I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I apologize if I confused any of you with the story details so far. I've gotten a few reviews on Britt possibly appearing and causing trouble between Patrina. As of right now, I'm not planning on having Britt in my story. My story is slightly AH. Yes, Robin died in this story like on the show, but under different circumstances. If enough of you request Britt in this story, I will consider putting her in. I can't promise you she'll be in it, but I want to make my readers happy, so we'll see how it goes. If you ever have any questions, please ask and I will answer them. I don't own any rights to the show or characters, just my own stories.

Mommyzilla: Thanks for the review! Patrina are finding out that they have things in common, yes. I hope you enjoy the next chapter as well. Our couple will open up more about their past losses. The next two chapters will involve this.

Guest: Thanks for the review!

MackenzieH: Thanks for the review! Right now, the trouble for our possible couple is moving on from their respective losses. They will each open up about their losses. As of right now, I'm not planning on having Britt in this story as this is a slightly AH. Yes, Robin died like on the show even though she died different than what showed on the show. I don't know Sabrina's history on the show, so I'm making up my own. As for Emma, even though she's grieving for her mom, we will start to see her turn to Sabrina for comfort. Hope to hear more from you!

Didi6: Thanks for the review! Glad you're enjoying it!

Chapter 5

(Patrick and Emma are watching '101 Dalmations'' in the living room. He had the day off so he thought he'd do some cleaning while Emma was in school. He let her take the bus home today so she could visit with her friends after school got out. When Patrick works, he has a babysitter for Emma so she has someone when she gets done with school. Sometimes Emma requested Patrick pick her up on his days off as she missed her daddy, but for the most part, she rode home on the bus. Some kids would bring up her mom and ask why she doesn't pick up Emma or why they never see her. Emma gets sad for a minute, but then remembers what her daddy says, that Robin is watching her from heaven and is with her in spirit. The kids seem satisfied with that, so they drop it and talk about other things. When Emma gets home after being dropped off by the bus, she is pleasantly surprised to see Patrick sitting on the front steps. She runs to her daddy and jumps into his arms, receiving a very warm hug and a kiss on the cheek)

Patrick: "Hi, sweetie."

Emma: (giggles) "Hi, daddy."

Patrick: "Did you have a good day at school?"

Emma: (nods) "Yes." (smiles proudly) "I won an award for best listener and for answering the most questions."

Patrick: (smiles) "You did, huh?"

(Emma nods as she takes her backpack off her shoulders and pulls out the paper award that was in a book so it didn't get wrecked and shows it to her father. As he's admiring it, he smiles proudly)

Patrick: "I'm so proud of you, pumpkin. Your teacher also wrote a little note that said 'great job'."

Emma: (laughs) "It made me feel good when she wrote that." (shyly) "I wasn't sure if I would get made fun of because of it."

(Patrick puts down the paper award and looks at his daughter with a concerned look)

Patrick: "Why would you say that? Emma, have you been getting teased at school?"

Emma: (shakes her head) "No. But some of the kids give me looks because the teacher gives me compliments on how good I do during class and they feel the teacher doesn't do the same."

Patrick: (sighs) "Honey, it's not your fault that you're doing well in school. I'm sure the teacher is complimenting the other kids, too. Have you told your teacher this?"

Emma: (nods) "Yes."

Patrick: (nods) "Okay, and what'd she say?"

Emma: "She told me I was doing just fine and told the other kids that they're doing good as well and that she always gives compliments when someone is doing well."

Patrick: (smiles a little) "See? I'm sure the teacher is doing her best to give compliments to all the kids."

Emma: (shrugs) "Yeah, I know."

Patrick: "Okay, how about we go inside and have a snack." (smirks) "Guess what I have?"

Emma: (confused) "What?"

Patrick: (smiles) "What's your favorite snack?"

Emma: "Ice cream with sprinkles."

(When Patrick smiles and raises his eyebrows, Emma's face lights up)

Emma: "It's in the freezer?"

Patrick: (smiles & nods) "Yes, it is. You can have a little bit before your favorite meal."

Emma: (smiles wide) "Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches?"

Patrick: (laughs) "Yep!"

(Emma gives Patrick a big hug before they head inside. Patrick gives Emma a small bowl of ice cream and sprinkles while she continues to watch her movie. Just then, there's a knock at the door. Patrick has a confused look on his face as he goes to the door and opens it, revealing Sabrina)

Patrick: "Sabrina. Hey. What are you doing here?"

(Patrick realizes he was a little rude and shakes his head and chuckles nervously)

Patrick: "Please forgive me. I-I just didn't know you were coming here."

Sabrina: (shakes her head & chuckles nervously) "No, I'm sorry. Epiphany was going to call you and have you come down to the hospital but I just got off of work so I offered to come to deliver her message."

Patrick: (puzzled) "M-Message? Wh-What message? I-I' m sorry, I'm just a little confused."

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "No, I completely understand. I apologize for showing up unannounced. Epiphany gave me your address but for some reason not your house phone."

Patrick: "That's okay."

(Patrick lets her come in. Emma looks to see who came and a smile spreads across her face)

Emma: "Hi, Sabrina."

(Sabrina smiles at Emma)

Sabrina: "Hi, Emma. Whatcha watching?"

Emma: "'101 Dalmations'."

(Patrick closes the door)

Patrick: "It's one of her favorite movies."

(Sabrina looks at Patrick and then back at Emma)

Sabrina: "Really?" (smiles a little) "Well, it is a good movie."

Emma: "Wanna watch it with us?"

Patrick: "Baby, I'm sure Sabrina has plans for tonight and we don't want to keep her, now do we?"

Emma: (shakes her head) "No."

Patrick: (to Sabrina) "Let's go in the kitchen so we have more privacy."

Sabrina: (nods) "Okay."

(Patrick leads Sabrina to the kitchen where they both sit down)

Patrick: "Okay, what did Epiphany want you to tell me?"

Sabrina: "W-Well, like I said, she was gonna call you when I offered to drop it off being I just got done with my shift."

Patrick: (puzzled) "Drop what off?"

(Sabrina digs into her bad and gets out a few pieces of paper and hands it to Patrick)

Sabrina: "Epiphany said something about how the next schedule wasn't out yet because she was having trouble with it. She finally finished it today and she knew you wanted it so you know what hours and days you work."

(Patrick looks at his schedule before looking at Sabrina again)

Patrick: "Sabrina, I-I appreciate you coming here to give me this, but you didn't need to. It's not your responsibility to deliver things. Epiphany should have called me."

(Sabrina places her hand on Patrick's, as if reassuring him)

Sabrina: "Trust me, I didn't mind." (blushes nervously) "If I were honest with myself and you, I was looking forward to seeing you and Emma again." (smiles) "I can never get enough of that little girl and after our last talk at the hospital, I-I thought you could use a friend." (apologically) "Unless I'm mistaken…and if I am, I apologize and I'll go."

(As Sabrina gets up from her chair and begins walking out of the kitchen, Patrick gets up and gently grabs her hand)

Patrick: "No, it's okay. I don't mind you being here."

(Sabrina looks at Patrick nervously)

Sabrina: "A-Are you sure? Because if I came at a bad time…"

Patrick: (shakes his head) "No, you're fine." (smiles briefly) "It's actually kind of nice with you here."

Sabrina: (raises her eyebrows) "R-Really?"

Patrick: (nods) "Yeah. To be honest, I enjoy your company and Emma likes you. I-If you want, I'd like you to stay." (shakes his head) "Unless you have other plans?"

Sabrina: (chuckles nervously) "The only plans I had was making a TV dinner and watching 'Pretty Little Liars', but I'm also taping it."

Patrick: "Well, we're not doing much, but if you wanna watch '101 Dalmations' with us, you can. As for supper, I'm making grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup as it's Emma's favorite." (shrugs) "I-I know it's not much, but you're welcome to join us if you want." (chuckles a little) "As long as it's okay with Emma, of course." (briefly points at Sabrina) "Hold that thought."

(Patrick goes into the living room)

Patrick: "Hey, honey bunny?"

(Emma turns to face Patrick)

Emma: "Yes, daddy?"

Patrick: "Would you mind some company for supper?"

Emma: (confused) "Who?"

Patrick: "Sabrina. If you prefer it to be just you and me, that's fine. She doesn't have to stay."

Emma: (smiles) "Sabrina can stay." (tilts her head) "Do you think she'll wanna play dolls with me?"

Patrick: (smiles) "I'm sure if you ask her nicely, she will."

Emma: "Okay." (smiles) "She's nice. I like her."

Patrick: (smiles) "Me, too, sweet girl."

(As Emma goes back to her movie, Patrick goes back in the kitchen and looks at Sabrina and can't help but smile at her)

Patrick: "Emma not only invited you to stay for supper, but she said she liked you as well. In fact, she'll be asking you later if you want to play dolls."

Sabrina: (smiles) "Well, I'm glad because I like her, too. She puts a smile on my face. As for the dolls, I would love to play dolls with her."

Patrick: "Yeah, she puts a smile on my face as well. And I'm sure she'll love playing dolls, as well."

(Patrick briefly looks down and deeply sighs before looking back at Sabrina)

Patrick: "I never thought it was possible, but I guess it is."

Sabrina: (confused) "What do you mean?"

Patrick: "After Robin died, I didn't think I could go on. I mean, I thought I would've had to force myself because I had Emma and she needed me. But now, I'm slowly learning that it's okay to be happy again." (puzzled) "Is that weird?"

Sabrina: (shakes her head) "No, not at all. When Robin died, you needed time to grieve…both you and Emma did. But it looks like Emma is slowly moving on as well." (smile a little) "Just like you." (nods) "Every person is different. Everyone grieves at their own pace."

Patrick: (chuckles softly) "You seem to know a lot about that." (sympathetically) "I'm guessing because of your mom?"

Sabrina: (nods) "Yeah." (nervously) "You probably don't want to hear about it."

(Patrick walks a few steps toward her)

Patrick: "Actually, I'd like to." (shakes his head) "I-I mean, if you're willing to discuss it, I don't mind hearing it."

Sabrina: (smiles a little) "To be honest, I was hoping you would say that."

Patrick: "After you tell me about your mom, I can tell you about Robin." (scoffs lightly) "If I don't bore you with it, that is."

Sabrina: (smiles a little) "I would love to hear about Robin. Besides, I know it's always easier to talk about it with a friend. I consider you a friend."

Patrick: (smiles & nods) "I consider you one as well."

(Patrick pulls up a chair for Sabrina and then pulls one for himself. They look at each other before they begin talking)

The next chapter will show Patrick and Sabrina go into more detail about their respective losses. This chapter was just a little preview. After the next chapter, I won't be able to write anymore as I don't have any more ideas. I will write more when I have something to write. I don't want to bore you with a chapter if I feel you won't like it. If you have any ideas for me, I'm all ears. Leave them in a review. Thanks. Thank you for the reviews/follows/favorites! Until next time!
