Chapter 25
It was Monday morning and Robert was getting ready for the day, Anna was still lounging in bed watching him move around the room. "Are you staying there all day?" he asked smiling over at her.
"I might stay here a little longer then I think I'm going to have a nice long bath while you're gone. I like watching you." Anna was thoroughly happy. Friday evening they had told Robin that they were going to try to have a baby. She had been so excited that they could try for another child. As much as she had wanted a little brother or sister when she was young. She knew how much her mom had wanted another baby, she also knew her father would have loved to be a part of her entire life. If they could have a baby now she knew they would both be so happy.
Over the weekend they didn't see much of Mac, they weren't planning on telling him but it was a little strange that they had had the house almost completely to themselves this weekend. Not that any of them were complaining. It felt so right being together just the three of them in their home.
Robert came over to the bed, leaned over and kissed her lovingly. "Are you going to get a little more sleep?"
"Maybe, I'll try. Good luck."
Robert smiled the stood up and straightened his tie, "How do I look."
"Like the new commissioner of Port Charles."
"Mac didn't say that he resigned so I don't know why the mayor wants to see me."
"Alright, but good luck anyway."
Robert smiled at her then left the room. He walked through the house that he still thought of as home, as their home. He had his family back and he was about to start working on getting his life back as well. After all this time he just wanted to be the commissioner, he wanted to work to stop local crime, to protect the city that is his home. He wanted to make it better for the baby he truly hoped he and Anna would be blessed with.
Robert was surprised to see Mac waiting for him when he got to City Hall. "Hey bro what took you so long?"
"Morning Mac, I didn't know you were going to be here."
"I kind of have to be. Anna didn't come with you?"
"No, she wanted to take it easy this morning she has her appointment with Tony this afternoon. Where were you all weekend?"
"At The Outback, there were several things there I wanted to take care of."
"Oh," Robert wasn't going to push him for more information, Mac would tell him if he wanted to. "So if you're here can I assume I know why I was asked to come down here this morning?"
"You'll just have to wait to see what the mayor has to say."
"Fine," Robert checked his watch. "We better going, we don't want to keep the mayor waiting."
...
Anna had told Robert he didn't need to worry about coming with her for her checkup. She knew this was just another follow up to make sure everything was still fine. When she got there Tony greeted her happily, he got up and hugged her. "I know it's not normal to hug your patent but I am just so happy that you are here."
"I'm happy to be here too. Have you had a chance to look over my file?"
"Yes, I even got a phone call from one of your doctors, Dr. Merrick. She filled me in completely and wants me to keep her informed about your case."
"I told her I would, but I guess she can ask you questions that I might not fully understand. Did she tell you anything about herself?"
Tony looked at Anna wondering why she would ask that, "No, should she have?"
Anna smiled, "Alex just happens to be my twin sister. Identical twin."
"What?"
"We were separated at birth and never knew about each other. Our aunt kidnapped her and raised her as her own."
"Really? Well, you can tell me all about it while I do your examination."
Anna smiled again, "Alright," then she started telling him what she knew about what had happened.
...
Robert was just leaving City Hall when his cell phone started to ring, "Scorpio."
"Hello, Robert."
"Holly, why are you calling?"
"I have some news and needed to know where you are."
"Oh. Alright did you need to see me about something? Is there a problem with the divorce?"
"No, it's nothing like that. It is about the divorce though. Hugh and I didn't want to wait and he had his lawyers step in to get it finalized quickly."
"That's good to hear. Holly, I am very glad you found someone that makes you happy."
"He does, he really does. I'm calling because I wanted to know where you wanted the finalized divorce papers sent."
"To our house in Port Charles, that's where we staying now."
"Anna's out of the hospital?"
"Yes, and her memory is mostly back. She is actually at a follow-up appointment today here. Tony Jones has taken over her care."
"That is wonderful, I'm happy for you too, Robert."
"Thank you, Holly. That means a lot."
"Well, I will let them knew where the papers can be sent and you should have them by the end of the week."
"Thank you again."
"Robert, you sound very happy."
"I am."
"Well I don't want to take up any more of your time, goodbye Robert."
"Goodbye Holly."
He ended the call then started walking again, this really was turning out to be a good day. One of many he'd had lately, he thought with a smile on his face. Then he started making his way to General, he knew Anna said he didn't need to go with her but he had been at City Hall most of the day so he thought he would just meet her there after her appointment.
When Robert saw her, Anna was standing with Tony talking happily. He hoped that meant everything had gone well. "Hi," he said smiling at them both.
"Hi, what are you doing here?"
"I just finished up at City Hall so I thought I would surprise you."
"I'm glad you did."
"So tell me, Tony, is everything still OK?"
"Better than OK. Considering what I read about what she went through and what her sister told me. I am very pleased with how well she is healing and I don't need to see her for another month."
"That is wonderful," then Robert turned to Anna. "Did you ask about?"
"Oh," Anna smiled then turned back to Tony. "If I was to get pregnant would that cause any problem with my recovery?"
A broad smile formed on his face before he answered, "You two are trying to get pregnant?"
"Well it was something we had talked about looking into before and didn't get the chance, now we have," Anna told him. "Apparently, I should be able to have a baby so yes we are trying."
"That is very exciting news. And to answer your question, no getting pregnant will not cause any problem in your recovery."
Robert breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Tony. We just don't want to take any chances," Anna told him with a smile.
"Well I need to go check on some other patents but I will talk to you both again soon, bye"
After Tony had walked away Anna turned to Robert, "So?"
He smiled, "I get reinstated next Wednesday."
"You're commissioner again!" she threw her arms around his neck as she said it. "This is wonderful."
"That's not all." Anna leaned back a little to look at him. "I will be able to marry you very soon. Holly called to find out where to have the finalized papers sent. They should be here by the end of the week."
"Oh Robert," she kissed him full of passion right where they were. "This is wonderful."
...
It was Thursday when the papers arrived and Robert walked into the living room with them in his hand. Robin and Anna were both there and Mac was actually there as well. One of the few times they had seen him all week. "Well Anna, tomorrow you officially become Mrs. Scorpio again."
"They came. You're divorced?"
"Yup and can't wait to be married to you," Robert said as he sat down beside Anna wrapping his arms around her and kissing her lovingly.
"I know you are just going down to City Hall but I kind of want to be there," Robin said.
"Me too," Mac added.
Anna looked at Robert who gave her a slight nod, "We'd love it if you two are there."
"Remeber no big fuss, this is just so it's legal on paper. I married the woman I love back in '91."
"That's when I married the man I love and that is the day that will be the anniversary we go by."
Mac and Robin smiled at them, "I'm glad to hear that. I think that was one of the best days of my life," Robin told them.
"I have something else to tell you," Mac sat forwards a little. "I've been thinking about this a lot since I found out you're alive, especially after you said you wanted to move back here. This is your house, you two bought it. I've been spending the last week getting the apartment above the club ready for me to move in."
"What? What are you talking about?" Robert asked.
"Well, I've been painting and setting things up, that's where I've been spending most of my nights. I want a change too. This place has a lot of memories attached to it and they aren't all good ones. Tonight I'm going to get all my things packed up and as of tomorrow this will be your home again."
Anna had tears in her eyes, "You really mean that?"
"Yeah, this is your house always has been. I was just taking care of it for while you were gone."
Anna got up and gave him a hug, "Thank you, Mac."
