Robin Scorpio and Patrick Drake have been best friends since the two were in diapers. Little did Patrick know, Robin had a crush on them since they entered middle school. Robin dated a couple of guys during high school and college like Stone, Jason, and Nikolas. Patrick never really understood why he became overprotective when she would have a boyfriend. Robin has returned back to Port Charles and Patrick begins spending all of his time with Robin. Leyla dumps him after becoming jealous. What happens between Robin and Patrick when Robin winds up pregnant after a drunken night?

When Patrick heard Robin say she had been raped, he thought he was going to be sick. He was definitely speechless and that seldom happened to him. His Robin--- the love of his life had been raped and he just found out after waiting for quite some time. He just didn't understand why she wouldn't tell him of all people. They had been best friends since they were in diapers and it killed him that some man touched Robin in a way that he never imagined. This was just something that he never ever imagined Robin would have to go through.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Patrick finally asked, as he rubbed the back of his neck, and turned to look at her.
Just seeing the tears in her eyes, he really didn't know what he was going to do. The only thing he wanted to do was to protect Robin from anyone and just everything from the world. As his eyes landed to her stomach, he let out a heavy, long sigh leave his lips.
"I didn't want people to feel bad for me, especially you, Patrick. I'm sorry that I never told you about--- this but I've been seeing Lainey about this."
"Come on, let's go home," Patrick replied, taking Robin's hand, and pulling her to him, kissing her forehead lightly.
"I think that would be best," Robin said, holding in her tears.

As Patrick was making them both some tea, he watched Robin pacing back and forth in the living room for a while, and then her taking a seat on the couch. He still couldn't believe it that HIS Robin had been taken advantage of. All he wanted was to bring a smile and he just prayed that in the end, this baby she was carrying would be theirs. He would love it no matter what but the fact of this baby boy or baby girl being his biologically would just make him feel a lot better than what he was feeling at this moment.
Handing Robin her mug of hot tea, he took a sip of his when he sat down, and then placed his mug on the coaster that was on the table in front of them. He then watched her wrap the through around her petite body and he let out a deep sigh.
"So, um, when did it happen?" Patrick asked, looking over at Robin, and taking hold of her hands when she placed her mug of hot tea on the coaster beside his.
Robin looked down at his hands that were wrapped around hers and she squeezed his hands lightly. "It had happened when we got into that huge fight over that patient. The day I had ignored you and walked home---"
"Oh Robin, this is all of my fault, and---"
Robin pressed her forefinger against his lips to shush him, hating that he felt what happened to her was his fault. "No, if it's anyone's fault, it would be the man that took advantage of me just like Lainey told me. I don't want you to even blame yourself for what this selfish bastard did to me."
"I---I just feel like it is, Robin, and I just cannot help it. All I want to do is to protect you from harms way," Patrick sighed, pulling Robin against him, and placed a hand on her belly.
"I know you do," Robin said, wrapping her arms around his neck, and laid her head against his shoulder.
"I'm sorry for accusing you earlier, baby. That argument I had with Leyla just got me so riled up and I am still upset at what she did when we had been together."
"You mean the abortion she had?" Robin asked, looking up into his eyes. "I promise you that I will never get rid of our baby. It's quite a blessing, actually."
Patrick kissed the bridge of her nose, holding her tightly to him. "I know you're nothing like Leyla, which I am thankful for, sweetheart. It just makes me upset that she would do something like that without talking to me."
"I know, baby, I know," Robin said, looking away from him.
Patrick saw this and he turned her face to him. "I'm sorry. No more talk about Leyla or the baby she had been pregnant with. I just want to think about us and out baby. How does that sound?"
"I think that sounds like a pretty good idea," Robin said with a smile and then looked down at her belly. "I just cannot believe that I am pregnant--- ten weeks to be exact. The first trimester of my pregnancy is almost over."
Patrick grinned at her, stroking her belly lightly. "I know. Your morning sickness will calm down a little bit, or at least, that's what I am hoping for."
"Well, the morning sickness is still bad but I think it's because of the prenatal vitamins I've been taking. I got sick from the other ones constantly so Kelly changed my prenatal vitamins. Hopefully, these will help me feel better," Robin said with a pout, patting her abdomen, feeling a rumble in her stomach.
Before Patrick could say anything, he watched Robin jump off of the couch, and then watched her run into the bathroom. He sighed heavily when he heard the sounds leaving her lips and he just wished she didn't have to go through this part of the pregnancy. Finally, he made his way to the bathroom. Soaking a hand towel with cool water, he brought it up to her forehead as he kneeled behind Robin and pulled her hair back. Stroking her back lovingly, he just hoped it would calm her down or something.
As Robin lay her head against the porcelain cover of the toilet when she flushed it, and let out a deep breath as she looked at Patrick when he sat down beside her.
"You okay, baby?" Patrick asked, looking into her dark eyes with his matching ones when she slid in between his legs.
Robin gave Patrick a faint smile and she nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm okay. It's actually not as bad as it had been when I was only a few weeks along. I am just thankful that the worst part is coming to an end."
"I wish that I had been there for you," Patrick whispered into her ear, wrapping his arms around her waist, and then looking down into her eyes. "I am just thankful that I could be here for you for the rest of the duration of your pregnancy. I didn't ever want this before--- but I do now. I've never ever wanted anything as much as I want this child that's growing inside of you."
Robin pulled back when she heard his words, tears filling her eyes, and she looked into his eyes. "Really Patrick?"
Smiling, he wiped away the tears from her face, and he kissing her cheek. As he leaned against the wall of the bathroom, he pulled Robin to his chest, kissing her throat softly.
"Sure, I've said that I never wanted to be a father, Robin, but this baby inside of you is amazing. I just hope that I can give he or she everything that my parents gave me while growing up."
"You know--- your mother would be so proud of you right now," Robin said with a smile on her face.
"She's probably smiling down at us that we're together and that we're having a baby. I never believed her when she would say we would be together."
Robin giggled, looking over at him. "I know."
"Wait…how do you exactly know? I never told you," Patrick said, being skeptical right now. "Did my mother tell you the conversations I had with her?"
Robin laughed softly, shaking her head, and she blushed softly. "That day I found out about my parents being alive, I heard you two talking."
June 15, 1987Seventeen-year old Robin Scorpio wiped away the tears from her eyes and she suddenly heard voices coming from the kitchen. After finding out that her parents were really alive, she just didn't know what to say or even do right now in her life. She felt like she was a mistake to her parents since they had faked their deaths. She just didn't even understand why they would even do this to her.
As Robin stood beside the entrance of the kitchen, she could hear Patrick and Mrs. Drake talking.
"Patrick--- sweetie, she needs you more than anything right now," Maddie replied, placing a hand on her son's shoulder. "Besides, what better way than for her best friend to tell her that he loves her?"
"Mom!" Patrick exclaimed, looking at her as he took a seat down at the table. "Are you trying to play matchmaker again?"
Maddie flashed her son a teasing grin. "I just want you, my son and the girl that I think of as a daughter, to be happy and what a better way for you two to be together?"
Patrick laughed, shaking his head. He thought that his mother would stop when Robin and him would get older but that only made her more determined that they should be together. Besides, it wasn't like Robin had feelings for him, right?
"There you go again," Patrick said with a smile on his face, shaking his head.
"What? It's not like I can't see the way you feel towards her, sweetheart," Maddie stated with a grin on her face, sitting down at the table when she placed a plate of food and a glass of orange juice in front of her son. "Now, you better eat up. You'll need to be a very strong man for Robin one day."
"Oh man," Patrick said, being sarcastic, and he took a bite of the eggs on his plate. "You actually think that Robin and I are going to get married, have children, and live happily ever after, Mom?"
"You said it," Maddie replied, taking a sip of her coffee. "I knew that you had feelings for her. I'm Madeline Drake and nothing gets past me."
Patrick laughed, looking at his beautiful mother, and then watched Robin walk into the kitchen. Could his mother be right? There was just no way that this was a possibility. Robin was only his best friend... Wasn't she?
Back to Present"Oh geez," Patrick stated with a shake his head. "It seems to me that you are quite a little sneak, aren't you?"
Robin looked at him and then stood up to her feet when she crawled out of his lap. "Well, I got you, didn't I? If I hadn't, who knows where we would be right now, Dr. Drake."
Standing up, Patrick bent down, kissing her on the lips softly. He then wrapped his strong arms around Robin's waist, and before he knew it, he felt Robin's legs wrap around his waist.
"I love you," Robin whispered against his lips, holding onto him tightly.
Patrick was the happiest he has ever been and nothing could ruin how good he felt right now.
"I love you too, baby," Patrick whispered against her lips before his lips came crashing down against her lips again.

Patrick looked at Robin's sleeping form in their bed and he couldn't hide the smile from his face. After talking more about the man that had raped her, Patrick knew she was sore about the subject, and all he wanted to do was to bring a smile across her face. Looking down at her stomach that would soon start to show signs of her pregnancy, Patrick let his hand wander down from her hip to over her belly, smiling. In due time, he would begin to feel their son or daughter kicking against their mother's belly.
"Patrick?" Robin sleepily mumbled, leaning her body back against him.
"Yeah?" Patrick asked, lifting his head up, and then looking down at her.
"I'm hungry."
Chuckling, he kissed her cheek softly, and he looked at her. "Well, do you want to go to Kelly's or have me cook something for you?"
"I was thinking since we're both off today, we could spend the rest of the day together?" Patrick offered, sliding his hand up and down her hip when he pulled her close. "How does that sound?"
"Will you make french toast for me?" Robin asked with a big smile on her face, rubbing her fingers along his that were on her belly, and then turned to him. "I miss the taste of your delicious cooking."
Patrick sat up, pulling Robin in his lap. "I will cook anything for you, gorgeous."
Robin grinned at him as she scattered off of his lap and off of the bed. Reaching for his hand, she took his hand, and helped him out of bed.
"Good, I want some fruit with my breakfast too," Robin said, laying her head against his chest.
"I can do that, gorgeous. Why don't you go ahead and take a shower?" Patrick suggested, taking a step back, and moving a strand of hair away from her face.
Robin leaned up and kissed his lips. "I think that sounds like a plan."
As Robin watched Patrick walk out the door and shut the door behind him, Robin let out a shaky breath. Looking at the full-length mirror, she lifted her shirt over her head, and looked at her belly. As a smile peered over her head, she grabbed her towel from the cupboard in the bathroom when she walked inside. All she knew was that this was the beginning of Patrick's and her life. No more secrets from either one of them and that's what she wanted. What she wanted was to have a relationship based on trust. She didn't want to end up like Lucky and Elizabeth.

Feeling Robin's body behind him, Patrick smiled as he flipped the last piece of toast on the plate with the other pieces of french toast. Just having her body so close to him, he smiled at her. As he cleaned the pans from the stove into the sink, he turned around to face her, and his arms slid around her waist, pulling her to him. He just flashed her a smile, noticing her hair was pulled up in a ponytail.
"The food smells delicious," Robin said, looking up into his eyes, and then lay her head against his chest.
Leading her to the table, he helped her sit down, and then began to place the plates of french toast, croissant twists, bacon, eggs, and sausages on the table. Setting her glass of apple juice in front of Robin, he took a seat next to her after getting himself a glass as well.
"Well, I hope that you will enjoy it, sweetie. How was your shower?" He asked, as the two of them began to serve their plates full of the food he had mustered up while she had taken her shower.
"It was heaven," Robin replied with a grin, taking a bite of her eggs. "And so is this, baby. Thank you so much for a well cooked meal this morning."
"I am glad that you enjoyed it. So, what do you want to do today? Do you want to stay inside or do you want to go out for the day?"
"No, I want to stay inside of our home, and spend the rest of the morning, afternoon, and night with you," Robin replied with a small smile cascading over her lips. "Is it a bad idea that I want to do that?"
Patrick flashed her a grin after he took a piece of bacon into his mouth. "No, no, I think that sounds like a wonderful idea...Ah! Spending the entire day together...the possibilities of fun are infinite"
"Good," Robin said with a grin, sliding her hand over his kneecap, and a serious look came over her face. "I've been wondering something…"
Patrick took a bite of his french toast with his eggs and he turned to look at her. He couldn't help but to wonder what was going through her mind.
"And what is it that you have been wondering?" Patrick asked, looking up into her eyes with a small smile on his face.
"Well," Robin began, taking a deep breath. "I have been thinking about us, actually. I mean, I have been curious if I weren't pregnant... would we even be together?"
Patrick was in definite shock as he heard the words that left her lips. "Robin--- sweetie, where is all of this coming from? I mean, is there something bothering you?"
Robin sighed, putting her fork down, and placed her hands into her lap. "No, I was just curious. Is it so horrible to even wonder if we would be together if I hadn't become pregnant, Patrick?"
"No, no, not at all. I don't know if we would be together right now, but I do know that in time, we would eventually end up together," Patrick said, grabbing one of her hands after he placed his fork on his plate. "Are you sure no one has been asking you questions or telling you this? Was it Leyla? Did she say something you?"
Robin saw the fire in his eyes and she blushed lightly. She could see by mentioning Leyla's name, he sure wasn't happy at his ex girlfriend's name.
"No, I haven't even talked to her at all. You would be the first to know if Leyla talked to me. I would probably be distressed or something," Robin sighed, looking over at him, moving her body into his lap, sitting sideways. "I just couldn't help it since I am pregnant and all. Can you blame me?"
Giving Robin a smile, he simply shook his head and he wrapped his arms around her waist, and he laid his head against his chest, letting out a shaky breath.
"No but I can't help but wonder, especially what Leyla did yesterday," Patrick said with a pout on his face, looking at Robin. "She ripped up the sonogram photo of our child."
Sliding her hand into the left side of her pajama pants, she pulled out a photo, and then placed it into his hands after seeing the look on his face. She smiled when she saw the tears beginning to welt inside of his eyes.
"Isn't this yours, though?" Patrick asked, lifting his head away from her chest.
Robin simply nodded. "Yes, it is, but I am the one pregnant. Knowing you, sweetheart, you probably want to be the one to flaunt the picture of 'Baby Drake-Scorpio', if I am correct."
Not being able to hide the broad smile from his face, all he could even do right now was pull her even closer.
"You're right! But are you sure? I mean, surely, you will want to have your own picture, Robin."
Robin shrugged her shoulders. "I can see how heartbroken you are about not having your own pictures and I'll be the one being envied by all the female nurses and doctors to be having your child."
"Well, you do have a point," Patrick said with a laugh, looking down at the photo of their son or daughter. "Are you sure you want to be in that position?"
Hearing the teasing in his voice, she swatted his arm lightly. "You sure are full of yourself, Dr. Drake. I am starting to wonder why I am with you."
"Because--- you like me hell of a lot, and besides, you find me simply irresistible right now. How could you not want to be with me, gorgeous?"
"Now I am starting to get worried, especially with you're calling me gorgeous. Are you on drugs or did you do something that I haven't figured out?" Robin asked with a raised eyebrow as she looked at him.
Patrick laughed, looking at her, and placed his hands on her hips when he turned her body so that she was now straddling him.
"You know I am not doing anything, and if I were, you would have known by now. You ALWAYS know when I am hiding something from you. I have never been able to hide anything from you. Remember all the times I tried to plan surprise birthday parties for you, babe?"
Robin just laughed, placing her hands against his chest, and playing with the buttons of his shirt.
"You were never good at hiding anything from me."
"Because you always gave me those puppy-dog eyes of yours, which sucked. You'd batter your eyes at me and stick out your bottom lip. I always found you so attractive when you did that."
Robin blushed. "Really? I am glad that you think so."
"Robin, I do. You are the most gorgeous and attractive woman I've ever laid my eyes upon. I am still surprised to how Jason and Nikolas could let you go."
"They just weren't the guys for me. I think they are better off as my friends, anyways. They're about to be fathers too and I am just happy that they found two amazing women to be with," Robin said with a bright smile.
"I remember when you met Sam. You two were worse whenever Carly and you fought. I was really scared to what you two would do," Patrick admitted with a blush.
"Well, she accused me of trying to get back with Jason!" Robin exclaimed, sliding her hands up to his shoulders, and then wrapped her arms around his neck. "Now that she's expecting a baby with Jason, her main focus is on Elizabeth."
"I don't blame her, baby," Patrick said, being honest as he looked at her. "Lucky and Liz are getting a divorce and you know she always liked Jason. Even when you were with him, your friend liked him then."
Robin looked at him and nodded. "I know but I just think that lifestyle isn't safe for Cameron right now. Who knows what would happen if Liz was pregnant and not Sam. That would definitely be a problem."
"Oh gee, don't even make me think of that," Robin said with a roll of her eyes. "I know that Sam would be coming over and would be complaining about Elizabeth all the time. Thankfully, Sam's the one that's pregnant. From what I hear, Liz and Lucky have been spending a lot of time together, anyway."
"That would be nice," Patrick said, leaning in to kiss Robin fully on the lips.
Clinging to Patrick, all Robin could do was press her body tightly against his, and she began to intensify the passionate kiss between the two. As she sucked on his bottom lip, she slightly nibbled on his bottom lip, and then gently pushed her tongue into his mouth and then his began to wrestle with hers in an almost sinfully pleasant way.
Breaking away, Patrick looked at her, and sighed against her lips. "I love kissing you, babe."
"I bet you say that to all of the girls," Robin teased, sliding her arms away from his neck, and she closed her eyes as she lay her head against his chest.
"Hmm, no, not really. I just say it to all of the pretty girls, gorgeous, especially the ones carrying my child."
Robin pulled her head away from his shoulder and she flashed him a smile when she cupped his cheeks with both of her hands. "Oh, I like that answer. I actually like it a lot. So, you've only said it to me, baby?"
"Of course. Even though we've just ate, you taste so delicious," Patrick said with a knowing smile. "I feel so lucky to even hold you like this."
Robin smiled at Patrick and her lips found his again, capturing his lips in another mind-blowing kiss.
