Chapter Six
Robin laid listening to the soft Jazz music and Patrick ran his hand up and down her bare back.
"Wow." Robin said. "That was…"
"Out of earth shattering." Patrick said.
"I was going to say out of this world, but I like yours." Robin said smiling up at him.
"Are you ok?" Patrick asked.
"Yes." Robin nodded. "Patrick, I know this is all so fast, but I feel like I have known you for a life time and I don't regret this and I hope you don't either."
"I don't." Patrick said leaning down and kissing her. "Can I tell you something?"
"Anything." Robin said.
"I knew where Kelly's was the night we met." Patrick said.
Robin giggled into his chest.
"What?" Patrick asked.
"I figured." Robin said. "I don't think there is a person in PC who doesn't know where Kelly's is and when Mike called you Patrick it all cleared itself up."
"So you aren't mad?" Patrick asked.
"That you wanted an excuse to talk to me?" Robin asked. "No, besides you were so kind to Ella and you bought us dinner so I am glad you ran into us."
"I saw you getting out of the car and something said I had to know you." Patrick said.
"Well I am glad." Robin said.
"Me too." Patrick said wrapping his arms around her.
"I hate to break up this, but Ella is sleeping in the living room." Robin said.
"Let her sleep." Patrick said.
"But she could wake up and I don't want her to walk in on us naked." Robin said. "I haven't dated in forever, long before Ella came into my life."
"Ok, so we get dressed, but I want to hold you." Patrick said.
"Can I ware your shirt?" Robin asked.
"Sure." Patrick said getting out of bed.
He slid his boxers on and tossed Robin her panties, bra and his shirt. He walked over to the closet and pulled out some sweats and a t-shirt on. Tossing his old clothes into the hamper he climbed back into bed with Robin and held her close.
Robin over in his sleep Patrick felt something. Waking up he remembered Robin was there with him. Looking at the clock he saw it was about three in the morning. Listening he heard a soft cry and climbed out of bed. Walking out to the living room he saw Ella sitting on the couch looking scared.
"Hey baby what's wrong?" Patrick asked.
"I woke up and mommy wasn't here." Ella said.
"Mommy is in my room." Patrick said. "You want to come join us?"
Ella nodded, picked up the racing pillow and Patrick picked her up. She laid her head on his should and he walked back to his room. Setting her on the bed he took her shoes off and helped her into the covers. When he laid next to her she climbed onto his chest and was out while Robin snuggled into his side. Patrick smiled and fell back asleep feeling peaceful and happy.
Patrick woke when the sunlight hit his eyes. Looking around he didn't see Robin or Ella. Getting up he made his way to the kitchen and saw Robin cooking while Ella sat on the counter. Walking over Patrick wrapped his arms around Robin middle and kissed her neck.
"Morning." He said.
"Good morning." Robin said.
"Hi there." Patrick said picking Ella up.
"We're making you breakfast." Ella said.
"I see." Patrick said. "It is very sweet of you."
"Well I figured some breakfast would be the least we could do." Robin said moving over to place the cooked food on the plates.
"It smells and looks amazing." Patrick said.
"We were going to serve you in bed, but since you are awake we can eat at the table." Robin said picking up the tray.
"No way." Patrick said. "To the bedroom."
Ella squealed as Patrick tossed her over his shoulder and marched to the bedroom. Robin just smiled and fallowed.
Soon they were all settled on his bed eating breakfast.
"So when did Ella join us last night?" Robin asked.
"A little after three." Patrick said. "I woke up and heard her crying from the living room. So I brought her in here so you didn't have to wake up."
"I woke and saw her sleeping soundly on your chest and it was a beautiful sight." Robin said.
"Patrick do you love mommy?" Ella asked.
"Yeah." Patrick said. "I do."
Robin smiled and Ella giggled at them.
"Can we go to the park?" Ella asked. "Or to the beach or Zoo?"
"Baby I have a meeting with Alan at the hospital." Robin said. "I was hoping you would want to check out the daycare."
"Ok." Ella said.
"When is your meeting?" Patrick asked.
"One." Robin said.
"You know I only have to work for a few hours so how about we do something after your meeting?" Patrick suggested.
"Ok." Robin said. "But we do need to stop by my Uncle Mac's." Robin said.
"Ok, well how about you and Ella plan it while I go into work." Patrick said.
"Ok." Robin said. "Are you done baby girl?"
"Yep." Ella said. "Can I take a bubble bath?"
"When we get home." Robin said.
"I will load the dishes." Patrick said.
"Ok." Robin said setting the plates on the tray. "We should go, you need to shower."
"I do." Patrick said. "Thank you for breakfast."
"Your welcome." Robin said standing up.
Patrick set the tray on the counter and walked them to the door.
"I will see you later." Patrick said leaning over and kissing Robin.
Ella giggled at them. Smiling Robin took Ella's hand and walked across the hall.
Patrick closed the door when they were inside and walked to his bedroom. Grabbing his clothes for the day he head to the bathroom to shower.
"Hi." The lady in daycare said.
"Hi, I am Robin Scorpio." Robin said.
"Yes and this must be Ella." She said. "I am Lydia Perce. I am in charge."
"Nice to meet you." Robin said shaking her hand. "I have a meeting with Alan Quartermaine and I was hoping Ella could get a feel for the place."
"That sounds good." Lydia said. "We have sign in right here." She said walking over the desk.
"Ok." Robin said filling everything in. "Patrick Drake is a doctor here at GH. He will be coming down to see her, if that is ok."
"Perfectly fine." Lydia said. "We are having a snake and story time right now, would you like to pick a book for us to read?"
"I would like that very much." Ella said.
"Ok, any book from the blue shelves." Lydia said.
"Ok." Ella said. "See you later mommy."
"Ok." Robin said. "I will be back in a bit."
"No problem." Lydia said.
Robin left the daycare and headed up. Getting off on the eleventh floor she walked down the hall to Alan's office. Knocking she heard him call her in.
"Awe, Robin." Alan said getting up and hugging her. "Come on in, have a seat."
Robin sat across from Alan.
"Ok, so I have to tell you we have a new doctor on staff. You'll be working with him a lot. I hope that is ok."
"Who is he or she?" Robin asked.
"Patrick Drake." Alan said. "He is top in his field, save his father."
"I know Patrick." Robin said.
"Oh." Alan said.
"We are neighbors." Robin said.
"Oh well good." Alan said. "I hope you and Patrick work well together. I think you two can do great things."
"I do too." Robin said.
"Ok." Alan said. "So, you will start in five days."
"Sounds good." Robin said.
"Ok and daycare is lined up for Ella." Alan said.
"She is down checking it out now." Robin said. "I think she will like it."
"Good, good." Alan said. "So here is our policy book."
"Ok." Robin said taking the small binder.
"Your office in on the seventh floor, it is next to Dr. Drake's." Alan said handing her some keys. "The new lab in on the sixth floor and security will get you a ID tag."
"Ok." Robin said.
"And here is a copy of your contract." Alan said.
"Thanks." Robin said.
"Ok, now I know you have lived and worked here, but there have been many changes so how about a tour. We have new people on staff as well."
"Ok." Robin said.
Alan smiled and led Robin out of his office and to the elevator.
