About 6 months have gone by since Robin was sentenced and sent to Shady Brook. Life in the Drake house has been hectic with the kids and work and they wouldn't have it any other way.
There is a knock at the door
Sabrina: "I'll get it," she says running to open the door.
Juan is standing there with a sad look on his face.
Sabrina: "Oh my gosh! Juan!" She hugs her cousin! "This is a great surprise! Come on in," she says excitedly.
Juan: "Cousin...nice to see you too," he hugs her close.
Sabrina: "Wow! I haven't seen you since our wedding!"
Juan: "That's right...I see some things have certainly changed" he smiles a little seeing the boy's playing on the floor.
Sabrina bends down and introduces the boys to Juan.
Juan: "Noah and Liam, they are just perfect cous."
Sabrina: "I think they are she teases...so enough about me! How are you?" She takes his coat and they sit.
Juan is silent for a few minutes not sure how to tell her what he has to tell her.
Sabrina: "Juan, what is it? I don' like the look on your face right now...what's wrong?" She says putting her hand in his. "Tell me."
Juan: (Takes a deep breath) "That's just it, I don't know an easy way of telling you this, he says tears forming."
Sabrina: "Okay, now you're scaring me."
Juan: "Maybe I should wait for Patrick to come home."
Sabrina: "No!" She shouts..."The boys look up at her"...she strokes their hair.
Juan: "Okay, okay. Your father and step-mother um...they..."
Sabrina: "What? They what?"
Juan: "They were murdered!" He says tears falling. "Sabrina, I'm so sorry...I didn't want to be the one to tell you this news ever"...he takes her hands, as she is in complete shock and not saying anything.
Sabrina: "I'm sorry...I thought I just heard," she shakes her head as tears fall down her cheeks.
Juan: "Prima, I'm so sorry," he cries..."say something!"
Sabrina: "How? She says simply? Why? I don't."
Juan: "Neither do I! I got the call yesterday and took the red-eye right away to you. I didn't really get the chance to get all of the exact details, but from what the police told me, it was a mob hit."
Sabrina: "A mob hit?" She says softly in utter shock. "My father wasn't involved in the mob," she says questionably.
Juan: Stares in her eyes..."I am afraid he was Bri."
Sabrina: "What, what happens now?" She says in between sobs.
Juan: "First, I hold you! That's what happens"...he hugs his cousin.I'm so sorry..."if I could take this pain away for you, I would." He wipes her face. "Can I call Patrick for you?"
Sabrina: (looks at her watch) "He should be on his way home from his shift at the hospital." She says picking up the boys and holding them close to her. "I appreciate that you came all this way to tell me.I have to get home"....she says getting up.
Juan: "That's not a good idea...it's not safe there..."
Sabrina: "I don't understand...they killed my father...what else could they want?"
Juan: "You"...he answers quietly.
Sabrina: "What?! How do they even," she shakes her head and is completely dumbfounded.
Juan: "They don't stop until they have everything they want and I just had to warn you myself in case they found you in the states."
Sabrina: "Juan, your scaring me...I have children...little children at that...how could this be happening? My father lied to me!? He was never a banker, was he?" Juan shook his head..."He made his rich fortune with dirty money?"
Juan: "I'm afraid so!"
Patrick opens the door a little while later with Emma.
Patrick: "We're home!" He says not seeing Juan or Sabrina at first.
Patrick drops his bag and sees Juan holding Sabrina.
Patrick: "Emma, honey..."
Emma: "I'm going, I'm going..."
Patrick: "Thanks babe," he kisses her head and she goes to her room.
Juan: "Patrick, hi," he shakes his in-laws hand.
Patrick: "Juan, this is a great surprise, but something seems wrong. I'm obviously missing something...babe, come here, what's wrong?" Sabrina leans on Patrick's chest and just sobs. Juan tells him what had happened and why she was so upset.
Patrick: "Oh, my god"...he says just as shocked as his wife. "Babe, hey," he lifts her tear soaked face..."What can I do?"
Sabrina: (Shakes her head in disbelief) "Just hold me,"she cries.
Patrick: "Forever!" He holds her close. "Okay, so we will fly down to Puerto Rico and have a proper burial and service."
Sabrina: "We can't do that," she says finally able to talk without so many tears.
Patrick: "I don't not?"
Juan: "It's not safe for her or your family to go there right now."
Patrick: "OK, what are you getting at? There has to be a reason why Sabrina's parents were killed by the mob...they just don't go around shooting innocent people, normally," he says under his breath...
Sabrina: "Patrick, my father was head of the mob in Puerto Rico. I just found out myself. I was lied to my entire life!" She says angrily now.
Patrick: "I don't believe this," he says shocked. "So why can't we go to Puerto Rico?"
Sabrina: "Because they are after me," she finally says.
Patrick: "You?! Why?"
Juan: "Because it's the mob! They aren't finished until they have everything they want...and right now, they are looking for your wife...I'm sorry to be so blunt, but we have to protect Sabrina and the kids, and even you for that matter."
Patrick: "Do these crazy mobsters know where my wife is?"
Juan: "No...they still think that Sabrina is in Puerto Rico somewhere, but that doesn't mean that they won't realize that she must be in the states. Do you know of anyone who might be able to protect you from people who you aren't familiar with on a daily basis?"
Sabrina and Patrick both shake their heads
Juan: "Hold on...I'm an idiot! My former step-father can help!"
Patrick: "And that would be?" (Not knowing of Juan's and Sonny's connection).
Sabrina: "Michael Sonny Corinthos, Jr."
Patrick: "You've got to be kidding me! Sonny? How does Juan know who Sonny is?"
Juan: "He was my step-father."
Patrick: "Seriously?"
Juan: "Yea, he was married to my mother. It was forever ago now, she died in a car bomb that was meant for him, pregnant with my brother."
Patrick: "Right...Lilly! I've heard of her...I wasn't around then, but I know some of the history."
Sabrina: "That's awful!"
Patrick: "Maybe we should involve my former mother-in-law? She's Chief of Police and head of the WSB."
Juan: "No, that's not a good idea...if they know the authorities are after them, you will secure your wife's fate in their hands."
Patrick: "Would you stop being so blunt, you're freaking me out."
Sabrina: "And let's not forget me, the one whom they are after in the first place. Don't I have a say in what we decide here?"
Juan: Of course you do Prima, What would you prefer?
Sabrina: "Honestly, Anna...I think the WSB has a greater chance at catching these lunatics better than Sonny Corinthos can. No offense."
Juan: "None taken, believe me."
Patrick: "If Anna is what my wife wants, then Anna is what she'll get," he kisses her.
Sabrina: "Although, Sonny's got pretty reliable bodyguards," she smiles remembering her Milo days, knowing it would drive Patrick crazy.
Patrick: "Seriously?"
Sabrina: "Milo doesn't work for him anymore and Max is definitely not my type," she teases!
Juan: "Ok, I'm completely lost."
Patrick: "Never mind...but you are right about Max...and he does have Shawn now who is much stronger and more reliable than Milo ever was.
Sabrina: "So, should we set up a meeting with Sonny then and see if he won't help us out?"
Juan: "It's worth a shot...should I have him come here?"
Sabrina & Patrick: "NO!" They all laugh.
Sabrina: "Tell him to meet us at the Metro Court."
Juan goes to make the phone call...
Sabrina: "I'm sorry about this," she says wiping her face..."I know how you feel about people in the business being so close to our family."
Patrick: "Hey...it's not your fault...you had no idea who your father was. We'll figure this out, nothing is going to happen to my girl!" She laughs a little.
Sabrina: "Thanks...I love you too"...she kisses her husband. "I'm going to put the boys in for a nap."
Patrick: "Ok...don't worry, everything will be just fine. Promise."
Sabrina agrees and takes the boys to their room.
Juan: "Okay, We're all set."
Patrick: "Yea? What did he say when you told him?"
Juan: "I didn't give him any specifics really just yet, I just told him a family member and her husband wanted to meet with him."
Patrick: "That was smart! Sonny and I are not each other's favorite person."
Juan: "I get that vibe," he laughs. "But if anyone can protect our Bri, he can. And once he knows she's a part of my family, he will work over time to make sure she is protected at all times. We're still surprisingly pretty close."
Patrick: "I guess it helps to have family in high places," he laughs trying to make light of the situation.
Juan: "Your boys are adorable by the way! I see you've lived up to your vows and continue to make my cousin as happy as she deserves to be!"
Patrick: "I do my best," he smiles..."we have hit a few bumps along the way, but that's what marriage is..."
Juan: "I know all about your ex...Sabrina kept me up to date and would send me pictures of the kids now and then. She also mentioned the incident of Liam's birth."
Patrick: "We're still healing from that, but we're okay."
Juan: "She told me if you didn't approve of the surgery, she wouldn't be here right now."
Patrick: "That's right...I did what I had to to save my wife."
Juan: And for that I'm eternally grateful," he smiles.
Sabrina comes back from taking the boys their room.
Sabrina: "Everything ok?" She sees the guys in what looks like a serious conversation.
Patrick: "Yea, we were just saying how much we both love you, that's all," he winks, sitting her next to him on the couch.
Sabrina: (tears up) "Well, I'm one lucky woman!" She smiles and takes Juan's hand..."so we all set?"
Patrick: "We are! Do you think we can get a sitter for the kids?"
Sabrina: "Let me check with Uncle Felix," she winks! "I'll be right back! She goes to call Felix and comes back with good news.
Sabrina: "Felix is on his way!" She smiles!
