Chapter 22

Once they were in the spare room Anna turned and Robert took her in his arms and Anna put her head against his chest. "How are you doing?"

"I feel tired, my mind is going a mile a minute but it's all good things. How long do you think before more people start showing up here?"

"I don't know but I think the best thing we can do is get a little rest before that happens, I don't want you overdoing it on your first day back."

"I guess we should get in bed then." She smiled up at him then went and sat on the bed. As he walked toward her and started unbuttoning his shirt, Anna smiled back at him and pulled her top off. "You're right we should be comfortable."

"That's what I was thinking. Comfortable, satisfied." Robert started to undo his belt and Anna smiled when he bent forward and kissed her. "Yours first," he undid her pants and removed them.

"I want you."

Her words went straight through him. He needed her now. Robert kissed his way up her body slowly. When he made it to her ear, "Remember there's a house full of people downstairs."

Anna giggles then turned her head to kiss him, "I seem to remember we got good at being quiet in this house. It was always better when we didn't have to be though." Anna's hands moved down his body and slid his pants and underwear down at the same time.

Robert then removed her underwear and slowly placed kisses over her body, "We're home Luv." His hands trailing behind his lips sending shivers through her body, Anna moaned softly.

"Make love to me," her hand roamed over his back as he slowly came back to her lips. "Robert, I want you."

He nodded then started kissing her neck, "I love you, Anna."

Anna threw her head back as he entered her, then they made love. "I love you too Robert," she said with her head on his chest then fell asleep in his arms.

...

It was a couple hours later when Robert started stroking her hair. "I think we should get up soon, Luv."

"I know but I'm really happy where I am." Robert smiled and kissed her head before she started to get out of bed. "Do you have any idea what's happening tonight?"

"None what so ever. Just get dressed if we have to change again because they want to take us out we will."

"That makes sense." She smiled at Robert as he started getting dressed. "I am so happy."

"So am I. Now hurry up and get dressed before they send someone up here to check on us," he said with a smile making her laugh.

When they went downstairs they found Robin sitting with Mac. "Are you the only two here?"

"No. The girls are working on their homework. Felicia is in the kitchen with them in case they need help. Tony left a little while ago and Sean took Tiffany and Annie to get checked in at their hotel."

"Tonight we are all going to The Outback to celebrate. I hope you don't mind but several of your friends have been called and asked to be there tonight. We haven't told them why just that something will be revealed tonight." Mac was smiling, "I hope you two are in the mood to shock a few people tonight."

"Aunt Tiff has called in a few favours and there will be news coverage there tonight," Robin added.

"I think that sounds wonderful," Anna said and smiled up at Robert. "Alex gave me a few dresses, she thought I might need them just in case."

"That's good," Robert looked up at Mac.

"Oh right, Felicia said she put it the closet in your room," Mac confirmed without Robert having to ask.

"Sounds like I should have a few suits here as well. I've been moving around so much I just have my things sent to my next known location so I have them."

"Well, then Mr. Scorpio I guess we should get ready for a night out."

"Do you know who all is going to be there?" Robert asked still smiling.

"No, but there should be a lot of your friends there. I have to go see what kind of clothes I still have here," Robin said then got up and left the room.

"You still run The Outback?" Robert asked.

"I own it but really don't have much to do with the day to day things any longer. Your job keeps me too busy for that kind of thing."

"We still don't know if that is something the city would ever consider."

Anna took his hand, "You are going to be commissioner again, stop acting like they won't welcome you back with open arms."

Quietly, "I hope you're right, Luv." They had talked about this a few time since Mac and Sean had mentioned it. Anna knew how much he really wanted it and that was why he didn't want to get too excited or make a big deal about it.

"Well, why don't we all go get ready. I told the people I invited the big reveal would be at 8 o'clock," Mac told them as he got up and left the room as well.

...

As the club started to fill up there was a buzz of excitement, everyone talking and speculating about what could be going on. Alan and Monica were there with Ned and Emily even Edward had come along with them, he curiosity getting the better of him. Bobbie was there sitting with Ray and Tony, she knew Tony knew something but had given up trying to get it out of him. There were even several police officers there, Guy Lewis was sitting at a table with a couple of them. A few doctors and nurses it was a real mix of people. As Mac looked around he was glad to see that people he hadn't invited hadn't taken it upon themselves to show up. Robin was coming with Sean and Tiffany and he wanted her to enjoy herself tonight and not worry about what Jason Sonny or Carly might have to say to her.

Luke came in shortly before eight and made his way over to Bobbie's table. "So Barbara Jean what's so important that I have to be here instead of my club tonight?"

"I don't know yet, but I think Tony does."

"I do and trust me, Luke, you want to be here for this."

"Is that all I get? No hints, just that I want to be here for this?"

"Yes, that's all any of us got out of him," Bobbie said with a smile.

"There Felicia, maybe I should go say hi."

"Are you trying to start a fight? This is Mac's club this is a special night for him. He's sitting with her leave his wife alone," Bobbie warned.

"Fine," Luke sat back and ordered a drink when the waiter came by.

Sean and Tiffany wanted to make sure Annie would be OK at the Scorpio's, the babysitter didn't mind having an extra kid to watch and Annie and Georgie were getting along great so they shouldn't have anything to worry about. They were going to arrive just before eight. There had been a table set up for all of them, so far Mac and Felicia were the only two sitting at the table for seven.

There was a bit of a commotion when Sean Tiffany and Robin all walked in, none of them had been seen in Port Charles for some time. When they joined Mac and Felicia at their table Mac gave the crowd a bit of time to settle down before taking the stage.

"Good Evening and welcome to The Outback. Now I know most of you don't know what is in store for this evening but I am very glad to see so many of you here this evening. All will be revealed in due time but first I want to take you all on a little trip down memory lane." He gave them a moment waiting for the mumbling to settle down. "Many of the people I see here this evening were actually here the first night I held any type of event here. The Outback wasn't even really opened for business yet. I think I had just bought it. That was almost ten years ago. That was a very special night for me and my family as it was the rehearsal dinner for my big brother Robby and his wife to be, Anna. Looking around I also see that almost the entire wedding party is here this evening." Mac paused and looked around the room, "We've got the bridesmaid, Felicia Bobbie and Tiffany. The maid of honour, their daughter Robin. I noticed both Tony and Guy are here, only Micheal Schultz missing from that group. I was best man and the man that introduced them, Sean Donely gave the bride away. I can tell by the looks I am getting from many of you. You are wondering why I'm talking about their wedding." He paused again to smiled out at the crowd, "I am talking about their wedding because I have been thinking about that much too short of a time they had together a lot for the last couple weeks. Ever since I got a phone call from my niece telling me she needed me to go to Pine Valley Pennsylvania. It wasn't only me that got that call, she also called her godfathers. Let me tell you when I saw Sean Donely and Frisco Jones there as well I got very worried. The three of us followed the directions we were given and we were all shocked by what was waiting for us. I guess it would be more accurate to say who was waiting for us."

As he said that the curtains behind him shifted some and two people walked up behind him. There were gasps and murmuring all over the room then stunned silence fell over the room as they all stared at Robert and Anna.

"My big brother left here to do one thing. That was to bring Anna home," Mac put his hand on Robert's shoulder. "It took him a lot longer than he thought it would and they have both been through a lot but your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I'd like you all to help me welcome Robert and Anna Scorpio back home."

Cheers broke out in the room as everyone started to clap, a few people even yelled out welcome home. Robert and Anna waved at the people gathered there and took advantage of everyone talking about them to go over to their table. They didn't bother sitting down because they knew it was only a matter of time before people started coming over to them.

Bobbie leaned across the table, looked right at Tony, "How did you know?"

He smiled, "I am taking over Anna's medical treatment. Believe me, I was just as shocked as you are when Anna medical file was sitting on my desk and I saw that I have an appointment with her in just over a week."

"When was this?" Luke asked.

"Yesterday, I called Felicia and she confirmed it but told me not to say anything because they would be here today."

"Tell me later, I have to go see them." Then Bobbie got up and all but ran over to her friends, with a huge smile she hugged Anna. Then grabbed Robert and hugged him too. "You're real. You're both really here." Luke followed her a little slower.

Guy had made his way over too, "It is great to see you, boss." Robert smiled at him then the two men hugged. Guy turned to Anna, "This is just incredible," and hugged her as well.

When Guy stepped back Luke step forward, just looking at Robert, then he grinned, "Hello Scorpio."

Robert grinned back, "Spencer."

"So not dead after all. Been there."

"Yeah, it's good to see you. We'll have to catch up later." Robert didn't miss the death stared Mac was giving Luke or the fact Felicia was now very focused on her glass of wine. As more people made their way over to them Luke excused himself and went back to his table. As happy as he was to see Robert he knew he wasn't wanted here so he told Bobbie that he had to get back to his club.

Many people came over to greet them and see for themselves that it truly was Robert and Anna. When Robert and Anna were finally able to take their seats Mac got back up on stage. "I hope everyone enjoyed this surprise. This should be all over the news by morning and you can tell people you were here to see it for yourselves. Now I want everyone to have a good time and enjoy themselves tonight. This is a celebration so let's party!" With a big smile, he left the stage as the music started again and joined his family.

Sean was the first one to make a toast, he lifted his glass and got the attention of everyone at the table. "I never thought I would ever see a night like this but here we are. To Anna and Robert, welcome home." They all raised their glasses for the toast. Their waiter came over and took their orders, a few more people came over to say hello and welcome back.

When the song changed to a slow song Robert turned to Anna, "There's something we haven't done yet," he said with a smile then stood up and offered Anna his hand. "Will you dance with me?"

Anna smiled up at him and took his hand, "I would love to." When they took the floor and started dancing they were meet with more cheers from the people there. "This kind of reminds me of that first night we were ever here. The one Mac was talking about before. The night before our wedding day."

"I know it does. Anna Devane, I will marry you over and over and over. I don't care how many times it takes to make it stick. You are the only woman I ever want."

She smiled at him, "You only have to do it once more and that is just so it's legal. I am your wife. You are my husband. That's all there is to it." Then she kissed him lovingly as they continued to dance.
