are quite a pair." She says meaning more than she wants to let on. One day she will reveal all she knows, but she will save that chip when they all need a good laugh.
"Robin, can you bring me the diaper bag?" Anna asks as she is laying William on his blanket on the couch in the ladies room. As she is removing William's onesy, she asks Robin to get a baby wipe out the diaper bag. Anna suddenly and horrifyingly remembers that she placed the paper bag from the drugstore in the diaper bag.
"No, no. Wait, I'll get it."
"Mom, I'm right here. I can get it." Robin says like her mother is losing her mind and as she is already reaching into the bag. A look of shock suddenly comes over her face as she sees some of the contents of the paper bag that have fallen out. Anna is absolutely horrified. She knows instantly what her daughter has discovered.
"Mom, we've talked about this before, many times before." She says rolling her eyes.
"I know that sweetheart, but it has been a while and a lot has happened since last Christmas. I just want to make sure that you have not forgotten what I said." Anna says to her daughter. They are now sitting in the lobby outside the ladies room.
"Mom, I haven't forgotten and nothing has changed for me since last year as far as that is concerned."
"Good, that makes me very happy. More than you know." Anna says with relief. She knows that Robin has had several dates with different boys since last year. She also knows that Roger didn't turn out to be a steady boyfriend much to her relief. She feels Robin is way too young to commit herself in that way knowing what it leads to these days with teenagers.
"Mom, you still didn't answer my question though. Mom?" Robin says trying to get her mother's attention.
"I know and I'm not sure if I should. I mean, it's between your father and me, understand?" Anna says. Robin is instantly relieved, but then a little shock settles in at that statement.
"So they're yours? You didn't buy them for me?" Robin says.
"What? For you? Are you insane? Why would you think I would buy them for you? What are you not telling me Robin?" Anna shouts but then tries to lower her voice noticing the other people in the lobby are now staring at her.
"Nothing, Mom, I swear. I've told you everything. It's just that a couple of my friends' parents have given them these things and they were totally humiliated, so I thought…. So you mean those are for you?" Robin says. Anna accepts her daughter's declaration but struggles to answer her question.
"First of all, at your age this would be the last thing I would buy for you, trust me on that." Anna says while holding William and proceeding to talk baby talk to him to make him laugh. She is desperately trying to evade Robin's last question.
"Mom?" Robin says. Anna looks at her with a frustrated look.
"Robin, like I said, it's between your father and me." Robin gives her mother the same look.
"Alright, boy you are nosey. Look, let's just say that your father and I feel that having another baby right now is probably not the best idea. Not that we wouldn't be absolutely thrilled, it's just that we think we have our hands full, you know, with both you and your brother at the moment." She says proud of herself that she was able to get that out with as little detail as possible and focuses her attention back to William.
"Oh." Robin says with a confused look on her face. "I don't get it though. I mean you just had William. Can't you guys exercise some self-control?".
Anna is utterly shocked. She tries not to raise her voice so as not to scare William. "Excuse me young lady, let's not forget who you're talking to here." She says through clenched teeth. Robin instantly regrets her last statement based on her mother's face and realizes instantly that she crossed a serious line.
"Sorry, Mom, I didn't mean it the way it sounded." She says seeing how angry her mother is. Anna raises her eyebrows as if to say "that better be the case". She continues, "I just thought people were supposed to wait a lot longer after having a baby that's all." She says rather shyly.
'Where do I pull the lever for the safe to fall on me?' Anna thinks to herself as she looks heavenward. "Who told you that? Never mind, look, God how do I say this?" She pauses while looking at William in her arms. She wanted an open and honest relationship with her daughter and well now she has to do her part if she wants her daughter to continue to confide in her. "Um, okay. Well I went to the doctor today as you know and well it was a checkup to make sure everything with me is normal, which it is. An appointment like I had today is scheduled for mother's six weeks after having a baby to make sure they are healthy, and everything is back to normal." She says knowing full well that she sounds like she's reading from a textbook.
Anna also sees that it's not getting through based on the look on Robin's face. She reluctantly continues trying another approach.
"Robin, when you are older, much older you will understand. Um, okay, when two people love each other as much as your father and I do, they need to express that love for each other, and they are not expected to wait for months after having a baby to do that. So, when the doctor says we need to use other birth-control methods because it would be better for me and for William, we follow those instructions. Understand?" She asks Robin who has an expression on her face that she hasn't seen before.
Anna continues on hoping she is getting through. "Remember Robin as I have said to you many times before, protection is not just for pregnancy, it's for protection against disease. I'm very lucky because your Dad and I love each other very much. We have known each other for a long time and we know each other's history. We are committed to each other and know we will be together for the rest of our lives. He accepts his responsibilities and takes them very seriously because he knows that it's better for me and for William right now. Look Robin, what I'm trying to say is that I just hope you wait until you find someone who loves you just as much and takes their responsibilities just as seriously. It's your body Robin. You and only you are in control. Please tell me you understand." Anna asks hoping this is the end of the conversation.
"Yes, Mom, I understand believe me." She says smiling at her mother.
"Good, but just do me a favor will you?" Anna asks.
Robin braces herself. "Sure."
"For the sake of your father's sanity and subsequently mine, please don't tell him about this conversation, well for a couple of reasons, but most importantly he can barely handle you dating at all. Knowing other parents are giving these out will send him over the edge." Anna states emphatically.
"Trust me Mom, I can barely have this conversation with you. But I Just have to ask one more question though and I promise it's the last one." Robin says with a serious look on her face. Anna has the feeling she is going to regret it but says anyway.
"Okay, shoot."
Robin asks honestly because she truly does not understand. "It's just,….why are they glow–in-the-dark?"
Holly, unnoticed standing at a payphone, has heard this entire conversation between Anna and Robin. Hearing Anna describe in detail her relationship with Robert, their love for one another as well as their sex life has triggered something deep inside her. It is a deep hatred and resentment for a woman that has ruined her entire life from the moment she first arrived in Port Charles seven years ago. It is because of her and only her that she and Robert are not together right now. She knows that if Anna remains in Robert's life there is no chance for her to regain what she once had regardless of her plans of using Mac to bridge the current gap. It is a realization that both frightens her but gives her the determination she needs to finally get back everything that belongs to her.
She sees Robert come out into the lobby from the dining room with Tiffany. She continues to remain unnoticed by the payphone alcove area. She watches as he approaches Anna and Robin. Tiffany instantly goes for William who is in Anna's arms as both women fawn over him.
"Hey little man I haven't seen you in a week. Anna he is growing like a weed." She says as she takes him from Anna's arms.
"I know, I don't think he inherited my height DNA." She responds.
"Thank God for that." Robert says with a smirk. She glares at her husband who takes the moment to pull her aside for a private conversation.
"Tiff, can you take William and Robin out to Anna's car, she'll be there in a moment."
"Of course, come on Robin let's get all this stuff together." She responds knowing they need a moment alone.
Once they are alone, he pulls into a more private area which is directly next to the payphone alcove.
"I don't want to, but I have to at least make an appearance in the office this afternoon, I'll be home in a few hours, in plenty of time for movie night." He says to her as he places his hands on her waist. He kisses her tenderly. "I just wanted to tell you again, how sorry I am for the last 24 hours and for putting you through this. I love you more than anything, don't ever forget that." He says looking into her eyes.
She places her hand on his cheek and tears form in her eyes seeing the raw emotion and regret on his face. She knows how hard it is for him to be so emotionally open.
"I know and I love you Robert. Nothing is ever, ever going to change that." She kisses him and wraps her arms around his neck as they hug each other tightly.
"So no more fighting from now on" He says as they pull back from each other. She looks at him like he's nuts.
"You're kidding right? Besides what fun is there in that?" She moves to stand very close as she kisses him and says. "Take away the fighting, then we miss out on the mind-blowing make-up sex. Oh and just so you know, I plan an early bed-time for all the Scorpios tonight." She purrs kissing him deeply one last time and walking away with a self-satisfied smirk.
He watches her walk away appreciating the view. She turns her head to look at him giving him a sultry smile. "That woman is going to be the death of me." He says to no one in particular.
After they all leave, Holly comes out from the pay phone area with tears streaming down her face, but also with a look of murderous rage.
