Chapter 3
Robin stared at her notes and tried to keep up her concentration. It wasn't easy, her and Patrick's little boy was kicking up a storm tonight. She smilingly rubbed her belly in the dim hope of getting him to settle down.
"Come on, this always works on your daddy."
"It would certainly work on me."
Robin stiffened up immediately. Over the past 6 months she had realized that she now had her own version of Cesar Faison and she was not happy about it. Jerry had always been creepy but lately he had taken it to another level. He took any chance he could to touch her and invade her personal space. He even once tried to touch her pregnant belly. Instinct took over and she immediately grabbed and then broke his wrist.
He had also taken to calling her his little bird. She felt sick to her stomach every time he said it.
"How goes the research my little bird?"
"Please, I am already nauseous, don't make it worse."
Jerry smiled. That was exactly why he loved the dear Dr. Scorpio-Drake. That fire, that spirit. She was beautiful and willful. She was also very protective of the people she loved which made getting her to do his bidding so much easier.
"I am working as fast as I can. Believe me; I want out of here as soon as possible. I want to go home to my husband and my daughter so we can be a family again."
"But can you? I mean once Patty boy finds out that you are responsible for his beloved son's death do you really think he will forgive you?"
Robin's heart broke when he said that. Knowing that she was the cause of that little boy's death and the pain Patrick and Emma went through was killing her. She had wanted to be with them after the accident when Gabriel was in the hospital and after he died but she couldn't risk something happening the Patrick or Emma. Tears welled in her eyes.
"You son of a bitch".
"Now, now – I thought you liked my mother. Don't worry my little bird, I will be here for you after your beloved Patrick leaves you. You will never be alone as long as I'm alive."
That thought chilled Robin right to the bone.
