The snow is falling the city is white Your eyes are shining like diamonds tonight And we're all alone There's no one home You're finally in my arms again The night is silent and Christmas is here I couldn't ask for more than having you here Cause I love you girl I'll always will And now I know the moment is right (the moment is right) Cause I been waiting to give this gift tonight I'm down on my knees There's no better time It's something to last for as long as you live Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give I thought I'll give you something shining and new I try to find something worthy of you but I realize When I looked inside there's something's money can't buy I feel the magic whenever you're near I feel it even more this time of the year Cause I love you girl I'll always will And now I know the moment is right
(the moment is right) Cause I been waiting to give this gift tonight I'm down on my knees There's no better time It's something to last for as long as you live Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give You know I'll always be true to you And you know I'm the one you can turn to Anytime Anyplace or Anywhere You know that I'll always be there Cause I been waiting to give this gift tonight I'm down on my knees There's no better time It's something to last for as long as you live Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give
When Robin and Patrick made it back to her place they found the door slightly open and the smell of fresh pumpkin pie coming from inside.
"Did you hire a chef?" Patrick asked.
Robin smiled.
"No, that would be my mom."
"But we locked the door." Patrick said.
"Think about what you just said." Robin said walking in.
"Merry Christmas mom." Robin said setting her bags down and hugging her.
"Merry Christmas luv." Anna said holding her close. "I would of came over to Mac's but I wanted to make you your pie."
"it smells wonderful, but you freaked Patrick out." Robin said.
Patrick had come in and shut the door. He sat all is bags down.
"Merry Christmas ms. Devine." Patrick said.
"Please, Anna and Merry Christmas yourself." Anna said hugging him. "Sorry about freaking you out."
'No, I am still getting used to the super spy thing." Patrick said taking off his coat. "The pie smells wonderful."
"Thanks, family recipe." Anna said. "Take a seat and I will dish you up."
Robin and Patrick sat at the table and Anna brought the fresh pie, several plates, fork and come whipped cream over. She dished them up and they sat eating, talking and laughing.
"So what did your father get you for Christmas?" Anna asked.
"he is sending Patrick and I to Jamaica for two weeks. We leave tomorrow." Robin said. "But I just loved having him here."
"I know you do." Anna said. "Well here is my present. For the both of you."
Anna handed her a box. Robin unwrapped it and took out wooden box that had been craved. Robin opened it up and saw tickets to Rome.
"Rome." Robin said.
"Yes, I knew what Robert got you. I was going to go in with him, but something else came up and well this worked out. You'll go from Jamaica to Rome to see Brenda. She felt sad she couldn't be here, but she has a surprise for you."
"I miss her." Robin said. "I called, but she didn't pick up."
"I know, She was dropping me off at the airport.' Anna said. "Just wait to call her. She wont pick up."
"What is going on?" Robin asked.
"She wants to tell you, but you will love it." Anna said. "I know you are worried about work, but Alan knows what is going on and has okayed this trip as well. You'll be there for two weeks as well."
"A month of no GH?" Patrick said.
"Yes, but you'll thank me, Robert and Brenda later. Look at the time. I have to go. I promised Mac I would stop by."
"Ok." Robin said. "I loved seeing you."
"Me too." Anna said hugging her. "Now Patrick, Robert and I are trusting you with our little girl so be good to here."
"I will." Patrick said hugging her.
Anna left and Robin sat down on the couch.
"What are you doing?" Patrick asked.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas is coming on and I never miss it."
"Me either." Patrick said grabbing their drinks and moving over to the couch.
It was close to midnight and Patrick sat with Robin leaning against him. They had watched a Charlie Brown Christmas when they got home. It was one thing they both did as a child. They curled up in a blanket sat in comfortable silence. When the show ended Robin hit the remote and the TV shut off.
"No matter how many times I have seen that movie I love it." Robin said. "Reminds me we all have a little kid in us."
"I know." Patrick said. "This was by far my best Christmas."
"Really?' Robin said turning and looking at him.
"yeah, I got to spend it with you. Last year we spent some time together, but we were anything like we are now. Now we are in love and life is good for us."
"I know what you mean. Last year I wished for something good to happened to me. What I didn't know is that it was already starting."
"I never thought a small town like this would be a place I wanted to live. I never thought I would find someone who would capture my heart and make me see that love is real and it isn't something to hide from."
Robin looked at him and smile.
"Merry Christmas Patrick."
"Merry Christmas Robin."
He leaned in and kissed her. Soon they were sitting back in the same position looking up at the tree.
"You know, sometime it seems as Christmas comes all to fast." Patrick said.
'I know." Robin said. "But it makes you see what is really important. Like helping out with the kids today. Seeing the joy on their faces and poor April thinking Santa forgot her."
"When I was young for every new toy I got I gave one away. My mom taught me giving is something people need to learn."
"Your mom is right. If more people gave good thing instead of bad, the world would be a nice place."
"Yes, but we will be cut off from the world for a month." Patrick said. "Just you and me."
"I like that." Robin said looking up at the tree.
She noticed something. There hanging on the tree like an ornament was a ring.
"Patrick what is that on the tree?"
"I don't know. Look and see." Patrick said.
Robin stood up and took the ornament off the tree. She looked at the tag.
"To, Robin, From Patrick."
She looked and saw Patrick on one knee in front of her.
"Robin will you marry me?"
"Yes." Robin said throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. Patrick lowered her to the floor.
"One sec." Patrick said pulling back.
He took the ring and placed in on her finger.
Robin smiled and pulled him back down on her where they made love all night.
