CHAPTER 14
Patrick: Monica, he says sitting next to his comatose wife waiting on word of her lab results. Are those the results, he says standing up....Elizabeth is with him standing behind him.
Monica: They are she says softly.
Patrick: Well?
Monica: You may want to sit down...
Patrick: NO! Just tell me! What was she injected with? She's extremely pale and turning blue...I'm freaking out and I'm afraid I'm losing her. I can't go through that again, so you better have a curable illness written in those labs!
Monica: Patrick, I know you're upset...and you have every right...Sabrina was injected with a very high dose of Cyanide poisoning.
Patrick: Falls down on his knees...Elizabeth tries to catch him....Cyanide? He whispers to himself.....that's deadly? He questions remembering what he learned about it in medical school.
Monica: Not necessarily...Patrick, she helps him stand up...listen to me...there are treatments out there and we'll try them all if we have to to save Sabrina...we all love her and want to see her back on her feet. We will start with a heavy dose of Oxygen Therapy and if that doesn't work, then we'll go from there...okay? She asks calmly.
Patrick shakes his head.
Patrick: Whatever you need to do, do it and FAST! He says sitting back down holding her hand kissing her knuckles, not wanting to leave.
Elizabeth walks Monica out
Elizabeth: Thank you, he appreciates it, he's just a mess right now.
Monica: I know...I haven't ever seen him like this...well, besides when Robin....she shakes her head in disbelief that she was a part of this.
Elizabeth: I know...She needs to come out of this because he may just spiral out of control if he loses her. They are so in love. I've never seen two people more in love than them.
Monica: I don't remember him and Robin being this much in love...I know they loved each other very very much but I've never seen anything like this...We will save her...I promise...
Elizabeth: We have too...she says simply. I have to get back to him. When can we start the Oxygen?
Monica: I'll have Ms. Trout set it up right away...
Elizabeth: The sooner the better. Thank you Monica.
Monica leaves to get Ellie to start the Oxygen Therapy.
Elizabeth: Patrick, hey...she taps him on his shoulder startling him. Why don't you get some get an update on Noah and get some sleep in the locker room. I'll wake you up if there is a change with Sabrina or Noah.
Patrick: I'm not leaving her, he replies quickly...
Elizabeth: I'll stay with her. Monica is getting Ellie and she's going to start the treatment in a few minutes. It would be better for you not to see it. You just worked a 12 hour shift and are exhausted...You aren't doing Sabrina any good if you are delirious...you need your sleep. Please for me and Emma?
Patrick: Fine...he says too tired to argue...Wake me if anything changes, ANYTHING, he demands. And promise me you won't leave her.
Elizabeth: I promise, now go...
Patrick leaves to get some sleep in the locker room but takes a shower first. While showering he collapses and breaks down in tears unable to comprehend the last few hours...everything was perfect and now his whole life is falling apart yet again. A few hours later Elizabeth comes to get Patrick who did what she asked and got some sleep in the locker room rest area.
Elizabeth: Patrick, she whispers gently shaking him...
Patrick: Sabrina?!
Elizabeth: No, hey, it's just me...
Patrick: Rubs his eyes awake...Any news?
Elizabeth: Yes...she's smiling so it's good news from where he stands. The treatment is starting to work...Sabrina just woke up and is asking for her husband, she smiles.
Patrick: Really? He asks relieved.
Elizabeth: Really...she smiles...I told you sleep would be good.
Patrick and Elizabeth rush to Sabrina's room.
Patrick, seeing her beautiful eyes open and looking at him brings him to tears and he runs to hug and kiss her.
Elizabeth leaves giving them some privacy
Sabrina: Hey you, she says softly, holding him close.
Patrick: Hey yourself, he says wiping a tear away. You scared me half to death...
Sabrina: I can see that...she says seeing his face. What happened? The last thing I remember she says re-positioning herself was feeding the baby....NOAH! She shouts getting upset.
Patrick: Shhhh, hey...listen...you were knocked unconscious by, he stops before going any further..
Sabrina: By who? She insists.
Patrick: Robin.
Sabrina: Robin? What? I don't understand...I want to see my son, she says trying to get out of bed.
Patrick: Hey...stop, listen to me, he says pulling her back. I need to tell you something.
Sabrina: Tell me!
Patrick explains what happened to her and the baby and she loses it.
Patrick: Baby, hey, he says trying to calm his wife down....he wipes her face which is wet with tears. We will find Noah, I promise...I am so sorry that Robin did this...I don't know what got into her but look at me, he says picking her chin up...I will make sure she is held responsible for all of this...
Sabrina: She must have snapped somewhere along the line she says catching her breath.
Patrick: There has to be some explanation and we will that out and we WILL find OUR son, you hear?
Sabrina shakes her head trying to believe her husband.
Elizabeth knocks on the door.
Patrick: Hey, he says, come in...
Elizabeth: actually, can I talk to you in the hall Patrick?
Sabrina: Not unless it has to do with our son, I need to know where he is...
Elizabeth goes into the room instead.
Elizabeth: Anna called and they have a location they tracked from Robins cell...
Sabrina: where'd she take our son?
Elizabeth: They located them in Switzerland. Anna and Dante are on there way there now.
Patrick: Switzerland?
Elizabeth: Yes, that's all I know...she said shed be in touch.
Patrick: I have to go he says getting up as Sabrina grabs his arm to stop him.
Sabrina: Patrick, no, please...she pleads with him, grabbing his arm....I need you here with me...Let the police handle it.
Patrick: But, he stops after seeing her face with fear and decides he better stay with her. Ok...You're right...
Sabrina: Thank you she says relieved.
Elizabeth: If anyone can find Noah it is definitely Anna and Dante! She smiles trying to reassure her friends.
Patrick: Hey, Elizabeth, can you do me a big favor.
Elizabeth: Name it! She smiles.
Patrick: Can you check on Emma for me?
Sabrina: Why don't you go with her? She says.
Patrick: I want to stay with you, he replies.
Sabrina: I could use a few minutes to collect my thoughts and I'm sure Emma wants to see her daddy.
Elizabeth: She's right about that Patrick...I will go with you though...
Patrick: Okay...okay, he says kissing Sabrina. I won't be long...you're okay?
Sabrina: I'm okay...tired, but okay...now go check on our little girl please.
Elizabeth and Patrick go to the day care center.
After checking on Emma, Elizabeth and Patrick head back to Sabrina's room when they hear doctors being called to her room.
PA SYSTEM: Code red, room 207 repeat code red 207...
Patrick and Elizabeth panic stricken look at each other.
Elizabeth: Sabrina's room?
They run back to see what was wrong.
Patrick: Runs into his wife's room where a team of doctors are working on her. Sabrina! He shouts as the machines are going off like crazy.
Monica: Patrick, please...let the doctors do their job...
Patrick: Why is she having a seizure? I just left her less than 10 minutes ago...what is going on?
Monica: She's rejecting the oxygen...Patrick...I'm sorry...
Patrick: Try something else! He begs.
Monica: We have to wait for her to stabilize again before we try the next dose of meds.
Patrick: I knew I shouldn't have left, but she insisted...he falls apart again and Elizabeth catches him.
Monica: Charge to 200 she says as they get paddles ready to revive Sabrina.
Patrick rushes to her side...
Patrick: Baby...please, come back to me....he says kissing her hand, please!
Nurse: Dr. Drake, you need to step back and let us work on your wife...please...
Elizabeth: Patrick, come with me...she says literally dragging him out of the room.
Patrick: Trying to collect himself...She was fine when we left...she looked a little pale but she seemed fine.
Elizabeth: Things happen that we can't control. She's going to come out of this, she says to her friend.
Patrick: How can you be so sure? He says doubtfully.
Elizabeth: Because she loves you too much to abandon you now. Here, you know what she told me she says trying to distract Patrick and takes him to sit down on the bench by the door.
Patrick: What?
Elizabeth: She told me that you have made all of her dreams come true....she smiles with her hand on his back.....She loves you so much Patrick. I've never seen any two people as much in love as you and Sabrina.
Patrick: I love her so much, it hurts, Elizabeth....he breaks down again....It's so easy to love that woman, he says with a laugh finally...From the minute we literally ran into each other, I knew in the back of my mind somewhere that she was the one person I needed in my life. How could Robin take her from me? I just don't understand any of this...
Elizabeth shakes her head in disbelief as well as Monica finally comes out.
Monica: Patrick...sorry to interrupt she sees they are deep in conversation.
Patrick: It's okay...Sabrina?
Monica: She's stable...it took awhile, but she's still with us. We're going to let her get a little stronger and then start a round of glucose treatment...hopefully that will counteract with the oxygen she's already gotten and it will blend together and she will recover from this. Sometimes it takes more than one antidote with cyanide poising. Keep the faith Patrick...that's what she needs right now...she pats him on the shoulder...I'll be back shortly to check on her and then we'll go from there.
Patrick: Thank you Monica for everything.
Monica leaves and Patrick goes to sit with his wife.
Elizabeth: Will you be okay for a little while? I need to check on my boys and do a few things. I'll be back as soon as I can and I'll bring you something from Kelly's...you need to eat!
Patrick: I'll be fine and thank you, he says hugging his friend. I don't know what I would do without you! He smiles.
Elizabeth: Hey...that's what friends are for, she winks...I'll be back soon, my phone is with me...Patrick shakes his head and closes the door for her.
