A/N It is the end! (gasp)
Thanks so much for all the reviews throughout the story!
Song: Yes I Will by the Backstreet Boys (I have recently developed a mild obsession with the song. Lol.)
Disclaimer: I own nada!
Patrick Drake paced nervously back and forth in the room they supplied the groom with at the church. He was getting married today, to Robin, Robin Anna Devane-Scorpio the woman he loved more then anyone else. If you had told him a little over a year ago that he would be marrying Robin, he would have laughed in your face and then rushed you into surgery while Robin shouted at him loudly that you so obviously needed one of her drug therapies, as cutting into your head could possibly worsen your obviously poor mental state. But here he was pacing back and forth, the ceremony would be starting soon, and he was a wreck. His dad had been there earlier but as Noah was unable to contain his laughter at his son's mental state, Pete while looking extremely amused had sent him to go visit Robin.
Patrick was grateful for that but he wasn't so thrilled with everyone's obvious amusement. Robert, too, had been amused, but first he had made sure to inform Patrick that if he hurt his little girl that he would hunt him down and kill him, and he had a license to kill in fifty-three countries. Anna has shooed him away but had given Patrick a look that said I'm-sure-you-won't-hurt-her-but-if-you-do-you'll-be-sorry-and-Robert-will-be-the-least-of-your-problems-because-you'll-be-dead-before-he-even-finds-out. Patrick was extremely concerned about what kind of family he was marrying into. His concern increased tenfold when Mac had come in and told him that he would find a way to have him arrested if he so much as thought about ever hurting Robin, and then scariest of all he had smiled winked and said 'I hope you guys are very happy together'. Patrick was positive that every member of this family needed their head examined. Patrick twisted his hands nervously and resumed his pacing.
"Relax." Pete said sounding as always perpetually amused.
"…I AM relaxed!" Patrick exclaimed.
"Er, right." Pete responded as he leaned against the wall.
"Shut up." Patrick said glaring at his best man.
"I said you were right!" Pete said looking innocent. Patrick rolled his eyes at his friend and glared at him furiously. "All right, then, I'm going to go check on your lovely bride." Pete said backing out of the room when Patrick clenched his fists looking as though he were itching to strangle his friend. Pete spun around when he crashed into a short brown haired woman.
"Watch where you're going." Brenda Barrett said.
"Rude, aren't we?" Pete inquired raising an eyebrow.
"Just move out of my way, Robin wants me to check on Patrick."
"And who exactly are you?" Pete asked.
"I could ask you the same thing." Brenda answered.
"I asked first." Pete said purposefully leaning against the door to the room she sought entrance to.
"Just move out of my way." Brenda said frustrated as she pushed her bangs out of her eyes.
"You could just tell me what your name is." Pete said rationally.
"I would, but I'm not going to, however, if you happen to be and I use the term lightly the best man, Robin was screaming something along the lines of, If that stupid ass of a best man doesn't come to my room right now and get something and give it to Patrick I will kill him." Brenda said with a smirk. Pete paled considerably at her words; he had never liked testing Patrick's fiancée's patience. He quickly sidestepped Brenda and headed hurriedly down the hall and to the other end of the church where the bride's room was. Brenda waved at him sarcastically and knocked on Patrick's door before walking in.
I open my eyes I see your face
I cannot hide I can't erase
The way you make me feel inside
You complete me girl, that's why
Something about you makes me feel
Baby my heart wants to reveal
I'm down on my knees, I'm asking you
So these three words I wanna hear from you
"You wanted to see me?" Pete inquired after knocking on the door and having Liz open it and wave him inside.
"Yes. Give this to Patrick." Pete took it from Robin, who was wearing a robe, having not yet gotten dressed. Her hair was up and styled and her makeup was done. "Now, how is Patrick?" Robin said sitting down on a couch in the room.
"He's great." Pete lied smoothly.
"So, he's a wreck then?" Robin asked.
"Basically." Pete said smirking yet again.
"Go give him my note." Robin said as Liz shooed Pete from the room.
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, so these three words I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, baby I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
"How's Robin?" Patrick asked anxiously never pausing in his pacing when Brenda entered the room.
"Er…good."
"She's freaking out and screaming at you all isn't she."
"Perhaps." Brenda said with a wink. Patrick gave her a dimpled grin as he pivoted having reached the end of the room. Brenda was opening her mouth to continue speaking when the door opened and Pete waltzed in. "You again." Brenda said wrinkling her nose up.
"Brilliant observation." Pete said raising an eyebrow. Patrick was watching in interest a smirk slowly spreading across his face.
"Argh. I can't deal with this." Brenda said storming out of the room her high heels clicking on the floor tiles.
"You like her." Patrick said smirking at his friend.
"Her? I don't even know who the hell she is."
"Brenda."
"What?"
"She's Brenda, Robin's best friend, Brenda Barrett." Patrick elaborated.
"Oh." Pete said. "She's annoying." He added as an afterthought.
"That's what you say right before you end up dating them." Patrick said with a knowing smile.
"Did you crack your head when I in an obvious case of mistaken judgement left you alone with her?" Pete asked.
Oh yes I will
It was time. The rows of the church were filled with the citizens of Port Charles, everyone from nurses to mobsters showing up to witness the occasion. Patrick stood by the alter shifting his weight nervously. Pete was at his side. All eyes were riveted on a set of wooden doors. The organ began playing, and the doors opened first to Kristina who was being their flower girl. The little girl was dumping petals carefully at a rate of two petals every two feet. Following Kristina was Morgan who was being their ring bearer. Next came Lulu whose forced smile indicated how glad she was they had forced her to be in the wedding. Something about old family friends. Next came the source of Lulu's anger Maxie, followed by Georgie and then Liz. All of the women wore lavender off the shoulder floor length dresses and matching lavender heels. Finally Brenda walked out she was wearing a slightly darker shade of purple because she was the maid-of-honor.
The doors closed again. They opened up to reveal Robin whose Father was by her side. Patrick stared at her entranced; her gown had intricate embroidery encompassing the entire dress, and covered her feet and trailed behind her, her hair was curled and falling softly around her face. She had a huge smile on her face as her eyes locked with Patrick's and it was as though the whole world disappeared and she was aware of no one but him as they made their way down the aisle. Before she knew it Brenda was taking her bouquet and her hands were being linked with Patrick's.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here to sanctify the joining of a sacred union." The priest intoned. "Patrick and Robin have prepared their own vows." He added. "Patrick?"
"Ever night I thank God that I met you, I can't imagine where I'd be today without you." Patrick started looking down straight into her eyes. "I could never imagine being without you, when you're sleeping at night I look at you and I think of how lucky I am that you're in my life, nothing could possible make me happier then for you to be my wife." Patrick finished.
"I never thought I'd fall in love again, and then you elbowed yourself into my life, albeit loudly and obnoxiously, but if you hadn't I would have spent the rest of my life only half existing, just going through the motions. You're the best thing that ever happened to me Patrick Drake." Robin said.
"By the power vested in me by the Lord God and the State of New York, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest said. And Patrick leaned down and captured his new wife's lips with his own. Applause sounded through the church as they made there way down the aisle and out of the church. Brenda and Pete both looked ready to gag as they linked arms and followed.
This is no ordinary love
And I can never have enough
Of all the things you've given to me
My heart , my soul , my everything
Every night I thank you lord (I thank you lord)
For giving me the strength to love her more
And more each day I promise her
As long as I hear those three words
Patrick and Robin grinned as they danced together at their reception. The couple looked highly amused by something and if you glanced five feet or so to their right you could see why. Brenda and Pete were arguing about something. Brenda was gesturing wildly, while Pete shook his head, causing her to screech and gesture some more. Today had been perfect. And they had a new project to work on. The couple exchanged an evil grin. This would be fun.
A/N (Squeee) It's complete! Review it! There will be a sequel. I don't know why I do these things to myself lol. I was just going to write an epilogue but then Brenda and Pete had to go and decide to be a couple. (laughs manically) Go figure. (shrugs) This will be fun. (grins evilly) Be afraid, very afraid. Lol. Review and be on the lookout for the sequel! Review!
