CHAPTER 22
Sabrina heads to her parents hotel room anxiously wondering the news she's about to hear. George: Mija...good...you came back.
Sabrina: What's wrong daddy? She sees the worry in his eyes.
Maria: There is something you should know Mija...sit down...she takes her daughters hand and sits her on the couch and hands her water.
Sabrina: Okay, now you're really scaring me. Why couldn't Patrick come back with me?
Sabrina's parents look at each other with worry in their eyes hesitating.
Sabrina: PLEASE! Just tell me already!
George: Okay, okay...you're right...he takes a deep breath. You ex-boyfriend is out of jail and looking for you.
Sabrina is stunned. Her ex-boyfriend was put in jail for murder and she hasn't seen him since she broke up with him before she left for Port Charles. The murder occurred after she left Puerto Rico and she heard the news of his arrest from her parents...she never told Patrick because she thought that was in the past and would never have to deal with that part of her life again. Maria: Mija, say something, she says touching her hand...Sabrina flinches.
Sabrina: Are you sure? She says with worry in her eyes.
George: Yes, Mija...that was really the reason we came to see you...to meet our grandson yes, of course, but we wanted to warn you that Miguel is furious and knows you are now married with a family of your own that you didn't want to have with him.
Sabrina: Oh my god! She shakes her head and puts her hands over her face in tears. She calms down and looks at her parents. How did he get out of jail? More importantly, how the hell did he know where I was and if I was married? She asks becoming angry.Maria: I know he's been in contact with your cousin.
Sabrina: Juan?
George: Yes...We're so sorry Mija...we know how desperately you wanted that part of your life to be over.
Sabrina: Why would Juan betray me that way?
George: We don't know...Sabrina...we are worried for your safety. Miguel's out for blood.
Sabrina: Because I broke up with him years ago? Things changed, we changed...clearly. She shakes her head.
Maria: We want to hire bodyguards for you and your family.
Sabrina: No, that's not necessary.
George: Mija! This is non-negotiable!
Sabrina: Daddy, she puts her hand on his leg...I know you think I can't handle any of this, but I've been through more than you can even imagine since...she stops herself from saying too much.
Maria: Since what Mija? She asks looking with worry at her husband who is just as concerned about what she just said to them.Sabrina: Never mind...I have to get home, she says getting up fast. I'm sure we have nothing to worry about, but thank you for telling me, she hugs her mom and dad.
George: Sabrina...what were you talking about when you said what you've been through.
Sabrina: It's not important right now, daddy...I'll tell you another time. I have to get home to my family.
Maria: Please be careful Mija...Your father and I would not know what to do with ourselves if anything ever happened to you! She hugs her stepdaughter. Sabrina: I love you both too.
Maria: We're heading back to Puerto Rico in the morning...
Sabrina: I thought you were staying in town for awhile...she asks
George: We were going to, but something's come up and we need to get back.
Sabrina: You okay?
George: Of course Mija, business stuff that really can't wait.
Sabrina: Okay...well, why didn't you say something earlier. George: We didn't want to burden you with too much all at once he laughs.
Sabrina: I wish you could stay longer...she holds both her parents hands, in tears.
Maria: We'll come back! I won't be able to stay away from that grand baby of ours for long...she smiles teary eyed.
Sabrina: I'm counting on it! It was great seeing you both! I love you...
George: You have a beautiful family Mija...everything you deserved and what I've wished for you, he says stroking her cheek. You should be proud!Sabrina: Thank you daddy...she says with a tear...I have to get back to them. Call when you get home?
Maria: Of course! We love you and are proud of the beautiful woman and mother you've become. George: Your mama would be so proud! Just as we are. He winks.
Sabrina hugs her parents together at the same time and heads home to her family.
Sabrina is in Noah's room rocking him in her rocking chair when Patrick walks by.
Patrick: Hey, he whispers....are you okay? He enters the room.
Sabrina: Huh, yea...Oh, I'm fine...why?
Patrick: Ever since you got home you've been extra quiet...it's not like you...what's wrong? He asks concerned. What did your parents say to get you so upset?
Sabrina: How'd you know I was upset? She asks with a little laugh putting Noah back in his crib.
Patrick: (Picks her chin up) I know you, that's why, he smiles. When you're upset, you get very quiet and distant. Please tell me what's wrong, he hugs her.
Sabrina: Let's talk in the living room. They sit on the couch holding hands.
Patrick: Ok...when I left my wife an hour ago, she was smiling and happy and now well....you're not. What is going on?
Sabrina: It's my Ex...
Patrick: The one you were with before you came to Port Charles and changed my life forever! He kisses her softly.
Sabrina: Yea, that'd be the one. He's out of, she pauses.
Patrick: (Squints his eyes) Out of what sweetheart?
Sabrina: Jail, she whispers.
