The first day of December Robin was sitting on the couch in the loft getting ready to watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' alone. She always started her holiday like this. The commercials were running through as she heard a knock on the door. Wondering who was there she got up and pulled it the door open. There was Patrick with a unmarked box in his hands with a bag of Chinese food hanging down.
"What are you doing here?" Robin asked letting him in.
"I need your help." Patrick said.
"With what?" Robin asked.
"Stockings." Patrick said. "I figure you could help and I would repay you with dinner. Your favorites." He said waving the bag a little.
"Ok, well eat and you'll explain what you need me to do?" Robin said moving the the kitchen and getting forks and plates.
"So Bobbie cornered me before leaving and said she needed us to help her with this project for the kids. I didn't want to just show up and help so I figured I would wine and dine you and then show you the project."
"Well working so far, but if you let me have that last pot sticker, I think you might have it clenched." Robin said.
"Ok." Patrick said handing the last pot sticker over.
After dinner they sat down and went through the box of things.
"Bobbie said each year two random people are chosen to put stockings together for the kids. She said there's a list of names in here somewhere. All the goodies came from donations."
"Ok, Robin said finding a sheet of paper. "Here's the list. We have 22 kids, are there even 22 stockings in here?"
They went through the box.
"Were nine short and there is not enough here to give the kids to many things." Patrick said.
"Ok…" Robin started but there was a knock at the door.
Robin got up and answered it. Standing there was Sonny and Kristina.
"Hi." Robin said. "What brings you to by?"
"Christmas." Kristina said.
"She's right. Each year we give stocking things to GH and we stopped by to see Bobbie she said she had already given the box to you, so we came over to see what you still needed."
"Well come on in. Patrick and I are just looking through it now." Robin said holding the door open for them to come in.
"Hi. Dr. Patrick." Kristina said.
"Hi." Patrick said.
"So what do you still need?" Sonny asked.
"We are nine stocking short and there aren't enough goodies to go around." Robin said.
"I figured so I brought you this." He said taking out a credit card. "Now I wouldn't trust most people with this, but I do you, so go get whatever you still need and Bobbie said new decorations are needed so if you find some please feel free to get them."
"Thanks." Robin said hugging him. "This is perfect."
"So just be sure to return that and the recites and have fun." Sonny said. "Ok, Kristina are you ready to go?"
"I have an idea. How would you Kristina like to help me and Patrick pick out Christmas things for the kids at GH?"
"Can I daddy?" Kristina asked.
"Ok, but you have to be good." Sonny said.
"I will." Kristina said hugging her dad.
"Give us a minute and we will walk out with you." Robin said.
Robin changed and Patrick grabbed his coat. They walked out with Sonny.
"I'll have Max put her buster seat in your car." Sonny said.
"Ok." Robin said unlocking the doors.
Soon Kristina was snug in her buster and they where heading towards the mall.
