Hey everyone, well, here is the last chapter. I haven't updated any of my Scrubs stories in so long. Because of what I've seen on General Hospital, I might start a new story just because of the fact that I might delete one or two of my stories. I might stop Unexpected Surprises, but honestly, I am not sure. Anyways, here is chapter twenty, the last installment of Best Friends or Lovers? And I've hoped that everyone has enjoyed it too. Anyways, enjoy, and leave feedback!
"I'm a week late," Emily grumbled, as she shook her head, and she sighed. "I just want Nikola to come already. I feel so big every, single day."
"I know the feeling. I am due in just a few weeks, actually," Robin said, as she patted her stomach, and she looked over at the two of them. "I really don't want to be late giving birth. I don't think Patrick and I could handle it. I just want this baby to be his so badly."
"I still cannot believe that this really happened to you," Elizabeth said with a frown, running her fingers through her daughter's dark, wavy hair, and she looked around. "So, Nathaniel Aiden Drake?"
"Mm-hmm. Isn't that the most perfect name?" Robin asked with a grin, as she stood up from the couch, and she gasped.
"Robin, what's the matter?"
"Um… I think my water just broke."
Twelve months Later
Nathaniel Aiden grinned, as he held onto the edge of the table, standing next to Adrienne, Nikolas and Emily's little girl, who had the brightest smile on her little face. The two were so close and Emily and Robin were so determined that the two were going to wind up together just like Patrick and Robin did after all.
The first two tests for Nathaniel had been negative that he hadn't had HIV but Robin had requested one last test because she had wanted to be exactly sure that her little boy wasn't infected with HIV. Just thinking about it, she thought back to the day after Nathaniel's delivery when she found out who was the father of her child.
Robin looked over at Patrick with a little smile on her face, watching him cradle Nathaniel in his strong arms, and she honestly could not have anything more than this moment. Kelly was going to be stopping in the room at any moment since it was almost noon, which meant the paternity of Nathan's father would be approaching soon.
"Are you nervous, baby?"
Robin nodded her head, as she nodded her head, and she looked away from him to the door. "Yes, we've been waiting for the results since you found out the possibility of this child not being yours. I honestly don't know what I would do if he wasn't yours."
Hearing her sigh, he frowned, and he stood up. Patrick placed Nathaniel, who was sound asleep, in the crib before he slid in the bed beside Robin, placing a hand on her hip to steady himself on the bed.
"Even if this child isn't biologically mine, Robin, I've told you so many times that I will think of him as ours together. You do know that, right?" Patrick asked her with a small smile on his face, as he then watched the hospital door open, and he was relieved when he saw Kelly standing there. "Geez, it took you long enough, Kelly."
"Patrick, don't even start on me," Kelly said with a roll of her eyes, as she shut the door, and she pulled the doctor's chair close to the bed, and she looked at them. "So, do you two want the results?"
Robin looked at Kelly like she was crazy and she simply nodded her head. "I know I do, Kelly. Please… don't stall. I can't take it anymore. I need to know exactly who is Nathaniel's Daddy, Kelly. Is Patrick the father or is it my rapist?"
Kelly then handed Robin the folder with the file, and as she watched Robin pull out the file with the results, she saw the happiest tears fill across her face.
"Robin, you got your wish. Nathaniel is definitely Patrick's. He's definitely going to inherit his dimples and all," Kelly said with a laugh leaving her lips, as she ran a hand through her hair, and she got up to leave before she wheeled Nathaniel's crib right next to Robin's hospital bed.
Patrick saw Robin deep in thought and he grinned from ear to ear. Everything was good and great. Any day, they would be receiving Nathaniel's last test results if he was HIV positive or negative. He just hoped it was negative because if not, Robin would only blame herself.
"Are you thinking about the day after Nathan was born, gorgeous?" Patrick asked Robin with a smile on his face, as he pulled her into his lap, and he kissed her shoulder very gently, just so happy right now.
Robin laughed softly, as she nodded her head, and she looked to where Nathan and Adrienne were playing with the toys in front of them. "I can't help it. It's the day that we both found out exactly who was his father. I am so glad that it turned out to be you, Patrick."
"So, Patrick, when are you going to propose to Robin?" Emily blurted out, as she grabbed Nikolas's hand, and she smiled in between the two of them. "It's definitely been over than a year."
"Emily," Nikolas groaned, as he shook his head, and he looked at Robin and Patrick with an apologetic look on his face, as well. "I told you that you need to mind your own business. This is Patrick and Robin's decision if they want to take that way."
"Knowing these two, they would rather stay together just like this," Emily grumbled with a shake of her head, as she placed her hands on her hips when she stood up to her feet, and she looked over at them. "You two better not be like this by the time Nathan's a teenager."
Nikolas rolled his eyes, giving his wife a little push towards Adrienne. "Go and get our daughter. We're going to be late for our reservation."
"It's just the Metro Court, Nikolas," Emily said, as she went to retrieve her little girl, and she looked at Robin. "Don't forget to call us with the test results after you two get the results of Nathaniel's HIV test."
. . . . .
Patrick led Robin out of their son's room, while he listened to the results that Elizabeth was telling him over the phone. He had a straight face on his face, so Robin wasn't even sure if it was even good or bad news. It was always hard to tell when it came to Patrick to see if he was lying or not. All Robin knew was she had everything she could ever want and that was a wonderful boyfriend and a beautiful baby.
Robin sat down on Patrick's lap when he sat down on the edge of the bed, placing a hand against his chest. She never did well when it came to things like this. Things that were stressful to her never did well and she didn't like it that her boyfriend was still on the phone with Elizabeth, which she guessed that she was explaining everything to Patrick. All she wanted was for her son to not go through what she went through in life.
"So, what's the verdict?" Robin asked softly, as she looked at Patrick, and she bit her lip, still not seeing any emotion returning to his face, which annoyed her. "Is Nathaniel okay? Is he healthy?"
Patrick looked at her and then smiled, nodding his head, as he looked into her eyes. "Yes, he's perfect, Robin. Our little boy is doing wonderful and he won't have to worry about having HIV. Isn't that wonderful? You got your wish."
Robin wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, as she kissed him softly, just so happy at that very moment. Since the time she found out she was pregnant, all she wanted was to find out if she had infected her son. The news that she hadn't infected Nathaniel made her so happy and nothing would change how she felt.
"Oh, that's the best news that I could ever ask for," Robin sighed out of happiness, as she looked lovingly into his eyes, fusing her lips against Patrick's.
"I know, gorgeous. Nathaniel's just as perfect like he was since the day he was born," Patrick said with a smile.
"And more," Robin gushed, as she kissed his lips once again, and she pulled Patrick in for another kiss. "I actually wanted to talk to you about something."
Patrick could hear the seriousness in her eyes and he smiled at her, kissing the top of her head. He just hoped that whatever she said meant that everything was still as perfect as ever. He then watched her open her mouth to tell him exactly what was going on in that beautiful head of hers.
"Well, I… I want to experience being pregnant again," Robin said, as she took a deep breath, and she looked over at Patrick with nervousness in her eyes. "Patrick, I want to do this right this time. I… I want to have your second child. The thing is… I want to have this second child, as your wife, and not just your best friend or girlfriend."
When Patrick heard his words, he was shocked, and his eyes went wide in surprise. At the moment his eyes went wide, he felt Robin begin to move off of his lap, but he pulled her back down on his lap, offering her a little smile in her direction.
"And where the hell do you think you're going, Robin?"
Robin frowned, as she took a deep breath, and she looked away from his face. "Just forget what I said, Patrick. If you don't want me to become your wife, then-"
"What makes you think I wouldn't want to be your husband?" Patrick asked with a grin, as he looked into her eyes, and he pulled out the Tiffany's box from his pocket, placing it in her hands. "Why don't you open it?"
Robin's hands were shaking, while she opened the box, revealing the most beautiful ring she had ever seen before in her entire life. It was white gold and it had a white diamond in the middle. Around the diamond were four, little pink diamonds that were around it, and the band was smooth, as well. It was also a princess cut just the type of ring she had imagined seeing herself wearing.
"Patrick…"
"Baby, I love you so much, and words can't even describe how much I do. Ever since I met you when you hurt yourself when we were kids when I first met you, I knew that we were going to wind up together," Patrick whispered against her lips, taking the ring out the box, and he placed it halfway on her finger. "I want to be your husband and I want you to be my wife, along with the mother of my children. Robin, will you marry me?"
Robin felt tears sting inside of her eyes and she nodded her head quickly, looking up into his eyes when he slid the ring all the way onto her finger where a smile lit her face. She felt Patrick wipe away her tears and she smiled sheepishly at her fiancé.
"I can't believe this," she mumbled, a happy smile on her face, and she stroked his cheek lovingly. "I love you."
"And I love you, Robin. I am going to always love you," Patrick whispered against her lips, as his lips came crashing down on hers, and he smiled when he broke the kiss.
Robin and Patrick finally got everything they deserved and wanted and that was a happy ending for the two best friends. Now that they were engaged to be married where they would work on getting pregnant again, nothing would stop the two.
