Ch.24
On Christmas day, Robin brought Emma back home to Patrick and Sabrina after spending Christmas morning with her. They invited Robin to stay to watch Emma open her presents but Robin denied them. "Thanks for the invite but I promised Uncle Mac and Felicia that I would be over at the house soon for Christmas dinner." She told them. Noah and Juan came over a while after Robin left and Emma was happy to see them both. Since it was the twins first Christmas and their first Christmas as a family, Patrick used the camera Sabrina got him to film everyone opening their presents. Behind his new camera, Patrick saw Sabrina smile at one of the gifts he got her. It was a diamond infinity heart pendant necklace. "Do you like it Nurse Santiago?" Patrick asked while filming her. She looked up at him and blushed. "I love it Patrick. Put that camera down and come help me put it on." Sabrina replied back. "As you wish my lady." He said as he did what she asked. Sabrina lifted up her hair while Patrick clasped the necklace around her neck. It now joined the other necklace he got her with the kids names engraved. "Thank you for the necklace Patrick." Sabrina said to him. She reached out to kiss him which he immediately responded to. They pulled apart and Patrick fingered the necklace that was now around her neck. "You have my heart forever." He whispered against her lips. "And I want to have yours forever as well but I know that I have to earn the right to cherish it again. And I look forward to proving it to you." Patrick said with promise. Sabrina felt her heart race as she thought about what Patrick had in store for her but it went away as soon as Patrick leaned down to kiss her again. It was short and sweet but it still had a dizzying effect on her.
Later on during the day, Felix, Lucas, and Elizabeth and her boys joined them for Christmas dinner. The house was full of laughter, singing, and kids running around. After dinner, everyone sat around the Christmas tree in the living room as Noah read one of Emma's favorite Christmas stories, The Night before Christmas. Patrick stood from afar as he filmed Sabrina with their kids gathered around her as they listened to the story. He never imagined that he could be this happy. Before Sabrina came back, he was dreading the holidays but she had come back to them just in time for Christmas. That in itself was a miracle. The phone ringing interrupted his thoughts and he ran over to pick up so it wouldn't cause a disturbance. "Hello." He answered as he walked away from the living room. "Hey Patrick, its Sonny. Merry Christmas." He heard Sonny say over the line. Patrick felt uneasy now. Why was Sonny calling? "Merry Christmas Sonny." He replied back. "Thanks, how is Sabrina doing? Is she ok?" Sonny asked urgently now. Patrick frowned and glanced over at his family as if making sure that they didn't disappear. Patrick walked further away so Sabrina or anyone else wouldn't hear him. "Sabrina is fine Sonny. Why wouldn't she be? What's going on? Is it Carlos?" Patrick asked frantically. "Everything is fine Patrick. I just wanted to make sure everyone was ok. And don't worry about Carlos. He won't be bothering Sabrina or your family ever again. I made sure of it." He said with an edge to his voice. Patrick knew not to ask any questions so he didn't even bother. Patrick always hated what Sonny did for a living but he couldn't help but feel relief when Sonny said that they didn't have to worry about Carlos ever again. The weight that Patrick was carrying ever since Emma and Sabrina was kidnapped was now lifted off his shoulders. "Thanks for checking up on us and for telling me about Carlos. Was that why you called?" Patrick asked. "Uh no, there's more. I have something to share with you, Sabrina, and Juan. I was wondering if you three could come by tomorrow or the day after, whatever is convenient for you all." Sonny stated. Patrick glanced up towards the living room again and this time he met Sabrina's eyes. There was concern in them and he tried to smile to show that everything was ok. "I'll get back to you later on after I talk to Sabrina and Juan." Patrick answered. "Ok, its important Patrick so please don't forget." Sonny said. "I won't, I'll call you back later." Patrick said. He hung up the phone and walked back towards the living room. Sabrina eyed him as he sat next her. He reached over for his son who had been sleeping peacefully in his mother's arm. "Is everything ok?" He heard Sabrina whisper to him. He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. "Everything is fine. I'll tell you about the phone call later. Tell Juan not to leave. I need to talk to him about something." Patrick whispered back. Sabrina was confused but she nodded anyway.
When Noah finished telling the story, Elizabeth decided to leave. Like the Drake kids, her boys were sleeping. Patrick and Juan helped carry them into her car and she thanked Sabrina and Patrick for the invitation. It wasn't long until Felix, Lucas, and Noah left as well. Patrick, Sabrina, and Juan tucked the kids in and went back into the living room. "So what's going on Patrick? Sabrina said you wanted to talk to me." Juan started. Patrick nodded. "Sonny called." Patrick replied as he watched Sabrina. A look of fear came over her face and he immediately went over to her and grasped her hand. He used his other hand to touch her face gently as he looked at her square in the eye. "It's ok. Sonny said Carlos won't be bothering us ever again." Patrick reassured. "Are you sure?" She whispered. He ran his hand through her hair. "Sonny sounded serious. I didn't ask him any questions but he sounded sure in what he was telling me. It's over Sabrina. You don't ever have to worry about Carlos ever again." Patrick stated. Sabrina eyes filled with tears as she embraced Patrick. He held onto her and kissed the top of her head. When she pulled back, he kissed her on her forehead. "What else did Sonny say?" Juan asked. Patrick looked him and then at Sabrina again. "Sonny wants to meet with us as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow. He says he wants to share something with us all. It sounded important. He is expecting me to call him back with an answer but I wanted to talk to you two first." Patrick explained. "Did he say what it was about?" Sabrina asked. Patrick shook his head. "Who's going to watch over the kids if we go? Mona and Mercedes are with their families." Sabrina said. "I asked my dad and Felix before they left if they could watch them tomorrow and they agreed. I didn't want us to sit on whatever he has to tell us and have you worry about it. Are you ok with going tomorrow?" Patrick asked her. Sabrina looked over at her cousin who looked lost in his thoughts. "Juan, are you ok with coming with us tomorrow?" She asked him. "Yea, I wonder what it could be. Maybe it's about my mother." He replied. "I guess we'll find out tomorrow." Patrick answered back. He called Sonny back as promised and they settled on meeting with him in the afternoon. That night Sabrina couldn't sleep and crept into Patrick's room quietly trying not to wake him up. She slipped into the vacant side of the bed and pulled the covers over her. She sighed quietly and shut her eyes to try and sleep when she felt Patrick's arms snake around her waist. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and kissed the back of her neck. "Are you ok?" She heard him whisper. Sabrina placed her arms on top of Patrick's and intertwined their fingers. "I didn't want to be alone." She admitted to him. Patrick kissed her on her temple and pulled her closer into his arms. "You never have to be as long as I'm alive." He said to her. Sabrina nodded and sank into the warmth that radiated off Patrick. "I love you." She whispered to him before she closed her eyes. She felt him smile against her skin. "I love you too Sabrina." He replied back before they fell asleep in each other's arms.
~Sonny's House~
The following day as Patrick, Sabrina, and Juan drove over to Sonny's house, they all felt anxious about what was about to go down especially Sabrina. She couldn't shake this weird feeling she had deep within herself. A part of her still couldn't believe that Carlos wouldn't be a danger to her or her family. When they arrived to Sonny's house, they were greeted by Max and led to the living room where Sonny was waiting for them. Patrick shook hands with Sonny and he embraced Juan. When it came to Sabrina, everyone noticed how there was a difference to how he treated her. It was like he was looking at her in a new light. "How are you Sabrina?" Sonny asked. "I'm ok. We had a wonderful Christmas with the kids. Thanks for asking." Sabrina replied back. "Please everyone sit down." Sonny stated. Patrick sat next to Sabrina and Juan next to Sonny. "Why did you want us to meet with you Sonny? Is this about my mother? Did you find her?" Juan asked straight to the point. After Patrick told them about Sonny wanting to meet them, Juan immediately thought about his mother. Juan had been surprised when Sabrina finally told him about how she managed to get home. When he found out that his mother was the one that helped her, a lot of emotions went through him. He called Sonny immediately to find out if he knew anything but wasn't successful in being able to reach him. "Yes it is. I was able to find Lily in Puerto Rico and bring her back to Port Charles." Sonny began. Sabrina and Juan looked at each other. "Where is she?" Sabrina blurted out. "She'll be here in a few minutes. She wants to stay at a hotel while she's here so we set her up at the Metro Court." Sonny explained. "Is she ok? Was she hurt when you found her?" Juan asked. Sonny could see how affected Sabrina and Juan were when they found about Lily. "The letter that Lily gave to Sabrina to give to me stated that she needed me to come to Puerto Rico and who I should speak with to get to her. Only when I got there, they said that she had been captured by Carlos and some men who were loyal to him and Lily's uncle after they took down the compound. It took me a couple of days but I was able to locate where Carlos had taken her and rescue her from him." Sonny paused and looked at Sabrina and saw the pain in her eyes. "I wanted to kill him for what he put you and Emma through but Lily begged me not to. The authorities had been looking for Carlos for a very long time for years of crime that he committed in Puerto Rico so she had me hand him over to them. He's going to prison for life Sabrina. Carlos won't be bothering you ever again." Sonny assured her. Sabrina nodded. "Thank you for helping Lily and for handing Carlos to the police. I can understand wanting to take matters in your own hands because I did when he lied about my kids being gone but when I look back at it now, I'm glad I didn't do it. Killing him and living with what I did would've been like carrying him with me all my life so I'm glad you didn't do it." Sabrina explained. Sonny nodded in understanding. Max suddenly came in. "Ms. Lily is here boss." They heard him say. "Send her in." Sonny replied. Juan stood up and waited for his mother to come in.
Lily Rivera was a sight for sore eyes. She was just as beautiful as he remembered his mother to be. Her long auburn hair flowed in waves down her back and her eyes shined with loved as she looked at her son for the first time in years. Juan walked towards his mother and immediately hugged her. "You're home." He said in a tear filled voice. "Yes I am my son." She whispered back. Juan pulled her back and looked at her. She held his face between her hands. "Look at you. You're even more handsome in person. The pictures I've seen doesn't even compare to the real thing." Lily said with admiration as she looked at her son. "You kept tabs on me?" Juan asked. "Of course I did. You're my son and a big time singer too. I love your music." Lily said. She looked up and saw Sabrina who smiled back her. Juan released his mom as she walked towards Sabrina. They hugged immediately when she reached her. "I'm so glad that you're safe and that you're back in Port Charles where you belong." Sabrina said to her. Lily pulled back and touched Sabrina's cheek and smiled. "Me too sweetheart. I can say the same for you." Lily said. She looked over at Patrick and smiled knowingly. "I only just found out that you were Juan's mother. Had I known that, I would've definitely tried harder to get you to come with me." Sabrina stated. A look was shared between Sonny and Lily and it didn't go unnoticed by Juan and Patrick. "Why don't we all sit and talk." Lily suggested. When they all got settled, Lily began talking. "Now that we're all safe and we can finally put this Carlos nightmare to rest, there is something that I must confess to both you and Juan. It's one of the main reasons why I asked Sonny to have you all meet us here." Lily started. "You can tell us anything mom." Juan encouraged. Sabrina nodded in agreement. Lily took a deep breath. "Sabrina remember how I told you that my uncle faked my death with the car bomb." Lily began. "Yes, you said you suffered from memory loss for a long time because of it." Sabrina replied. "Yes but before that happened, I was pregnant with Sonny's child and somehow the child survived the car bomb accident." Lily continued. "I remember that." Juan stated. Lily looked at her son. He grabbed her hand to comfort her. He could tell that what she was about to say would be difficult for her. "When I woke up, I was in Puerto Rico. Two months had gone by and I woke up with no memories of my life and a small baby bump. I went through a lot of ups and downs during that time for obvious reasons. But as the days went by, I grew stronger and I began to fall in love with my child. I began to plan a life for the child and I in Puerto Rico. I ended up having a little girl on May 21st." Lily explained. Sabrina shook her head in disbelief. She had begun putting the pieces of the puzzle together as they listened to Lily. "What is it that you're trying to say mom?" Juan asked. But everyone knew what she was implying. Patrick grabbed Sabrina's hands as tears streamed down her face. "Just say it." Sabrina whispered. "Sabrina you were the child that I had all those years ago." Lily finally confessed. A sob released from Sabrina's mouth as Patrick took her into his arms. Lily who tried to be strong had tears coming down her face. Juan released her hands and glared at his mother. "What do you mean Sabrina was the child? You gave her up like you gave me up is that it?" Juan exclaimed angrily. "Juan, that's not fair! You know that the choice of being able to keep you was taken from Lily. She was forced to give you up!" Sonny exclaimed, defending Lily. "What about Sabrina? Was that choice taken from you as well mom?" Juan said. "No, it wasn't. It was my choice. And it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It was like losing you all over again Juan." Lily said brokenly. Sabrina had pulled away from Patrick to listen to what Lily was saying. Lily looked at her now. "I kept you for a year Sabrina. That year was truly one of the happiest times of my life. You were literally my miracle baby and I loved you so much. But my memories started returning and my eyes became open about the type of environment I was in. The only thing I began focusing on from then on was your safety." Lily turned to Juan. "And then I remembered you Juan. I remembered when Sonny and I found you and how happy and safe you were. So that's when the idea formed in my head to place you in the care of the Santiago's. I trusted them to take care of Sabrina like they'd taken care of Juan." Lily grabbed Sabrina's hand. "Giving you up was one of the hardest things I ever had to do Sabrina but I had to keep you safe and away from my uncle. I was afraid that he would've taken you away from me like my father took Juan away except my uncle would've used you for whatever he wanted. In a perfect world, I would've raised both you and Juan and we would've been a family but that's not the cards I was dealt. I am truly sorry for the pain I am causing you but I had to tell you the truth. Sonny and I are your biological parents." Lily said. Sabrina pulled her hand away from Lily and stood up. She felt as if she couldn't breathe. She looked over at Juan and then at Sonny. She had a mobster for a father and the man who she thought was her cousin was actually her half-brother. Her entire life had been a lie. Lily stood up and reached over to Sabrina but she flinched from her touch and felt Patrick behind her. "I can't be here right now." She said breathing deeply. "P-please take me home. I-I can't be here." Sabrina said in a quivering, tear filled voice. Patrick looked over at Juan who nodded at him. Patrick gathered her into his arms and began to make their way to the door. Lily began to go after her when she heard Juan say "Let her go. She needs to process all of this." Lily sank into the chair and buried her face into her hands and cried. Juan immediately embraced his mother. He was angry but he understood why she did it. "I know this wasn't the reunion you were expecting but Sabrina is going to need some time mom. Mom, look at me." Juan stated. Lily looked up at her son. "We are going to get through together. No more running or hiding. We are going to get through this as a family." He stated firmly. Lily nodded and smiled at her son. "I am so proud of you son. I love you so much." Lily said. Tears pooled in Juan's eyes as he hugged his mother again. "I love you too mom." He whispered back.
Sabrina cried all the way home. When Patrick pulled up in front of their home, Sabrina tried to get her tears under control before they went inside. The last thing she wanted was to ruin the holidays for the kids and Patrick with her family drama. She felt Patrick's hand in hers and looked up at him with sad eyes. He reached over and used his other hand to wipe her remaining tears. "We are going to get through this Sabrina." He reassured her. Sabrina shook her head. "My entire life has been based on lies. Sonny Corinthos, the mobster, is my father and the woman who rescued me from Carlos turns out to be my mother. I don't know what to do or where to go from here." Sabrina said brokenly. Patrick patiently listened to her. "A couple of months ago, Lucas found out that Julian Jerome was his father and even though we tried our best to comfort him, Felix and I didn't know what he was really going through or how he felt. But I now I know and now I understand. The woman who I thought was my mother; the woman who raised and loved me so much is not my mother. I loved her. I looked up to her." Sabrina stated. "Lily being your biological mother does not change the memories you have with her or way you felt about your mother Sabrina. It just means that you were blessed enough to have two mothers." Patrick said. Sabrina nodded. "We said the same thing to Lucas about his dad." Sabrina stated. "Sabrina?" He said urging her to look at him. "You don't have to figure out what you want to do this second. Just know that whatever you choose to do, I will be right by your side to support you." Patrick stated. Sabrina smiled. "Thank you Patrick and I'm not just talking about now, I'm talking about everything. I don't know how I would've gotten through the last couple of weeks without your support." Sabrina said with a smile. He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. "You underestimate yourself but I'm happy to be here for you always." He replied. Sabrina smiled. "Do you want to head inside now?" He asked her. Sabrina nodded. Patrick went around and helped her out of the car. They went inside the house and found Felix playing with Sophie and Samuel in the living room. Felix looked at Sabrina and knew that something was wrong. Sabrina watched as the twins became excited when they saw her and Patrick. "Hi Samuel. Hi Sophie." She cooed as she sat in between them. They were currently in their baby swings. "Felix, where is Emma?" Sabrina asked. "Uh Noah took her for some ice cream. They should be back soon." Felix replied. She nodded and continued interacting with the twins even though Felix could tell that she was upset. But when Felix looked up at Patrick, he knew that it wasn't the right time to ask what was wrong. So instead he grabbed her hand and said "I'm here for you always." Sabrina looked up her best friend and reached over to hug him. "Thank you Fe." She said trying not to cry. They pulled apart and he smiled reassuringly at her. Felix stayed with them for a while longer. When Emma came back, she suggested that they play a board game. Sabrina tried to keep her mind off what happened earlier but she couldn't. Sabrina thought about the irony of the situation. She remembered growing up and wanting to be a part of a big family and now that's what she had. On her mother's side, Juan was her brother but in way it always felt as such growing up with him. And she knew about Sonny's many kids with different mothers and now she would be included in the bunch.
That night after putting the kids to sleep, Sabrina went into Patrick's room before he fell asleep. He opened the door with no shirt on causing Sabrina to blush. "Can I stay in here with you again tonight?" She asked him tentatively. Patrick smiled at her and pulled her into the room and closed the door. Patrick sat next to Sabrina on the bed and linked their hands. "I shouldn't have walked out on them. I should've stayed." Sabrina stated. "You were in shock Sabrina; no one blames you for leaving." Patrick replied back. "I am so angry with Lily's father for his part in taking Juan away from her and her uncle for what he did to her. They were the reasons why Lily wasn't able to raise her children. I was gone for six months and being away from Emma and the twins was so unbearable, I almost didn't survive. When I look at them, I can't imagine not being a part of their lives. But Lily didn't have the luxury of coming back to her kids and she missed out on a lot." Sabrina said. "But Lily is back now Sabrina for you and Juan. You may have missed out on having to grow up without her but she's here now for your present. If you want to get to know your mother, then I say go for it Sabrina. Don't waste any more precious time." Patrick pointed out. Sabrina nodded. 'Patrick is right' she thought. "What about Sonny, my father who is in the mob? I stayed away from Carlos when I found out he had been working with Julian Jerome. I want to get to know him but not at the expense of our kids." Sabrina admitted. "I still don't like what Sonny does for a living either but if you want to get to know your father, then you should. We'll take it one day at a time. Everything else we'll figure out as it comes." Patrick said. Sabrina was surprised with how understanding he was about this entire thing. He truly had been her anchor ever since she came back. She found herself falling in love with him even more than she ever thought possible.
Sabrina leaned over and kissed Patrick. His hand immediately found its way into her hair, pulling her closer to him. This kiss that they shared felt different. There was a heavy desire in the way she kissed him fueled with want and need. Patrick's skin felt hot as Sabrina ran her hands up and down his chest and around his neck again. Tongues clashed as he parted her mouth and he heard her moan which nearly drove him to the edge. He pulled back, both panting from the feverish kiss they just shared. Patrick fought the urge from kissing her again as he stared at her thoroughly kissed lips. But Sabrina wasn't having it. She leaned over again and kissed him as she tried to convey just how much she wanted him, how much she wanted this. "I don't want to talk anymore." She said in between kisses. "I want to be you." She whispered against his lips. Patrick held her face in between his hands and looked into her eyes. He was looking for any uncertainty but he found none. All he saw was the same reflection of love he had for her. "Are you sure?" He whispered back. As much as Patrick had been waiting for this for such a long time, he didn't want to pressure her whatsoever. Sabrina had been through enough and he could wait until she was ready to share that part of her again with him. She leaned in and kissed him again. "I'm sure Patrick. I want you, I want this." She said again. And it was enough for him. He leaned over and kissed Sabrina as he laid her down onto the bed. He laid on top her careful not to crush her with his weight. He intended on showing her just how much he loved and missed her. He kissed her slowly and sensually as Sabrina ran her hands all over where there was skin. Sabrina moaned again when Patrick pulled away from her mouth as he placed hot kisses on her neck. She arched into his touch. When Sabrina felt Patrick's hands at the hem of her shirt, she tensed up and he immediately pulled away from her. Concern marred his face. "Are you ok? Do you want to stop?" He asked looking at her. "No I don't want you to stop." She whispered. She pulled him closer to her and reached up to kiss him again but he pulled back not wanting her to ignore what she was feeling. "Tell me what's wrong please. You and I have always been honest with each other. Why stop now." He said to her lovingly. Sabrina looked down not wanting to meet his eyes. "My body has scars on it from the kidnapping and from what I did. It isn't the same as it was before." Sabrina confessed. It pained Patrick to see how she wouldn't meet his eyes or how she couldn't see how beautiful she still was to him. It just reminded him of how much she was still affected by what happened to her. But that was why he was here, to reassure her that she was safe and loved. "Sabrina look at me please." He said to her. Sabrina looked at him and he saw traces of insecurity in her eyes. "I wish you could see the beauty that I see when I look at you. You went through something traumatic and I can't even begin to comprehend how you felt or what you went through but it doesn't define you Sabrina. You are beautiful inside and out, scar or no scar." Patrick stated to her. He ran his hand up and down her body. Sabrina saw the passion he felt for her and knew that the insecurity she felt about herself was all in her mind and something she would have to deal with. But she wouldn't let it get in the way of being with the man she loved. She never wanted to let fear get in the way of anything she wanted to do with her life again. She pushed Patrick away from her so that she could sit up. He thought that she had changed her mind about being with him until he saw her lifting up her tank top over her head. Patrick felt his heart race as she undressed herself. When she was finally in nothing but her underwear and bra, he continued to stare at her, taking her in. It was almost like he was memorizing every part of her body. Sabrina no longer felt insecure but pleasure from the way Patrick stared at her. "I'm ready." She whispered to him. He met her eyes and reached over to kiss her. He laid her down once again never once breaking their kiss. He kissed her with a passion and hunger he never felt before. He pulled back and looked at her. "You are so beautiful. I'll prove it to you." He said in between kisses. Patrick took his time kissing every inch of Sabrina's body, cherishing it, loving it. When it came to the scars, he lavished even more love and attention to those parts of her, wanting her to forget all the bad memories that came with them. Sabrina was full of desire for Patrick as he kissed her all over her body making her feel wanted and cherished. Her whimpers echoed throughout the room and it gave Patrick encouragement to continue pleasing her. After discarding the rest of their clothes, Patrick made love to Sabrina, both of them reveling in the feeling of finally being with one another again. "I love you." Patrick whispered in her ear when they came down from the high of being together. His head was buried in the crook of her neck and she could feel his breath against her neck as she held onto to him. She ran her hands through his hair and down his bare back as he lay on top of her. Patrick pulled back and rested on his elbows to look at her. He leaned down and kissed her once more. "Are you ok?" He said to her. She smiled at him and nodded at him. Patrick moved to his side of the bed and gathered her into his arms. Sabrina moved even closer to Patrick as she wrapped her arms around him. Sleep overtook them and they rested peacefully within each other's embrace.
The following morning, Sabrina stirred as the sun peeked through the curtains. She hadn't felt this rested in such a long time. She thought about last night and she smiled. She reached over for him but only found an empty space. Suddenly, through the baby monitor, she could hear Patrick talking to their son. Sabrina giggled as she heard Samuel talk back to his dad in baby language. She went into the bathroom to get a robe. As she went to put it on, she noticed love marks on her neck from her and Patrick's night of passion. She blushed as she ran her hands over them. She went towards the nursery and heard Patrick tell their son a story about race cars. Patrick looked up and saw Sabrina. Seeing her standing there in the afterglow of their lovemaking made him lust for her. He had never felt as close as he did with her last night. "Sleep well?" He teased. Sabrina blushed and Patrick smirked triumphantly. He loved being able to ignite such reactions from her. "I did as a matter of fact. How about you?" She replied as she walked towards him and Samuel. Samuel smiled at Sabrina when he saw her. Patrick handed him to her and he squealed with happiness. "Good morning Samuel." She said softly. She gave her son a kiss on his forehead. "Does daddy get a kiss too and I slept wonderfully." Patrick whispered in her ear. Sabrina looked up at him and saw the lust in his eyes. She reached up and met his lips in searing kiss that left her mind to wonder. He pulled back and placed a kiss on her forehead. "To be continued." He said causing her to laugh. "I have to go into work today. Will you be all right?" He asked her. She nodded. "We'll be fine. Go get ready Dr. Drake." Sabrina replied. He kissed her once more before he left the room. Patrick woke Emma up for her day with Robin and Mac before he went to shower. Sophie woke up a while after and now Sabrina was currently feeding them as they sat in their high chairs. "Good morning Sabrina." Emma said as she came into the kitchen. "Good morning Emma. Did you have a good night sleep?" Sabrina said as she kissed Emma. "Yes I did. What about you?" Emma asked. Sabrina blushed. "Y-yes I slept great." Sabrina stammered. Emma greeted her baby brother and sister. "Do you want some breakfast before you leave Ems?" Sabrina asked. "No thanks Sabrina, mommy and Uncle Mac are taking me to Kelly's for breakfast." Emma said. Patrick came out dressed for work and smiled when he saw his family. "Are you ready to go Ems?" Patrick asked his daughter. He grabbed his work bag. "Yes daddy." Emma said excitedly. "Ok let's go sweetheart." He said to her. Emma grabbed her bag and went to kiss Sabrina, Sophie, and Samuel goodbye. "I call you later Sabrina." Emma said. "Ok sweetie. Love you." Sabrina replied. "Love you guys too." She said back. Patrick leaned down and kissed his daughter and son. "I'll see you later." He said when he reached Sabrina. She nodded. "Have a good day at work. I'll talk to you soon." Sabrina said. He kissed her goodbye and left. After Sabrina fed herself and the twins, she went and got them cleaned up and changed. She had managed a quick shower herself while bathing the twins. After she and the twins were dressed, she placed them in their walkers and turned on the television to the baby channel. Just as she was about to sit down, she heard the doorbell ring. She was surprised to see Sonny staring back at her when she opened the door. "May I come in?" He asked. Sabrina couldn't say anything so she stepped aside. She noticed that Sonny had paused as he looked at the twins. "It's crazy you know, six months ago you were and Emma were kidnapped. I remember hearing about how they found the twins but not their mother and I felt sick to my stomach about it. I prayed for you to return home safely to your kids and now six months later, I find out that you're my daughter and it's a miracle." Sonny stated. Sabrina didn't say anything. "Do-do you mind if I meet them?" He asked unsurely. "Sure." She whispered. She led him to the living room and gestured for him to sit down. "This little one is Sophie Elise." She pointed to her daughter. Her black hair was combed neatly with a pink bow around her head that matched her pink dress. "She's beautiful just like her mother." Sonny complimented. "Thank you." Sabrina replied. "And this is Samuel Noah." Sabrina continued. Sonny smiled. "Again, he's beautiful like his mother but he's the spitting image of his father." Sonny said as he played with the twins. "How is Lily?" Sabrina suddenly asked. Sonny looked at her. "She's ok, Juan is with her. She misses you. She was hoping to spend some time with you and the kids but she gets it. You need to figure everything out." He replied. Sabrina nodded. "Yesterday was in intense for everyone involved. I wanted to let you and Juan reunite with Lily which is why I stayed quiet. I just want to say that if you agree, I want us to build a relationship as father and daughter. It pains me when I think about all the time we lost but we have right now. I love you so much already and I hope that you can find room in your heart to get to know me and vice versa." Sonny finished. Sabrina couldn't believe it. Sonny, her father wanted to get to know her. He loved her already even though he didn't know her. Sabrina sighed. "I would like to get to know you too but I can't pretend that I don't know what you do for a living and that I'm not scared to have you around my family." Sabrina admitted. Sonny nodded as he glanced at the twins and then back to her. "I understand. I can't pretend that my children have not been hurt in some way because of what I do but I would lay down my life for you and your children. All I'm asking for is a chance even if it means not being in their lives." He said. Sabrina couldn't help but feel sad about keeping him away from the kids. He was after all their grandfather. Sabrina knew that if she decided to have him in her life there was no way she could keep them away from him. Sabrina looked up at him. "Ok, we can get to know each other and then the kids gradually. We are family after all." Sabrina stated. Sonny smiled at her. They talked for a little while longer. Sonny suggested on having dinner at his house where he could introduce Sabrina to the rest of the family. Sabrina promised to think about it. "Thank you for not slamming the door in my face. It can't be easy finding out that you're my daughter." Sonny said before he left. "From what I've seen so far, you're not so bad." Sabrina smiled. Sonny nodded. "About Lily, give her a chance please. She's one of the best people I know Sabrina. Once you get to know her, you'll love her forever." Sonny said. Sabrina nodded. "I will." She said. "Ok." He said not wanting to push her. "I'll see you soon?" He asked her. "Yes, I'll see you soon." Sabrina promised. And then he left.
That evening, when Patrick came home she told him about her visit with Sonny and how she planned to meet with Lily soon. "Like I said before, I support you wanting to get to know your parents. Just keep your eyes open and be safe whenever you're around Sonny." Patrick said. "I will and thank you for being so understanding with all of this. I love you so much." She said to him. Patrick held her in his arms and said "I love you too. I only want your happiness and if getting to know your biological parents makes you happy then I support you all the way." Patrick responded. Sabrina leaned up and kissed him. He pulled back and leaned down and brushed her hair behind her ear and whispered "I look forward continuing where we left off this morning." He said as he left tiny kisses along her earlobe. Sabrina held onto him as she felt herself weaken under his touch and kisses. He continued. "I also think it's time for us to permanently move into one room wouldn't you agree? I don't think I would be able to sleep without you by my side ever again." Patrick said. Sabrina nearly became undone as she felt Patrick trail kisses down her neck. When he found her pulse point, he focused on that area and she whimpered when she felt him bite down on her skin gently. "I agree." She managed to reply to him. All of a sudden, they heard Patrick's cell phone ring and it brought them back to reality. Sabrina saw the fire in Patrick's eyes when they pulled apart. "To be continued." He reiterated the same phrase he used this morning.
