Always Gonna Be You
Nobody could understand why she would leave her wedding before it was finished…least of all, the man she was supposed to marry. There were days when she didn't even fully understand it herself…the only thing she did know was that when she had seen the daughter she thought was dead rushing into her wedding ceremony telling her that her father (And the man she herself had loved dearly) is on his deathbed and asking for her…she had to go…she couldn't explain it…she just had to. She had run from Duke without giving it…or him… a second thought…all she knew was that her Robert needed her…and that was all that mattered…
She was now sitting in a hospital bed, holding his hand with their daughter. He had saved her life…he had risked his life to save their daughter…every ugly thing she might have felt for him in the past just vanished then. He was still the same man she loved and cherished.
"Wake up Robert…damn it, you can't do this to me…not when we have so much to make up for…we all do."
"Wake up Daddy…I love you," Robin had said.
She paused as Robin kissed her father on the cheek…and then she said it…the words that would change everything…the words that would bring him back to all of them. She brushed her lips across his in a tender but passionate kiss and then she brushed them across his eyelids. "I love you Robert Scorpio…I always, have…and I always will…now wake up damn it…come back to me…"
His eyes began to flutter then and he choked out a weak phrase. "Well what took you so long?" Anna and Robin both laughed as they welcomed him back to life…and they welcomed their daughter. Months later, they would celebrate by getting married again…they would make love for the first time in more years then they could count…and they would rejoice when they added a new baby to the mix…a baby that Anna was convinced she was too old to have…but Robert was convinced was their blessing in disguise. Life didn't always make sense…but it made sense when hearts were finally where they belonged.
