Chapter 10

When Anna started getting tired Robert and Robin left and told her they would be back again later. They knew Alex wanted to talk to them some more so they went over to Wildwind. This time when they knocked they were shown right in. Alex greeted them and lead them into the sitting room. "I'm so glad you're both here, I can see how much it's helping Anna already."

"I'm just happy that my parents are both alive. I never thought I would see them again but now I have them back," Robin said. She couldn't stop smiling.

"Alex, we need to know who might be after Anna. If there is a threat we need to take care of that."

"I don't know for sure but I think it could be our aunt. She's the one that took me at birth, she wanted to mold me to replace Anna. Not long ago she was the one that took Dimitri."

"What's her name?"

"Charlotte Devane, I know she's connected to some bad organization but I'm not sure which ones."

"We can look into that. She's as good a place to start as any."

Robin pulled out her phone, "I'm going to start making some calls. When do you want them here?"

Robert looked at Alex, "Anna should be released tomorrow right?"

"Yes, she's healing well so there shouldn't be any reason for her to stay in the hospital much longer."

"Tell them to be here the day after tomorrow. They can all get the news at the same time."

"OK," then Robin excused herself and left the room.

"Who is she calling?" Alex asked.

"My brother and her godfathers."

"This is your team?" Alex wondered.

"Sean is who introduced Anna and I while we were all WSB agents, he's a former PI and current police chief in Boston. Frisco is a form police detective and current WSB agent. Mac, my brother, is a former PI and the current police commissioner of Port Charles. I think they're qualified."

"Yeah, I'd say they are. You aren't messing around are you?"

"Not about this. Anna needs time to recover and the faster we can find and stop the threat against her the better."

"I'm having the cottage cleaned right now, you and Robin will be staying there tonight."

Robert smiled, that's how Anna would have told him that too, don't ask just tell. He hadn't noticed much in common between them yet but there must be a few things. "Alright," he knew better than to argue. "Edmond lives here, doesn't he?"

"Yes, he does. I don't think he'll get in your way. I know he's been warned so if he ends up with a few bruises I'll understand why I guess."

"Alex when it comes to my family I am very protective. I will not take crap from anyone I don't care who they are."

"I see that and I know Anna will be in very good hands when she leaves the hospital tomorrow." Alex took his arm and lead him over to the couch and they sat down together, "I can tell you love each other. Before you got to the hospital she told me how you met. I am very happy that you are all going to be staying here so I can get to know all of you. I can already see the real Anna, she is very different than the confused woman that was so scared and in so much pain. Yeah, the treatments she's had helped with the pain but you and Robin have brought back who she is."

"There's still more she needs to remember, either she doesn't remember Duke yet or she just doesn't want to mention him. That right there tells me she still has a lot to remember."

"Duke Lavery, that was her second husband right?"

"Yeah, I see you've been doing some research of your own."

"I wanted to be able to help Anna so I thought if I could learn about her life I might be able to help her remember."

"I am very grateful for you and the care you have been giving her."

"She's my sister, even if we didn't know about each other before now I still need to help her."

Robin walked back over to them, "So they will all be here the day after tomorrow. I was amazed Frisco was so easy to track down, he was actually at home."

Robert let out a long breath, "I guess it's time to face the music."

"Dad they will all be happy. Uncle Mac might hit ya but he's missed his big brother."

Robert smiled, "I've missed him too. We had just reconciled, we've missed a lot of time together, him and I."

"They will all understand what you were doing and why. It just might take Uncle Mac a little longer not having been in the WSB."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Robert smiled up at her, "It sounds like we have to check out of the hotel before going back to see mom. Alex has informed me we are moving to the cottage this evening."

Robin smiled, "And you don't argue with a Devane about little things like this."

"I only argue with one Devane. She likes arguing with me too."

"Yeah," Robin laughed a little. "I guess there was only once where it was so bad the mature one had to get involved."

"Thirteen and you were the mature one?"

"I was then. You and mom were being ridiculous, both to bull headed to admit what you both felt. Too stubborn to apologize for things you both had said."

Robert put up his hands in surrender, "OK, you made us talk to each other. It was your mother that got through to me."

"Mom never did tell me. Just how did your shirt end up in her bedroom when she told me you weren't at the house that night?"

Robert laughed a little, "I was not in a position to stop her from taking it when she left that night."

"Why was your shirt off?" Robin asked with a big grin.

"I had hurt my shoulder earlier that day and she had given me a message."

"Right, why don't I believe that was all that was going on that night."

"Believe it or not that's why my shirt came off."

Robin considered what he was telling her, "Well that is more than mom ever told me. That was the night you two started finding your way back to each other though isn't it?"

"Yes, she left me with a lot to think about and insured I had time to do just that. That is all you need to know about that night, trust me."

"This sounds like it's something I might want to ask my sister about this," Alex said with a little grin.

Robert smiled at Alex, "She might tell you but she will never tell Robin."

"What's going on in here?"

They looked up and Alex got up, "I wasn't expecting you home yet." She walked over and gave him a hug and a kiss then they turned, "This is Robert and Robin Scorpio. Anna's family."

"You aren't dead."

Robert stood up, "No I am not. I take you would be Dimitri." Robert held out his hand and he shook it.

"Yes, I am." He shook Robin's hand next. "You are definitely your mother's daughter."

"I look like her, but everyone tells me I'm more like my dad."

"You take after both of us." They all went and sat down again, they talked and got to know each other a little better before Robert and Robin went back to visit Anna again.
