Four hours had passed and Doctor Cole re-entered the room. He said a general hello to the four people in the room and flipped open Robyn's folder. He smiled as he looked over her notes and drawing out his pen he began to scribble something on one of the pages. He could tell Robyn was waiting intently for his verdict. Once he'd done scribbling his own notes, Doctor Cole looked up and replaced the folder back in its holder.
"Everything looks fine. You're free to go but if these gentlemen would allow it I just need to have a private word with you first?" Doctor Cole requested.
Robyn nodded and when Robbie, Kit and Langford had left she spoke, "What's up?"
"There were a couple of things I wanted to clear up with you before you leave." Doctor Cole explained coming to sit on the chair that Robbie had vacated, "I'll be blunt Robyn, you look ill. You've looked ill for quite a while and it doesn't escape my notice that you've lost a lot of weight, weight you never had in the first place. It's understandable that someone who's had as much stress as you in recent times will lose weight. However, I don't only think that your weight loss is entirely down to stress. You've not been eating properly for a while have you?"
Looking slightly guilty, Robyn shook her head.
"I thought not. That's why I've taken the liberty of prescribing you some supplements to help build you back up again healthily. I'll have you weighed weekly until we start to see some improvement and then we can go from there. Today is Thursday so I'll see you on the following Thursday at three pm at the Outreach Clinic. Kathleen is getting everything together that you'll need to take home and I'm sure she'll give it to the boys. If there's nothing else you need all I can say is go home."
Robyn smiled and swinging her legs over the edge of the bed, hugged Doctor Cole. He returned her hug and helped her up. Waving goodbye to Robyn he left the room so that she could get changed.
When Robyn changed she left the hospital room and saw Langford, Kit, Robbie and Peters waiting for her. She could see Kit holding a big bag that she guessed had the supplements that Doctor Cole had mentioned inside.
Robyn went to walk over to Kit but stopped and looked at Robbie before turning back to Kit, "Do you reckon you three could go and get the car?"
Understanding what Robyn was asking Kit nudged a confused Langford and started to follow Peters down the corridor who'd also picked up on Robyn's subliminal hint that she needed time alone to talk to Robbie.
"Robyn, I'm so sorry." Robbie began before Robyn could say anything and waved her hand away when she tried to silence him, "I should never have been like that towards you. I don't know what came over me. There's nothing I can say that goes anywhere near even making things up to you. If you want to involve Sportacus in your life again I can't stand in your way, I have no right to interfere. I just want you to do what you think will make you happy."
Robyn wrapped Robbie up in a big hug, "I'm sorry I didn't talk to you first. I shouldn't have just invited him in. I'm just so tired of all the fighting I wanted to go some way to make amends for what I've done to him and he apologised for what he's done to me but I told him it's not something I can simply forgive. The only way any of us is going to move on is if we stop fighting and work through each thing as it comes. He invited me to go to dinner with him some time but I'll understand if you don't want me to go."
"You can go, just make sure he pays!" Robbie smiled, letting Robyn go as she released him from the hug. "And I hope I'm still your daddy?"
Robyn returned Robbie's smile before giving him another hug and kissing him on the cheek.
Stephanie looked at the garden of her Uncle's house with confusion. She walked over as she saw Bessie hanging out some clothes she didn't recognise. It was only when she drew closer that she realised who the owner of the clothes was.
"You're doing his laundry?" She asked her nose wrinkled with a hint of disgust.
Bessie turned to look at Stephanie before finishing pegging the last item of Morgan's clothing to the washing line, "I thought it would be nice for him. He's been wearing the same clothes for days."
"But Bessie he's a-"
"Young man that needs help," Bessie interjected, knowing where her partner's niece was heading to in her last statement, "Besides, he helped Robyn. He brought her back to us and he rid us of that awful Elias. I don't condone his actions and neither does your Uncle but he obviously risked his life to get Robyn out of Lily's clutches. I admit I felt the same as you did with your Uncle's decision but Morgan has been a very quiet and polite young man."
Stephanie saw Bessie look to the side of her as she spied something in the distance and turned around. Two of the Network vehicles were winding their way down the road towards the house and both women smiled as Robyn got out of one.
"He's in the lounge Dear, go straight through." Bessie invited as Robyn approached.
Robyn entered the house, Peters following behind her on Langford's order.
Stephanie shook her head when Robyn had disappeared from her line of sight, "I just hope he doesn't hurt her like Cain did." She muttered before heading back home.
