Chapter 6

(Sabrina, Patrick, and Emma finish eating supper. Sabrina offers to do the dishes being Patrick made supper. When Patrick tells her she's their guest, Emma speaks)

Emma: "I'll help Sabrina with the dishes, daddy. Sabrina's right; being you made me my favorite meal, the least we can do is clean up." (to Sabrina) "Right, Sabrina?"

Sabrina: (shakes her head & smiles) "You don't have to help. Emma. I can take care of them."

Patrick: "How about this? I'll wash the dishes, Sabrina will dry them, and Emma will put them away? That way, we're all doing something."

Sabrina: (laughs) "That sounds perfect."

Emma: (giggles) "I like that idea."

(As Patrick's washing the dishes, he hands the clean dishes to Sabrina, who dries them. Emma is carefully standing on a chair next to the cupboard so she can put the dishes away. Patrick would occasionally splash a little bit of water at Sabrina, who would laugh. Patrick walks to Emma and gives her a quick hug and kisses her cheek before returning to the dishes. Once the dishes are done, Patrick gives his daughter a snack and she watches an episode of SpongeBob Square Pants. Once the show is over, Patrick is about to tell his daughter it's time for bed when Sabrina raises her hand, stopping Patrick)

Sabrina: (whispers) "She fell asleep."

(Patrick looks at his daughter, who's peacefully sleeping on the couch. He goes to his daughter and gently picks her up and Emma sleepily lays her head on her father's shoulder. Patrick carries her to her room and puts her to bed, covering her up and placing her pink bear next to her and leaves her little light on so it's not completely dark. After leaving Emma's room, he goes into the living room, where Sabrina is slowly walking around looking at pictures against the wall and on top of bookshelves)

Patrick: "What do you think?"

(Sabrina turns around to face Patrick)

Sabrina: "Oh, hey. Emma still asleep?"

Patrick: (nodding) "Yeah. She had a long day, so I should've known she was tired, especially from all the excitement."

Sabrina: "Robin was very beautiful."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "Yeah, she was. Thank you."

Sabrina: "You must miss her…both of you."

Patrick: (nods) "We do…everyday." (sighs deeply) "It was so hard on both of us the day of the accident. Robin…she…."

(Sabrina can tell it's hard for Patrick to talk about it)

Sabrina: "Come here, Patrick. Let's sit down."

(Patrick nods and she leads him to the couch where they both sit down)

Sabrina: "I am always here if you wanna talk. If you're not ready yet, that's fine. I completely understand."

Patrick: "I've never talked to anyone about what happened to Robin. I-I mean, yeah, I told Elizabeth, Epiphany, and the others parts of it, but…never really told anyone. I don't want to put you through it." (shakes his head) "It's not fair to you."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "You're not putting me through anything. I know what it's like to need to open up to someone, but not sure who because you don't wanna burden the person."

(Sabrina puts her hand on his thigh and looks at him tenderly)

Sabrina: "I don't have any close family members near here. I have one sister, but she was the 'popular' girl in school and-and I guess you could say I was the nerd. I always got straight A's and she was a cheerleader." (scoffs lightly) "She didn't treat me the best even though our mother warned her against insulting family. But she didn't care. She wanted her way. Mom did the best she could, but it wasn't enough."

Patrick: "Sounds like your sister was a real piece of work."

Sabrina: (rolls her eyes) "That's one way of putting it."

Patrick: "What about your father? I mean, didn't he teach her about respect?"

Sabrina: (laughs) "Dad always defended her. My sister always found an excuse to get her way." (scoffs) "My sister never cared about anyone except herself. Our father was too busy to notice all the trouble she caused. But my mom, she could see right through it. My sister is three years older than me. My mom always told me to treat others the way I wanna be treated so even though my sister was always rude, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, even when she didn't deserve it."

Patrick: "How old were you when your mother died? You said she was a nurse, right?"

Sabrina: (nods) "Yeah, she was a nurse." (smiles) "She was a very good one, too. She taught me everything I know before I went to school for it."

Patrick: (smiles) "I'm sure that helped to get a head start on it from your mother."

Sabrina: (chuckles) "Yeah. She always told me what to do in case of an emergency. I was ten years old when she passed."

Patrick: "How'd she die?"

Sabrina: "Brain aneurysm. She felt weak and tired that morning, but she didn't think anything of it until it got worse then I told her to go in. Yeah, she was a nurse, but she was the type to not go see a doctor or take anything for it until she couldn't tolerate it. She was always a toughie. But that day, my sister, she could even tell mom looked bad so after she told her to go in, mom finally did. After the doctors admitted her to check her out, she took a turn for the worse and by the end of the day…" (sniffles) "…she was gone. There was nothing anyone could do."

(A few tears fall down Sabrina's cheeks. Patrick takes her in his arms and she rests her chin on his shoulder. He can hear her softly crying)

Patrick: "It's okay, Sabrina. Get it out. Shhh…I'm right here."

(Sabrina slowly shakes her head and a few more tears slide down her face before she sniffles and calms down a little. She lets go of Patrick's embrace and they look into each other's eyes and he softly plays with her hair)

Sabrina: (smiles a little) "Thank you."

Patrick: (puzzled) "For what?"

Sabrina: "I-I've never really told this story to anyone before." (smiles a little) "You're the first."

Patrick: (shakes his head) "You mean you've never shared this with any of your friends or other members of your family?"

Sabrina: "No one important. I mean, yeah, I've had friends here and there, but like I said before, my sister was the more popular one. My mother was my closest family member…my best friend."

Patrick: "What happened to your sister? I mean, where is she now?"

Sabrina: (shrugs) "I don't know. After my mother's death, my dad eventually remarried and she was kinda like my sister so of course I was the odd one out."

Patrick: (scoffs) "Didn't your father do anything?"

Sabrina: (shrugs sadly) "Not really. The only thing he might've done was buy me things to make up for his absence, but he paid more attention to my sister being she was the 'perfect' one."

Patrick: (shakes his head) "She was not perfect. Not by any means. If I ever do see this sister, I plan on telling her that."

Sabrina: "I haven't seen her in years and to be honest, I have no interest in seeing her."

Patrick: "I don't blame you." (sighs) "It's not easy when you have a parent who treats one daughter better than the other. I'm sorry you had to go through that."

Sabrina: (smiles a little) "Thank you. After I graduated high school, I left home to go to nursing school and pretty much started a new life. The rest is history."

Patrick: (scoffs) "I'll tell you one thing, if I ever choose to remarry and possibly have more kids, I will die before I treat them the way your father treated you. No child should ever have to go through that."

Sabrina: (smiles) "I know you would never let it happen. You're a great dad, Patrick."

Patrick: (sighs sadly) "Sometimes I wonder."

Sabrina: (confused) "Why do you say that?"

Patrick: "Now that Robin is no longer here, I sometimes feel I'm not doing the best job as a parent. I-I mean I try to be, but it's not easy."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "You're doing a fantastic job. I see it every time you two are together."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "Robin was a great parent."

Sabrina: "Hey."

(Sabrina makes sure Patrick's looking at her)

Sabrina: "So are you. If you ever need reassurance, I will be more than happy to tell you."

Patrick: (chuckles) "Oh, really?"

Sabrina: "I know we haven't known each other long, but you're the best person I know. After you, it's Elizabeth." (smiles) "She really took me under her wing when I first started. You as well. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know."

Patrick: "If you ask me, your dad and sister don't know what they're missing because you are a beautiful, talented, and smart young lady. If you ever need reminding, I will gladly tell you."

Sabrina: (smiles) "You're so sweet, Patrick."

Patrick: (laughs) "I'm slowly getting there."

(Sabrina smiles at Patrick and tilts her head)

Sabrina: "Tell me about Robin. I would love to hear about her."

(Patrick looks at Sabrina and smiles appreciatively before speaking)

Patrick: "The moment I met Robin, I knew there was something special about her. I was dating other women and she was looking for Mr. Right. After dancing around each other for a few weeks, it was clear we had feelings for each other, but we were both too stubborn to admit it. Epiphany…she could see how we both felt and kinda pushed us together. Without even realizing it, we got to know each other and started falling in love." (chuckles) "Of course, at first, she thought I wasn't serious, but after dating her for a few weeks, I showed her I was. A year into our relationship, I told her how I felt and she did the same. We both then knew we were in it for the long haul. A few months later, I was looking for an engagement ring to make it official. After finding the perfect ring, I planned to propose to her during a romance night at my place. I had champagne and her favorite foods. When she said she couldn't drink the champagne, I asked why. At first, I thought maybe she didn't like the brand, but she quickly told me it had nothing to do with it."

Sabrina: (confused) "What was her reasoning?"

Patrick: (clears his throat) "She was pregnant…with Emma."

Sabrina: "Oh." (chuckles softly) "That's a good reason."

Patrick: (laughs) "Yeah, right? She said she got a blood test to make sure so there was no confusion. She asked me how I felt about it. I was shocked at first, of course, being I thought we were being careful. But I know things happen so in the end, I was happy. When I asked her to marry me, she thought it was because of the pregnancy but I quickly assured her it wasn't and to prove it to her, I told her when I purchased the ring…which was on the anniversary of our first date."

Sabrina: (smiles) "Aw, how sweet!"

Patrick: (smiles) "Yeah, I thought so, too. She said yes, of course and we were married before Emma came. We had a wonderful life. All couples have their moments of course, but we loved each other and Emma was proof of that."

(Patrick starts to get sad and breathes sadly)

Patrick: "The day of the accident….I had the day off and she had to work. After Emma came home from school, she and I decided to make Robin's favorite meal, which was BLT's." (chuckles) "I swear, that woman could live on those if she had a choice. She called me from the hospital and said her shift was almost done and couldn't wait to see us. I told her I loved her and that I was making her favorite and of course she was excited. Emma wanted to draw her a picture so Robin had something nice to see when coming home. Robin's usually home within a half hour so when forty-five minutes passed, I started to worry a little. At first I thought maybe she had to stop and either put gas in her car or get milk. When an hour passed, I called the hospital to make sure Robin had left and they confirmed she did. About fifteen minutes later, I got the call that Robin was in an accident."

(A few tears fall down Patrick's face and Sabrina puts her hand on his shoulder to comfort him)

Patrick: "I didn't want Emma to know yet being she was too young to understand and I wanted to know how serious it was first. Thankfully, the neighbors were home and were kind enough to watch her when I told them about the accident. Emma kept asking me where Robin because she should've been home by now. She could tell I was worried about something even though I tried not to let it show." (chuckles softly) "You know how kids are. They're very alert to what's going on so they can pick up on things."

Sabrina: (nods) "Yeah, I agree with you on that."

Patrick: (sniffles) "Anyways, I got to the hospital and was able to find her room where she was currently at." (sighs deeply) "It was bad. I was able to see her and she was so bloody and so many machines were hooked up to her. Epiphany let me see Robin briefly before they took her to surgery. I went into the exam room where she was and tearfully held her hand and told her how much I loved her and that Emma drew her a picture to give to her." (sniffles) "She briefly woke up and saw my face and smiled, saying my name. I told her I would be waiting for her when she got out of surgery and that Emma and I loved her. She smiled briefly and said she loved me, too. She tried to tell me what happened, but I told her to save her strength. She then started apologizing to me and said she tried to avoid the driver, but I shook my head and told her everything was okay and she did fine. I gave her a kiss on the cheek before the doctor said it was time. I walked with her as far as I could until they took her to surgery."

(Patrick wipes his eyes and tries to prevent the rest of the tears from coming, but it's clear the tears are overpowering him. Sabrina takes him in her arms to comfort him and a few tears slide down her cheeks as she continues to listen to the story. Patrick breaks free and clears his throat)

Patrick: "Robin's surgery felt like an eternity. After about an hour of waiting, the doctor came out to see me. With the expression on his face, I knew what he was going to tell me. After the doctor informed me Robin didn't make it, I walked around like I was in another world or in a daze. I fell back because I couldn't stand anymore and thankfully there was a wall behind or I would've hit the back of my head on the floor. Epiphany tried to comfort me, but all I could think about was 'what am I gonna tell Emma? She's too young to understand.' But I told myself that I had to tell her because sooner or later, she was gonna hear people talking and I wanted her to hear it from me."

Sabrina: "How did she react?" (sighs) "That's a stupid question. Obviously not very well."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "It's okay. I tried to be as sensitive as I could, but when I told her that mommy was in an accident and that she didn't make it, she asked where mommy was. I told her she was in heaven and that mommy was watching her from heaven. Emma asked if she'd ever see Robin again and I said someday. I-I honestly didn't know how to respond to that."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "You did the best way you knew how."

Patrick: "Yeah, well, I don't think it was good enough."

Sabrina: "Listen to me, okay?"

(Patrick nods at Sabrina)

Sabrina: "You were faced with a very difficult situation and any parent in your shoes would be lost as well. You did just fine with helping Emma. Don't doubt yourself. Like you said, Robin will always be watching over Emma." (smiles) "You as well. From what I can see, Patrick and I'm sure everyone would agree with me on this, you're doing beautifully with raising Emma. Believe in yourself…because I do."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "Thank you, Sabrina." (sighs) "I have to admit that it made me feel better talking about this with you."

Sabrina: (smiles) "I'm glad. I'm always here."

Patrick: "I appreciate that. I'm glad you and I can talk to each other about things."

Sabrina: (nods) "Same here."

(Patrick shakes his head and wipes his eyes and briefly smiles)

Patrick: "Okay. I'm sorry for being a downer on tonight."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "No, you weren't."

Patrick: "I was, uh, thinking of watching a movie tonight. It's one of Emma's favorites. Whenever I'm sad, thinking of her cheers me up."

Sabrina: "What movie?"

Patrick: "Shrek." (laughs) "No matter how many times her and I watch that, it always makes us laugh." (nervously) "If you don't have any plans, you're welcome to stay and watch it with me."

Sabrina: (smiles) "I would love to. As a matter of fact, that movie is a favorite of mine as well."

Patrick: (chuckles) "Sounds like you and Emma will get along just fine."

(They both laugh before Patrick gets the movie and after he puts the movie in, they lay their backs against the back of the couch and smile at each other before enjoying the movie)

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. As you can see, a lot of feelings were being felt. Patrick and Sabrina needed to discuss what happened to both of them. I hope I did it justice. Thank you for those who review/follow/favorite. I appreciate it. Until next time!
