CHAPTER TWO
"The baby doesn't have a father, Uncle Mac, I had AI done. I didn't tell you because I just found out I was pregnant the day Dorian Matthews was murdered. The Paris police are trying to say I killed him because I was pregnant with his baby and he didn't want it. Dorian Matthews was a patient of mine and that was all he was ever. The Paris police don't have any other suspects so the police are trying to hang this murder on me. They are not looking for anyone else, because they have me but I didn't do it."
"We know you didn't do it Robin, you would never murder anyone. What did you treat him for?" Sonny asked.
"Dorian Matthews was my patient, but I cannot divulge what I was treating him for, I was forced to tell Frisco and Sean but I cannot tell anyone else, his treatment was private."
"Well you specialize in one area so I can guess what it is that he was seeing you for." Mac said, smirking at Robin.
"You specialize in one area of medicine? What is it?" Jason asked feeling left out of the loop.
"It's not medicine I specialize in. I decided against becoming a medical doctor everyone except Mac, who already knew about my change of career, from medical doctor to psychiatrist."
"Why did you decide to become a psychiatrist instead of a medical doctor?" Sonny knew it was Stone and Robin's dream for her to become a medical doctor.
"The first year of med school my roommate was raped and no one liked her because of the type of girl she was most people figured she deserved it because she slept with a lot of guys so no one knew what to do and what to say to her, she didn't have any family and needed counseling and she joined a rape group and didn't want to go alone so I went with her to the group and to her counseling appointments and I was hooked I asked a lot of questions so I could help her and I did, she was ready to commit suicide until I stepped up and decided to help her. It wasn't an easy decision I didn't like her either but I knew no one deserved to get raped and she said no, which no one really believed I even had my doubts but after listening to her in the group and in counseling I no longer had any doubts she said no. That is why I changed my major I wanted to help people that had been raped and that is what I specialize in along with helping and treating HIV and AIDS related cases. I, one time had to treat a rapist which I hated but France wanted an expert opinion on the inner workings of this criminal's mind so they could decide rather he should go to prison or a mental hospital. Before you ask he went to prison for life no chance of parole. He was playing them by pretending to be sick in the head so he could get out of prison and that is what I testified to, that he knew right from wrong and just didn't care."
"You took on a lot. Do you ever regret being a rape counselor and not a medical doctor?" Carly asked.
"No, I don't not for one single minute do I regret what I chose to do. I love being able to help someone who has been raped or has HIV or AIDS, it is very satisfying work and I love that I can help someone who has been raped."
"Carly, ask her." Sonny says, knowing they can trust Robin.
"Ask me what? About whatever happened to Carly?"
"How did you know that something happened to me?"
"Your posture a woman who has been abused usually has a way of holding herself so as not to be noticed especially when discussing this subject. You haven't asked a lot of questions or tried to have me thrown out of here. You have circles around the eyes and that means not sleeping a lot. Added together it tells me something bad happened and you don't know how to deal with it. I'm willing to help you if you want help. You can talk to me and you won't have to worry about me saying anything to anyone you will pay me a dollar each time we meet and that ensures that you are a patient and whatever you say is between us and no one else."
"Can Sonny and Jason sit in on the sessions?" Carly asks looking up and in Robin's eyes for the first time.
"As long as they know I am the one who asks the questions and you, Carly are the one who answers I will not have them answering for you if you can answer the questions or tell me about what happened, if you can't then we will try something else until you can tell me. You are the one who was abused not them and you are the one that needs to be willing to seek help, they can't do it for you. You are the one who has to want help so you are the one who will be on the hot seat so to speak because you are the one who will need to tell me what happened and who did it to you. If you can do that with them in the room they can stay if not they will have to leave."
"Okay, when do we start?" Carly asked.
"We just did accepting help and wanting help that is the first step and you just took it so we have already started. Now we just have to continue but you accepting help is the first step."
Mac said "No one has a problem with Robin staying here with you Jason. So you will keep her safe, right?"
"Yes, Mac we will keep Robin safe and in hiding, although she doesn't look a thing like she normally looks."
"No she doesn't but I don't want her to go out on the streets either, no one may recognize her but I don't want to take any chances."
"Don't worry Uncle Mac, I'm sure Jason, Sonny and Carly will keep me safe from the French Police."
"Yes we will." Sonny says.
"Okay, I have to go. I'll try to visit as often as I think it is safe, but me coming here could be bad for you so I will try to stay away. Maxie and Georgie will be coming here often though so I might be able to use that and come and see you."
"Maxie, Georgie, why?"
"Spinelli lives here and Georgie is his best friend. So since Spinelli is here so is Georgie and Maxie and Jason doesn't seem to mind."
"Who or what is a Spinelli?" Robin asked.
"Spinelli is a kid that adopted Jason. Damien Spinelli. He worships Jason and so Jason adopted him and he lives here. He won't tell anyone who his parents are, or anything about his life before he found Jason."
"You adopted a kid? How old is he?"
"He is thirteen years old and he is different, he knows computers though, like the back of his hand, he is good at that."
"What are you going to tell him about Robin, I don't want him or Georgie and Maxie to know what all is going on. Maxie and Georgie know Robin is in trouble but not what exactly."
"Spinelli can be trusted with the truth that you are in trouble and came to me and is living with me. We will tell Maxie, Georgie and Spinelli that you and I are trying to get back together and that you moved in with me so we could try to get back together no one needs to know that you are here, that is between the two of us, that is what we will tell the kids."
"Sounds good, we just have to keep the kids from telling anyone Robin is in town and where she is." Mac said.
"Mac, no offense but you have been here for quite a while and someone might get suspicious and come looking for me here. I need to rest anyway I am tired after the long trip and the baby and I need to relax now."
"Okay, you are right I have been here too long." Mac hugs Robin and says "Thank you, Jason and Sonny." and with that he leaves Jason's penthouse and Robin sits down on the sofa and says "Okay Carly when do you want your first session?"
"You said you needed to rest." Carly said, confused.
"That was to get my uncle out of here. I feel fine although I could use some water, juice or milk, just something without alcohol in it."
"I'll see what I got in the kitchen." Jason leaves the room and goes to the kitchen to see what they had. He wasn't sure what day the refrigerator was stocked with food. With Spinelli there they had to keep the refrigerator stocked. He found some orange juice and poured Robin a big glass of it.
Jason comes back in the room and Sonny and Carly are sitting side by side on the loveseat and Jason takes the seat next to Robin across from Carly and Sonny.
"Okay, let's begin." Robin says after taking a drink and thanking Jason for the orange juice. "Carly, who abused you?"
