I was making my list I was checking it twice In the middle of this I got tears in my eyes For in my foolish heart There was one simple truth The only gift I wanted was you I was trimming the tree I was stringing the lights While the radio played "Silent Night" There were present you sent Though there were quite a few The only gift I wanted was you You need to be home with me Alone with me Holding me next to the Christmas tree Kissing under the mistletoe As candles blow Please come home soon It's not the same without you As the bittersweet night Had come to an end I was saying goodbye To our family and friends And they all wished me well And I knew that I knew The only gift I wanted was you You need to be home with me Alone with me Holding me next to the Christmas tree Kissing under the mistletoe As candles blow Please come home soon It's not the same without you Deck the halls with boughs of holly (la la la la la la...) The only gift I wanted was you You need to be home with me Alone with me Holding me next to the Christmas tree Kissing under the mistletoe As candles blow Please come home soon It's not the same without you I was making my list I was checking it twice In the middle of this I got tears in my eyes For in my wishful heart There was one simple truth The only gift I wanted was you
Patrick laid in bed watching Robin sleep. She looked at peace with the world. Maybe it was the eight cups of eggnog she had. He remember carrying her into her room. Lainey and Cory were out on the couch passed out. Kelly and Kyle left at midnight to head to his place. When he got Robin into bed she seemed to come alive. She pulled him down and rolled over him.
"We have a deal remember." She said before kissing me.
"Yes, but you are in no mood for what I want to do, so we will postpone it." Patrick said pulling her down to lay on his chest. She fell asleep almost at once. Patrick laid there holding her close knowing he had twelve days left to prove to Robin he loved her completely.
Patrick snuck out of the apartment about six leaving all sleeping still sleeping. He almost Lainey up when she grabbed his leg but she soon rolled over murmuring Roger and fell back asleep. He slipped into his car and turned the heat up. He found the Third Street Bakery in full swing. He slipped in and found Herald who handed him a package. Patrick slipped him some money and headed out. He arrived on Fifth and Alberta and saw a man in the flower shop. The man unlocked the door and Patrick went in.
"A we agreed?" The man asked.
"Yep, eight of the best croissants in town." Patrick said handing him the package.
"Very good, and your tulips."
Patrick saw a beautiful bouquet of Tulips.
"Perfect, fifty as we agreed right?"
"Yes." The man said.
Patrick paid him and headed to the door.
"Remember I need eleven more of these." Patrick said turning to him.
"I know and they will be ready." The man said and Patrick left. He got in his car and drove to Kelly's to pick up his ordered. Mike had it ready to go. Patrick gave him the flowers paid and headed back to Robin's. He snuck back in and into the bedroom. Robin was curled up in a ball and she was shaking.
Patrick set the food over and walked over to her. He pulled the covers back and saw her crying.
"Robin, what's wrong?" Patrick said moving her hair to look at her face.
"You left." Robin said in a small voice.
'I went to get some breakfast. I came right back." Patrick said helping her sit up.
"I see. I know this is silly, but when I woke you were gone and I thought maybe you changed your mind about being with me." She said in between catching her breath.
"I would never leave. Come on Robin stop crying, next time I will wake you ok." Patrick said calmly.
"I am so stupid. You Don't have to give me any reason for leaving. I am just over emotional." Robin said crying harder.
Patrick just held her until she calmed down.
Thirty minutes later they were sitting on her bed eating and talking.
"So, what do you have planned today?" Patrick asked.
"Not much. I am off so I figured I would drop by my Aunt and Uncle's to see how they are doing."
"Why don't you meet me at GH for lunch at one."
"Only if we can stop got to the recovery room for lunch and not the cafeteria."
"Ok, so one and lunch." Patrick said.
"Ok, I have some shopping to do so I will meet you on your floor and we will walk down together." Robin said making a mental note. "Oh, I have a question, do you want to do Christmas with me at my uncle's? My Aunt Felicia will want to know."
"Sure, I haven't celebrated it in a while, so you may have to help me out."
"Ok, I know Bobbie is bring Noah so you and your dad will be together."
"Cool, you know if you would of ask me a year ago if I would be here with you, getting ready for our first Christmas together as a couple I would of said yeah right."
"I would've said not a chance in hell." Robin said. "I was so mean last year."
"Yeah you were. You just need to have your protective shell taken away and now you are sweet, kind and lovable." Patrick said stealing a piece of bacon off her plate.
"You're lucky, I still feel wasted, other wise I would have to kick your ass." Robin said pointing her fork at him. "I have always been sweet, kind and lovable."
"If you say so." Patrick said as she flung her fork of French toast at him. "Hey."
He set there food on the floor and ,moved closer to her.
"What are you going to do?" Robin said moving around trying to pin him to the bed.
"Oh, this." He said moving fast and pinning her under him. "And this." He said kissing her. "And this." He moved his hands down her body. The next thing she knew he had her over his shoulder and was walking into her bath room. He sat her down and turned the water on. She started pulling her clothes off. He fallowed her and soon they were naked and standing in front of each other. He led her to the door and let her step in. He grabbed a condom and climbed in after her.
Robin visited her uncle's for awhile and then headed out. She was driving down Main Street when she saw the toy shop. Thinking about the doll she saw she stopped and went inside. She didn't see the doll and figured some collector bought it. She saw the train set.
"How may I help you." A woman asked coming out.
"Yes, this train set. Can I get it?"
"Sure thing." The lady said taking it out. She wrapped it and Robin paid for it and headed out. She arrived at GH with fifteen minutes to go. She found Bobbie.
"Hi Robin." Bobbie said. "Felicia just called and said you are bring Patrick."
"I am. But I have to meet him in fifteen and I need your help hiding his Christmas present."
"Ok," Bobbie said taking the bag. "What do you want me to do."
"Hide it until I can come back until after lunch to pick it up, but be careful it is fagile and whatever you do don't let Noah get a hold of it."
"Ok." Bobbie said. "Keep safe and away from Drake's."
"Thanks, I have to go meet Patrick, he is on the fifth floor right?"
"Yep. More then likely driving Epiphany nuts."
"Yeah. I brought her a coffee and a lice of cake from Kelly's." Robin said heading for the elevator.
She arrived on the fifth floor and saw Epiphany at the nurse's station.
"Good afternoon Epiphany." Robin said.
"Dr. Scorpio." Epiphany said turning around. "Dr. Drake has asked about you fifty times in the last hour."
"I know, so to make up for it, I brought you hot coffee and a slice of seven layer chocolate, chocolate cake." She said holding up the bag.
"Ok, that works, just get him out of here before I kill him."
Robin handed over the food and she walked away. A man carrying a lager vase of flowers stepped of the elevator.
"Excuse me I am looking for Dr. Robin Scorpio." The man said.
"I am her." Robin said taking the flowers.
"Merry Christmas." the man said after she signed.
She set the vase down and looked at the card.
"A vase full of Tulips for all to see" Robin read allowed.
Patrick appeared right behind her.
"Wow, someone scored big time." Patrick said.
"They're mine, and I am pretty sure they are from you."
"Guilty." Patrick said.
"But what's with the card?"
"You'll have to figure that out. Let's get going."
Patrick carried her flowers and they left. Robin was thinking about what the card meant.
