CHAPTER TWO

"Jason, please understand. I can't do this anymore. I am sick and I have to concentrate on that. I hope my protocol is still working, but with all the sickness, I have it could have stopped working because of the stress that I am under. I can't deal with Carly and her throwing the fact that I can't have a child, or your affair or my HIV in my face anymore. I'm sorry Jason, I can't stay with Carly in the picture. Carly's won."

A stunned Jason looks, really looks at the woman he loves and realizes she is right. Robin shouldn't have to deal with Carly and her insults and his neglect these two things have made her sick, he couldn't lose her. What could he do to stop her from leaving? He knew he had to get Carly out of their lives or he would lose Robin, but what about Michael. He knew suddenly that he had a choice, Michael or Robin? He couldn't have both anymore. He knew what he had to do.

"I'm calling Justice and having my right to Michael turned over to AJ. I won't leave you in our bed alone anymore. I will be there every night that I don't have to work. I won't be friends with Carly anymore. She hasn't won. I love you more than anything or anyone. Please don't leave."

"You are really going to tell AJ the truth and turn Michael over to him?" Robin asked, stunned.

"Yes, I am. Robin, I can't lose you. I just can't. You are my heart and without you I can't survive. You taught me to love and you are the first person that I have ever loved and you will be the last. I will always love you."

"Alright, Jason, as long as you tell him and my family the truth about Michael I will stay. If you don't tell him I will leave."

"I know. I will call Justice and get the paperwork started and tell AJ and Mac that Michael is AJ's son and that I lied to everyone about it. Now when is your Dr.'s appointment? I would like to go with you." Robin searches Jason's face and concludes he is telling the truth.

"Alan called a few minutes before you got here and told me he needed to see me right away. So I will be heading that way in about a half hour."

"I'll shower and change. I want to go with you." Jason said.

"Okay." Robin said, she was worried about what was wrong and she in her worry about what was wrong she forgot that Mac was going to meet her in Alan's office.

Jason showered and changed and Robin and him left to go to see Alan about how sick Robin was. They were praying that her HIV protocol hadn't stopped working. Jason was scared of losing Robin to this horrific disease known as AIDS. He couldn't lose her to it, not now and especially when he knew he would be to blame for it because of the stress she was under because of Carly.

Robin was anxious to find out what was wrong with her, she was worried that her HIV had turned into AIDS and she was going to die. She was scared, especially since Alan wanted to see her right away when he got the tests back. She had gone in two days ago and had seen Alan and he had wanted her to take some tests including blood test and urine sample. Now she was going in to see what the results were. At least she had Jason here this time and she wasn't alone like she was a couple days ago. Though she wasn't going to be alone this time because she had called Mac. Oh Mac was going to meet her at General Hospital. She wonders if she should tell Jason, no let it be a surprise, she thinks. Serves him right for neglecting her, she didn't think he would care that she had a doctor's appointment or be here for her so Mac, who always was there for her was to meet her at GH so she wouldn't be alone. She didn't know that Jason would wise up and be here for her.

Jason knew he had a lot to do in getting Michael and Carly situated with AJ and turning his rights over to AJ. Justice would be the one to help him with that, he had to do it or he would lose Robin and he wasn't willing to do that. He had lived without Robin when she went to Paris when they broke up after he was shot and he couldn't lose her again, no matter what. He would turn his paternal rights over to AJ. Robin had faith in AJ and that he would make a good father to Michael. He sure hoped so.

They arrived at the hospital and Jason got out and helped Robin out. He had never noticed how tiny Robin was now but he could see it now. Her clothes were baggy on her and they didn't use to be baggy. She had indeed lost weight and she couldn't afford to lose that much weight. What had he and Carly done to her?

They head to the 4th floor and check in and a few minutes later Mac walks in and sees Robin and Jason sitting in the waiting room. He walks over to his niece and sits down next to her. "I didn't know he was going to be here."

"Neither did I. He came home after I got off the phone to you to meet me here so I wouldn't be alone for whatever Alan had to tell me. I need you both and I don't want any fighting. I don't know what Alan wanted to tell me and I need you both here with me." Robin said looking back and forth between the two men.

"Alright." Jason said, knowing Robin was right she needed the both of them to be there for her especially if she got bad news.

"For you I will do it." Mac said, not liking that Jason was here but for Robin he would stay and put up with Jason. Especially since he figured that as soon as Carly called Jason would leave and Robin would be in tears again because Jason cared more about Michael and Carly than Robin.

Jason said surprising both Robin and Mac, "After this is over I have something to tell you that is very important. So please don't rush off."

Robin looks at Mac and she is pleading with him with her eyes so he says "Okay."

Alan walks into the waiting room and is shocked to see Jason there and he says to Robin, "Robin, do you want Mac and Jason to come with us or do you want them to wait here while you are checked over and we talk about what I found?"

"I need both of them to come with us. I want both Mac and Jason to come with us." Robin said looking at Alan a man she had known most of her life.

"Alright, it is your choice. Let's go to my office to talk about the results and then you will be examined again."

Jason gets up and helps Robin up and Mac stands up and the three of them follow Alan hoping it isn't something serious or something that can't be fixed.
