For Ella's Sake
Chapter 11
A/N: So I know it's been forever and a day, but someone demanded and so here it is. I promise more to come so enjoy this and see you laters.
"Who is ready to go home?" Patrick asked entering Ella's room.
"Me, me." Ella called.
"Well it's a good thing I have these release papers that say your mommy can take you home." Patrick said.
"Yay." Ella called. "Can we go now mommy, I am tired of being here."
"I suppose we can go home where you can rest." Robin said.
"Patrick are you coming home with us?" Ella asked.
"I sure am." Patrick said. "If mommy approves."
"Mommy does." Robin said.
"We heard someone is going home." Sonny said coming in with Reese who carried a bear and balloons for Ella.
"For me Aunty Resse?" Ella asked.
"Yes." Reese said. "My god baby is going home and I knew she'd need something to celebrate with."
"Thank you." Ella said.
Reese smiled and set them down.
"Yes, it will be nice to get back to normal." Robin said.
"I had Max clean both your places, some of the food went bad so I replaced it all." Sonny said.
"Oh, I was going to do that today when we got home." Robin said.
"I assumed but I knew you'd like relax a bit with Ella and Patrick." Sonny said. "The last week have been busy and scary."
"Yes, but Uncle Mac says she will not get out to hurt us again." Robin said.
"Good." Sonny said. "Ella is so important to me."
"I know." Robin said.
"Shall we go?" Patrick asked.
"Uncle Sonny can you carry me out?" Ella asked.
"I'd be happy to." Sonny said picking Ella up.
The others gathered their things and they headed out of the hospital.
"Bye Ella, you be good and take it easy." Elizabeth said.
"I will." Ella said.
"Dr. Quartmaine approved both y our time off, so we'll see you back here in two weeks." Epiphany said.
"See you then." Patrick said. "Come on let's get Ella home."
Everyone headed onto he elevator and down to the parking garage. Sonny helped Ella into her booster seat and kissed her cheek.
"I will come see you later this week and I will bring the boys." Sonny said.
"Ok." Ella said.
Sonny hugged Robin and then watched her drive off with Robin and Patrick.
"Never gets easier." Reese said.
"I know but she's loved and I am happy she found a daddy." Sonny said.
"Yes, I think Patrick will be good for them both." Reese said. "And in a few months you will have a baby girl to hold again."
"Yes and this one will know she is loved and cared for just like my other baby girl." Sonny said. "She may not call me daddy but she loves me."
"That she does." Reese said. "How about you take me and this little one for some gelato?"
"It would be my pleasure." Sonny said leading Reese over to their car and heading out.
"Why do I have to lay in bed?" Ella asked.
"Because you have to take it easy." Robin said.
"But I've been lying in bed all week, can't I have fun now?" Ella asked.
"Ok, but no running and if you get tired let us know so we can have you take a break." Robin said.
"I will, I want to play with my dolly house." Ella said.
"Ok, but go easy." Robin said.
Ella nodded and walked to her doll house and began to play. Robin walked back down to where Patrick was lying on the couch with the game on.
"Hey." Robin said joining him. "What's up?"
"Just checking the scores." Patrick said. "Should I order dinner or is it to early?"
"I can cook." Robin said.
"You don't have too." Patrick said. "Let's take it easy one night."
"Ok, but it's to early." Robin said. "I feel like Ella, like I want to run and play."
"You both been cooped up in the hospital this last week." Patrick said.
"I know, but I have all this energy and nothing to do." Robin said.
"So tempting Dr. Scorpio." Patrick said.
"Ella is only playing upstairs." Robin said.
"I know but we can exerts some energy without taking our clothes off." Patrick said leaning up and kissing her. "I love your kisses."
"And I love yours." Robin said kissing him back.
So they laid making out on the couch and soon they could hear giggling from the stairs.
"Ella?" Robin called.
"Yes Mommy?" Ella asked.
"Are you spying?" Robin asked.
"Yep, Grandpa Robert has been teaching me how." Ella said.
"I see he has." Robin said. "Come over here sweetie."
Ella came down the stairs and over to the couch.
"It is not ok to spy on people." Robin said. "I know your grandpa has been telling you about it, but you have to know when to do it and when not."
"Ok." Ella said. "I have a question."
"Ok, what is this question?" Robin asked.
"Is Patrick my daddy now?" Ella asked.
Robin looked shocked and Patrick smiled.
"Ella baby you know I love you, but see this is all very new to us. So I think it might be to soon for us to think about that, but maybe someday." Patrick said. "Is that ok?"
"Sure but don't take too long, I need a daddy." Ella said.
"Why?" Patrick asked.
"Well I don't have one." Ella said like it was that simple. "Plus mommy has her daddy back and now I want my own. Michael and Morgan have a daddy and Aunty Reese's new baby will have one too. I think it's time I has a daddy."
"Sounds right." Patrick said. "We will work on it."
"Ok, I am going to go play." Ella said jumping off the couch and running up stairs.
Patrick looked over at Robin.
"You ok?" Patrick asked.
"She's never asked for a daddy before." Robin said.
"You haven't been involved with anyone for her to ask." Patrick said.
"I know, but still I never knew she thought about it like she did." Robin said. "I have such an odd relationship with my own dad that it never accrued to me that Ella would want and need a dad."
"I think all children who see others with a mommy and daddy want a mommy and daddy." Patrick said. "It is like basic human instinct."
"Yes, but I didn't know she wanted one so badly." Robin said.
"Robin do you think if we hadn't spent the last week in the hospital with her non-stop that she'd be asking me right now?" Patrick asked.
"Maybe, maybe not." Robin said.
"Do not let it drive you crazy." Patrick said. "You haven't denied her anything. You were waiting for the right man to come along to be the daddy she needs."
"You're right." Robin said.
"I know I am." Patrick said. "And as I told Ella we will see what comes."
"Ok." Robin said. "Let's order dinner so we can eat, all that kissing worked up an appetite."
"Just wait until Ella is asleep." Patrick whispered in her ear as they got up.
Robin giggled as they made their way into the kitchen to look at menus.
"So I thin after the baby is born, maybe we go on vacation." Reese said.
"Oh and where would you like to go?" Sonny asked.
"Maybe Hawaii?" Reese said.
"We can do whatever you like my love." Sonny said. "Your wish is my command."
"I like the sound of that." Reese said. "Kiss me."
Sonny smirked and leaned over and kissed her.
"You have some nerve." Ric said storming up to their table. "My wife is a mess because of you."
"Go away." Reese said.
"You two are just sitting her all happy and glowing while my wife is heart broken that she will never see her daughter." Ric said. "She never got to hold her, never got to see her."
"I am not going into this again." Sonny said. "Alexis brought this on herself."
"You are continuing to punish her for her love for you." Ric said.
"Alexis doesn't love me, she never did." Sonny said. "She locked my wife in a tower and then put her sick plan into motion. I believe my wife was dead and then she drugged me and slept with me to create a baby and then she lied saying it was Ned's when she was mine all along. My daughter is in a better place and you two will never find her and she will never be yours. This Kristina that Alexis has imagined is not there."
"I will find her." Ric said. "I will find her."
"A broken song you've been singing for years." Sonny said. "Just help you wife move on because really that is the only thing to do."
"What kind of father let's his daughter alone out there in this world?" Ric asked. "I guess one that is a mobster and thug."
"I know where she is right now and I know she is not alone and never will be." Sonny said. "She has a mommy and daddy who love her and will love her forever. She knows nothing about how sick her birth mother is and never will. She is happy, healthy and far from yours and Alexis's reach and she will remain that way."
Ric puffed and stormed of and Sonny looked over at Reese.
"I love you." He whispered.
"And I love you." Reese said. "Let's go home and hug our boys."
Sonny tossed some bills on the table and took Reese home to their boys.
"Man that girl can eat." Patrick said.
"I know, I have no clue where it goes." Robin said.
Patrick chuckled as they put what remained of dinner away.
"Well at least we know she is getting back to her old self." Patrick said.
"Yes, it will be nice to be normal." Robin said. "I should go give her a bath before she passes out."
"Ok, I have to run to my place and check messages." Patrick said. "I'll be back to help tuck her in."
"Ok." Robin said kissing him.
Patrick went to his place and saw it cleaned up. He checked the machine and saw four messages listed.
'Hey Patrick it's dad, look we need to talk, call me.'
Patrick wondered but the next messaged played.
'Hello cowboy. Look I heard you're in PC, I have a consult there, let's hook up.'
Patrick shivered and erased the message.
'Patrick it's dad, where are you. Call me asap.'
'Patrick listen maybe you're avoiding me because you know but you need my side of the story so please call me back.'
Patrick picked up his phone and dialed his dad's number.
"Patrick where have you been?" Noah asked.
"At the hospital." Patrick said. "It's been a long week. What is going on?"
"Look Lisa was in DC, I saw her and well she knows you're in Port Charles." Noah said.
"I know, she called and left a message." Patrick said. "Don't worry, I can handle her."
"She is nuts." Noah said. "All she could talk about was you."
"If it isn't one crazy it's another." Patrick said.
"What do you mean son?" Noah asked.
"I've been seeing someone here in Port Charles." Patrick said.
"Really, who?" Noah asked.
"Her name is Robin Scorpio." Patrick said.
"She's a fine doctor." Noah said. "I've read her work."
"Yes, well she's an amazing person all around." Patrick said. "She has a daughter, her name is Ella and dad I swear I love her as if she was my own."
"Wow." Noah said.
"I know but we're just taking it as we come, but she feels right." Patrick said.
"Well I knew your mother was the right on right away." Noah said. "I will be up there for Christmas so I hope I can meet them."
"It can be arranged." Patrick said. "Look I have to run, but we'll talk more soon and thanks for the heads up on Lisa."
"Be careful son." Noah said.
"I will, bye." Patrick hung up and headed back over to Robin's.
"She in bed?" She asked seeing her cleaning the living room up.
"Waiting on you for a hug and kiss." Robin said.
"Ok, I will go do that, you go run a bath and will we soak a bit." Patrick said.
Robin smiled and they walked upstairs. Patrick headed into say goodnight to Ella and Robin ran a bath for them.
"She is out like a light." Patrick said stepping behind a necked Robin.
"Well good." Robin said. "You have to many clothes on."
She stepped out of Patrick's embrace and in the tub. "Come on Drake, don't keep me waiting,"
Patrick smirked and undressed and joined Robin in the tub where they made love until the water ran cold.
