CHAPTER 17

After getting a call from Anna, Sabrina rushes to the hospital...Elizabeth agreed to sit with Emma so Sabrina can go get updated.

Sabrina: (Runs off the elevator in a panic) I want to see my husband, she yells....Felix runs up to her and stops her from going any closer.

Felix: Hey Brina...he says hands on her shoulders looking her straight in the eyes...I need you to relax and take a deep breath.

Sabrina: What happened? Where is my husband and baby? She says ignoring Felix...

Felix: Bree, please...calm down. I don't want to tell you when you are this upset.

Sabrina takes a deep breath and they sit down.

Patrick comes off the elevator moments later and sees Sabrina...she sees the look of panic on his face.

Sabrina: Patrick! She runs to hug her husband who she feels like she hasn't seen in months...it's only been a few hours. Where's our beautiful baby boy? She begs wiping tears from his eyes....what happened? Patrick...say something...

Felix: He's in shock...here, let's get him to the couch...

Sabrina tries to calm herself down, so she can find out what happened.

Sabrina: Patrick, baby, it's me...she touches his cheek and takes his hand...where is Noah?

Patrick finally snaps out of his trance.

Patrick: Oh baby, I'm so sorry...he says breaking down. I tried to stop her...

Sabrina: Who?

Patrick: Robin...

Sabrina: Robin?

Moments later, EMT"s bring Noah in on a stretcher as well as Robin who is unconscious.

Sabrina: Oh my god! She nearly collapses from the shock of seeing her little angel on a stretcher surrounded by so much blood.

EMT: Mam I'm going to need you to step back.

Sabrina: LIKE HELL she shouts, he's my son! What happened? She says in tears looking at all the blood.

EMT: Your son was shot in the abdomen during a struggle...

Sabrina: And Robin? She says looking at her...

EMT: Same...Ms. Scorpio was trying to escape with your son and I guess someone got in her way and decided to go on a shooting spree. I need to get them into be examined, please mam.

Sabrina: Go, and please be careful with him, he's only 3 months old....she says trying to be strong.

Patrick is still in shock.

Sabrina: Felix...can you give us a minute...I have to talk to my husband...He's in complete shock...I've never seen him like this...

Felix: Of course...call me if you need...he hugs her.

Sabrina: I will...promise. Do me a favor?

Felix: Name it.

Sabrina: Go check on your godson and let me know what is happening.

Felix agrees and goes to do just that.

Sabrina: Okay...my love...Noah is being treated...I'm trying to be the strong one here, because right now the look on your face is scaring me to death....she tries to laugh,but cries instead.

Patrick: Sabrina?

Sabrina: Hey...there's my love...she hugs him...are you okay? She asks making sure he wasn't caught in the crossfire.

Patrick: I think so...what happened?

Sabrina fills him in on what she knows.

Patrick: I have to go check on Noah...he says getting up in a rush.

Sabrina: Sweetie, let the doctors look at him...

Patrick: I'm a doctor...I need to examine our son.

Sabrina: I don't think that would be the best idea love...I have Felix checking on him right now...he'll come back with any updates, she says trying to calm him down. Do you remember what happened?

Patrick: I was at the police station with Anna...she had found a note that was left in her suite and handed it to me with hesitation because she was afraid of my reaction. Next thing I know, I'm here...and our son...he breaks down again...

Sabrina: (Tries to keep it together but is having a hard time) Okay, shhhhh...it's going to be okay...it will come back to you in time...the important thing is to get you looked at and make sure our son is okay.

Patrick agrees.

A little while later Dr. Singh comes out to update them on Noah's condition.

: Dr. & Mrs. Drake?

Sabrina: Yes, she turns around...Noah?

Dr. Singh: He's stable and doing well for such a tiny little baby. We're getting the OR ready. That bullet needs to be removed. Can you sign these consent forms?

Sabrina takes the forms and signs them.

Sabrina: Please, save our son....she cries.

Dr. Singh: We'll do our best. It might be a few hours, so be patient...someone will come out and give you updates in a little while.

Patrick: Thank you.

Hours go by and they have yet to hear from anyone about Noah's status...Patrick is out of his state of shock and back to himself.

Sabrina: What is taking so long? We should have heard something by now? She says pacing back and forth.

Patrick: Dr. Singh is an excellent surgeon...I''m sure he's just taking his time and making sure everything is going as normal as it should he says trying to calm her down now.

Sabrina: I'm glad you're "back" she smiles....I don't know how much longer I could have been strong.

Patrick: I'm proud of you...he hugs her. I'm sorry I scared you.

Sabrina: You were shocked...it is okay...I probably would have been worse than that if I were there instead of you.

Epiphany comes out.

Patrick: Hey, Epiphany's here.

Epiphany: Patrick, Sabrina...

Patrick: Well?

Sabrina: How's our son? She asks fearful of the worst.

Epiphany: You have a very strong little boy...he's doing wonderfully...of course the next couple of days are the most critical but Dr. Singh was able to remove the bullet with little conflict. She smiles seeing the relief on their faces. Robin on the other hand...

Patrick: What about her?

Epiphany: She's had to be revived twice...she's lost a lot of blood...we all know how dangerous that is...the doctors are finishing up with her now...she's in critical condition at the moment.

Patrick: Geez...thank you for the update...can we see our son? He asks holding Sabrina's hand.

Epiphany: He's in recovery, but should be in a room soon...I'll come and let you know when you can go up and sit with him. That little guy has been through a lot in a little over 3 months. He's so strong.

Sabrina: Stronger than we are that's for sure, she smiles at Patrick who hugs her and Epiphany leaves to check on her patients.
