CHAPTER 31
At Sabrina's old apartment:
Sabrina is in tears on the couch when Felix finally gets home from his shift.
Felix: Hey, what a nice surprise, he says not seeing her tears at first.
Sabrina: Can I crash here tonight? She says sniffling, blowing her nose...
Felix: Hey, what's the matter? He says sitting next to her wiping her tears.
Sabrina: Boy, where do I start? She says...For starters, I wish that lying, bitch of a home-wrecker was still dead!
Felix: Sabrina! Good lord...it must be bad for you to talk like that...who are you talking about?
Sabrina: Robin! Of course...
Felix: Robin...I thought you two were getting along?
Sabrina: We were until I got home tonight and found her with her tongue down my husbands throat! Half naked on our couch...she breaks down in tears.
Felix is shocked and a little disturbed.
Felix: This can't be happening....he says taking Sabrina's hand...
Sabrina: Well, my friend, it is...I didn't know where else to go.
Felix: Bri, you always have a place here...you know that...once things calm down, I'm sure there is a logical explanation for what happened.
Sabrina: I don't know what to do...Oh, I think I'm going to be sick again...she runs to the bathroom.
Felix stands up and tries to run after her...
Felix: At the bathroom door...you okay? You look pale.
Sabrina: I think so...she says trying to stand up but is wobbly.
Felix: We have to get you to GH...this is the second time in a week that this has happened.
Sabrina: No...I'm sure it's just stress...No need to go to the hospital.
Felix: Humor me!
Sabrina: Okay, fine....she says getting her purse.
Drakes Residence:
Patrick: Scrambles to get sober.....Robin, what were you thinking?
Robin: I was thinking I wanted my husband back...she says trying to get close to him again.
Patrick: STOP...Look, I have to find Sabrina...
Robin: You're in no condition to drive Patrick, and you have two sleeping children...you can't exactly leave...
Patrick: Dammit! I'm certainly NOT leaving them with you either...
Robin: Oh, thanks...
Patrick: This is not the time to joke...my WIFE just caught us about to have sex...I have to explain to her what happened. He dials his phone and calls Sabrina....Son of a Bitch, voice-mail! He leaves her a voice-mail hoping she would at least call him back or come home.
Robin: (Puts her shirt back on) I'm sorry Patrick...I never meant for things to go like this.
Patrick: The HELL you did, he shouts...
Robin: You didn't exactly pull away when we were kissing...
Patrick: I was drunk, Robin...you took advantage of the situation and this was your plan from the start wasn't it?
Robin: Alright, yea...you got me, she throws her hands in the air....I want my husband and daughter back...there I said it.
Patrick: I hate to break it to you, but I'm in LOVE with MY WIFE! Sabrina...remember her?
Robin: Oh, yea...I do...believe me...she's the one who stole my life from me!
Patrick: Oh, my god! For the love of god...how many times are we going to have this conversation...
Robin: As many times as it takes to win you back...she says moving closer to him and he pushes her away.
Patrick: That is NEVER going to happen, especially not after tonight...I think you should leave now, he says opening the door for her to leave....I have to make a few calls...
Robin: Fine...BUT, you know where to find me if things don't work out...
Patrick opens the door and practically pushes Robin out the door as she leaves with a smile on her face. Patrick slams the door...
Robin: Act one, complete! She giggles and gets in her car and takes off.
Patrick continuously tries calling Sabrina to no avail...
Sabrina and Felix arrive at GH for her to get checked out.
Elizabeth: Hey you two...is everything okay?
Felix: Not exactly...he says feeling his phone ring in his pant pocket...hang on...Sabrina tell her what's going on...
Felix answers the phone and steps away from the girls...
Felix: Well, well, well...what the hell do you think you are doing Doc? He whispers.
Patrick: Is my wife with you?
Felix: Maybe?
Patrick: Put her on the phone
Felix: I can't...
Patrick: Why not?
Felix: We're at the hospital...she's getting checked out.
Patrick: Checked out? Why? Is she okay? He asks pacing worried sick and not being able to leave was worse...
Felix: I gotta go...
Patrick: FELIX, no, he shouts.
Emma comes out of her room...
Emma: Daddy?
Patrick: Oh, baby, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to wake you up...He says sitting her on the couch...
Emma: Is everything okay? Where's mommy?
Patrick: She had to step out and get some air...
Emma: Air? Why?
Patrick: It's complicated...daddy made a big mistake...come on, I'll tuck you back in...I promise I won't wake you again, he tickles her...
After putting Emma back to bed, he calls Anna to come and be with the kids.
Anna arrives a little while later and Patrick had sobered up enough to be able to drive.
Anna: Patrick, you look terrible...what happened?
Patrick: It's complicated...let's just say I screwed up...big time...Do you mind staying with the kids until I get back?
Anna: Of course...Where's Sabrina..
She looks at him again...and realizes he screwed up with her.
Anna: Ahhhhh, gotcha...go, find her...I'll stay until you guys get back...
Patrick: Thank you, so much...he hugs her...I don't know what I'd do without you.
Anna laughs...
Anna: Go find your wife.
Patrick rushes out of the house and heads to the hospital.
General Hospital
Elizabeth: Sabrina...I'm so sorry about that...it must have been awful...I know, I've been there.
Sabrina: It wasn't pretty, she said as Elizabeth took her vitals...
Elizabeth: Everything seems to look okay...I'm going to get your blood work to the lab, but you seem to be just fine.
Sabrina: I told Felix it was nothing, she slaps his shoulder.
Felix: Sue me for caring, he laughs...
Patrick arrives at the hospital...
Patrick: Sabrina! He shouts hoping she would hear him.
Elizabeth: As soon as your lab work comes in you're free to go Mrs. Drake, she smiles...I'm sure everything will be fine between you two...you are so in love I can't even imagine Patrick going back to Robin.
Sabrina: I hope your right...I can't lose him.
Elizabeth leaves and literally runs into Patrick yelling for Sabrina.
Elizabeth: Whoa whoa, easy...Patrick...slow down...
Patrick: Have you seen Sabrina? Felix said she was here. What's wrong?
Elizabeth: Well, for starters, Sabrina finding you with Robin...that's what's wrong.
Patrick: That was a HUGE mistake...It meant nothing...Robin was using the situation to try to get me back, but I told her off and it's over...I need to explain to my wife...Please where is she?
Elizabeth: Calm down, she replies putting her hand on his shoulder...calm down...she is fine...I have her blood work here and her vitals are all normal. She had a dizzy spell and got sick at Felix's. This happened earlier in the week and Felix was concerned so he brought her in for a checkup. She's right in that cubicle over there she points.
Patrick: Takes a deep breath...put a rush on those labs please.
Elizabeth: You got it friend...go fix things with your wife will you.
Patrick goes over to her cubicle and pushes the curtain open.
Sabrina: Patrick...she says quietly....what are you doing here? She gives Felix the evil eye.
Patrick: Your'e my wife...I came to make sure you were okay...and to bring you home.
Sabrina: I'm not going home with you....she says tearing up...
Patrick: Felix...do you mind?
Sabrina: No...he can stay...he's going to hear all about this anyway, he might as well get a free screaming match show. Patrick, How could you? She yells,punching him in the chest...collapsing to the floor in tears.
Felix: Yea, I'm leaving...you two need to work this out...I'll be out in the waiting area.
Patrick: Bends down and wraps his arms around his wife....hey...
Sabrina tries to shrug him off but doesn't want to let go of his arms around her...no matter how upset at him she is...she knows she loves him with everything she has...She stands up.
Patrick: There...he says wiping her tears.....that's better....he finally gets to hug his wife. Can I explain?
Sabrina shakes her head yes.
After Patrick explains what really happened that night, Sabrina takes a minute to answer him.
Patrick: So, can you forgive me? He asks with that puppy dog face he uses that always gets to her.
Sabrina: Can I trust that it won't happen again? AT ALL?
Patrick: Scouts honor...Sabrina, he takes her hands in his...the last thing I want is to ruin our marriage...you know that right?
Sabrina: I thought I did...
Patrick: I love you Sabrina...with everything that I have...
Sabrina: What about Robin?
Patrick: That's over...done...I won't EVER let her get to me again...I promise.
Sabrina sighs...
Sabrina: I believe you...I just don't trust that little...she cringes...
Patrick: I get it, he laughs...you're jealous.
Sabrina: HELL no! She slaps his shoulder finally laughing...
Patrick: I can prove it...He kisses her passionately to the point of uncontrollable lust...moments later Elizabeth enters...
Elizabeth: Whoops...I guess things are okay with you two? She smiles.
Sabrina: Yea...we'll be fine...she smiles hugging Patrick.
Elizabeth: I'm glad to hear that she smiles staring at her best friends with happiness.
Patrick: The lab results...is that them?
Elizabeth: It is....she smiles again.
Patrick: Is my wife okay?
Sabrina: I told you I'm fine...I wish Felix wouldn't have jumped to conclusions cause now I have a paranoid husband, she laughs....
Elizabeth: Well, Felix was right to bring you in...if he didn't well, who knows how long it would have been before this happened again, she teases.
Sabrina: What do you mean? Did the tests find something wrong?
Patrick: Elizabeth...please
Sabrina: What is wrong with me?
Elizabeth: Here, see for yourself...she hands Patrick the folder.
Patrick opens the folder and he and Sabrina look it over together...they both look up at each other and then at Elizabeth...
Elizabeth: Told you everything was fine, she smiles...I'll give you guys some time...you're free to leave whenever you're ready..she winks...
Sabrina: Thank you, Elizabeth, she smiles.....unable to comprehend what she was reading on the lab report...Patrick is frozen with a big smile.
Patrick: I can't believe this? He smiles. Is this for real? He smiles wrapping his arms around his wife.
Sabrina: (closes her eyes and smiles) Well, the tests don't lie...she laughs...
Patrick: No, they don't he smiles turning her to face him and he kisses her again.
Sabrina: Noah isn't even a year old, she realizes...how does that happen? She teases.
Patrick: Well, a few nights of making love to my beautiful wife could definitely explain things. And it doesn't matter how old Noah is...this can happen any time after 6 months after a baby is born and it does happen...
Sabrina: I can't believe it...we're having another baby? She says with tears of happiness...
Patrick: Looks like it...he smiles....Hey,
Sabrina: Yea? She turns to face him.
Patrick: I love you so much...he kisses her and twirls her around in a circle. Thank you for making me the happiest guy on the planet, he says with tears of joy himself....and from this moment on, he places his hand on her belly...I promise I will never EVER ever screw things up the way I did tonight...I love you Sabrina Drake...
Sabrina: I love you Patrick...they hug tight.
Patrick: Can I take my beautiful wife home now? Please?
Sabrina: Yes...she winks...let's go home...she takes his hand and they head home together after an extremely long night.
