Thank you to those to have reviewed/followed/favorited! I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I hope you enjoy the next chapter. I love getting reviews, so I hope you will consider leaving one. I don't own any rights to the show or characters, just my own stories.
Guest: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you are enjoying the story. I appreciate the compliment that I'm a good writer. Thanks so much!
Guest: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I thought I'd do something different with Sabrina's entrance instead of what the show did, meaning instead of her dropping her files, I'd have her lose her glasses. I'm glad you approved of the Patrick/Emma talk regarding Robin's accident.
NDHBFAN: Thanks for the review! It meant a lot that you're enjoying this story as well. I appreciate you commenting on it. I wasn't sure when to explain Robin's accident, but in the end, I felt it was better to do it at the beginning. Hope to hear more from you!

Lady Isadorra: Thanks for the review! It meant a lot that you enjoyed what you've read so far. I hope to hear from you again.
Mommyzilla: Thanks for the review! In the end, I figured it was best to explain what happened to Robin in the first chapter. I wasn't sure who to add in this story, but it felt right to add Epiphany and Elizabeth in this story being they interact with Sabrina and Patrick on the show. I'm debating whether to put more characters in this story or if the ones I've put in the story so far is enough. I'm thinking of putting in Felix being he's interacting a lot with Sabrina. We'll see.
Chapter 2
(After almost a week of training and orientation, Sabrina felt like she has everything mastered regarding knowing where everything is. Where the supply closet is at, all the rooms where the patients go when they're being treated for minor injuries, where patients stay when they have surgeries and need to stay for awhile to recuperate, and any other places Elizabeth felt Sabrina needs to know about. Sabrina and Elizabeth are currently at the Nurse's Station going through files and Elizabeth is teaching Sabrina a few tricks on entering data quicker on the computer to impress Epiphany. They laugh now and then when Sabrina makes a little mistake and she apologizes to Elizabeth, but Elizabeth reminds her that's how she learns is by making mistakes. Sabrina thanks Elizabeth for being so kind to her, but she tells her new friend that she makes it easy on her being she's a fast learner. Sabrina admits to Elizabeth that one thing she does need to work on is not running into people. Sabrina can't count how many times she's done that. Whether it's with other doctors, nurses, Epiphany, or Dr. Drake. Epiphany gets a little annoyed when Sabrina runs into her. Epiphany constantly tells her to slow down and quit going so fast. But what Sabrina doesn't know is every time Epiphany walks away, she chuckles to herself because while Sabrina may be a little bit of a klutz, she's a very hard worker. She's never said that to Sabrina because she wants her to think she's a toughie, but like Elizabeth privately told Sabrina, Epiphany is a softie even though she doesn't show it a lot. As for Patrick, he always thinks it's cute how Sabrina runs into things and feels bad for it. He knows she means well)
(When Patrick walks by the Nurse's Station and sees Sabrina and Elizabeth on the computer, he chuckles softly to himself at how cute Sabrina looked and noticed she wasn't wearing much makeup. He admired Sabrina for not wearing much makeup because usually female nurses and doctors like to wear makeup. In his opinion, women didn't need to wear makeup because it's like they were covering up their faces. He appreciated and liked it better when they were natural looking. He had nothing against women wearing makeup, but he personally preferred it when women didn't wear any. He admitted to himself he didn't mind them wearing lipstick because it made their lips stand out more. Robin didn't wear makeup much and Patrick loved that. He always told her he loved her no matter if she wore makeup or not but he privately smiled when she was natural looking. Robin did wear lipstick sometimes and Patrick admitted to her he was turned on by that. Robin laughed at that because she knew that meant her lips were impossible not to kiss. Of course, at work, they were always professional. Until they were alone, that is)
(Patrick couldn't help but smile at Sabrina. He stopped smiling and had a confused look on his face. He then looked mad and he knew why. He felt he was disrespecting Robin's memory by having somewhat happy thoughts about someone else. He walks to the break room where his locker is and opens it. He looks at the door part of the locker and sees a picture of Robin. One picture of where she and Patrick are smiling happily and the other one where it's them with Emma. He smiles a little at the pictures, but can't help but get sad at the memories behind the photos. He sniffles and wipes his nose a little)
Patrick: (sighs) "It shouldn't be this hard to move on. It's been six months since the accident." (sniffles) "We've always said if something happens to one of us, the other needs to move on…especially for Emma. But, how the hell am I supposed to move on when memories of you, of us as a family, keep flooding my mind and my heart? I-I can't move on, Robin." (scoffs lightly) "I don't know where you thought it'd be easy. It's not easy. I know it's been months since the funeral, but I…I can't live without you." (tears in his eyes) "Please tell me how to move on without you because I honestly don't know how."
(Patrick softly cries. He knows he shouldn't because he's at work, but he can't stop the tears. All of a sudden, he feels a hand on his shoulder. He jumps and turns around, wondering who's behind him)
Patrick: "S-Sabrina. H-Hey. What are you doing in here?"
Sabrina: "I-I-I'm sorry, Dr. Drake. I-I didn't know anyone was in here. I just came to get something from my locker."
Patrick: (nods) "O-Oh. Okay."
Sabrina: (shakes her head) "I'm sorry if I interrupted. When I came in, I thought I heard you crying." (sadly) "Are you okay, Dr. Drake?"
Patrick: (stutters) "Uh…I-I'm fine."
(Sabrina puts her hands up, then down in embarrassment)
Sabrina: "I'm-I'm so sorry, Dr. Drake. It's none of my business. I just hate seeing people cry. It makes me sad."
Patrick: (chuckles softly) "It's okay, Sabrina. If the roles were reversed, I'd probably wonder why you were crying, too." (shakes his head) "But, no, I'm fine."
(Patrick briefly looks at his locker door before looking back at Sabrina)
Patrick: "Just, uh, painful memories and happy memories. It's hard to forget them a lot of times, the painful ones, I mean."
Sabrina: (nods) "Yeah, I can understand that. I lost my mother at a young age and while I have many wonderful memories of her, it's hard to forget the sad ones."
Patrick: (chuckles softly) "Yeah, I hear ya. It sounds like you know what I'm going through, what I mean."
Sabrina: (sighs a little sadly) "I-I know we may not know each other that well, but I'm a good listener if you ever need to talk. If you choose not to open up, I understand." (smiles a little) "Just know the offer is always available."
Patrick: (smiles & nods) "Thank you, Sabrina. I appreciate that."
Sabrina: (smiles) "Anytime, Dr. Drake."
(After going to her locker to get what she needed, she walks to the door when Patrick's voice stops her)
Patrick: "Hey, Sabrina?"
(Sabrina turns around to face Patrick)
Patrick: (smiles) "You can call me Patrick."
Sabrina: (smiles) "Okay." (laughs a little) "Patrick."
Patrick: "Now, of course, while we're on the floor at work, Epiphany will expect you to call me Dr. Drake, but outside of work and when we're alone or it's just you, me, and Elizabeth, you can call me Patrick." (smiles) "Sound good?"
Sabrina: (nods happily) "Sounds perfect."
Patrick: (nods) "Okay."
(Sabrina leaves the room and Patrick turns around to face his locker again)
Patrick: (clears his throat) "I wish I knew what to do, Robin. I know you'd want me to move on but I just don't know with who." (shakes his head) "Doesn't matter anyway. I'm not ready. Maybe soon, but not right now." (sighs) "What do you think, Robin? Can you give me a sign? P-Please? Any sign?"
(All of a sudden, Patrick remembers the first time he met Sabrina and how he helped her off the floor when she fell down after bumping into him and he gave her red glasses to her. Patrick laughs a little at that memory and how sweet Sabrina was and how she was apologetic for running into him, but he said no apologies were necessary. Patrick then closes his locker and gathers himself together before leaving the break room where the lockers are at. He walks to the Nurse's Station where he sees Elizabeth and Sabrina continuing their work on the computer. Elizabeth looks away from the computer and sees Patrick looking a little sad)
Liz: (concerned) "Are you okay, Patrick?"
(Patrick looks at Sabrina, who's busily working on the computer, and smiles a little)
Patrick: (nods) "Yeah, I'm fine. Or at least, I will be."
Liz: (looks at him curiously) "Okay. Well, I'm glad to hear it."
Patrick: (nods) "Well, I'm gonna finish my rounds."
(Elizabeth nods in repliance. Patrick looks at Sabrina once more and smiles a little before walking away to finish his rounds)
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I apologize for the shortness of the chapter. I meant for it to be longer and planned on adding other things in it, but decided to wait and stick with what was written. I love hearing your thoughts, so I'm hoping you'll leave a review. Thank you. Until next time!
