Chapter 56
"What have you found out?" Marcus sat in his house, no their house, talking to his associate.
"They remarried two weeks after they returned to Port Charles." The man read his notes out loud to Marcus. "Robin has returned to work at General Hospital and is working on a grant proposal and has two patients – Jason Morgan and Laura Spencer."
"Of course she has – it is so much like Robin to spend her time focusing her attention on two of her favorite patients. How is Mr. Morgan doing – any after effects from my beautiful Robin's treatment?" Marcus stood up, walked over to the bar and poured himself a drink before strolling over to the large picture window, taking in the sight of the jungle around the house.
"He is getting back his memories from before the initial car accident. He is having some difficulty combining the two lives but Robin and his wife and working together to help him assimilate."
Marcus chuckled. "Only Robin could work with the woman who, only a year ago, was sleeping with her ex-husband and is married to her ex-boyfriend. Anything else?"
The man hesitated. "One more thing. Robin is pregnant. They just found out it's a boy."
Marcus looked at the drink in his hand and shook his head. He took a deep breath and then threw the glass to the ground. "When is she due?"
"Two months."
"Then that gives us time, doesn't it?" Marcus smiled at the man and then nodded at the floor. "Clean up that mess and then come to my office – we have some plans to make."
"Robert Dale."
"Not going to happen." Robin laid on the couch with Patrick after getting Emma to bed. "We already agreed no first names from the immediate family – we want him to have his own name."
Patrick was hoping that this meant she had finally given in on Dale as the middle name. "Okay – Paul Dale?"
"No, Paul Drake - it's just, no." Robin shook her head. Two months since they had found out they were having a boy and he was still trying to sneak Dale past her. "How about Gerard?"
"Just because you think Gerard Butler is cute is not a good enough reason to give our son his name. Besides, someone will want to call him Jerry and that is not happening." Patrick gently rubbed Robin's belly.
Robin shuddered. "Yeah, didn't think that one through." She thought for a moment. "Samuel?"
"Sam Drake – sounds like a private detective. I like it – it's on the list. Chad?"
"Too OC." Robin leaned back and smiled at Patrick. "How about Joshua?"
"Joshua? Joshua Dale Drake?" He rolled the name around his head. "I like that."
"I was actually thinking Joshua Malcolm and before you say anything, I said no first names from the immediate family. Using Uncle Mac's name as the middle name is within the rules and it would mean a lot to me. He has been there for me more than anyone else has in my life – no offense." Robin placed her hands on top of her husband's in a reassuring move.
"None taken – I let you down a lot in the past but I promise you that those days are over." Patrick kissed the top of his wife's head and sighed. "I hate to admit it – but I like that name. Joshua Malcolm Drake. What do you think – kick once for no and twice for yes."
Robin laughed as their son kicked her twice. "I think you have your answer. Want to know the best part?"
"What?"
"The best part is that Emma picked out Joshua. She is going to be so excited that we are using it." Reached around and pulled Patrick closer to her so she could kiss him. "Thank you. It means a lot to me that I will be able to honor my uncle this way."
"Well, as long as Dale is still on the table for our next baby – boy or girl."
"Of course." Robin answered knowing that this was probably their last child. As much as she loved being pregnant, she wasn't as young as she used to be and this pregnancy was a little more tiring than Emma's. "Now, what do you say you help your pregnant wife off the couch and up to bed – carrying your son around all day is very tiring."
"I'll do you one better." Patrick scooted over and then picked Robin up off the couch. "Let's go to bed." He kissed her one last time before carrying her up the stairs to bed.
