Chapter Nine

Emily and Elizabeth nodded and left the room. Robin finished her sandwich and fries while Patrick ate his chicken strips.

"Are your feet killing you still?"

"They hurt, but I think they will be ok." Robin said.

"Well I have one more thing in store for them." Patrick said getting up and moving the boll of now cold water back to the rolling cart. Setting there empty trays in the trash he pulled out a bottle of lavender scented massage oils.

"A foot massage." Patrick said.

Robin smiled.

"Patrick you don't have too." Robin said.

"I want to, any reason to touch you is enough for me." Patrick said going over and locking to door. "So lay back and relax."

Robin did as he ordered. Patrick poured some oil on his hands and rubbed them together to warm the oil.

"You are spoiling me." Robin said as he began running his hands over the soft and sore skin.

"Well you have been working hard lately and I have been a jerk, this is my way of saying I am sorry."

"Well more of this and you are forgiven." Robin said.

"You got it." Patrick said. "You just relax and let me take care of you."

"Ok, doctor." Robin teased.

Patrick chuckled at what she said and went about massaging her feet. Robin let her eyes drift close and let sleep over take her. Patrick watched her as she feel asleep. She looked like she was finally at peace. He knew his nights had been rough, but he wasn't sure until she told him how hers had been. He didn't want to be away from her for one more night, but knew they had a lot to work out. After she was out for an hour he cleaned up and covered her. Letting her sleep he slipped on some shoes and walked out to see how Amberlee, Kristina and Alexis were doing. Walking in he saw Sonny reading to an awake Kristina.

"Hey." Patrick said. "How are you doing?"

"She is tired." Sonny said.

"Well she has been through a lot." Patrick said. "She has to take it easy and heal."

"I am reading her, her favorite book." Sonny said.

"When is mommy going to wake up?" Kristina asked.

"Your mommy was given something to help her sleep." Patrick said. "She will be awake in the morning when you wake back up."

"Can I wait for her to wake up?"

"No, baby girl." Sonny said. "You and mommy need to rest and sleep is good."

"Ok." She said. "Will you finish my story?"

"Of course." Sonny said.

Patrick nodded and walked over to Amberlee. Picking up her chart he saw there was no change, she was still out cold. Noah came in and saw him.

"Son, I need to talk with you in the hall." Noah said.

Nodding Patrick fallowed him to the hall and waited to here the news.

"She is healing." Noah said. "But there is something we didn't think f when she came in?"

"What?" Patrick asked.

"Someone molested her Patrick." Noah said. "I am sorry."

"Does it look like once or something that has been going on for awhile?" Patrick asked.

"She has scars." Noah said. "Kelly did an exam and it shows some damage."

"Who would do that to a child?" Patrick asked.

"I don't know son." Noah said. "There is no lasting physical damage but we are unsure about mental, emotional or physiological damage."

"Ok, I should fill Robin in, this is going to kill her."

"Just tell her we are all pulling for her." Noah said.

"Ok." Patrick said. "I'll see you later."

Patrick walked down the hall and stopped out side the door to the doctor's lounge. Placing his head against the wall he let the tears slip from his eyes. He felt broken.

Placing his hands on the doorknob he wiped the tears from his face and went in. He saw that Robin was still sleeping peacefully decided to wait until they got some sleep before telling her about Amberlee. He knew it was going to be hard on her. Climbing in bed he took her in his arms and held her close. Robin wrapped herself around him as they fell asleep together.
