Thank you all for the reviews/follows/favorites. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story. Thanks for being patient with me while I write this story. I have ideas for the next chapter (Chapter 5), but we'll see if you like what I'm thinking. I don't have as many ideas as I did in the beginning, so if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see have happen, please leave them in a review. I will take them into consideration as I write the story. If I do use your ideas, I will personally thank you in an Author's Note. I enjoy hearing from you all so please keep the reviews coming. Thanks! I don't own any rights to the show or characters, just my own stories.

Chapter 4

(Sabrina is in the locker room looking in the mirror. She groans looking at herself)

Sabrina: "My mother always told me growing up how beautiful I am. But I sure don't feel beautiful. I look like one of the ugly stepsisters in 'Cinderella'. And my glasses…" (touching her glasses) "…who wears these kinds of glasses? Elderly people?" (sighs) "No wonder I have no luck in the romance department. Between what I wear and my glasses, and can't forget about my frizzy hair…" (sighs sadly) "If only I was pretty like Elizabeth. I'm sure she gets guys all the time." (looks up a little) "As for Dr. Drake, he seems so sad, but I don't blame him." (looks ahead of her) "If I lost someone I loved, meaning my wife/husband, it would be hard to go on living." (smiles a little) "At least he has Emma." (giggles) "She was so cute! So friendly to be around and funny when she asked Patrick who I was." (smiles a little) "Who knows? Maybe she'll let me get to know her more. As for Patrick, I'm sure he could use a friend." (shakes her head) "But, only if he's ready." (sighs) "I guess time will tell."

Guy: "Time will tell about what?"

(Sabrina jumps in repliance and turns around to see who is talking to her, revealing Patrick)

Sabrina: (nervously) "Oh, hi. D-Dr. Drake. I-I didn't see you standing there." (chuckles nervously)

(Patrick walks to her)

Patrick: (chuckles) "Sorry, Sabrina. Didn't mean to startle you. You looked a little deep in thought."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "Oh, no, it's okay. You're fine."

(Sabrina clears her throat nervously as she looks at Patrick)

Sabrina: "How's Emma? She seems to be a very nice, sweet little girl."

Patrick: (nods & chuckles) "She's doing well. Thank you for asking. She is a very nice and loving girl, yes." (smiles a little) "Sometimes I think she gets that from her mother."

(Sabrina looks at Patrick sadly and can tell he's fighting the urge to let the tears come. She takes a step closer to him)

Sabrina: "I-I'm sorry, D-Dr. Drake…about Robin."

(Patrick looks at Sabrina and studies her facial expressions before speaking)

Patrick: (nods a little) "So, they told you about Robin?"

(Sabrina stutters while trying to figure out what to say. Patrick can tell Sabrina feels bad for knowing and that she feels bad for him. He shakes his head and smiles a little)

Patrick: "You don't have to feel bad, Sabrina. I'm sure by now you know the whole story. Right?"

Sabrina: (shakes her head nervously) "Well, n-not the whole story. I…Eliz-Elizabeth mentioned the accident happened about six months ago and that it was very hard on you and Emma."

Patrick: (sighs a little) "Did Elizabeth tell you how Robin died?"

Sabrina: (nods quickly) "Y-Yea. Drunk driving accident. She was on her way home to you and Emma when someone hit her."

Patrick: "With the way you've been acting lately, I'm guessing you didn't know how to act around me because of the situation? Am I right?"

Sabrina: (sadly) "Patrick…I-I mean, Dr. Drake…I'm so sorry. It was never my intention to cause you to be sad over my bringing it up."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "It's okay, Sabrina. But, you're not the one who brought it up. I did."

Sabrina: "Yeah, but, when someone goes through a loss like that, a-any loss, it can be painful to talk about it."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "I appreciate that. I know I'm not the only one who has gone through a painful loss. Meaning you and your mother."

Sabrina: (smiles a little & nods) "Yeah, it was rough to lose my mother. But the different between us…I've had a long time to grieve. You just lost Robin a few months ago."

Patrick: (shakes his head) "It doesn't matter whether you lost your mother growing up or recently. The pain over losing a loved one is always there."

Sabrina: (nods) "True. And to answer your question from earlier, no, I-I guess I didn't know how to act around you because of the situation. I-I didn't want to overstep because I knew you were grieving."

Patrick: (shakes his head) "No, you weren't overstepping." (smiles a little) "I know I haven't known you that long, but…" (chuckles a little) "I-I feel like I can tell you anything and you'd understand. You know, being you loved a loved one, too. I-I apologize if I'm overstepping."

Sabrina: (puzzled) "I-I don't understand. How are you overstepping?"

Patrick: "Because I don't want you to think that you have to tell me what happened to your mother just because you know what happened to Robin."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "I know that." (smiles a little) "To be honest, it's nice to talk about what happened to my mom with you. You know how I feel and vice versa. I admit I still feel bad because I don't want you to feel pressured to talk about it because I did."

(A thought just pops into Sabrina's head)

Sabrina: (chuckles nervously) "Okay, now I feel embarrassed."

(Patrick looks at her weirdly before chuckling chuckling softly)

Patrick: "Why?"

Sabrina: "Because what I just said just now, you said the exact same thing a little bit ago."

Patrick: (shakes his head) "I guess I didn't notice. Don't ever feel embarrassed with me, Sabrina. I like you for who you are." (smiles a little) "Besides, you're fun to be around."

Sabrina: (chuckles nervously) "Even though I'm the biggest klutz in the world? I'm surprised you're still talking to me. Considering the first day we met, I ran right into you and didn't watch where I was going."

Patrick: (smiles) "Accidents happen. I'm not worried." (jokingly) "Besides, I run into people all the time myself…you just don't notice." (shakes his head) "You're too hard on yourself."

Sabrina: (turns her head a little & smiles) "I highly doubt you're as a big of a klutz as I am, Patrick." (blushes) "But I appreciate you trying to help. You're one of the good guys here. I hope you know that."

Patrick: (chuckles) "I try to be anyway. Thank you for saying that." (sighs) "I admit, though, there are days where I don't feel like a good guy. Ever since Robin died, it gets harder to function and get through the day." (smiles a little) "If I didn't have Emma, I'd be lost."

Sabrina: (smiles & nods) "She's a very beautiful little girl. You should be very proud."

Patrick: (smiles & nods) "I am. She's doing very well in school and so far, I haven't heard anything bad about her in school. I admit I'm kinda surprised because her mother and her were very close."

Sabrina: "So are you and Emma. Never doubt your daughter's love for you."

Patrick: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you. Emma enjoyed meeting you the other day."

Sabrina: (faces lights up) "She did?"

Patrick: (nods & smiles) "Yep. She said how nice you were and that…" (chuckles) "….she loves the color of your glasses."

Sabrina: (laughs) "Aw! Well, at least one of us likes them."

(Sabrina touches her glasses before putting her hand down again)

Sabrina: "I'm not too crazy about them. But unfortunately, it's either these or contact lenses."

Patrick: "Have you ever tries contact lenses?" (waves his hands) "Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with your glasses. But the way you're talking about 'em…"

Sabrina: "To be honest, I've had glasses for as long as I can remember, so it never occurred to me to try contacts. I-I have had people say I should wear contacts because they'd bring out the color in my eyes."

Patrick: (nodding) "I agree. You have very pretty eyes. You look nice with your glasses, but I know you'd also look pretty with contacts. Whatever you choose in the end, Sabrina, I have no doubt you'll look lovely."

Sabrina: (chuckles) "Thank you, Dr. Drake."

Patrick: "I think we've known each other long enough where you can call me Patrick. Like I've said before, when we're with other staff or Epiphany, then of course it's Dr. Drake, but in private, it's Patrick." (points at her & smiles) "Got it?"

Sabrina: (nods & giggles) "Got it."

Patrick: "Well, I'm due in surgery, so I better go." (touching Sabrina's shoulder) "Talk to you later."

Sabrina: (nods & smiles) "Sounds good."

(Patrick walks away and leaves the locker room. Sabrina can't help but blush)

Sabrina: "Is it possible to have feelings for someone so soon, especially considering that person is Patrick?" (sighs deeply) "Why do I get myself in these situations? I know a possible relationship would never happen and I understand why, considering what happened to Patrick's wife." (shakes her head) "Quit putting ideas in your head, Santiago." (clears her throat) "I better get to work."

(Sabrina gathers herself before clocking in and going to work)
