Finding My Way

Sonny is married to Carly. Jax is married to Skye. Alexis is still dancing around Ned. Liz and Lucky are attempting to rekindle their friendship. Jason is married to Brenda to help her with her illness. He and Liz are pretty much through. Jason is developing some feelings for Courtney. Courtney and AJ are still married. She found out about the stalking and is attempting to understand why. Robin is happy in Paris doing her 2nd year internship at the local hospital. Life is good for Robin since Anna's been back. Robin doesn't quite know how she feels about David Hayward, Anna's husband. But Robin understands it's her mom's heart. But Robin is very excited about her future brother or sister.

Setting: Robin's flat in Paris

The phone rings a second time. Robin runs for the phone in the living room from the bathroom

Robin: Bonjour (a little breathless)

Anna: Robin? Are you alright? Why are you breathing like that? (with worry in her voice)

Robin: Mom, I'm fine. I just ran out from the bathroom. Isn't a little late for you to be calling me?

Anna: I guess it is. But I wanted to catch you before you head to the hospital.

Robin: Mom? (reacts to Anna's awkward tone)

Anna: I'm fine, Luv. I need to get away from Pine Valley for a while.

Robin: Why? Are you OK? Are you in danger? I knew it was too soon for you to tackle the chief of police job (rushing her sentences through)

Anna: Honey, no, it's nothing like that. I'm having some problem with David. I just need to get away and think.

Robin: Thank goodness (sighs a relief). What kind of problem?

Setting: A week later at Kelly's.

Jason: Do you want something?

Brenda: Coffee (Courtney walks over to their table. Brenda notices the 2nd look that Courtney gives to Jason)

Jason: 2 black coffees, please.

Courtney: I'll bring it right over (walks away)

Brenda: What's the deal with you and her?

Jason: (with a stoic look) None of your business?

Brenda: Defensive, aren't we? Married less than a month and already planning to cheat on me?

Jason: You don't know what you're talking about, as usual! (The door opens and in walks Jax and Skye. Brenda turns around and sees Jax. Jax gives her a smile and goes to a corner table with Skye)

Skye: (notices Jax looking at Brenda) Isn't that cute? The newlyweds are out and about.

Jax: Yeah, I guess so. Will you excuse me for a minute?

Skye: (with a frown on her face) Honey, where are you going? We just got here.

Jax: I'm just going to go over and say hello. Why don't you order for us?

Skye: (disappointed but smiles) Muffins, Ok with you?

Jax: Fine (gets up and walks toward Jason and Brenda's table) Brenda, Morgan.

Jason: Jax

Brenda: Hi, you're looking good. How's therapy?

Jax: Not as fun as it used to be (flashes Brenda a smile)

Brenda: Yeah, well. Other duties call.

Jax: Well, I just came over to say hello. I don't want to interrupt your breakfast.

Brenda: OK. See you later?

Jax: Yes (walks back towards Skye's table)

Jason: I thought you wanted to get away from him.

Brenda: I don't want him to see me when my conditions start.

Jason: Then why don't you make a break?

Brenda: (angry) Why don't you mind your own business? Are you ready?

Jason: Yeah (throws some money on the table and walks out with Brenda. He turns around one last time and sees Courtney looking at him. He smiles at her and walks away)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny is trying to put on his jacket as he's walking towards the front door.

Carly: Sneaking out to see her?

Sonny: Who am I sneaking out to see?

Carly: Are you going to lie to me?

Sonny: I don't know what you're talking about.

Carly: I thought you said our marriage is important to you?

Sonny: Are you going to question me every time I walk out of the front door?

Carly: What do you expect from me Sonny? Sit at home and wait for you?

Sonny: I expect you to trust our marriage and me. I can't keep doing this.

Carly: I trust you. I just don't trust her.

Sonny: Then she wins, Carly (walks out of the penthouse leaving Carly behind. Carly throws a glass at the door. She reaches for the phone.)

Carly: I need you here (hangs up)

A while later, Jason walks into Sonny's penthouse. He finds Carly sitting on the couch mad but crying.

Jason: What's the emergency?

Carly: When are you taking her away?

Jason: That's the emergency? I do have a life outside of you Carly. What's the problem?

Carly: It's Sonny. I'm losing him to her. I can feel him slipping away from me. I don't know what to do (crying)

Jason: You're not losing Sonny. He loves you.

Carly: But he loves her too (crying harder).

Jason: You're not losing Sonny to Brenda. Not if I can help it. Look, I'm taking Brenda away after the Quatermaine party. Can you hang on until then?

Carly: (stops crying, a little happier). You are? Thank you, Jason. (Hugs Jason)

Setting: On the docks later that day.

Jax: (seeing Brenda looking out at the water) Hi.

Brenda: What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home with Skye?

Jax: She's at home packing for our honeymoon.

Brenda: Then I probably won't be here when you get back.

Jax: Why?

Brenda: Jason is taking me away after the Quatermaine party.

Jax: How long will you be gone?

Brenda: I don't know. For good.

Jax: Don't Brenda. Stay here. Let me help you.

Brenda. I can't Jax.

Jax: Yes you can. You helped me at my worst. Why won't you let me be there for you?

Brenda: I don't want you to see me like that.

Jax: Brenda...no one leaves.

Brenda: You're married. You love Skye. You don't need me here. You need to concentrate on your future.

Jax: That doesn't mean I have to leave you out in the cold. Please reconsider.

Brenda: I don't know. I'll see you. (She walks away)

Anna: It's too much to get into over the phone. I was planning on visiting Mac and Felicia.

Robin: That would be great. He would love to see you. I feel so guilty about not telling him about you in person.

Anna: I'm sure he understands, honey. Anyway, I was planning on going there next week. Why don't you meet me there?

Robin: (silent for a couple of seconds) Port Charles? I don't know Mom. I haven't been back for 4 years.

Anna: I think its time, honey. You're a different person now.

Robin: Yes, I am. But I don't know if I want to get involve again. I'm happy and healthy here.

Anna: Yes, you are. You're going back to Port Charles for yourself. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. Port Charles is your home.

Robin: I need to think about it Mom.

Anna: OK, why don't you that. I'm still going to go. I need to see Mac. I've missed him so much. Why don't you call me later and let me know what you decide.

Robin: I'll do that. Thank you Mom. I love you.

Anna: I love you too. Bye Luv.

Robin: Bye (hangs up the phone. Robin's goes to sit on the couch. She looks at Stone's ring on her finger. I am a different person now. I don't need anyone to make me happy. I have my health, my family, and my career. No one can take that away.

Setting: Mac's house.

Mac: (opens the front door) ANNA! (hugs her tightly)

Anna: Hi Mac. I've missed you (Mac leads her into the living room)

Mac: You look good. How are you doing?

Anna: I'm fine. I feel guilty not coming to see you earlier.

Mac: Don't. I know you have a lot on your plate. You don't owe me anything. Can I get you something to drink?

Anna: No, I'm fine. Where's Felicia?

Mac: She and the girls live at the Brownstone now.

Anna: I'm sorry. How are you doing?

Mac: I'm getting there. It was hard for a while. But we got past it. We're still friends. The girls are still important to me.

Anna: You don't mind me staying here?

Mac: Are you kidding? It's so quiet here it's like a morgue. I'm happy for the company.

Anna: Thank you. I need to decide on what to do. I couldn't in Pine Valley.

Mac: What do you need to decide?

Anna: David, my husband. My unborn child.

Mac: You're pregnant?

Anna: Robin didn't tell you?

Mac: No. I guess congratulations are in order. What problems are you having with David?

Anna: He led us all to believe that Maria Grey was dead. But she wasn't. She was under his care. He kept a mother away from her children. I don't know how to handle that. I missed 9 years of Robin's life. 9 years I would do anything for. How do I get pass that?

Mac: Did he have an explanation?

Anna: He said he didn't know. He was protecting her. She doesn't have any memory of her life as Maria Grey. She goes by Maureen Green now.

Mac: It's a tough situation for you. But Anna, David didn't keep Robin away from you.

Anna: I know that. I just don't know him. There are so many unanswered questions.

Mac: Well, you're not going to get the answers today. Stay as long as you need. This is your home.

Anna: Thank you, Mac.

Mac: You don't have to thank me. I'll let you get settle. Use any of the spare room you want. I'm going to run to the station for a couple of hours. This whole Luis Alcazar thing is out of control. You want to go the Grille when I get back?

Anna: I would like that. Is there anything I can help you with?

Mac: How about we discuss over dinner? (gets up towards the front door) How's Robin?

Anna: She's fine. I suggested she meet me here. But she had to think about it.

Mac: I miss her. OK, I'll see you later.

Setting: Later that night at The Grille.

Anna and Mac had just been seated at their table. They gave the waiter their drink orders.

Anna: This place is different.

Mac: I don't come here that often. But tonight is a special occasion.

Anna: Yes it is. So tell me about this Luis Alcazar.

Mac: Anna, you're supposed to be relaxing. Not helping solve Port Charles crimes.

Anna: I am relaxed. Besides it helps to focus on something else.

Mac: It's a mess. Supposedly, Luis Alcazar has been hiding Brenda...

Anna: (interrupts Mac) Robin's Brenda?

Mac: Yes. Anyway, he decided he wanted to keep Brenda to himself so he went to try to eliminate Sonny and Jax.

Anna: Why?

Mac: Brenda's car went off of a cliff several years ago. We couldn't find her. So, we assumed she was dead. Apparently, Luis rescued her. He helped with her recovery. Brenda didn't want to come back to Port Charles because she had her mother's disease. She didn't want the people she loved to see her when her symptoms displayed. So, she stayed with Luis.

Anna: That's weird. Robin talks about her but not in "dead" sense of way.

Mac: Brenda was in Paris. She might have contacted Robin. They're practically sisters.

Anna: That must be it. So Luis tried to kill Sonny and Jax to keep Brenda?

Mac: Yeah, something like that. Everyone thought he was successful in killing Sonny. But Sonny faked his death. Luis then went after Jax. Jason, Sonny, and Brenda tried to stop him but unsuccessful. Jax was shot. Not dead but fatal. They weren't sure for a while if he could walk again.

Anna: I can't believe this. Does Robin know any of this? I know she is still very close to Jax.

Mac: I don't think so. I don't talk to her about anyone in Port Charles. I don't think she even know that Jax married Skye.

Anna: Maybe it's better that she's not here. She doesn't need this in her life.

Mac: I agree but one thing I know about Robin. She'll want to know. She doesn't like to be kept in the dark about her love ones.

Anna: I'll tell her when I talk to her (Anna is worried on how Robin is going to react to this)

Alan: Anna?

Anna: ALAN! (she gets up to hug him)How are you?

Alan: I'm fine. How are you? Hi Mac.

Mac: Hi Alan.

Anna: I'm fine. I owe you a great debt of gratitude.

Alan: For what?

Anna: For Robin. I know how much you've helped her.

Alan: It is not necessary. It's an honor to work with Robin. How is she?

Anna: She's great. She's in her second year internship at the hospital. She's looking to find a hospital that specializes in brain research and development. Her advisor said she's more than ready to apply for residency.

Alan: Neurosurgeon. I thought pediatrics was her heart.

Anna: It's just too painful for her. Besides, she's neurosurgeon material.

Alan: Oh, I don't doubt that. If only her brain could be duplicated and replicated. You know, General Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the world that deal with brain trauma. Monica is one of the best.

Anna: I don't know if she's thought of it. I'll mention it to her.

Alan: You might want to come by the house. Lila and Edward would love to see you. So would Monica. There's a little party tomorrow night. Would don't you and Mac stop by?

Anna: Mac, what do you think?

Mac: I gamed if you are.

Anna: Alright. We'll see you tomorrow. Don't tell Lila. I want to surprise her.

Alan: That's great. I'll let you get back to your dinner. Bye.

Anna & Mac: Bye Alan.

Anna: He hasn't changed.

Mac: He had it rough a couple of years ago. But I can't fault him. He's been great to Robin.

Anna: Are you sure you're up for a party tomorrow?

Mac: Yeah. It'll be good to get out. (They go back to eating their dinner).

Setting: Next day at Sonny's penthouse.

Sonny: Are you sure you want to go to this thing?

Carly: We're there to support Jason. Besides, I think Courtney said she was going to be there.

Sonny: After what AJ did, she still wants to be around him?

Carly: She'll learn soon that he's worthless. You need to try harder to be her brother.

Sonny: I just can't stand him...Let's go. (They head out of the penthouse)

Setting: The Quatermaine's living room.

The living room is beautifully decorated with flowers, champagne and food. There's a banner that said "To the newlyweds, Brenda & Jason" hanging above the doors to the terrace. Skye, Jax, Courtney, and AJ are in the corner sipping champagne and talking. Ned and Alexis are with Lila and Edward discussing names for the baby. Sonny and Carly are in the corner by themselves, looking very uncomfortable.

Reginald: Mr. and Mrs. Jason Morgan (everyone turns toward Jason and Brenda)

Brenda: Hi everyone (Jason looks at his surroundings. He makes his way toward Sonny and Carly. Brenda goes to give Lila and Edward hugs)

Jason: Thank you for coming. I don't know if I can make it through the night without you here.

Sonny. No problem, buddy.

Alan: Hi everyone. Sorry we're late.

Brenda: You're doctors. You're allowed to be late.

Monica: (looks around the room and sees everyone) I see everyone made it.

Brenda: Is it great? (sipping her champagne and looking at Jax)

Alan: Wonderful. This night is going to be something.

Monica: What are you talking about, Alan?

Reginald: Mr. Mac Scorpio and Mrs. Anna Scorpio (everyone in the room quiet downs and stare at Anna.

Anna: Hello everyone.

Edward: Anna? What are you doing here? Why are you here? When did you get here?

Lila: Edward. Stop with your questions. Give her a chance to answer.

Anna: (goes to hug Lila) Hello Lila. To answer your questions Edward, I arrived last night. I wanted to spend some time getting to know my family and friends again.

Lila: That's wonderful, dear. How long will you stay in Port Charles?

Anna: I don't know.

Edward: I'm glad you're here. This town needs you back here. Crime is at an all time high (looks over at Sonny and Jason). No offense to you Mac.

Mac: None taken, Edward.

Anna: I'm not here to work. Mac is the commissioner. He's the best.

Monica: You knew didn't you, Alan?

Alan: I ran into Mac and Anna at the Grille last night. I invited them over.

Monica: Thank you.

Jax: Hi Anna. (he slowly walks over to Anna)

Anna: Oh Jax. You're walking. That's fantastic.

Jax: I'm getting there. Will you be staying at Mac?

Anna: Yes. Why don't you drop by so we can talk?

Jax: I'll do that tomorrow.

Jason: I can't believe she's alive (He can't take his eyes off of Anna. She's so beautiful and elegant. She reminds him of Robin)

Sonny: I can't either. How does Jax know her?

Carly: So we have the Saint's mother. Great.

Sonny: Don't start Carly.

Carly: What?! (looking annoyed at being ignored by Sonny and Jason)

Brenda: Hi Anna. I'm Brenda.

Anna: Hello Brenda. It's nice to finally meet you.

Brenda: How's Robin?

Anna: She's fine. Who are these people, Mac? I recognize some but not most.

Mac: Let me introduce you (leads Anna to Jax, Skye, AJ, & Courtney) Anna, this is Skye, Jax's new wife. I'm sure you remember AJ and this is his wife, Courtney.

Anna: AJ, you've grown into quite a man.

AJ: Thank you Anna. I'm a better man with Courtney.

Courtney: Hi Anna.

Anna: Hello. Jax, your new wife is beautiful. Skye, you're Alan's daughter?

Skye: Yes, I am. Your daughter is quite a woman from what I hear from Jax.

Anna: Yes, she definitely is. I'll see you all later (walks with Mac toward Ned and Alexis)

Mac: Anna, you know Ned. And this is Alexis Davis.

Ned: Hello Anna. You look wonderful.

Anna: Thank you. Your name sounds familiar Alexis. Do I know you from somewhere?

Alexis: Relation with the Cassadines.

Anna: Aah...the connection. It's nice to meet you. I hear you're a wiz with the law.

Alexis: I guess you can say that.

Mac: That over there is Sonny Corinthos, Carly Roberts, and Jason Morgan...used to be Jason Quatermaine.

Anna: That's why he looks familiar. Sonny is our local mob head and his wife?

Carly: What? Mac doesn't think we're good enough to introduce Saint's mom to? (notices Mac and Anna looking in their direction.

Sonny: Carly, he has reasons not to.

Brenda: Is it she beautiful? (looking at Jason, Sonny, and Carly)

Sonny: She is that.

Carly: Whatever.

Brenda: Jealous, Carly?

Carly: Shut up.

Brenda: You wish I would. (Jason holds Brenda next to him)

Reginald: Ms. Emily Quatermaine and Mrs. Robin Scorpio Cates. (everyone in the room stopped and looked and Emily and Robin. Emily looks beautiful in a purple fitted dress with her hair flowing at the shoulder. Robin in a savvy tailored pants suit with her hair in an elegant chignon bun. Everyone is speechless)

Emily: I don't think that was necessary Reginald (laughing and holding on Robin's hand)

Reginald: I know. I just wanted to see their expressions.

Monica: Emily! Robin! What a surprise?

Anna: Robin? (Everyone started asking questions at the same time)

Emily: Wait. (Holds out her hand to signal everyone to stop) Do you want to tell?

Robin: (smiles at Emily) I was going to call you Mom and let you know I was going to come home. But then Emily called and said she really wanted to see Alan and Monica. So we decided to come home together.

Anna: I'm glad you're here (goes to hug Robin first and then Emily) How are you feeling, Emily?

Emily: I am lot better now that I'm here.

Monica: We would have come to get you Emily.

Emily: I know. But I wanted to surprise you. Look how far I've progressed.

Alan: Sweetheart, we're so proud of you.

Emily: Well, I couldn't have done it without Robin.

Robin: I don't deserve any credit.

Emily: Yes, you do. If it weren't for you, I would have given up. I wouldn't be able to walk now.

Monica: Thank you Robin (hugs Robin and Emily)

Carly: (stomping towards Robin and Emily) How dare you show your face here? Didn't you do enough the last time you were here?

Sonny: Carly

Robin: (looking at Carly uninterested) Why would you think I answer you?

Anna: How dare you talk to my daughter like that? Who are you?

Carly: I can talk to her anyway I want. She caused enough trouble when she was here last.

Robin: Mom, don't bother. Not worth your time or effort.

Brenda: (finally making her way towards Robin) Robin? (crushes Robin in a hug)

Robin: Hi! I didn't know you were going to be here? (looking questionably at Brenda)

Brenda: It's a long story. I'll tell you about it. You look good.

Robin: So do you (she notices Jax leaning on a cane. With a questioned look on her face, she walks toward Jax) Jax? Why are you with a cane?

Jax: That is also a long story. You look beautiful. How are you? (gives her a hug)

Robin: (releases Jax) I'm fine. I want to hear this story.

Jax: Not now. Tomorrow?

Robin: Fine. Hi AJ.

AJ: Hi Robin (gives her a hug) This is my wife Courtney.

Robin: Your wife? I didn't know. Congratulations. Hi Courtney. I'm Robin.

Courtney: It's nice to meet you.

AJ: We have to get together and...

Carly: (cuts AJ off) and what? Plan another attack to take Michael away from me?

AJ: What? (looking at Carly, puzzled)

Carly: Now you're best friends? Did you forget what she did?

Sonny: Carly, that is enough.

Carly: What? I can't speak the truth because the Saint is in the same room? Did you all forget?

Robin: Enough! (with an tired expression) I'm tired to this discussion. I will say this once and it will be the last time that I discuss this subject with anyone. AJ, I'm sorry for lying to you about Michael. I thought I was protecting my love for Jason by lying to you. I was wrong. Sonny and Jason, I'm sorry that I'm not the person that you wanted or needed. And Carly, I don't owe you a damned thing. If you had been honest, I wouldn't have had to be.

Sonny: Sweetheart.

Jason: Robin, we need to talk.

Robin: (looking at Sonny and Jason) This is over (turn and walk away from everyone toward Mac) Hi Uncle Mac.

Mac: Hi. You handled that beautifully. I'm glad you're home.

Robin: I am to. Do you mind if I stay at my old room?

Mac: Of course not. It's your home. Are you ready to go?

Robin: Yes, I am. Let me say goodbye to Emily, Alan, and Monica.

Mac: Your mom and I will wait outside for you.

Robin: (Emily, Alan and Monica were standing by the terrace door as Robin was walking towards them. Robin finally notices the sign above. She stopped. She looks at Brenda and Jason with an anguish look. She continued toward Emily) I'm going to head out with my uncle and mom.

Alan: I'm sorry about what happened, Robin.

Robin: Don't be. Thank you Alan and Monica. I'll see you later. Emily, I'll call you later? (she hugs Emily)

Emily: Thank you for being here for me. (Robin turns to leave. Brenda and Jason make their way towards Robin)

Brenda: Robin, let us explain.

Robin: None is required. Congratulations to you.

Jason: Robin (Robin finally looks at Jason. He seems so different yet so familiar. He looks sad and guilty or something. Whatever Robin. You don't know him anymore)

Robin: I have to go. My family is waiting. Call me Brenda.

Brenda: I will sweetie (hugs Robin and opens the door for her) I can't believe I did this to her. What was I thinking (walking around the foyer, rubbing her head) She's my sister, for God's sake.

Jason: Brenda, stop.

Brenda: I've got to get out of here. I need a walk. I need some air (still walking around in circles)

Jason: You want me to go with you?

Brenda: No, no (walks off)

Courtney: Jason, are you alright? (she touches Jason's arm)

Jason: Courtney...I'm fine. What are you doing here?

Courtney: I was worried about you. Why did your marriage had such an affect on Robin?

Jason: I don't want to talk about it. Why are you here with AJ?

Courtney: He's my husband. I need to try to make it work.

Jason: After all that's happened?

Courtney: I want to believe in love. Don't you?

Jason: But Courtney- (he reaches for Courtney just as AJ opens the door)

AJ: Courtney, are you ready to go? (notices Jason's arms around Courtney) What's going on here?

Courtney: Nothing AJ. I'm ready. Let's go (she looks at Jason again and then leaves with AJ)

Setting: Outside in the garden.

Jax: Brenda, are you alright?

Brenda: (wipes at her tears) Yes, I'm fine.

Jax: Don't lie. Tell me.

Brenda: Did you see Robin's face? It had so much anguish and pain. I caused that. I caused my little sister pain. What was I thinking?

Jax: Don't be too hard on yourself. She didn't know. It took her by surprise. You just need to explain it to her.

Brenda: Jax...I don't know if I can. I'm married to her Jason. Her Jason. The love of her life.

Jax: No. He was. She doesn't love him anymore. She doesn't know him anymore. She is so much better without him.

Brenda: I don't know. I hope you're right.

Jax: Are you still leaving?

Brenda: I don't think I can. I need to see Robin and explain.

Jax: We both have a lot of explaining to do.

Brenda: I'm sad and happy that Robin is here. I've missed her.

Jax: I know you do. Why don't you spend some time with her before you leave?

Brenda: I'll do that. Thank you Jax. What about you?

Jax: I like to spend some time with Anna and Robin. I have to talk to Skye.

Setting: Inside the Quatermaine's house.

Jason: Emily, how are you?

Emily: I'm fine. Why are you married to Brenda?

Jason: It's a long story. I don't want to get into it.

Emily: Robin is hurt. I can't let you hurt her Jason. I owe her my life.

Jason: I didn't know she was going to be here. Why is she here?

Emily: Jason. Port Charles is her home. Her family and friends are here. I can't believe you don't think she has the rights to be here.

Jason: I didn't say that Emily. I just wanted to know why.

Emily: I am sick of this. What did she ever do but love you?

Jason: Emily? Why are you upset about this?

Emily: Robin is very important to me. I would gladly give up my life for her. I am tired of you all mistreating her.

Jason: I didn't mean to upset you Emily.

Emily: I'm not. You know what, I'm tired. Why don't we have lunch or some thing.

Jason: Ok, I'll call you (Emily hugs Jason and walks off)

Mac: Wow, that was some party last night.

Anna: Robin was upset. She didn't want to talk last night.

Mac: I can understand.

Robin: Understand what?

Anna: Hi, Luv.

Mac: How are you feeling?

Robin: I'm fine. Understand what?

Mac: Last night. You must have questions.

Robin: I do but you know what? I don't really care right now. I just want to spend some time with you and Mom.

Anna: What do you want to do?

Robin: I don't know. Nothing. I haven't done nothing in so long. I don't know what it feels like.

Mac: Nothing? That doesn't sound like you. You're always doing something. That's what makes you tick.

Robin: I know. This is the new and improved me. I can do nothing. (Mac and Anna looks at each other concerned) I saw that.

Anna: Honey...we have the rights to be concerned. How about doing an autumn BBQ? We can invite Felicia and the girls. You can invite some friends. It'll give us both a chance to get reacquainted with everyone.

Robin: That sounds great. Are you up for it, Uncle Mac?

Mac: Anything, to get you out of doing nothing (Robin playfully hits Mac) Why don't your mom and I get things together and you do the invitations?

Robin: OK. I have to make an appointment to see Alan first.

Mac: Are you OK? (looking worried)

Robin: I'm fine. I take more precautions with my health since what happened.

Mac: I was worried there. Tell Alan, thank you for me.

Robin: I will. I'm going to head out. I love you both.

Mac & Anna: Bye Robin.

Mac: Is she alright?

Anna: She has scars that haven't healed. She's getting there.

Setting: Kelly's

Nicholas, Gia, Lucky, and Liz are sitting at a table discussing Luke and his situation.

Lucky: I don't know what else to do.

Liz: Lucky, it's not your fault. At least we got him back to Port Charles.

Nicholas: I think it's better that he's here. At least Alexis can help him here.

Gia: I agree. There's nothing more we can do for Luke.

Lucky: He's my dad. I have to find a way to help him. (the front door opens, in walks Robin. No one notices her. Robin spots Nicholas and Lucky and walks over)

Robin: Hi guys.

Nicholas: ROBIN! (gets up from his chair and hugs her)

Robin: Hi.

Lucky: Robin, what are you doing here? (he hugs Robin)

Robin: (a little bit out of breath) I came to find you.

Nicholas: What? Why?

Gia: Honey. Calm down.

Lucky: Gia, you don't understand. We haven't seen Robin in 4 years. 4 years. What are you doing here? Not that I'm not glad to see you.

Robin: I came back with Emily last night.

Liz: Emily is back? (surprise)

Robin: We both decide to come home for a visit.

Nicholas: I'm so glad you here. I've missed you.

Robin: I'm missed you too.

Gia: (feels agitated that Nicholas and Robin are so intimate) Hi, I'm Gia.

Nicholas: Oh I'm sorry. Gia this is Robin Scorpio. Robin this is Gia Campbell.

Robin: Glad to meet you. You're more beautiful in person.

Gia: (feels less threatened) Thank you.

Robin: Hi Liz. How are you? How's your painting coming along?

Liz: (a little hesitant) I'm fine. I haven't painted anything in a while. I'm been sort of busy.

Robin: Emily said you're great.

Liz: I don't know... (a little embarrassed)

Lucky: How long are you in town for?

Robin: I'm here to visit my mom and Uncle Mac. It's up in the air.

Lucky: Your mom is here? That's great. I can't wait to tell Dad.

Robin: Where is your Dad? He's my next stop.

Lucky: You don't know?

Robin: Know what?

Lucky: He's in jail.

Robin: What? What happened?

Lucky: It's a long story.

Robin: It seems that everyone keeps giving me that answer. I want to see him.

Lucky: I don't know Robin. He's pretty much out of it.

Nicholas: No, it's a great idea. You might be what Luke need.

Liz: Nicholas is right. Luke loves Robin. There's not much he wouldn't do for her.

Robin: How can I help?

Lucky: Dad is refusing everyone's help. He doesn't want anybody to know that Mom killed Chris Webber. He's protecting her.

Robin: I know something about that. Let me try.

Lucky: Thank you Robin.

Robin: No need. I love Luke. He's like a father to me. I have to get going. Uncle Mac and Mom are doing an autumn BBQ. Can you guys drop by?

All: Of course.

Robin: All right. I'll see you at Mac's in a couple of hours. Bye.

Nicholas: I'm glad she's home.

Lucky: I hope she can help. (Gia and Liz exchanges looks)

Robin: Maxie, Georgie (Robin hugs the girls)

Maxie: Robin. When did you get back?

Robin: Just a couple of days ago. I've missed you.

Georgie: We've missed you to. Are you staying for good?

Robin: No, I'm just here for a visit.

Maxie: I'm glad you're here even if it's only for a visit.

Robin: Uncle Mac is doing a BBQ later. Can you come?

Georgie: We have to check with Mom

Robin: Will you ask her to come? I haven't had the chance to visit with her.

Maxie: We will.

Robin: I have to get going. I'll see you later.

Maxie & Georgie: Bye Robin

Setting: At the docks.

Sonny: When are you leaving?

Jason: Brenda wants to stay for another couple of days.

Sonny: For Robin?

Jason: I think so. Have you talked to her?

Sonny: No. You?

Jason: I tried. She doesn't want to talk to me.

Alcazar: Well, the local mob guys.

Sonny: What do you want Alcazar?

Alcazar: Enjoying the view. How's Brenda?

Sonny: (walks toward Luis) You stay away from her. (Robin was walking towards Jason, Sunny, and Luis with her coffee. She stops when she sees the men)

Robin: Luis?

Alcazar: Robin? (Robin drops her coffee and run towards Luis. Luis scoop her in his arms and twirls her around) Oh my Robin!

Robin: I thought I would never see you again (she looks tenderly at Luis with tears in her eyes)

Alcazar: Don't cry my Robin (he wipes her tears away. Sonny and Jason look at each other shocked and confused. Jason looks hurt watching Robin and Alcazar in their embrace) I'm here now.

Robin: (lets Luis go) What are you doing here?

Alcazar: Business.

Robin: (with questions in here eyes) What business? Did you know I was going to be here?

Alcazar: No. This is a pleasant surprise.

Sonny: Sweetheart- (he reaches for Robin's arm)

Robin: (Robin finally takes notice of Sonny and Jason. She looks sternly into Sonny's eyes) Don't call me that (Sonny is taken back by Robin's cold demeanor)

Jason: Robin, how do you know Alcazar?

Robin: (turns to Jason) I don't owe you an explanation. I don't know you.

Alcazar: (he notices Robin's coldness and his confused as to why) Robin, where are you staying?

Robin: Uncle Mac's. Will you stop by later?

Alcazar: I can go with you now.

Robin: No. I have an appointment with Dr. Quartermaine.

Jason: (concerned) Are you alright? (again Robin looks at him like she doesn't know him)

Alcazar: Why Robin?

Robin: After what happened, I'm taking extra precautions. I'll only be a couple of hours.

Alcazar: I'll wait for you (he touches her faces and smiles. Jason sees this and feels uncomfortable)

Robin: I'll see you (she smiles at Luis and walks off)

Sonny: If you so much as touch her, you're dead.

Alcazar: Empty threats.

Jason: I'd take care if I were you. (Alcazar smiles and walks off)

Sonny: How does Robin know Alcazar?

Jason: I don't know (thinking about the happiness on Robin's face when she saw Alcazar) I'll check it out.

Sonny: Did you notice that Robin goes by Mrs. Cates?

Jason: I heard last night. She's married?

Sonny: Cates was Stone's last name.

Jason: I don't understand.

Sonny: I don't like this.

Setting: Later outside Mac's house

Robin: You could wait for me inside.

Alcazar: I don't think I'm one of the commissioner's favorite persons.

Robin: Do you want to come in?

Alcazar: I rather be with you in private.

Robin: Luis (a little flustered) What are you doing in Port Charles?

Alcazar: It's a lo-

Robin: Don't finish that sentence. Everyone is giving me the same answer. Will you tell me later?

Alcazar: (he scoops Robin into his arms) I'll tell you anything.

Robin: (laughing) That works too. (Both don't notice that in a distance, Jason is watching them. He feels a pain he hasn't felt before. Why are you here Robin? Why did you have to come back? It was so much easier when you weren't here. Why are you so attached to Alcazar? Why do I care? I let you go)

Setting: Late that night at Mac's house

Robin is in her bed trying to get to sleep. She keeps playing Luis and Jason in her head. Why am I thinking about him? He let me go. I don't know him anymore. Trying again to close her eyes to sleep. A few minutes later, her eyes open.

Robin: This is ridiculous. I have too much energy to sleep. (She goes to the closet and pulls out some sweat pants and put them on. She goes down the stairs and walk out of the house. She starts running down the road. Why do I always end up here? She notices that she's at the bridge) Hi Stone. I'm back. You didn't think I would be, did you? I'm so much better now. I'm almost a doctor. Can you believe it? I'm almost there. I'm going to be a neurosurgeon. What happened to pediatrics? It's too painful for me. After what happened, I can't look at another child without thinking about Caitlin. I tried. I'm just not strong enough. I wish you were here. I miss you every day. I love you every day. I can't stop (she's startled when she hears a twig snapped) Who's there? (Jason comes out behind the bush) Why are you here? (Robin turns back towards the water)

Jason: I needed to see you (he walks toward Robin. She looks so peaceful and beautiful. She looks so calm with the wind blowing at her back)

Robin: Isn't it hypocritical for you to say that? (still looking out at the water)

Jason: What is?

Robin: You said you never wanted to see my face again and yet here you are claiming to need to see me (still not looking at Jason)

Jason: (looks at Robin's back intently) I didn't say that.

Robin: Don't insult my intelligence, too.

Jason: (frustrated that he can't get through Robin) That is not why I'm here.

Robin: Why are you here? (still refusing to look at Jason)

Jason: I need to talk to you. Robin, please look at me.

Robin: (takes a deep breath and turns to Jason) I don't want you to have to see my face longer that you have to so I'll make this short. There's nothing to say. Stay away from me (she turns and walk off the bridge, leaving Jason by himself. Jason is stunned by what Robin said. It's like he doesn't know her anymore. His Robin would never walk away without listening to him first. But then Robin is not his anymore.)

Setting: PCPD

Officer: Spencer, you have a visitor.

Luke: Tell them I don't want to see them.

Robin: You don't want to see me?

Luke: (surprise and smile) My favorite Scorpio. What are you doing here?

Robin: To see you of course. I went to club but you were missing.

Luke: Better accommodations.

Robin: Why are you here? And don't tell me it's a long story. I'm tired of everyone giving me that line.

Luke: That's Scorpio for you. Demanding as always. Things happened. I had to do what I had to do to protect the one I love.

Robin: I know about that. I can write a book about it. Are you protecting Lulu, Lucky, me by being in here?

Luke: That's low little Scorpio.

Robin: Whatever gets the job done.

Luke: You first.

Robin: (smiles) Alright. I came back to spend some time with Uncle Mac and Mom.

Luke: Anna? She's here?

Robin: Yes. She's going to be pissed if she sees you in here.

Luke: How long are you here for?

Robin: It's up in the air. Mom needs some private time.

Luke: How are you? Doctor yet?

Robin: I'm great. I'm almost there Luke. I'm going to be a neurosurgeon. I'm looking for a hospital to do my residency.

Luke: Wow, that's great. I wish Robert's here to see you.

Robin: He is...everyday.

Luke: Yes he is.

Robin: Will you let me help you? My dad would never let you stay in here. I won't either. I'll camp right out here. You know I will too. I'm the commissioner's niece. I won't have any problems. You'll have to see my face every minute of the day. I'll sing to you. I'll recite Shakespeare to you. I'll even try comedy.

Luke: (laughing) Please no comedy. Scorpio and comedy don't mix. Talk to Alexis Davis, she'll know what to do.

Robin: Thank you Luke. I love you. I'll see you soon. I'll bring Mom by the club.

Luke: Bye Luv. Take care of yourself.

Robin: I will. You too. Bye.

Setting: Kelly's

AJ: Hi Courtney.

Courtney: (she continues to wipe the counter) What are you doing here, AJ?

AJ: I wanted to see if I can walk you home.

Courtney: Seeing that no one is stalking me, I can walk home by myself.

AJ: Courtney, please. I tried to explain.

Courtney: Don't AJ. I need time (just then the door opens, in walks Jason. Courtney smiles at Jason)

AJ: (AJ notices Courtney smiling at Jason) Time with Jason?

Courtney: AJ

AJ: What? You don't have time to spend with your own husband. But you do for Jason?

Courtney: It's not like that AJ.

AJ: Whatever. I wanted to make amends. I want try to save our marriage. If you do to, you know where to find me (he walks off)

Courtney: AJ

Jason: What was all that about?

Courtney: AJ wanted to walk me home.

Jason: I don't understand how you still want to be around him.

Courtney: Jason, he's trying to make amends.

Jason: How many chances are you going to give him?

Courtney: I don't know. I don't know what to do.

Jason: Look, I'm not here to pressure you. I wanted to see if you wanted to grab something to eat.

Courtney: I want to but I think I should go find AJ. I don't want him to get into any troubles.

Jason: Ok, I'll talk to you later then.

Setting: Mac's living room later that day.

Robin: So are you going to tell my why you're in Port Charles?

Brenda: I don't know where to start.

Robin: The beginning works.

Brenda: God, you're pushy.

Robin: And you're not? Stop stalling.

Brenda: I wanted to stay away like I told you. I think I'm starting to get the symptoms. I get these weird headaches sometimes. The medicine helps but not always. Anyway, the guy who was helping me decided he wanted to get rid of Sonny and Jax to keep me away from Port Charles. I don't understand why though. I told him that I wanted to be with him. But, he tried to kill Sonny. I thought he succeeded. But Sonny faked his death. I mourned for him. I had to protect Jax. I couldn't lose him too. I lead him to Jax. That's how Jax was shot.

Robin: Oh Brenda. You do know how to pick them. How are you now?

Brenda: I'm fine. Jason and I are leaving.

Robin: Why?

Brenda: I still don't want anyone's pity. I don't want to ruin Sonny and Jax's lives. They're married for God sake.

Robin: So? That means you stopped loving them?

Brenda: I love them. I just don't want them to see me at my worst. I'm scared.

Robin: Why didn't you come to me? I'm your sister.

Brenda: I couldn't. I saw what you went through with Stone and Katherine. I couldn't do that to you.

Robin: Don't try to protect me. I love you. I want to take care of you. Not out of pity but love. Do you understand that?

Brenda: I'm not strong like you Robin. I can't make sound decisions (laughs at herself)

Robin: Don't Brenda. You're just as strong as me if not more. Don't sell yourself short.

Brenda: Oh Robin. I needed to hear that. I'm sorry my marriage to Jason hurt you.

Robin: The marriage doesn't hurt me. I don't know Jason anymore. Your not telling me hurts me.

Brenda: He's actually been great. It seemed so logical to marry him. But to be honest, I think he married me to protect Carly and Sonny.

Robin: That's nothing new, him protecting Carly. She didn't look very helpless.

Brenda: She's a ditzy. How can Sonny love her boggles my mind?

Robin: I don't know. I don't care. They're not my problem anymore.

Brenda: I'm sorry to drag you into this. How are you seriously?

Robin: I'm actually great. I'm looking for a hospital to do my resident.

Brenda: That's great. What about your love life? You look a little different.

Robin: (embarrassed) Brenda. I just saw someone I haven't seen in a while. I thought he was gone and then out of the blue I saw him at the dock. It's weird (shakes her head).

Brenda: He must be something for you to be so flustered.

Robin: I'm not flustered. I'm confused that's all.

Brenda: Yeah. Uh-hum. Whatever.

Robin: Stop it (laughing at Brenda)

Brenda: I've missed you. I've missed this. So what hospital are considering?

Robin: The hospital in Paris is great. But I've been missing the States. I've looked into Chicago, Boston, and Pine Valley.

Brenda: Why not here?

Robin: Port Charles? I don't know. Too much has happened here.

Brenda: Yeah...but you've moved past it. You're not walking on glass because of Carly anymore. You're your own person. You're happy and healthy. Port Charles is your home.

Robin: That's true. I guess I just never consider it because of the history. But you're right. This was my home before Jason, Carly, and Sonny.

Brenda: That's my sister

Robin: I'll talk to Alan and Monica. Mac and Mom will be so happy.

Setting: Jason's penthouse later that night.

Jason: We have to talk about Robin.

Brenda: What about Robin?

Jason: What does she know about Alcazar?

Brenda: Nothing. I've never mentioned him.

Jason: They were very intimate when Sonny and I saw them together.

Brenda: Luis and Robin. No. You're joking, right?

Jason: No, I'm not. They seem very close.

Brenda: Oh my god. That must be who she meant (she covers her mouth to hide her shock)

Jason: What? Brenda what?

Brenda: She looked so happy and I quizzed her on it. She said she ran into someone she thought she would never see again. She was confused.

Jason: Alcazar never mentioned her?

Brenda: He mentioned that there was someone he cared for. But he didn't want to cause her more pain so he left. Oh my god, he must have meant Robin. Jason, what are we going to do?

Jason: I don't know. He must be using her to get to us.

Brenda: That means she's in danger Jason. We have to do something.

Jason: You will do nothing. Let me handle it.

Brenda: I don't know Jason.

Jason: (a little louder) Brenda, let me handle it.

Brenda (yells back) OK. Fine!

Setting: The docks later that night

Jason: (seeing Courtney looking out at the water) Courtney?

Courtney: Jason.

Jason: What are you doing out here? It's not safe.

Courtney: I'm fine Jason. I was just taking a walk.

Jason: You look upset.

Courtney: AJ and I had another fight.

Jason: Courtney.

Courtney: Don't say it Jason. I wish sometimes AJ were more like...

Jason: More like what, Courtney?

Courtney: (she walks closer to Jason) Like you

Jason: (he looks at Courtney longingly) Why?

Courtney: You're so easy to talk to, to be with.

Jason: Courtney- (Jason steps closer to kiss Courtney. He stopped kissing Courtney when he heard a noise. He turned toward the noise and saw Robin. Robin looks at Courtney and Jason questionably. She walks away. Jason was going to call out to her but stopped. He stepped away from Courtney)

Courtney: Jason? (puzzled as to why he withdrew)

Jason: You should go home. It's not safe here.

Courtney: (didn't understand Jason's change in mood) Ok. I'll see you later.

Jason: Bye (still thinking about seeing Robin. What must she think? His phone rings) Morgan.

Sonny: Jason, did you find anything about Robin?

Jason: Benny hasn't found anything. I have some other guys checking her background in Paris.

Sonny: She's not going to like this.

Jason: We're doing it to protect her, Sonny.

Sonny: She's still not going to like it. Let me know if you find anything.

Jason: Ok (hangs up the phone)

Setting: The park, a couple of days later.

Emily: Thank you for lunch Jason.

Jason: I'm glad you can spend time with me. I've missed you.

Emily: I missed you too. Now that I think about it, leaving Port Charles was the right decision for me. I became my own person without the Quatermaine name. I'm healthy and happy. And I've gained Robin as my sister.

Jason: Emily, how did Robin find you?

Emily: I was such a mess after the accident. I didn't want to live anymore. I couldn't see my future as a paralyzed person. I didn't feel whole. I took one too many sleeping pills one day. The next thing I knew, Robin was shoving me into the shower. She stayed with me the entire night. She talked about this and that to keep me awake. She talked about everything. Her parents, Duke, Stone, Katherine, Brenda, Sonny, you, Caitlin. She wouldn't let me sleep. She would make me drink coffee. She cleaned up after me. She wouldn't quit. So I had to quit. God Jason, my life is a piece of cake compared to Robin's. I felt so pathetic. But she wouldn't let me feel sorry for her. She took 6 months off of school to stay with me. She cooked, cleaned, shopped, took me to physical therapy. Worked with me so I can get into NYU. She comes to see me every couple of months. I don't know how I would survive without her.

Jason: I didn't know any of this. No one told me.

Emily: Now you know why when you hurt Robin, you hurt me. No one knows about Robin.

Jason: Emily, I'm sorry. How did Robin know where to find you?

Emily: Dad. After what happened with Robin and Caitlin, Dad was really worried about her health. Dad came to see her a few times to check on her. I guess one of those times he was distraught over me and mentioned it to Robin. Robin didn't say anything to Dad about coming to me. I think it was her way of saying thank you to Dad for helping her through her ordeal.

Jason: I didn't know that Robin was sick. Why didn't anyone tell me?

Emily: Who did you expect to tell you? You let her go.

Jason: But that didn't mean I didn't want her happy and healthy. I cared about her.

Emily: We didn't know. You were so wrapped up with Carly and Michael. You never talked about her.

Jason: But I cared. I still do. Emily, who is Caitlin? I heard Robin mentioned her and so did you.

Emily: (tears in her eyes) I don't know how to tell you this Jason. Caitlin was your daughter. I'm sorry Jason.

Jason: (shocked! He looks at Emily) My daughter?

Emily: Yes (wipes away her tears)

Jason: (rubs his eyes) I have a daughter? Where is she?

Emily: You need to talk to Robin. She needs to tell you.

Jason: She won't talk to me. I tried. Please Emily, tell me.

Emily: I'll tell you what I can without betraying Robin. She died 2 months after she was born. Her lungs collapsed.

Jason: My daughter is dead? (tears rolling his eyes) How? Why?

Emily: When Robin found out she was pregnant. She was almost 5 months along. She was so depressed and sad, she didn't pay any attention to herself. One of her friends physically wheeled her into a doctor's office. But it was a little too late. The doctor put Robin on nutrition therapy, new cocktail combination for the HIV, kept her in bed for the remainder of the pregnancy. But Robin wasn't strong enough. She couldn't repair the damage. Robin had a C-section in her 8 month because she kept spotting. The baby was born premature with underdeveloped brains and lungs. Robin never got to take her home. She never left Caitlin bedside. She wouldn't let the nurses feed Caitlin. She did everything herself. She lived in the seat next the Caitlin's incubator until Caitlin passed away.

Jason: And I wasn't there. Robin was by herself. I wasn't there. I didn't get to see my daughter. I have to go.

Emily: Don't attack Robin, Jason. You don't know what she went through to be at this point. Don't take her down.

Jason: (he looks at Emily and nods) Bye Emily.

Setting: The bridge.

Jason's been riding around now for several hours and finds himself on the bridge. He keeps hearing Emily's voice saying his daughter is dead. It keeps playing itself over and over again. He had a daughter. Caitlin. Robin. What have I done? He keeps trying to imagine Robin with his daughter. But he can't. He lost so much. How can you lose something you didn't have. It feels like someone is squeezing the blood out of his heart. He hurts. He yells out 'Caitlin' to the water. He fell over to the side and started to cry.

Setting: Robin's room at Macs.

Robin suddenly wakes up from her sleep. She's a little bit disoriented. She looks around the room. That's weird, she thought. She decides to go down the kitchen to get some water for her medicine. Robin walks down the stairs and notices Anna sitting on the couch looking at picture of her.

Robin: Mom, what are doing? Are you alright?

Anna: Robin, I'm fine. I couldn't sleep.

Robin: I'm sorry that we haven't spent very much time together.

Anna: No don't be. We've both been running around. I've made a decision.

Robin: What decision? I didn't know you had one to make.

Anna: David. I didn't know what to do about him.

Robin: Mom, I don't understand. I thought you love David.

Anna: I do. I did. But I can't forgive him for what he did. I can't get past it.

Robin: What did he do?

Anna: He kept Maria away from Edmund and the children. He lead us to believe she was dead. All the while, she was under his care.

Robin: He must have an explanation.

Anna: He said he was protecting Maria. She lost her memory. She doesn't remember she's Maria Grey.

Robin: Do you not believe him?

Anna: I don't know. He saw how much Edmund and the children were grieving for Maria. I saw it. I felt Edmund's anguish. I would kill to get back the 9 years I lost with you. I would kill whomever that kept me away from you.

Robin: David didn't keep you away from me.

Anna: I know. Mac said the same thing. If David is capable of this, what else can he be capable of? I fell in love with him not knowing everything about him. I have to think of my child. I have to think of you.

Robin: Mom, I'm fine. I don't want you to do anything for me. I want you to be happy.

Anna: I am happy. Here with you and Mac. It's time for me stop hiding from Port Charles. I'm leaving David. I'm going to move back to Port Charles.

Robin: Are you sure this is what you want?

Anna: I am. Being here that last few weeks made me realize I don't want to run from my past anymore. I love my family and my friends. I was very happy here once.

Robin: And David?

Anna: I can't love a man I don't trust. Duke taught me that.

Robin: I'm so happy that you want to move back here. Uncle Mac is going to love this.

Anna: I wanted to discuss it with you before I talk to Mac.

Robin: I'm great with it. I'm sorry about David.

Anna: I am too.

Robin: You want to hear more news?

Anna: Of course. What is it?

Robin: Well, I found a hospital to do my resident.

Anna: Really, that's great. Which hospital?

Robin: General Hospital.

Anna: Robin, that's fantastic. When did you decide?

Robin: Well Brenda put the idea in my head. I thought about it. Then I went to talk to Alan. He was very supportive. I can start as early next year.

Anna: I'm so happy for you. My daughter. The neurosurgeon.

Robin: I still need to finish my internship in Paris. I'll start making plans to move back around December.

Anna: This is perfect. We both decide to move back on our own.

Robin: This is really great.

Mac: What is really great? (covering a yawn)

Robin: Uncle Mac! It's late.

Mac: I know. What's really great?

Anna: You tell him.

Mac: Tell me what?

Robin: We're moving back home. I'm going to do my resident at General Hospital.

Mac: (happy and surprise, hugs Robin) Oh Robin! That's the best news I've heard in a long time. My niece. The neurosurgeon.

Robin: Mom said that already. You guys are really bad.

Mac: When are you moving back?

Robin: Well I have to finish my internship in Paris. I start at GH in January. December, I should be home.

Mac: This is great news. But wait a minute. You said "we".

Anna: I'm moving back too. Port Charles is my home.

Mac: I'm glad you're coming home Anna. You can stay here, you know.

Anna: No, I think I need my own place. But I will stay until I find another place.

Mac: Deal. We have to celebrate. But I can't keep my eyes open. Tomorrow?

Anna & Robin: Definitely!

Mac: G'night girls.

Robin: Night Uncle Mac. He must really be tired.

Anna: I think he's having it pretty rough at the station.

Robin: Now, that you're here, you can help him.

Anna: I don't know Robin. I don't want to step on his toes.

Robin: Nonsense. He would love your help. Felicia used to help him all the time.

Anna: I'll talk to him.

Setting: The dock, next day.

Robin is sipping her hot chocolate looking out at the water. She's thinking about all the stuff she has to do to move back to Port Charles.

Alcazar: Robin?

Robin: Hi. The dock must be our spot. We keep running into each other here (she smiles at Luis)

Alcazar: (He smiles back) Yes it is. What are you doing out here by yourself?

Robin: Thinking. It's so nice here.

Alcazar: I know what you mean. I catch myself here sometimes. What are you thinking about?

Robin: Life. I'm moving back to Port Charles.

Alcazar: You are? Why? When?

Robin: My mom is moving back. Uncle Mac is here. My friends are here. Plus General Hospital has a great brain trauma center. Monica is one of top surgeon.

Alcazar: I know. When are you moving back?

Robin: Around December. Why are you still in Port Charles?

Alcazar: Are you trying to get rid of me?

Robin: You know that's not true. You said you were here for business.

Alcazar: Yes, I was. But now that you're here, I don't want to leave (he caresses Robin's face)

Robin: Luis (she touches his hand at her face. Jason happened to walk along the end of the docks and notices them. He looks hurt and saddened. He walks away) I believe you owe me a story.

Alcazar: Your memory is impeccable. Yes I do. I promise to tell you all. Can we meet up after you moved back?

Robin: Of course. You don't have to even ask.

Alcazar: I have to go my Robin. I'll see you at another time (he leans forward to give Robin a tender kiss on the mouth)

Robin: Bye (she feels her lips as Luis walks away)

Setting: Jax's house

Skye: Why do we have to postpone our honeymoon again?

Jax: It's only for short while. I want to spend time with Robin and Anna. They're important to me.

Skye: But Jax, I want to spend time alone with you. We haven't had any alone time since we got married.

Jax: I know. I'll make it up to you. (Jax gives Skye a crushing kiss. Theres a knock at the door. It's Robin) Robin. Hi. Come in (They hug each other)

Robin: I wanted to see you before I left. Hello Skye.

Skye: Hi Robin. I have some errands to do. I'll see you later? (she gives Jax a quick kiss)

Jax: You're leaving already?

Robin: Yes but I'm coming back.

Jax: You are?

Robin: I've decided to do my residency at GH.

Jax: That's terrific. I'm so happy for you. Being in Port Charles won't be a problem for you?

Robin: Port Charles is my home. I'm tired of running from it. I have family and friends here.

Jax: Yes you do. I'm so glad you're moving back.

Robin: Mom is moving back too.

Jax: She is?

Robin: Yes. She's happy here. She wants to raise the baby here.

Jax: What about David?

Robin: She's leaving him.

Jax: Oh. Is she OK?

Robin: You know, I think she is.

Jax: Wow, this is great that you're both moving back. Where are you going to live? The cottage is available.

Robin: I can't stay there. I'm going to stay at Macs. I think he's lonely without Felicia and girls.

Jax: Felicia seemed to have move beyond Mac. She was involved with Roy DeLuca.

Robin: Really? Gosh, I'm so in the dark.

Jax: Don't really about it. It's nothing that you can do.

Robin: So, tell me about Skye.

Jax: She's great. She's very understanding. I love her.

Robin: Like you love Brenda?

Jax: Different. Skye taught me I could love again completely. I owe her.

Robin: And Brenda?

Jax: I don't know. Did I stop loving Brenda? No. But did I move on? Yes. I want to take care of her. But she won't let me.

Robin: She doesn't want you to pity her.

Jax: Robin, I don't pity her. I care for her. I want her to have the best.

Robin: Why don't you tell her that? I think she needs you but she won't let herself.

Jax: I'll talk to her. How about you? Are you ok being around Sonny and Jason?

Robin: I'm not around them. There's no reason for me to be.

Jax: I didn't mean to upset you.

Robin: I'm not. I know you mean well.

Jax: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when Caitlin passed away. How are you dealing?

Robin: Stop apologizing for that. I'm dealing. Being with you and everyone help tremendously.

Jax: I'm glad. If you need anything, let me know. When will you be back?

Robin: Around December.

Jax: That long?

Robin: It's not that long. I have a lot of loose ends to tie up in Paris.

Jax: Well, I'll definitely be here when you get back.

Robin: OK. I have to get going. I love you.

Jax: I love you, too. Take care of yourself.

Robin: I will. You too (she gives him another hug and leaves)

Jax: (the phone rings) Jacks resident.

Voice: I'm looking for Skye Quatermaine?

Jax: She's not here. Can I take a message?

Voice: Please tell her that Dr. Lamier returned her call.

Jax: Dr. Lamier? I'll do that. Thank you. (why is a doctor calling Skye? What is this about?)

Setting: The docks

Robin is trying to balance her purses, some shopping bags, and a cup of coffee.

Sonny: Can I help you Robin?

Robin: (she looks at Sonny annoyed) No, thank you.

Sonny: You look like you can use an extra pair of hands.

Robin: I said no thank you.

Sonny: Robin, we need to talk. We need to get past this.

Robin: Talk about what? We don't have anything to talk about.

Sonny: Robin, you're my sister. I've missed you.

Robin: No, I'm not your sister. I was just Stone and Jason's girlfriend.

Sonny: Robin, I'm trying.

Robin: Don't.

Sonny: Don't just walk a way.

Robin: If I remember correctly, you told me to leave.

Sonny: I didn't mean it.

Robin: Well, that's convenient for you. 4 years later you tell me you didn't mean it. If I didn't come back, would you have called and said you didn't mean it? No, I didn't think so. You don't know me and I don't know you. Let's keep it that way.

Sonny: Robin- (looks heartbroken)

Robin: Stay away from me (she walks away)

Setting: Luke's club later that night.

The club is packed now that Luke's back. Everyone in Port Charles seems to be here. In walk Anna, Mac, and Robin. They head toward Luke at the bar.

Luke: Well, the whole Scorpio clan. What a sight!

Anna: Hello Luke. Glad to see you out.

Luke: Well, thanks to that demanding daughter of yours.

Robin: Your welcome, Luke.

Luke: No hard feelings, Mac? (he reaches to shake Mac's hand)

Mac: None Luke.

Luke: So what can I get you Scorpios?

Mac: Well, we're celebrating. So how about some champagne?

Robin: Champagne? Wow.

Luke: What are we celebrating?

Anna: Robin and I are moving back to Port Charles.

Luke: That's great. This is the best news, definite cause for celebration. (yells to everyone) Champagne for everyone on the house.

Ned: (shouting back at Luke) What are we celebrating?

Luke: The Scorpios are back in Port Charles.

Robin: Oh Luke. You're too much.

Luke: Nothing but the best for my favorite Scorpio (Luke looks toward the door and sees Sonny, Carly, Jason, and Brenda. He nods his heard toward Sonny)

Sonny: It looks like Luke is throwing a party.

Brenda: Everyone is drinking champagne. Some party (they make their way towards the bar)

Sonny: What are we celebrating?

Luke: (smiles) Life and friendship. What's a better reasons?

Jason: Any empty table?

Luke: Around somewhere (he heads back toward the Scorpio. Nicholas, Gia, Liz, Lucky make their way toward the bar also.

Nicholas: Hi Robin.

Robin: Hi you guys. Mom, this is Nicholas Cassidine, Gia Campbell, Elizabeth Webber, and of course Lucky.

Anna: Hello everyone.

Lucky: How about dance Robin?

Robin: Liz, do you mind?

Liz: (smiles at Lucky) Of course not.

Lucky leads Robin to the dance floor. The floor is packed with dancers. Lucky managed to get them to the center of the floor. The band was playing some Latin/Salsa number. Lucky and Robin danced around each other laughing. The other dancers were leaving the dance floor to watch Lucky and Robin. Lucky twirls and spins Robin around the dance floor. She can't stop laughing. Everyone at Sonny's table is staring at the dancing couple. Carly is livid that Robin is center stage again. Sonny and Brenda are smiling at the couple. Jason is intently watching Lucky's hands as it travel down Robin's body. She looks so beautiful with her hair around her face. Her petite body just seems to move for the music. She's breathtaking. He can't take his eyes off of her.

Liz: They are really good.

Anna: I used make Robin take dance lessons.

Nicholas: It shows. I think I'm going to jump in.

Gia: Nicholas (but Nicholas didn't hear her)

Liz: Let him go. Nicholas and Robin have a very special bond.

Gia: What bond? (a little irritated)

Liz: She helped him recovered his speech when no one could. I don't think there's anything he wouldn't do for her.

Gia: Oh (looks longingly at Nicholas and Robin. The band had started a slow number just as Nicholas reached Robin)

Lucky: Man, she can dance.

Liz: You're not bad yourself.

Lucky: Would you like to dance?

Liz: I would love to (Liz and Lucky walks toward the dance floor)

Nicholas: You look beautiful.

Robin: Nicholas, I'm all sweaty.

Nicholas: It adds to your beauty.

Robin: (blushes) You're embarrassing me. So, tell me about Gia?

Nicholas: Later, I just want to dance with you.

Robin: OK (Nicholas gathers her closer. Robin rests her face on Nicholas' shoulder and closed her eyes. Robin felt good being held again).

Brenda: They look close.

Carly: Didn't he always have a thing for her, Jason?

Jason: I don't know (he answered absently. He watched how close Robin was holding Nicholas. It was painful to watch but he couldn't tear his eyes away. She looks so beautiful and alive. He remembers when they used to dance together. He can feel how soft she feels, how her hair smells)

Brenda: Earth to Jason? (waving her hand in front of Jason's face)

Jason: What? (annoyed)

Brenda: Want another beer?

Jason: Sure. (Brenda walks to the bar to get their drinks

Brenda: Hi Anna. Hi Mac.

Mac: Hi Brenda.

Anna: Hello Brenda. Having a good time?

Brenda: Not as much as Robin. She looks happy.

Anna: She is. Did she tell you?

Brenda: Tell me what?

Anna: We're moving back to Port Charles.

Brenda: That's great. I'm so happy for you. (she hugs Anna) I have to talk to Robin. (She walks toward Nicholas and Robin) Robin, I heard! (She grabs Robin from Nicholas and hugs her. The girls hug and twirl each other around) I'm so happy for you.

Robin: Thank you. Will you stay?

Brenda: I'll think about.

Nicholas: Go get your own partner. Robin is mine.

Brenda: Touchy. (she waves and walks back toward Jason)

Jason: What was that all about?

Brenda: (with a huge smile on her face) None of your business. (Jason looks at Sonny. They both shrugged their shoulder).

Setting: Next day at Macs.

Robin: (walking down the stairs with her bags) OK, I'm ready.

Anna: Oh, honey. I wish you weren't leaving.

Robin: Mom, it's only for a few months.

Anna: I know. I'll miss you.

Robin: I'll miss you too. Uncle Mac, will you keep an eye out for her?

Mac: I will. Don't worry. Settle your business so you can come home.

Robin: As fast as I can. I have to go. Bye I love you. (She gives Anna and Mac hugs)

Anna: I miss her already.

Mac: Anna, she just left.

Anna: I know. So what do you want to do?

Mac: I have to head to the station. Care to join me?

Anna: Are you serious? I don't want to get in the way.

Mac: I could use the help. This whole Luis Alcazar thing is killing me.

Anna: What needs to be done?

Mac: He called in favors with government. So he's been cleared of all charges. But Alexis Davis won't let it drop. She wants to go after him for her sister's death.

Anna: How can I help?

Mac: Help me find a loophole to get him. How many people can he have in his pocket?

Anna: Let's go (they walk out of the house)

Setting: Kelly's, several days later.

Lucky: I'm really glad Robin and Anna is moving back to Port Charles.

Liz: Luke must be happy.

Lucky: I think he is. It gives him something else to think about besides Mom.

Liz: Robin is a good influence on Luke.

Lucky: Yeah, she is. I have a photo shoot with Gia. You want to go out to dinner later?

Liz: Like a date? (she smiles a Lucky)

Lucky: Yes, if it's ok. I think it's time for us to concentrate on us.

Liz: (surprised that Lucky thinks of them as "us") I would love that.

Lucky: How about I pick you up here at 7?

Liz: Ok.

Lucky: Bye

Liz: Bye (still smiling after Lucky leaves)

Courtney: You look happy.

Liz: I am.

Courtney: Can I ask why?

Liz: Lucky and I have a date tonight.

Courtney: Lucky? I thought you have feelings for Jason.

Liz: I did. I do. I'll always be grateful to Jason for being there for me when Lucky was gone. But I just couldn't get past his shield and his secrets. I can't live like that.

Courtney: Jason is a great help. But he doesn't let anyone help him.

Liz: Robin could.

Courtney: Robin Scorpio?

Liz: They were together for almost 4 years. She was his love.

Courtney: What happened?

Liz: Carly happened.

Courtney: What does Carly have to do with Jason?

Liz: It's a long story. It's not mine to tell. But I do know that Jason and Robin loved each other a lot. I always admired how they can love each other so completely.

Courtney: I didn't know.

Liz: Jason doesn't talk about Robin much. They ended badly.

Courtney: I see. I can't picture Jason loving anyone completely (she's thoughtful as she remembers Jason's kiss)

Liz: I know

Emily: Hi Liz. Hi Courtney.

Liz: Emily. Hi (she gives Emily a hug)

Courtney: Hi Emily. I have to get back to work.

Liz: How are you doing? You look great.

Emily: I'm fine. How about you?

Liz: I'm great. Things are getting a little more settled.

Emily: I heard about you and Lucky.

Liz: Yeah, it was bad. But I think we're starting to find our ways back to each other.

Emily: That's great Liz. You are were good together.

Liz: Yeah, I thought so.

Emily: Liz, have you seen Zander. I can't find him.

Liz: (hesitant) I haven't seen him for a couple of days. Emily, there's something I have to tell you about Zander.

Emily: Is he alright?

Liz: Yes, I think so. I don't know how to tell you this.

Emily: Just tell me.

Liz: After you left, Zander really missed you. He started working for Sonny. Anyway, I was kidnapped and Zander tried to help. We ended up in a tomb together. We thought we were going to die because I broke the gas pipe.

Emily: Go on.

Liz: Jason and Sonny rescued us in time. Zander and I got close while we were together. I finally saw what you saw in him. He was rough on the outside but on the inside he was very caring (Liz looks at Emily, not sure if she should continue) One night during a storm, I was stuck in the stairway. I panicked and freaked out. Zander found me and took me back to my studio. He stayed and comforted me. I really needed him.

Emily: That's it?

Liz: No, there's more. We ended up sleeping together that night. The next morning, I felt uncomfortable. I started to back off from Zander. He didn't understand. He said I used him. I did Emily. He and I have gotten past it. We're just friends now.

Emily: You slept with Zander?

Liz: I'm sorry.

Emily: I don't think you have to be. Zander and I weren't together.

Liz: But you love him.

Emily: Yes, I did. Thank you for telling me.

Liz: You're my best friend. I couldn't keep it from you.

Emily: It doesn't affect how I feel about you. I'm going to go. If you see Zander, will you tell him I'm looking for him?

Liz: I will. Bye Emily (feels ashamed)

Setting: Jax's house.

Skye: Dr. Lamier?

Voice: Yes?

Skye: Hi. It's Skye Quatermaine.

Voice: You got my message?

Skye: Message?

Voice: I called a couple of days ago.

Skye: Oh? What can you tell me about Brenda Barrett?

Voice: This is in strict confidence. Ms. Barrett does not have her mother's disease. No one knows this.

Skye: (shocked) Brenda is not dying?

Voice: No, she's perfectly healthy.

Skye: Brenda is not dying (she repeats herself)

Jax: How do you know that Skye?

Skye: What? (she looks up and realized Jax was at the front door) Thank you Doctor. (she hangs up the phone and walks to sit on the couch)

Jax: Skye, I asked you a question.

Skye: Her doctor told me.

Jax: Why were you talking to Brenda's doctor?

Skye: I had to know Jax. I'm fighting for our marriage.

Jax: You've been sneaking around my back?

Skye: Jax, please try to understand. I was scared (wiping at her tears)

Jax: What do you have to be scared of? I married you. I love you.

Skye: But you also love Brenda. I see how you look at her.

Jax: I don't know what else to say. I can't handle you lying and deceiving me.

Skye: Jax. I had good reason. I was protecting our marriage (she cries harder)

Jax: You always have a good reason for lying.

Skye: Please Jax (she grabs Jax's jacket)

Jax: No, I won't do this. I can't keep fighting with your insecurities. I told that I love you. That should have been enough. I'm going to stay at the hotel.

Skye: No Jax. Please let me explain (she desperately tries to reach for Jax)

Jax: No more explanations (Jax walks from Skye. Skye throws herself on the couch and cries)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse.

Carly: This feels so good (she and Sonny are cuddling each other on the couch)

Sonny: Yes, it does.

Carly: We've had a lot of distractions lately.

Sonny: I agree.

Carly: I want to start trying again.

Sonny: Baby?

Carly: It was dangerous before because of Alcazar. He's out of the picture now. Please Sonny?

Sonny: How can I say no?

Carly: Really?

Sonny: Let's start now

Carly: You won't hear any complaints from me (she leads Sonny to the bedroom)

Setting: Kelly's

Liz was sitting at a table waiting for Lucky. She's trying to hide her nervousness by flipping through a magazine.

Lucky: I'm so sorry I'm late. The session went behind schedule. I wanted to change before coming here.

Liz: (gets up from table, walks toward Lucky) You're not late. You look nice.

Lucky: So do you.

Liz: Thank you- (hesitant, she looks at Lucky) I'm a little nervous.

Lucky: I am too.

Liz: Thank you for telling me. I feel so dumb being nervous.

Lucky: Liz, it's understandable. We're different people. We grew up.

Liz: You're right. I'm really excited. Where are we going?

Lucky: I have to drop by Luke really quick and then we can go the Grille?

Liz: Great.

Setting: Luke's club.

Lucky: I just have to talk to Dad real quick. Want to come and wait for me? (they walk through the door. The place is completely dark except for one table lighted by candles. There's soft music playing in the background.

Liz: Lucky, did you do this?

Lucky: I wanted our first date to be special.

Liz: Oh Lucky, it's perfect. Thank you.

Lucky: Your welcome. Claude, you can start.

Liz: I can't believe you did all this. Where did you get the time?

Lucky: I arranged it with Dad before I went to the photo shoot.

Liz: I'm really speechless. Would like to dance? (she extends her hand across the table for Lucky)

Lucky: (take's Liz's hand) I'd be honor (he leads her to the dance floor. They move back and forth to the music.

Liz: It's been a long time since we danced.

Lucky: Too long. Liz, I'm sorry.

Liz: For what?

Lucky: Sarah, my behavior, the way I treated you.

Liz: Please don't apologize.

Lucky: No, I was wrong. We need to discuss this so we can start again.

Liz: I'm sorry too. I guess we grew up without each other and I didn't know how to deal with that. I had developed feelings for Jason while you were gone. And I felt so guilty about it when you came back. You were so different. But you were still Lucky to me. I just didn't want to see that you changed. That I changed.

Lucky: I tried to control your life, Liz. I lost a part of myself when I was gone. I didn't realize how my decisions affected you. I didn't love Sarah, Liz. I think I was trying to get back at you because you turned away from me.

Liz: Thank you for saying that. You know, I don't think I stopped loving you. I just wasn't in love with who you've become.

Lucky: And now?

Liz: I don't know. I'm starting to understand you better. I'm seeing the Lucky that I fell in love again. I see your love for your family, your trust in Nicholas, your kindness toward others.

Lucky: I think I'm learning me again too. Thank you for sticking around.

Liz: I never really left (Lucky holds her closer and they continue to dance)

Setting: Mac's house

Anna: (opens the door) Jason.

Jason: Hi Anna (he can't stop looking at her. She reminds him so much of Robin)

Anna: Do you want to come in?

Jason: (hesitate but decides to come in) OK.

Anna: Can I get you something to drink?

Jason: No I'm fine.

Anna: Why don't you sit down? What can I do for you?

Jason: (surprise that Anna is so nice to him) I wanted to say thank you.

Anna: For what?

Jason: For coming back. You've made Robin so happy. She missed you when you were gone.

Anna: I missed her. I have to thank you too.

Jason: Don't.

Anna: I have to. I know you were there for her. She told me. Even Mac told me. Thank you for taking care of her.

Jason: Please don't. I love her. I mean I loved her. She helped me a lot too.

Anna: Well, you have my gratitude (Anna squeezed Jason's hand. Jason was in awe of Anna. She was so kind)

Jason: I was looking for Robin. Is she here?

Anna: She's back in Paris. She's been gone a couple of weeks now.

Jason: I didn't know (he looks sad by the news) I guess I better go.

Anna: Oh, alright. Do you want me to give her a message?

Jason: No. That's not necessary. Bye Anna.

Anna: Bye Jason (she's thoughtful as she watches him leaves)

Setting: At the park.

Nicholas: Emily? What are you doing by yourself?

Emily: Hi Nicholas. I'm just enjoying the weather.

Nicholas. Yes, it's nice. I think we're really going to get some snow.

Emily: I hope so. Christmas doesn't feel the same without snow.

Nicholas: It's only a month away.

Emily: It comes so quickly. I hope Robin will be here by Christmas.

Nicholas: I hope so too. Any special plans?

Emily: None. I just want to enjoy my family and friends before I have to head back to school?

Nicholas: School?

Emily: Oh, you don't know. I'm in my second year at NYU.

Nicholas: Emily, that's great. What are you studying?

Emily: International business law.

Nicholas: Wow, what a major.

Emily: I know. I thought would like business because of my family. But it's so exciting and challenging.

Nicholas: You are going to be a great lawyer. Watch out corporate world.

Emily: Well, I'm not there yet.

Nicholas: You will be. Maybe, I should hire you now.

Emily: Nicholas, stop being funny.

Nicholas: I'm serious. I can get you real cheap now.

Emily: Nicholas.

Nicholas: So, any special guy in your life?

Emily: No. Gia is beautiful.

Nicholas: Yes, she is. She's very ambitious.

Emily: She sounds perfect for you.

Nicholas: Yeah. You hungry?

Emily: You know, I haven't eaten in a while.

Nicholas: Let me take you to an early dinner.

Emily: OK.

Setting: Mac's office.

Anna: I can't find anything.

Mac: Me neither. He's almost too clean.

Anna: I know. Something is off. I can't put my finger on it though.

Mac: Well, I need a break. We've going at this for a couple of weeks now.

Anna: What else is on your plate?

Mac: Wait a minute. You're supposed to be relaxing. Not clear my case load.

Anna: Mac, I want to help.

Mac: And you have. I just don't want you to push yourself.

Anna: I'm not. I need the distraction.

Mac: It didn't go well with David?

Anna: No. He was very angry. He wants me to raise our child in Pine Valley.

Mac: Did you explain to him?

Anna: He's just being difficult. I'm supposed to get the divorce papers next week.

Mac: That soon?

Anna: I don't see the point in waiting.

Mac: Anna, are you sure about this?

Anna: I am. I have to do what's best for my child.

Mac: I'm here if you need anything.

Anna: Thank you. Let's go get something to eat.

Mac: Kelly's?

Anna: Fine.

Setting: Kelly's

Mac and Anna are eating their dinner. In walks Felicia, Maxie and Georgie.

Felicia: Hi Mac. Hi Anna.

Mac: Hi girls. (Maxie and Georgie hug Mac)

Anna: You girls get more beautiful every time I see you. Do you want to join us?

Felicia: You don't mind?

Mac: Of course not. Let me get some chairs.

Maxie: When will Robin be back?

Anna: She hopes in a couple of weeks.

Felicia: I'm so happy she's coming home. So Anna, have you find a new place?

Anna: No. Mac and I've been so wrapped up with cases that we haven't even started looking.

Felicia: Oh. (she tries to hide her disappointment)

Mac: We should really start Anna. You must be getting tired of my bachelor pad.

Anna: Are you kidding? We're never there.

Felicia: I can help you look, Anna.

Anna: That would be great. You probably have better ideas than Mac.

Mac: Hey, I'm offended.

Anna: Right. Is tomorrow good for you?

Felicia: Fine. Why don't I meet you at Macs?

Anna: How about the station?

Felicia: Ok (they all start on their dinner)

At another table

Ned: Alexis, you should really try to eat.

Alexis: I can't Ned. I have to revenge Kristina's death.

Ned: We will. But you need to take care of this baby. Kristina would want that.

Alexis: I am. There's Mac. I'm going to talk to him.

Ned: Ok.

Alexis: Hello everyone. Mac, can I speak to you?

Mac: Sure Alexis (He gets up a table and walk Alexis to the counter) What can I do for you Alexis?

Alexis: Did you anything about Alcazar?

Mac: Anna and I have been digging. Nothing.

Alexis: Oh (disappointed)

Mac: (reassuringly) We won't stop Alexis. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.

Alexis: What Mac?

Mac: Alexis, you can file a civil suit against Alcazar for Kristina's death. Hell, you can bring one against Sonny too.

Alexis: I don't want their money.

Mac: Don't take their money. Donate the money. At least it's some justice

Alexis: I'll think about. Thanks Mac.

Mac: I'm sorry I wasn't more helpful.

Alexis: You've been great. I'll let you get back to your family (they head back to their own table)

Felicia: Is Alexis alright?

Mac: She's still dealing with Kristina's death.

Felicia: I should talk to her and apologize.

Mac: It's not your fault Felicia.

Felicia: I'm partly to blame. I was involved with Roy when this happened. I could have prevented it.

Mac: Felicia, you didn't know (he reaches for Felicia's hand across the table. Anna notices this)

Setting: Robin's flat in Paris

Everything is mostly in boxes. Most of the big furniture is gone. There's still a little table in the kitchen with a phone and a laptop on it. Some of Robin's clothes are scattered on the floor. Robin is trying to pack the rest of her books when the phone rings.

Robin: Bonjour

Anna: Robin?

Robin: Hi Mom.

Anna: Hi Honey. I haven't heard from you. I was getting worried.

Robin: I'm sorry. I've been trying to call but I keep losing track of time. I have so many things going on.

Anna: Is there anything I can help you with?

Robin: No. I'm just trying finish up at the hospital and school. I have most of things packed. Mom, you have to see my place. It looks like a tornado came through.

Anna: I can't imagine. You're so neat and tidy.

Robin: I know. I'm trying to pack what I think of I don't need. I didn't realize I have so many books.

Anna: Well, you were always a bookworm.

Robin: Now, I'm paying the price by keeping all these books. I've sold all my furniture except my kitchen table.

Anna: Where are you staying at honey?

Robin: I've been pulling double shifts at the hospital. So, I'm sleeping there most of time.

Anna: Honey, I don't want you to wear yourself out.

Robin: I'm not. I'm just on this high.

Anna: When do you think you'll get here?

Robin: Probably 3 weeks. I was going to leave earlier but I got the opportunity to observe a surgery. I couldn't turn it down.

Anna: I understand honey. Your career is important to you.

Robin: How are you? How's Mac?

Anna: I'm fine. I've been helping Mac with his cases. You know, I think he really does enjoy my help.

Robin: Mom, why are you surprise? Mac loves working with people. Have you found a place?

Anna: No but Felicia has been helping me look. I just haven't found a place that clicked.

Robin: I know what you mean. It took me forever to decide on this place.

Anna: Well, I'll let you get back to your packing. Call me when you're ready to leave.

Robin: I will. Give my love to Mac. I love you, Mom.

Anna: I love you too. Bye Luv.

Robin: Bye. (hangs up the phone. She looks around the room. What a mess! She continues putting books in boxes. I really need to start selling some books. A picture flew out of a book as she was putting it in the box. She picked up the picture and turned it over. It was picture of her and Jason at the Nurses Ball. Jason has his hands around Robin's waist. I look so happy, Robin thought. It was a lifetime ago. Robin rubs her finger over Jason's face. He's so beautiful. Robin sighs and put the picture back inside one of the book. She continues her packing.

Setting: Jax's hotel suite

Voice: Hello?

Jax: Julia? It's Jax.

Julia: Hi Jax. How are you? I haven't heard from you in a while.

Jax: I know. I'm sorry. I've been a little busy.

Julia: Don't apologize. It's good to hear your voice.

Jax: Yours too. Julia, I need your help.

Julia: What I can do?

Jax: It's about Brenda.

Julia: Brenda?

Jax: I don't know how to say this. Julia, Brenda is alive. She's here in Port Charles.

Julia: Brenda is alive?

Jax: Yes, she's alive and she's beautiful.

Julia: I can't believe it. You were so sure she was dead.

Jax: Everyone lost hope when we couldn't find her body. Julia, can you come to Port Charles?

Julia: Of course, I'll take the next plane out. Is there something else, Jax?

Jax: Yes. But I'll discuss it with you when you're here.

Julia: I'll call you when I land. Bye Jax.

Jax: Bye Julia (Jax hangs up the phone. He pulls a picture of he and Brenda from his wallet. I'm going to get to the bottom of this Brenda)

Zander: I'm here to see Emily.

Reginald: Is she expecting you?

Zander: I think so.

Emily: You don't work for Sonny anymore?

Zander: No. I don't want that life anymore. I want something better.

Emily. That's great. What do you want to do?

Zander: I don't know. I don't know what I'm really good at.

Emily: Well, I'm sure you'll find it.

Zander: How long are you here for?

Emily: Until the end of the year. New semester starts in January

Zander: You're going to school? Where?

Emily: NYU.

Zander: Wow. I'm happy for you.

Emily: Thank you.

Zander: Can we get together while you're here?

Emily: We are together, Zander.

Zander: I mean, go out somewhere.

Emily: Sure.

Zander: Can I take you to dinner later this week?

Emily: I like that.

Zander: I'll call you.

Emily: Zander, I have to head out. I have a meeting with Ned at ELQ.

Zander: ELQ?

Emily: Ned is teaching me about the business.

Zander: Wow, that's great Emily. I'll let you go. I'll call you.

Emily: Bye Zander.

Zander: Bye Emily (he waves and walk out)

Setting: Jax's hotel suite, a couple of days later.

Jax: (goes to answer the door) Brenda, thank you for coming.

Brenda: You said it was important.

Jax: It is. Can I get you something?

Brenda: No I'm fine. What's this all?

Julia: Brenda? (with a hand over mouth to stop from crying)

Brenda: Julia! (she runs to Julia and hugs her)

Julia: You're alive (Julia runs her hand through Brenda's hair and face)

Brenda: Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

Julia: I'm just so glad you're alive (she grabs Brenda again for a hug)

Brenda: What are you doing here?

Julia: Jax called and said he needed my help.

Brenda: Help with what? (she looks at Jax and then Julia)

Jax: Your mother's illness.

Brenda: What about it? (she starts to get defensive)

Julia: Brenda, sit down. It's about Mom.

Brenda: Mom?

Julia: She was really sick, Brenda.

Brenda: I know that.

Julia: No, I mean really sick. She did things that really hurt people. You. Me.

Brenda: I don't understand.

Julia: Brenda, you're not sick.

Brenda: What? (shaking her head at Julia and Jax)

Jax: Listen Brenda. Let Julia explain.

Brenda: Go on.

Julia: You don't have our mother's illness. She lied. She wanted you all to herself.

Brenda: But she didn't tell me I was sick.

Julia: No, but she paid Dr. Lamier to lie to you.

Brenda: What?

Julia: I know this is confusing. Look, while you were away at boarding school, she was really lonely. I was away for work a lot. I think that triggered a lot of her symptoms. I didn't know how to help her and what to do. Anyway, I took her to see Dr. Lamier because he was the best in the field. He explained to us what was wrong with her. He wanted to keep her there for observation and treatment. She didn't want to stay. I didn't have the heart to make her stay. So, I took her home with medications from Dr. Lamier. I stayed with her for a couple of months and it seemed like the medications work. But the business took a hit because I wasn't available. So, I went back to work because she was getting better. After a couple of weeks, I would get calls from Mom. She was always scared and crying. She couldn't sleep. So I took her to Dr. Lamier again. He said her disease seems to be progressing further. He suggested I check her in. I didn't have the heart. I talked to Mom. She was really mad that I would leave her there by herself. She was hysterical, Brenda. I didn't recognize her (Julia started crying)

Brenda: Julia, it's alright. Tell me what happened next.

Julia: Dr. Lamier had to sedate her. I didn't see any choice. I left her with Dr. Lamier. Before, I left Dr. Lamier suggested that you and I should get tested. I refused to take you out of school. But I got tested. Dr. Lamier said I was negative. So I said my goodbyes to Mom and left. A month or so later, Dr. Lamier called and said I should come to see Mom. I did. She looked good. But she was withdrawn. Dr. Lamier said the symptoms were under control but that she needs constant supervision. I took her home and hired nurses to take care of her. But none of the nurses would stay. Mom would have some problem with them. I kept hiring new ones. I was so distraught. I called Dr. Lamier to ask for help and he suggested that I take care of Mom. I told him I didn't have the skills. But he was adamant that Mom needed me. So, I left the business and started taking care of Mom (Julia stopped. She started walking around the suite)

Jax: Tell Brenda the rest, Julia.

Brenda: Please Julia.

Julia: I liked spending time with her. She barely had any symptoms. She was sleeping and eating. So I started doing some work at home. I was going crazy doing nothing. But every time I would pick a phone, Mom would come running in needing me to do something. When I leave to do errands, she would call and say she wasn't feeling well. I didn't understand it. She was fine one minute and the next she was all frazzled. I called Dr. Lamier and he suggested I take her to him. This time, he suggested I stay with her. So I stayed. After I few weeks, I left. I couldn't stand it there anymore. Mom was great but I wasn't doing anything. I wanted to pull my hair out because I felt to useless. One night, Dr. Lamier suggested I come back to the clinic. I thought Mom was getting worst. She wasn't. Dr. Lamier said he rechecked my test. He was wrong. I was positive for Mom's illness. I was in shock. I couldn't believe. I asked if he was sure and he said he was. He checked several time. He suggested I come as soon as possible so he can start treatment for me. I told him I would call him back. I was numb after I talked to Dr. Lamier. My brain was going 10,000 different directions. I was worried about you and your future. So I got the business ready for a sale. I started settling Moms, Dads, and mine estate. When I was doing that, I noticed that there was large withdrawn from Moms account. I didn't know why so I checked it out. The money was going to Dr. Lamier's private checking account. So, I confronted Dr. Lamier about the money. I threatened to call the authority before he would tell my anything. He said Mom paid him to forge my test result. Mom's sickness is not hereditary. She was sick. But she wasn't dying. She just wanted me to be with her. She wanted me to herself.

Brenda: Oh my god, Julia.

Julia: I know Brenda. I didn't know that you went to get tested. I would have told you. I was trying to protect you from Mom. I knew what she was capable of.

Brenda: God, Julia (Brenda was crying)

Julia: I'm sorry Brenda. I didn't know that Mom came to Port Charles. That was the very thing I was trying to prevent. I didn't want her to hurt you. Now, do you see Brenda? You don't have her disease. She was just sick and lonely. Brenda, I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. Can you forgive me?

Brenda: Oh, Julia (Brenda grabs Julia and hugs her tightly) I've been so wrong about you. All you've done is tried to protect me.

Julia: (crying) I love you Brenda.

Brenda: I love you too. I'm sorry for all that you went through. I'm sorry you had to do it by yourself.

Julia: I would do anything to protect you Brenda. You're my only sister.

Brenda: (wipes a way her tears) No more crying. I'm so happy. This is the best present you can give me (she walks toward Jax and puts her arms around him) Thank you (she whispered)

Jax: You're welcome (with tears in his eyes)

Brenda: Will you stay for a while? (she looks happily at Julia)

Julia: Yes. Jax checked me into the suite next door.

Brenda: That's great. God, I'm going to live (she walks around the living room, hugging herself. Julia and Jax are smiling at each other over Brenda's happiness) What am I going to do?

Jax: Anything you want.

Julia: (wanting to give Brenda and Jax some time alone) I'm tired. I think I'm going to clean up and go to bed early.

Brenda: Ok. I'll see tomorrow?

Julia: Yes. Come by when you can.

Jax: Bye Julia. Thank you. (Julia waves at them and leaves) So what do you want to do?

Brenda: I want to enjoy life.

Jax: With me?

Brenda: With you. I can't think of a better person to enjoy it with.

Jax: Will you go a way with me?

Brenda: Where?

Jax: Anywhere you want. I can fuel up the jet. We'll stop wherever comes to mind.

Brenda: That's sound wonderful.

Jax: When do you want leave?

Brenda: Soon (she smiles)

Setting: Alexis' apartment

Ned: Have you given thought to Mac's suggestion?

Alexis: Yes. I just don't know if I want to go through that. There's going to be a lot mud slinging. Are you ready for that?

Ned: I am if that's what you want. I'll take Sonny and Alcazar any way I can get them.

Alexis: Ok. Let's do it. But before I file the lawsuit there's something we have to do.

Ned: What?

Alexis: Get marry

Ned: Married?

Alexis: I've given it a lot of thought. We're good together. You respect my independence and I respect yours. I trust you. We don't fight. We have history together. I love you. You're willing to be the father of my baby

Ned: (stops Alexis babbling) You love me?

Alexis: What? (startled that Ned caught that) Yes.

Ned: When?

Alexis: For a while now. I didn't say anything because of Kristina.

Ned: Alexis. You should have told me. Kristina would want me to move on. I would like to move on with you.

Alexis: Are you saying you want to marry me?

Ned: Yes, Alexis I want to marry you.

Alexis: Now

Ned: If you like

Alexis: Oh Ned (she walks to Ned and embraces him) Thank you for being kind to me.

Ned: I love you too Alexis.

Alexis: You do?

Ned: Yes. I just wanted you to get over Sonny.

Alexis: Sonny? I've been over him for so long.

Ned: It didn't seem like it.

Alexis: Ned. I see my stupidity when it comes to Sonny. But I'm grateful that he gave me my child.

Ned: I am to. It brought us back to each other.

Alexis: Yes it did (she tenderly kisses Ned)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Guard: Mrs. Jacks

Carly: What do you want Skye?

Skye: I'm sure Sonny is going to want to hear this.

Sonny: What is it?

Skye: I'm going to find so much satisfaction in telling you this.

Carly: Spit it out.

Skye: Brenda is not sick. She's perfectly healthy.

Carly: What? (shocked)

Skye: You heard me. Brenda is not sick. Her mother paid the doctor to lie all these years.

Sonny: Are you sure about this?

Skye: I talked to him myself. I see my job here is done. Good luck with your marriage Carly (she leaves)

Carly: Sonny? (she nervously watches Sonny's reaction)

Sonny: What?

Carly: What are you going to do?

Sonny: About what?

Carly: Brenda, Sonny.

Sonny: Nothing, I'm married to you. We're planning a family together. There's nothing for me to do.

Carly: Sonny (she embraces Sonny tightly. Sonny rubs Carly's head looking out at nowhere.)

Setting: Mac's house

The house is dark and quiet. Mac is asleep in his room. Anna is asleep in hers. Anna is tossing in her bed. Her body is soaked in sweat. She's moaning in her sleep and clutching her stomach.

Mac: Anna, wake up.

Anna: Mac...it hurts

Mac: What hurts Anna? (he reaches for her and noticed she feverish)

Anna: My stomach. I think it's the baby.

Mac: C'mon, I'm taking you to GH (he helps her out of bed. Anna tried to stand)

Anna: Oh, it hurts Mac.

Mac: Ok, let's go (he picks Anna up and carries her down the stairs. He reached for her coat and placed it on her) You're going to be alright.

Setting: GH Emergency Room

Mac: I need help (yelling and carrying an unconscious Anna in his arms.)

Bobbie: Mac. Anna. What happened?

Mac: Her stomach was hurting her. She passed out during the drive over.

Bobbie: Ok, lay her on this bed. Let us check her out. Why don't you wait outside?

Mac: I can't leave her.

Bobbie: Let the doctors do their job (she guides Mac outside)

Mac is pacing around the waiting room. He can't stand not knowing. He feels guilty. I had her helping me with my cases when she needed rest. God, what was I thinking? Please Anna, be all right. Bobbie comes into the waiting room.

Bobbie: She's conscious now. You can see her.

Mac: How is she?

Bobbie: She's in a little pain. But the doctor gave her something to help.

Mac: And the baby?

Bobbie: I'm sorry Mac. There wasn't anything we could do.

Mac: Thank you, Bobbie (Mac walks toward Anna's room) Hi. How are you feeling?

Anna: (looking tired) I'm fine. You don't look so good.

Mac: That's funny Anna. I'm sorry about the baby.

Anna: The doctor said there wasn't anything anyone could do. It just wasn't meant to be.

Mac: When can you go home?

Anna: Tomorrow. They want to keep me here overnight for observation. I'm tired (covers a yawn)

Mac: Sleep. I'll be right here when you wake up (he touches her forehead. Mac pulled up a chair next to Anna's bed and watches her sleep)

Setting: Next morning at GH.

Anna wakes up from her sleep. She takes in her surrounding. The pain from last night is gone. She sees Mac resting his top body on her bed. She smiles. She touches his head to wake him up.

Anna: Mac.

Mac: Anna, you're awake (he smiles at her)

Anna: Were you here all night?

Mac: I didn't want you wake up by yourself.

Anna: Thank you Mac. Why don't you go home and get some rest?

Mac: Ok. But I'll be back to take you home.

Anna: I'll be here (she smiles at him.)

Mac: Bye (he gives her another smiles and leaves)

Setting: The docks

Sonny: So I heard the good news.

Brenda: Yeah, can you believe it?

Sonny: I'm happy for you Brenda.

Brenda: I'm happy for me too. I've been living in fear for so long. Now I don't know what to do with myself.

Sonny: Enjoy life.

Brenda: That's what Jax said (she smiles at Sonny) What are you doing out here so early?

Sonny: I needed to think.

Brenda: About what?

Sonny: Life and the decisions that I've made.

Brenda: That's really serious thinking for so early in the morning.

Sonny: That's me. Serious Sonny.

Brenda: Not always. If I remember correctly, you really know how to enjoy life.

Sonny: Yeah, we had good times.

Brenda: That it was.

Sonny: We can still have good times.

Brenda: Sonny, you're married.

Sonny: And you're married.

Brenda: It's not the same thing. You love Carly. I don't love Jason. We can barely stand each other.

Sonny: True. I guess I'm playing the what-if game.

Brenda: Don't Sonny. We can't change anything.

Sonny: I know but that doesn't mean I don't have regrets.

Brenda: (she approaches Sonny) No regrets

Sonny: (Sonny looks sadly at Brenda) None

Brenda: I have to go... (she turns to walk but Sonny grabs her back. He looks at her intently. He grabs her face with both hands and kissed her. Brenda was in shocked. But she kissed Sonny back. She kissed him back with all longing she feels for him. They crushed each other in an embrace.)

Alcazar: Well, this is romantic.

Sonny: (Sonny and Brenda breaks apart. Sonny looks annoyed at the interruption) What do you want?

Alcazar: What would your spouses think?

Brenda: (angry) None of your business, Luis. Why are you still here?

Alcazar: I was actually looking for you.

Sonny: Stay away from her.

Alcazar: (smiles at Sonny) Hostile, aren't we. I wanted to congratulate you on your health.

Brenda: That's right Luis. I'm not dying. So that means I'm never going back to you.

Alcazar: Never is a long time, Brenda.

Brenda: Not long enough where you're concerned.

Alcazar: You know where I'll be if you need need.

Brenda: Don't hold your breath (they watch Alcazar walk away) Why doesn't he just leave?

Sonny: I don't know. Keep your distance from him.

Brenda: He has to pay for what he did.

Sonny: You let me worry about that, Brenda.

Brenda: I can't.

Sonny: Let me handle it. You just start enjoying life again.

Setting: In front of Kelly's

Carly and Bobbie are outside talking to each other as Alcazar walks by.

Alcazar: Good morning, Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: What do you want?

Alcazar: I just ran into your husband. He looked very busy.

Carly: Are you following Sonny?

Alcazar: Why would I do that? It's a public dock, Mrs. Corinthos. You just never know what you might see.

Carly: What are you talking about?

Alcazar: Give my regards to your husband and Brenda (he walks off)

Carly: God, I hate him.

Bobbie: Don't let him get to you.

Carly: What did he mean by all that?

Bobbie: Does it matter?

Carly: (feeling suspicious about what Alcazar said) I have to go. Bye.

Bobbie: Ok, bye (she watches Carly rushed off)

Setting: The docks

Sonny: So now you don't need to go away.

Brenda: No I don't.

Sonny: What are your plans? (Off in the corner, Carly sees Sonny with Brenda. She's mad and jealous that they're together. She walks toward them)

Carly: What's going on here?

Sonny: Carly.

Carly: I asked you a question (she looks accusingly at Sonny. Brenda smiles at Carly's state)

Sonny: We're talking Carly. You can see that.

Carly: What do you have to talk about?

Brenda: (finally speaks up) None of your business.

Carly: (turns and looks at Brenda nastily) My husband is my business.

Brenda: (steps closer to Carly's face) What we talked about is not.

Sonny: (stepping in between them) That's enough, Carly. We were just talking. Did you need something?

Carly: (gives Sonny the puppy eyes) I needed my husband.

Brenda (rolls her eyes at Carly's comment) Give me a break.

Carly: What did you say?

Brenda: (slowly she saids) I said give-me-a-break.

Carly: Are you mocking me?

Brenda: Carly, such big word for you. How long did it take you to come up with it?

Carly: (tries to grab Brenda but Sonny holds her back) You bitch!

Brenda: (stands her ground) No you are. I'm not good like Robin. I'll fight dirty with you, Carly

Carly: You can actually say her name? You married the love of her life.

Brenda: She knows my reason.

Carly: I bet.

Brenda: I'm not a conniving bitch like you. I don't need to lie.

Carly: (fuming mad, she gives Brenda dirty looks) Sonny, are you going to let her talk to me like that?

Brenda: (having a good time at Carly's expense) What? Can't fight your own battle?

Sonny: That's enough (he raised his hand) Let's go Carly.

Carly: Finally.

Brenda: (smiles and waves) Bye Sonny. Bye Car-ly (she laughs louder)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac unlocks the door for Anna. Anna walks in followed by Mac with her bag. She notices boxes everywhere.

Anna: Do all these belong to Robin?

Mac: It was delivered when I came home earlier.

Anna: She wasn't kidding when she said she had a lot to pack.

Mac: Tell me about it. Some of those boxes are heavy.

Anna: Her books (smiling at Mac)

Mac: Come sit down. You need your rest.

Anna: Mac, I'm fine. Stop fussing over me.

Mac: You just got out of the hospital.

Anna: I know Mac (shaking her head at Mac. She can't believe how much Mac is fussing over her)

Mac: Can I get you something?

Anna: No. Why don't you come to sit down? Your walking around is making me dizzy.

Mac: I'm sorry (he sits down next to Anna) I feel really terrible.

Anna: Mac, why?

Mac: (he reaches for one of Anna's hand) I feel it's my fault you lost the baby. I had you help me with my cases while you should have been resting.

Anna: Mac. It's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault. They doctor said my pregnancy didn't look good.

Mac: I'm sorry. I know how excited you were about the baby.

Anna: I was but I'm okay. You know I still need to find a place to live.

Mac: You don't have to rush out.

Anna: You're going to have 2 single women living with you. Can you handle that?

Mac: I'm always surrounded by women. (Mac flashes a smile, Anna smiles back at him. God, she's beautiful)

Anna: Still, I think I need me own place. I don't think Robin wants to live with her uncle AND mom.

Mac: You might have something there. She'll probably think we're guarding her from Corinthos and Morgan (he looks over at Anna when he didn't get an answer. She was asleep. Mac smiles. He gets up to get a blanket to cover Anna.) Goodnight Anna.

Thanksgiving passed quietly in Port Charles. Most everyone was with his or her loved ones. Sonny, Carly, Jason, Mike, Bobbie and Michael had dinner at Sonny's penthouse. It was very successful since Sonny did the cooking. Jax had dinner with Julia and Brenda. They had many laughs at Brenda's expense. Julia talked of stunts Brenda used to pull when she was a teenager. Jax enjoyed seeing the sisters grow close to each other. Nicholas and Gia spent Thanksgiving with Liz, Lucky, Lulu and Luke. Luke is slowly getting his life back in order. He misses Laura but he knows she would want him to take of their family. Ned and Alexis of course had to spend Thanksgiving at the Quatermaine. It was loud as usual. Especially when AJ showed up with Courtney. Edward got into it with AJ about not having Michael around. But AJ stood his ground and said his marriage was the most important to him. Emily invited Zander to dinner because she knew he didn't have anywhere else to go. Monica was just happy to see almost all of her family in the same room. Felicia and the girls joined Mac and Anna at Mac's house for dinner. They had a quiet evening followed by a game of charade. Felicia notices how Mac hovers over Anna. Meanwhile in Paris, Robin was sleeping peacefully in the hospital's break room after covering double shifts. Soon, she'll leave for Port Charles.

Setting: The park some days later.

Emily: I wish it would snow more (kicking the light snow on the ground)

Zander: Oh I'm my sure it'll snow more. Then you'll say it's too much snow.

Emily: I don't think so. When I was in the wheelchair, the only thing I kept thinking about was walking on snow. I don't know why.

Zander: I'm sorry Emily.

Emily: Zander I didn't say that to get your sympathy.

Zander. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been in the wheelchair.

Emily: That's in the past. I'm a better and stronger person now.

Zander: Yes and more beautiful.

Emily: Zander (a little embarrassed by the compliment)

Zander: It's true. You're so confident and sure of yourself, it adds to your physical beauty.

Emily: Stop, you'll make me blush.

Zander: (reaches for Emily hands) Emily, I want-

Nicholas: (interrupts Zander) Hi Emily.

Emily: (she lets go of Zander hands) Hi Nicholas. What are you doing here?

Nicholas: Lucky insisted on real snow for a photo shoot with Gia. So they're over by the swings taking pictures.

Emily: Too much for you?

Nicholas: Something like that.

Emily: Nicholas, do you know Zander?

Nicholas: We've met. Zander.

Zander: Nicholas (feeling awkward with Nicholas around) I'm going to get going.

Emily: You don't have to leave, Zander (feels bad that Zander wants to leave)

Zander: No. I have some things to do. I'll catch up with you later (he walks off)

Nicholas: Your nose is getting red.

Emily: It is not.

Nicholas: It is. Look at yourself in the snow. You shouldn't have any problem seeing it.

Emily: (laughing) Nicholas (they don't realize that Zander is just behind a bush looking at them. He looks sadly at how Emily is smiling at Nicholas)

Nicholas: You want to go get something to eat?

Emily: Ok. Is my nose really red?

Nicholas: Yes, but you look really cute (he pinches her nose)

Emily: You're mean (playfully slap Nicholas hand ways)

Nicholas: You really are cute (he smiles genuinely at Emily)

Emily: Thank you (they walk off together)

Setting: Mac's house.

Robin unlocks the front door. Her hands are full of bags. She looks around the house and sees her boxes everywhere. She shakes her head. Gosh, I have a lot of boxes.

Robin: Hello! I'm home (she calls out. Mac and Anna walk out of kitchen after hearing Robin's voice. Anna runs and hugs Robin)

Anna: Robin. What are you doing here? I thought you were going to call?

Mac: Hi Robin (he goes to hug her)

Robin: I wanted to surprise you. I know I'm a little late arriving.

Anna: It's alright honey. I'm sure you had a lot to do.

Mac: Here, let me take your bags upstairs.

Robin: Thank you, Uncle Mac.

Mac: No problem. Come into the living room. I'll be right back.

Anna: Can I get you anything, honey?

Robin: Can I have a glass of water for the meds?

Anna: Go sit down. I'll get it for you. (Anna heads off to the kitchen. Robin took off her hat, gloves, and coat. She makes her way to the living room and sits down) Here you go

Robin: Thank you (Robin proceeds to take her medication)

Anna: You look tired, honey.

Robin: I am a little. I was putting in a lot of double shifts at the hospital and trying to pack my stuff.

Anna: Was this move too much for you?

Robin: I wanted to finish so I can come home. I couldn't wait.

Mac: (making his way down the stairs) Wait for what? (he walks to the couch and sits next to Anna)

Robin: To come home, of course. I wanted to spend Christmas here.

Mac: I'm glad you're home. You look tired.

Robin: (smiles) Mom just said that. Are you guys ganging up on me? I have a whole month to rest. I don't start at GH until January.

Anna: Well, I'm going to make sure you take it easy.

Robin: Mom, how are you? I'm sorry I wasn't here.

Anna: Honey, I'm fine. Besides, I had Mac (Anna reaches of Mac's hand and smiles. Robin notices the gesture)

Robin: Thank you Uncle Mac.

Mac: Not necessary. So what do you want to do tonight?

Robin: Nothing much. I thought I unpack a little and hang out with you 2.

Anna: That's great. Mac was starting dinner.

Robin: (surprise) Uncle Mac cooking?

Mac: (looking offended) I can cook.

Robin: (smiling) Yeah, uh-hum, sure.

Mac: I can. Tell her Anna.

Anna: He's right. He's getting the hang of if.

Robin: (surprise) I can't wait to taste it then. I'm going to hop in the shower.

Mac: We'll have dinner ready.

Robin: I'll be down in 20 minutes (she gets up to walk up the stairs)

Anna: She looks happy to be home.

Mac: Yes, she does. I noticed it took you a while to defend my cooking.

Anna: Robin did have a point.

Mac: I thought I was making progress.

Anna: You are. Great progress. Let's finish dinner (Anna pulls Mac off the couch. They stood holding each other hands and looking at each other.)

Mac: (breaks the look first) Let's get dinner.

Anna: Ok. Right behind you (a little flustered by just what happened. What was that? Anna thought)

Setting: Jax's house

Jax is gathering some clothes and items to put in his bags when Sky walks in.

Skye: Jax (she smiles at him being home)

Jax: I just came to get a few things.

Skye: (looks distraughtly at the suitcases) You're leaving?

Jax: I told you before. I can't live with lies and deceits.

Skye: Don't lie to me. You're leaving me for Brenda.

Jax: No Skye, I'm leaving you for me.

Skye: What you're not back with Brenda?

Jax: No.

Skye: (a little more hopeful) Please Jax. I apologized for my mistakes.

Jax: Skye, I'm your husband not your father. Just because you apologize does not make everything better.

Skye: But I didn't know what to do.

Jax: You should have trusted our marriage and me. I married you. I loved you.

Skye: (with tears in eyes) Loved?

Jax: I don't know how I feel. I don't feel like we have a marriage if we're not honest with each other.

Skye: (wiping her tears) Please Jax, can we work on it together?

Jax: I don't know. I think I want to start the divorce proceedings.

Skye: (crying harder. She grabs Jax's arm) Please Jax no. It's too soon for that.

Jax: (he releases Skye's hands) I have to go (he picks up his suitcases and leaves)

Skye: Jax (she yells out. She starts to cry harder. She looks around the house longingly. She goes toward the vase on the table, picks it up and throws it across the room)

Setting: Mac's house.

Anna, Robin and Mac just finished their dinner. They're started to clean the table.

Robin: Well Uncle Mac, that was a great dinner. Thank you.

Mac: Your welcome. See Anna? Your daughter enjoys my cooking.

Anna: I didn't say anything, Mac (Robin and Anna smiles at each other)

Mac: You had doubts.

Anna: You're paranoid, Mac. Besides, you'll get a big head with all the compliments.

Robin: (watches Mac and Anna mock each other. She shakes her head) Let's go out. I have too much energy to stay in.

Anna: Where do you want to go?

Robin: (she thinks about it) Luke's.

Anna: Mac?

Mac: Sure. I don't have anything planned for the evening.

Setting: Jason's penthouse.

Jason: (walks in the front door. Sees Brenda sitting on the couch doing nothing.) What are you doing?

Brenda: (she looks at Jason) Thinking

Jason: About what?

Brenda: What I am going to do with myself.

Jason: You don't need to go away anymore.

Brenda: No, I don't want to leave. I feel like I got a second chance at life. I don't want to waste it.

Jason: I can understand that.

Brenda: I bet you can. I don't want to make the same mistakes again.

Jason: Then don't.

Brenda: (looks annoyed) You think I want to make mistakes. You think I want to cause pain to others?

Jason: You said it.

Brenda: Look Jason. I've always tried to do what I thought was best. Sometimes it's the right decision and sometime it's not. I'm not perfect like you.

Jason: I'm not perfect Brenda. I remembered you. You live so in the moment that sometimes you don't think of the consequences.

Brenda: I know. I thought that was how you should live life.

Jason: That's what I thought too. Until Robin made me realized that tomorrow usually and always come, that my actions today have ramifications for others tomorrow.

Brenda: That's Robin for you. Way too wise for her years (she smiles)

Jason: (he smiles thinking of Robin) Yeah

Brenda: (she notices Jason's smiling at the mention of Robin's name) So what are you going to do about her?

Jason: About who?

Brenda: Hel-lo. Robin?

Jason: What about Robin?

Brenda: Do you still have feelings for her?

Jason: It doesn't matter. She's back in Paris (he looks a little sad as he said this)

Brenda: (smiles) I'm sure she'll be back now that Anna's here.

Jason: She doesn't want to see me.

Brenda: That stopped you before? Do something about it.

Jason: What? (looking a little puzzled) It's none of your business, Brenda.

Brenda: Fine. I was just trying to help.

Jason: Well, help yourself. What are you going to do about Sonny and Jax?

Brenda: Nothing. They're married. They've moved on without me.

Jason: (feels bad about being abrupt) You're going to do nothing?

Brenda: I can't break up their marriages. I don't want them at that cost.

Jason: Oh.

Brenda: I guess you're stuck with me. Do you want out?

Jason: I don't have anyone waiting for me.

Brenda: What about Courtney?

Jason: She's married to AJ. She said she wants to try again with AJ.

Brenda: I can understand that. Marriage is a bond hard to break (she looks sadly at Jason. Both men that she loves were married) I'm tired of thinking. Let's go out.

Jason: Where?

Brenda: Anywhere. Let's just go (she grabs Jason's arms)

Setting: AJ & Courtney's place

AJ: Courtney?

Courtney: AJ? (walking out from the kitchen) What are you doing here?

AJ: I just wanted to see you.

Courtney: AJ

AJ: I miss you Courtney. I miss not going to bed with you, waking up next to you.

Courtney: I miss you too, AJ. But it's too soon.

AJ: Please Courtney. Give me a chance. Let me show you that I've changed.

Courtney: I don't know.

AJ: I have Courtney. I took a job with Ned at ELQ.

Courtney: You did? I thought you didn't want Edward's help.

AJ: I'm not asking Grandfather for him. Ned is CEO of ELQ now. I'd be working for Ned. I get a regular paycheck like everyone else.

Courtney: That's great AJ. I'm so proud of you.

AJ: Thank you. I'm doing this for me, Courtney. I want to be man you can be proud to love.

Courtney: I don't know what to say.

AJ: Say you'll give us another chance.

Courtney: We have to take it slow.

AJ: I'll do whatever it takes. You won't regret this.

Courtney: I hope not.

AJ: What are you doing tonight?

Courtney: Nothing, really.

AJ: Would you like to go to Luke's with me? I told Ned I meet him and Alexis there.

Courtney: Ok. Let me change (she walks to the bedroom. AJ smiles at the progress he's making with Courtney)

Setting: Luke's club

Brenda: We always wind up here.

Jason: Where else do you want to go?

Brenda: No, this is fine. Let's get something to drink (they make their way to the bar) Hi Luke.

Luke: Hi guys. What can I get you?

Jason: 2 beers.

Luke: Coming right up.

Jason: Business looks good.

Luke: Yeah, a lot of celebrations going on tonight.

Brenda: What celebration?

Luke: Well, the Corinthos family is expanding.

Jason: What?

Luke: My darling niece is pregnant.

Brenda: Carly's pregnant? (shocked. She looks at Carly and Sonny at their table)

Luke: And over there is the newly engaged couple (pointing at Ned and Alexis table)

Brenda: What? Ned is getting married?

Luke: He's gonna make an honest woman out of Alexis.

Brenda: I have to go and congratulate them (she head to Ned and Alexis table. At the door, Anna, Mac, and Robin just walked in. They make their way to the bar. Jason stares at Robin. She hasn't seen him. She looks so beautiful.)

Robin: Hi Luke.

Luke: Welcome back my favorite Scorpio. (Luke reaches over the bar to give Robin a hug) Hi Anna. Mac.

Anna: Hello Luke.

Mac: Luke.

Luke: What I can get you folks? More champagne?

Robin: None for me, sparkling water with a lime please.

Luke: That's a little stiff for you little Scorpio.

Robin: I try.

Anna: Same for me, Luke

Luke: Mac?

Mac: Beer. Thanks.

Luke: So, how's Paris. How's doctor life treating you?

Robin: Paris is beautiful as always. Doctor's life? Busy but I love it. I observed this surgery last week. Oh Luke, you would love it. It was so intense and surreal. I got this rush just watching it. I was thinking that will be me in a few years. Operating on a patient.

Luke: You're going to be great.

On the side, Jason heard Robin telling Luke about Paris. She sounds so happy. She has so much excitement in her voice when she talks about the surgery. He missed that. He misses seeing Robin excited about things. It was so contagious. You couldn't help but be excited with her.

Luke: Jason, do you want another beer?

Robin turns around at Jason's name. That's when Robin saw Jason standing there. She hadn't noticed him when she walked in. He was standing by himself holding a beer. Robin slowly smiles at him and turns back to Anna and Mac. Jason saw her smile. He can't believe she didn't turn away from him. She was breathtaking. He wanted to say something but she had already started talking to Anna. He continue to stand behind Robin and listens to her talk. At the door, AJ and Courtney walk in. They make their way toward Ned's table.

AJ: Hi Alexis, Ned. Sorry we're late.

Ned: Not at all. Sit down (Courtney and AJ sits down)

Alexis: Hi Courtney. Hi AJ.

AJ: Hi Brenda.

Brenda: Hi AJ, Courtney.

Courtney: Hi Brenda. I like your outfit.

Brenda: Thank you. AJ, I hear you're going to work for Ned.

AJ: I started today.

Brenda: Well, don't let him boss you around too much.

AJ: I can handle it. So what's the good news Ned?

Brenda: (couldn't hold) Ned and Alexis are getting married. Isn't that great?

AJ: Congratulations. That is good news.

Courtney: When's the wedding?

Alexis: Soon. We want to be married before I have the baby.

AJ: This is really great. We have to celebrate.

Courtney: AJ.

AJ: No, we have to celebrate. I'm sure Luke has a bottle of sparking cider.

Courtney: (embarrassed by what she was thinking) I'm sure he does. I'll go see (as she walks to the bar, she notices Jason standing behind Robin. He's staring at her back.) Jason, what are you doing here?

Jason: Hi Courtney. Brenda wanted to get out (Jason doesn't realize that Robin can hear his conversation with Courtney) What are you doing here?

Courtney: I'm here with AJ.

Jason: AJ?

Courtney: Jason, please understand. My marriage is important to me.

Jason: I want you to be happy.

Robin can't help but hear the conversation. Jason's back was against hers. She feels guilty listening. Well, if they wanted privacy, they shouldn't be talking at a bar, she thought. Robin doesn't know what to make of the conversation. From what she saw earlier and now this, it seems like Jason is in love with Courtney. God, that feels strange, to know that Jason is in love but not with her. Oh, Robin that was a long time ago. You don't know him and he you. There was some commotion at the bar. A buy bumped into Courtney, who bumped into Jason. He in turns bumped into Robin. They both turn around at the same time. They look at each other.

Jason: I'm sorry. Are you alright? (he looks softly at Robin)

Robin: I'm fine. Just a little spill.

Jason: Let me get you another drink.

Robin: It's ok. I'll get it (she turns back around and gives her drink order to Luke. Jason continues to look at Robin's back)

Courtney: (interrupting) Jason, I'm going to get back to AJ.

Jason: OK (he continues to listen to Robin, Anna, Mac, and Luke. He takes sips of his beer and steals a few glances at Robin's direction. Brenda makes her way back to Jason)

Brenda: Robin, you're back! (the girls hug each other) Hi Anna. Hi Mac. When did you get back?

Robin: Today. We decided to go out to celebrate my coming home.

Brenda: I've missed you. I have a lot to talk to you about.

Robin: What?

Brenda: Not here. I'll drop by tomorrow. I'm going to head out. Jason, are you ready?

Jason: Yeah (he looks at Robin. Robin quickly looks away) Bye (he and Brenda leaves)

Mac: Was Jason here the whole time?

Robin: I guess so (takes a sip of her drink. Mac and Anna look at each other)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse, the next day.

Jason: (walking through the door) I heard the good news. Congratulations.

Sonny: (shakes Jason's hand) Thank you. How did you find out?

Jason: We were at Luke's last night.

Sonny: Yeah?

Jason: So, are you excited?

Sonny: Man, I can't stop smiling ever since Carly told me the news.

Jason: Carly must be happy. I know she was worried she wouldn't be able to.

Sonny: She went for hormone treatment. I guess it worked. Anyway, did you find anything about Robin and Alcazar?

Jason: My guys found out that Alcazar was at the same hospital as where Robin worked. He had some head trauma. He was there for several months.

Sonny: That must be how they know each other. Do you think Alcazar know Robin is connected to us?

Jason: I don't think so unless Robin told him.

Sonny: I think we should keep a close eye on her.

Jason: I put a guard on her. But I told him to keep his distance. Robin is really good at picking them out.

Carly: Robin is good at picking what out?

Sonny: Carly

Carly: What? (no one answers her) What Jason?

Jason: Nothing Carly.

Carly: The saint is back in town for one day and already you guys are lying about her.

Jason: It's nothing like that Carly.

Carly: Tell me what it's like?

Sonny: Carly, don't get worked up over nothing. We put a guard on Robin.

Carly: Why? She doesn't have anything to do with you anymore.

Sonny: She used to.

Carly: So?

Sonny: People can use her to get to us.

Carly: I don't believe it. After what she pulled, you still want to protect her?

Sonny: Let's not get into this.

Jason: I'm going to go (he walks out)

Carly: So you're not going to talk to me about Robin?

Sonny: Not when you're like this.

Carly: Like what.

Sonny: Like this. What are you mad at?

Carly: I can't stand how you pretend nothing happened. She betrayed you.

Sonny: No Carly. Robin betrayed Jason. Not me.

Carly: But Jason is your best friend.

Sonny: And so was Robin

Carly: I don't believe this. I can't believe you're letting her do this again.

Sonny: Do what Carly? I haven't talked to Robin. She doesn't want anything to do with me. She hasn't done anything.

Carly: Then why are you like this?

Sonny: Like what? I'm not the one walking around accusing people of things. Why are so scared of Robin?

Carly: I'm not scared of Robin. I can't stand how everyone in this town step around her.

Sonny: Are you jealous of that?

Carly: Of that saint? No

Sonny: It's sound like you are. You need to get over it.

Carly: I don't want her in our lives.

Sonny: That's not your decision to make.

Carly: What are you saying Sonny?

Sonny: Look, I don't want to fight about this.

Carly: I don't either. Let's take Michael out Christmas shopping.

Sonny: That's sound like an idea.

Setting: Mac's house

Robin: (picks up the ringing phone) Scorpio resident.

Voice: I'm looking for Robin Scorpio.

Robin: (recognizes the voice) Dr. Deneuve?

Voice: Robin?

Robin: Yes. How are you Dr. Deneuve?

Dr. Deneuve: I'm well. How's Port Charles?

Robin: It's beautiful but not as beautiful as Paris.

Dr. Deneuve: Well, Paris misses you. The hospital isn't the same without you.

Robin: Thank you. Is something wrong? Not that I'm not glad that you called.

Dr. Deneuve: I wanted to see how you are adjusting to the States.

Robin: I've only been a here a day. So far it's great. Is there something else? (wondering why the head of an hospital department would be calling)

Dr. Deneuve: Robin, there's been people asking questions about you.

Robin: What people? What kind of questions?

Dr. Deneuve: They say they're with the newspaper doing an article on American medical students. But it didn't feel right with some of the questions they were asking.

Robin: How so?

Dr. Deneuve: Well, they asked who paid your expenses, who you come in contact with, how you know Luis Alcazar, if you have a lot of visitors.

Robin: (understands what Dr. Deneuve was getting at) Thank Dr. Deneuve for letting me know. I'm sorry they bothered the hospital.

Dr. Deneuve: Not at all. I was happy to talk about you until the awkward questions.

Robin: Thank you for your kindness. You and the hospital have been really good to me.

Dr. Deneuve: No thanks needed. Let me know how you progress with your residency.

Robin: I will. Bye Dr. Deneuve.

Dr. Deneuve: Bye Robin

Robin hangs up the phone. Who would be asking about her and Luis? Then she remembers Sonny and Jason asking about Luis. How dare them pry into my business? What nerve! She was getting mad as she grabbed her purse and coat. When she opened the door to leave, she finds Brenda.

Brenda: Robin. Where are you going?

Robin: I needed to do an errand. But it can wait. Come in (they hug each other) So, what's the news?

Brenda: Oh, Robin. You're never going to believe this (smiles at Robin)

Robin: What? Tell me.

Brenda: I'm not dying. Julia told me that my mom paid the doctors to lie.

Robin: Brenda. That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you (she gives Brenda another hug)

Brenda: God, can you believe it? I'm going to live. I don't have to be scare anymore.

Robin: When did you find out? How?

Brenda: Last week. Jax. I guess Skye was prying about my disease and he caught her. Anyway, he decided to get to the bottom of it. He called Julia for help.

Robin: Julia is here?

Brenda: She's going to stay for a while. I've been so wrong about her. She gave up so much for me.

Robin: Well now you have all the time in the world to make up for lost time.

Brenda: Yes we do. I'm so happy Robin.

Robin: You should be. You got your life back.

Brenda: I feel like I got this second chance. I don't want to make any mistakes.

Robin: Don't think like that Brenda. You live the best way you know how.

Brenda: You always know the right thing to say. I'm so glad you're here.

Robin: I am too. You're still not going away are you?

Brenda: No. What for? But Jax did ask me to go away with me.

Robin: What did you say?

Brenda: I guess I said yes. He asked me right after Julia told me the news. I was so happy I would've said yes to anything.

Robin: You don't want to go with Jax?

Brenda: Robin, he's married. I can't break up his marriage. He loves Skye.

Robin: He loves you too.

Brenda: I don't know.

Robin: He loves you, I know. How can you doubt that?

Brenda: I left him. I can't expect him to go back to me just because I'm not dying.

Robin: How do you know he doesn't want you? I saw how he grieved for you. He came to Paris because he thought you were alive. I think in his heart, he never believed that you died.

Brenda: When I saw him get shot, I was so devastated. I couldn't stand the thought of not seeing his face again. I couldn't protect him. It was because of me that he got shot.

Robin: Brenda, that's in the past. Jax doesn't blame you. And you shouldn't blame yourself. Someone said, everything happens for a reason. Maybe, seeing Jax get shot confirmed how much you love him.

Brenda: I love him, Robin. But I don't know. I watched him married Skye. He was happy.

Robin: Only because he thought you were dead. Do you think he would marry Skye if you were sitting in the pew?

Brenda: You're right.

Robin: Oh? I'm right? (laughing at Brenda)

Brenda: Ha Ha. Funny Robin (laughs) I'm really glad I have you again.

Robin: You always have me. So are you going to go talk to Jax?

Brenda: Yes. Thank you for listening to me.

Robin: You're welcome. Now, go (Robin urges Brenda to the front door)

Brenda: Robin, Jason asked about you while you were gone (she looks at Robin for any reaction)

Robin: (a little surprise) Oh?

Brenda: (with a little mischievous smile) We talked about you. I think he was a little sad that you left for Paris.

Robin: (thinking) How did he know I left?

Brenda: (smiles wider seeing Robin's reaction to Jason's name) I don't know. I didn't tell him. Ok. I'm going to go. Bye (hugs Robin and leaves)

Robin was still thinking about what Brenda said. Why was Jason asking about her? Why would he care where she lived? She shakes her head as if to clear her thoughts. Now, what was I doing? Ah. She remembers.

Setting: Kelly's

Emily: Thank you for going shopping for me.

Liz: No problem. I had stuff to buy too.

Emily: You really think Nicholas will like the sweater I got him?

Liz: (wondering why Emily was nervous about Nicholas' gift) Yes. It's beautiful. I hope I bought the right kind of lenses for Lucky.

Emily: They guy at the store said every photographer need that set.

Liz: I hope he likes it.

Emily: You and Lucky have been getting close.

Liz: (smiles) Yes. It seems like we're always with each other except when we're working.

Emily: I'm happy for you. Lucky is a great guy.

Liz: Yes. He is. How's Zander?

Emily: Fine (she hesitate) I guess

Liz: Emily?

Emily: I don't know. It's weird. I don't feel as comfortable with him like I used to. It's like I don't know him.

Liz: That's understandable. You haven't seen him for a couple of years.

Emily: I know. It's just weird.

Liz: What's weird?

Emily: Before, I had all these butterflies in my stomach when I saw Zander. I never wanted him to leave. That's how Grandfather caught him. I don't have that feeling when I see him now. I don't have that anxiety, the flutter, and the excitement.

Liz: I know what you mean. That's how I felt with Lucky toward the end of our relationship. I almost dreaded seeing him. Now that I'm getting to know him again, I can't wait to hear his voice. I get butterflies in my stomach when I think he's going to kiss me. That's probably it, Emily. Maybe, you need to know Zander again.

Emily: Yeah, that must be it (she thinks about what Liz said)

Nicholas: Hi Liz. Hi Emily.

Liz: Nicholas, where did you come from? We didn't see you come in.

Nicholas: I was helping Bobbie in the back. What are you girls up to? Shopping I see.

Liz: (notices Nicholas looking at Emily and how quiet Emily has gotten) We were Christmas shopping.

Nicholas: Anything for me?

Liz: (smiles) Emily bought you something.

Nicholas: (looks at Emily) Can I see it?

Emily: (blushes a little) It's your Christmas present. You can't have it yet.

Liz: Yes Nicholas. I bought you something too but not as nice as Emily.

Nicholas: That means I have to go shopping. Care to tell me what you want for Christmas?

Liz: (smiles as Emily shakes her head) We're not going to make it easy for you. But something expensive and pretty would be nice.

Nicholas: Something expensive and pretty. Big help Elizabeth.

Liz: I try. You guys want some hot chocolate?

Emily & Nicholas: Sure

Liz: I'll go and get some.

Nicholas: Have you finished your Christmas shopping?

Emily: The important ones are done.

Nicholas: I feel honored that you already bought mine.

Emily: Nicholas, you're important to me. I wouldn't wait until the last minute to buy your gift (she blushes when she realized what she just said)

Nicholas: (smiles at Emily's blush) Actually, I already have your gift.

Emily: (surprise) You do? What is it?

Nicholas: Emily, Christmas is not for another a couple of weeks.

Emily: But I can't wait until Christmas.

Nicholas: I'll make you a deal. How about we exchange gift on Christmas Eve?

Emily: Christmas Eve?

Nicholas: We'll decide on place and we can exchange gifts.

Emily: I like that.

Liz: (returning with their hot chocolates) Like what?

Emily: (a little flustered by Liz's question) I was telling Nicholas that I'd like whatever he gives me (she shyly looks at Nicholas)

Nicholas: Thanks for the hot chocolate. But I have to go. Bye.

Liz: Oh, ok. Bye (she notices Emily looking a little blushed. She smiles) Nicholas is a great guy.

Emily: This hot chocolate is good.

Liz: Yeah (she noticed Emily changing the subject. Very interesting, Liz thought)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse.

Sonny: That was some shopping. I don't think there's anything left at the store.

Michael: I love my new toys, Daddy.

Sonny: Your welcome buddy.

Carly: I like my new stuff too.

Sonny: I bet (he smiles)

Outside the penthouse, Robin gets off the elevator. Gosh, it's weird being here again, she thought. Let's get this over with.

Robin: Hi Johnny.

Johnny: Miss Scorpio. How are you?

Robin: I'm fine. How about you? I go by Mrs. Cates now.

Johnny: You're back in town?

Robin: Yes. I am.

Johnny: I'm glad. Are you here to see Mr. Corinthos?

Robin: Yes. Is he in?

Johnny: Let me take you in (Johnny opens the door) Mrs. Cates (Sonny, Carly, Michael look at Robin)

Carly: (mad that Robin is there) What are you doing here?

Robin: (in a calm stern voice) I'm here to see Sonny.

Carly: Well, he doesn't want to see you.

Sonny: Carly (he interrupts her) What can I do for you Robin?

Robin: You want to do this in front of your family?

Michael: Daddy, who is this?

Sonny: (takes Michael's hand) Michael, don't you remember Robin? She used to take care of you.

Robin: (bends down to Michael) Hi Michael. You've gotten so big.

Carly: (reaches to pull Michael away from Robin) Stay away from my son.

Sonny: Carly, why don't you take Michael upstairs?

Carly: Sonny.

Sonny: Carly, please (Carly gives Robin a dirty look and walks off with Michael) What can I do for you?

Robin: (gives Sonny a disgusted look) How are dare you insinuate yourself into my life?

Sonny: Robin, what are you talking about?

Robin: Don't be coy Sonny. I know you sent people digging into my background.

Sonny: Sweetheart, let me...

Robin: (interrupts Sonny) Don't call me that. What part did you not understand when I said to stay away from me?

Sonny: I'm trying to protect you.

Robin: Did I ask you? You have a lot of nerve. You kicked me out of your life and now you try to protect me.

Sonny: I told you I didn't mean it, Robin.

Robin: I don't care that you didn't mean it. You can't expect everything to be all right because it's convenient for you. I'm telling you one last time. Stay out of my life.

Sonny: Robin.

Robin: I can make your life difficult.

Sonny: Are you threatening me?

Robin: I'll do what I have to, to keep you out of my life.

Sonny: Please Robin.

Robin: Call off the guard also. I won't ask again (she turns and leave)

Sonny is astounded by Robin's attitude. He throws a cup across at the fireplace. Outside, Robin said goodbye to Johnny. She waits for the elevator. The elevator opens to reveal Jason. They look at each other. Jason is shocked to see Robin.

Robin: Are you going to get out? (still angry from her encounter with Sonny)

Jason: (surprised by Robin's voice) Um...yes. Robin? (he walks out the elevator and continues to look at Robin)

Robin: Not now (she gets in the elevator and push the button to close the door)

Jason: (shakes his head) Johnny, was Robin here to see me?

Johnny: No. She came to see Mr. Corinthos.

Jason: (walking through Sonny's door) Robin was here?

Sonny: Yeah (a little distracted)

Jason: What did she want?

Sonny: She found out about the background check and the guard.

Jason: Oh.

Sonny: Oh is right. She was mad.

Jason: What did she say?

Sonny: She told me to stay out of her life. She threatened me.

Jason: She threatened you?

Sonny: She said she could make my life difficult.

Jason: I can't believe it. What do you want to do?

Sonny: Call off the guard. We'll do what she wants for now.

Setting: The docks.

Robin is sitting on the bench thinking about her encounter with Sonny. She's obviously still annoyed. Who does he think he is? She takes a couple of deep breaths. I'm not going to let them get to me. She takes a couple of more deep breaths.

Alcazar: Robin?

Robin: (she smiles at Luis) Luis. Hi.

Alcazar: Why are you sitting here in the cold?

Robin: Simmering off.

Alcazar: Excuse me?

Robin: I just had an argument with someone. I'm trying to cool off.

Alcazar: What have you so upset?

Robin: I don't want to talk about. I rather talk about you.

Alcazar: What do you want to know?

Robin: Why you're here in Port Charles.

Alcazar: Oh my Robin. I don't know where to start.

Robin: At the beginning?

Alcazar: (he thinks for a moment, not knowing where to start) I started out trying to do a good deed but somewhere along the line I lost track of that.

Robin: What were you trying to do?

Alcazar: I'm not sure I should tell you. I don't want you to be disappointed.

Robin: Please Luis. Nothing you say can change how I feel about you.

Alcazar: How do you feel about me?

Robin: I'm grateful to you.

Alcazar: I don't want your gratitude.

Robin: Let me finish. I care about you. When you left the hospital without saying goodbye, I was really hurt and sad. You gave me so much happiness during a really bad time in my life. When I didn't see you again, I felt a piece of my heart was missing. I missed you.

Alcazar: My Robin. It was so hard for me to walk away from you. But I thought it was for the best.

Robin: But why?

Alcazar: You had so much pain in your life. I didn't want to add to it.

Robin: But you didn't. You couldn't. I was happy when I was with you.

Alcazar: My life would have brought you pain.

Robin: What are you talking about?

Alcazar: There were reasons why I never spoke of my life. I've done and do things that I'm not proud of.

Robin: We all have Luis. Look at me.

Alcazar: It's not the same. You were the first person to see me for myself. You didn't treat me different because of what I do for a living. You didn't need me my money, my power. I dont want you to hate me.

Robin: I can never hate you. You gave me so much.

Alcazar: If you know some of things I've done, you could hate me.

Robin: Why don't you tell me and let me decide that.

Alcazar: I'm known as an international arms dealer.

Robin: You think I hate you for that?

Alcazar: That's not all. My line of business is dangerous. I've had to kill people. I tried to kill someone recently.

Robin: I don't know what to say (she looks sad and disappointed)

Alcazar: This is why I didn't tell you about my life. I didn't want to see the expression on your face.

Robin: You just took me by surprise. Look, I'm not judging you. I'm in no position to judge anyone. Listen, I have skeletons in my closets too. My stepfather was the head of a mafia. I dated someone who was the right hand to the mob boss. My ex-best friend is the local mob guy.

Alcazar: (he looks at Robin. Not sure if he heard her correctly) Who is this local mob guy?

Robin: Sonny Corinthos. He used to be my best friend.

Alcazar: (shocked by Robin's answer) What? I don't understand. You never mentioned him.

Robin: Sonny kicked me out of his life because he felt I betrayed Jason. I haven't considered Sonny a friend for a long time.

Alcazar. (realizing she's talking about Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan) Oh my Robin. You should know I tried to kill Sonny Corinthos.

Robin: What? Why? (shocked by what Luis just said)

Alcazar: Will you let me explain it all to you?

Robin: I'm listening (a little calmer)

Alcazar: Before I sustained my head injury, I was in Port Charles. I had some business to take care of. As the yacht was leaving the coast, I saw a body floating in the water. We stopped and rescued the person. She was close to death but we were able to revive her. When she woke up, she didn't have any memory. She did slowly regain her memory over time. It took a while for her to trust me. She did started talking about her life and how she'll miss it. I told her that I would take her back to her family. But she was adamant that she didn't want to go back. She explained that she had a disease that will soon take over her life. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone. I did some research on her disease and found a doctor. Dr. Lamier was the top in his profession. I left her there under his care. During this time, was when I sustained my head injury. After I left you, I went to visit her. She didn't want to stay at the clinic anymore. She said she didn't want to spend her life in a hospital. So we started traveling together. After some time, I started to develop feelings for her. She was so different from anyone, from you. She lived so in the moment, she was irrational, overzealous, and unpredictable. Being with her helped me forget about you. I guess over time I fell in love with her. I wanted to protect her from pain, make her happy, and keep her with me. But then she started talking about her past, her family, her friends, her love. She was at a crossroad. She wanted to see them but she didn't want their pity. I did take her to see her sister but not anyone else. Her past had this pull on her. It was like she was fighting it inside her head. I was worried about her. I saw how much pain she was in. So, I decided to take her past away.

Robin: (interrupting Luis) What do you mean?

Alcazar: I didn't want to lose her and I couldn't bear to see her in pain. I went about eliminating the people she thought was important to her.

Robin: You were going to kill them?

Alcazar: No, not at first. I just wanted to ruin them financially, personally. I wanted to make them unworthy of her. But things went bad. Things started to go wrong, out of control. Someone died. By then I felt I was losing her. She started to do things like trying to contact the people she said she didn't want to see. I lost it. I couldn't lose her. So I went after the men she loved. I tried to have them kill.

Robin: Oh Luis.

Alcazar: She found out about my plan and left me. I was devastated and angry. I did everything for her and she left me. But I couldn't let it dropped. I went to try to kill them myself and get her back. I was successful with one. Then I went after her other love. She wouldn't let me kill him. She covered him with her body. But I did manage to shoot him. In return, I was shot by her other love, the one I thought I successfully killed.

Robin: (Robin covers her mouth, when she realized how familiar the story sound. She started crying) You tried to kill Jax.

Alcazar: Yes.

Robin: Oh my god (more tears run down Robin's cheeks) You tried to keep Brenda. What have you done?

Alcazar: I had my reasons.

Robin: (looking at Luis astounded, almost yelling) Brenda is my best friend, my sister.

Alcazar: What? How can that be? She never mentioned you (he looks bewildered)

Robin: God, what have I done?

Alcazar: Robin, you haven't done anything. I did. You didn't know anything (he gently shakes Robin's shoulders)

Robin: God Luis, do you know how much pain and heartaches you've caused? Do you? (crying and yelling at Luis)

Alcazar: I'm sorry that I'm causing you pain. I wanted to avoid this. I wanted to protect you from more pain (he's crushed to see Robin crying)

Robin: You failed.

Alcazar: Robin (he reaches for Robin. But she steps back from him)

Robin: I can't. You tried to kill people who I love with my life.

Alcazar: Robin, I didn't know.

Robin: That doesn't change the facts. I can't be with you (she looks at Luis one last time and leaves)

Alcazar: Robin (he calls out to her. But she didn't turn around or stop. He looks sad watching her walk away from him)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse.

Carly: Michael finally fell asleep.

Sonny: It's must all the toys.

Carly: Yeah. You spoiled him.

Sonny: Can't help it. I like spoiling the people I love.

Carly: Want to spoil me (she moves closer to Sonny and kisses Sonny on the neck)

Sonny: What did you have in mind?

Carly: Oh, I don't know (she moves to kiss Sonny's ear)

Sonny: Michael's asleep?

Carly: Out cold (she kisses Sonny's lips)

Sonny: I think you need your rest too

Carly: I don't want to rest.

Sonny: I mean after (he leads Carly upstairs)

Setting: Robin's room later that night

Robin is lying in her bed. Her mind keeps going over what Luis told her. She can't believe that he was capable of all that. He caused so much pain for Brenda and Jax. God, how am I going to face them? What am I going to say? God Luis, how can you be capable of this. Her mind drifts back to when Luis was at the hospital

Robin: I don't deserve this life. Caitlin was taken away from me like I kept Michael from his father. Caitlin paid for my mistake (coughing and trying to take some breaths)

Luis: (he softly taps Robin's back) Don't say that. Caitlin's death is not your fault.

Robin: (crying) But it's my fault that I didn't protect her while she was inside me.

Luis: Oh my Robin. You did when you found out about Caitlin. Listen to me. Fate or God, if you believe in one does not work on payback. You are a good person. You made a mistake. And you tried to rectify it. No one can ask more of you. Most people would never admit their mistake let alone try to correct it. But you did. You didn't make excuses. You admit that you were wrong.

Robin: It took me a year to tell the truth.

Luis: (with a soft smile) Like they say, better late than never. Look Robin, what happened to Caitlin is horrible and devastating. But it's not your fault. Caitlin died because her lungs and brain were underdeveloped. It wasn't fate or God's wrath that cause her lungs to collapse. It was medical science. You know this. You're going to be a doctor. Are you going to assume it's payback when a surgery goes wrong or when you lose a patient in the future?

Robin: I don't know.

Luis: Robin, when will this payback end? Does God's wrath have no end? Are you going to keep paying for the rest of your life? Think logically, Robin. Caitlin died because of medical reason not as punishment to you. What you did was wrong, you admit it, you corrected your mistake and you did pay. You lost the man that you loved. I think that's enough, don't you? (he lifts Robin's chin up and tenderly smiles at her)

Robin: Thank you. I'm sorry you had to find me this way.

Luis: I'm glad I got to you in time. Please Robin. Don't ever do this again. I don't know what I would do if I lost you.

Robin: I'm really embarrassed but I'm glad that you found me. Thank you for helping me

Luis: My Robin. I'm actually very selfish. I can't see myself living without you.

Robin: (blushes at Luis' compliment) Thank you all the same. I think I'm going to go home and clean up. I'll come back to see you later (she hugs Luis)

Luis: I'll be waiting for you (he kisses the top of her head and releases her).

Robin wipes her tears. She wouldn't be here now if Luis didn't find her. He helped her through her grief. He made her want to live again. How can he be so kind to her and cruel to others? Why can I still feel so strongly for him knowing what he's done? What am I going to? Robin finally fell asleep with tears running down her face.

Setting: Jax's hotel suite.

Jax: (opening the door to Robin) Hi Robin (he gives her a hug)

Robin: Hi, is Brenda here with you?

Jax: Yes, come in.

Brenda: Robin. You're here early (she noticed Robin looks upset) Robin, what's wrong?

Robin: I have to talk to you, both of you.

Jax: Come sit down (he leads her to the couch. He sits down next to Brenda)

Brenda: Robin, what is it? You don't look so good.

Robin: I had a rough night. I don't know how to tell you this.

Jax: What is it, Robin?

Robin: I know Luis Alcazar.

Brenda: Jason said something about that. I didn't want to pry and ask you about him. How do you know him?

Robin: I met him at the hospital. He came in with a head injury.

Jax: Go on, Robin (coaxing Robin to continue)

Robin: After Caitlin passed away, I was very depressed. I started volunteering at the hospital to keep myself busy. Luis was admitted with head injury and temporary blindness. He was one of the patients I was assigned to. I helped him with his recovery.

Jax: Were you close to him?

Robin: We grew close to each other. We both lost something. I guess we bonded through that connection. He found me during my attempt at suicide.

Brenda: Oh my God, Robin. You attempted suicide?

Robin: Yes. I didn't see any reasons to live. I lost everything, Caitlin, Jason. I felt really guilty about Caitlin's death. I felt I didn't deserve to live.

Brenda: Robin, Caitlin's death wasn't your fault.

Robin: I know that now. It was Luis who made me understand it wasn't my fault, that I wasn't being punished with Caitlin's death for lying about Michael.

Jax: He's right Robin.

Robin: Thank you (she smiles a little) I don't know if I would have made it through those months without Luis. He pushed me back to school. He helped me get a part-time job at the hospital. He made me grieve for Caitlin. He wouldn't let me quit living. It felt so wonderful to have someone cared for me again. He didn't judge me or ask questions. He didn't expect anything from me. He just listened.

Brenda: That sounds like Luis.

Robin: I didn't know he tried to kill you Jax until last night. No one said anything to me.

Jax: How did you find out?

Robin: Luis.

Brenda: Luis told you?

Robin: Yes. He never talked about his past. I didn't push him. Last night, I pushed and he told me everything.

Brenda: Wow. I can't believe my little Robin is the love of an international arms dealer.

Robin: I'm not the love of his life. Nothing happened between us. When he regained his vision he left without saying goodbye.

Brenda: Robin, he talked about you. He said he left because he didn't want to cause you any more pain.

Robin: Why does everyone insist on trying to protect me?

Jax: Because we love you.

Robin: Look where it got us. You were shot. Sonny was shot.

Jax: Robin, that had nothing to do with you. You didn't know anything.

Robin: Now I do. What am I suppose to with that? I feel so ashamed sitting here with you.

Brenda: Don't you dare feel ashamed! You did nothing wrong. You're my little sister. Nothing can make me stop loving you.

Jax: Brenda is right. You didn't know and you weren't even here.

Robin: And that makes everything better?

Brenda: Stop being so hard on yourself. Luis did this not you. You just know him.

Robin: I don't know.

Brenda: Listen. I'm mad has hell at Luis but I'm still grateful for him. If it wasn't for him, I would probably be dead. Now I'm even more grateful to him because he was there for you. What Luis did was wrong, but it's done. We have to move beyond that.

Robin: I don't know if I can. He kept you away from the people you love. He tried to kill Jax.

Jax: Robin. Listen to Brenda. What's done is done. I'm fine. Brenda is safe. We need to move on with our lives.

Robin: What do I do with my feelings for Luis?

Brenda: What are your feelings for Luis?

Robin: I don't know. I care for him. It's like he's a part of me because of what we went through together. I was really happy when I saw him again. Now, I'm just confused.

Jax: That's understandable. You found Luis has a past. You don't know how to deal with that. But Robin, don't let what happened interfere with your feelings for Luis. One doesn't dictate the other.

Robin: I don't know if I can separate it. He tried to hurt the people that I love.

Brenda: Robin, he didn't know you had a connection to us. I can't believe I'm going to say this BUT I think if Luis knew none of this would have happened.

Robin: How did this happen? I came here to ask for your forgiveness and here you are trying to make me feel better.

Brenda: Silly, you don't need forgiveness. You didn't do anything wrong.

Jax: Listen Robin. Brenda and I are getting past this which means that Luis failed. Life needs to go on.

Robin: Does this mean you are back together? (she smiles at Jax and Brenda)

Jax: We're getting there. I filed for divorce.

Robin: I'm sorry.

Jax: Don't be. I can't stay married to Skye.

Robin: It can't be easy for you. I know you love her.

Jax: I do but I can't live with lies. Besides I can't start building a future with Brenda if I'm still married to Skye.

Brenda: You want to build a future with me? (she smiles at Jax)

Jax: Yes, I was hoping to.

Robin: I'm so happy for you both. I'm glad something good came out of this.

Jax: Yup, I got Brenda back.

Brenda: And I found out I'm not dying.

Robin: Well I'll leave you 2 alone.

Brenda: You don't have to leave.

Robin: Yeah, right. Bye (she hugs Brenda, Jax and leaves)

Jax: Do you think she going to be ok?

Brenda: I hope so. I wonder what she's going to do about Luis.

Jax: I hope she stays away from him.

Brenda: That's not what you said earlier.

Jax: It has to be her decision. I don't know whose worst? Jason or Luis.

Brenda: Jax!

Setting: Mac's office

Mac: Anna, will you consider taking a job here?

Anna: What were you thinking?

Mac: I'm kind of worry now that Baldwin is DA. A lot of stuff seems to get done under the table. Will you consider heading up the investigation department?

Anna: What about you?

Mac: I'm just spread so thin. I'm wrapped up in paperwork and meeting. I just don't have the time required.

Anna: I'll think about it.

Mac: How's the apartment hunting coming along?

Anna: I think I found something. It's not too far from the station.

Mac: When are you moving in?

Anna: Trying to get rid of me?

Mac: Of course not. I know you wanted to get your own place.

Anna: I did. I do.

Mac: You don't want to move out?

Anna: I like spending time with Robin. And you.

Mac: Then why don't you stay? I like having you around.

Anna: I'm around all the time.

Mac: Do you hear my complaining?

Anna: You're too much of a gentleman to say anything.

Mac: Well maybe you can hold of...

Robin: Uncle Mac? (poking her head through the door) Mom. What are you doing here?

Anna: Robin. I'm helping Mac.

Robin: I need to talk to you.

Mac: What's wrong Robin?

Robin: You're not going to believe what I have to tell you.

Anna: Honey, what is it?

Robin: I know Luis Alcazar

Mac: WHAT?

Anna: Mac. Calm down. How do you know Luis Alcazar?

Robin: I met him at the hospital in Paris.

Mac: He tracked you to Paris?

Robin: No Uncle Mac. I was helping him recover from head injury.

Mac: I don't believe it.

Anna: Honey, why don't you start from the beginning

Robin: I was volunteering at the hospital when Luis checked in with head injury. He was temporary blind and I helped him.

Mac: Is that all?

Robin: He was very important to me. He saved me from my suicide attempt

Anna: Robin, you attempted suicide?

Robin: Yes, after Caitlin passed away. I felt really guilty. I didn't feel I was worthy of life. Luis found me.

Anna: Oh honey, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

Robin: Mom, don't be sorry. I didn't want anybody around me. That's why I didn't want you to come to Paris after Caitlin passed away, Uncle Mac. I think I bonded with Luis because he didn't know anything about me. He didn't have an opinion of me. He just knew me as the girl who's helping him through his injury.

Mac: I guess then we're grateful to Luis.

Robin: I am too. He did so much for me. He made me go to school again. He got me a job at the hospital. He didn't ask anything in return. He was just Luis with no past. He never talked about himself.

Mac: This is a lot to take.

Robin: I know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I didn't know anything until Luis told me last night. I would have told earlier today but I had to go see Brenda and Jax.

Anna: Jax. What happened?

Robin: They were both kind. They said I wasn't responsible for Luis' actions.

Mac: Brenda and Jax are right. You're not responsible.

Robin: That doesn't make feel any better. I still feel guilty.

Anna: Honey, you're being too hard on yourself.

Robin: I can't help it.

Mac: Robin, I can't change how you feel but it's not warranted. You are not responsible for other people's actions. You are only responsible for your own.

Anna: Mac's right. If we were responsible for other people's action, I would never be able to crawl out of bed in the morning.

Robin: Mom

Anna: I caused a lot of pain to people in the past. No, I didn't do anything. But other people took actions because of me or for me.

Robin: Mom. It's not the same thing.

Anna: Yes, it is. You don't think that I've considered if it wasn't for me your father would be still be alive? Mac would have his brother. If Faison didn't know me, where would we be today?

Robin: Mom, please don't say that. I thank God every day for you.

Anna: But do you understand what I am saying?

Robin: Yes

Mac: What are you going to do about Luis?

Robin: I don't know. I haven thought about it.

Mac: Will you be careful?

Robin: Luis wouldn't hurt me but I will be careful. I think I'm going to get some fresh air. I'll see you at home later.

Anna: Bye honey (She hugs Robin)

Mac: Call if you need anything (Robin leaves) I worry about her.

Anna: I do too.

Mac: (he takes Anna's hands) I thank God everyday for you too.

Anna: Mac (she has tears in her eyes. They embrace each other)

Setting: Kelly's

Gia: So what do you want to do about Christmas?

Nicholas: I don't know.

Gia: Why don't we have a party?

Nicholas: No. I don't think I'm up for. I need a little down time. It seems like we've been tacking one thing after another.

Gia: I know. That's why need to celebrate.

Nicholas: I don't know. Let me think about it.

Gia: Well, you want to go Christmas shopping with me? (Alexis and Ned approaches their table)

Alexis: Hi Nicholas. Hi Gia.

Nicholas: Alexis. Ned. Sit down.

Gia: Wow, you look glowing Alexis. You must be doing something right, Ned.

Ned: I try.

Alexis: Stop it. Ned and I decided on a wedding date.

Nicholas: When?

Alexis: This Saturday

Gia: This Saturday. That's only 3 days away.

Ned: That's correct.

Nicholas: That's great.

Gia: But we can't plan a wedding in 3 days.

Alexis: That's the whole idea.

Nicholas: Where's is it going to be at?

Ned: Grandmother would like us to have it at Quatermaine's garden.

Gia: At least it's beautiful there. I have so much to do.

Alexis: Wait a minute. We don't want this to be a lavish affair. We just want a small intimate gathering with a few friends and relative.

Ned: Alexis get cold feet in front of a crowd.

Alexis: I do not

Gia: Well, I'm almost a relative. I want to help. What haven't you done?

Alexis: The cake, flowers, dress, guest list...

Gia: (interrupts) You haven't done anything.

Ned: We came up with a date.

Nicholas: That's important.

Gia: Very funny. This means I have to get started. Who's going to stand up for you?

Ned: I was going to ask AJ

Alexis: Gia, will you stand up for me?

Gia: I'd be honor.

Alexis: Nicholas, will you give me away.

Nicholas: Gladly.

Alexis: Hey!

Robin: (interrupting) Hello everyone.

Nicholas: (he smiles at Robin) Hi Robin. Want to sit down?

Robin: No. I was hoping to speak to Ned and Alexis alone.

Ned: Of course, let's go over here (he, Alexis and Robin head over to a corner table)

Alexis: What can we do for you Robin?

Robin: I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for Kristina's death. I didn't know her but I know must you love her. I wanted to apologize.

Ned: Apologize? For what?

Robin: I know Luis Alcazar.

Alexis: What? How?

Robin: I met him at the hospital in Paris. I helped him recover from head injury.

Ned: Why are you apologizing?

Robin: Mac told me that Luis was responsible for Kristina's death. I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to say (tears falling down her cheeks)

Alexis: Robin. It's not your fault. You weren't responsible. You didn't know.

Robin: But I knew Luis. I could have stopped it.

Ned: I don't so. No one knew Kristina was going to be at the warehouse. Luis set the bomb as a message to Sonny.

Robin: I still feel guilty.

Alexis: Don't. I don't blame you and neither does Ned. You just happen to know Luis. You're not responsible for his actions.

Ned: Robin, how do you feel about Luis.

Robin: I owe him my life. He was there for me during a very bad time in my life.

Alexis: Robin, please be careful. He's dangerous as you know.

Robin: Thank you for your understanding. I'm going to get going.

Ned: Bye Robin (watches Robin get up from the table)

Robin: Bye Nicholas. Bye Gia.

Nicholas: (concerned) Robin, are you alright?

Robin: I'm fine (she leaves)

Nicholas: She doesn't look alright. I'm going to talk to her.

Gia: Nicholas, she said she was fine. Leave her alone.

Nicholas: I can't. She's my friend (he leaves to follow Robin) Robin, Robin!

Robin: Nicholas. What are you doing?

Nicholas: You look upset. What's wrong?

Robin: Thank you for caring but should you be with Gia

Nicholas: You're my friend. I don't like to see you upset. I'm great listener.

Robin: I remember. Let's walk (they start walking along the docks) I owe you an apology.

Nicholas: For what?

Robin: Kristina.

Nicholas: I don't understand why you're apologizing.

Robin: I know Luis Alcazar.

Nicholas: How?

Robin: I met him at the hospital in Paris.

Nicholas: I still don't understand where you're going with this, Robin.

Robin: I care for someone who killed your aunt.

Nicholas: That doesn't make you responsible for Kristina's death.

Robin: If I knew Luis was in Port Charles I might have been able to stop him.

Nicholas: Don't play the If game Robin. Luis didn't mean to kill Kristina. He didn't know she was going to be at the warehouse.

Robin: That doesn't make me feel less guilty.

Nicholas: There's no reason for you to feel guilty. Alcazar and Sonny are responsible not you.

Robin: Why are you so understanding?

Nicholas: You know I am right. Do you feel better?

Robin: Thank you for listening.

Nicholas: Are you all settle in?

Robin: No. I haven't unpacked very much. I have so much stuff. I don't know what to do with all of it.

Nicholas: Well let me know if you need any help.

Robin: I will. I better let you get back to Gia.

Nicholas: Ok. I'll see you later.

Robin: Bye (she watches Nicholas walk away)

Setting: Kelly's the next day.

Robin: Thank you for helping pick out Ned and Alexis' present.

Emily: You're welcome. Are you going to come?

Robin: I don't think so.

Emily: Are you sure? Grandfather would love to see you.

Robin: I would feel weird being there

Alcazar: Robin (Robin turns around and see Luis)

Emily: I'll wait for you inside.

Robin: Thanks Emily. What do you want Luis?

Luis: My Robin. You don't want to see me anymore?

Robin: I don't know what I want Luis.

Luis: Who's the wedding present for?

Robin: Ned and Alexis. I have to go.

Luis: Please Robin. What do I have to do?

Robin: I don't know. You tried to hurt the people I love. I don't know if I can forget that. It doesn't seem like you have any remorse about what you did. You're not the same person I once knew.

Luis: I'm the same person, my Robin. I'm sorry that I hurt you.

Robin: What about the people you caused pain to?

Luis: What can I say?

Robin: Nothing. I can't be with you right now (she walks inside Kelly's. Luis achingly watch Robin walk away)

Setting: Jason's Penthouse the next day.

Brenda: (walking in the door) Do you have your suit ready? (Hanging up her coat in the closet)

Jason: What do I need my suit for?

Brenda: Ned and Alexis wedding.

Jason: I'm not going

Brenda: Yes you are

Jason: No, I'm not.

Brenda: Then whom am I going to go with?

Jason: Jax.

Brenda: Nope. He's taking Julia.

Jason: I'm still not going.

Brenda: Ned needs you there. Lila will wonder why you're not there.

Jason: Grandmother won't know I'm not there.

Brenda: Yes, she will. Fine, you call her and tell her you're not coming.

Jason: Fine, I'll go

Setting: Nicholas's house.

Gia: I'm really excited about this wedding.

Nicholas: I think you're more excited than Ned and Alexis.

Gia: Alexis is excited. She just doesn't like all the attention. Besides, I know how much she loves Ned.

Nicholas: I'm glad they found each other. I always thought they were good together.

Gia: So, you never said what you wanted to do about Christmas.

Nicholas: Nothing. I just want a nice quiet evening.

Gia: That's so boring, Nicholas.

Nicholas: You can spend it with Taggert and your mom. I don't mind.

Gia: But I don't want you to be all alone.

Nicholas: I won't be. I'll visit Lulu.

Gia: Ok, maybe I'll do that. I haven't seen them for a while.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly: (picks the ringing phone) Hello?

Voice: --

Carly: This is Carly Corinthos.

Voice: --

Carly: What do you mean a mistake?

Voice: --

Carly: Do the test again! (she yells into the phone)

Voice: --

Carly: No, I don't want you to say anything to anyone. I'll handle everything (she hangs up the phone. She's in shock, tears rolling down her face)

Setting: Quartermaine's mansion

Emily: Sit down Lucky. Do you want something to drink?

Lucky: No thanks. Thank you for going with me.

Emily: I'm glad I could help.

Lucky: I'm a little nervous about giving it to her.

Emily: Lucky, she'll love it.

Lucky: Are all these presents for Alexis and Ned?

Emily: Yes. There's more in the study.

Lucky: Are you excited about the wedding tomorrow?

Emily: I am. The family can use some good news.

Lucky: We all can.

Emily: I'm sorry Lucky. I was being insensitive.

Lucky: Don't be sorry. Christmas will be hard without Mom but I have to believe that she's getting the care that she needs

Emily: Do you have plans for Christmas?

Lucky: I think we're just going to have dinner at home. I want to make it a nice Christmas for Lulu.

Emily: You will. She's very lucky to have you and Nicholas as brothers.

Lucky: Speaking of Nicholas, how are things with you 2?

Emily: What are you talking about? (pretending not to know what Lucky is talking about)

Lucky: Emily, it's me. I've known you for a very long time. I know when you like someone and when you don't.

Emily: So?

Lucky: So, I think you like Nicholas. I've seen you around him. You get very nervous.

Emily: I do not

Lucky: Yes, you do. Nicholas asked about you.

Emily: He did? What did he say? (with a hopeful smile)

Lucky: I thought you didn't like him.

Emily: Lucky

Lucky: He wanted to know if you were seeing Zander again.

Emily: (surprise and happy) Why? What did you say?

Lucky: I said that I didn't know but that I can call you and ask.

Emily: (trying to hold her happiness in) What did he say?

Lucky: He changed the subject.

Emily: (disappointed) Oh.

Lucky: If you want my opinion, I think Nicholas has some feelings for you.

Emily: But he's with Gia. She's so glamorous. She's a model.

Lucky: Emily, you were a model. Besides, you're just as glamorous and elegant.

Emily: He's still in love in Gia.

Lucky: Then why did he ask if you were seeing Zander? (Emily ponders this. She didn't want to get her hopes up.)

Setting: Mac's house, Friday evening.

Anna and Robin are sitting on the floor wrapping presents. There are wrapping papers, bows and boxes scattered around them. They're comparing presents they bought for other people.

Robin: Well, I'm almost done with my shopping.

Anna: I'm definitely done. I can't do anymore shopping.

Robin: Who's going to go with me?

Anna: I think you're going to have to recruit Brenda or Emily.

Robin: Alright. So what do you want to do about Christmas dinner?

Anna: Well, I was thinking of having it here and invite Felicia and the girls over. You can invite anyone that you like.

Robin: I'll see if Brenda, Jax and Julia want to come.

Anna: Speaking of Brenda and Jax, how are they doing?

Robin: I think they're getting there. Jax filed for divorce from Skye.

Anna: Poor Skye. She must be devastated.

Robin: I feel bad for her.

Anna: And how are you doing?

Robin: I'm fine.

Anna: Robin.

Robin: I really am. I'm excited about Christmas and my new job.

Anna: And Luis Alcazar?

Robin: What about him?

Anna: How are you dealings with your feelings for him?

Robin: I guess I'm not.

Anna: Robin.

Robin: Mom, I don't know what to do. When I found out he left without saying goodbye, I was so sad and hurt. I missed seeing him, talking to him. He had become such a big part of my life. Then when I saw him again, I felt this happiness. Now I feel sad, happy, and angry.

Anna: Angry? Why?

Robin: I feel betrayed that he wasn't honest about himself.

Anna: Would that have changed anything? Would you not have taken care of him? Would you not let him help you?

Robin: No. I guess not.

Anna: Then nothing has changed. Alcazar is still the same man that you knew; the difference is now you know he has a past.

Robin: How do I accept that?

Anna: You have to. It's his past. You weren't involved. It's what he does now that matters.

Robin: Mom, are you telling me to pursue Luis?

Anna: No, I'm telling you to follow your heart. I want you to be happy. And you were with Luis at one point. I just want you to realize that.

Robin: I'll think about it. So, how are you getting along with Uncle Mac?

Anna: Fine. He asked me to take over the Investigation department.

Robin: That's great. Are you going to do it?

Anna: I think so. It'll be nice to be working again.

Robin: And you'll get to spend more time with Uncle Mac (she teases Anna)

Anna: Robin, what are you talking about?

Robin: I see how Uncle Mac is when you're around. He's get flustered and he sneaks looks at you (she smiles at Anna)

Anna: He does not. We just enjoy each other company.

Robin: It's more than that. He makes you breakfast. He makes an effort to be home for dinner. I don't know. Looks to me like he can't get enough of being with you

Anna: That's ridiculous. Mac's just worried about me that is all.

Robin: If you say so. What's with look you give Uncle Mac then?

Anna: I don't give Mac any look.

Robin: Mom, I'm a grown adult. I see things.

Anna: There's nothing to see.

Robin: Well, I know what I saw. I'm glad that you're moving on.

Anna: You're ok with this?

Robin: Mom, you deserve happiness. And so does Uncle Mac. It tore him apart when he and Felicia divorced.

Anna: Do you think he's over Felicia?

Robin: Yes. Uncle Mac is a very forgiving man but how many times can he keep forgiving Felicia?

Anna: What do you mean?

Robin: I love Felicia but sometimes I don't understand her. The first time they were together and Maxie was sick, Frisco came back. Felicia slept with him and was pregnant with Georgie. Uncle Mac understood and stepped aside. Then Frisco left and eventually Uncle Mac and Felicia found each other again. Felicia then got involved with Luke. Uncle Mac found out and left. Uncle Mac eventually forgave her and they attempted reconciliation. But Felicia got involved with Luke again. I think that was the last straw for Uncle Mac. I think he finally realized she had an adventurous side to her that he can't fulfill.

Anna: I think that's a trait of a Scorpio, to love deeply.

Mac: Well Hello. You guys have been busy.

Anna: Girls time (she's a little embarrassed. They were just talking about him and now he's here)

Mac: Any for me?

Robin: Of course. I have to go drop off Alexis and Ned's wedding present.

Anna: Do you want us to wait for dinner?

Robin: No. I'm probably going to have dinner with Emily. Bye (she leaves)

Mac: She's always rushing off. Where does she get the energy?

Anna: She can't stay idle. So what do you want to do about dinner?

Mac: I don't feel like cooking. Want to go the Kelly's?

Anna: Sure. Let me just clean this up.

Mac: I'll help you (he starts picking the wrapping paper and bows. He reached for the tape dispenser the same time as Anna. Mac ends up holding Anna's hand) I'm glad you haven't moved out.

Anna: Thank you for letting me stay.

Mac: No problem (he still is holding Anna's hand)

Anna: Mac-

Mac: (interrupts Anna and releases her hand) Let's get you fed.

Anna: (disappointed) Ok.

Setting: The docks

Robin is sitting on the bench looking out at the water. The water is calm and peaceful. There's not too many boats docked. She's trying to work up the courage to go give Alexis and Ned their wedding present. Walking down the steps, Jason sees Robin sitting alone. It looks like she's thinking about something. She looks so beautiful sitting there with the wind blowing her hair around her face. Jason takes a few steps toward Robin but stops. Should I go to her? I can't take it if she walks away again. He continues to look at Robin and slowly approach her. He stood looking at her a few seconds. Robin doesn't seem to realize he's standing in front of her.

Jason: (softly) Robin?

Robin: (shakes her head a little) Yes?

Jason: What are you doing?

Robin: (smiles) Thinking.

Jason: Can I sit down?

Robin: It's a public bench (Jason sits down next to Robin. He can almost smell the light fragrance of Robin's perfume)

Jason: It's nice out here (not sure how to talk to Robin. He feels awkward. He's always been comfortable talking to Robin. Now he doesn't know what to say)

Robin: Yes, it is (wondering why Jason is trying to make smalltalk with her. Why is he sitting next to her? She could almost see his deep blue eyes if she turns her head just a little. What am I thinking?)

Jason: (hopeful that Robin is still sitting here. He raked his brain for something to say until he saw the present) Are you going to Ned and Alexis wedding?

Robin: No, I can't. I'm trying to muster enough courage to go give them their present. Are you going?

Jason: Brenda forced me

Robin: That's a first.

Jason: What is?

Robin: You being forced into doing something you don't want to do.

Jason: Things change.

Robin: I didn't mean to imply that I know you.

Jason: Robin, you do know me.

Robin: No, I don't (she finally looks at Jason. He is so beautiful. She can remember how soft his face was when she touched it. How moist his lips were. But she also remembered the anger and hatred in his eyes that night on the bridge) I don't know you (she gets up to leave)

Jason: Robin, please (but Robin left. He didn't know what he was begging her for, to listen to him, to let him explain, to apologize, to not leave him. He rubs his eyes, got up and left.

Setting: Kelly's that night

Mac: It's quiet here tonight.

Anna: Everybody must be preparing for Ned and Alexis wedding.

Mac: Must be. So, what do you want to eat?

Anna: Chili. I have the craving.

Mac: Yeah, me too. So, have you given any thought to the job offer?

Anna: I'll take it. Thank you for offering to me.

Mac: Anna, that's great! (he impulsively grabs and hugs Anna. At the front door, Felicia sees Mac embracing Anna)

Anna: You sound more excited than I am (releases Mac)

Felicia: Hi. What are you celebrating?

Mac: Anna decided to head the investigation department (he smiles at Anna. Felicia looks disappointed in the news)

Felicia: Congratulations Anna.

Anna: Thank you Felicia.

Felicia: So did you decide to take the apartment?

Anna: I'm actually going to stay with Mac a little longer now that Robin is back.

Felicia: I'm sure you want to spend as time with Robin as possible (trying to hold a smile)

Anna: Yes. She's going to start hospital soon. I know we're probably never see her after that.

Mac: I agree (Mac continues to look at Anna which doesn't escape Felicia's notice)

Felicia: I'm going to get going. It's nice to see you both (she gets up to leave. She's looks like she wants to cry)

Anna: She left quickly.

Mac: She probably has to get back to the girls (not realizing that Felicia looking at little sad)

Setting: Outside Jason's penthouse

Sonny: (Sonny is heading to the elevator when he sees Brenda at Jason's door) Hi Brenda

Brenda: Sonny

Sonny: (notices she holding her dress) Is that your dress for tomorrow?

Brenda: Yes. I hope it fits.

Sonny: I'm sure you'll look beautiful (flashes his dimples)

Carly: (hearing the last part of what Sonny's comment. She looks angry but tries to hide it) Oh, Sonny, Jason just called. He wants you to meet him at the warehouse.

Sonny: Ok (he steps into the elevator)

Carly: (gives Brenda a nasty look) Stay away from my husband!

Brenda: Whatever, Carly (she walks into Jason's apartment)

Carly: (talking to herself) I will protect my family

Setting: Quartermaine's Garden

It's a nice clear crisp afternoon. The garden is beautifully decorated with different kinds of flowers. You can smell the fragrance in the air. There's a small gathering of people. Edward and Lila, Alan and Monica, along with Courtney and Emily are sitting on one side. On the other side Jax, Julia, Brenda and Jason. Ned and AJ are standing at altar. The wedding march begins down the aisle first is Gia and then Alexis on the arm of Nicholas. Alexis looks radiant and glowing in a duchess satin elegant wedding gown. Ned and Alexis exchanged traditional wedding vows. Alexis was very poised reciting her vows. They exchanged wedding rings. Finally, the priest told Ned he can kiss his wife

Ned: Hello my wife (he smiles)

Alexis: Hi (with tears in her eyes, she smiles back. Ned takes her into his arms and passionately kissed her. Everyone applauded)

Setting: The dock

Julia is seating on the bench looking out the water. Images of Brenda flash in her mind. She smiles remembering some of the stunts Brenda used to pull. Brenda and her are getting so close. The awkwardness, the competition, the disappointment no longer exists between them. Julia is trying to decide if she should stay in Port Charles. She doesn't think she can leave Brenda again.

Sonny is walking along at the other end of the docks. He has so much to be grateful for. He's finally getting the family that he always wanted with Carly. He smiles thinking of his future baby. His mind drifts to Robin. He's sad that he can't share this with her. Of all the people in the world, she would understand how blessed he feel at this moment. I have to try to make amends, he thought. He stopped when he saw Julia sitting on bench. Sonny continues to look at Julia. He couldn't stop looking.

Julia turned toward Sonny when she felt someone was looking at her. She looks at him. He looks familiar but she can't place where. She feels self-conscious with Sonny continuing to look at her.

Julia: (with questions in her eyes) Can I help you?

Sonny: (breaking out of his trance) I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare.

Julia: Do I know you?

Sonny: I don't think so.

Julia: Then why were you staring at me?

Sonny: Can't a man look at a beautiful woman when he sees one?

Julia: You were more than looking.

Sonny: I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you.

Brenda: (walking toward Julia) Julia, why are you sitting here? Wasn't that a beautiful ceremony?

Julia: Yes.

Brenda: (turned to the direction Julia was looking at) Sonny.

Sonny: Hi Brenda.

Brenda: Sonny, have you met my sister Julia?

Sonny: Your sister?

Brenda: Yes. She's the one who found out the truth about my health.

Sonny: Hi Julia. You must be happy to have your sister back.

Julia: Yes. I'm very grateful (still can't take her eyes off of Sonny)

Sonny: Well, I'll leave you ladies to talk. Bye Brenda. It was nice to meet you, Julia (he gives Julia his full smile)

Julia: Bye (watches Sonny leaves)

Brenda: Bye Sonny. What's with him? (Not noticing Julia's discomfort)

Julia: So, that's Sonny Corinthos.

Brenda: The one and only.

Julia: He's not what I expected.

Brenda: So, why didn't you stay for the reception?

Julia: I had some thinking to do

Brenda: What?

Julia: Brenda, how would you feel if I stayed in town?

Brenda: Are you kidding? I would love it.

Julia: Really?

Brenda: Yes. I want to get to know you now that we're not at odd with each other.

Julia: I feel the same way.

Brenda: Then it's settled. You're staying.

Julia: I guess I am.

Brenda: Jax will be happy.

Julia: I don't know about that. We're competitors.

Brenda: Are you kidding? He'll be able to keep an eye on you.

Julia: Speaking of Jax, where is he?

Brenda: At the hotel, he was feeling a little tired.

Julia: And why are you here?

Brenda: I was looking for you.

Julia: As you can see, I'm fine. Now, go and be with Jax.

Brenda: Ok. I'll see you later.

Julia: Bye Brenda (she watches Brenda leave. Julia mind drifts back to Sonny. Sonny Corinthos)

Setting: Sonny's Penthouse

Carly: (picks up the phone and starts dialing) Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to call you.

Voice: What is it?

Carly: It's not working. We had a deal.

Voice: You haven't completed your part of the deal.

Carly: I have time.

Voice: Don't play with me.

Carly: I'm not. Look, is there anything I can do to speed it up?

Voice: Your body needs to heal. Keep taking the drugs.

Carly: For how long?

Voice: If you want result, keep taking the drugs and continue making your husband happy. Don't call here again (line goes dead)

Carly: Damn! (Carly slams the phone down.)

Setting: Kelly's

Robin was picking some dinner because Mac and Anna were working late, again. She was just walking out, just as Jason was about to walk in. They almost collide with each other. They stood looking at each other. Jason was still in his suit from the wedding. He looked so handsome. It made Robin thought of a time when they were together.

Robin: (realized that she was staring at Jason) I'm sorry. I didn't watch where I was going.

Jason: (continues to look at Robin) I'm sorry. Are you alright?

Robin: I'm fine. He's still beautiful (blushed when she realized she was thinking out loud)

Jason: (he smiles at Robin's blush) You're beautiful when you blush.

Robin: (she blushes more at Jason's compliment) I don't blush anymore.

Jason: Yes, you do. Your cheeks get red (he moves forward, raised his hand to touch Robin's cheeks. But Robin stepped back from Jason. Jason dropped his hand, disappointed)

Robin: I have to go.

Jason: Robin (but she left. He felt emptiness as he watches her leave. He wanted to go after her and hold on to her. He didn't want to let go of the brief happiness he felt when she smiled at him)

Setting: Jax's hotel suite.

Brenda opens the door. The lights in the room are dimmed. Jax must be asleep. Brenda makes her way to Jax's room. She opens the door and sees Jax asleep in bed. She quietly makes her way to his bed. She tenderly watches him sleep. She bends down toward Jax and kissed him on the mouth. Brenda was about to pull back when Jax responded to her kiss. Jax pulled Brenda forward and she ended on top of Jax. He cradled Brenda's head in his hands and deeply kissed her.

Brenda: (slightly lifts herself off of Jax) Jax

Jas: (looks tenderly into Brenda's eyes) Don't leave Brenda (Brenda smiles at Jax. She leans down to kiss him. They continue to lavish each other with kisses. Jax slowly undress Brenda in between kisses. They once again connect with each other completely)

A while later

Brenda: I should wake you up more often (she smiles provocatively at Jax)

Jax: Everyday if you like.

Brenda: Thank you for loving me.

Jax: Thank you for waiting for me.

Brenda: Are you ok?

Jax: I'm better than ok. I just made love to the woman I love.

Brenda: I don't mean that. You said you were feeling tired.

Jax: I'm much better now.

Brenda: Jax, you can tell me.

Jax: I'm fine. You are what I needed. (He wrapped his arms around Brenda and they fell asleep together.

Christmas was only 2 days away. Port Charles has been getting a lot of snow. The streets are covered with snow. The trees are lined with Christmas lights. The store windows are filled with beautiful decorations. Robin is walking out of the store carrying several bags

Alcazar: Robin (he smiles at Robin)

Robin: (surprise to see Luis) Hi.

Alcazar: Can I help you with your bags?

Robin: (thought about it for a few seconds) I can use some help.

Alcazar: (encouraged by Robin's response) Who are all these for?

Robin: The children at GH. Alan usually reads a story on Christmas and then we pass out presents to all the children.

Alcazar: Is this enough presents?

Robin: I hope so. This is my third trip. I have to drop all this off at the hospital.

Alcazar: Can I drop you off at the hospital?

Robin: It's not out of your way?

Alcazar: No, not at all. Are you looking forward to starting at GH?

Robin: Yes. I didn't realize how much I would miss working with patients.

Alcazar: A doctor true at heart.

Robin: I don't know.

Alcazar: I do. You helped me healed.

Robin: I actually didn't do very much.

Alcazar: You have no idea how much you did. I'm grateful for you.

Robin: And I you.

Alcazar: You don't have regrets?

Robin: I wish I had known about your past. But I don't regret knowing you. I owe you my life.

Alcazar: You don't owe me anything. Seeing you happy means everything to me. Robin, can we try to be friends?

Robin: Is that all you want?

Alcazar: If that's all you're willing to give.

Robin: I'll try.

Alcazar: Thank you my Robin. Let's get you out of the cold.

Setting: Mac's office

Anna: Here's the last file, Mac. Scott should be able to get a successful conviction.

Mac: Thank you. The office can use some positive publicity after the Alcazar fiasco.

Anna: You should know this, Robin is trying with Alcazar.

Mac: She has feelings for him?

Anna: She's torn about her growing feelings for him and what he's done.

Mac: I don't know whose worst, Alcazar or Morgan.

Anna: It's not our choice who we love (she looks at Mac)

Mac: (realized what Anna just said. He looks at Anna) No, it's not.

Setting: Julia's hotel suite

Brenda: You don't mind that we have dinner with Robin, do you?

Julia: Not at all. It'll give me a chance to catch up with her. She starts at GH soon, right.

Brenda: January. She's been going there everyday, though.

Julia: She must be really excited.

Brenda: She is. She deserves it.

Jax: (knocking and entering) Hello ladies (he goes to give Brenda a quick kiss)

Brenda: Hi

Julia: Hi Jax.

Jax: Do you mind if I meet you at Mac's tomorrow?

Brenda: No but why?

Jax: It's a surprise.

Brenda: What?

Jax: You'll have to wait and see.

Brenda: Jax, tell me (Julia sees the interaction between Brenda and Jax. It makes her happy to see Brenda smile)

Julia: Brenda, just wait until tomorrow.

Brenda: Hey, you're supposed to be on my side.

Julia: I am but the one thing I've learned in dealing with Jax is that he never gives up.

Jax: Thank you, Julia.

Julia: I have some last minute shopping to do. I'll see you later (she gets her purse and coat and leaves)

Jax: We have the place to ourselves.

Brenda: This is Julia's room.

Jax: It'll be more adventurous

Brenda: I'll don't think so. But I will race you to your suite.

Jax: You're on (they both rush out to Jax's room)

Setting: Liz' studio

Liz: Lucky, I didn't to expect to see you tonight.

Lucky: Disappointed?

Liz: No, very happy.

Lucky: You started painting again?

Liz: Yes, a present for Luke.

Lucky: For Dad? May I see it?

Liz: Ok, but I still have to put some finishing touch on it (Liz lifts the cover of the painting. The picture is of Laura holding a very young Lulu)

Lucky: Liz, it's beautiful. What made you decide to do this?

Liz: I know that Luke is having a rough time without Laura, especially during this time. I just wanted to give him something to smile about.

Lucky: He'll love it. Thank you Liz (He embraces Liz and sweetly kisses her)

Liz: You're welcome. So you do think he'll like it?

Lucky: Yes. I have your Christmas present. Can I give it to you now?

Liz: You don't want to wait until tomorrow?

Lucky: No, I want to do it in private.

Liz: Ok but wait, let me get yours (she takes Lucky's present from the closet and hands it to Lucky) You first.

Lucky: Ok (Lucky slowly opens the present) Liz, how did you know I need these?

Liz: The guy that the store said every photographer need one of these sets. Do you like them?

Lucky: Yes. Thank you so much. Now you. (He hands Liz a small box. Liz takes the box and slowly opens the box. Inside the box is a smaller jewelry box. She smiles and opens the lid. Inside is beautiful sapphire platinum ring. Her eyes glistened with tears)

Liz: Lucky, it's so beautiful. I don't know what to say.

Lucky: When I saw this ring, I had to get it for you. The color slightly changes depending on how you look at it. It reminded me of you and how my heart beats differently every time I see you.

Liz: Oh, Lucky.

Lucky: I love you Liz

Liz: (with tears in her eyes) I love you too Lucky (she embraces Lucky)

Lucky: You do? I wasn't quite sure.

Liz: I do. I have for a while. I didn't know how to tell you.

Lucky: Will you tell me every time I see you?

Liz: I think I can do that (she kisses Lucky tenderly)

Setting: Kelly's

Julia finally finished her shopping. She didn't feel like going back to the hotel so she decided to go to Kelly's for dinner. She is sitting by herself. Sonny spotted Julia immediately when he walked in. He smiles and walks toward her.

Sonny: Julia

Julia: Mr. Corinthos

Sonny: Sonny.

Julia: Can I help you?

Sonny: I just wanted to say hello.

Julia: Now, you have. Goodbye. (She goes back to eating her dinner, trying to ignore Sonny and the feelings she felt stirring)

Sonny: I haven't yet.

Julia: Haven't what, Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: (he smiles at Julia) Sonny

Julia: Haven't what?

Sonny: Hello.

Julia: (confused) Hello what?

Sonny: I haven't actually said hello (smiles at Julia's discomfort)

Julia: (feeling uncomfortable) I don't have time to play your games.

Sonny: I'm not playing any games.

Julia: You've said your hello.

Sonny: Yes, I did. Why are you dining by yourself on Christmas Eve?

Julia: Look Mr. Corinthos. I'm obviously eating alone because I don't want any company (hoping Sonny will go away)

Sonny: Sonny. Why do you insist on calling my Mr. Corinthos?

Julia: I don't know you.

Sonny: We can change that (with a gleam in his eyes)

Julia: I'll have to pass. Do you mind if I finish my dinner now?

Sonny: Ok. It was nice running into you. Bye Julia.

Julia: Mr. Corinthos (she goes back to eating while Sonny walks to the counter. He continues to look at Julia. Meanwhile, Julia is trying to control herself from looking back at Sonny)

Setting: Quartermaine's lake house

Emily: Nicholas?

Nicholas: Emily, I'm over here.

Emily: (follows Nicholas' voice. She sees him looking out at the water) Why did you choose this place?

Nicholas: The water is so calm, don't you think?

Emily: I guess so. Nicholas, is something wrong?

Nicholas: No, why?

Emily: You seem distracted.

Nicholas: Thank you for meeting me.

Emily: I wanted to give you your present (she hands him his present. She watches his hands unwrap the present)

Nicholas: (smiles when he sees the sweater) I'll think of you every time I wear this.

Emily: (blushes) You don't have to say that.

Nicholas: It's true. Here's yours (he hands her a small gift. Inside was pair of diamond hair clips)

Emily: These are beautiful. Thank you.

Nicholas: Let's try them on (he takes the clips to Emily's hair) I can see your beautiful eyes more.

Emily: Nicholas (she looks down from Nicholas' eyes)

Nicholas: (lifts her chin) Emily (he leans forward and slowly kisses Emily. Emily was so surprise she didn't know what to do. She continues to kiss Nicholas for a few seconds and then steps back)

Emily: I don't think we should be doing this.

Nicholas: I've wanted to do that for a long time.

Emily: What about Gia?

Nicholas: I'm sorry Emily. That was insensitive of me.

Emily: (disappointed by what Nicholas said) I'm sorry too.

Nicholas: But I'm not sorry for kissing you.

Emily: (trying to calm her heart) You're not?

Nicholas: I'm only sorry that I'm not available.

Emily: I understand. You're right the water does look calm (she looks out at the water. Nicholas smiles and looks out at water with Emily)

Anna: Mac, you didn't have to. You've already given me so much.

Mac: But this is a Christmas present (he hands Anna the box) Open it.

Anna: (Anna slowly opens the box. Inside is a scrapped book. with pictures, report cards, news clippings of Robin) Oh Mac (she smiles through her tears)

Mac: I know this doesn't bring back the years you lost with Robin but I hope it will show you that Robin was happy.

Anna: I owe her happiness to you. You've been so good to her. When did you have time to do this?

Mac: (smiles) Why do you think I've been so busy?

Anna: I have your present too (she gets up and got Mac's present) Open it.

Mac: (Mac opens the box, inside is a gray knitted scarf) It's beautiful. Thank you.

Anna: Let's see what it looks like (she takes the scarf and wrapped it around Mac's neck) It's look good on you (she smiles at Mac. Mac smiles back. He leans into Anna. He tenderly kisses her lips. He stops and looks at Anna waiting for her reactions. He reached forward and pulled Anna into his arms. The desperately kissed each other. Mac holds Anna tightly in his arms.

Maxie and Georgie just finished opening their presents from Mac, Anna, and Robin. Felicia is on the armchair watching Mac and Anna, who are sitting very close to each other on the sofa. The doorbell rings.

Robin: (gets from the floor) I'll get it (at the door is Brenda, Jax, and Julia bearing presents)

Brenda: Merry Christmas (she hugs Robin)

Robin: Merry Christmas. Come in (Robin hangs up everyone coats) More presents?

Jax: This looks fantastic.

Mac: Anna deserves all the credit (he squeezed Anna's hand. Felicia sees this)

Anna: Mac cooked the turkey.

Robin: I can't wait to eat everything. I can't think of the last time I had this kind of a meal.

Julia: You didn't have turkey when you were in Paris?

Robin: I always ended up working on Christmas (there's a knock at the door)

Mac: Who can that be? I'll get it (he opens the door to Luis Alcazar) What do you want?

Alcazar: I'm here to see Robin.

Robin: (hearing her name, goes to the door) Luis, what are you doing here? Come in (she gives Mac a look. Mac goes back to the dinner table. She leads Luis further into the house) We're about to have dinner. Would you like to join us?

Alcazar: (he looks at everyone at the table. Everyone had a frown on his or her faces except for Anna. He looks back at Robin and smiles) I don't want to interrupt. May I speak to you for a moment?

Robin: Of course

Alcazar: Can we go outside?

Robin: Let me just get my coat (They head back outside)

Alcazar: I wanted to give you your present in private.

Robin: (smiles) You didn't have to get me a present.

Alcazar: I wanted to very much. Open it. (Luis watches as Robin slowly opens the present. She lifts the lid. Inside is a silver heart locket on a chain.)

Robin: (she tenderly touches the locket) It's so beautiful.

Alcazar: Open it

Robin: (Robin opens the locket. Inside, is a small picture of Caitlin. She looks at Luis with tears in her eyes) How did you this?

Alcazar: The hospital had a picture of Caitlin in their file. Do you like it?

Robin: (wipes away her tears) I love it.

Alcazar: I'm glad you like it. I was a little worried that it might upset you.

Robin: (she reaches for Luis and hugs him) Thank you so much. I'll treasure it always.

Alcazar: Your happiness is all I need, my Robin (he lifts her chin and softly kiss her) You're getting cold. Why don't you go back inside?

Robin: And you?

Alcazar: I don't think there's anyone inside who would like to see me.

Robin: It's not that bad.

Alcazar: It is but you go inside. I'll see you later. (He gives her a quick kiss and leaves)

Setting: Brenda's old cottage

Brenda: Jax, I can't see anything.

Jax: (smiling) Don't worry. I won't let you fall, just a few more steps. (Jax opens the front door and leads a blindfolded Brenda in) Okay, you can remove the blindfold.

Brenda: (Brenda removes the blindfold and looks around. The cottage is refurbished with furniture. There's candles everywhere) Jax, what have you done?

Jax: I thought you might want your place back. Merry Christmas.

Brenda: It's mine again?

Jax: Sure is

Brenda: This is so great. Come here so I can properly thank you (she smiles seductively at Jax. He walks over to Brenda and takes her into his arms. They kiss each other passionately)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny: That was some Christmas.

Carly: Christmas is not over yet (she scoots closer to Sonny) You haven't open all your presents.

Sonny: What present?

Carly: (she starts to unbutton her dress) Me (she hungrily kisses Sonny)

Sonny: Pregnancy agrees with you (he said between kisses)

Carly: I always want you.

Sonny: You had me a couple times today already.

Carly: Not enough (she starts to unbutton Sonny's shirt)

Setting: Kelly's a couple of days after Christmas.

Emily: I see you're wearing the ring.

Liz: I haven't taken it off since Lucky put it on. Isn't it beautiful?

Emily: Yes. I was there when Lucky purchased it.

Liz: You were?

Emily: He thought he might need some help. But he picked the ring out all by himself.

Liz: I can't stop looking at it (she looks up to see Nicholas) Nicholas, hi.

Nicholas: Hi Liz. Emily

Emily: Hi.

Liz: Where's Gia?

Nicholas: She got a call from New York for some photo shoot.

Liz: That's a beautiful sweater you have on (she noticed Emily blushing)

Nicholas: Emily gave it to me.

Liz: Nice job Emily. I have to get back to work.

Nicholas: What do you have planned for today?

Emily: Nothing really.

Nicholas: I promised to take Lulu ice-skating. Would you like to come?

Emily: I don't want to intrude.

Nicholas: Not at all. I would love some company.

Emily: Ok, I'll come. Bye Liz (they waved at Liz. Liz watches Nicholas placed his hand behind Emily's back to guide her through the door. Definite progress, Liz thought)

Setting: AJ & Courtney's apartment.

AJ: Are you sure you want me to move back in?

Courtney: Yes, AJ. I do love you. I want to be with you.

AJ: I didn't want to rush you.

Courtney: You're not. Besides, how are we going to work on our marriage if we're not together?

AJ: Thank you Courtney.

Courtney: You don't have to thank me. This is for me too.

AJ: I am so lucky to have a wife like you (he kisses Courtney)

Setting: Skye's club, New Years Eve

In her agony of losing Jax, Skye decides to throw a New Years Eve party at the club. She figures she can lose herself in champagne. Everyone and anyone of Port Charles are at the party. Everyone is dancing and enjoying the festivities. Lucky and Liz are on the floor dancing, Brenda, Jax, and Julia are talking with other, Carly, Sonny, Mike, and Jason are in the corner. Nicholas, Gia, Ned and Alexis are by the bar. Mac and Anna just arrived. Felicia is standing with Luke noticed Mac and Anna's entrace.

Luke: Why miss Anna look beautiful. Let's go over and say hello.

Felicia: Luke, I don't... (trying to stop Luke from walking over)

Luke: Mac. Anna you look beautiful (he flashes her a smile)

Anna: Thank you Luke. Hi Felicia.

Felicia: Hello.

Mac: I'm going to get us a drink. What would you like Anna?

Anna: Whatever you're having.

Mac: I'll be right back.

Luke: Where's little Scorpio.

Anna: She said she was going to try to make it.

Luke: I haven't seen her since Christmas. Is she excited about her new job?

Anna: She can't stop talking about it. How are the girls, Felicia?

Felicia: They're fine (continues to sip her white wine)

Mac: It's a battle over at the bar (he hands Anna her drink. He rests his hand around Anna's waist. Felicia notices Mac's gesture and takes another sip of her wine) Looks like everyone is here.

Luke: It's the place to be! Well come on Felicia. Let's have a twirl.

Anna: (laughing) He's too much.

Mac: I think he's starting to accept Laura being in the hospital.

Anna: Any changes to her condition?

Mac: Not really. I don't want to talk about Luke and Laura.

Anna: What do you want to do?

Mac: Would you like to dance?

Anna: I love to (she follows Mac out to the dance floor. They dance holding each other but not too closely. Anna is enjoying being in Mac's arms. It's been a long time since she danced with anyone. She opened her eyes when Mac stopped dancing) Mac? (She follows his eyes. At the door is Robin wearing a beautiful red satin slip dress on the arm of Luis Alcazar. It seemed like everyone had stopped to look at them)

Carly: (notices the commotion) How dare she show up with him?

Sonny: Carly don't make a scene.

Carly: I'm not. Jason, did you know about this?

Jason was too occupied looking at Robin. She was so beautiful. Her hair was swept up in a loose knot. Her face was cradle with a few soft hairs. Her dress accentuates her small but curvy body. He can't stop looking at her. She was breathtaking. But then he finally saw that she was standing next to someone. Robin had her hand on Alcazar's arm. He was crushed. He tried to look away but he couldn't. It was as if he was making himself look at Robin with Alcazar. To make him realized that he let her go. He felt pain in his heart.

Robin: (leads Luis toward Mac and Anna) Mom, Uncle Mac. You know Luis.

Luis: (awkward) Hello.

Anna: Hello Luis (she politely smiles while Mac continue to look at Luis without saying anything)

Robin: (trying to erase the awkwardness) This place is packed. Everyone seems to be here.

Anna: It looks like it.

Brenda: Robin (Brenda hugs Robin and whispered) Are you sure this is a good idea?

Robin: (smiles) I don't know. Luis asked and I said yes.

Brenda: I hope you know what you're doing (she then turns to Luis) You better not hurt her.

Alcazar: (smiles) Hello to you too, Brenda.

Jax: You better listen to her Alcazar.

Robin: (needing to put a stop to the situation) Hello, I'm here you know. Besides, we're here to celebrate. Can we do that?

Jax: Sorry Robin.

Anna: Robin is right. Mac, can I have another drink? (trying to get Mac to calm down)

Mac: (he gives Alcazar another look) I'll be right back.

Brenda: Come on Jax. Let's mingle (Jax and Brenda head off)

Anna: So, Mr. Alcazar, will you be in town long?

Alcazar: Luis, please.

Anna: Luis

Alcazar: I don't have anywhere else to be. Robin is here.

Anna: I owe you a great deal of gratitude for helping my daughter.

Alcazar: It's not necessary. Robin also helped me.

Anna: You still have my gratitude.

Alcazar: Robin, can I get you something to drink?

Robin: Sparkling water?

Alcazar: I'll be back in a minute.

Anna: Have you made up your mind about Alcazar?

Robin: I'm trying. I understand what he's done but I also know what he did for me. I can't forget that.

Anna: I'm not saying that you should. I just don't want you to get hurt.

Robin: I won't. I don't even know what I feel for Luis.

Anna: Are you going to find out?

Robin: Maybe but not tonight. I just want to have fun tonight.

Mac: What do you think you're doing with my niece?

Alcazar: I asked Robin to join me and she accepted (playing coy)

Mac: (getting more irritated) If you so much as hurt a hair on her, I'll make you pay. No government on this earth will be able to protect you (Mac walks off)

Sonny: (approaches Alcazar) I listen to the Commissioner if I were you.

Alcazar: I didn't know that the Commissioner is in your corner.

Sonny: Mac is only in Robin's corner.

Alcazar: Then you should also pay attention to commissioner's warning (he walks back to Robin)

Jason: What was that about?

Sonny: Nothing (watching Robin with Alcazar) Robin looks happy.

Jason: (sees Robin smiling at something Luis said) Yeah

Brenda: (making her way to the bar) Jason, Sonny. What are you up to?

Sonny: What's the deal with Robin and Alcazar?

Brenda: None of your business.

Jason: Don't you care what happens to her? Alcazar is dangerous.

Brenda: He's not anymore dangerous than you. He couldn't possibly hurt her more than you did (she accused Jason)

Jason was taken back by what Brenda said. He hadn't really thought about much about Robin's feelings. He was so wrapped up in his anger and his feeling of betrayal. He lost Robin and Michael. Robin lost too. Now, he doesn't have the anger and the hurt. He feels empty except when he sees Robin. Jason walked off.

Sonny: You were a little rough on him.

Brenda: He deserves it. You do too. I know what you did to Robin.

Sonny: Brenda, you weren't there.

Brenda: That justifies you to turn against her?

Sonny: I was in a bad state.

Brenda: So was Robin. She needed you. She didn't have anyone.

Sonny: She had Mac.

Brenda: That's not the same thing and you know it. You just remember who always stood by you. Do you know she always defended you to me, Jax, Mac, everyone? She was so loyal to you. I couldn't understand that sometimes. But I understood when I left Jax to come back to you. She never judged me. She just supported me.

Sonny: I don't know what else to say.

Brenda: That's a first. You've lost someone very important to you, someone who would protect you, be loyal to you, and above all never judge you. I couldn't be that person for you. Jason just does what he's told. And Carly, well you already know what she can and will do. And you have nothing to say.

Carly: (angry from what she heard) What do you know?

Brenda: I know enough to know that you only care about yourself.

Carly: You know nothing about me.

Brenda: Thank God! (Brenda walks off)

Carly: She really has a lot of nerves. Why did you let her talk to me like that?

Sonny: Let's not get into this now.

Carly: You never want to discuss anything. Robin is off limits. Brenda is off limits. What's left to discuss?

Sonny: (irritated by Carly's behavior) Nothing (he also walks off)

Carly: (shocked that Sonny walked away) Sonny (she was so mad, she down a glass of red wine from the bar. Across the dance floor, AJ sees her drinking the wine)

Sonny walked from Carly to outside the club. He was thinking about what Brenda said. He's never had to question Robin's loyalty. Of all the people in his life, he knew he could completely trust her, even now. The door opens, out came Julia. Sonny turns around and sees her.

Sonny: (smiles) The party is inside.

Julia: I needed some air.

Sonny: (he noticed Julia was rubbing her arms with her hands) You're cold. Take my jacket.

Julia: No, I couldn't do that.

Sonny: I can't stand by and watch you freeze.

Julia: Ok, thank you.

Sonny: How are you enjoying Port Charles?

Julia: It's nice here. I'm thinking of relocating back here.

Sonny: Brenda will be happy to hear that.

Julia: I'm a little worried about that. Brenda and I have never really lived close to each other.

Sonny: Things are different now between you.

Julia: Yes, they are (they hear loud noises and whistles from inside)

Sonny: I guess it's New Year.

Julia: Yes. Don't you have someone you want to be with?

Sonny: I'm where I want to be (he slowly approaches Julia)

Julia: Mr. Corinthos (getting a little nervous as Sonny approaches her)

Sonny: Sonny. You really do have to learn to call me Sonny (he smiles)

Julia: (softly) Sonny

Sonny: (he smiles wider when Julia said his name) Happy New Year, Julia (he leans forward to slowly kiss Julia)

Carly: (opening the door) Son... (the word died in her throat when she saw Sonny kissing Julia. She covers her mouth with her hand. Tears flowing down her faces. She turned to go back inside)

Meanwhile inside, everyone was counting down to the New Year. Lucky was holding Liz. Ned was with Alexis. AJ had his arm around Courtney. Emily found herself with Nicholas.

Nicholas: Happy New Year, Emily.

Emily: Happy New Year.

Nicholas: Emily... (he leans in and kiss Emily. It was a soft searching kiss. Emily was so stunned. Nicholas continues to kiss Emily when she didn't pull away)

Felicia was watching from the bar as Mac holds Anna tightly in his arms. She drinks another glass of wine.

Mac: Happy New Year, Anna (he smiles down to Anna)

Anna: (smiles back) Happy New Year to you Mac.

Mac: May I have a New Year kiss?

Anna: (almost shyly) Yes (Mac pulls Anna into a searing passionate kiss. They clung to each other. Mac felt so wonderful to have Anna in his arms. It's been so long since anyone wanted him)

Jason was in the corner watching Robin with Alcazar. Alcazar reached for Robin to embraces her. He lifts Robin's chin and softly kiss her. Jason can see that Robin kept her eyes closed even after Luis lifted his head. It was torture to see someone else kiss Robin. It was someone else who get to hold Robin, someone else who gets to see her smile. His heart was in pain.

Carly: (stopped in front of Jason. Her mascara was running down her face) Jason, can you take me out of here?

Jason: (looks away from Robin and to look at Carly) What's wrong Carly? Why are you crying?

Carly: Please Jason. Just take me out of here.

Jason: Let's go.

Carly: The back door.

Jason: Ok (he leads Carly out the back door)

Outside.

Julia: (Julia was shocked that Sonny is kissing her. She steps back from Sonny.) What are you doing?

Sonny: (smiles) Something I wanted to do since I first saw you.

Julia: (not impressed) You're married.

Sonny: (reality sinks in) Yes

Julia: (angry) Then I suggest you keep your body parts to yourself (she takes off Sonny's jacket and give it back to him) Goodbye Mr. Corinthos (Julia leaves before Sonny can say anthing)

Setting: The bridge, couple hours later

Robin is standing on the bridge looking out at the water. There's a full moon so she can almost see the water. There's a little snow falling down.

Robin: Happy New Year Stone. Another year passed without you. You would think that it gets easier but it doesn't. How's my baby Caitlin? Is she keeping you on your toes? I miss her. Sometimes I can go a whole day without thinking about her but then I see a baby stroller and it hits me. I feel this incredible hole in my heart. I don't know how to mend it. I try to keep busy so I don't dwell on it. But it's hard sometimes. Everyone is so supportive but it doesn't always help. I know they feel my pain but I just can't handle seeing that on their faces. It breaks my heart to see them hurt for me. So I try to be strong. (Robin rubs her hand together) You know what? One more day and I start my residency at GH. I'm a doctor Stone. I've made it. I've pinched myself several times to make sure it isn't a dream. I wonder if I would be able to help Caitlin if I had been a doctor when she was born.

Jason: It wasn't your fault Robin (Robin was so surprise by Jason's presence. She just looked at him) There wasn't anything you could do (he said quietly)

Robin: (taken off guard by Jason's comment) What are you talking about?

Jason: Caitlin (he looks at Robin)

Robin: What about Caitlin? (she was getting a little angry)

Jason: Don't blame yourself about Caitlin.

Robin: You don't know anything about Caitlin (she turned back towards the water. She was angry that Jason said Caitlin's name. She didn't know why. It made her feel guilty. Caitlin was Jason's daughter too. He didn't even know it)

Jason: Emily told me

Robin: (she looks at Jason again) Emily told you? When?

Jason: When she first came back. She didn't want to say anything. But I begged her. She didn't want to break your trust in her. She only told me what she could.

Robin: I don't hold it against Emily for telling you. You're her brother, after all.

Jason: Robin, please tell me about Caitlin (he pleads to her with his eyes)

Robin: I don't know if I can (she sighs) I don't know if I can relive it again.

Jason: Just take it slow. I'm here.

Robin: (Robin looks questionably at Jason) I'm sorry I'm being selfish. You have a right to know about Caitlin.

Jason: Caitlin was mine then?

Robin: Yes. I was about 4 weeks into my pregnancy when I left for Paris. When I arrived, I was numb, hurt, angry and alone. I was a mess physically and mentally. But I did start school. It was the only thing where I could find escape. I didn't eat and sleep very much. I even start missing my meds. My roommates were worried when I started to get dizzy spells. I chalked it up to my not sleeping and eating. When the fainting spells began, they freaked. They took me to the hospital. The doctors didn't really know what was wrong. They thought it was side effects from me missing my meds. It was a last resort that the pregnancy test was done. I was a little more 5 months pregnant (she paused) I was shocked. I never thought it was possible because we were always so cautious. The doctor ordered that I remained in bed for the rest of my pregnancy because I very was anemic, had lost too much weight, and my immune system was having adverse effect because of the missing meds. I was so horrified and anguished. I felt so guilty for causing harm to the baby. I quit school and remained in bed for most of the time. But it didn't help. I couldn't keep food in my body, I was cramping a lot, and I had to double the meds to keep the HIV in check and to protect the baby from getting HIV. The doctors weren't very optimistic. When I started spotting and my heart rate was getting too high, they suggested delivering the baby. The chance of me carrying the baby full term was highly improbable. The baby's life and my life were in jeopardy. On July 3rd, at 10:30am the doctors performed a C-Section. Caitlin Scorpio Morgan had light brown hair, blue eyes, and was almost 4 pounds. Her brain and lungs were underdeveloped. She had to stay in the incubator. (Robin wipes the tears away from her eyes) She couldn't eat. She didn't even cry. She just slept. I would try to feed her but she would throw it all up after a while (getting angry at herself, Robin got up and started pacing) I got desperate watching her. She didn't seem to make any progress gaining weight. The doctors said there wasn't much to be done. On August 30, at 10:30pm Caitlin passed away. Her lungs collapsed (Robin hugged herself and started crying. Her cries were so desperate and anguish)

Jason: (tears were flowing down his face. He was still trying to digest everything that he just heard. He looked over at Robin. He sees her holding herself crying in agony. He felt such torment watching her. It was as if she was reliving it all again. He walked toward Robin and tightly enfolds her in his arms) It's okay Robin. You're not alone. I'm with you (He gently strokes her hair, trying to calm her while trying to control his emotion and turmoil) Please don't cry (Jason continues to soothe Robin. After a few minutes, Robin stopped crying)

Robin: (Robin looks up into Jason's eyes. She didn't understand his expression. She stepped out of his arms) I'm fine (she wipes the last of her tears away) I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Caitlin

Jason: (softly) You are?

Robin: I would never keep her away from you. I just didn't have the time or the opportunity. I was fighting for her life. That was the only thing that was important to me.

Jason: (sadly) I understand.

Robin: (looks at Jason) Do you, really?

Jason: You couldn't trust me.

Robin: No, that wasn't it. After I found out I was pregnant. I spent all of my energy taking care of myself for Caitlin's sake. I avoided stress and conflicts. That's why I dropped out of school. After Caitlin was born, all my energy was spent on taking care of her. I didn't know of anything else. I was only concerned with my baby and only my baby. That's the only reason why I didn't tell you. It wasn't because of spite or anger.

Jason: And afterwards?

Robin: After Caitlin passed away; I was even more of a mess. I felt responsible for Caitlin's death. I felt that Caitlin was taken away because I had kept Michael away from AJ. I felt I didn't deserve to live because Caitlin had to die.

Jason: (he looks sadly at Robin) You didn't keep Michael away from AJ.

Robin: It didn't matter in my mind. Luis found me while I was attempting to kill myself. He helped me deal with grief for my lost of Caitlin. I got help from a psychologist. I started school again. I took a job at the hospital. I pushed everything that was bad, wrong, and painful out of my life. I started to live again, set small goals that I could achieve, small goals turned into long-term goals. I promised myself that I would never become the person I once was. I would never betray myself or my beliefs and love blindly again. That's when I took Stone's name. I was a good and strong person when I was with him. I lost track of that somewhere along the line. I want to strive to be the person who Stone loved again. I won't betray myself again for love.

Jason: You regret loving me.

Robin: I can't regret loving you because you gave me Caitlin. I regret the person I became when I was with you.

Jason: (saddens his heart to her Robin say this) Robin.

Robin: (she look at Jason) I am sorry I didn't tell you about Caitlin earlier. You had every right to know. You lost her too. I was selfish.

Jason: It was painful for you.

Robin: (smiles at Jason's words. He always knew what to say) I have a picture of her. Would you like to see?

Jason: (surprise) Yes.

Robin: (Robin walks over to Jason. She takes the locket Luis gave her out from under her dress and opens it. She stood next to Jason closely to show him Caitlin's picture) Isn't she beautiful?

Jason: (tears blurring his vision) She's beautiful like you.

Robin: (Robin looks at Jason. She was heartbroken to see him crying. Her hand reached up to Jason's face and wiped away his tears) She's beautiful like you.

Jason: (Jason placed his hand over Robin's hand to hold it against his face. He turned his face sideway and placed a kiss in Robin's palm) Thank you, Robin.

Robin: (she just stood there with her hand in Jason's hand. She didn't want to let go but she did. She steps back from Jason) For what?

Jason: (disappointed to see Robin pull away from him) For telling me about Caitlin.

Robin: Your welcome (they lapse into silence. Both were dealing with so much emotion inside. Snow was beginning to come down more) It's so beautiful here. The taste of fresh snow is delicious

Jason: (Jason watched Robin stick her tongue out to taste the snow. Her face would light up when she caught some snow. She was beautiful to watch.) You must be getting cold.

Robin: Not really.

Jason: Your lips are turning blue.

Robin: It doesn't feel that cold.

Jason: Robin.

Robin: I'm going (she starts to walk a way. But she stopped and turned around to look at Jason) Happy New Year Jason (she smiles.)

Jason: Happy New Year Robin (he watched her walk away. It felt so good to hear her say his name again. He looked up at the sky with the snow falling down. It's a happy year already. He walks off the bridge feeling more optimistic about life.)

January passed quietly in Port Charles. Alexis is very excited about the upcoming birth of the baby. Ned has been successful in keeping stress out of Alexis' life. Liz and Lucky have gotten very close. Liz is spending more time with her painting. Lucky is busy with his photography. AJ and Courtney are slowly rebuilding their marriage. AJ is enjoying working for Ned. Edward hasn't been around to harass AJ. Nicholas and Gia's relationship is strained. Gia is accepting more modeling jobs than ever. She goes to New York almost everyday. Nicholas is battling his growing feelings for Emily and his relationship with Gia. Mac and Anna are treading lightly with their relationship. They spend quite a lot of time with each other for work purposes. But neither has admitted feelings for the other. Robin is busy as ever with the hospital. Monica and Tony are her resident advisors. Most of Robin's spare time is spent observing Monica in surgery. In her other time, Robin is with Tony viewing surgery tapes. Tony would critique the surgery while Robin took notes. Robin hasn't seen Jason since New Year Day. Speaking of Jason, he's been busy dealing with the coffee business. He's working to build a new warehouse to replace the one that was blown up. Sonny is on cloud 9 with Carly's pregnancy. He walks around with a permanent smile on his face. Carly is edgy as ever. She didn't confront Sonny about the kiss she witnessed. Julia is adjusting to life in Port Charles. She spends a lot of time with Brenda and Jax. Brenda and Jax are happy as can be. Jax purchased Deception for Brenda to run. Jax is responsible for the business side of Deception while Brenda is in charge of the creative side. Brenda made Lucky the head photographer for Deception. But she's having 2nd thoughts about signing Gia as the Deception model again.

Setting: Nicholas' house

Gia: I can't believe Brenda hasn't renewed my contract with Deception!

Nicholas: Do you blame her? You've cancelled 2 photo shoots in the last 3 weeks with Lucky.

Gia: But I was offered covers. Lucky understood that I couldn't turn it down.

Nicholas: But Brenda still has a business to run.

Gia: Are you taking her side because she's Robin's friend?

Nicholas: This has nothing to do with Robin. Look, you had to know that there would be consequences for canceling those photo shoots.

Gia: I thought of it but I never thought Brenda would take it this far.

Nicholas: Have you tried to talk to Brenda?

Gia: Yes but she said she hasn't made a decision yet.

Nicholas: Then we don't have any choice but wait.

Gia: I can't wait! This is my career. I can't let Brenda Barrett destroy it.

Nicholas: Gia, calm down. Brenda doesn't want to destroy your career.

Gia: How do you know? I took her job. Maybe she wants to be the Deception model.

Nicholas: I doubt that.

Gia: This is serious Nicholas. I have to do something.

Nicholas: What are you thinking?

Gia: I don't know but hell if I'm going to sit by and let Brenda ruined everything I worked for.

Nicholas: Gia, don't do anything rash.

Gia: I can't believe you. My career is important to me. I'll do what it takes to protect it. If you're not going to help me then I'll do it by myself.

Nicholas: I want to help you. I just think you're overreacting.

Gia: No, I'm not! I need to get out of her (she walks toward the door)

Nicholas: Gia, wait (but Gia continues to leaves)

Setting: Sonny's bedroom

Sonny and Carly has just made love. They fell back to sleep in each other's arms. Carly woke up first. She looks over at Sonny and smiles. She starts to kiss him on the chest.

Sonny: (blinks his eyes open) Good morning, again.

Carly: (smiles) Good morning (she trails her kisses up to Sonny's neck)

Sonny: Are you hungry? I could make you breakfast.

Carly: (kisses Sonny's lips) Not hungry (kisses Sonny again)

Sonny: Is there anything I can get you?

Carly: (still kissing Sonny) Not at this moment. I have everything that I want (she rolls on top of Sonny)

Sonny: (smiles) Didn't we just do this?

Carly: Are you complaining? (kisses Sonny again)

Sonny: No at all (he passionately kiss Carly. They made love again)

Setting: In front of Kelly's

Robin just got off a double shift at GH. She hasn't been home in over 24 hours. She's been on her feet and running around the whole time, it seems. She didn't think there was any food at home because Mac and Anna have been working nonstop also. She was just going to get something quick to eat at Kelly's and go home to sleep. Ah, sleep. It sounds so good. Jason also needed to get something to eat. The warehouse has been taking all his time. Sonny hasn't been any help. He stopped when he saw Robin sitting at the table resting her head on her hands. She was asleep. She looks so peaceful but tired. She was still in her hospital scrubs. Most of her hair was still in a bun. Jason stood looking at Robin a few more minutes. He slowly approached her. He wanted to wake her because it was still very cold out. He softly touch Robin's shoulder

Jason: Robin

Robin: (snaps out of her sleep) What? What room Amy? (thinking she was still at the hospital)

Jason: Robin, it's Jason (he continues to look at her with a worried expression on his face)

Robin: (Robin looked around her surroundings) I must have fallen asleep (rubbing her eyes)

Jason: I'm sorry to startle you. It's cold out here. I didn't want you to get sick.

Robin: (she smiles at Jason) No, thank you for waking me. I'm so sleep deprived. I've been at the hospital for the last 24 hours.

Jason: You look tired.

Robin: I was just going to get something quick to eat and then go home to sleep. I guess I couldn't wait (she smiles to herself)

Jason: Come on. Let's get you inside.

Robin: Ok (they walk inside Kelly's and sat at a table) I must really be tired. I don't remember falling asleep. I wonder how long I was out for.

Jason: (touches Robin's hands) Your hands don't feel too cold. It must not have been very long.

Courtney: (Courtney walks up to their table. She notices Jason holding Robin's hands. She was taken back by it) What can I get you?

Robin: Can I have whatever the soup is and a muffin?

Courtney: Sure. Jason?

Jason: Chili and one coffee and a tea.

Courtney: I'll be right back with your orders.

Robin: (smiles at Jason) You remembered I drink tea.

Jason: I remembered.

Robin: (she looks down at her hands and notices that Jason was still holding them. She pulls her hand back. She doesn't know what to say to Jason. It felt awkward sitting there with him) I heard you were rebuilding the warehouse.

Jason: Yes. Construction is interesting.

Robin: Are you doing the work yourself? (Courtney brought them their food) Thank you.

Jason: I have others working with me. Sonny was going to help but he's been busy with Carly (Damn, he didn't want to bring Carly's name into the conversation. He watched Robin's expression) I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

Robin: (interrupting Jason) You don't have to apologize. Carly can't hurt me anymore. She doesn't have anything I want.

Jason: (not wanting Robin to leave, he quickly changed the subject) How do you like working at the hospital?

Robin: (Robin's face light up) I love it. I practically spend all my time there. Tony and Monica have been so patient with me.

Jason: Tony?

Robin: Yes. He sits and reviews all the surgery tapes with me. He would point this and that out to me, things that I would never have noticed. He is really a good surgeon. I'm lucky to have him as an advisor.

Jason: Have you been in any surgery?

Robin: I haven't done any surgery but I get to observe Monica. I'm still trying to get my footing.

Jason: You are going to be a good surgeon.

Robin: I hope so.

Jason: I know so.

Robin: (Robin looks at Jason. She didn't know what to make of it) I have to go (she starts to gather her things and get some money out)

Jason: (disappointed to see her leave) Don't worry. I got it.

Robin: Oh, Ok. Thank you. Bye (she turns to leave)

Jason: (sad) Bye Robin (he continues to watch her leave)

Courtney: Is she alright? She looked tired.

Jason: She just came from the hospital (still with a far away look on his face)

Courtney: (looking at Jason) Jason?

Jason: Yeah?

Courtney: Is everything ok?

Jason: Yes. Why do you ask?

Courtney: You just seem different.

Jason: It's nothing.

Courtney: Tell me. Maybe I can help.

Jason: I don't think so.

Courtney: Jason, you can trust me. We almost...

Jason: Courtney, you're Sonny's sister and AJ's wife.

Courtney: That doesn't mean I can't be your friend.

Jason: That's all that we can ever be. Can you handle that?

Courtney: Jason, I've explained about AJ.

Jason: You don't owe me any explanations. I have to go (he gets up and put some money)

Courtney: Bye (she watches longingly as Jason walks away)

Setting: The docks

Robin is on her way to her car. Luis was walking toward her. He smiles when he spots Robin.

Luis: Hello, my Robin.

Robin: Luis, hi (she smiles at him)

Luis: What are you doing here?

Robin: I just had a bite to eat at Kelly's

Luis: You look tire. Are you ok?

Robin: I'm fine. I just pulled a double shift at the hospital. I'm on my way home to sleep.

Luis: Can I walk you to your car?

Robin: Of course

Jason was walking on the dock and saw Alcazar and Robin. Alcazar had his hand behind Robin's back. He didn't know what to make of it. It seemed like Robin couldn't get a way from him fast enough. Now he sees her with Alcazar. It hurts so much to see Robin with someone else. He doesn't know what to do with this pain he's feeling.

Setting: Jason's penthouse

Brenda was busy packing her things. It didn't seem like she had been there that long yet she had a lot of stuff. She turned toward the door when she heard it slammed.

Brenda: What's with you?

Jason: Nothing.

Brenda: Ok (goes back to her packing)

Jason: What are you doing?

Brenda: I know how much you enjoy my company and all but I'm moving back to the cottage.

Jason: The cottage? (he remembered it being Robin and his home for a while)

Brenda: Yeah. I need my own space. I know you definitely do.

Jason: Whatever Brenda.

Brenda: Ok, what is it?

Jason: Nothing.

Brenda: Just tell me. I can't stand your scowling at me.

Jason: It doesn't have anything to do with you.

Brenda: That's good. Who got you in this mood?

Jason: I saw Robin with Alcazar.

Brenda: (smiles to herself) Ah, now I understand.

Jason: You don't know anything Brenda.

Brenda: So tell me.

Jason: You are really annoying.

Brenda: Well the sooner you tell me, the sooner I can pack my things and then I can be out of your hair.

Jason: Fine. I bumped into Robin at Kelly's and she couldn't wait to get away from me. When I was at the docks, I saw her walking with Alcazar.

Brenda: So why are you mad?

Jason: I'm not mad. I just don't understand why she wants to be with him. He's dangerous.

Brenda: What does it matter to you who Robin is with? It's not like you guys are together.

Jason: I know we're not together, Brenda. I just don't want her to get hurt.

Brenda: Why?

Jason: Why? What do you mean why? It's Robin. I care what happens to her.

Brenda: (smiles when she finally got the answer that she wanted) So you don't want her to get hurt because you still care about her.

Jason: Yes (not understanding why Brenda was questioning him) Don't you care what happens to Robin?

Brenda: Yes, I care very much. But I have the rights to...she's my little sister and my best friend.

Jason: Are you saying I'm not allowed to care what happens to Robin?

Brenda: You're allowed to feel however you want. I just don't understand why. Robin betrayed you, she took your family away from you, she told AJ the truth, you told her to go...

Jason: None of that matters now.

Brenda: It doesn't?

Jason: I just know that I care what happens to Robin (feeling his frustration)

Brenda: Listen Jason, I swear to you Luis would never hurt Robin. Robin is very special to him. I saw the look on his face when he used to talk about her. I don't think there's anything he wouldn't do to protect her. He doesn't treat Robin like he did with me. I was an object that he wanted to posses and control. Robin is different.

Jason: That doesn't make me feel better Brenda.

Brenda: But why? I just told you Luis would never hurt Robin and that's what you're worried about, right?

Jason: I'm still worried.

Brenda: Well, I don't know what else to say to ease your mind. Maybe you're more than worried about Robin's safety.

Jason: What do you mean?

Brenda: Maybe, you have other feelings for Robin (trying to be coy)

Jason: (he looks at Brenda) You don't know what you're talking about as usual.

Brenda: Since, I'm no help. I'm going to finish packing my things (Brenda heads up the stairs)

Jason was left sitting on the couch thinking about what Brenda said. He was worried about Robin's safety. But is it more? He remembers the feelings he felt when he saw Robin kissed Alcazar. He felt a pain he still can't describe. For that one moment in time, he wished he were Alcazar. What am I thinking? Frustrated he got up and left the penthouse. The elevator doors open as Carly walked out holding a bag.

Carly: Hey Jase (trying to hide the bag from Jason's eyes)

Jason: Carly.

Carly: Where are you going?

Jason: (he looked at Carly as if he didn't know her) Out! (he gets in the elevator)

Carly: Bye to you too (she heads into the penthouse) God, please let this work. I can't keep Sonny in bed all day (she heads into the bathroom. She emerged a few minutes later) My entire future depends on 2 minutes (Carly paced around the room thinking. She finally goes into the bathroom and look at the stick. She is shocked and tears came to her eyes) It's not blue. I'm not pregnant. What am I going to do? (she sits down on bed and cried)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: (leads Anna into the house) That was a long day. We can't keep doing this.

Anna: I know. I wonder if Robin is home.

Mac: Maybe. Her car is outside.

Anna: I'm going to check her room.

Mac: I'll make us something to eat.

Anna: (outside of Robin's room, knocking on the door) Robin? (she slowly opens the door. Robin is sleeping in bed. Anna was going to close the door when Robin stirred)

Robin: Mom? (she sits up in bed rubbing her eyes)

Anna: Hi Honey. I didn't mean to wake you (she walks toward Robin and hugs her)

Robin: It's ok. My stomach was growling anyway.

Anna: Mac is downstairs making something. You want me to bring it up for you?

Robin: No I'll come down. Did you guys just got home?

Anna: Yes. It was a long day.

Robin: You and Uncle Mac have been pulling a lot of long days. What's going on?

Anna: It's Scott. He's under pressure to close cases so he applies the pressure to us to make our cases tight.

Robin: He's trying to make a name for himself.

Anna: Something like that. I'll see downstairs (Anna gets up toward the door)

Robin: Mom, can I ask you something?

Anna: Of course, honey. What is it?

Robin: When are you going to tell Uncle Mac about how you feel?

Anna: What? What are you talking about Robin?

Robin: Mom, you know what I'm talking about. I see you guys together. I know you feel something for Uncle Mac.

Anna: (hesitate) Robin, I don't...

Robin: Don't say it. I watched you fall in love with Duke and I watched you back in love with Dad. I know the signs Mom.

Anna: (smiles) I forgot how observant you are.

Robin: So?

Anna: So, no I haven't. I don't want to put Mac in an uncomfortable position. He's been really great to you and me. I don't want to ruin that.

Robin: Mom, you must know that Uncle Mac doesn't want your gratitude. I know he has feelings for you.

Anna: I don't know Robin.

Robin: For two people who are so aggressive with protecting the law and everything else. You sure are timid about your feelings.

Anna: Timid? I don't know about that.

Robin: Yes, timid. I think you might have something good with Uncle Mac. You both deserve happiness. Take a chance Mom.

Anna: I have to think about.

Robin: Ok. I'm going to grab a quick shower and then I'll be down.

Anna: We'll see you downstairs. (Anna was walking down the stairs thinking about what Robin said. Could Mac have feelings for her?)

Mac: (sees Anna) Is Robin upstairs?

Anna: She was sleeping but she's hungry so she'll be down in a little bit.

Mac: That's Robin. Her stomach dictates her actions.

Anna: Mac, do you think I'm timid?

Mac: Timid no. Cautious maybe. Why?

Anna: Robin said we were timid.

Mac: Robin said we were timid?

Anna: Yes. I don't think of myself as timid.

Mac: I'm definitely not timid.

Anna: Then why haven't you been honest about your feelings?

Mac: What are you talking about?

Anna: Do you have feelings for me Mac?

Mac: (surprised, Mac just look at Anna not sure of what he's just heard) Do you have feelings for me?

Anna: Mac, this is not a contest. Why can't you tell me if you do?

Mac: I don't know (he starts to pace around) I didn't know how you would feel about it. I didn't want to alienate you.

Anna: That's the same reason why I didn't tell you mine.

Mac: (he stopped in tracks and turn toward Anna) You have feelings for me?

Anna: (smiles) Yes.

Mac: I hoped that you did but I wasn't sure (he reached for Anna's hands) I thought you might still be in love with David.

Anna: I can't love someone I don't trust. I trust you, Mac.

Mac: You trust me? Anna, are you saying what I think you're saying?

Anna: That I'm falling in love with you.

Mac: You are? I can't believe it (he crushed Anna is an embrace)

Anna: Does this mean you feel the same way?

Mac: You don't know for how long (Mac leans in to tenderly kiss Anna. Anna returned Mac's kiss)

Robin was walking down the stairs. She stopped when she saw Mac and Anna kissing. She smiles. Not wanting to disturb them, she made her way upstairs again. Sorry stomach, you're going to have to wait a little longer.

Setting: The Grille

Julia is eating while looking over some contracts when a shadow appears.

Sonny: It can't be right when a beautiful lady dines by herself.

Julia: Mr. Corinthos. Can I help you with something?

Sonny: Sonny, please.

Julia: You didn't answer my question (avoids calling Sonny by name.)

Sonny: I saw you by yourself so I thought I come over. Would you like some company?

Julia: I'm busy

Sonny: I see that.

Julia: Then why are you still here?

Sonny: Man, are you this cold to everyone?

Julia: No, just to you Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Ok, I'll leave you to your work.

Julia: Thank you (Sonny walks away. It took all of Julia's will power no to look up at Sonny. Remember, he's Sonny Corinthos)

Setting: GH

Robin: Hi Amy.

Amy: Hi Robin. You look rested.

Robin: I feel rested. So what's on my plate for today?

Amy: Monica wants you to observe her in surgery in an hour. Tony is out today. So, you have to do his rounds.

Robin: Sounds like a light day. I'll see you later Amy.

Amy: Bye Robin. She's really amazing.

Bobbie: Who is amazing?

Amy: Robin.

Bobbie: I don't know about amazing.

Amy: (defensive about Robin) No your daughter is amazing for keeping a son away from his father.

Bobbie: Amy!

Amy: Whatever Bobbie (Amy walks off)

Setting: Brenda's office at Deception

Nicholas: (knocking on the open door) Can I speak to you Brenda?

Brenda: (looks up from her desk) Nicholas. Come in.

Nicholas: Am I disturbing you?

Brenda: No, I'm just looking over some proofs. What can I do for you?

Nicholas: I wanted to talk to you about Gia.

Brenda: What about Gia? (not liking where this conversation is going already)

Nicholas: She's really upset that you haven't renewed her contract.

Brenda: I haven't made up my mind.

Nicholas: Gia is a good model. Laura wouldn't have chosen her if she wasn't.

Brenda: I do not doubt that Gia is a good model. I think she's a good model. I just don't know if she's the best thing for Deception.

Nicholas: Brenda, how can you say that? Gia has helped Deception become a household name again.

Brenda: You don't think I know that? Why do you think I haven't made up my mind?

Nicholas: Why are you hesitant?

Brenda: Look Nicholas, since I've taken over the creative aspect of Deception, Gia has missed 2 photo shoots, 2 very important photo shoots. Our spring campaign was depended on those shoots. I had to find replacement models. Why do I have to use replacement model when I have a face of Deception?

Nicholas: I'm sorry Brenda. I know Gia left you in a bad bind. But those covers are important to her future.

Brenda: I don't disagree with you. But I still have a business to run. If Gia doesn't see her future with Deception then I don't see why I should put Deception's future in Gia.

Nicholas: So, you've made up your mind.

Brenda: No I haven't. I'm just telling you why I haven't made my decisions. I know you're trying to help. I hope Gia appreciates it.

Gia: (standing at the door) I should appreciate what? (walking further into Brenda's office)

Nicholas: Gia, what are you doing here?

Gia: I asked a question.

Brenda: I have to meet Robin for lunch. You guys stay and talk. (Brenda grabs her purse and walk out. She definitely didn't want to be around for this conversation.)

Gia: Are you going to answer me?

Nicholas: I was talking to Brenda about your contract.

Gia: What about it?

Nicholas: I wanted to know why she hasn't made up her mind. I wanted to try to convince her to sign you again.

Gia: I don't need your pity.

Nicholas: It's not pity.

Gia: Well, whatever it is. I don't need it.

Nicholas: Gia, just a couple of days ago, you wanted my help. I try to help and you tell me don't need it. Can you make up your mind what you want?

Gia: What I want is your support! I want you to believe that I'm a good model and the Deception should be lucky to have me. I don't want you begging Brenda Barrett to give me a job.

Nicholas: That's not what I was doing.

Gia: That's what it looked like to me.

Nicholas: (frustrated) I can't win with you. You complained when I don't help. When I do help, you say it's because I pity you.

Gia: That's what it feels like.

Nicholas: Fine. Take it pity. I don't care anymore.

Gia: You don't care anymore? What are you saying?

Nicholas: You don't care for my opinions. I distinctively told you not to do those covers but you did them anyway. I didn't think that it was professional of you to leave Deception in a bind like that. But did you listen to my advice? No. You had to do what you had to do for your future. Well, you forced Brenda into doing what she has to do to protect Deception's future.

Gia: Those were covers. It reached a lot more people than ads for Deception.

Nicholas: (raised his hands in the air) I give up. You don't get it do you?

Gia: Get what?

Nicholas: The world doesn't evolve around Gia Campbell. Just because it's convenient for you doesn't mean it's convenient for everyone else. I'll see you later.

Gia: Fine. Leave. You can't help me anyway (Nicholas looks at Gia, turns around and leave)

Setting: GH's break room.

Brenda: (she opens the door and sees Robin. Robin is buried in patient's files) Hey you.

Robin: Hey. What are you doing here?

Brenda: I decided to take you out to lunch. I haven't seen you in a while.

Robin: I'm sorry. I've been so busy doing double shifts here.

Brenda: It's my fault too. I didn't realized how much time running Deception took.

Robin: How is Deception?

Brenda: Most of it is fun but I'm stuck on whether to re-sign Gia to Deception.

Robin: You don't think Gia is good?

Brenda: She's good and she knows it. Deception is not a priority to her. It's a steppingstone for her career. I don't want Deception to be jeopardized.

Robin: What are you going to do?

Brenda: I don't know. Nicholas came by to plead Gia's case.

Robin: He did? It must be important to her then.

Brenda: It's important to her now because she doesn't have a cover to shoot for. Let's not talk about Gia. So you want to do lunch?

Robin: Tony is out today so I'm covering for him. Do you mind eating in the cafeteria?

Brenda: No problem

Robin collects the patient files and walk with Brenda to the cafeteria.

Brenda: So, what's been happening with you?

Robin: Nothing much.

Brenda: Been seeing Luis?

Robin: No. I haven't seen him since New Year's Eve.

Brenda: I'm surprise he's not camping out in front of Mac's door.

Robin: What do you mean?

Brenda: I saw the major lip locking you 2 were engaging in.

Robin: (embarrassed) We weren't lip locking.

Brenda: No. You were sharing your lipgloss with him.

Robin: Stop it. How's Jax?

Brenda: Changing subject, are we? Jax is fine. He's working with Julia on acquiring some pharmaceutical company.

Robin: I didn't know Jax was interested in medicine.

Brenda: He's not. But I think that's the challenge of it. Plus he can keep a close eye on Julia's business dealings.

Robin: He's too much. How's Julia by the way?

Brenda: Fine. She likes living in Port Charles again. She's trying to find a place to live.

Robin: She doesn't like the hotel?

Brenda: It's not enough space for her. She needs a big house with servants and stuff. She can't do a thing herself. I thought I was useless until I saw Julia trying to cook some eggs the other day.

Robin: (laughing) She can't be that bad.

Brenda: Robin, she didn't know how to break an egg. She was looking for a device to break it for her.

Robin: You should talk. You can't cook jack.

Brenda: But I can at least break an egg.

Robin: Whatever you say.

Brenda: Seriously, I think there's something going on with Julia that she's not telling me.

Robin: What do you mean?

Brenda: I would catch her sometimes looking out the window or just spaced out, like she was remembering something nice.

Robin: Did you ask her?

Brenda: Are you kidding? Julia never talks about her private life. I don't think I ever heard speak of a guy before.

Robin: Well, maybe she never had one.

Brenda: No, she had guys. I saw the newspaper articles. Robin, that's it. I'm a genius! (smiling wide)

Robin: What is it?

Brenda: It has to be a guy. That's what Julia is preoccupied about! Those looks. They're the same looks you have when you think of Jason. I bet my life on it.

Robin: I don't have a look when I think about Jason (a little defensive)

Brenda: Yeah, right. I'll take a picture of you next time.

Robin: And I don't think about Jason!

Brenda: Don't get so defensive. God, you 2 are so alike. Jason was just as defensive when we were talking about you.

Robin: You were talking about me?

Brenda: Yes. How's Anna?

Robin: Brenda, you can't leave it like that. What did you guys talk about?

Brenda: I thought you said you don't think about Jason.

Robin: I don't.

Brenda: So you would rather talk about him instead? (goading Robin for a response)

Robin: (gives up) Mom is fine. She's busy working with Uncle Mac.

Brenda: (disappointed that Robin changed the subject) They've been spending a lot of time together.

Robin: I think they're falling for each other.

Brenda: Are you serious? How do you feel about that?

Robin: I don't have any objections. I want them happy and if that's mean they're together, all the better.

Brenda: I think Anna is good for Mac. She has a strong personality but still vulnerable, it brings out the protective instinct in Mac.

Robin: I didn't think of it like that. I just don't want him hurt anymore.

Brenda: I know sweetie. Mac is a good and strong person. He won't let what happened with Felicia rule the rest of his life.

Robin: I hope not (Robin hears her name being paged over the intercom) I have to go. Thanks for lunch.

Brenda: You're welcome. Don't work too hard. (They hug each other)

Robin makes her way back to Amy's counter. She's still carrying the patient files.

Robin: Hi Amy. Sorry I was in the cafeteria. (Not really looking at Amy. She was sorting through the files) These files are done. What's going on?

Amy: (smiling) You have a visitor.

Robin: What? (she looks at Amy. She then sees Luis) Oh, hi.

Alcazar: Hi my Robin.

Robin: (flustered that Luis was standing here. Robin noticed that Amy was still looking at them) I'll be in the break room if you need me, Amy. (Robin leads Luis into the break room) I love Amy but she tends to gossip. What are you doing here?

Alcazar: I wanted to see you (he gives Robin a smile)

Robin: Oh (getting even more flustered)

Alcazar: (noticing her behavior) Robin, is something wrong?

Robin: What? No. I just had a weird morning (trying to calm herself) What did you want to see me about?

Alcazar: I missed you.

Robin: (ok calm down Robin, she thought) Ok.

Alcazar: What's wrong Robin?

Robin: (feeling ridiculous) I'm nervous.

Alcazar: Why are you nervous?

Robin: You

Alcazar: I make you nervous?

Robin: I'm sorry. I'm being silly.

Alcazar: My Robin, tell me what this is all about.

Robin: I just had lunch with Brenda and we were talking about you. Now you're here.

Alcazar: This is why you hold my heart in your hands.

Robin: What do you mean?

Alcazar: You're so refreshingly honest, even when it cost you.

Robin: (embarrassed) Now, I'm embarrassed.

Alcazar: (smiles at Robin) I'm going to leave before I do more damage. Will you have dinner with me?

Robin: I can't tonight and tomorrow but the next night?

Alcazar: I'll look forward to it. Bye, my Robin (Alcazar bends down to lightly kiss Robin on the lips)

Robin: Bye (Robin watches Luis leaves. His kiss is nice, she thought)

Setting: AJ & Courtney's house.

AJ is sitting at small kitchen table looking at a small picture of Michael. He touches Michael's face with his thumb.

Courtney: (walking out from the bedroom) AJ, what are you doing? (She goes to hug AJ from the back. She sees AJ holding Michael's picture) Is that Michael?

AJ: (smiles) Yeah. We took this picture when he was at the house.

Courtney: He's so cute (she spots a present on the table) Who's the present for?

AJ: It's Michael's Christmas present.

Courtney: AJ, Christmas was a month ago.

AJ: I know. Carly wouldn't let me see Michael to give to him.

Courtney: I'm sorry AJ.

AJ: I am too. He's my own son and I can't give him his Christmas present. I'm missing so much of his life. He doesn't even know I'm his father.

Courtney: I didn't realize that you weren't allowed to see Michael.

AJ: Since Sonny forced me to sign over custody; I've barely seen Michael. I've bumped into him here and there.

Courtney: Is there anything we can do?

AJ: We?

Courtney: Yes. We are married, after all. Michael is important to you, which means he's important to me.

AJ: I don't know Courtney. I married you thinking I could swap you for Michael. I never imagined that you could love me. Now, that you do. I don't want to lose you over Michael.

Courtney: I'm offering to help.

AJ: And I love you for it. But I don't want you in the middle of this.

Courtney: AJ, I'm not proposing we do anything rash. We should explore what our options are in regards to Michael. We should at least be able to get you visitation rights.

AJ: You think that's possible?

Courtney: We don't know unless we try. Why don't we talk to Alexis to see if she has any suggestions?

AJ: Thank you. You are too good for me (he goes to hug Courtney)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly: (talking into the phone) Dr. Meadows, what other options are there?

Dr. Meadows: Mrs. Corinthos, the hormones take time...

Carly: (interrupts) I don't have time. I need to get pregnant now.

Dr. Meadows: Our next option is in vitro fertilization.

Carly: When can we do it?

Dr. Meadows: The best result is when your body is fertile.

Carly: How do we know that?

Dr. Meadows: Your body temperature. We'll need to have your husband's sperms in the bank before we start the therapy.

Carly: I want to do it. Set up an appointment...

Sonny: (walking in through the door) Appointment for what?

Carly: (caught of guard, she looks at Sonny. She covers the mouthpiece) Appointment to see how my pregnancy is coming along.

Sonny: (smiles) Oh.

Carly: (goes back to the phone) Thank you doctor. (She hangs up the phone) I didn't expect you to be home.

Sonny: I missed my wife (he goes to Carly and gives her a kiss)

Carly: That's nice (how am I going to get your sperm to the hospital, she thought)

Setting: The park

Nicholas is sitting on the bench looking at the kids on the swing. He's still mad from his encounter with Gia. He doesn't understand what's going with Gia lately. She's not happy with anything that he does lately. He misses their carefree days. He misses Gia.

Emily: Hi Nicholas.

Nicholas: Emily. How are you?

Emily: I'm fine. What are you doing here?

Nicholas: Thinking. What about you?

Emily: I'm supposed to meet Jason so I can spend some time with Michael.

Nicholas: That's nice.

Emily: (sensing something wrong) What's wrong Nicholas?

Nicholas: I had a fight with Gia.

Emily: Oh (not knowing what else to say)

Nicholas: I'm going to get going (he gets up to leave)

Emily: (grabbing Nicholas' hand) Don't leave. What did you fight about?

Nicholas: (seats back down) I can't talk to you about Gia.

Emily: Why not?

Nicholas: Gia is my girlfriend and you're... (he didn't finish his sentence)

Emily: And I'm your friend. I can listen.

Nicholas: (smiles) I can't seem to make Gia happy. She said I'm not supportive of her career so I try to help. But then she gets mad because I interfered. I just don't know. I miss how we were.

Emily: Modeling is a tough job. It's very competitive so it makes one very stressful.

Nicholas: I understand that and that's why I tried to help. But Gia is just not happy with what I do.

Emily: Just talk to Gia, explain to her that you are supportive of her career. But you don't know to help. Ask her how you can help.

Nicholas: You really are great, you know that?

Emily: I don't know about that. I'm glad I can help.

Nicholas: Emily, are you sorry...

Jason: Emily. Nicholas (interrupting Nicholas)

Emily: Jason. Hi Michael. You've gotten so big.

Michael: Hi Aunt Emily.

Nicholas: I should get going.

Emily: You don't have to leave.

Nicholas: I have to head back to the house.

Emily: Ok. Bye Nicholas.

Nicholas: Bye. Jason.

Jason: (nods his head) Nicholas (He watches Nicholas walk away) What did I interrupt?

Emily: Nothing.

Jason: It didn't look like nothing.

Emily: We were just talking Jason.

Michael: Can I go play on the swings?

Jason: Sure, go ahead buddy.

Emily: He's gotten really big.

Jason: I know. He's really smart too.

Emily: So what have you been up to?

Jason: Just working on the warehouse. How's school?

Emily: It's a little rough with the commute.

Jason: Why don't you just stay in New York?

Emily: I want to be near the family and my friend.

Jason: Nicholas

Emily: No (she lightly hits Jason on the shoulder) How's Sonny?

Jason: He's happy. I have never seen him smile so much.

Emily: When's the baby due?

Jason: I guess around July.

Emily: Are you excited?

Jason: I guess. It's not my baby after all.

Emily: Thank god for small favors.

Jason: What?

Emily: I don't know if the family can handle another baby fight with Carly. They still haven't gotten over Michael.

Jason: Michael didn't belong to them.

Emily: Michael is AJ's son. Just because you don't like the family doesn't change the facts.

Jason: What is that suppose to mean?

Emily: When was the last time Mom and Dad got to visit Michael? Or Grandmother? Or even AJ, his father? Not since I've been back.

Jason: I don't have a say in Michael's welfare. He's Sonny and Carly's child.

Emily: You are just as controlling and conniving as Grandfather.

Jason: How can you say that Emily?

Emily: You ask me how? Michael is 5 years old, he's known 2 different fathers and none of which are his real father. You, Sonny, and Carly are using Michael to exact revenge on the family. I may not like Grandfather's tactic but at least he has the rights. He's Michael's grandfather. Sonny is nothing to Michael. He forced AJ to give up Michael. Is that who you really want Michael's father to be?

Jason: It's no longer my decision.

Emily: Yes, it is. Everyday that you help to keep Michael away AJ, Mom, Dad, and the rest of the family you make it your decision.

Jason: I lost Michael too Emily.

Emily: When are you going to understand? Michael was never yours to lose! He wasn't your son. You and Carly stole him. Do you know who was yours? Robin. She loved you body and soul. And you threw her away. Do you even care about that?

Jason: (trying to control his anger) Of course I care.

Emily: You sure as hell fooled me. Robin was pregnant with your child and she was alone. She grieved for your child alone. She tried to commit suicide because of guilt. What were you doing? You were scheming with Carly to keep Michael away from AJ.

Jason: What do you want me to say?

Emily: Nothing. Look, I'm not trying to be cruel to you Jason. I want you to see the facts. I want you to understand why Robin felt she had to tell AJ the truth. I want you to realize how much you've lost because of lies and deceits.

Jason: (he's quiet) What do I do now?

Emily: What do you want for yourself, Jason? Are you going to spend the rest of your life being Sonny's bodyguard/right-hand man, scheme with Carly? Have you thought of your future?

Jason: I don't think of the future anymore.

Emily: Why not?

Jason: Because I always saw my future with Robin.

Emily: And now?

Jason: I don't see the future.

Emily: Do you see Robin in your future?

Jason: I don't know.

Emily: You better decide soon. Robin won't always be there (Emily looks at Jason) I'm going to go push Michael on the swing (Emily heads off to Michael on the swings)

Jason was sitting on the bench by himself. His thoughts drift to Robin. For so long, he pushed Robin from his mind. Now it seems, she's all he thinks about. He can close his eyes and see Robin laughing. He can feel how warm it felt when she sat on the couch cuddling with him. He can remember how soft her hair felt. The cottage. Robin spent so much time making the cottage their home. Caitlin. A child Robin thought she would never have. A child they created together. Jason wipes the tears from his eyes. Their child is gone. What have I done?

Setting: Mac's house.

Robin: Hi Mom.

Anna: You're home early.

Robin: I'm off tonight.

Anna: Any plans?

Robin: I have a date with Luis.

Anna: Luis?

Robin: Yes. Why?

Anna: Nothing. I was thinking it's a good thing Mac's working late tonight.

Robin: He is? Uncle Mac never liked anyone I dated

Anna: It's expected. You're his only niece.

Robin: Are you ok with this?

Anna: I am if you are happy.

Robin: I actually am.

Anna: Why don't you go get ready? What time will Luis be here?

Robin: (looks at her watch) In about half an hour.

Anna: Go! Get ready... (Robin runs up the stairs)

Setting: The Grille

Luis: Did I tell you, you look very beautiful, my Robin?

Robin: Yes (she responded shyly)

Luis: The many faces of Robin Scorpio.

Robin: I only have one face, Luis.

Luis: Let me count, there's the happy, excited, childlike, shy, and sad...

Robin: I get your meaning. I haven't been here in a long time. Thank you.

Luis: Thank you for coming. We haven't spent very much time together.

Robin: I know. It seems the hospital takes up all my time.

Luis: All? No time for fun and relaxation?

Robin: Here and there. I'm glad to be busy.

Luis: What are you hiding from, my Robin?

Robin: Why do you say that?

Luis: I know you.

Robin: Am I that obvious?

Luis: Actually no. But we were very close once.

Robin: Then why don't I know anything about you?

Luis: What would you like to know?

Robin: (thinks) Do you have any family?

Luis: None that matters.

Robin: That's not an answer.

Luis: How's your Mom? Does she like living in Port Charles?

Robin: Don't change the subject.

Luis: Weren't we talking about family?

Robin: Yes. Yours.

Luis: I rather talk about yours.

Robin: You're really bad.

Carly: (yells) HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE (looking down at Robin)

Robin: (ignores Carly) Would you like some dessert, Luis?

Luis: (going along with Robin) I heard the chocolate mouse is to die for.

Carly: (in an even louder voice) ANSWER MY QUESTION!

Robin: (looks upset) Excuse me, Luis. (Robin gets up from her chair and look at Carly up and down) Why would I answer you?

Carly: Haven't you caused enough trouble? You took Jason's son away from him. You broke up my family because you couldn't have one of your own...

Jason: (standing at the entrance way with Sonny) Carly, that's enough!

Carly: Don't defend her Jason. She took Michael away from you.

Jason: I said enough (Jason looks at Robin. Robin has on a straight face but inside Jason knew she was hurting)

Robin: (Robin looks at Jason, disgusted) I don't want to be involved in your latest scheme. Do you mind taking this somewhere else?

Carly: You bitch! Who do you think you are? (She goes for Robin. Sonny grabs Carly)

Robin: (in a stern voice) I wouldn't try if I were you. Your mobster husband and lap friend won't be able to help you.

Carly: Are your threatening me?

Robin: It's the facts!

Sonny: (finally speaks up) Robin, we're sorry to interrupt your dinner. Jason, Carly let's get to our table.

Robin sits back down. Jason looks at Robin but Robin refused to acknowledge him. Jason walks away with Sonny and Carly.

Robin: (sighs) Sorry about that.

Luis: No need to apologize. You handled it perfectly. Now I understand.

Robin: Understand?

Luis: You never mentioned names.

Robin: Because I was ashamed.

Luis: You corrected your mistake, Robin. That's all you can do

Across the room...

Carly: (sits down) How can you let her talk to me that way?

Sonny: What way? I saw you yelling and Robin trying her best to ignore you.

Carly: I can't believe you're taking her side after all she's done.

Jason: (looks away from Robin to Carly) Robin didn't do anything.

Carly: She took your son away from Jason.

Jason: Who is Michael's father now? (Jason looks at both Sonny and Carly. He gets up from the table and leaves)

Sonny: Jason (but Jason didn't stop) Can't you leave it alone, Carly?

Carly: I didn't do anything.

Sonny: You never do anything. It always comes to you.

Carly: What do you mean by that?

Sonny: Why do you have to get in Robin's face? Robin doesn't have Jason. What more do you want?

Carly: I don't want her here.

Sonny: Live with it. This was Robin's home way before you came here.

Carly: I can't believe you're saying this.

Sonny: It's the facts. You're going to alienate Jason if you keep going after Robin. He may not be with Robin but he still cares for her. He won't watch you hurt Robin again.

Carly: Jason doesn't feel anything for Robin.

Sonny: You only hope.

Setting: Outside of Mac's house later

Robin: Thank you for tonight.

Luis: I'm sorry for the interruptions.

Robin: (smiles) There's no interruption now.

Luis: No, there isn't (understanding Robin's statement. Luis leaned down to give Robin a long kiss)

In the distance, Jason is watching Luis and Robin. He feels his heart break watching Robin kiss someone else. He finally understood what Emily meant. He was losing Robin's heart to someone else.

Setting: GH's break room

Robin has been working non-stop since her date with Luis. She's been trying to keep busy to avoid thinking about anything else. The encounter with Carly was still bothering Robin. When will I be able to get her out of my life, Robin thought. Thinking of Carly made her remember how much she lost. But then Robin realized how much she has to be grateful for. Her mother is alive and healthy. Uncle Mac is happy. Then there's Luis. Luis made Robin feel safe. Thinking of Luis made Robin smiled.

Nicholas: What's that smile for? (catching Robin off guard)

Robin: Nicholas! What are you doing here?

Nicholas: I haven't seen you in a while.

Robin: I've been working mostly.

Nicholas: I see that. So work brings that smile to your face?

Robin: It does.

Nicholas: You can't fool me Robin. Who is it?

Robin: Who? What do you mean?

Nicholas: Whom were you thinking about when I walked in?

Robin: Luis.

Nicholas: Alcazar?

Robin: Yes. I didn't want to say anything.

Nicholas: Robin, we're friends. I want you to be happy. If it's Luis who makes you happy then I'm fine.

Robin: How? Luis killed your aunt.

Nicholas: We've been over this. I don't know if I blame Alcazar. It was the whole situation that I blamed.

Robin: (not wanting to upset Nicholas further) How have you been?

Nicholas: A little busy. Gia's been a way a lot.

Robin: What's going on Nicholas?

Nicholas: (smiles at Robin) I swear you can read my mind.

Robin: Not really. I just know you. Spill it.

Nicholas: I'm having some problems with Gia. It seems lately all we do is argue with each other. The other times, she's in New York. She doesn't even call anymore.

Robin: When did this start?

Nicholas: I guess a few months ago. I don't know what to do about it.

Robin: Have you tried to talk to Gia?

Nicholas: I've tried. She's just so occupied with her career. I don't think she realized that we're having problems.

Robin: Then you need to tell her. Don't let it continue.

Nicholas: I understand what you're saying Robin.

Robin: Is there something else?

Nicholas: I don't know if I want to try anymore.

Robin: Why? Have you stopped loving Gia?

Nicholas: No.

Robin: Nicholas? (sensing his hesitation)

Nicholas: I've started to have feelings for someone else.

Robin: Emily?

Nicholas: How did you know?

Robin: I've seen you 2 around each other.

Nicholas: Do you think Emily feels anything for me?

Robin: I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is she won't pursue her feelings while you're with someone else.

Nicholas: (disappointed) Gia.

Robin: Nicholas. Emily is right. It won't be fair to her, Gia or yourself.

Nicholas: What do I do?

Robin: You need to decide how you still for Gia. Don't get Emily involve in your situation with Gia. Emily deserves better.

Nicholas: I would never hurt Emily.

Robin: I know you would never intentionally hurt Emily but sometimes our actions or lack of causes pain.

Nicholas: You're talking about what happened between you and Jason.

Robin: Not specifically. My situation with Jason is very different from your situation with Emily.

Nicholas: You still hurting.

Robin: It's getting less everyday. I try not to let it control me.

Nicholas: You know, Jason hasn't really been with anyone else since you left. Elizabeth tried but she couldn't break through his barrier.

Robin: What do you mean?

Nicholas: Jason wouldn't let her get close.

Robin: (she thinks about what Nicholas said) I don't care about Jason anymore.

Nicholas: Are you sure about that? He was a very big part of your life.

Robin: I can't let him be part of my life now.

Nicholas: Can you honestly say that you don't care what happen to Jason?

Robin: It doesn't matter if I care or don't. He's not a part of my life.

Nicholas: I've never been a big fan of Jason but I was there when you were with him. He made you very happy, Robin. Can you deny yourself that happiness?

Robin: (sadly) That happiness came with a lot of pain. I can't take the pain again.

Setting: Mac's house

Anna: What do you want to do about dinner?

Mac: I guess Robin won't be home.

Anna: She's pulling in more double shifts.

Mac: We barely see her. I wonder what's troubling her.

Anna: What do you mean?

Mac: She usually keeps busy when she doesn't want to think about something.

Anna: She hasn't said anything to me.

Mac: She won't. She tries to put on a tough front. She doesn't like the attention.

Anna: I think I understand. I'll try to catch her tonight. Has she said anything to you about Alcazar?

Mac: No. I don't know what I'll say when she does.

Anna: Try to be calm, Mac.

Mac: I don't know if I can. I thought Jason was dangerous but Alcazar beats him hands down. I almost wish for the days of Jason again.

Anna: Are you serious? You wish Robin were seeing Jason instead?

Mac: I must be going out of my mind (he puts his head in hands)

Anna: (Anna walks over to Mac and puts an arm around Mac's shoulder) Mac, you're not going crazy. You just care too much. I thank you for loving Robin so much.

Mac: (looks at Anna) You don't have to thank me. She's my only niece. I don't know how you remain so calm.

Anna: Oh Mac. I'm not calm on the inside. I worry but Robin is her own woman. She'll decide what's best for her.

Mac: If that's Alcazar?

Anna: Then we'll support her. He did save her life.

Mac: And that's the only reason why I haven't gone after him.

Anna: (smiles) You may be rough on the outside but on the inside you are the most loving and royal person.

Mac: Don't tell anyone.

Anna: It'll be our secret (Anna kisses Mac softly.)

Setting: Along the streets of Port Charles, dusk

Robin is doing her almost daily run. She hasn't run for several days because of her schedule. Her schedule has been so busy. Robin is hoping the run will help clear her mind. She's had so much on her mind lately. Thoughts of Jason and Luis are battling with each other. She doesn't want to think of Jason but every time she thinks of Luis, Jason appears. Why am I thinking of Jason, Robin thought, he's no longer a part of my life? Robin continues to run when she felt a pair of arms grabbing her from the back. She tried to fight it off but it was too strong and then everything went black.

Jason was walking toward the bridge when he spots a small body lying on the ground. He looked around and didn't see anything or anyone. He slowly walked up to the body. He carefully taps the shoulder but no respond. Jason carefully turns the small body over. He grasped when he saw that it was Robin. He reached for her pulse and he felt one but her body felt terribly cold. He didn't know how long she had been there. Jason carefully picked up Robin and walked to his bike. The snow started coming down heavier. Damn, how am I going to you to GH in the snow, Jason thought. Jason tries to protect Robin's body with his jacket.

Jason: You're going to be ok, Robin (he gathers Robin in front of him and rode off on the bike. The snow and wind picked up more. Jason was worried about handling the bike with Robin in his arms. Jason looked around for some kind of shelter when he recognized where he was. He got off the bike with Robin and hurriedly made haste. He finally reached the boxcar. It took a while for Jason to open the door but he was finally able to. He laid Robin gently on the floor. Jason got out a lighter. He looked around for some candles and blankets to cover Robin. There were some half used candles and Jason lit one of them. Jason also found some old dust covers and blanket. He spread them out next to the candle and laid Robin on top of it. Jason moved his hands up and down Robin's body to feel for anything broken. Everything felt okay but Robin was shaking uncontrollably. Jason wrapped Robin tightly in the blanket but she wouldn't stop shaking. Jason didn't know what to do to warm Robin up. Jason finally undressed Robin and himself. He laid himself next to Robin and wrapped the blanket around them.)

Jason: Please Robin wake up. I need you to wake up (Jason continues to hold Robin tightly in his arms and rubs his hands up and down Robin's body) Show my your brown eyes, Robin. I want to see your beautiful blush. I know you are once you realize that we're lying naked next to each other. Robin, show me your blush (Jason continues to talk to Robin while rubbing down her body. Robin has stopped shaking but her color hasn't returned) Do you know how good it feels to have you in my arms, Robin? I can smell your jasmine fragrance. Robin, please open your eyes. I don't know how to have a one-way conversation. I need you to tell me if I'm helping you. Please Robin (tears come to Jason's eyes) I can't lose you now Robin. I finally found you again. I have to apologize to you. Won't you let me do that? Please Robin. I understand it all now Robin. I understand why you had to tell AJ. I understand what I was doing was wrong. I understand that I took you for granted. Robin, open your eyes. I want you to see the person you fell in love. I want to be that person Robin. I'll do whatever it takes (Jason place light kisses all over Robin's face) I love kissing you. I remember you telling me how you can still feel my kiss on your lips. Do you feel this Robin? Please kiss my back Robin. I've missed kissing you so much. Robin please, I'm getting scared. You're not opening your eyes. I don't know what else to do (Jason closed his eyes and pulled Robin even tighter. Jason continued to talk to Robin as the hours passed.)

Robin feels something soft against her cheek. She feels so warm. She wanted to open her eyes but she was so tired. She can feel soft movements against her body. Robin finally opened her eyes. She feels disoriented. She looks and sees she lying against someone's chest. Someone's very nice chest, she thought. She raised herself up a little. She was shocked to see who it was.

Robin: (barely audible) Jason?

Jason: (opens his eyes at Robin's voice) Robin? Robin, you're awake (he smiles at her) How are you feeling?

Robin: (she looks at Jason weirdly) What am I doing here? Where am I?

Jason: Don't you recognize this place?

Robin: (Robin looks around. She sees some painting against the wall) It looks almost like the boxcar.

Jason: It is the boxcar. I didn't know where else to take you.

Robin: (rubs her eyes) Why am I here? (She finally feels Jason's body against her) Why are you here?

Jason: I know you have questions. I'll answer them as soon you tell me how you're feeling.

Robin: I'm tired but I feel fine.

Jason: Thank god. You had me worried (Jason hugs Robin and lightly runs his hands down Robin's back.)

Robin: (feeling all sensations that Jason's touch was causing) I don't understand.

Jason: I couldn't stop you from shaking. I didn't know how else to keep you warm.

Robin: (yawning) I still don't understand.

Jason: (seeing Robin's eyes closing) Sleep Robin. We'll talk later (Jason gathers Robin's body in his arms. They fell asleep together.)

Jason was having such a nice dream. He and Robin were running along the beach. Robin is running ahead of him, laughing. He finally catches up to her and pulls her into a kiss. I love you, Jason. I love you Robin, Jason said in his sleep. Jason woke up in start. He looked and Robin wasn't next to him. He panicked until he saw Robin sitting on a crate in corner with a blanket around her. He breathes a sigh of relief.

Jason: How long have you been up?

Robin: Just a while (trying not to look at Jason)

Jason: How are you feeling? (Jason sits up with blanket covering him from the waist down)

Robin: Fine (she smiles weakly, still not looking at Jason)

Jason: Robin, look at me. How are you feeling?

Robin: (Robin turns her eyes to Jason. She slowly looks Jason. She starts from the blanket, to his chest, his mouth, his eyes. She can feel herself burning up from looking at Jason) I'm fine.

Jason: You're coloring is back (notices her blush) you want to come over here and sit?

Robin: (quickly shakes her head) No, I'm fine here.

Jason: Come here and sit. You're getting cold sitting over there. I promise not to touch you.

Robin: (still shakes her head) The door is jammed.

Jason: It's probably from the snow. It came down pretty heavily last night. (Robin still looked uncertain) Can I come and sit next to you?

Robin: (shakes her head) I don't have any clothes on.

Jason: (smiles at Robin's shyness) I had to take them off last night. I didn't want you to catch pneumonia.

Robin: Oh (she looks away from Jason)

Jason: Robin, I just want to sit next to you to keep you warm. I promise. (Robin looks at Jason with doubts) We'll just talk. (Robin finally nods her head. Jason makes his way toward Robin with the rest of the blankets) Can I put my arms around you?

Robin: (Robin looks up at Jason) Yes (she scoots closer to Jason as he put his arm around her.)

Jason: I'm sorry I brought you here. The snow and wind were kicking up and I didn't think I could control the bike while holding you.

Robin: Thank you for helping me. I know you didn't have to.

Jason: Robin, how can you say I didn't have to. I couldn't leave you.

Robin: You already did. It wouldn't be hard a second time.

Jason: I would never want anything to happen to you Robin. Don't you know what that would do to me?

Robin: I don't know you (fighting her feelings for Jason.)

Jason: (turn around and look at Robin) Robin, you know me. You've always known me. You know me in every sense of the word.

Robin: (starts to cry) I don't know you.

Jason: (gathers Robin in his arms) Robin, you know me. You made me (Jason touches Robin's head) We lost sight of each other but we've always known each other. You're the only person who understands my heart.

Robin: (wanting to push out of Jason's arms) Don't. I can't do this (she tries to get up but Jason wouldn't let her go)

Jason: (trying to calm Robin) Do you remember what happened?

Robin: I was running when I felt someone grabbed me. I tried to fight but everything went black.

Jason: Did you see who it was?

Robin: No.

Jason: As soon as it stops snowing, I'll take you to GH.

Robin: You don't have to.

Jason: I'll take you (not wanting Robin to stop talking to him) how do you like working at the GH?

Robin: (Robin looks at Jason but he just smiles) I enjoy it. It keeps me busy.

Jason: Have you done any surgery?

Robin: I've observed Monica in surgery a couple of days ago. Monica's technique and skills overwhelmed me.

Jason: Monica has been doing a long time. Why did you choose neurosurgeon?

Robin: The brain is such a challenge to me. It's so delicate, intricate and complicated. I ask myself how I'm going to master it.

Jason: You will. You have such dedication.

Robin: I'll need more than dedication. But I'm so grateful for Monica and Tony's teachings.

Jason: (notices Robin rubbing her arms) You're cold. Why don't sit on my lap and we can wrap the extra blanket around us.

Robin: I don't know.

Jason: Robin, you're a doctor. Body heat is the best way to keep warm. (Robin realized that Jason was right. She scoots on top of Jason's lap. She hesitate touching Jason but Jason just pulled her close) Isn't this warmer?

Robin: (shyly avoids looking at Jason's chest) Thank you.

Jason: Do you like GH better than the hospital in Paris? (trying to keep his mind from going crazy with Robin so close to him)

Robin: I guess so. But I miss the people in Paris. They were very good to me.

Jason: Are you going to go back after your residency is over?

Robin: I don't know. I might. I haven't thought that far.

Jason: (sad at thought of Robin leaving again) I'm sure your mom and Mac wouldn't want you to leave.

Robin: I don't know about that. They're so busy.

Jason: Well, I know Brenda will miss you, so will Emily, Lucky and Liz, Nicholas...

Robin: They've survived without me before.

Jason: (quietly) I'll miss you.

Robin: (Robin turns and look at Jason, not believing what she's hearing) What did you say?

Jason: (looks at Robin in the eyes) I'll miss you.

Robin: Why?

Jason: Because I will.

Robin: You did fine when I left last time.

Jason: Because my anger kept me from missing you.

Robin: And now?

Jason: My anger died a long time ago.

Robin: What are you saying?

Jason: (hesitate, not wanting to scare Robin away) That I've been missing you for a long time.

Robin: (can't believe that Jason is saying this) Why are you telling me this?

Jason: I don't want to hide it anymore.

Robin: Why?

Jason: Because I want to be a part of your life, Robin.

Robin: (shocked by Jason's confession. She just looks at him) I don't know what to say.

Jason: Say you'll let me be part of your life.

Robin: I don't know, too much as happened.

Jason: Please Robin. We can take it slow. We can be friends.

Robin: We can't be friends. Not after all that happened.

Jason: Robin, we can't ignore each other. We're bound to run into each other. Port Charles is a small city.

Robin: Then we'll have to try to keep out of each other's way.

Jason: I don't want to keep out of your way.

Robin: (Robin gets off on Jason's lap. She takes a few steps and turned around to Jason) I can't do this (Robin starts rubbing her head and her hair came loose. Robin stood before Jason with a sheet wrapped around her body and her beautiful long hair flowing down her back)

Jason: (Jason just look at Robin. She was breathtaking standing before him) Robin, you're beautiful.

Robin: What?

Jason: (Jason gets up and walk toward Robin) Your hair is so long (he lightly touches Robin's hair)

Robin: I just never seem to have the time to get it cut. So I just put it in a bun.

Jason: I remember how soft your hair feels against my body after we make love...

Robin: (covers her ears with her hands) Don't. I don't want to hear this.

Jason: (he puts his hands on Robin's shoulder) I remember how you whispered my name when I held you close against me.

Robin: (steps back from Jason, with tears in her eyes) I can't do this. I don't want to hear anymore. I don't want to remember.

Jason: I remember every single detail about you and us. I don't want to forget. It's a part of me.

Robin: (angry) What about what I want? Do you care what I want?

Jason: Robin, you want me. I felt it when I held you last night. I felt just now when I was holding you.

Robin: No, I don't want you. I can't want you. I'm not what you want.

Jason: You're always what I want. Wanting you is breathing to me.

Robin: (she yells at Jason) Don't lie to me. You didn't want me. You let me go (she gathers herself and walk toward a corner.)

Jason: (defeated that he didn't get through to Robin, Jason rubs his eyes. He didn't know what else to say to Robin.) I'm going to check the door. Why don't you get your clothes on? (Jason puts his clothes back on and tried the door. The door opened after a while) Come on, I'm going to take you to GH.

Robin: (finished putting her clothes on) You can just drop me off at Uncle Mac's.

Jason: No. I'm going to take you to GH.

Robin: Fine (she jumps off the boxcar and started walking. Jason grabbed the blanket and followed Robin.)

Jason: (hands Robin the blanket) Why don't you wrap this around you? Do you think you can hold on or would you rather sit in front of me?

Robin: (not trusting herself) I'll sit behind you.

Setting: GH emergency room

Alan: (sees Jason walking in with Robin) Jason. Robin. What happened?

Robin: (looking weak) Hi Alan.

Jason: I found Robin passed out outside last night. Her body was very cold. I tried to warm her up.

Alan: Come on Robin. Let's get you check out. Jason, will you call Anna and Mac? (Alan leads Robin off. Jason watches them go)

Setting: Nick and Gia's place

Nicholas: Gia, calm down.

Gia: Calm down. How do you expect me to be calm when my career is dying in front of my eyes?

Nicholas: You're not losing your career, just the Deception contract.

Gia: I can't believe that she did this. She's back in town less than 6 months and my career goes down the drain.

Nicholas: What did Brenda say exactly?

Gia: Some stuff about Deception is the most important thing and that she felt that Deception wasn't a priority to me.

Nicholas: Did she say if she found someone else?

Gia: I didn't ask and I don't really care if they do. I can't believe they're doing this. You know, if Laura were around this would not happen.

Nicholas: I'm sorry that you lost the contract but now you have no obligations to hold you back.

Gia: I know that. I just don't like it that Brenda thought I wasn't good enough.

Nicholas: I know Brenda doesn't think that.

Gia: How because she's Robin's best friend?

Nicholas: What? What does Robin have to do with this?

Gia: I've noticed how much time you've spending with her since she's been back.

Nicholas: We're good friends.

Gia: Yeah, right. I've seen the way you look at her.

Nicholas: What are you getting at, Gia?

Gia: I'm not dumb and I'm not blind.

Nicholas: I never implied that you were either. I don't get it. You're mad about losing the Deception contract and now you're accusing me of having feelings for Robin.

Gia: Don't you?

Nicholas: I told you we're good friends. Robin helped me through a rough period in my life. I can't turn my back on her.

Gia: But it's okay for you to turn your back on me?

Nicholas: Gia, I have stood by you every step of the way. I even tried to help with your career by arranging some cover shots. You didn't want my help any longer.

Gia: I don't have time for this. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with my career.

Nicholas: What are you thinking?

Gia: I don't know but I'm hell not going to sit by and let all my hard work go down the drain (she gets her purse and head for the door)

Nicholas: Where are you going?

Gia: It's time for me to find myself an agent.

Nicholas: You want me to come with you?

Gia: No. I'll see you later (she leaves)

Setting: GH waiting room

Jason has been waiting for Alan to give an update. He made his phone call to Mac. Mac wasn't very happy to hear his voice. Jason was thinking about his conversation with Robin when Mac and Anna walked in.

Anna: Jason? How's Robin

Jason: Alan hasn't come back yet.

Mac: What happened?

Anna: Mac, stay calm.

Jason: I found Robin last night lying on the ground close to the bridge. I was going to take her to GH but it was snowing heavily and I only had my bike. I took her to a shelter and kept her warm.

Anna: Did she tell you what happened?

Jason: She said that she was running when she felt someone grabbed her from behind and then she passed out.

Mac: I can't believe this. She's back in town less than 4 months and this happens. Why can't you and Corinthos stay away from her?

Anna: Mac. You can't blame this on Jason. If it wasn't for Jason, Robin might still be out on the street.

Jason: This doesn't have anything to do with the organization. Everyone knows Robin is no longer connected to Sonny and I.

Mac: Let's keep it that way.

Anna: This is not helping. It sounds like Robin was mugged.

Mac: What was Robin doing running at night?

Anna: She's been under some stress. It's her way of releasing some tension.

Alan: Anna, Mac, Jason.

Anna: Alan, How's Robin?

Alan: She's tired. She has a little bump on the head but her body temperature is normal.

Jason: She didn't have her meds for last night and this morning.

Alan: We gave her back dosages. You did really well in keeping her warm Jason.

Mac: (looking at little relieved) Can we see her?

Alan: Yes but keep it short. She needs her rest. I'll see you later.

Anna: Thank you Alan. I'm going to see Robin.

Mac: I'm coming with you (he stops and look at Jason) Thank you.

Jason: (shocked at Mac addressed him) Your welcome.

Setting: Robin's room

Anna: You had us worry (she goes to hug Robin)

Robin: (smiles) Mom. Uncle Mac.

Mac: No more running at night for you.

Robin: Oh, Uncle Mac

Anna: Alan said you're going to be fine.

Robin: He told me.

Mac: Robin, do you remember what happened?

Robin: I was running when I felt someone grabbed me from behind. I tried to fight it off when everything went black.

Mac: Did you see anything?

Robin: No.

Mac: I'm going to check with Taggert to see if there was anything going on last night (he walked out of Robin's room)

Robin: I'm sorry I made you worry.

Anna: Don't be. I'm just glad you're alright. Jason is in the waiting room.

Robin: He is? I thought he would have left by now.

Anna: I don't think he's going anywhere. Are you ok?

Robin: Alan said I'm fine.

Anna: I don't mean physically. How are you doing with Jason?

Robin: I don't know. I woke up in his arms. It took me a moment to realize that I wasn't dreaming.

Anna: You dream being with Jason?

Robin: I did for the longest time but I forced myself to stop. Then lately, I've been thinking of him. I don't want to think of him but I can't stop myself. Uh! I'm so confused.

Anna: Honey, it's normal for you to think of Jason. He was a big part of your life. I'm sure you being in the same town with each other are bringing the memory back.

Robin: Mom, I don't want to remember. I just want to forget it.

Anna: Robin. Our past makes us who are today. You can't runaway from your past.

Robin: Even if it's a painful one?

Anna: Yes. Was it all painful, Robin? Do you only remember the pain?

Robin: No, I remember us laughing, sleeping, kissing.

Anna: I say those are happy memories.

Robin: But I don't know what to do. I thought Jason was my past.

Anna: Is he your past because your relationship ended or because circumstances forced it to end? Did you have closure?

Robin: I don't know Mom.

Anna: I know it's hard to face your past but you have to. You need to decide if you still have feelings for Jason or do you just need to end things with him properly.

Robin: Why does life become so complicated?

Anna: (smiles) That's why it's call life, honey.

Setting: Robin's room later that day

Jason is sitting on the chair watching Robin sleep. She sleeps so peacefully. He wished he knew what Robin was dreaming about. She had a little smile on her lips. Robin slowly opens her eyes.

Jason: Hi. How you're doing?

Robin: I'm fine just a little tired.

Jason: When is Alan releasing you?

Robin: He wants to keep me here overnight for observation.

Jason: That's good.

Robin: Thank you for helping me.

Jason: Your welcome, Robin.

Robin: About what happened...

Jason: Don't say it. I meant every word I said. I want to be a part of your life again, Robin. I won't avoid you.

Robin: I told you we can't be friends.

Jason: Then we won't. We'll be something else but I won't stay away from you, Robin.

Robin: You're just making this harder.

Jason: It's harder not to have you in my life. You're tired. I'll let you rest (Jason looks at Robin once more, turns and walks out. He feels better having told Robin he wants to be part of her life. He had to find a way for Robin to let him in again)

Setting: Mac's house later that night.

Anna: (walking through the front doors) Hi. I thought you still be at the station.

Mac: Taggert told me to go home.

Anna: (laughs) Were you looking over his shoulder?

Mac: I wanted to know if he had any information regarding Robin.

Anna: (she sits down next to Mac and reached for his hand) I know you're worried, so am I. But maybe it was a random mugging.

Mac: I just don't like her being hurt.

Anna: We're very lucky to have you in our corner (she leans into Mac and kiss him)

Mac: It's a nice corner to be in (Mac guides Anna to lay with him on the couch as they continue to kiss and touch each other) Is there anywhere you want me to be?

Anna: Right here is just fine (She goes back to kissing Mac)

Setting: Jason's penthouse

Jason is sitting on the couch looking at the walls. His thoughts drift back to Robin. She was fighting him. He doesn't know how to break through her barrier. Jason smiled thinking how beautiful Robin looked with the sheet wrapped around her and her hair flowing down her shoulders. She was too angry to realize that he could see through the sheet.

Sonny: (walking through the door) What are you smiling about?

Jason: Nothing.

Sonny: Where have you been?

Jason: I had some things to take care of.

Sonny: Is it the warehouse?

Jason: No. I do have other things going on.

Sonny: Ok. How's Courtney dealing with AJ?

Jason: I don't know. I haven't seen her.

Sonny: I thought you're keeping an eye on her.

Jason: I was. Since AJ is the stalker I don't see what's the point.

Sonny: I still want her protected.

Jason: Then why don't you protect her?

Sonny: (yelling) What the hell is going on with you?

Jason: I have some things going on.

Sonny: Anything I can help you with?

Jason: No. About Courtney, she wants to be with AJ. I can't interfere with that.

Sonny: AJ is a liar and a drunk. He's not good enough for Courtney.

Jason: According to you.

Sonny: What do you mean? Do you have a different opinion of AJ?

Jason: I said I can't interfere with AJ and Courtney.

Sonny: Fine, I'll have Johnny watch her (Sonny looks at Jason) Are you sure you don't want to talk?

Jason: Yeah, I'm fine.

Setting: Kelly's next morning.

Liz: (wiping down the counter when she saw Jason walk in) Hi Jason.

Jason: Hi Liz.

Liz: What can I get for you?

Jason: I'll have a cup of coffee. I also need a cup of soup and a muffin to go.

Liz: (pours Jason some coffee) Here's your coffee. Let me go get your to go stuff.

Jason: Thank you (Jason drinks his coffee. He's been trying to think of a way to break through Robin's barrier since last night and nothing has come to mind)

Liz: Jason, are you alright?

Jason: I'm fine, just thinking.

Liz: Anything I can help you with?

Jason: No, I don't think so.

Liz: Jason, I hope that we're friends. I owe you a great deal. I like to help if I can.

Jason: I don't know if it would help.

Liz: Try me.

Jason: It's Robin.

Liz: (smiles) I wondered how long you would be able to stay away from her.

Jason: (looks at Liz not understanding) What do you mean?

Liz: The times that we were together, I always felt that you were holding back. I thought it was the business until Robin came back into town.

Jason: I didn't mean to hurt you.

Liz: And you didn't. I think we connected because I had lost Lucky and you Robin. But deep down, I think we both knew that we were better as friends.

Jason: You're not mad at me?

Liz: I'm sad that we're not as close as we used to be but I'm not mad. I'm actually glad that we didn't force the issue. I would like to have you as a friend again.

Jason: I miss not seeing you.

Liz: So, tell me about Robin.

Jason: She doesn't want anything to do with me.

Liz: Did she tell you this?

Jason: Pretty much.

Liz: Did she say why?

Jason: Not really but I think it has to do with what happened.

Liz: Can you blame her Jason? She loved you so much and to lose you must have hurt her a great deal.

Jason: I wouldn't hurt her.

Liz: But Robin doesn't know that. She only knows what happened in the past. She's probably scared of getting close to you again.

Jason: How do I change that?

Liz: Why?

Jason: I can't explain why.

Liz: When Lucky and I were getting back together, I was very weary. I wanted to make sure that we weren't going to make the same mistakes again. We both had to understand that we have grown. But in my heart, I really wanted to learn and know Lucky again.

Jason: Are you saying that Robin is a different person?

Liz: She would have to be for the pain she went through of losing you. If you want a chance with Robin, you're going to have to learn and know the new Robin. And you're a different person now Jason, show Robin that.

Jason: How?

Liz: Spend time with her. Talk to her but be patient.

Jason: (thinks for a moment) I think I understand. Thank you (Jason reached for the carryout and gave Liz some money) I'm going to take this to Robin.

Liz: Good Luck.

Jason: (passes Lucky on his way out) Lucky.

Lucky: (shocked that Jason acknowledged him) Jason (Lucky walked toward Liz) Hi. What's that all about?

Liz: (smiles) Robin.

Lucky: That didn't take long.

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: Are you sure you don't want to lie in your room?

Robin: Yes. I've been confined into one room for too long

Anna: It was one day Robin.

Robin: Too long.

Mac: Can I get you anything?

Robin: No, I'm fine. Don't you have to get to work?

Anna: Are you kicking us out?

Robin: Politely, yes.

Mac: Ok, we're leaving. But we'll be home early. What are you going to do?

Robin: I'm just going to relax on this couch and watch some surgery tapes from Tony.

Anna: That doesn't sound very relaxing, honey.

Robin: Oh, yes it is. Ok bye you 2 (Mac and Anna wave goodbye and leave) Finally (Robin was just about to go to kitchen when the doorbell rang) Did you guys forget your keys? (opening the door)

Brenda: What?

Robin: (laughs) Sorry. I just finally got Uncle Mac and Mom to leave. Come in.

Brenda: How are you feeling?

Robin: I'm so fine. Everyone is just overreacting.

Brenda: No, we're not. You suffered hypothermia, Robin.

Robin: But I'm fine now.

Brenda: Thanks to Jason. How is Jason by the way?

Robin: (shifts in the chair) Fine, I guess.

Brenda: What? He didn't camp outside your door?

Robin: He was there yesterday but he didn't come by today.

Brenda: You sound disappointed.

Robin: I'm not.

Brenda: Yeah, sure.

Robin: I don't expect him to be anywhere near me.

Brenda: Were you thinking that when you were in his arms?

Robin: (starts blushing remembering Jason naked) What are you talking about?

Brenda: Robin, you're blushing. What are you thinking about?

Robin: Nothing.

Brenda: Tell me. Did Jason kiss you? What happened between you?

Robin: Nothing.

Brenda: You are as red as a tomato. Tell me what happened?

Robin: Promise you won't tease me.

Brenda: No way. You're my little sister; it's my duty to tease you. Now, spill it.

Robin: Jason was naked.

Brenda: What? Why was he naked?

Robin: He was trying to keep me warm.

Brenda: Why did he have to be naked?

Robin: I guess I wouldn't stop shaking and he didn't know how else to keep me warm.

Brenda: (finally understands) And you had your clothes on while Jason was naked.

Robin: (gets even more embarrassed) Jason also undressed me.

Brenda: (with a huge smile) So you guys were naked together. Wow. I'm getting hot just hearing this.

Robin: Brenda, stop it. I didn't know anything until I woke up.

Brenda: You got to give it to Jason. He's very resourceful. So, what was it like waking up with Jason?

Robin: I don't know. I was so disoriented.

Brenda: And afterwards?

Robin: Confused, embarrassed, mad

Brenda: Why mad?

Robin: Because I was affected by him.

Brenda: Is that so bad?

Robin: I don't like being mad Brenda.

Brenda: No silly. I mean being affected by Jason.

Robin: I don't want to be affected by Jason. I don't want anything to do with him.

Brenda: Are you sure about that?

Robin: What are you asking me?

Brenda: You don't have any feelings for Jason?

Robin: I won't let myself.

Brenda: That wasn't the question.

Robin: I don't see the point in discussing this.

Brenda: Yes, there is. Sweetie, I know you've been hurt and you're probably still mad but I want you to be honest with your feelings for Jason. If you have any feelings for him, you need to explore it or resolve it. You can't go on with your life until you do.

Robin: I've moved on with my life.

Brenda: What about Luis?

Robin: What about him?

Brenda: How do you feel about him?

Robin: I'm very grateful to Luis. I like being with him.

Brenda: Do you see yourself falling in love with him?

Robin: I don't know if I can love anyone again.

Brenda: Then that's wrong, Robin. You have so much to give. You are who you are because of your capability to love completely. Don't deny yourself of that. If you think you can't love Luis because of the past, then you need to resolve that. And if you think you might still care for Jason, you need to explore that.

Robin: I just don't want to get hurt again.

Brenda: I don't want you to get hurt again but shutting yourself off will hurt you in the long run.

Robin: Hey, when did the roles change?

Brenda: I have done some growing up while I was gone.

Robin: How are you doing?

Brenda: Great. Jax and I are getting closer. Skye is trying to delay the divorce.

Robin: How does Jax feel about that?

Brenda: He doesn't want to further hurt Skye by pushing for the divorce.

Robin: How are you handling that?

Brenda: I'm actually fine. I don't feel threatened. I know that Jax loves me.

Robin: And Sonny?

Brenda: Is with Carly. They're going to have a baby together.

Robin: Do you still have feelings for Sonny?

Brenda: I always will but I love Jax more.

Robin: I'm glad things are working out for you. You deserve it.

Brenda: Yeah, now we can work on fixing your life.

Robin: My life doesn't need any fixing.

Brenda: That's what you think.

Setting: Kelly's

Julia is sitting at table reading some papers waiting for Jax to show up.

Sonny: (approaches Julia) Hello Julia.

Julia: (looks up from her papers) Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: You know you can call me Sonny.

Julia: Is there something I can help you with?

Sonny: Are you always this cold and hostile?

Julia: Actually no but you draw it out of me.

Sonny: What can I do to stop that?

Julia: You could leave.

Sonny: And if I rather stay?

Julia: Then I'll leave

Sonny: (sits down in a chair next to Julia) Julia, don't leave.

Julia: (looks at Sonny) You have five minutes.

Sonny: You're a busy lady.

Julia: Yes, I am so if you're finished maybe you can leave.

Sonny: But we haven't talk.

Julia: We don't have anything to talk about Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Sonny.

Julia: Whatever pleases you.

Sonny: It's a little ridiculous to have a conversation with you addressing me as Mr. Corinthos.

Julia: If you don't like how I address you, leave. We don't have anything to talk about.

Sonny: Would you rather kiss me instead?

Julia: Excuse me?

Sonny: I seem to get a better response from you when we're kissing maybe we can do that instead of talking.

Julia: (looks at Sonny, almost speechless) Look that kiss was a mistake. You caught me off guard.

Sonny: (smiles) I felt you respond to the kiss.

Julia: I would prefer that you forget that it happened.

Sonny: I can't do that.

Julia: Well, I have. In case you lost your memory, you're married. You're wife is expecting your child, is she not?

Sonny: That doesn't change the fact that we kissed.

Julia: Like I said it was mistake

At the door, Carly sees Sonny talking to Julia. Carly looks mad as hell. She marched over to their table.

Carly: What the hell is going on?

Sonny: We're talking.

Carly: Like hell you were.

Julia: Could you take this somewhere else?

Carly: Don't take that tone with me miss. I want to know what you were doing with my husband.

Julia: What I was doing was reading some papers until your husband sat down wanting to converse with me. If he needed your approval to speak to other people, you should properly train him to do so. Since I don't have anything else to say to neither one of you why don't you take your babble somewhere else?

Sonny: Carly, let's get a table.

Carly: (gives Julia a nasty look) Fine.

Jax walks in just as Carly and Sonny walk away to their table.

Jax: What was that about?

Julia: (shakes her head) I have no idea. That woman is something.

Jax: Carly? What happened?

Julia: She got riled up seeing her husband talking to me.

Jax: That's Carly being insecure.

Julia: I'm surprise he has any hair left on his head.

Jax: (laughs at Julia's comment) So, how does the contract look?

Julia: I have some problem with the wording. I've made comments on the contract. Why don't you review and have them draw up a new contract?

Jax: I'll do that (looks at Julia) Julia, are you happy?

Julia: Where did that come from?

Jax: I know I basically uprooted you to come out and help me with Brenda. Now that Brenda is happy and well, I don't want you to feel obligated to stay.

Julia: (smiles) I don't feel obligated. I'm glad for the chance to be with Brenda and you. Besides, I don't think I have roots anywhere.

Jax: Then you're happy here.

Julia: Yes. Thank you for your concerns.

Setting: Mac's house later.

Robin has been sleeping on the couch since Brenda left. Robin was dreaming about Luis and Jason when the doorbell wakes her up.

Robin: (rubbing her eyes and yawning) Who can that be? (she slowly make her way to the door. She opens the door and takes another yawn) Yes?

Jason: (quietly) Hi (Robin is startled at seeing Jason. She just looks at him. Jason smiles at her.) You look better.

Robin: What are you doing here?

Jason: I came to the hospital but they said you checked out.

Robin: You went to the hospital?

Jason: Yes. I brought you some food from Kelly's.

Robin: You brought me some food from Kelly's?

Jason: Robin, you're repeating what I'm saying to you.

Robin: (shakes her head a little) Sorry.

Jason: Here (hands Robin the carryout) it's probably cold now.

Robin: Thank you (not knowing what else to say to Jason) Do you want to come in?

Jason: Ok.

Robin: Can I get you anything?

Jason: No, I'm fine (he stands looking at Robin) Why don't you heat that up?

Robin: Oh, ok. Have a seat. I'll be right back (she said quickly. Robin heads to the kitchen and puts the food in the microwave) Get a hold of yourself Robin (still thinking of Jason when the microwave beeps. She grabs the soup and head back out to the kitchen. Jason watches Robin from the couch as she walks in. Robin takes a chair opposite of Jason.) Thank you for this. Kelly's makes the best soup.

Jason: I remembered how much you like the soup there

Robin: (looks over at Jason) Oh.

Jason: Alan released you early.

Robin: I couldn't stand being cooped up in that room anymore.

Jason: How are you feeling?

Robin: I'm fine. Alan wouldn't let me go to work today so I'm hanging out here.

Jason: I agree with Alan.

Robin: You agree with Alan. Wow, things have changed.

Jason: Things are better between Alan, Monica and I.

Robin: Alan and Monica must be happy.

Jason: I think they've accepted who I am and realized their son is not coming back.

Robin: You are still their son. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It's none of my business.

Jason: I know I'm physically their son.

Robin: You don't have to explain anything to me.

Jason: I want to. You were the only person who understood me.

Robin: That was then.

Jason: You're still the only person who understands me.

Robin: (places her soup on the table) No, I don't. I don't know you anymore.

Jason: Yes, you do. I haven't changed that much. I'm still the same person you fell in love with.

Robin: No, you're wrong. You're different person now, you must see that.

Jason: Explain it to me.

Robin: I don't want to get involve.

Jason: All my life, you and Sonny have been the only people who would tell me the truth. You taught me how to live.

Robin: (she looks at Jason and start talking) You embrace life differently now. Before, you had so much enthusiasm about life. Everything was new, exciting and fun. But deep down you had values that neither Sonny nor I taught you. You were kind to Emily and Lila. You were grateful to Alan for helping me. You kept peace with Mac because he was my uncle. You understood that Michael needed his mother. And you didn't lie. Now, I don't see the same person. You don't seem happy. You're married to someone you hate. You're ok with breaking up your brother's marriage. And you lie now.

Jason: I'm not trying to break up AJ's marriage.

Robin: I'm not criticizing you. You asked and I'm just telling you what I see.

Jason: This is why you don't want me part of your life.

Robin: (gets up the chair and starts pacing) Yes...No! How you are now doesn't have anything to do with me. I just don't want you part of me life.

Jason: (gets up, walk and stand in front of Robin) Why Robin?

Robin: I don't have to give you an explanation.

Jason: I'm not going away Robin. I'll keep seeing you.

Robin: You can do whatever you want. I won't be around.

Jason: Yes, you will. I'll do whatever it takes.

Robin: (angry that Jason is getting to her) Can you leave now?

Jason: For now but I will be back.

Robin: No you won't.

Jason: (with determination) Yes, Robin I will (he looks at Robin one last time and leaves)

Robin: God must be angry with me for something (she walks up the stairs)

Setting: GH

Robin is standing at the counter working on some charts when Alexis approached.

Alexis: Hi Robin.

Robin: (smiles) Alexis, hi. You're so big.

Alexis: 4 more weeks to go.

Robin: Are you excited?

Alexis: Yes and nervous.

Robin: You'll do fine. Ned's going to be your coach?

Alexis: Yes. He's excited too.

Robin: Are you here to see Dr. Meadows.

Alexis: Yes, I am as a matter of fact.

Robin: She's really great.

Alexis: She's been very patient with me. I've called her for every single little question.

Robin: It's expected since it's your first pregnancy.

Alexis: How are you doing?

Robin: Great. The hospital is taking up a lot of my time.

Alexis: I'm glad you're back. Mac seems really happy.

Robin: Yes but it's not all because of me.

Alexis: What is it then?

Robin: You'll fine out soon enough.

Alexis: Robin, don't keep me hanging. Tell me.

Ned: (walks up and kiss Alexis on the cheek) Tell you what? Hi Robin.

Robin: Hi Ned.

Alexis: Why Mac is in such a good mood these days.

Ned: Mac is in good mood?

Alexis: Yes, you wouldn't recognize him these days.

Ned: So tell us, Robin.

Robin: Not you too! Don't you guys have a doctor to see?

Alexis: Ok but we'll be back.

Robin: I'll be sure not to be here. Bye (she waves them off)

Amy: They look happy (looking in the direction of Ned and Alexis)

Robin: Yes. They deserve happiness after what they've been through (Robin goes back to writing on the patient charts)

Amy: (sees Alcazar gets off the elevator heading towards Robin) You have a visitor.

Robin: (looking at Amy) What? (She turns and sees Luis) Hi. What are you doing here?

Alcazar: (smiles at Robin) I came to see you. Sorry I didn't come by sooner. I've been out of town.

Robin: It's all right. Amy, I'll be in the break room (Robin leads Luis to the break room)

Alcazar: Are you sure you're supposed to be back at work?

Robin: Yes. Alan approved.

Alcazar: I don't want you to push yourself too hard.

Robin: I'm fine. I need to keep busy.

Alcazar: Why?

Robin: I have a lot on my mind.

Alcazar: Am I on your mind?

Robin: Yes, actually.

Alcazar: I don't like the way that sounds.

Robin: I've been thinking a lot about you and us.

Alcazar: It sounds good so far.

Robin: I don't quite know what to think about you and us. I mean I don't really know you except for how kind you've been to me.

Alcazar: What do you want to know my Robin?

Robin: Everything, anything, nothing. I know I'm not making any sense.

Alcazar: Talk to me.

Robin: I care very much about you, for you but it scares me because I don't know you. Because of what happened in my past, I'm weary about getting into something that I don't know ahead of time. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

Alcazar: You're afraid to get involve with me because you don't know me.

Robin: Yes.

Alcazar: Robin, you do know me.

Robin: No, I know the person you are when you're with me. Outside of that you're a stranger.

Alcazar: Not a stranger.

Robin: Yes. It was a shock to me to learn what you did to Brenda, Jax, Sonny and Alexis. I was rocked to the core. I only knew you as kind and gentle person who helped me grieved for my daughter and moved on with my life. After you told me the truth, I didn't know how to be around you again.

Alcazar: Is that why you pulled away from me?

Robin: Yes. After what happened with Caitlin, I promised myself that I would never betray myself again. I want to stay true to myself and my beliefs.

Alcazar: I am a contradiction to that.

Robin: Yes.

Alcazar: Are you asking me to leave Robin?

Robin: No. You're a big part of my life, Luis. I'm torn between my feelings for you and my knowledge of who you are. I'm scare that you're capable of such actions.

Alcazar: That's in the past, Robin.

Robin: Is it? Are you over Brenda? Are you over your revenge to kill Sonny and Jax?

Alcazar: Brenda is no longer a part of my life.

Robin: But are you over her?

Alcazar: How can you ask me that? You know how I feel about you.

Robin: No Luis. I don't.

Alcazar: Robin, you hold a special place in my heart. A place that I didn't even know existed until you. Brenda was distraction because I was lonely without you.

Robin: What about Sonny and Jax?

Alcazar: I don't think we need to discuss them.

Robin: Yes, we do. Jax is an important person to me. Sonny used to be but I would never want to see him hurt.

Alcazar: What are you asking me, Robin?

Robin: I'm not asking Luis. I can't be with you knowing that one day you'll want to hurt the people that I care about.

Alcazar: Robin, you have to understand.

Robin: No, I only have to understand myself. There was a time that I thought love justifies lies and deceit. But I was wrong. I paid a dear price for that. I won't let that happen again (she walks a little away from Luis)

Alcazar: Robin

Robin: I won't change my mind (not looking at Luis)

Alcazar: (looks sad) I'm sorry that I hurt you. I promised myself that I never would (he turns and walk out the door)

Robin: (turn around) Luis (but he was gone).

Setting: The docks.

Luis is sitting on the bench looking out at he water. He's been here since he left GH. The docks seem to remind him of Robin. Robin. What is he going to do about Robin?

Brenda: What are you doing here?

Luis: It is a public bench.

Brenda: Yeah, but why?

Luis: Why do you want to know, Brenda?

Brenda: I don't.

Luis: Don't you have someone to be with?

Brenda: Are you never going to get over that? I told you from the beginning of my love for Jax and Sonny.

Luis: Yes, you did.

Brenda: Then why?

Luis: Somewhere along the line you became a prize that I had to hold on to.

Brenda: Did you have any feelings for me?

Luis: I did. I wanted to protect you.

Brenda: By trying to kill the people that I love?

Luis: I don't expect you to understand.

Brenda: I don't understand. I don't think I or anyone else will ever understand you.

Luis: I only need one person to understand me.

Brenda: If you think Robin will understand why you want to kill Jax and Sonny. You're sadly mistaken.

Luis: You don't know that.

Brenda: No, that is one thing I know for sure. Robin will not stand by and see the people she loves get hurt. She would die herself before she let that happen.

Luis: Why would you say that?

Brenda: That's how Robin loves. She loves completely and unselfishly.

Luis: You don't think Robin could love me.

Brenda: It surprises me who Robin can love. She continues to love Tony Jones even though he kidnapped her and she almost got sick, she loved little Michael even though she was losing Jason to him, she loved Jason even though he slept with someone else.

Luis: I think I understand.

Brenda: Do you really? If you don't think you can truly and honestly love Robin, then leave. She had too much heartache and pain in her life. I don't know if she can survive losing another person she loves.

Luis: Thank you.

Brenda: For what?

Luis: For wanting Robin's happiness. That's all that I want. (He gets up and leaves Brenda. Brenda watches him leaves thinking about what he said)

Jason: (walking up to Brenda) Hey.

Brenda: Hey.

Jason: It's not safe for you to sit here alone.

Brenda: Jason, it's the middle of the day. I think I'm safe.

Jason: Not while Alcazar is around.

Brenda: I'm safe from him.

Jason: Brenda, he still wants you.

Brenda: He may have wanted me at one point but not anymore.

Jason: What are you talking about?

Brenda: Jason, Luis loves Robin. I think he's going to fight for her.

Jason: What? How do you know that?

Brenda: By what he said.

Jason: What did he say?

Brenda: That he wants Robin to be happy.

Jason: He can't make Robin happy.

Brenda: You don't know Luis. He can be gentle and loving, that's why I trusted him.

Jason: That doesn't mean Robin will trust him.

Brenda: She already does. He saved her life. He's an important part of Robin's life now.

Jason: That doesn't mean she loves him.

Brenda: Jason, you of all people know how Robin loves. I'm surprise that she doesn't love him now.

Jason: (strongly) Robin doesn't love Alcazar.

Brenda: You're hoping so. Did you think she wouldn't love anyone else after you?

Jason: You don't know anything.

Brenda: Well, I know that if you want Robin back you better start fighting for her. You have some stiff competition (Brenda gets up and leaves.)

Setting: Alexis' baby shower at Mac's

Alexis was quite surprise with her baby showers. Liz, Emily, Brenda, Julia, Robin, Anna, Courtney, Gia, Monica, Felicia, Maxie, and Georgie are all present. Everyone is sitting around eating and talking about baby stuff. Alexis is sitting next to Emily opening presents.

Alexis: I'll need 2 cars to bring all these presents home.

Maxie: There's still more presents to open.

Anna: Even though Mac was busy, he wanted to give you this (Anna hands Alexis the small gift)

Alexis: (smiles) Mac shopping for baby items, he's definitely a changed man (Felicia looks at Anna, hurt. Alexis opened the box and it's a little gold charmed bracelet) Oh, it's so beautiful.

Robin: That's Uncle Mac for you. He knows what makes a woman happy.

Alexis: Anna, will you thank Mac for me? It was very thoughtful of him (a little teary eye)

Emily: Ok, don't go crying. Open Robin's present (Emily pushes Robin's present to Alexis)

Alexis: Robin, how did you find the time?

Robin: I'm very resourceful.

Alexis: (removes the wrapping paper and stares at the bassinet) Robin, it's so beautiful. I don't think I've seen one like this anywhere around here.

Robin: I brought it back from Paris. It used to belong to Caitlin (Robin smiles sadly)

Anna: (she goes to Robin) Honey, are you sure?

Robin: Yes. It was so beautiful that I had to buy it for Caitlin. I want Alexis's baby to have something beautiful.

Alexis: (confused) Robin, who's Caitlin?

Robin: Caitlin was my daughter (everyone in the room was stunned and silenced) I'm sorry that I didn't tell you all but it's still too painful for me to talk about Caitlin.

Alexis: (gets up and sits next to Robin. She holds Robin's hands) Thank you so much for this precious gift. My baby and I will treasure it (Alexis hugs Robin)

Robin: Just treasure each other (Robin looks around the room at everyone. She sees everyone looking sad) Ok, no more sad stuff. This party is for Alexis. Who needs more cake?

Emily: (torn at Robin's effort) I need some more cake. Cut me a big piece.

Robin: Ok, I'll be right back (everyone watches Robin leaves for the kitchen, not knowing exactly what to say or do.)

Anna: I know this is a shock to everyone. But Robin doesn't need you to feel sad for her. Please try to be happy for Alexis. That's what Robin wants.

Felicia: Well, why don't you guys clean up the wrapping papers. I'll help Robin bring out the rest of the cake.

Monica: Alexis, have you decided on a name? (Everyone went back to normal activities)

Felicia: (walking in the kitchen) Robin, are you all right?

Robin: (smiles at Felicia) Yes. Are you mad I didn't tell you about Caitlin?

Felicia: I wished I had been there for you.

Robin: I didn't want anyone around. I wouldn't even let Uncle Mac come. I needed to be by myself.

Felicia: Mac knew about Caitlin?

Robin: I called him after Caitlin passed away. I made him promise not to tell anyone, not even you. Jax only found out because he visited me a few times in Paris.

Felicia: I know Mac and I are no longer together but I do hope that you know you can come to me whenever you need anything.

Robin: Thank you Felicia. I love you.

Felicia: (hugs Robin tightly) I love you too. How are you really doing?

Robin: I'm actually happy. Mom is alive. Mac is happy. And I'm going to be a doctor. Life can't get much better.

Alexis: (sneaks her head through the door) Hi. Robin, could I speak to you for a few moments?

Felicia: (picks up the rest of the cake) I'm going to bring this back in.

Robin: What is it Alexis?

Alexis: I wanted to privately thank you for the bassinet. I know it meant a great deal to you.

Robin: Your welcome.

Alexis: Ned and I had an interesting visitor the other day.

Robin: (puzzled) Who?

Alexis: Luis Alcazar.

Robin: I'm sorry he's bothering you. Are you ok?

Alexis: Robin, I'm fine. He came by to apologize about Kristina.

Robin: (surprise) Apologized?

Alexis: Yes and he gave us a set of baby monitors.

Robin: He did? This is such a surprise.

Alexis: For us too. He sounded very sincere and caring.

Robin: That's the Luis I know.

Alexis: I think you're a good influence on him.

Robin: No, he's a good influence on me. If it weren't for Luis, I wouldn't be here today.

Alexis: What do you mean?

Robin: I don't want to get into that now but I do hope that Luis' apology gave you and Ned some closure.

Alexis: It doesn't erase my anger toward him but it does give me closure because he is remorseful of my loss.

Robin: Is that enough for you?

Alexis: For the sake of my baby, it has to be. I don't want to continue carrying this vendetta.

Robin: Thank you, Alexis.

Alexis: Same to you (Alexis gives Robin a hug)

Setting: Brenda's cottage, couple of days later.

Brenda: Where am I going to find the new face of Deception?

Julia: Cosmetics is a new territory for me. I don't know how to help.

Brenda: I don't know what to do either. How do you keep the business running all these years?

Julia: A lot of research. I had always had to be one step ahead of the competition. I have an idea.

Brenda: What? I'll take any idea

Julia: You're trying to bring Deception to a younger market right?

Brenda: Yes, that's our weakest point.

Julia: Well, how about doing a scout at a high school for a new model.

Brenda: If our model is too young, it'll alienate our older customers.

Julia: You can have two models, one for the young generation and one for the mature customers. You can run different ads in different magazines.

Brenda: (thinks about it) That could work. I haven't thought of using an older model. You know, I know a couple of people I could use as the older model.

Julia: Anna?

Brenda: Yes and Felicia. They're both very beautiful, graceful, career-oriented, parents. I can see the ads now "Beautifully working". Oh Julia, this could definitely work.

Julia: So, now all you have to do is decide on your model.

Brenda: I'm going to talk to Jax about scouting at local high schools. That could bring us additional advertisement. I'll talk to Anna and Felicia.

Julia: I can help you research magazines to run your ads.

Brenda: Are you sure you have time?

Julia: Of course, I like to keep busy.

Brenda: Why? What's wrong?

Julia: Nothing. I like to be busy.

Brenda: You know that you can tell me anything, Julia.

Julia: I know. There's just nothing to tell.

Brenda: The offer still stands.

Julia: I ran into Skye the other day at the Grille.

Brenda: How is she? I haven't really seen her around.

Julia: She looked drunk. She made a few comments and then went to the bar.

Brenda: She sounds bad. I wished she wasn't hurting so much.

Julia: Brenda, she lost the man that she loves to someone else. You have to feel for her.

Brenda: I do. That's why I haven't pushed Jax to get a divorce. Sometimes, I think that it might be better if I stayed away. I've hurt a lot of people.

Julia: Don't ever think that, Brenda. My life is so better now with you. I would never trade anything for that. Think of how much happiness you brought back for Robin, Jax, and even Sonny.

Brenda: Sonny. I don't know if he's that happy that I'm back.

Julia: Why do you say that?

Brenda: His life seems complete. He has a family and that's all he's ever wanted. I couldn't give that to him then.

Julia: But you can now.

Brenda: I don't know if I want to. Sonny and I had a very volatile relationship. We kept hurting each other.

Julia: But you love each other.

Brenda: Yes but I don't know if love is suppose to hurt that much. Jax and I love each other intensely but we don't bring pain to each other. Jax balance me out.

Julia: So, you don't love Sonny anymore?

Brenda: I'll always love Sonny but I love Jax more. Jax is my future.

Julia: I'm glad that you're happy.

Brenda: I am. I'm not torn between Sonny and Jax anymore. I have a business to run. I have my family and friends. Life is good.

Julia: Yes, life is good (wondering if she should tell Brenda about Sonny).

Setting: GH

Amy: Hi Anna. How have you been?

Anna: Well, what about you?

Amy: You know me, happy Amy.

Anna: I was looking for Robin.

Amy: I think she's trying to sneak a few wink in the break room.

Anna: Then, I won't disturb her.

Amy: Don't be silly. She'll want to see you. I took her off the rotation for the next 2 hours.

Anna: Thanks Amy.

Amy: Glad to help (she watches Anna walk off. Amy frowns when she sees who walks off the elevator towards her.)

Carly: Where's Dr. Meadows?

Amy: Around somewhere.

Carly: Where, Amy?

Amy: I don't know at this exact moment.

Carly: Well, could you call her office and find out?

Amy: Since you ask so nicely Carly, I'll be happy to.

Bobbie: Carly, what are you doing here?

Carly: I have to see Dr. Meadows.

Bobbie: Is everything all right?

Carly: Yes, why would it not be?

Bobbie: I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't. I was just concerned.

Carly: Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I'm just a little edgy.

Bobbie: Anything I can do?

Carly: Can you make people disappear?

Bobbie: What?

Carly: Nothing.

Amy: Dr. Meadows said she would meet you in her office.

Carly: I have to go (walks off)

Bobbie: What was that about?

Amy: Isn't it always something?

Bobbie: What is that suppose to mean Amy?

Amy: Oh, nothing. I have work to do.

Setting: GH's break room.

Anna: (looks in the door. Robin is sitting at the table reading) Hi darling.

Robin: (smiles) Hi Mom. What are you doing here?

Anna: We keep missing each other the last couple of days.

Robin: Tony is out of town at a conference so I have to cover his rounds.

Anna: Brenda came by to see me.

Robin: What about?

Anna: She wanted to know if I could do some test shots for Deception.

Robin: I don't get it.

Anna: Well, I guess she's trying to diversify Deception. She thinks a real working person would draw in customers.

Robin: That's right. She didn't renew Gia's contract. Are you going to do it?

Anna: I don't know. It could be a mockery to the force.

Robin: I don't think so. Jax and Brenda wouldn't let that happen. It might bring support to the force to have one of their own as a spokesperson for Deception. Have you talk to Uncle Mac?

Anna: No, I didn't take the offer seriously.

Robin: I think you should talk to Uncle Mac. It might be fun.

Anna: Don't you think I'm a little old to be modeling?

Robin: No. You're beautiful Mom. You're proof that a workingwoman can still be beautiful and classy.

Anna: I have to think about it.

Robin: I like the idea so you have my support. How are you doing with Uncle Mac?

Anna: What do you mean?

Robin: How are things going with you and Uncle Mac?

Anna: Fine.

Robin: Fine? That's it?

Anna: Yes. We don't want to rush into anything.

Robin: I don't think you can slow it down anymore. You live with each other. You work with each other.

Anna: We don't exactly live with each other.

Robin: Mom, Uncle Mac cooks dinner for you. That's living with each other. What's really the problem?

Anna: I don't know. I don't want rush into something that I'm not ready for. Mac is important and I don't want to lose him.

Robin: That's good that we've established that Mac is important to you. What else?

Anna: I don't know if he's ready for a relationship.

Robin: (laughs a little) Mom, you are the most aggressive and assertive person I know. Why don't you ask him?

Anna: I can't.

Robin: Why not?

Anna: What about if he's not ready?

Robin: Then you'll know. Uncle Mac is not going anywhere.

Anna: I'm being silly.

Robin: I know you're scared Mom but I think you'll be surprise at Uncle Mac's ability to love. I can almost guarantee that he's ready.

Anna: Are you sure?

Robin: No one knows Uncle Mac like I do. He's ready (Robin looks at her watch) I'm sorry I have to catch Dr. Meadows before she leaves.

Anna: Okay. I'll see you at home.

Setting: Dr. Meadow's office.

Dr. Meadows: Sorry to keep you waiting Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: What's the news?

Dr: Meadows: You're not pregnant but everything does look normal.

Carly: It's not doing me any good if I'm not pregnant!

Dr: Meadows: The mind can sometimes play tricks on you. When you try desperately for something, it might not work. But give your mind some distraction, you be surprise with the result.

Carly: What does that mean?

Dr. Meadows: You might be trying to hard to get pregnant and that can backfire on you.

Robin: (walking through the door with some files) Dr. Meadows, I'm glad I caught you (Robin sees Carly) I'm sorry I interrupted. Amy didn't say you were with a patient. I'll wait outside.

Dr. Meadows: Thank you Robin. I should be done in ten minutes.

Robin: Take your time (Robin goes back outside)

Dr: Meadows: As I was saying, I think we need to give your body time to relax and adjust to the hormone therapy. I suggest you try to stop getting pregnant for two months.

Carly: I can't do that!

Dr. Meadows: There's nothing I can do to force your body to conceive.

Carly: If you can't help me, I'll find someone else.

Dr. Meadows: (trying to calm Carly) Mrs. Corinthos, you can spend your money and time anyway you want but I assure you, another physician will suggest the same thing.

Carly: I won't take that (she walks out of the office. Carly sees Robin sitting in a chair reading. Damn, did she hear anything when she walked in?) Do you always barge into someone's office?

Robin: I've already explained that.

Carly: (gets more mad that Robin was so calm) There is such thing at patient and doctor confidentiality.

Robin: I'm aware of that.

Carly: Why are you here anyway?

Robin: If it's not obvious, I do work here.

Carly: Why are you here in Port Charles? No one wants you here.

Robin: I can name 10 people who want me here. Can you?

Carly: Well Jason doesn't want you here?

Robin: Glad to here it.

Carly: What? You don't care?

Robin: I don't. You can have him. Too bad he still doesn't want you (Robin starts to get up)

Carly: (stands closer to Robin) Jason will always want me. I can give him a child and you can't.

Sonny: CARLY!

Carly: (startled, she steps back from Robin) Sonny

Sonny: What are you doing?

Carly: I'm here to see Dr. Meadows.

Robin: (looks disgustingly between Carly and Sonny) This is enlightening but I have to get back to work.

Sonny: (approaches Robin) Robin, I'm sorry.

Robin: I don't want to hear it (she walks off)

Carly: Why are you apologizing to her?

Sonny: How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from Robin?

Carly: She was in my face.

Sonny: That's not how I saw it Carly. You need to lay off Robin.

Carly: Whatever.

Sonny: Let's go see Dr. Meadows.

Carly: I've already seen her.

Sonny: Why didn't you wait for me? How's everything going?

Carly: (putting on a big smile) Great. Dr. Meadows said I'm doing just fine.

Sonny: That's good (he reaches for Carly's hand) I'll buy you lunch.

Setting: Alcazar's hotel suite, next day

Alcazar: (opens the door) This is a surprise.

Robin: (smiles) May I come it?

Alcazar: Of course, can I get you anything?

Robin: No, I'm fine (Robin nervously looks around the suite) This is the first time I've seen where you live.

Alcazar: Do you approve?

Robin: It's a hotel suite.

Alcazar: It doesn't suit you?

Robin: It doesn't matter. I don't live here.

Alcazar: We could change that (he smiles)

Robin: (looks at Luis weird) What do you mean?

Alcazar: It's lonely here by myself. I could use some company. Preferably you.

Robin: I already have a home.

Alcazar: This could be your second home.

Robin: (shakes her head as if confused) I came here for a reason.

Alcazar: To see me.

Robin: Yes. Alexis told me what you did. Thank you.

Alcazar: No need to thank me. You know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.

Robin: I don't want you to do it for me. I want you to do it for yourself.

Alcazar: It felt good.

Robin: I knew there was a heart in there (Robin touches Luis lightly on the chest)

Alcazar: (holds on to Robin's hand over his heart) Can you feel it beating, my Robin? (Robin nods) You are the reason why.

Robin: (steps back from Luis) Don't say that.

Alcazar: It's the truth.

Robin: I don't want to be responsible for your heart.

Alcazar: It's too late for that.

Robin: I don't know if I'm ready for this. Are you sure you want to get involve with me? I come with a lot of baggage.

Alcazar: It's a very beautiful baggage from what I can see.

Robin: Luis, I'm being serious.

Alcazar: As am I. Robin, you are a beautiful, talented, smart, strong woman. Any man would be lucky to have you.

Robin: I don't know about that.

Alcazar: Don't doubt yourself because of something that happened in the past. It's the past. It made you stronger and better. Do you trust me, my Robin?

Robin: Yes, of course I do.

Alcazar: Then trust me when I tell you that you are a rarity. You hold a special place in a lot of people's hearts. I am an outsider and I can see. You must surely see it.

Robin: I know I have people who love me. I am very grateful for that.

Alcazar: Then why do you doubt my love for you?

Robin: (shocked by Luis's statement) What did you say?

Alcazar: You heard me, my Robin.

Robin: But it can't be.

Alcazar: I assure you it can.

Robin: I can't believe this. I wasn't expecting it (she sits down on the couch)

Alcazar: (kneels down in front of Robin, holding both of her hands) Is it so hard to believe that a man can love a beautiful woman like you?

Robin: I'm not beautiful.

Alcazar: Yes you are. Your beauty is not the only reason why I'm falling in love with you. Your brain excites me also.

Robin: (laughs a little) I aim to please.

Alcazar: You hit the target right on (Luis reaches up to softly kiss Robin. Robin kisses him back slowly. Luis slowly sits on the couch and continues to pull Robin to him. Luis brushes Robin's hair lightly. Robin sighs) My Robin (Luis deepened his kiss to Robin)

Robin: (pulls back slightly) Luis, wait.

Alcazar: What's wrong?

Robin: I don't know if I'm ready.

Alcazar: We're just kissing, my Robin.

Robin: I don't mean that.

Alcazar: Then can we continue?

Robin: Luis. I mean I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship. I'm scared.

Alcazar: I am also scared but I'm willing to take a chance.

Robin: (gets up the couch and starts pacing) I don't know if I can.

Alcazar: I'm not going anywhere. We can take this nice and slow.

Robin: You're willing to wait?

Alcazar: Do you have to even ask?

Robin: I don't want to ever lose you. You're very important to me.

Alcazar: You won't lose me. We'll always have Paris.

Robin: Yes, we will (Robin goes back to sit on the couch next to Luis) But I do want to try.

Alcazar: (pleased with Robin's answer) And I'll be patient.

Setting: The docks

Sonny: (spots Brenda sitting on the bench) Fancy meeting you here.

Brenda: (smiles at Sonny) Hi Sonny. Long time no see.

Sonny: Been busy. You?

Brenda: Deception is keeping me busy but I really like it.

Sonny: It shows.

Brenda: Excited about the new baby?

Sonny: Very. I can't stop smiling.

Brenda: I'm happy for you Sonny. You know all I've ever wanted was for you to be happy. I can see that now.

Sonny: Carly is giving me the family that I want.

Brenda: Which I couldn't.

Sonny: Everything worked out. You're happy with Jax.

Brenda: I am. He brings me peace.

Sonny: Who would have thought that we could be happy apart?

Brenda: Does Carly really make you happy?

Sonny: She tries. She's very loyal to me.

Brenda: But are you happy with Carly?

Sonny: (Julia pops into his mind) As happy as I can be.

Brenda: That's not good enough. What's holding you back?

Sonny: I don't know. Maybe nothing.

Brenda: It's me Sonny (Brenda reaches for Sonny's hand) You know you can tell me.

Sonny: (smiles) There's not really anything to tell.

Walking down the steps, Carly stopped when she saw Brenda holding Sonny's hand. Carly just stood staring at them. Carly holds a hand over mouth as if trying to stop herself from saying anything. She watches as Sonny trace his hand over Brenda's jaw line. God Sonny, how can you do this to me? Carly walks off hastily.

Setting: Mac's house

Robin is lying on the couch watching an old movie. This is her only night off this week and she wanted to enjoy it. Mac and Anna are out on a date so she has the house all to herself. Robin remembered how nervous Mac was waiting for her Mom to come down the stairs. Robin felt lonely seeing how happy Uncle Mac was with her Mom. The doorbell rings.

Robin: (opens the door) Hi AJ.

AJ: Robin, you didn't even know it was I until you opened the door. I could be someone dangerous.

Robin: (smiles) Do you want me to close the door on you and look through the peephole?

AJ: It's a little too late now, Robin.

Robin: You are hard to please. You want to come in?

AJ: I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you.

Robin: It's alright. What's going on?

AJ: It's about Michael.

Robin: What happened?

AJ: Carly and Sonny won't let me see him. Courtney and I went over the penthouse to try to visit Michael and they refused.

Robin: I'm sorry AJ.

AJ: He doesn't know me anymore, Robin.

Robin: You'll always be his father. Carly and Sonny can't keep Michael away from you forever.

AJ: What do I do in the meantime?

Robin: I don't have the answers.

AJ: Robin, were you serious when you offered your help?

Robin: Of course I was. I don't know what I can do though. I don't have any ties with Sonny anymore.

AJ: Alexis thinks she found a hole in the custody contract.

Robin: That's great, AJ. How can I help?

AJ: I need some character witnesses. Carly and Sonny will try to make me out as a bad father because of the drinking history. I need someone to be honest about my relationship with Michael.

Robin: Well, I can do that. I saw how gentle you were with Michael.

AJ: You really will help me?

Robin: You don't have to even ask. Just tell me where and when.

AJ: (hugs Robin) Thank you Robin.

Setting: Kelly's

Liz: Hi Courtney (Liz puts on her apron)

Courtney: Hi.

Liz: You're working late tonight.

Courtney: I'm waiting for AJ. He wants to have dinner at the Grille.

Liz: How are things with AJ?

Courtney: (smiles) You know, it's actually good.

Liz: You sound surprise.

Courtney: I am. When I first marry AJ, he was such a different person. He was so sophisticated and nice. It wasn't hard for me to fall in love with him. But after all that's happened, I still find myself falling in love with him.

Liz: I think love is supposed to surprise you like that.

Courtney: Lucky surprises you.

Liz: Everyday. He would do something totally unexpected.

Courtney: (looks at her watch) AJ must be running late.

Liz: Do you want to call him?

Courtney: No, he's with Robin.

Liz: Robin? Why?

Courtney: AJ wanted to ask for Robin's help with Michael's custody.

Carly: What did you say? (caught both Liz and Courtney off-guard, both not answering her) What did you say?

Courtney: None of your business, Carly.

Carly: It is my business. Michael is my son.

Courtney: Michael is also AJ's son.

Carly: No he's not. He's a drunk and a liar.

Courtney: No, you're the liar.

Carly: (gets in Courtney's face) How dare you call me a liar? I'm your brother's wife.

Courtney: Sonny is also a liar.

Liz: (steps in between Courtney and Carly) Stop. This is not helping.

Carly: Stay out of this (glares at Liz)

Liz: I will not. Courtney is my friend. You barged in on a private conversation. Why don't you leave, Carly?

Carly: I knew Jason wouldn't be able to swallow your goody-too-shoes self.

Liz: And I'm sure you know Jason best.

Carly: Yes I do. Saint Robin couldn't handle the fight and left. You didn't even get a chance to fight. You guys are pathetic.

Liz: If that's the case, why are you still here?

Carly: You tell that drunken husband and his saint to stay away from my son! (Carly walks off)

Liz: (shakes her body a little) She makes me so mad.

Courtney: Thank you for trying to help.

Liz: It didn't get us anywhere.

Courtney: I hope she doesn't cause trouble for Robin.

Liz: I know Robin can handle herself around Carly.

Courtney: I hope so.

Setting: Mac's house.

Robin went back to watching her movie after AJ left. She popped a bag of popcorn because her stomach was growling. Robin was just too lazy to make something else to eat. The doorbell rings.

Robin: (gets up from the couch) Now, who can that be? (She was about to open the doors when AJ's words popped in her head. She looked through the peephole. She was stunned to see who was there) What does he want? (Slowly opens the door)

Jason: (with a small smile) Hi.

Robin: Hi (not knowing what else to say)

Jason: (holds out a bag) I thought you might be getting hungry.

Robin: (taken back that Jason knew she was hungry) How did you know?

Jason: I remembered you used to like to snack before bed.

Robin: (takes the bag) Thank you. Do you want to come in?

Jason: Ok (they make their way into the living room)

Robin: How did you know I was home?

Jason: I have my ways.

Robin: (smiles a little) I shouldn't have asked (opens the bad) this is a lot of food for one person.

Jason: Yes, it is.

Robin: (understanding) Would you like to share with me?

Jason: You're willing to share your food. This is a first.

Robin: Hey, I resent that. I'm not that bad.

Jason: If you say so.

Robin: Let me get us some plates. Have a seat (Jason takes a seat on the couch. Robin comes back with plates.) You must have read my mind. I was getting hungry but I was too lazy to go make something (she scoops some food on a plate and hands it to Jason)

Jason: What are you watching?

Robin: Roman Holiday.

Jason: It's in black and white.

Robin: (laughs a little) It's an old movie. You wouldn't like the story but you'll like the scenery. It was filmed in Rome.

Jason: I visited Rome when I was in Italy.

Robin: When were you in Italy?

Jason: A little after you left.

Robin: Oh. Did you like it?

Jason: It's different. Those travel books I used to read doesn't do it justice.

Robin: I know what you mean. What did you like most of Italy?

Jason: Florence.

Robin: I do too (she smiles to herself) I loved the cobblestone streets.

Jason: And the food.

Robin: The food was great. I know I gained weight when I was there.

Jason: (looks Robin over) It doesn't show.

Robin: (embarrassed under Jason's scrutiny) It was a while ago.

Jason: There's something else in that bag that you might like.

Robin: What? (she looks inside the bag and takes out a small container) Chocolate cake.

Jason: Is it still your favorite?

Robin: (licks her lips) Oh yes. I can never have too much chocolate cake.

Jason: (smiles at Robin's enthusiasm) I'm glad that hasn't changed. You're going to share?

Robin: Maybe if you're nice.

Jason: I'm always nice.

Robin: (she takes her eyes off the cake to look at Jason) Not (Jason looks hurt by Robin's joking comment) I'll share.

Jason: (feeling a little down after Robin's comment) You don't have to.

Robin: (Robin felt bad that she hurt Jason's feelings) I can't possibly eat this whole thing. (Robin scoops a bite into her mouth. She smiles as the chocolate melts in her mouth) Oh Jason, this is so good (She scoops another piece on the fork and feeds it to Jason) Here, tastes it. (Jason looks at Robin and then at the fork she was feeding him. His eyes travel back to Robin's face. He opens his mouth and Robin slowly feeds him the cake. There was a little bit smudged left on Jason's upper lip. On instinct, Robin reached out with her finger to clean it. But Jason caught her finger and licked the frosting off her finger. Robin watches as Jason slowly licked her finger. She was flushing watching Jason's mouth curl around her finger)

Jason: (holds on to Robin's finger) It is good. Can I have some more?

Robin: (still in her trance) More?

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Cake

Robin: (shakes her head a little bit) Oh, here (she hands Jason the cake)

Jason: I like it better when you were feeding me.

Robin: What?

Jason: I said I like it better...

Robin: (interrupting) I know what you said. You're a grown person. You can feed yourself.

Jason: You didn't mind earlier.

Robin: (gets up from the couch) I mind now.

Jason: (goes to stand in front of Robin) Robin, what's wrong?

Robin: I don't know what you mean.

Jason: Don't (Jason softly caresses Robin's cheeks) I felt it Robin (Jason slowly lowers his lips to Robin's. He softly kisses Robin.) You taste so good (Jason reaches out with both hands to capture Robin's face as he takes Robin's lips in a sweet kiss. When Robin didn't pull back, Jason deepened and intensified the kiss further. He caressed Robin's tongue with his own. Jason traced the outline of Robin's lips with his tongue. Robin shivered slightly. Jason tightened his arms around Robin not ever wanting to let go) Robin.

Robin: (as if Jason's words broke a spell, Robin came back to reality) Stop (she steps back from Jason) I can't do this.

Jason: Yes, you can. You want this Robin. I felt you shivered in my arms.

Robin: (feels herself blushing at Jason's words) That just means you have a physical effect on me.

Jason: It's more than that Robin (he slowly walks toward Robin. Jason reached for Robin's hand and placed it over his heart.) You are within me, where you've always remained.

Robin: (takes her hand away) No. That's not true.

Jason: Yes it is Robin. I may have been angry and disappointed but I have never stopped loving you. I don't know how.

Robin: No, you can't love me.

Jason: (not knowing how else to get through Robin, he grabbed Robin and fiercely crushed her in a kiss) How can you not feel my love for you on my lips? (Jason traces light kisses on Robin's face) Please Robin.

Robin: (with tears running down her face) Please let me go Jason.

Jason: I can't Robin (Jason kisses Robin again) I can't let you go again.

Robin: (pushes herself out of Jason's arms, wiping away her tears) But you did.

Jason: Robin (he tries to approach Robin)

Robin: (she steps further away from Jason) I think you should leave.

Jason: Robin

Robin: (turn away from Jason) Please leave. (Jason looks longingly at Robin and leaves)

Jason shuts door lightly. He places a hand over the door. I won't give up Robin. He walks away. Behind a tree, Carly sees Jason leaving. Damn you, Robin! Why did you have to come back?

Setting: The Grille

Courtney: We didn't have to come here.

AJ: I'm making money now. My beautiful wife deserves a good dinner.

Courtney: Thank you but you didn't have to. How did it go with Robin?

AJ: Good. She wants to help any way she can.

Courtney: AJ, Carly was at Kelly's. She overhead my conversation wit Liz about Michael's custody.

AJ: It's not a secret. Alexis will probably have the papers serve soon.

Courtney: Carly knows of Robin's involvement.

AJ: Carly can't hurt Robin. Robin doesn't love Jason anymore.

Courtney: You're right. I don't think Jason loves Robin either.

AJ: No, Jason still loves Robin.

Courtney: What makes you say that?

AJ: There are 2 things that Jason knows: the organization and loving Robin.

Courtney: It doesn't seem like Jason still loves Robin.

AJ: Oh but it's there. You didn't know him when he was with Robin. He may have feelings for other people but he'll always love Robin. Robin taught Jason how to love.

Courtney: (a little disappointed) I think I understand.

AJ: What is Carly doing here? (he spots Carly at the bar)

Courtney: I don't know. Is that a wine glass she's holding?

AJ: I think so. I thought she was pregnant.

Courtney: She is. I better call Sonny.

AJ: Why?

Courtney: Sonny is still my brother.

AJ: I'm sorry. Use my phone (hands Courtney the phone)

Courtney: Thank you (she dials Sonny's number)

Sonny: Hello?

Courtney: Sonny? It's Courtney.

Sonny: Hi Courtney. Is something wrong?

Courtney: AJ and I are at the Grille. Carly is here. I think she's drinking.

Sonny: Carly is there?

Courtney: Yes. I thought you might want to know.

Sonny: Thanks for calling. I'll take care of it.

AJ: What did he say?

Courtney: That he'll take care of it (she hands the phone back to AJ) Do you mind if we stay until Sonny arrives?

AJ: I don't mind.

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: Well, thank you for a lovely evening.

Anna: Thank you.

Mac: Did you enjoy yourself?

Anna: Yes, I did. I was a little nervous but we did ok.

Mac: (smiles) I was nervous waiting for you to come down the stairs.

Anna: Are you having second thoughts about us?

Mac: Not at all (he reaches for Anna's hands) I know what I want.

Anna: And that's me?

Mac: Yes. I'm actually looking forward to waking up in the morning so I can spend more time with you.

Anna: You're nice to say so.

Mac: I'm not being nice. It's the truth. For a while there, I didn't see much in waking up in the morning. I had lost Felicia and the girls and Robin wasn't around. Work became my life. Now I have you and Robin. I look forward to coming home again.

Anna: You deserve happiness, Mac.

Mac: So do you. I want to give you that Anna.

Anna: I do too. But you know, us Devane women are a lot to handle.

Mac: Don't I know it but I'll take you anyway.

Anna: Thank you, I think.

Mac: Come here, Devane (Anna walks slowly to Mac. Mac wraps his arms around Anna's waist) You are so beautifully stubborn (he leans in to kiss Anna. Anna wraps her hands around Mac's neck. She sinks her fingers in Mac's hair) You drive me to distraction.

Anna: Shut up and kiss me (Mac gathers Anna for a long kiss)

Mac: (after a few minutes of kissing Anna) You think Robin is home?

Anna: She should be. Tonight is her night off.

Mac: Why don't you check? I'll get us something to drink.

Anna: Ok, I'll be right back (Anna makes her way to Robin's room. She knocks lightly and opens the door) Robin?

Robin: (Robin sits up on the bed and wipes her tears) Mom, you're home.

Anna: (steps further into the room) Robin, have you been crying?

Robin: Just a little bit.

Anna: (sits down on the bed next to Robin) What's wrong?

Robin: I'm just feeling sorry for myself.

Anna: Oh, sweetheart (Anna wraps her arms around Robin) Talk to me.

Robin: Mom, I'm so confuse.

Anna: About what?

Robin: Jason, Luis, Jason, me.

Anna: You said Jason twice. Can I assume that's where most of the confusion lies?

Robin: (gets up from the bed and starts pacing) Luis said he loves me.

Anna: You don't love Luis?

Robin: I'm happy when I'm with him. There's no pain, no lies, no secrets between us. It's just him and me and yet I couldn't tell him that I love him.

Anna: Do you see yourself loving him?

Robin: I think so but something is holding me back.

Anna: Jason?

Robin: I don't know. I thought all my feelings for Jason died a long time ago.

Anna: Are you finding that you have feelings for Jason?

Robin: When he kissed me tonight, I didn't want him to stop. It was like when we first met each other. I couldn't get enough of him. What was I thinking?

Anna: You were feeling, darling.

Robin: But I don't want to feel. I don't want to have feelings for Jason.

Anna: Our hearts don't work that way.

Robin: I can't have these feelings for Jason.

Anna: Why not? Did you fall out of love with him? Or did you bury your feelings because you were hurt?

Robin: There's a difference?

Anna: Oh Robin. If you didn't fall out of love with Jason, no matter how deep you bury your feelings for him, it will one day resurface. Maybe kissing him brought it all back.

Robin: Mom, I don't want it back. I don't want to get hurt again.

Anna: You know we all try to guard our hearts but there's a reason why we're unsuccessful. Life is made of pain and love. You try to find some balance in between.

Robin: I'm scared.

Anna: I am too. When Duke passed away, I was very scared to get involve with your Dad. I didn't think I could survive losing him also. But look, I survived. I'm finding happiness with Mac.

Robin: I'm glad for you but I'm not as courageous as you.

Anna: You are if not more. You just need to sort your feelings for Jason. If you find that Luis can give you the happiness that you deserve, then you hold on to him. But if you want to try again with Jason because of the happiness you once had with him, then you go after Jason.

Robin: Is it that straightforward?

Anna: You make it so. You fight for your happiness. There will always be someone wanting to take it away from you.

Robin: I understand what you're saying (Robin hugs Anna) Thank you for being my mom.

Anna: It's my pleasure.

Setting: The Grille

Courtney: (see Sonny walks in) I'll be right back AJ (she walks toward Sonny) Sonny!

Sonny: Courtney, why are you still here?

Courtney: I didn't feel right leaving Carly here.

Sonny: Thanks again. I'll see you later (he walks toward Carly) Carly.

Carly: (looks at Sonny with her smeared makeup) Sonny. What are you doing here?

Sonny: I'm here to take you home (sees the wineglass) Have you been drinking?

Carly: No, of course not.

Sonny: Let's go then (he waits for Carly to get off the stool. Carly almost fall over getting off the stool. Sonny catches her.) You're drunk.

Carly: I am not!

Sonny: Let's go (Sonny holds on the Carly's waist)

Carly: (stops in front of AJ & Courtney's table) You and that Saint Robin stay away from my son. I'll make you pay.

Sonny: Carly! (Sonny drags Carly out)

Courtney: She really does look drunk.

AJ: I think she was.

Courtney: I hope the baby will be ok.

Setting: Kelly's couple of days later

Robin: Hi, sorry I'm late.

Brenda: It's okay. I actually needed to finish looking over these head shots.

Robin: How is that going?

Brenda: I don't know. Using Anna as one of our models is a great idea but I don't know about a younger model. I don't know if that's the direction I want Deception to take.

Robin: Then just use one model.

Brenda: That's what I'm trying to decide. Want to see Anna's test shots (hands Robin pictures of Anna)

Robin: (looking through the pictures) She looks good, kind of edgy.

Brenda: Mysterious.

Robin: Yes. It doesn't look like she's supposed to be a model.

Brenda: I know. She looks so natural. I think she's perfect for Deception.

Robin: How did Gia take the news?

Brenda: Ugh! I feel bad for Nicholas. He's too nice for her.

Robin: Well people say Jax is too nice for you.

Brenda: Hey!

Robin: (laughing) Just kidding. I think Gia keeps Nicholas rooted to the real world. Being Prince Cassidine isn't easy.

Brenda: Nicholas is protective of her. He talked to me on behalf of Gia regarding the contract. You know, Nicholas would make a sexy model. Too bad Deception doesn't have any male products.

Robin: Something for you to aim for.

Brenda: Umm cologne. No boxers and briefs! Nicholas posing in briefs (starts laughing) I like to see that.

Robin: (laughing along) Brenda, stop.

Brenda: But really, it would be great, a real prince in brief. His dark complexion, nice smile and sculpted bare body can make anyone melt.

Robin: Stop. If you keep saying those things I won't be able to look at him again without wondering.

Brenda: Admit it, Robin. A naked Nicholas in brief does turn you on.

Robin: (blushing a little) I don't want to discuss this anymore.

Brenda: You don't want to discuss it because you're already thinking about it (laughing at Robin)

Robin: Brenda! (The door opens and in come Jason. Both Brenda and Robin look at Jason. Jason makes his way to the counter) Behave.

Brenda: I always do (Brenda notices Robin getting a little nervous. Robin looks at Jason and then quickly looks away which didn't escape Brenda's notice. Brenda turns around toward Jason who is looking at Robin. Brenda smiles.) What's going on between you and my ex-husband?

Robin: Nothing (Robin quickly look at Jason again)

Brenda: Nothing, huh. You sneak looks and Jason there can't stop looking.

Robin: He's not looking.

Brenda: (turns around to look at Jason who is still looking at Robin) I would call that looking.

Robin: Brenda.

Brenda: Spill it!

Robin: We kissed (Robin started blushing as she remembers Jason kissing her and how she responded)

Brenda: Must have been mind blowing if you're blushing like that.

Jason: Brenda. Robin (he continues to look at Robin but she won't look at him)

Brenda: Jason. How are you doing these days? (smiling at Robin's discomfort)

Jason: Fine. How are you doing Robin?

Robin: Fine, thank you (still not looking at Jason)

Brenda: Want to join us Jason?

Jason: I can't. I have to get back to the warehouse.

Brenda: How's that going?

Jason: A couple more weeks and we should be done (looking at Robin)

Brenda: Robin and I would love to see it when it's done. You can give us a tour.

Jason: That can be arranged.

Brenda: Robin, why don't you call Jason when you're off the next time? (Robin still not looking at Jason and not answering. Frustrated, Brenda kicked Robin's foot under the table)

Robin: (looks at Brenda and then Jason) I'll call next week sometime.

Jason: (he smiles at Robin) Ok. I have to go. Bye.

Robin: Why did you do that?

Brenda: What?

Robin: I don't want to see him.

Brenda: Afraid you'll end up kissing him again?

Robin: I didn't kiss him. Jason kissed me and I responded.

Brenda: Ah, that's the difference.

Robin: Brenda, I really don't want to see Jason again. I get all confuse when he's around.

Brenda: It's good to be confused once in a while.

Robin: You actually want me to be with Jason?

Brenda: I want you to be happy. It doesn't matter to me if it's with Jason or Luis.

Robin: I am happy. I have my family, friends, and I'm a doctor.

Brenda: Don't give me that. I've seen you in love Robin.

Robin: Look where it got me. I can't put myself through that again.

Brenda: So you're going to close yourself off?

Robin: It that's what I have to do to protect myself. Then yes.

Brenda: You can't protect yourself from love.

Robin: I don't want to discuss this anymore.

Brenda: Ok but Robin? Carly wins.

Robin: It wasn't a contest.

Brenda: Carly was jealous of your ability to love completely and honestly. If you're afraid to love again than she achieved her goal.

Setting: Brenda's cottage, a week later, later in the evening

Brenda: (looks at her watch) I wonder where Robin is.

Jax: It's still a little early.

Brenda: It's starting to snow again. I'm going to call the GH to see if she left yet.

Jax: Brenda, it's barely 6:00pm. Robin is probably just leaving GH now.

Brenda: You're right. I guess I'm nervous.

Jax: Don't be. I think Robin would really love the idea.

Brenda: Do you think so? I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.

Jax: You're not disappointed about Anna?

Brenda: I am but I understand. It would be hard for her to do undercover work if she's in all the magazines. Anna is brilliant to suggest Robin.

Jax: Robin would be able to reach a bigger customer base.

Brenda: I hope she goes for the idea.

Jax: Her schedule would be tight.

Brenda: Yeah, it would (thinking) Jax, did you hear about Luis visiting Alexis and Ned?

Jax: Alexis told me.

Brenda: What do you think of it?

Jax: I don't know if he was genuine.

Brenda: I think he did it to win Robin's affection.

Jax: He cares that much for Robin?

Brenda: I'm betting that Luis would die for her.

Jax: Robin is the sweetest, kindest and warmest that I know. Yet, she seems to draw dangerous men into her life.

Brenda: Robin grew up with danger. It doesn't put her off.

Jax: I don't want to see her hurt again. She lost too much the last time.

Brenda: I don't think Luis can hurt her like Jason. Luis may be dangerous but he doesn't have any emotional baggage.

Jax: I hope you're right.

Brenda: I hope I am too.

Setting: Along the road

Robin is in her car driving to Brenda. She notices the time. I'm late. But she didn't want to speed up because of the heavy snow. Robin notices the bright headlights behind her. Robin saw that she was already driving 55. Pass me, I'm not going any faster, Robin thought. All of the sudden, Robin felt a big impact from behind and her car being pushed forward. Robin frantically applied the brakes but it didn't do anything. Her car kept being pushed forward even faster. Robin screamed when she saw a tree in front of her.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Johnny: Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: Is Sonny home?

Johnny: No (he notices some blood on Carly's forehead) Mrs. Corinthos, you're bleeding.

Carly: I'm fine. I wasn't watching where I was going (Carly goes inside. She hastily goes to the bedroom to change and clean herself up.)

Setting: Brenda's cottage.

Brenda: It's been 3 hours. Where's Robin?

Jax: Snow is coming down heavier. I'm going to call the hospital to see if she got stuck there.

Brenda: (looks out the windows) Where are you Robin?

Jax: Robin left at 6:30pm.

Brenda: Jax, I don't like this. Robin would have called.

Jax: Let me call Anna (he dials Anna) Anna?

Anna: Jax. Hi.

Jax: Anna, have you heard from Robin?

Anna: No, I thought she was heading out to Brenda.

Jax: She was supposed to be here at 6:30.

Anna: She's not there?

Jax: No and she's not at the hospital either.

Anna: Let me check it out. I'll call you back.

Jax: Anna hasn't heard anything.

Brenda: I don't like this Jax.

Setting: PCPD

Anna: (walks into Mac's office) Mac, Robin is missing.

Mac: Missing?

Anna: She was supposed to be at Brenda at 6:30pm. She's not at the hospital or at home.

Mac: It's only been a couple of hours. She probably went to grab some food. But I'll ask a night guys to keep an eye out for her car.

Anna: Thanks Mac.

Mac: I'll be right back.

Setting: Kelly's

Jason walks in brushing snow off himself. He heads toward the counter where Liz was.

Jason: Snow coming down pretty hard.

Liz: The news said that some of the roads are pretty bad.

Jason: I guess I should hang out here for a little bit.

Liz: Want something to eat?

Jason: Just coffee.

Liz: (pours Jason some coffee) So, how are you?

Jason: I'm hanging in there. You?

Liz: I started painting again. I enrolled in some art classes at PCU.

Jason: That's exciting.

Liz: I like it. I'm learning so much about the technical aspects of painting.

Jason: I'm sure you'll do fine (the phone rings)

Liz: Kelly's, can I help you?

Jax: Liz, it's Jax.

Liz: Hi Jax.

Jax: Liz, is Robin there?

Liz: No.

Jax: Have you seen her all night?

Liz: I've been here all night and I haven't seen Robin

Jason: (hearing Robin's name) What about Robin?

Liz: Jax, what's wrong.

Jax: Robin is missing. We can't find her. If you see her, will you tell her to call me before she goes anywhere?

Liz: Of course. Bye.

Jason: What's wrong with Robin?

Liz: Jax said she's missing.

Jason: For how long?

Liz: He didn't say.

Jason: (pulls out his phone and dials some number) Johnny, it's Jason. I need you to get some guys and track down Robin Scorpio. Thank you.

Liz: You think something happened to her?

Jason: Jax wouldn't be calling if it weren't serious. I'm going to look for her.

Liz: You can't go out there. It's snowing too hard for your bike.

Jason: I have to find her (he walks out)

Jason has been riding around for a couple of hours looking for Robin. He went to the bridge, the boxcar, Quatermaine's mansion. No Robin. Snow was coming down heavier. Jason worries grows as he hears no status of Robin from Johnny. Jason takes out the phone and dials a number.

Voice: Port Charles Police.

Jason: Detective Scorpio, please.

Voice: Hold, please.

Anna: This is detective Scorpio.

Jason: Anna, it's Jason.

Anna: What can I do for you Jason?

Jason: Have you found Robin?

Anna: How did you know?

Jason: I was at Kelly's when Jax called looking for Robin.

Anna: We haven't found her.

Jason: I checked all the places I could think of that she could be but nothing.

Anna: Robin was supposed to head out to Brenda. I don't know if she made any stop before that.

Jason: Have you checked the road to Brenda?

Anna: That area got a lot of snow, we're waiting for snowplows to show up. Mac and I are heading out there to comb the road.

Jason: I'll see you there.

Anna: Jason... (but the line was dead)

Mac: Was that Morgan?

Anna: He wanted to know if we had a status on Robin.

Mac: The snowplows are about to leave. We'll follow in the jeep.

Anna: Something doesn't feel right Mac.

Mac: I know but let's find Robin first.

Setting: Along the road to Brenda's cottage

Jason made his way to Brenda's cottage. He's having problem controlling the bike because of the heavy snow. He stops the bike and yelled out Robin's name. Nothing. Jason starts the bike again and rides a little further. Again he stopped the bike and called out Robin's name. Jason did this a few more times but nothing. He looked around the area for sign of anything. Robin, where are you? Jason continued on this bike until he saw a blinking red light in the distance. He made haste to the light and stopped his bike. Jason made his way down the grade through the snow to the light. As he got closer, he can see it's a car. Robin. Jason races to the car and start pushing the snow away. But the car was heavily buried in snow. Jason got out his phone.

Mac: Scorpio

Jason: (out of breath) Mac, I found Robin's car.

Mac: Jason, where?

Jason: I'm about 6 miles off the main intersection. Robin's car is slightly beyond the ditch. I can't get through the snow.

Mac: Jason, stay warm. We're on our way.

Anna: Robin?

Mac: Jason found her car but it's buried in snow pass the ditch (Mac dials a number) It's Commissioner Scorpio. There's a car buried pass the ditch 6 miles off the main intersection. Hurry!

Anna: I hope Robin's alright.

Back at Robin's car...

Jason continues to push the snow away from the car door. He's not making much progress with the heavy snow coming down.

Jason: (yells) Robin? Can you hear me? It's Jason. You're going to be all right. Robin? (No response. Jason continues to dig through the now) Robin! Robin, wake up!

Mac: Jason, is Robin in there?

Jason: I don't know. I can't get all this snow off the car door.

Mac: (gesturing to the men) Guys could you give us a hand? (All the men start digging through the snow. In no time, they got the snow cleared away from the car door) I think I see Robin (Mac tries to open the door but it's wouldn't open) Damned, it's jammed!

Anna: Mac, try this (hands Mac a crowbar. Mac tries to pry the door open with the crowbar. After several tries, the door finally opened. Robin was lying halfway across the front seat with the seat belt holding her up. She's covered in blood and glass) Robin! (Anna tries to rush to Robin)

Jason: (holds Anna back) Wait! You can't go near her. There's blood. Mac, do you have any gloves?

Mac: (reaching inside his pocket, took out a pair of gloves) Here (Mac reached for the phone and dials a number) Taggert, get the paramedics here. We're 6 miles off the main intersection going east. Thank you (sees Jason touching Robin) Jason...

Jason: Let me just see if there's anything broken. If not, we can try to move her. Robin, can you hear me? (Jason can hear Robin breathing but her lips were blue) Mac, get some blanket. Robin? (Jason moves his hands slowly down Robin's body looking for any injury) Robin, can you feel my hand?

Mac: Jason, here's the blankets. Anything?

Jason: It doesn't feel like she has anything broken. I only see cuts on her face and neck. I think we should move her out...her body is probably suffering from hypothermia.

Mac: (hears the sirens in the distance) The paramedics are almost here. Can you hold on to Robin while I release the seatbelt and move the chair back?

Jason: (carefully places his arms under Robin's body) I have her (Mac slowly release the seatbelt and moved the chair back so Jason can lift Robin out)

Anna: (runs to Jason and Robin) Let me wrap her in some more blankets. Robin, darling you're going to be fine.

The paramedics finally arrive. Jason places Robin lightly on the bed and watches as the MT work on Robin.

MT: We need to take her to GH now. She's suffering from hypothermia and has a concussion.

Jason: I'm not leaving her.

Setting: GH Emergency room

Jason watches as they push Robin away. He looks down at the blood on his glove. Mac and Anna rushes in.

Anna: Where's Robin?

Jason: Alan is with her.

Mac: Jason, are you alright?

Jason: Yes, I'm fine.

Mac: How did you find Robin?

Jason: I was making my way toward Brenda's house when I saw a blinking red light beyond the ditch.

Mac: Robin must have lost control of the car (his phone rings) Scorpio

Taggert: Commissioner.

Mac: Taggert, what did you find?

Taggert: We pulled Robin's car out of the ditch. The car was totaled in the back and front.

Mac: The back? Why?

Taggert: From the skid marks on the road, it looks like Robin's car was pushed off the road.

Mac: What? Are you sure?

Taggert: The marks on the road indicated the tires were pushed forward.

Mac: Thank you Taggert.

Anna: Mac?

Mac: Taggert believes that Robin's car was pushed off the road.

Jason: What? Why?

Mac: Robin's car was also totaled from the back and the skid marks on the road indicated that the tires were moving forward.

Anna: Somebody wanted Robin dead?

Jason: Less than a month ago, Robin was mugged.

Mac: I was thinking about that also. It's too much of a coincidence.

Alan: Anna, Mac.

Anna: How's Robin?

Alan: We're giving her fluids to bring her body temperature back to normal. She has cuts on her face and neck. She has a major concussion.

Jason: Alan?

Alan: I'm worried that she hasn't regain consciousness. We're going to do a CAT scan. We'll know more after that.

Mac: When do you think she'll regain consciousness?

Alan: I don't know. It could be hours, days.

Jason: Can we see her?

Alan: After the CAT scan. You should clean yourself up. Robin wouldn't want to see blood on you.

Anna: Thank you Alan.

Alan: I'll have Amy get you when we're done with the CAT scan (he leaves)

Jason: I'm going to clean up.

Anna: Mac, why Robin?

Mac: (reaches for Anna and embraces her) I don't know but I'm going to find out.

Anna: Who would want to hurt Robin?

Mac: I think it's more than that.

Anna: (looks at Mac, worried) Mac?

Brenda and Jax rush into the waiting room.

Brenda: How's Robin?

Anna: She hasn't regain consciousness. We'll know more after the CAT scan.

Jax: Do you have any idea what happened?

Mac: (Mac seriously looks at Jax before speaking) This needs to stay in this room.

Jax: Of course.

Mac: I think someone tried to kill Robin tonight.

Brenda: What? Are you sure?

Mac: Robin was mugged less than a month ago and now someone ran her off the road. If that tree wasn't there, her car would have went down the river.

Anna: Mac, are you sure?

Mac: Think of it. Robin's schedule is crazy enough that it would make the mugging and this accident seem random. But anyone who knows Robin knows Robin always run along that road and the road to Brenda's cottage.

Jax: What do you want us to do?

Mac: I want us to play this as an accident and that Robin lost control of the car. I'll handle things at the station. If we are to find out who wants Robin dead, they have to believe that we don't suspect anything.

Jason: Who would want Robin dead?

Mac: How long have you been standing there?

Jason: Long enough. What's going on Mac?

Mac: I need you to keep this quiet. I believe that someone wanted Robin dead tonight.

Jason: Everyone knows that Robin is no longer connected to Sonny and me.

Anna: Jason, we don't believe this has anything to do with the organization. This is not the way they do things.

Mac: I agree with Anna. I'll investigate this but I don't want to arise any suspicions.

Brenda: We'll do whatever you want Mac.

Amy: Mac, Anna Robin is back in her room. You can see her now.

Anna: Thank you Amy. Mac?

Mac: Let's go (Anna and Mac head out)

Jax: (looks at Jason) I can't believe this. Robin is back less than 6 months and her life is in danger.

Brenda: We need to do what Mac said and remain calm. Jason?

Jason: What?

Brenda: What are you thinking?

Jason: Nothing.

Brenda: Let Mac handle it Jason.

Jason: Whatever.

Brenda: (grabs Jason by the jacket) Let Mac handle it. It's safer for Robin.

Jason: (he looks at Brenda) Fine.

Alcazar: (walks in the door) How's Robin? (All 3 of them stare at Alcazar)

Jason: What are you doing here?

Alcazar: I'm here for Robin.

Jason: Robin doesn't need you.

Brenda: (steps between them) Cool it. Robin doesn't this. (She looks at Jason and then Alcazar) Luis, Robin hasn't regain consciousness.

Alcazar: Do we know what happened?

Jason: You don't know?

Brenda: Jason! (She gives Jason another stern look) Robin lost control of her car and went off the road (Mac & Anna came back into the room. Mac sees Alcazar and is about to react when Brenda stops him) How's Robin?

Anna: There's no change.

Mac: (talking through his teeth trying to control his anger) What are you doing here Alcazar?

Alcazar: I wanted to see how Robin is doing.

Anna: Thank you for your concern (out in the corner of her eyes, she sees Jason leaving the room)

Alcazar: Is there anything that can be done?

Anna: There's not much we can do until she regain consciousness.

Alcazar: (looking around the room at everyone) You all are the most important people in Robin's life. Robin used to tell me all these stories about you during my recovery in Paris.

Mac: What are you getting at Alcazar?

Alcazar: Robin is very important to me. I want her happiness.

Jax: Are you implying that you bring Robin happiness?

Alcazar: I did once and I still do.

Mac: I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Alcazar: Robin is happy when she's with me and I intend to continue to see her.

Anna: This is not the time to discuss this. But if you're intentions toward my daughter is honest then we will not interfere.

Setting: Robin's room

Jason quietly walks into Robin's room. He's anger boils seeing the scratches on Robin's face and throat. Jason stand by Robin's bed and look at her. He raises his hand and tenderly touch Robin's forehead. Jason places Robin's hand on his. With his other hand he traces circles on Robin's palm. He looks at Robin's face and a few tears rolls down his cheeks.

Jason: (in a desperate quiet voice) Robin, please wake up (Jason squeezed Robin's hand) Please Robin. Show me your beautiful brown eyes. (Jason places Robin's hand against his cheeks.) Robin, do you feel me? (Jason places a kiss inside Robin's palm) I love you Robin. My heart is aching for you. I told you once that within you remain. (He holds Robin's hand over his heart.) My heart was made to love you. I don't know how to love anyone else (Jason bends down and place a light kiss on Robin's lips) I won't love anyone but you, Robin.

In the waiting room, everyone was sitting and waiting quietly. Alcazar is sitting in a chair by himself. Felicia rushes in. She sees Mac with Anna and rush to him.

Felicia: Mac, I came as soon as the road cleared. How's Robin?

Mac: She's unconscious.

Felicia: What happened?

Mac: Robin lost control of the car and went off the road.

Felicia: Is there anything we can do?

Mac: No, we wait. (Felicia sits down on the other side of Mac. Luke and Lucky comes through the door.)

Luke: Anna, Mac how's Robin?

Anna: She hasn't regain consciousness. We're waiting for Alan with the CAT scan result.

Lucky: How badly was Robin injured?

Anna: She has cuts on her face and neck and she had a concussion.

Luke: Is there anything I can get you?

Anna: Thank you but I'm fine.

Luke: (takes Anna's hand in his) She's a Scorpio, Anna. She'll fight this like everything else.

Anna: Yes, she will.

Lucky: I had asked Liz to pick up some food from Kelly's for you and Mac.

Anna: Thank you Lucky. You didn't have to go through all the trouble.

Lucky: It's no trouble.

After a little while, Ned, Alexis, AJ & Courtney showed up.

Ned: Mac, Anna, any news?

Mac: No.

Anna: Alexis, you should be resting at home.

Alexis: I can rest here.

Mac: Anna's right Alexis. Robin wouldn't want anything to happen to you and the baby.

Alexis: (holds her stomach) We're both fine. How about I stay for a couple of hours and then I'll go home and rest?

Anna: Thank you for coming.

Liz, Emily and Nicholas show up a while later bearing food and drinks.

Emily: We brought muffins and coffee. Sorry we're late.

Anna: Thank you. You're not late. We're still waiting for Alan to come back with the CAT scan result.

Everyone is sitting around the room talking quietly. No one noticed when Jason opened the door. Jason stopped when he saw all the people in the room. He silently withdrew. Liz happened to look at the door and sees Jason leaving.

Liz: Lucky, I'm going to talk to Jason. I'll be right back.

Lucky: I'll be here.

Liz: (trying to catch up to Jason) Jason?

Jason: Hi Elizabeth.

Liz: Why didn't you come in?

Jason: I couldn't.

Liz: Why? (She takes Jason's hand and they seat down at the bench. Courtney was walking to the restroom when she heard Liz's voice. Courtney stayed and listened) Talk to me.

Jason: Everyone in that room is there for Robin.

Liz: Yes and so are you.

Jason: None of them would hurt Robin.

Liz: Jason, you wouldn't either.

Jason: Yes, I did. Robin left for Paris because she was in pain. Pain that I caused.

Liz: You were also in pain. You lost Michael and Robin.

Jason: But I was the cause. If I hadn't gotten involve with Carly, none of it would have happened. I hurt Robin more than anyone ever could. She loved me and trusted me.

Liz: But it wasn't your intentions to hurt Robin.

Jason: That's the excuse I've been giving myself. Robin is in there because of me.

Liz: Jason, do not blame yourself for Robin's accident. It didn't have anything to do with you.

Jason: I promised to love her and protect her. I have done neither. I don't deserve to love her.

Liz: Don't say that.

Jason: Look at me, Elizabeth. What do I have to offer Robin? My protection? Look where she is. My money? She's a doctor. What?

Liz: Your heart, Jason.

Jason: And look where it got her.

Liz: Listen to me. I was there when you and Robin were together. I witnessed firsthand how you felt for Robin. That's the kind of love we all hope and dream for. Robin cherished your love.

Jason: I hurt her, Elizabeth. Yes, I love Robin. I've never stopped loving Robin. I don't know how. There's no one in my heart but Robin.

Liz: That's all that matters. You keep telling Robin that you love her. Prove to her that you're worthy of her love because you are Jason. For the brief time that we were together, I was very happy to have you care for me.

Jason: Thank you.

Liz: No need to thank me. We're friends. I'm going to head back to the waiting room. Are you going to be ok?

Jason: Yes. (He watches Liz walk off. Jason thinks about what Liz said. Courtney, after hearing the entire conversation makes her way to Jason.)

Courtney: Jason?

Jason: Courtney. What are you doing here?

Courtney: I came with AJ. How's Robin?

Jason: No change.

Courtney: Jason (she reached for Jason's hand) I wanted...

Jason: (moves his hand away from Courtney) You shouldn't be here.

Courtney: (hurt that Jason withdrew from her) I wanted to see if you were alright.

Jason: I'm fine.

Courtney: I care for you. I don't want to see you hurt.

Jason: I said I'm fine.

Courtney: Why are you here?

Jason: (looks at Courtney, not understanding her question) What?

Courtney: You don't really know Robin anymore.

Jason: (gets angry hearing Courtney's words) Robin is the only thing I know.

Courtney: Jason, you haven't seen Robin in 4 years. I don't understand why you have to be here.

Jason: I may have not seen Robin for 4 years but she's always been with me. There's no one else.

Courtney: What about us?

Jason: You're AJ's wife, Sonny's sister. I was wrong to think otherwise.

Courtney: You don't believe that.

Jason: There was never anything between us. I'm sorry you misunderstood.

Courtney: (looks hurt at Jason's words) Jason...

Sonny: Jason. Hi Courtney.

Courtney: I need to get back to AJ (she walks off)

Sonny: What's going on with Robin?

Jason: She hasn't regain consciousness.

Sonny: What happened?

Jason: She lost control of the car and went off the road.

Sonny: Where?

Jason: She was on her way to Brenda.

Sonny: Have you seen her?

Jason: Yes. Do you want to see her?

Sonny: Yes (they both head to Robin's room)

Back at the waiting room, Alan opens the door and sees everyone here. He smiles seeing all the people.

Alan: Hello everyone (Mac & Anna make their way to Alan)

Anna: Alan.

Mac: Do you have the result?

Alan: The CAT scan was normal. Robin suffered no brain trauma.

Mac: Why is she still unconscious?

Alan: Her body suffered a shock. This is the brain's way of resting the body.

Mac: Is there anything we can do?

Alan: I'm sorry but no. It's best that Robin regain consciousness on her own.

Mac: What good is all of this doctors and science! (Mac walks out frustrated and upset)

Anna: Mac! (Mac continued walking out) I'm sorry Alan.

Alan: Don't be. I know how Mac feels. It tears at my heart to not be able to do anything else for Robin.

Anna: Thank you Alan.

Alan: I'll be in my office if you need me.

Setting: Robin's room.

Jason and Sonny quietly step into Robin's room. Sonny's eyes fill with tears when he sees Robin lying on the bed. They go to stand by Robin's bed.

Sonny: This shouldn't have happened. I was supposed to protect her (he wipes away his tears) What's her status?

Jason: We're waiting for Alan for the CAT scan result.

Mac: (angry) What the hell are you doing here?

Sonny: Mac, we're...

Mac: Haven't you done enough? You have no rights to be here.

Sonny: I care for Robin.

Mac: You care for Robin? You abandoned her when she needed you most. And you (looking at Jason) you betrayed her and then you condemned her for telling the truth. You both disgust me. Get out!

Sonny: Mac.

Mac: I said get out. Stay away from Robin.

Anna: (witnessed the scene from the door) I think you both should leave. Robin doesn't need this. (Jason looks at Anna. Anna nods to him. He and Sonny leaves quietly)

Mac: I can't stand the sight of either of them.

Anna: I understand.

Mac: I don't know what I would do without her (he looks down at Robin with tears running down his face)

Anna: (she embraces Mac) Robin is going to be fine. She has to (also tries to control her emotions)

Outside of Robin's room...

Sonny: I'm going to head back to the penthouse.

Jason: I'll call you if there's any changes.

Sonny: You're staying? (He looks at Jason) Are you sure that's a good idea?

Jason: I can't leave Robin.

Sonny: Ok. Call me if you need anything (he walks off)

Brenda: Jason, you're still here?

Jason: Yes

Brenda: Alan said that the CAT scan looks normal.

Jason: Why hasn't Robin awake?

Brenda: Alan doesn't know.

Jason: Do you think I have a right to be here?

Brenda: What are you talking about?

Jason: Robin left Port Charles because of me.

Brenda: Yes but Jason, she came back knowing you are here. Robin doesn't hate you.

Jason: Why doesn't she?

Brenda: You of all people know Robin doesn't know how to hate. I don't even think she hates Carly. She feels sorry for Carly but not hate.

Jason: I hate me.

Brenda: Jason?

Jason: The only thing I've ever really wanted was for Robin to be happy. But I was the one to cause her the most pain. She doesn't need me in her life.

Brenda: No matter what happened, Robin loves you. She needs you but she doesn't want to. Robin gave up her life for you once, she doesn't know if she can do that again. If you love her, then you'll have to fight for her.

Jason: How?

Brenda: Jason, Robin fell in love with you when you had nothing.

Jason: What?

Brenda: She bought you a hardhat to protect your head, she didn't have any reservation going to your room at Jakes, and she liked riding on your bike. Do you understand what I'm getting at?

Jason: (thinks for a moment) I think so. I need to go out for a while. Will you call me if there are any changes?

Brenda: Sure

Alexis: (walking fast toward the elevator) Hold the elevator please! (Alexis walks in and sees who's there) Hello Sonny.

Sonny: Alexis.

Alexis: What are you doing here?

Sonny: I'm not allowed to be at a hospital?

Alexis: I didn't mean that. It was a casual question.

Sonny: I came to see Robin.

Alexis: No change.

Sonny: Isn't it a little too early for you to be out of bed? I though pregnant woman needed their rest.

Alexis: I'm on my way home.

Sonny: Were you here all night?

Alexis: (shifts in her stand. She rubs her stomach lightly) Just a couple of hours (Alexis starts breathing harder)

Sonny: Alexis, are you alright?

Alexis: The baby is moving more than normal (Alexis holds on to her stomach when another pain comes)

Sonny: It looks like you're in pain.

Alexis: I think I'm having contractions (she looks at her watch. She braced herself for another pain) It's definitely contractions. Can this elevator go another faster?

Sonny: (he reached for the elevator phone) Hello? Is there something wrong with this elevator?

Voice: Sir, we're experiencing some computer problems with the elevators.

Sonny: There's a woman in here going into labor.

Voice: We're working as fast as we can. We'll have a doctor standing by.

Sonny: They're having some problem with the elevator. How are you doing?

Alexis: The contractions aren't too close to each other. I think we might have some time.

Sonny: Can I get anything for you?

Alexis: Could you help me to the floor?

Sonny: Here lean on me a little (he slowly lowers Alexis down) Easy (Sonny had Alexis sitting with her legs out and her back against the elevator door) you ok?

Alexis: Yeah.

Sonny: Now what do we do?

Alexis: We wait. Since it's my first pregnancy, I don't think we'll have to deliver the baby in the elevator.

Sonny: Good, I wouldn't know what to do.

Alexis: (smiles at Sonny) You've been great so far.

Sonny: I haven't really done anything.

Alexis: You know in a few months, you'll have to go through this.

Sonny: I know. I'm kind of nervous.

Alexis: The great Sonny Corinthos nervous? Where's my tape recorder when I need it? (Alexis pats Sonny's hand) You'll do fine.

Sonny: Marriage agrees with you.

Alexis: It does. I can't remember being this happy.

Sonny: I'm glad. You deserve it.

Alexis: So do you.

Sonny: I'm sorry how things turned out between us.

Alexis: You're with Carly and I have Ned.

Sonny: But I don't have you as a friend.

Alexis: (winces as another contraction comes) Did I ever tell you I can't handle physical pain?

Sonny: (smiles) The great Alexis Davis, wizard of the law?

Alexis: Hey. You won't be laughing in a few months.

Sonny: Have you thought of a name?

Alexis: Kristina.

Sonny: That's a beautiful name. I think your sister would be proud.

Alexis: I hope so.

Sonny: Alexis, I know I never said anything but I am sorry for your loss. Your sister's life is just as important as anyone else.

Alexis: Thank you (the elevator stops and the door opens) Finally.

Ned: (rushes to Alexis) Alexis, are you alright?

Alexis: How did you know I was in here?

Ned: They said there was a pregnant lady and you weren't at home.

Bobbie: How apart are the contractions, Alexis?

Alexis: About 5 minutes.

Bobbie: Let's get you into a room (Bobbie and Ned helped Alexis into the wheelchair)

Alexis: (turns to Sonny) Thank you for your help.

Sonny: It was no problem.

Ned: (nods his head to Sonny) Sonny

Sonny: Ned (he watches them wheeled Alexis off)

Several hours later in Robin's room

Anna: Mac, why don't you go home and sleep?

Mac: I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Anna: Well, then you can rest.

Mac: I'm resting here.

Anna: Mac, you can't go to the station after being here all night.

Mac: I'm not going to the station either.

Anna: There's nothing you can do. I'll call you if there's any changes.

Mac: I really wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything. Why don't you go home and rest?

Anna: I'm not leaving.

Robin: (slowly opens her eyes) How am I supposed to sleep with you arguing? (Anna and Mac rushes to Robin's bed)

Anna: Hi darling. How are you feeling?

Robin: Tired.

Mac: You gave us a real scare.

Robin: I'm sorry.

Mac: Don't be (he leans down and kiss Robin on the forehead) I'm going to get Alan (he leaves)

Anna: Can I get you anything?

Robin: Water?

Anna: (Anna pours some water into a cup and help Robin with the straw) Are you in pain anywhere?

Robin: I feel sore all over. What happened?

Anna: Your car hit a tree.

Robin: (a little confuse) I hit a tree?

Anna: You don't remember?

Robin: I remember leaving the hospital to go to Brenda's.

Alan: (walking in with Mac) I see our patient is up.

Robin: Hi Alan.

Alan: How are you feeling?

Robin: Tired and sore.

Alan: That's normal. Anna, Mac can I have a few minutes alone to check Robin?

Anna: Of course, we'll be in the waiting room. We'll be back sweetheart (Mac and Anna head out.) Mac, Robin doesn't remember the accident.

Mac: What does she remember?

Anna: She remembers leaving the hospital for Brenda's.

Mac: I was hoping she might saw who was driving the car. Let's see what Alan has to say (they walk into the waiting room where everyone was still there) Robin is awake (everyone in the room let out a breath)

Brenda: Can we see her?

Anna: Alan is checking on her now but I don't see why not.

Brenda: How is she?

Anna: She's tired and sore.

Felicia: I have to get home to the girls. Mac, will you tell Robin I'll drop by later to see her?

Mac: Thank you for being here.

Felicia: Not thanks needed. Bye everyone.

Anna: Any news about Alexis?

Jax: Bobbie said she still has 2cm to go.

Anna: So everything is ok.

Jax: Looks like it.

Mac: (looking around the room at everyone) Why don't you all go home and rest? I'll tell Robin that you all were here.

Liz: I do have to go open Kelly's.

Lucky: I'll take you (to Mac and Anna) if you need anything, please call me.

Anna: Thank you Lucky. Thank you Liz for the food and coffee.

Liz: I'm glad I could help. Bye (Lucky and Liz leave)

AJ: Since Ned will be delivering his baby, I guess I better get to the office.

Mac: Thanks AJ for coming.

AJ: None needed. Robin has been a very good friend to me.

Anna: Bye AJ, Courtney.

Luke: Well, I'm going to give little Scorpio a kiss and then I'm going to head home.

Anna: Thank you Luke.

Luke: You're welcome. Take care of yourself. Mac.

Mac: Bye Luke.

Jax: Did Robin say anything?

Anna: She doesn't remember the accident.

Jax: Then she won't be able to help with the investigation.

Mac: I don't want Robin to know there's going to be an investigation.

Anna: Mac, are you sure?

Mac: I don't want Robin to have to look over her back.

Brenda: She's not going to like it.

Anna: Brenda's right.

Mac: For now, I think this is best. When she starts remembering, we'll talk to her.

Alan: Mac's right.

Mac: How's Robin?

Alan: Everything seems to be normal. She doesn't remember the accident now but she will. It'll be less stressful for her if she remembers it herself.

Anna: Then we'll wait to tell Robin.

Brenda: I'm going to see Robin.

Alan: She'll probably be in and out of sleep. She needs her rest.

Brenda: I'll keep it short (Brenda walks out and down the hall towards Robin's room. She sees Jason about to enter Robin's room) Jason.

Jason: Any news?

Brenda: Robin just woke up. She doesn't remember the accident.

Jason: How is she otherwise?

Brenda: Fine (notices the plant Jason was holding) nice plant.

Jason: Were you coming to see Robin?

Brenda: Yes but you go ahead. I'm going to head home and come back in a couple of hours.

Jason: Thanks. Bye

Jason slowly walks in the room. He sees Robin sleeping. Jason makes his way to the nightstand and places the little plant on it. He takes the seat next to Robin's bed.

Jason: (speaks softly) I hope you like the plant. It's not exactly the same one. You made a lot of people happy by waking up. There was a roomful of people waiting for you.

Robin: (opens her eyes) Hi.

Jason: (smiles tenderly at Robin) Hi (he lightly touches Robin's cheek with his finger.) How are you feeling?

Robin: Tired. What are you doing here?

Jason: I had to drop something off for you.

Robin: What? (Robin sits up a little. Jason hands Robin the plant.) This can't be.

Jason: It's the hat that you gave me.

Robin: You kept it all these years?

Jason: Do you like it?

Robin: Yes.

Jason: I don't know very much about flowers. I'm better a picking out plants and growing them.

Robin: I love it. Thank you. You can help me plant it when it gets too big for the hat.

Jason: Ok. I'll keep the hat after that.

Robin: (laughs a little) If you like.

Jason: Robin, you really had me worry. I don't know what I would do if I lost you.

Robin: Jason, I'm fine.

Jason: Promise me you'll be more careful.

Robin: I'll be more careful.

Jason: No more driving in the snow.

Robin: No driving in the snow. How am I going to get to and from work?

Jason: I'll take you.

Robin: I can't have you drive me around.

Jason: I don't have anything else to do.

Robin: No. I'll just have to be more careful driving.

Jason: I'll take you.

Robin: Jason.

Jason: You can't change my mind.

Robin: I will. I'm just too tired to do it right now.

Jason: Why don't you close your eyes and sleep?

Robin: What are you going to do?

Jason: Watch you.

Robin: You don't have to stay.

Jason: You won't know if I'm here or not because you'll be sleeping.

Robin: I don't think you're supposed to be harassing me.

Jason: Sleep (Jason sits and watches Robin sleep. After a while, he gets up and lightly kiss Robin on the lips) I love you Robin. (Jason walks out and sees Anna)

Anna: Jason. How's Robin?

Jason: Sleeping.

Anna: I never did thank you for finding Robin.

Jason: It's not needed.

Anna: Why?

Jason: Robin is important to me.

Anna: I don't want my daughter hurt again.

Jason: I won't hurt Robin.

Anna: I will protect Robin with my life. I took down one organization to protect someone I love. I'll have no problem taking down another one for Robin's sake.

Jason: I promise you.

Anna: I'll hold you to that. I'll let you go. Bye Jason.

Jason: Bye (he watches Anna leaves thinking about what Anna said)

Setting: Along the halls of GH

Emily: (walking toward the elevator) I'm glad Robin is alright.

Nicholas: Me too. Where are you heading of to?

Emily: Grab a quick bite to eat and then drive to school.

Nicholas: Would you like some company?

Emily: What about Gia?

Nicholas: I don't know exactly. She left a couple of days ago to meet with her new agent.

Emily: You haven't talked to her since?

Nicholas: I have. I just didn't ask her where she was.

Emily: What's going on Nicholas?

Nicholas: Things are not so good between us. We don't see much of each other.

Emily: Why?

Nicholas: I don't know exactly. It seems like we're growing apart.

Emily: You're not going to do anything about it?

Nicholas: I tried but all we end up doing is fight with each other.

Emily: I'm sorry.

Nicholas: Don't be. I think I saw it coming.

Emily: What do you mean?

Nicholas: (he looks at Emily) I'm not fighting for Gia because there's someone else I want to be with.

Emily: Nicholas, don't say that.

Nicholas: It's true. I've felt this for a long time now.

Emily: You shouldn't be telling me this.

Nicholas: Emily, you must know that I care about you.

Emily: Please don't.

Nicholas: Don't you feel anything for me?

Emily: It doesn't matter if I do.

Nicholas: Yes, it does.

Emily: I don't want to talk about this now.

Nicholas: When then Emily?

Emily: You're not free Nicholas. I have to go (Emily leaves Nicholas standing there)

Setting: Robin's room later that day

Ned pushes the wheelchair with Alexis who is holding the baby into Robin's room.

Ned: (smiles) Is it okay to have visitors?

Robin: (smiles at Alexis and Ned) Please, come in. Who's the new angel?

Alexis: Robin Scorpio meet Kristina Robin Ashton

Robin: (tears in her eyes) You gave Kristina my name?

Ned: It's a beautiful name.

Robin: Thank you.

Alexis: Would you like to hold her?

Robin: May I?

Alexis: Of course (Ned hands Kristina to Robin)

Robin: She's beautiful (Robin lightly touches the baby's cheek) How are you doing Alexis?

Alexis: I feel 10 pounds lighter. You?

Robin: Just tired. I just seem to be craving sleep.

Ned: Well, your body needs it.

Brenda: (pokes her head through the door) Is it safe to come it?

Ned: Come on in.

Jax: Is there a party and no one invited us?

Alexis: Since you're here, meet Kristina Robin Ashton.

Brenda: (walks to Robin who's holding the baby) She's beautiful Alexis.

Jax: She must take her looks after Alexis.

Ned: No arguments from me.

Robin: She really is beautiful.

Alexis: Does that mean I can call you to babysit?

Robin: Anytime.

Brenda: Me too.

Ned: Brenda, babysit? This is a first.

Brenda: Hey, I resent that. I'm good with babies.

Jax: I can help.

Ned: So Brenda will be babysitting 2 babies.

Jax: (laughs) Funny Ned. Robin, when are they releasing you?

Robin: I think in a few days.

Brenda: When do you have to go back to work?

Robin: I don't know. I'll have to check with Monica and Tony (the baby starts crying) I think little Kristina needs her Mommy (Ned takes the baby from Robin and gives to Alexis)

Alexis: I think she might be hungry. We're going to head back.

Robin: Thank you for bringing her by.

Ned: We'll see you later.

Robin: (with a light smile) She's so precious.

Brenda: (wraps her arms around Robin) Yes. All babies are.

Setting: Robin's room later same day

Anna: Hi (sees Robin holding the plant) That's a nice little plant.

Robin: It's from Jason.

Anna: I didn't know he was so creative.

Robin: You mean the hat?

Anna: Yes.

Robin: When I first met Jason, he was doing some construction work. I bought him this hardhat but he wouldn't wear. He didn't want to hurt my feelings so he turned it into a planting pot and put it in his room at Jakes.

Anna: Well, this is a nice gesture.

Robin: That's what I was thinking.

Anna: Luis has been here most of the night. Would you like to see him?

Robin: He's still here?

Anna: He wanted me to make sure you were up to seeing him.

Robin: Will you ask him to come in for me?

Anna: Sure, honey. I'll be in the waiting room if you need me.

Robin: Mom, I'm okay. Why don't you go home and rest?

Anna: I don't want you to be here by yourself.

Robin: I'm fine. Go.

Anna: Alright. I'll see you later though (Anna gives Robin a kiss) I'll send Luis in.

Robin: Bye. Thank you (Robin straighten herself up)

Luis: (bearing a huge bouquet of white casablanca) Hello (he hands Robin the flowers) you look good.

Robin: Thank you for saying that (Robin smells the flowers) These are beautiful. Thank you.

Luis: How are you feeling?

Robin: I'm a little sore.

Luis: Don't scare me like that again, my Robin.

Robin: I'll try not to.

Luis: Is there anything I can get you?

Robin: No, just your company.

Luis: That's easy.

Robin: Did you hear that Alexis gave her baby my name?

Luis: Yes. It's a beautiful name.

Robin: I feel so honored. I don't know if I have any rights to.

Luis: Oh my Robin. You have every right. I was in a room filled with people who love and care about you.

Robin: That mustn't have been easy for you.

Luis: As you see, I survived.

Robin: Thank you for being here.

Luis: There's nowhere else I rather be.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse next day

Carly is walking down the stairs and sees Sonny looking out the window. Sonny has been standing there for a while. He's been thinking about Robin and Alexis, 2 people who used to be important to him and now were almost strangers. The list of people he can trust completely consists mainly of Jason. But his mind drifts to Carly. She has proven herself to him but still he can't quite trust Carly completely. Something is off with her and he can't put his finger around it.

Carly: Sonny?

Sonny: (turns around to Carly) Hi

Carly: What are you doing?

Sonny: Thinking.

Carly: It looked serious. Anything wrong?

Sonny: Robin was in car accident yesterday.

Carly: Robin was in an accident?

Sonny: Yes.

Carly: (trying to be nonchalant) What happened?

Sonny: Her car hit a tree.

Carly: Oh. Is she alright?

Sonny: (he looks at Carly) Why are you asking?

Carly: You look worried.

Sonny: But this is Robin that we're talking about. You wouldn't care if she dropped in front of you.

Carly: You make me sound cruel.

Sonny: It's not the truth?

Carly: If you don't want to tell me then don't.

Sonny: I just wonder why you want to know.

Carly: Are you going to be like this every time her name comes up? God, I can't believe she's a part of our marriage.

Sonny: Relax Carly. Robin doesn't want anything to do with me.

Carly: And that is really killing you isn't?

Sonny: She's important to me. She was there for me when I had no one.

Carly: You have me now. I'll always be here for you (she walks closers to Sonny)

Sonny: Yes, I have you, Michael, and our new baby (Sonny pats Carly's stomach. Carly looks worried)

Setting: PCPD station

Mac: (looking at the reports Taggert gave him) Damm!

Anna: Mac, what is it?

Mac: All I have are dead ends.

Anna: The reports from Taggert weren't any help?

Mac: There's nothing here. I was hoping those tire marks would help us out.

Anna: I think we should reconsider asking Robin.

Mac: Is she ready to know that someone tried to kill her? How much does one person have to go through?

Anna: Mac, I know how you feel. But Robin is strong.

Mac: Robin is barely 25 years old. Look at all the things she has gone through. I want to spare her.

Anna: But we can't. The sooner Robin remembers the better our chances of finding out who is behind this before they strike again.

Mac: You're right. How about we stop by tomorrow morning?

Anna: That's fine. Mac, you don't think this is related to Sonny Corinthos, do you?

Mac: It doesn't feel like a mob hit. It's too messy for them. It almost seems like it's personal.

Anna: Because the nature of the attack?

Mac: Yes. If this person really wanted Robin dead, there's a lot easier ways. Robin gets mobbed while she's running is somehow still odd to me. It almost seems like this person knows Robin.

Anna: Both incidents occurred at night after her shift at the hospital.

Mac: Who would have her hospital schedule?

Anna: It's not that hard to get. But I'll check around GH if there's been any inquiry.

Mac: I'll check around to see if anybody has asking about Robin (looks at his watch) it's late. You want to get out of here?

Anna: Let me get my things (she starts to head out of the office)

Mac: Anna...

Anna: Yes?

Mac: I know I'm obsessed about Robin's accident. Thank you for putting up with me.

Anna: Don't apologize. I'm grateful that you care so much for Robin.

Mac: I care for you too.

Anna: I know that.

Mac: You're okay with my being overly possessive?

Anna: I know your heart is in the right place.

Mac: You mean in your hands?

Anna: It is not in my hands.

Mac: Yes.

Anna: What?

Mac: You hold my heart Anna.

Anna: Mac, I don't know what to say.

Mac: Say you'll keep it.

Anna: I'll keep it (Anna kisses Mac tenderly)

Setting: Robin's room next day

Emily: So how are you doing?

Robin: I'm getting restless being in this bed.

Emily: Just think of this as a vacation.

Robin: Nice vacation this is. Let's talk about something else.

Emily: What?

Robin: Nicholas.

Emily: No

Robin: Why not?

Emily: There's nothing to talk about

Robin: Are you sure?

Emily: Yes

Robin: Nicholas told you about his feelings, hasn't he?

Emily: (quietly) Yes

Robin: That's great Emily. What did you say?

Emily: Nothing.

Robin: What?

Emily: It seemed like I've waited forever for Nicholas to notice me. Now that he has, he's not available.

Robin: I thought he and Gia weren't working out.

Emily: But they're still together.

Robin: Oh, Emily I'm sorry. I didn't know that.

Emily: How long do I keep waiting for him?

Robin: If Nicholas is whom you want then he's worth waiting for.

Emily: He is.

Robin: Did you tell him?

Emily: No. I was hurt that he was still with Gia.

Robin: I think you should tell Nicholas your feelings. That way you both know where things stand.

Emily: You're right.

Robin: How's living at home?

Emily: It's not bad. Grandfather is actually not that bad. The house is quieter.

Robin: Probably because AJ is not there anymore.

Emily: I'm glad things worked out between him and Courtney. I think he really loves Courtney.

Robin: I hope she doesn't let him down.

Emily: Do you think she would?

Robin: I don't know really know Courtney. But I do know AJ. I think if he lost Courtney, he would fall again.

Emily: Courtney seems like she's dedicated to AJ. I know she want AJ to fight for Michael.

Robin: Yes. AJ asked for my help.

Emily: You? How?

Robin: I guess Carly and Sonny made AJ out to be an unfit parent. AJ wanted me to be his character witness.

Emily: Are you sure you want to get involve in this again?

Robin: I owe it to AJ. Besides, I think I will always be involved in this.

Emily: Robin, you removed yourself from this situation. Don't get involve again if you can avoid it.

Robin: How? Everywhere I turn the situation is in my face. I see Alan and Monica everyday. I know they're missing their grandchild. AJ is my friend and he's devastated that his own son doesn't know him. I do my best to avoid Carly but that doesn't help. Every chance she gets, she rubs it my face that it's my fault. Then there's Jason, every time I see him I feel all this pain and anger.

Emily: Do you hate Jason?

Robin: Hate? No. But I'm still so mad and angry at him. I want to blame him for putting me in this situation but I can't. Because ultimately, it's my own fault.

Emily: Is that all that you feel for Jason?

Robin: There are times when I see him I realize how much I miss him. But then something will happen that will make me remember.

Emily: Do you think you get past that?

Robin: I don't know. I'm trying to learn Jason as he is now. He's not the same person as when I first met him.

Emily: That's a start.

Robin: But Emily, I don't know if I want to get involve with Jason again.

Emily: Why?

Robin: Because I'll never be his #1 priority. There will always be Sonny, Michael, and Carly. I don't want to come in fourth. It sounds selfish, doesn't it?

Emily: No, that's how I feel about Nicholas. I don't want to come second to Gia.

Robin: We sound so pathetic.

Emily: We know what we want and we won't settle for less. You know I was thinking it's been a while since we had a girl's night out.

Robin: Some good old fun.

Emily: How about after you get out?

Robin: I like that. Me, you, Brenda, Liz and Mom. It'll be great.

Bobbie: (knocking on the door and walks in) Hi. I need to get your stats.

Emily: Well, I'm going to head out. Call me.

Robin: I will. Thank you for coming by.

Emily: Your welcome. Bye Bobbie.

Bobbie: Bye Emily (Bobbie starts to check Robin blood pressure) So how are you feeling?

Robin: I'm fine.

Bobbie: Any headaches or dizziness?

Robin: No.

Bobbie: Well your blood pressure is normal. Here's your meds (she hands Robin her pills and some water)

Robin: Thank you.

Bobbie: (starts to check Robin's IV) So how do you like being back to Port Charles?

Robin: Bobbie, don't feel like you have to make polite conversation with me.

Bobbie: Robin, I do care about you.

Robin: Now that I'm out of Jason's life?

Bobbie: I resent that.

Robin: So do I. You told me to get out of Jason's life for the sake of Michael and Carly.

Bobbie: They were a family.

Robin: No, they weren't. They were living a lie.

Bobbie: Who are you to judge?

Robin: I loved Jason and he loved me.

Bobbie: That gave you the right to tell AJ?

Robin: I wouldn't have to if Carly had been honest in the first place.

Bobbie: You did not do it for the sake of the truth. You were scared of losing Jason.

Robin: I was scared for Jason. Michael became Jason's life. Carly was using that fact to her advantages.

Bobbie: So you were jealous that Carly could give Jason a baby.

Robin: No! Michael is not Jason's son.

Bobbie: Michael would still be Jason's son if you hadn't interfered.

Anna: (sternly) Bobbie! (Bobbie turns in the direction of Anna, who was standing next to Mac) What do you think you're doing?

Bobbie: We're just talking.

Anna: That's not what I saw (Anna and Mac walk next to Robin) Are you all right, Robin?

Bobbie: We really were just talking.

Anna: From what we heard, you were talking about something you have no idea about.

Bobbie: Anna, you weren't even here.

Anna: I know the facts, Bobbie. Can you say the same thing?

Bobbie: I know all there is to know.

Anna: That's sad, Bobbie. You've known Robin all her life. Has she ever done anything to make you distrust her?

Bobbie: No.

Anna: Then I suggest you get the whole story before you judge my daughter.

Robin: It's all right, Mom.

Anna: No, it's not. I'm tired of everyone blaming you for their mistakes.

Bobbie: Robin is not all innocent.

Anna: She corrected her mistake. Can you say everyone did the same? You of all people should understand Robin's situation. You haven't led a straight and narrow life, Bobbie.

Bobbie: Anna, you can't compare this situation with my life.

Anna: Laura would disagree.

Bobbie: Look all I'm trying to do is protect my daughter.

Anna: I'm not denying you of that. But you are not allowed to judge Robin for something that you don't know anything about.

Bobbie: I know what Carly told me.

Anna: And you've always trusted her, I suppose. You're not the person I remember you to be, Bobbie. I think in the future you should stay away from my family.

Bobbie: Anna, I don't think that is necessary.

Anna: I think it is. I walked into my daughter's hospital room and witnessed you attacking her. I can assure you it won't happen again.

Bobbie: And our friendship?

Anna: You ended it the day you turned against Robin.

Bobbie: I'm sorry you feel that way. I would hate to lose a friend like you.

Anna: I can do without a friend like you. Goodbye Bobbie (Bobbie looks one last time at Robin, Mac, and Anna and leaves)

Robin: Mom, I don't think that was necessary.

Anna: It was.

Mac: Bobbie is your close friend.

Anna: Was. I can't trust her knowing she can pass judgment on Robin for something she knows nothing of. I thought I could trust her to take care of Robin. I was wrong.

Robin: Thank you Mom.

Anna: It's not necessary. I'm your mother. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you.

Mac: That goes for me too.

Robin: (with tears in her eyes) You 2 are great. I wished everyone were as lucky as me to have you.

Mac: I'll have to remember that. On a different note, we need to talk to you.

Robin: The accident?

Anna: Did you remember something?

Robin: Bits and pieces.

Mac: Like what?

Robin: I remember there was a car following me for a while. I remember hitting the tree.

Mac: Can you tell what kind of car?

Robin: No.

Mac: How about who was driving?

Robin: No. All I saw were the headlights.

Anna: Did the car follow you for very long?

Robin: I thought it was weird that it didn't pass me. What's going on? (Mac and Anna look at each other) Mom?

Anna: Honey, I don't want to worry you.

Robin: Then you should tell me what's going on.

Mac: Robin, your car didn't skid off the road. You were pushed off the road.

Robin: It wasn't an accident?

Anna: No, honey. Your car was badly damaged from the back.

Robin: So, you're telling me that someone wanted to kill me.

Mac: Yes.

Robin: Who?

Mac: We don't know. All the leads we have came to a dead end. We were hoping that you would remember something.

Robin: I don't remember anything out of the ordinary.

Anna: What about at the hospital before you left?

Robin: No.

Anna: Did you notice anything out in the parking lot?

Robin: No.

Mac: Robin, can you think of anybody who would want to hurt you?

Robin: (thinks for a few moments) None really. I know longer have any connections to Sonny so I don't think it's anything to do with the organization.

Anna: We didn't think so either.

Mac: Anybody in Paris?

Robin: None I could think of. I led pretty quiet life there, just school and the hospital.

Mac: How about any issues since you've been back in the states?

Robin: I've only had encounters with Carly and Bobbie.

Anna: Carly? When?

Robin: I guess a couple of weeks ago.

Mac: What happened?

Robin: I was talking to AJ when she saw us. You don't think Carly is responsible for my accident?

Anna: No but it's better that we know who you've come in contact with since you've been back.

Mac: I think we should have someone with you at all times.

Robin: No, Uncle Mac. I won't live like that.

Mac: Robin.

Robin: No. I'll be more careful. I promise.

Anna: Well, how about you try to let Mac or I know where you are.

Robin: Ok, I can live with that.

Mac: Me too.

Anna: Good. I think we should leave so Robin can rest. When did Alan say he will release you?

Robin: A couple of more days if everything is fine.

Mac: That's great. All right, we'll head out. Call if you need anything.

Robin: I will.

Anna: (gives Robin a kiss) Bye honey.

Robin: Bye

Setting: Kelly's

Courtney: How's work coming along?

AJ: Great. I actually like what I'm doing. Ned is giving me more responsibilities.

Courtney: He knows how smart you are.

AJ: I think Ned trusts me now that Grandfather is not pulling my strings.

Courtney: I'm glad. I know how important that is to you.

AJ: I want to prove to everyone and myself that I can survive without the family's money.

Courtney: You're doing it AJ. I'm so proud of you.

AJ: Thank you. But I want Michael to be proud to have a father like me.

Courtney: He will. Does Alexis have any news?

AJ: She's presenting the papers to the judge yesterday. We should know something in a few days.

Courtney: Did Alexis think we have a good chance?

AJ: She was positive.

At the door Sonny walks in. He sees Julia sitting by herself and makes his way toward her table.

Sonny: Julia.

Julia: (looks up from her paper) Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: May I join you?

Julia: If I say no, would you leave?

Sonny: Are you saying no?

Julia: Why don't you make it short?

Sonny: (Sonny sits down across Julia) Why isn't that I always catch you by yourself?

Julia: Bad luck on my part?

Sonny: (laughs a little) Or good luck on mine. How's is Port Charles treating you?

Julia: I like Port Charles. It's quieter.

Sonny: You don't find it boring?

Julia: How so?

Sonny: You are big corporate executive. Port Charles must not be very challenging.

Julia: You don't know me enough to make that comment.

Sonny: Then it's true?

Julia: What about you, Mr. Corinthos? I would think Port Charles is too small of a city. The ports are small, crime is light, no casinos, and not enough people to drink coffee.

Sonny: (smiles) Julia, what are you implying?

Julia: Who said I was implying?

Sonny: (laughs a little) You are good Julia.

Courtney: (catches Sonny laughing) Who's that sitting with Sonny?

AJ: Julia, she's Brenda's sister.

Courtney: I didn't know Brenda has a sister. I wonder what Sonny is doing with her.

AJ: Looks like they're talking.

Sonny: Will you be making Port Charles your home?

Julia: For now.

Sonny: Brenda must be happy.

Julia: Is that important to you?

Sonny: Brenda being happy? I care what happens to her.

Julia: Is that all?

Sonny: Why are you asking?

Julia: It's a logical question, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Brenda and I have a history together. I'll always care for her.

Julia: And your wife? How does she feel that you still care for Brenda?

Sonny: Carly? She understands.

Julia: Then she's a rarity. Most wives wouldn't.

Sonny: Would you?

Julia: I'm not anyone's wife, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Why is that?

Julia: It's none of your business.

Sonny: It's just a question.

Julia: One that I wouldn't answer you.

Sonny: Why?

Julia: I think this conversation is over (the door opens and in walks Carly. Julia looks up and sees Carly.) This conversation is definitely over.

Sonny: What? Why?

Carly: (standing at Julia's table with her hands on her hip) What's going on here?

Sonny: Carly.

Carly: You didn't answer my question.

Julia: (gathers her stuff) I believe this conversation does not require my presence.

Carly: (gives Julia a nasty look) What is that supposed to mean?

Julia: (looks at Sonny) I confirm my earlier remark that she is a rarity, Mr. Corinthos. Goodbye.

Carly: What is she talking about Sonny?

Sonny: Nothing Carly. Why don't you sit down?

Carly: (continues to stand over Sonny) Why is it that every time I turn, you're talking to her?

Sonny: I don't want to get into this here.

Carly: Then where?

Sonny: Are you going to make a scene every time I speak to a woman?

Carly: It's more than that and you know it.

Sonny: Enough! I will not discuss this with you here. I'm going home (Sonny gets up and leaves)

Carly: Sonny (but Sonny continues walking)

Courtney: (witnessed the whole scene) What was all that about?

AJ: A scene that Carly likes to create.

Setting: Robin's room later same day.

Alcazar: Up for some company?

Robin: (smiles) Definitely for you.

Alcazar: How are you feeling?

Robin: I'm great. Getting a little restless though.

Alcazar: Now you know how your patients feel.

Robin: I'm not that bad. How are you doing?

Alcazar: Fine I suppose.

Robin: Do I detect a sound of boredom?

Alcazar: Maybe restlessness.

Robin: Are you getting to leave Port Charles?

Alcazar: Why do you say that?

Robin: I know you don't like to settle in one place for too long.

Alcazar: But now I have a reason to stay.

Robin: Why?

Alcazar: Do you have to ask?

Robin: Please don't feel you have to stay because of me. I am really fine.

Alcazar: I'm more than concern about you Robin.

Robin: Oh.

Alcazar: Are you disappointed?

Robin: That's your staying? No. I'll miss you if you leave.

Alcazar: Then what?

Robin: I don't want you to stay and be disappointed.

Alcazar: Why would I be disappointed?

Robin: I still don't know if I'm ready for a relationship.

Alcazar: I believe I said I'd be patient.

Robin: What about if I'll never be ready?

Alcazar: (slowly lower his head to Robin) Never is a long time, my Robin (Luis tenderly kisses Robin on the lips. Robin responds lightly) I don't think I'll have to wait that long.

Robin: (a little embarrassed) Luis.

Alcazar: I will never be disappointed with you, my Robin.

Robin: Does that mean you'll stay?

Alcazar: I was never planning to leave.

Robin: (covers a yawn) Ooh, I'm sorry. The nurse just gave me some medicine.

Alcazar: Why don't you close your close and get some sleep?

Robin: Will you come back later if you can?

Alcazar: Of course. How about I bring you some dinner?

Robin: That sounds yummy. Hospital food isn't very good (takes another yawn)

Alcazar: I'll surprise you. Sleep, my Robin (Luis lightly touches Robin's hair. He watches Robin sleep for a while and then he gets up to leaves. As he leaves Robin's room, Jason walks toward it. The 2 men look at each other.) Why would you be here?

Jason: What does it matter to you?

Alcazar: Robin matters to me.

Jason: Since when?

Alcazar: Since the day you left her heartbroken carrying your child.

Jason: (trying not show his anger and guilt) You don't know what you're talking about.

Alcazar: That's where you're wrong. There's nothing about Robin that I don't know. She trusts me with her life. There's nothing I wouldn't do to protect her.

Jason: What happened to Brenda?

Alcazar: Robin did. You were lucky once with Robin. It won't happen again.

Jason: And you have a say?

Alcazar: It's the facts. The only thing you've ever done is hurt Robin. She still has scars because of you. Don't you think you've done enough damage?

Jason: If Robin wants me to stay away, she will tell me.

Alcazar: Are you sure she hasn't? She wasn't a priority to you in the past and she won't be a priority to you now. Don't you think she deserves better?

Jason: Meaning you?

Alcazar: There's no one more important to me than Robin. Can you say the same? (Alcazar walks off)

Jason: (watches Alcazar walks off. Jason's phone rings.) Morgan.

Mac: Jason, it's Mac.

Jason: Is something wrong?

Mac: No. Is it possible for you to keep a close eye on Robin?

Jason: What's going on?

Mac: Robin refuses to have a guard. I can't think of anyone else who I can trust to look after her.

Jason: (shocked at Mac's comment) I'll keep you posted.

Mac: Thank you.

Jason puts away his phone. He seems to be perplexed. Mac trusts him to look after Robin. Jason slowly walks into Robin's room. He sees Robin sleeping. Jason sits on the chair next to Robin's bed and watches her. She looks so peaceful in her sleep. Peace. Does Robin know anything about peace? Her life seems to always be filled with pain and agony. Jason remembers to the time that he got shot in her living room. Robin was in pain seeing him get shot and then agonized that she couldn't help him with his wound. Jason remembers how Robin tried to get him to quit the organization. Now thinking about it, he doesn't think that Robin was scared for herself. She was more scare of him getting killed. He remembers how angry he was that Robin went to Sonny. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to do that. She must have known how mad he would be. He should have known then that there's nothing Robin wouldn't do for him. How can I be so stupid? I had her love and I threw it away. For what? Jason can feel himself getting mad thinking about it.

Robin: (she awakens slowly. Robin looks at Jason but it seemed like he was miles away. He looks mad) What did I do to deserve such a look?

Jason: (breaks out of his trance. He smiles softly at Robin) You didn't do anything.

Robin: What was that look for?

Jason: I was thinking.

Robin: I guess I forgot how intense you can be sometimes.

Jason: (he looks at Robin) What else did you forget about me?

Robin: (not sure if she heard Jason correctly) Excuse me?

Jason: I remember every single detail about you. The way you talk, laugh, and smile. I remember you don't get mad very easily. You're very patience with children. You like the smell of jasmine. You make a wish before you blow out candles.

Robin: Where are you going with this?

Jason: I'm remembering.

Robin: Why? Why are you telling me this?

Jason: I don't know. I miss not talking to you.

Robin: We don't really have very much to talk about anymore.

Jason: You can't believe that.

Robin: It's the truth.

Jason: No. The truth is you and I have always been in tune with each other. We know what the other was thinking without having to hear it.

Robin: That's in the past.

Jason: But it doesn't have to be. We're here now.

Robin: What are you asking me?

Jason: I'm asking for a chance.

Robin: (trying to control her emotion. For so long, she wanted to hear those words. She dreamed of Jason asking her to come back, to forgive him. Robin looks at Jason and slowly shakes her head) I can't.

Jason: Why Robin? I know you love me as much as I love you. I want to give you the fairytale ending.

Robin: I've grownup Jason. I know there's nothing as a perfect love. There's no fairytale ending.

Jason: You don't believe that.

Robin: I've had to. I've been fortunate enough to find love twice in my life, first with Stone and then with you. I loved you both with all my being and I eventually lost you both. I don't have any regrets but I don't have the ability to love like that again. I have everything that I want, my family, friends, and my career. I'm not missing anything.

Jason: (he takes Robin's hands) I can't believe you've stopped believing in love. I felt you in my arms. I felt you come alive when I kissed you.

Robin: Jason there will always be a part of me that responds to you. I don't know how not to.

Jason: Then why are you turning your back on us?

Robin: (takes her hands away from Jason) There is no us. There hasn't been for a very long time.

Jason: I won't take this Robin. I know you love me. And you know I love you.

Robin: (with tears in her eyes) I think it will be better if we stay away from each other.

Jason: (almost too loudly) NO! I will not stay away from you Robin. I won't let you runaway from us. I love you. I'll prove to you that I love you.

Robin: Don't. You won't gain anything.

Jason: Then it's my lost. I won't lose you again Robin.

Robin: I don't know how else to make you understand.

Jason: I understand perfectly Robin. I will make you understand that you can't just throw us away (Jason leaves the room abruptly. Robin watches him go. She starts to cry.)

Setting: Robin's later

Luis was true to his words and did bring dinner for Robin. They had a nice relaxing time discussing Paris and all the places Luis has traveled to. Luis mentioned that he might open an import/export business in Port Charles. He's especially interested in arts and artifacts from other countries. Robin was excited to hear Luis wanting to stay in Port Charles permanently. She feels calm with Luis around. Luis doesn't put any pressure on their relationship. Deep down, Robin believes that they'll always have their friendship. Robin reached over to get some water and her eyes caught the plant Jason gave her. She smiles. Robin picks up the plant. It seemed like a lifetime ago that she gave Jason the hat. Who would have thought a simple hat could lead to so much. The thought of how Jason kissed her after she told him she was HIV warms her heart. He was so courageous and beautiful.

Jason: (slowly comes into the room. He sees Robin holding his plant) Hi.

Robin: (puts the plant down) What are you doing here?

Jason: (walks closer to Robin's bed) Do you want me to leave?

Robin: (quietly) No.

Jason: (lets out the breath he was holding) I brought you something.

Robin: (sits farther up in the bed) You did? What is it?

Jason: (hands Robin a bag) Why don't you find out?

Robin: (looks inside the bag. She giggles) Oh Jason!

Jason: (happy to see Robin like his gift) I didn't exactly know which ones to buy so the lady at the bookstore picked them out.

Robin: These are great. I can't remember the last time I had a chance to read a romance novel.

Jason: I figured you were getting bored in here.

Robin: You must have a mirror ball at home.

Jason: What do I need a mirror ball for?

Robin: It's a figure of speech. You read my mind.

Jason: Oh.

Robin: Thank you for these books. You didn't have to bring them by tonight.

Jason: I wanted to see you.

Robin: (surprise at Jason's candor) Why?

Jason: I didn't like how we left things. Robin, I know I've hurt you. I won't even begin to ask you for your forgiveness. I know I don't deserve it.

Robin: (she looks tenderly at Jason) Jason, I've forgiven you a long time ago.

Jason: (surprise) You have?

Robin: I guess after Caitlin passed away and my suicide attempt, I had to learn to let go of my anger. I couldn't go on with my life if I held on to the past.

Jason: Is that why you took Stone's name?

Robin: Partly. I became this person that I didn't recognize anymore. Taking Stone's name helps me remember the reasons he fell in love with me. Stone thought I was a good and kind person. I want to be that person again.

Jason: You were always good and kind Robin.

Robin: No. If I were I wouldn't have kept Michael away from AJ.

Jason: But you did that because of me.

Robin: The means doesn't justify the end. Sometimes, I would play the what-ifs game. What if I was more adamant about telling AJ? What if I didn't agree to let Carly move in with us? What if I told you that I was going to tell AJ? I came to the hard conclusion that if I had been true to myself, I might not have lost so much.

Jason: Robin, do you want me to stay away from you?

Robin: (thinks about Jason's questions. She remembers all the times how she wished he was there with her, how she could see his face, feel his presence) Not if you don't want to.

Jason: I'll always want to be with you Robin.

Robin: Jason, I don't want you to misunderstand. I can't give you anything more.

Jason: (takes Robin's hands in his) I have all that I want.

Robin: (smiles) Thank you.

Jason: For what?

Robin: For being you.

Jason: I better get going so you can get some sleep.

Robin: Thank you again for the books.

Jason: (lowers his face to Robin. Robin was so aware of Jason she didn't dare to move) Sweet dreams, Robin (Jason placed a light kiss on Robin's cheek)

Robin: Goodnight (she watches Jason leaves. Robin touches the spot on the cheek that Jason just kissed.)

Setting: GH next day

Amy: Hi Anna, you here early.

Anna: I wanted to see Robin before she goes for her CAT scan.

Amy: I'm sure everything is fine. Her vitals have been good the last few days.

Anna: I'm hoping for that. Could I ask you something, Amy?

Amy: Of course.

Anna: Could you keep it between us?

Amy: I can do that. What is it?

Anna: On the day of Robin's accident, do you remember anything weird?

Amy: Weird? No, I don't think so.

Anna: Was there anyone snooping around about Robin?

Amy: (thinks for a moment) Jason came by that morning asking if Robin will be at work. Oh! Carly made some remarks about Robin being unfit to be a doctor.

Anna: What?

Amy: AJ was waiting for Monica and he and I were talking about Michael and Robin. Carly came over and said Robin shouldn't even be allowed to be a doctor, something about being sick and trying to take her son away.

Anna: What happened after that?

Amy: AJ told Carly she was trash for saying such things. Carly said something about paying AJ & Robin back then left.

Anna: Anything else?

Amy: You know there was a man looking for Robin. He said he had an appointment with her.

Anna: Did he say who he was?

Amy: No, he wouldn't tell me his name.

Anna: What did he look like?

Amy: Tall, good-looking, not too dark coloring.

Anna: Did he say anything else?

Amy: He left when I told him that Robin was gone for the day.

Anna: Will you call me if you see him again?

Amy: Is anything wrong?

Anna: I don't think so. I better go see Robin. Thank you Amy.

Amy: No problem

Setting: Robin's room

Anna: Hi darling (Anna gives Robin a kiss)

Robin: What are you doing here?

Anna: I wanted to see you before you had your CAT scan.

Robin: I'm sure everything is fine.

Anna: I know. Alan will release you if everything is normal?

Robin: Yup. My blood work looks good. Now all I need is a clean CAT scan and I'm all set to go home.

Anna: Today?

Robin: I don't know. Is something on your mind?

Anna: How many run-ins have you actually had with Carly?

Robin: I think 2 or 3 times.

Anna: Did she threaten you?

Robin: Carly always threatens me. I don't pay much attention to it. Why?

Anna: I guess I'm trying to figure her out.

Robin: Good luck.

Anna: I have to get to the station. Will you call me with the results?

Robin: Of course. Say hi to Uncle Mac for me.

Anna: I will darling. Bye

Setting: Outside of Robin's room

Anna: Hi AJ.

AJ: Hi Anna. Did I miss Robin?

Anna: No, she's still here. AJ, can I have a few minutes?

AJ: Yes. What can I do for you?

Anna: I wanted to ask you about Carly.

AJ: Carly? What do you want to know?

Anna: Had she said anything about Robin?

AJ: Carly and I are not on the best of terms. Carly still resents Robin for telling me about Michael.

Anna: Has she made any threats against Robin?

AJ: Carly always make threats. But now that you ask, Carly was very angry that Robin agreed to help me with Michael's custody.

Anna: When was this?

AJ: I guess a week or so before Robin's accident.

Anna: How's the case coming along?

AJ: That's why I'm here. The judge granted me supervised visitation with Michael.

Anna: Congratulations. I have to get going.

AJ: Ok.

Anna: AJ, could you let me know if there's anything else that Carly might have said or done that you thought it was weird.

AJ: I can do that.

Anna: Bye AJ.

Setting: Robin's room

AJ: Can I come in?

Robin: AJ! What are you doing here?

AJ: I have some good news and I wanted to share it with you.

Robin: What?

AJ: The judge granted me supervised visitation with Michael.

Robin: AJ, that's great. I'm so happy for you. When are you going to see him?

AJ: This weekend if I can get it arrange with Sonny and Carly.

Robin: Will they try to stop you?

AJ: Alexis has the court document. She's delivering it to them today.

Robin: This is good news.

AJ: Alexis thinks this is a good sign that I might be able to gain custody of Michael.

Robin: I'll keep my fingers cross for you.

AJ: You probably have to testify when we go to court.

Robin: I know. I said I wanted to help.

AJ: I thought maybe with everything that is going on, you might have changed your mind.

Robin: Don't be silly. I'm fine. Alan might even release me today.

AJ: Ah, that's why you're so happy.

Robin: I'm getting restless being here.

AJ: I have to get to the office.

Robin: OK. Say hi to Michael for me.

AJ: I will. Bye Robin.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Johnny: Mrs. Alexis Davis

Carly: What does she want?

Sonny: Johnny, ask Mrs. Davis to come in (Alexis walks in) Alexis. What can we do for you?

Alexis: This isn't a social call.

Carly: (rolls her eyes at Alexis) Thank god for small favors.

Alexis: (ignores Carly) I wanted to give you this so we can make arrangements.

Sonny: (takes the paper from Alexis) What is it? (Sonny flips through the pages quickly) You can't be serious.

Alexis: I'm very serious. That is the legal seal of the appellate court.

Carly: Sonny, what is it?

Sonny: The judge granted AJ supervised visitation with Michael.

Carly: WHAT? (Grabs the paper from Sonny) How the hell can this happen?

Alexis: It's called the law, Carly.

Carly: (gives Alexis a nasty look) You did this, didn't you? Is this your revenge for Sonny leaving you?

Alexis: This isn't personal. AJ came to me for help and I did. We are after all family now.

Carly: Don't be so proud of being related to that drunk and liar.

Alexis: Actually, AJ has been somber for over 4 months now. Now that you mention it, isn't that how you got AJ to sleep with you?

Sonny: I'll have my lawyer look over this.

Alexis: You have one day to decide what day is best for you. Social services will contact you for a location to drop off Michael.

Carly: (mad as hell) I'm not leaving my son with that drunk.

Alexis: You don't have a choice. Goodbye (Alexis leaves)

Carly: Can they do this?

Sonny: According to this document they can.

Carly: I thought you said there wasn't anything they could do.

Sonny: That's what I thought.

Carly: Damn it Sonny! We're going to lose Michael and it's all Robin's fault.

Sonny: Robin? What does she have to do with this?

Carly: I heard Courtney talking to Elizabeth that Robin agreed to help AJ regain custody of Michael.

Sonny: Why didn't you tell me?

Carly: I've tried but you always assured me that they can't do anything.

Sonny: (grabs his coat) I'll be back in a little bit.

Carly: Where are you going?

Sonny: I need to cake of some things.

Carly: What is more important than Michael?

Sonny: Stay here. I'll be back (Sonny leaves)

Carly: Damn you Robin! Why didn't you just die?

Setting: Kelly's same day.

Emily: So how are your classes coming along?

Liz: It's getting tough but I love it.

Emily: Will you be taking more classes next semester?

Liz: I think so. I like being a student. I'm learning so much and meeting all these people who have so much experience than me.

Emily: That's college for you, opens up a world of everything (door opens and in walks Jason) Jason, hi.

Jason: What are you up to?

Liz: We're just talking about college.

Jason: Don't let me interrupt.

Liz: Don't be silly. Sit down. I have to get back to work anyway. Want anything?

Jason: A bowl of chili.

Liz: Coming right up.

Emily: So, did you hear the news?

Jason: What news?

Emily: AJ got supervised visitation privileges with Michael.

Jason: When did this happen?

Emily: AJ received the news this morning.

Jason: I wonder how Carly is taking it.

Emily: Is that what you're worried about?

Jason: What do you mean?

Emily: Jason, AJ is your brother. Carly is nothing to you.

Jason: Carly is my friend.

Emily: (gets a little mad) Is she Jason? Was she your friend when she lied to Robin? Was she your friend when she told everyone that you kidnapped Michael? Was she your friend when she slept with Sonny?

Jason: Ok, Emily. I understand what you're trying to say.

Emily: I hope so.

Jason: She is Michael's mother.

Emily: And AJ is Michael's father. You seem to forget that.

Jason: I know he is. But Michael knows Sonny as his father.

Emily: Who's fault is that? (Emily takes a breath) I don't want to get into this with you.

Jason: I know I created this situation. The only thing I've really wanted was the best for Michael. You and Robin believe that AJ is good for Michael. I trust you and Robin.

Emily: Thank you Jason.

Jason: I have to go.

Emily: Bye Jason.

Setting: Robin's room

Robin is reading one of the romance novel Jason gave her. She's waiting for Alan with the CAT scan result.

Sonny: You look good.

Robin: (puts her book down) What are you doing here?

Sonny: I wanted to see how you are doing.

Robin: As you can see I'm fine.

Sonny: When are they releasing you?

Robin: Why are you really here?

Sonny: I needed to talk to you about Michael.

Robin: What about Michael?

Sonny: Why do you want to take him away from Carly and me?

Robin: (laughs slightly) Are you kidding me? You have a lot of nerve.

Sonny: I have a lot of nerve? You're trying to break up my family.

Robin: You're family? Funny but last I checked Michael was AJ's son.

Sonny: He's my son.

Robin: No, he's not. You took him away from AJ. Don't think I don't know what you did to gain custody of Michael.

Sonny: You don't have any rights to judge me.

Robin: Believe me I'm not. I could careless about you. But I do care about AJ.

Sonny: Since when?

Robin: I've known AJ all my life. I trust him.

Sonny: So that's what this is about. You're getting back at me for what happened?

Robin: It might be hard for you to believe this but I'm not that kind of a person. I didn't help AJ for revenge against you. I truly believe that AJ can be a good father to Michael.

Sonny: AJ is nothing but a drunk and liar.

Robin: Some people could say you're no better.

Sonny: Robin, you know how much a family means to me.

Robin: Don't you get it? I'm not doing this to hurt you. Michael is AJ's son. I've kept him away from AJ long enough. I won't do it anymore.

Sonny: Stone would...

Robin: Don't you dare say Stone's name in my presence. You don't want to go there.

Sonny: You're my sister Robin. I can't believe you would hurt me like this.

Robin: I stopped being your sister the day you married Carly.

Sonny: I didn't marry Carly to hurt you. It didn't have anything to do with you.

Robin: (gets angry) Carly tore my world apart. I lost Jason. Don't you dare say Carly didn't have anything to do with me! If you really thought of me as a sister, you would never have gotten involved with Carly.

Sonny: I love Carly.

Robin: Then you've made your choice. I think you should leave.

Sonny: This is not over.

Robin: Yes it is (Sonny leaves. As Sonny walks out of Robin's room, Luis walks toward it)

Alcazar: What are you doing here?

Sonny: Why would I answer you?

Alcazar: I know what you did to Robin. I won't standby and let you hurt her again.

Sonny: It doesn't involve you.

Alcazar: That's where you're wrong. I will protect Robin with everything I have. How is that wife of yours? How's her pregnancy coming along?

Sonny: Stay away from my wife.

Alcazar: Wouldn't want anything to disturb her delicate state, I'm sure (Alcazar walks off. Sonny wonders what Alcazar means)

Setting: PCPD

Anna: Hi. How are things going?

Mac: Busy. Sorry I couldn't get together earlier.

Anna: it's alright. Robin said hi.

Mac: How is she?

Anna: Restless. She thinks Alan might release her today.

Mac: That's great.

Anna: The house is a little lonely without her.

Mac: What am I?

Anna: Don't fish for a compliment.

Mac: (smiles) You are something for my ego.

Anna: I try. I had an interesting talk with Amy this morning.

Mac: What about?

Anna: Carly. It's seems like she's been making threats toward Robin.

Mac: That's nothing new.

Anna: Did you know that Robin is helping AJ with Michael's custody?

Mac: No. So the threats had to do with Michael.

Anna: Yes. AJ received supervised visitation with Michael.

Mac: Carly must be livid.

Anna: She blames Robin.

Mac: You believe that Carly has something to do with Robin's accident?

Anna: Yes.

Mac: I can't believe she would be so obvious.

Anna: Well, I'm going to check her out.

Mac: Be careful of Sonny.

Anna: I will. Have you heard from Jason?

Mac: He checked in yesterday. Nothing new.

Anna: So, you're okay with him being with Robin?

Mac: You know I hate what he does for a living but I do have to admit that I've always trusted him to take care of Robin.

Anna: He does seem to care for Robin.

Mac: Don't remind me.

Anna: Oh, Mac.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Jason: Hi Johnny. How long has Sonny been out?

Johnny: A couple of hours.

Jason: Is Carly around?

Johnny: She left a little after Mr. Corinthos.

Jason: Thanks Johnny (Johnny leaves just as Sonny arrives) Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Is Carly here?

Johnny: She left a little after you did.

Sonny: Jason.

Jason: I heard about Michael. How is Carly handling it?

Sonny: How do you expect?

Jason: What are you going to do?

Sonny: We have no choice. The document is legit.

Jason: I'm sorry Sonny.

Sonny: I don't understand how AJ pulled this off.

Jason: What do you mean?

Sonny: He might have a chance to gain custody of Michael.

Jason: AJ is a different person now. He's married with a stable job. He's not drinking anymore.

Sonny: What are you saying? AJ is fit to be Michael's father?

Jason: AJ is Michael's father.

Sonny: (mad) No, I'm Michael's father. I'm the only father he knows.

Jason: (trying to appease Sonny) Sonny, I didn't mean that...

Sonny: Don't bother. I will not lose my family. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family.

Jason: What do you mean Sonny?

Sonny: I will protect my family. Anyone who hurts my family will pay.

Jason: You do know that Robin is helping AJ, don't you?

Sonny: Yeah, I know.

Jason: What are you going to do about that?

Sonny: What do you mean?

Jason: Are you going to go after Robin?

Sonny: What? I still think of Robin as my sister. I would never hurt her.

Jason: (relieved) And AJ?

Sonny: I don't know. Why?

Jason: I can't be apart of it.

Sonny: What?

Jason: I can't help you deal with AJ. I don't even want to know what your plans are.

Sonny: What are you saying? I can't count on you for this?

Jason: Sonny, AJ is Robin's friend. I can't get involve.

Sonny: (astounded by Jason's comment) So your loyalty is to Robin.

Jason: I love Robin. I can't continue to hurt her.

Sonny: Fine. If you don't want to be involved then I won't involve you.

Setting: Outside of GH

Jason: (talking on his cell) Mac, it's Jason.

Mac: Anything?

Jason: Sonny received Michael custody's papers today. He's mad.

Mac: I figure as much.

Jason: He assured me that he won't go after Robin.

Mac: You believe him?

Jason: Sonny still considers Robin his sister.

Mac: And Carly?

Jason: I haven't seen her.

Mac: Anna found out that Carly has made several threats to Robin.

Jason: When?

Mac: I guess a week or so before Robin's accident.

Jason: Ok, I'll check it out.

Mac: Let me know if you find anything.

Setting: Robin's room

The CAT scan result came back negative. Since it was a little late, Alan decided to release Robin tomorrow. Robin is sleeping. Carly walks into Robin's room. She sees Robin sleeping and slowly approaches Robin's bed. Carly plays with Robin's IV.

Robin: (wakes up and sees Carly) What do you think you are doing?

Carly: (takes her hand away from the IV quickly) You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you.

Robin: Then you should have left.

Carly: I would have thought you be dying for visitors.

Robin: (looks questionably at Carly) What do you mean by that?

Carly: Nothing. You must be very happy with yourself.

Robin: Why would I be?

Carly: Don't act innocent. You might have everyone else fooled but not me.

Robin: Lucky me I think.

Carly: Are you just born righteous?

Robin: I think your mixing up words with conscience.

Carly: Conscience? Is that why you're helping AJ? You feel guilty for keeping Michael away from AJ?

Robin: I don't have to explain myself to you.

Carly: Yes you do, you bitch. Because of you, I'm losing my family.

Robin: You give me too much credit.

Carly: Why didn't go just stay away? Sonny isn't your protector anymore. Jason has moved on with life. He doesn't need you be his conscience. Did you know that Jason fell in love with me after you left? (Robin not saying anything) He was heartbroken when I married AJ. He was willing to do anything to have Michael and me. Jason loves me.

Robin: Why are you telling me this?

Carly: You're never going to get Jason back. You helping AJ is just going to make Jason hate you. Jason still cares for Michael. He won't let AJ anywhere near Michael.

Robin: (trying to stay calm) Again, why are you telling me this?

Carly: You are pathetic. You can't have your own family so you want to destroy mine. I won't let you. Jason will always put Michael first.

Jason: (hearing what Carly just said) Carly! What are you doing?

Carly: (turns around to Jason) Jason!

Jason: I asked you a question.

Carly: I was just visiting Robin.

Jason: (he looks at Robin. Robin looks detached from the conversation) You shouldn't be here.

Carly: Jason, you don't really need to protect her anymore.

Robin: (getting tired of the conversation) Why don't you take this somewhere else? Neither one of you should be here.

Jason: (he looks at Robin and realized that Robin was mad but she was trying to not to show it) Carly, could you leave? I need to talk to Robin.

Carly: You don't have anything to talk to her about.

Jason: Don't make assumption about my life. Sonny is waiting for you.

Carly: Fine. If you want to waste your time (she walks out of the room)

Jason: I'm sorry about that.

Robin: (not looking at Jason) I don't want to hear it.

Jason: I'm not making excuses for Carly.

Robin: I don't care if you are or not.

Jason: Robin, I'm sorry Carly hurt you.

Robin: She can't hurt me anymore. It just words.

Jason: Carly is wrong. Michael is not my priority.

Robin: You don't have to explain yourself to me.

Jason: I want to. I love Michael but I love you more.

Robin: (she looks at Jason) Why are you telling me this?

Jason: In the past, you felt you weren't a priority to me. I never meant for you to feel that way. I don't want you to feel that now. I'm just Michael's uncle. I accept that.

Robin: I know Michael is important to you. I never held that against you. I don't want you to do anything because of me.

Jason: I'm not. I know AJ got visitation privileges.

Robin: Is that why you're here?

Jason: It doesn't involve me anymore.

Robin: But I'm involved.

Jason: AJ is lucky to have you by his side.

Robin: (not believing what she's hearing. She smiles) Was that a compliment?

Jason: (Glad that Robin was smiling again) Are you looking for one?

Robin: Jason! (laughs) You're not suppose to ask a person that.

Jason: Why not?

Robin: Well because you make the person sound vain.

Jason: You're not vain.

Robin: (laughs and shake her head at Jason) Thank you. I'm getting out tomorrow.

Jason: Does that mean that you're fine?

Robin: Yes. You really do worry too much. I told you I was fine.

Jason: I know you put up a good front.

Robin: How about truce?

Jason: Only truce?

Robin: Jason.

Jason: (approaches Robin) Robin (He lightly traces Robin's jawline)

Robin: (can't stop staring at Jason) You're trying to distract me.

Jason: (smiles) Is it working?

Robin: You know it is.

Jason: I'm glad (he kisses Robin lightly) I was worried.

Robin: (distracted by Jason's kiss) Worried?

Jason: Yes (he gives Robin another light kiss)

Robin: (pulls back slowly) You don't play fair.

Jason: If you say so.

Robin: How's your warehouse coming along?

Jason: (raises his eyebrow at Robin. He understood what Robin was doing) It's finished. We open next week.

Robin: Are you excited?

Jason: I am. I started with burnt down building and now I have a warehouse.

Robin: You sound overwhelmed.

Jason: I am. I was able to actualize my vision.

Robin: That's a good thing. Not a lot of people can do that.

Jason: I don't want to stop with the warehouse.

Robin: What do you want to do?

Jason: I want to continue building.

Robin: That's great. You know if you really like it you should get a construction license.

Jason: I've been giving it some thoughts.

Robin: You have?

Jason: I enjoy the physical aspect of it. But the design and the aspect of construction is also challenging.

Robin: You know you might need your hat if you decide construction is your thing.

Jason: It's safe with you.

Robin: I'm getting out tomorrow so you might be able to get the hat back sooner.

Jason: Alan is releasing you?

Robin: Everything is normal. I need to get back to work.

Jason: I don't think you should start pushing yourself.

Robin: (laughs a little) Jason, I'm perfectly fine. Besides, you know I like to keep busy.

Jason: Only when you're trouble with something.

Robin: (shakes her head at Jason) I forgot how good your memory is. If it makes you better, Alan is not letting me back to work until next week.

Jason: (nods his head) Good (the door opens and in walks Luis carrying a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Jason looks at him)

Luis: Am I disturbing?

Robin: No. Come in.

Luis: (hands the flowers to Robin) These are for you.

Robin: You don't have to bring me something every time you come.

Luis: You like getting them?

Robin: (smiles) Yes.

Luis: Then I don't have a problem.

Jason: (watching the interaction between Alcazar and Robin. He feels like neither one remembered that he was in the room. Jason was irritated) I have to go.

Luis: Don't go on my account (Jason just looks at Alcazar without saying anything)

Robin: You don't have to leave.

Jason: I have to finish some stuff at the warehouse.

Robin: Ok, thank you for coming by.

Jason: Bye Robin (he walks out. Jason lingers outside the door. He can hear Robin laughing at something Alcazar said. Jason rubs his fist and leaves)

Luis: I came by to tell you I have to head out of town for a couple of days.

Robin: Anything wrong?

Luis: No. I want to inspect some of the items that I'm thinking of importing.

Robin: Like what?

Luis: I found this little village in Thailand that produces incredible wood items. I got hold of an elephant that was carved out of wood. It weights around 50 pounds and it's so intricate in detail. But the attraction is it's a showpiece and it's useful. The crafter carved out a flat surface so you could lay a plant on it or any other item.

Robin: I can't wait to see it.

Luis: The village is incredibly poor so I think the income will do good.

Robin: I've never been to Asia. It looks so beautiful from the books I've seen.

Luis: Then we'll have to make a trip to Asia when you're better.

Robin: I do have to work.

Luis: Work can wait.

Robin: It's already waited while I've been in here.

Luis: My plane is ready to go. Just give me the words.

Robin: That must be nice to go anywhere you want anytime.

Luis: It has its disadvantages.

Robin: Like what?

Luis: It does get lonesome.

Robin: That just mean you have to make friends fast.

Luis: I have all I want in front of me.

Robin: That's very nice for you to say.

Luis: I mean every word.

Robin: I know.

Setting: Mac's house, next day

Brenda: Glad to be home?

Robin: You have no idea.

Brenda: When are you heading back to work?

Robin: In a couple of days...Alan refuses to let me go back any sooner.

Brenda: In that case, maybe you could do something for me.

Robin: What?

Brenda: Well Jax and I were going to talk to you about this on the day of your accident.I want you to know that I really thought this out. It doesn't have anything to do with our friendship. Well, it does but not all of it.

Robin: What is it?

Brenda: Will you be my model for Deception?

Robin: (shocked) Come again?

Brenda: Will you be my model for Deception?

Robin: That's what I thought I heard. Why?

Brenda: Remember I was talking to you about the expanding the image of Deception?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: I wanted to use Anna but it would be big blunder for job. So naturally I thought of you.

Robin: Naturally.

Brenda: I'm serious. You have the same features and coloring as Anna. You have just as high profile career. Plus you're the perfect age, mid twenties.

Robin: I've looked at myself in the mirror Brenda. I look nothing like my mom. I'm plain.

Brenda: No, you're not. You're not beautiful in the conventional sense. But you have that exotic appeal. Plus you have a great personality that will definitely transpire on pictures.

Robin: I don't know.

Brenda: You're young, you're ambitious, plus you're doing your residency.

Robin: How is that going to sell your products?

Brenda: Look at you Robin. You look good just sitting there in your PJs. That's what I want for Deception. Natural.

Robin: I seriously have to think about it.

Brenda: Since you have the next couple of days off, how about I schedule some test shots with Lucky?

Robin: I don't know. I would be too self-conscious.

Brenda: No you won't. You know Lucky all his life. Plus he's really easy to work with.

Robin: I can think about it?

Brenda: Of course you can. But I want you to see your photos before you make up your mind.

Robin: Are you sure you want to waste your time with me?

Brenda: I won't be wasting time. You'll be terrific.

Robin: Fine. When?

Brenda: How about I have Lucky call you?

Robin: Fine.

Brenda: Hey, don't sound too enthusiastic!

Robin: I'm actually really gushing inside.

Brenda: Funny. I have some other news.

Robin: Does it have to do with me?

Brenda: (laughs) No. Skye finally granted Jax a divorce.

Robin: That's great! Why did she change her mind?

Brenda: I don't know. Maybe she finally realized that Jax is not coming back to her.

Robin: I feel bad for her.

Brenda: You know I do too. I'm kind of in debt to Skye.

Robin: Why?

Brenda: She helped Jax move on when he thought I was dead.

Robin: He did found some happiness. You don't resent that?

Brenda: How could I? I made the choice to stay away. I'm just glad that Jax wanted me back.

Robin: Jax will always want you. That's why he's special.

Brenda: That he is. How are things with you and Luis?

Robin: He told me he loves me.

Brenda: And you?

Robin: I love Luis. Just not the way he wants.

Brenda: Do you think you can grow to love him?

Robin: He makes it hard not to.

Brenda: So you are developing feelings for him.

Robin: I guess so. I don't feel any pressure when I'm with him.

Brenda: As opposed to Jason?

Robin: Jason wants me back.

Brenda: That's a bad thing?

Robin: I don't know. For so long, I've wished and dreamed he would want me back. Now that he does, I don't know what to do about it.

Brenda: Do you still love Jason?

Robin: When did I stop?

Brenda: Then what's the problem?

Robin: My heart wants him but my head won't let me have him.

Brenda: So you don't trust Jason.

Robin: I guess I trust him with everything but my heart.

Brenda: I think I understand.

Robin: Do you think I'm bad for doing this to him?

Brenda: Sweetie, you're not doing anything to Jason. You are being true to yourself. If Jason loves you, he'll understand.

Robin: But you didn't see his face Brenda.

Brenda: I only have to see your face. Listen, I'm not very good with this sort of stuff. But I'm going to honest with you. For a long time now, I've felt that Jason took you for granted. Him working for Sonny, the Carly thing, then lying about Michael. He always seemed confident that you'd understand why he does what he does. Jason needs to learn that he can't take you for granted and that love doesn't make everything okay.

Robin: I know what you're saying.

Brenda: Because I'm right.

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: Don't worry I'm not right very often. Why don't you and Jason try being friends and just let the rest work itself out?

Robin: But he's such a distraction.

Brenda: (laughs) I never said it was going to be easy.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny: When is your next appointment with Dr. Meadows?

Carly: Why?

Sonny: Well because I want to go with you.

Carly: Not for another couple of weeks.

Sonny: Will you remind me if I forget? I know Michael's custody hanging over our head but I still want us to experience this together.

Carly: Did you call Social Services?

Sonny: Yes. It's set for Sunday at 1:00.

Carly: For how long?

Sonny: Just 3 hours.

Carly: That's 3 hours too long.

Sonny: I don't think we should fight them on this. We need to save it for when we go to trial.

Carly: Trial?

Sonny: Unless we agree to joint custody.

Carly: NO! I won't share Michael with AJ.

Sonny: I don't either. But we have to be smart about this. AJ is doing everything by the book which means we have to also. I don't want to give Alexis any ammunition against us.

Carly: I can't believe she's involved in this. She has her own child.

Sonny: What does that have to do with Michael?

Carly: Doesn't she have her hands full with the baby without having to help AJ take Michael away from us?

Sonny: Don't go getting all upset. It's not good for you or the baby (Sonny rubs Carly's tummy) Were you this slim when you were pregnant with Michael?

Carly: What?

Sonny: I thought you would be showing by now.

Carly: (defensive) I'm only 4 months along.

Sonny: Well maybe you should talk to Dr. Meadows about additional nutrition.

Carly: What is that suppose to mean? You don't think I'm taking good enough care of your baby?

Sonny: Before you get all mad, that was not what I was implying. I just want you to have a healthy pregnancy.

Johnny: (opens the door) Commissioner and detective Scorpio are here to see you.

Carly: (agitated) What do they want?

Sonny: Ask them to come in Johnny (Anna and Mac walk in) what can we do for you?

Anna: We have some questions for your wife.

Sonny: Carly? What is this about?

Mac: Carly, we can question you here or down at the station. Which do you prefer?

Carly: (ghastly white. She looks between Mac and Anna) What is this about?

Mac: I'll duly note that you are cooperating with the investigation.

Sonny: Investigation? Is Carly being charged with something?

Anna: Like I said before, we need to ask her some questions.

Sonny: You can ask but it doesn't mean she'll answer.

Anna: Could you tell us where you were on March 9 at 6:30pm?

Sonny: That's the day of Robin's accident. Why are you asking Carly?

Mac: Please let Carly answer.

Carly: (a little skittish) I don't know exactly.

Anna: Were you with anyone?

Carly: I don't know.

Anna: You don't know or you don't remember.

Sonny: What is all this about?

Anna: (mad that Sonny keeps interrupting) Mr. Corinthos, we said we had questions for your wife. Could please let her answer them?

Sonny: She did.

Anna: No she didn't. Now Mrs. Corinthos do you remember if you were with anyone on March 9 at 6:30pm?

Carly: (she looks at Sonny) I don't remember.

Anna: Do you drive yourself?

Sonny: (interrupts again) She has a bodyguard who drives her.

Mac: (notices Anna getting agitated with Sonny's interruption) Please let Carly answer.

Carly: Carlos usually drives me around.

Anna: Usually? When does he not?

Carly: I don't know.

Anna: Did he drive you around on March 9?

Carly: He might have.

Anna: Is it possible for us to speak to Carlos now, Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: I'll ask Johnny to have him come up.

Anna: Thank you for cooperation. We'll wait for Carlos outside (Mac and Anna go to wait for Carlos by the elevator.)

Sonny: What was that all about?

Carly: I don't know.

Sonny: Don't lie to me. Why would they want to ask you about Robin's accident?

Carly: I don't know.

Sonny: I can't help you if you don't tell me.

Carly: There's nothing to tell.

Sonny: I hope you're right.

Outside the penthouse...

Mac: That went well.

Anna: As expected, I thought.

Carlos: Commissioner. Johnny said you wanted to speak to me.

Mac: Yes, we did.

Anna: Did you drive Mrs. Corinthos around on March 9?

Carlos: (thinks for a moment) Not that I remember.

Anna: Do you remember if she called you wanting to drive her anywhere?

Carlos: No. Is something wrong?

Mac: No. We just needed some clarifications.

Anna: What car do you usually drive Mrs. Corinthos in?

Carlos: The limo, of course.

Anna: (looks at Mac and nods slightly) Well thank you for your time Carlos (Mac and Anna takes the elevator to leave.)

Sonny: Carlos, could you come in here?

Carlos: (looks at Johnny but Johnny just shrug his shoulder) Coming Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: What did the commissioner want to know?

Carlos: If I drove Mrs. Corinthos around on March 9, if she called wanting me to drive her around, and what car I usually drive her around in.

Sonny: Is that it?

Carlos: Yes.

Sonny: Ok. You can go (Carlos leaves. Sonny picks up the phone) Can you drop by later?

Setting: Mac's house

Robin: (opens the door. It's a deliveryman with huge bouquet of yellow flowers) Hi.

Delivery guy: Robin Scorpio?

Robin: That's me.

Delivery guy: These are for you. Please sign here.

Robin: (sign the paper) Hold on a second (Robin reaches for a purse for some money) Thank you.

Delivery guy: Thank you. Have a nice day.

Robin: (Carries the flowers inside) I wonder who these are from (Robin looks at the flowers and can't seem to figure out what kind of flowers they are. She looks for a card and finds one) Speedy recovery (Robin frantically puts the flowers down.)

Setting: PCPD

Mac: Do you think Carly was lying?

Anna: She's hiding something. She seemed agitated.

Mac: Sonny didn't like the questions.

Anna: That confirms that she's hiding something. Do you have the report for Robin's car?

Mac: Right here (hands Anna the folder) what are you thinking?

Anna: Robin said that she remembers bright headlights.

Mac: Yes.

Anna: Well, I was thinking the driver was probably driving a SUV or something of that sort.

Mac: That's possible. I believe Sonny owns a couple of Suburban.

Anna: We should ask them to reanalyze the rear bumper again. There's got to be some residual paint.

Mac: You would think so after that kind of the impact.

Anna: Did you have any luck with the videotapes from the hospital?

Mac: Taggert is still viewing them. You can't imagine how many tapes there are.

Anna: The storm was rough that day. They probably had more foot traffic than normal.

Mac: (phone rings) Scorpio.

Robin: Uncle Mac?

Mac: Robin?

Robin: Could you come home?

Mac: Robin, what's wrong? (Anna approaches the desk)

Robin: Some flowers were delivered with no name.

Mac: Don't open the door or answer the phone. We'll be right home (he hangs up the phone.)

Anna: What happened?

Mac: Robin got some flowers with no name (They both rushed out of the office)

Setting: Kelly's

Jason walks in and goes to the counter. Courtney comes out from the kitchen and sees Jason.

Courtney: (smiles) Hi Jason.

Jason: Courtney. Could I get a turkey sandwich?

Courtney: Sure. Have a seat.

Jason: (Jason takes a seat at the counter) Slow day?

Courtney: Yeah. So how are you doing?

Jason: Keeping busy with the warehouse.

Courtney: How's that coming along?

Jason: We're opening in a few days.

Courtney: You must be excited.

Jason: I am.

Courtney: I guess you heard about Michael.

Jason: Yes.

Courtney: Are you mad at me?

Jason: Why would I be?

Courtney: I know how important Michael is to you. Besides you're close friends with Sonny and Carly.

Jason: I want what's best for Michael.

Courtney: AJ wouldn't hurt Michael.

Jason: I hope not.

Courtney: I wouldn't be helping AJ if I didn't think he was a good father.

Jason: You don't need to explain yourself to me.

Courtney: I know I don't. I want to.

Jason: Why?

Courtney: I guess because we're friends. I trust you. I hope you feel the same about me.

Jason: If it's friendship that's you want then I'm your friend.

Courtney: It is. Have you seen Robin?

Jason: (looks at Courtney for a moment) Why?

Courtney: I haven't seen her since what happened with Carly.

Jason: What did happen?

Courtney: Carly said some really cruel things.

Jason: Like what?

Courtney: She said that just because Robin couldn't have children, Robin shouldn't take hers. Carly said that she was going to make Robin pay.

Jason: Are you sure?

Courtney: Yes. Liz was here with me.

Jason: (starts to get up. Jason looked angry) I have to go.

Courtney: Did I say something wrong?

Jason: No (he leaves)

Settings: Mac's house

Mac and Anna rushed inside the house to find Robin sitting on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her. Robin was looking intently at the flowers on the table.

Mac: Robin, are you alright?

Robin: Yes.

Anna: Honey, what happened?

Robin: (she looks at Mac and Anna) I answered the door to the delivery guy. He gave me the flowers and left. When I went to look for card, I found this (she hands Anna the card)

Anna: Speedy recovery?

Mac: Did the phone ring after the flowers were delivered?

Robin: (quietly) No.

Mac: Let me put that card in a bag. I'll drop it at the lab tomorrow morning.

Anna: Robin?

Robin: (had a glazed look on her face) Yes?

Anna: Did anything else happen?

Robin: No.

Mac: (looks at Anna worried) Robin, do you know who might have sent these flowers?

Robin: No.

Anna: Does the flowers have any significant meaning?

Robin: When they were delivered, I couldn't figure out what kind of flowers they were. But after I read the card, the name came to me. They're zempasuctil.

Anna: What does that mean?

Robin: Yellow marigold is use in Mexico for the day of the dead. It's the flower of death.

Anna: (looks at Mac quickly. Anna puts her arms around Robin) Robin, these are just flowers. Don't read anything else into them.

Robin: This person must really want me dead.

Mac: (adamant) No one is going to hurt you.

Anna: Mac's right Darling. You're safe here with us.

Setting: Sonny's apartment.

Jason: (walking through the door) What's going on?

Sonny: I was hoping you could tell me.

Jason: About what?

Sonny: Robin's accident?

Jason: What about it?

Sonny: Anna and Mac came by asking Carly about Robin's accident?

Jason: Carly? Why?

Sonny: I was hoping you could tell me.

Jason: I don't know anything.

Sonny: You've been spending time with Robin. Did she say anything about Carly?

Jason: Why would Robin talk about Carly?

Sonny: I don't know. I'm trying to find some answers.

Jason: Did you ask Carly?

Sonny: I did.

Jason: Sonny, Carly was in Robin's room yesterday.

Sonny: What?

Jason: That's not all. According to Courtney, Carly has been making threats to Robin.

Sonny: You can't think Carly would hurt Robin.

Jason: Carly hates Robin. Now, with Michael's custody in question, she has even more reasons.

Sonny: Carly wouldn't hurt Robin. She knows how important Robin is to me. Do you think Carly would hurt Robin?

Jason: I don't know.

Sonny: I don't like this one bit. I won't let Carly take the fall for Robin's accident.

Jason: What do you mean?

Sonny: Mac and Anna pretty much implied that Carly was responsible for Robin's accident.

Jason: What are you going to do?

Sonny: I need to talk to Robin.

Jason: What? Why?

Sonny: Why are you questioning me?

Jason: I don't want Robin hurt.

Sonny: You think I would hurt Robin?

Jason: Seeing you hurts her, Sonny. You're married to Carly. She doesn't trust you anymore.

Sonny: What would you have me do?

Jason: Let me handle it. Just keep Carly calm and away from Robin.

Sonny: Easier said than done. Ok. How's the warehouse coming along?

Jason: It's finish. We'll be open in a few days.

Sonny: That's great. We should start scheduling shipments.

Jason: I wanted to talk to you about that.

Sonny: What's wrong?

Jason: Nothing.

Sonny: Then what?

Jason: I want to keep the warehouse separated from the rest of the business for a while.

Sonny: It has its own book.

Jason: The warehouse received some press during construction. One of the local newspapers would like to run an article on the design and layout to warehouse.

Sonny: We're always looking for good press.

Jason: They won't run the article if the warehouse has any ties with you or the organization.

Sonny: You want the article. Why?

Jason: I designed and built the warehouse. I'm thinking I want to continue doing that.

Sonny: Construction?

Jason: Construction and architect.

Sonny: And the business?

Jason: I don't assume the warehouse is mine. But I might need it as a reference point for future projects.

Sonny: Do you know what construction and architect entail?

Jason: Yes. I had to deal with most of it during the construction of the warehouse.

Sonny: What do you see us doing with the warehouse then?

Jason: It needs to be a legitimate business. I was thinking that's where we can do the final packaging of the coffee beans. I've built an area where we can display the items for sale.

Sonny: (not quite believing what he's hearing) You want to sell coffee?

Jason: Not permanently.

Sonny: Then how long?

Jason: Long enough for the article to run and for me to get my construction license.

Sonny: Construction license?

Jason: You don't think I can do it?

Sonny: No, I know you can. I'm wondering where all this is coming from.

Jason: Well, the business has been doing pretty good. I like working with the guys on the warehouse. It's a challenge.

Sonny: I won't stop you but did you decide what you will do once you get your construction license?

Jason: You mean the business? I won't abandon you Sonny. I know how much you gave me.

Sonny: I know you won't. But if you feel the pressure to be clean now, it'll be worse when you start bidding for projects.

Jason: I'm taking it one step at a time.

Sonny: Does Robin know anything about this?

Jason: No.

Sonny: You can keep the warehouse as it is right now. But if this thing starts to interfere with the business, then we'll need to talk.

Jason: That's fine. Thanks Sonny.

Sonny: No problem buddy.

Setting: Mac's house later that night

Mac: (sees Anna coming down the steps) How is she?

Anna: She's still shaken up.

Mac: I've asked Taggert to track down the flower shop. Maybe they can give us a clue as who sent the flowers.

Anna: Do you think Sonny is responsible for this?

Mac: Because we were questioning Carly?

Anna: Yes. He seems like a person who would stop at nothing.

Mac: I just don't believe that Sonny would do this to Robin. They've been through a lot together.

Anna: That was before he was married to Carly.

Mac: Yes. I can't believe Sonny doesn't see her for what she is.

Anna: They say love is blind.

Mac: I should give Jason a call. He might be able to help track down who sent the flowers.

Anna: Ok. I'm going to bed.

Mac: Anna, don't worry. We won't let anything happen to Robin.

Anna: I'm hoping for that. Goodnight.

Mac: Goodnight (he watches Anna walk off. Mac begins to dial the phone when the doorbell rings. Mac goes to open the door) Jason, I was about the call you.

Jason: What's wrong? (He walks in)

Mac: Robin got some flowers today with no name.

Jason: (sees the flower on the table) Are those it?

Mac: Yes. The card said "speedy recovery".

Jason: There's some meaning behind that?

Mac: Robin said that Mexico uses yellow marigold for the day of the dead.

Jason: The flowers are a warning of some sort.

Mac: I think so. I have Taggert checking out the local flower shops.

Jason: I wonder if these flowers are common in this area. I'll dig around to see where the flowers are available.

Mac: That's a good start.

Jason: How's Robin?

Mac: She's a little shaken up.

Jason: Is she upstairs?

Mac: Anna finally persuaded her to go to sleep.

Jason: Can I see her?

Mac: (looks at Jason) Don't wake her if she's sleeping. Are you available tomorrow?

Jason: Yes.

Mac: Anna and I have to be in court most of the morning. I don't want Robin here by herself.

Jason: I'll be here.

Mac: Thanks Jason. Go on up.

Jason goes up the stairs to Robin's room. He knocks lightly and walks in. Robin is sitting on her bed flipping through some magazine.

Jason: (softly) Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?

Robin: (with a slight smile) I tried.

Jason: (approaches the bed. He takes a seat on the bed facing Robin.) Are you alright?

Robin: You know about the flowers.

Jason: Mac told me (Robin lapse into silence.) What are you thinking?

Robin: (trying to hold back tears) I don't want to die. I just found my mom again. Mac is happy. Brenda is alive. I'm a doctor (Jason is angry hearing that Robin is scared.)

Jason: (reaches for Robin's hand) I'm not going to let you die.

Robin: (smiles) I don't think it's up to you.

Jason: I won't let it happen.

Robin: (softly) I'm scared Jason.

Jason: (his heart aches hearing Robin say this) I know you are. But you don't have to be. We're all here for you. None of us will let anything happen to you.

Robin: I feel like such a coward for being scare.

Jason: You're not a coward.

Robin: I've been sitting here thinking who would want me dead. I can't come up with anyone. There people who hate me but I don't think they would want to kill me.

Jason: Who hates you?

Robin: I shouldn't say anything.

Jason: You can tell me anything. You know that.

Robin: Sonny, Bobbie, Carly.

Jason: Sonny does not hate you.

Robin: He's married to Carly and she hates me.

Jason: Why don't you concentrate on getting better and let Mac, Anna and I work on who's trying to hurt you?

Robin: You're helping Mom and Uncle Mac?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: Uncle Mac must be really worried to ask you for help.

Jason: Why don't you try to go to sleep?

Robin: Will you stay?

Jason: (He tugs Robin in) Yes.

Robin: Tell me more about your trips.

Jason: How are you going to sleep with me talking? (Robin gives Jason a little look. Jason gives in and settles himself next to Robin on the bed. Jason leans back against the headboard and starts talking) Well, I've already told you about Florence. I also traveled up and down the coast of Italy using the train. The shoreline is beautiful. The water is clear and crisp. It reminded me Montauk a lot. The people are really nice. They mostly spoke Italian to me. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I did a lot of nodding and pointing. The food is great. They spend so much time cooking their meals and eating. A local introduced me to this dessert called Canoli. It's this pastry with a crispy outside shell and inside is this cream that just melts in your mouth. Did you have it when you were there? (Jason looks down at and sees Robin sleeping. He lightly caresses her face and gets off the bed) I won't let anything happen to you Robin (Jason turns off the light and heads out of Robin's room. He makes his way down the stairs.)

Mac: Is she asleep?

Jason: Yes.

Mac: Did she say anything?

Jason: Only that that she's scared.

Mac: (mad hearing this) Damn!

Jason: (looks at Mac and understands Mac's anger) I assured her that nothing will happen to her.

Mac: Did she believe you?

Jason: I think so. I better go.

Mac: I'll see tomorrow.

Jason: Bye

Mac: (watches Jason leaves. Mac goes to the phone and dials a number) It's Mac. I need your help. It's about Robin.

Luke: What about Robin?

Mac: Someone is trying to kill her and Anna and I have no leads.

Luke: The accident?

Mac: Wasn't an accident.

Luke: What else?

Mac: Robin was mugged a month or so before. She received yellow marigold flowers today with a card that said "speedy recovery" with no name.

Luke: The flower of death.

Mac: That's what Robin said.

Luke: Whoever didn't expect Robin to survive the accident.

Mac: My thinking also.

Luke: Anything else?

Mac: Anna and I questioned Carly earlier today. The flowers were sent after.

Luke: You don't think Sonny is involved.

Mac: I'm hoping for Robin's sake that he's not. If I find out that he is, his mob ties won't be able to help him.

Luke: That might be the only reason I think he's not involve. But I'll check it out. Why did you question my dimwit niece?

Mac: She's made several threats to Robin lately. Plus Robin is helping AJ with Michael's custody.

Luke: I understand. How's Robin?

Mac: She's a little shaken up about the flowers.

Luke: Understandable. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Mac: Thanks Luke.

Luke: No problem.

Man: (talking into the phone) Were the flowers delivered?

Voice: Yes.

Man: Did you see Ms. Scorpio?

Voice: Yes. She even gave me a tip.

Man: Tip? She is her mother's daughter, always polite and considerate.

Voice: Is there anything else?

Man: No. I expect that you won't remember this conversation.

Voice: What conversation?

Man: Smart (hangs up the phone) You can't keep cheating death Robin Scorpio...

Setting: Alexis's apartment next day

Alexis: (holding the baby and opens the door) Carly.

Carly: (Carly taping her foot but she's taken back when she sees Alexis holding the baby) It's not a social call.

Alexis: I have to put Kristina down.

Carly: (looks longingly at the baby) I'll wait.

Alexis: (comes back a few minutes later) What can I do for you Carly?

Carly: You can tell AJ to back off the custody case.

Alexis: Not going to happen.

Carly: I can't believe that you're still mad at Sonny that you want to take his son away.

Alexis: You mean AJ's son.

Carly: Michael only knows Sonny as his father.

Alexis: And whose fault is that?

Carly: What?

Alexis: You know damn well that Michael's is AJ's son. For the last 5 years, you've kept him away from AJ. Why?

Carly: AJ is unfit to be a father?

Alexis: Some would say you're unfit to be a mother.

Carly: How dare you imply I'm not a good mother? There's not a single thing I wouldn't do for Michael.

Alexis: What I want to know is why you hate AJ so much. He can't be that bad. You slept with him and you did marry him. What happened?

Carly: It's none of your business.

Alexis: Then we don't have anything to discuss.

Carly: Why are you doing this? You have your child. Why do you want to take Sonny's away?

Alexis: AJ has a right to know his son. This has nothing to do with Sonny and me. Besides, you're pregnant. Sonny will be a dad in no time.

Carly: My baby can't replace Michael in Sonny's heart.

Alexis: You mean yours and Sonny's baby.

Carly: That's what I meant. Look AJ listens to you. Ask him to back off.

Alexis: I can't do that.

Carly: (gets mad) Damn you! Why didn't you die in that warehouse with your sister?

Ned: Carly! (Carly turns and sees Ned at the door) How dare you talk to my wife like that?

Carly: (still mad) How does it feel to sleep with Sonny's discard?

Ned: Shut up Carly!

Carly: You are more stupid than I thought. Have you considered what would happen to you if Michael becomes a Quartermaine? You and your precious daughter will be left with nothing.

Alexis: Kristina doesn't need the Quartermaine's money.

Carly: You say that now. If AJ gets custody of Michael, I will make sure you are left with nothing.

Ned: Are you finished?

Carly: (gives them both a dirty look) You are going to regret this! (She stomps out)

Alexis: I'm glad I put Kristina down.

Ned: Are you ok?

Alexis: I'm fine. She is something.

Ned: Makes me glad that AJ found Courtney.

Alexis: You're okay with Courtney being Sonny's sister?

Ned: She doesn't seem to condone Sonny's business. You know it doesn't really matter as long she makes AJ happy.

Alexis: I agree. Hopefully if the visitation goes well tomorrow, we can proceed to trial.

Ned: You think AJ has a chance?

Alexis: I do. He's married, he has a respectable job, he's somber. If social services see that he can handle Michael, I don't foresee any problems of him gaining at least joint custody.

Ned: You're pursuing joint custody?

Alexis: Michael needs Carly. We'll start with joint custody. If they play dirty, we'll pursue full custody. But I want to avoid that. It could get dirty.

Ned: Meaning Sonny?

Alexis: Yes, Sonny's activities and Carly's past would seal the case.

Setting: Mac's house

Brenda: What are you doing here?

Jason: To see Robin.

Brenda: Is it a little early?

Jason: Mac didn't want Robin to be alone.

Brenda: Why? What happened?

Jason: She got some flowers with no name. She's a little scare.

Brenda: I didn't know.

Jason: What are you doing here?

Brenda: I'm picking Robin for her photo shoot with Lucky.

Jason: Photo shoot?

Brenda: Long story.

Jason: Did Mac and Anna know about this?

Brenda: Robin said she was going to mention it.

Jason: She probably forgot to.

Brenda: I'll tell what, let me take Robin now and I'll call you when we're done.

Jason: Ok. Don't let her out of your sight.

Brenda: Yes Sir! (Brenda mockingly salutes Jason)

Jason: Bye (Jason walks off)

Brenda: Bye to you too.

Robin: (opens to door) Who are you talking to?

Brenda: Why did you open the door without looking to see who it was?

Robin: Ugh! (Robin walks back inside followed by Brenda) You guys are going to drive me crazy.

Brenda: You love us anyway. You ready to go?

Robin: I don't know Brenda.

Brenda: You can't back out now. Lucky will be so disappointed.

Robin: Let's go then before I really chicken out.

Setting: Luke's club

Jason: Hi Luke (walking through the door)

Luke: Jason. Long time no see.

Jason: I need your help.

Luke: What's going on?

Jason: I need to find out where one can buy yellow marigold at this time of the year.

Luke: Robin.

Jason: How did you know?

Luke: Mac called last night. I've been digging on the Internet. These flowers are pretty easy to grow in warm climate. Most flower shops usually carry them. But they are hard to find in this area now because it's still too cold for the flowers to bloom.

Jason: So none of the local flower shops have them now.

Luke: I've already checked Port Charles and the surrounding cities.

Jason: Damn, more dead ends.

Luke: Jason, I hate to ask this. But do you think Sonny is involved?

Jason: Sonny?

Luke: It's easy enough for him to get these flowers. He would know what they represent.

Jason: I don't know.

Luke: I can check around and you don't have to be involved.

Jason: Robin trusts me to be honest her about this.

Luke: We don't know anything. If I find anything, you can tell her.

Jason: I found out that Carly has been making threats toward Robin. Sonny doesn't think Carly is serious.

Luke: Do you?

Jason: Carly is impulsive. She does things without thinking about them first.

Luke: You think she's capable of hurting Robin?

Jason: No. But she can make Robin's life hell.

Luke: Are you thinking Carly might be messing with Robin's head?

Jason: Yes.

Luke: My dimwitt niece is keeping herself pretty busy these days, the pregnancy, Michael, Sonny, and now Robin. I should give my niece a visit.

Jason: Go easy Luke. We don't want to aggravate her.

Luke: My niece and I have a special relationship. Just leave it to me.

Setting: Deception Photo Studio

Brenda walks in with Robin. Robin doesn't look too thrill to be there. Lucky is at the table working on his camera.

Brenda: Hi Lucky. We're here.

Lucky: Hi (looking at Robin) I promise it won't be too bad.

Robin: Easy for you to say. You're behind the camera not in front.

Lucky: It's really nothing. I'll walk you through it but first let's get you ready.

Brenda: Are the stylists in the back?

Lucky: They've been waiting.

Brenda: Great. I'll take Robin back.

Lucky: Let them pamper you Robin.

Robin: (trying her best to smile) I'll try.

About an hour or so later, Brenda and Lucky were looking over some proofs.

Brenda: I like these shots but maybe with a different background color

Lucky: The lighting wasn't right which caused the color to look faded.

Brenda: When do you want to reschedule?

Lucky: (looking through his calendar) Mid-week?

Brenda: Done

Robin: (walks out from the back) They said I was ready (Brenda and Lucky turn to Robin. They both just look without speaking) Ok, you guys are scaring me.

Brenda: (smiles and goes to Robin) Sweetie, you're gorgeous. I didn't realize you're such a swan.

Lucky: I agree. You look perfect.

Robin: You're not just saying that?

Lucky: Not good for my profession. Ready for some test shots?

Robin: I guess so. What do you want me to do?

Lucky: Why don't you stand there against that backdrop? Relax a little.

Robin: (standing awkwardly) I can do that.

Lucky: (looks through the camera) Good (takes a few shots) Robin just talk to Brenda, describe what the stylist did to your hair, face (Robin starts talking to Brenda. Lucky continues to take shots. Lucky turned on some music to help Robin move and relax) Ok Robin, show me you know how to salsa.

Robin: Salsa?

Lucky: Go ahead move your hips, good, how about your body? (Robin moves with Lucky coaching. Lucky snaps pictures rapidly) Good. Now, show me what to do with the hands (Robin starts to move her hands along down her body) Good. Move to the left a little. (Robin and Lucky continues for a couple of more hours. Robin had a couple of outfit changes. Brenda stood watching Robin. She smiles seeing how Robin was enjoying herself. Robin didn't seem aware that Lucky was taking pictures. Brenda thought she definitely made the right decision.) I think we're done. You were good Robin.

Robin: I don't know. I felt kind of awkward.

Lucky: It's normal. Next time you'll know what to expect.

Brenda: Why don't you go change?

Robin: Ok, I'll be back in a minute (she walks off)

Brenda: What do you think?

Lucky: The camera loves her. Her poses are stiff but we can work on that. But overall, I think she did well.

Brenda: (smiles) I knew it! When can you have the proofs ready?

Lucky: Tomorrow.

Brenda: Great. I have to call Jason (dials Jason's number)

Jason: Morgan.

Brenda: Hey. You can come and get Robin.

Jason: You guys are done?

Brenda: Just finished.

Jason: I'll be there shortly (hangs up)

Brenda: Well, Jason is on his way.

Lucky: Are they back together?

Brenda: No. He's just keeping an eye on her.

Lucky: Why?

Brenda: You can't tell anyone but someone is after Robin.

Lucky: What? Who?

Brenda: We don't know. Mac and Anna are working on it.

Lucky: With Jason?

Brenda: Can you believe it?

Robin: (comes out) Believe what?

Brenda: (covers) That you thought you were plain Jane.

Robin: I am plain.

Lucky: Some of the most famous models usually think they're plain. It's what the camera and other people see that make them who they are.

Robin: When will you have the pictures ready?

Lucky: Tomorrow?

Robin: Will you be honest and tell me if it's bad?

Lucky: I will but I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Robin: (not so sure) We'll see. Ready to go?

Brenda: I have a meeting in 20 minutes. Jason is on his way to pick you up.

Robin: Jason? Why?

Brenda: He wanted to.

Robin: Am I missing something?

Brenda: No. Do you mind if I leave you here with Lucky? I have to go get ready for my meeting.

Robin: No problem. Bye.

Brenda: Bye. I'll call you later.

Robin: Well, I'm glad we have a chance to catch up.

Lucky: We haven't seen very much of each other since you've been back.

Robin: Yeah. So what are you up beside this?

Lucky: Nothing really. This takes up a lot of my time.

Robin: And Liz?

Lucky: (smiles) Great. She's taking some classes at PCU.

Robin: How are things with you 2?

Lucky: I think we are connecting again. We've both grown up a lot since we were first together. It took us a while to learn each other again but I think we're there. We're a lot closer now.

Robin: I'm glad for you, Lucky. You deserve some happiness.

Lucky: Liz makes me happy. I wonder if it took us losing each other to realize how much we want each other.

Robin: Life is weird like that sometimes.

Lucky: How about you? It must be great to have your Mom and to be back in Port Charles again.

Robin: I think seeing my mom again was the happiest day of my life. To this day, I can't describe how I felt. I tried to write it down in my journal but can't seem to find the right words. Being back here is different. A lot of things have changed.

Lucky: That's how I felt when I came back. Everyone moved on without me.

Robin: I guess we're selfish to think that it wouldn't.

Lucky: Are you going to stay here permanently?

Robin: I don't know. I like to finish my residency here but after that is blurry.

Lucky: Well I hope you decide to stay here (At that point, Jason walks in)

Jason: Robin. Lucky.

Lucky: Hi Jason.

Jason: Are you ready to go?

Robin: All ready. Thank you Lucky for everything.

Lucky: Don't thank me. I had fun.

Robin: (she gives Lucky a hug) I did too. Bye.

Jason: Bye Lucky.

Lucky: Bye Jason (he watches Robin and Jason leave)

Robin: Were we supposed to see each other today?

Jason: You don't want to see me?

Robin: It's not that. Brenda made it sound like we were suppose to see each other today.

Jason: I came by earlier but Brenda said you guys were heading out.

Robin: Oh. What did you want to see me about?

Jason: Nothing.

Robin: (a little puzzle) Where are we going?

Jason: Where do you want to go?

Robin: Could we get something to eat?

Jason: Kelly's?

Robin: Ok.

Setting: Outside the warehouse.

Julia is outside of the warehouse looking around.

Sonny: Fancy meeting you here.

Julia: Why is that Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: This place is a little rundown for an uptown girl like you.

Julia: You don't know me Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Are you saying I'm wrong?

Julia: Would your ego be able to handle the deflation?

Sonny: (smile) Ouch! Man, you are finessed with your insults.

Julia: Is there something you wanted?

Sonny: Does this warehouse interest you?

Julia: Why are you asking? Do you own it? (She sees Sonny smiling) I should have known. Goodbye Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: (try to stop Julia from leaving) I don't own it. But I do know the person who does. Why?

Julia: I like design of the building.

Sonny: You need a warehouse built?

Julia: No. But this design can translate into an office building.

Sonny: I wouldn't know.

Julia: The architect made good use of the limited physical space.

Sonny: I can have the architect contact you.

Julia: Why would you do that Mr.Corinthos? It can't be for the goodness of your heart.

Sonny: You really do have a low opinion of me.

Julia: I don't have an opinion of you period.

Sonny: Could have fooled me. But to answer your question, this is the architect's first job and I know he's looking for other.

Julia: Well then I would appreciate you asking the architect to contact me.

Sonny: Are you going to give me your contact info or do I have to investigate that on my own?

Julia: Don't by cute Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Cute? No one has called me that before.

Julia: I'm sure you haven't been called a lot of things.

Sonny: What did I do to you?

Julia: Excuse me?

Sonny: Why are you full of insults for me? Did I do something that warrants this treatment from you?

Julia: (surprise at the question) No you didn't

Sonny: Then where is this coming from?

Julia: I don't know. My defenses seem to be high when you're around.

Sonny: Do I scare you Julia?

Julia: What? No! I don't get intimidated that easily Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: (approaches closer to Julia) Sonny. My name is Sonny. What do I have to do so you will use it?

Julia: (a little flustered with Sonny so close) What does it matter what I call you?

Sonny: It matters Julia (Sonny reach to touch Julia lightly on the cheek. Nearby Carly was walking towards them and sees the interaction. She stops and stares. Carly got angry and hastily walks over. In walking so fast, Carly didn't see a minor hole in dock and her shoe landed in. Carly fell backward and hit her head. She past out.)

Julia: (out the corner of her eye, she saw Carly falling) Oh my God (Julia rushed toward Carly, followed by Sonny)

Sonny: (lays Carly's head on his head, taps her lightly on the cheek) Carly, Carly wake up (No response) Call 911 (Julia starts to call 911 and explain the situation. Sonny was still trying to get Carly to wake up) Carly, come on Carly. It's Sonny (After a couple of minutes. Carly came around)

Carly: Sonny? (Carly rubs the back of her head)

Sonny: Hi. How are you feeling?

Carly: My head hurts a little (she tries to get up)

Sonny: (holds her down) No, don't move. You took a fall. I don't know if anything is broken.

Carly: I'm okay.

Sonny: Let's not take any chances. Where's the ambulance Julia?

Julia: (looking at Carly, who gives her a nasty look) They're on the way.

Sonny: Good. Carly, do you feel any pain anywhere?

Carly: No (The ambulance showed up as Carly was talking)

MT: What happened?

Sonny: Carly fell and hit her head. She was out for a few minutes.

MT: (starts to check Carly out) Ma'am, do you feel discomfort anywhere?

Carly: No.

Staff: (holds a light to Carly's eyes) Please follow the light, Ma'am.

Sonny: She's pregnant. Is the baby ok?

Carly: (remembers about the baby) Baby?

Staff: We can't tell you. We need to take her in to get a complete checkup.

Sonny: Then let's go (Sonny holds Carly's hand as the wheeled her off. Julia watches them go.)

Setting: Kelly's

Jason and Robin walk into Kelly's together. Courtney is at the counter and sees them walking in. She looks a little hurt. Robin and Jason sit at a table.

Jason: Hamburger and fries?

Robin: Yes and chocolate milkshake.

Jason: Milkshake? Sure you can handle all that?

Robin: (laughs) Yes. My appetite is as big as ever.

Jason: You want me to order a piece of chocolate cake too?

Robin: (laughs a little harder) Not yet. If I see the chocolate cake, I might not want to eat the hamburger.

Jason: (smiles at Robin's happiness) We wouldn't want that.

Courtney: (looking at Jason looking at Robin) What can I get you?

Jason: 2 hamburgers, fries, chocolate shake. Oh...Robin wants a piece of chocolate cake after she's finished with her hamburger (trying not to laugh)

Robin: (lightly hit Jason on the hand) You'll make Courtney think I'm a pig.

Jason: (holds on to Robin's hand) She's not a pig, just a big appetite.

Courtney: (watching Jason and Robin play around with each other. She tries to hide her jealousy) I'll be back with your food.

Jason: Did Brenda not feed you?

Robin: She had to head off to a meeting.

Jason: So what was the photo shoot for?

Robin: (tries to hide her embarrassment) Nothing.

Jason: Nothing?

Robin: Yep.

Jason: (looks more closely at Robin) What are you hiding? You're all red.

Robin: (tries to cover her face with her hands) Nothing.

Jason: Robin.

Robin: It's really nothing.

Jason: Why can't you tell me?

Robin: (she looks at Jason for a few seconds) Promise you won't tell anyone?

Jason: Promise.

Robin: Brenda wants me to be the Deception model (Jason was speechless.) You don't think I can do it?

Jason: You took me by surprise.

Robin: It's too far fetched?

Jason: Robin, you're beautiful.

Robin: (blushes even more) You don't have to say that.

Jason: I still say what I mean. Are you going to take the job?

Robin: I don't know. Brenda kind of talked me into the test photo shoot. We'll see how the pictures look.

Jason: Did you like doing it?

Robin: Well, they did my hair and makeup. That was fun. But being in front of the camera was a little scary.

Jason: When will the pictures the ready?

Robin: Tomorrow.

Courtney: (brings them their food) Here you go. Let me know if you need anything else.

Robin: This looks good. Thank you (Courtney goes back to the counter and observes Jason & Robin. Robin and Jason were eating their food when Julia walked in. Robin sees Julia) Julia, hi.

Julia: Hi Robin. How are you feeling?

Robin: I'm fine. Julia, do you know Jason?

Julia: I don't think we've met.

Robin: Julia Barrett, Jason Morgan.

Jason: Nice to meet you, Julia.

Julia: Jason.

Robin: Sit down with us.

Julia: Are you sure? I don't want to interrupt your meal.

Robin: Don't be silly. Sit down. Do you want anything?

Julia: Not really.

Robin: (notices Julia looking worried) Julia, is something wrong?

Julia: No, not with me.

Robin: Then who?

Julia: There was an accident at the dock.

Jason: Accident?

Julia: Carly Corinthos fell and hit her head on the ground.

Jason: Carly was hurt?

Julia: The fall caused her to blackout for few minutes. They were worried about the baby so the ambulance and Sonny took her to the hospital.

Robin: (notices the changed expression on Jason's face) You don't have to stay.

Jason: (looks at Robin) Are you sure?

Robin: Yes.

Jason: I'll come back and get you.

Robin: You don't have to. Just do what you have to do.

Jason: (a little torn) I'll call you (Robin just nods her head. Jason gives Robin another look and then leaves)

Julia: Jason didn't have to leave.

Robin: Yes he did. Carly and Sonny are very important to him.

Julia: What about you?

Robin: (thinks for a moment) I guess I'm just an old acquaintance (trying to deal with her feelings) So, I haven't seen you very much. What have you been up to?

Julia: Nothing much business as usual.

Robin: Brenda tells me you're thinking of opening up a division here.

Julia: Yes. I like to stay here since Brenda is here. Besides living here isn't that bad.

Robin: I know what you mean. I missed Port Charles so much when I was in Paris. The atmosphere and the people here are so nice.

Julia: Yes. It has a sense of a city without the crowd.

Robin: I think so too. Met anybody since you've been here?

Julia: No, not really.

Robin: You don't sound too sure. What's his name?

Julia: What do you mean?

Robin: Julia, in case Brenda didn't tell you. I have this knack for knowing when people are hiding something.

Julia: (laughs a little) It's nothing to fuss over.

Robin: So there is a guy.

Julia: It can't work.

Robin: Why not?

Julia: Have you ever met anyone and wished that both you and that person had no past?

Robin: (smiles) I didn't have to wish. Jason was brain damaged and didn't remember anything.

Julia: Jason? Jason Morgan?

Robin: Yes.

Julia: Brenda told me about you and Jason but she didn't say that he was brain damaged.

Robin: It's a long story. Why do you want to erase the past?

Julia: Not my past. His past.

Robin: Oh, I think I understand. He's involved.

Julia: Yes and he was involved with someone very close to me.

Robin: That is a tough situation. How do you feel about him?

Julia: There's an attraction but I won't pursue it.

Robin: How does he feel?

Julia: I don't know.

Robin: Do you want to know?

Julia: I don't see the point. It can never workout.

Robin: Never is a long time.

Julia: In this case, I don't think it's long enough.

Robin: (a little puzzle) I'm definitely not the person to give you relationship advices. But it sounds like this person interests you. If you decide that you can't be anything else, then at least you'll be able to have some kind of friendship.

Julia: Maybe.

Setting: At the hospital.

Jason: Sonny how's Carly?

Sonny: They're checking her out now.

Jason: What happened?

Sonny: She was walking along the dock and didn't see a hole on the deck. Her shoe got stuck and she fell backward. Her head hit the ground and knocked her out for a few minutes.

Jason: The baby?

Sonny: We don't know yet. How did you find out?

Jason: Julia.

Sonny: Julia?

Jason: I was at Kelly's when she came in.

Mac: (seeing Jason with Sonny) Jason, what are you doing here? Where's Robin?

Jason: Carly had an accident. Robin is at Kelly's.

Mac: You left Robin at Kelly's?

Jason: She's with Julia Barrett.

Mac: (gets mad hearing this) Julia? I thought I could trust you to look after Robin.

Sonny: What's wrong with Robin?

Mac: (gives Sonny a look) What do you care? You discarded Robin remember?

Sonny: Mac, I'm just trying to help.

Mac: Robin doesn't need your kind of help.

Jason: Mac, I'll go back and get Robin.

Mac: Don't bother. I'll have one my people get her, if she's still there (Mac walk off.)

Sonny: What was all that about?

Jason: He's just worried about Robin.

Sonny: Why?

Jason: You have enough on your plate. I better go get Robin. Call me if you need me.

Sonny: Ok (Jason walks off)

Setting: Carly's hospital room

Dr. Meadows: It doesn't look like you have a concussion Mrs. Corinthos. I'll get the papers together so you can leave.

Carly: You're releasing me?

Dr. Meadows: Yes. I don't see any reasons not to. Are you feeling some symptoms?

Carly: No.

Dr. Meadows: Is there something else? (Carly was about to answer when Sonny walks in)

Sonny: How is she Dr. Meadows?

Dr. Meadows: She doesn't have a concussion. You can...

Carly: (interrupting Dr. Meadows) Could I have a few minutes with my husband?

Dr. Meadows: Certainly. I'll go get your papers ready.

Sonny: What papers?

Carly: Sonny, I need to tell you something.

Sonny: (sits on the bed next to Carly) What is it?

Carly: (with tears in her eyes) I lost the baby.

Sonny: (shocked. He just looks at Carly.) From the fall?

Carly: (wiping her tears) Yes.

Sonny: (recovers from his shock) Are you okay?

Carly: Yes, I'm fine (she looks at Sonny who looks like he's angry and sad at the same time) I'm sorry.

Sonny: Why? It's not your fault.

Carly: If I hadn't been so clumsy.

Sonny: No. It wasn't your fault. It wasn't meant to be.

Carly: Are you disappointed?

Sonny: Yes a little. Michael will be disappointed. He was so looking forward to a little sister or brother.

Carly: Are you okay? (She touches Sonny's hands)

Sonny: I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Carly: We can start trying again as soon as I get home.

Sonny: We'll discuss it when you get home.

Carly: (disappointed in Sonny's reaction) Why don't you go on home?

Sonny: Why?

Carly: They gave me something for the fall and it's making me sleepy. No need for you to stay.

Sonny: Ok. Call me if you need anything. I'll be back first thing tomorrow.

Carly: I'll be here.

Sonny: (gives Carly a kiss on the head) Bye. Sleep well. (Carly watches Sonny leaves. She bursts into tears)

Setting: Kelly's

Jason walk inside of Kelly's and doesn't see Robin. He heads to the counter where Liz is.

Jason: Hi Elizabeth.

Liz: Hi Jason. What's going on?

Jason: I'm looking for Robin.

Liz: She left about an hour ago.

Jason: Do you know if she was by herself?

Liz: I think so. We were talking before she left.

Jason: Thanks.

Liz: Is there anything I can do?

Jason: No (he leaves)

Courtney: (comes out from the back) Was that Jason?

Liz: Yes. He was looking for Robin.

Courtney: He was here with her earlier.

Liz: Robin told me.

Courtney: I wonder why he came back.

Liz: He sounds worried about Robin. I hope nothing is wrong.

Courtney: I doubt it. She looked awfully happy earlier with Jason.

Liz: (looks at Courtney) Do you have a problem with Robin?

Courtney: I like Robin. I just don't want her to hurt Jason.

Liz: The only ones who can hurt Jason are Jason and Carly.

Courtney: What do you mean by that?

Liz: Robin would never hurt Jason intentionally. I know Robin.

Courtney: She hurt him in the past.

Liz: You don't know the whole situation Courtney. Don't be so quick to pass judgment on Robin.

Courtney: Are you saying Robin was not at fault?

Liz: All I'm saying is that we don't know the whole story. Only Jason and Robin do. You know I'm surprise that you feel this way toward Robin.

Courtney: Why is that?

Liz: She's risking a lot by helping AJ with Michael. You should be a little more grateful.

Courtney: I am. I'm just worried about Jason.

Liz: More than your husband and his son. Why?

Courtney: Jason is my friend.

Liz: And he's mine but I wouldn't put his feelings above Lucky's.

Courtney: You did once.

Liz: Lucky and I weren't together then. What's going on Courtney? Do you have feelings for Jason?

Courtney: I told you. He's a friend.

Liz: I hope that's all because now that Robin is back in town, Jason won't even look at another person.

Courtney: How do you know that?

Liz: I saw Jason when he was in love with Robin. He had that look that only Robin can bring out. She's all that he cares about.

Courtney: That was then.

Liz: He has that look now.

Courtney: You think Jason is in love with Robin?

Liz: I know Jason is in love with Robin.

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: What do you want?

Jason: Is Robin here?

Mac: No (Mac walks back inside the house. Jason follows)

Jason: Your guy didn't find her at Kelly's

Mac: She was gone by the time he got there.

Jason: Did you try her phone?

Mac: She's not picking up.

Jason: How about Brenda?

Mac: She hasn't seen or heard from Robin since the photo shoot.

Jason: (rubs his back of his neck) I should have never left.

Mac: Why did you? What was so important?

Jason: Carly took a fall at the dock.

Mac: (angry at hearing this) Carly? You left Robin for Carly?

Jason: Robin wanted me to go.

Mac: What did you expect her to say? She knows how important Carly is to you. God, I can't believe you. When are you going to stop abandoning Robin for Carly? Have you not learn anything? (Jason was speechless listening to Mac. Jason was feeling guilty) Damn, I should have never trusted you to look after Robin.

Anna: (walking into the house) I take it we haven't heard from Robin.

Mac: No.

Anna: I think we should split up and look for Robin.

Mac: Why don't you stay here in case Robin comes home?

Anna: I can't stay here.

Mac: Call us if Robin shows up.

Anna: (realizing Mac was right) I want an update every half hour.

Mac: Deal. I'm going to try the docks and GH. Jason, can you try any other place you think Robin could be.

Jason: Yes (They both head out)

Anna: Robin, where are you?

Setting: Cemetery

Robin's been wondering around since she left Kelly's. She didn't want to go home yet. She's hoping the walk will help clear her mind. Robin didn't want to admit to herself how much it bothered her that Jason left to go to Carly. Again. It seems nothing has changed after all. Robin had hoped now that Carly was married to Sonny...Jason wouldn't feel responsible for Carly. Robin can feel the disappointment sinking in.

Robin: (sits down on the ground) Hi Lily. I'm sorry I didn't stop by sooner. Things have been really crazy since I've been back. A lot has happened. I'm doing my residency at GH now. I love it so much even though I have no time for anything else. My mom is alive. Can you believe that? She's beautiful as ever. She and Uncle Mac are kind of getting together. They're both too stubborn to admit how much they love each other. But I think they're getting there. Brenda is happy running Deception. She and Jax are very much in love and happy together. You were right about Jax. He is good for Brenda. He keeps her calm. He wants to protect her but he doesn't oppress her. In my heart, I always believe that you kept Brenda from drowning so she could come back to me. I needed her so much after I left Port Charles. I was so alone Lily. My heart cried out for you, Stone, Jason, and Sonny.

Sonny: (a few feet away from Robin) Robin?

Robin: (turns toward Sonny's voice) Yes.

Sonny: What are you doing here?

Robin: I hadn't been able to visit Lily since I've been back.

Sonny: You've been busy.

Robin: That's no excuse. I heard about Carly. How is she?

Sonny: She's fine.

Robin: And the baby?

Sonny: (shakes his head) We lost the baby.

Robin: (gets up to face Sonny) I'm so sorry.

Sonny: (nods his head. He goes to stand in front of Lily's grave) It wasn't meant to be.

Robin: Are you alright?

Sonny: Yeah, I'm fine.

Robin: What are you doing here?

Sonny: I didn't really know where else to go?

Robin: Why don't you go home?

Sonny: I can't.

Robin: Let me call Jason for you.

Sonny: No, I want to stay here for a few minutes.

Robin: I'll leave you in peace (turns to leave)

Sonny: Don't go.

Robin: You want me to stay?

Sonny: Lily always thought of you as my guardian angel. You always knew how to help me.

Robin: We were very close.

Sonny: What happened to us?

Robin: You know what happened.

Sonny: I killed us like I killed everything else in my life. Maybe it's a good thing the baby...

Robin: (interrupts) No, Sonny don't say it. You are a good father. I saw the happiness on Michael's face when he spoke to you.

Sonny: (he looks at Robin) Jason was looking for you.

Robin: I'm going to go. I'm very sorry about the baby. (Robin walks away)

Sonny: (watches Robin go) I seem to be losing everyone I love, Lily.

Setting: Mac's house later

Mac: (walking in) Anything?

Anna: Nothing.

Mac: Jason didn't call?

Anna: No.

Mac: Where could she be? It's starting to drizzle.

Anna: I asked Taggert to ask patrol to keep an eye out for Robin (the phone rings)

Mac: Scorpio

Robin: Uncle Mac?

Mac: Robin? Are you ok? Where are you?

Robin: Slow down, Uncle Mac. I'm fine. I got sidetrack. I'll be home in half an hour.

Mac: Are you alone?

Robin: Yes. Why?

Mac: We were worried when we couldn't reach you.

Robin: I'm sorry. I didn't realize my phone was on vibrate.

Mac: As long as you're alright.

Robin: Yes, I'm fine. I'll be home shortly.

Mac: Bye.

Anna: She's okay?

Mac: Yes.

Anna: Thank god. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her.

Mac: Me too. Are you hungry?

Anna: I haven't eaten since we found out Robin was missing.

Mac: Why don't you go clean up and I'll make us something to eat?

Anna: You sure?

Mac: Yes. Go on

Setting: The bridge

Robin puts her phone away after talking to Mac. She feels bad for making everyone so worried. Robin looks out at the water.

Robin: With all the bridges in Paris, none could compare to this one.

Jason: Robin?

Robin: (jumped a little) Jason! You scared me.

Jason: I'm sorry. What are you doing here?

Robin: I needed to do some thinking.

Jason: We were worried about you.

Robin: I'm sorry. I lost track of time.

Jason: Have you been here long?

Robin: No.

Jason: Let me take you home. It's starting to rain.

Robin: I told Uncle Mac I'll be home in a little bit. You can go.

Jason: I don't like you being here by yourself.

Robin: I'll be fine. (Jason didn't leave so Robin continues to look out at the water.Robin and Jason lapsed into silence for a couple of minutes) I'm sorry about the baby.

Jason: Baby?

Robin: Sonny told me the baby didn't make it. How's Carly handling it?

Jason: I don't know.

Robin: Didn't you see Carly at the hospital?

Jason: No.

Robin: Didn't you go to the hospital?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: I don't understand. If you were at the hospital, why didn't you see Carly?

Jason: I had to find you.

Robin: I don't need you to be my bodyguard. I can take care of myself.

Jason: I know you can. I'm sorry Robin.

Robin: (she turns to look at Jason) What are you sorry about?

Jason: For leaving.

Robin: (with tears in her eyes) You don't have to apologize. You and I are nothing to each other. Carly is important to you.

Jason: You're important to me.

Robin: (turns away from Jason) I can't do this again.

Jason: Please Robin. I didn't leave for Carly.

Robin: You don't owe me any explanations.

Jason: I know Carly doesn't need me. She has Sonny now.

Robin: Why are you telling me this? I don't want to know anything about you and Carly.

Jason: There is nothing between Carly and me.

Robin: Please stop.

Jason: I thought you would want to hear this.

Robin: (feels herself getting angry at the situation) Why would I want to hear you explain yourself about Carly? It's none of my business.

Jason: It is your business Robin. I love you.

Robin: (angrily) NO! I don't want you to love me. I don't want anything from you (she walks away. Jason catches up to Robin and turns her around.)

Jason: (his heart crumbles seeing tears on Robin's face) I'm so sorry Robin (He tightly embraces Robin) Please don't cry (Robin tries to fight Jason but finally let go of the tears she was holding in all day) Please don't cry Robin.

Robin: (after awhile and a little bit calmer) I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from.

Jason: I hurt you by leaving earlier didn't I?

Robin: (steps back from Jason) The past came flooding back.

Jason: The past?

Robin: Carly would call and you would leave.

Jason: I didn't realize...

Robin: It's my hangup not yours.

Jason: I really didn't leave for Carly. Sonny has been so excited about the baby. I wanted to be there for him.

Robin: I saw Sonny at Lily's grave. He looked really sad. He wouldn't let me call you to come get him.

Jason: He probably needs some time alone. What were you doing at Lily's grave?

Robin: I haven't visited her since I've been back. Plus I didn't have anywhere else to go.

Jason: Robin, I know that I made a lot of mistakes in the past. I'm trying not to make the same ones again. I think the part of my brain that should know better doesn't.

Robin: (smiles a little at Jason) I may have overreacted.

Jason: No you didn't. I meant what I said Robin. I love you and I want you back with me. There's nothing I wouldn't do to make that happen.

Robin: I better get home. Mac's is expecting me.

Jason: Let me take you home.

Robin: (smiles at Jason) Ok.

Jason: (smiles back) Ok. (Jason takes Robin's hand in his and they walked off the bridge together).

Setting: Sonny's penthouse next morning

Johnny opens the door for Carly. The penthouse is dark...the curtains haven't been drawn open. Carly notices a couple of empty glasses scattered around the penthouse. She calls for Sonny but no answer. Carly makes her way up the stairs. She goes to her and Sonny's bedroom. The bed hasn't been slept in. Carly then goes to Michael's room. She sees Michael sleeping in the bed. Carly was about turn around to leave when she saw a shadow in the corner. She walks closer.

Carly: (bending) Sonny? Why are you sitting here in the dark?

Sonny: (disoriented) What?

Carly: (touches Sonny's on the arm) Sonny? It's Carly.

Sonny: What are you doing here?

Carly: I just got home. What are you doing?

Sonny: Watching Michael sleep. He looks so peaceful.

Carly: Let's not wake him up (She helps Sonny get up. Sonny smelled of alcohol. They make their way down to the living room.) Have you been drinking?

Sonny: I had a couple (sits down on the sofa) Why are you home so early?

Carly: I couldn't stand being in that room.

Sonny: Why didn't you call?

Carly: I did.

Sonny: I must have been upstairs. Did Johnny pick you up?

Carly: Carlos did. Why are you drinking Sonny?

Sonny: What? I can't have a few drinks?

Carly: I'm just wondering why.

Sonny: I don't need a reason. I have meetings this morning. Don't forget to drop Michael off with social service at 1:00.

Carly: You're going to be gone that long?

Sonny: I have meetings (he gets up and goes upstairs. Carly watches Sonny leaves. She goes to pour herself a drink but the decanter was empty.)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac and Anna are sitting eating breakfast when Robin enters the kitchen.

Robin: Good morning.

Anna: Morning darling.

Mac: Want some breakfast?

Robin: I'm just going to make me some toasts.

Mac: Sit down. I'll get it.

Robin: Thank you. I'm really sorry about yesterday.

Anna: You don't have to keep apologizing.

Robin: I feel really bad for making you all worry.

Mac: You didn't say much when you got in last night. Is everything ok?

Robin: It is now.

Anna: Where did you go?

Robin: I was just walking around. I stopped by Lilly's grave and then I went to the bridge.

Anna: Is that where Jason found you?

Robin: Yes.

Mac: We don't mean to hover over you Robin. But you have to be careful.

Robin: I will. Besides I go back to work tomorrow. I won't have much time to do anything else.

Anna: Are you looking forward to going back?

Robin: Yes. I'm so restless.

Anna: How about some shopping?

Robin: Today?

Anna: Yes. I don't have anything planned for today.

Robin: I don't either. Want to join us Uncle Mac?

Mac: Shopping? No. Lunch. Yes.

Robin: (smiles) That's a deal. Kelly's ok?

Mac: Call me when you're finish with your shopping.

Anna: I'm going to go get ready (Anna heads out)

Robin: So how are things with you and Mom?

Mac: What do you mean?

Robin: Uncle Mac! You don't have to hide your relationship with Mom. I think it's great that you guys found each other.

Mac: It's not too weird for you?

Robin: Weird? Why?

Mac: You know, your uncle and your mom dating each other.

Robin: (laughs) You're so funny Uncle Mac. I just want both of you to be happy.

Mac: Did your mom say she was happy being with me?

Robin: You don't know? (Laughs and shake her head at the same time) You guys are incredible. You're 2 are the best cops out there and yet you guys can't figure out your feelings for each other. But to answer your question, Mom is happy being with you.

Mac: Your mom has been through a lot. I didn't want to pressure her into anything.

Robin: She's probably thinking what's wrong with you.

Mac: Robin!

Robin: (laughs) What? We're all adults here.

Mac: (groans) Uh, don't remind me.

Robin: Well from one adult to another, Mom is waiting for you to make a move.

(Gives Mac a kiss) I'm going to go get ready. Think about that move that you're going to make.

Mac: (laughs) Oh, get out of here.

Setting: Jason's penthouse

Carly walks into Jason's penthouse without knocking.

Carly: Jason! (Walking to the stairs) Jason, where are you?

Jason: (walking down the stairs) What?

Carly: (notices Jason wearing a nice slack and collar shirt.) Where are you heading of to?

Jason: (looks at Carly) What do you want Carly?

Carly: I guess you heard about the baby?

Jason: Yes. I'm sorry.

Carly: Sonny is not taking it very well. I got home this morning and found him in Michael's room. He had been drinking.

Jason: Where is Sonny now?

Carly: He said he had some meetings.

Jason: I'll find him.

Carly: Will you call me?

Jason: Yes. Shouldn't you be getting ready to take Michael to social services?

Carly: I haven't forgotten.

Jason: Don't cause any problems Carly.

Carly: Yeah, whatever (she leaves, Jason shakes his head)

Setting: The docks

Sonny is sitting on the bench looking out at the water. He didn't really have any meetings to go to. He didn't know where else to go so he ended up at the docks. Julia was walking along the docks when she spots Sonny sitting there. He looked grimed and deep in thoughts. Julia approaches Sonny slowly.

Julia: How's Carly?

Sonny: She's fine.

Julia: That's good. The baby?

Sonny: We lost the baby.

Julia: (sits down next to Sonny) Sonny, I'm so sorry.

Sonny: Thank you.

Julia: Is there anything I can do?

Sonny: No.

Julia: I feel it's my fault that Carly fell.

Sonny: It's not. Carly is always rushing around from here to there. She doesn't always pay attention to her surroundings.

Julia: How's Carly handling this?

Sonny: As well as expected.

Julia: Well, I'm going to go. I am very sorry for your lost.

Sonny: You don't have to leave.

Julia: You want me to stay?

Sonny: If you have nowhere else to be.

Julia: I can stay. You look like you didn't get any sleep.

Sonny: Sleep wouldn't come.

Julia: Do you want me to call anybody for you?

Sonny: Tired of me already?

Julia: Not at all. In case you haven't notice, I'm not very good at this sort of thing. I don't quite know what to say and what not to say.

Sonny: Do your competitions know this?

Julia: You can't tell them.

Sonny: My lips are sealed.

Julia: Was the baby going to be your first child?

Sonny: My first child died with Lily.

Julia: Your first wife?

Sonny: Yes. She was caught in an explosion.

Julia: I'm sorry for bringing up bad memories.

Sonny: You didn't know.

Julia: I've only had to deal with 2 deaths in my life, my mother and Brenda's. I can't say that I dealt with either one of them very well.

Sonny: What did you do?

Julia: I worked until I dropped.

Sonny: Is that your answer for everything?

Julia: I guess so. Plus I enjoy what I do.

Sonny: What about friends and boyfriends?

Julia: I could never seem to bond any woman, not even Brenda until now. As for men, I think I'm a hazard to their egos.

Sonny: Don't I know it; so no serious man in your life?

Julia: None.

Sonny: You're ok with that?

Julia: Why not? I have Brenda and a few close friends I consider my family. I'm not missing anything.

Sonny: What about a family of your own?

Julia: I guess one day when I find the right person to share it with.

Sonny: Yeah, that's important.

Brenda: (walking towards them) Hi you guys.

Julia: Hi Brenda.

Brenda: What's going on?

Julia: I have to get going. I have a conference call with Singapore.

Brenda: Ok. Call me later.

Julia: I will. Bye Sonny.

Sonny: Bye Julia.

Brenda: I haven't seen you in a while. What's been going on?

Sonny: Nothing much.

Brenda: (looking closer at Sonny) Sonny, what's wrong?

Sonny: Wrong?

Brenda: Sonny, don't pretend with me. What happened?

Sonny: Carly took a fall yesterday. We lost the baby.

Brenda: Oh my god Sonny (Brenda hugs Sonny) I'm so sorry.

Sonny: (pulls back) It wasn't meant to be.

Brenda: How's Carly doing?

Sonny: Fine. She's at home.

Brenda: Is there anything I can do?

Sonny: No.

Brenda: Sonny, you guys can try again.

Sonny: I don't know (he gets up) I have to go.

Brenda: Ok...bye (She watches Sonny leaves, her heart goes out for him)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: (opens the door) Jason.

Jason: Mac.

Mac: Come on in (Jason follows Mac inside) Look, I wanted to apologize for jumping down your throat yesterday.

Jason: It's okay.

Mac: Thanks for saying that. I just want us to be one step ahead of whoever is responsible for this.

Jason: I understand.

Mac: Are you here to see Robin?

Jason: Yes.

Mac: Anna and Robin are out shopping. I'm going to meet them at Kelly's for lunch later.

Jason: (a little disappointed) I better go.

Mac: You want me to tell Robin anything?

Jason: No, nothing (Jason leaves)

Setting: Kelly's

Anna and Robin walk in carrying a lot of shopping bags and laughing. They take seat a table. Liz comes over.

Liz: Looks like you were doing some power shopping.

Robin: (laughs) Did all the bags give it away?

Liz: I think so. What can I get you?

Robin: Should we wait for Uncle Mac?

Anna: Why don't we go ahead and order. I'll have turkey club and a black coffee.

Robin: I'm going to have a small bowl of chili, BLT sandwich and a chocolate shake.

Liz: (Liz and Anna exchanges glances, smiling) I'll be back in a minute.

Robin: I ordered too much food, didn't I?

Anna: You have been in the hospital.

Robin: I tell you my appetite gets bigger as I get older.

Anna: You take after your dad in that department.

At the counter Courtney watches Anna and Robin talking and laughing with each other. Liz comes to counter.

Liz: Courtney, is something wrong?

Courtney: No. I was just watching Robin with her mother.

Liz: They look a lot alike, don't they?

Courtney: Yes. They seem so close.

Liz: They were separated from each other for a long time.

Courtney: What happened?

Liz: Everyone thought Anna died with Robin's father when Robin was 14. I don't know very much else.

Courtney: That's young age to lose your parents.

Liz: I'm sure it was rough for Robin. But she did have Mac. I better take these to them (brings food to Anna and Robin) Here you go.

Robin: Thank you. Can you join us for a few minutes?

Liz: (looks around) Sure, it's slow right now.

Anna: Robin tells me that you're taking classes at PCU.

Liz: Just 2, art appreciation and oil painting.

Anna: That sounds interesting.

Liz: It is and it's hard.

Robin: But you'll so appreciate the classes when you start traveling.

Liz: You think so?

Robin: Definitely. You'll be able to visit the Louvre and understand all the beautiful paintings and art. Italy. You'll love Italy. You have a whole new respect for the David when you see it.

Liz: I can't wait to see all those things.

Anna: You don't have to go out of the country to appreciate art. The Metro is only a couple of hours a way.

Liz: I know. I try to make a trip every couple of months.

Carly: (standing over the table) What a sight! The saint, her mother and the wannabe. (Everyone ignores Carly, which made her even madder) Don't you have other place to eat besides at my mother's?

Liz: What do you want Carly?

Carly: I don't think my mother pays you to chitchat.

Liz: Not that it's any of your business; I'm on my break.

Carly: Getting advice from the saint on how to hang on to Jason?

Anna: Is there a reason why you're bothering us aside from the obvious?

Carly: This is my mother's restaurant. I don't want you here.

Anna: That's too bad. If Bobbie wants us to leave, she'll have to tell us.

Carly: My words are just as good as Bobbie's.

Anna: Not in your lifetime. Now, if you don't mind.

Carly: Now I know where she gets her snootiness.

Anna: (get up from the table) Let's get one thing clear whatever your name is today, you're still breathing because I wasn't here before. But make no mistake, you hurt my daughter again and it won't be necessary for your small-time criminal husband to verify your body at the morgue.

Carly: (speechless for a moment) How dare you threaten me?

Anna: It's a fact.

Courtney: (stops Carly from going at Anna) Carly.

Carly: (spats back) What?

Courtney: What are you doing?

Carly: What do you think I'm doing?

Bobbie: (walks through the door) What's going on here?

Anna: Why don't you ask your daughter? (Carly rolls her eyes)

Bobbie: Carly?

Carly: The saint's mother just threatened my life.

Bobbie: (grasped) Anna, how could you?

Anna: As usual Bobbie you are oblivious to the facts when it comes to your daughter.

Bobbie: What is that suppose to mean?

Anna: I won't demean us all with an explanation.

Bobbie: Anna, I think your overreacting

Anna: I don't think so. But I will overreact if you and her ever hurt Robin again.

Bobbie: Isn't this all in the past?

Anna: The past only stays there when it's not being dredged up.

Bobbie: I think we need to be adults about this situation. It doesn't help matter when you make threats Anna.

Anna: It's a matter of opinion as to whether your daughter is an adult. I will protect Robin with everything I have. If you want to take that as a threat, then so be it. Let's go Robin.

Carly: Don't come back.

Bobbie: Carly!

Anna: (gives Bobbie a disgusted look) Thank you Liz. Bye Courtney.

Liz: You're welcome (Anna and Robin head out)

Bobbie: What was all that about?

Liz: Why don't you ask your "adult" daughter? (Liz and Courtney walk away, disgusted)

Bobbie: You want to explain to me what just happened here?

Carly: I don't know why you let them come in here.

Bobbie: Anna and Robert were a big part of Ruby's life.

Carly: Ruby is dead, Bobbie.

Bobbie: What has gotten into you?

Carly: I just had to drop Michael off for his visit with AJ. I lost it when I saw the saint sitting here.

Bobbie: What's happening with Michael has nothing to do with Robin.

Carly: How can you say that? She's the one who told AJ.

Bobbie: Robin only did what you should have done Carly.

Carly: Are you defending her?

Bobbie: No, I'm not. But you can't blame Robin for everything that is wrong in your life.

Carly: This is pathetic. I come to you, my own mother, for comfort. What do I get? Criticism. (Carly stomps out of Kelly's. Bobbie is left with her mouth hanging open).

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: (seeing Anna and Robin walking through the door) I thought we're supposed to meet at Kelly's.

Anna: (with a quick glance at Robin) All that shopping tired me out.

Mac: Did you get anything special?

Anna: I got the necessities. Robin bought some nice stuff.

Mac: It looks like you guys bought out the store.

Robin: I'm going to go lay down for a little bit.

Anna: Ok honey (Robin walked up the stairs)

Mac: What happened?

Anna: Carly.

Mac: What did she do?

Anna: She got into our faces at Kelly's and then Bobbie came along.

Mac: (sits down next to Anna) It's got to be rough for Robin to see Carly, a reminder why she's not with Jason.

Anna: Robin is good at ignoring Carly but it's difficult to ignore some of the ignorant things that come out of that girl's mouth.

Mac: She does tend to talk without thinking.

Anna: I still find it difficult to believe she's Bobbie's daughter.

Mac: Well, I'm sorry your day was ruined.

Anna: The whole day wasn't ruined.

Mac: I'm glad. You both needed it.

Anna: What have you been up to?

Mac: I was following some leads Luke had on the flowers.

Anna: Anything?

Mac: None of the local flower shop that had those flowers made any deliveries. Luke is checking if the flowers were purchased online.

Anna: I hope we find something. Robin can't continue living in fear.

Setting: Kelly's same day.

Jason walks in and looks around. He goes to the counter.

Jason: Liz.

Liz: Hi Jason. You look nice today.

Jason: Thank you.

Liz: What's going on?

Jason: I was looking for Robin.

Liz: She left a little while ago.

Jason: I missed her?

Liz: Thank goodness. It wasn't a pretty scene.

Jason: What happened?

Liz: Do you need to even ask?

Jason: Carly? What did she do?

Liz: She said a few things. Anna defended Robin. Then Bobbie came in. It was a mess.

Jason: How was Robin?

Liz: Quiet. I think she was embarrassed by the situation.

Jason: Thank Liz. Bye.

Liz: Bye.

Setting: Mac's house

Anna: Hi Brenda. Come on in

Brenda: Is Robin around?

Anna: She's upstairs.

Brenda: I don't want to disturb her if she's sleeping.

Anna: She probably could use a friend.

Brenda: Uh oh. What happened? Carly?

Anna: Correct on the first try.

Brenda: Ok. I'll see what I can do (Brenda knocks lightly on Robin's door) Robin?

Robin: (sitting on her bed) Hi.

Brenda: What are you up to?

Robin: Nothing.

Brenda: Anna told me about Carly.

Robin: I try so hard to ignore her but she won't let me. She gets in my face every chance she gets.

Brenda: That's just her way of getting attention.

Robin: My mom is now in the middle of this. She's throwing her friendship with Bobbie away because of me.

Brenda: Sweetie, there's not a single thing Anna wouldn't do for you. When Bobbie turned against you, she turned against Anna also.

Robin: When is this going to end Brenda? How many more people have to get hurt?

Brenda: This is not your doing. You've moved on with your life. Jason has moved on. Even little Michael has moved on. If Carly can't do the same, it's her problem.

Robin: Thank you.

Brenda: For what?

Robin: For trying to make me feel better.

Brenda: What are sisters for?

Robin: What are you up today?

Brenda: Nothing much. I ran into Sonny earlier.

Robin: You heard about the baby?

Brenda: Yeah. Sonny looked bad.

Robin: I saw him last night at Lily's grave.

Brenda: He was at Lily's grave?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: He must take this as another omen that he's not meant to be a father.

Robin: Oh my gosh Brenda! That's why he was at Lily's grave (Robin starts to leave)

Brenda: Where are you going?

Robin: I have to go find Sonny.

Brenda: Are you sure?

Robin: Yes. I'll call you later (Robin rushes out)

Anna: (seeing Brenda coming down the stairs) Where is Robin going?

Brenda: Sonny.

Anna: What? Why?

Brenda: Carly lost the baby. Robin thinks that Sonny is blaming himself for it.

Anna: But she hasn't talk to Sonny.

Brenda: I know. But if anybody can get through Sonny, it's Robin.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Jason: (walking through the door) What is wrong with you?

Carly: (sitting on the couch) What?

Jason: Don't you know when to stop?

Carly: Don't tell me this is about your saint.

Jason: Don't call Robin that.

Carly: Why not? You and everyone else in this forsaken town think she's one.

Jason: Are you jealous of that Carly? Is that what this is about?

Carly: Jealous? Why would I be jealous of that twit?

Jason: Then why can't you stay away from Robin?

Carly: Why? Because of her Michael is at this very moment with AJ. Why? Because of her, my own mother criticize me. Why? Because of her you're turning against me.

Jason: Robin is not the cause of all of your problems.

Carly: Don't you dare defend her to me. All of this is your fault. If you would have just kept (Carly stops herself)

Jason: What Carly? Did I force you to marry AJ? Did I force you to tell AJ that I kidnapped Michael? Did I force you to sleep with Sonny?

Carly: Jase, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things.

Jason: I'm tired of this Carly. I've tried to help you over and over again because you're my friend. But I won't stand for you attacking Robin anymore.

Carly: Jase, I'm sorry. With the miscarriage and this AJ thing...

Jason: (stops her) Don't.

Carly: Jase...

Jason: Just stay away from Robin (Jason leaves)

Carly: Damn!

Setting: Lilly's grave

Robin makes her way to Lilly's grave. On the side, she sees Sonny sitting on one of the benches.

Robin: I thought I find you here.

Sonny: You were looking for me?

Robin: Can I sit down?

Sonny: Sure. So why were you looking for me?

Robin: No particular reasons.

Sonny: You could have lied and said you wanted my company.

Robin: I guess I could.

Sonny: What are you doing here Robin?

Robin: I thought maybe you might want to talk.

Sonny: Talk? About what?

Robin: The baby.

Sonny: I'm fine.

Robin: Is that why you're drinking?

Sonny: I'm celebrating.

Robin: Celebrating what?

Sonny: Another person who was spared from me.

Robin: Sonny, you don't believe that.

Sonny: Why not? It's the truth.

Robin: It was an accident Sonny. It wasn't fate. It wasn't a punishment; just an accident.

Sonny: (wipes his eyes) It's gets harder and harder each time to believe it's an accident.

Robin: You are such a good father. I see that every time I see Michael.

Sonny: Then why?

Robin: I don't know why. But I know you're not to blame. When you have another baby, that baby will be the luckiest baby to have a father like you.

Sonny: (tears streaming down his face) Why do you believe that?

Robin: Because I know how big your heart is. I know you would protect your baby with your life.

Sonny: How can you say this?

Robin: I saw firsthand how you love Sonny. Stone had no blood relation to you and look what you did. You gave him everything you had inside. You loved him with your soul.

Sonny: (wipes his eyes) Stone was easy to love.

Robin: Yes and so will your baby.

Sonny: I don't know if I want to try again.

Robin: You have to. A baby is an extension of yourself that you give to the people that you love. And you have so much to give Sonny.

Sonny: (smiles a little) Thank you sweetheart.

Robin: Your welcome. Can I take you home now?

Sonny: Yeah (Robin helped Sonny up and they leave together)

Setting: Outside Sonny's penthouse

Robin was helping Sonny out of the elevator. Johnny seems them and came over to help.

Johnny: Mr. Corinthos, are you alright?

Sonny: Yeah, just help me inside.

Robin: I'll get the door (They walk in to see Carly sitting on the couch)

Carly: (walking toward Sonny) What happened?

Sonny: Johnny, help me to the couch (Sonny sits on the couch)

Carly: What is she doing here?

Robin: I'm going to go.

Sonny: Thank you Robin

Robin: You're welcome.

Johnny: I'll walk you out (Johnny and Robin leave)

Carly: What were you doing with her?

Sonny: I don't want to get into this now.

Carly: Fine. Where have you been all day?

Sonny: I had things to do.

Carly: Sonny, what's going on?

Sonny: I said I don't want to get into this now.

Carly: Fine! (Carly walks away)

Robin: (waiting in front of the elevator) Thank you Johnny.

Johnny: It's no problem. How have you been? I heard you were in an accident.

Robin: I'm fine now (the elevator opens with Jason inside)

Jason: (smiles) Robin.

Robin: Hi.

Jason: Were you here to see me?

Robin: No. I just took Sonny home.

Jason: (disappointed) Is he alright?

Robin: He just needs some sleep.

Jason: Can we talk for a minute?

Robin: (looks over at Jason's penthouse and hesitate) I can't.

Jason: Robin?

Robin: We'll have to go somewhere else if you want to talk.

Jason: What's wrong with the penthouse?

Robin: (the elevator opens) I better go (she walks into the elevator)

Jason: (walks in also) Robin? What's going on? (The elevator stops and Robin gets out without responding) Robin?

Robin: (stops and turns around) I can't go inside your penthouse.

Jason: Why?

Robin: It brings back too much memory.

Jason: I'm sorry. I didn't think.

Robin: It's alright.

Jason: I guess I just see it as a place to sleep and shower.

Robin: (smiles a little) What did you want to talk about?

Jason: I wanted to see if you were ok. I heard about this afternoon.

Robin: Oh. Truth to be told, it was a little embarrassing.

Jason: I understand. You want to go for a ride?

Robin: Is it a little cold? (Sees Jason raise his eyebrows) I forgot. How about a rain check?

Jason: Ok.

Robin: I better get home before Mac calls for a search party.

Jason: You want me to take you?

Robin: No, I'll be fine. Bye.

Jason: Bye Robin (Jason watches Robin leaves. After a few minutes, Jason follows Robin to Mac's house. Robin sees Jason following on his bike. She smiles.)

Setting: Mac's house, next day

Robin: (opens the door) What are you doing here?

Jason: (smiles at Robin) I came to take you to work.

Robin: I said I didn't need you to.

Jason: No, you said you'd dissuade me later.

Robin: You're a real sneak.

Jason: Are you ready to leave?

Robin: I really don't think this is necessary.

Jason: I'm already here so let's go.

Robin: How am I going to get home?

Jason: I'll pick you up.

Robin: You don't even know my schedule.

Jason: I checked with Amy.

Robin: Ok but just today. I'm a grown person. I am perfectly capable of driving myself.

Jason: We'll talk about it later. You're late.

Robin: Great now you make me late for my first day back to work.

Jason: Let's go (they walk off.)

At the hospital…

Robin: You really don't have to come back to pick me up.

Jason: I'll see you later Robin.

Robin: You're really pushy.

Jason: You shouldn't talk. Have a nice day.

Robin: Bye (she gets out the car reluctantly) Thank you Jason.

Jason: You're welcome.

Setting: Kelly's

Liz is working at the counter when Nicholas walked in. He goes to the counter.

Liz: (Liz noticed Nicholas looking sad) Hi. You look like you lost your best friend.

Nicholas: It's that obvious?

Liz: Gia?

Nicholas: She's moving to the city.

Liz: Why?

Nicholas: She said it's for her career. She needs to be close to her agent and be available for anything that comes up.

Liz: I'm sorry Nicholas. Are you ok?

Nicholas: I don't know. I know that Gia and I have been having problems lately. But the thought of us ending permanently didn't cross my mind.

Liz: What about Emily?

Nicholas: Emily?

Liz: Don't you have feelings for Emily?

Nicholas: Yes.

Liz: Do you not want Emily?

Nicholas: I don't know. I've tried to fight my feelings for Emily because I wanted to try with Gia. Now that Gia is gone, I just don't know.

Liz: Nicholas, have you been playing with Emily's feelings? Because I know she truly has feelings for you. Strong feelings.

Nicholas: I swear I haven't Elizabeth. I care deeply for Emily.

Liz: What are you going to do about it?

Nicholas: I don't know.

Liz: (a little angry) Well then I suggest you stay away from Emily. It's not fair to her.

Nicholas: I wouldn't hurt Emily.

Liz: I know you wouldn't. But if you're not ready to be with Emily, then I don't think you should lead her on.

Nicholas: Are you mad?

Liz: I'm sorry. I don't mean to be. Emily has been through a lot the last couple of years.

Nicholas: I'm sorry too.

Setting: GH's break room

AJ walks in and sees Robin looking over the charts.

AJ: Hi Robin.

Robin: AJ. What are you doing here?

AJ: Looking for you.

Robin: Me. Why?

AJ: I wanted to tell you that Michael and I had a really good time yesterday.

Robin: That's great. What did you do?

AJ: Social service took Michael to meet me at the park and then we went to the zoo.

Robin: How was Michael?

AJ: I think he was scared at first but toward the end, we made some progress.

Robin: When is your next visit?

AJ: We don't know yet. The judge is waiting for a report from social services before he decides the next step.

Robin: Are you optimistic?

AJ: You know what? I am.

Robin: I'm really happy for you AJ.

AJ: I have to get back to work. I only dropped by to give you an update.

Robin: Thank you. I'm glad things are working out for you.

AJ: Me too. Bye Robin.

Robin: Bye AJ (Robin was really happy for AJ. He's finally getting a chance to know his son)

Setting: PCPD

Anna: (walking into Mac's office) Here's the report you needed. It should keep Baldwin busy for a while (hands file to Mac.)

Mac: (skimming through the file) This look good. Thank you.

Anna: No problem (turn to leave)

Mac: Anna?

Anna: Yes?

Mac: (walked around his desk to Anna) I wanted to ask you something.

Anna: What is it?

Mac: I know things have really been crazy lately. So if you say no, I'll understand.

Anna: No to what?

Mac: Dinner, Friday night?

Anna: (smiles a little) Like in a date?

Mac: Yes.

Anna: Sure, I love to.

Mac: (let out a breath) Around 7:00?

Anna: 7:00, it is (Anna leaves. Mac smiles and goes back to his desk)

Felicia: Hi Mac.

Mac: Felicia. This is a surprise.

Felicia: Am I interrupting you?

Mac: Just reading over some reports. What can I do for you?

Felicia: I was wondering if you could watch the girls Friday night.

Mac: I'm sorry Felicia. I already have plans.

Felicia: (surprise) Oh. Ok. That's all right. I'll ask Bobbie.

Mac: Are you sure?

Felicia: Yeah! Don't worry about it. Is it work?

Mac: No. It's personal.

Felicia: Oh. Well, I better go so you can get back to your reports.

Mac: Ok. Bye (Mac goes back to reading and Felicia leaves, a little disappointed)

Setting: GH later that day

Robin is standing at the nurse station looking over patient charts. Robin thought it would be hard coming back to work. But it wasn't at all. Amy was great helping her with the new patients. Robin avoided Bobbie every time Bobbie approached the nurse station.

Alan: How's your first day back?

Robin: (smiles) Hi Alan. Things are great.

Alan: Are you feeling tire or dizzy?

Robin: Not at all.

Alan: I'm glad to hear that. Let me know if you do.

Robin: I will.

Alan: (looks at his watch) I have to meet father.

Robin: You don't sound happy.

Alan: I already know what he wants to talk about.

Robin: What?

Alan: Michael and how to groom him to be the Quartermaine heir.

Robin: Oh.

Alan: Wish me luck.

Robin: Good luck (Robin watches Alan walk off. She goes back to reading her charts)

Brenda: Hey you.

Robin: Hi. What are you doing here?

Brenda: I came to see how you're doing and to give you this (Brenda hands Robin a yellow manila folder) Look.

Robin: (opens the folder and flip through the content. She's surprise by what she sees)I can't believe these are of me.

Brenda: (smiles and nods her head) See? I told you.

Robin: Has anyone else seen these?

Brenda: Lucky and Jax.

Robin: What did they say?

Brenda: They loved them. Robin, you are fantastic. I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner.

Robin: You're bias.

Brenda: No, I'm not. To prove it you, we'll show these pictures to next person who steps up to this counter.

Robin: No, don't. I would be too embarrassed.

Brenda: (smiles when she sees Nicholas heading toward them) Too late. Hi Nicholas.

Nicholas: Hi Brenda, Robin.

Brenda: Nicholas, could I ask you a favor?

Nicholas: Sure.

Brenda: Will you look at these pictures and tell me honestly what you think?

Nicholas: (a little puzzle by the request) Ok (Nicholas sees the first picture and his eyes immediately shot to Robin.) These are of you.

Robin: Yes.

Nicholas: (continues to flip through the pictures) These are nice, very nice.

Brenda: See? What did I say?

Nicholas: What are these for?

Brenda: I'm trying to persuade Robin to be the Deception model.

Nicholas: (looks at Robin and she nods) Looking at these pictures you should consider it.

Robin: I don't know. It's not me.

Brenda: That's the whole point. This is something you've never done before. Think of it as the next challenge you have to conquer.

Robin: But I don't need to conquer it.

Nicholas: It's good exposure.

Robin: I need to seriously think about this.

Brenda: No! You think too much. You have to do this. You had fun doing this so you should continue (Robin looks to Nicholas for help)

Nicholas: You don't have anything to lose.

Robin: That's easy for you to say.

Brenda: Good, then it's agreed. I have to go. Bye (Brenda strolls off)

Robin: You were a big help.

Nicholas: You did look nice in those pictures.

Robin: But I'm a doctor.

Nicholas: Why can't you be both? Besides, have you thought of what kind of exposure to AIDS/HIV awareness?

Robin: No.

Nicholas: You're proving to the world that AIDS/HIV can't stop a person.

Robin: Ok, you have a point.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly came down the stairs and sees Sonny sitting on the couch.

Carly: Hi (sits down next to Sonny)

Sonny: Hi.

Carly: How are you doing?

Sonny: Fine.

Carly: You want to tell me what happened yesterday?

Sonny: I rather not talk about it.

Carly: Sonny, don't you think we should talk about this?

Sonny: What's there to talk about?

Carly: Your feelings.

Sonny: I'm fine.

Carly: Talk to me Sonny.

Sonny: (gets up from the couch) There's nothing to talk about.

Carly: You're upset that I lost the baby, aren't you? You blame me.

Sonny: I don't blame you.

Carly: Then why won't you talk to me.

Sonny: (raises his voice) What do you want me to say? That I'm sad, disappointed, hurt. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Carly: (with tears in her eyes) I'm sorry Sonny.

Sonny: (he goes to Carly and gather her into his arms) I'm sorry too. I don't know how to deal with this.

Carly: Is that why you were drinking?

Sonny: Yes.

Carly: We can start trying again Sonny.

Sonny: I don't know.

Carly: You don't want to?

Sonny: Maybe we should wait a while. There's a lot of stuff going on.

Carly: Are you sure?

Sonny: Yes. How did it go with Michael yesterday?

Carly: Fine, I guess.

Sonny: Did he say anything about AJ?

Carly: He wanted to know when he could see AJ again.

Sonny: What did you say?

Carly: I said I didn't know. What happens now, Sonny?

Sonny: Well social services is suppose to give a report to the judge about AJ. The judge will make a decision base on that report.

Carly: I won't give Michael to AJ.

Sonny: It won't come to that.

Setting: The warehouse

Brenda and Julia make their way inside the warehouse. Brenda is carrying a plant for Jason. The warehouse is beautifully designed with open ceilings, a lot of metal and chrome finishing. The reception area is filled with metal shelves displaying coffee cans. There's a flat panel on a table with top view of the warehouse's production line.

Brenda: Wow, this is great.

Julia: This was very nicely designed. You say Jason Morgan designed this?

Brenda: Yep. Designed and built from what I heard.

Reception: May I help you?

Brenda: We're here to see Jason Morgan.

Reception: Can I have your name?

Brenda: Brenda Barrett.

Reception: Please have a seat.

A few minutes later

Jason: Brenda.

Brenda: Hi Jason (hands Jason the plant) This is for you.

Jason: Thank you.

Brenda: Julia, have you met Jason.

Julia: Yes. Hi Jason.

Jason: Julia.

Brenda: This place is terrific.

Jason: (smiles a little) You approve.

Brenda: Oh, yes. It's a warehouse with class.

Jason: I wanted to be able to conduct business without the feeling of being in a warehouse.

Julia: You did a terrific job. It's very modern.

Jason: Thank you. You want a tour?

Brenda: Yes (Jason lead Brenda and Julia to the back. He showed them how they package the beans and get it ready for shipment. Jason introduced them to a couple of workers.) This is really impressive Jason. You should really be proud of yourself.

Jason: It was a challenge.

Julia: Brenda tells me that this was your first design job.

Jason: Yes.

Julia: How did you come up with the idea for this place?

Jason: I don't know really. All I wanted was a place where we could package the beans and provide a comfortable environment for our customers.

Julia: You think you can take this idea into a larger scale?

Jason: What do you mean?

Julia: Well, I'm thinking of opening up a divisional office here in Port Charles. I found the space. I need someone to do the design.

Jason: Are you asking me?

Julia: If you're interested.

Jason: I'm interested. But you should know that this was my first design. I don't have my license or proper education.

Julia: That's easy to rectify.

Jason: How so?

Julia: I have an architect firm that I usually work with. You can work for them to design the building. They can handle all the paperwork and legalities.

Jason: You would do that?

Julia: I like what you did with this warehouse. I don't see why you can't do the same for me.

Jason: I don't know what to say.

Brenda: (smiling) Say yes.

Jason: Yes. Thank you.

Julia: No need to thank me. Just build me my building. I'll have the architect firm call you with the details. It'll probably be a good idea for you to visit some of our other office buildings. It'll give you an idea of the environment and the people. I'll set that up for you also. Do you have a passport?

Jason: Yes.

Julia: Good. When can you leave?

Jason: Right away.

Julia: I'll have someone get in touch with you regarding your itinerary (Julia's phone rings) Excuse me for a moment. Julia Barrett... (she walks off to the side)

Jason: Did Julia just give me a job?

Brenda: Yes.

Jason: Does she do that often?

Brenda: I don't know.

Jason: I can't believe this.

Brenda: Believe it. Julia doesn't mess around when it comes to business. She's tough.

Jason: Tough as Sonny? Sonny.

Brenda: What are you going to tell him?

Jason: I don't know.

Brenda: You better think of something. Jason, I'm happy that you got this opportunity. But you can't accept the job if you think you can't handle it.

Jason: I can handle the job.

Brenda: What about the organization? Barrett Enterprises can never be link to the organization Jason. Julia will drop you before she let anything hurt the company.

Jason: I have to talk to Sonny.

Brenda: Ok. Jason, don't make Julia regret her decision.

Jason: I won't

Julia: I have a conference call I have to get to. Jason, I'll have someone contact you with all the information.

Jason: Thank you Julia.

Julia: Your welcome. I'll see you later Brenda.

Brenda: Bye.

Jason: Have you eaten?

Brenda: Not yet.

Jason: Want some lunch?

Brenda: Sure.

Jason: Is Kelly's alright? I have to stay nearby.

Brenda: That's fine (They head out)

Setting: Kelly's

Liz: You didn't have class today?

Emily: My class was cancelled.

Liz: You want something to eat?

Emily: No, I've already eaten. You want to go to a movie tonight?

Liz: Can Lucky come?

Emily: Sure. I was planning on inviting Robin also.

Liz: Is something wrong?

Emily: I guess I just feel icky today.

Liz: Anything you want to talk about?

Emily: Not really. Let's just go out tonight and have fun.

Liz: Sounds like a plan.

Brenda and Jason walk in.

Liz: Jason's here.

Emily: (turns and sees Jason and Brenda) Around 7 tonight?

Liz: We'll meet here?

Emily: I'll pick Robin up. Bye (goes over to Jason and Brenda's table) Hi

Jason: Hi Emily.

Brenda: Want to join us?

Emily: No. I just wanted to say hi.

Jason: Is anything wrong?

Emily: Nothing that a night out with my friends can't solve.

Brenda: What are you doing?

Emily: Movie and dinner.

Jason: Have fun.

Emily: Bye.

Brenda: She look kind of down.

Jason: Yeah.

Liz: What can I get you?

Brenda: Cheeseburger with everything, fries, and a coke.

Jason: Same but no onion.

Liz: I'll be back in a minute.

Brenda: When did you decide that you wanted to do construction?

Jason: The warehouse needed rebuilding so I just decided to do it myself.

Brenda: What did Sonny think of the idea?

Jason: He's supportive.

Brenda: And the organization?

Jason: Let's not talk about it.

Brenda: Ok.

Jason: So, how are things with you and Jax?

Brenda: Skye agreed to a divorce so that's not hanging over our heads anymore.

Jason: Wedding soon?

Brenda: I don't think so. We're happy with the way things are. What about you? Any progress with Robin?

Jason: It's hard to say. Sometimes I think I'm making progress then something would happen that make Robin pull back.

Brenda: She's scared Jason.

Jason: With me?

Brenda: Can you blame her?

Jason: What about me? I was also hurt in all of this.

Brenda: I'm not saying that you weren't Jason. But you do realize that a lot of this could have been prevented. You could have prevented it. But you chose not to.

Jason: How did everything get so complicated?

Brenda: I don't know. Just be patient with Robin.

Jason: Do I have a choice?

Brenda: You do. You can get just go on with your life and forget Robin.

Jason: I can't.

Brenda: But you have for the last 4 years.

Jason: I've been living a lie for the last 4 years. I tried to mold Elizabeth into Robin because I wouldn't admit to myself that I missed Robin.

Brenda: Why didn't you try to contact Robin?

Jason: I couldn't. I didn't have the rights.

Brenda: When are you going to realize that you have to fight for what you want?

Jason: So now you think I'm good enough for Robin?

Brenda: I still don't think you're good enough for Robin. But you did make her happy once. And I want Robin to be happy.

Jason: I want that too.

Brenda: Hey, we agreed on something.

Setting: GH later that evening

Amy: Hi Jason. What are you doing here?

Jason: I'm picking Robin up.

Amy: Oh. She's with her last patient right now.

Jason: I'll wait (he goes to waiting area to sit down)

A few minutes later

Robin: Ok Amy. I'm all done (hands Amy the chart)

Amy: How did your first day go?

Robin: Good. I miss this.

Amy: Jason is here (pointing to Jason at the waiting area)

Robin: Oh. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye

Amy: Bye Robin.

Robin: Hi.

Jason: Hi. Am I early?

Robin: You're on time. You really didn't have to come back to pick me up.

Jason: I wanted to. Are you ready to go?

Robin: Yes (they head to the elevator)

Jason: Are you hungry?

Robin: Starving.

Jason: You want to grab something to eat?

Robin: I can't.

Jason: (disappointed) I understand.

Robin: What do you understand?

Jason: That you don't want to have dinner with me.

Robin: It's not that. Emily, Liz, Lucky and I are going to a movie. I have to get home and change.

Jason: Oh.

Robin: You want to come?

Jason: I don't think so.

Robin: You sure?

Jason: Yes (they're silence as they make their way to the car. They both get in the car and didn't say anything.)

Robin: I'm sorry about dinner.

Jason: Don't worry about it. I shouldn't have assumed that you didn't have plans.

Robin: Rain check?

Jason: Don't worry about it (Jason drove in silence to Mac's house. Robin didn't know what was bothering Jason. She didn't want to pry. Jason arrives at Mac's house. He walks Robin to the door.)

Robin: Thank you for driving me today.

Jason: You're welcome.

Robin: (sensing as if Jason was mad at something) You know you don't have to drive me.

Jason: (abruptly) I said I would.

Robin: (mad by Jason's tone) Don't do me any favors. Goodnight (Jason watched Robin walk inside. He knew that Robin was mad. But so was he. He wanted to spend some time with Robin. He wanted to show her the warehouse. Disappointed, Jason leaves.)

Setting: Jason's penthouse

Sonny walks in and sees Jason standing at the window looking out.

Sonny: Hey.

Jason: (turns away from the window) How you doing?

Sonny: Better.

Jason: I'm sorry about the baby.

Sonny: Thank you.

Jason: Are you and Carly going to try again?

Sonny: Not yet. We'll need our effort for Michael's custody case.

Jason: You think you'll have to go to trial.

Sonny: It's better to be prepared.

Jason: Have you considered the possibility you might have to share custody with AJ?

Sonny: It's not going to get to that. No judge in his right mind will grant AJ custody.

Jason: I hope you're right. There's something I wanted to talk to you about.

Sonny: What?

Jason: Julia Barrett offered me a job of designing her office building.

Sonny: That's great man. Are you going to do it?

Jason: I want to.

Sonny: What's stopping you? (Jason doesn't say anything) It's the business, isn't it?

Jason: Yes.

Sonny: Julia made demands?

Jason: No, she didn't. But Brenda did.

Sonny: Brenda?

Jason: She was there when Julia offered me the job.

Sonny: I think I understand. What do you want Jason?

Jason: I want the job. But I don't want to abandon you.

Sonny: What does the job entail?

Jason: Since I don't have my license, Julia is setting me up with an architect firm that she uses. The firm would handle all the paperwork. I just get to design the building.

Sonny: Wow, that's sound like a nice offer.

Jason: It is.

Sonny: Are you asking me to release you?

Jason: I don't have the rights to ask you.

Sonny: Are you sure this is what you want? You can't leave and come back again.

Jason: I know that.

Sonny: Are you doing this for Robin?

Jason: Robin doesn't know anything. I'm very grateful for everything that you've done for me. But I need to make a life for myself Sonny.

Sonny: I can understand that. Let me talk to Benny.

Jason: Thank you Sonny.

Sonny: Don't thank me yet. It might take a couple of months to get you completely out of the business.

Jason: I understand. I'll probably have to move out of here also.

Sonny: It's probably for the best. I'm sure Baldwin is going to be on you for info.

Jason: You have my loyalty Sonny.

Sonny: I never had any doubts.

Setting: GH Friday evening

Robin and Jason haven't seen each other since last Monday. Jason didn't come by to pick Robin up and Robin didn't really think about it. Robin had a heavy load at the hospital the last couple of days. But today was bad. Robin worked nonstop today. It was one thing after another. She was looking forward to going home to a bath. Robin was just making her out of the doors.

Alcazar: Robin.

Robin: (smiles) Hi. You're back.

Alcazar: Did you miss me?

Robin: Do you have to even ask?

Alcazar: I'll take that as a yes. Can I take you home?

Robin: Yes. I'm all finish here (Robin puts the charts away and grabbed her bag from behind the station) Did you have a good trip?

Alcazar: Yes. It was successful.

Robin: Did you bring back anything?

Alcazar: Are you asking in general or specifically for you?

Robin: (laughing) You're bad. Did you bring something back for me?

Alcazar: How about I give it to you over dinner?

Robin: Dinner? I'm a mess.

Alcazar: We'll drop by your place so you can change.

Robin: You don't mind?

Alcazar: Not at all. There's so much I want to tell you.

Robin: I can't wait. I'm glad you're back. I missed you.

Alcazar: (softly) I missed you too, my Robin.

In the background, Jason is standing behind a bush and heard everything that Robin and Luis said to each other. Jason looks hurt and sad.

Setting: Mac's house

Mac is waiting anxiously for Anna to come down. Mac's been feeling nervous all day. He was so looking forward to spending the evening with Anna.

Anna: (walking down the stairs) Ok, I'm ready.

Mac: (stares at Anna, who is wearing a slim black dress that hugs her body provocatively) Wow, you look beautiful.

Anna: (smiles) Thank you.

Mac: Ready?

Anna: Yes. Where are we going?

Mac: It's a surprise.

Anna: You are too much. (Mac leads Anna out)

A few minutes later...

Robin: Mom, Uncle Mac? (no response) I guess they're out. Have a seat.

Alcazar: We have the place to ourselves?

Robin: Seems like it.

Alcazar: We can stay here if you like.

Robin: Are you sure?

Alcazar: I don't mind. Why don't you go and freshen up and I'll be right back.

Robin: Where are you going?

Alcazar: You'll see (he leaves)

Setting: The beach

There's a white little tent among the sand. Teacup candles lead the way to the opening of the tent.

Anna: Mac, what is all of this?

Mac: (helps Anna walking through the sand) You'll see.

Anna: (Anna and Mac walk inside the tent. Anna takes in the interior of the tent. Candles are lit all over. There's soft music playing in the background. It the middle is a small table for 2) Mac, you didn't have to do all of this.

Mac: I wanted to. Do you like it?

Anna: It's beautiful.

Mac: (holds out his hand) May I have this dance?

Anna: Of course (Anna walks into Mac's arms. Mac leads Anna slowly around the floor) I can't believe you did all this. Where did you find the time?

Mac: I have my secrets.

Anna: It's been a long time since I've done this.

Mac: Relaxing and having fun?

Anna: There is that. But more importantly being with someone who makes me feel good.

Mac: I do that for you?

Anna: Yes and more.

Mac: More?

Anna: I feel safe with you Mac. I know you're not keeping anything from me. You're honest with me.

Mac: I haven't always been honest.

Anna: What do you mean?

Mac: (hesitate a little) I've had feelings for you a while now Anna. I didn't want to say anything because I was afraid of pushing you away.

Anna: Is that all that you're hiding from me?

Mac: I love you Anna (they stop dancing and look at each other)

Anna: (smiles at Mac's nervousness) I love you Mac.

Mac: (big smile) You do? (Mac lifts Anna in his arms and kisses her deeply) I didn't dare hope.

Anna: I should have told you earlier. It was just never the right time.

Mac: It doesn't matter as long as you love me.

Anna: I love you Mac (Anna reach for Mac and kiss him passionately)

Setting: Mac's house

Robin: (opens the door) Where did you go?

Alcazar: You'll see (Robin follows Luis into the living room. Luis starts unpack from the bag he was carrying. Chinese Food) May I present dinner.

Robin: (laughs) You think of everything. I haven't had Chinese in so long.

Alcazar: Well, come on. Eat up.

Robin: You don't have to ask twice (Robin and Luis ate and talked about Luis' trip. Robin asked all kinds of questions and Luis answered patiently. Luis tried to teach Robin some of the Thai words he learned. But Robin couldn't say the words without bursting into laughter. Overall they had nice relaxing night. Luis helped Robin cleanup and then left.

Robin was just about to head up when Anna and Mac walked in.) You 2 look nice.

Anna: Hi Darling.

Mac: Have you been home all night?

Robin: Luis and I just finished some Chinese (Robin noticed Mac didn't clinch hearing Luis' name. In fact, he was wearing a smile.) What were you guys up to?

Mac: Dinner and dancing.

Robin: That sounds nice. (She notices Anna and Mac giving each other looks) Ok, spit it out. What's going on?

Anna: Nothing, darling. Mac and I had a nice dinner, that's all.

Robin: Since you won't go into details, I'll say goodnight then.

Mac: Goodnight Robin.

Anna: Sleep well (they watches Robin walk up the stairs) You were too obvious.

Mac: We don't have anything to hide.

Anna: No, we don't. I'm going to head off to bed.

Mac: Ok. Thank you for dinner.

Anna: I had a wonderful time (Anna goes to Mac and gives him another passionate kiss) Sweet dreams.

Mac: (smiles) Goodnight (he watches Anna goes up the stairs)

Setting: Kelly's

Brenda: Thanks for meeting me.

Robin: No problem. I only have a couple of hours though.

Brenda: You have to head back to GH?

Robin: Yes. Monica is letting me assist her with an operation.

Brenda: That's great. You must be excited.

Robin: I am but I'm also really nervous.

Brenda: Nervous? Why?

Robin: It's my first surgery. I hope I remember everything when I'm in there.

Brenda: You worry too much. You'll be great.

Robin: Brenda, what about if I suck? I can go in there and freeze up. I've known people who experienced that.

Brenda: Oh sweetie. You are the only person I know who keeps a cool head under-pressure. Just relax and follow Monica. She won't let you fail.

Robin: I'm crossing my finger.

Brenda: Well, I have something to help you keep your mind off of surgery.

Robin: What?

Brenda: Jax and I have decided that we want you as the Deception model.

Robin: What?

Brenda: Jax said those test shots were great. He agreed that you're a little stiff but some practice and you'll be a natural.

Robin: Brenda, I can't be your model. I barely have any time as it is.

Brenda: I know it's going to be tough with your schedule but Lucky is willing to compromise on the scheduling.

Robin: I have to think about this. I don't know if I can handle all these distractions.

Brenda: Come on. You had fun, didn't you?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: And you need all the fun you can get. Say yes Robin. Please?

Robin: I don't know.

Brenda: Robin, I'm begging.

Robin: You don't play fair. It can't be long term Brenda. You have to eventually find someone else.

Brenda: I can draw up a contract for a year.

Robin: A year?

Brenda: (giving Robin the pouting lips) Please?

Robin: (laughing a little) Fine.

Brenda: (jumps up from her chair and hugged Robin) Oh thank you. You won't regret it.

Robin: I better not.

Brenda: (gives Robin a kiss on the cheek) You won't. Wait until your picture is plastered all over billboards and magazine, you'll want to do it for longer.

Robin: No, I won't (the door opens and Robin sees Jason walking in. Jason sees Robin from the door. He stops and looks at Robin.)

Michael: Uncle Jason, why are we standing at the door?

Jason: Sorry. (he leads Michael to a table)

Brenda: (sees Robin and Jason looking at each other) Do you want to go over and say hi?

Robin: No.

Brenda: (looks again over at Jason, who was still looking at Robin) I'll have the contract drawn up. You can probably get Alexis to look over the contract.

Robin: Ok, that's fine.

Brenda: I like to schedule a couple of more shoots to get ready for the fall campaign. We should probably schedule a press conference to make the announcement.

Robin: You didn't say anything about press conference.

Brenda: Robin, you are going to be the face of Deception. You're the news.

Robin: (covers her eyes with her hands) Why did I agree to this?

Brenda: Because you're the best and you love me.

Robin: (looks at her watch) I have to go.

Brenda: Ok. Thanks Robin.

Robin: No problem. Wish me luck.

Brenda: You don't need it. Call me when you get out.

Robin: I will. Bye.

Jason: (seeing Robin leaves. He takes Michael over to Brenda) Brenda, could you watch Michael for a minute?

Brenda: Sure. Have a seat Michael. (Jason catches up to Robin)

Jason: Robin.

Robin: (turns around) Yes.

Jason: How have you been?

Robin: Fine. Busy with the hospital.

Jason: Robin, I wanted to apologize for...

Robin: You don't have to.

Jason: Are you heading back to GH?

Robin: Yes. I'm doing my first surgery.

Jason: (smiles on his face) You are? That's terrific.

Robin: I'm a little nervous.

Jason: Don't be. I'm sure you can do it with your eyes closed.

Robin: (smiles) Thank you.

Jason: Your welcome. Can I see you later?

Robin: Sure.

Jason: You want me to meet you at GH?

Robin: (distracted) I don't know.

Jason: You don't want to see me later?

Robin: No.

Jason: (disappointed) I understand.

Robin: (snaps out of her daze) No, I meant I don't want to meet at GH. If I do bad, I don't want to take it out on you.

Jason: (smiles) You'll do fine.

Robin: Let's not chance it. Can I call you?

Jason: Ok.

Robin: Ok. Bye.

Jason: Bye Robin (he smiles walking back inside)

Brenda: Did you get to talk to Robin?

Jason: Yes.

Brenda: That sounds promising.

Jason: It is.

Brenda: I'm waiting for details.

Jason: You're not getting any.

Brenda: Fine. I have to go. Bye Michael.

Michael: Bye.

Setting: Brenda's office at Deception

Brenda is at her desk looking over some papers and photos. Jax walks in.

Jax: Hey you.

Brenda: Hey.

Jax: So how did it go?

Brenda: Robin agreed to a one-year contract.

Jax: That's great. You must be excited.

Brenda: I am. I already have legal drawing up the contracts. And I've already schedule photo shoots with Lucky.

Jax: You've been busy.

Brenda: I couldn't wait to get started. You know, I think Robin will really enjoy doing this.

Jax: I think so too. She has so much pressure at GH, this will be a great distraction.

Brenda: Plus I get to see her more.

Jax: That was a given.

Brenda: I know I'm selfish. GH takes so much of her time that I never get to see her.

Jax: I'm sure Robin is just as happy to be able to spend time with you.

Brenda: Did Julia tell you the news?

Jax: You mean Jason?

Brenda: Yes. Did you say anything?

Jax: I asked her if she was certain considering his background.

Brenda: Jax, you didn't.

Jax: I had to. This is business Brenda. Barrett Enterprises can lose major money if it's ever linked to organized crime.

Brenda: I warned Jason about that. He said he would talk to Sonny about getting out.

Jax: I'll believe it when I see it.

Brenda: Give Jason a chance Jax. Did you see the warehouse? He did really nice work.

Jax: I don't doubt Jason's ability. I always thought he was too smart to be Sonny's lackey.

Brenda: Is Julia still going to hire Jason?

Jax: She said she needed to discuss it with Jason.

Brenda: Well, I hope she does. He was really excited when Julia offered him the job.

Jax: Why are you for Jason now?

Brenda: I'm not. But I do think that Robin's life will be a lot better if Jason wasn't involve in the organization anymore.

Jax: You think Robin is going back to Jason?

Brenda: Well, if he's not part of the organization anymore, it's one thing less to stand in their way.

Jax: I don't know Brenda. Robin has always accepted Jason and organization. It's Carly that Robin couldn't accept.

Brenda: I know that. It has to count for something if Jason wants out.

Jax: What about his involvement with Sonny and Carly? Is that going to change?

Brenda: I don't think Jason can abandon Sonny. But Carly, that's a different story.

Jax: I hope for Robin's sake you're right.

Brenda: Me too.

Setting: The bridge that evening

Robin went to the bridge directly from coming out of surgery. She had so much emotion and energy that she didn't know what to do with it. The bridge just seems like the right place to go. After all, she made a lot of life altering decisions standing on this very bridge.

Robin: (yelling out to the water) I did it! (a little quieter) I really did it. I wished you were here Stone. I feel so incredibly good right now I want to tell you exactly what I was feeling when I was in there. I don't even know if I can put it into words.

Jason: (quietly) Can I help?

Robin: Jason! What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?

Jason: It was the logical place.

Robin: (smiles) You know me so well.

Jason: (goes to stand next to Robin) How do you feel?

Robin: How do I put it into words? Happy, elated, excited, thankful. I wish I could bottle this feeling.

Jason: Bottle? I never thought of it that way.

Robin: Oh Jason. I wish I could make you feel what I'm feeling right now.

Jason: I can see your excitement.

Robin: You think I'll feel like this the next time?

Jason: Probably.

Robin: I can't wait until the next surgery.

Jason: When do you think that'll be?

Robin: I don't know (Robin takes a seat on the ground)

Jason: You want to do something to celebrate?

Robin: Maybe later. I want to enjoy this moment.

Jason: You wish Stone were here don't you?

Robin: Yes. It was our dream for me to be a doctor. Now I am and he's not here.

Jason: Wherever he is, I'm sure he's proud of you.

Robin: I hope I'm becoming the person that Stone can be proud of.

Jason: You have always been Robin.

Robin: (looks at Jason) Thank you for saying that.

Jason: Are you hungry?

Robin: Starving.

Jason: You want to get something to eat?

Robin: Ok. Where?

Jason: How about the first place we see?

Robin: What?

Jason: We get on my bike and we stop at the first place we see.

Robin: I have my car.

Jason: I'll take you back here.

Robin: (bites her lower lip a little) Ok, let's go.

Jason: Will you be warm enough?

Robin: I think so. (Robin climbed behind Jason and they rode off together. Jason and Robin rode down the street with the wind blowing at them. All kinds of memories rushed back to Robin. It feels so right to sitting on the bike with Jason. Robin hugs Jason tighter. Jason inhales his breath when he felt Robin hugged him tighter. He placed his hand over Robin's.)

Setting: The Bridge several hours later

Robin: Thank you. I had a really good time.

Jason: You're welcome.

Robin: I better get home.

Jason: Ok.

Robin: Goodnight (Robin turns to leave. Robin takes a few steps but then turns and runs back to Jason and hugs him. She took Jason by such surprise that he just holds her) Thank you for sharing this night with me.

Jason: Thank you for letting me

Robin: (Robin pulls back and looks at Jason. She wanted to say something) Well goodnight.

Jason: Goodnight (he watches Robin leaves with his hand over his heart) Sweet dreams Robin.

Setting: Luke's a couple of days later

Luke is at the bar doing inventory when Carly walk in

Luke: Well, well look what the cat dragged in.

Carly: Must you be so mean Luke?

Luke: I call it as I see it.

Carly: Whatever. Is Bobbie here?

Luke: As you can see, she's not.

Carly: I don't know why she wants to eat here.

Luke: Barbara Jean enjoys my company.

Carly: Well, I don't.

Luke: You're welcome to leave.

Carly: As soon as Bobbie gets here.

Luke: What have you been doing with yourself lately?

Carly: Why are you asking?

Luke: Call it Unclely concern.

Carly: Sonny and I have a lot going on with Michael's custody.

Luke: That's right. AJ wants custody.

Carly: He's not going anywhere near Michael.

Luke: I don't think you have a choice my darling niece.

Carly: I always have choices. I'll do whatever that's necessary to keep Michael away from AJ.

Luke: Come on, how bad can AJ be?

Carly: He's a drunk and a liar. If it weren't for that Saint, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Luke: Now, why would it be Robin's fault?

Carly: If she had kept her righteous mouth shut, AJ wouldn't know about Michael. And now, she has the nerve to help AJ get custody of Michael.

Luke: Have you tried to talk to Robin?

Carly: Are you kidding? She hates me.

Luke: She does have good reasons.

Carly: It's not my fault that she couldn't hang on to Jason. I didn't hold a gun to Jason's head. He wanted a family that she couldn't provide.

Luke: What about now? You're not with Jason anymore, why so much hatred toward Robin.

Carly: Jason is too good for her. She wants to mold Jason into someone he's not.

Luke: What business is it of yours?

Carly: Jason is my friend. I won't let anybody manipulate him.

Luke: What about Jason? He loves Robin.

Carly: He might have loved her in the past. She betrayed him. Jason can never forgive her.

Luke: Never is a long time.

Carly: I won't let Jason forget.

Luke: Has Sonny ever taken you to Puerto Rico or Mexico?

Carly: What?

Luke: I was thinking about a vacation. Puerto Rico and Mexico sound so warm and refreshing. Have you been there?

Carly: No.

Luke: Are you into flowers? Those tropical places have the most beautiful flowers, flowers that you can't get anywhere else.

Carly: (look at Luke strangely) Why are we talking about flowers?

Luke: This winter seems to last forever here. I miss the bloom of flowers (Carly shakes her head a little, as if Luke is losing his mind. Bobbie walks through the doors) Why hello Barbara Jean.

Bobbie: Luke, Carly.

Luke: Have you been to Mexico, Barbara Jean?

Bobbie: (thinks for a moment) I don't recall. Why?

Luke: I'm feeling the winter blues. Mexico sounds nice right about now. I was thinking of making a short trip. Looking for some tips.

Bobbie: Carly, don't you have some acquaintances in Mexico?

Carly: (surprised by the question) It's been a long time since I've contacted them.

Luke: Will you be darling and call them for me? Maybe they could suggest a place to stay and eat?

Carly: Fine. Can we eat now?

Bobbie: Sure. Excuse us Luke.

Luke: Enjoy your lunch.

Carly: I swear he's losing it.

Bobbie: He has a lot to deal with.

Setting: PCPD

Taggert: (walking into Mac's office) Commissioner, I think we got something.

Mac: What?

Taggert: I finished viewing the tapes from GH. I think I've narrowed down the time that we were looking for.

Mac: Did you find the man who was asking for Robin?

Taggert: I think so sir. I'll probably need Amy to verify him.

Mac: Ok. Remember Taggert, keep it low profile.

Taggert: I will sir.

Mac: Taggert, thank you for all your help in this.

Taggert: I'm glad I could help (Taggert walks out)

Anna: Hi.

Mac: (smiles) Hello. Busy day?

Anna: Yes. I have to head out of town for a few days.

Mac: What's going on?

Anna: David won't sign the divorce papers.

Mac: Do you want me to go with you?

Anna: No, it's better if I go alone.

Mac: What are you going to do if he doesn't sign?

Anna: Court, I guess.

Mac: Are you ok?

Anna: I'm just frustrated. I've lost so much time already. I can't believe that David is doing this.

Mac: He probably wants another chance.

Anna: It's not going to happen. I've given him so many opportunities to tell me the truth and he didn't. I can't love someone like that.

Mac: When are you leaving?

Anna: Tonight.

Mac: Tonight?

Anna: I want this done. I want to get on with me life.

Mac: Why don't you go ahead and get an early start?

Anna: I haven't even talk to Robin.

Mac: I'll tell her when I see her tonight.

Anna: Alright, thank you.

Mac: (a little sad with Anna leaving) Drive safely.

Anna: (she goes to Mac) The sooner I get this done, the sooner we can get on with our lives.

Mac: I know. I'll miss you.

Anna: I'll call you when I get there (She gives Mac a soft kiss and leaves)

Setting: The Grille

Julia: Thank you for meeting me here.

Jason: Your welcome.

Julia: I wanted to talk to about the job.

Jason: You've changed your mind?

Julia: Not exactly. But I want to make sure we are on the same page. When I made you the offer, I didn't know of your current occupation. Barrett Enterprises is an international conglomerate. We have stockholders we need to answer to. I believe that you are the best person to design this building for me but I can't give you the job knowing that you are connected to organized crime. I would be doing a disservice to the investors and the employees of Barrett Enterprises.

Jason: I understand.

Julia: I am not trying to tell you how to live your life Jason. But I hope that you would consider leaving your current occupation. I really do think you have a gift. I hate to see you waste it.

Jason: You still want to hire me?

Julia: Of course.

Jason: I've started the process of leaving the business.

Julia: You have?

Jason: I knew I would have to one day.

Julia: Well, I'm glad to hear this (takes out some papers from her briefcase) I know it was presumptuous of me but I brought some papers for you to look over. It's your employment contract with the architect firm.

Jason: You've already spoken to them?

Julia: Yes. You'll probably learn this working with me, when I make a decision to proceed nothing usually stops me.

Jason: (smiles) I'll remember that.

Julia: Until you are completely out of the business, you'll have no interaction with Barrett Enterprises. But in the meantime, I suggest that you consider enrolling in some classes where you learn the technologies and methodologies of architect. A CAD/CAM class could be beneficial.

Jason: I'll check out the classes at PCU.

Carly: Jason, what are you doing?

Jason: We're in a middle of a meeting Carly.

Carly: What kind of a meeting? Where's Sonny?

Jason: Carly.

Carly: How much longer are you going to be?

Jason: I don't know.

Carly: I'll wait for you at the bar.

Jason: Fine! (Carly gives Julia a dirty look before leaving) Sorry about that.

Julia: It's no problem. Do you have someone who could look over the contract for you?

Jason: Yes.

Julia: Good. Let me know if we need to make any modifications. There's one more thing.

Jason: Yes?

Julia: I expect your loyalty to Barrett Enterprises. Anything that you see and hear is in strict confidence.

Jason: I understand.

Julia: Good. I'm glad we got that out of the way. Do you have any questions?

Jason: You know of my past, why did you still want me?

Julia: This is business. I can't let my personal life affect my business judgment.

Jason: (nods his head understanding) Thank you.

Julia: Your welcome. Call me if you have any questions.

Jason: I will.

Julia: Congratulations Jason! (she gets up)

Jason: Thank you. Bye (Jason smiles watching Julia leave. He goes to the bar.) What is it Carly?

Carly: What were you doing with her?

Jason: None of your business.

Carly: Does Sonny know?

Jason: Also none of your business.

Carly: What is with you lately? Are you mad at me about something?

Jason: Is there something that you needed?

Carly: I'm scared about Michael's custody. Sonny thinks it won't go to trial.

Jason: Then it won't.

Carly: How can you say that? Sonny hasn't been himself since we lost the baby. He's pulling back from me.

Jason: Did you talk to him?

Carly: I did. I've tried. He won't say anything.

Jason: What do you want me to do?

Carly: Could you talk to him?

Jason: Fine! (turns to leave)

Carly: Jason?

Jason: (turns back) What?

Carly: Are you going back to Robin?

Jason: It's none of your business Carly.

Carly: She betrayed you Jason. Don't forget that.

Jason: (frustrated) How can I with you reminding me? (Jason leaves)

Carly: Damn you Robin!

Setting: Kelly's later that evening

Robin: How long did Mom say she be gone?

Mac: It depends on David.

Robin: How are you handling this?

Mac: I wish I were there with her. But I understand that she needs to do this alone.

Robin: (reaches Mac's hand) Uncle Mac, Mom is coming back.

Mac: I hope so.

Robin: Well, I know so. She wants to be here with us and with you.

Mac: But David is her husband.

Robin: Was. Mom loves you Uncle Mac. That's not going to change because she has to see David Hayward.

Mac: I know I worry too much. So when is your next surgery?

Robin: I don't know. Monica hasn't said anything.

Mac: Have you asked her?

Robin: I'm a first year resident. I didn't even expect to assist her in the last surgery.

Mac: But you're the best first year resident.

Robin: I think you're a little bias.

Mac: I call it as I see it.

Felicia: Well hi you guys.

Robin: Hi Felicia.

Mac: Where are the girls?

Felicia: At the movies with their friends.

Robin: So you're all by yourself tonight?

Felicia: Sure am.

Robin: Want to join us?

Felicia: I don't want to interrupt. Do you mind Mac?

Mac: Not at all. Have a seat.

Felicia: So, how's work at GH.

Robin: It's great. I did my first surgery a couple of days ago.

Felicia: Congratulations. How did it feel?

Robin: Terrific.

Mac: She hasn't stop talking about it.

Robin: That's no true.

Felicia: Well, you're allowed. It's a big accomplishment.

Robin: Thank you Felicia.

Felicia: You're welcome.

Mac: Are you guys ganging up on me?

Robin: We wouldn't dare.

Mac: (Mac's phone rings) Scorpio.

Anna: Hi

Mac: (a big smile) Hi to you. (he covers the mouth piece) It's Anna. I'll be right back.

Robin: Tell her I said hi. (Mac nods and gets up from the table)

Felicia: Where's Anna?

Robin: She's in Pine Valley.

Felicia: What is she doing there?

Robin: She had some business to take care of.

Felicia: (look slightly at Mac talking to Anna. She noticed how much happier he looks now) How long is she going to be gone?

Robin: I don't know.

Felicia: Mac seems happy.

Robin: He's been waiting for Mom to call. (Robin realized what she just said. She sees the hurt in Felicia's eyes) I shouldn't have said that.

Felicia: It's okay. I always knew Mac would move on.

Robin: Are you okay with it?

Felicia: I don't have any choice. I messed up.

Robin: I'm sorry Felicia.

Felicia: Me too. Sometimes I don't know myself. Mac is such a good man, husband, and father. I gave all that up for an adventure with Luke.

Robin: You can't help the way you feel.

Felicia: I know it doesn't seem so but I've always love Mac.

Robin: But it wasn't enough for you.

Felicia: You know the saying "you don't know what you have until it's gone"? It's not a great feeling to have.

Robin: As with all things, it'll get easier with time.

Mac: Anna sends her love. She'll probably have to stay for a couple of days.

Robin: That long?

Mac: Some minor problems.

Felicia: (not understanding) What does Anna have to do in Pine Valley?

Mac: Some personal stuff that needs her attention.

Robin: (looks at her watch) It's late. I have to go.

Mac: Where are you going?

Robin: Alexis is looking over the Deception contract for me. Brenda needs it back first thing tomorrow morning.

Mac: Be careful.

Robin: I will. Bye.

Felicia: Deception?

Mac: Robin agreed to be the Deception model.

Felicia: Really? That's great. Robin didn't say anything.

Mac: I think she's doing it to help Brenda out.

Felicia: It's a good opportunity for Robin.

Mac: I don't know if I like the idea of Robin's picture all over.

Felicia: Mac, you worry too much.

Mac: She's my only niece and the closest thing to a daughter.

Felicia: You don't consider Georgie and Maxie your daughters?

Mac: I never see them anymore.

Felicia: I'm sorry Mac. The girls really miss you.

Mac: I miss them too. It's hard for me to stay in touch with their lives.

Felicia: It's my fault. If I didn't...

Mac: Don't Felicia. It doesn't do anything to dredge up the past. We've both moved on with our lives.

Felicia: (a little sad) You're with Anna now.

Mac: Yes.

Felicia: Do you think you would give me another chance if Anna weren't around?

Mac: But Anna is around.

Felicia: What if she's not?

Mac: I don't know. I don't think so.

Felicia: You don't?

Mac: I'm not what you want Felicia. I don't crave the adventure and high life anymore. I like my work at the force. I like living in Port Charles.

Felicia: (tears in her eyes) We were good together Mac.

Mac: Yes but it was at a price. I don't want to pay that price anymore.

Felicia: I never meant to hurt you Mac.

Mac: I know. Look we've both moved on with our lives. We'll always be good friends. I have to go (Mac leaves)

Felicia: I still love you Mac (she said to herself)

Setting: Alexis's home

Robin: I'm sorry I'm late.

Alexis: It's okay. Kristina doesn't seem to want to sleep tonight (holding Kristina in her arms)

Robin: Can I hold her?

Alexis: You sure? I might not want her back (hands Kristina over to Robin)

Robin: (smiling down at Kristina) She's gotten so big and beautiful.

Alexis: She eats nonstop.

Robin: She just so precious.

Alexis: (smiles at Robin's tenderness) Yes, she is. Well the contract looks to be in order. Are you sure you want to do this Robin? It sounds demanding.

Robin: I've tried to explain it to Brenda but she refuses to hear. Besides, it's only for a year.

Alexis: Brenda did draw up the contract so that you'll receive residual money if they use your pictures after your contract is over.

Robin: I told her she didn't have to do that.

Alexis: It's probably good investment to have you renew the contract.

Robin: That's not going to happen. Deal is one year only.

Alexis: Well, I think you're going to be great.

Robin: Thank you (there's a knock at the door)

Alexis: (walking to the door) Ned couldn't have forgotten his keys. Jason. What are you doing here?

Jason: Can I talk to you?

Alexis: Sure, come on in.

Jason: (stops when he saw Robin holding the baby. She looks so beautiful holding the baby) Robin.

Robin: (smiles) Hi Jason.

Jason: You're busy. I can come back.

Robin: No, don't leave. I have to go.

Jason: You sure?

Robin: Yes. (hands Kristina back to Alexis, who is sleeping peacefully) Thank for you looking over the contract.

Alexis: I'll do anything you want if you promise to come over every night to put Kristina to bed.

Robin: (smiles) Deal. Goodnight Jason.

Jason: Bye Robin.

Alexis: Let me put Kristina down and we can talk. (she goes into the bedroom) Ok, what did you want to talk to me about?

Jason: (hands Alexis the contract) Will look over this contract for me?

Alexis: Are you sure you want me involved?

Jason: You've always been truthful to me.

Alexis: (skims through the contract) What is this all about?

Jason: Julia Barrett wants me to design her new building. Since I don't my license, she suggests I work for the architect firm she usually uses. This is the employment contract for that firm, Knobe and Francis Design.

Alexis: I'll need a couple of days to look this over.

Jason: No problem.

Alexis: Can I ask you a question?

Jason: Yes.

Alexis: Are you leaving the organization?

Jason: That was the stipulation.

Alexis: I understand. You do realize that if you work for this firm, they own your designs?

Jason: It has to be until I get my license.

Alexis: Ok, I wanted you to be aware of that. Well, let me look this through and I'll call you when I'm finished.

Jason: Thank you Alexis (Jason hands Alexis a small box)

Alexis: What's this?

Jason: It's a gift for Kristina.

Alexis: (surprised by Jason's gesture) You didn't have to. (she opens the box. Alexis lifts out a small gold bracelet) It's beautiful.

Jason: I hope Kristina likes it.

Alexis: She will. I'll put it on her as soon as she wakes up. May I ask why?

Jason: (rubs the back of his neck) I've always respected you and liked you.

Alexis: (nods her head) I understand. Thank you for the gift.

Jason: Your welcome. I better go.

Alexis: Ok. I'll call you.

Jason: Bye.

Setting: Pine Valley, Whirlwind

Edmund: So how long are you staying?

Anna: Just until I get David to sign the divorce papers.

Edmund: You've made your decision.

Anna: I don't have a choice. There is not future when the present is made of lies.

Edmund: How are you enjoying Port Charles?

Anna: I love it. I'm closer to Robin. My job at the force is rewarding.

Edmund: And Mac?

Anna: Why do you ask?

Edmund: You must be spending a lot of time with him.

Anna: It's expected since we live and work at the same place.

Edmund: Is that all that is between you?

Anna: Where is this coming from?

Edmund: I worry about you Anna. This thing with David can't be easy for you.

Anna: Thank you for your concerns. Mac has been great. He's been supportive and caring.

Edmund: (smiles a little) Glad to hear it.

Anna: (looks at Edmund funny) Are you fishing Edmund?

Edmund: And if I am?

Anna: You're not going to catch anything? How are things with you and Maria?

Edmund: Hard to say. Your nephew and your-soon-to-be ex-husband are not helping the matter.

Anna: What did Aidan do?

Edmund: It's not what he did. I guess I'm hurt that Maria trusts him more than me.

Anna: I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Aidan would never do anything to hurt Maria. It's a good thing that Maria that has someone she can trust besides David.

Edmund: I know you're right. How do you plan to get David to sign the papers?

Anna: I'm going to ask him.

Edmund: And if he still refuses?

Anna: Then we'll have to go to court.

Edmund: I think you should prepare yourself for court.

Anna: Why?

Edmund: Ever since you left, David has been out of control. I don't know if it's because he lost you or it's Maria.

Anna: It doesn't concern me anymore. I need to move on with my life.

Edmund: I wanted to prepare you before you go to see him.

Anna: Thank you.

Setting: Next day in Pine Valley at David Hayward's residence

Anna knocks a few more times before David answers the door. He looks as if he hasn't slept and shaved for a couple of days.

David: Well, well my wife decides to come back.

Anna: (a little surprise by David's appearance) It's not a social call.

David: By all means come in them. (Anna scans the room as she walks in. Papers and empty bottles are all over the floor.) What can I do for you my dear wife.

Anna: I need you the sign the divorce papers.

David: And that's why you're here. How have you been?

Anna: Let's not drag this out.

David: (gets a little angry) Our marriage means so little to you that you just want it done with?

Anna: I didn't belittle our marriage. Are you going to sign the papers?

David: Why the rush Anna? Do you have someone waiting in the wing?

Anna: (gives David a hard look) The rush is my life. You are unbelievable. How dare you play games with my life knowing how much of it I've lost?

David: (remorseful) I didn't mean to imply...

Anna: Then sign the papers.

David: I can't Anna. I still love you. I know you love me. Just give me another chance?

Anna: A chance for what? For more lies? For more deceit? No thank you.

David: No more lies Anna.

Anna: What makes this time different from the last?

David: I know what life is like without you.

Anna: Are you telling me that you are keeping nothing and I mean NOTHING from me at this very moment?

David: (quietly) Yes.

Anna: (laughs a little) Do you know what the truth is anymore David? Or it that another thing you can manipulate and control?

David: I swear to you Anna, I'm not hiding anything from you.

Anna: (walks around the living room. Anna scans the various papers lying on the floor. She walks to David's desk where's there's a framed picture of them together. She is about to pick the picture when something caught Anna's eyes. It's business card of a flower shop. As not to arise suspicion from David, Anna picks up the picture frame.) Have you given Maria the drug?

David: What drug?

Anna: Don't play coy David. Maria needs the drugs so she can get it analyze and find an antidote.

David: I can't do that.

Anna: Then nothing has changed. Sign the papers and have them deliver to Whirlwind. If I don't get them by tomorrow, I'll have my attorney arrange for a court date.

David: What does Maria have to do with us? You're throwing us away for a drug?

Anna: You don't get it do you? I was Maria. I didn't have my memory and my life when Edmund found me.

David: I would never keep you away from your family Anna.

Anna: Then why did you keep Maria away from her family? You deceived us all into believing she was dead. Why is Maria's life irrelevant? Why are her children lives irrelevant?

David: I was protecting Maria.

Anna: Don't you dare say that! You were protecting yourself and only yourself.

David: How can you say that Anna?

Anna: Let me tell you something David, if you had kept me away from Robin, I would not hesitate for one second in killing you.

David: I can't believe you would do that.

Anna: Believe it. I have killed for far less valid reasons. (Anna heads for the door)

David: Please don't leave like this.

Anna: Sign the papers (Anna leaves)

David: (reached for the glass and threw it across the room) Damn!

Setting: PCPD Mac's office

Taggert: Commissioner, we got it (handing Mac the tape)

Mac: Amy verified him?

Taggert: Yes.

Mac: Did you get an id on him?

Taggert: We're running his picture through the computer.

Mac: Let me know as soon as you find something.

Taggert: I will.

Mac: Thank you for the good work. (Taggert leaves. Mac puts the tape in the VCR and begins viewing the tape. Mac sees the guy talking to Amy. He didn't recognize the man. Mac picks up the phone and start dialing)

Setting: GH

Robin had to work down at the Emergency Room today because the hospital was short staff. Bobbie is the head nurse running the rooms and patients. Robin had successfully avoided Bobbie most of day today until now.

Bobbie: Robin, can I speak to you for a moment?

Robin: (hides her annoyance) Yes.

Bobbie: I was looking over the dosage you prescribed to patient Matthew Johnson.

Robin: Yes?

Bobbie: I don't think you are in a position to prescribe this type of medication.

Robin: Excuse me?

Bobbie: Robin, you don't have the training or expertise to prescribe this drug. In protection of the patient and hospital, I think you should pass the cases that you can't handle to the resident advisor.

Robin: (can't believe what she's hearing) Before you jump to conclusions, you should really try to get all the facts.

Bobbie: Robin, it's not criticisms. I know you are new to the rules and regulations of GH.

Robin: I recognized the symptoms when I diagnosed the patient. Dr. Warren, the on-call cardiologist resident advisor suggested the medication when I explained the patient's symptoms. That is proper protocol of GH, is it not?

Bobbie: (shocked and embarrassed by her blunder) You didn't make note of Dr. Warren's advise on the chart.

Robin: It's on the page of the patient's suggested next treatment.

Bobbie: (flips through the chart and sees the comment) I see it now. (Disgusted with Bobbie's behavior, Robin walks off) Robin, Robin! (walking after Robin)

Robin: Did I miss something else?

Bobbie: No. You did everything correctly.

Robin: If that's all.

Bobbie: Robin, wait a minute. It was an honest mistake. It's my responsibility to make sure rules are followed. When I didn't see a resident advisor's approval, I...

Robin: Don't explain any further. We both know what this was about.

Bobbie: What are you talking about?

Robin: I have patients to see instead of standing here watching you be coy.

Bobbie: Robin, I resent that.

Robin: And I resent you letting your personal feelings interfere with your work.

Bobbie: Wait just a minute anybody could have made that mistake.

Robin: I don't think so. Anybody else would have shown me the proper way to do things instead of suggesting that I didn't know what I was doing.

Bobbie: If you are insecure with your skills, don't blame me Robin.

Monica: Bobbie! What is going on here?

Bobbie: (a little flustered at being caught by Monica) Robin and I have a little misunderstanding.

Monica: (seeing how calm Robin was trying to stay) Is that true Robin?

Robin: (not wanting to stoop to Bobbie's level) Bobbie was so kind to point out to me that if I didn't understand GH's proper protocol, then she'll be glad to assist me.

Monica: What protocol didn't you understand?

Robin: (not wanting to discuss it further) Can we discuss this another time? I have patients waiting.

Monica: Ok, go ahead. But this is not finished. (Robin's nods and walks away) Do you want to explain to me what I just witnessed?

Bobbie: It was a misunderstanding.

Monica: I heard you accusing Robin of not knowing her skills.

Bobbie: It wasn't like that at all.

Monica: Then what was it?

Bobbie: Robin made a mistake and I pointed it out to her. She was defensive about it.

Monica: What mistake?

Bobbie: It's done with.

Monica: If Robin made a mistake, then I need to know about it. It could jeopardize the hospital and the funds that we receive. Plus Robin is still learning the ways of American hospital we need to help her with the transition.

Bobbie: (backtracking) It's resolved Monica.

Monica: I hope so Bobbie. Robin's specialized skills and studies are major contribution to GH. I would hate to lose her.

Bobbie: What does that mean?

Monica: That means this hospital needs Robin, not the other way around. She brings in a lot publicity and contacts, not to mention the donations in her name. GH needs all the money it can get. Do you understand what I'm getting at?

Bobbie: Understood.

Monica: Good. Next time that you need to correct Robin on something, make sure you do it in private. I don't want to hear or see another of this occurrence. (Monica walks away. Bobbie is left standing alone and quite embarrassed)

Setting: PCPD Mac's office

Jason: I came as soon as I could. What's going on?

Mac: On the day of Robin's accident, Amy remembered a man was asking about Robin. Taggert has been viewing all of GH's tapes. I want you to view the tape to see if you recognize the guy.

Jason: Ok.

Mac: (Mac plays the tape for Jason) That's him.

Jason: He doesn't look familiar.

Mac: Are you sure?

Jason: Yes. Do you have a name?

Mac: Taggert is running his picture through the computer. I was hoping you might recognize him.

Jason: No.

Luke: (walking into Mac's office) Hey Mac. I have some news.

Mac: Hi Luke. What is it?

Luke: I was talking to my demented niece about taking a vacation in Puerto Rico or Mexico. She said she hadn't been to either places. Bobbie shows up and said that Carly had some acquaintances in Mexico. Carly was a little nervous of the fact.

Jason: Are you sure?

Luke: Yes.

Jason: I don't recall Carly mentioning that she knew anyone in Mexico.

Mac: Is it possible for you dig around Jason?

Jason: Sure.

Mac: Since you're here Luke, do you recognize this man? (pointing to the TV)

Luke: No, who is he?

Mac: We don't know. He was asking about Robin on the day of her accident. You haven't seen him at the club or anything?

Luke: Sorry, Mac.

Mac: Hopefully Taggert can come up with something.

Setting: GH's Emergency room

Brenda: Hi!

Robin: How did you know I was down here today?

Brenda: Amy. (notices Robin was a little off) You okay?

Robin: Yeah.

Brenda: What happened?

Robin: Bobbie got to me.

Brenda: What did she say?

Robin: You want to go outside for a minute?

Brenda: Sure. (they start walking outside) Talk.

Robin: It's nothing.

Brenda: Tell me.

Robin: Bobbie jumped to conclusion.

Brenda: That's nothing new. What happened?

Robin: She thought I made a mistake and when I pointed it out to her that I didn't, she said that if I was insecure about my skills, it's not her fault.

Brenda: Are you kidding me? She tried to get to doubt your skills as a doctor?

Robin: I was so taken of guard when she said it. Do you think I'm insecure about being a doctor?

Brenda: Don't let her do that Robin! Bobbie is nothing but a registered nurse. She doesn't have the training and the study that you have. She's just probably jealous of the attention you're getting from Alan and Monica.

Robin: But I didn't ask for any special treatment.

Brenda: No but Alan and Monica know how gifted you are. They know they're lucky to have you.

Robin: I'm the lucky one.

Brenda: Don't let Bobbie get to you. It's probably eating her alive that you've obtained you goals in life while her precious daughter is still fighting the same 4 year old battle.

Robin: (laughs at Brenda's comment) You are so funny. Did you get the contract?

Brenda: Yes. Thank you for signing it. Lucky wants to schedule a shoot for this weekend. I want to schedule a press conference for the following week to introduce you.

Robin: Do you have to?

Brenda: Yes. You are going to be great.

Robin: Sure. I have to get back to work.

Brenda: Ok. Call me later.

Robin: I will. (Robin walks inside. Brenda was about to leave when she spots Bobbie pushing a patient in the wheelchair. Brenda waits until the patient leaves before approaching Bobbie)

Brenda: It must really kill you, doesn't it?

Bobbie: I beg your pardon?

Brenda: This, you.

Bobbie: What are you talking about?

Brenda: You're a nurse of 20 something odd years, having to answers to doctors half your age. Actually being corrected by doctors half your age.

Bobbie: Robin came crying on your shoulders.

Brenda: Actually no. She didn't think you're worth spilling milk for. But I'm different. You and that pathetic daughter of yours got away with stealing Robin of her life once but not again. Anna and I will make sure of it.

Bobbie: This is about Carly?

Brenda: Isn't it always? For some reasons, you 2 want to blame Robin for all of your shortcomings. What's real disgusting is that you know your daughter is nothing but trash but you refuse to open your eyes to the fact. Robin didn't sleep with your husband Robin didn't pretend to be pregnant with your husband's child Robin didn't shoot your husband.

Bobbie: I don't have to listen to this. (she turns to leaves.)

Brenda: (grabs Bobbie's arm and turns her around) Because I'm right. You and your trash daughter stay away from Robin.

Bobbie: You've made your point Brenda.

Brenda: I certainly hope so. Wouldn't want anyone to say that the rotten apple didn't fall very far from the tree! (Brenda leaves Bobbie with her mouth hanging open.)

Setting: PCPD Mac's office

Taggert: We got an id Commissioner.

Mac: Who is he?

Taggert: Dr. David Hayward.

Mac: What? Are you positive?

Taggert: Yes. We even verified his license.

Mac: Ok, thank you Taggert. (Taggert leaves) Damn! What am I suppose to tell Anna? (Mac sits and thinks for a couple of minutes. He can't decide if he should call Anna and tell her or wait until she comes home. Mac reached for the phone and dials.) Pick up Anna. (the phone continues to ring. Mac then dials another number) Anna Scorpio please.

Edmund: I'm sorry she's out right now. Can I leave a message for her?

Mac: This is Mac Scorpio calling from Port Charles.

Edmund: Hi Mac. This is Edmund. We finally speak to each other.

Mac: How are you Edmund?

Edmund: I'm fine. Anna went to see David a couple of hours ago. She should be back soon.

Mac: She went to see David?

Edmund: Yes. What's wrong Mac?

Mac: She didn't answer her phone.

Edmund: I'm sure she's fine. Do you want me to have her call you?

Mac: Yes. It's very important that she calls me.

Edmund: Ok, I'll let her know.

Mac: Thank you Edmund. Goodnight.

Edmund: Goodnight Mac.

Mac: (Mac hangs up the phone and tries Anna's phone number again. Anna still doesn't pick up) Where are you Anna? (Mac dials another number) Robin Scorpio.

Robin: Robin Scorpio, may I help you?

Mac: Robin. It's Mac.

Robin: Hi.

Mac: I'm heading to Pine Valley to meet Anna. I should be back in a few days.

Robin: Why? What happened to Mom?

Mac: Nothing. We're working on a case and we finally have a lead.

Robin: Oh, okay. Be careful.

Mac: I will. Bye Robin. (Mac hangs up with Robin and dials another number)

Jason: Morgan.

Mac: Jason, it's Mac.

Jason: Is something wrong with Robin?

Mac: No. I have to head out of town for a couple days. Could you keep an eye out for Robin?

Jason: No problem. Where is Robin now?

Mac: She's at GH. Her shift ends at 7:00 tonight. She has the day shifts for the reminder of the week.

Jason: I'll take care of it.

Mac: Jason I'm trusting you with Robin's life.

Jason: I understand.

Mac: I'll let you know when I'm back. Thank you.

Setting: Mac's house later that night.

Robin's been home for about half and hour. She's hungry but she's too lazy to make anything. Her mind is still bothered by the confrontation with Bobbie. Robin wonders what happened to the Bobbie she knew all her life. Has she changed so much or has Bobbie? Truth to be told, Robin actually misses Bobbie. Bobbie was someone she truly came to depend on while her Mom was gone. Bobbie had always been supportive of her until Carly came along. She hardly recognizes the Bobbie she once knew. Robin was just about to call for pizza when the doorbell rings.

Robin: Who is it?

Jason: It's Jason.

Robin: (a little surprise, she opens the door) Hi.

Jason: Can I come in?

Robin: Sure.

Jason: I thought you might be hungry. (hands Robin a bag)

Robin: How did you know I was going to be home?

Jason: Mac.

Robin: (shakes her head little) I really can take care of myself.

Jason: We know.

Robin: You, Mac and I need to talk when he comes back. I won't have either one of you hovering over me. You have your own life to live.

Jason: I'm not doing anything.

Robin: That doesn't mean you have to babysit me.

Jason: I'm not complaining.

Robin: I know you wouldn't. What did you bring? (looks inside the bag) Italian?

Jason: It's a new place that I found. It's pretty good.

Robin: Have a seat. I'll go get plates and utensils. (Jason sits down on the couch and starts to spread out the food. Robin comes back out with plates.) Would you like something to drink?

Jason: Whatever you're having is fine.

Robin: Ok. (she goes grab a couple of soda's) It smells good. (Jason scoops some food on plates. He hands a plate to Robin.) This is delicious.

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Thought you might like it. How are things at the hospital?

Robin: Good. I've been covering the ER because we're short staff. Monica scheduled another surgery for me early next week.

Jason: Sounds like you're busy.

Robin: I am but I really enjoy it. When I was in medical school, all my friends thought I was crazy for loading up on classes. They didn't think I would have enough time. Now, I'm glad I did it because it taught my how to manage my time effectively. And that is gold to me right now.

Jason: You graduated early?

Robin: Yes. My life at that point was school. I didn't do or think of anything else. Now, that I think about it, I wished that I had done my walk. Mac would have liked to see me in my gown and receive my degree.

Jason: Did you graduate with honors?

Robin: Yes. Like I said I didn't do much else but study.

Jason: Did you have a lot of friends in Paris?

Robin: Not a lot. But a few close ones. They were there for me from the beginning.

Jason: (sad to hear Robin say this) I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. (Robin looks at Jason for a few moments not sure of what exactly to say) I've made so many mistakes in my life. But the biggest one was abandoning you when you needed me, when our daughter needed me. (Robin gets up from the couch and goes to the window, the same window where the bullet came through that day. Robin doesn't know how to respond to Jason. Is she ready to do this with Jason? Jason comes to stand behind Robin) Robin, will you ever be able to forgive me?

Robin: (tears flows down Robin's face hearing Jason ask for her forgiveness) I don't know.

Jason: (Robin's answer squeezed the air out of Jason's heart) I am so sorry Robin. I am so sorry for not fighting for us. I am so sorry for betraying your trust.

Robin: (turns around to Jason) Don't apologize anymore Jason. In my mind and in my heart, the events of the last year we were together are all lumped together. I can't decipher where you are to blame and where I am to blame. I don't blame you for not being there for Caitlin. It's my fault that you weren't; I have no doubt that if you knew, you wouldn't stay away. But I can't forget the reasons why I was there alone.

Jason: Because of me.

Robin: (Robin looks into Jason's eyes and sees sadness looking back at her) I can't do this now.

Jason: How are we going to move on if we don't resolve the past?

Robin: We have moved on despite of the past. You have your life and I have mine.

Jason: But we have no life together.

Robin: It wasn't meant to be. (she walks away from the window and Jason)

Jason: You don't believe that Robin. No matter who walks away, we always end up together. It's not going to change now.

Robin: It has Jason.

Jason: I refuse to believe it.

Robin: Look at us Jason. Our lives have nothing to do with one another. I am glad that we're on speaking terms with each other. But I don't expect anything more.

Jason: I want more Robin. I want you. And I want us.

Robin: (sadly knowing that she's breaking Jason's heart) I don't know what else to say.

Jason: (goes and reach for one of Robin's hand) Do you miss us Robin? Do you miss me?

Robin: (tears in her eyes) Please don't do this Jason.

Jason: Do what Robin? Fight for us, for you? Do you expect me to do nothing?

Robin: I can't give you anymore than this Jason.

Jason: You can't or you won't? (He can feel his hope floating away as Robin is not responding to him) Please give us another chance Robin. I want to dance with life with only you, no one else.

Robin: I'm sorry Jason. I don't want to hurt you.

Jason: Then don't. Love me Robin. (Jason grabs Robin into his arms for a desperate kiss. Jason kissed Robin as if she was giving him his last breath. Jason finally breaks away from Robin and look deeply into her eyes) I've loved you since the first moment I saw you. I don't know how to stop. (Robin didn't respond to Jason's declaration. Defeated, Jason leaves quietly. When Robin saw the door close behind Jason, she broke down and cried)

Setting: Next day, Whirlwind

Edmund: (opens the door) May I help you?

Mac: I'm Mac Scorpio. Is Anna here?

Edmund: (reaches out to shake Mac's hand) Hi Mac. I'm Edmund. Come on in.

Mac: Thank you.

Edmund: Can I get you some coffee or anything?

Mac: No, I'm fine. Is Anna here?

Edmund: I think she came in late last night. Let me go check for you.

Mac: Thank you. (Mac walks to the window and look out)

Anna: Mac? What are you doing here? Is something wrong with Robin?

Mac: Robin is fine. I have some news.

Edmund: Why don't we sit down?

Mac: Have you seen David?

Anna: Yes? Why? (looks between Edmund and Anna) It's okay Mac. Edmund met Robin.

Edmund: Is this about Robin?

Anna: Someone is trying to hurt Robin. Her car was ran off the road several weeks ago.

Edmund: Is she alright?

Anna: She's fine now.

Edmund: Do we know who did it?

Anna: Mac and I haven't had very much luck. Is this what this is about?

Mac: I don't how to say this. It was David Hayward who was asking about Robin the day of her accident.

Anna: Are you positive?

Mac: Amy id him and Taggert ran his picture through the computer.

Edmund: David is involved? Why?

Mac: Anna, are you okay?

Anna: Yes, I'm fine. When I was over David's house yesterday, I saw business card for a flower shop on his desk. I only saw the name not the address.

Mac: Does he know that you saw the card Anna?

Anna: No. He had other things to worry about.

Mac: I don't like this. You're not safe here Anna.

Edmund: I agree with Mac, Anna. I can't protect you and Maria.

Anna: I can protect myself.

Edmund: This is David we're talking about.

Mac: What's the name of the flower shop?

Anna: La Quinta Florist.

Mac: Spanish name.

Anna: I tried to track down the address last night but I didn't have any luck.

Mac: I think we should head back to Port Charles.

Anna: No. Mac, you go but I need to stay.

Mac: What? Why?

Anna: I came here to get the divorce papers signed. I won't leave until I get it.

Mac: Anna, you can't be serious.

Anna: I am serious.

Mac: You can't go anywhere near David. We don't know what he might do.

Anna: I gave him until today to get me the papers. I won't leave before that.

Mac: I can't leave you here.

Anna: (softly) Mac, trust me. I'll be fine.

Edmund: (seeing how protective Mac is of Anna) Mac, it's only for a day. I'll stick close to Anna.

Anna: There's nothing to worry about. You go back to Port Charles. Robin needs you. I'll stay here and track down the flower shop.

Mac: I don't know.

Anna: Please Mac. I'm worry that Robin is alone. I need to take care of things here.

Mac: Ok.

Edmund: (sensing that they wanted to be alone) I need to take the kids to school. It was nice meeting you Mac.

Mac: You too Edmund. Thank you.

Edmund: Your welcome. Have a safe trip. (Edmund leaves)

Anna: I promise I'll be careful.

Mac: Please don't take David on by yourself Anna. We just got you back.

Anna: I won't do anything rash.

Mac: I'm sorry about David.

Anna: Me too. How could I be so wrong about someone?

Mac: You love him Anna.

Anna: Past tense. I'll never forgive him for hurting Robin. All this time, we thought it was Carly.

Mac: I would have been easier if it was Carly.

Anna: Yes. How's Robin?

Mac: Fine. Busy with the hospital.

Anna: I'm glad all of this hasn't distracted her.

Mac: Robin takes after you in that.

Anna: Thank you for telling me about David.

Mac: I tried to call your cell.

Anna: I forgot to charge the phone before I left.

Mac: I better get going.

Anna: Alright. Mac, don't worry about me (She gives Mac a soft kiss)

Mac: Come home soon.

Anna: I will.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse next day.

Sonny: (reading some papers) Damn!

Carly: (walking down the stairs) What is it?

Sonny: The judge granted AJ more visitations with Michael.

Carly: What? When?

Sonny: According to the social service's report, Michael responded well to AJ. They want to see what it develops into.

Carly: I can't believe this. I won't let Michael be with AJ, Sonny.

Sonny: Calm down. It's only supervised visitations.

Carly: What about after that? Am I supposed to just hand Michael over to AJ?

Sonny: That's not going to happen.

Carly: How do you know?

Sonny: I have Benny working on it.

Carly: You do? Why didn't you tell me?

Sonny: I said I would handle it, didn't I?

Carly: I'm sorry I doubt you.

Sonny: I have to head out.

Carly: Are you going to be gone all day?

Sonny: Probably. Is there something that you needed?

Carly: No. I just haven't seen a lot of you lately.

Sonny: I have business to take care of. (Carly watches Sonny leaves. She didn't know what to do about Sonny. He seems so distant lately. He's barely around anymore. The only time she sees him is in the morning before he leaves. Carly walks over to Jason's penthouse. When she got to the door, she notices some boxes sitting in the front of the door)

Carly: Johnny, whose boxes are these?

Johnny: Mr. Morgan.

Carly: (walks in without knocking) Jason, where are you?

Jason: (coming down the stairs carrying some boxes) What Carly?

Carly: What are you doing?

Jason: What does it look like?

Carly: (looks around the room and noticed everything is all packed up) You're moving? Why?

Jason: (Jason didn't feel like dealing with Carly today. He barely slept last night after leaving Robin. He couldn't fall asleep. When he did sleep, he kept seeing Robin telling him she didn't want him. Then he would wake up.) Is there something that you needed?

Carly: What's going Jason? Why are you moving out? Did you and Sonny have a fight?

Jason: I'm moving out because I have another place to live. Sonny and I did not have a fight.

Carly: Then why?

Jason: I don't need to give you my reasons for moving.

Carly: Is this about Robin? Are you moving in with her?

Jason: If I am or not, it's none of your business.

Carly: Jason, we're friends. Tell me why you're moving out.

Jason: It's no big deal Carly. I just need a change.

Carly: Most people would go buy clothes or a new car if they need a change. Not move to another place.

Jason: I'm not most people.

Carly: Is it because of me that you're moving out?

Jason: No Carly.

Carly: Good. I would late to lose you. I need your help Jason.

Jason: What is it?

Carly: It's Sonny. He's been so distant. He's gone most of the day. When he's at home, he barely said two words to me.

Jason: Did you talk to him?

Carly: I've tried.

Jason: What do you want me to do?

Carly: Could you talk to him? Maybe he'll open up to you.

Jason: I don't think he will but I'll try.

Carly: Thank you Jason. When are you moving out?

Jason: As soon as I get everything moved.

Carly: Let me know before you leave.

Jason: Carly, do you know of a place I could buy some plants?

Carly: Plants?

Jason: My new place doesn't have a view. I thought I buy a few plants to give me something to look at.

Carly: I'll get you the number.

Jason: Thanks. (he watches Carly leaves)

Setting: The warehouse

Sonny decided at the last minute walk through the warehouse. He hasn't been by since it was opened. Sonny walked around inside the building. He was impressed with all the details that Jason had added. Sonny was walking the front door when he saw Julia.

Sonny: Hello.

Julia: Hi.

Sonny: Came to steal more of my people?

Julia: I didn't steal anyone.

Sonny: You didn't offer Jason, my right-hand man, a job?

Julia: Yes.

Sonny: You didn't discuss it with me first.

Julia: No.

Sonny: Is that all you're going to say?

Julia: Yes.

Sonny: Don't you have any remorse for stealing my best person?

Julia: Not really. If Jason didn't want to leave, he wouldn't have taken the job. I only made the offer.

Sonny: A very nice offer from what I heard.

Julia: I usually get what I want.

Sonny: (flashes his dimples) What else do you want?

Julia: What are we talking about now?

Sonny: Anything you want.

Julia: (almost smile at Sonny) You never give up do you?

Sonny: Is that a smile I see? You have a beautiful smile Julia. You should do it more often.

Julia: Flattery won't get you very far with me.

Sonny: Do you always shoot down compliments?

Julia: Only the un-genuine ones.

Sonny: I only give genuine compliments.

Julia: I'm surprise that you're speaking to me knowing that I took Jason from under your nose.

Sonny: It's a good opportunity for him.

Julia: He is very talented. He did great work without any schooling. I can't wait to see what he produced after his studies.

Sonny: Jason is very determined.

Julia: You have to be for the business that he's going to. There are only so many buildings to design.

Sonny: I haven't had any lunch. Would you like to join me?

Julia: Sure, I haven't eaten all day.

Setting: Jason's new apartment.

Emily: This is a nice apartment Jason. It's very roomy and bright.

Jason: Thank you for helping me unpack.

Emily: No problem. I didn't have anything else to do.

Jason: What happened to class today?

Emily: I turned in my projects and left.

Jason: What's going on?

Emily: Nothing.

Jason: Something is bothering you. You seem kind of sad.

Emily: I don't think you want to hear it.

Jason: Of course I do.

Emily: It's about Nicholas. (she waits for Jason's reaction, nothing) You're not going to say anything?

Jason: The only thing you said was his name.

Emily: I've been having these feelings for Nicholas. Actually, since I've been back.

Jason: He doesn't return your feelings?

Emily: I don't know. He gave me these beautiful hair clips for Christmas. But he was still with Gia so I didn't want to pursue him. Now that he and Gia are broken up, I barely see him. I was hoping that he would want to see me now that Gia is gone.

Jason: Did you ask him?

Emily: I can't ask him.

Jason: Why not? How are you supposed to know?

Emily: I think he's avoiding me.

Jason: Then you'll just have to get in his face.

Emily: Jason!

Jason: What? If you want Nicholas, then go after him.

Emily: Is that what you're doing with Robin?

Jason: Did she say something to you?

Emily: No. Is she supposed to?

Jason: (disappointed) No. I thought maybe she confided in you.

Emily: If Robin did, you know I wouldn't be able to say anything.

Jason: I know.

Emily: Does this mean you're trying to get Robin back?

Jason: Yes.

Emily: Finally! What took you so long to decide?

Jason: The decision wasn't hard. It's the other stuff that's hard.

Emily: Other stuff?

Jason: Robin sees me as a stranger. She doesn't open up to me like she used to. I don't know how she feels about me.

Emily: Think of how far you've gotten Jason. 6 months ago, Robin could barely stand the sight of you. Now, you guys are actually on speaking terms.

Jason: It's not enough Emily. There are so many things going on in my life. I want to share it with Robin.

Emily: What's stopping you?

Jason: I don't know.

Emily: Maybe Robin sees you as a stranger because you are. You both have grown without each other. The only way Robin is going to know you are by you being with her, talking to her.

Jason: I've tried Emily. But everything I say comes out wrong.

Emily: I know it's hard. Try to talk about your life now. Does Robin know that you're planning to leave the organization and the job with Julia?

Jason: No.

Emily: Tell her Jason. Robin would be so happy for you.

Jason: You think so?

Emily: Definitely. You know you could probably ask Robin about PCU. She did go there.

Jason: Yes.

Emily: Ask Robin about registration process or a counselor that you could talk to.

Jason: I could do that.

Emily: Good. As matter of fact, why don't you go now?

Jason: Now? I have to unpack.

Emily: You can unpack later.

Jason: Ok. Thanks Emily. Bye.

Emily: (smiling as she watches Jason leave) Bye Jason.

Setting: Mac's house.

Robin: (sees Mac walking through the door) I didn't expect to see you back today.

Mac: I needed to get back here. Why are you at home?

Robin: My schedule got changed. I'm doing the night shift.

Mac: Oh.

Robin: Uncle Mac, is something wrong?

Mac: No. Everything is fine. Anna said she'd be back in a couple of days.

Robin: Okay. Did you lead pan out?

Mac: Yes.

Robin: Uncle Mac, what are you not telling me?

Mac: Nothing. I'm sleep deprived.

Robin: Why don't head up to bed?

Mac: I guess I should get some sleep before heading back to the station.

Robin: I probably won't be here when you get up.

Mac: Ok. Be careful Robin.

Robin: I will. (she watches Mac go up the stairs. Something is going on that Mac doesn't want to tell her. Robin grabs her coat and purse and leaves.)

Setting: Kelly's

Robin walks in and sees Liz at the counter.

Robin: Hi Liz. How are you doing?

Liz: I'm fine. You?

Robin: Busy.

Liz: (a little softer) Lucky told me about Deception. I think you're going to be great.

Robin: I hope I won't be the laughingstock of Port Charles.

Liz: You won't be. Are you excited?

Robin: I am a little. It's so new to me.

Liz: You want something to eat?

Robin: I'm waiting for Nicholas.

Liz: Did you hear about Gia?

Robin: Yes. I don't know if I should be happy or sad for him.

Liz: I know what you mean. I thought he would have tried to contact Emily. But he hasn't.

Robin: He hasn't?

Liz: Emily said no.

Robin: Poor Emily. Is she alright?

Liz: A little disappointed.

Robin: Maybe Nicholas will say something.

Liz: (looks at her watch) I wonder where Courtney is. I have to head to class.

Robin: You want to head out? I can look after Kelly's.

Liz: I can't ask you to do that.

Robin: You didn't ask. I volunteered.

Liz: I hate to leave but I have to turn in my project.

Robin: Go. I'll be fine.

Liz: I'm going to drop off my project and come right back.

Robin: Take your time.

Liz: Thanks Robin. You're a lifesaver.

Robin: No problem. (Robin puts on Liz's apron) Drive safely.

Liz: I will. Thank you.

Robin watches Liz leaves. Robin goes to pickup some of plates off of the table. Robin comes out the kitchen as Luis walks in.

Robin: (smiling at Luis) Hello.

Luis: Hello. What's with the apron?

Robin: Liz had to go to class so I'm watching Kelly's for a while.

Luis: Have you done waitressing before?

Robin: No. But how hard can it be? I take the orders to the cook and I bring the food to the customers. Simple!

Luis: (takes a seat at the counter) How's GH?

Robin: Fine. I have the night shift today.

Luis: That doesn't sound too fun.

Robin: You want anything?

Luis: Coffee?

Robin: (pour coffee into a cup and hands it to Luis) See? I can serve.

Luis: This is the best coffee I've ever tasted.

Robin: Ha ha. I didn't make the coffee.

Luis: But your service makes it taste great.

Robin: (smile at Luis) You're such a flatterer.

Luis: I only speak the truth.

Robin: (bending toward Luis over the truth) Speaking of truth, when is your birthday?

Luis: Why?

Robin: Because I want to celebrate your birthday.

Luis: We can celebrate your birthday.

Robin: But then I wouldn't be able to give you a present.

Luis: What are you giving me?

Robin: What do you want?

Luis: A kiss.

Robin: A kiss?

Luis leans closer into Robin and kisses her tenderly. Caught off guard, Robin responded lightly. At the door, Jason is outside looking in. He sees Luis and Robin kissing. Jason walks away before anyone sees him.

Luis: That's the best present I've ever got.

Robin: Be serious. When is your birthday?

Luis: May 15.

Robin: May 15. I'll have to remember that.

Courtney was rushing to Kelly's when she saw Jason sitting on the bench. He looks sad.

Courtney: Jason? What are you doing?

Jason: Nothing.

Courtney: Is something wrong?

Jason: Why did you forgive AJ after everything that he did?

Courtney: What? Why do you want to know?

Jason: Just tell me.

Courtney: I wanted our marriage to work. Most of the time, AJ is very sweet and kind to me. He makes me feel special.

Jason: (nods his head) He never questioned you about me?

Courtney: AJ doesn't like it that we're close. What is this about Jason?

Jason: I just wanted to know what AJ did to get you to forgive him.

Courtney: Why Jason?

Jason: I'll see you later.

Courtney watches Jason leaves. She wonders what that was all about. Courtney gets up and rushes to Kelly's. When she arrived, she sees Robin with Luis. It dawned on Courtney why Jason was asking her those questions.

Robin: Hi Courtney.

Courtney: (abrupt toward Robin) What are you doing here?

Robin: Liz had to get to class so I told her I'd watch Kelly's until you get here.

Courtney: I'm here now. You can leave.

Luis: (not liking the way Courtney was speaking to Robin) Robin did you a favor. You can't say thank you?

Robin: Luis.

Courtney: I didn't ask her to do me any favors.

Robin: No you didn't. I did it to help Liz out. (Robin takes off her apron and puts it away) Let's go Luis.

Courtney: You don't have any shame, do you?

Robin: (turns back toward Courtney) Excuse me?

Courtney: Do you even care that you tore his world apart, that you broke his heart?

Robin: Of course I do. That's why I'm helping AJ get Michael back.

Courtney: I'm not talking about AJ.

Robin: (puzzled) Who are you talking about?

Courtney: Like you don't know. You're too busy prancing around the city with your new boyfriend.

Robin: What?

Luis: Let's go Robin.

Robin: No. What are you talking about?

Courtney: I'm talking about Jason. You broke Jason's heart. When he's finally ready to move on without you, you come back ready to break his heart again.

Robin: I don't know what you're talking about.

Courtney: I can't believe you can be so vindictive. Jason has apologized to you but you refuse to forgive him. You refuse to let him move on with his life.

Robin: You don't know what you're talking about.

Courtney: If you don't love him, why don't you let him go? You obviously found someone else.

Robin: I'm not having this conversation with you. (starts to walk away)

Courtney: That right. Leave like you always do. You're not good enough for Jason.

AJ: (standing at door) Courtney!

Courtney: AJ.

AJ: (going to Robin) Are you okay?

Robin: Yes. I have to go.

AJ: I'm sorry Robin.

Robin: Don't be. (Robin leaves with Luis)

AJ: You want to tell what just happened here?

Courtney: It's nothing.

AJ: Nothing? Why are you arguing with Robin over Jason?

Courtney: Just drop it AJ.

AJ: Not until you tell what's going on. (Courtney goes back to the counter. AJ looks closely at Courtney. She had an expression he hasn't seen before) You're jealous of Robin, aren't you?

Courtney: What? Of course not!

AJ: Then why were you all over Robin about Jason?

Courtney: Jason is my friend. I don't want to see him hurt.

AJ: Robin can't hurt Jason.

Courtney: She is AJ. Just when he was ready to move on, she comes back and ruined everything.

AJ: You mean she ruined your chances with Jason.

Courtney: No!

AJ: I can't believe this. I thought you loved me. You don't do you? You want Jason.

Courtney: AJ, I love you.

AJ: Don't lie to me. If you loved me, you would know how important Robin is to me. She's the only person who believes I can be a good father to Michael. Robin has always stood by me.

Courtney: I believe in you.

AJ: God! How could I have been so blind? You know what, if you want Jason, go after him. I'm not going to stop you. I'm obviously not what you want. I don't know if I ever was. But I do have one advice for you, Jason will never love anyone besides Robin. So be prepare to have your heart broken (AJ leaves abruptly.)

Courtney: AJ...

Setting: GH later that evening.

Tonight was slow night at GH. Robin has already done her rounds. Robin was hoping for a busy night to keep her mind off of what happened earlier. Robin decides to watch a surgery tape that Tony gave her yesterday.

Brenda: (walking into the break room) Hey you.

Robin: Hi. What are you doing here?

Brenda: Luis called.

Robin: He did?

Brenda: He was worry about you.

Robin: I'm fine.

Brenda: Sweetie, it's me. You can tell me.

Robin: I was kind of hoping to forget it.

Brenda: Was it that bad?

Robin: It was so out of the blue. I didn't really know what to make of it.

Brenda: Why would Courtney think you're stringing Jason along? What business is it of hers?

Robin: When I first came back into town, I saw Jason kissing her.

Brenda: What!? Are you kidding me?

Robin: No. It seems like they were close.

Brenda: I can't believe Jason would go after his own brother's wife. It's low even for Jason. You know, Courtney is probably jealous of you.

Robin: Me? Why?

Brenda: It's obvious to everyone that Jason wants you back.

Robin: But I don't want him. She can have him.

Brenda: I don't think Jason wants her. That's probably why she got in your face.

Robin: This is great. I'm not even with Jason and I still get attack. She accused me of flaunting my relationship with Luis. She doesn't even know anything about Luis and me.

Brenda: Don't think too much of it. She sounds juvenile.

Robin: I don't have to justify my relationship with Luis to anyone. He was there for me when I had no one.

Brenda: Sweetie, no one is questioning your relationship with Luis. I'm glad you have Luis.

Robin: You are?

Brenda: Yes. Luis is actually a nice guy. Plus he's not too bad to look at either.

Robin: (smiling) Brenda!

Brenda: Don't tell me you haven't notice.

Robin: Well yes, he is nice to look at.

Brenda: Even nicer without clothes.

Robin: Brenda!

Brenda: It's not like you haven't seen him naked Robin. (Robin doesn't say anything but Brenda notices Robin getting red) Robin, you have been with Luis, haven't you?

Robin: I haven't.

Brenda: Oh my god! (Brenda covers her mouth with her hand)

Robin: It's not that big of a deal.

Brenda: I can't believe Luis hasn't gotten you into his bed. What is he waiting for? Did you ask him?

Robin: We don't exactly talk about that.

Brenda: What exactly do you do when you're together?

Robin: We talk and we kiss sometimes.

Brenda: Kiss, huh? When do you plan to take the next step?

Robin: I don't know. I can't talk about this.

Brenda: Ok. I should get going so you can go back to watching your surgery.

Robin: Is the shoot still on?

Brenda: Sure is.

Robin: Alright. See ya.

Brenda: Bye.

Setting: PCPD Mac's office:

Mac: (picks up the ringing phone) Scorpio.

Anna: (smiles) Figured you'd still be there.

Mac: Robin had to work tonight so I stayed here to get some work done.

Anna: You sound tire. Are you ok?

Mac: I'm fine. Did you make any headway with the flower shop?

Anna: The owner is out of town. But the girl who was working there said they did carry the yellow marigold during the time of Robin's accident. She didn't know if they made any delivery though.

Mac: At least it's something. Did you get the papers from David?

Anna: No. I've called my attorney to push for a court date.

Mac: Are you heading back home then?

Anna: I'm going to stay to try to talk to the owner.

Mac: Are you sure? I don't like the idea of you being in the same town as Hayward.

Anna: I'll be alright. Besides, Edmund hasn't been very far from my side.

Mac: Good. Anna, I didn't tell Robin about David.

Anna: We'll tell her when I get back.

Mac: Ok.

Anna: I better let you go.

Mac: Ok.

Anna: Take care of yourself Mac.

Mac: I will. You too. Bye.

Setting: Mac's house

Robin: I thought Mom would be home by now.

Mac: Me too.

Robin: She's still in Pine Valley working on the case?

Mac: Yes.

Robin: (seeing that Mac is distracted) Are you worry about Mom?

Mac: It's that obvious?

Robin: Just a little. You miss Mom?

Mac: Yes. I sound like a schoolboy.

Robin: No you don't. It's nice to be missed. You want to grab some lunch after my photo shoot?

Mac: That's right. I forgot. Are you nervous?

Robin: Yes. I still don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Mac: Well, Brenda will be there. She'll help you.

Robin: I hope so.

Mac: Call me when you're finish.

Robin: I will, bye.

Mac: Have fun!

Setting: Deception Studio

Nicholas: Hey.

Lucky: What are you doing here?

Nicholas: Trying to catch Robin. We keep missing each other.

Lucky: She should be here in a little bit. So how are you doing?

Nicholas: You mean without Gia?

Lucky: Yeah.

Nicholas: Ok, I guess. Gia and I barely saw each other toward the end. But now that she's actually gone, I miss her.

Lucky: Sorry buddy.

Nicholas: How are things with you?

Lucky: Good. Nothing against Gia but I'm glad Brenda decided on Robin. At least, Robin will never abandon me.

Nicholas: I guess Gia abandoned all of us.

Lucky: Brenda is scheduling a press conference/party next week to introduce Robin. Can you come?

Nicholas: Sure. I can't believe Robin is really going to do this.

Lucky: She is a little stiff but the camera loves her.

Nicholas: Have you seen Emily?

Lucky: Not really.

Nicholas: Oh.

Lucky: Why?

Nicholas: No particular reason.

Lucky: Why don't you call her? I'm sure she's waiting for you to call.

Nicholas: I don't know about that. I think I've made Emily waited too long.

Lucky: You're not going to know for sure until you ask her.

Nicholas: Maybe.

Robin: (strolling in) Maybe what?

Nicholas: Hey you!

Robin: (gives Nicholas a hug) What are you doing here?

Nicholas: We kept missing each other.

Robin: Sorry about the other day.

Nicholas: No problem.

Lucky: Robin, are you ready?

Robin: I guess so.

Lucky: Let me go get the stylists.

Robin: OK. So, how have you been?

Nicholas: Ok.

Robin: Missing Gia?

Nicholas: A little.

Robin: It's okay that you do. You guys were together for a while.

Nicholas: I guess so. You excited?

Robin: I am. I can't believe my picture is going to be in magazines.

Nicholas: After next week, it'll be official.

Robin: Will you come to the party? I need all the support I can get.

Nicholas: I wouldn't miss it for anything.

Robin: Are you going to stay for the photo shoot?

Nicholas: If you want me to.

Robin: I want you to stay.

Lucky: Ok, they're ready for you Robin.

Robin: Thank you. I'll be back in a bit.

Setting: Brenda's office

Jax: I thought you'd be at the photo shoot.

Brenda: (looking through some papers on her desk) I'm trying to get there.

Jax: What are you looking for?

Brenda: My press list for next week.

Jax: Let me help you.

Brenda: I need to get the invitations addressed by today.

Jax: You should consider hiring assistance.

Brenda: Assistance?

Jax: Assistance can take care of all of these details for you.

Brenda: You're right. But who would want to work me?

Jax: Come on, you're not that bad.

Brenda: Yes, I am. I'm neurotic and unorganized obviously...

Jax: (finds the list) Here you go. You need some help, that's all.

Brenda: Know of anyone?

Jax: Not of top of my head. But we can start looking.

Brenda: Good idea. Do you think having the press conference at Port Charles Hotel is too much?

Jax: It's classy. I thought you wanted it to a party of some sort.

Brenda: I do. I definitely think everyone in this town needs a party, a night of dancing, drinks, and good food.

Jax: Then it's perfect.

Brenda: Ok. I have to go drop off this list before I can go to the photo shoot.

Jax: Here why don't you let me do that. You go to the photo shoot.

Brenda: Really? Thank you. (Brenda gives Jax a sweet kiss) Dinner later?

Jax: You're on.

Brenda: Bye. (Jax laughs watching Brenda rush out)

Setting: Deception studio

Nicholas: Wow! (Robin walks out from the dressing room.)

Robin: Thank you.

Lucky: You look perfect Robin.

Robin: Where do you want me?

Lucky: (walks Robin to the background screen) You nervous? (Robin nods) Don't be. I'll walk you through it. Want some music?

Robin: Ok.

Lucky: (taking some test shots) Ok Robin. Pretend you're a party. It's a crowded. You're looking for your date (Lucky takes some shots) Did you find him? (Robin shakes her head, Lucky snaps) What are you going to say when you see him?

Robin: (smiling) Where's he been of course?

Lucky: (snaps more pictures) That's right! Give it to him for making you wait. (Lucky continually snaps pictures) How about some serious shots? Think of something that boggles your mind.

Robin: (laughing) Lucky! Everything boggles my mind.

Lucky: (snaps) Good! Show me. (snaps, snaps. Lucky continues to coach Robin in her poses. Robin was starting to relax and following Lucky's lead.)

Brenda: How is she?

Nicholas: She's great.

Brenda: She looks beautiful.

Nicholas: Yes.

Brenda: Hey Nicholas, I'm really sorry about Gia.

Nicholas: Thank you.

Brenda: Will you come to next week's press conference?

Nicholas: I told Robin I would be there.

Brenda: Great.

Nicholas: Need me to do anything?

Brenda: I have some invitations that need to be delivered.

Nicholas: I'll be happy to deliver them for you. Whose are they?

Brenda: Alexis and Ned, the Quartermaine, AJ, Felicia, and Luke.

Nicholas: That's almost everybody.

Brenda: Robin has a lot of friends.

Nicholas: What about Sonny Corinthos?

Brenda: What about him?

Nicholas: You don't think he should be there?

Brenda: I don't know. I think it would be nice for him to come but that would also mean Carly would come. I don't want anything to ruin Robin's night.

Nicholas: You're right. And Jason?

Brenda: I'm going to give him his invitation later.

Lucky: Ok. Why don't you change while I reload these cameras?

Robin: Ok. (sees Brenda) Hey!

Brenda: You look great.

Robin: Are you going to stay?

Brenda: Of course. Go change. You'll love your other outfit.

Robin: Ok .

Nicholas: What's going on?

Brenda: Just wait. (a few moments later Robin comes striding out wearing a white robe)

Robin: I can't wear this.

Brenda: Of course you can't.

Robin: I don't mean the robe Brenda.

Brenda: What?

Robin: (flashes open her robe quickly.) This!

Nicholas: Double wow!

Brenda: (laughs) Thank you Nicholas. I picked the outfit myself.

Robin: Brenda, I'm barely covered.

Brenda: You are covered. (Brenda removes Robin's robe) It's a perfectly outrageous outfit.

Robin: (looks at herself up and down. Robin can feel herself getting red with all her skin exposed. Robin had on metallic half tube top with a matching very short mini skirt that hugs her hips. On the front and the back there was a string of blue beads that connects the top to the skirt. Most of Robin's upper body and her lower body were exposed) I don't think it'll stay on.

Brenda: It'll stay on. Trust me.

Lucky: (comes back) Wow!

Brenda: See?

Robin: Let's do this before I really chicken out.

Lucky continues to take more pictures of Robin. Robin changed into 2 more outfits before they were done. Robin had to admit that she did have fun. During the whole time, she thought of nothing else but the things that Lucky had her conjured up in her mind.

Brenda: Are you tired?

Robin: Not really.

Brenda: Good. It'll get easier with time.

Lucky: You were really good today Robin.

Robin: Thank you for helping me.

Lucky: That's a photographer's job.

Nicholas: If you're all done, you want to grab something to eat?

Robin: Do you mind if I invite Uncle Mac?

Nicholas: No problem. You want to ask him to meet us at Luke?

Robin: OK. Are you coming Lucky?

Lucky: Sure, I'm all finish here.

Nicholas: Brenda?

Brenda: Sorry, I have tons of stuff to do for next week.

Robin: Sure?

Brenda: Yeah go. Have a good time.

Setting: The Grille

Jax was sitting at table reading some documents.

Skye: Hi Jax.

Jax: Skye.

Skye: How are you?

Jax: I'm fine. You?

Skye: Well. May I join you?

Jax: I'm expecting Julia.

Skye: I can leave when Julia comes.

Jax: Ok. How's the club?

Skye: It's busy. You know if you come by, you can see for yourself.

Jax: I see the books so I know business is good.

Skye: Right. How are things? Bought anything lately?

Jax: No not really. I guess I'm keeping a low profile.

Skye: I heard there's a Deception Party next week. I'm surprise you didn't hold it at the club.

Jax: Brenda wanted a different ambience.

Skye: Brenda.

Jax: She makes all the arrangements.

Skye: Well then I'm sure it's going to be great.

Jax: You're welcome to come if you want.

Skye: No, I don't think so.

Jax: Well think about it. A lot of Port Charles will be there.

Skye: We'll see. Are you and Brenda getting married soon?

Jax: No, why do you ask?

Skye: I'm just wondering. I thought with all the time that you lost.

Jax: We're not in any rush. Neither one of us is going anywhere.

Skye: Right.

Julia: Am I early?

Jax: No, you're right on time. Julia do you know Skye?

Julia: No, I don't think we've met.

Jax: Julia Barrett, Skye Chandler.

Julia: Nice to meet you.

Skye: You're Brenda's sister.

Julia: Yes.

Skye: I'm sitting in your chair. It was nice seeing you Jax. Bye.

Julia: (takes a seat) So that's Skye.

Jax: Yes.

Julia: She's not what I expected.

Jax: What did you expect?

Julia: Someone stronger.

Jax: Skye has her moments.

Julia: Are you ok?

Jax: Yeah

Setting: Luke's

Mac and Luke are at the bar when Robin, Lucky, and Nicholas walk in laughing about something.

Luke: This is a nice surprise.

Robin: Hi Luke. (she goes to give Luke hug)

Luke: How'd you doing Luv?

Robin: Fine.

Nicholas: Hey Luke.

Luke: Hello. Hi to you Buddy. Don't you ever visit your old man anymore?

Lucky: Sorry, I've been a little busy.

Robin: Did we keep you waiting?

Mac: Not at all. I just got here.

Luke: Lunch for everyone?

Robin: Yes, please.

Mac: I take it the photo shoot went well?

Lucky: She was great Mac.

Mac: When do I get to see the pictures?

Lucky: The official Robin Scorpio, the model, launch party is next week. You and everyone else will have to wait until then.

Luke: Next week?

Nicholas: Here's your invitation Luke. Brenda was going to drop it off earlier but she didn't have time.

Luke: (opens the invitation) Port Charles Majestic Ballroom. (whistle a little) Pretty. Classy!

Robin: Will you come?

Luke: Wouldn't miss it for anything. So what are we all having?

Robin: Anything and everything. I'm starving.

Luke: The lady has an appetite.

Lucky: I guess we worked her a little too hard.

Luke: Ok, let's see what I can come up with.

Robin: Uncle Mac, you'll come next week won't you?

Mac: Suit and all.

Robin: (smiles) Thank you.

Luke: Ok, food will be out in a few.

Robin: Any new acts lately?

Luke: Nah. It's been quiet.

Robin: Well, we have to do something about that.

Luke: What do you have in mind? Planning on doing a performance tonight?

Robin: No. No way. But Lucky will.

Lucky: Me?

Robin: You sing beautifully.

Lucky: That doesn't mean I want to do it in front of an audience.

Nicholas: What about if Liz was in the audience?

Lucky: Well that's different. (they all burst out laughing)

Mac: He's definitely your son Luke.

Luke: Are you on Buddy?

Lucky: I don't know.

Robin: Come on Lucky. Liz would love to hear you sing. We'll be here to cheer you on.

Lucky: Ok.

Luke: Great. Well I gotta get the word out that my boy is performing tonight.

Lucky: No Dad, don't.

Nicholas: I'll do it then.

Robin: It'll be great Lucky.

Lucky: Well, you all better be here.

Mike: (comes walking out from the back) Well hello everyone.

Robin: Mike! (jumps of the stool to go hug Mike) How are you?

Mike: I'm well sweetheart. How about you?

Robin: Good. Come join us.

Mike: What's going on?

Luke: Robin just convinced Lucky to perform tonight.

Mike: Really. This is going to be a treat.

Robin: He's great Mike. Wait until you hear him.

Lucky: I don't know.

Mac: Don't worry Lucky. Your dad can always provide comic relief.

Robin: Speaking of comic. I heard a hilarious doctor joke on the TV the other day.

Luke: Shoot.

Robin: This girl, who is doing her second year residency, gets a ditzy when she's stress out. Her advisor is this grumpy old intimidating guy who has no patience. Well, he was asking her a question and of course she started talking about all these things at one time. He was annoyed so he asked her if she went to college, she nodded. Then he asked her if she went to medical school, again she nodded. Then in a straight face, he said since you went to college and to medical school, I can assume you are at least 8 years old. (Everyone bust out laughing at Robin's joke)

Luke: How did she respond?

Robin: She nodded her head. (again everyone burst out laughing. At the door, stood Carly. She's mad watching everyone with Robin) I kid you guys not. I'm that girl. Sometimes, Monica would ask me the simplest question and I swear I must have the dumbest expression on my face (everyone continues to laugh)

Mike: Ah, honey. Everyone goes blank sometime or another.

Carly: The Saint actually has a fault? (Everyone turns to look at Carly briefly and then goes back to their conversation. Carly was even more mad that they all ignored her.)

Luke: Well you must really be a doctor if you're starting to relate to doctor jokes.

Robin: Some of them are so true, like the lawyer jokes.

Carly: (stomping over to the bar) Luke! (Luke doesn't answer) Luke!

Luke: (with an apologetic look to Robin) Did you need something?

Carly: Is this not a place of service? What do I have to do to get some service?

Luke: If you don't like the service, you can leave.

Carly: I'm your niece Luke. She's nothing.

Luke: (gets mad) No, you are nothing. Robin is one of my children.

Carly: (taken back by Luke's comment) I don't need this! (she stomps out!)

Setting: Jason's penthouse

Brenda knocks on Jason's door a couple of times but nothing. She goes to the elevator where Sonny was just getting off.

Sonny: Hey.

Brenda: Hey to you.

Sonny: Looking for me?

Brenda: Jason.

Sonny: He moved out a couple of days ago.

Brenda: Moved out? Why?

Sonny: (Brenda follows Sonny into the penthouse) You'll have to ask him.

Brenda: Where can I find him?

Sonny: Probably the warehouse.

Brenda: Ok. Thanks. So how have you been?

Sonny: Hanging in there.

Brenda: I shouldn't be doing this but... (she reached into her bag)

Sonny: What?

Brenda: (hands the invitation to Sonny) Here.

Sonny: What's this? (Opens and reads the invitation) Why would I go to a Deception party?

Brenda: It's for Robin.

Sonny: Robin?

Brenda: It's an important night for her.

Sonny: Then maybe I shouldn't be there.

Brenda: Aren't you even going to try to mend your relationship with Robin?

Sonny: Of course I want to.

Brenda: Well, here's your chance.

Sonny: I... (Carly walked in the door. She stops when she saw Brenda. Sonny quickly puts away the invitation.)

Carly: What are you doing here?

Brenda: None of your business.

Carly: This is my house!

Brenda: (looks around a bit) So I see, nice seeing you Sonny.

Sonny: Bye.

Carly: What did she want?

Sonny: She was looking for Jason.

Carly: Here?

Sonny: What's wrong Carly?

Carly: Bad day. (she goes to sit on the couch)

Sonny: I have business to take care of. (about to head out the door)

Carly: Sonny?

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: What's going on?

Sonny: With what?

Carly: You've been gone a lot lately.

Sonny: I have things to take care of.

Carly: Isn't that what's Jason is for?

Sonny: Jason has his things to do. What is it?

Carly: I haven't seen very much of you, that's all.

Sonny: (seeing how sad Carly looks) How about dinner at Luke's tonight?

Carly: You sure?

Sonny: Yes. I should be home around 7:30.

Carly: Ok, I'll be ready.

Sonny: Good. I have to go.

Setting: The warehouse

Brenda: Hey.

Jason: What are you doing here?

Brenda: I wanted to give you something. (she hands Jason an invitation)

Jason: What's this? (open and read the invitation) A party?

Brenda: It's a launching party for Robin.

Jason: And she wanted me there?

Brenda: You don't want to come?

Jason: She didn't invite me, did she?

Brenda: I'm doing the invitations. Robin has enough things to do.

Jason: I don't know.

Brenda: Do whatever you want.

Jason: Is it suit and tie?

Brenda: (smiles) Yes. You do have suits Jason?

Jason: Yes.

Brenda: What's the problem?

Jason: Nothing.

Brenda: How about I pick out something for you and send it over?

Jason: You don't have to do that.

Brenda: If it'll get you to come.

Jason: Thanks.

Brenda: I have to go.

Jason: Bye.

Setting: Luke's later that night.

Luke spread he word quickly that Lucky was performing so the club was packed with people. Carly and Sonny are having dinner at a table. Ned, Alexis, Julia, Jax and Brenda are at another table. It took Ned some convincing to get Alexis to leave Kristina with a sitter. Felicia decided to let Maxie come and they're sitting with Mac. AJ and Skye came together. Liz, Lucky, Nicholas, Robin, Luis and Emily were at a table together. It was a little awkward with Luis there but no one said anything. They all saw how happy Robin was. Mike walked in with Courtney.

Courtney: It's busy tonight.

Mike: It's not every night that Lucky performs. I'm sure Luke wanted to show him off a bit.

Courtney: (scans the room) I don't think there's any table left.

Mike: Sonny and Carly are over there. You want to sit with them?

Courtney: Sure. (as they make their way over to Sonny's table, Courtney passed AJ's table. AJ didn't bother giving Courtney another look. Courtney looks hurt but continued walking.)

Mike: Mind if we join you?

Sonny: Not at all. Hi Courtney.

Courtney: Hi.

Sonny: Why is it so busy tonight?

Mike: Lucky is performing tonight.

Sonny: Ah. Luke went all out.

Over at Robin's table...

Emily: This is a big crowd.

Liz: How did everyone know so fast?

Lucky: Dad.

Robin: It's perfect for Lucky's debut.

Lucky: No pressure at all.

Nicholas: This is nothing compared to some of the stunts you pulled.

Lucky: Yeah but I didn't have an audience.

Liz: It'll be ok.

Robin: We're here to cheer you on.

Lucky: Payback is rough Robin.

Robin: What? You're going to thank me later.

Lucky: We'll see.

Emily: Well I am looking forward to hearing you sing. I don't think I've ever heard you before.

Liz: He's good.

Lucky: I think you might be a little a bias Liz.

Robin: Liz is right.

Nicholas: Well, the band sounds good. (everyone laughs at the table)

Lucky: Hey!

Nicholas: Just kidding Lucky.

Luke: (standing onstage) Hello everyone. Thank you for coming. You all are in for a treat tonight. Lucky, my son, will be performing. (loud claps and cheers) Ladies and gentlemen, Luke's would like to present Lucky Spencer. (claps, cheers and whistles broke out.)

Liz: Go get them Lucky.

Lucky: Thank you everyone. I didn't get to practice and memorize these songs so if in the middle of the piece you hear humming; it's me not knowing the words. (the crowd broke out in a laugh. The band starts to play "Every breath you take" by the Police and Lucky joined in.)

Luke is standing behind the bar watching when Jason came in.

Jason: Is that Lucky?

Luke: (smile approvingly) Sure is.

Jason: I didn't know he sings.

Luke: He's good.

Jason: Everyone thinks so. (Lucky finished the song and applause broke out. The band started another song, a faster song that got the crowd cheering louder.)

Luke: Can I get you anything?

Jason: Beer. (Jason scans the room, he sees Sonny, Carly, Courtney and Mike. When a loud whistle broke out from a table, Jason looked over and saw Robin sitting next to Luis. Robin kept whistling at Lucky and cheering.)

At Sonny's table...

Courtney: (looking around the club, she sees Jason standing at the bar) Jason is here.

Sonny: (Sonny looks toward Jason) When did he get here?

Carly: He looks like he's planted there.

Courtney: (still looking at Jason) I'm going to see if he wants to join us. (she gets up and goes over to Jason) Hi Jason.

Jason: (sipping his bear) Courtney. (sneaks a look at Robin.)

Courtney: How long have you been here?

Jason: I just got here.

Courtney: Want to come and join us?

Jason: I'm fine here. (another whistle and Jason looks at Robin. Courtney saw Jason looking at Robin. Courtney was annoyed.)

Courtney: Come on, you don't want to stand here.

Jason: I said I was fine.

Courtney: (rejected) I'm going to head back then. (Jason didn't say anything and took another sip of his beer.)

Carly: Jason didn't want to join us?

Courtney: (deflated) No.

The crowd was going crazy with Lucky's performance. Every now and then, there would be some humming and the crowd broke out into the laughter but then they go back to cheering and clapping. Lucky performed a couple of more songs

Lucky: Thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed the show. But it's not over. We have a surprise performance for you. May I present Robin Scorpio Cates. (The crowd broke out in a bigger applause. Robin was shocked. She just looks at Lucky and shakes her head.) Everyone, I think Robin needs a little more encouragements (applause grew louder) Robin?

Luis: You can do it.

Robin: I don't know

Luis: Do it for me then.

Robin: Ok. Don't go anywhere. (Luis gives her a kiss on the cheek that didn't escape Jason's notice. The crowd cheered louder when Robin stood up to go onstage. She gives Lucky a look which made Lucky laughs) Stand right there. (she told Lucky) Hi everyone. I wasn't prepared for this.

Luke: (yelling from the back) Don't worry about it Luv.

Robin: (she smiles at Luke. Robin goes to the keyboard player to gives some instruction) I'm more unprepared than Lucky so same deal goes with me about the humming. Lucky here is going to help me with the song. (The starts to play "True Blue" by Madonna. Robin looked out into the audience and starts to sing.)

I've had other guys

I've looked into their eyes

But I never knew love before

'Til you walked through my door

I've had other lips

I've sailed a thousand ships

But no matter where I go

You're the one for me baby

This I know 'cause it's

True love

You're the one I'm dreaming of

Your heart fits me like a glove

And I'm gonna be true blue

Baby, I love you

Robin smiles at Luis, who was beaming. Jason, still standing at the bar, sees the exchange and takes another sip of his beer.

I've heard all the lines

I've cried oh so many times

Those tear drops they won't fall again

I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend

So if you should, should ever doubt

Wonder what love is all about

Just think back and remember dear

Those words whispered in your ear

I said

True love

You're the one I'm dreaming of

Your heart fits me like a glove

And I'm gonna be true blue

Baby, I love you

No more sadness, I kiss it goodbye

The sun is bursting right out of the sky

I searched the whole world for someone

Like you

Don't you know. Don't you know that it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

Luke gave Robin a loud whistle from the bar. Robin smiles over at Luke and finally sees Jason. Robin looks away and then looks back at Jason again. Jason couldn't take his eyes away from Robin. Jason felt that Robin was trying to say something to him.

So if you should, should ever doubt

Wonder what love is all about

Just think back and remember dear

Those words whispered in your ear

I said

No more sadness, I kiss it goodbye

The sun is bursting right out of the sky

I searched the whole world for someone

Like you

Don't you know. Don't you know that it's

True love

You're the one I'm dreaming of

Your heart fits me like a glove

And I'm gonna be true blue

Baby, I love you

True love

You're the one I'm dreaming of

Your heart fits me like a glove

And I'm gonna be true blue

Baby, I love you

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby

Applause broke out when Robin was finished. Jason still had his eyes on Robin. From her table, Courtney notices that Jason hasn't taken his eyes off of Robin.

Robin: Thank you. (Robin reaches for Lucky's hand) Lucky and I have known each other our entire lives. Our parents are the best of friends and that has passed down to us. We all used to get a big laugh when Lucky and I used to do this song for our parents. (Robin looks at Lucky to see if he understood and Lucky laughed.)

Lucky: Next time we do this Robin will be in leather pants. (the audience laughed. The band kicks into "You're the one that I want" Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta)

Lucky: (singing to Robin and shaking his buns. The audience whistles.)

I got chills

They're multiplying

And I'm losing control

'Cause the power you're supplying

It's electrifying!

Robin:

You better shape up

'Cause I need a man

And my heart is set on you

You better shape up

You better understand

To my heart I must be true

Nothing left

Nothing left for me to do

Robin & Lucky: (swaying with each other and singing)

You're the one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, honey

The one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, honey

The one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, the one I need

Oh, yes indeed

The audience applauds and laughs with Lucky and Robin. They look adorable dancing and singing around each other.

If you're filled

With affection

You're to shy to convey

Better take my direction

Feel your way

I better shape up

'Cause you need a man

I need a man

Who can keep me satisfied

I better shape up

If I'm gonna prove

You better prove

That my faith is justified

Are you sure

Yes I'm sure down deep inside

You're the one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, honey

The one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, honey

The one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, the one I need

Oh, yes indeed

When they were finished, the audience was on their feet clapping and whistling. Luke goes and hops on stage.

Luke: What a performance, right folk? (more cheers) We'll have to get them to come back again (Robin shakes her head) Why don't you guys kick in a tune so everyone can start dancing (the starts to play and Luke, Robin and Lucky head back to their table. People starts to move out to the dance floor.)

Liz: You guys were great.

Robin: Don't do that again Lucky.

Lucky: You had fun.

Robin: But I was so nervous.

Emily: It didn't show at all.

Robin: I'm going to get a drink. I'll be back in a minute

Mike: They're really good.

Carly: I don't know about that.

Mike: Everyone seems to think so.

Carly: If you like that sort of singing.

Sonny: It was nice to hear some local talents.

Courtney was watching Robin as Robin made her way to the bar. Robin stopped next to Jason.

Robin: Hi.

Jason: Hi.

Robin: Are you here alone?

Jason: Yes. (silence) You were good up there.

Robin: Thank you.

Jason: It's been a long time since I heard you sing. It brought back a lot of memories.

Robin: It wasn't planned.

Jason: (reached for Robin's hand) Robin, can...

Courtney: (lays her hand on Jason's arm) Jason, let's dance.

Robin: (takes her hand away) I have to get back to my friends.

Jason: Robin. (but Robin continued walking)

Courtney: Did I interrupt something?

Jason: (irritated) What do you want Courtney?

Courtney: I wanted to see if you wanted to dance?

Jason: I don't dance. (he walks away)

AJ: Actually Jason only dances with Robin.

Courtney: What?

AJ: Robin is the only one who could get Jason to dance.

Courtney: You're making a big deal out of dance, AJ.

AJ: Not when it comes to Robin. You didn't think Jason was going to give up the love of his life for you, did you? (Courtney doesn't respond. AJ laughs) I feel sorry for you Courtney.

Courtney: You're overreacting AJ. Jason is my friend, that's all.

AJ: I hope you believe that (he walks away)

Setting: PCPD Mac's office

Mac: (sees Anna walking through his office) You're back.

Anna: A few hours ago.

Mac: What did you find out?

Anna: The owner found the receipt for a phone in order. Someone came to pick up the flowers and paid for them in cash.

Mac: She couldn't id David?

Anna: I showed her David's picture. She didn't recognize him.

Mac: Did you approach David?

Anna: No. I wanted some evidence before I do.

Mac: And the divorce papers?

Anna: I got it yesterday.

Mac: Are you ok?

Anna: I'm fine. I was thinking we should have a sketch artist work with Robin.

Mac: The delivery guy.

Anna: He's probably our only link to David.

Mac: I'll make the arrangement.

Anna: I'll be in my office.

Mac: Anna, I'm here if you need to talk.

Anna: Thank you. I better go check my workload.

Mac: (sad to see Anna not opening up to him) Ok.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Sonny: This is nice.

Jason: Thanks.

Sonny: It looks like you're all moved in.

Jason: I didn't really have very much stuff.

Sonny: So, I guess this is it.

Jason: Sonny, I'm only 10 minutes away. If you need anything, I'll be there for you.

Sonny: (shakes his head) We can't make you legit and then pull you back in. Benny's been getting the word out that you're out.

Jason: Thank you.

Sonny: Do you need money?

Jason: No, I'm good.

Sonny: (a little sad) You know it takes a lot of courage to start over again. I give you a lot of credit for doing this.

Jason: You can get out too Sonny.

Sonny: Nah! I'm in it too deep. Besides what else would I do?

Jason: A lot of things.

Sonny: You sound like Robin.

Jason: (smiles a little) Yeah.

Sonny: Are things getting better for you guys?

Jason: We're civil to each other. I actually haven't seen very much of Robin.

Sonny: She doesn't know anything about this? (Jason shakes his head) You should tell her man.

Jason: I've tried. But something always comes up.

Sonny: Try harder.

Jason: You ok?

Sonny: I find myself missing Robin a lot lately. I haven't spoken to her since she found me at Lily's grave.

Jason: Someone to talk to?

Sonny: Someone to be silence with.

Jason: What about Carly?

Sonny: When was the last time you saw Carly being silence?

Jason: (nods) You're right.

Sonny: Robin always knew how to pull me out of a funk. I didn't realize you much I depended on that until now. I find myself waiting for Robin to call or drop by.

Jason: Have you try to call her?

Sonny: How can I? I'm married to the woman who tore her world apart. Every time she sees Carly, she remembers how she lost you.

Jason: You can try to make Robin understand about Carly.

Sonny: Trust is very important things to Robin. I betrayed her trust by marrying Carly.

Jason: But Robin wasn't here.

Sonny: It doesn't matter. You know in all the times that Mac cracked down on her about you and me, she never once hinges. She stood her grounds and never betrayed us. I just can't believe in that one minute I accused her of betraying you and me.

Jason: You weren't yourself Sonny.

Sonny: It's no excuse. All these years, I never try to make amends. When I sent her the first check, she sent it back to me in a different envelope. After that, the envelopes came back with unknown address. I think she was hoping that I would say something and when I didn't, she gave up.

Jason: I'm sorry that I dragged you into the middle of it.

Sonny: You didn't. I did.

Setting: Brenda's office

Brenda: (looking at the proofs) These are great Lucky.

Lucky: I thought so too.

Brenda: I like to get some these blown up for the part this week.

Lucky: No problem.

Brenda: Lucky! This is it.

Lucky: What?

Brenda: Robin first magazine layout.

Lucky: Which one? (Brenda points out the picture to Lucky) Lipstick?

Brenda: It's perfect. She has a nice little pout. Blow it up for me.

Lucky: Ok.

Julia: Hi.

Brenda: This is a surprise.

Lucky: Hi Julia.

Julia: Hi Lucky. Are those Robin's shots?

Brenda: Yes. Come and take a look.

Julia: She's beautiful.

Lucky: Robin is starting to get the hang of it. We should schedule more photo shoots.

Brenda: You think so?

Lucky: Robin is getting comfortable with the camera. She's getting bold.

Julia: She has to be in this outfit.

Brenda: She wouldn't take the robe off.

Lucky: Let me go work on these blow-ups.

Brenda: I marked the one I like to have for this week.

Lucky: See you later.

Julia: Bye Lucky.

Brenda: What's going on?

Julia: Nothing really. My calendar was empty today so I thought maybe you want to do lunch.

Brenda: Is Kelly's ok?

Julia: Sure

Setting: The warehouse

Robin was standing in front of the warehouse. She was trying to take in all details of the building. She hasn't been by since Jason finished it.

Jason: Robin?

Robin: (a little startled) Oh! Hi.

Jason: Are you ok?

Robin: Yeah, you just startle me.

Jason: What are you doing?

Robin: Looking at your building. I haven't seen it since it finished.

Jason: What do you think?

Robin: It's very clever. I like the materials that you used. It gives it that boy's playground feeling.

Jason: (smiles) All the metal beams and frames?

Robin: Yeah. It's an impressive building.

Jason: You want a tour of the inside?

Robin: I don't want to keep you.

Jason: It's no problem.

Robin: Ok. (Robin follows Jason inside the warehouse. Jason showed Robin around the warehouse including the production line and offices) I wouldn't have expected all of this from the outside.

Jason: It's a little deceptive.

Robin: But very playful. Where's your office?

Jason: I don't have one.

Robin: Why?

Jason: Because I don't work here anymore.

Robin: What? What happened?

Jason: I'm working on something else now.

Robin: Can I ask what?

Jason: Do you have time?

Robin: Time for what?

Jason: (excited) I have to show it to you.

Robin: What?

Jason: You'll see. Can you come?

Robin: I don't have to be at GH until tonight.

Jason: Ok, let's go.

Robin: Where?

Jason: (smiling) Stop asking so many questions. (Jason takes Robin's hand) Come on.

Setting: Kelly's

Brenda and Julia just ordered their food.

Brenda: I hear Jason is making a lot of strides to work for you.

Julia: He's proving that he's dedicated.

Brenda: That's Jason. But seriously, I am thrilled that he's taking this step.

Julia: Why? I thought you don't like Jason.

Brenda: Jason is not a bad guy. It's him working for Sonny that bothers me. Robin's life was in danger when they were together. Like me, Robin was really scared of getting that call to identify his body.

Julia: It must be hard to live like that.

Brenda: Robin didn't let that hang over their relationship. She accepted Jason for what he was.

Julia: Do you there's a chance for them now?

Brenda: I don't know.

Julia: Robin seems to be happy with Luis Alcazar.

Brenda: Yeah, she does but I don't think Robin loves Luis like she loved Jason.

Julia: She could learn.

Brenda: I suppose so.

Julia: Do you...

Sonny: Hello ladies.

Brenda: Hi Sonny. (Julia looks up at Sonny and looks away quickly)

Sonny: What are you ladies up to?

Brenda: Lunch? Would you like to join us?

Sonny: You don't mind? (he looks at Julia)

Julia: Not at all.

Sonny: How's the cosmetic business?

Brenda: We're getting to launch our summer campaign.

Sonny: And Julia, how's corporate world?

Julia: (trying to avoid look at Sonny) It wouldn't interest you very much.

Sonny: Try me.

Julia: We have a divisional office that needs to be office, our Hong Kong office is expanding, we have a couple of acquisitions in the pipeline, and we're closing office with low production levels.

Sonny: Sounds like you're busy.

Julia: It's called making a living, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: (smiles at Julia) It sounds like you do it very well.

Julia: (a little hostile) I have a lot of people counting on me to make the right decisions.

Sonny: I better let you get back to your lunch. Goodbye.

Brenda: Bye. What was that all about?

Julia: What?

Brenda: You practically jumped down his throat Julia.

Julia: I was being direct.

Brenda: What's going on Julia? Did Sonny do something to offend you?

Julia: What? Of course not.

Brenda: Then why the hostility?

Julia: I don't know what you're talking about?

Brenda: (looks closely at Julia) There's something going on between you and Sonny. What is it?

Julia: It's nothing.

Brenda: Ah hah! So, there is something going on.

Julia: Sonny and I had a misunderstanding, that's all.

Brenda: What kind of misunderstanding?

Julia: He kissed me on New Year's Eve.

Brenda: Come again?

Julia: We were both standing outside the club and next thing I knew, he was kissing me. (Brenda saids nothing) There's nothing between us Brenda. I would never do that to you.

Brenda: This is weird.

Julia: Please don't make anything out of it. There is really nothing. I've tried to avoid Sonny.

Brenda: So you do feel something for him?

Julia: I won't let myself.

Brenda: It's not as easy as that.

Julia: It is for me. I found you again and I won't do anything to jeopardize our relationship.

Brenda: I don't own Sonny.

Julia: No but you love him.

Brenda: No, I love Jax. I guess I never thought you would be attracting to someone like Sonny. You're so unlike each other.

Julia: I agree.

Brenda: This explains everything.

Julia: Explains what?

Brenda: Nothing. Look, if you want Sonny that's fine with me. But I do want you to seriously consider Sonny's lifestyle.

Julia: I think you're rushing things Brenda. Sonny is a married man. I'm not about to break up a family.

Brenda: Carly.

Julia: Thank you for your understanding. I would rather just the push the incident under the rug and pretend it never happened (Brenda wonders if Julia can really do that.)

Setting: Somewhere in Port Charles not too far from the GH and the dock.

Jason waits for Robin to get off the bike. He leads her to the spot and stops.

Robin: Why are we stopping?

Jason: This is it?

Robin: (looks around) What? I see a half-standing building, surrounded by wild grass.

Jason: Isn't it great?

Robin: (a little puzzle) I don't get it Jason.

Jason: Julia bought this building so she could open a divisional office. She wants me to design the building.

Robin: Really? That's great! I'm so happy for you Jason. (Robin hugs Jason)

Jason: Thank you.

Robin: Wow. You must really be excited.

Jason: I am.

Robin: When did all this happened?

Jason: (Jason and Robin walk around the area) Julia and Brenda were there for the warehouse opening. Julia offered me the job after touring the warehouse.

Robin: Julia doesn't waste time. When do you get to start?

Jason: I can't do anything until I'm out of the business.

Robin: (Robin stops walking and look at Jason) You have to get out of the business?

Jason: Yes. The business can't be linked to Barrett Enterprises.

Robin: I see. (starts walking again)

Jason: Sonny is making the arrangement for me to get out. Until I'm completely out of the business, I can't do anything. And since I don't have my license, Julia arranged for me to work for an architect firm until I get mine.

Robin: So what are you doing now?

Jason: I want to take some classes at PCU.

Robin: (stop again and look at Jason) PCU?

Jason: Julia said it would be beneficial to take a few classes before I actually start the design.

Robin: That's sounds like a good idea.

Jason: (notices the Robin was a little quiet) Robin? What's wrong?

Robin: I've hoped and dreamed that you would get out the business because I was so scared for you. Now that you are getting out, it's a little overwhelming.

Jason: I've done it before.

Robin: And you went back.

Jason: It's different this time. I know what I want to do. I know that I can do something else just as good if not better.

Robin: I never doubt that you couldn't do better.

Jason: Never. What else is bothering you?

Robin: I'm sorry it's nothing.

Jason: (turns Robin to face him) What?

Robin: I couldn't convince you to leave the business for yourself and for me. Now you're leaving the business on your own.

Jason: (understands what Robin was saying) You're the motivation.

Robin: (looks into Jason's eyes) What?

Jason: I want another chance with you Robin. This is just one of the steps that I have to take to get there.

Robin: Don't do this for me Jason.

Jason: I'm doing for me but I'm also doing it for a future I hope to have with you.

Robin: I don't know what to say.

Jason: Say that you're happy for me.

Robin: (Robin's face lights up) Oh, I am Jason. I'm very happy for you. You obviously have a lot of talent. It shouldn't be wasted.

Jason: I hope others will agree.

Robin: Julia does.

Jason: Yeah. Could I ask you a favor?

Robin: Of course.

Jason: Could you help me with registration for PCU?

Robin: (smiles) I love to.

Jason: How about now?

Robin: Ok.

Jason: How about we grab some pizza and bring it to my place?

Robin: Sounds good.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason is carrying the pizza and leading Robin to his apartment.

Robin: Why are we here?

Jason: It's where I live.

Robin: (stop short) What?

Jason: (smiles) Let's go inside and I'll explain. (unlocks the door)

Robin: (Robin walks in and look around) This is nice. What's the deal?

Jason: I live here now.

Robin: What happened to the penthouse?

Jason: The penthouse went with the business.

Robin: You're full of surprises today.

Jason: You want a tour?

Robin: Sure.

Jason: This is the kitchen. I'm sure I won't be in here often.

Robin: You have to go in to get your beer.

Jason: Right. This is going to be my working area.

Robin: (the room had a table with a computer on it. There was also a drafting table) Nice.

Jason: And this is the where I sleep.

Robin: (there was a bed in the center of the room with a nightstand next to it. On a nightstand, was a picture of them at the Nurse's Ball. Robin goes to pick up the pictures.) We look so different.

Jason: (goes to stand next to Robin) I was less than a year old.

Robin: (laughs at Jason's statement. She puts the picture down.) You need more furniture.

Jason: I have my bed. What else do I need?

Robin: What about if you want to read? Wouldn't you want to sit on a chair?

Jason: I have a chair in the office. Plus I like to read in bed. (he approaches Robin)

Robin: What about a coatrack?

Jason: I put my coat in the closet (closer to Robin)

Robin: (feeling herself responding to Jason's nearness) What does the bathroom look like? (Robin tries to go to bathroom but Jason grabs Robin's arm.)

Jason: It's not very exciting. Do you think the bed is firm enough? (Jason leads Robin to sit down on the bed with him.)

Robin: (clears her throat) Yes.

Jason: (bends his head closer to Robin) Do you think I could get a good night sleep on this bed? (Robin nods her head without taking her eyes off of Jason's lips. Jason finally leans forward and places his lips on Robin's. Jason buried his hands in Robin's hair to guide her lips deeper into his kiss. Robin can feel the tingle moving down her spine from Jason's kiss and touch. Jason shook loose Robin's hair and it flowed down her back. Jason continues to deepen the kiss further. Robin felt herself leaning further into Jason's embrace. Jason slowly guides Robin's body down on the bed without breaking the kiss. Jason can feel himself losing control. His hand reached forward to touch Robin's throat and Robin moans feeling Jason's caress. Jason gathers Robin more into his arms and partially covered her body with his. Jason's hands continue to travel up and down Robin's body, with ragged breath he said Robin's name.) Robin...

Robin: (softly) Jason. (Jason kissed Robin deeper. Robin's arms come around Jason's body to hold him tightly to her. Jason felt so enraptured being in Robin's arms. Suddenly Robin broke the kiss and sit up.)

Jason: (catching his breath) What's wrong?

Robin: (flustered from the passion that Jason was igniting) I think the bed is fine.

Jason: (smiling at Robin's shyness) Are you sure?

Robin: (gets off the bed. She needed to place some space between her and Jason) Yes. I'm hungry. (She rushes out the bedroom, Jason shook his head smiling but follows Robin out.)

Jason: (seeing that Robin was a little embarrassed) You want a soda?

Robin: (nods her head quickly) Yes.

Jason: (smiles at Robin's nervousness) I'll be right back. Here you go.

Robin: (sat down on the floor farthest away from Jason) Thank you.

Jason: I don't bite.

Robin: (refuses to look at Jason) I know.

Jason: (hands Robin a pizza) So what's your recommendation?

Robin: (her nerves haven't completely calmed down) Recommend it for what?

Jason: Classes for PCU.

Robin: Oh. I thought you were talking about...

Jason: About what?

Robin: Forget it. Do you have a PCU catalog?

Jason: Yeah, it's right here. (hands Robin the catalog. The rest of night went off pretty well. Jason didn't try to make another pass at Robin, which Robin was really grateful. She didn't know how much more she could handle. Robin pointed out several classes that she thought would be interested. She went over the registration process with Jason and which counselor to talk to. As it was getting close to Robin's shift at the GH, Jason drove her to GH. Before Robin got out of the car Jason gave her another tender kiss.)

The Deception launch party is finally here. Robin has been very busy with the hospital. Monica had let Robin do another surgery. Monica was very impressed with Robin's calmness and skill. Robin on the other was so nervous about the press conference that she practically sleeps at the hospital to keep herself from thinking about it. She hasn't seen Jason since the day she went to his apartment. She wanted to put some distance between them since all that happened. She was so lost in Jason's arms that night. One more second and she would have in his bed. It would be so easy for her to get caught in Jason again. She didn't want that to happen. Robin has decided that she has to keep her mind clear when she's around Jason. It was easy for him to distract her. On the other hand, Luis has been great. He's brought her dinner every night. He hasn't pressured Robin about their relationship. Robin does wonder how long Luis would wait for her.

Anna: (knocks on Robin's door) Robin?

Robin: (standing at the full length mirror) Come in.

Anna: You look beautiful darling.

Robin: Thank you. I almost don't recognize myself.

Anna: A little nervous?

Robin: A lot.

Anna: You'll do great.

Robin: That's a very nice dress you have on.

Anna: Thank you.

Robin: You are going with Uncle Mac, right?

Anna: Yes. Why do you ask?

Robin: Something is off between you since you came back from Pine Valley.

Anna: I guess you could say that.

Robin: What is it? You know you can tell Uncle Mac anything.

Anna: He knows.

Robin: Then what's wrong?

Anna: There's nothing he can do.

Robin: I don't understand Mom.

Anna: I know. I can't explain right now.

Mac: Robin, the limo is downstairs.

Robin: Ok.

Mac: You look beautiful.

Robin: Thank you. You are coming right?

Mac: We'll be right behind you.

Robin: Ok. See you there

Mac: She's all grown-up.

Anna: (goes to Mac) You are a big factor in that.

Mac: I've always tried to do right by you and Robert.

Anna: You have. Robin is a successful person, personally and professionally. I can't ask for more.

Mac: We better go.

Setting: Port Charles hotel

Brenda and Jax are outside the hotel waiting for Robin to arrive.

Brenda: Jax, where is she?

Jax: She's on her way.

Brenda: Please let her be on the way. You don't think the hospital called her, do you?

Jax: (smiles) Brenda, calm down. Mac said Robin left 15 minute ago.

Brenda: Ugh! I can't stand this waiting.

Jax: (just then the limo pulled up) She's here.

Brenda: Yes!

Robin: (Jax helps Robin out the limo) Hi.

Jax: You look beautiful.

Robin: Thank you.

Brenda: Let me look at you. You are beautiful. You okay?

Robin: I think so.

Brenda: Let's go in. (she takes Robin's hand)

Robin: Wait. Is Luis in there?

Brenda: I think so.

Robin: Will you check for me?

Jax: I'll go check for you.

Robin: (anxiety washes over her) Thank you Jax.

Brenda: Hey, are you okay?

Robin: (taking short breaths) I just need to breathe.

Brenda: (worried watching Robin) We don't have to do this Robin.

Robin: No, I'm fine. Just give me a minute. (trying to slow her breath)

Brenda: (frowns at Robin's discomfort) Robin, are you...

Luis: (comes walking out with Jax. He's sees Robin and rushes to her.) You didn't have to hyperventilate to have me come out and get you.

Robin: (tries to smile) You came.

Luis: (takes Robin's hand and takes a few steps) Did Monica lined you up for more surgeries?

Robin: (slowly exhale and inhale) I have 2 for next week. (Brenda and Jax watch Luis try to calm Robin down.)

Luis: Anything interesting?

Robin: One of the patients had a slight blood clog.

Luis: Sounds painful

Robin: (Robin was breathing normally again) It's supposed to be a very intricate surgery. I'm a little nervous about it.

Luis: (nods to Brenda and Jax) Do you want to go inside now?

Robin: I'm ready now.

Brenda: (squeeze Robin's hand in hers) You are going to be great. We'll be with you the whole time. Jax is going to make the speech and then he'll introduce me. I'll talk about the future campaigns and then I'll introduce you. Luis will escort you out onstage.

Robin: I understand.

Brenda: Ready?

Robin: Yup!

Inside the ballroom was filled with flowers and balloons. Everyone in Port Charles was there. Music was playing in the background. Jax goes to the podium.

Jax: Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention (the crowd quiets down) Thank you for coming tonight. As you all know, Jacks Corporation bought Deception about 6 months ago. It was a big step for Jacks Corporation. But I believe it's a smart step. Deception is a company founded and operated in Port Charles. A lot of us, in one way or another have ties to this company. Jacks Corporation will continue to maintain the high standard and class act required of Deception. Since, I have no clue about cosmetics, Deception's creative aspect is being operated by Ms. Brenda Barrett (claps.) Ladies and Gentlemen, Brenda Barrett.

Brenda: Thank you. Deception has always been a leader in the cosmetic world. Our customers have come to expect the newest and freshest ideas. And this year is no different. Before I introduce the new face of Deception, I like to briefly discuss our new lines and campaign. The summer and fall lines are very progressive. The colors are unexpected. The textures are new. Our ad campaign will reflect this. We will strive to bring Deception products into anyone and everyone's lives. Deception products will not be only for the young and the beautiful but for everyone. The new face of Deception will be the face that everyone sees when they look in the mirror (applause) May I present the face of Deception, Robin Scorpio Cates (applause and surprise fills the room. Pictures of Robin unrolled along the wall with lights shinning at it. Jason was standing next to Sonny and both were so surprise. Jason looks intently at the pictures of Robin lined along the wall. Everyone's eyes return to the stage as Luis escorts Robin out. Newspapers and photographers were busy snapping pictures at Robin) Robin will answer a few questions.

Newspaper #1: Is this your first modeling job, Ms. Cates.

Robin: Yes, it is.

Newspaper #2: Are you not the Robin Scorpio, who is the niece of Port Charles' commissioner?

Robin: Mac Scorpio is my uncle.

Newspaper #3: Then you are the same person who has HIV? (there's a hush in the room)

Robin: (in a steady voice) Yes I am the same person.

Newspaper #4: What kind of message are you trying to send?

Robin: This opportunity was presented to me, Robin Scorpio Cates not Robin Scorpio Cates, HIV. HIV does not control my life. I live, breathe, and dream like any other individual. If there's a message, then it's a message for everyone. Dream as big as you can because you never know who might be there to help you make it come true (applause and cheers broke out.)

Jax: Thank you everyone. Enjoy the party.

Sonny: Did you know anything about this?

Jason: I didn't know it was going to be this big.

Sonny: I can't believe our Robin is a model. She's beautiful.

Jason: (still looking at Robin onstage. Photographers were still busying snapping pictures at Robin. She was beautiful and calm.) Brenda didn't say anything to you?

Sonny: She just said it was an important night for Robin.

Jason: I'm glad you're here. (Jason spots Carly by the door, who was looking mad as hell) Carly is here.

Sonny: What? (Jason nods over to the door) I better go get her.

Jason: I'll be here

Sonny: What are you doing here Carly?

Carly: (angry) You don't want me here?

Sonny: Not if you're going to cause a scene.

Carly: I can't believe all this is for her.

Sonny: Carly.

Carly: What? I don't understand what you all see in her. Gia is tens times prettier than her.

Sonny: Are you going to stay?

Carly: I can't believe you tried to hide this from me. Do you have any respect for me?

Sonny: Respect? What do you know of that word Carly? Respect comes from earning it and you haven't earned it.

Carly: How can you say that?

Sonny: You disrespect me every time you cause a scene or a fight. In the business, respect is the only thing that keeps me alive.

Carly: (taken back by Sonny's words) I respect you Sonny.

Sonny: Then prove it. Be an adult for once. I'm going to go get a drink. (Sonny walks off and Carly follows.)

Brenda: You did great.

Robin: I wasn't sure there for a minutes.

Brenda: You handled him with grace and class.

Robin: Thank you.

Brenda: Can I get you anything?

Robin: No, I'm fine. I'm going to see Mom and Uncle Mac.

Brenda: Ok, have fun. The hard part is over.

Robin: See you. (As Robin was making her way to Mac and Anna, people stopped her to congratulate her.)

Mac: You sure are something.

Robin: Think I wasn't too abrupt?

Anna: You were a Scorpio.

Robin: Are you having a good time?

Anna: Fantastic.

Mac: Robin, some of these shots of you are...

Robin: I know. I can't believe that's me either.

Anna: I think they're nice.

Robin: Oh, Mom. Why aren't you guys dancing?

Anna: Mac hasn't asked.

Mac: (smiles) May I? (Holds out his hand to Anna)

Robin: Have fun (she watches Mac and Anna walk off)

Jason: (softly) You are beautiful.

Robin: (turns toward Jason) Hi.

Jason: You've been keeping secrets also.

Robin: I was a little embarrassed.

Jason: You don't have to be. (looks around at her pictures) I need one of those of my wall. (Jason spots the picture of Robin in the provocative outfit.) That one.

Robin: (knew exactly which one Jason was looking at) Stop looking at it Jason.

Jason: It's kind of hard not to.

Robin: Please.

Jason: (his eyes land back on Robin) The real thing is more breathtaking.

Robin: (Robin blushes) Are you having a good time?

Jason: With you.

Robin: Will you stay awhile longer?

Jason: If you want me to.

Robin: (nods her head) I want you to. (her eyes lands at the door. She broke into a wide smile and rushed to the door. She throws herself in his arms.) Jagger! What are you doing here?

Jagger: You don't want me here?

Robin: (pulls back a little) How did you know?

Jagger: A little bird told me.

Robin: Brenda.

Jagger: (nods) Let me take a look at you. You are beautiful.

Robin: Thank you. How long are you here for?

Jagger: Just a couple of days.

Robin: You came here just for me?

Jagger: I wouldn't miss your big day for anything.

Robin: I'm so happy to see you.

Sonny: (coming to stand by Jason) Jagger is back?

Jason: (a little bewildered) Jagger?

Sonny: Stone's brother.

Jason: I thought he looks familiar.

Sonny: Robin looks happy to see him.

Jason: She rushed right over when she saw him.

Luis: (coming to stand her to Robin) Robin.

Robin: Luis, I want you to meet someone. Jagger Cates, this is Luis Alcazar. Luis this is Jagger.

Luis: (shakes Jagger's hand) Nice to meet you.

Jagger: You too.

Luis: Robin, I have an emergency I have to tend to.

Robin: Is everything ok?

Luis: I think so. I'll swing back to pick you up.

Robin: You don't have to do that. The limo will drop me home.

Luis: I can't do that.

Jagger: I'll take her home for you.

Luis: (smiles) Thank you. You were magnificent tonight Robin. (he gives Robin a light peck on the lips.)

Robin: Bye

Jagger: Luis huh?

Robin: (smiles) Don't start. I'll tell you later. Let's go find Brenda.

Anna: This is nice.

Mac: Yes.

Anna: Mac, I'm sorry I've been distanced.

Mac: Why?

Anna: This whole thing with David has really gotten under my skin.

Mac: Anna, you are not responsible.

Anna: (looking into Mac's eyes) You always know the right thing to say.

Mac: Because it's correct.

Anna: Robin could have died.

Mac: We don't know that David is responsible for the accident.

Anna: I wished it were that easy.

Mac: Let's not think about it tonight. Robin is safe and happy.

Anna: Yes. (Anna leans forward to kiss Mac)

Brenda: Look who's here.

Jagger: Hi Brenda. (he gives Brenda a kiss on the cheek) Hi Jax.

Jax: Hi Jagger.

Robin: I can't believe you called Jagger.

Brenda: I wanted to surprise you.

Robin: You did.

Jagger: I say so. I think I got whiplashed from the hug you gave me.

Robin: You're tough.

Jax: How long are you going to be in town for?

Jagger: Just a few days.

Brenda: That's it?

Jagger: My caseload is packed.

Robin: Well, I'm glad you're here even if it's only for a few days.

Jagger: I need to find a place to stay for a few days.

Jax: I'll make arrangement for you to stay at the Port Charles Hotel.

Jagger: No.

Brenda: Yes. It's business.

Jagger: Ok, thank you.

Sonny: (at the bar) Are you having a good time?

Julia: Yes. You?

Sonny: It's a nice party. Why aren't you dancing?

Julia: Not in the mood.

Sonny: Maybe you just need the right partner.

Julia: Sonny, don't. I told Brenda about us.

Sonny: Us?

Julia: About what happened at New Year's Eve.

Sonny: What did she say?

Julia: Nothing actually.

Sonny: So, what's the problem?

Julia: This can't go anywhere.

Sonny: How do you know?

Julia: You're married Sonny. We're 2 different people, from 2 very different worlds. It can't work.

Sonny: We haven't even tried.

Julia: Are you saying you want to leave your family? (Sonny doesn't say anything)

Carly: (comes up and put her arms around Sonny) Sonny, can we leave now?

Sonny: Yeah, if you want to. (he looks at Julia, who doesn't say anything) Bye Julia. (Sonny and Carly make their way to the door when Sonny spots Robin with Jagger, Brenda and Jax) Wait, I need to do something.

Carly: What?

Sonny: Come if you want or stay here.

Carly: (seeing the direction of Sonny walking to) I'm coming.

Sonny: Robin, I just wanted to say congratulation.

Robin: (smiles at Sonny) Thank you for coming.

Sonny: Hi Jagger. (Jagger disapprovingly nods his head to Sonny) You are a great Deception model. (Carly rolls her eyes.)

Robin: Are you leaving?

Sonny: Yes.

Robin: Ok. Bye.

Sonny: Bye.

Jax: I didn't expect him to be here tonight.

Brenda: It's an important night for Robin.

Jax: Sonny is not a part of Robin's life anymore.

Robin: Don't start fighting about Sonny.

Jagger: They sound like an old married couple.

Brenda: (hits Jagger on the arm) Hey!

Emily: (sitting at the table with Nicholas) Robin looks really happy.

Nicholas: Yes, she does. How's school coming along?

Emily: Busy. Finals are coming up.

Nicholas: Any plans for summer?

Emily: I haven't made any. I'll probably take more classes.

Nicholas: You're not planning on going anywhere?

Emily: It's no fun by myself.

Nicholas: How about Liz?

Emily: Lucky can't leave and Liz doesn't want to go without Lucky.

Nicholas: How about I go with you?

Emily: (definitely got Emily's attention) What did you say?

Nicholas: I can go with you. Where do you want to go?

Emily: why would you want to go with me?

Nicholas: Why not? We get along, we have fun together and you needed someone to go with you.

Emily: I don't know.

Nicholas: It'll be fun. I've been wanting to get away also. What do you say?

Emily: Where do you want to go?

Nicholas: Someplace we both haven't been before.

Emily: I haven't been to Brazil, Africa, Asia, Australia.

Nicholas: I haven't been to Australia either. It's perfect. We have the mountains and the water.

Emily: I heard the water is so blue and reefs are beautiful.

Nicholas: Not the mention the sharks

Liz: (dancing with Lucky) They're finally talking to each other.

Lucky: It's about time.

Liz: Lucky!

Lucky: What? They've both been dancing around each other for too long.

Liz: They had their reasons.

Lucky: From the way they're laughing, there's no more reasons now.

Liz: This party is a success.

Lucky: Yeah. We're suppose to head to the city for a photo shoot. Want to come?

Liz: Really? When?

Lucky: The end of next week. We could take in a show or something.

Liz: That's sound really great.

Ned: Were you surprise with all of this?

Alexis: Robin asked me to look over the contract.

AJ: And you didn't say anything?

Alexis: Something to do with client confidentiality.

AJ: But this is Robin.

Alexis: No difference.

Ned: These pictures of Robin look great.

Alexis: I agree. AJ, how have the visits with Michael going.

AJ: He's a lot more comfortable with me. He gives hug before he leaves.

Alexis: That's progress.

AJ: When will we hear from the judge?

Alexis: I would say soon. But we might have issues since you and Courtney are separated.

AJ: It shouldn't make a difference or not if I'm married.

Alexis: No but our case was a stable and safe family for Michael.

AJ: You're not saying that I blew my case are you?

Alexis: Not at all. But I do think we should try to get joint custody instead of full custody.

AJ: I don't want to take Michael away from his mother, even if she's Carly.

Ned: You've come a long way AJ.

Courtney: (approaches the table) AJ, may I speak to you?

AJ: Sure. (he gets up from the table) What's going on?

Courtney: You want to dance?

AJ: Ok.

Courtney: You moved your stuff out.

AJ: I didn't see the point of leaving it there.

Courtney: Where are you staying?

AJ: I got a place in the same building as Alexis and Ned.

Courtney: AJ, this thing with Jason is nothing. Jason is my friend, that's all.

AJ: But you want more.

Courtney: No.

AJ: Be honest Courtney. If Robin weren't here, would you really be dancing with me right now?

Courtney: It's not as simple as that.

AJ: It actually is.

Robin was sitting at a table by herself and looking out at the dance floor. It's the first moment all night that she had some time to herself. Robin can't quite believe all this is happening.

Jason: Hi.

Robin: (smiling) Hello. You want to sit down?

Jason: (sits down) Why are you by yourself?

Robin: I needed a break.

Jason: Is all of this overwhelming?

Robin: Yes. I almost can't believe it's happening.

Jason: Would you like to dance?

Robin: Dance? (Jason holds out his hand to Robin) Ok. (Jason leads Robin out to the dance floor. He guides Robin into his arms and they sway softly together.)

Jason: It's been a long time.

Robin: (feeling content in Jason's arms) Yes, it has.

Courtney noticed Jason dancing with Robin. She could see how happy Jason looks dancing. AJ noticed Courtney's stare.

AJ: They make a striking couple

Courtney: Who?

AJ: Jason and Robin.

Courtney: I guess so.

AJ: Look Courtney, I told you I'm not going to stop you. If you want Jason, go after him.

Courtney: AJ, I never said I wanted Jason.

AJ: Your eyes and your body language said it all. Listen, I have a tough battle ahead of me. I had hope that you wanted a life with Michael and me. Since you don't, it's fine. I just can't afford get involve in anything that would hurt my chances with Michael.

Courtney: I would never do anything like that.

AJ: I hope not. Look, no bad feelings.

Courtney: AJ...

AJ: I have to go. (he walks off leaving Courtney by herself. Courtney eyes landed on Jason and Robin.)

Robin: Thank you for coming tonight.

Jason: Your welcome.

Robin: Is all this too much for you?

Jason: You're here.

Robin: Did you register for PCU?

Jason: Yes. Classes start in 2 weeks.

Robin: Nervous?

Jason: Not really. So Jagger is here.

Robin: Just for a couple of days.

Jason: You want him to stay longer?

Robin: Yes. I've missed him. But I understand he has a job to get back to.

Jason: I have to head out of town for a few days.

Robin: Why? (Recognizes her blunder) Sorry, old habits.

Jason: (smiles) Julia wants me to visit some of the other offices to get a feel of the company and people.

Robin: Where are you going?

Jason: Boston, London, Paris, and LA.

Robin: Wow. It looks like you're going to be busy.

Jason: I should be back before my classes start. Will you have dinner with me before I leave?

Robin: (stops dancing and look up a Jason) Dinner?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: I don't know.

Jason: Think about it and call me.

Robin: When do you leave?

Jason: The day after tomorrow.

Robin: Jason, I don't...

Jason: (placed a finger over Robin's lips) Think about it later. Let's just dance for now. (Robin nods and they continue dancing with each other while a very jealous Courtney looks on.)

Setting: Kelly's

Jagger: Should I address you as doctor now?

Robin: (laughing) You better not. I wish I didn't have to work today.

Jagger: I'll be around for a couple of more days.

Robin: How's the Port Charles suite?

Jagger: Too fancy for me. I'm more suited for Motel6 or Holiday Inn Express.

Robin: The job?

Jagger: Mostly.

Robin: Are you happy, Jagger?

Jagger: Happy as I can be.

Robin: Anyone special?

Jagger: Not really. So, what's going on between you and Jason?

Robin: Nothing.

Jagger: That came out rather quickly.

Robin: I guess we're cordial toward each other.

Jagger: It looks more than cordial to me.

Robin: (smiles a little) Ok, more than cordial.

Jagger: Are you thinking of getting back together with Jason?

Robin: I don't think so. We're very different people now.

Jagger: But you're still attracted to him.

Robin: It's hard not to be.

Jagger: Nothing more than physical attraction?

Robin: (thinks for a moment) I don't know if I'm ready for more.

Jagger: And how does Luis fit into this picture?

Robin: Luis has been very good to me. I care a lot for Luis.

Jagger: But you're not attracted to him?

Robin: I am but it's not as intense I guess.

Jagger: Well, this is interesting.

Robin: (a little embarrassed about her admission) Luis is patient. I like being with him.

Jagger: You should enjoy yourself. There's no rush for you to settle down with anyone.

Robin: Are you advising me to play the field?

Jagger: (broke into a grin) Why not? You're young and beautiful. Have fun.

Robin: Jagger! (Just then Carly walks in. She sees Robin sitting with Jagger. Carly goes to counter. She gives Jagger another look. But Jagger didn't pay her any attention.)

Courtney: Can I help you Carly?

Carly: Not really. (still looking in Jagger's direction) He's a nice looking piece.

Courtney: Who?

Carly: The guy with the Saint.

Courtney: (looks over to Robin's table) Oh.

Carly: Why does she seem to know all the nice looking ones?

Courtney: She is a model.

Carly: She's nothing. You're twice as better looking than her.

Courtney: You think so?

Carly: Yeah. (still looking at Jagger) I wonder what's his story.

Jagger: What's the deal with her? (Jagger noticed Carly looking at him.)

Robin: You mean Carly? I'm surprise she hasn't made a scene.

Jagger: Is it that bad?

Robin: She usually strikes every chance she gets. (looks at her watch) I have to go.

Jagger: I'll meet you at GH later.

Robin: Are you sure?

Jagger: You can give me a tour.

Robin: Deal. (Robin gives Jagger a hug and leaves.)

Carly: (sees Robin leaves, she heads over to Jagger's table) Mind if I sit down?

Jagger: Did you want something?

Carly: (sits down anyway) You are Jagger Cates, correct?

Jagger: Who's asking?

Carly: I'm Carly, Sonny Corinthos's wife. Your brother was very important to...

Jagger: I know my brother's relationship with Corinthos.

Carly: You don't approve.

Jagger: Why would I approve? Corinthos is a criminal. He recruited my brother when he was vulnerable.

Carly: You are speaking about my husband.

Jagger: Don't be so proud of that. His last wife was blown up to pieces. Brenda was shot down when she was in the shower.

Carly: (taken back) Those were different circumstances.

Jagger: Whatever you say.

Carly: Why are you in town?

Jagger: None of your business.

Carly: It's just a friendly question.

Jagger: There's nothing friendly about you. I know who you are, Carly Corinthos, Carly Benson...Roberts. You usually are after something. What?

Carly: Nothing.

Jagger: Then you're wasting my time.

Carly: (mad at being dismissed by Jagger) You would rather spend it with Robin Scorpio.

Jagger: (grabs for Carly's wrist) Don't ever say Robin Scorpio's name in front of me. You are not worthy to speak her name. (Jagger throws some bills on the table and leaves abruptly.)

Courtney: Are you ok?

Carly: (rubbing her wrist) Yeah, I'm fine.

Courtney: What was that about?

Carly: I guess I ruffled his feathers (trying to hide her embarrassment.)

Setting: Alexis and Ned's place

Alexis: (opens the door) Hi AJ.

AJ: I came as soon as I could.

Alexis: The courthouse clerk dropped this by. (she hands AJ a paper)

AJ: (reads the document) We're going to trial.

Alexis: Yes.

AJ: (happy and laughing) We're going to trial Alexis. Thank you.

Alexis: Your welcome. But don't celebrate just yet. We still have work to do.

AJ: I didn't even expect us to get this far.

Alexis: Are you ready for trial?

AJ: You bet.

Alexis: What about Courtney?

AJ: What about her?

Alexis: Can we rely on her to testify for you?

AJ: I'll talk to her. But I think so.

Alexis: Work on her AJ. We need all the help we can get.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly just got off the elevator and was walking toward the door.

Johnny: The courthouse clerk dropped these off. (hands Carly the envelope)

Carly: When?

Johnny: An hour ago.

Carly: (opens the envelope and start reading) NO! This can't be happening.

Johnny: (rushed back inside the penthouse) Mrs. Corinthos, are you alright?

Carly: Where's Sonny?

Johnny: At a meeting.

Carly: Get him here, now! (Johnny walks out. Carly picks up the phone and starts dial. The phone just rings) Damn Jason, where are you?

Setting: Kelly's

AJ: Hi Courtney.

Courtney: AJ. Can I get you anything?

AJ: No. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Courtney: Sure. What is it?

AJ: The judge is granting us a court date for Michael's custody.

Courtney: That's great AJ. You must be so happy.

AJ: I am but the battle isn't over.

Courtney: What do you mean?

AJ: The judge still has to decide if I'm capable of taking care of Michael.

Courtney: But you are. You're great with Michael.

AJ: Courtney, can I count on you on testifying for me?

Courtney: Of course AJ. I said I would help you and I will.

AJ: I wasn't sure with all that's going on between us.

Courtney: We need to talk about that.

AJ: We will but not now. I need to concentrate on getting Michael.

Courtney: I won't let you down.

AJ: Thank you Courtney. I have to head back to work.

Courtney: Ok, bye.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason: (opens the door to Julia) Hi.

Julia: I wanted to drop off your plane tickets.

Jason: You didn't have to.

Julia: I also wanted to talk to you.

Jason: What is it?

Julia: I know you're giving up a lot.

Jason: It was my choice.

Julia: And I hope that you know you're making the right choice. I see a lot of potential in you Jason.

Jason: Thank you.

Julia: The paperwork for the building should be done when you get back from your trip. How are things with Sonny?

Jason: It's almost finished.

Julia: Good and your classes?

Jason: Start in 2 weeks.

Julia: Once all ties with Sonny's business have been cut then you can start at the firm. We should try to have the initial design for the building by the mid-summer. I like construction to start early fall, the latest.

Jason: Ok.

Julia: The firm will set you up with an assistant to help with your paperwork and errands. Make good use of the person. Your schedule will be tight split between school and the firm.

Jason: Use my assistant.

Julia: (smiles at Jason's demeanor) I know I'm spilling orders at you.

Jason: I appreciate your input.

Julia: Just let me know when I get too much.

Jason: I will.

Julia: How are you with money?

Jason: I'm fine.

Julia: Ok, I think that's it. Have a good trip. If you need anything, you can call me or my assistant.

Jason: I will. Thank you. (he walks Julia to the door)

Julia: Bye Jason.

Jason: Bye. (Jason goes back inside and reached for the phone) Robin Scorpio please.

Nurse: She's with a patient.

Jason: Could you ask her to call Jason Morgan?

Nurse: Dr. Scorpio won't be able to return your call until after surgery.

Jason: When will that be?

Nurse: Around 8:00.

Jason: (disappointed) No message then. Thank you. (he hangs up. He was hoping to see Robin before he left tomorrow morning.)

Setting: GH

Jagger: This place hasn't change much.

Robin: Yes. Thank you for coming by now. I have to head into surgery in an hour.

Jagger: No problem. Are you hungry?

Robin: I'm always hungry.

Jagger: Cafeteria okay?

Robin: Sure. So what did you do today?

Jagger: I just rode around the Port Charles, taking in the scenery.

Robin: A lot has changed.

Jagger: Yes and some remained the same like Kelly's and this place.

Robin: That's why I love this city so much. Did you visit Gina?

Jagger: She was out of town.

Robin: She'll be disappointed that she missed you.

Jagger: (they reached the cafeteria) Cafeteria food looks good as ever.

Robin: (laughs) Definitely didn't change.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly: What took you so long?

Sonny: I had business to attend to. What's going on?

Carly: The judge is granting AJ a trial for Michael's custody.

Sonny: What?

Carly: Here. (hands Sonny the papers) it's all there. You said it would never get this far. (hysterical) What are we suppose to do now?

Sonny: I need to make some calls.

Carly: (snaps) Do something! I'm not going to lose Michael.

Sonny: Calm down.

Carly: Calm? How do you expect me to be calm? We might lose Michael. Do you even care?

Sonny: This is not helping. AJ wants us to get riled up. You're playing right into his hand.

Carly: What then?

Sonny: I need to make some calls. Can you stay out of trouble until then?

Carly: Fine! (She walks up the stairs)

At around midnight, Robin opened the door to Mac's house. She was exhausted. There were unexpected complications with the surgery. It was touch and go there for a minute for the patient. But Robin and Monica worked hard to save the patient. Robin stayed with the patient after the surgery to make sure there was no complication or infection. Monica finally sent her home when the patient woke up. Robin head up the stairs wanting a shower. Robin stood under the shower letting the water relax her when she suddenly remembered about Jason. Robin rushes out of the shower quickly and heads for the phone. Robin notices the time and didn't know if she should call. Robin dials Jason's number. It rings a couple of time and the machine picks up.

Robin: (disappointed at not catching Jason) Hi, it's Robin. I'm sorry...

Jason: Robin?

Robin: Hi.

Jason: Hi.

Robin: Did I wake you?

Jason: I couldn't sleep.

Robin: I'm sorry for calling so late. I just got back from the hospital.

Jason: You sound tired.

Robin: I am.

Jason: Why don't you get some sleep?

Robin: I will. Are you all set for your trip?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: Say hi to the bridges in Paris for me.

Jason: I will.

Robin: Well, have a good trip. I'll talk to you when you get back.

Jason: Ok. Goodnight

Robin: Goodnight Jason. (Jason waits for Robin to hang up. Jason was smiling as he hung up. He was looking forward to his trip now)

Setting: PCPD Mac's office, next day

Jagger: Hi Mac.

Mac: Jagger. (coming around his desk to shake Jagger's hand) how have you been?

Jagger: Fine, busy being a detective.

Mac: I heard good things about your work.

Jagger: I had a lot of help.

Mac: What are you doing here?

Jagger: I was in the neighborhood.

Anna: (walking in reading some papers) Mac, what do you make of this?

Mac: Anna, there's someone I like you to meet.

Anna: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

Mac: No problem. Anna Scorpio, Jagger Cates.

Jagger: (extends his hand to shake Anna's) Robin's mom?

Anna: Yes. You're Stone's brother.

Jagger: Yes.

Anna: It's nice to meet you.

Jagger: Likewise. You're also on the force?

Mac: Anna is head of the Investigation division.

Jagger: Law enforcement run in the family.

Anna: It did skip one.

Jagger: (smiling) Robin.

Anna: You've seen Robin?

Jagger: I came for her launch party. I was Brenda's surprise.

Anna: That was nice of you. How long are you staying in town for?

Jagger: Just a few more days. I have to head back.

Mac: Jagger is a detective with the Chicago PD.

Taggert: Commissioner, we got something on Robin's accident.

Jagger: Robin's accident?

Tagger: Sorry to interrupt.

Mac: Detective Taggert, this is Detective Jagger. Jagger is an old family friend. Robin was run off the road a little over a month ago.

Jagger: Who?

Mac: We haven't had very much to go on. What do you have Taggert?

Taggert: I did some legwork and checked all the body shops in Port Charles and surrounding cities. Most the body shops had numerous rear-end and front-bender jobs. But a shop about 5 miles outside of Port Charles had a car sold to them with a front-bender. It's a Mercedes SLK 320.

Mac: What about it?

Taggert: It's registered to Carly Corinthos.

Anna: Carly?

Taggert: Transfer of ownership was dated on March 10.

Anna: I was expecting a bigger car.

Jagger: What kind of damage did the Mercedes have?

Taggert: The owner said he replaced the front bumper and driver-side fender. Here some pictures of the car before it was repaired (hands Mac the pictures)

Mac: (looking at the pictures) The damages are in the correct places. Sonny probably had the car reworked with bulletproof doors and windows.

Anna: We still don't know if Carly was driving.

Jagger: But we have enough evidence to bring Carly in for questioning.

Mac: Agreed. Taggert, could you pick up Carly?

Taggert: My pleasure.

Jagger: Mind if I join you?

Taggert: Not at all.

Jagger: I'll see you in a bit. (Taggert and Jagger leave)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Johnny: Detective Taggert (Taggert and Jagger walk)

Sonny: What can I do for you detective?

Taggert: We're here to speak to Carly Corinthos.

Sonny: Why?

Taggert: Where is she?

Carly: (strolling out from the kitchen) Sonny, I need...

Sonny: We have company.

Taggert: Mrs. Corinthos, we need you to come down the precinct with us.

Carly: What?

Sonny: What's going on?

Taggert: We have new evidence that we need to discuss with Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: What kind of evidence?

Taggert: The commissioner will explain when you're there.

Sonny: Is this another of your harassment Taggert.

Jagger: This is no harassment. We can do it the easy way or the hard way Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: Is this about the other day?

Jagger: (Taggert and Sonny look between Carly and Jagger) This is official matter. Are you going to come on your own or must we get a subpoena?

Carly: You better not be wasting my time.

Taggert: Our time is just as important Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: Fine, let's go.

Sonny: I'll be right behind with the lawyer.

Taggert: You do that Mr. Corinthos.

Setting: PCPD Interrogation room

Taggert: Have seat Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: You can stop calling me that.

Taggert: Are you not Mrs. Corinthos anymore?

Carly: You know damn well that I am.

Taggert: Then I don't see a problem.

Jagger: Can we get you anything?

Carly: I wouldn't take anything from you.

Jaggert: How fast our tune changes.

Mac: (walking into the room) Thank you for coming.

Carly: I didn't really have a choice.

Mac: Do you want to wait for your lawyer?

Carly: What is this about?

Mac: Do you want your lawyer for the questioning?

Carly: Yes.

Mac: Jagger, could you check to see if Mrs. Corinthos lawyer is here?

Jagger: No problem.

Carly: How is that darling Saint niece of yours?

Mac: This isn't a social visit.

Carly: Could have fooled me.

Jagger: Commissioner Mrs. Corinthos's lawyer.

Ric: I'm Ric Lansing, representing Mrs. Corinthos. Would you mind telling me why you've dragged my client down here?

Taggert: First of all, we didn't drag her anywhere.

Ric: Excuse me, misuse of words.

Mac: On March 9, 2003 Robin Scorpio's car was pushed of Highway 13. On March 14, we went to Mrs. Corinthos' residence to ask her some routine questions regarding her whereabouts.

Ric: Why did you approach my client?

Mac: Your client has had a history with the victim. I can provide you a list of other people the department questioned if there's any issue.

Ric: That won't be necessary. Please continue.

Mac: During the questioning, Mrs. Corinthos had stated that she didn't remember if she was with anyone at the time of the incident and that she didn't remember if she drove herself on the day of the incident. New evidences have come to our attention that indicates that Mrs. Corinthos held back information.

Ric: What do you want to know commissioner?

Mac: I'm giving your client another chance to answer my questions.

Ric: My client will cooperate.

Mac: Mrs. Corinthos, where were you on March 9, 2003 at 6:30pm?

Ric: Please answer Carly.

Carly: I don't remember.

Mac: Were you with friends, family, shopping?

Carly: I don't remember.

Mac: Did you drive yourself?

Carly: Carlos usually drives me around.

Mac: Then you did not drive yourself on the day in question?

Carly: No.

Mac: Have you been in any accidents lately Mrs. Corinthos?

Carly: Not that I remember.

Mac: Are you the owner of a black Mercedes SLK 320 license plate MM940P?

Carly: I don't know what that plate number.

Mac: (slids a paper toward Ric and Carly) According to this vehicle registration, you are the owner. Is this your car?

Carly: (starting to fidget) Yes.

Mac: Are you still in ownership of this car Mrs. Corinthos?

Carly: No.

Mac: As of when?

Carly: I don't know. I can't remember when I got rid of it.

Mac: A rough estimate Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: Sometime in February.

Mac: What did you do with the car?

Carly: I gave it away. I do have other cars.

Mac: Was the car in good condition when you gave it away?

Carly: Yes.

Mac: Whom did you give the car to?

Carly: Some organization.

Mac: A name?

Carly: I don't recall. It was so long ago.

Mac: Did you receive any money for the car?

Carly: Of course not.

Mac: We found your car at a body shop 5 miles outside of Port Charles, called McGrady Body Shop. Any ideas how it got there?

Carly: I don't know. It's not my car anymore.

Mac: Is there anything else you want to tell us Mrs. Corinthos?

Ric: My client has answered all of your questions, if there's nothing else.

Mac: That's it. Please do not leave town Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: What?

Mac: You are a suspect in an attempted murder case.

Carly: Murder? (She looks at Ric)

Ric: Is my client being charge with something Commissioner?

Mac: Not yet. But she is a suspect. I advise her not to leave town. Thank you for your time. (Mac, Tagger, and Jagger leave.)

Sonny: (comes in) What was that all about?

Ric: This is not the place to discuss it (They all leave)

Setting: Mac's office

Anna: (sees the men coming in) Anything?

Mac: She's hiding something. She said that she gave the car away and that there weren't any damages.

Anna: How did it end up at the body shop?

Mac: She didn't know. Taggert, could you check with the owner to see where he got the car from and also see if he can id Carly?

Taggert: I'll head out there now. I'll call you with an update.

Mac: Thanks Taggert.

Jagger: I think we have enough evidence for a warrant.

Anna: What was Sonny's reaction when you picked her up?

Jagger: Surprise.

Anna: Then he doesn't know anything. Let's get that warrant before Sonny work on Carly.

Mac: I'll go talk to Baldwin. (Mac heads out)

Anna: Do you think she was lying?

Jagger: She tried to avoid the questions but Mac pushed on. I do think she's hiding. It's hard to believe that she gave away a car because she was tired of it.

Anna: That's what she said?

Jagger: Yes. Why could Carly want Robin dead?

Anna: I don't know if she actually wants to kill Robin. She probably just wanted to scare Robin. Robin is helping AJ with Michael custody case.

Jagger: Could there be anything else?

Anna: I don't think so. But Robin and Jason are getting close again. Robin did believed that Carly at one point wanted her out of the picture so she could be with Jason.

Jagger: But Carly is married to Sonny.

Anna: I'm not sure what happened between Carly and Jason.

Jagger: Has Jason been cooperative with the investigation?

Anna: Yes. He helped us tracked down a few leads.

Jagger: We probably need to talk to him about Carly.

Anna: Robin mentioned that Jason was out of town for a few weeks.

Jagger: We should contact him.

Anna: I can try.

Mac: Scott is getting the judge to sign the warrant. We should have it in an hour.

Anna: I was about to call Jason.

Mac: Why?

Jagger: I can't believe that Carly is doing all of this because of Michael. Jason knows Carly better than anyone, from what Robin tells me.

Mac: I don't know how much Jason is going to say. He's protective of his personal life.

Anna: We'll see. (she starts to dial Jason's number)

Jason: Morgan.

Anna: Jason, it's Anna Scorpio.

Jason: Is something wrong with Robin?

Anna: No. Robin is fine. I'm sorry to call you like this.

Jason: It's fine. What's going on?

Anna: Can you talk?

Jason: I'm in my hotel room.

Anna: We found Carly's car at a body shop outside of Port Charles. The car was damaged in the front when the owner got it. But the damage wasn't major. We brought Carly in for questioning and she didn't know anything about the car.

Jason: Which car?

Anna: The Mercedes SLK 320.

Jason: What did she say happened to the car?

Anna: She said it was fine when she gave it away.

Jason: She's hiding something.

Anna: Scott is getting a warrant for Carly.

Jason: What else?

Anna: Can you think of any other reason why Carly would want to hurt Robin beside Michael?

Jason: No.

Anna: Jason, I'm sorry to ask you this but is it possible that Carly is going after Robin because of you?

Jason: I don't know what you mean.

Anna: Didn't Carly at one point wanted you?

Jason: I guess so.

Anna: What happened?

Jason: She found Sonny.

Anna: Is it possible that Carly's feelings have resurfaced?

Jason: I don't know.

Anna: Why didn't you and Carly get together when Robin left town?

Jason: (silenced) Things got messy when she married AJ. I found Carly in bed with Sonny and I left town.

Anna: Then it is possible that Carly still want you?

Jason: I suppose.

Anna: Enough to get Robin out of the way?

Jason: I've made it clear to Carly that Robin and I are none of her business.

Anna: What did she say to that?

Jason: She didn't understand how I could forgive Robin for betraying me.

Anna: You mean Robin broke up your and Carly's family.

Jason: Yes.

Anna: I think I took enough of your time.

Jason: Is there anything you want me to do?

Anna: No, we're ok here. Thank you for your help Jason.

Jason: Your welcome. Bye.

Anna: Bye. (she hangs up)

Mac: What did Jason say?

Anna: He found Carly in bed with Sonny and that Carly still resents Robin for breaking up their family.

Jagger: So this is Carly's revenge.

Anna: Maybe.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse.

Sonny: You want to tell me what that was all about?

Carly: I don't know

Ric: What did you do with your car?

Sonny: What car?

Ric: The Mercedes SLK 320.

Sonny: Explain.

Carly: I gave the car away. It was old and was bored with it.

Sonny: Why didn't I know anything?

Carly: You haven't been the best person to talk to lately.

Sonny: What else?

Ric: It seems like Mac Scorpio is implying that Carly is responsible for Robin Scorpio's accident.

Sonny: (eyes Carly) Ric would you mind?

Ric: Not at all. I'll be in at my office if you need me.

Sonny: What's going on Carly?

Carly: (nervously pours herself a drink) What do you mean?

Sonny: Don't play games with me Carly. Why does Mac think you are responsible?

Carly: Little miss Saint gets herself in an accident and everyone assumes I'm responsible. I can't believe the people in this town.

Sonny: What happened to the car?

Carly: I told you. I got rid of it.

Sonny: Why?

Carly: I was tired of it.

Sonny: Damn it! Don't lie to me.

Carly: Lie? You should be the last person to talk Sonny.

Sonny: What?

Carly: Have you been honest? Have you told me everything?

Sonny: What are you getting at?

Carly: You're so righteous with your honesty policy for everyone to live by. What about you Sonny?

Sonny: We're not talking about me.

Carly: What else is new?

Sonny: Carly tell me what you did. I can't help you if I don't know.

Carly: You're so like everyone else. It's always Carly who caused the problem. Why don't you ask that Saint of yours, what she did? Oh, that's right, it doesn't matter. All is forgiven when it comes to Robin Scorpio.

Sonny: (rubs the back of his neck in frustration) Carly help me here.

Carly: What do you want from me Sonny?

Sonny: The truth.

Carly: (rolls her eyes) What is that?

Sonny: If Mac and Anna believe that you're responsible for Robin's accident, they're going to come at you full force. I need to know everything if I'm going to help you.

Carly: (throws back the rest of her drink) I'm tired. (she walks away)

Sonny: Carly. (but Carly continues walking)

Setting: Mac's office

Taggert: Is Mac gone?

Anna: He went to go pick up the Carly.

Taggert: So the warrant came through.

Anna: Yes. Did you find anything?

Taggert: The owner didn't recognize Carly. He bought the car from one of the boys who work there. The boy wasn't working today. But the boy told the owner that a lady gave him the car for a lift back to Port Charles.

Anna: When?

Taggert: The day of Robin's accident.

Anna: Carly actually tried to kill Robin?

Taggert: I asked the owner if he still had the old bumper and side fender, which he did. I dropped it off at forensics.

Anna: Good thinking. Do you believe Carly want to kill Robin?

Taggert: There is a lot of bad blood between them. I don't think it's enough for murder.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Johnny: Commissioner Scorpio, sir

Sonny: What now? (Mac, Scott, Jagger and another uniformed officer come in) What do you want now?

Mac: Where is Carly?

Sonny: What is this about?

Mac: Answer the question, Sonny.

Sonny: You can't barge into my home and start demanding things Mac.

Scott: Actually he can. You can either tell us where your wife is or we can search your house.

Sonny: Carly!

Carly: (comes walking down the stairs. She stops when she sees everyone) What now?

Mac: (approaches Carly) Carly Corinthos, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Robin Scorpio. Cuff her and make sure to read her rights.

Officer: (goes to Carly and attempts to handcuff her. But Carly wouldn't give him her wrists.) Your wrists Ma'am.

Scott: Cooperate because you don't want to add resisting arrest to your charges.

Carly: (tears running down her faced, she looks at Sonny) Sonny.

Sonny: I'll be right behind you. (Carly looks disgusted with Sonny. She turns around for the officer to handcuff her. They lead her out of the penthouse) This is not over.

Jagger: Your dirty money can't help her now. (he leaves)

Setting: PCPD

When Carly arrived at PCPD, she was booked, fingerprinted, and had her pictures taken. Carly was given a uniform to wear. The officer led Carly into the interrogation room where Sonny and Ric were waiting for her.

Carly: (looking deflated) Get me out of here.

Ric: They're refusing for us to post bail.

Carly: I'm stuck here?

Sonny: Just for tonight.

Ric: There will be a bail hearing first thing tomorrow.

Carly: (pacing around the room) I can't believe this.

Sonny: Now, will you tell me what's going on?

Carly: I'm in jail Sonny.

Sonny: What do they have on you, Carly?

Carly: I don't know.

Ric: We'll hear all the evidences tomorrow. There's nothing we can do now.

Carly: I have to stay here tonight?

Ric: I'm afraid so.

Taggert: Time's up. We have to take the prisoner back to her cell. (Taggert reaches for Carly. Sonny tries to stop Taggert.) We wouldn't want you in jail also now, do we?

Sonny: You're enjoying this.

Taggert: If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Sonny: Your battle is with me, why are you involving Carly?

Taggert: That's where you're wrong. I didn't have to involve her, she did that all on her own. Now let's go.

Carly: (softly) Sonny.

Taggert: You know this color suits you Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: Shut-up you bastard.

Taggert: Actually, I know who my parents are. Can we say the same for you?

Ric: Carly, don't speak to anyone without me present. (Taggert leaves with Carly)

Sonny: You have to get her out. She'll go crazy in there.

Ric: That's up to the judge.

Sonny: I pay highly for results.

Setting: Mac's office

Mac: (sees Taggert coming in) How's our prisoner?

Taggert: Mad as hell.

Anna: Did she say anything?

Taggert: It looks like she's tight-lipped even with Sonny.

Jagger: I don't get it. Why wouldn't she tell Sonny?

Mac: She knows how protective Sonny is of Robin. He considers Robin his family.

Jagger: Even after all this time?

Mac: I believe so. When do we know anything from forensics?

Taggert: Probably tomorrow.

Mac: Good. Carly has the night to mull over her future.

Setting: The Grille

After leaving the office Mac, Anna, and Jagger went back to the house to break the news to Robin about Carly. Robin was very surprise that Carly would want to kill her. Mac suggested they go out to dinner to ease the stress of the day.

Robin: I still find it hard to believe it was Carly.

Mac: All the evidence points to her.

Jagger: She didn't offer any contradiction to the evidence Robin.

Robin: You don't think Sonny knows anything?

Anna: No, honey.

Bobbie heard about Carly's arrest from Sonny. She tried calling Scott but he didn't answer her calls. So Bobbie has been looking for him. When Bobbie saw Mac, Anna, Robin and Jagger eating dinner, she stomped right over.

Bobbie: How dare you enjoy yourselves while my daughter is in jail?

Anna: The law put your daughter in jail.

Bobbie: This is a new low even for you Anna.

Anna: (gets up from her chair) Low is your daughter trying to kill Robin. Low is your daughter lying about it. Don't you dare put this on anybody else but your daughter. If you would open your eyes to your daughter's schemes you would know what kind of tricks she's pulling on you.

Bobbie: Carly is not capable of murder.

Anna: Evidences state otherwise. If you don't mind, we like to get back to our dinner. (Anna sits back down and starts talking. Everyone ignore Bobbie and she walks off with tears in her eyes.)

Setting: Alexis and Ned's home, next day

Alexis: (opens the door to AJ) Hi. Guess you heard the news.

AJ: What timing.

Alexis: I say. The judge would have no problem granting you temporary full custody of Michael.

AJ: You think so?

Alexis: It's now or never AJ.

AJ: I'm ready.

Alexis: Good.

Setting: GH

Monica: I heard about Carly's arrest.

Robin: It was a shock to me.

Monica: I always thought it was just an accident.

Robin: Mac wanted to keep it quiet while he investigate.

Monica: What now?

Robin: Bail hearing.

Monica: Are you okay with all of this?

Robin: Yes. It doesn't really involve me anymore.

Monica: I wonder what does this mean for AJ's case.

Robin: I forgot all about it. He probably could get custody of Michael now.

Monica: That would be so wonderful for him. He has turn his life around for that little boy.

Robin: Yes.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Johnny: Mr. Corinthos, a courthouse clerk is here to see you.

Sonny: Send them in.

Clerk: Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: Yes.

Clerk: I've been instructed to give you this. (hands Sonny the envelope) You and Mrs. Corinthos are required to be in court at 1:30pm today. (he leaves)

Sonny: (reads the document) Damn! (He picks up the phone and dial) What time is Carly's bail hearing?

Ric: We haven't got an exact time yet. What's going on?

Sonny: The courthouse clerk delivered our subpoenas. Carly and I are supposed to be in court at 1:30pm for Michael's custody.

Ric: What? It's not supposed to be for another week.

Sonny: Alexis probably found out about Carly's arrest and pushed up the date.

Ric: I'll see what I can do to get Carly release in time.

Sonny: Ok

Setting: Mac's office

Anna: (walking into Mac's office) Scott just informed me that the judge pushed up Michael's custody case for today at 1:30.

Mac: Bad day to be Carly.

Anna: You think she'll cooperate now?

Mac: It's hard to say. Michael or Sonny.

Anna: I see. How does David fit into all of this?

Mac: I don't know. I can't find a connection between David and Carly.

Anna: How would Carly know David? Who have I married?

Mac: You're not married to him anymore Anna. This is not your fault.

Anna: I just can't believe I was so wrong about him.

Mac: We all hope that the people we love are truthful to us. But we can't control that. We just have to learn from our mistakes and move on.

Taggert: Commissioner, Carly's bail hearing is set for 1:30.

Mac: The same time as Michael's case.

Taggert: What a coincidence, don't you think?

Anna: Alexis?

Taggert: Nope. I checked. I got the forensic reports. The paint residue from Carly's bumper matches Robin's car.

Anna: Positive match?

Taggert: Yes and the damages to the bumper match the pattern to Robin's car.

Mac: It's almost a close case except for why.

Taggert: We may never know that.

Setting: Carly's jail cell

Sonny: Carly.

Carly: What's happening?

Sonny: Your bail hearing is at 1:30.

Carly: Thank god. I can't stand this place anymore.

Sonny: Michael's custody is also for 1:30.

Carly: What? How did that happened?

Sonny: The judge moved up the date?

Carly: I bet Alexis ran to the judge as soon as she found out I was arrested. What are we going to do? I can't be in 2 places at the same time?

Sonny: Carly, we're alone. Tell me what's going on.

Carly: Nothing. I didn't try to kill Robin.

Sonny: What about the car?

Carly: I told you. I got rid of it.

Sonny: Why?

Carly: I was bored of it. You know me I get bored easily. What are we going to do about Michael?

Sonny: I'll have to attend by myself.

Carly: Sonny, don't let them take Michael away.

Sonny: I'll do my best

Setting: GH

Brenda: Hey. I heard about Carly.

Robin: Can you believe it? I know she hates me but wanting me dead?

Brenda: I didn't think Carly had it in her.

Robin: Me either.

Brenda: Jax ran into Alexis at the Grille. She said Michael's custody case got moved up to today.

Robin: What? Are you sure?

Brenda: Yes. I rushed right over after speaking to Jax.

Robin: Carly must be going crazy.

Brenda: She's not your concern, Robin.

Robin: I know. You should have seen Bobbie last night. She was so desperate.

Brenda: Carly brought this on herself, no one else. Bobbie needs to learn that.

Amy: Robin, there's tons of reporters outside.

Robin: Why?

Amy: They found out about Carly.

Robin: Why are they here? I don't have anything to say.

Amy: Security is holding them outside but it doesn't look like they're leaving without speaking to you.

Brenda: Why don't you finish up your shift? I'll call Jagger and he can take you back to my place.

Robin: I don't want to bother you.

Brenda: It'll be nice to have you there. Now go, stay away from the exit doors.

Robin: Ok. Bye. (Robin walks off)

Brenda: Keep an eye out for her for me Amy.

Amy: I will

Setting: Carly's bail hearing

Court clerk: City of Port Charles vs. Carly Corinthos for attempted first-degree murder.

Judge: Be seated.

Ric: Your honor, the charge was attempted manslaughter.

Scott: May I?

Judge: Go ahead.

Scott: We received new evidence that force us up to change the charge.

Ric: What new evidence?

Judge: This is not a trial it's a bail hearing.

Ric: We request bail your honor. My client has a family and a small child here in Port Charles. She is not a flight risk.

Judge: Mr. Baldwin?

Scott: Yes, Mrs. Corinthos does have a family here but her husband is linked to organized crimes. Mrs. Corinthos has not fully cooperated with the investigation and in light that this is first-degree murder and not manslaughter, bail should be denied.

Ric: No charges have ever been filed against Mr. Corinthos, your Honor.

Judge: I am aware of Mr. Corinthos' background. (looks over some papers) In light of the seriousness of this charge bail is denied. But Mrs. Corinthos, I will grant you permission to visit your child in a private room before you are taken into custody. Dismissed

Carly: I have to stay here?

Ric: Yes, I'm sorry. I need to head over to Sonny. (he takes off)

Scott: Where's your big-time husband now, Carly?

Carly: Shut-up, you bastard.

Scott: You know I might be able to talk to judge about bail if you're more cooperative.

Bobbie: (walking in the courtroom) Scott!

Scott: Sorry Bobbie.

Bobbie: Can you leave now?

Scott: The judge denied bail.

Bobbie: Honey, are you ok?

Carly: (a little dazed) Fine.

Meanwhile, in another courtroom.

Judge: Mr. Corinthos, where is your lawyer?

Sonny: He's held up in trial.

Alexis: Your honor, can the court point temporary counsel for Mr. Corinthos?

Judge: Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: No.

Judge: Then I have no choice but to make my ruling. (reading the papers) Social Services reported that Michael relationship with AJ Quatermaine has vastly improved over the last few weeks. The child seems to be responding to Mr. Quatermaine warmly and kindly. There have been no indications on Mr. Quatermaine's part that he is unfit to care for the child. However, the child does seem to hesitate to talk about his mother, Mrs. Corinthos with Mr. Quatermaine and myself. When asked why, Michael replied that "his mother does not like him", meaning Mr. Quatermaine. In my opinion, it is irresponsible for a mother to express her likes or dislikes of the other parent in front of the child. It could prove detrimental to the child's psychological and emotional being. Michael seems relax and comfortable when he is around Mr. Quatermaine. But his attitude does change slightly when his mother approaches him about Mr. Quatermaine. In light of this report and the arrest of Mrs. Corinthos, I have no choice but to grant full custody to Mr. Quatermaine.

Sonny: (stands up) No, you can't do that.

Judge: Mr. Corinthos, you are out of line. Mr. Corinthos, you may visit Michael at the convenient of Mr. Quatermaine. Mrs. Corinthos however is not allowed to be alone with the child for any reasons. I expect for you to make arrangement for Michael to be with Mr. Quatermaine by next evening. Social services will continue to monitor the progress of Michael. The custody will be reviewed again in 6 months. (he leaves)

Alexis: Congratulation AJ.

AJ: Thank you so much for your help Alexis.

Alexis: It was my pleasure

Ric: (comes running in) I'm too late.

Sonny: Yes. What happened with Carly?

Ric: The judge denied bail.

Sonny: Damn!

Ric: What happened?

Sonny: We lost. Carly is not allowed to be alone with Michael. The case will be reviewed in 6 months.

Ric: The judge granted Carly some private time with Michael.

Sonny: Good. I'll ask Letticia to bring him by.

AJ: When can I expect Michael tomorrow?

Sonny: Over my dead body.

Alexis: Don't make it difficult Sonny. Don't you have enough to worry about?

Ric: We will drop Michael off at 5:00 at your residence. Is that feasible?

AJ: You have my address.

Ric: Yes.

Alexis: Let's go AJ.

Sonny: Where's Carly?

Ric: She's in the waiting room.

Sonny: How is she?

Ric: I think she's in shock.

Sonny: Let's go.

Setting: Courthouse waiting room

Carly was sitting at the table with handcuffs on. There's an officer in the corner watching her. Sonny and Ric walk in.

Sonny: Are you ok?

Carly: What happened with Michael?

Sonny: The judge gave AJ full custody.

Carly: NO! How? How can you let them do that?

Sonny: There wasn't anything I could do.

Carly: Did you even try?

Sonny: His mind was already made up.

Carly: Where is Michael now?

Sonny: Letticia is bringing him by.

Carly: I want to be alone with him.

Sonny: The judge forbids you to be alone with Michael.

Carly: (yelling) I can't be with my own son? I can't believe this. This is all your fault! You and that goddamn Saint of yours.

Sonny: Carly, calm down.

Carly: Calm down? I just lost my son and you want me to be calm? Get out of here Sonny! (Sonny wouldn't budge) GET OUT!

Sonny: Carly! (Carly turns her back on Sonny)

Ric: Why don't you go find Letticia? I'll stay here with Carly. (Sonny looks again at Carly and then leaves) You need to remain calm.

Carly: Get me out Ric. I can't stay in here.

Ric: I'll see what I can do. But in the meantime, try to stay out of trouble. We don't need to give Baldwin anything else.

Carly: (fixes her hair) Do I look ok?

Ric: Yeah.

Sonny: (walks in the door with Michael) Look who's here Michael.

Michael: (he goes to Carly and gives her hug) Why do you have handcuffs on?

Carly: It's just a misunderstanding. Michael, I won't be home tonight.

Michael: Why?

Carly: It's probably going to take a couple of days to get this misunderstanding cleared up.

Michael: Ok.

Carly: Give me another hug. (Michael hugs Carly again) be a good boy. I'll see you soon.

Michael: Ok. Bye. (Sonny took Michael back out into the hallway)

Officer: Let's go Ma'am. (he leads Carly away)

Robin: Are they still here Amy?

Amy: Yes. The reporters said that Carly was denied bail.

Robin: Really?

Amy: Yes.

Robin: Have you seen Jagger?

Amy: No but he's probably on his way.

Robin: I'll be in the break room if you need me. (Robin heads to the break room. Robin is feeling a little sad for Carly and her situation. Robin's thoughts drift to Sonny and Michael. She wonders how Sonny is handling all of this.)

Alan: Robin?

Robin: Hi.

Alan: I just got off the phone with AJ. He won custody of Michael.

Robin: Really? That's great. You must be so happy.

Alan: I am but I'm more happy for AJ. He finally gets to be with Michael.

Robin: Yes.

Alan: AJ wanted to tell you in person but he had to get his place ready for Michael.

Robin: I understand.

Alan: AJ would never have been able to do without your help Robin.

Robin: I don't know about that.

Alan: We all had doubts about AJ but you never did. Thank you.

Robin: Your welcome.

Alan: Are you alright?

Robin: Yes.

Alan: Oh, good work on the surgery the other day. Monica said you did very well.

Robin: Thank you.

Alan: Keep up the good work.

Robin: I will. Bye. (Robin went back to her reading. A few minutes later, Luis popped his head in)

Luis: Hello.

Robin: (cheers up instantly) Hi. What are you doing here?

Luis: I missed you.

Robin: Good try.

Luis: How are you doing with all that's going on?

Robin: I don't know. I'm happy that AJ got custody of Michael but I feel sad that Sonny lost Michael. I know how much Sonny cherishes his family. Then there's Carly.

Luis: What about Carly?

Robin: I'm so angry and mad that she tried to end my life. But now that she lost both Michael and her freedom, I feel sorry for her.

Luis: Don't waste your sympathy for her. She didn't have any second thought of ending your life.

Robin: I know. I can't help the way I feel.

Luis: Maybe you can concentrate on the positive. AJ gets to know his son and you have your freedom. You don't need to look over your shoulder anymore.

Robin: Yes.

Luis: (smiling) Plus you're this new sensational model.

Robin: Don't tease me about that.

Luis: I'm not. How about dinner tonight?

Robin: I can't. I'm supposed to head over to Brenda to camp out.

Luis: Camp out?

Robin: To avoid the reporters. Jagger is picking me and then we're going to head straight there.

Luis: Tomorrow?

Robin: You're on. There's a new...

Bobbie: (in a frantic) Robin! (Robin and Luis turn toward Bobbie) How can you be so cruel?

Robin: Excuse me?

Bobbie: Does your vengeance have no end? It's not bad enough that you accused Carly of being behind your accident but you took her son away from her also?

Robin: First of all, I didn't accuse Carly of anything, evidence did. Second, I didn't take Michael away from Carly.

Bobbie: You are the cause of all this.

Robin: No, I'm not.

Bobbie: What happened to the kind girl that I knew? She didn't have a mean bone in her body?

Robin: People stepped all over her so she had to grow up. If you want to blame me for Carly's troubles, that's your prerogative. But it won't help Carly because you know Carly is more than capable of taking a life. She tried to take Tony's. (Robin leaves)

Luis: A person like your daughter might find it hard to know who's her friend or foe in prison. You must remember to tell her to be cautious.

Bobbie: What are you getting at?

Luis: Prison is a rough place. Good thing that Michael is with his real father.

Bobbie: Did you arrange the court date?

Luis: Just call it a warning to your daughter. If anything happens to Robin, Michael will only have one parent to love. (Luis leaves Bobbie. Bobbie was afraid for Carly.)

Setting: Brenda's cottage

Jax, Brenda, Jagger and Robin had a quiet dinner at home for Jagger's last night in Port Charles. They reminisced about old times. Robin said tearful goodbye to Jagger. She didn't want him but she understood.

Brenda: (cleanup the dishes) Ok, spill it.

Robin: What?

Brenda: Don't what me. You're not quite your cheery self.

Robin: I'm just tired.

Brenda: You mean you're tired of everything.

Robin: Yes. I thought I would feel this relief when Mac told me about Carly. But after today, all I feel is gloom. All these people are hurt because of Carly's hatred for me.

Brenda: You're not responsible for Carly's actions Robin. She gets herself into trouble and I'm sure Sonny will find a way to get her out.

Robin: I wonder how Sonny is handling all of this.

Brenda: Like he handles everything else, quietly. Speaking of Sonny, I had an interesting conversation with Julia the other day.

Robin: What?

Brenda: Sonny kissed her on New Year's Eve.

Robin: Really?

Brenda: Yes. Julia said it was just that one time.

Robin: Does Julia have feelings for Sonny?

Brenda: She said she wouldn't let herself.

Robin: Because of you?

Brenda: I told her that Sonny and I are of the past.

Robin: She might still feel weird about it. Are you ok with it?

Brenda: I guess. I don't know. They're like night and day.

Robin: Opposite attracts. Does this mean she's not going to pursue it with Sonny?

Brenda: She doesn't want to be responsible for breaking up his family.

Robin: That's understandable.

Brenda: Enough about Sonny, how's your love life going?

Robin: (laughs) What? It's fine.

Brenda: That's sound a little boring. Has Luis got you into bed yet?

Robin: No!

Brenda: Why not? Did he ask?

Robin: He's too nice to ask.

Brenda: Robin! No guy is nice when it comes to waiting for sex. Maybe you should ask him.

Robin: I can't do that.

Brenda: Why not? You do want to be with Luis, don't you?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: Then what are you waiting for? Ask him!

Robin: I can't Brenda. I can't just sleep with Luis when I don't even know where things are going between us.

Brenda: Well maybe it'll help clear things up.

Robin: (laughing) You're so bad.

Brenda: You have too many distractions here maybe you guys can head out of town together.

Robin: Hello, I have a job at GH.

Brenda: You must have a day off here and there.

Robin: When I do, I have to do photo shoots for this person I know.

Brenda: Ha ha funny. (Brenda thinks for a minute) I've got it.

Robin: What?

Brenda: We can move the trip to New York City to earlier. Maybe Monica will give you a couple of days off. Luis and you can have a couple of days to yourself.

Robin: I don't know Brenda.

Brenda: It's perfect. You need to get away from all the stuff that is going on here.

Robin: I'll think about it.

Brenda: Talk to Monica.

Robin: Ok.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Bobbie: (walking in) Hi Sonny.

Sonny: Bobbie.

Bobbie: How are you doing?

Sonny: Hanging in there.

Bobbie: Is there anything we can do for Carly?

Sonny: Not unless we find judge who will grant bail.

Bobbie: Can't you do anything?

Sonny: I did.

Bobbie: Oh my god!

Sonny: What?

Bobbie: I ran into Luis Alcazar at the hospital. He said something about it being hard for Carly to know who is friend or foe in prison.

Sonny: What does he mean?

Bobbie: If you made the arrangement and it fell through then Luis must have done something.

Sonny: Damn! He was probably the one who got Michael's custody case moved forward.

Bobbie: God Sonny. What are we going to do?

Sonny: I don't know.

Bobbie: Is there a remote chance that Carly is responsible for Robin's accident?

Sonny: Carly won't say anything.

Bobbie: It's bad enough that this town is against Carly, now we have to deal with Luis Alcazar and his connections.

Setting: New York City, Soho

The press was still camping out at GH and Mac's house. Mac and Anna thought that it was good idea for Robin to leave town for a few days. Alan and Monica wanted Robin to attend medical technology conference going in New York City. Robin and Luis agreed to go to New York City. Lucky was going to meet them there in a few days for the photo shoot. Meanwhile, Jason hurried through his trip so he can go home to Port Charles.

Robin: (walking along the street of Soho) The shops are so nice. It reminds me of Paris.

Luis: Do you miss Paris?

Robin: Yes. I miss the cafes, fresh baked croissant, and the bridges.

Luis: Are you thinking of going back?

Robin: I don't know. When I left Port Charles, I felt so alone and desperate. I don't see myself feeling like that again. I have my Mom, Brenda, Uncle Mac, you.

Luis: This is the longest I've ever stayed at one place.

Robin: Really? Why do you keep moving?

Luis: Cures loneliness.

Robin: I've never thought of it that way. You're not lonely now.

Luis: No. Life is actually pretty good a little quieter but still good.

Robin: You know what I really miss of Paris?

Luis: What?

Robin: Hot chocolate crepes.

Luis: I remembered you used to bring them into the hospital for me.

Robin: I was actually looking for a reason to buy more than one.

Luis: Would like some crepes?

Robin: Where?

Luis: Just wait. Isn't there a store you want to go into?

Robin: Are you trying to get rid of me?

Luis: I thought you wanted crepes.

Robin: What are you planning?

Luis: Don't you want to shop?

Robin: Ok. (stops in front of a candle store) I want to go in here.

Luis: I'll wait out here for you. (Luis watches Robin go inside, he smiles as he start dialing the phone)

Setting: PCPD Mac's office

Jason: Mac.

Mac: Jason, what are you doing here? I thought you were out of town.

Jason: I came back early. How's Robin?

Mac: She's fine.

Jason: Where is she? I dropped by GH and they said she wasn't working today.

Mac: Luis took her out of town for a few days. The press has been crazy.

Jason: (disappointed to hear Robin was with Luis) Is she safe with Luis?

Mac: Yes.

Jason: The case against Carly, it's tight?

Mac: We found the Mercedes at a body shop outside of town. The damages matched that of Robin's car.

Jason: What did Carly say?

Mac: She doesn't know anything.

Jason: Is that possible?

Mac: She gave the car to a kid working there for lift back to town on the day of Robin's accident.

Jason: I can't believe Carly is capable of this.

Mac: They also lost custody of Michael to AJ.

Jason: Can I see Carly?

Mac: Yeah, go on down.

Setting: Carly's jail cell

Jason approaches the cell slowly. He was trying to control his anger. For the life of him, he never thought Carly was capable of hurting Robin. He almost lost Robin because of Carly. Jason stopped in front of Carly's cell without speaking. Carly looks up and sees Jason. She happily runs to him.

Carly: Jason, thank god you're here. Can you get me out?

Jason: (in a tight voice) Then it's true?

Carly: What?

Jason: Don't play games with me. You tried to kill Robin.

Carly: (she looks closer at Jason and realized that he was controlling his anger) Jason, let me explain.

Jason: Did you or did you not hit Robin's car?

Carly: Jason, please let me explain.

Jason: NO! (Carly jumps a little) I'm tired of your lies and schemes. Answer my question.

Carly: (with tears in her eyes) Jason, please. There were circumstances.

Jason: More lies. I've told you to stay away from Robin. Why couldn't you? Have I not been a friend to you? Did I not stand by you when you didn't have anyone? This is how you repay me? You try to kill the woman I love?

Carly: You don't love her.

Jason: I've always love Robin. I always will. Robin said that I couldn't trust you but I fought her on it. No more Carly. My eyes are opened. You opened them.

Carly: Jason, what are you saying?

Jason: You are dead in my eyes. If you so much as lay a finger on Robin again, I won't hesitate to end your life.

Carly: (ghastly white by Jason's statement) You don't mean that Jason.

Jason: Try it. (he leaves)

Carly: Jason, please don't leave. Jason!

Setting: Mac's office

Luke: Hey Mac.

Mac: Hi Luke.

Luke: I see the press is still camping outside.

Mac: It's been 3 days. You would think they get tired and leave.

Luke: Not likely to happen. I've got info for you.

Mac: What?

Luke: Guess who's been to Mexico lately?

Mac: Carly.

Luke: Yes, my demented niece was there on November 1st, the day of the dead.

Mac: Yellow marigold.

Luke: Yes. I have to give me niece credit. It's hard to track travels to Mexico since you don't need a passport.

Mac: Do we know what she was doing there?

Luke: She was there with some guy.

Mac: A local?

Luke: No. I'm trying to get my man to give me a description.

Mac: What would Carly be doing in Mexico? It can't be for Sonny's business.

Luke: It wasn't for Sonny.

Anna: What wasn't for Sonny?

Mac: Carly was in Mexico on November 1st, the day of the dead.

Anna: That would explain how she knows about the flowers. Then David didn't send the flowers.

Luke: Who's David?

Anna: My ex-husband.

Luke: Why did we think he was involved?

Mac: He was the hospital asking about Robin on the day of the accident and when Anna was at his house, she saw a business card for a flower shop.

Luke: Could it just be coincidence?

Anna: David didn't mention being Port Charles.

Luke: Why would he want to hurt Robin? Is he capable of hurting Robin?

Anna: David is capable of a lot of things.

Mac: The question still remains, why was Carly in Mexico?

Anna: One goes to Mexico to get things that you can't get in the states. What could Carly be looking for?

Luke: Hopefully my man will have more info for us.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny: (sees Jason walk in the door) You're back. How did it go?

Jason: Did you know?

Sonny: Know what?

Jason: Robin's accident.

Sonny: Of course not.

Jason: All this time you didn't know that Carly was responsible?

Sonny: Wait a minute we don't know for sure that Carly did this.

Jason: What?

Sonny: It's circumstantial evidences that Mac produced.

Jason: Are you kidding me? You're saying Mac is crooked?

Sonny: Maybe he didn't fabricate all the evidence.

Jason: Do you hear yourself? You're making excuses for Carly. Carly tried to kill Robin, a person you thought of as your sister. Robin's car could have slid down to the river. She could have died. Do you even care?

Sonny: Of course I do. What do you want me to do?

Jason: Stop lying for Carly.

Sonny: She's my wife.

Jason: Then Robin might as well be dead in your eyes. (Sonny punched Jason in the face)

Sonny: Don't you dare ever say that!

Jason: You know Carly is guilty but you're going to be blind about it. Robin is in hiding again because of Carly. I won't let Robin abandon the life she built here, Sonny. Do whatever you need to do but keep Carly away from Robin.

Sonny: Are you threatening Carly?

Jason: I'm not going to give her another chance to hurt Robin. Robin might not be so lucky next time.

Sonny: Jason, we can work together to figure this out.

Jason: No, I've let Carly's lies and schemes destroyed my life with Robin once, I'm not going to do it again. (Jason leaves)

Setting: Luis and Robin's Hotel room

Robin: I didn't realize I bought so much stuff.

Luis: I'm getting a workout just carrying your bags.

Robin: I'll have to properly thank you for helping.

Luis: what did you have in mind?

Robin: You'll see

Luis: You're a tease my Robin. (he opens the hotel suite)

Robin: (looks around the hotel room and saw a table set for 2) What's all this? And what is that delicious smell?

Luis: Why don't you go and have a seat?

Robin: Ok. (Robin goes to sit at the table) What did you do Luis?

Luis: (comes out of the kitchen carrying two plates) Here you go, Mademoiselle

Robin: (looks down at her and broke into a wide smile) Chocolate crepes. You are too good to me.

Luis: How do they taste?

Robin: (Robin takes a bite and melts) These are delicious.

Luis: Good. Eat up. There's more on the way.

Robin: More?

Luis: The chef wants empty plates.

Robin: Chef? You have a chef here?

Luis: Yes. (Robin get up from the table to go look. She peaked her head inside the kitchen and there was chef making crepes)

Robin: There is a chef in there.

Luis: Of course.

Robin: (shakes her head, smiling) You really are something.

Setting: Kelly's

Jason: Hi Elizabeth.

Liz: I haven't seen you in a while.

Jason: I was out of town.

Liz: You missed all the commotion.

Jason: Was it that bad?

Liz: I heard Robin hid out between Brenda's place and GH.

Jason: So, you haven't seen her.

Liz: I'm sorry no

Jason: Do you know if Jagger is still in town?

Liz: No, I think he left. I heard he was the one who arrested Carly. How are you handling this?

Jason: I don't know. I rushed back to be with Robin but she's not even here.

Liz: Lucky and I are meeting them tomorrow.

Jason: Why?

Liz: A photo shoot. You know you can go up there with us.

Jason: No, she's with Luis.

Liz: I know but she'll be happy to see you.

Jason: I don't know with this thing with Carly and all.

Liz: Robin knows you're not involved Jason.

Courtney: (coming in the door, her face lights up seeing Jason) Hi guys!

Liz: Hi Courtney.

Courtney: You're back.

Jason: Yeah.

Liz: I have to get my things. I'll be back in a minute.

Courtney: How was your trip?

Jason: Fine.

Courtney: Things have been crazy here.

Jason: I heard.

Courtney: I can't believe Carly tried to kill Robin. Good thing Robin has Luis to protect her. He looks like her really loves her.

Jason: Maybe.

Courtney: He's so devoted to Robin. They look so happy in love. I'm a little jealous. I wish I had someone to love me like Luis love Robin. That kind of love comes one in a lifetime.

Liz: (rolls her eyes hearing Courtney's speech) Courtney, can I speak to you for a moment?

Courtney: Sure. I'll be right back Jason.

Liz: What do you think you're doing?

Courtney: What?

Liz: What's with all that stuff about Luis and Robin? You know how Jason feels about Robin.

Courtney: I'm just telling what is already obvious.

Liz: It's not obvious. You don't know anything about Robin or Luis. You're talking about things you know nothing of.

Courtney: Who made you a defender of Robin?

Liz: Robin and Jason are my friends. I don't want you hurting either one of them with your misinformation (Liz goes back out to Jason) Are you sure you don't want to reconsider coming with us?

Jason: No. I have things to do here.

Liz: (seeing Courtney coming back out) You want to walk me out?

Jason: Sure. Bye Courtney. (Liz gives Courtney look before walking out with Jason. Courtney was mad watching them leave)

Setting: Luis and Robin's hotel suite

Robin: I can't eat anymore

Luis: We could run out for more flour.

Robin: (laughs) No more. (Robin gets up and walk out to the balcony. The sun is about to set) It's so beautiful.

Luis: (coming to stand next to Robin) Yes it is.

Robin: I can't remember the last time I watched the sunset.

Luis: Me either.

Robin: I'm having a wonderful time.

Luis: I'm glad. What would you like to do now?

Robin: Take a bath soak my tired body.

Luis: I have a better idea. How about we sit in the jacuzzi?

Robin: I don't know.

Luis: It'll help relax your muscles.

Robin: (a little embarrass) Luis, I don't...

Luis: I like to see you wear that bikini you bought earlier.

Robin: Bikini?

Luis: That little yellow black thing.

Robin: (grateful for Luis's understanding) Ok, let me go change.

Luis: I'll meet you there.

A few minutes later Luis was in the Jacuzzi waiting for Robin. He smiles thinking about Robin's embarrassment. If she only realized how many times he imagined her without any clothes on. Luis leans head back with a smile.

Robin: (standing before Luis in a yellow black bikini) What's that smile for?

Luis: (slowly let his eyes trail down Robin's body and back to her face) You.

Robin: (blushes a little, she climbs into the Jacuzzi) Um, this feels nice. (Robin leans back against the wall) I might not want to get out.

Luis: Don't fall asleep on me.

Robin: (laughs) I'll try not to. This is how I should end every day.

Luis: We can get one installed at Mac's place.

Robin: I don't think Mac will appreciate that.

Luis: We'll let Mac and Anna use it once in awhile.

Robin: Luis!

Luis: What? Is not like they don't need the relaxation.

Robin: (look suspiciously at Luis) That's not what you were hinting at.

Luis: I'm innocent.

Robin: I don't think so.

Luis: Come over here and sit by me.

Robin: No funny things.

Luis: Promise. (Robin scoots over to next to Luis. She leans her head against Luis shoulder) Is this better?

Robin: Much better.

Luis: (wraps his arm around Robin) I miss it being just the 2 of us.

Robin: Me too.

Luis: (turns to face Robin) You are so beautiful my Robin.

Robin: (embarrassed by the compliment) You're not so bad yourself.

Luis: (smiles) Thank you. (Luis leans in to kiss Robin. Robin responded by putting her arms around Luis' neck. Luis deepens the kiss) My Robin, do you know what you do to me?

Robin: What?

Luis: (Luis kissed Robin again) You make me lose control. I don't know myself when I'm with you

Robin: Is that a bad thing?

Luis: (in between kisses) Sometimes. Why do you have this hold over me? (He continues to kiss Robin. Luis's hands roam Robin's body. Robin can feel herself relaxing under Luis' touch. Luis trails kisses down Robin's neck and chest.)

Robin: (pulls back when she felt Luis' lips against her chest) Luis, I can't...

Luis: (places her finger over Robin's lips) It's not going any farther than this.

Robin: (Robin looks into Luis' eyes and saw how he was controlling himself for her. Her heart melts for him. Robin leans in to kiss Luis deeply) I'm sorry I can't give you more.

Luis: You give me more than I've ever expected, my Robin. (They continue to kiss each other)

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason is standing by a window looking out. His thoughts drift to Robin. He remembered how happy he was to hear voice the night before he left. He can feel that they're connecting with each other again. She doesn't have her guards up when she's with him anymore. Jason remembers how Robin leaned into him when they were dancing. He smiles. Robin was still the only one he ever wanted to dance with. For some reason, it doesn't quite feel like dancing with Robin. He can't wait to see Robin again. Then Jason remembers Robin is with Luis this very minute. Jason wonders what they're doing. Is Robin kissing Luis? Is she sharing her bed with Luis? His mind was torturing him with images of Robin with Luis.

Setting: Luis and Robin's hotel suite.

Luis: Ready for bed?

Robin: I think so. I might not even make it that far.

Luis: Here, let me help you. (he leads Robin into her room. He pulls the sheet back for Robin to climb in)

Robin: Don't wake me up tomorrow.

Luis: (smiles) You're stomach will probably wake you up.

Robin: Yeah.

Luis: (covers Robin with the blanket) Sweet dreams my Robin. (he lightly kiss Robin on the lips)

Robin: Goodnight (closed her eyes. Luis smiles, walked out and closed the door behind him)

Luis, Robin, Liz and Lucky spent the next couple of days in the city. The photo shoot took most of the days but at night they were able to take in a couple of shows. Liz and Lucky were starting to warm up to Luis. They can see how much he cares for Robin. Liz and Lucky did manage to have dinner by themselves but met up with Luis and Robin at a blues club. It was time for them to head back to Port Charles and no one wanted to go back.

Liz: I wish we didn't have to go back.

Robin: You kind of lose yourself here, no troubles, no worries.

Liz: Yes. Reality stinks. (Liz and Robin broke out in laughter.)

Robin: Things with you and Lucky seem good.

Liz: They are. I always have this urgency to want be with Lucky all the time.

Robin: (smiles and nod) That's what love does to you.

Liz: When I was Lucky the first time, I kind of lost myself. I was Lucky's girlfriend, fiancée. But I didn't know who I was. I resented Lucky for that. Now, Lucky and I are individuals separately and a couple together. Do you know what I mean?

Robin: I think so. Sometimes, when you fall in love so early in your life, you haven't gotten a chance to develop yourself. You get so absorbed in your partner's life that one day you realize you don't have a life without that person.

Liz: I found Lucky when I was so young that I became so dependent on him. When I lost him, I was devastated. Life didn't seem worth living. Then when he came back, I was grateful and happy that I sacrificed myself to make Lucky happy. Jason couldn't understand why I did those things.

Robin: You were close with Jason then.

Liz: Yes. He helped me when I was grieving for Lucky. We grew close. When Jason left, I was sad but then Lucky came back. I became absorbed with Lucky. At one point, my feelings were torn between Lucky and Jason. But Jason and I never started anything a few kisses but that's all. It always seemed like he was there physically but not emotionally. I couldn't get him to open up to me. But he was great at getting me to express my feelings.

Robin: I always thought Jason would end up with Carly.

Liz: Ugh. Carly and I butted head from the beginning. I think she saw me as a threat. You know I could never understand Jason's relationship with Carly. She always takes and Jason always gives.

Robin: Yes.

Liz: Carly thinks she owns Jason. She irritates me.

Robin: (laughs) She more than irritates me. I can't believe I tried to befriend her.

Liz: You're a good person that way. You know, Jason asked me about you.

Robin: Why?

Liz: He was concerned about you.

Robin: I don't want to be a charity case for Jason.

Liz: You mustn't think that Robin. I really believe that Jason loves you.

Robin: What make you say that?

Liz: Well, Courtney was ranting about Luis and you and I saw Jason's face. He looked really hurt and sad.

Robin: What is the deal with her? She came at me about stringing Jason along.

Liz: I think Courtney likes Jason. I think if she saw Jason before marrying AJ, it wouldn't have happened.

Robin: Was there anything between Courtney and Jason?

Liz: I don't know. Jason's been preoccupied with you since you've been back.

Setting: Kelly's

AJ and Michael just sat down to have lunch. AJ has pampered Michael. He's tried to explain to Michael when he wasn't at Sonny anymore. Michael seems to understand.

Courtney: Hi AJ. Hi Michael.

AJ: Courtney.

Courtney: What are you up to today?

Michael: We're going to visit Grandpa Alan and Grandma Monica.

Courtney: At the hospital?

Michael: Yep!

Courtney: That sounds fun. What can I get you to eat?

Michael: Hot dog and a chocolate milkshake

AJ: I'll have a BLT.

Courtney: Coming right up. (As Courtney was walking away, Jason came in)

Michael: (sees Jason) Uncle Jason.

Jason: (walking toward the table) Hi Michael. AJ.

AJ: Jason.

Jason: How are you doing buddy?

Michael: Great. I'm going to the hospital later. (Jason look questionably at AJ)

AJ: We're visiting Alan and Monica. You want to join us for lunch?

Michael: Yes. I'm having a hot dog and chocolate milkshake.

Jason: Ok. Do you like your new room?

Michael: Yes. My bed is a car.

Jason: Really. That doesn't sound comfortable.

Michael: It's not really a car, just shaped like one.

Courtney: (brings out food for Michael and AJ) Hi Jason. Can I get you anything?

Jason: Coffee.

AJ: I heard about your job with Julia. Congratulation.

Jason: Thank you.

AJ: When do you start?

Jason: Not for a few more months.

AJ: Did you tell Mom and Dad?

Jason: Why would I tell them?

AJ: I'm sure they would be happy to know. (Liz and Lucky come through the door)

Liz: Hi guys.

AJ: Hi Liz, Lucky.

Lucky: I'm going to drop these things off.

Liz: Ok.

Jason: How was New York?

Liz: Beautiful.

AJ: What were you doing in New York?

Liz: I went up there for a photo shoot with Lucky.

AJ: How's Robin?

Liz: Better.

Jason: Did she come back with you?

Liz: Yes. (smiles at Jason) She's at GH

Jason: I have to go. Bye. (Jason rushes out)

AJ: He's in a rush.

Liz: I wonder why. How's your milkshake Michael?

Michael: Yummy.

Courtney: (comes back to the table) Where's Jason?

Liz: He went to see Robin. Why?

Courtney: No reason. (she walks away)

Liz: (sees AJ's expression) That was insensitive of me. I'm sorry AJ.

AJ: Don't be.

Liz: You're too good for her AJ.

AJ: Thanks for saying that.

Setting: GH

Monica: Well, you look a lot more relaxed.

Robin: I am. Thank you for letting me go.

Monica: It's no problem. I'm glad it helped.

Robin: I'm ready for work.

Monica: Well, I have a surgery to place a pacemaker. It's not really your field but I thought you might want the practice.

Robin: I want to do it.

Monica: Good. We scrub in 2 hours.

Robin: Ok. I better go check in with Amy.

Monica: Robin, before you go. I wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your help.

Robin: For what?

Monica: AJ and Michael.

Robin: I really didn't do anything.

Monica: Your support really helped to turn AJ around. He's a completely different person now. And he's got custody of Michael.

Robin: I'm happy for AJ and for you. Now, you get to be with your grandson.

Monica: Yes.

Robin: I better go.

Monica: Ok.

Setting: Mac's office

Anna: (walking in) Robin said hi.

Mac: She's back?

Anna: She just phoned me from GH.

Mac: Back at work too.

Anna: (smiles) I think she misses the hospital when she's not there.

Mac: How did she sound?

Anna: Relaxed.

Mac: Good. Carly's pretrial is not for a few more days.

Anna: Is Scott planning to put Robin on the stand?

Mac: I don't think so. But I think Scott wants Robin to be present.

Anna: Does he foresee any problems?

Mac: No. It's a tight case against Carly.

Anna: Has Luke been in touch with you?

Mac: He hasn't called since he left for Mexico.

Anna: I should have gone with him. I can't stand this waiting.

Mac: I can't either but it'll draw attention if either one of us is spotted in Mexico.

Anna: You're right. I was thinking of heading back to Pine Valley.

Mac: What? Why?

Anna: We need to find answers about David. I can't do it here.

Mac: No Anna. Let see what Luke comes what with.

Anna: I could also be doing some legwork in Pine Valley.

Mac: I don't like it. David is dangerous. You'll be by yourself there.

Anna: But I won't be. Edmund is there and so is Jackson Montgomery.

Mac: Edmund is wrapped up with Maria.

Anna: Mac, I need to do this. I need to know how David is involved.

Mac: (rubs his forehead) You already made up your mind.

Anna: Yes.

Mac: When are you leaving?

Anna: Tonight but I'll be back for the pretrial.

Mac: (goes to Anna) Promise me you'll be careful. Check in with me before you do anything.

Anna: (smiles at Mac's concern) I promise.

Mac: Between you and Robin, I'm going to lose all my hair before I'm 40!

Anna: (laughs at Mac) Oh Mac. Don't worry so much.

Mac: Easier said than done.

Anna: (gives Mac a kiss) I love you for worrying but you don't have to.

Mac: I love you too. (Mac wraps his arms around Anna and kiss her passionately. Felicia was walking in, stops when she saw Mac and Anna kissing. Crushed, she was about to turn and leave when Mac spotted her) Felicia. (Anna steps out of Mac's arms) What are you doing here?

Felicia: I'm sorry. I should have knocked.

Anna: Don't be. Is something wrong?

Felicia: I needed to talk to Mac about Maxie.

Mac: What about Maxie?

Anna: I'll let you talk.

Felicia: You don't have to leave Anna.

Anna: I need to clean my desk before I head out tonight. Bye.

Felicia: Bye Anna. (Felicia takes at seat) you guys have gotten close.

Mac: Does that bother you?

Felicia: Do you love Anna?

Mac: Yes

Felicia: Oh.

Mac: I'm sorry you had to find out like this.

Felicia: No, it's alright. I thought there might be something going on between you but I wasn't sure.

Mac: Anna and I are keeping it private for now.

Felicia: Why?

Mac: There's a lot going on right now. Besides Anna and I are learning each other and we want to do that in private.

Felicia: Sounds serious.

Mac: It is. We have a lot to lose so we want to make sure we do it right. So, what about Maxie?

Felicia: She's skipping school.

Mac: Why?

Felicia: I don't know. I can't get her to open up to me.

Mac: Do you want me to try?

Felicia: Will you?

Mac: Of course. How about I take her out to dinner tomorrow night?

Felicia: I think she'll enjoy that.

Mac: Ok. I'll call Maxie later then.

Felicia: Thank you Mac.

Mac: Your welcome

Setting: GH

Jason: Hi Amy.

Amy: Hi Jason. What can I do for you?

Jason: I was looking for Robin.

Amy: She's with a patient and after that she has to scrub for surgery.

Jason: How long is the surgery?

Amy: A little over an hour.

Jason: Can I wait for her?

Amy: I don't know. Her schedule is pretty tight today.

Jason: (disappointed) Oh.

Amy: Tell you what I'll try to get her after the surgery.

Jason: Thanks Amy.

Amy: Your welcome.

Bobbie: (coming to station) Jason.

Amy: I'll let you know Jason.

Jason: Bye Amy.

Bobbie: I'm glad you're back. Have you seen Carly?

Jason: Yes.

Bobbie: Did she say anything to you?

Jason: No.

Bobbie: What are we going to do? She can't stay in there.

Jason: Why are you asking me?

Bobbie: Jason, don't you care that Carly is in jail? You're supposed to be her friend. (no answer from Jason) Are you going to abandoned Carly when she needs you the most?

Jason: Carly tried to kill Robin. If I didn't find Robin when I did, Robin could have died.

Bobbie: It wasn't that serious Jason.

Jason: Find someone else to help Carly. I'm through with her.

Bobbie: Jason!

Jason: What?

Bobbie: You can't mean what you just said. Carly has always stood by you.

Jason: Like when she told everyone that I kidnapped Michael, when she married AJ, when she slept with my best friend. I don't want to hear anymore of Carly's lies.

Bobbie: (shocked by Jason's hostility and abruptness) She needs you Jason. (Jason gives Bobbie a bland look and walks away.)

After leaving Bobbie, Jason went to the cafeteria to cool off. He wanted to leave but he really wanted to see Robin.

Alan: Hi Jason. What are you doing here?

Jason: I'm waiting for Robin.

Alan: May I join you? (Jason nods) How are you these days?

Jason: Fine.

Alan: I heard about your job with Julia. You must be very excited.

Jason: It's something different.

Alan: (noticing that Jason was quieter than normal) Is something wrong Jason? (Jason looks at Alan but doesn't say anything) I'm a pretty good listener.

Jason: I guess you heard that Carly was responsible for Robin's accident.

Alan: Yes.

Jason: I feel that it's my fault.

Alan: Why would it be your fault?

Jason: I'm the one who brought Carly into our lives.

Alan: I don't think you can take responsibility for that.

Jason: Robin almost died. How am I supposed to live with that?

Alan: You're not responsible for Robin's accident. Carly is. You saved Robin, Jason.

Jason: How do I face Robin now? It took me so long to gain her trust again. How can she possibly forgive me?

Alan: Robin doesn't blame you. Robin trusts you because you proved to her that she could. Your relationship with Carly wasn't a factor. It might be hard for Robin to understand how or why you stand by Carly but she doesn't hold it against you.

Jason: But I don't stand by Carly. Not after this. She tried to kill Robin. I can't forgive that.

Alan: Then I don't think you have to worry about Robin. You and Robin have always been able to talk to each other. Don't stop now.

Robin: Hi

Alan: Hi Robin.

Robin: Amy said that you needed to see me.

Alan: I'll leave you guys to talk.

Jason: Thank you Alan.

Alan: Your welcome. Bye Robin.

Robin: Bye. (sits down) I can't stay very long.

Jason: I wanted to talk to you.

Robin: What about? How was your trip?

Jason: Fine. I wanted... (Robin's pager went off)

Robin: (looks at her pager) I'm sorry I have to go.

Jason: Robin, I need...

Robin: We can talk later. Bye. (she rushes off leaving a frustrated Jason behind)

Robin and Jason never did get to talk to each that night. Robin had a couple of emergency to deal with and Jason couldn't stand being at the hospital anymore. Jason went home feeling deflated. He was hoping to talk to Robin and explain about Carly. He wanted to tell Robin that he missed her while he was gone. Jason's classes started tomorrow so he decides to call it a night early. Robin pulled an all-night at the hospital. She fell asleep on one of the spare bed in the break room.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason opens the door of his apartment and ran into Courtney.

Courtney: (smiling) Hi

Jason: What are you doing here?

Courtney: (holds up a bag) I brought you breakfast.

Jason: I'm on my way out.

Courtney: A quick breakfast then.

Jason: Alright, come on in.

Courtney: (looks around the apartment) This is nice.

Jason: You want anything to drink?

Courtney: Whatever you have. (Courtney explores the apartment as Jason went to get them their drinks.)

Jason: Here go you. (handing Courtney water bottle)

Courtney: How do you like living here? It must be different compared to the penthouse.

Jason: It's a place to sleep and shower. (Courtney sits down next to Jason on the couch and they start eating.)

Courtney: Where are you heading?

Jason: Class.

Courtney: You're going to school? Where?

Jason: PCU.

Courtney: Really. That's great.

Jason: I really have to go.

Courtney: Ok. I'll walk out with you

As they are walking out, Robin was getting out of her car. She was about to start walking toward the door when she saw Courtney and Jason walking together. Jason was laughing at something that Courtney was saying. Robin got back in her car without Jason seeing her. Robin watches as Courtney and Jason say goodbye to each other. Disappointed, Robin drove to GH.

Setting: Brenda's office

Brenda: These are great Lucky. (looking at the proofs)

Lucky: It was a good day. Robin was a lot more comfortable outdoors.

Brenda: We'll have to keep that in mind.

Lucky: I'll be in the studio if you need me.

Brenda: Ok. Thanks Lucky.

Lucky: No problem. (Lucky leaves. Brenda continue to look over the proofs)

Julia: Hi. Are we interrupting anything?

Brenda: No. Come on in.

Julia: (Julia walks in a beautiful girl next to her. She's a little younger than Robin, petite, with a beautiful short blond hair that frames her face) Brenda, I like you to meet Tess Winters.

Brenda: (walking around her desk and extending her hand) Hi Tess. It's nice to meet you.

Tess: You're more beautiful in person.

Brenda: Thank you. Have a seat. (They all sit down at the sofa)

Julia: Tess is the daughter of one of director at Barrett Enterprises. Her family is relocating to Port Charles to help me run the new division.

Brenda: Is this your first time in Port Charles?

Tess: Yes. It's actually my first time out of Boston.

Brenda: Port Charles is not has hectic as Boston but it's very hip.

Julia: Tess was looking for a job and Jax said that you were in need on an assistant.

Brenda: Oh, I am. Tess, have you done this stuff before.

Tess: I work as a receptionist to put myself through college.

Brenda: Then why do you want to be an assistant?

Tess: I wanted to move out of the house after high school. The only way my parents would agree to let me move out were if I went to college. I went to college and majored in liberal arts. There's not very much demand for liberal arts majored.

Brenda: College to move out. Clever.

Tess: I thought so to until I saw my study load.

Brenda: (laughs) It was more than what you bargain for huh?

Tess: Yes.

Julia: Do you think Tess could work for you? If not, I was going to hire her to be Jason's assistant.

Brenda: Oh, Jason doesn't need an assistant. I have to warn you Tess. I'm a bear to work with.

Tess: You haven't met my dad.

Julia: Tess is right. Danny is 10 times worst than you, Brenda.

Brenda: Ok then, you're hired Tess.

Tess: Really? Thank you.

Julia: I'm glad this worked out. Tess, you're in good hands.

Tess: Thank you Julia for arranging this.

Julia: Your welcome. I have to go.

Brenda: Thanks Julia. You are a lifesaver.

Julia: You can repay me by finding someone for Jason.

Brenda: I'll keep that in mind. Bye. (Julia leaves) How about a tour and then I'll take you to HR to get you setup?

Tess: Ok.

Brenda: How much do you know about Deception?

Tess: Not much except for your products.

Brenda: It's a very relaxing environment. We work hard but most of the time, we try to have fun.

Tess: That's nice. (Brenda gave Tess the tour and introduces her around to the people.)

Setting: GH

Robin: (standing at the Nurse station) Uncle Mac, what are you doing here?

Mac: Well, I haven't seen you since you've gotten back.

Robin: It's been a little crazy here.

Mac: Time for lunch?

Robin: Sure. (they start walking to the cafeteria) so how are things?

Mac: Fine.

Robin: Missing Mom?

Mac: (smiles) Yes. How are thing going for you?

Robin: Not bad. I've been doing more surgeries.

Mac: That's great Robin

Robin: Yeah. (they sit down at a table)

Mac: How are you dealing with this Carly thing?

Robin: I'm trying not to think about it.

Mac: Scott asked me to talk to you about attending the pretrial.

Robin: I don't know Uncle Mac.

Mac: The judge needs to see you Robin.

Robin: I thought you had a tight case.

Mac: Scott believes he does but it doesn't hurt for you to be there. Besides don't you want Carly to pay for hurting you?

Robin: I do but I don't want to deal with her, Bobbie, Sonny, and Jason.

Mac: Jason?

Robin: Carly is Jason's friend. They all look at me as if I made Carly do it.

Mac: You're wrong Robin. Jason doesn't think that.

Robin: Why do you say that?

Mac: He was suspicious of Carly from the beginning. I think finding out that Carly is responsible for accident really opened his eyes about Carly.

Robin: There's still Bobbie and Sonny.

Mac: I know it'll be hard but Robin, you didn't do anything wrong. Don't let them persuade you otherwise.

Robin: I know but...

Mac: No buts Robin. Carly did this. We don't know why and I don't really care if we do find out. I'm just glad she's behind bars where she can't hurt you again.

Robin: I am relief to not have to look over my shoulder anymore.

Mac: Now, maybe we can all go back to living our lives again.

Robin: Does that mean you are ready to take the next step with Mom?

Mac: What do you mean?

Robin: Oh, stop tiptoeing Uncle Mac. I'm an adult now.

Mac: Don't remind me.

Robin: Well?

Mac: Ok, yes. We both have been preoccupied with you and this case. When the trial is over, I think we'll finally have time to ourselves.

Robin: Let me know if you need me to find some place to stay for a while.

Mac: (shocked) Robin!

Robin: Oh, Uncle Mac. You really need to lighten up. Speaking of which, I want you and Mom to have dinner with Luis and I soon.

Mac: You're serious about Luis?

Robin: Luis is important to me.

Mac: I know.

Robin: Will you try to get to know him for me?

Mac: Yes.

Robin: He's really not that bad.

Mac: Only you would say so.

Robin: Did I ever tell you that you are the most understanding Uncle?

Mac: I'm your only Uncle, Robin.

Robin: See, that just proves my point.

Setting: Courtroom

The courtroom is packed for Carly's pretrial. Robin, Anna, Mac, Luis, Brenda and Jax are sitting directly behind Scott Baldwin. Almost everyone was there to support Robin. Bobbie and Sonny are sitting behind Ric. Robin looks around the courtroom for Jason but didn't see him. Robin hasn't had the opportunity to talk to Jason since her trip. She's been busy with the hospital. Disappointed, Robin directs her eyes to the front.

Scott: How are you doing Robin?

Robin: (smiles tentatively) I'm fine.

Scott: I know it's hard for you to be here. Thank you.

Robin: Your welcome.

Scott: It shouldn't take more than an hour.

Robin: Don't worry about it. (Scott gives Robin an encouraging smile and sits back down.) Mom, you never did tell me where you went.

Anna: I had a few leads I had to check on. (The courtroom noise level went up a notch when Carly was lead into the courtroom. Carly gives Robin a dirty look that didn't escape Anna's notice) I see jail time didn't change her any.

Robin: Some things you can count on to be constant (Anna and Robin laughs a little)

Carly sits down next to Ric. She turns around to Sonny and Bobbie.

Bobbie: Are you okay honey?

Carly: I'm going out of my mind. Get me out of her Sonny.

Sonny: We're doing everything we can.

Carly: It's not good enough. (Carly sees Jason walking in the courtroom. Carly smiles weakly at Jason but he looked straight through Carly and over to Robin. Mad, Carly sits down.) Do whatever it takes you have to get me out of here!

Ric: Then tell me what's going on.

Carly: You know everything.

Ric: No, I... (he was interrupted by the court officer)

Officer: Please rise. The Honorable Judge Alan Beckels.

Judge: Be seated. Mr. Baldwin.

Scott: (standing) Thank you your honor. We the people have solid irrefutable evidence that on March 9, 2003 Carly Corinthos planned and orchestrated to end a life of a prominent young woman Robin Scorpio. Mrs. Corinthos was in stable frame of mind while executing this event. The Port Charles Police Department has the evidence that place Carly Corinthos at the scene of the crime. We, the state charge Carly Corinthos with attempted 1st degree murder (noise level rises as Scott sits down. Courtney walked in and goes to sit next to Jason.)

Judge: Silence. How do you plea Mrs. Corinthos?

Ric: (Ric and Carly stand together) We plea innocent your honor.

Judge: Mr. Baldwin, please proceed.

Scott: The people call Commissioner Mac Scorpio to the stand. (Mac goes up to the stand and is sworn in) Commissioner, could you give us an overview?

Mac: On March 9, it was reported that Robin was missing. She was supposed to go from General Hospital to Brenda Barrett's house. Brenda called looking for Robin at around 10:00pm looking for Robin. The staff at General Hospital had indicated that Robin left at around 6:30pm. We became concern when the snow started to come down hard. At around 1:30am the following morning, Jason Morgan spotted Robin's card plowed against a tree on Highway 13. The car was covered in snow. The fire department was able to extract the car and Robin was rushed to General Hospital.

Scott: Thank you Commissioner.

Judge: Mr. Lansing.

Ric: (approaches Mac) What is your relationship with the victim?

Mac: I am her uncle.

Ric: What is the department's policy regarding missing person?

Mac: 24 hours.

Ric: Ms. Scorpio was missing less than 4 hours and the Port Charles police were involved. Why was that Commissioner?

Mac: The department did not become involve. Detective Scorpio, Robin's mother and I were planning to go out with the bulldozer to sweep the streets. The fire department was called after Detective Scorpio and I arrived at the scene.

Ric: Would you say that Ms. Scorpio received special treatment because she's the Commissioner's niece?

Mac: No. There was no priority given to Robin that wouldn't have been given to anyone else.

Ric: Thank you, no further questions. (Mac steps down and goes to sit back down next to Robin)

Scott: The people call Detective Taggert (Taggert approaches the stand and was sworn in.) Detective, could you provide details of your investigation?

Taggert: After the Robin was taken to the hospital the car was pulled from the ditched and towed to the tow yard. Analysis of tire tracks and skid marks indicated that Robin's car was pushed off the road by another vehicle. The back bumper of the car was heavily damaged, estimated impact at 40mph. At the tow yard, we verified that car was not tampered with. I visited body shops in and within 10 miles of Port Charles looking for car that had damaged in the front. One of the shop reported that someone sold them a black Mercedes SLK 320 with front damages. The car had been repaired in the mean time. But the owner still had the damaged front bumper and side fender. Forensics determined that it was perfect matched to Robin's car. The car was registered to Carly Corinthos. It was reported that on March 9th, Carly Corinthos gave the car to one of the boy working there for a lift back to Port Charles (the courtroom grew loud. Bobbie looks worriedly to Sonny. Carly turns slightly and sees Jason. He gives her a hard stare.)

Scott: Did you ask Mrs. Corinthos about the car?

Taggert: She said she gave the car away to an organization because she was tired of it.

Scott: Thank you Detective.

Judge: Mr. Lansing.

Ric: (approaches Taggert) Did you actually see the car Detective?

Taggert: I went to see the car after talking to the owner.

Ric: When did you know the car belonged to Carly Corinthos?

Taggert: After I ran the vehicle identification number.

Ric: That's all. (Taggert stepped down)

Scott: The people rest Your Honor.

Judge: Mr. Lansing.

Ric: We rest your honor. (Carly stunned and turns to Ric)

Carly: What the hell are you doing?

Ric: Stay calm if you want to get out.

Judge: Looking at the evidence presented to me, I have no choice but to proceed with this trial. Trial will commence on June 2.

Ric: Your honor, we request that Mrs. Corinthos be release into my custody.

Scott: Objection your Honor. This is not a first offense for Mrs. Corinthos. She was found guilty of shooting a man. Her husband is linked to organized crime. She cannot be trusted to not flee.

Ric: Your honor, my client has ties to this community. She has a small child.

Scott: Of which, she no longer has custody of.

Ric: Your honor, my client has been no trouble in prison. She needs to be with her child. I take full responsibility for my client's whereabouts.

Judge: (thinks for a moment) You are guaranteeing the presence of your client at trial?

Ric: Yes, your honor.

Judge: The defendant is release to Mr. Lansing. (Carly smiles) Do not leave town Mrs. Corinthos, I warn you of the repercussion. Mr. Baldwin any requests?

Scott: I request that Mrs. Corinthos gives up her passport and drivers license. She is also to stay 1 mile away from Ms. Scorpio.

Ric: That's ridiculous your Honor. My client and Ms. Scorpio have common friends and relatives.

Scott: Your Honor, Mrs. Corinthos have made threats to Ms. Scorpio that have been witnessed by these common friends and relatives.

Judge: Mrs. Corinthos, you will surrender your passport and drivers license. You are also ordered to stay away from Ms. Scorpio that means to no phone calls, letter, email or any form of physical contact. If you see Ms. Scorpio in a room, you will leave. Any exception to this you will be taken back into custody. Do you understand?

Ric: Thank you your honor.

Officer: All rise. (the judge leaves)

Carly: Thank you.

Ric: Thank me by not doing anything stupid.

Scott: I'm sorry Robin

Robin: (a little sad) You tried.

Scott: If she comes anywhere near you, call me. I'll throw her back in jail so fast she won't know what hit her.

Robin: Thank you. (Robin and everyone make their way out. Carly smiles cunningly at Robin.)

Sonny: (sees the exchange) Don't start Carly. You just got out.

Carly: What?

As Robin walked out, she sees Jason standing next to Courtney. Robin gives Jason a blank look. Jason looks at Robin as she walks out with Luis. As Robin walked out, the reporters started snapping pictures and throwing questions at her. Mac and Luis tried to guide Robin out of the courthouse.

Back inside the courtroom, Carly was all smiles at being released. Jason and Courtney stood on the side looking at her. Carly sees Jason and walks toward him.

Carly: Jase, thank you for coming. I'm so glad you're here.

Jason: (Jason gave Carly angry look) I didn't come here for you. (Jason walks away with Courtney following. Carly was left standing with her mouth open. She can't believe Jason walked away.)

Ric: Let's go get your release paper.

Carly: Ok.

Ric: Do you want to go to the penthouse and pick up some clothes?

Carly: What? What are you talking about?

Ric: The judge released you to me. That means I'm responsible for your whereabouts.

Sonny: What are you suggesting?

Ric: Anything that Carly does is reflected on me. If she flees then I'm held responsible.

Sonny: You have my word she won't.

Ric: I'm sorry that's not good enough.

Sonny: Look, I can't have my wife living with you.

Ric: Then she goes back to jail. I'm not going to risk my future.

Carly: Why don't you move into the penthouse? There's a spare room.

Bobbie: (chimes in) That's a good suggestion. The penthouse is a lot more private and secure.

Sonny: Fine.

Ric: Fine.

Jason tried to look for Robin but she was gone. He hasn't been able to see Robin since his trip. Jason didn't like the look that Robin gave him. She looked so sad.

Courtney: Jason, who are you looking for?

Jason: Robin.

Courtney: She probably left already. Do you feel like getting something to eat?

Jason: (distracted) Yeah sure.

Courtney: I could make you something at my place.

Jason: Fine. (Jason and Courtney walked off together)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac, Robin, and Anna walked in the house together. All three seems to be a little preoccupied.

Anna: (goes to put her arm around Robin) Can I make you anything?

Robin: (shakes her head) No. I'm going to head off to GH.

Anna: I thought you had the day off.

Robin: I do but I need to do something.

Mac: Robin, Carly is not going to get away with this.

Robin: I hope not. I'm just a little angry right now so I'm going to do something constructive before I blow up.

Mac: (smiles a little) Ok. See you for dinner?

Robin: Ok.

Anna: Bye honey

Robin: Bye.

Anna: This is one of those times that I wish I were still with the WSB.

Mac: I know this is hard but we do have a tight case. How was your trip?

Anna: Nothing new. I wanted to search David's house but he wouldn't leave long enough.

Mac: You were going to take that risk? God Anna, what if he found you?

Anna: He didn't.

Mac: What am I going to do with you?

Anna: (laughs at Mac) Nothing.

Setting: Courtney's apartment

Courtney and Jason enter the apartment. Courtney notices Jason was still a little preoccupied.

Courtney: Have a seat. What do you want to eat?

Jason: (sits down on the sofa) Anything.

Courtney: I could make us some sandwiches.

Jason: Ok.

Courtney: (from the kitchen) Turkey ok?

Jason: Yeah. (Jason mind drifts back to the courthouse. He remembers Robin's face. She almost looked upset with him. Robin must know that he didn't want Carly released. Jason covers his face with his hands in frustration.)

Courtney: Jason, are you ok? (She puts the plates down on the coffee table and sits down next to Jason on the sofa.)

Jason: Yeah.

Courtney: Carly was happy to be freed. I'm surprise the judge let her out. Was that why Robin looked so upset?

Jason: You mind if we talk about something else?

Courtney: (surprise) Sure. How do you like your classes?

Jason: It's interesting.

Courtney: And your professors?

Jason: They're not bad. (there's a knock at the door)

Courtney: I wonder who that could be. (goes to open the door) AJ.

AJ: Sorry I stopped by without calling. I wanted to see if I could pick up the rest of my stuff.

Courtney: (lowers her voice) Now, it's not good time.

Jason: (goes to the door. AJ is surprise to see Jason) I have to get going.

AJ: I can come back.

Jason: No. Thanks for the sandwich.

Courtney: No problem.

Jason: Bye. (he leaves and AJ walks in)

AJ: I didn't mean to interrupt.

Courtney: We're just having some lunch. (gathers the dishes and goes to the kitchen. Comes back out) I packed up your stuff. It's in the bedroom.

AJ: Thanks. I asked Alexis to start working on the divorce papers.

Courtney: Oh. I thought you might have wanted to wait until after the custody case.

AJ: I don't see the point in waiting. You're obviously ready to move on.

Courtney: AJ, I didn't mean for things to be like this.

AJ: Yeah, me too.

Courtney: I hope we can be friends.

AJ: I don't know. I loved you and trusted you Courtney.

Courtney: I'm sorry.

AJ: We've wasted too much time together. It's probably better if we stay away from each other.

Courtney: If that's what you want.

AJ: (goes to the bedroom to get his bags) Thanks for packing this stuff up. Bye. (AJ leaves.)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly and Sonny walked into the penthouse. Carly goes to the sofa and sits down.

Carly: Thank god I'm home.

Sonny: (pours himself a drink) You ready to tell me what's going on?

Carly: I'm out of jail.

Sonny: It may not be permanent.

Carly: What are you talking about?

Sonny: They have a tight case against you.

Carly: Scott will find a way to ruin the case.

Sonny: Stop dodging the question. I want to know what's going on.

Carly: (she goes to stand next to Sonny) Nothing is going on.

Sonny: What did I tell you about lying to me Carly?

Carly: I'm not.

Sonny: Explain how you damaged your car.

Carly: I didn't.

Sonny: (louder) Damn it! (Carly jumps a little) Stop lying.

Carly: I'm not. When I gave the car away it was fine.

Sonny: Why did you give the car away? Who did you give it to?

Carly: I don't know. It's not like we don't have the money to another one Sonny.

Sonny: (frustrated) You're hiding something.

Carly: I'm not Sonny.

Sonny: I have to go out. Do not and I repeat do not go anywhere near Robin. Take Johnny with you.

Carly: Fine! (As soon as Sonny leaves, Carly picks up the phone and starts dialing) Thank god, I need your help.

Voice: I told you not to call here.

Carly: The police have evidence that I'm responsible for the accident.

Voice: That's not my concern.

Carly: (angry) Well, it better be. If I go down, I'm taking you down with me.

Voice: I don't think so.

Carly: I'll tell everyone that you paid me to do it.

Voice: It's not in your best interest to do so. You have a lot more to lose. I don't think your husband will appreciate the truth.

Carly: I won't go down alone.

Voice: Then you better find a way to fix it.

Carly: (hears the line dead) Damn you!

Setting: GH

Robin is at the nurse station looking over patient charts. Robin was still in a bad mood from the trial.

Amy: (coming up to Robin) What are you doing here?

Robin: I needed to keep busy.

Amy: That must mean the trail didn't go very well.

Robin: You could say that.

Amy: I hope you know that you have all of our support here.

Robin: Thanks Amy (hands Amy the charts) I'm finished with these.

Amy: (surprise by the number of charts) How long have you been here?

Robin: Just a few hours.

Amy: Tony is reviewing new medical devices that were dropped off earlier. Maybe, you could help him.

Robin: Ok. Thanks Amy.

Amy: No problem

Setting: Tony's office

Robin knocks on Tony's door.

Tony: Come in.

Robin: Hi.

Tony: (smiles at Robin) Is it today your day off?

Robin: (sits down in the chair) Yes.

Tony: (notices Robin looking a little down) From your expression, I can guess how the trial went.

Robin: You could say that. What do you have there?

Tony: (holding a PDA in his hand) This is supposed to the device that every doctor should have according to the hospital's technical staff. (hands it Robin)

Robin: (plays around with the PDA) What's so special about it?

Tony: It has the complete FDA drug listings and complete information. If you're not sure of how a drug will interact with another drug, this PDA will tell. Plus, you can do your email and surf the Internet.

Robin: Wow, that's great. They're thinking of rolling this out to all the doctors?

Tony: They're going to do beta testing with the resident advisors.

Robin: (smiles as she's playing with the PDA) Technology is so great. I don't think I would have survived medical school without my laptop.

Tony: You youngin are so spoil. Back in the old days, we had to rely on our memory.

Robin: (laughs at Tony) Youngin? Tony, you're not that old.

Tony: I feel old.

Robin: (still laughing) You should for calling us youngin.

Tony: (smiles) I'm glad you're feeling better.

Robin: Thanks Tony.

Setting: Mac's house

Anna: (opens the front door) Hi Jason.

Jason: Anna. Is Robin here?

Anna: No. She went to GH.

Jason: I thought she had the day off.

Anna: She did.

Jason: Thank you.

Anna: Jason, I think it might be a good idea for you to keep some distance from Robin right now.

Jason: I can't do that.

Anna: I know that you've worked hard to rebuild your relationship with Robin. But right now, Robin is angry and hurt.

Jason: It's my fault.

Anna: I didn't say that.

Jason: You didn't have to.

Anna: (sees how hurt Jason looks) Just give her few days to put everything in perspective.

Jason: (nods his head) Ok.

Anna: But I will tell Robin that you stopped by.

Jason: Thank you.

Anna: Bye Jason. (she watches Jason leaves)

Mac: (coming out of the kitchen) Who was at the door?

Anna: It was Jason looking for Robin.

Mac: I don't know if Robin wants to see him.

Anna: I told Jason that.

Mac: How did he take it?

Anna: He was hurt. They have made so much progress in their relationship. I hate to see it get ripped apart.

Mac: I'm sure that's what Carly is hoping for.

For the next week or so Jason and Robin didn't see each other. Jason followed Anna's advice and stayed away from Robin. Jason concentrated on his classes and worked with Benny to close out his activities with the organization. Courtney has been making herself available to Jason. Courtney seems happy with the progress she's making with Jason. Robin on the other hand has been busy with Deception and GH. The first magazine with Robin as the Deception model is due out in stand any day now. Work at GH is busy as ever. Robin helps Monica and other surgeon a lot more often. Robin spends most of her spare time with Luis. Luis hasn't pressure Robin about their relationship. He seems to be happy with things the way they are. Robin has avoided going to Kelly's. She didn't want to take the chance of running into Carly or Sonny. Sonny has been keeping a closer eye on Carly. Carly still hasn't told Sonny the truth and he's determined to find out what she's hiding.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny walks into the penthouse and sees Ric by himself.

Sonny: Where's Carly?

Ric: (looks up the papers he's reading) She's having dinner with Bobbie.

Sonny: Johnny is with her?

Ric: Yes, I think so.

Sonny: How's the case coming along?

Ric: They have an airtight case against Carly. The only thing they don't have is proof that she was driving the vehicle.

Sonny: Was she?

Ric: (looks at Sonny) What?

Sonny: You heard me.

Ric: Do you believe that Carly was driving the car?

Sonny: I don't know what to believe.

Ric: What did Carly tell you?

Sonny: Nothing.

Ric: I don't have much of a defense. Carly hasn't provided an alibi for that night. Without an alibi, she doesn't have any chance of being cleared.

Sonny: Damn!

Setting: Kelly's

Carly comes strolling in with Johnny following behind. She sees Liz working at the counter.

Carly: Where's my mother? (Liz looks at Carly but doesn't respond) I asked you a question.

Liz: (ignores Carly and steps around the counter) Can I get you anything Johnny?

Johnny: (smiles at Liz) No thank you.

Carly: (mad at being ignored. She goes to Liz) I asked you a question.

Liz: I don't work for you.

Carly: You work for my mother that means your working for me.

Liz: That's really sad. You have nothing of yourself so you're leeching off of other people.

Carly: I have more than you.

Liz: In your dreams. (Liz walks to the kitchen)

Carly: What a brat! (At that moment, Bobbie walks in)

Bobbie: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Carly: You really need to hire new help.

Bobbie: What now Carly?

Carly: Elizabeth is rude and a twit.

Bobbie: No one complains about her.

Carly: That doesn't mean anything.

Bobbie: Just leave Elizabeth alone Carly. Are you ready?

Carly: Yeah, let's go.

Setting: The Grille

Mac, Anna, Robin and Luis finally had an open night for dinner. Mac isn't exactly thrill about sharing his meal with Luis. Anna reminded Mac that Luis made Robin happy. So Mac grudgingly agreed to go. They just finished their dinner.

Anna: So Robin says that you're running an export/import business.

Luis: Yes. In my traveling, I've come to collect artifacts and items that are made by the local people of the region. Most of these regions are very poor. This is a way for the local people to some income.

Mac: You benefit also, don't you?

Luis: Yes.

Mac: What kind of price do you pay for these items? (Robin gives Mac a look)

Luis: I try to be fair.

Mac: What is fair?

Robin: Uncle Mac.

Luis: It's alright Robin. I keep 50 percent of the selling price.

Mac: What what is left for the people?

Luis: Whatever is left after I pay the taxes and freight charge.

Mac: What is that exactly?

Luis: It comes out to be 15 percent of the selling price.

Mac: That's not very much in my book. (Robin gives Mac another look)

Luis: It is for these people.

Robin: (trying to change the subject) Lucy called me the other day. She wants to organize a Nurse's Ball this year.

Luis: Nurse's Ball?

Robin: It's a event to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS. Lucy Coe usually organizes the event. She's been doing it for 10 years or so.

Mac: Minus last year.

Anna: I heard the event is anything but dull.

Mac: Especially with Lucy Coe involved.

Luis: What happens?

Robin: Well, it's not exactly a ball. The local people usually put on acts like singing and dancing. Lucy usually does something really outrageous. It's a night to remember the ones who lost to the disease and to bring hope for the future.

Luis: Sounds interesting

Anna: (she squeezes Robin's hand) I'm glad Lucy is doing it this year.

Robin: (smiles) Me too. (At that moment Bobbie and Carly walked into the Grille. Carly immediately spots Robin. Robin happens to look up and sees Carly and Bobbie looking at their table. Anna sees Robin tensing up)

Anna: what is it Honey? (Anna looks in Robin's direction and sees Bobbie and Carly. Mac and Luis also see them) Do you want to leave?

Robin: We're having dinner and we're not finished.

Mac: She's violating her bail.

Bobbie: (sees Carly eyeing Robin) Carly, don't start. We better leave.

Carly: No. We're here to have dinner.

Bobbie: Carly, you know the conditions of your bail. You don't want to go back to jail, do you?

Carly: What? She doesn't own Port Charles. (Carly goes to a table with Bobbie following behind)

Luis: (trying to break the mood) Anna, do you have a sweet tooth like Robin?

Anna: I have to say no.

Luis: That's a shame. The chocolate mouse is very good. Robin, would you like one?

Robin: Is anybody else having anything?

Mac: I'm going to have some coffee.

Robin: Then I guess not.

Anna: Why don't you order something? I need a cup of espresso.

Luis: I'm going to have some cheesecake.

Robin: Ok, I'll have some chocolate mouse.

Luis: Will you excuse me for a minute. (Luis leaves.)

Carly: Look at them over there they make me sick.

Bobbie: Carly.

Carly: What? The commissioner is having dinner with an international arms dealer and no one cares. Look at her, my life is in shambles and she all smiles.

Bobbie: Carly, forget about them. Let's just order.

Carly: Fine. I don't know how I'm going to enjoy my meal with her sitting over there (Bobbie rolls her eyes at Carly) I still can't believe she's the Deception model. What was Brenda thinking? Oh, I forgot. She's also a twit.

Robin: Thank you for having dinner with us tonight.

Mac: (smiles) Your welcome.

Robin: It wasn't that bad, was it?

Mac: No.

Anna: (smiles at Mac's admission) He is very nice and polite. (sees Scott walking in with a officer) Nice timing.

Mac: What? (Turns to see Scott)

Scott: (standing over Carly and Bobbie's table) Now Carly, I thought you understood the terms of your release.

Carly: What? I'm not allowed to eat?

Bobbie: Robin was here when we arrived.

Scott: The terms were clear. You need to come with me Carly.

Carly: (mad) No, I will not. She doesn't own this town. I can eat wherever I want.

Bobbie: Scott, please. Robin would have said something if she was uncomfortable.

Scott: Did you ask Robin?

Bobbie: Well no.

Scott: Thought so. Let's go Carly. (Carly refuses to stand up.)

Bobbie: Carly hasn't done anything Scott. Please just leave her be.

Scott: She should be in jail. That's exactly where she's going.

Carly: You can't do this.

Scott: I can and I will. Get up and let's go.

Carly: No!

Scott: Are you resisting? I would love for you to. That would really end the day nicely for me.

Bobbie: Carly, maybe you should go with Scott.

Scott: Listen to your mother, Carly.

Carly: (gets up finally) You are going to pay for this Scott.

Scott: Are you threatening me?

Bobbie: No, she's not Scott.. (Scott and the officer lead Carly out. Carly glares at Robin as she approaches Robin's table.)

Scott: I suggest you keep your mouth shut Carly.

Carly: Don't tell me what to do. (they finally leave.)

Robin: How did Scott know that Carly was here?

Mac: Scott is dying to jump on anything that has to do with Sonny. He probably has someone tracking Carly.

Luis: (sits back down) What did I miss?

Anna: Scott came and took Carly.

Luis: And the restaurant is still in order? (Everyone laughs a little.)

Bobbie: It's nice to see you all laughing at my daughter's expense.

Anna: You're out of line Bobbie.

Bobbie: I don't think so. I bet you didn't waste anytime in calling Scott.

Anna: Bobbie you're embarrassing yourself.

Bobbie: I thought you of all people should understand. You're a mother after all.

Anna: I do understand. You should be thankful that Carly is still breathing. If you don't mind? (Bobbie looks at all of them and leaves)

Mac: Well this was an eventful night.

Robin: Yes and our desserts haven't arrived yet. I'm going to go to the ladies room. (Robin leaves)

Anna: How happy was Scott when you told him Carly was here? (Mac looks at Anna who was looking at Luis)

Luis: What made you think I spoke to Scott?

Anna: I'll pretend you didn't ask that.

Luis: I'm just doing my law-abiding duty.

Mac: You did call.

Luis: Yes. I don't like seeing Robin upset.

Anna: This time we'll keep the incident to ourselves. But I don't think Robin will want you to do this again (Luis nods)

As Robin was walking out of the restroom, Jason was walking into the restaurant with Courtney. Robin stopped when she saw Jason. Jason's eyes were immediately drawn to Robin. He smiles at Robin. Robin was about to smile in return when Courtney seeing Robin looking at Jason loops her hand around Jason's arm. Robin sees this and walks back to her table. Jason's eyes follow Robin back to the table. He was disappointed to see Luis at Robin's table.

Courtney: Let's go sit down Jason.

Jason: (breaking his gaze from Robin) Ok. (They go to sit down. Jason sat down facing Robin's table)

Courtney: Thank you for going out with me. I felt so cooped up in that apartment.

Jason: (still distracted with Robin) No problem.

Courtney: (opens up her menu) What are you having? (No response. Courtney looks up from her menu to see Jason looking somewhere else. Courtney follows Jason's eyes.) Robin looks nice tonight.

After getting back to the table, Robin was distracted. She keeps wanting to look at Jason but she forces herself not to. She didn't expect to see Jason. She was happy to see Jason. Robin had missed Jason. But Robin felt something when she saw Courtney next to Jason.

Anna: Well, I think we're going to call it a night.

Robin: Oh, ok.

Mac: Why don't you stay and finish your dessert?

Robin: Ok. See you later.

Anna: Thank you for dinner Luis. It was lovely. (Luis stands up with Anna and Mac)

Luis: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Bye Mac.

Mac: Luis. Bye Robin. (Mac and Anna leaves)

Luis: You seem quiet. Are you tired?

Robin: The night was more than I expected.

Luis: Yes. Do you want to head out?

Robin: (Robin looks over at Jason, who was talking to Courtney) Let's go. (Luis pulled Robin's chair back for her. Robin looks again over at Jason's direction. But this time, Jason was looking back at her. They held eyes for a second. Robin broke the look and walks out with Luis.)

Courtney: Liz was asking me if I wanted to participate in the Nurse's ball. I was thinking about it. Are you going to do something? (Jason was still distracted with Robin and didn't answer) Jason?

Jason: Yes?

Courtney: Are you going to do something at the Nurse's Ball?

Jason: No.

Courtney: I heard it's really fun. I can't wait to go. (Jason wasn't listening to Courtney. He was remembering Robin. He remembered how she stood on that stage telling everyone she was HIV. He was so torn for her. He couldn't bare to see her in pain. At that moment, he hated everyone in that room for causing Robin so much pain) Are you going to go?

Jason: (breaks his thoughts) What?

Courtney: Jason, what's going on?

Jason: I can't stay. I have to go. (he gets up)

Courtney: I'll go with you.

Jason: No. I have something I have to do. (Jason leaves. Courtney is left alone at the table)

After leaving the Grille, Luis and Robin went to the dock. They're strolling along the dock.

Robin: It's such a pretty night.

Luis: Spring is fast leaving us.

Robin: Spring makes me remember Paris, the beautiful gardens.

Luis: Versailles.

Robin: Yes. I can stay in that garden forever.

Luis: Did something else happen at the restaurant that I don't know about?

Robin: No, why do you ask?

Luis: You seem quiet.

Robin: (stops walking and looks at Luis) Luis, what do see for us?

Luis: What do you mean?

Robin: Are we friends? Are we a couple? We're definitely not lovers.

Luis: Where is this coming from? I thought you're happy with the ways things are between us.

Robin: Oh, I am. Are you?

Luis: I wouldn't be here if I wasn't. What are you asking Robin?

Robin: I don't know. I feel that I'm taking from you but giving you nothing.

Luis: (smiles at Robin) You give me happiness every time you look at me, every time you smile. I told you that I will wait for you and I haven't changed my mind.

Robin: Is it fair to you? I don't know when I'll be ready.

Luis: Fair is what I make it to be. There is no rush my Robin. I'm not going anywhere.

Robin: (goes to hug Luis) I'm so grateful to have you.

Luis: I believe that's my line. Are you ready to go home?

Robin: Yes.

Luis: (gives Robin a tender kiss) Let's get you home. (They turn to leave and walk right into Jason)

Robin: Jason.

Jason: (his expression softens) Hi.

Robin: Hi. We're just leaving.

Jason: Ok.

Robin: Goodnight (breaks the look that Jason was holding. Jason watches them leave. Robin turns her head slightly and sees Jason looking at her.)

Setting: PCPD

Ric: You can't mean to hold Carly here.

Scott: Why not? The judge was clear with his restriction. Carly violated it.

Ric: She didn't approach Robin.

Scott: Carly isn't even supposed to be in the same room as Robin.

Ric: Look, I'll talk to Carly. It won't happen again.

Sonny: (finally spoke up) You don't want Carly. You want me. Why don't you let Carly go?

Scott: Actually, I'm quite happy with Carly. If you gentlemen will excuse me, it's been a long day.

Sonny: (angry) Carly can't stay here tonight.

Scott: Well, she is. You can talk to the judge tomorrow. Goodnight. (Scott leaves)

Sonny: Damn it.

Ric: I better go let Carly know.

Sonny: (rubs his chin) Yeah.

Carly: (pacing around the cell. She stops when she sees Ric) Finally! What took you so long? Let's go.

Ric: Scott is not letting you out.

Carly: What? He can't do that.

Ric: Yes, he can. You violated the bail agreement.

Carly: I didn't do anything. I just had dinner with Bobbie.

Ric: You were not supposed to be in the same room as Robin. You know this. Why? Did you not think that you would be caught?

Carly: I wasn't thinking.

Ric: I'm sorry there's nothing we can do tonight. We have to talk to the judge tomorrow.

Carly: Tomorrow?

Ric: It doesn't mean you'll be released.

Carly: You can't be serious.

Ric: The terms of your release were clear Carly. You agreed to them.

Carly: There's nothing you can do?

Ric: No.

Carly: Is Sonny here?

Ric: Yes.

Carly: He didn't want to see me?

Ric: He didn't say. I better go. (Ric leaves. Carly goes to sit on the cot. She can't believe Sonny didn't come to see her.)

Setting: Luke's

Robin walks in and sees Luke at the bar. She smiles as she makes her way to him.

Robin: Hi Luke.

Luke: Well hello. How's my favorite Scorpio doing?

Robin: Great. What about you?

Luke: You know me. I'm living. So, what do I owe this pleasure?

Robin: I'm meeting everyone here for lunch but I thought I come a little early to hang with you. I haven't seen you in awhile.

Luke: You've been busy. When does the magazine hit the stand?

Robin: Tomorrow.

Luke: Will you sign a copy for me?

Robin: (laughs) Oh Luke.

Luke: You think I'm kidding? Well, I'm not. One day, it'll be worth a lot of money.

Robin: (laughs more) For the paper, of course.

Luke: So, you are enjoying yourself?

Robin: I am. It's fun being with Lucky and Brenda. It doesn't feel like I'm working.

Luke: Good. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. How's doctor life treating you?

Robin: Busy. I'm assisting in more surgeries now.

Luke: Wow, it's really happening. Robert's little girl is a full-pledged doctor, a surgeon no less.

Robin: (smiles) Yes. Sometimes, I can't believe I'm actually here.

Luke: I am so proud of you kiddo.

Robin: I didn't do it all on my own. I had a lot of help.

Luke: No, you did this all on your own. (Liz, Emily, Lucky, Nicholas, and Tess came in) the gang is here. (everyone exchanged greetings) Why don't you guys take a seat and I'll bring over some drinks.

Robin: Thank you Luke. (They all go to sit a table) I'm glad you guys could come.

Emily: No problem. Nicholas and I wanted to see you before we head off.

Robin: So you guys are going to head out to Australia?

Nicholas: Yes. Emily is letting me tagalong.

Robin: You guys are going to love it. It's so beautiful there.

Liz: I'm so jealous.

Emily: The offer still stands.

Nicholas: Liz can't stand being away from Lucky.

Lucky: That's because she knows she has it good.

Liz: Hey! (Everyone bursts out laughing)

Robin: Don't pay any attention to us Tess. We've known each other way too long to be otherwise.

Tess: No problem.

Robin: How do you like Port Charles?

Tess: Liz has been showing me around. It's nice here. A little quiet but I like it.

Robin: Have you guys figure out what you're going to do for the Nurse's Ball?

Emily: No. Have you?

Robin: I'm not planning to do anything.

Liz: Why don't we all do something together? (Luke brings them their drinks) What are you going to do for the Nurse's Ball Luke?

Luke: I haven't really thought about it.

Emily: You should do something with Lulu. She's so cute.

Nicholas: You might not be able to get her off the stage.

Luke: I'll have to think about it. Lunch will be out in a few. (Luke walks away)

Emily: Lucky, are you going to sing?

Lucky: I don't know.

Robin: You should. You haven't done anything since the last time we were here.

Lucky: (gives Robin a look) I might need a partner.

Robin: (shakes her head) No. Don't get me involve.

Nicholas: Well maybe we should think of doing an act together.

Liz: Tess, do you sing or dance?

Tess: Very badly to both.

Emily: Well don't worry. None of us are really that good except for Lucky. But it is fun.

Tess: Well then I would love to be involved in what you guys decide.

Liz: Ok, then it's settled. We'll all do an act together. (Robin shakes her head)

Yes, Robin you too.

Robin: C'mon. You know Lucy is going to make me do a speech. I'll be too nervous for that to do anything else.

Nicholas: You'll be fine.

Emily: Good so we all agreed. Now all we have to do is come up with an act.

Lucky: Easier said than done. (at the door Jason walks in. Jason makes his way to the bar where Luke is)

Luke: Hi Jason. What can I do for you? (Robin hearing Jason's name, she turns toward the bar and catches Jason's eyes. Jason holds Robin's look. When Jason saw that Robin didn't look away, he walks toward her and smiles.)

Jason: Hi

Robin: Hi. Do you want to join us?

Jason: (didn't bother to look at anyone but Robin) No. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Robin: Oh, ok. (she gets up) I'll be right back. (Jason and Robin walk away)

Tess: Who was that?

Emily: Jason Morgan.

Tess: He sure knows how to make an entrance. Is he Robin's boyfriend?

Liz: No. They used to be.

Tess: No wonder you could feel the electricity in the room.

Emily: Ok, let's not discuss my brother in that way.

Tess: Jason is your brother?

Emily: Yeah long story. I'll tell you one day.

Outside of Lukes...

Jason: How are you?

Robin: I'm fine. You?

Jason: I'm hanging in there. I haven't seen you in awhile.

Robin: I've been busy with GH and Deception. How are your classes?

Jason: Good. I like my professors. (Robin nods her head. Robin was about to say something when Jason interrupted) I'm sorry. You go.

Robin: I was just wondering if you had started on the building yet.

Jason: I did some initial designs. Would you like to see it?

Robin: I love to.

Jason: They're at my apartment. You could come over later to see it.

Robin: (hesitate a little) I don't know.

Jason: How about I make dinner?

Robin: You cook now?

Jason: (laughs) No but I can pour sauce out of jar into a pan.

Robin: I don't want you to go through any trouble.

Jason: I have to eat too.

Robin: Ok then. What time?

Jason: How about 6:30?

Robin: You want me to bring anything?

Jason: (Jason was thinking just you but responded) No.

Robin: I better go back in.

Jason: Ok. I'll see you later. (Jason opens the door for Robin. Jason watches Robin go back to the table and he goes to the bar with Luke.)

Luke: I guess now you're ready to talk to me.

Jason: Sorry.

Luke: I know I'm not as attractive as Robin.

Jason: (smiles a little) I have some spare time if you want me to do the books.

Luke: Yeah? (Jason nods) Well, let's go (they head to the back.)

Robin went back to the table and starts to eat. Everyone looks at the other when Robin didn't say anything. Emily couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.

Emily: What happened?

Robin: What?

Liz: Emily is talking about Jason.

Robin: We just talked.

Emily: Just talked? Jason looked ready to ride you away on his bike.

Robin: We haven't seen each other in awhile.

Nicholas: (shakes his head at Emily and Liz) You better tell them Robin or else none of us will be able to finish our meal.

Robin: It was nothing. Jason invited me over for dinner.

Emily: (a little loud) Dinner? That's not nothing.

Robin: Emily, lower your voice. Jason might hear you.

Liz: Does that mean you're going?

Robin: Jason wants to show me his design for the building.

Lucky: His design?

Nicholas: That's pretty slick.

Robin: You guys stop.

Tess: Robin, Jason is one nice guy looking guy. He did look like he couldn't wait to get you alone.

Robin: Not you too. No more talking about Jason. Eat!

Emily: I want details tomorrow. Nicholas and I aren't leaving until 10.

Robin: There will be no details to give.

Emily: Then call and tell me no details.

Liz: Don't forget to call me Emily.

Robin: (shakes her head) You guys are impossible.

After leaving Kelly's, Robin did a couple of errands. She was trying to keep busy until it was time to go to Jason's. Robin couldn't decide if she should go home and change or not. What would she wear if she did? Did she want to be casual or comfortable? Robin finally decided to shower and changed. She changed into a nice pair of black pants and light red v-neck sweater. On her way to Jason's, she dropped by the bakery and picked up a chocolate cake. Robin felt weird showing up with nothing. Jason, on the other hand has been busy with the spaghetti and sauce. He set the table for 2 and lit some candles. Jason was nervous about Robin coming over. It's been a while since they've been alone together. He was anxious to see Robin again. The doorbell finally rings. Jason takes another look at the dinner table before opening the door.

Jason: (smiles) Hi.

Robin: Hi. (hands Jason the cake) I brought dessert.

Jason: Do you want it now or after dinner?

Robin: (laughs a little) No, I'll wait. (Robin sees the dining table. Her heart melts seeing how much trouble Jason went through) You didn't have to do all this.

Jason: I wanted to. What can I get you to drink?

Robin: Do you have any juice?

Jason: Apple ok? (Robin nods. Jason goes to the kitchen and comes back with a drink for Robin)

Robin: Thank you. (to ease her nervousness, Robin walked to the window.)

Jason: (walks to Robin) Robin?

Robin: (turns to Jason) Yes?

Jason: Is something wrong?

Robin: (shakes her head) No...I'm a little nervous about being here.

Jason: (lets out a breath) I am too.

Robin: You are?

Jason: Yes. (he smiles shyly) I burned the spaghetti twice.

Robin: Oh.

Jason: Are you hungry?

Robin: Yes.

Jason: How about we eat? (Robin nods. Jason and Robin take a seat the table. Jason serves Robin a plate of spaghetti. Jason watches as Robin tastes the spaghetti) How is it?

Robin: (smiles) It's good. Try it. (and Jason does) See?

Jason: Not bad.

Robin: Do you like PCU?

Jason: It's okay. I don't really hangout there or anything.

Robin: Why not? That's what going college is all about.

Jason: I don't think the people like me too much.

Robin: Stop scowling at them. Jason, you are one of the nicest person to know.

Jason: I don't know about that.

Robin: Well I do. Smile more often and you'll make friends in no time.

Jason: I'll have to think about that. (Robin and Jason continued eating and talking lightly. Jason did a lot of laughing when Robin described some of the outfits that Brenda had her wear for some of the photo shoots) Ready for some dessert?

Robin: In a while. I want to see your design.

Jason: Ok. They're in the other room. (Robin follows Jason into the office. Jason pointed out sketches on the drafting table.) These are just the preliminaries.

Robin: (study the sketches) These are interesting. Have you shown them to Julia?

Jason: Not yet.

Robin: I think she'll approve.

Jason: You think so?

Robin: (nods) Yes. You have a lot of talent Jason.

Jason: I don't know about that. It's fun.

Robin: That's probably why you're so good at this. You enjoy it.

Jason: Like you enjoy medicine.

Robin: Something like that. (Robin browses the book on the shelves) You've been doing a lot of reading.

Jason: (goes to stand next to Robin) Yes. It helps.

Robin: (turns to Jason) Help?

Jason: (looks into Robin's eyes) Passes time...from missing you.

Robin: (softly) What was the last part?

Jason: I miss you Robin.

Robin: (bites her lower lips) That's what I thought you said.

Jason: (lifts Robin's chin with his hand) I've wanted to call you so bad. I needed to hear your voice, to hear you say my name.

Robin: (trembling from Jason's touch and admission) Jason.

Jason: (Jason bends down and softly kisses Robin's lips. He can feel Robin's lips quiver under his lips. Jason deepens the kiss and Robin responds. Robin wraps her hand around Jason's neck and Jason engulfs Robin in his arms. Jason felt he was in heaven.) God Robin! (desperately and hungrily Jason tightens his arms around Robin and kissed Robin deeper. He was so hungry and craving for her. Jason couldn't get enough of Robin.)

Robin: (pushing back a little) Jason wait. We can't do this.

Jason: (disoriented) Why not? I'm dying for you Robin. I can hardly eat. I can barely sleep without dreaming of you.

Robin: (walks a little away from Jason) Please don't say anymore.

Jason: (follows Robin) Why? It's true. You felt it when you were in my arms.

Robin: I thought that we were passed this.

Jason: We'll never pass this Robin. I will always be drawn to you.

Robin: I can't do this.

Jason: Do what? Love me?

Robin: Please.

Jason: (lift Robin's chin up so she could look into his eyes) Please love me, Robin.

Robin: (tears flow down Robin's cheeks) Jason, don't do this. I can't do this.

Jason: (not wanting to see Robin in pain, he wraps his arms around Robin) I love you Robin Scorpio. You gave me life and you gave me my heart. I'll love you until my last breath. (Robin listens to Jason's declaration without replying. Jason continues to hold Robin tightly in his arms as Robin listens to the frantic beating of Jason's heart. After a few minutes, Robin steps out of Jason's arms.)

Robin: I don't want to hurt you Jason.

Jason: How do you hurt me?

Robin: I can't return your feelings.

Jason: You can't? I don't believe that Robin. I felt you respond to me just now.

Robin: I don't know how to not respond to you. But I won't let it go any further.

Jason: Why Robin?

Robin: (takes a deep breath) I don't want to get hurt again.

Jason: But I won't hurt you Robin. (Jason place his hand over his heart) I promise you that with all my heart.

Robin: I know you would never intentionally hurt me. But I can't take that chance.

Jason: You can't forgive me, can you?

Robin: I've forgiven you Jason. Though I don't think it was all your fault that we fell apart. I don't know if I'm capable of loving you honestly and completely again.

Jason: Have you tried?

Robin: I don't want to lose myself again. I gave you everything that I had inside of me and it wasn't enough for you.

Jason: Don't say that Robin. It wasn't you. It was me! I became so obsessed with Michael that I didn't see straight. I didn't want to see how miserable you were with the arrangement. I didn't want to see that we were pulling apart from each other. But Robin I never for one second stopped loving you.

Robin: Then why did you let me go? Why did you fall in love with Carly? (With tears in her eyes)

Jason: I was angry. I lost you and Michael in matter of days and I blamed you.

Robin: You don't blame me now?

Jason: I know I was wrong in keeping Michael away from AJ. I was wrong to expect you to lie for me. I wanted you to change your beliefs for me and I was wrong.

Robin: (can't believe that Jason is saying all of this) How?

Jason: I witnessed Elizabeth changed herself for Lucky. I didn't understand why until she explained that she wanted Lucky to love her. She was doing it for their love. It made me realize that I made you changed for me. I didn't ask you to lie but I expected you to live with lies. I was wrong for lying and I was wrong for forcing you into the situation.

Robin: (takes a few steps away from Jason. She's waited so long for this. She didn't know how to handle it now that Jason is admitting all of this) I don't know what to say.

Jason: I've wanted so many times to call you, to see you. I yearned for a letter, a call from you, any sign that you still wanted me. If there were just one signal, I would have been at your door in a heartbeat, Robin.

Robin: I was waiting for the same thing.

Jason: (Jason takes Robin's hands in his) We don't have to wait anymore. We're here. We're together.

Robin: (Robin looked into Jason's eyes. She wanted so much to believe) I can't. (Jason felt the air goes out of his lungs hearing Robin's rejection) I should leave. (Robin looks at Jason. She didn't want to hurt him) I'm sorry Jason (Robin starts to walk out of the room)

Jason: Every time I lose you, it gets harder. (Robin looks at Jason one last time and leaves. Jason listens for the front door. Jason rushed out of the room Robin but Robin was already gone.) I won't let you go again Robin.

Robin drove home feeling sad and depressed. She couldn't bare the look on Jason's face when she rejected him. He looked so hurt and crushed. She didn't want to hurt him. But Robin just couldn't tell him what he wanted to hear. She wanted to. But something stopped her. Robin had hoped for so long for Jason to say those things. She felt so much hope and happiness in hearing Jason say those words to her, to know that Jason never stopped loving her. Thoughts of Jason swirl inside Robin's mind as she makes her way to the house.

Sonny: (softly) Robin

Robin: (a little startled by Sonny's presence) What are you doing here?

Sonny: I needed to speak to you.

Robin: (looks questionably at Sonny) Can't it wait until tomorrow?

Sonny: No.

Robin: I'm listening.

Sonny: I know I have no rights to ask you this but I hope for the sake our past, you will help me.

Robin: Help you with what?

Sonny: Will you talk to the judge?

Robin: Why?

Sonny: He won't release Carly.

Robin: (not quite believing what she's hearing) You are kidding me, right?

Sonny: I'm dead serious. He won't release Carly because of you.

Robin: You really have some nerve Sonny. Carly tried to kill me and you're asking me to get her out of jail.

Sonny: I know she didn't try to kill you Robin.

Robin: How do you know that?

Sonny: She knows how important you are to me.

Robin: Explain the car, explain why it was damaged, and explain why she lied about giving it away.

Sonny: I can't. I don't have the answers.

Robin: Go away Sonny.

Sonny: Robin, please. Carly is going crazy in there. She hasn't been able to see Michael.

Robin: Why is that my problem?

Sonny: It's not. I'm asking you to help me.

Robin: Why should I help you? You abandoned me for 4 years and now you want my help. Who the hell do you think you are?

Sonny: I was once your friend.

Robin: Was. Go home Sonny! (Robin walked inside the house)

Mac: (sees Robin walking in) Hi.

Robin: Hi.

Mac: I didn't expect you home so early.

Robin: Where's Mom?

Mac: Sleeping upstairs. (notices Robin was a little somber) something wrong?

Robin: (sits down next to Mac on the sofa) Sonny was outside.

Mac: He was? What did he want?

Robin: He wanted me to talk to the judge about Carly.

Mac: The judge didn't want to risk Carly going after you.

Robin: Do you think I should talk to the judge?

Mac: It doesn't matter what I think. What do you think?

Robin: I'm mad that Sonny asked that of me. He cut me out of his life because he thought I betrayed Jason. Carly was one of the reasons for all of that.

Mac: Then you don't need to get involve.

Robin: That's what I told Sonny.

Mac: But you're having second thoughts.

Robin: Oh Uncle Mac, I don't want to punish Sonny. My issue is with Carly.

Mac: Does that mean that you're ok with Sonny being married to Carly?

Robin: No. But I can't judge him. He seems to love her.

Mac: And ultimately you want Sonny to be happy.

Robin: Yes.

Mac: Even if it means with Carly.

Robin: I guess so.

Mac: Sometimes the people who we love the most are the very ones who hurt us the most. We want to lash back but we can't because deep down we still love them. I know how much it hurt you when Sonny turned his back on you. I could kill him for that. But my love for you is more important to me than my anger toward Sonny. You and Sonny might never get back what you had but at least you know that Sonny must still honor you very much to ask for your help.

Robin: (smiles at Mac) Have I told you lately how glad I am to have you?

Mac: Not in the last 5 minutes or so.

Robin: I am really lucky to have you. No matter how angry you are with me, you never stop loving me.

Mac: Life sometimes deals us some really bad cards and you've had your share of them, always know that I will always be here for you.

Robin: (Robin hugs Mac) I love you Uncle Mac.

Mac: I love you too. (Anna witnessed the entire scene standing on the stairs. Her eyes fill with tears seeing Mac with Robin. Anna didn't want to interrupt them so she quietly went back upstairs.)

Setting: Judge Alan Beckel's chamber

Judge: Ms. Scorpio, are you sure you want this?

Robin: I'm sure.

Judge: May I ask why you are choosing to do this?

Robin: (thinks for a minute) If Carly is guilty, I want justice. But until then, she should be able to continue living her life. Her being in jail is hurting the people who love her too much.

Judge: Why is that your concern?

Robin: I don't know. I shouldn't but I can't seem to help it.

Judge: (nods as if he understood what Robin was trying to say) I will do as you request Ms. Scorpio. But if Mrs. Corinthos violates the terms again, she will be held in prison until her court date.

Robin: Thank you.

Judge: Your welcome Ms. Scorpio. I must say this was the most unusual request I've received during my time on this bench.

Robin: (smiles weakly) My life so far has been very unusual. Thank you for your time your Honor.

Judge: Goodbye Ms. Scorpio (Robin leaves quietly)

Setting: Kelly's

Liz: He's getting so big AJ.

AJ: I know.

Liz: Can I get you anything else Michael?

Michael: (shakes his head) No thank you.

Liz: I'll leave you guys to your meal. Let me know if you need anything.

AJ: Thank you Liz.

Michael: When can I my mom?

AJ: I don't know. I need to check with Sonny.

Michael: I want to see my mom.

AJ: How would you feel about seeing Sonny today and you can ask Sonny about your Mom?

Michael: (a little happier) Really?

AJ: Yes. We'll go right after we finish here. (AJ smiles as Michael starts chewing his food) Michael I need to speak to Liz at the counter. Could you stay here at finish your food? (Michael nods his head. AJ smiles and rubs Michael's head as he was getting up from his chair. As AJ was getting out of his chair, Tess bumped right into him)

Tess: I'm so sorry.

AJ: (holding Tess steady) Are you okay?

Tess: Yes, just a little embarrassed.

AJ: No harm done. Are you new in town? I haven't seen you before.

Tess: I just moved here a month or so.

Liz: Hi Tess.

Tess: Hi Liz.

Liz: Your order is not quite ready. Can I get you anything?

Tess: No, thank you.

Liz: (notices that Tess and AJ can't stop looking at each other) Have you guys met?

Tess & AJ: No.

Liz: AJ Quatermaine, Tess Winters.

AJ: (smiles warmly) Hi Tess.

Liz: Tess is working at Deception with Brenda.

AJ: How do you like it so far?

Tess: It's different. Brenda is really fun to work with.

AJ: Brenda has fun with life period.

Tess: (nods her head) Yes, she does.

AJ: You want to join us while your order is ready?

Tess: You don't mind?

AJ: Not at all. (AJ pulls a seat out for Tess)

Liz: Let me go check on your order.

AJ: Tess, this is my son Michael.

Tess: Hi Michael.

Michael: Hi. (goes back to his food)

AJ: (smiles) He trying to finish his food so he can go visit his Mom.

Tess: Oh.

AJ: His mother and I are not together. (trying to clarify)

Tess: I didn't mean to pry.

AJ: You're not. Why the move to Port Charles?

Tess: My dad is heading up a division for Barrett Corporation.

AJ: Your dad works for Julia?

Tess: Yes. Do you know Julia?

AJ: Julia and Brenda are close to my family.

Liz: (hands Tess a bag) Here's your order. I put it on Brenda's tab.

Tess: Thank you. (she gets up) it was nice meeting you.

AJ: I hope we meet again.

Tess: (smiles) Bye Michael. (Michael waves at Tess. AJ watches Tess leaves)

AJ: She's nice.

Liz: Yes. She's also single.

AJ: (looks at Liz) Thanks for the info.

Liz: Just trying to be helpful.

Michael: I'm ready.

AJ: (looks at Michael's empty plate) Yes, you are. Ok, let's go. (AJ gives Liz some money) thank you Liz.

Liz: Your welcome. Bye.

Setting: Brenda's office

Jason walked in quietly. He sees Brenda sitting at her desk reading.

Jason: Hey.

Brenda: (surprised, she smiles at Jason) What did I do now?

Jason: (with a half smile) Nothing. I haven't seen your office.

Brenda: (steps around her desk) So, what do you think?

Jason: (looks around) Ok.

Brenda: Ok? (Nods her head a few times) I swear Jason you really need to try to use complete sentences.

Jason: It's ok.

Brenda: (shakes her head) What's going on?

Jason: I wanted to ask you something.

Brenda: (notices that Jason was a little off) What? (Jason doesn't answer) What Jason?

Jason: I want to do something special for Robin.

Brenda: (Brenda smiles from ear to ear) Really? Why?

Jason: Are you going to help me?

Brenda: You're not going to tell me why?

Jason: No.

Brenda: You're no fun Jason. (sees that Jason was serious) what did you have in mind?

Jason: I don't know, something romantic.

Brenda: (shocked) Romantic?

Jason: Yes.

Brenda: Something romantic. (taps her finger against her lips) when do you want to do this?

Jason: Soon.

Brenda: What's the rush?

Jason: Brenda.

Brenda: Ok. Well I know Robin is scheduled to work double shifts for the next couple of days. You can do a special dinner for her.

Jason: That's romantic?

Brenda: (gives Jason an annoying look) Candlelight dinner, music, and flowers.

Jason: Music?

Brenda: Music does make some people feel romantic Jason.

Jason: Where?

Brenda: (pace slowly while she thinks) It has to be close to the hospital .(Brenda smiles) I got it. The rooftop.

Jason: Rooftop? That's romantic.

Brenda: You really need help Jason. The rooftop is perfect. It's private, weather is nice, you can see the stars and if there's an emergency Robin is close by.

Jason: Ok. It could work.

Brenda: Work? It's perfect! We could setup a little table, spread tons of candles around for soft lighting, place some flowers here and there, and a violin. Violin is very romantic.

Jason: I don't know Brenda.

Brenda: I thought you wanted to do something special?

Jason: I do.

Brenda: Well believe me, Robin will love it.

Jason: Ok. How do I do this?

Brenda: I'll ask Tess to help you with the details. You'll have to find a way to get Robin up to the rooftop.

Jason: No problem.

Brenda: Oh, you should wear something nice, a tie.

Jason: Isn't that going overboard?

Brenda: Robin always thought you look so handsome in a tie.

Jason: A tie?

Tess: (walking in with the food bag) Sorry I'm late with lunch.

Brenda: No problem. Tess, have you met Jason Morgan?

Tess: Not properly.

Brenda: Jason Morgan, Tess Winters.

Jason: (smiles) Hi Tess.

Tess: (can't stop staring at Jason. Tess can't believe how even more handsome he is closed up) Jason.

Brenda: Jason needs your help Tess.

Tess: With what?

Brenda: Jason wants to plan a special dinner for Robin and he needs help with the arrangement.

Tess: Oh, ok. What do you need me to do?

Jason: Brenda said we should have the dinner on the rooftop of GH.

Tess: Ah, that's so romantic.

Brenda: (nods her head at Jason) See, told you.

Jason: I need to find the violinist, order some flowers, and food.

Tess: That's easy enough. When did you want to do this?

Jason: Is a couple of days ok?

Tess: Sure Brenda doesn't have anything lined up for me.

Jason: Thank you.

Tess: I'll call you with the details.

Jason: Ok. I have to head to class. Thank you Brenda.

Brenda: Thank me with detail later.

Jason: We'll see. Bye. (Jason leaves)

Tess: He is really hot.

Brenda: Yeah.

Tess: He has it pretty bad for Robin.

Brenda: That's for sure.

Tess: I thought Robin was involved with Luis.

Brenda: She is. Jason is hoping to change her mind.

Tess: Wow, to have 2 cute guys fighting over you.

Brenda: It's not that great believe me. Come on let's eat. (Tess and Brenda start to eat their lunch)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse.

Sonny is sitting on the couch reading some papers.

Johnny: AJ Quatermaine is here.

Sonny: What does he want?

Johnny: Michael is with him.

Sonny: Ok. (walks to the door)

Michael: (runs to Sonny) Daddy!

Sonny: (picks Michaels up) Hey buddy. How are you doing?

Michael: Fine. Why haven't you visited me?

Sonny: I've been tied up with business. (Sonny notices AJ standing silently behind) AJ.

AJ: Sonny. Michael was asking about Carly.

Michael: Where's Mom?

Sonny: She's away right now.

Michael: When will she be back?

Sonny: (his heart breaks hearing Michael's question) I don't know.

Michael: I miss her, daddy.

Sonny: I know you do. She misses you too.

AJ: Do you expect Carly soon?

Sonny: I have no update. (AJ nods)

AJ: Michael wanted to visit with you. Do you mind dropping him off at my office in a couple of hours?

Sonny: (not quite believing the gesture) I can do that.

AJ: Michael, you stay with Sonny for a while. Sonny will drop you off at my office in a couple of hours.

Michael: Ok. Bye.

AJ: (smiles at Michael's happiness) See you later kiddo.

Sonny: Thank you AJ.

AJ: I didn't do it for you. (he leaves)

Sonny: So what do you feel like doing?

Michael: I don't know.

Sonny: Are you hungry?

Michael: (shakes his head) Just ate. Where are my toys?

Sonny: In your room.

Michael: Can I go play with them?

Sonny: Sure buddy. I'll be here if you need me. (Sonny watches Michael walk up the stairs. Sonny doesn't know what to tell him about Carly. Sonny rubs his neck in frustration) Damn it Carly, what are you hiding from me?

Setting: Mac's office at PCPD

Mac: (talking on the phone) Is it possible for track his whereabouts for the last year? Anything you have would be great (sees Anna walking into his office) Let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks. Bye. (hangs up the phone) Hi.

Anna: Busy?

Mac: A little. I had a friend of mine is running a background on David.

Anna: David? Why?

Mac: I want to make sure we cover all of our tracks.

Anna: How does that involve David?

Mac: I'm hoping that it doesn't. Are you okay with this?

Anna: Sure, why not? If he's involved with Robin in any way, I want to know about it.

Mac: (nods his head) I'm glad I didn't overstep my boundaries.

Anna: Why would you think that?

Mac: I didn't want to make any assumption regarding Robin without you knowing.

Anna: Mac, I trust you completely. Where is this coming from?

Mac: This case has too many loose ends and no answers.

Anna: That doesn't explain why you think I don't trust you.

Mac: (goes around his desk to Anna) I hope that you trust me.

Anna: Of course I do. (looks at Mac) what's going on Mac?

Mac: Nothing.

Anna: (she reaches for Mac's hands) Mac, I love you. David is my past. There's no reason for you to worry about my feelings.

Mac: I feel so foolish. Any minute now, I expect you to tell me that you're going back to Pine Valley, to David.

Anna: That's not going to happen. My life is here with you and Robin.

Mac: (exhale a breath) I worry too much?

Anna: (nods her head) Yes. I didn't realize my trips to Pine Valley had an effect on you.

Mac: I thought I was losing you already.

Anna: (smiles tenderly at Mac) I'm not going anywhere. You are really stuck with me.

Mac: No complaints here. I love you Anna.

Anna: I love you too. (she moves in to kiss Mac tenderly. Mac wraps his arms around Anna waist to bring her closer to him.)

Voice: This is a friendly police department. (Anna and Mac broke apart hearing the voice)

Anna: Aidan! What are you doing here?

Aidan: I came to see my aunt of course. (he goes to give Anna a kiss on the cheek) how are you?

Anna: I'm fine. What about you?

Aidan: No complaints.

Anna: Aidan, I want to meet Mac Scorpio. Mac, this is Aidan, my nephew.

Mac: (reaches his hand out to Aidan) Nice to meet you.

Aidan: Likewise. You're Robert's brother.

Mac: Yes. How long are you in town for?

Aidan: It's up in the air.

Anna: Robin will be so happy to see you.

Aidan: Where is she?

Anna: Working at General Hospital.

Aidan: My little cousin, the surgeon.

Anna: (smiles) She won't like you referring to her as little. What are you really doing here?

Aidan: Can't I visit my family without the third degree?

Anna: (sternly) Aidan.

Aidan: Ok, ok. I needed to get out of Pine Valley.

Anna: Are you in some kind of trouble?

Aidan: Why do you always assume that is the case?

Anna: Because I know you.

Aidan: Things are a little heated with heated with Maria, Edmund, and David. I thought I'd removed myself from the picture for a while.

Anna: I'm glad you're here.

Mac: Where are you staying?

Aidan: Don't know yet.

Mac: We have room at the house. You're more than welcome.

Aidan: You sure?

Mac: Of course.

Anna: You want to see Robin?

Aidan: Sure.

Anna: (to Mac) I'll be back in a bit.

Mac: Take your time.

Aidan: Bye Mac. (Aidan and Anna leave) He's a nice fellow.

Anna: Yes, he is.

Aidan: Is he why you're not going back to Pine Valley?

Anna: Partly. Robin lives here now and I want to be near her.

Aidan: How is she?

Anna: She loves working at the hospital. Plus she's the Deception model.

Aidan: What? When did this happen?

Anna: In the last month or so.

Aidan: A model. I never would expect that.

Anna: Robin is doing it as a favor to Brenda.

Aidan: Her best friend.

Anna: Yes. Is everything ok with you Aidan?

Aidan: Yes. I had to leave Pine Valley. I wasn't a help to Maria.

Anna: I'm sorry. I know how much she means to you.

Aidan: I think Edmund is the right person to help her regain her memory. She knows how to reach me if she needs me.

Anna: (wraps her hand around Aidan's arm) I'm glad you're here.

Setting: Brenda's office

Jax: Hi

Brenda: Hi. What are you doing here? I thought you had meetings all day.

Jax: (going over to Brenda) I missed you.

Brenda: I miss you too. (they give each other a kiss) you look tired.

Jax: I am. These meetings are too long.

Brenda: Here, sit down. I'll give a shoulder rub. (Jax sit down on the chair as Brenda rubs his shoulder) you feel so tight.

Jax: Your fingers feel so good. How's your day?

Brenda: (smiles) I had a good day.

Jax: Yeah?

Brenda: Jason came by wanting help on how to woo Robin.

Jax: That was good?

Brenda: (laughs) Yes. He sounds very committed to getting Robin back.

Jax: Well I hope Robin gives him hell.

Brenda: Jax! I kind of thought Jason was cute for thinking of Robin.

Jax: Want to head out for an early dinner?

Brenda: Sure.

Jax: (hands Brenda's hand) Let's go then.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse.

Carly quietly walks into the apartment. She stops when she saw Sonny playing with Michael.

Carly: Michael? (Michael looks up hearing Carly's voice. He runs to her.)

Michael: Mommy! Where have you been?

Carly: It doesn't matter. I'm here now.

Sonny: They let you leave?

Carly: (nods her head) Yes.

Sonny: What changed?

Carly: I don't know.

Sonny: (goes to Carly and gives her a quick kiss) I'm glad you're home.

Carly: Me too. What is Michael doing here?

Sonny: AJ brought him over.

Carly: What?

Sonny: Michael has been asking about you and AJ didn't have answers.

Carly: What? He didn't take the chance to ruin me?

Sonny: Just accept this as it is Carly. You want to go clean up a little?

Carly: Yeah.

Sonny: I need to take Michael back.

Carly: No, I just got here.

Sonny: I'll ask AJ if we could visit with Michael tomorrow.

Carly: I can't believe we have to grovel to see our own son.

Sonny: I'll be back in a bit. Michael, we need to get you home.

Michael: Ok.

Carly: Give me a hug before you go. (Michael hugs Carly) Bye. I'll see you soon. (Carly watches Sonny and Michael leave)

Setting: GH

Jason: Hi Amy

.

Amy: Hi Jason. What can I do for you?

Jason: Could you tell me if Robin has anything going on between 6 and 8 tomorrow night?

Amy: (flipping through her clipboard) Just rounds. Why?

Jason: I wanted to bring her dinner.

Amy: That's nice. I'll be sure she's around then. (seeing Robin walked toward the nurse's station) there's Robin now (Jason turns around to see Robin heading toward them. At the same moment, Anna and Aidan got off the elevator.)

Aidan: Scorpio! (Robin stopped in her track. She turns to Anna and Aidan. She smiles seeing Aidan and runs to Aidan and throws her arms around Aidan's neck.)

Robin: Aidan!

Aidan: (swings Robin in his arms) Does this mean you're happy to see me?

Robin: Very happy. (Aidan puts Robin down) what are you doing here?

Aidan: I came to see my favorite girl.

Jason and Amy witnessed the entire scene from the nurse's station. Jason felt a pain in his stomach when he saw how happy Robin was at seeing Aidan. Jason didn't know who this Aidan was. From the way he was holding Robin, they look intimate. Robin was totally absorbed in Aidan, Jason noticed. Jason saw that Aidan still had his arm around Robin's waist. Jason felt a wave of jealousy flow through him. He walked off without a word to Amy or Robin.

Robin: Hi Mom.

Anna: Hi darling.

Robin: This is such a surprise. How long are you in town for?

Aidan: I don't know yet.

Anna: Aidan is staying at the house so you guys will have tons of time together.

Robin: Good.

Aidan: Dr. Scorpio. Should I bow or curtsy?

Robin: (laughs at Aidan) Neither. Come on, I'll introduce you around. Mom, can you stay?

Anna: I need to get back to the station.

Robin: Ok.

Aidan: I'll be here with Robin for a while and then I'll find my way to the house.

Anna: Call me if anything comes up.

Aidan: I'll be fine. Bye.

Robin: Bye Mom.

Anna: Bye you too. (Anna leaves)

Aidan: Your mom worries too much.

Robin: And yours didn't?

Aidan: Got me there.

Robin: Amy, I like you meet my cousin Aidan.

Amy: Hi Aidan.

Aidan: Amy.

Amy: Jason was just here looking for you Robin.

Robin: He was? Where is he?

Amy: I guess he left.

Robin: Did he need something?

Amy: No not really.

Robin: Oh. I'm going to show Aidan around. Page me if you need me.

Amy: Ok. It was nice meeting you Aidan.

Aidan: Same here. (Aidan and Robin walked off together) so how do you like being back in Port Charles?

Robin: Very much. I love working here.

Aidan: I heard about your extracurricular activities.

Robin: (blushes a little) You're referring to the modeling thing.

Aidan: I am. How did that come about?

Robin: It's a long story.

Aidan: I have time.

Robin: Not now. What are you really doing here?

Aidan: What is it with you Devane women?

Robin: We're persistent?

Aidan: Things were getting too sticky in Pine Valley. I needed a break.

Robin: I'm glad you're here.

Aidan: Who's this Jason? (Robin doesn't answer) Robin, he better not be the same Jason.

Robin: Aidan.

Aidan: (a little loud) Robin! What are you thinking?

Robin: Please Aidan. We're just friends.

Aidan: (louder) Friends? After what he pulled?

Robin: Lower your voice Aidan. I don't want to talk about Jason.

Aidan: Well, I do. His name shouldn't even be part of your vocabulary.

Robin: Aidan, please.

Aidan: (drops his head) Ok, I'll drop it for now. But this is not over Robin.

Robin: Fine. I have an hour for dinner you want to grab something to eat?

Aidan: Sure.

Setting: Kelly's

Brenda: You sure you want to eat here?

Jax: Of course.

Brenda: I can't believe it's summer already.

Jax: It's been a busy year.

Brenda: A lot has happened.

Jax: You came back to me.

Brenda: (smiles sweetly at Jax) And you took me back.

Jax: Always.

Robin: Hi you 2.

Brenda: Hey.

Jax: Hi Robin. Want to join us?

Robin: Sure. Jax, Brenda this is Aidan, my cousin.

Aidan: Nice to meet you.

Brenda: Robin didn't tell me she had such a good-looking cousin.

Aidan: Well, thank you.

Jax: Hello, I'm sitting right here.

Brenda: Oh honey, you have nothing to worry about. (Robin laughs)

Jax: Are you going to stay in town for a while, Aidan?

Aidan: Don't know yet.

Brenda: You should stay. Port Charles has a lot to offer.

Aidan: Like what?

Brenda: Well, we have nice docks, pretty girls, and lots of local entertainment.

Aidan: Pretty girls huh?

Robin: Don't pay any attention to Brenda. She's messing with you.

Aidan: I never turn down pretty girls.

Jax: Don't say that. Brenda will set you up with every girl she knows.

Courtney: (a little abruptly) Can I take your order? (Everyone gave their order and Courtney leaves.)

Brenda: What's her problem?

Aidan: (give Courtney another look) Can't be her looks.

Robin: (hits Aidan on the arm lightly) Hey.

Aidan: What? (At the door Sonny walks in and goes to the counter. Sonny gives everyone at the table a brief look walking by) What's with him?

Jax: One of Port Charles bad points.

Brenda: Jax. That's Sonny Corinthos.

Aidan: Why does he sound familiar?

Robin: He and I used to be friends.

Aidan: That's Sonny? (Gives Sonny another look) I expected him to be bigger.

Jax: Bigger?

Aidan: He's a shrimp. (everyone burst out laughing which drew Sonny and Courtney's attention.)

Brenda: Don't let him hear you say that.

Jax: Where are you staying?

Aidan: Mac offered me a room at his place.

Brenda: Is Mac turning his house into a hotel?

Robin: Ha ha.

Aidan: (puts his arm around Robin's shoulders) Mac knows how much I want to be close to my girl. (Jason was at door and heard what Aidan said. Jason saw Robin smiling at Aidan. Jason walked to counter. Aidan felt Robin stiffen as Jason makes his way to the counter.) What is it?

Robin: Nothing. (trying not to look at Jason.)

Aidan: Robin?

Brenda: (sees Jason at the counter with Sonny) Robin always gets like that when Jason is around.

Aidan: (gives Jason a look-down) Jason Morgan.

Jax: Unfortunately.

Aidan: (getting up from the table) I think it's time for me to meet this Jason Morgan.

Robin: (stops Aidan) Please don't.

Aidan: (sees the distress on Robin's face) I'll let it pass today. (Aidan gives Robin a quick kiss on the forehead) you okay?

Robin: (nods her head) I'm fine.

Jason and Sonny are at the counter looking at the table. Jason noticed how protective Aidan was toward Robin. Jason couldn't understand why the guy keeps giving him looks.

Jason: Do you know who that guy is?

Sonny: No.

Jason: I saw him at the hospital earlier with Anna.

Sonny: He looks close to Robin.

Jason: Yeah.

Courtney: (coming out from the kitchen) Hi Jason. I didn't expect you tonight.

Jason: I ran out of food at my place.

Courtney: What can I get you?

Jason: Cheeseburger and fries. You staying Sonny?

Sonny: For a little bit.

Jason: I'll eat it here then.

Courtney: I'll be back in a bit.

Jason: Why does he keep looking over here?

Sonny: I don't know. Carly is out.

Jason: How?

Sonny: I don't know. (Robin laughs at something that made Sonny looked at her) I'll be damn.

Jason: What?

Sonny: I'll be right back

Jason: Where are you going? (But Sonny already was walking toward Robin)

Sonny: Robin, can I speak to you for a minute.

Aidan: (roughly) She doesn't want to talk to you (Robin placed her hand over Aidan's.)

Robin: What do you want to talk to me about?

Sonny: It's private.

Aidan: Robin has no secrets from her friends.

Robin: I'll be just a minute (Robin gets up from the table and goes outside with Sonny following) what is it?

Sonny: I wanted to thank you.

Robin: For what?

Sonny: Carly was released today.

Robin: Is that it?

Sonny: Why did you do it Robin?

Robin: I didn't do it for Carly or you.

Sonny: Thank you all the same. (Robin nods her head and walks back inside. Sonny also walks back in.)

Jason: What was that about?

Sonny: Robin talked the judge into releasing Carly.

Jason: What? How do you know that?

Sonny: She just told me.

Jason: I don't understand. Why would Robin do this?

Sonny: She said she didn't do it for Carly or me.

Jason: Then why?

Sonny: I don't know. (Sonny and Jason continues to look at Robin's table. Everyone at the table seems to be having a good time talking and eating.)

After spending most of last night talking to Robin, Aidan finally fell asleep. Aidan woke up with thoughts of Maria. He wondered what she was doing. Aidan made his way down the stairs and noticed that the house was empty. He went into the kitchen and opened up the fridge. Nothing looks interesting so he grabbed his coat and left. Aidan got to the docks and wandered around. There weren't anybody on the docks. Aidan was about to leave when he heard a voice.

Julia: (talking into here phone) I need the contract today. This had been dragged out too long (pause) No more excuses. If you can't accept the terms of the contract, then we can forget the entire deal (pause) You have until 5:00 o'clock today. No further (aspirated, Julia puts the phone away. Julia wasn't aware that Aidan was staring at her from the steps. Julia was searching through her bag as she was walking up the steps. She misstep and almost fell but Aidan caught her. Stunned, Julia just stared at Aidan.)

Aidan: Are you okay? You really need to watch where you're going.

Julia: (was dumbfounded for a second) You can release me now.

Aidan: (still with his arms around Julia) I'll think about it.

Julia: (gives Aidan an annoyance look and steps away from Aidan) I think not.

Aidan: Are you not going to say thank you for saving you?

Julia: Did I ask you to save me?

Aidan: I did catch you.

Julia: I would have preferred the steps.

Aidan: Ouch! Dent to my ego. (Aidan gave Julia a thorough look from head to toe. Julia felt uncomfortable under Aidan's scrutiny.)

Julia: Are you quite finished with your inspection?

Aidan: I may never finish.

Julia: (can't quite believe what a jerk Aidan was) Well I am. (she makes an attempt to step around Aidan but Aidan stepped in front of Julia) Let me pass.

Aidan: We haven't been properly introduced.

Julia: We're not going to.

Aidan: That's not very gracious. (Julia again tries to step around Aidan and again Aidan steps in front of her. Julia gives Aidan a look.)

Julia: Do you mind?

Aidan: First your name.

Julia: None of your business.

Aidan: That's a very long name. What's your last name?

Julia: Also none of your business.

Aidan: You have a very interesting name, none of your business.

Julia: (trying to stay compose) I am in a hurry. Would you mind?

Aidan: Since I don't quite believe that none of your business is your name, how about I give you a name? (Thinks for a moment)

Julia: Excuse me? Are we really having this conversation?

Aidan: You have the most amazing green eyes. They're very expressive. Jade.

Julia: I'm not having this conversation. (Julia brushed past Aidan and leaves.)

Aidan: (to himself) Hong Kong Jade.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny was reading the newspaper when Carly made her way down the stairs.

Sonny: How does it feel to be out?

Carly: Words can't describe. I don't ever want to the inside of a jail again.

Sonny: It will be over soon.

Carly: Not if the saint has anything to say about it.

Sonny: How is this Robin's fault?

Carly: (realized she said the wrong thing) Well Mac is her uncle and her mother is the detective.

Sonny: Are you saying Mac and Anna are dirty?

Carly: It's not unheard of.

Sonny: When are you going to start telling me the truth?

Carly: Why do you think I'm lying? Because your saint saids so.

Sonny: Robin didn't say anything about you. Don't make this about Robin. This is about you and me. Can I trust you?

Carly: Sonny, you know you can. I've proven to you that you can trust me.

Sonny: What about this? Explain to me what happened to your car.

Carly: I don't know what happened.

Sonny: (frustrated) I am going to find out what happened. It's better that you tell me.

Carly: I have nothing to tell.

Sonny: Don't say I didn't give you a chance Carly. I'm giving it to you right now.

Carly: Why are you doubting me? I'm not the one who's lying.

Sonny: Are you saying that I'm lying?

Carly: Aren't you?

Sonny: What am I lying about?

Carly: You are so righteous. You expect honesty and respect from other but you can't give it, can you?

Sonny: I am honest and respectful of you.

Carly: Don't you dare insult me. I am not stupid.

Sonny: What are you talking about?

Carly: I saw you.

Sonny: Saw me what?

Carly: Don't pretend Sonny.

Sonny: I'm not. What did you see?

Carly: (angry with tears down her cheeks) I saw my own husband kissing his ex-lover's sister. Are you going to deny it? (Sonny looks at Carly and then looks away. He takes a few steps away and then back toward Carly.)

Sonny: When?

Carly: There was more than one time? You bastard!

Sonny: (louder) When?

Carly: New Year's Eve! (wipes her tears)

Sonny: Why didn't you say anything?

Carly: What do you expect me to say? Did you like kissing her? Were you pretending she's Brenda? Damn you Sonny! I trusted you.

Sonny: I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to see that.

Carly: What did you mean? Not to get caught? Anybody could have seen you? Is that what you call respect?

Sonny: I don't know what to say.

Carly: Where's your honesty now?

Sonny: It was just that one time.

Carly: (glares at Sonny) Don't lie to my face. Don't you dare!

Sonny: I swear it.

Carly: What were you doing with her when I fell?

Sonny: What did you see?

Carly: (loud) What were you doing?

Sonny: We were just talking.

Carly: Stop lying! You had your hand on her face.

Sonny: You saw that? Is that why you fell?

Carly: How do you expect me to react? My husband was touching another woman in public. You disgust me, your talk of respect, honor, honesty. It's all crab. I'm tired of living by your standards when you can't even live by it.

Sonny: Carly, I'm sorry.

Carly: What are you sorry for? Getting caught?

Sonny: I'm sorry that I caused you pain. I never meant to.

Carly: Then why did you?

Sonny: (goes to Carly) I was wrong. (he gathers Carly into his arms) I am so sorry.

Carly: I don't know what I would do if I lost you Sonny. You are my world.

Sonny: You're not going to loose me.

Setting: Mac's office

Mac: Did Aidan say how long he'd be in town?

Anna: Not really. But I am glad he's here.

Mac: Robin is too. So I take it that he has feelings for Maria.

Anna: Maria seems to trust Aidan and no one else.

Mac: How does Edmund feel about that?

Anna: Angry, disappointed, jealous take your pick.

Mac: It must be difficult for him.

Anna: Yes. Hopefully with Aidan here, Maria will turn to Edmund.

Mac: What's your caseload like?

Anna: High.

Mac: (smiles a little) Are we working you too hard?

Anna: I enjoy the work. (Mac's phone rings)

Mac: Scorpio.

Luke: It's Luke.

Mac: Where are you? I can barely hear you.

Luke: I'm in Mexico.

Mac: What? Why?

Luke: No time to explain. I think you might want to head out here.

Mac: What's going on?

Luke: I can't talk. I'll be at Diego Caliente in Mexico City.

Mac: I'll head out today. Are you ok?

Luke: Yes but hurry. (Luke hangs up abruptly)

Mac: Luke! Luke!

Anna: What Mac?

Mac: Luke is in Mexico City. He wants me down there.

Anna: Why?

Mac: He couldn't say. (start to gather up his stuff.)

Anna: I'm going with you.

Mac: No! Absolutely not!

Anna: You're not going alone Mac. We're in this together.

Mac: Please Anna. I'd be too worried about you.

Anna: I can take care of myself. You forget whom I used to work for.

Mac: Who's going to look after Robin?

Anna: Aidan's in town. I'll tell him to keep an eye out for Robin.

Mac: Fine.

Anna: Let me call Aidan and then we can leave. (Anna picks up the phone and dials a number)

Aidan: Hello?

Anna: Aidan? It's Anna. Mac and I need to head out of town on an emergency. Could you keep an eye out for Robin?

Aidan: What's going on?

Anna: I can't go into details now.

Aidan: No problem.

Anna: We don't know how long we'll be gone. Will you let Robin know?

Aidan: Ok. Be careful.

Anna: I will. Thanks Aidan.

Aidan: Bye.

Anna: Ok, let's go.

Mac: Anna, we don't know what we're heading into.

Anna: I'm going Mac. You'll need backup.

Mac: I can't win with you. Let's go.

Setting: Kelly's

After getting of the phone with Anna, Aidan walked into Kelly's. He goes to the counter where Liz was.

Liz: Can I help you?

Aidan: Coffee.

Liz: (pours Aidan his coffee) Anything else?

Aidan: What's good to eat here?

Liz: Chilli is highly recommended.

Aidan: Chilli it is.

Liz: Ok. I'll be back in a minute. (Liz goes to back to the kitchen. Aidan drank his coffee and was thinking about why Anna and Mac need to rush off. Why did he have to keep an eye out for Robin? What's going on? At that moment, Jason came in and walked to the counter. Jason was standing next to Aidan without realizing. Aidan recognizes Jason. Aidan gets up from the stool and faced Jason. Jason turns to Aidan and 2 men glares at each other.)

Aidan: What did Robin ever see in you? (No answer from Jason) You killed the best years of Robin's life. Do you find it hard to sleep at night?

Jason: My relationship with Robin is none of your business.

Aidan: That's where you're wrong. Everything about Robin is my business.

Jason: (annoyed) And who are you?

Aidan: Someone who will kill you if you ever hurt Robin again.

Jason: (steps closer to Aidan) Why would I pay any attention to you?

Aidan: If you value your life. (Liz came out of the kitchen to see the 2 at each other's face. She goes to stand in front of them.)

Liz: What's going on here? (No one answered her. They continued to glare at each other) Jason!

Jason: What?

Liz: What is going on?

Jason: He's talking about things that are none of his business.

Aidan: If you don't stay away from Robin, you'll find how exactly it is my business.

Jason: Robin is not your property.

Aidan: Coming from you? You tossed her when she became inconvenient for you. (Jason threw at punch that landed at Aidan's left jaw. Aidan rubs his jaw.) Did I hit a nerve? (Aidan popped Jason in the eye. The 2 went at each other. Liz tried to push herself in between.)

Liz: Stop it. (trying to push Jason away) I said stop. What are you thinking? (She looks at Jason)

Jason: He asked for it.

Liz: Jason, maybe you should head out. Your eye looks like it needs some ice. (Jason was about to protest) You don't want to do this Jason. (Jason looks at Liz and knew she was right. He leaves grudgingly. Liz watches Jason leaves and then turns to Aidan.) Would you mind telling who you are and why you're picking a fight with Jason?

Aidan: And who are you?

Liz: Elizabeth Webber. I'm a friend of Robin's.

Aidan: You can't be very much of friend if you stuck up for Jason like that.

Liz: I resent that. You don't know anything about Jason or me.

Aidan: I know all I need to know about Jason Morgan.

Liz: (annoyed) Who are you again?

Aidan: Aidan.

Liz: Aidan. How do you know Robin?

Aidan: She's my cousin.

Liz: I didn't know Robin had any cousin.

Aidan: Now you do.

Liz: What is you problem?

Aidan: Why do you assume I have a problem? Maybe you're the one with the problem.

Liz: (glares at Aidan) I'm not the one provoking a fight with Jason.

Aidan: He didn't need much provoking.

Liz: (frustrated with the answers Aidan was giving her) I have to get back to work.

Aidan: No one is stopping you. (Liz gives Aidan a nasty look and walks back to the kitchen. Aidan reached into his pocket for some money and throws it on the counter.)

Setting: GH

Monica requested a meeting with Robin in her office. Robin didn't know what was going on and she was a little nervous. Robin knocks on Monica's door.

Monica: Come in.

Robin: (walks in) You wanted to see me?

Monica: Yes. Please seat down. (Robin takes a seat) I have been reviewing your patient charts.

Robin: (apprehensively) Did I do something wrong?

Monica: (smiles at Robin) Not at all. I'm very impressed with your thoroughness on these cases. You've gotten very good reviews from your patients. (Robin releases the breath that she was holding) you are making very nice progress here at GH.

Robin: Thank you.

Monica: As you know, the hospital is really short of funds. We've had to let go a few of the resident doctors because of budget cuts. What this means for the rest of us is longer hours and more patients we have to deal with.

Robin: (sadly) Are you letting me go Monica?

Monica: (surprise by Robin's question) Of course not. Why would you think that?

Robin: Like you say, budget cuts.

Monica: As a matter of fact, I was delicately preparing you for long hours and more patients.

Robin: (happy to hear Monica's words) Really? You're not letting me go?

Monica: No. I was hoping you'd stay even with the added workload.

Robin: I wasn't planning on leaving. I made a commitment to General Hospital and I plan to fulfill it.

Monica: I'm really glad to hear that. Robin, the hours are going to be longer. I don't know how long this recession is going to last. I don't see any relief in the near future.

Robin: I'm fine Monica. I've worked twice as hard to get where I am today.

Monica: Well, you've really made my day.

Robin: I'm glad I could help.

Monica: Before you leave, there's something else that I wanted to talk to you about.

Robin: What is it?

Monica: I never properly thank you for encouraging AJ to fight to Michael's custody.

Robin: It's not necessary.

Monica: Please let me finish. I know how much it cost you to tell AJ the truth. Even though I was disappointed with the situation, I must say that I'm very grateful that the truth came out. Michael has done wonders for AJ and his self-esteem. AJ is independent and happy now. You are a big factor in that. You never had any doubts about AJ being a good father to Michael. Thank you for being so kind to my son.

Robin: Please don't give me any credit. AJ deserves all the credit.

Monica: You have my gratitude all the same.

Robin: (a little uncomfortable with the conversation) Was there anything else?

Monica: No. Thank you for stopping by.

Robin: Your welcome (Robin leaves)

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason came back to his apartment after his encounter with Aidan. Jason was mad and hurt that Aidan knew so much about him. Jason wonders who Aidan was. He seems to know a lot about Robin. Jason can feel the jealously creeping inside of him, another guy who knows Robin intimately. Jason was finding it difficult to not be mad at Robin for having another guy in her life. He wonders how many guys Robin had in her life since they've been together. The thought of Robin with another guy was making his blood boil. The idea of another guy kissing and touching Robin was making him sick. He wanted desperately to punch something. Jason remembered his eye and went to the kitchen for some ice. His phone rings.

Jason: Morgan

Tess: Jason, it's Tess.

Jason: Hi.

Tess: Everything is all set for tonight. The caterer will set up the table and food at 5:30. The violinist will be there at quarter til. Dessert is chocolate soufflé like you wanted.

Jason: You thought of everything.

Tess: Your instructions were specific.

Jason: Thank you for helping me with this.

Tess: Your welcome. Oh, I didn't know what kind of flowers Robin liked so I bought everything at the florist. It should there when the caterer arrives.

Jason: Ok.

Tess: Well that's it.

Jason: Thank you.

Tess: Call me if you need anything else.

Jason: I will. Bye.

Tess: Bye Jason. (Tess hangs up. Jason almost forgot about the dinner that he had planned for tonight. Jason got some ice out of the freezer and puts it on his eye.)

Setting: GH

Aidan: (walking toward the nurse's station) Amy right?

Amy: (all smiles) Hello Aidan. What can I do for you?

Aidan: I was looking for Robin.

Amy: I think she's in the break room reviewing charts.

Aidan: Where's that? (Amy points toward the break room) Thank you.

Amy: No problem.

Aidan: (walking into the break room) Hey you.

Robin: (looks up at Aidan) Hi. What are you doing here?

Aidan: Anna and Mac had to head out of town on emergency. They didn't have time to call you.

Robin: What's the emergency?

Aidan: Anna didn't get into it.

Robin: Oh.

Aidan: I'm missing something. (sits down at the table with Robin)

Robin: What do you mean?

Aidan: Anna sounded very worry about you.

Robin: I guess you don't know.

Aidan: Know what?

Robin: Carly tried to run me off the road a few months ago.

Aidan: What? Now, you tell me this?

Robin: Mom said you have other things going on. I didn't want to bother you.

Aidan: Robin, you're my family. Nothing is more important.

Robin: Please don't be mad. I have a lot of people taking care of me.

Aidan: (quiets for a moment) Is this the same Carly who slept with Jason and ruined your life?

Robin: Yes.

Aidan: (loud) I don't bloody hell believe this!

Robin: Aidan. (trying to calm Aidan down) She's awaiting trial.

Aidan: I don't like this one bit Robin. You were happy and safe in Paris. You've been back here less than 6 months and someone tried to kill you.

Robin: I'm happy here.

Aidan: How? Jason Morgan is here. That Sonny Corinthos is also here. How can you stand to look at either one of them?

Robin: Jason and I are working things out.

Aidan: (not quite believing what he's hearing) What did you say?

Robin: Stop yelling Aidan. I said Jason and I...

Aidan: I heard what you said Robin. Are you out of your mind? The guy ruined your life. Why would you want to work things out with him?

Robin: Because I can't stay mad and angry all the time.

Aidan: Just stay away from him then.

Robin: (lets out a sigh) I'm not going to defend my relationship with Jason...

Aidan: (interrupts Robin) Relationship? You have a relationship with him now?

Robin: It's doesn't matter what I have with Jason. I'm not going to justify it with you Aidan.

Aidan: Robin, I'm very tempted to take you to the airport and put you on the first plane back to Paris.

Robin: (smiles at Aidan) You'll miss me too much.

Aidan: I'm serious Robin.

Robin: I know you are. I love you for wanting to protect me.

Aidan: Just tell me why you're doing this.

Robin: I don't know. For some unexplainable reason, I'm drawn to Jason. I was mad and angry at him when I first came back to Port Charles. I really wanted Jason to suffer for the pain that he caused me. But he has suffered Aidan. Jason never got the chance to see Caitlin or hold her. He didn't even know he had a daughter.

Aidan: Whose fault is that?

Robin: It wasn't all Jason's fault. I'm partly to blame.

Aidan: You didn't sleep with anyone. You didn't keep a child away from his father. You didn't move in with an ex-lover.

Robin: I know what you're saying Aidan. But I went along with the situation.

Aidan: So it's all water under bridge?

Robin: No.

Aidan: Sounds like it to me.

Robin: Jason and I are on speaking terms. We don't hate each other and we don't fight when we see each other. I guess we're friends.

Aidan: Friends? Don't kid yourself Robin. You and Jason can never be friends. You have too much history.

Robin: What do you propose I do? Be angry all the time, walk away when I see Jason approach?

Aidan: The later option sounds good to me. (notices that Robin was getting mad) I want you to be happy and safe.

Robin: I am. I'm with my friends and family. I have a job that I love.

Aidan: And Jason?

Robin: I told you. We're friends. There can't be anything else between us.

Aidan: I'm glad to hear that.

Robin: You are worst than Uncle Mac.

Aidan: Don't you forget it. (Robin shakes her head) I better let you get back to work. When will you be home?

Robin: I have the double shift today. I won't be home until tomorrow morning.

Aidan: Ok. Don't go anywhere without letting me know.

Robin: (fakes a salute) Yes sir. Bye (Robin watches Aidan leaves.)

Setting: Jason's apartment, early evening

Jason takes another look at his eye in the mirror. It didn't look too bad but he was sure Robin would notice. He didn't know how he was going to explain it. Jason fixed his tie and grabbed his jacket. He was putting on his jacket as he opens the front door.

Courtney: Jason. (holding some grocery bags)

Jason: Courtney. What are you doing here?

Courtney: I thought I'd come over to make you some dinner.

Jason: I'm heading out.

Courtney: (looks at Jason and noticed how nice he looked) You look nice.

Jason: Thank you.

Courtney: Where are you going?

Jason: I have to be somewhere.

Courtney: (clearly disappointed) Oh. I could make dinner and wait for you.

Jason: No, I'll be gone for a while.

Courtney: I guess I should have called first.

Jason: I really have to go.

Courtney: (steps away from the door) Ok. I guess I'll see you later.

Jason: Bye. (Jason rushed off)

Setting: GH's rooftop

Jason arrived at the rooftop and saw the caterer setting the table. There were candles lined along the rooftop and some scattered randomly on the ground. The candles created a soft glow. Jason approached the caterer.

Jason: Hi, I'm Jason Morgan.

Caterer: Helen Michael. (looks around the rooftop) what do you think?

Jason: It's beautiful.

Helen: I'm glad you approved. I didn't know what you wanted to do with the flowers.

Jason: I'll take care of it.

Helen: I'll be your server tonight. Is there anything I should be aware of?

Jason: Robin doesn't drink alcohol.

Helen: I have white grape cider.

Jason: (nods his head) I'll let you get back to your things.

Helen: The violinist should be here in 15 minutes.

Jason: Thank you. (Helen walks away. Jason goes the flowers and starts to scattered them around the rooftop. He could smell the light fragrance of the various flowers. Jason makes a mental note to thank Tess later for the flowers.

As Jason was finishing arranging the flowers, the violinist arrives.

Edgar: (extends his hand) Mr. Morgan?

Jason: (takes Edgar's hand) Jason.

Edgar: I'm Edgar Vaughn. (looks around) our lady will be pleased.

Jason: I hope so.

Edgar: Any special request?

Jason: Robin knows a lot more about music than me. She might make requests.

Edgar: I'm going to go get set up.

Jason: There's some food and drinks by Helen. Please help yourself.

Edgar: Thank you. (he walks away. Jason takes another look at his surrounded. Brenda was right. The rooftop is perfect. It's a clear, crisp night. Jason can see the stars and the half moon. He can't wait to see Robin's face when she sees this. Jason hears Edgar adjusting his violin. He sees Helen putting the final touches at the dinner table. Edgar raises his thumb up to Jason and starts playing a soft ballad. Jason inhales a breath and takes his phone out.)

Amy: Second floor station.

Jason: Hi Amy, it's Jason.

Amy: Well hello.

Jason: Is Robin busy?

Amy: She's inside the break room working on charts.

Jason: Do you think you can get her to come up to the rooftop?

Amy: Sure but why?

Jason: (with a small smile) Dinner.

Amy: That's nice. Give me 5 minutes and I'll have her up there.

Jason: Thanks Amy.

Amy: No problem. (Amy hangs up the phone and heads to the break room) Hi Robin.

Robin: (looking up from the charts) Hi Amy.

Amy: Could you do me a favor?

Robin: Sure.

Amy: I think I left my pager on the rooftop.

Robin: Rooftop?

Amy: I was trying to get a little tan during my lunch break. Would you mind going up and checking for me? There's no one at the nurse station so I can't go.

Robin: No problem. My legs need the exercise.

Amy: Thanks Robin. (Amy watches Robin leaves)

Robin decided to take the stairs up to the rooftop. She really did need the exercise. She can't remember the last time she went jogging. She finally gets to the rooftop and opens the door. Robin stopped in her track by her surroundings. Jason sees Robin and approaches her.

Jason: Hi.

Robin: (still taking in her surroundings) Hi. What is all this?

Jason: (smiles at Robin's surprise) Dinner.

Robin looks at Jason and smiles. She slowly walks around the rooftop. Robin can smell the light fragrance of the scattered flowers. Robin finally noticed the sound of violin. She turns toward the sound and sees Edgar. Robin looks over at Jason who was still smiling at her. Robin walks toward the dinner table. She turns back to Jason.

Robin: You did all this?

Jason: I had some help.

Robin: This is for me? (Jason nods his head. Robin was so touched. No one has ever done anything like this for her before. She was so moved) I don't know what to say.

Jason: (approaches Robin) That you're hungry?

Robin: (she gives Jason wide smile) Yes.

Jason: Good. (he pulls a chair out for Robin. Jason seats down across from Robin. Jason couldn't take his eyes off of Robin. He could tell Robin was still very surprise. Helen approaches them with their soup) Helen, this is Robin.

Helen: Hi Robin.

Robin: Hi.

Helen: We're starting off with French onion soup, main course is the grilled Chilean sea bass dressed with lobster sauce served with steamed spinach tossed in olive oil and dessert is chocolate soufflé.

Robin: Sounds delicious.

Helen: Enjoy. (she walks off)

Jason: (lifts the bottle of grape cider and pours into glass for Robin) Helen recommended grape cider. (Jason and Robin pick up the glass flute) you want to make the toast?

Robin: (thinks for a second) To unexpected but very pleasant surprises.

Jason: I'll drink to that. (they cling glasses)

Robin: This soup is delicious. Where did you find Helen?

Jason: I can't give away my secrets.

Robin: Jason!

Jason: No questions.

Robin: But I have so many.

Jason: (laughs) They'll have to stay unanswered. Eat! (Robin went back to eating her soup. Jason knew Robin was dying with her questions. Robin watches Jason while she eats her soup. She was still finding it difficult that Jason did all this. It was so unlike him.)

Robin: Jason?

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Yes?

Robin: (Robin really looked at Jason. He was so beautiful in his suit. The candlelight brought out his blue eyes. Forgetting what she was going to ask Jason) you look very nice.

Jason: Thank you. You look nice in your scrubs.

Robin: (shakes her head a little bit) Thank you. (Robin goes back to eating her soup.)

Jason: Edgar takes requests.

Robin: He does? When I was living in Paris, the sound of violin was everywhere. I would walk home from the hospital and there would be a violinist standing against the wall playing. The cafes at night always have one playing for the couples. It's such a beautiful sound.

Jason: I'll have to thank Brenda for the suggestion.

Robin: Brenda?

Jason: (realizes his blunder) No questions, remember?

Robin: Jason, you can't just drop Brenda's name and not expect me to ask questions. (Helen appears to take their soup away) Thank you. It was very good.

Helen: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Would you like a salad before the main course?

Robin: No, thank you.

Jason: Me either.

Helen: I'll be back in a minute with your dinner.

Jason: How's work?

Robin: You're changing the subject.

Jason: What subject were we on?

Robin: Brenda.

Jason: I didn't invite her. Besides, I think she's with Jax anyway.

Robin: That's not what I was talking about.

Jason: So, how's work?

Robin: (gives up when she realized Jason wasn't going to answer her) Good. You know, I thought that GH was releasing me today.

Jason: What do you mean?

Robin: The hospital had to take budget cuts because of the economy. Anyway, Monica called me into her office. She was telling me how they had to let some doctors go and some doctors left on their own.

Jason: GH wouldn't be stupid enough to let you go.

Robin: (looks at Jason but continues her story) I seriously thought that Monica was letting me go.

Jason: What happened?

Robin: She was actually warning me of longer hours and bigger workload. (Helen brought them their dinners) this looks wonderful.

Helen: Bon appetite

Jason: So you're not going anywhere?

Robin: (takes a bite of the fish) This is so good Jason.

Jason: (smiles at Robin's enthusiasm) Yes, it is. You're staying at GH?

Robin: For now.

Jason: What do you mean for now?

Robin: I'll stay to finish my residency but I don't know what my plans are after that.

Jason: (not liking what he's hearing) You don't like it here?

Robin: I love Port Charles.

Jason: Then why would you want to leave?

Robin: Well, I don't know what the future holds. I might get a better opportunity at a different hospital.

Jason: You would leave just like that?

Robin: (noticed the change in Jason's tone) I still have 2 more years of my residency. I haven't decided anything.

Jason: (Jason didn't like the fact that Robin was considering moving away from Port Charles. She would leave again.) You have family and friends here.

Robin: (seeing the agitation in Jason) I'm not going anywhere now. 2 years is a long time. A lot of things could change. (Jason goes back to eating his dinner. Robin didn't understand why Jason was so agitated. Why did it matter where she worked) Jason, are you ok?

Jason: Yes. (Edgar approaches their table)

Robin: You play beautifully.

Edgar: Thank you. Is there anything special you would like to hear?

Robin: Do you know any piece by Chopin?

Edgar: Yes. (he starts to play a ballad. Robin closes her eyes and takes in the music. Robin looks over at Jason and notices that Jason wasn't as happy as he was when she first arrived)

Robin: Jason, will you dance with me?

Jason: (looks up and into Robin's eyes. He didn't want to stay mad) Yes. (Jason gets up and takes Robin into his arms. Jason gazes tenderly at Robin.) You know I still only dance for you.

Robin: (smiles up at Jason) Thank you. (Robin couldn't take her eyes off of Jason. It felt nice to be dancing in his arms. Robin finally noticed that Jason's left eye was a little swollen. She lifts her hand to lightly touch Jason's eye.) What happened?

Jason: (takes Robin's hand in his) I rather not talk about it.

Robin: Does it hurt?

Jason: It hurts more to look at you.

Robin: (puzzled) Why?

Jason: (tenderly touches Robin's cheekbone with his knuckles) You are so beautiful.

Robin: (Robin felt mesmerized by Jason's touch and words) I could almost believe you.

Jason: It's the truth.

Robin: (breaks the look from Jason and look around the rooftop) I can't believe you did all this for me. (Robin looks at the stars and the moon) Did you arrange that also?

Jason: (looks up and smile) Can't take credit for that. Are you ready for some dessert? (Robin nods. They walk back to the table and sits down. The soufflés were already waiting for them)

Robin: (takes a bite of the soufflé) Um, this is heaven.

Jason: Yes, it is. (not taking his eyes off of Robin. She was perfectly happy eating her soufflé.) I take it you like the soufflé.

Robin: How can you not? It melts in your mouth. You don't like it?

Jason: It's very good.

Robin: (Robin finally remembers about Amy) Did Amy really leaved her pager up here?

Jason: I don't know.

Robin: Amy was in on this?

Jason: I needed her help to get you up here.

Robin: I can't believe you went through all this trouble. Thank you so much.

Jason: You're welcome.

Robin: I'm really going to hate going back to work after this.

Jason: Don't.

Robin: As much as I want to stay, I can't. I have tons of charts to go over and Amy is shorthand at the station.

Jason: Another time then.

Robin: Why did you do all of this Jason?

Jason: I missed you. I wanted to be alone with you.

Robin: (surprised by Jason's admission. Robin didn't know how to respond) I have to get back to work. (Jason nods. Robin gets up from her chair and goes over to Jason. She stands over Jason and smiles down at him. Robin placed a hand against Jason's face and leaned down to place a light feather kiss on Jason's lips.) You are still better than the best. (Robin gives Jason another light kiss on the lips and leaves. Jason was left sitting in his chair. This was the first time that Robin approached him since she's been back. It was the first time that she kissed him first. Jason finally felt some hope for a future with Robin.)

Helen: How did your friend enjoy the evening?

Jason: She loved it, especially the food.

Helen: Good, I'm glad. If there's nothing else, I'll start cleaning up.

Jason: Thank you. (Jason gets up the chair and walk toward the end of the roof. He looked out at Port Charles. He takes in a breath. Jason realized that he hasn't been this happy in a long time.)

Setting: Mexico City

Anna: (walking into a dusty dingy half-lit bar) This is where Luke wanted us to meet him?

Mac: Diego Caliente.

Anna: (takes a seat at a table) How is he supposed to know that we're here?

Mac: I don't know. You have a history of working with him.

Anna: Yeah, that's right. You want to grab us something to drink?

Mac: Beer ok?

Anna: Sure. (Mac goes to the bar)

Mac: (to the bartender) 2 Dos Esquis.

Bartender: (gives Mac the beers) Anything else?

Mac: My friend and I need a place to stay for the night. Any place you can recommend? (Mac slips the guy a 20 dollars bill.)

Bartender: We have rooms upstairs, just the 2 of you?

Mac: A friend of ours is supposed to show up soon. We'll take the room upstairs.

Bartender: (hands Mac the keys) Room C, upstairs to your right. I'll send your friend up.

Mac: Ok, thank you. (Mac goes back to Anna) I think I just made contact.

Anna: Really? Where's Luke?

Mac: Don't know but the bartender will send him up to our room.

Anna: Our room? (Anna looks around the place again) You are joking, right?

Mac: (shakes his head) No.

Anna: (gets up with her beer in her hand) If I see any cockroaches on that bed, we're going somewhere else.

Mac: Detective Scorpio, have you gone soft?

Anna: Watch it! (They make their way upstairs toward the room. The upstairs weren't in any better shape than the bar. They found the room and Mac unlocked the door. In the middle of the room is a bed with a nightstand next to it. The room is painted bright red.) Who in their right mind paints a room red?

Mac: The bed looks clean.

Anna: Good thing for you. I'm going to take a quick shower.

Mac: Ok. (Mac watches Anna go into the restroom. Mac sits down on the bed. He can't figure out why Luke wants him in Mexico so urgently. Mac down his beer and lies down on the bed.)

A while later

Anna came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and her wet hair clinging to her face and body. She sees Mac sleeping on the bed. She smiles and walks to retrieve her night bag. When she turned around, Mac was sitting on the bed watching her.

Anna: I thought you were sleeping.

Mac: (smiling mischievously) I was dreaming about this beautiful naked lady walking around my room. I had to wake up to see if it's real.

Anna: Very funny Mac.

Mac: (gets off the bed and walks toward Anna) Do you need any help?

Anna: (staring at Mac's lean muscular chest) I think I can manage.

Mac: We don't want you to get all sweaty again. (he steps closer to Anna) how was the water. (Mac reaches for Anna's hair).

Anna: It was refreshing. You should try it.

Mac: I will eventually. (Mac leans in to kiss Anna) you taste refreshing.

Anna: Mac, is this a good idea?

Mac: I don't see why not? We're alone in a hotel room where no one can bother us. (he continues to give Anna short sweet kisses.)

Anna: What about Luke? (She managed to squeeze out in between Mac's kisses)

Mac: He's not here. (Mac leads Anna toward the bed) you are so beautiful Anna.

Anna: (standing between Mac's legs. She sinks her fingers into Mac's hair.) You are quite pleasing on the eye also. (Mac reaches for Anna and guides her to lay next to him on the bed. Mac brushes Anna's hair away from her face. He leans in to give her a deep crushing kiss. Anna responds eagerly. Mac gathers Anna in his arms. He slowly trails kisses down Anna's throat to her arm and back across her chest.)

Mac: Do you know how long I've waited to see you like this, to be with you? (Mac kissed Anna passionately. Anna wraps her arms tightly around Mac. They continue to feverously kiss each other. Neither could get enough of the other) Anna, do you want to stop?

Anna: (she looks into Mac's eyes. Her heart melts seeing how much love was reflected in Mac's eyes) I want you Mac. I want you so much. (Mac gathered Anna tightly into his arms and kissed her. They reached and gave to other everything they've been feeling all these months.)

A few hours later, Anna was cuddled against Mac's shoulder. She looked up at Mac and see he was still asleep. Anna tries to quietly get off the bed

.

Mac: (with his eyes still closed) And where do you think you're going?

Anna: You're supposed to be sleeping.

Mac: I was until I felt you moving away. (he gathers Anna back next to him) I never want to let you go.

Anna: (smiles at Mac) I never want to go.

Mac: (leans down to kiss Anna tenderly) I love you Detective Anna Devane Scorpio.

Anna: (chuckling) Well I happen to love you too Commissioner Scorpio (they held each other and lazily fell back to sleep.)

Setting: Mac's house

Robin was just coming home from her double shift. She's so tired. Robin was making her way to the couch when Aidan walked down the stairs.

Aidan: Hey.

Robin: (sitting down) Hi.

Aidan: You don't look too good.

Robin: This would be how you look too if you pulled a double shift.

Aidan: (goes to sit next to Robin on the couch) Can I get you anything?

Robin: My bed?

Aidan: You want me to carry you up to bed?

Robin: I was joking. (Robin looked closely at Aidan and saw that his left jaw was slightly bruised) what happened to your face?

Aidan: (rubbing his jaw) Nothing.

Robin: Aidan. (Aidan wouldn't say anything) Jason had a swollen eye. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

Aidan: He should damn be glad that was all he got.

Robin: Aidan! (Robin was a little mad) Tell me you were not fighting with Jason.

Aidan: Ok, I won't. (gets off the couch)

Robin: Why? What happened?

Aidan: He was being a jackass. I just don't understand what you see in him Robin.

Robin: It doesn't excuse you fighting with Jason.

Aidan: I just want to punch his face every time I see him.

Robin: I don't want you fighting with Jason over me. Promise me Aidan.

Aidan: (gives Robin a long look) I promise not to throw the first punch.

Robin: Aidan!

Aidan: Alright! I won't fight with Jason.

Robin: Did you put any ice on that last night?

Aidan: It's not so bad. Why don't you go on up to bed? I'll go get us some food.

Robin: You don't have to do that.

Aidan: I don't have anything better to do.

Robin: (gets off the bed) Ok then. See you in a bit. (Aidan watches Robin go up the stairs. He really doesn't like seeing her upset. For such a small person, she is tough. Aidan shakes his head and leaves.)

Setting: Kelly's

Brenda and Julia are having breakfast together.

Brenda: How's the building coming along?

Julia: All the papers are in order. Jason can start anytime.

Brenda: He must be so excited.

Julia: He sounds so. He seems to really enjoy his classes.

Brenda: Jason was always smart.

Julia: How's the Deception campaign?

Brenda: Great! People seem to relate to Robin. Preliminary figures are up.

Julia: How's Robin handling the fame?

Brenda: She wouldn't know. She hides herself at GH.

Julia: According to Alan and Monica, Robin has the potential to be a great surgeon.

Brenda: That's what Robin wants.

Julia: So this thing with Luis and Jason in over?

Brenda: Hardly. I think Robin loves Luis but she too scare to get involve again. Jason, Robin will always be drawn to. She doesn't know how to stop herself. But she doesn't trust him.

Julia: That's a tough situation.

Brenda: Yeah. How are things with you?

Julia: Just busy with work.

Brenda: And Sonny?

Julia: I haven't seen him since the Deception party.

Brenda: Why is that?

Julia: There's no reason to see him.

Brenda: Julia, I told you I was fine with it.

Julia: I'm not. It feels awkward for me to know that Sonny is your great love.

Brenda: Jax is my great love.

Julia: But Sonny was at one point.

Brenda: But that is over.

Julia: It's too weird. Plus, he's married.

Brenda: He would drop Carly in a minute for a woman like you.

Julia: Thank you for saying that. But I still don't feel right breaking up a family.

Brenda: But you like Sonny.

Julia: I like a lot of things but I don't have them all.

Brenda: You have most of them. (Aidan walks in. He sees Julia and heads straight toward her.)

Aidan: (with a grin) Jade.

Brenda: (with a puzzle look) Jade?

Aidan: Hi Brenda.

Brenda: Who's Jade? (Julia remains quiet)

Aidan: The person sitting with you.

Brenda: Julia? This I gotta hear.

Julia: (finally speaks up) It's a joke.

Aidan: I wasn't joking.

Brenda: Ok, what's going on? (Julia avoids looking at Aidan)

Aidan: Well I was introducing myself to Jade and...

Brenda: You mean Julia.

Aidan: Yes but at that time she said her name was none of your business. (Brenda bursts out laughing) For some reason that name didn't roll off my tongue very nicely.

Brenda: So you named her Jade?

Aidan: It's very fitting. She has the most exquisite green eyes. (Brenda gives Julia a sideway glance. Julia was still trying to stay composed)

Brenda: Let me do the introduction. Julia Barrett, Aidan Devane.

Aidan: Jade's your sister?

Brenda: Yup!

Aidan: I kind of like Jade.

Julia: It is sort of ridiculous for you to call me Jade now that you know my name.

Aidan: So you would prefer I call you Julia?

Julia: I prefer you wouldn't call me anything.

Aidan: My mother raised me to be polite so I can't very well do that.

Julia: (slumps her shoulder a bit) Call me whatever you like then.

Brenda: (laughing at the interaction) You want to join us for breakfast?

Aidan: A quick one. I promised Robin to bring her some food.

Brenda: Where's Robin?

Aidan: Sleeping. She pulled a double shift last night.

Brenda: How was she?

Aidan: Tired.

Brenda: And?

Aidan: And what?

Brenda: Did she say anything else?

Aidan: No. Why?

Brenda: Never mind. I'll ask her when I see her.

Aidan: What are you talking about?

Brenda: Nothing. (looks at her watch) I'm late. I'll see you guys later.

Julia: Where are you going?

Brenda: I have a meeting with the art director. (Brenda rushes out)

Aidan: (smiling) I guess we'll be eating together.

Julia: You will be eating. I'm leaving. (Julia gathers her stuff together)

Aidan: (places his hand over Julia) Don't leave.

Julia: Why not?

Aidan: Because I would like to have breakfast with you.

Julia: I don't think so.

Aidan: Please.

Julia: (looks at Aidan and gives in) A short breakfast.

Aidan: Thank you. What do you do Julia?

Julia: I run a business.

Aidan: What kind of business?

Julia: A management company. What do you do?

Aidan: Nothing much.

Julia: Nothing? How do you do that?

Aidan: Very easy. I can show you if you like.

Julia: No, I'll pass.

Aidan: You look like you could use a day of nothing.

Julia: Thank you but no thank you.

Aidan: A rain check?

Julia: Maybe.

Aidan: Are you afraid to be alone with me Julia?

Julia: Why would I be afraid of you?

Aidan: I don't know. You tell me.

Julia: Well, I'm not.

Aidan: Then spend tomorrow with me.

Julia: I have meetings tomorrow.

Aidan: The next day.

Julia: The same.

Aidan: Look, I'll make you a deal. Spend the day with me and if you're not completely relaxed in 2 hours, we'll call it a day. I won't bother you again.

Julia: (looks at Aidan suspiciously) I don't have to spend anytime with you.

Aidan: But you want to.

Julia: How do you fit that ego through your shirt in the morning?

Aidan: (laughs at Julia) It takes time but like I said I have nothing else to do.

Julia: (shakes her head at Aidan) I have to go.

Aidan: (places his hand on Julia's again) When am I going to see you?

Julia: (looks into Aidan's eyes) I don't know.

Aidan: Tomorrow.

Julia: Maybe.

Aidan: (more adamantly) Tomorrow.

Julia: Fine. I'll meet you here around 11:00.

Aidan: I'll be looking forward to it. Dress comfortably.

Julia: I won't need to because we won't be together for that long.

Aidan: Is that a challenge?

Julia: Take it however you like. Goodbye.

Aidan: I'll accept the challenge Jade. (he watches Julia walk off. He goes to the counter where Liz was)

Liz: What do you want?

Aidan: Hostile aren't we?

Liz: Are you going to start another fight?

Aidan: I don't see Morgan around so I guess no.

Liz: (rolls her eyes at Aidan) What can I get you?

Aidan: Cheeseburger, fries, meatloaf, garlic mash to go.

Liz: Eating for 3?

Aidan: Have you seen Robin eat?

Liz: (smiles) Yes. I'll be right back. (Liz leaves Aidan at the counter. Courtney comes in for her shift. She looks at Aidan, who looks back at her.)

Courtney: Can I help you?

Aidan: What do you want to help me with?

Courtney: What are we talking about?

Aidan: I don't know. You offered.

Sonny: (sits down at the counter) Hi Courtney.

Courtney: Sonny.

Aidan: (turns to look at Sonny) Isn't this place a little to homely for a small-time criminal like you?

Sonny: (turns to look at Aidan) Are you talking to me?

Aidan: I only see one small-time criminal.

Courtney: Don't talk to my brother like that.

Aidan: (looks between Courtney and Sonny) I really don't see the resemblance. Now why does a sister of a small-time criminal be working as a waitress?

Sonny: What's your problem?

Aidan: (stands up) My problem is you and all those associated with you.

Sonny: Then get out of town.

Aidan: You can't run me out of town like you did Robin.

Sonny: You don't know what you're talking about.

Aidan: I can't figure out what's worst, a small-time criminal with no spine or one with no respect and honor.

Sonny: (approaches Aidan) What are you implying?

Aidan: That you are trash. You, your hound dog, your nutty wife and your dimwit sister stay away from Robin.

Sonny: Are you threatening me?

Aidan: I don't make threats. You all have tried to kill Robin's life twice now, there won't be a third time. If you Robin shed another tear because of any of you, you won't live to see any other day.

Sonny: Am I supposed to be scared?

Aidan: History does tend to repeat itself.

Liz: (steps in between Sonny and Aidan) Here's the food for Robin. You should take it to her before it gets cold.

Sonny: (hearing Robin's name) What's wrong with Robin?

Aidan: None of your damn business!

Liz: (pushes Aidan back) Robin is waiting. (Aidan gives Sonny another look and leaves.)

Sonny: What's wrong with Robin?

Liz: Why do you want to know?

Sonny: What?

Liz: What? You want me to pretend that Carly didn't try to kill Robin? That you aren't involved? Robin is important to Lucky, which means she's important to me. Why don't you all just stay away from her?

Courtney: Liz, you're not being fair.

Liz: Fair? What's fair about being driven off the road? What fair about being left out in the cold to die? What's fair about you flinging yourself on Jason? I don't have time for this (Liz walks off)

Courtney: I don't know what's gotten into her.

Sonny: Is it true?

Courtney: What?

Sonny: Jason.

Courtney: Jason and I are friends.

Sonny: It better stay that way.

Courtney: What do you mean?

Sonny: Jason is not the person for you.

Courtney: What? Why?

Sonny: He's just not.

Courtney: But he's the right person for a sister who is not your blood?

Sonny: That's not it.

Courtney: Then what is it?

Sonny: Jason is not over Robin. He never will be. I don't want you to get hurt.

Courtney: I won't. Jason trusts me. He likes being with me. I like him Sonny.

Sonny: This is not good.

Courtney: Sonny please, I've never asked you for anything.

Sonny: I can't do anything for you.

Courtney: (mad) Fine. Don't stand in my way then (she walks away)

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason has been up all night. After leaving GH last night, he rode around on his bike. He was so happy from his night with Robin that he wanted it to last. Jason went to bridge and looked out at it for few hours. He was hopeful of being with Robin again. He can't wait for the moment when they're on bridge again together. When Jason finally got home, he couldn't sleep. He spent the remainder of the night working on the design. The more he worked on his design, the closer he felt to Robin. Before he knew it, it was early afternoon. There's a knock at the door.

Jason: Hi Julia.

Julia: Did I wake you?

Jason: No. Come on in.

Julia: How are things?

Jason: Fine.

Julia: The paperwork for the building has been finalized.

Jason: Really?

Julia: (smiles) Yes. Are you ready?

Jason: I guess so.

Julia: Do you have doubts?

Jason: This is all new for me. I've only worked for Sonny my entire life.

Julia: I have confidence you'll do just fine.

Jason: (he smiles at Julia) Thank you for giving me this chance.

Julia: You don't need to thank me. Just design my building.

Jason: I will.

Julia: How are you dealing with Sonny's business?

Jason: I'm out.

Julia: And your friendship with Sonny?

Jason: Why?

Julia: I'm not restricting your friendship with Sonny Jason. I hope you know that. I know how important Sonny is to you.

Jason: He's the only family I have.

Julia: You know that's not true.

Jason: You mean the Quartermaine.

Julia: Yes. But that's not my place to talk of. (Julia takes some papers from her briefcase) Here's the revised employment contract. They're very excited about you coming on board.

Jason: Thanks to you.

Julia: No, thank your skills. I have to go. They'll expect you on Monday.

Jason: (nods) Thank you for coming by.

Julia: Your welcome. Bye Jason.

Jason: (leads Julia out) Bye Julia.

Setting: Mac's house

Her rumbling stomach waked Robin. She did manage several hours of sleep. She was making her way down the stairs when there's a knock at the door. She goes to answer.

Robin: Hi.

Luis: (notices that Robin was in her robe) Did I wake you?

Robin: No, my stomach did. Come on in. (Luis follows Robin inside) Have a seat.

Luis: How have you been?

Robin: Busy with the hospital. You?

Luis: Missing you.

Robin: I miss you too. You know, I don't have to be back at the hospital until 7.

Luis: How about an early dinner and then I'll drop you off at the hospital?

Robin: That sounds great.

Luis: What are you doing today?

Robin: Nothing much.

Luis: I wish I had known. I would have cancelled my appointments.

Robin: Don't worry about it. My cousin is in town so I'll probably hangout with him.

Luis: Cousin?

Robin: Aidan Devane. I think I've mentioned him before.

Luis: You might have. Is he staying here?

Robin: Yes. Uncle Mac and Mom asked him to look after me while they're out of town.

Luis: Has there been trouble?

Robin: No, they're just being overly cautious. (Aidan walks in) hi Aidan.

Aidan: You're up. (sees Luis) and you have company.

Luis: (stands up and extends his hand to Aidan) Luis Alcazar.

Aidan: (shakes Luis' hand) Aidan Devane.

Robin: I met Luis while I was in Paris.

Aidan: Yeah? What are you doing here in Port Charles?

Luis: I had some business to deal with. But now that Robin is here, I decided to stay.

Aidan: What do you do exactly?

Luis: I'm in the export import business.

Aidan: What do you export import?

Luis: Mostly artifacts, artworks.

Aidan: You do a lot of traveling then.

Luis: Yes.

Aidan: Do you usually travel alone?

Robin: Aidan.

Aidan: What? Justified question.

Luis: It's okay Robin. I usually travel with a bodyguard.

Aidan: Bodyguard? Why would you need a bodyguard?

Robin: Ok, that's enough.

Luis: (looks at his watch) I actually have to get going. I'll pick you up around 4:30?

Robin: I'll be ready.

Luis: It was nice meeting you Aidan. (Aidan nods his head) Bye Robin.

Robin: I'll see you later. (Robin walks Luis out the door. After Robin closes the door, she heads back to Aidan) What was all that about?

Aidan: What?

Robin: Don't what me? What's with the 20 questions?

Aidan: I was trying to get to know the man.

Robin: You were not.

Aidan: You're just irritable because you're hungry.

Robin: I am not irritable.

Aidan: (nods his head) Irritable. Let's eat. (Aidan lays the food out for Robin) When do you have to head back to GH?

Robin: 7.

Aidan: What do you have planned for today?

Robin: I'm going out to dinner with Luis later but other than that nothing.

Aidan: Good. How about showing me around Port Charles?

Robin: Ok.

Aidan: Eat up then.

Setting: The docks

Robin and Aidan have been touring Port Charles for the last several hours. They ended up at the docks.

Robin: So what do you think of Port Charles?

Aidan: Fine I guess.

Robin: You're hard to please. (Robin goes to sit down on the bench) Have you seen Aunt Alex?

Aidan: (sits down next to Robin) No. But I hear she's well.

Robin: I still can't believe Mom has a twin sister.

Aidan: With the same stubbornness.

Robin: (laughs) I'm going to tell Mom you said that.

Aidan: I call it as I see it.

Robin: So what are you really doing here?

Aidan: Can't I miss you?

Robin: Yes but I'm sure there's more.

Aidan: Things were getting sticky with Maria and Edmund.

Robin: You decided to step out of the picture?

Aidan: Something like that.

Robin: But why? I thought you cared for Maria.

Aidan: I know Maureen not Maria. Maureen wants to be Maria again.

Robin: That doesn't mean there's no room for you.

Aidan: She has a husband and 2 kids waiting for her.

Robin: (puts her head on Aidan's shoulder) I'm sorry. Love doesn't seem to be very easy for us Devane, is it?

Aidan: (puts his arm around Robin's shoulder) Yeah but we're fighters. We'll get there someday. Look at Anna. She's happy with Mac.

Robin: All the pain she had to suffer to get there.

Aidan: You're not in pain anymore.

Robin: No.

Aidan: But?

Robin: (with sadness in her voice) I miss not having someone to love.

Aidan: I know you do.

Jason was walking down the steps to the dock. Jason saw the couple sitting on the bench from the back. It made him think of Robin. As he passes them by, he realized it was Robin. He stopped in front of them. Robin looked up to see Jason standing in front of her, looking hurt.

Robin: (sits up) Jason. (Jason just continued to look at Robin and Aidan)

Aidan: Can't you see we're trying to have a private conversation? (Jason looked again between Robin and Aidan. He felt stupid standing there in front of them. He walked away angry. Robin was surprised that Jason walked away without saying anything. She tries to catch up to him.)

Robin: Jason? (Jason hears Robin's voice behind him, he stops and turns around) You weren't going to say hi?

Jason: (trying to hold on to his anger) I didn't want to interrupt.

Robin: We weren't doing anything.

Jason: I don't want to hear this. (he starts to walk away again. Robin walked to Jason and reached for his arm to turn him towards her.)

Robin: Jason, what's wrong?

Jason: (frustrated) Do you expect me to feel nothing? Especially after last night?

Robin: (confused) What? I don't understand.

Jason: Robin, less than 24 hours ago, I was holding you in my arms. Today, I find you in the arms of another man.

Robin: (finally understands. She tried to hide her smile) Jason, you misunderstood.

Jason: I'm not stupid Robin. I know what I saw (Robin reaches for Jason's hand and tugged him toward Aidan) I don't want to meet him Robin.

Robin: Just be quiet and follow me. (they stopped in front of Aidan, who was glaring at Jason) Jason Morgan, Aidan Devane, my cousin.

Jason: (surprised. He looked again at Robin and then Aidan) Cousin?

Robin: (smiles) My mom is his aunt.

Jason: Oh.

Robin: I thought you knew.

Jason: I didn't know.

Aidan: Well now you do so you better watch your back.

Robin: Aidan. (to Jason) I'm sorry for the confusion.

Aidan: Don't apologize to him. He's not worth it.

Robin: (gives Aidan a warning look) Could you give us a minute?

Aidan: (not liking it) Fine. I'll be at Kelly's. (Aidan gives Jason another look and then walks away.)

Jason: I guess he doesn't like me.

Robin: Aidan doesn't like a lot of people.

Jason: (finally smiles at Robin) I'm glad he's your cousin.

Robin: Why?

Jason: That way I won't have to deck him for holding you.

Robin: Don't hit anybody because of me.

Jason: (smiles tenderly at Robin) You look rested.

Robin: I am.

Jason: Did you enjoy last night?

Robin: (she couldn't tear her eyes away from Jason) I did.

Jason: Do you want to do it again?

Robin: I do.

Jason: When?

Robin: Anytime.

Jason: (softly) Robin. (he steps closer to Robin.)

Robin: Jason. (Jason reaches for Robin's hands.)

Jason: You are so beautiful. (Robin smiles at Jason. They stood for few seconds holding each other's hands and gazing into each other eyes. On the steps was Courtney. She sees Jason holding Robin's hands. Upset, she walks toward them)

Courtney: (placing a hand on Jason's shoulder) There you are. I've been looking for you.

Jason: (the moment interrupted) What?

Courtney: I thought we were meeting at my place for lunch?

Jason: Lunch? (Robin was getting uncomfortable with the conversation. She withdrew her hands from Jason.)

Robin: I have to go. (steps away from Jason and Courtney. Jason follows Robin leaving Courtney to look after them.)

Jason: When can I see you again?

Robin: (hesitate, she looks at Courtney and then back at Jason) I don't know.

Jason: Please.

Robin: Why don't you call me?

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Ok. Bye. (Jason watches Robin walk away.)

Courtney: (walks toward Jason) Did I interrupt something?

Jason: (turns back toward Courtney) What?

Courtney: I didn't mean to interrupt. Are you ready?

Jason: Ready for what?

Courtney: Lunch. Jason, what's with you?

Jason: Nothing. I can't do lunch. I have to be somewhere.

Courtney: (disappointed) Dinner then?

Jason: I don't know.

Courtney: How about I call you later?

Jason: Fine. I have to go. (he walks off.)

Setting: Mac and Anna's room, Mexico

Mac wakes up with Anna still cuddled against him. He softly caresses her face. Anna smiles.

Anna: Good morning.

Mac: That it is.

Anna: I take it Luke didn't show up.

Mac: No.

Anna: (sitting up with the sheets) How long do you think we should wait for him?

Mac: I don't know. I have no way of contacting him.

Anna: Why don't I go grab a shower?

Mac: (smiling) I'll wait here for you.

Anna: No, no. Why don't you go find that bartender? Maybe he knows something.

Mac: But I rather stay here.

Anna: I know you would.

Mac: Fine. (Mac gets out of bed and starts putting on his clothes. He turns back to Anna to give her a kiss.) I'll be back.

Anna: Ok. (Anna watches Mac head out. She makes her way to the shower.)

Setting: Kelly's

Aidan was sitting at a table waiting for Robin. He noticed that Robin looked a little sad as she's walking in.

Aidan: What the bloody hell happened?

Robin: Nothing (sits down)

Aidan: Don't give me that.

Robin: Can we not talk about it?

Aidan: That bastard is nothing but trouble. I leave you alone with him for 5 minutes and look at you.

Robin: Aidan, please.

Liz: (coming up to the table) Hi Robin.

Robin: Hi Liz. How are you doing?

Liz: Fine.

Aidan: Have a seat (he pulls a chair out for Liz)

Liz: Thank you. You ok? (Aidan gives Robin the "I told you so" look)

Robin: I'm fine. How's school?

Liz: I'm sinking in it. But I love it.

Robin: Why don't you cut back on your hours here?

Liz: I can't. I need the money if I decide to do school full time.

Robin: I have money if you want to borrow.

Liz: That's sweet of you to offer but I can't take it.

Robin: You should think about it. I know how it sucks to work and go to school at the same time.

Liz: I will. Can I get you guys anything?

Aidan: Coffee.

Robin: A piece of chocolate cake.

Liz: (looks at Aidan and then back at Robin) I'll be right back.

Aidan: So you want to tell me what happened after I left?

Robin: Nothing. Have you heard from Uncle Mac and Mom?

Aidan: No.

Robin: Don't you think that it's weird that they left like that?

Aidan: Anna said it was an emergency.

Robin: I wonder what it was (Liz comes back with the food.)

Liz: Here you go (takes a seat) have you given any more thoughts on what we should do for the Nurse's Ball?

Aidan: Nurse's Ball?

Robin: It's a charity event to raise money and awareness for HIV & Aids. People put on acts and stuff.

Liz: Will you still be in town?

Aidan: I might.

Liz: You should stay. It's usually really fun.

Robin: It will be Mom's first time at one.

Aidan: Then I guess I'll stay.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason: (opens the door) Carly.

Carly: Hi Jason.

Jason: What are you doing here?

Carly: I haven't seen your place since you moved in. (she lets herself in. Carly walks around the apartment) This is nice, a little too homely for me though.

Jason: What do you want Carly?

Carly: Are you still mad at me?

Jason: Should I still be mad at you?

Carly: Why are you mad at me?

Jason: Don't play games with me Carly.

Carly: What? I don't know what you're talking about.

Jason: You want to explain to me what happened to your car?

Carly: That? I don't know.

Jason: Don't!

Carly: What?

Jason: Don't lie to me.

Carly: I'm not. I really don't know what happened to the car.

Jason: If it comes out that you are in any way responsible for Robin's accident, you'll regret lying to me.

Carly: I can't believe you let that Saint turned you against me.

Jason: Stop calling Robin that. And no one turned me against you.

Carly: Then why the third degree?

Jason: I want answers.

Carly: Well I don't have them. (continues to walk around the apartment) Is it safe for you here? You have no guards. Are these windows bulletproof?

Jason: No

Carly: I can't believe Sonny let you move into this place.

Jason: I don't have time for this (goes to sofa and starts reading from a book)

Carly: What's more important? (She reaches for Jason's book) Theory of Architect Design, what's this for?

Jason: I'm reading it.

Carly: Why?

Jason: Most architects require some kind of license or degree.

Carly: You want to be an architect?

Jason: You don't think I can?

Carly: That's not it. What about the business?

Jason: What about it?

Carly: Do you actually think you have time to do this and the business?

Jason: It's not your concern.

Carly: Yes it is. It involves Sonny it involves me.

Jason: Whatever (grabs the book back from Carly and continues reading.)

Carly: What's going on Jason? (no answer, Carly noticed that there were more books scattered around the room) How many classes are you taking?

Jason: Why do you want to know?

Carly: Why not? What are you not telling me?

Jason: (frustrated, he closed his book) I'm out.

Carly: Out what?

Jason: Out.

Carly: (absorbs for a second) What? Why! Did you and Sonny have an argument?

Jason: No.

Carly: Then why?

Jason: I needed a change.

Carly: Change? You're joking right? (No answer) Jason, talk to me.

Jason: What Carly?

Carly: Why did you leave the business? (She looks at Jason who doesn't respond) It's because of her isn't it? You want to win her back. Damn it Jason answer me!

Jason: No, I'm doing this for me. If Robin takes me back, it'll be because she loves me.

Carly: I think I'm going to be sick. I can't believe you want her back. She tore our family apart. She betrayed you. Haven't forgotten all of that?

Jason: I haven't forgotten anything.

Carly: Then why?

Jason: Robin is not to blame. She did what you and I should have done.

Carly: Don't tell me she has you riding the AJ bandwagon too.

Jason: Robin doesn't have me doing anything.

Carly: She has you abandoning Sonny.

Jason: No! Have you not been listening? I said I was doing this for me.

Carly: Fine. Whatever.

Jason: Is there something else that you wanted?

Carly: Remember something Jason I never wanted you to change. I accepted you for who you are.

Jason: What's your point?

Carly: Is she worth all of this?

Jason: This will be the last time I discuss Robin with you. I love Robin. I always have and I always will. There's nothing I won't do to have her back with me. If you want to continue being my friend then you better accept that. Because this time, I'll make the correct choice.

Carly: (looks at Jason and knew he meant every word that he said) If that's what you want.

Jason: Is that all? I have work to do (Jason goes back to reading his book. Carly gives Jason another look and walks out quietly.)

Setting: Diego Caliente, Mexico

Anna: We've been sitting here for 3 hours Mac. My butt is starting to hurt.

Mac: Why don't you go walk around?

Anna: (gets up) I'm just going to walk around to stretch out my back.

Mac: Ok (he watches Anna walk outside.)

Voice: (sitting down at the table) Man, I thought she never leave.

Mac: (turns back to the table) Luke. Where have you been?

Luke: Here. What is Anna doing here?

Mac: I didn't have a choice.

Luke: You have it pretty bad Bubba.

Mac: What's going on?

Luke: Man, you're not going to like this.

Mac: What?

Luke: (slides Mac a manila envelope) Here. See for yourself (Mac opens the envelop and look through the photos.)

Mac: David Hayward? Where were these taken?

Luke: In Mexico.

Mac: I don't understand

Luke: It seems the Dr. David Hayward makes frequent visits to Mexico.

Mac: Why?

Luke: I don't know. He kind of disappears once he gets here.

Mac: What would Hayward be doing here? Was he here during the same time as Carly?

Luke: Seems so.

Mac: Anna.

Luke: I was hoping you would come alone.

Mac: She was stubborn. What am I supposed to tell Anna?

Luke: I don't know.

Mac: I can't keep this from her. She deserves to know.

Luke: It's your call.

Mac: Is Hayward here now?

Luke: He was spotted 2 days.

Mac: We need to move fast before he heads back to Pine Valley.

Luke: Yes. You want me to disappear so you can talk to Anna?

Mac: Do you mind?

Luke: Not at all. I'll wait for you upstairs.

Mac: Thanks Luke (Luke nods and walks away. Mac looks again at the photos of David. He puts them back inside the envelope.)

Anna: It is so hot (Anna sits down across from Mac) Did Luke show up? (Mac nods his head) Where is he?

Mac: (push the envelope toward Anna) He gave me this.

Anna: (takes the envelope and pulls out the photos) I don't understand. These are pictures of David.

Mac: They were taken of him while he's in Mexico.

Anna: What is David doing in Mexico?

Mac: We don't know. The only thing we do know is that he was in Mexico during the time that Carly was.

Anna: Carly? You think there's a correlation?

Mac: Yes.

Anna: What do we do now?

Mac: David is here.

Anna: You mean Mexico (Mac nods) What are we waiting? I want to know why he's here (Anna gets up.)

Mac: Are you sure you want to do this?

Anna: I have to. If he's involve in anyway, I want to know.

Mac: Luke is waiting for us upstairs. Let's go (they both head up the stairs. Mac opens the door.)

Luke: Hi Anna.

Anna: Luke. Where was David last spotted?

Luke: At a private ranch about 25 miles from here. I take it you don't know what he's doing here either.

Anna: No, I don't.

Mac: What kind of medicine does David practice?

Anna: He's proficient is almost every thing. But his love is in experimental medicine, as in the case of Maria Gray.

Luke: Maria?

Anna: When David found Maria, she was in critical conditions. One of the medicines he gave her completely wiped out her memory.

Luke: That's interesting. I wonder how my demented niece is involved in this.

Mac: We should get going. We don't want to lose him.

Setting: Luke's club

Robin: Are you sure you want to eat here?

Luis: Yes. You like this place.

Robin: But you don't.

Luis: I don't mind it (they gave their orders to the waitress) So, I noticed the magazine ads are a big hit.

Robin: Brenda seems to think so.

Luis: You're not pleased?

Robin: I don't know. It feels kind of weird to know all these people I don't know are looking at my picture.

Luis: You just need some time to get use to it.

Robin: Maybe. You know what's coming up don't you?

Luis: What?

Robin: Your birthday.

Luis: Ah, that.

Robin: I want to make sure Amy doesn't schedule me for that day. What do you want to do?

Luis: What do you want to do?

Robin: (laughs at Luis) Luis. It's your birthday. We should something that you like.

Luis: You'll be with me. That's enough.

Robin: Come on. What do you like to do?

Luis: Let see. I haven't been sailing in awhile.

Robin: Sailing. I never figure you for sailing. We'll go sailing then.

Luis: Are you sure you want to do this?

Robin: Of course. I don't know how to sail but you can teach me. I'm a real fast learner.

Luis: I'm sure you are.

Robin: Then we're on?

Luis: Yes, we're on (the band struck up a slow melody) would you like to dance? (He holds out his hand to Robin)

Robin: (accepts Luis' hand) I love to (Luis led Robin out on the dance floor. They slowly move to the music) I think this is the first time we've danced together.

Luis: It seems so.

Robin: There's still so much I don't know about you.

Luis: What do you want to know?

Robin: Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Luis: No.

Robin: Where are your parents?

Luis: They've passed away.

Robin: I'm sorry. Who are you close to?

Luis: You.

Robin: Besides me.

Luis: I guess no one.

Robin: Why is that?

Luis: I find it hard to trust anyone. They usually always want something from me.

Robin: What do they usually want?

Luis: My connections, my power, my money.

Robin: It must be lonely.

Luis: I'm use to it.

Robin: (her heart goes out to Luis) You shouldn't and don't have to. I'm here with you.

Luis: I don't plan to let you go (Luis gathers Robin closer in his arms. Robin rests her head against Luis' shoulder. They continue to sway to the soft music unaware of anyone around them.)

Across the room, Jason walked in. He saw Mike at the bar and went to him.

Jason: Hi Mike.

Mike: Hi Jason.

Jason: Is Luke around?

Mike: No. He's out of town.

Jason: Did he say when he'd be back?

Mike: I actually didn't see him. He left me a message. Is there something I can help you with?

Jason: I told him I do the books this week.

Mike: I can go get you the books. I'll be back in a minute.

Jason: Thanks Mike (Jason takes a seat at the bar. The club was less crowded than normal. Jason takes a sip of his beer. Jason saw a few couple dancing in front of the band. Jason was about to turn away when something caught his eyes. It was Robin dancing with Luis. Luis was holding Robin close to him and she was resting her head against Luis' shoulder. Jason felt a pain his heart. He thought he was making progress with Robin. But looking at her now, she looks a lot happier being with Luis. Jason couldn't look away from the couple. Jason could feel his hope for a future with Robin slipping away.

Mike: (holding the books for Jason) Here you go (Jason didn't respond. Mike follows Jason's gaze and sees Robin with Luis. He felt bad for Jason) For what it's worth, you are better man for Robin.

Jason: (breaking his thoughts) I don't know.

Mike: I know it's hard to see the woman you love with another man. But don't give up. Robin's been through a lot. It'll take time for her to sort through her feelings.

Jason: What about if her feelings lead her to him?

Mike: Then you'll wish her well because she found someone who made her happy.

Jason: I don't know if I can do that.

Mike: If it comes to that, you'll do the right thing.

Jason: (gives Robin another longing look) Bye Mike.

Mike: Bye Jason.

Setting: Somewhere in Mexico

Anna: (looking through the binoculars) Who's resident is that Luke?

Luke: According to my man, it's Jorge Vacquez, old money, no children, missing a few screws.

Mac: What does he do with all his money?

Luke: This and that. He does a lot of lending, fund projects, ideas, and initiatives.

Mac: Medical projects?

Luke: Sometimes.

Anna: David must be working on some new medicine or procedure that this guy wants.

Mac: How do we get in there?

Luke: Well as you can see, security is tight. Our man is a little paranoid.

Anna: There's no tunnel or back way?

Luke: No.

Mac: Whatever we do we don't want to spoof David. We need to get in there quietly and unnoticed.

Anna: I'll do it.

Mac: No!

Anna: Both of you are too obvious. I can blend in easier.

Mac: I don't like this.

Anna: We don't have a choice.

Luke: How are you going to get in?

Anna: I noticed that the servants change shifts. I'll sneak in as one of them.

Mac: We still have few hours before the change.

Anna: Luke, do you have a gun?

Luke: (takes a gun out from his boot) This do? (Hands it to Anna)

Anna: (tucks behind her pants) It'll have to. Now, if there's any trouble get the police involve.

Mac: Are you sure?

Anna: Tell them that we're investigating the property for drugs.

Mac: Let's hope that it won't come to that.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Benny: Hi Sonny

Sonny: Benny.

Benny: (handing Sonny a folder) This is everything I could find.

Sonny: Thank you. What's the situation with Jason?

Benny: It's completed. The word is also out on the street.

Sonny: Are there any backlash?

Benny: Not really. I think it was expected with Ms. Scorpio back in town.

Sonny: Thank you Benny.

Benny: It that's all.

Sonny: I like for you to start having a bodyguard. You should also move into the penthouse.

Benny: Are you sure?

Sonny: You're my right hand man now. I need you safe.

Benny: I'll get right on it then (Benny leaves. Sonny sits down on the sofa and start reading the content of the folder. As he's reading, Sonny gets angrier.)

Sonny: Damn it Carly!

Setting: AJ's office

Carly: Is he in?

Secretary: I'm sorry?

Carly: (hand on her hip) AJ Quatermaine.

Secretary: Do you have an appointment?

Carly: I don't need a goddamn appointment (storms toward AJ's office)

Secretary: Ma'am you can't go in (trying to stop Carly. AJ looks up from his desk) I'm sorry Mr. Quatermaine.

AJ: It's all right Carol. Thank you (Carly walks in and strode around AJ's office) What do you want Carly?

Carly: It's a nice office AJ. How much did you have to beg to get it?

AJ: I have work to do Carly. What do you want?

Carly: I want my son.

AJ: Talk to the judge.

Carly: I'm talking to you.

AJ: I can't do anything for you.

Carly: You know damn well Michael doesn't belong with you.

AJ: Really? Why not?

Carly: You're a drunk and a liar.

AJ: And you're not? Sorry I mean a liar and a murderer.

Carly: Shut up AJ.

AJ: Are you denying you tried to kill Robin?

Carly: I wouldn't waste my time on that saint.

AJ: Well you'll have plenty of time behind bars.

Carly: This is not why I'm here. I want to see Michael.

AJ: Michael is in school. I'll bring him by to see Sonny on Sunday.

Carly: No. I want to see him now.

AJ: I don't care.

Carly: You know Michael want to see me. Are you going to deny him of that? Are you bad-mouthing me to Michael?

AJ: I don't stoop to your level Carly. Michael is more intelligent than you give him credit for. He forms his own opinion.

Carly: I need to see Michael.

AJ: I don't care. Now get out. I have real work to do.

Carly: How dare you talk to me like that? You forget whom I'm married to.

AJ: Yeah, whatever Carly. Get out.

Carly: You'll regret this AJ.

AJ: (picks up the phone) Carol, could you call security to escort Mrs. Corinthos out of the building? Thank you.

Carly: (glares at AJ) This is not over!

Setting: Brenda's office

Jax: (walking in) Hi.

Brenda: Hello. This is a surprise.

Jax: I decided to fly home early.

Brenda: (coming around her desk to Jax and kiss him) Well I'm glad. I missed you.

Jax: (big smile) Really? I should go away more often.

Brenda: Don't you dare!

Jax: (leads Brenda to the sofa) How are things?

Brenda: Busy. The ads are a hit. Preliminary numbers are up. We have more hits on the website.

Jax: Robin is a hit then.

Brenda: Yeah. Is it that great?

Jax: How is Robin dealing with it?

Brenda: She hides out at GH.

Jax: (laughs) She's a keeper.

Brenda: Don't encourage her. She needs to be seen by people.

Jax: Can't say she didn't warn you.

Brenda: Yeah, yeah.

Jax: I brought you something.

Brenda: (excited) Really? What?

Jax: (shakes his head) Uh huh. I'll give to you after dinner.

Brenda: That's hours away. I can't wait that long.

Jax: You'll have to. I booked us a table at Il Fornaio.

Brenda: Il Fornaio? What's the occasion?

Jax: I love you.

Brenda: You don't have to me to Il Fornaio for that.

Jax: Well I want to. 7 okay?

Brenda: Sure.

Jax: I have a meeting with Julia. I'll pick up at the cottage around 6:30.

Brenda: Ok (Jax pulls Brenda up from the sofa for another passionate kiss) Sure you want to go out for dinner?

Jax: Don't temp me. Bye.

Brenda: Bye.

Setting: Kelly's

Aidan: (smiles) You're here.

Julia: I'm a person of my word.

Aidan: I'm glad to hear that. You look comfortable.

Julia: As you requested.

Aidan: Ready?

Julia: Where are we going?

Aidan: You'll see

Setting: Jason's apartment.

Jason: (opens the door) Sonny.

Sonny: Busy?

Jason: No. Come in (Sonny walks in and noticed books and papers are scattered all over)

Sonny: You're not as neat as you used to be.

Jason: (smiles a little) I find it easier to study if everything is all spread out. (Sonny goes to sit on the couch) What's going on?

Sonny: Carly's story about the car doesn't hold up.

Jason: How do you know?

Sonny: I needed answers and Carly wouldn't give them to me.

Jason: I'm sorry Sonny.

Sonny: You don't seem surprise.

Jason: Nothing that Carly does surprises me anymore.

Sonny: It's more than that. Did you know?

Jason: I only know that Mac and Anna aren't dirty cops.

Sonny: (nods his head) That's why Robin has such a high integrity for the truth. How do I face Robin now? She hasn't gotten over the fact that I abandon her and then married Carly. Now this.

Jason: Have you tried to talk to Robin?

Sonny: I can't.

Jason: Just try Sonny. I know that Robin is hurting that she's not close to you. She still cares for you.

Sonny: I don't know.

Jason: Why would Robin have helped with you with the miscarriage if she didn't?

Sonny: I betrayed her over and over again.

Jason: Look, I never thought that Robin and I would ever be able to see or talk to each other again civilly. But look at us. We can actually have a meal together. I know that Robin can't completely forget what I've done. All I can do now is prove to her that she can trust me and that I love her.

Sonny: So things are good between you.

Jason: I wouldn't say that.

Sonny: Why?

Jason: Robin does feel something for me. I don't know if it's feelings from the past or the present. But what I do know is that she has very strong feelings for Alcazar.

Sonny: Alcazar? You think she's in love with him.

Jason: I hope not but I don't know. I saw them dancing the other night. She was at peace and happy with him.

Sonny: And that's what you want.

Jason: I want Robin happy and safe. Yes.

Sonny: But?

Jason: But I want her with me.

Sonny: And what if she decides it Luis she wants?

Jason: (hesitate) Then I'll have to accept her decision.

Sonny: You and Robin have gone full circle.

Jason: What do you mean?

Sonny: She risked her love for you, friendship with me to keep you safe. Now, you're willing to risk your love for Robin to keep her safe.

Jason: At the time, I couldn't understand why Robin made that decision. I accused her of using Stone to get what she wants.

Sonny: She agonized over her decision. She knew that you would be angry with her.

Jason: Why did I have to be so stubborn?

Sonny: (smiles a little) I don't know buddy.

Setting: Somewhere in Port Charles

Julia: I can't believe I'm up here (looking down at Port Charles)

Aidan: It's not the same as being in an airplane is it?

Julia: I hardly ever look out of the window. It's so beautiful. You can see the different flowers and trees.

Aidan: (admires Julia) Yes, it is beautiful.

Julia: How did you know about this?

Aidan: I have my ways.

Julia: (shakes her head) You are really something. You really caught me off guard.

Aidan: Does that happen often?

Julia: Me being off guard? No.

Aidan: Why is that Julia? May I call you Julia?

Julia: (smiles) Yes, you can call me Julia. As to your question, I don't know. I guess for most of my life, I had to be the responsible person. I had a family who needed me.

Aidan: What about now?

Julia: I guess its second nature to me to be on my guard now.

Aidan: You know you don't have to be with me.

Julia: (looks at Aidan) I don't about that. I say you are a very good reason for me to be on my guard.

Aidan: Why that hurts Julia.

Julia: I'm sure not a lot.

Aidan: You and Brenda are very different.

Julia: Yes. We're water and oil. We only started to get along recently.

Aidan: What changed?

Julia: There were a lot of miscommunications between Brenda and I. A lot of it was cleared up when Brenda returned.

Aidan: Robin mentioned everyone thought Brenda was dead.

Julia: Yes. I was heartbroken. She was the only family I had left.

Aidan: So you've decided to stay in Port Charles to be near Brenda.

Julia: Yes. We've lost so much time.

Aidan: You have a lot of courage Julia Barrett.

Julia: What do you mean?

Aidan: Most people don't see a second chance when they get it let alone take advantage of it.

Julia: Some people might surprise you.

Aidan: Not a lot.

Julia: (looks closely at Aidan. She wonders what Aidan is not telling her) Like who?

Aidan: Let's not talk about it. We have this beautiful scene to take in. Hungry?

Julia: Yes a little.

Aidan: How about a bologna sandwich?

Julia: (laughing a little) Did you say bologna?

Aidan: Yeah, why?

Julia: I just haven't had bologna since I was in grade school.

Aidan: Well then eat up (he hands Julia a sandwich)

Setting: Mexico

Luke: (looking through the binoculars) She made it in.

Mac: Where is she heading?

Luke: To the main house.

Mac: Any sign of Hayward?

Luke: No but there seem to be a lot of activities at the unit to the right of the main house.

Mac: (takes the binoculars from Luke) Those guys are packing. We need to get a closer look at that unit.

Luke: We can go around to that side.

Mac: Luke, does it look like they're wearing gloves? (hands the binoculars to Luke)

Luke: Yes (looks at Mac) Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Mac: Hayward must be doing some illegal procedure. Do you think you can call your guy and find out who this Jorge Vaquez is close to? People who try to make contact with him.

Luke: Yeah sure.

Mac: I'm going to head over the other side.

Luke: I'll be there in a minute (Luke reaches for his phone)

Setting: Il Fornaio Restaurant

Brenda: This place is very nice.

Jax: I'm glad you like it.

Brenda: So really. Why are we here?

Jax: The food is great here.

Brenda: Come on Jax.

Waiter: Good Evening. May I bring you a cocktail?

Jax: A bottle of your Dom Perigon, please.

Waiter: Certainly sir.

Brenda: Champagne?

Jax: What's a great meal without champagne?

Brenda: Where's my present?

Jax: Patients (waiter brings the champagne and pours two glasses. Jax and Brenda hold up their glasses.) To chances at love.

Brenda: Chances at love (each takes a sip of their champagne) Did I tell you how very happy I am?

Jax: You are?

Brenda: Yes. We're together, Julia is here, and Robin is healthy. I can't really ask for anything more.

Jax: Nothing?

Brenda: (thinks for a moment) Well I guess I would like to start a family now that I know I'm healthy, a little Jax running around.

Jax: Or a little Brenda.

Brenda: Are you sure you can handle 2 of me?

Jax: I'd be delighted. Close your eyes.

Brenda: Why?

Jax: No questions (Jax watches as Brenda closes her eyes. Jax gets out of his chair and kneel in front of Brenda. He takes a ring out of his pocket and slips it on Brenda's ring finger.) Open your eyes (Brenda open her tear-filled eyes. She looks at the beautiful sparkling pink diamond ring on her finger and Jax on his knees.) Brenda, words can't describe the happiness and joy in my heart to have you here with me again. We have lost so much time. If you let me I would like to spend the rest of my life loving you, caring for you and build a family with you. Brenda, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?

Brenda: (tears streaming down her face) Yes, Jax. I want to be your wife (Jax gets up and gathers Brenda into his arms. Brenda looked deeply into Jax's eyes) I love you Jasper Jacks (Jax kisses Brenda passionately.)

Jax: I was worried that I was rushing you.

Brenda: I was wondering what I had to do to get you to propose.

Jax: (surprised) Really? (Brenda nods)

Brenda: I have something for you.

Jax: You do? (Brenda takes Jax's hand, turns it over and placed the ring on it. Surprised, Jax looks at Brenda) How did you get this?

Brenda: On the night of your wedding to Skye.

Jax: (holds the ring up) I tossed it to fate.

Brenda: I found it.

Jax: All these years, I could never get the feeling of you out of my heart. My head was telling me to let you go. I wished I had trusted my heart.

Brenda: (places her hand over Jax's) No regrets. We have each other now. We have our future.

Jax: Yes, we have our future.

Setting: Kelly's

Aidan: So how did I do?

Julia: What do you mean?

Aidan: Did I succeed in making you think of nothing?

Julia: (smiles) Yes. Thank you. I can't remember the last time I felt this relaxed.

Aidan: You want to do it again?

Julia: (hesitate a little) Ok.

Aidan: (smiles) Ok then.

Julia: I have to get going. I need to get ready for tomorrow.

Aidan: I won't keep you.

Julia: Thank you again Aidan. I had a wonderful time.

Aidan: Your welcome Julia (he watches Julia walk off.)

Setting: Mexico

Mac: Did you hear back from your man?

Luke: No. Any sign of Anna?

Mac: No. One of the guard carried out a box with a biohazard label.

Luke: Did you see to where?

Mac: That trunk parked by the gate.

Luke: (looking through the binoculars) They'll have to drop that off somewhere. I'll follow that truck. You keep an eye out for Anna.

Mac: I don't like us splitting up like this.

Luke: If anything happens, I'll meet you back at Diego. Check with the bartender.

Mac: They're moving.

Luke: Ok. I'm gone.

Mac: Be careful Luke (Mac watches Luke leaves. Mac goes back to looking for Anna. He was getting worried that he hasn't seen Anna since she went in. Mac hopes that nothing happened.)

Setting: Robin's room at Mac's house

Robin: (picks up the phone, a little groggy) Hello?

Brenda: Why aren't you sleeping?

Robin: Hello? I was until you woke me.

Brenda: (giggles) Yeah. I have something to tell you.

Robin: What?

Brenda: (with excitement) Are you sitting down?

Robin: I'm lying down.

Brenda: Jax asked me to marry him tonight.

Robin: (excitedly yells into the phone) Really? That's wonderful. You said yes right?

Brenda: Of course. It was so romantic Robin.

Robin: Jax's signature.

Brenda: Will you be my maid of honor Robin?

Robin: Really?

Brenda: Of course. You have been there for me every step of the way. I don't want to go through my wedding without you.

Robin: What about Julia?

Brenda: I think she'll understand. She'll be my bridesmaid.

Robin: This is so great. You and Jax are finally going to get married. I'll be there to see it.

Brenda: Yes. Go back to sleep. I couldn't wait to tell you.

Robin: I'm glad you called. Tell Jax I'm very happy for him.

Brenda: Just a sec, I'll wake him up so you can tell him yourself.

Robin: (smiles) Oh, ok.

Jax: (sleepily) Hi Robin.

Robin: Hi. Congratulations.

Jax: Thank you.

Robin: Brenda sounds like she's on cloud 9. Thank you for making her so happy.

Jax: Well she made me very happy by saying yes.

Robin: Ok, I'll let you get back to Brenda. Goodnight (Robin puts the phone down. She was so happy for Brenda. She finally gets the happiness she deserves. Robin was so excited she couldn't go back to bed. Robin walked downstairs to get something to drink. She sees Aidan sitting on the couch.) What are you doing up?

Aidan: Couldn't sleep. You?

Robin: Too excited to sleep (goes to sit next to Aidan on the couch.)

Aidan: About what?

Robin: Brenda just called. Jax just asked her to marry him. I get to be maid of honor.

Aidan: That is exciting. It's a long time coming for them right?

Robin: Yes. How was your day?

Aidan: Good.

Robin: Have you heard from Mom or Uncle Mac?

Aidan: No.

Robin: They should have called by now. I'm starting to worry.

Setting: Mexico

Mac is still on the lookout for Anna. He still hasn't seen her since she went in. Meanwhile on the inside, Anna had to actually do some housework. She had bathrooms duties. There hasn't been an opportunity for Anna to look around the house. Finally finished with the last bathroom, Anna walked outside with the dirty mobs and dirty water. Anna goes to the side of the building to dump out the water. She notices the unit with guard standing at the front door. Anna sneaks around to the back of the unit and looks in through the window. She can't see very far inside the room. There was a small bed with an IV stand next to it, a small glass medicine cabinet. Anna can hear voices from the inside. Early dawn Anna makes her way back to Mac.

Mac: Thank god. I was really starting to worry.

Anna: It wasn't easy cleaning eleven bathrooms.

Mac: Did you anything?

Anna: You see that unit with guard?

Mac: Yes. David's there?

Anna: I didn't see him but I heard his voice.

Mac: Let's get back to Diego. Luke should be there.

Anna: (looking through the binocular) Looks quiet. Wait a minute. Who's that?

Mac: (takes the binoculars) I don't know. Luke said that Vaquez didn't have any children, what about a wife?

Anna: He didn't say. Don't you think she's a little too young to be his wife?

Mac: Yes but who knows. Let's find Luke (They both head off.)

Setting: Diego

Mac and Anna walked into their room but no sign of Luke.

Mac: He must still be following the truck.

Anna: Truck?

Mac: I saw the guard carrying a box with biohazard label on it. Luke was going to see where the box gets dropped of.

Anna: Mac, I... (Luke walks in)

Luke: Good you're here.

Mac: What's going on?

Luke: Our doctor is running a private practice at Vazquez's compound.

Mac: What?

Luke: It appears that Hayward is performing surgeries among other things that are not permitted in the states. Mexico is not heavily regulated enough to safeguard against this sort of stuff. The latest and most demanding treatment is infertility.

Mac: (looks at Anna) Anna?

Anna: Luke's correct. David does tend to do research on people. He likes to push the bar on medicine.

Mac: Luke, when we left we saw a young woman walking into the unit.

Luke: Vazquez's fourth wife.

Anna: Fourth? I get it. Vazquez has no children so he thinks his wives are at fault.

Luke: His wife gets younger and younger. This one is only 24. They've been married 15 months and no children.

Mac: So Vazquez has Hayward working on his young wife to bear him children.

Luke: Something like that.

Mac: Do you know what kind of procedure Hayward is doing?

Luke: No. Hayward doesn't share details.

Mac: What now?

Anna: I don't see how this involves Robin and Carly.

Luke: That's been bothering me also.

Mac: I suggest we head back to Port Charles. I don't want Hayward to know that we're on him.

Anna: What about his practices here?

Mac: We can check with Alan what's the best way to handle this.

Anna: Ok.

Luke: I'll be downstairs when you're ready to head out.

Mac: Thanks Luke (Luke leaves) Are you alright?

Anna: I'm fine.

Mac: Anna?

Anna: I knew that David was ambitious about his career. I guess I didn't how unscrupulous he could be.

Mac: You know there's a chance he'll lose his license to practice.

Anna: I'm sure he's aware of the consequences.

Mac: (nods to Anna) You're ready?

Anna: Yes.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly walks down the stairs and sees Sonny sitting on the couch. She makes her way to couch and sits down next to him.

Carly: (snuggles to Sonny) I missed you last night. Business?

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: Anything I can help?

Sonny: (he looks at Carly closely) You know that I love you right?

Carly: Yes.

Sonny: I know that sometimes I come down hard on you. But it's to protect you and Michael. You 2 are the most important things in my life. There's nothing I wouldn't do to protect you.

Carly: (with a puzzle look) I know that Sonny. What's wrong? (Sonny hands Carly the folder. Carly looks at the folder and then at Sonny. She takes the folder and starts reading the content. The more she read the more pale she got) Where did you get this?

Sonny: Doesn't matter.

Carly: I want to know (with tears in her eyes.)

Sonny: I asked Benny.

Carly: Why?

Sonny: I needed answers.

Carly: My answers didn't satisfy you?

Sonny: Now you know why it didn't.

Carly: (gets up from the couch and starts pacing) What are you going to do?

Sonny: Why?

Carly: Why what?

Sonny: Why did you this? Why did you lie to me when I asked you?

Carly: Why do you think Sonny? It's because of your precious Robin that's why.

Sonny: Robin?

Carly: (rolls her eyes) She comes back into town and you and Jason are all over her. Once again Robin is right and Carly is wrong. It didn't matter that she betrayed everyone.

Sonny: So it was payback?

Carly: Why not? She caused enough trouble to my life.

Sonny: So you tried to kill Robin?

Carly: I just wanted to scare her.

Sonny: Why?

Carly: So she would leave town (Sonny shakes his head) What? Once again Carly disappoints the great Sonny Corinthos.

Sonny: (angry) Don't put this on me.

Carly: I did it for our family Sonny. I didn't want her to tear up our family with her lies and hatred of me.

Sonny: You lied to me Carly. You lied to my face. How am I supposed to trust you again?

Carly: But you trust her?

Sonny: Robin has never lied to me.

Carly: Another point for the Saint.

Sonny: Stop this. Don't blame your lying on Robin. How are we supposed to have a marriage if you can't be honest with me? How are we supposed to build a family?

Carly: You haven't been honest either Sonny.

Sonny: We've already gone over that.

Carly: I'm sorry Sonny. I panicked. I saw you with Robin and I panicked.

Sonny: You know how important Robin is to me.

Carly: More important than Michael and me?

Sonny: Why is it one or the other with you? Robin is a part of my life even though the last 4 years has dictated otherwise. I never want to see Robin hurt. A part of me hurts when Robin hurts. I don't know how to deal with the fact that my own wife tried to kill her.

Carly: (not liking the way Sonny sounds) Sonny, I'm so sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you.

Sonny: But you did. When I saw Robin lying on that hospital bed unconscious, a part of me died.

Carly: I don't understand.

Sonny: Robin is my last link to Stone. I promised Stone that I would protect Robin. Now not only have I failed to protect Robin, I was responsible for her getting injured.

Carly: Sonny, don't blame yourself. I did this.

Sonny: Don't you get it Carly? Whatever you do is a reflection of me. I am as much to blame for Robin's accident as you are.

Carly: No! (Sonny heads for the door) Where are you going?

Sonny: I need to make this right.

Carly: (tries to stop Sonny) What do you mean?

Sonny: I'm going to do what you should have done.

Carly: (scared) Sonny NO! What about Michael?

Sonny: (stops and turns to Carly) Michael? What about him?

Carly: He needs you.

Sonny: He has his real father.

Carly: You are the only father Michael knows (Sonny shakes his head. Carly looks at Sonny scared by Sonny's demeanor) Please Sonny don't do this. Don't destroy our family.

Sonny: (looks directly into Carly's eyes) I didn't destroy our family. You did when you decided to run Robin off the road.

Carly: (devastated by Sonny's words) Don't say that.

Sonny: I have to go (Sonny opens the door to find Brenda standing there) Brenda?

Brenda: (with a concerned look) Sonny? What's wrong? (Carly hearing Brenda's voice, opens the door.)

Carly: What are you doing here?

Brenda: (ignoring Carly) Sonny? (Sonny looks again at Carly but said nothing. He leaves.) What the hell did you do to him?

Carly: Sonny is not your concern.

Brenda: Wrong again Carly (Brenda walks away.)

Setting: Kelly's

Robin walked in and went to the counter.

Liz: Hi Robin.

Robin: Hi. How are you?

Liz: Fine. What can I get you?

Robin: A cup of soup and a muffin.

Liz: I'll be right back (brings Robin her food) Here you go.

Robin: Thank you.

Liz: Are you heading off to GH?

Robin: I have another double shift today.

Liz: How do you do it?

Robin: (laughs a little) I make sure to sleep when I can.

Liz: Are you enjoying working at GH?

Robin: Very much. Monica and Tony are so great. The nursing staff is excellent. And the technology is so new and aggressive.

Liz: Have you given any thoughts to staying permanently?

Robin: To tell you the truth, I haven't. It's so unlike me to not plan for the future. But for as long as I can remember, I'm actually enjoying my life at this very moment. I want to savor and enjoy it. I don't want to think about the future.

Liz: Good for you. You've worked hard to get where you are.

Robin: Yeah (Robin happily agrees with Liz) Besides, I'm so glad to have you all back in my life again.

Liz: Plus Brenda is getting married.

Robin: I can't wait. I'm so excited one would think it's my wedding.

Liz: Brenda is your best friend. It's normal for you to feel so connected. Have you heard from Emily and Nicholas?

Robin: You know I haven't, come to think of it. Aren't they supposed to be back by now?

Liz: I guess they're having too good of a time to come back.

Robin: I'm glad things worked out for them.

Liz: Me too. I thought Nicholas was stringing Emily along. I was so mad at him.

Robin: Nicholas is too much of a gentleman.

Liz: I'm glad I was wrong (Liz sees Courtney walking in. Liz worries) I can't wait to hear the details of their trip.

Courtney: (walking to the counter) Hi Elizabeth. (Courtney sees Robin) Robin

Robin: Courtney.

Liz: Your shift is not for another hour.

Courtney: I didn't have anything else to do.

Liz: If you want to takeover, I'll have lunch with Robin.

Courtney: No problem. (Courtney puts on her apron and walks back to the kitchen)

Liz: You ok?

Robin: Of course, why?

Liz: (hesitate) Jason.

Robin: (laughs it off) It's not my concerns who Jason dates. Jason and I are just friends.

Liz: Friends? I see how he looks at you Robin.

Robin: Well I only see Jason as a friend. I'm with Luis now.

Liz: Ok. I didn't mean to imply anything.

Robin: (puts her hand on Liz's) Don't apologize. We're friends. There's nothing that we can't talk about.

Liz: You know I see you how close you are to Georgie and Maxie and you're not even related. It makes me wish Sarah and I are on better terms.

Robin: You and Emily are close. I'm sure you consider Emily as your sister.

Liz: I do. But what I really want is a big sister, someone who I can ask advice, someone who will tell me when I'm doing something wrong, someone to look up to.

Robin: That's what Brenda is to me. That's why I was so devastated when I thought she was gone.

Liz: I understand (Liz was about to say something when the door opens. In walked Jason. Liz and Robin turned to look at Jason. Jason seeing Robin smiles. He walked over to the girls.)

Jason: Hi

Liz: Hi Jason. Sit down (Liz moves over so Jason could sit in between her and Robin.)

Jason: Thank you (turns to Robin) How are you?

Robin: I'm fine. You?

Jason: (can't take his eyes off of Robin) Busy with school (not wanting to be rude, he turns to Liz) Aren't you supposed to in school?

Liz: Hey! I don't have class until later.

Jason: (laughs) Just checking.

Liz: Very funny (they were laughing when Courtney walked out. She stopped short when she saw Jason.)

Courtney: (all smiles) Jason, what are you doing here?

Jason: I needed something to eat.

Courtney: Oh. You want to seat at a table and I'll bring you something?

Jason: I'll sit here. Could I get a cheeseburger, fries, and Coke?

Courtney: (disappointed with Jason's answer) Sure. (she walks away as Jason goes back to talking with Robin and Liz.)

Jason: I heard about Brenda's engagement. You must happy.

Robin: I am. Liz and I were just talking about that.

Liz: I hope Brenda decides on an autumn wedding. The leaves are so beautiful in December.

Jason: I don't think Brenda will notice the color of the leaves (they laugh)

Brenda: (strolling in) What are you guys laughing about?

Robin: Your ears must be ringing.

Brenda: Why?

Liz: We were just talking about you.

Brenda: (looks suspiciously at all 3) You mean you guys were laughing at me (Jason and Liz pretended to be serious.)

Robin: We weren't. Want to join us?

Brenda: Yes! I'm starving (they moved to a table. Jason ended up sitting between Brenda and Robin) So what were you laughing at?

Jason: How oblivious you are when Jax is in the same room.

Brenda: (hits Jason on the shoulder) Hey! I am not.

Robin: I don't know Brenda. Jason might be right on this.

Brenda: Don't you start!

Liz: Brenda, do you know when you'll get married?

Brenda: I don't want to wait too long.

Jason: Afraid Jax will change his mind? (Laughter erupts again)

Robin: You're bad.

Jason: (still smiling) Yeah well (Jason rest his arms on Robin's chair. Courtney walked out carrying Jason's food. She noticed Jason sitting closer to Robin and smiling. Courtney gets upset seeing this.)

Courtney: Here's your food Jason.

Brenda: Courtney, could I get the same? Thank you (Courtney just looks at all of them and walks away. She looks like she's going to burst into tears.) What I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted was that I don't want a long engagement. I was hoping Jax would agree to a late summer wedding.

Liz: That's sound romantic. Outdoor?

Brenda: I think so. I want lots of flowers (as Brenda is talking Jason and Robin looks at each other, neither saying anything. Brenda interrupts) You know as maid of honor, you'll have a lot of responsibilities. You'll have to help me with everything and all the details.

Robin: Yes, I'll be well prepared (more laughter. At the door, Robin spots Sonny, who's looking a little grim. Sonny tries to smile at Robin. Sonny approaches the table.)

Sonny: Hi everyone (everyone responded except Robin. She didn't know if she was ready to deal with her feelings for Sonny) Mind if I sit?

Brenda: Of course not (Sonny sits down between Robin and Liz.)

Sonny: Brenda, I heard congratulations are in order.

Brenda: Yes. I was going to tell you this morning.

Sonny: Sorry about that (everyone looked at each other not understanding) so when's the wedding?

Brenda: That's what we were talking about.

Liz: Brenda wants it be late summer.

Sonny: Nice weather (to Robin) you must be excited.

Robin: (politely) Yes.

Brenda: (wanting to break the ice for Robin and Sonny) Robin is going to be my maid of honor. She agreed to do everything.

Robin: (laughs) Not. I might have agreed to help.

Brenda: Same difference (everyone laughs. Courtney comes out of the kitchen and notices that Sonny has now joined the table. She was even more mad.)

Sonny: So it's going to be a big wedding?

Brenda: Not too big. Jax and I haven't really discussed the details.

Liz: It's going to be beautiful either way. Port Charles needs a wedding. We haven't seen one in awhile.

Brenda: You know the Nurse's Ball is coming up. Have you guys decided on your act yet?

Liz: Emily and Nicholas aren't back from their trip so we haven't decided anything. We're hoping Robin and Lucky will sing and we can be backup or something.

Robin: (shakes her head) No singing for me.

Jason: Why not?

Robin: Lucy will more than likely want me to give a speech. I'll be too nervous to do anything else.

Brenda: I think you should do something. It'll be fun.

Robin: I'll have more fun watching you guys (Robin's phone rings) Excuse me. Hello?

Luis: Robin, it's Luis.

Robin: Hi Luis (everyone listens intently including Jason)

Luis: I need to speak to you. Where are you?

Robin: I'm at Kelly's right now. What's wrong?

Luis: Could you stay there? I'll be right there.

Robin: (worried) Ok. I'll wait here.

Brenda: What was that about?

Robin: Luis needed to speak to me.

Sonny: Something wrong?

Robin: He didn't say (Sonny and Jason look at each other just as Luis walks into Kelly's. Robin sees Luis at the door and goes to him.) Luis, what's wrong?

Luis: (looks at the table and then back at the Robin) Let's go outside (he leads Robin outside.)

Robin: (concerned) Luis?

Luis: You know there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect you, that all I want is for you to be safe?

Robin: Yes, I know. What is it?

Luis: I had my men investigate your accidents. It wasn't that I didn't trust Anna and Mac but that I wanted my own investigation.

Robin: What did you find?

Luis: Carly tailed you from the hospital to the crash site.

Robin: How do you know that?

Luis: Videotapes from the hospital and the city.

Robin: Are you certain?

Luis: (hands Robin the video) Yes. Robin.

Robin: (not like the sound of Luis' voice) What else?

Luis: Sonny had one of his men do an investigation also.

Robin: Are you telling me that Sonny knows that Carly tried to kill me?

Luis: I'm sorry.

Robin: (steps away from Luis. Robin could feel the anger boiling up in her.) How long has he known?

Luis: At least a day.

Robin: (walks back to Luis) Thank you for doing this. I'll give this to Uncle Mac when he gets back in town.

Luis: Are you okay?

Robin: I'll be fine (Robin wraps her arms around Luis waist.)

Luis: Call me if you need me (Robin nods and slowly walks back inside Kelly's. Robin walked directly to Sonny.)

Sonny: (noticed the angry look on Robin) What's wrong Robin?

Robin: (in a stern voice) You knew the truth and yet you sat here and chitchat with me as if it's nothing (Jason gets up from his chair and goes over to Robin.)

Sonny: Robin, I...

Robin: What excuses are you going to come up with? Carly was being emotional, Carly had a fight with you, Carly had a bad hair day. I actually don't care what the excuses are. But what I do care is that you knew the truth and you look into my face and said nothing. Nothing!

Sonny: Robin please let me explain.

Robin: Go ahead, I'm waiting.

Sonny: I only found out yesterday. I wanted to tell you. When I came in here and saw you with your friends, you look so happy. I didn't want to spoil it.

Robin: That is such bull! (With a disgusted look) Consider me dead because I never NEVER want to see you again (Robin leaves. Jason looks at a heartbroken Sonny but Sonny indicated for Jason to go.)

Brenda: What's going on Sonny?

Sonny: (gets up from the table) I can't talk about it (he leaves.)

Liz: Should you go after Robin?

Brenda: It looks like Jason went after her.

Liz: I hope she's alright.

Setting: The docks

Jason: Robin! (Trying to catch up after Robin) Robin!

Robin: What?

Jason: Wait (Robin stops and turns around toward Jason) Can we talk?

Robin: I don't thinks that's a good idea now.

Jason: Robin?

Robin: What?

Jason: Talk to me.

Robin: (frustrated) What do you want me to say? How incredibly stupid I feel at the moment? How lonely I feel? How at this very moment wish with all my heart to have Stone standing in front of me?

Jason: (crushed that Robin was yearning for Stone) Stone?

Robin: (with tears in her eyes) Jason, the man who I loved with all my heart and who I considered my brother knows that his wife tried to kill me and said nothing. He sat there and acted as if that's nothing, that my life meant nothing. Does he hate me that much for betraying you?

Jason: Sonny doesn't hate you Robin.

Robin: Could have fooled me.

Jason: Sonny came to me yesterday after finding out. He didn't know how to approach you.

Robin: And this is how? That's warped Jason.

Jason: I think Sonny really did want to tell you.

Robin: Don't make excuses for him Jason.

Jason: I'm not.

Robin: (frustrated, Robin sits down on the bench) I'm so tired Jason.

Jason: (sits down next to Robin) You know I think this is first time that I've ever heard your voiced say that.

Robin: It doesn't do any good for people to know what I'm feeling.

Jason: Robin, you always put other people before yourself. It's not a bad thing to put yourself first once in a while.

Robin: (smiles tentatively at Jason) You're trying to make me feel better.

Jason: (smiles) Is it working?

Robin: Maybe.

Jason: What did you mean earlier about Stone?

Robin: It seems that since I've been back I find myself missing Stone. I like to think if Stone were here none of this would be happening.

Jason: (sad by Robin's words) Oh.

Robin: I'm sorry that it hurts you to know. But I told you before Jason, I don't regret us. You gave me Caitlin. I felt so whole when I held Caitlin in my arms. The only thing I regret is how we end.

Jason: I've regretted my words every day for the last 4 years.

Robin: Why did you say them? I know that you were angry with me but I never expected such harsh and cold words from you.

Jason: I was angry and hurt. But I knew that I couldn't live without you if I saw you everyday. I wanted you to leave. I wanted you to make it easier for me to live without you.

Robin: I played your words in my head over and over. I thought you hated me.

Jason: Hate? Never. I'm alive today because of you. I took reckless chances with my life until you. You taught me to live Robin.

Robin: And you gave me the courage to fight for life. How did we go so wrong?

Jason: My foolishness.

Robin: (smiles softly at Jason) I'm not blameless. I'm glad that you're in my life again.

Jason: (surprise by Robin's words) You are?

Robin: Yes. I've always been able to talk to you and no one else. I missed that.

Jason: I do too.

Robin: (looks at her watch and takes her dosage and water from her bag) I have to get to the hospital.

Jason: Are you still on the same protocol?

Robin: There been some minor changes because of the availability of new drugs. I take more pills less often now.

Jason: Everything is normal?

Robin: (smiles at Jason's concern) Yes. I'm sure Alan would tell you if otherwise. I really have to go.

Jason: Ok...Bye (he watches Robin walk off.)

Sonny: (walking up to Jason) How is she?

Jason: Better (Sonny sits down next to Jason) She thinks you hate her Sonny.

Sonny: (rubs his forehead) This is such a mess.

Jason: Why didn't you tell Robin Sonny? It would have been better than her hearing it from Alcazar.

Sonny: I messed up.

Jason: What are you going to do about Carly?

Sonny: I don't know. I have Michael to think about.

Jason: What did she say?

Sonny: She wanted to scare Robin so Robin would leave town.

Jason: Do you believe her?

Sonny: I don't know what to believe. My own wife is a stranger to me.

Jason: The trial is only 2 weeks away. It doesn't look good for Carly.

Sonny: (nods his head) I'm at a lost.

Jason: You know there is one possibility.

Sonny: I thought of that. It's not fair for Michael to live like that. I've seen him with AJ, he's starting to love AJ. Do I have the right to do that to him?

Jason: Then leave with Carly alone.

Sonny: She won't leave without Michael.

Jason: I'm sorry I can't help you with this.

Sonny: I need to figure this out on my own. Take care.

Jason: Bye. (Jason watches Sonny leaves. Jason felt for Sonny. He didn't like seeing Sonny like this. But Jason had to admit that a part of him was glad that he wasn't responsible for Carly anymore. Carly's lies and schemes cost him Robin and Caitlin. Jason hoped that Sonny wouldn't have to pay as high of a price.)

Setting: Brenda's office

Aidan: (strolling in with a big smile) Hello Brenda.

Brenda: Aidan. This is a surprise. What are you doing here?

Aidan: Visiting with you of course.

Brenda: (not buying it) Hoping to run into Julia?

Aidan: Am I that obvious?

Brenda: No. I took a wild guess.

Aidan: So there are 2 reasons why I'm here.

Brenda: What can I do for you?

Aidan: I was planning to hanging out in Port Charles for a while.

Brenda: Robin will be happy to hear that.

Aidan: I was wondering if you know where I could get a job.

Brenda: (skeptical) You actually work?

Aidan: Yes. Not all of us have millionaire fiancé to buy us a company to run.

Brenda: You got me there (thinks for a moment) I'm in need of a warehouse manager.

Aidan: Warehouse manager?

Brenda: Yeah, someone to handle the shipping and receiving, packaging for delivery, vendors relationship.

Aidan: Sounds interesting.

Brenda: Interested?

Aidan: Sure. Why not?

Brenda: Good. I can walk you down to HR now to do the paperwork.

Aidan: You're not busy.

Brenda: Not at all. It's one of perks of having your fiancé buy you a company.

Aidan: (laughs) You're bad Brenda.

Brenda: I try.

Setting: Lilly's grave

Sonny walked solemnly to Lily's grave. There were some fresh flowers on the tombstone. Sonny smiled. It had to be from Robin. Robin knew how Lily loved flowers. A wave for fresh tears rolled down Sonny's face.

Sonny: I lost her again Lily. This time I don't know if I can ever make it right. She's my little sister and I've done nothing but hurt her. How do I make this right? How do get Robin back?

Setting: Kelly's

After filling out the necessary paperwork at Deception, Aidan landed at Kelly's. He sat down at a table with some papers from Deception. Courtney walked over.

Courtney: What can I get you?

Aidan: Cheeseburger, fries, and a coke.

Courtney: Coming right up (she walked away. Aidan went back to his reading. Carly came stomping in toward the counter.)

Carly: (rather loudly) Courtney, have you seen Sonny? (which caused Aidan to turn around)

Courtney: He was here a couple of hours ago.

Carly: Did he tell you where he went? (Before Courtney could answer Aidan interrupts.)

Aidan: (strolls toward Carly) Lost track of your owner? Or is it the reverse?

Carly: What?

Aidan: Too hard of a question for you to comprehend?

Carly: Do you know who you're talking to?

Aidan: (laughs at Carly) Do you actually think Corinthos name has any kind of power?

Carly: You'll think so when there's a gun pointing at your head.

Aidan: You think he has enough spine to pull the trigger?

Carly: (can't believe what she's hearing) Why the hell are you bothering me?

Aidan: For the same reason that your existence bothers the bloody hell out of me.

Carly: Why should I bother you? I don't even know you.

Aidan: You sure about that? Look at me closely. See a resemblance to anyone you tried to kill?

Courtney: (finally speaks up) He's Robin's cousin Carly (Carly was speechless.)

Aidan: Did you swallow your tongue?

Carly: (recovers) I don't have any business with you.

Aidan: Wrong. Robin is my business. You take care to remember that.

Carly: Don't threaten me. I...

Aidan: Yeah yeah you'll tell your small-time spineless criminal husband to come after me. You know if you need a human shield you should have chosen better. But then you were a little busy stabbing Jason in the back by hoping in bed with his best friend.

Carly: (raise her hand to slap Aidan) You bastard (but Aidan captured Caly's hand before it reached his face.)

Aidan: Don't insult yourself. (Dumfounded, Carly just glare at Aidan. Aidan was waiting for Carly to say something but she didn't. She walked out of Kelly's without saying anything.)

Courtney: That was uncalled for.

Aidan: Said who?

Courtney: You were crude.

Aidan: No, it was the truth.

Courtney: And you're the authority on the truth? Don't be so sure that everything Robin tells you is the truth.

Aidan: Now why would you say something like that? You don't even know Robin.

Courtney: I know enough about her.

Aidan: Do I hear jealousy in your voice?

Courtney: Why would I be jealous of Robin?

Aidan: Let's see you left your husband thinking Jason will take you with open arms. Instead Jason is busy courting Robin.

Courtney: Jason is not courting Robin.

Aidan: Are you delusional or is it just your age showing?

Courtney: (insulted that Aidan implied she was a kid) I am old enough.

Aidan: If you were, you would know that Jason is in love with Robin.

Courtney: You would love for me to believe that so I would step out of the picture for Robin to be with Jason.

Aidan: Actually I don't think Robin wants Jason back. But he keeps hanging around. I guess when you had the good thing you don't want to settle for anything less (Aidan walks back to his table and finished his hamburger.)

Setting: Luke's club

Luke walked into the club with his overnight bag. It was a light night at the club. Luke walks to the bar and puts his bag on the ground. He poured himself a stiff glass of scotch and took a sip. Jason walks in and sees Luke.

Jason: You're back.

Luke: Just got back.

Jason: Everything ok?

Luke: Couldn't say, still a lot of unanswered questions. How's Robin?

Jason: Fine. Why?

Luke: She's on my mind, that's all.

Jason: What's going on Luke?

Luke: Wish I could you tell you.

Jason: Is it Robin?

Luke: You could say that.

Jason: Tell me Luke. I need to know if it's about Robin.

Luke: She'll have to tell you if she wants you to know.

Setting: Mac's house

Anna: (resting her legs on the coffee table) I'm glad to be home.

Mac: (goes to sit next to Anna on the couch) You ok?

Anna: I guess. I have a lot to think about.

Mac: Yes. Do we want to tell Robin any of this? She'll have questions why we were gone.

Anna: I hate to burden her with this.

Mac: Robin is a doctor. She might have some insights that we haven't thought of.

Anna: I suppose you're right.

Aidan: (walking through the door) You're back.

Anna: Hi.

Mac: Hi Aidan. How are things?

Aidan: Quiet.

Anna: Robin?

Aidan: Fine. She's doing a double shift tonight. How was your trip?

Anna: Informative.

Aidan: What did you find?

Anna: (looks at Mac before she starts talking) We found David in Mexico. It looks like he's performing procedures that are illegal here in the states.

Aidan: Really. What sort of procedure?

Mac: The man who hired Hayward is most interested in having children.

Aidan: What does that mean?

Mac: We don't have all the details but it looks like Hayward is performing some sort of treatment for the man's wife, maybe hormone therapy or surgery of some sort.

Aidan: I'm really glad that you got rid of him.

Anna: (nods) We still don't know how this relates to Carly and Robin.

Mac: I'll let you guy talk. I'm going to grab a quick shower.

Anna: Ok. So you've been keeping out of trouble?

Aidan: Of course.

Anna: Why don't I believe you?

Aidan: Because you are a suspicious person. I did find a job.

Anna: Really? Where?

Aidan: Warehouse manager for Brenda Barrett.

Anna: Congratulations. This means you're going to stay in Port Charles for a while.

Aidan: For now at least.

Setting: GH's break room

Brenda: I thought I might find you in here.

Robin: Hi. What are you doing here? It's late.

Brenda: I wanted to make sure you were ok.

Robin: A phone call would have done.

Brenda: Well you know me. What happened with Sonny this morning?

Robin: Sonny found out that Carly did try to kill me. He had Benny do an investigation.

Brenda: And he didn't say anything to you?

Robin: I didn't know until Luis told me.

Brenda: I can't believe this. Has Carly successfully brainwashed him?

Robin: I felt so stupid. He was sitting there talking to me as if nothing was going on. Does he care so little for my life anymore that he can just dismissed me like that?

Brenda: What did Jason say about this?

Robin: That Sonny didn't know how to approach me when he found out.

Brenda: Do you believe Jason?

Robin: Yes. But why didn't he Brenda? Why did he pretend everything was normal?

Brenda: I don't know sweetie. Maybe you should let Sonny explain.

Robin: No. I'm so angry and hurt right now.

Brenda: I'm sorry. It was starting to look like you and Sonny might be able to patch things up.

Robin: Not after this. I don't know if I can forgive him for this.

Brenda: You want to hear some good news?

Robin: What?

Brenda: I gave Aidan a job at Deception.

Robin: Aidan, working?

Brenda: (laughs) Yes. He agreed to be the warehouse manager.

Robin: That means he's staying.

Brenda: Thought you might like the idea.

Robin: I like having him around.

Brenda: You're not the only one.

Robin: What do you mean?

Brenda: I think Julia likes Aidan. I know he fancies Julia.

Robin: Really? When did this happen?

Brenda: They had some misunderstanding but I cleared it up. He came looking for Julia at my office today.

Robin: He's been busy.

Brenda: I'll say.

Robin: When do you want to go shopping for your dress?

Brenda: So you are happy for me?

Robin: Of course. Why would you ask that?

Brenda: I thought it might bring back memories.

Robin: It does some but it doesn't overshadow my happiness for you and Jax. You guys so deserve this. Please don't worry about me. This is your time.

Brenda: You know this time I'll have you and Julia. I'm truly happy.

Robin: It shows. Is Jax on cloud 9 also?

Brenda: (laughs) Yeah!

Robin: You guys are going to live at the cottage after the wedding?

Brenda: Yes. You know Jax's penthouse will be available. You could move out of Mac's and into there.

Robin: (shakes) No penthouse for me. I want a house with a yard, trees, and flowers. That's why I loved living at your cottage.

Brenda: How are things between you and Jason?

Robin: (silent for a second) It's hard to say.

Brenda: Are you guy friends? More than friends?

Robin: I don't know. We can be with each other and not be hostile.

Brenda: You guys look comfortable with each other this afternoon.

Robin: Yes but there's something there that I can't put into words. It's like Jason is waiting for me to say something. And I want him to say something. But I don't know what I want him to say. Ugh! Do I even make sense?

Brenda: Do you feel more for Jason than friendship?

Robin: (grudgingly) Yes. No. I don't want anything more.

Brenda: Why not?

Robin: Luis has been so patient with me. And I have strong feelings for him. I think me spending time with Jason is hurting Luis.

Brenda: Did Luis say something?

Robin: No. I think he knows I need some kind of closure with Jason so he's not saying anything.

Brenda: Wow. I didn't know Luis had that much patient. Closure? Do you feel that's what you need with Jason?

Robin: I wish I knew. When did that draw to be with Sonny stop for you?

Brenda: I can't pinpoint the exact moment. I think it happens gradually over time. Jax brings certain feelings out of me that Sonny can't. I feel so cherish with Jax. I don't have to walk on eggshells all the time. But you know the more time I spend with Jax then less that I feel drawn to Sonny. How does Luis make you feel?

Robin: Safe. But more than that he gives me comfort.

Brenda: Is Luis who you see your future with? (Unbeknown to Brenda and Robin, Jason was standing outside the door. Jason was about to walk in when he heard Brenda asked Robin the question.)

Robin: (with a smile) Yes. I don't exactly see us in a house with a white fence but I do see us together (hearing Robin's words crushed Jason's heart. Jason was counting on Robin still loving him and wanting a future with him. He thought he was making progress with Robin. That she was learning to trust him again. Sadly, Jason walks quietly away.)

Brenda: Not Jason?

Robin: That is a dream I've been living with for as long as I can remember. Just when I think that I should give it up something would happen that makes me want to hold on to it. It's childish isn't?

Brenda: No sweetie. Everyone should have dreams.

Robin: Even when you know that it won't come true?

Brenda: How do you know it won't? Jason is doing a 360 with his life. He can barely stand the sight of Carly. He wants you.

Robin: But for how long? Until the next time that I do something he doesn't agree with or when I find out that I can't have any more children.

Brenda: Robin, don't make those decisions for Jason.

Robin: I can't help it. I so want to trust Jason but I just can't.

Brenda: You need to give it time. You guys have only started talking to each other again.

Robin: How much time?

Brenda: I wished I had the answer for you. It sounds like you want time to learn Jason again. Why don't you give yourself that time?

Robin: But what do I hope to gain?

Brenda: Friendship. You and Jason were friends before anything.

Robin: Yes. I do miss not being to talk to him.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Carly opened the door slowly. She didn't know what to expect from Sonny. The penthouse was dark when she walked in. Sonny turns on the light that startles Carly a little bit.

Sonny: You're back.

Carly: This is my home (not sure to handle Sonny) are you ok?

Sonny: I am as expected.

Carly: (approaches Sonny slowly) Can we talk?

Sonny: I'm listening.

Carly: I'm sorry I lied to you. I didn't know how you would take the truth.

Sonny: What is the truth?

Carly: (looks at Sonny, not understanding) What do you mean?

Sonny: You didn't tell me anything.

Carly: I ran Robin off the road.

Sonny: Why? When I asked you specifically to stay away from Robin?

Carly: I got scared. I didn't want her to turn you against me. With her and Brenda back in town, I felt I was losing you.

Sonny: So you tried to kill Robin.

Carly: I would never do that. I just wanted to scare her.

Sonny: What happened if her car slid down the river? What happened if Jason didn't find her when he did? Did you even think of those possibilities?

Carly: She's fine Sonny.

Sonny: You don't get it do you? Just because Robin is fine does not clear the slate for you. You're being charged with first-degree attempted murder. You could go to prison for the rest of your life.

Carly: That won't happen.

Sonny: Why not? What do you know?

Carly: You won't let that happen. I know you won't.

Sonny: I don't have a say in the matter. This is a high profile case. Robin is a figure in the city. No judge in his right mind would let you off.

Carly: You have power. You got me out of jail.

Sonny: (shakes his head) No I didn't.

Carly: What do you mean you didn't? How did I get out then?

Sonny: Robin.

Carly: (disbelief) What!

Sonny: I asked Robin to speak to the judge. She told me that she didn't owe me anything. But she did it anyway.

Carly: How could you ask her?

Sonny: What did you expect me to do? You were in jail. Michael was asking about you. AJ didn't have answers and I didn't have answers.

Carly: Why would she do this? She hates me.

Sonny: I don't know.

Carly: (the possibility of going jail sinks in) Are you saying there's a chance I might go to jail?

Sonny: Yes, unless we come up with a solid alibi for you that night.

Carly: Can't you come up with someone?

Sonny: It still doesn't explain about the car.

Carly: (desperate) Sonny please, I can't go to jail. What will happen to Michael? He won't even know me.

Sonny: (sees the desperation in Carly) I'll talk to Ric. But Carly be prepared for the worst.

Carly: No. I have faith in you Sonny. I know you'll pull through for me.

Setting: The bridge

Jason found himself at the bridge. He was still numb from hearing Robin's words. With all his heart, he thought he was making progress. Jason so sure that deep down Robin still loved him. It was just buried beneath all the hurt that he had caused her. To hear that Robin was dreaming of a future with Luis was a hit to his heart. Every time he thought of the future, it was with Robin. Jason remembers back to the time where Robin made a home out of the cottage for him and Michael.

The weeks leading up to Carly's trial were hectic for some, quiet for others and nerve racking for one. Jason kept away from Robin. He concentrated on his school and working at the architect firm. Jason enjoys working with the other architects. They're teaching him things that he wasn't learning in school. Nighttime was bad for Jason. He found his thoughts drift to Robin a lot. He sleeps and dreams of Robin. Mad with himself for thinking of Robin, Jason would get up and study. Robin on the other hand has been busy with Deception and working at GH. She had to do a couple of photo shoots. It was getting easier for her to be in front of the camera. It was a time for her and Lucky to get caught up with each other. Robin has been participating in more surgeries at the hospital. She works mostly with Monica. Robin has also been spending more time with Luis. Luis is talking more about himself. He talked of his parents and how he lost them when he was a child. He was raised mostly in orphanages. Mac isn't all thrilled about Robin being Luis but he has been supportive. Mac still doesn't trust Luis. Anna has been dealing with her own issues. She did approach Alan on how best to handle David. Alan suggested that they file an inquiry with the medical board. Anna and Mac haven't figure out if Carly is connected with David. They haven't approach the subject with Robin. But they know they need to tell Robin before someone else tells Robin.

Setting: Kelly's

Robin: Does it feel like it's been forever since we've eaten together?

Anna: Yes it does.

Mac: How are things at the hospital?

Robin: Busy. We lost a couple of more nurses and a doctor due to budget.

Anna: You'll have to put in more hours?

Robin: All of us do actually.

Mac: This recession is really hurting GH.

Robin: Yes. Alan is having a hard time balancing care and service with the limited staff.

Anna: It's a good the thing that they still get the Cassadine grant.

Robin: Yes. They would really be hurting otherwise. I think Alan was going to approach Nicholas for additional funding.

Anna: Do you think Nicholas will comply?

Robin: I think so. He wants to do something good with his inheritance.

Mac: Is this going to affect the AIDS wing?

Robin: God, I hope not. I'm hoping we'll be able to raise money from the Nurse's Ball so it won't have to depend on GH for support.

Mac: How much money are we talking about?

Robin: About 25 million.

Anna: Do you think you can raise that kind of money?

Robin: I don't know. This is the most money that we've ever need. I don't know how I'm going to do it.

Mac: Robin, you can't take this all on your own.

Robin: I feel a responsibility for it. Stone would want me to do this.

Anna: Honey, this is such a big task. You have so many other things going on.

Robin: I can't abandon it. I need the AIDS wing too. The research that is being done there is also keeping me alive.

Mac: Is there anything we can do?

Robin: Come to the Nurse's Ball?

Mac: That's a given. What else?

Robin: I think I'll try some kind of charity drive, drawing or auction. I have to discuss it with Lucy.

Anna: I like to help if I can. You can also count on Alex and Dimitri. They called and said that they would also be coming.

Robin: (excited) Really? That's fantastic. I've missed them.

Anna: Dimitri said Alex talks about you to everyone. She's very proud of her niece.

Robin: She's so sweet. Wait until you meet Aunt Alex Uncle Mac. She'll knock your socks off.

Mac: Well I can't wait then. Lucy will have to set an extra big table for us this year (Mac gives Anna a look.)

Anna: Honey, there's something we wanted to talk to you about.

Robin: What is it?

Anna: Carly was in Mexico last year around November.

Robin: Mexico?

Anna: Yes. Luke also found that David was in Mexico at the same time.

Robin: David? He's in involved with Carly?

Mac: We don't know. Your Mom and I went to Mexico to find out.

Robin: So that's where you went.

Anna: Yes. David has setup some kind of private practice at someone's residence there, someone who is rich and powerful.

Robin: I don't understand how this relates to Carly.

Mac: Most of the work that David is doing there is considered illegal here in the states. Majority of his practice deals with infertility. The man who he is working for can't have kids. So he's hired David as a doctor for his wife. We don't know exactly what the treatments are. We were hoping you might have some ideas.

Robin: Well France is very progressive in their infertility treatment for men and women. But it deals mostly with hormone treatments. There aren't any procedures that I'm aware of.

Mac: Is there anything that David can do if the woman is infertile?

Robin: Not anything that you can't do here in the states. If the woman is physically unable to conceive or produce eggs then there are corrective procedures. Most of these procedures are in trial phases.

Anna: That might be something.

Robin: How does this involve Carly?

Anna: We don't know. It just might be a coincidence that they were both in Mexico at the same time.

Robin: But you don't think so.

Mac: Not where David is concerned.

Robin: What do we do now?

Anna: I've talked to Alan about bringing David to the medical board. As for Carly, we're at a dead end.

Robin: You don't think Carly will get off, do you?

Mac: No. With the tape that Luis provided, it'll be hard for any jury or judge to have any doubts.

Robin: I can't wait for this thing to end.

Anna: It'll be over in a couple of days honey.

Setting: Courtney's apartment

Courtney: (opens the door) Sonny. What are you doing here?

Sonny: Are you busy?

Courtney: Not at all. Come in (Sonny walks in.)

Sonny: How have you been?

Courtney: Fine. What's going on Sonny?

Sonny: I'm sure that you know that Carly's trial is coming up on Wednesday.

Courtney: Yes.

Sonny: I need your help.

Courtney: Help? With what?

Sonny: Carly needs an alibi.

Courtney: You want me to be Carly's alibi?

Sonny: Yes.

Courtney: Do you know what you're asking?

Sonny: Yes. I don't have a choice. Carly go to prison for life.

Courtney: Are you saying she's guilty?

Sonny: She didn't really want Robin dead.

Courtney: (gets up from the couch and walks around) I don't know

Sonny. This is asking a lot.

Sonny: I don't know where else to turn.

Courtney: Does Jason know anything about this?

Sonny: No.

Courtney: I need to think about this.

Sonny: I know you do but we don't have a lot of time.

Courtney: You need answer tonight?

Sonny: I'm sorry for asking you this.

Courtney: Fine. I'll do it.

Sonny: (relief) Thank you Courtney. I'll never forget this.

Courtney: Your welcome.

Sonny: I'll have Ric contact you. He'll go over your testimony with you.

Courtney: Ok.

Sonny: I have to go. Carly is waiting at home.

Courtney: Ok. Bye.

Setting: Kelly's

Liz: (wiping down the counter) Hi. I haven't seen you in awhile.

Jason: I've been busy with school and work.

Liz: How is that coming?

Jason: I like the people I'm working with.

Liz: Is it weird going into the office everyday?

Jason: A little. At least I don't have to wear a tie everyday. They're very casual.

Liz: Sounds like you're enjoying it.

Jason: I am.

Liz: You want something to eat?

Jason: Yes.

Liz: Let me guess, cheeseburger, fries and a coke (Jason nods, Liz shakes her head) Robin orders the exactly same thing when she's here (Jason winces a little hearing Robin's name. It seems the only place he can get away from Robin is his job. Everywhere else is a reminder of Robin, especially this place. Liz notices the change in Jason.) She's fine in case you're wondering.

Jason: I wasn't.

Liz: Sure. You don't think I could guess why you haven't been around?

Jason: Is she happy?

Liz: (smiles at Jason's questions. His heart will always belong to Robin, Liz realized) Yes, she is. She's been doing more surgeries with Monica. She had a couple of photo shoots. Lucky said she getting more comfortable with the camera. Right now she's busy raising money to keep the AIDS wing open.

Jason: What do you mean?

Liz: GH lost a lot of money from the city so Alan had to do a lot of cuts. Robin is afraid there won't be any money left to keep the wing open. She's trying to come up with some alternative ways to raise money for the wing besides the Nurse's ball.

Jason: I didn't know.

Liz: You've been busy with your own life. Robin asked if I had seen you.

Jason: (surprised, he smiles) She did?

Liz: (smiles at Jason's smile) Yes. I told her I haven't seen you either. Why have you stayed away?

Jason: It's for the best.

Liz: For who? You're obviously not happy and Robin is asking about you.

Jason: I'm doing my best for everyone's sake.

Liz: Jason, I hope you consider me a friend (he nods) as your friend, I don't think you should give up on Robin. You obviously still love Robin a lot anyone can see that. I think Robin has feelings for you too. She needs time to explore what those feelings are. Can you just give her time?

Jason: Robin already knows whom she wants.

Liz: You're wrong Jason. I've seen the way Robin looks at you. It's not the same way that she looks at Luis.

Jason: I can't stand seeing her with another man.

Liz: I know it's difficult. But Jason, if you cut yourself off from Robin how is she going to explore her feelings for you?

Jason: (frustrated, Jason rubs his eyes) I don't know.

Liz: Trust me. Robin is not ready to have you walk out of her life.

Jason: Ok.

Liz: Carly's trial is in a couple of days. Will you be there?

Jason: Yes.

Liz: Good.

Setting: Brenda's office, next day

Aidan: Hey.

Brenda: Hey to you too.

Aidan: You're busy today?

Brenda: Not very. Why?

Aidan: The trial is tomorrow and even though Robin is pretending everything is normal, I know it's not. I was wondering if you wanted to take Robin out for some fun.

Brenda: That's a great idea. We could all go to Luke's.

Aidan: Is that the Jazz club?

Brenda: Something like that.

Aidan: You think Julia would want to come?

Brenda: I can call her and ask for you.

Aidan: Funny (Brenda laughs) I can do it.

Brenda: What time?

Aidan: Around 6:30?

Brenda: Sounds good. I'll round up the gang.

Aidan: Where can I find Julia?

Brenda: Probably at the construction site.

Aidan: Construction site?

Brenda: That building is her baby. She's keeping a close eye on it (Aidan was puzzled) It's down by Highway 11 before you get to GH.

Aidan: Ok bye (Aidan leaves with questions)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Ric: We have a problem (shutting the door loudly. Sonny and Carly were playing with Michael.)

Sonny: What is it? (Ric looks over at Michael.)

Carly: Michael, could you go upstairs and play? (Michael leaves)

Ric: Scott Baldwin stopped by my office. He had new evidence that he had to give me.

Sonny: What? (Ric hands Sonny the videotape) What this?

Ric: It's a tape that shows Carly, tailing Robin from the hospital to the crash site. Well not exactly the crash site but half a mile from it.

Carly: (shocked) How is that possible?

Ric: A little bird gathered the tapes from GH's parking lot and streetlights cameras.

Carly: The streetlights have cameras?

Ric: Yes. They were installed after 9/11.

Sonny: What does this mean?

Ric: That Courtney would be put in jail for perjury if she goes up there to testify as Carly's alibi.

Carly: (getting frantic) What do we do?

Ric: There's nothing we can do. This tape places you at the accident scene and along with the damages to the car, they have an airtight case against you. No juror or judge in their right mind would acquit you.

Sonny: Are you certain?

Ric: Yes, unless you have connection to the juror. Even if that's a case, the judge would call a mistrial and we would have to get a new jury panel.

Carly: I can't go to jail Sonny.

Sonny: Is there anything we can do?

Ric: We can plead guilty to the charge and hope the judge will be lenient or we can plead bargain with Scott.

Sonny: What are the chances of that?

Ric: Very slim. He pretty much stated that he wanted to go to trial when he gave me the tape.

Sonny: What are we looking at?

Ric: Minimum 15 years.

Carly: (hysterical) 15 years! No way. I'll be an old woman when I get out.

Sonny: Calm down Carly.

Ric: There's a chance the judge will pose a less sentence if we plead guilty. If Carly shows that she was remorseful, the judge will take that into consideration.

Carly: I'm not going to grovel.

Ric: No one is asking you. I can prepare something for you.

Sonny: Why don't you do that? Carly, you will read the statement (Carly glares at Sonny.) Is there anything else we should be aware of?

Ric: No. I better go prepare that statement. I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Sonny: Ok. Thanks Ric (Ric leaves. Sonny was quiet after Ric left. Carly was waiting patiently for Sonny to say something.)

Carly: What are you thinking?

Sonny: The tape. Where did it come from?

Carly: I don't know. Why does it matter now?

Sonny: The timing of it. I need to go check something out.

Carly: What?

Sonny: I'll be back in a bit.

Carly: Fine.

Setting: Construction site

Aidan arrived at the construction. There were about 25 or so men working to clean out the area. Aidan didn't see Julia. He approached a group of men.

Aidan: Could you tell me where I can find Julia Barrett?

Worker: Who?

Aidan: Julia Barrett?

2nd worker: She's the boss.

Worker: Don't need to know her name, just her signature on my paycheck.

Aidan: (a little confused) Where can I find her?

2nd worker: The trailer down there.

Aidan: Thanks (Aidan walked toward the trailer. He was wondering what the men were talking about. Aidan got to the trailer and he could hear voices inside. It sounded like Julia talking to some men. Aidan opened the door and walked in quietly. No one noticed him.)

Julia: I specifically stated that I wanted this area cleaned. I still see men outside clearing out the grounds. How do you explain that?

Man 1: We ran into problems with some of the workers.

Julia: Then you should have gotten new workers. Why did we wait until the last minute to hire these workers?

Man 2: The union wanted more money.

Julia: Why wasn't I made aware of this? We are 5 days behind schedule. That's costing Barrett Enterprises more than 5 million. Did the union wanted more than 5 million? (Julia noticed some movement by the door. She stopped when she saw that it was Aidan.) Aidan, what are you doing here?

Aidan: (disoriented by what he heard) I needed to speak to you. I can come back.

Julia: No (back to the men) gentlemen, I hope that we have resolved this. I expect the grounds to be cleared in 3 days time. Thank you for your time (the men leaves. Julia takes a few seconds to calm down.) I didn't expect to see you.

Aidan: (walking slowly toward Julia) What is all this?

Julia: This is where I work.

Aidan: Work?

Julia: Yes. We're supposed to demolish this building and put in a new one.

Aidan: We?

Julia: (realizes what Aidan was getting at) Barrett Enterprises.

Aidan: You're Barrett Enterprises (Julia nods) why didn't you tell me this?

Julia: Why does it matter?

Aidan: Why did you hide it?

Julia: I didn't hide anything.

Aidan: (a little angry at being deceived) Yes you did. Barrett Enterprises doesn't sound like a management company.

Julia: I'm sorry for not being straight with you about this. Barrett Enterprises is my company. I inherited it from my father when he passed away.

Aidan: How big is this company?

Julia: About 10 billion in assets.

Aidan: (astounded by the number) You must think I'm a fool.

Julia: What? Why would you say that?

Aidan: Did you have a good laugh at my expense?

Julia: Aidan, I...

Aidan: The balloon ride must have been hysterical. You should have told me.

Julia: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to deceive you (Aidan looks at Julia. Julia didn't know what else to say. She didn't think that it mattered. Aidan walked out of the trailer without another word. Julia watched him go, sad.)

Setting: Luke's club

Brenda and Liz managed to get the word out to everyone. Luke was happy to see the small party forming. Emily and Nicholas made it back from their trip just in time. Brenda, Jax, Ned, Alexis, Liz, Luck, Emily, Nicholas, Felicia, Mac, Anna, AJ, Tess, Alan, Monica, and Aidan sat and talk while they waited for Luis and Robin.

Alan: So tell us about your trip.

Emily: Australia is so beautiful and breathtaking. We went camping in the outback saw some kangaroos, fed crocodiles, and went climbing in limestone caves.

Liz: Crocodiles?

Nicholas: We watched the men feed the crocs with this fishing pole. These crocs would jump out of the water to snatch the meat.

Alexis: Really? I don't know if I could watch that.

Emily: I was scared just getting on the boat.

Nicholas: (laughs) The tour guide had to do some heavy convincing for Emily to get on.

Emily: (hits Nicholas on the shoulder softly) Did not. We had some crocodile jerky.

Monica: Really. You got pretty adventurous.

Emily: It wasn't bad at all.

Lucky: You guys camped out in the outback? What was that like?

Emily: We didn't sleep at all the first night.

Nicholas: (laughing) Emily wouldn't sleep in her own sleeping back. She was afraid the snakes would crawl in at night (everyone laughs)

Emily: I wasn't the only one afraid. Nicholas kept waking me up every time he heard wolves howl (again everyone laughs)

Nicholas: They sounded close by.

Mac: Sound like you guys liked Australia.

Emily: I loved it. The ocean is so beautiful. I was too afraid to go snorkeling but just looking at the water was enough.

Robin: You're back!

Emily: Robin! (Excitedly Emily hugs Robin) We just got back. Hi Luis (Luis nods to Emily) Sit down (everyone made room for Luis and Robin.)

Robin: Hi Nicholas. Nice tan.

Nicholas: Thank you.

Brenda: Emily and Nicholas were telling us about their trip.

Emily: You were so right Robin. Australia is breathtaking.

Robin: Glad you guys liked it.

Nicholas: It was definitely one of my better vacations (Robin looks at Emily.)

Brenda: Where's Julia (quietly to Aidan)

Aidan: I don't know.

Brenda: I thought you were going to invite her.

Aidan: (abruptly) She was busy (Brenda looks at Aidan not understanding his attitude.)

Brenda: Well I'm going to call her (Aidan got up from the table as Brenda calls Julia.)

Jax: What's going on?

Brenda: I don't know. But Julia will be here in a few minutes.

Jax: Want another drink?

Brenda: Sure (Jax goes to the bar.)

Jax: Hi Luke.

Luke: What can I get you?

Jax: 2 beers. Are you going to come and join us?

Luke: In a bit.

Jax: Ok (heads back to the table just as Jason walks in the front door.)

Luke: Hey Jason.

Jason: Hi Luke (hands the books to Luke) they're up to date.

Luke: Thank you for doing this. I know you're busy.

Jason: I don't mind (Jason heard laughers and turn toward Robin's table)

Luke: It's a little party to get Robin's mind off the trial tomorrow.

Jason: (notices that Robin was sitting closely to Luis) Everyone seems to be here.

Luke: Just about. So how are thing with you?

Jason: Good. Busy with school and the new job.

Luke: What does it feel like working for Julia?

Jason: I don't know. I haven't seen much of her.

Luke: (spot Julia) Well here she is.

Julia: Hi.

Luke: Hi beautiful lady. Can I get something?

Julia: White wine. How are you doing Jason?

Jason: Fine.

Julia: If you have time in the next couple of days, I like for you to stop by the construction site.

Jason: Is anything wrong?

Julia: We ran into a few problems but it should be resolved in the next couple of days. I have to head out of town probably next week or so for about 2 weeks. You'll have to deal with the contractors and inspectors on your own. I would also like for you to meet the crew. They need to know who's in charge while I'm gone. If you're planning on working at the site a lot, we can either set you up with another trailer or we can share mine.

Jason: We can share. I don't have a lot of stuff.

Julia: Ok. I better go over there.

Jason: Bye Julia.

Luke: She sounds tough.

Jason: She is (Jason eyes wandered over to Robin's table. He wanted to speak to her but he didn't want to see anyone else. Jason was debating if he should leave or stay when he saw Liz and Robin approached him.)

Liz: Hi Jason

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Hi (Robin just smiles.)

Liz: I really have to go Robin. Why don't you stay here and talk to Jason? (Liz rushes off quickly.)

Robin: (shakes her head laughing) I think this was planned.

Jason: I'm not complaining. How are you?

Robin: I'm fine. You?

Jason: Busy. Are you nervous about tomorrow?

Robin: Yes, a little.

Jason: It'll be over soon.

Robin: I know. Will you be there tomorrow?

Jason: Yes (Robin nods) Robin, I wanted...

Luis: (interrupts) Robin?

Robin: (turns to Luis) Yes?

Luis: Is everything ok? (Jason looks annoyed with the interruption)

Robin: Yes. Jason and I were just talking.

Luis: I didn't mean to interrupt. Anna was wondering where you were.

Robin: Will you tell her I'll be there in a minute?

Luis: Of course (he heads back to the table)

Robin: Sorry. What were you going to ask me?

Jason: It was nothing.

Robin: Well I better head back.

Jason: Ok. I'll see you tomorrow.

Robin: Ok (Jason watches Robin walks back to the table. He hadn't seen her for a couple of weeks. He didn't realize how much he missed her until now.)

Liz: Did you talk to Robin?

Jason: Yes.

Liz: Well?

Jason: Well nothing.

Liz: What do you mean nothing?

Jason: I didn't get a chance.

Liz: Robin was happy to see you Jason. Didn't you notice?

Jason: I don't know.

Liz: (frustrated) Jason!

Jason: (snaps back to Liz) What?

Liz: Stop daydreaming about Robin and do something.

Jason: What do you propose I do?

Liz: I don't know. Tell her you love her that you can't live without her. What did you do get her to fall in love with you the first time?

Jason: Nothing.

Liz: Well you can't do that. You need to come up with a plan Jason.

Jason: A plan?

Liz: You need a game plan, steps to win Robin back. I'll help anyway I can. Now that Emily is back, I'm sure she'll want to help too.

Jason: I'll think about it.

Liz: Don't think too long. Luis is making his moves (not liking what he heard. Jason leaves. Liz was about to walk back to the table when someone stops her.)

Courtney: What do you think you're doing?

Liz: Excuse me?

Courtney: Why are pushing Jason to Robin?

Liz: Because he loves her.

Courtney: Are you sure of that?

Liz: Are you kidding me? Everyone in Port Charles is sure of the fact that Jason loves Robin. You just don't want to believe it.

Courtney: If he loves her so much, why does he need you to encourage him to go after her?

Liz: What business is that of yours?

Courtney: Jason is my friend.

Liz: Give it up Courtney. I know you want Jason.

Courtney: So you're going to do everything to keep him away from me?

Liz: I don't have to do anything. Jason is doing that on his own.

Courtney: Why don't you butt out of Jason's life?

Liz: Are you afraid I'll influence Jason against you?

Courtney: You're just jealous. Jason dumped you for me and you are still mad about that.

Liz: Jason didn't dump me for anyone let alone you. You aren't good enough for Jason.

Courtney: Who are you to say so?

Liz: Jason considers me his friend. I won't let you hurt him.

Courtney: I have never hurt Jason. Robin did.

Liz: You went after Jason while you were married to AJ, his brother.

Courtney: Jason doesn't consider AJ his brother.

Liz: That doesn't change the fact that they are.

Courtney: Just give me a chance to make Jason happy.

Liz: Look, it's not up to me. If Jason wanted to be with you, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to stop him from doing so. He obviously doesn't.

Courtney: (mad by Liz's statement) Just stay out of it.

Liz: Happy to. Looks like Jason knows what he's doing where you're concerned anyway (Liz walks away from Courtney.)

Back at the table, Aidan and Julia managed to sit next to each other. Neither one said anything. Brenda notices this.

Brenda: what's going on between you and Aidan?

Julia: Nothing.

Brenda: Then why haven't you said anything to him?

Julia: There's nothing to say.

Brenda: Julia.

Julia: Drop it Brenda.

Setting: Courthouse

The courthouse was packed with people. Robin was sitting with Mac and Anna. Sonny was sitting next to Mike and Bobbie behind Carly and Ric. The judge walks in.

Officer: All rise. The Honorable Judge Alan Beckels.

Judge: Be seated.

Officer: The people charges Carly Corinthos with attempted 1st degree murder.

Ric: Your honor, could we approach the bench? (Ric and Scott head toward the judge.) My client wishes to change her plea.

Judge: Isn't it a little late for this counselor?

Ric: The district attorney has only recently presented a new piece of evidence, your Honor.

Judge: And because of this evidence your client wants to change the plea?

Ric: Yes your Honor.

Judge: Mr. Baldwin?

Scott: I have no problem.

Judge: You may proceed Mr. Lansing (Scott and Ric head back to their seats.)

Scott: Your Honor we wish to change our plead to guilty (noise erupts in the courtroom.)

Judge: Quiet. Mrs. Corinthos, do you understand what you are pleading guilty to?

Carly: Yes your honor (more noises)

Judge: We will adjourn for an hour. At that time, I will impose sentencing. Dismiss.

Officer: All rise (the judge leaves)

Robin: Is this really over?

Anna: I think so darling.

Scott: Robin, could you stay for the sentencing?

Mac: Is that necessary?

Scott: I think so. I'm hoping Robin's presence will influence a stiffer sentence.

Robin: You don't think she will get off, do you?

Scott: Not for attempted first-degree murder.

Robin: I'll see you in a little bit then (Robin, Anna, Mac, and Aidan, followed by Luis walk out of the courtroom. Luis stops for a few second to look at Sonny. Sonny looks back a Luis, not saying anything.)

Bobbie: What was that about?

Sonny: I don't know.

Bobbie: I still can't believe a criminal like that could have so much power.

Sonny: What do you mean?

Bobbie: He was the one who arranged Michael's custody case to fall on the same day as Carly's trial.

Sonny: How do you know this?

Bobbie: He pretty much told me.

Sonny: Why didn't so say something?

Bobbie: I thought you already knew.

Sonny: Damn.

Carly: What happens now?

Ric: We wait for the judge to come back with the sentence.

Carly: What do you think?

Ric: I don't know.

Sonny: Jason

Jason: Yeah (they stepped to the side)

Sonny: Was Alcazar behind the videotape?

Jason: (puzzled) Videotape?

Sonny: Scott gave Ric a videotape showing Carly tailing Robin from the hospital to the crash site.

Jason: (angry) What?

Sonny: You didn't know?

Jason: That's why Carly pleaded guilty?

Sonny: Yes (Jason walked abruptly to Carly)

Jason: I want to talk to you now.

Carly: Not now.

Jason: Now (Jason pulled Carly out of the courtroom. Sonny just watch.)

Carly: Jason let go. You're hurting me (Jason pulled Carly into a room. He closed the door and lets her go.)

Jason: Tell me the truth Carly.

Carly: About what?

Jason: (trying to hold on to his anger) Don't play games with me. Did you try to kill Robin?

Carly: Jason, let me explain.

Jason: (raises his voice) No. Answer my question.

Carly: Jason, please.

Jason: (louder) Answer me!

Carly: (jumps) Yes!

Jason: How could you? I asked you to stay away from Robin. Was that too much to ask? After everything I've done for you.

Carly: I was scared.

Jason: So you tried to kill Robin? Will you stop at nothing?

Carly: She was turning you and Sonny against me.

Jason: (puts up his hands) Enough! I'm tired of your excuses. This is the last time that I live with your lies and deceits.

Carly: (scared by Jason's tone) Jason what are you saying?

Jason: You are dead to me.

Carly: (rushes to Jason and puts her hands on Jason's chest) Don't say that Jason.

Jason: (steps back from Carly) Stay away from Robin or you won't like what will happen.

Carly: Jason, please. I've already explained.

Jason: I don't want to hear anymore (he walks out. Carly broke down and cries.)

Sonny: (walks in the room to see Carly crying) What happened?

Carly: Jason...he doesn't want anything to do with me (wipes her tears.)

Sonny: I was afraid of this.

Carly: I can't believe he would turn his back on me. Not after everything we went through.

Sonny: You still don't get do you? Jason loves Robin. It looks like he's willing to do anything to have her back in his life.

Carly: Can't you talk to him?

Sonny: What do you want me to say? I don't agree with what you did either Carly. You're going to have to learn that there consequences for your actions. I can't make them go away.

Carly: What am I going to do?

Sonny: It's best that you don't make the situation worst. Just stay away from Jason until he cools off.

Setting: The courtroom, an hour later

Everyone gathered back in the courtroom for the sentencing. Carly was nervous. Jason was sitting in the back of the room by himself. He was still very angry about the fact that Carly tried to kill Robin. He doesn't know how to approach Robin with this. Robin on the other hand has been rather quiet. She didn't say very much to anyone. The judge enters.

Officer: All rise. The Honorable Judge Alan Beckel.

Judge: Be seated. Before I hand out the sentence, is there anything you want to say Mrs. Corinthos?

Carly: (stands up) Yes, I do. I wanted to apologize to Ms. Scorpio for the pain that I inflicted on her. In my moment of emotional distress, I did an irrational and irresponsible thing. I truly did not meant any harm to Ms. Scorpio. I hope that she can find it in her heart to forgive my actions (Robin was shocked to hear Carly's statement. Robin looked back at Jason, who nods at her.)

Judge: This was an unusual case to say the least. In any case, Mrs. Corinthos, this is the second time that you have tried to take a human life. I don't know how you value life but this court and its justice system see life as a precious commodity that is not to be taken lightly. I therefore sentence you to twenty-five years in prison (loud noise broke out in the courtroom) you may be eligible for parole after fifteen years (Carly was crying hysterically. Sonny was holding on to Bobbie.) This sentence is to be carried out immediately. Bailiff, take Mrs. Corinthos away.

Robin: (standing up) Your Honor, may I speak? (The courtroom quiets down)

Judge: Ms. Scorpio, this is very unusual for you to address the courtroom.

Robin: As this involves my life, I believe I have the right to speak.

Judge: Go ahead Ms. Scorpio.

Robin: Life as you say is precious. I don't know how many years I have left of my life. But what I do know is there's a little boy who has his whole life ahead of him. He already lost his mother for the first year of his life. I don't want to see him live without his mother during his growing years. I'm asking you as a person who accept death is in her future to please show compassion for Carly and her life. There's a little boy who loves his mother more than anything and I don't want to be the reason that he loses his mother.

Judge: Ms. Scorpio, this isn't in any way your fault or your doing. Mrs. Corinthos committed a crime. The court will be doing an injustice to the people of America if she is not punished.

Robin: I'm asking you for a sentence where Carly can still have a life with Michael.

Judge: (he looks at Robin. Robin looks composed and decisive with her statements.) I will take what you've said into consideration Ms. Scorpio. Court is adjourned until 9:00am tomorrow. At that time I will pass my sentence. Counselors in my chamber (the judge leaves. The courtroom was still in shock by Robin's statement. Carly looks questionably at Sonny.)

Robin: I'm sorry Scott.

Scott: You did what you thought was the right thing to do.

Robin: Thank you for understanding (Robin turns to Anna) Mom, I... (Robin passed out before she finished her sentence. Mac and Anna caught Robin just in time. Everyone rushed over to Robin.)

Anna: (touching Robin lightly on the face) Robin, darling?

Mac: (by Anna's hand) Aidan, call 911 (Jason rushes toward Mac and Anna)

Jason: Robin (he reached for her hand) Robin, it's Jason. Can you hear me? (Nothing from Robin)

Mac: Where's that ambulance?

Aidan: They're on the way.

Jason: Mac, could you help me? (Mac helped Jason carried Robin to a table. Mac slipped a jacket under Robin's head. Jason took off his jacket to cover Robin. Jason reaches for Robin's pulse.) Her pulse is weak.

Anna: (worried) Jason, is she going to be alright?

Jason: I don't know. We need to get her to the hospital.

Mac: I have the SUV parked outside. I can't wait for the ambulance (Jason nods and carefully lifts Robin into his arms. Anna adjust Jason's jacket around Robin. They head out of the courtroom.)

Luis: (stops in front of Carly and Sonny) If anything happens to Robin, you are dead (he leaves)

Sonny: (looks at Carly questionably) Do you know what happened?

Carly: (confused) Of course I don't.

Sonny: Now is not the time to lie to me.

Carly: I swear I don't know.

Sonny: Robin made that statement on her own?

Carly: I was just as surprise as you.

Sonny: Wait for me at the penthouse.

Carly: Where are you going?

Sonny: I'm going to see Robin (he leaves. Carly was mad that everyone left.)

Bobbie: Let him go to her. She's important to him.

Carly: What about me? I'm his wife.

Bobbie: Grow up Carly! Robin saved your life today. You are in debt to her.

Carly: What?

Bobbie: You tried to kill Robin and she tried to save your life Carly. Does that even mean anything to you?

Carly: It's her fault that I'm in this mess.

Bobbie: (not believing what she's hearing) Are you hearing yourself? You are acting like a spoiled child. Robin didn't do anything to you. You did it to yourself. You let your insecurities rule your life. I'm really disappointed in you (Bobbie walks away, leaving Carly standing by herself in the courtroom.)

Setting: GH

Robin was admitted as soon as she got in. She was still passed out during the ride over. Alan immediately took over examining Robin. Everyone waited in the waiting room. Jason was pacing outside the halls.

Sonny: Jason. What's the status on Robin?

Jason: Alan is still examining her.

Sonny: Did she regain consciousness on the way over?

Jason: No.

Sonny: Did you know that Robin was going to make that statement?

Jason: No.

Sonny: I don't understand. Why did she do it?

Jason: I don't know and I don't care right now.

Sonny: I'm sorry. Is there anything I can get you?

Jason: No (they lapsed into silence)

Inside the waiting room...

Mac: What is taking so long?

Anna: I don't know.

Mac: I should have known this case was too much for her.

Anna: Robin wanted to be there. Don't blame yourself.

Brenda: Anna's right Mac.

Mac: Why did Robin make that statement? She pretty much cleared the slate for Carly.

Anna: I wished I knew. But I'm sure Robin had her reasons (Alan walks in with Sonny and Jason behind him) Alan. How's Robin?

Alan: She's sleeping right now. Robin was a little dehydrated and anemic. Her blood pressure was too high and her blood sugar was low. We have her on an IV. Do you know if Robin had anything to eat recently?

Anna: No I don't. She's been rather quiet all day.

Jason: Is there any long-term repercussion?

Alan: No, I don't think so but we need to keep Robin's stress level down. Her body can't handle the drug cocktail and the stress. I like to keep her here for a few days.

Anna: Can we see her?

Alan: Yes but mind what I said.

Mac: Thank you Alan (Mac and Anna follows Alan to Robin's room. Robin was resting on the bed. Mac was anguished seeing Robin. He goes to her.) How much can one person take?

Anna: (goes to stand next to Mac) I wished I knew. I'm in awe of her everyday.

Mac: I don't know what I would do if anything ever happens to her.

Anna: I know (Robin stirs. She opens her eyes slowly.) Hi Darling.

Robin: Hi (Robin sits up a little) what happened?

Anna: You fainted darling. Do you remember if you ate anything today?

Robin: I don't remember. I guess I was worried about the trial.

Mac: Why didn't you say had worries?

Robin: Both of you have been working overtime to solve this case. I didn't want to add to it.

Mac: Robin, you are the most important thing to us. There's nothing you can't tell us.

Robin: I didn't want to be a burden.

Anna: You are never a burden. You are my life. There's nothing Mac or I wouldn't do for you.

Mac: Robin, we are a family. We support each other during the bad and the good times.

Robin: Okay.

Mac: Good. Can I get you anything to eat?

Robin: Cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake?

Mac: (smiles) I should have known. I'll be back in a little bit.

Anna: Honey, are you sure you're ok?

Robin: Yes. I guess I just forgot to eat something.

Anna: Alan wants to keep your here for a couple of days. He's worried about your blood sugar level (Robin made a face which caused Anna to smile)

Robin: You have questions, don't you?

Anna: I like to know your reasons.

Robin: I just couldn't bear the thought of Michael being separated from Carly. I don't really know if she's a good mother or not but Michael sees her as his mother.

Anna: How much of this has to do with you and you losing your dad and me?

Robin: I couldn't do anything then. But I can help Michael now. Besides this thing with Carly needs to end. I can't keep doing this with Carly. Too many people get hurt.

Anna: Do you think Carly will see it the same way?

Robin: I hope so.

Anna: Alright then. Brenda, Jax and Luis are waiting to see you. Do you want to see them?

Robin: Yes. Will you ask them to come in?

Anna: Of course (Anna gives Robin a kiss on the forehead. A few minutes later Brenda and Jax walked in.)

Brenda: Luis had to leave. He'll be back in an hour (Brenda goes to hug Robin) Don't scare me like that again.

Robin: I'm sorry.

Jax: Is there anything we can get you?

Robin: (smiles) Uncle Mac already went to get me some food.

Brenda: And you better eat all of it!

Robin: Yes ma'am.

Jax: I'm glad you're feeling better.

Brenda: You want me to bring anything for you?

Robin: My robe? Alan wants me here for a couple of days. I don't know if I can handle it.

Brenda: Well you are. I'll make sure everyone comes by to keep you occupied.

Robin: Ok.

Jax: I'm sorry I have to head out to a meeting.

Robin: It's ok. I'm getting sleepy anyway.

Brenda: Ok sweetie. We'll be back tonight with some real food.

Robin: Deal. Bye (she watches them leave. Robin was about to fall back to sleep when Jason walked in. Robin smiles at Jason until she saw Sonny behind him.) What are you doing here?

Sonny: I wanted to see how you were.

Robin: As you see, I'm fine.

Jason: (approaches Robin's bed) Are you really fine? (He asked gently)

Robin: (smiles) Yes. Alan will release in a couple of days.

Jason: Don't scare me like that.

Robin: I'm sorry you were worried. I guess I forgot to eat and it caught up with me.

Jason: Alan said your blood pressure was high. He said you are under too much stress.

Robin: The trial is over so I don't have anything to stress about anymore.

Sonny: (approaches Robin slowly) Robin, why did you make that statement?

Robin: Contrary to what you and Carly believe, I want Michael to be happy. I have never tried to replace Carly in Michael's life. I know she's his mother, good or bad. I didn't know whom my parents were when I was growing up and I don't want Michael to have to grow up like that. I don't like Carly and I don't trust her but I don't have a vendetta against her. I just want to live my life in peace.

Sonny: I don't know what to say.

Robin: Say that you and Carly will stay away from my family and me. My family has been through too much. We shouldn't have to keep looking over our shoulders.

Sonny: (torn by Robin's words) Sweetheart, I...

Robin: Please don't call me that. If anything, this trial has opened my eyes. I loved you both with all my heart and soul. You both had me up on some unrealistic pedestal. When I did something that disappointed you, you had no problem discarding me from your lives. I can't live like that. I make mistakes like everyone else but for some reason you don't think I'm allowed to make mistakes. I need to be with people who accept me for who I am. And I'm a person who can't stand by and watch the people I love get hurt. I would want to protect them. If that's wrong so be it. Jason, that is why I told AJ about Michael. I couldn't stand watching Carly play with your feelings for Michael. Sonny, you felt I betrayed you because I betrayed Jason. That's fine. I accept that now. But I can't accept the fact that you knew that Carly tried to kill me and you did nothing. In fact you tried to hide it. This proves to me that what we had is dead. I am nothing but another person who walks next to you on the street.

Sonny: Robin, please don't say that.

Robin: It's the truth. I had just gotten my family and my friends back and Carly was just going to take it away like that. You didn't do anything (trying to hold back her tears) I might as well be dead in your eyes.

Sonny: Robin, you must know that I would never want anything to happen to you. Seeing you hurt causes me pain. But Carly is my wife.

Robin: Then you have your answer. Carly is your wife (Sonny looks at Robin. She was firm and strong. And she was serious. Sonny was no longer a part of her life. Sonny looks at Robin one last time and then walked out. As soon as the door closed, tears rushed down Robin's face. Heartbroken, Jason gathers Robin into his arms.) I love him Jason.

Jason: (stroking Robin's hair) I know you do (Jason continues to hold Robin) I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of this (Robin looks up at Jason and sees that his eyes were also filled with tears) I promise you that I will never let anything hurt you again. I will die first.

Robin: (holds Jason tighter) Please don't say that. I don't know what I would do if I lost you too.

Jason: You won't lose me. I am and will always be yours (Jason can feel Robin's body was calming down) why don't you try to get some sleep?

Robin: Will you stay with me?

Jason: I'm not going anywhere (Jason tugs Robin back into bed. He watches as Robin closed her eyes. Jason stayed with Robin until she was breathing steadily. Jason was about to leave when Mac walked in.)

Mac: How is she?

Jason: Sleeping.

Mac: I brought her some food (Mac placed the bad on the nightstand) do you know why Robin made the statement?

Jason: She didn't want Michael to grow up without a mother and she wanted things to end with Carly.

Mac: I don't think that's possible.

Jason: Carly won't hurt Robin again (Mac looks Jason and sees that Jason was serious.)

Mac: I'll hold you to that.

An hour or so later Luis walked into Robin's room carrying some flowers. He sees Jason sitting in the chair by Robin's bed.

Luis: I like to be alone with Robin (Jason just looks at Luis and leaves. Luis sits down at the empty chair. After a few minutes, Robin stirs) Hello beautiful.

Robin: Hi. How long have you been sitting there?

Luis: I just got here. How are you feeling?

Robin: Better.

Luis: Hungry?

Robin: Uncle Mac brought me a cheeseburger earlier.

Luis: I was really proud of you today. It took a lot of courage to do what you did. I hope Carly appreciates it.

Robin: I don't think she will. But I didn't do it for her. I did it for Michael.

Luis: Jason was here.

Robin: He came with Sonny.

Luis: Sonny was here?

Robin: Yes.

Luis: (notices that Robin was a little sad) What happened?

Robin: I think I've finally accepted that Sonny and I will never be what we used to be to each other.

Luis: I know he was important to you. Are you ok with Sonny being out of your life?

Robin: He's married to Carly and I can't accept the fact that he tried to cover for her. Not this time.

Luis: Can I get you anything?

Robin: No. Thank for the flowers. They're beautiful.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny walked into the penthouse still upset from his conversation with Robin. He didn't expect Robin's strong reaction. Sonny was hoping to explain to Robin his position with Carly. Robin had to understand that he had to stand by Carly. Carly was his wife after all. His family. But then again he had considered Robin his family. Sonny pours himself a drink.

Carly: Sonny?

Sonny: Yeah (finishes his drink and pours another)

Carly: Are you alright?

Sonny: Why shouldn't I be?

Carly: How's Robin?

Sonny: (turns to Carly) Why do you care?

Carly: I'm not allowed to ask?

Sonny: You know what? It'll be better if you just pretend that Robin is dead.

Carly: I can only dream.

Sonny: (gives Carly a dirty look) You really have no remorse do you? You could careless if Robin dies.

Carly: Why should I care about her? She ruined my life.

Sonny: How? I saw a strong woman defending you in a courtroom full of people who knew you were guilty. Robin was trying to protect Michael, your child. Did Michael even cross your mind during all of this?

Carly: I don't need her to protect my child. If she wants a child to protect, she needs to find another child. It's not my fault that she can't have children.

Sonny: (disgusted with Carly) Robin did have a baby.

Carly: What did you say?

Sonny: Robin had a baby when she was in Paris.

Carly: That's a lie.

Sonny: I don't need to lie to you. Caitlin died when she was 2 months old.

Carly: How is that possible? Robin has HIV. She can't get pregnant.

Sonny: No one said she couldn't get pregnant. She chose not to get pregnant because she didn't want to endanger Jason's life.

Carly: Oh my god! Robin had a baby? It was Jason's?

Sonny: Yes.

Carly: What did Jason say about this?

Sonny: What did you expect him to say? He was too busy playing games with you.

Carly: I resent that.

Sonny: It's the truth.

Carly: Is this why Jason turned against me?

Sonny: Jason turned against you because he was tired of your lies and games. You tried to kill the woman he loves. What did you expect him to do? Wake up Carly! Jason does not love you. He loves Robin.

Carly: I know he doesn't love me.

Sonny: Do you really? Jason has never loved you. He loved Michael and he wanted to protect Michael. That's why he let Robin go. It wasn't because of you.

Carly: Why are you trying to hurt me?

Sonny: I'm trying to make you understand. You need to let this vendetta with Robin go. Robin is not the reason for the mess in your life. Robin didn't take Jason away from you. He was never yours.

Carly: I understand Sonny. You don't have to be cruel.

Sonny: I hope you do. Because today I lost something that is as precious to me as my life. I have stood by you because you are my wife. But I don't know how much more I can take (Sonny leaves Carly to walk up the stairs. Carly was left with Sonny's words. She didn't want to lose Sonny. She had already lost Jason.)

Setting: GH, Robin's room

Jason waited for Alcazar to leave. He walks back into Robin's room. Jason walks quietly over to Robin's bed. Jason gently moves the hair away Robin from her face. Robin awakens.

Jason: (smiles tenderly at Robin) Hi.

Robin: What are you still doing here?

Jason: You don't want me to stay?

Robin: I know you're busy with school and work.

Jason: They're not important.

Robin: Yes they are. I'm fine Jason.

Jason: I guess I don't like you being in here.

Robin: (understood what Jason meant) I'm perfectly healthy. My viral load is non-detectable. I'll be around for awhile.

Jason: It scared me today to hear that you say you see death in your future.

Robin: (takes Jason's hand in hers) I have to accept death to fight for my future. I'm sorry that scares you.

Jason: I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see you again. For the last 4 years, I've denied the fact that I love you. I held on to my anger to live without you. But I can't do that anymore (Jason squeezed Robin's hand in his) I'm so sorry for everything I put you through. I'm sorry for bringing Carly into our lives. I'm desperately sorry for letting you go.

Robin: (Robin places her hands on Jason's face and tenderly caress it) Don't apologize anymore Jason. You are part of the reason I'm alive today. I wouldn't have gone on the protocol if you weren't with me on the bridge that night. You give me so much strength even when you weren't with me.

Jason: (Jason gathers Robin into his arms. He was overwhelmed with emotions) I love you Robin. I love you for all my life (Robin let Jason hold her. It felt wonderful to be in his arms again. Robin stayed in Jason's arms until the emotions subside.)

Setting: Robin's room at GH, next day

Robin: (sitting up on her bed) I'm waiting for details.

Emily: Oh Robin there's nothing to tell.

Robin: Indulge me.

Emily: Nicholas and I are a lot closer. We didn't sleep with each other.

Robin: There's no rush for that. Does this mean that you guys are exclusive?

Emily: (a little giddy) Yes.

Robin: I'm happy for you Emily. I know how much you care for Nicholas.

Emily: I'm glad I waited for him. We have a lot in common. What about you?

Robin: Not much to tell. I've been busy with the hospital and Deception. The trial was on my mind.

Emily: That's over now. Carly is out of your life.

Robin: Something tells me that is not quite the case.

Emily: From what Liz tells me, Carly and Jason are strain with each other.

Robin: I wouldn't know. I don't talk to Jason about Carly.

Emily: So you talk to Jason. How often do you talk to Jason?

Robin: He was here last night.

Emily: Really (trying to hide her laughter) I didn't know GH allowed overnight guest.

Robin: He didn't spend the night. He stayed until I fell asleep.

Emily: So what did you guys talk about?

Robin: The trial, Sonny, that he loves me (trying to sound light)

Emily: What! Robin why didn't you say anything sooner? This is great!

Robin: It's not Emily.

Emily: What do you mean? I thought this is what you want.

Robin: (shakes her head) I didn't come back to Port Charles hoping Jason will fall in love with me again. I came back to find my friends, my family, my life, and me. Finding out that Jason loves me wasn't something that I planned on.

Emily: But he does. What are you going to do about it?

Robin: I'm with Luis. He makes me happy. I haven't been fair to him.

Emily: But you can't love Luis like you love Jason.

Robin: Do I love Jason?

Emily: You don't?

Robin: I wish I knew. My feelings are so mixed up right now. I can't hurt Luis and I don't want to hurt Jason.

Emily: I don't understand Robin. Jason loves you. What is holding you back?

Robin: Fear, rejection, disappointment, pick any.

Emily: You still don't trust Jason do you?

Robin: I guess not. I'm sorry Emily. I know Jason is your brother and I shouldn't be telling you this.

Emily: No. I know what Jason did was wrong. I won't defend him. I had hoped that if you still love each other then everything would workout.

Robin: Sometimes love isn't enough.

Setting: Courtroom

Everyone has arrived for the sentencing. Sonny was sitting with Bobbie behind Carly. On the other side, Mac, Anna, Aidan, Luis, Brenda, and Jax sat behind Scott. Aidan every now and then glares at Sonny. Jason was sitting in back by himself.

Officer: All rise. The Honorable Judge Alan Beckel.

Judge: Be seated. In light of Ms. Scorpio statement yesterday (the judge looks out and didn't see Robin) Mr. Baldwin, where is Ms. Scorpio?

Scott: (stands up) Ms. Scorpio collapsed yesterday after trial. She is presently at General Hospital.

Judge: (nods his head) As I told Ms. Scorpio yesterday, the crime that was committed against Ms. Scorpio cannot be overlooked. A crime is a crime. But a crime where taking of a life is involved is the worst most hideous injustice. I would be doing a dishonor to this court and the oath I've taken to protect the laws of this land if I passed a sentence that was not befit of the crime. Therefore, the defendant is sentenced to 20 years of parole. She will undergo psychiatric evaluation. If it is deem that she is a threat to society or herself, she will be taken into custody for care. The defendant will also serve community service for 8 hours a day for the next 10 years. She is not allowed to leave the state or the country without permission of this court. The district attorney office will retain Mrs. Corinthos' passport. Mrs. Corinthos, this court has shown you mercy for your crime. But don't make the mistake that I passed this sentence lightly. If you so much as get speeding ticket or harass Ms. Scorpio you will be taken into custody where you will the serve the rest of sentence in jail. Court is dismissed.

Anna, Aidan, and Mac look over at Carly who is hugging Bobbie and Sonny. They're not happy with the sentence but it was what Robin wanted. Walking by Carly, Mac stops.

Mac: Robin gave you back your life. Be a deceit human being and leave Robin alone.

Sonny: (steps forward) Carly will stay away from Robin.

Bobbie: How is Robin doing?

Anna: Don't insult us with your question. You and your daughter tried to kill Robin. I'll never forget that.

Bobbie: Please Anna. We need to let this go.

Anna: You forget. I'm not as generous as Robin. Don't go walking at night alone (disgusted with the sight in front of her, Anna, Aidan, and Mac leave the courtroom)

Carly: She can say whatever she wants. I'm a free person.

Scott: (hearing the statement) Not exactly. Your parole officer is waiting for you in his office.

Bobbie: Can't it wait until tomorrow?

Scott: There's a free jail cell waiting.

Carly: You're such a bastard.

Scott: No, can't say that I am. Can you?

Sonny: Enough! Carly will be there in an hour.

Scott: Now (Sonny and Scott stare at each other)

Sonny: Fine (Scott leaves)

Carly: I don't want to do this now.

Sonny: (almost shouting at Carly) Just do it Carly (Carly just looks at Sonny. As they were walking out, they passed by Jason. He gives Carly a cold ice look. Carly looks away.)

Setting: Robin's room

Anna: (walking in with Mac) Hello darling.

Robin: Hi.

Mac: How are you doing?

Robin: Fine but bored.

Anna: Has Alan been by to see you?

Robin: Yes. He's said my blood pressure and sugar level are back to normal.

Mac: That's good news.

Robin: So how did it go?

Mac: The judge gave Carly 20 years parole. She has to do community service, can't leave the state or country, and she needs to have a psych review.

Robin: I bet she loved that.

Anna: She should be on knees thanking you for not going to jail.

Robin: I don't need anything from Carly. I'm glad this is over. Now, we can get on with our lives.

Anna: Can you do that?

Robin: Yes. I'm not going to let Carly ruin my life again.

Mac: We're really proud of you Robin. It took a lot of courage to do what you did yesterday. I'm glad to have you as my niece.

Robin: (a little teary) You are the best Uncle anyone could ever ask for (Mac goes to hug Robin.)

Mac: Well this uncle needs to get back to work. Can I get you anything before I leave?

Robin: No, I'm fine.

Anna: I have to go also. We'll stop by after work.

Robin: Ok

Anna: (goes to hug) I love you darling. Call if you need anything.

Robin: I will (she watches Anna and Mac leave)

Setting: Kelly's

Brenda, Jax, and Aidan went to Kelly's after the trial. All 3 are somewhat mad that Carly got off so easily.

Brenda: We really can't be mad about this. This is what Robin wanted.

Aidan: Did you see her? She wasn't even grateful.

Jax: Don't expect too much from Carly. She is too self-absorbed and selfish.

Liz: (came over to the table) I guess it didn't go well.

Aidan: You could say that.

Liz: (takes a seat) What happened?

Brenda: Carly doesn't have to do any jail time.

Liz: I don't believe it.

Aidan: Believe it.

Liz: She was free to go?

Jax: She's on parole and she does have to serve community service.

Brenda: I hope she has to sweep the streets.

Aidan: Still wouldn't be enough.

Brenda: I know how angry you are about this. But think of Robin. She wouldn't be able to live with herself knowing that Michael was growing up without a mother.

Aidan: He doesn't need a mother like Carly.

Brenda: I agree with you there.

Liz: How's Robin doing? I haven't been able to go visit her.

Brenda: She's better. I'm sure she's bored to death.

Liz: I'll be sure to visit her after class today. Can I get you guys anything?

Jax: Coffee.

Brenda: Same.

Aidan: Me too.

Liz: I'll be right back.

Brenda: So you want to tell me what's going on between you and Julia?

Aidan: No.

Jax: (puzzled) Julia?

Brenda: Aidan has a thing for Julia.

Aidan: No I don't.

Brenda: Well you did. What happened?

Aidan: Nothing.

Brenda: Why the hell aren't you 2 speaking to each other?

Jax: Brenda, maybe we should stay out of it.

Brenda: No way. I want to know.

Aidan: How well off is Julia?

Brenda: I don't know exactly. But Fortune did rate her as Top 5 under 35 (Aidan grunts and shifts uncomfortably) is that what this is about? Does Julia intimidate you?

Aidan: No.

Brenda: Then what is it?

Jax: Julia worked very hard for what she has. The company is her life.

Aidan: I don't have an issue with that.

Brenda: Then what?

Aidan: She didn't tell me any of this. I had to find out from you and the construction workers at the site.

Brenda: Look Aidan, Julia is a little weary of men. They either think she's beautiful and dumb or rich and cold. She hasn't had many relationships.

Aidan: I'm not like any other guy.

Brenda: Well you're behaving like all the other.

Aidan: I resent being duped.

Brenda: Julia didn't do it on purpose. She must really like you to hide who she is.

Jax: Have you asked Julia why?

Aidan: I was too angry.

Jax: At least give her a chance to explain.

Aidan: I'll think about it.

Setting: Robin's room

Robin was reading a book when Jason walked in carrying a bag. Robin smiles when she saw Jason.

Robin: What are you doing here?

Jason: (holding a bag up) Dinner.

Robin: You didn't have to bring me dinner.

Jason: Hospital food sucks.

Robin: (laughs) Yes it does. What did you bring?

Jason: Chicken marsala over linguini.

Robin: Sounds yummy (Jason spreads the food out for Robin) you really didn't have to come by today. I know you have school and your job.

Jason: I had time.

Robin: How is your job?

Jason: It's great. The site is almost all cleared. I met some of the workers and contractors today.

Robin: Are you nervous? (She takes a bite of the food)

Jason: A little.

Robin: This is delicious. Here have some.

Jason: You're sharing?

Robin: Hurry before I change my mind (Robin scoops up linguini for Jason and feeds it to him. Jason takes a bite as if it's the most natural thing to do.)

Jason: It is good.

Robin: Want to share with me?

Jason: No you eat. I'll get some later.

Robin: Why are you nervous?

Jason: Julia is depending on me to build this building. I don't know if the design is good enough.

Robin: What did the other architects at the firm think?

Jason: They thought it was well designed and progressive.

Robin: There you go. You have nothing to be nervous about. When did you become such worried wart?

Jason: (puzzled) A what?

Robin: A worried wart, someone who worries needlessly.

Jason: I didn't think I was.

Robin: (laughs) You are so funny.

Jason: Why?

Robin: You worry and yet you don't even realize it.

Jason: (looks down at Robin's plate. It was empty. He was glad to see her eating again.) I brought dessert.

Robin: (her eyes light up) You did? Chocolate cake? (Jason nods) Oh Jason I had the worst craving (Jason gives Robin the cake.)

Jason: Enjoy it.

Robin: Want a bite? (Robin scoops a piece and holds it out for Jason. Jason takes a bite without taking his eyes off of Robin.)

Jason: (smiles) It's good.

Robin: (takes a bite) You must have been reading my mind (Robin scoops another piece and holds it out for Jason. Again Jason takes another bite. Jason could feel the butterflies in his stomach with every bite. Jason didn't know if Robin realized what she was doing. But he didn't know how long he could continue to let Robin feed him. What he really wanted to do was take her into his arms and kiss the chocolate off of her lips.)

Jason: Why don't you finish?

Robin: You sure? (Jason nods. Robin went back to eat the cake in silence. Jason watched Robin finish the cake. Jason took the time to get his emotions under control.) I can't wait to get out of here tomorrow.

Jason: So soon?

Robin: Jason I'm going stir-crazy being in here. Besides, I'm fine. I'm sure there's someone else who needs this hospital bed more than me.

Jason: When are you going back to work?

Robin: Right away.

Jason: Are you sure that's a good idea? You fainted yesterday Robin.

Robin: (smiles at Jason's concern) I'm fine. I need to get back to work. The hospital is short staff as it is.

Jason: Let Alan worry about that.

Robin: I want to go back to work. I miss it.

Jason: (frustrated) I don't understand why you have to push yourself so hard.

Robin: (hears the worries in Jason's voice) I'm not pushing myself. I don't really see it as work.

Jason: What about the extra work you're doing to keep the AIDS wing open?

Robin: That's something I have to do.

Jason: But why?

Robin: It's important to me.

Jason: More important than your health?

Robin: I don't want to fight with you about this Jason.

Jason: Don't you care that you fainted Robin? Do you know what it did to me to see you collapsed?

Robin: (gets out of bed and walks to Jason. Robin takes Jason's hands in hers) The AIDS wing is my only connection left to Stone. The research that is being done there is important to a lot of people and my future. I need to do everything I can to keep it open. I promise I'll take better care of myself. I'm sorry that seeing me collapsed caused you pain because that's the last thing that I want.

Jason: I didn't mean to get angry. I just didn't want you to take any unnecessary risks.

Robin: Breathing is a risk for me but I have to do it. Please don't worry about me.

Jason: (with tears in his eyes) I can't help it. I just found you again and I don't want to lose you.

Robin: (wraps her arms around Jason's neck and hugs him tightly) Oh Jason (Jason held Robin in his arms while tears roll down his eyes. Jason couldn't understand how Robin could have such an affect on him. After all this time, she was the only one who could bring tears to his eyes.)

The days following the trial were strained for Carly and Sonny. Carly has been whining about the community service that she has to do and Sonny is frustrated with her whining. The organization has been suffering because of Sonny's lack of attention. Benny has informed Sonny that there is threat of other wanting to overtake Sonny's territories. Sonny doesn't seem to care too much. Robin is back working at GH. As predicted by Monica, Robin is working twice as many hours. If Robin is not in surgery or with patients, she's busy with charts. She hasn't seen much of Luis or Jason. Jason has been most of his time at the construction site. He and Julia seem to work well together. Both are determined and focused on the building. Jason hasn't been by to see Robin. After the last couple of meetings, he didn't know how much control he had left. Having Robin in his arms was both torturous and wonderful. He didn't want to let her go but he also didn't want to scare Robin off. He wanted Robin to fall in love with him again at her pace. He wasn't going anywhere.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Benny: We need to make a move Sonny. These guys think the territory is open for the taking.

Sonny: I know.

Benny: Do you want me to take care of it? (Sonny nods) What's going on Sonny?

Sonny: What do you mean?

Benny: You haven't been the same since Carly's trial.

Sonny: I have a lot on my mind.

Benny: I'm here to help. What can I do?

Sonny: Just take care of our territories.

Benny: Ok. I'll keep you up to date (Benny looks again at Sonny and leaves. Sonny stays on the couch and looks out at nothing. The penthouse was deathly quiet. Sonny gets up walk over to the window. His thoughts drift to Robin. Robin's words drift around his head. What happened to them? How did he let this go this far? Having her back in town and yet not having her here was something Sonny was finding difficult to accept. Robin was the only person in his life who accepted him, stood by him, and cried with him. He remembers how Robin helped him put his life together after Lily died. He missed Robin and to hear her say that she is dead to him was painful.

Carly: Sonny? (No answer. Carly touches Sonny lightly on the shoulder) Sonny.

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: What are you doing?

Sonny: Thinking.

Carly: About what?

Sonny: Life.

Carly: Sonny, you're scaring me. Did something happen?

Sonny: What are you doing home?

Carly: I have my psychiatric evaluation today so they let me leave early (Sonny continues to look out of the window) Can I get you anything?

Sonny: No. Shouldn't you get going?

Carly: I have some time. Do you want to talk about it?

Sonny: What's there to talk about? There's nothing I can do.

Carly: About what?

Sonny: (goes to table and pours himself a drink) Nothing.

Carly: Sonny, I'm your wife. Why can't you talk to me?

Sonny: (takes a gulp) Yes you're my wife.

Carly: Why do you say it like that?

Sonny: It's a fact.

Carly: (confused by Sonny's demeanor) Please Sonny, talk to me.

Sonny: (finishes his drink) I don't want to talk about it. I have work to do (he walks out of the penthouse. Carly was left standing alone and hurt that Sonny walked out.)

Setting: Construction site

Aidan approached the trailer tentatively. It's been a couple of weeks since he seen Julia. Aidan had hoped that Julia would call him or something. When he realized that she wouldn't, Aidan had to wondered if he had any rights to be angry. She didn't technically lie to him. She did tell him the truth when he asked. Aidan opened the trailer door. He didn't see Julia but he saw Jason sitting at a table.

Aidan: What are you doing here? (Jason looks up from his work, sees that it was Aidan, and ignored him.) I asked you a question stone head.

Jason: (irritated) It doesn't take too much to see that I'm working.

Aidan: Why here?

Jason: Because this is where I work.

Aidan: You for Julia?

Jason: You're quick.

Aidan: Why the hell would she hire you? Besides don't you already have a job as a sidekick for that spineless Corinthos?

Jason: Was there something that you wanted?

Aidan: Where's Julia?

Jason: Out of town.

Aidan: Where?

Jason: Hong Kong, Singapore, Brussels, Paris, and London.

Aidan: When is she coming back?

Jason: Why am I going to answer you?

Aidan: I promised Robin that I wouldn't deck you because of her. But she never said I couldn't deck you period.

Jason: Whatever (goes back to his work. Not getting any answers from Jason, Aidan leaves.)

Setting: GH's break room

Brenda: There you are.

Robin: Hey.

Brenda: Are you hiding out in here?

Robin: My legs are a little tired from surgery and rounds.

Brenda: (worried) Are you okay?

Robin: Yes I'm fine.

Brenda: You're working too much. I haven't seen or talk to you in days.

Robin: Everyone is working overtime.

Brenda: But Robin, you're not everyone. You need your rest.

Robin: I'm off tonight. I promise I'll rest tonight.

Brenda: You better.

Robin: So what are you doing here?

Brenda: Lucy came by yesterday. She wanted to know if Deception could help in raising money for AIDS wing.

Robin: How?

Brenda: Lucy was thinking of selling some raffles to raise money. The winners will get a makeover and a photo shoot with Lucky.

Robin: Really? That's a great idea.

Brenda: Yeah, I thought so too. So are you in for the auction at the Nurse's ball?

Robin: I don't have a choice.

Brenda: I think you'll be a great catch. Any guy would be lucky for date with the Deception model with brains.

Robin: It's going to be so embarrassing.

Brenda: Well, we're all going to be up there.

Robin: You like this too much.

Brenda: It's fun.

Robin: Only you would think so.

Brenda: That's because I know how to have fun. Loosen up a little. Hey, I need you to try the bridesmaid dress. Julia can't decide so you'll have to.

Robin: Did she like them all?

Brenda: You know Julia. If it's not business, you can't keep her interested.

Robin: I can drop over your office after I get off from work.

Brenda: Ok. I have to go.

Robin: Come on, I'll walk you out. It's time for me to do my rounds (they walk toward the nurse station)

Brenda: Hi Amy

Amy: Hi. You know I wanted to tell you that I love that new lip shade. It's just beautiful on me.

Brenda: Yes it is. We're coming out with some more shades. I can send you over some samples.

Amy: Really? You're such a doll.

Carly: (hearing the interaction) Don't make me sick.

Brenda: Well the smell of you brings the word trash to our minds (Robin and Amy try to hold their laughter.)

Carly: (glares at Brenda) Where's Kevin Collins?

Amy: Do you have an appointment?

Carly: Yes.

Amy: (looking through some papers) I don't see your name. When did you make the appointment?

Carly: I don't know.

Amy: You don't know when you made the appointment?

Carly: (irritated) I didn't make the appointment. The parole officer did.

Amy: (a little louder) Oh, your parole officer made your appointment with Dr. Collings. Well, that's on a different schedule (Brenda and Robin trying not to smile at Amy's obviousness.)

Carly: Could you be any louder?

Amy: Sorry, did you not want anyone to know?

Carly: It's too late for that now. Where's his office?

Amy: Down the corridor, fourth door on the right (Carly stomps off angrily which caused Amy and Brenda to break out in laughter.)

Robin: You guys are bad.

Amy: Well her panties were bunched up too much. I was trying to help her out (Brenda laughs louder)

Robin: Amy!

Amy: What?

Brenda: (trying to stop laughing) As much I want to continue this, I have to get back to work. I'll see you guys later.

Robin: Bye. I'm going to go do my rounds. Oh Amy, will you keep an eye out for my PDA? I lost it somewhere and I can't find it.

Amy: Sure, no problem.

Setting: Kelly's

Liz: Did you convince Robin to do the act?

Emily: I'm working on it.

Liz: We're running out of time.

Emily: I know. Robin's been so busy at GH. I've barely seen her.

Liz: Has she said anything to you about Jason?

Emily: Not anything hopeful.

Liz: (slumps a little) Bumper.

Emily: I think she really wants to make it work with Luis.

Liz: I feel so bad for Jason. I've been nudging him toward Robin.

Emily: It wasn't for nothing. Robin does feel something for Jason. She just doesn't want to accept it.

Liz: You know they are really made for each other. They can be so stubborn (Jason walks in with Courtney) don't look now (Emily turns to the door to see Jason with Courtney. Emily gives a half smile and turns back to Liz.)

Emily: What is he doing with her? (Liz shrugs her shoulders)

Jason: (standing with Courtney by his side) Hi.

Liz: Hi Jason. Courtney.

Emily: What are you guys up to?

Courtney: I invited Jason for a late lunch.

Emily: (with a fake smile) That's awfully nice of you. You should drop by the house Jason. Michael is getting so big. AJ leaves him with Grandmother after school.

Jason: I'll drop by.

Courtney: We better eat so you can get back to work.

Jason: Ok. Bye (Jason and Courtney sit at a table)

Emily: She bothers me. She was ok when she was with AJ but this I can't handle.

Liz: You don't have to work with her.

Emily: Does she talk about Jason all the time?

Liz: No. She knows I don't think she's good enough for Jason.

Emily: What does he see in her?

Liz: She's not that bad looking Emily.

Emily: Jason doesn't care about appearance. What's going on between them?

Liz: I don't know.

Emily: Why don't you ask him?

Liz: Are you kidding? Hello? We're talking about Jason, your brother, the most private non-talkative person I know. He'll tell me it's none of my business. You talk to him. You're his sister. He's obligated to talk to you.

Emily: Well then I will (Emily looks over at Jason and Courtney.)

Courtney: You have a lot of people working for you. I was surprise.

Jason: They don't exactly work for me. They're reporting to me because Julia is out of town.

Courtney: What is it like working for Julia?

Jason: She's tough.

Courtney: It must be strange to own such a big company. She's so young too.

Jason: She didn't have a choice. Her father passed away when she was young. If she didn't take over then they would have had to sell the company.

Courtney: But what kind of a life can she possibility have?

Jason: What do you mean?

Courtney: She works all the time. She's not married and she's not seeing anyone. She must be lonely.

Jason: What goes on in Julia's personal life is none of our business.

Courtney: I wasn't gossiping. I just think it must be hard for her.

Jason: I'm sure it is but Julia strives on that. She doesn't let anything stand in her way. I admire her for that.

Courtney: (feels a little jealous that Jason was standing up for Julia) Will she be back in time for Nurse's Ball?

Jason: I think so.

Courtney: Speaking of which, will you go to the Nurse's Ball with me?

Jason: Why?

Courtney: Jason, I don't have anyone else to go with. I don't want to go alone.

Jason: What about Sonny and Carly?

Courtney: Well they're going together.

Jason: So?

Courtney: Jason, I don't want to be a third wheel. You're going right? (Jason nods) well then we can go together.

Jason: I'll think about it.

Courtney: What's there to think about?

Jason: (without enthusiasm) Fine (Courtney was thrilled)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: Have you talked to Robin? I haven't seen her in over a week.

Anna: I spoke to her yesterday. The hospital is really busy.

Mac: She can't keep doing this.

Anna: She's supposed to be off tomorrow.

Mac: Good.

Anna: I'll let Robin know that you approve.

Mac: That's not funny.

Anna: Oh Mac. You're just restless because it's so quiet at the station.

Mac: Does that seem weird to you?

Anna: What that you're restless?

Mac: That the streets are quiet.

Anna: It worries you?

Mac: Yes.

Anna: (scoots closer to Mac) Just enjoy the quietness.

Mac: I would if I knew why it was so quiet.

Anna: You know there are other things we could do to keep your mind busy.

Mac: Anna, I'm serious.

Anna: So am I (she gives Mac a kiss)

Mac: Anna...

Anna: Mac.

Mac: How am I suppose to say no to you (he crushed Anna into his arms for a scorching kiss)

Setting: Kelly's

Emily: I haven't seen much of you lately.

Jason: I've been busy working and going to school.

Emily: Does this mean you're completely out?

Jason: Yes.

Emily: I'm glad to hear that. Now, I don't have to worry about you so much.

Jason: (smiles a little) How are things with you? How's the prince?

Emily: He's fine. We're having a good time being together.

Jason: He better know what will happen if he hurts you.

Emily: I know you'll never hurt Nicholas (sees Courtney at the counter watching them) what's new with you?

Jason: Nothing.

Emily: Seeing anyone?

Jason: No.

Emily: Then what's going on between you and Courtney?

Jason: Nothing. We're friends.

Emily: I see the way she looks at you.

Jason: What does that mean?

Emily: She looks like she's about to jump you.

Jason: Emily!

Emily: What? You're a guy so you don't notice these things. But I'm a girl and these things don't escape me.

Jason: It's nothing.

Emily: Are you sure?

Jason: Yes.

Emily: Does that mean you're still trying to win Robin back?

Jason: Yes.

Emily: How is it going?

Jason: Hard to say.

Emily: Tell me.

Jason: Sometimes it feels like we're steps away from being with each other and other times it feels like Robin just sees me as a friend.

Emily: What are you doing about it?

Jason: What do you want me to do?

Emily: Are you going to give up? You don't love Robin anymore?

Jason: I love Robin more than ever but I don't know how else to break the barriers that she put up.

Emily: (encouraged) Well I know for a fact that it's just as hard for her to keep those barriers up.

Jason: Did she say something to you?

Emily: I can't tell you that but I can tell you that whatever you're doing it's working.

Jason: Really?

Emily: She asked me about you.

Jason: What?

Emily: If you like your job, school, if you were ok.

Jason: Anything else?

Emily: If you were going to the Nurse's Ball.

Jason: (he was happy to hear that Robin was inquiring about him) What did you say?

Emily: I said you wouldn't miss it for the world. Lucy is planning to auction Robin. The winner gets a date with Robin anywhere he wants.

Jason: Robin agreed to this?

Emily: Lucy has great power of persuasion.

Jason: Anyone can bid?

Emily: Yes but Lucy is planning to auction Robin last. Lucy is hoping Robin will bring in a lot of money because she's the Deception model (Emily watches Jason's reaction to her news. Emily then looks over at Courtney and gives a huge smile, which puzzled Courtney.)

Setting: Luis' penthouse

Luis: (all smiles) What are you doing here?

Robin: I come bearing popcorn and movies.

Luis: I don't eat popcorn (leads Robin inside)

Robin: You don't eat bad popcorn. This is deliciously drenched butter popcorn. It'll melt in your mouth.

Luis: What's the movie?

Robin: Well I didn't really know what kind of movie you like so I brought a few different one (pulling DVDs out of the bad) Undercover Brother, a hilarious comedy, Lord of the Rings, a good saga, Count of Monte Cristo, drama and Ocean's 11. What's your flavor?

Luis: My flavor?

Robin: (shakes her head) Which movie?

Luis: I don't know. I don't really watch movie.

Robin: What? This is such a crime. Everyone watches movies. Ok, I'll pick. We'll watch Undercover Brother.

Luis: Sounds good (Luis pops in the DVD and they settle on the couch) you want anything else to eat?

Robin: Popcorn is a perfectly healthy dinner. It's up there in the food pyramid. Have some (Luis grabs a handful and puts some in his mouth) good popcorn, huh?

Luis: (still doesn't understand Robin's fascination with popcorn but he indulged her) Yes, it's very good.

Robin: Have some more (hands Luis the bag of popcorn) there's not much plot to this movie but it's really funny. I practically fell out of my chair when I saw it in the theatre (Robin snuggles closer to Luis and they watch the movie. Luis tried to get into the movie but he just couldn't get some of the joke. But he enjoyed watching Robin laugh. Halfway through the second movie, Lord of the Rings, Robin was fast asleep. Luis didn't have the heart to wake Robin up so he carried her into his room. He took off Robin's shoes and covers her with blankets.)

Robin woke up the next day feeling refreshed. She looks around the room puzzled. Then she remembered where she was. Robin walked out the bedroom into the living room. Luis was at his table working.

Robin: Did you sleep?

Luis: (turns toward Robin) Good morning. How did you sleep?

Robin: I forgot where I was.

Luis: Can I get you some breakfast?

Robin: I better head home. Mom and Uncle Mac are probably worried.

Luis: Ok.

Robin: Did you get any sleep?

Luis: I didn't think you wanted to share my bed.

Robin: I wouldn't have mind.

Luis: Next time I'll know.

Robin: Did you enjoy the movies?

Luis: I enjoyed being with you.

Robin: Was that a no to the movies?

Luis: I have to head out of town for a few days.

Robin: You are going to be back in time for the Nurse's Ball?

Luis: I wouldn't miss it (gives Robin a tender kiss) will you miss me while I'm gone?

Robin: Yes.

Luis: Well then I'll have to come back sooner than I planned (gives Robin another kiss) you still have to leave?

Robin: (a little distracted by Luis' kisses) Yes

Luis: You want me to drive you (another kiss)

Robin: I have my car.

Luis: Thank you for the movies and popcorn.

Robin: You're welcome (Luis opens the door for Robin. He bends down to give her another kiss)

Luis: Bye my Robin

Robin: Bye (Robin stood up on her toes to give Luis another kiss. They linger at the door kissing for a few more minutes) I better go before I change my mind.

Luis: Ok (Robin leaves reluctantly)

Setting: Brenda's office

Brenda: (speaking into the phone) Where are you? I can barely hear you.

Julia: I'm outside the airport in Paris. What's going on?

Brenda: Nothing. I hadn't heard from you for few days. I was worried.

Julia: Sorry. I've been in meetings. I got you something for your wedding.

Brenda: Really? What is it?

Julia: I ran into an old schoolmate. She owns a bridal boutique in Brussels. She had this amazing veil. I got it for you. Wait until you see it Brenda.

Brenda: You're so sweet. I can't wait to see it. When will you be home?

Julia: I don't know. Things aren't going as I planned.

Brenda: The Nurse's Ball is in 3 days. You have to be here.

Julia: I don't know. I'll try.

Brenda: Julia, you have to be here. It's important.

Julia: I promise I'll try. I have to go. The car is here. I'll give you a call to let you know either way.

Brenda: No, I want you here.

Julia: I have to go (Julia hangs up)

Brenda: (yelling into the phone) Julia! Julia! Damn (hangs up the phone)

Aidan: (was standing at the door and heard most the last part of the conversation) Julia is still out of town?

Brenda: She just landed in Paris.

Aidan: When will she be back?

Brenda: She has no idea. What's going on?

Aidan: Why doesn't she know?

Brenda: What?

Aidan: Julia.

Brenda: Oh. She said something about things isn't going the way she planned. Which probably means the deal didn't go through.

Aidan: Deal?

Brenda: Julia is in talk to purchase a company. Man, I wouldn't want to be those guys working for her right now.

Aidan: What do you mean?

Brenda: Julia expects perfection from the people she works with. If the deal didn't go through, it's because someone didn't do his homework. Which mean something came up that she wasn't aware of or prepare for. Why?

Aidan: No reason.

Brenda: (looks closely at Aidan) What's up with you?

Aidan: Just work.

Brenda: Why are you asking about Julia?

Aidan: Can't I ask?

Brenda: I thought you didn't want anything to do with her.

Aidan: I never said that.

Brenda: Well you implied it.

Aidan: Don't put words in my mouth.

Brenda: Touchy aren't we?

Aidan: When are you supposed to talk to Julia again?

Brenda: I don't know. She hung up before I could find out. Why?

Aidan: No reason (Aidan walks out of Brenda's office. Brenda smiles watching Aidan.)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac: (seeing Robin walk in) Hello stranger.

Robin: (smiles at Mac) Hi Uncle Mac. Where's mom?

Mac: She went to do some errands. You want some breakfast?

Robin: Are you going to have some?

Mac: Sure (they make their way into the kitchen) eggs or pancakes?

Robin: Eggs.

Mac: You looked rested.

Robin: I fell asleep at Luis (Robin watches for Mac's reaction)

Mac: (trying to stay calm) Oh yeah?

Robin: We watched some movies last night and I guess I fell asleep.

Mac: You must have been tired (hands Robin a plate of scrambled eggs. He joins her at the table.)

Robin: That's all you're going to say?

Mac: What do you want me to say?

Robin: I was expecting a stronger reaction.

Mac: I know that you're a grown woman and that you have to make your own decisions.

Robin: Are you saying you accept my decision to be with Luis?

Mac: I wouldn't really use the work accept maybe tolerate.

Robin: Uncle Mac.

Mac: I don't think he's good enough for you but he does make you happy. So I won't cause any trouble.

Robin: Man, Mom is a good influence on you.

Mac: That's beside the point. I trust you Robin and I know you'll make the right decisions for yourself.

Robin: Thank you Uncle Mac.

Mac: You're welcome. Eat up (Robin smiles at Mac and goes back to eating her eggs.)

Setting: Kelly's

It was a hot summer afternoon in Port Charles. Liz, Emily, Tess, Brenda, and Robin are having a late lunch together. They've just finished their power-shopping spree. The girls are cooling off sipping lemonade.

Emily: I can't believe it's this hot.

Robin: Was it this hot last year? (Fanning herself with the napkin)

Liz: It wasn't this hot.

Tess: I'm starting to color a little (noticing the redness on her arms.)

Brenda: I'll have to think twice about the outdoor wedding.

Emily: Oh don't change it Brenda. I'm sure it'll cool off late September.

Brenda: It better. I'll melt, let alone the wedding cake (the girls laugh)

Robin: I'm so glad I work inside an air-conditioned building.

Liz: You're so lucky. I have to face the sun in a couple of hours.

Emily: You have class today?

Liz: Yes.

Emily: I'm relief I took this summer off. I don't think I can stand this heat in the city.

Liz: You mean you wanted the summer to romance with Nicholas (the girls laugh)

Emily: That's not why.

Brenda: Well I overheard Lucky planning some getaway for you guys.

Liz: Really? He didn't say anything.

Robin: I don't think you were supposed to say anything.

Brenda: I didn't want Liz to think that Lucky wasn't planning a summer romance for them.

Liz: I won't say anything. Before I forget, we need to do another fitting for the costume (Robin made a face)

Emily: You did a really good job with those costumes.

Brenda: I can't believe I let you guys talked me into this.

Robin: Ditto for me.

Emily: You guys will love it.

Robin: People are going to get tired of seeing me up on that stage.

Liz: No they won't. You know I'm a little nervous about this auction thing.

Brenda: It'll be so fun. We raised a lot of money the last time it was done.

Robin: That was because Sonny and Jax were fighting over you.

Emily: What happens if we end up with someone we don't want to have dinner with?

Brenda: Then you take them to basketball or baseball game and buy them a hotdog and a beer.

Robin: You can't do that.

Brenda: Why not?

Robin: Because they paid good money to have a nice dinner with you.

Liz: Well I hope Lucky will bid for me. You shouldn't have a problem Emily. Nicholas is a prince after all. He's too much of a gentleman to let another guy bid on you.

Emily: I'm crossing my finger.

Robin: Who do you want to bid you Tess?

Emily: (before Tess could answer) AJ (Tess blushes a little)

Brenda: Really? When did this happen?

Tess: It's nothing.

Emily: They went out on a few dates.

Robin: AJ is a really nice guy.

Brenda: It's going to be an interesting night either way.

Robin: What are you planning? (Asking Brenda suspiciously.)

Brenda: (feigning innocent) Nothing.

Robin: You said that too quickly.

Brenda: You're just paranoid (Courtney brought them another round of lemonade)

Courtney: You guys want anything else?

Brenda: I'm too hot to eat (the other agreed) thanks anyway (Courtney walked back to the counter. She felt a little lonely looking over at the table. She was envious of their friendship.) The highlight of the night is seeing all the guys in tux. They all look so hot (they all burst out laughing. At that precise moment Jason walked in.) Speaking of hot (All 5 girls turn to Jason. Jason stopped in his track when he saw 5 set of eyes staring at him.)

Liz: I agree with Brenda. Jason in a tux is hot (the girls laughed)

Jason: (stops in front of the table) Did I hear my name? (The girls tried to hold their giggles.)

Brenda: Well hi Jason. Are you enjoying the heat? (The girls start to laugh. Jason was puzzled.)

Jason: I guess so (his eyes lands on Robin, who was doing her best not to return his look.)

Brenda: You should drink some lemonade. It'll help cool you down (the girls were giggled a little.)

Jason: (still puzzled as to why everyone was laughing) Ok bye (all 5 set of eyes followed Jason's movement to the counter.)

Brenda: He'll need more than lemonade to cool down (the girls burst out laughing louder which caused Jason and Courtney to look over at them.)

Robin: (grasping for control) You guys behave.

Tess: Easier said than done. Look at that body. Doesn't it just make you want to...

Emily: He's my brother!

Liz: (covers Emily's ears with her hands) Finish what you're saying Tess.

Tess: Melt chocolate on (more laughter erupts from the girls.)

Emily: I heard that (trying not to laugh but unsuccessful.)

Brenda: All this laughing is killing my stomach.

Liz: I have to get to class. I'll see you later.

Brenda: I guess we better get back to the office.

Tess: Yeah. Bye Robin. Bye Emily

Robin: Bye.

Emily: I like Tess. She has a really good sense of humor.

Robin: Yeah.

Emily: I'm meeting Nicholas.

Robin: Say hi to him for me.

Emily: I will (Emily gives Robin a hug) Bye

Robin: Bye (Robin was gathering up her bags to leave also when Jason stops her.)

Jason: Hi.

Robin: Hi.

Jason: Are you heading to work?

Robin: No. I have the day off (they sit back down.)

Jason: So what did I walk in on?

Robin: (remembering Tess words) Just girl talk (blushing a little)

Jason: You're blushing.

Robin: It's hot.

Jason: What were you talking about?

Robin: The Nurse's Ball.

Jason: And that make you guys laugh?

Robin: Not exactly.

Jason: I saw you guys looking at me.

Robin: Please don't ask me anymore. I can't tell you.

Jason: You want to go for a ride?

Courtney: (interrupts) I get off in an hour Jason. You want to come back then?

Jason: What?

Courtney: Dinner (Robin was disappointed. She pretends indifference.)

Jason: What about it?

Courtney: We could go to dinner after I get off from work.

Jason: I can't. I have plans.

Courtney: (disappointed and embarrassed that Jason turned her down in front of Robin) Oh. I thought that's why you're here.

Jason: No. I need to speak to Robin.

Courtney: I didn't mean to interrupt (she walks away)

Jason: Sorry about that.

Robin: Don't worry about it. I better go. You're busy.

Jason: (reach for Robin's hand) I'm not busy. Do you want to go for a ride?

Robin: What about Courtney?

Jason: I didn't ask her.

Robin: I don't want to cause any trouble.

Jason: There's no trouble.

Robin: Then I would like to go for a ride.

Jason: (happy with Robin's response) Let's go (Courtney watches them walk out together.)

A couple of hour later at the docks...

Robin: I feel so wonderful right now.

Jason: I'm glad you enjoy the ride. Want to do it again?

Robin: I don't know when my next day off will be.

Jason: I'm free any day.

Robin: (smiles sweetly at Jason) I'll remember that. How have you been?

Jason: Fine. I've been spending a lot of time at the construction site.

Robin: I drove by and it looks busy there.

Jason: You didn't stop in.

Robin: I didn't want to bother you.

Jason: You're never that. Are you looking forward to the Nurse's Ball?

Robin: I am. My aunt Alex and Uncle Dimitri are supposed to be here. I haven't seen them in awhile.

Jason: You never spoke of them before.

Robin: I only found out about Aunt Alex 2 years ago. She's my mom identical twin.

Jason: Twin?

Robin: I was just as shock when I found out.

Jason: You're family is getting bigger.

Robin: Isn't that great?

Jason: (smiles at Robin's enthusiasm) Yes.

Robin: You're going right?

Jason: Yes (Robin nods her head) what are you thinking?

Robin: Another year passed without Stone.

Jason: You still miss him.

Robin: Some days more than other.

Jason: I thought they say time was supposed to help.

Robin: It does. I don't feel sadness when I think of Stone. I really only remember the good times we had together.

Jason: You still wish he were here with you.

Robin: (looks at Jason) Yes but I'm glad you're here with me.

Jason: You are?

Robin: Being with you puts everything in perspective for me. Even when I'm most angry or sad, having you near me makes everything calmer.

Jason: You quiet the fighting that goes on in my head too.

Robin: I better head home. Thank you for the ride.

Jason: You're welcome.

Robin: Goodnight.

Jason: Goodnight Robin (Jason watched Robin walk off)

Setting: Nurse's Ball

Anyone who is anyone in Port Charles was here for the important night. All the men are in their tuxes and the ladies in their beautiful gowns. Alan, Monica, Ned, Alexis, AJ, Tess, Emily, Nicholas, Edward and Lila made up the Quartermaine table. Edward has a frown on his face because Nicholas was at the same table. Bobbie, Ric, Carly, Sonny, Mike, Jason, and Courtney were sitting together. Carly was very happy to see Jason's escort was Courtney. Sonny didn't look at all too happy. Mac, Anna, Brenda, Jax, Lucy, Kevin, Scott, Felicia, Maxie, Georgie, Aidan, Liz, Lucky, Luke, and Lulu are sitting at the same table. Robin hasn't arrived yet. The crowd was bigger this year than normal. Lucy looked around and was pleasantly happy with the turnout.

Lucy: Well, I think we should get the show on the road.

Kevin: It's a pack house.

Lucky: Go get them (Lucy make her way onstage)

Lucy: (at the microphone) Hello everyone. I'm so happy to see you all here. I'm Lucy Coe and I'll be your host tonight. AIDS/HIV is a disease that touches all of us. Over the years, we lost our love ones and we've seen our love ones fight the disease with all their courage and might. All of us need to come together to fight this devastating and cruel disease. Tonight is a step toward that direction. We hope to raise money so our doctors and scientists can develop the cure for this deadly disease. We hope to raise money to help those fighting the disease to lead a full and long life (Lucy spots Robin and Luis at the door and she smiles) and who better to help us lead the fight then our very own Dr. Robin Scorpio (everyone turns their attention toward Robin and Luis at the entrance. Robin was glued to the spot. She didn't expect to make an entrance. Luis leads them to their table) Robin has returned to us from studying abroad at Sorbonne. In the short time that Robin has been here at General Hospital, she has dedicated her time, skills, and heart to helping others. She has taken the sole responsibility of raising the fund necessary to keep the Stone Cates AIDS Wing open (Lucy turns in direction of Robin) Robin, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage, bravery, and dedication to fight this disease (a load applause erupts in the room) everyone Dr. Robin Scorpio (everyone rises and applaud. Luis gives her a kiss on the cheek and helps her out of her chair. He leads her to the stage. Onstage, Lucy and Robin hug each other tightly.)

Robin: (quiet as she looks out to the audience) Hello everyone. Not too long ago, a boy taught me the meaning of love and death. Everyday he lives inside of me. I stand before you today as person who has traveled a long journey and who is still not finished with her travel. Each and every one of you have had a part in who and what I am today (Robin turns toward Mac and Anna) Uncle Mac, you have raised me and guided me with love and trust. Mom you have taught me that honesty is a guide to life. I love you both with all of my heart. Dr. Alan Quartermaine (Robin looks to Alan) words can't express my gratitude. You have dedicated yourself to keeping me healthy and alive. You have been the compass for my education and career. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Alan mouthed you're welcome to Robin, who smiles back. Robin eyes landed on Jason. Jason was intently looking at Robin. Without releasing her look from Jason) I want to thank each of you for giving me hope, courage, and love to live each day of my life. You've given me strength when I didn't have any left. You've given me love when I thought wasn't worthy of loving. My life wouldn't be the same without you in it (Robin finally breaks the look) thank you for your support in fighting AIDS/HIV and thank you for coming tonight (applause rings out in the room. Lucy comes back and gives Robin another hug and goes to the microphone.)

Lucy: We have a very special night planned for you all. As Eddie Mane he rocked our world with his moves and beautiful voice. I couldn't convince Ned to put those sexy leather pants back on but he did agree to sing for us. May I present Mr. Ned Ashton (Ned came on stage and start to sing.)

At Sonny's table,

Jason was quiet after Robin's speech. He had felt that Robin was speaking to him directly. It was as if they were the only 2 people in the room. He wanted so much to go to her. Jason looks over Robin's table and sees she's back sitting next to Luis. Jason's eyes meet Carly's and it turned cold. He didn't want to be sitting at the same table as her. But Jason knew that Sonny needed him tonight. Jason looks over at Sonny. Sonny was looking off in the distance toward Robin's table.

Jason: She's happy Sonny.

Sonny: Yes. She has her friends and family.

Jason: Why don't you go talk to her?

Sonny: I can't.

Courtney: (interrupts) Jason, do you want to get something to drink?

Jason: (turns to Courtney. He had forgotten that they came together.) What do you want? I'll go get it.

Courtney: White wine? (Jason nods and gets up. Carly makes her way over to Courtney.)

Sonny: I'll go with you.

Carly: I'm glad to see you here with Jason. How did it happen?

Courtney: (smiles) I asked and he accepted.

Carly: Good for you. You are the perfect person for Jason.

Courtney: You think so?

Carly: Yes. You are strong and independent. Jason needs someone who doesn't cling to him.

Courtney: I like Jason a lot. I don't know if he feels the same way.

Carly: If he doesn't, he will. Just don't let him out of your sight. Jason tends to let people grow on him. The more time you spend with him, the more he opens to you.

Courtney: I will thank you.

Carly: (grinning ear to ear) I'm glad I could help.

At Robin's table

Anna: That was a beautiful speech darling.

Robin: Thank you. I had hoped that Lucy wouldn't make me go up until later.

Lucy: You were kind of standing already.

Luke: Timing was never your best trait Lucy (everyone laughs)

Lucy: I resent that.

Robin: Mom, I thought Aunt Alex and Uncle Dimitri were supposed to be here.

Anna: (looks toward the door as Alex and Dimitri just arrived. Anna smiles) They wouldn't miss tonight for anything (Robin looks at Anna who was smiling. Robin looks toward the entrance to see Alex and Dimitri. Robin gets up her chair and practically ran into Alex's arms. Anna and Mac followed behind.)

Robin: (with pure happiness on her face) I'm so glad you here.

Alex: You didn't think I miss your night, did you?

Robin: I missed you.

Alex: I miss you (Robin then goes to Dimitri and hugs him.)

Dimitri: Hello beautiful.

Robin: Hi Uncle Dimitri. You look very dashing tonight.

Dimitri: Thank you. You are a sight for sore eyes. Hello Anna.

Anna: Hello Dimitri. Your timing is perfect.

Alex: We got held up at the airport.

Anna: Alex, Dimitri this is Mac Scorpio.

Mac: It's a pleasure to meet you.

Alex: The pleasure is ours.

Dimitri: (shakes Mac's hand) Nice to meet you (the 5 of them was causing quite a stir. Dimitri and Alex looking so grand and elegant. Mac and Anna look beautiful standing next to each other. Robin was glowing with happiness.)

Sonny: Am I seeing double?

Jason: Alex is Anna's twin sister.

Sonny: I didn't know Anna had a sister.

Jason: They only recently found each other.

Sonny: They look exactly alike. They are very striking.

Jason: Yes

Carly: (looking at Anna and Alex) Who the hell is that?

Bobbie: She looks exactly like Anna.

Mike: She's as beautiful and elegant as Anna.

Carly: God, one was enough.

Mike: (gives Carly a distaste look) God didn't agree with you (Carly shut her mouth)

The 5 made their way back to the table where the introductions were made. Everyone can't stop staring at Anna and Alex. They were so similar and yet so different. Alex was the quieter of the 2. Anna had the vibrant personality.

Brenda: They look so alike.

Robin: (laughs) I thought Alex was my mom when I first saw her.

Brenda: How can you tell them apart?

Robin: You'll get use to them. Where's Julia?

Brenda: She said she was going to be here.

Robin: (looks over at Aidan) I think someone is missing her.

Brenda: Yeah. He almost has that lost puppy look.

Robin: Has Julia said anything to you about Aidan?

Brenda: Are you kidding? You know how tight lip she is about her personal life.

Onstage Luke and Lulu are doing a father and a daughter act that was drawing laughter from the audience. The night was progressing along wonderfully. The acts were funny and surprising.

Lucy: Everyone, I want to make an announcement. I have in my hand 2 generous donation checks. Both are made in the name of Robin Scorpio to the Stone Cates Aids Wing. Both donors wanted it to an anonymous donations but I wanted to personally thank you, whoever you are. One donation was in the amount of 10 million dollars and the other was in the amount of 15 million dollars (everyone gasped an applaud, Robin looked over at Sonny and Jason) thank you so much for your generosity and your kindness.

Anna: They saved the Aids Wing

Robin: Yes.

Alex: Do you know who made the donations honey?

Robin: I think so.

Dimitri: You have some very kind friends (Robin nods)

Alex: Anna says you have a big act tonight.

Robin: Don't remind me.

Brenda: Don't let her fool you.

Liz: Robin was wonderful during practice.

Alex: Well I can't wait.

A little while later, Robin made her way over to Sonny's table. Carly was giving Robin nasty looks. Courtney tried to remain neutral. Sonny got up when Robin reached the table.

Sonny: Hi Robin.

Robin: Hello everyone.

Mike: Your speech was wonderful Robin.

Robin: Thank you Mike.

Bobbie: You look beautiful tonight Robin.

Robin: Thank you Bobbie. May I speak for you for a minute?

Sonny: Certainly (they walk out to the terrace side by side) Are you enjoying yourself?

Robin: Yes. It's been a magical night.

Sonny: I'm glad.

Robin: I feel Stone here with us.

Sonny: Yes.

Robin: Thank you for the donation. You don't know how much it means to me.

Sonny: I know how much you mean to me.

Robin: (turns to Sonny) I don't understand.

Sonny: I know you don't want me in your life. I understand why. The money is a selfish reason for me to keep you in my life. I hope the money will help extend your life and cure you of the disease. Without you in this world, a lot of people including myself would be and is lost.

Robin: (tears in her eyes) I wish things were different between us. It pains me to see you and not be with you. I hope that you know that I wish and hope for happiness in your life. You deserve it Sonny.

Sonny: (caught in the moment) Thank you sweetheart. I miss my little sister. I hope for a day when our roads will merge again.

Robin: I do too.

Sonny: I better head back. Are you going to stay out here?

Robin: Just for few minutes.

Sonny: Ok (Sonny was about to walk away)

Robin: Sonny (Robin hugs Sonny. Sonny held Robin speechless.) Be happy (Sonny nods and steps away. Sonny stops when he saw Jason at the door. The 2 men look at each other. Sonny leaves and Jason makes his way toward Robin.)

Jason: Hi

Robin: (turns to Jason) Hi

Jason: (admires Robin in her gown. She looks so breathtaking in red thin strap a-line princess gown.) You look beautiful.

Robin: (smiles) So do you.

Jason: That was a nice speech you gave.

Robin: I meant every word.

Jason: I know. Thank you.

Robin: No, I'm the one who is grateful.

Jason: You were right about your aunt. She looks very much like your mother.

Robin: They're very striking aren't they?

Jason: To say the least. You should go back in.

Robin: In a minute, I want to thank you for the donation. You didn't have to do that.

Jason: I want to.

Robin: It's a lot of money.

Jason: I don't need it.

Robin: (looks at Jason in amazement) You are really something. I'm glad to have you back in my life again.

Jason: Thank you for letting me.

Robin: I'll see you back inside (Jason watches Robin leave. There was more that he wanted to say but this wasn't the place. Jason turns back toward the terrace. Jason remembered back to the years that they attended the Ball together. He felt so loved sitting there with Robin. She always managed to make him feel special.)

Courtney: Jason?

Jason: Yeah?

Courtney: What are you doing out here?

Jason: I needed to do some thinking.

Courtney: Do you want to talk about it? (No answer) It's so beautiful out here.

Jason: Yes.

Courtney: Are you okay?

Jason: I'm fine.

Courtney: You seem kind of quiet. Did something happen?

Jason: No. Why don't you go back inside? I'll be there in a minute.

Courtney: Jason, I like to help if I can.

Jason: I want to be...

Liz: (interrupts) Jason? (Liz walks toward Jason and Courtney. Courtney gives Liz a look, which she ignores) I was looking for you.

Jason: What's going on? (Liz doesn't answer) Courtney, I'll see you inside.

Courtney: (hurt and mad at being dismissed) Okay.

Liz: Did I interrupt something?

Jason: No. What's going on?

Liz: I wanted to see how you're doing.

Jason: Why?

Liz: I saw Robin come back to the table.

Jason: I'm fine.

Liz: Did you guys talk? (Jason nods) Did anything happen?

Jason: No. Robin thanked me for the donation.

Liz: What did you say?

Jason: You're welcome.

Liz: Jason! You didn't say anything else?

Jason: (frustrated) The words wouldn't come out.

Liz: I'm sorry I didn't mean to jump down your throat.

Jason: I didn't think this was the appropriate place. I didn't want any interruptions.

Liz: Then you made the right decision (she looks at Jason, she felt bad for him) it's still a long night. You never know what might happen. Our act is coming up, why don't you come inside? (Courtney was standing behind the door and hear the entire conversation. She sneaks away quickly as Liz and Jason make there way back inside.)

The Ball is progressing along nicely. Robin noticed Aidan was distracted.

Robin: (notices Aidan looking at the entrance) Waiting for someone?

Aidan: No.

Robin: Could have fooled me.

Aidan: This is quite a shindig you put together.

Robin: I didn't do very much.

Aidan: You have a lot of supporters.

Robin: Yes (catches Aidan's eyes at the entrance again) why don't you call her?

Aidan: Who?

Robin: Julia.

Aidan: I don't need to talk to her.

Robin: Give it up.

Aidan: What?

Robin: Your eyes have been at the entrance all night. Just call her.

Aidan: What do you want me to say?

Robin: You'll find something.

Aidan: Am I supposed to tell her I've been a jackass?

Robin: (smiles) That's a start.

Aidan: She doesn't even want to talk to me.

Robin: How do you know? You haven't talk to her.

Aidan: It won't do any good.

Robin: Don't give up so easily. It looks to me like you like Julia and according to Brenda Julia couldn't stop smiling after you guys spent the day together. You want to throw that away? Just think about it. I have to go get dress for my act.

Aidan: Good luck.

Robin: Thanks

A little while later...

Lucy: Our next act is made up of Port Charles young, elite and very accomplished individuals. It consists of a creative director of a cosmetic company, a painter, a lawyer, a public relation, a photographer, a doctor who is also a model, and a prince. The group will be doing a rendition of the 1970s disco hits. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present The Port Charles Watchers.

Applause break out as Brenda, Liz, Emily, Tess, Lucky, Robin, and Nicholas make their way on stage wearing 1970s retro outfits, wigs and afros. The audience were laughing and cheering at their outfits. The speakers blare out The Village People's YMCA. The seven members on stage danced and sing around each other. The audience whistled and cheered them on. When the song was almost over it kicked over to Gloria Gaynor's "I will Survive." Robin picked up the microphone as Brenda, Liz, and Lucky split into one group and Emily, Tess, and Nicholas into another group. While Robin sang, the two group comically acted the scene of a guy cheating on his girlfriend, gets caught, and she kicks him out of his life. Robin continues to sing without breaking out in laughter with the audience. The ladies in the audience loudly applaud the act while the men didn't look too happy. As the song was reaching the end, it kicked over to The Bee Gee Saturday Night Fever and Lucky takes the microphone. Then gang starts to mimic John's Travolta's moves from the movie that caused the audience to break out in a louder cheer. Lucky finished the song and the room was on its feet cheering. The gang bows and makes their way off stage.

Lucy: Wow! That was something was it not ladies and gentlemen? (More applause) We have reached the time of the night that all you gentlemen have been waiting for. We did this a while back and we got such a good result so we decided to do it again. The rules are if you can bid as many times as you like on as many ladies as you like. The winner of the bid will get a dinner with the special lady at any place of his choosing. There is one special bid but we will go into that when we get to it. Now these ladies are Port Charles most beautiful, smartest, sexiest (whistles from the audience), and gustiest. All the proceeds from the auction will go the Stone Cates Aids Wing. Now, I like to present the ladies. Ladies, please come out when I call your name. Brenda Barrett (Brenda steps out and Jax whistles at her), Elizabeth Webber (Lucky whistles), Emily Quartermaine (Nicholas clapped the loudest), Tess Winters, Felicia Jones, Anna Devane (whistle from Luke). Now I see a few ladies in our audience that should definitely be up here Bobbie Jones, Courtney Mathews, (Lucy spots Julia at the entrance and smiles) Julia Barrett (surprised Julia looks up at the stage) Julia please come up onstage (Julia walks toward the stage puzzled, she gives Brenda a questioned look who shrugged her shoulders) now who did I forget?

Brenda: (rather loudly) Robin Scorpio.

Lucy: Of course Robin, please come up here (Robin looks pleadingly toward Lucy) Gentlemen give a Robin some encouragement (applause broke out)

Alex: I don't think you have a choice honey (Robin walks up onstage. She gives Brenda a funny look when she got there.)

Lucy: Now gentlemen, we can start bidding. Our first lady is Elizabeth Webber (Liz walks toward the audience and stands) Elizabeth is an accomplished painter. She is studying art at PCU.

Dr. Robin Scorpio is doing her first year residence at General Hospital. Her future aspiration is to be a neurosurgeon. From what I hear from Monica, Robin is quite an accomplished surgeon now. Robin is also the face of Deception. She has brought recognition of the name to people of all race and class. I did mention earlier that there was a special bid. Now, if you are the lucky winner you get an entire day with our Dr. Scorpio (Robin looks helplessly at Lucy) that gentlemen includes 3 meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner (someone in the audience yelled out "what about dessert?") well that too if you are the winner.

Lucy: (quickly) We have a winner. Thank you Jason for your donation. Enjoy your date (Robin walked off the stage without taking her eyes off of Jason. Her eyes indicated that she had questions. Jason responded with a slight smile.)

Jason: This is not up for discussion.

Mike: You did a great thing Jason.

Jason: Thank you

At the Scorpio table where Anna, Mac, Alex, Dimitri, Luke, and Aidan looked worried.

Mac: What is he doing here?

Anna: I don't know. But that was close.

Robin: Why is he here?

Anna: I don't know darling. I better go find out.

Mac: (stops Anna) No, out of the question.

Anna: Mac.

Aidan: I'll go.

Dimitri: I'll go with you Aidan (everyone watches as Aidan and Dimitri made their way to David.) What are you doing here David?

David: (grins) It is a public function.

Aidan: You're not wanted here.

David: I don't know about that (tries to step forward but Dimitri and Aidan step in front of him)

Dimitri: This is a very important night for Robin. If you ever cared for Anna, you don't want to do this here.

David: (looks at Dimitri) I like to speak to Anna.

Aidan: (angrily) She doesn't want to talk to you.

Dimitri: (calmly) It would be better if you make arrangement for another time?

David: Fine. But tell Anna I'm not leaving Port Charles until I speak to her. I'll be at the Port Charles Hotel (David leaves and Dimitri and Aidan walk back to the table.)

Anna: What happened?

Dimitri: He wants to speak to you. He'll be at the Port Charles Hotel.

Anna: Did he say about what?

Dimitri: No

Aidan: You're not going anywhere near him.

Anna: I have to find out why he's here.

Mac: I don't like this. We don't know what he's planning.

Luke: I'm with Mac on this one.

Anna: The sooner I talk to him the sooner he'll leave Port Charles. Robin is not safe with him here.

Robin: I'll be fine Mom. Don't do this because of me.

Alex: Anna, we're concerned for your safety.

Anna: I know that. But I need to protect Robin.

Mac: Fine. We'll setup a different place for you to meet him. We'll have people watching you in case of anything.

Anna: Fine.

Mac: I'm going to go talk to Taggert. Don't go anywhere (Mac head over to Taggert)

Sonny and Jason observed everything from their table.

Sonny: What's going on?

Jason: I don't know.

Sonny: Who was that guy? (Carly was trying desperately to listen to the conversation)

Jason: I'm going to find out (Jason walks over to Taggert and Mac) Mac, what's going on?

Mac: I don't think you should get involve.

Jason: I am involved Mac.

Mac: (lets out a sigh) David Hayward wants to meet with Anna.

Jason: That was Hayward?

Mac: Yes. Robin isn't safe until he's out of town. He won't leave until he speaks to Anna.

Jason: What are you planning?

Mac: We need to find a place where Anna can meet him and still be safe.

Jason: The construction site.

Mac: I don't know.

Taggert: No, that's a good idea. Tomorrow is Sunday. It'll be empty. We'll be able to setup and place our guys. It's fenced so we have more control.

Mac: Ok, why don't you set that up? Jason, you'll probably need to discuss this with Julia.

Jason: I'll take care of it. How's Robin?

Mac: She's fine. Jason, thank you for both of your donations (Jason nods his head to Mac. Mac makes his way back to the table.)

Sonny: What's going on?

Jason: We can't talk here. Come by later.

Sonny: Ok. We're going to head out.

Jason: Ok (Sonny and Carly walked out)

Carly: What the hell do you think you were doing in there?

Sonny: What?

Carly: (she stops) Were you trying to humiliate me?

Sonny: How was I doing that?

Carly: First you bid on your ex-lover's sister and then you bid on that Saint who ruined my life.

Sonny: (angry) First of all, Robin is not a saint. She did not ruin your life. You did. Second of all, tonight is not about you. It's about Stone, Robin, AIDS, and HIV. Stop being so selfish!

Carly: Don't get mighty with me. You didn't want to see Julia be with someone else. Don't make this about Stone.

Sonny: I will not discuss this with you here and now.

Carly: (angrily) You know what? Why don't you just spend the night here with your precious Stone, Robin and whoever? (Sonny eyed Carly. He held on to his anger and walked away)

Sonny: Damn!

Back inside...

Courtney: Jason, I like to leave now.

Jason: I have some things to take care of.

Courtney: Jason...

Jason: I don't have time to explain. Mike, could you take Courtney home for me?

Mike: Sure, no problem. Is there anything I can do?

Jason: No (Jason walks over to Robin's table. Courtney angrily watches him sit down next to Robin.)

Mike: Honey, Jason is not a free man.

Courtney: She's not free either.

Mike: That won't stop Jason from loving Robin.

Courtney: Are you on her side also?

Mike: No, I'm on your side. I don't want you to get hurt.

Courtney: Jason already hurt me. I came with him tonight thinking we could get close but all he's cared about is Robin. He wouldn't even bid for me.

Mike: I'm sorry honey.

Courtney: I know I can make him forget her. We were getting close until she came back into town.

Mike: Robin isn't going anywhere now.

Courtney: So you want me to give up?

Mike: They have a connection that is very hard to break. Carly tried and failed. I don't want that to happen to you.

Courtney: I won't fail. I know I can make Jason love me.

Mike: (not wanting to hurt Courtney) Let's get you home.

At Robin's table...

Jason: Are you okay?

Robin: I'm fine.

Jason: Maybe you should head home?

Robin: Luis is getting the car right now (Alex and Dimitri approached Robin and Jason.)

Alex: Robin, we're going to head over to the hotel.

Robin: No, why don't you stay at Uncle Mac's?

Alex: Honey, we'll be fine.

Robin: Please?

Dimitri: (trying to calm Robin) I'll have the driver stop by the hotel and get our stuff and we'll head over to Mac.

Robin: Thank you. Aunt Alex, Uncle Dimitri this is Jason Morgan. Jason this is my Aunt Alex and her husband Dimitri.

Jason: (extends his hand to Dimitri) Nice to meet you.

Alex: (eyes Jason questionably) Nice to meet you Jason.

Dimitri: We're going to get going. We'll see you at Mac's (Robin nods and watches them leave)

Jason: Talk to me Robin.

Robin: Mom is worried that David is here.

Jason: Mac told me. Is there anything I can do?

Robin: No. I don't want you involved.

Jason: Robin. I have to be.

Robin: (strongly) No! I don't want anything to happen to you. I couldn't bare it Jason.

Jason: (tenderly takes her hands in his) Nothing is going to happen to me. I won't let it. Besides, you owe me a date.

Robin: (smiles at Jason) I can't believe you paid 2 million dollars for me.

Jason: I would have paid more.

Robin: Jason, promise me you'll let Uncle Mac handle this. Promise me Jason (before Jason could answer)

Luis: The car is waiting outside for us Robin.

Robin: (she gives Jason another pleading look) Ok, I'm ready.

Jason: Goodnight Robin

Robin: Goodnight Jason (Jason watches Robin leave with Luis. He wanted so much to take her into his arms and soothes her worries.)

Anna, Mac, and Aidan are standing to a side...

Mac: Jason is going to talk to Julia about using the construction site.

Anna: That's a good idea.

Aidan: I don't think you should go near him unarmed.

Anna: I'll have my gun.

Mac: We'll also wire you (Anna looks at Mac) humor me.

Anna: Alright.

Jason: (approaches the 3) Julia doesn't see any problems.

Mac: What details did you give her?

Jason: Only that Anna needed to meet someone and we wanted a secure spot to watch her.

Mac: Good.

Jason: When do you want to do this?

Anna: As soon as possible. When will Taggert be ready?

Mac: The earliest will be tomorrow morning.

Anna: Good. We need to keep an eye on Robin. She's working tomorrow.

Aidan: I'll ask Brenda and Jax to keep an eye on her.

Jason: No, I'll do it.

Aidan: No! (Anna and Mac look at each, surprised by Aidan's tone) you stay away from her.

Jason: I'm the best person to protect her.

Aidan: Are you going to protect her from yourself?

Anna: Robin is going to be annoyed if we put anyone on her. It'll be best if we make it a casual thing. Jason, why don't you tail Robin? Hopefully, she won't spot you. We'll ask Brenda to check on her at the hospital.

Jason: What about when she gets out of work?

Mac: Robin is too vulnerable with David around. We need to keep her safe somewhere.

Aidan: Are you proposing we hide Robin?

Jason: I can hide her. You know I can Mac.

Mac: (looks at Anna and she nods her head) I want you to take Robin out of Port Charles. Keep her safe until you hear from me.

Aidan: Absolutely not! Robin is not safe with him.

Anna: Aidan, this is best way to protect Robin.

Aidan: I'll hide Robin.

Anna: David will be suspicious if both you and Robin are missing. Jason, you go over and pick up Robin tonight and keep her with you. Don't let her leave your sight (Jason nods and Aidan looks angry)

Mac: We'll make contact through Luke.

Anna: Keep Robin safe for us.

Jason: I will (Jason leaves)

Aidan: I can't believe we trust him to protect Robin.

Mac: Jason won't let anything happen to Robin.

Aidan: What about emotionally?

Setting: Mac's house

Luis: I'm sorry your evening was spoiled.

Robin: We raised enough money to keep the Aids Wing open. I'm happy about that.

Luis: You were magnificent tonight.

Robin: I think I was onstage way too much.

Luis: You bring a face to the disease. It makes people more aware of the problem.

Robin: I'm going to head off to bed.

Luis: Ok. Alex and Dimitri said they were on their way over.

Robin: Thank you for coming with me tonight. Did you at least have a good time?

Luis: (wraps his arms around Robin's waist) yes (he leans down to kiss Robin softly)

Robin: Um...I had a nice time tonight too (they exchange another kiss and make their way to the door.)

Luis: Sweet dreams my Robin.

Robin: Goodnight (Robin close the door softly behind her. Robin slowly makes her way up the stairs. The doorbell rings. Robin was smiling as she opens the door.) Jason, what are you doing here?

Jason: Can I come in?

Robin: Sure (Jason walks into the living room) what's going on?

Jason: I need you to come with me.

Robin: Now?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: Where are we going?

Jason: I can't tell you.

Robin: You can't tell me? You expect me to just leave with you?

Jason: I can't explain it all right now.

Robin: Well then I'm not going (holds her ground. Jason looks at the defiant look on Robin's face. Jason walked toward the stairs and took the steps 2 at a time.) Where are you going? (No answer from Jason. Robin follows Jason to her room.) Jason, you can't be in here (Jason was too busy opening the closet and looking for a bag. He starts throwing things in the bag.) Jason, stop this.

Jason: Do you need anything else? (No answer from Robin. Jason sees no cooperation from Robin, goes to the bathroom to find her extra meds.) Let's go.

Robin: I'm not going anywhere with you.

Jason: Don't make this difficult Robin. Just come with me.

Robin: What are you going to do if I don't? (Jason looks at Robin, steps toward Robin, reaches for her and gently tossed Robin over his shoulder) Jason, put me down this minute.

Jason: I gave you a chance (Jason walks down the step hurriedly and out the door.)

Robin: I don't want to go anywhere with you. Put me down (Robin starts to fight with Jason.) I don't want to hurt you Jason but I will if you don't put me down. (Jason opens his car door and slides Robin in. Robin quickly heads for her door but Jason was quicker. Robin tries to grab the keys as Jason was inserting it into the ignition. But Jason held Robin back with his arm. Jason put the car into drive and drove off.) Damn you! I don't want to go with you. How do you know I don't have other plans tonight?

Jason: (abruptly) Is that why you opened the door with that smile on your face?

Robin: (angrily) It's none of your business what I do.

Jason: You were expecting Alcazar? (No answer) why did he leave you?

Robin: None of your business.

Jason: I came just in time.

Robin: Don't flatter yourself.

Jason: I don't have to. I remember how you were in my arms.

Robin: I don't want to hear this. Take me back home.

Jason: Alcazar can take care of himself.

Robin: Of course he can.

Jason: Then why?

Robin: Why do I have to explain anything to you? You kidnapped me out of my own home.

Jason: I did ask.

Robin: And I said no.

Jason: That wasn't the answer I wanted.

Robin: I don't care what you want. They'll be people wondering where I went.

Jason: You mean Alcazar.

Robin: So what if he does? He cares for me.

Jason: He more than cares for you Robin.

Robin: I'm not going to discuss my relationship with Luis with you.

Jason: How deep is this relationship?

Robin: None of your business.

Jason: Everything about you is my business.

Robin: No. You gave up that right a long time ago. Just because we're on speaking terms again does not mean you can influence my life.

Jason: Is that what we are? Speaking terms?

Robin: We'll be back as strangers if you don't let me out.

Jason: You don't feel anything more for me?

Robin: Is this why you kidnapped me?

Jason: Answer my question Robin (Robin ignores Jason. She looks out the window. Jason looks at Robin.) I can't let you call Alcazar. But he knows you're safe.

Robin: How? Because I'm with you? (No answer from Jason) Jason if you hurt Luis, I'll never forgive you (Jason looks over at Robin, hurt.)

Jason: He's fine Robin.

Robin: Then let me see him.

Jason: No.

Robin: (frustrated) Why are you doing this? Just let me explain things to Luis and then I'll go with you.

Jason: What are you going to explain?

Robin: That there's nothing going on between us.

Jason: There isn't?

Robin: You know there isn't. I'm with Luis now.

Jason: But he's not here.

Robin: That doesn't change the fact that I am involved with Luis.

Jason: I can't let you see Alcazar.

Robin: (glares at Jason, mad) Whatever. I don't want anything from you anyway (Robin goes back to looking out the window. Jason glances over at Robin and sees the frustration on her face. He had to admit a part of him was glad that he got to her before Alcazar came back. Jason already knew what Alcazar went out to get. He used to make those nightly runs too. He remembered the look on Robin's face when he came back with the little brown bag. Jason didn't want to acknowledge the pain in his heart. Robin was sleeping with another man. The very thought caused Jason to grip the steering wheel harder. There was someone else who saw Robin's body, someone else who kiss her soft skin, someone else who she snuggles against. Jason can't get the image of Robin and Alcazar together out of his mind. He gets angry, as the image won't go away. Jason took a couple of deep breaths to get himself under control again. He looks over at Robin. She was asleep with her head leaning against the window. Jason's anger subsides. He pulls over the side, removes Robin's seatbelt and carefully moves Robin onto his lap. With one hand gently cradling Robin and the other on the wheel, Jason starts driving again.)

In the early morning of the next day, Jason pulls into the driveway. The sun was still behind the water. Jason looks down at Robin. He smiles tenderly. Jason got out of the car carefully with Robin in his arms. He makes his way inside the cabin. Jason heads to the bedroom and gently lay Robin down. Robin stirs slightly but rolled right back to sleep. Jason took off her shoes and covers her with blanket. He closed the door behind him. Jason came back outside, checked the windows and the door to make sure they were secured. Jason took out his phone and dials a number.

Luke: (groggily) Luke's is not open for business.

Jason: Luke, it's Jason.

Luke: (sits up) Hey. You guys okay?

Jason: Yes. Robin is sleeping. Will you let Mac know?

Luke: Sure. You need anything?

Jason: No.

Luke: Ok

Jason: Luke, could you ask Mac to let Alcazar know that Robin is okay?

Luke: I will buddy. Take care of our treasure.

Jason: I will. Bye (Jason slips the phone back into his pocket. He lays down on the couch and closed his eyes.)

Setting: Mac's house

Everyone at Mac's was awake and edgy. Alex is not comfortable with letting Anna meet David. Aidan was still irritated that Robin was with Jason. Anna and Mac were going over the details of the meeting. Dimitri was trying to keep peace between everyone. The phone rings.

Mac: Scorpio

Luke: The shipment arrived this morning.

Mac: Was everything intact?

Luke: No damages.

Mac: Good. When do you expect the next shipment?

Luke: Tomorrow. The vendor asks that you notify the buyer that the shipment is intact.

Mac: I can do that. Thanks for the call (Mac hangs up) Robin and Jason arrived this morning and they are both safe.

Anna: Thank god. I should call David (Anna picks up the phone and starts dialing) David Hayward room please.

David: Hello Anna. You were always an early riser.

Anna: What do you want David?

David: What makes you think I want something?

Anna: You're trying my patience.

David: I want to see you.

Anna: Why?

David: A husband wants to see his wife.

Anna: Ex-husband.

David: Is it a crime that I want to see you? Let me buy you breakfast.

Anna: I don't eat breakfast.

David: Lunch?

Anna: Get to point or I'll hang up.

David: I want to talk to you in private.

Anna: I'm busy today.

David: It won't take long.

Anna: Fine. I need to checkout a site. You can meet me there.

David: Where?

Anna: The construction site off of Highway 11 before you get to General Hospital. I'll be there at around 11:00.

David: I can't wait to see you Anna.

Anna: You get 15 minutes David. Be prompt (Anna hangs up.) He bought it.

Mac: That gives us an hour. Let's get you wired up.

Alex: Is there anything we can do?

Anna: It's safer for you to stay here. This wasn't exactly the visit you were planning for.

Dimitri: Don't apologize. We're happy just knowing you and Robin are safe. Go ahead. We'll be here waiting for you.

Aidan: I'm coming with you.

Anna: Absolutely not.

Aidan: I'm not letting you meet him alone.

Mac: We'll be able to see every move he makes Aidan.

Anna: Stay here with Alex and Dimitri. I don't want to have to worry about you.

Aidan: Fine but be careful.

Anna: I will

Alex: (goes to hug Anna) Be safe (Anna and Mac leave)

Dimitri: What does David want with Anna?

Aidan: He probably wants to beg her to take him back.

Alex: I don't think that's going to happen. She looks quite happy with Mac.

Setting: The cabin

Robin woke up and looked around the room. She didn't recognize the room. Then she remembered Jason. Robin got out of bed and made her way out to the living room. She sees Jason sleeping on the couch. Her heart melts seeing how uncomfortable he looks sleeping. His legs were too long for the couch so they were hanging on the side. Robin remembers back to last night. She knew that Jason got the wrong idea about her and Luis. But she was too angry to correct him. Jason has to realize that she is with someone else now. Robin really wanted to call Luis. She didn't want him to unnecessarily worry about her. Robin looked around the room and didn't see a phone anywhere. Robin remembered her bag and went back inside the bedroom. She opened up the bag but couldn't find her purse. Damn, Jason must have forgotten to grab it. Robin walked back out to the living room. Jason must have a phone on him. Robin walked softly over to Jason. She kneels down in front of him. He's so handsome, Robin thought looking at him.

She told herself to stop. Tentatively, Robin touches Jason's jacket. She couldn't feel a phone. Robin then softly touch Jason's front pants pocket. Nothing. It's got to be inside his jacket pocket, Robin thought. Robin leans forward and slowly extends her hand inside of Jason's jacket. Robin leans a little more forward when Jason arms reached around her and crushed her to him. Robin looks at Jason and thought she saw movement.

Robin: (a little angrily) Release me. I know you're awake.

Jason: (with a wide smile) How am I supposed to sleep with you groping me?

Robin: I was not groping you (tries to escape Jason's arms)

Jason: It sure looks like you were groping me.

Robin: Don't flatter yourself. I was reaching for your phone.

Jason: You could have just asked.

Robin: (stops her fidgeting) You would have given me your phone?

Jason: No (his answer anger Robin. She tries harder to get out of his arms.) Stop fighting me.

Robin: Release me.

Jason: You're so beautiful.

Robin: Don't try to distract me.

Jason: You distract me Robin. Being near you does all kinds of stuff to me (he smiles) you are so sexy when you're mad.

Robin: I'm not trying to be sexy. Will you release me now?

Jason: Can I have a kiss?

Robin: No.

Jason: A tiny kiss?

Robin: It's not funny anymore Jason.

Jason: (releases Robin) You must be hungry (Jason gets up from the couch and Robin steps away from him.) Do you want something to eat?

Robin: There's food here?

Jason: Not much. We'll need to go shopping later (heads over to kitchen and opens up the pantry.)

Robin: How long are you planning to keep me here?

Jason: Until it is safe for you to return.

Robin: You can't do this. I have a job. 2 jobs actually. The hospital needs me.

Jason: They'll have to survive without you. There's some Spam. I could fry some up.

Robin: I want to go home.

Jason: Do you want Spam?

Robin: (sighs) I'm too hungry to argue with you right now. I'll have some Spam (Robin walks over to the sliding doors. The view was breathtaking. Miles and miles of clear blue water stretch in front of her.) Where are we?

Jason: We're about 6 hours from Port Charles.

Robin: What city? (Jason doesn't answer) Who owns this place?

Jason: It's mine.

Robin: It is? (Robin walks back toward the kitchen and sits down by the counter) Why do you have this place?

Jason: I got it after you left.

Robin: Do you come here often?

Jason: I used to.

Robin: Why not anymore?

Jason: I couldn't get away from you.

Robin: (confused) I don't understand.

Jason: After you left, every place in Port Charles reminded me of you, Kelly's, Luke's, the bridge, the park, the docks, the penthouse, GH. I didn't want any reminder of you. I thought that I could get away from you here but after while even this place reminded me of you.

Robin: (surprise by Jason's confession) I thought you were busy with Carly.

Jason: Carly is not you.

Robin: I was glad for Paris. It helped me drown you out. Not all of the time but most of the time (Robin starts to eat her Spam) I can't remember the last time I had Spam. It's not bad.

Jason: (makes a face after taking a bite) We definitely need to go grocery shopping. You want to walk the grounds?

Robin: Sure.

Jason: I'm going to grab a quick shower and then we can go.

Robin: Save some hot water for me (goes back to eating her Spam. Jason shakes his head and heads to the bathroom.)

Setting: Construction site

Mac: Anna, can you hear me?

Anna: Yes.

Mac: Taggert spotted a car approaching the site. Remember to stay in the open.

Anna: I will.

Mac: Try not to stand too close to him.

Anna: (smiles at Mac's direction) I won't.

Mac: Be careful.

Anna: I will. I see his car.

Mac: Signal if you need us. Good luck.

David: (gets out of the car and walked toward Anna) Port Charles detectives are responsible for inspecting construction site now?

Anna: No we're not. We got a tip that there were activities going on here. What do you want David?

David: You look good Anna.

Anna: David.

David: We can't be civil to each other anymore?

Anna: You want to explain what the hell you were doing last night?

David: It was an open auction.

Anna: Why Robin?

David: She is my stepdaughter.

Anna: Was.

David: I see it didn't take you long to find someone. You are living with the Commissioner?

Anna: That's none of your business.

David: I don't want to fight with you Anna. I miss you. Please give me another chance.

Anna: You've got to be kidding! How many chances do you think you deserve?

David: I promise you no more secrets.

Anna: So there are secrets.

David: That's not what I'm saying.

Anna: I don't have time for this (turns to leave.)

David: (a little angry) You don't have time for your husband? Did you have time for our child?

Anna: (turns back and walks toward David. She looks him in the eyes and slaps him hard.) Don't you dare imply that I didn't take care of my child!

David: When? In between your cases, in between your time with the commissioner, in between filing for divorce from me?

Anna: (angrily) I may not have wanted you but I wanted my child.

David: My child! I gave it life.

Anna: The only thing you gave is lies. I gave you chances after chances to be straight with me. But you chose to lie. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself.

David: Anna, please! I need you in my life. Please give me another chance.

Anna: You used them all up.

David: Is it that easy for you?

Anna: It's easier than living with lies and deceits. I don't want to see you again David.

David: No Anna.

Anna: I want you to stay away from Robin. She has nothing to do with what happened.

David: She's all you care about.

Anna: She's my life. I will kill to protect her. I've done it before and I won't hesitate to do it again.

David: Including me?

Anna: I won't even blink (Anna walks away. David watches Anna walk away. After a few seconds, David got in the car and drove off.)

Mac: He's gone Anna. Are you okay?

Anna: I'm fine. I'll meet you back at the station.

Mac: Ok (Mac watches as Anna got in her car and drove off) Taggert?

Taggert: Yes commissioner?

Mac: Which direction did Hayward go?

Taggert: Looks like back to the hotel.

Mac: Could you follow him?

Taggert: No problem.

Setting: The cabin

Jason and Robin are walking along the beach after doing some grocery shopping. Neither is saying much. Both are lost in their own thoughts.

Robin: How long do we have to stay here?

Jason: Until it's safe for us to go back.

Robin: How long is that going to be?

Jason: I don't know.

Robin: I can't stay here. I have a job. The hospital needs me.

Jason: They'll have to survive without you.

Robin: What about you? You just started construction on the building. Can you afford to be away?

Jason: I've explained the situation to Julia. She wants you safe.

Robin: (frustrated, she stops walking and turns to Jason) Do I get a say? I don't want anyone to give up their life because of me. This needs to stop.

Jason: There's nothing to be done now.

Robin: I'm not going to accept this.

Jason: Just look at this as a mini vacation.

Robin: I can't. I need to work. You have a life Jason.

Jason: Do you hear me complaining?

Robin: Because you wouldn't. Look Jason, I really appreciate what you're doing but I don't want you to do this. You have your own life to worry about. My life shouldn't be a priority over yours.

Jason: (looks at Robin tenderly, she was so beautiful standing there with the sun behind her) Your life is important Robin.

Robin: So is yours. Just take me home. I'll ask Luis to take me out of town.

Jason: NO!

Robin: Why not?

Jason: He can't protect you like I can.

Robin: Jason, Luis has a lot of connections. I'll be safe with Luis.

Jason: I said no.

Robin: (gets a little angry) You don't get to decide my life Jason.

Jason: I'm protecting you.

Robin: I'm not asking you to. You're overstepping the bounds of friendship.

Jason: (angry at Robin's words) Overstepping my bounds? I'm trying to keep you safe Robin. If that's overstepping my bounds, then I don't care.

Robin: (she looks at Jason, frustrated) Why do you care what happens to me anyway? We're nothing but maybe friend. I won't be held responsible for ruining your life again (Robin walks away angrily. Jason was puzzled by Robin's statement. Jason rushes after Robin and stops her.)

Jason: How are you ruining my life Robin?

Robin: Look at where you're standing right now Jason.

Jason: (puzzled) I don't understand.

Robin: You have a professional and personal life that doesn't include me. I don't want you to give up either one of them up for me.

Jason: I told you I already spoke to Julia. She understands.

Robin: Why does she have to Jason? She hired you to do a job for her not to protect me.

Jason: What is this really about Robin?

Robin: I told you. I don't want you to uproot your life because of me.

Jason: I want to.

Robin: I don't want you to. I'm not asking you to.

Jason: I don't get it Robin. I didn't make you a priority in the past and I lost you. Now, I'm trying to prove to you how important you are to me and you're asking me not to. I'm confused.

Robin: The situation is different Jason. We're not together now. We're just friends.

Jason: And because we're friends I can't help you?

Robin: But at what price?

Jason: Price? What price? I don't get it Robin.

Robin: (takes a deep breath. She didn't want to say anything to Jason about this.) How did you explain your absent to Courtney?

Jason: (really confused now) Courtney? What does Courtney have to do with this?

Robin: You don't think Courtney deserves an explanation?

Jason: No I don't. Why would she?

Robin: You don't think your girlfriend needs to know why you've disappeared with another girl?

Jason: Girlfriend? Who said anything about Courtney being my girlfriend?

Robin: She's not?

Jason: (finally understands Robin) Courtney is not my girlfriend. She never was and never will be (Jason smiles at Robin.)

Robin: What do you mean?

Jason: Whoever told you that Courtney was my girlfriend is wrong.

Robin: But you told me.

Jason: I did not.

Robin: Well maybe not words for words.

Jason: What did I say exactly?

Robin: You've been spending a lot of time with Courtney. I just assumed that she was your girlfriend.

Jason: (smiles at Robin's fluster) I spend a lot of time with you too. Do you also assume to be my girlfriend?

Robin: Of course not! We're not talking about me.

Jason: Courtney is a friend. I see her sometimes because she doesn't have a lot of friends in Port Charles. Besides, she's Sonny sister. I almost feel obligated to lookout for her.

Robin: You don't have to explain anything to me.

Jason: I know I don't have to. I want to. Do you believe me when I tell that there's nothing going on between Courtney and I?

Robin: It doesn't matter to me really.

Jason: It does to me. I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

Robin: I'm sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion. It just looks like you guys were close. I mean you took her to the Nurse's Ball.

Jason: Courtney wanted to go. And I wanted to go. We just ended up going together. Nothing more.

Robin: (covers her face with hands) Ugh! I'm so embarrassed.

Jason: Is this why you've been acting this way?

Robin: (quiets for a few seconds) Sort of. It is true that I don't want you to turn your life upside down for me. But most of all I don't want to be a problem between you and Courtney.

Jason: You are not a problem Robin.

Robin: Promise me something.

Jason: What?

Robin: Promise me that if you and Courtney get together, you won't ever put me above her.

Jason: Courtney and I will never get together (Jason stated flatly.)

Robin: You never know what the future holds. Promise me Jason.

Jason: I can't make that promise Robin.

Robin: Why not?

Jason: Because you are the most important thing in my life.

Robin: (shocked by Jason's statement) What did you say?

Jason: It's the truth.

Robin: You shouldn't say that Jason.

Jason: I've never lied to you Robin. I'm not going to start now (Robin looks at Jason a little confused and walked away from Jason. This wasn't the reaction that Jason expected from Robin. He thought she would happy to hear this.)

Setting: Mac's office

Mac: How are you doing really?

Anna: How could I've judged so wrong? I don't recognize him anymore.

Mac: Don't blame yourself.

Anna: David is going after Robin because of me. How am I supposed to explain that to Robin?

Mac: Robin understands this is not your fault. David is the lunatic. Not you.

Anna: But I brought him into our lives.

Mac: Don't do this Anna. You were vulnerable and confused when you met David. You had just gotten your life back. He took advantage of that.

Anna: It wasn't all David's fault Mac.

Mac: Robin is safe with Jason. We need to figure what David's next step is and stop him.

Anna: You're right.

Mac: Anna, you're not alone in this. We'll here for you.

Anna: I know. Thank you.

Setting: David's hotel suite

David has been pacing since being back at his hotel suite. He can't figure out a way to handle Anna. Seeing her makes him want her again. There's a knock at the door.

David: What do you want?

Carly: (with her hands on her hip) What the hell are you doing here?

David: My business is not your concern.

Carly: It is if anyone finds out that I know you.

David: Then you shouldn't be here (Carly pushes her way inside.)

Carly: What's your hangup with the Scorpio women?

David: Isn't it a little late for you to be asking questions?

Carly: I won't go down with you.

David: Then I suggest you complete your end of the deal.

Carly: In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly pregnant.

David: I never guarantee that you become pregnant. I said the surgery would increase your chances of conceiving.

Carly: Our deal is off.

David: No! The deal is intact until Robin Scorpio is dead. Not before.

Carly: I almost went to jail because of her. I'm not going to risk my life again for you.

David: You don't have a choice.

Carly: I'll come clean with Sonny. He'll understand that I did all this for us.

David: Sonny is going to understand that you lied and manipulated him? Then to top it of, you agreed to try to kill his little sister? We can call him now if you think he will forgive you for everything.

Carly: Damn you!

David: Don't damn me. You agreed to the terms and I expect you to fulfill the terms.

Carly: I can't. I'm not allowed anywhere near Robin.

David: We'll find a way for you to be near Robin. Patience.

Carly: I want this done. I want to get on with me life.

David: You're not going to have a life if you don't fulfill your part of the agreement. Now, I suggest you don't come back here again. I'll find you when I need you (Carly looks at David and sees no emotion on his face. She walks out silently.)

Setting: Cabin

Jason decided to give Robin some time to herself before he heads back to the cabin. He didn't exactly know what to do next. He thought that Robin would be happy to know that she was important to him. Jason didn't expect the reaction that he got. After wandering around on the beach, Jason decides to head back to the cabin. When he opened the sliding door, there was a delicious aroma in the air. He looks over and sees Robin in the kitchen cooking.

Jason: Something smells good.

Robin: I figure I should make us something to eat beside Spam.

Jason: What are you making?

Robin: Lobster bisque and some bread.

Jason: You cultivated your cooking skills in Paris.

Robin: Somewhat. I didn't have a lot of time. But one of my roommates was a really good cook so he taught me to make some dishes.

Jason: He?

Robin: (smiles) Yes. Jean-Pierre was a genius in the classroom and in the kitchen.

Jason: He was a medical student?

Robin: Yes. Are you hungry?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: Have a seat (Jason sat at the counter and watches Robin. She sliced the hot bread that she made. It seems like she wasn't upset with him anymore. Robin placed the plate of bread on the counter.)

Jason: You need any help?

Robin: No I'm fine (Robin places a soup bowl in front of Jason and one for herself.) I hope you like it.

Jason: It's got to be better than Spam (Jason sips the soup) this is good.

Robin: Really?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: This is only the third time I made this.

Jason: Tell me more about Paris?

Robin: What do you want to know?

Jason: What did you do beside school and work?

Robin: I didn't have much time to do anything else. I went to the museums a lot, walked the bridges, and took pictures.

Jason: Were you lonely?

Robin: Not really. I missed Mac, Felicia and the girls. But I really didn't have time to dwell on it.

Jason: Tell me about Anna.

Robin: Where do I start? Alex found me in Paris. When I first saw her, I thought I was hallucinating. I thought she was Mom. Alex told me how she found Mom and that Mom was having problem with her memory. Alex brought me back to Pine Valley and I saw Mom.

Jason: You were in Pine Valley?

Robin: Only for a few days. It wasn't safe for me to be with Mom.

Jason: I can't believe Anna is alive all these years.

Robin: I can't either. We lost so much time together.

Jason: Is that why you decided to move back to Port Charles?

Robin: I wanted to be with Mom but we both decide to move back without knowing the other person's decision. I'm glad I've moved back. I have a family again. I didn't realize you much I miss Uncle Mac. Being near Uncle Mac makes me feel closer to my dad.

Jason: Then you're going to stay in Port Charles.

Robin: I haven't decided.

Jason: What's there to decide?

Robin: There's other factor involved.

Jason: Such as?

Robin: My job. I don't know if GH will offer me a position. I don't know if I'd stay if they did.

Jason: Will you stay if I ask you to?

Robin: Jason, I don't want to hurt you.

Jason: You would hurt me by leaving.

Robin: Let's not discuss this now. I don't feel up for another argument.

Jason: Ok. I don't either. What do you want to do?

Robin: (smiles) We could go down to the beach and build a bonfire.

Jason: (smiles back at Robin) We could do that.

Setting: Construction site

Julia is sitting at her desk looking over some papers. The last couple of days have been busy. She didn't realize how much she's come to depend on Jason's presence. She needs to return calls to contractors and inspectors. She was not looking forward to making any of those calls. The trailer door opens and Julia didn't pay any attention.

Aidan: I'm glad to see you back in town.

Julia: (surprise) Aidan, what are you doing here?

Aidan: I came to make arrangements for our date.

Julia: I don't think it's required that we go through with the date.

Aidan: I believe I won you fair and square (sits down on chair at Julia's desk.)

Julia: Did something changed? I thought you couldn't stand the sight of me.

Aidan: I was hoping to apologize over dinner.

Julia: Apologized? (Courtney walks inside the trailer which caught Julia's attention) can I help you?

Courtney: I'm looking for Jason Morgan.

Julia: Jason is not here.

Courtney: Isn't this where he works?

Julia: Yes, usually.

Courtney: Where can I find him?

Aidan: (finally speaks up) If he wanted you to know, he would have told you.

Courtney: How do you know Jason doesn't want me to know where he is?

Aidan: You're standing here aren't you?

Courtney: I need to find Jason. He's not at his apartment and he's not answering his phone. I'm worried about him.

Julia: If I hear from Jason I'll be sure to let him know that you stopped by.

Courtney: Ok. Thank you (she leaves).

Julia: What's with you?

Aidan: She's Corinthos sister and she's in love with Morgan. Both are very good reason for me to be annoyed with her.

Julia: How is Jason?

Aidan: Dead, hopefully.

Julia: Aidan! How can say such a thing?

Aidan: I'm not a fan of the guy. He hurt Robin and because of him, his nutty friend tried to kill Robin. I have no compassion for the guy.

Julia: I don't think Robin would want anything bad to happen to Jason.

Aidan: Her judgment is clouded right now. Once everything is cleared up, she'll see him for what he really is. Enough about Morgan, when should I pick you up?

Julia: For what?

Aidan: Date. Our date.

Julia: Are you sure this is a good idea? I can repay you for the donation.

Aidan: No. You owe me a dinner date.

Julia: Fine. Tonight about 7:00

Aidan: Where should I pick you up?

Julia: My place.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Johnny: Your sister is here to see you.

Sonny: Courtney? Send her in (Courtney walks in) Hi Courtney.

Courtney: (looking a little upset) Hi Sonny.

Sonny: Is something wrong?

Courtney: I've been looking for Jason. Do you know where he is?

Sonny: I haven't talk to him since the Nurse's Ball. What's wrong?

Courtney: I've been trying to get a hold of him. He hasn't returned any of my calls.

Sonny: He's probably out of town working. Did you check with Julia?

Courtney: I did. She wouldn't tell me anything.

Sonny: He didn't say anything to me.

Courtney: What did Jason say to you at the Nurse's Ball?

Sonny: He told me to meet him over at his place but he never showed up.

Courtney: You don't think that's strange?

Sonny: Not for Jason. He probably got tied up.

Courtney: I'm worried Sonny. Jason usually calls me back.

Sonny: I'm sure he'll show up in a couple of days.

Courtney: Why aren't you worried? Do you know what's going on?

Sonny: I don't know.

Courtney: Does this have to do with Robin?

Sonny: Why would you say that?

Courtney: I can't think of any other reason why he wouldn't call me back.

Sonny: I warned you Courtney.

Courtney: Warned me about what?

Sonny: That Jason wasn't over Robin.

Courtney: You don't know that.

Sonny: I don't want to hurt you but it's the truth. Jason told me that he still loves Robin. He always has.

Courtney: (shakes her head at Sonny) I don't believe you.

Sonny: Jason confessed his feeling to me a couple of months after Robin came back into town.

Courtney: I know Jason has feelings for me.

Sonny: Look at the facts Courtney. Jason quit the organization. He moved out of the penthouse. He's going to school to get his architect license. He's working for a legit company. He's doing all of this to prove to Robin that he's changed, that he's a better person with her in his life, and that he loves her more than anything else in his life.

Courtney: How could he want to be with someone who won't accept him for who he is?

Sonny: Robin has always accepted Jason for who he is. What she didn't accept was being second and third to everything else in his life.

Courtney: (looks like she's about to cry) But Robin is with Luis now.

Sonny: It won't stop Jason from loving Robin. I'm sorry Courtney. I warned you that Jason wasn't free.

Courtney: I know Jason has feelings for me. He took me to the Nurse's Ball.

Sonny: Are you sure you're not mistaking his intentions? He's protective of you because you're my sister.

Courtney: Are you saying that Jason only cares for me because I'm your sister? (Tears roll down her face) No I refused to believe that. I saw how he looks at him. I'm not wrong.

Sonny: I don't know what to say.

Courtney: I shouldn't have come here. I should have known that you would side with Robin instead of me, your own blood sister (Courtney rushes out of the penthouse. As she got to the elevator, Carly was there.)

Carly: Courtney, what's wrong? Why are you crying?

Courtney: I don't want to talk about it.

Carly: (goes to Courtney) You can talk to me. Did you and Sonny have a fight?

Courtney: Sonny was setting me straight on the facts.

Carly: What facts?

Courtney: That Jason loves Robin.

Carly: (her ears perk up hearing Jason and Robin) Let's go for a walk (they head into the elevator together.)

Setting: The cabin

Robin: (walks out the bedroom with articles of clothing in her hands) Do you realize what you packed for me?

Jason: (looking up from his travel book) I didn't have any help.

Robin: These bathing suits don't match and all the other clothes are shorts and tank tops.

Jason: (smiles) I did pretty well.

Robin: Jason, I'm not going to wear these things.

Jason: Why not? They were in your closet.

Robin: These bathing suits aren't suitable to be seen in. I only wear them to lie out in the backyard.

Jason: Consider the beach the backyard.

Robin: It's not the same thing. You're here.

Jason: Robin, I've seen you in a lot less.

Robin: It's different now (growing a little red)

Jason: How?

Robin: Well we're not together anymore.

Jason: How does that change things?

Robin: It just does. You don't walk around wearing just your boxers, do you?

Jason: I could if it would make you more comfortable (enjoying Robin's shyness).

Robin: Of course it wouldn't make me more comfortable. You're missing the point.

Jason: The point is I've seen you naked Robin. I can close my eyes and see you naked.

Robin: (really blushing now) Jason! Don't say that.

Jason: What? It's the truth.

Robin: It doesn't mean you need to say it. It makes me feel self-conscious.

Jason: You can borrow my t-shirt.

Robin: (looks suspiciously at Jason) Did you do this on purpose?

Jason: You've seen me pack Robin (trying not to laugh) I just throw things in a bag.

Robin: I want to get some sun so I'm going to put on one of these suit. But I want you to stay inside while I'm outside.

Jason: Are you serious?

Robin: Yes.

Jason: How do you know I don't want to get some sun?

Robin: You can after I'm finished. (Robin walks back inside the bedroom. Jason smiles at Robin's back. He wasn't planning to let the subject drop like that. After a while, Robin comes back out wearing a thin strap tank top and shorts. Jason looks appreciatively at Robin.)

Jason: I thought you were going to get some sun.

Robin: I am (Robin walks out toward the beach. Jason follows Robin but stops at the sliding door. He watches as Robin makes her way down toward the water. Robin spreads out her towel and starts to take off her tank. Jason watches anxiously as Robin takes off her shorts. Jason couldn't take his eye off of Robin. Her body was molded nicely inside the barely there bikini. Jason watches intently as Robin spread some oil on her body, his breath caught in his throat. His body was coming alive watching Robin. She was more beautiful than he remembered. He couldn't move. Nothing could make him move from the spot.)

Setting: Outside the penthouse

Courtney: Thank you for talking to me.

Carly: I hope it helped.

Courtney: It did.

Carly: Good. Just do what I told you and Jason will come around eventually.

Courtney: You think so?

Carly: It worked for me until I found Sonny.

Courtney: I'm glad we're sisters.

Carly: So am I. Why don't you head on home? I'll try to find out from Sonny where Jason is. I'll call you.

Courtney: Ok. Thanks Carly (Carly smiles deviously as she watches Courtney walk away.)

Setting: Mac's office

Taggert: (walking in) I got something Commissioner.

Mac: (looks up from his desk) What?

Taggert: The hotel camera picked up Carly going inside Hayward's room.

Mac: When?

Taggert: Yesterday after his meeting with Anna.

Mac: So they do know each other. I don't understand the connection.

Taggert: I snooped around the hospital. Carly has been in the hospital several times the last year. She usually sees Dr. Meadows.

Mac: Dr. Meadows is an OBGYN.

Taggert: Yes.

Mac: Carly must be trying to conceive. That's it! That's the connection Taggert. I can't believe we didn't figure this out before.

Taggert: I don't understand.

Mac: I know. I need to find Anna. I'll explain everything to you Taggert. Thank you for your help in this case.

Taggert: No problem (Mac rushes out of his office.)

Setting: The beach/cabin

Robin was lying peacefully and enjoying the feel of the sun against her body when a shadow cast on her. Robin lazily opens her eyes. When she realizes it was Jason, she hastily covers herself with a towel.

Robin: Jason, I thought we agreed you would stay inside.

Jason: (giving Robin a full smile) You agreed. I didn't say anything.

Robin: (still trying to cover herself) Now you tell me.

Jason: You've been out here too long.

Robin: The sun feels so good.

Jason: Can I join you?

Robin: No (still trying to hide herself under the towel) I can't very well tan if I'm all covered up.

Jason: Then uncover yourself.

Robin: We've already discussed this Jason.

Jason: You're looking a little flushed. Maybe you should come in.

Robin: Fine. Go first. I'll be right behind you. (Jason heads back to the cabin. Robin hurriedly puts on her clothing and follows Jason.) I'm hungry.

Jason: That's a surprise.

Robin: Hey!

Jason: Go wash up and I'll make us something.

Robin: Something good?

Jason: I could make us nothing.

Robin: Touchy aren't we? (Jason raises his eyebrows at Robin. Robin laughs and heads to the bathroom.)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac hastily walks inside the house.

Mac: Anna? Anna, are you here? (Walking around the kitchen and then to the stairs)

Anna: (walking down the stairs) Mac. What's wrong?

Mac: Carly. She's trying to conceive.

Anna: What? How do you know this?

Mac: Taggert has been snooping around the hospital. Carly has been there a few times to see Dr. Meadows.

Anna: Dr. Meadows?

Mac: An OBGYN.

Anna: (her eyes wide) That's the link to David!

Mac: That's not all. The hotel camera picked up Carly going into David's room yesterday.

Anna: So Carly went to David for help conceiving. What does David want in return?

Mac: Robin.

Anna: You don't think that David wanted Carly to kill Robin, do you?

Mac: It's makes sense. If Jason didn't find Robin on the day of her mugging, she could have died out there in the cold. The accident was planned.

Anna: David tried to kill Robin (Anna's expression turns cold) I'll never forgive him for this.

Mac: What are you thinking Anna?

Anna: I can't let him get away with this. Robin almost died twice Mac.

Mac: I want him too but we have to do this legally Anna.

Anna: I don't care about the law Mac (Anna paces) he went after my child

Mac: Robin would not want you to jeopardize your life for her. She just got you back (Anna stops pacing.)

Anna: What are you planning?

Mac: We need to setup a trap for David.

Anna: But that means Robin will be in danger.

Mac: Yes. But Robin is smart. She knows how to take care of herself.

Anna: How do we know David will bite?

Mac: He must be desperate if he's here in Port Charles. It's time that Robin comes home.

Anna: (worried) Mac, are you sure about this?

Mac: Robin can't continue living like this. I refuse to let Hayward cast a shadow over her life. She's been through enough.

Anna: Let's do this (Mac nods to Anna and takes out his phone).

Luke: Luke's

Mac: Will you ask the vendor to personally deliver the shipment tomorrow?

Luke: What changed?

Mac: Customer is getting impatient.

Luke: We'll do then.

Mac: Thanks (hangs up the phone) Luke will make contact with Jason.

Setting: The cabin

Robin slowly walked out of the bathroom. Her body was so sore. She saw how red her shoulders and arms were in the mirror. She makes her way to be bed and lie down. In the kitchen, Jason was finished with making them some spaghetti. He didn't really know what else to make. He was wondering where Robin was. He heard the shower stopped 15 minutes ago. Curious, Jason walks to the bedroom. The door was open.

Jason: Robin? (Jason steps in and sees Robin asleep on the bed. He goes to bed and sits down. Jason noticed that Robin's face was flushed. Concerned, Jason touched his hand to Robin's forehead. She didn't feel warm.)

Robin: (feeling Jason's hand on her forehead, wakes up) Jason (sounding hoarse)

Jason: Robin, what's wrong? You're all flushed and your voice sounds dry.

Robin: I'm so sore. I think I have bad sunburn.

Jason: Let me see (Jason slowly lifts up Robin's shirt. He winced when he saw how red Robin's stomach was.) I'm going to take off your shirt Robin (Robin nods and Jason carefully takes off Robin's shirt. Robin's shoulders and chests were very red. He carefully helps Robin lie back down.) I need to go get some cream for your sunburn (Jason hastily walks to the bathroom to get the cream and comes back.) Robin, I need to take off your pants and check your legs.

Robin: My legs hurt too Jason.

Jason: I know. I'll be gentle (Jason slowly takes off Robin's pants. Her legs weren't in any better conditions than the rest of her body. Jason takes the cream and slowly applies it over Robin's legs. Jason tried to concentrate on rubbing the cream but being near Robin was causing his body to stir. Finally Jason was finished. Now for the rest of Robin's body.) Robin, can you sit up for me? (Robin nods and Jason helps Robin to sit up. Jason takes some cream and spreads it on Robin's arms, shoulders, her chest and down her stomach. He hesitates a little when he applied the cream on Robin's chest. Jason was trying not to look at Robin's delicate lace bra. She's sick, Jason thought. Jason finally finished rubbing cream on Robin's back.) Do you feel better with the cream?

Robin: (smiles weakly) Yes

Jason: Let me apply some on your face (Jason tenderly applies some cream on Robin's forehead. Jason watches Robin's face intently as his hands moves along her cheekbones. Robin watches the expression changes on Jason's face. She could feel her heartbeat quickens. Jason eyes made contact with Robin's. They look at each other without saying anything. Jason slowly finished applying the cream without looking away from Robin's eyes. Jason could feel himself being drawn in Robin's eyes. He leans in closer to Robin. When Robin didn't move, Jason leaned in further. With their lips inches from each other, Robin closed the gap. Robin tenderly traces her tongue along Jason's lips, which caused Jason to groan. Jason couldn't stand it any further so he took Robin's lips in a crushing kiss. Robin wrapped her arms around Jason while Jason sweetly held Robin's face between his hands. They continue kissing and caressing each other's tongues and lips.) Do you know what you do to me Robin? (Robin continues to kiss Jason. Jason hands wander over Robin's body. His hands reacquainting and learning Robin's body again. He couldn't stop touching her. He didn't want to stop. After awhile, they separate a little. Jason looks at Robin to see if she regretted kissing him.) Robin?

Robin: (smiles sweetly) I don't think I could blame the sun for my actions (Robin looks at Jason again. This was the Jason she fell in love with. This sweet, gentle, loving person.) I don't regret us kissing Jason (Jason let out a sign of relief) but we can't continue.

Jason: (disappointed) You're with Luis.

Robin: Yes. I can't hurt Luis Jason. He's been good to me (Jason helps Robin put her shirt back on. Jason then put Robin's pants back on.) You do understand, don't you Jason?

Jason: (looks sadly at Robin) I understand that I was stupid to ever let you and now I'm paying for it (Robin didn't know how to respond) I made us some spaghetti. Do you want me to bring it in for you?

Robin: No, I feel a little better. I'll come out (Robin watches Jason leaves. She didn't want to hurt Jason but she didn't have a choice. She was with Luis. He had to come first. Robin slowly got off the bed.)

Robin fell asleep on the couch right after she finished eating. Jason didn't have the heart to wake her so he carried her to bed. Jason stayed with Robin and watched her sleep. Jason realized that this would probably be the last time that he would get to watch her sleep. It was probably the last time that they would be alone together. He didn't want to waste it by sleeping. He wanted to spend it with Robin, even if she was asleep. Jason didn't want to accept that Robin was no longer his. She was with someone else now. He had only himself to blame for that. How was he going to live in Port Charles knowing Robin was with someone else? What was he supposed to do when he saw them together? How was he supposed to react? What happens if she decides to marry Alcazar? Jason groans to himself. She would be someone else wife. Jason was torturing himself with these thoughts. But he couldn't help it (Jason's phone rings)

Jason: Morgan.

Luke: How are you doing?

Jason: Fine. What's going on?

Luke: Mac wants you to bring Robin home.

Jason: Why? Is David gone?

Luke: Mac didn't give me details.

Jason: Ok. We'll be there later today.

Luke: I'll let Mac know

Jason: Thanks Luke (Jason hangs up the phone and looks over at Robin. His time with her was running out. He walks over to Robin and sits down on the bed. She wasn't as red as before. Jason leans down to kiss Robin on the forehead. As he was getting up, Robin turns toward him and had her hand around his waist. Not wanting to wake Robin, Jason slide down and lay next to Robin. Jason watches Robin sleeps. She looks so peaceful. He wanted to watch her sleep forever. Jason gathers Robin closer to him and closed his eyes.)

The morning sun shines through the window at Robin and Jason. Robin groggily wakes up. She stops when she saw that she was in Jason's arms. She doesn't remember how she got there. I can't be this sick, Robin thought. Robin looks back at Jason. She softly smiles. He was so beautiful. She remembers how she loves watching him sleep. He barely moves in his sleep. Tempted, Robin tenderly touches Jason's cheek with her hand. Jason smiles.

Jason: Good morning.

Robin: Good morning.

Jason: How are you feeling?

Robin: Better. I don't remember going to bed.

Jason: You fell asleep on the couch so I carried you in (Robin looks questionably at Jason) you had your hand around me and I didn't want to wake you up. Are you mad at me?

Robin: (smiles) No. It was nice to wake up with you again.

Jason: (happy and sad to hear Robin's words) We have to head back.

Robin: When?

Jason: In a little bit (they continue to lie in bed facing each other) Robin.

Robin: Yes?

Jason: I know that you're with someone else now. But I love you and I don't know how to stop (Robin was about to say something but Jason lays a finger over Robin's lips) I've loved you my entire life Robin. I know that I've made you doubt my love for you. But I promise you Robin, I have always loved you above all things. These last 4 years I have walked through life without a care for tomorrow. I didn't have a reason to live. Seeing you again made me realize how empty my life has been. Loving you has made me a better person. I see Monica and Alan as my parents and not just people. I don't exactly like AJ but I do understand that he's my brother. I'm out of the organization. I would never have the courage to do some of these things without you in my life. You give me courage Robin. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't want to stop loving you Robin because you are the best thing that ever happened to me (Jason finished with tears in his eyes.)

Robin: (with also tears running down her face) I don't know what to say Jason (Robin slides closer to Jason and embraces him tightly) I will always see you as the man who gave me the courage to continue life. I'm so glad to have you in my life again (they held each other tightly without saying anything. Both understand that their time together was over.)

Setting: Mac's house

Robin's opens the door for Jason. Anna and Mac were waiting for them.

Anna: You're home (Anna hugs Robin)

Robin: Hi Mom.

Anna: You got a tan.

Robin: (smiles) Yes. Jason had us staying at the beach. Hi Uncle Mac (Robin hugs Mac)

Mac: I'm glad you're home. Hi Jason.

Jason: Mac. Why did you want us home? (They all go to sit down in the living room)

Mac: I don't know how much you want to hear.

Jason: What do you mean?

Mac: Carly is involved.

Jason: Carly is no longer a part of my life (Robin looks over at Jason, surprised.)

Mac: We spotted her going into Hayward's room.

Robin: Carly knows David? How?

Anna: We believe that David is helping Carly trying to conceive.

Robin: That's why she was in Mexico the same time as David. What does David want in return?

Mac: He wants you Robin. He's using Carly to get to you.

Jason: David helps Carly conceive in return Carly kills Robin for David. But why would David want Robin dead?

Anna: Because of me.

Robin: Mom, don't blame yourself for any of this. You don't dictate David's action (Anna squeezes Robin's hand) what do we do now?

Mac: We want to draw David out.

Jason: You're going to use Robin as bait (Jason looks between Mac and Anna and got his answer) NO!

Robin: Wait Jason. Let's hear what Uncle Mac's plan is.

Mac: David has to be getting desperate if he's here in Port Charles. He's ready for his next move and he must need Carly's help somehow. Robin I want you to go about your daily routine. Taggert will plan a tracking device in your car and your phone. I'll have undercover detectives guard you. We need to make sure that David doesn't realize anything is out of the normal.

Jason: It's still too risky. There are places that Robin goes where the detectives can't follow. She'll be vulnerable.

Anna: You are right Jason. There are risks involved.

Robin: I can do this. I'll be more alert.

Jason: (he looks at Robin with worries) No, Robin. It's still too dangerous. We'll find another way.

Robin: This sounds like the best way. I trust Mom and Uncle Mac to protect me. I promise I'll be careful.

Jason: I want to be involved in this.

Anna: We're hoping your closeness to Robin will be the catalyst for Carly's actions. You've cleaned up your life so we don't want you too involved. But I think we can play on Carly's jealousy over you and Robin.

Jason: What do you want me to do?

Mac: Robin, you might want to discuss with Luis about this. But I think if you guys make appearances together where Carly can see you, it should do the trick.

Robin: You mean like lunch, dinner?

Mac: Yes something casual.

Robin: When do we start?

Mac: Now. Taggert has already planted the bug in your car. I need your phone.

Robin: It's upstairs.

Mac: It's very important that you keep your phone with you at all times Robin.

Robin: I understand.

Mac: The detectives already know who you are. Everything is set. Do you have any questions Robin?

Robin: I guess not.

Anna: Honey, we won't have to do this for very long.

Robin: I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Mac: Jason, try to stay away from David. You're not supposed to know anything.

Jason: Ok. I guess I better get going.

Robin: I'll walk you out.

Anna: Bye Jason. Thank you for your help.

Jason: You're welcome (Jason and Robin walk outside) are you okay with this?

Robin: Yes. Don't worry. Uncle Mac and Mom won't let anything happen to me.

Jason: I won't either.

Robin: (smiles) I know.

Jason: Call me if you need anything Robin.

Robin: I will.

Jason: Bye Robin (Robin watches Jason leaves)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny: (sees Carly walking in) You're home early.

Carly: (goes to sit on the couch) They took pity on us.

Sonny: Can I get you anything?

Carly: No, I'm fine. You know I haven't seen Jason in awhile. How is he?

Sonny: Fine. He's busy with work.

Carly: He doesn't come here anymore.

Sonny: You know why Carly.

Carly: He could at least come and see you and Michael.

Sonny: It's easier for Jason if I go to his place.

Carly: I can't believe I've lost Jason. He's my best friend.

Sonny: I warned you Carly.

Carly: I just can't believe that Jason would take it this far. It's not like he and the Saint are together or anything.

Sonny: Jason loves Robin. It's understandable that he doesn't want to see her hurt.

Carly: Sonny, tell me how I can make it right between Jason and me.

Sonny: I can't help you.

Carly: Maybe I should stop over Jason's apartment. Is he home?

Sonny: I don't really know (Sonny's phone ring) Yeah?

Jason: It's me.

Sonny: What can I do for you?

Jason: Can you drop over my place?

Sonny: Sure. I have to head out to a meeting anyway.

Jason: Ok. See you in a bit.

Sonny: Yeah (hangs up) I've got to go.

Carly: How long will you be gone?

Sonny: I don't know (he leaves. Carly waits a few minutes before going to the door.)

Carly: Johnny, have you seen Jason?

Johnny: No I haven't.

Carly: Can you see if you can find him for me? I need to speak to him (Carly walks back inside) where are you Jason? (Carly grabs her purse and leaves.)

Setting: Luis hotel suite

Luis: (opens the door) Well hello stranger

Robin: (with a big smile) Hi you (she gives Luis a kiss)

Luis: You have a very nice glow.

Robin: Yes but it came with excruciating pain (they go to sit down on the couch.) Did Mac tell you where I was?

Luis: Yes, he said you were with Jason.

Robin: Are you upset with me?

Luis: It was for your protection.

Robin: Luis, I didn't know that Mac planned to have Jason take me away like that. I would have told you if I knew.

Luis: You don't need to explain.

Robin: But I want to.

Luis: It doesn't matter. I'm just glad that you're safe.

Robin: You are too good to me.

Luis: Since you're back, does this mean that everything is fine?

Robin: Not really. Mac and Mom have a plan and they need me my help.

Luis: I don't like the sound of this.

Robin: Mac planted a tracking device in my car and my phone. I also have undercover agents trailing me. I'm safe.

Luis: What kind of a life is that Robin?

Robin: It's not for long. There's something else.

Luis: What?

Robin: Jason and I will probably have to spend time together in public.

Luis: Jason? Why?

Robin: Mac believes that Carly is involved. Mac wants to play on Carly's jealousy.

Luis: Do I get to spend anytime with you?

Robin: (smiles) Of course. I'm not ending things with you Luis. I want you to know what's going on.

Luis: I guess my jealousy is showing.

Robin: You have nothing to worry about. Jason and I are just friends. Jason knows that I'm with you.

Luis: How did he take that?

Robin: Not well. Are you going to be okay with this?

Luis: (smiles softly at Robin) You are my concern.

Robin: And you are my concern. I've missed you.

Luis: I missed you (Luis leans in to kiss Robin tenderly) next time don't stay away so long.

Robin: I was only gone for 2 days.

Luis: Still too long (Luis kiss Robin again.)

Setting: GH nurse station

Amy: You look refreshed.

Robin: Hi Amy. I guess I was worn out from the Ball and work.

Amy: It's actually been kind of quiet here.

Robin: Good. It'll give me a chance to catch up on the paperwork.

Amy: Why don't you head into the break room? I'll call if anything comes up.

Robin: Thank you Amy (Robin heads into the break room as Carly gets off the elevator. Amy makes a face seeing Carly.)

Carly: Do you know where my mother is?

Amy: Well hello to you to Carly.

Carly: Yeah, hello.

Amy: What were you asking me?

Carly: Have you seen my mother?

Amy: Hum? You know I can't say I have but then again I'm not her secretary (Amy walks off.)

Carly: Bitch! (Carly was about to leave when Bobbie walked around the corner.)

Bobbie: Carly!

Carly: (turns to Bobbie) Hi.

Bobbie: What are you doing here?

Carly: I had the rest of the day off. I thought I come have a late lunch with you.

Bobbie: Oh, that's nice.

Carly: It's quiet today.

Bobbie: Yes but I'm not complaining. Let me just grab my purse in the break room (Bobbie and Carly walk to the break room.)

Carly: So where's the Saint doctor? (Speaking just as Bobbie opens the door. Robin looks up from the table. Carly looks almost embarrassed.)

Bobbie: (tries to cover to Carly) Hi Robin. How were your days off?

Robin: (not in the mood to do battle) Fine. Thank you for asking (she goes back to her chart. Bobbie grabbed her purse from the locker and leaves with Carly.)

Carly: What's her problem?

Bobbie: Leave it alone Carly.

Carly: What?

Bobbie: I'm sure Robin heard your comment.

Carly: Whatever. I guess she didn't enjoy her days off. Wonder if she went anywhere?

Bobbie: Why would you care Carly?

Carly: I don't, just curious. You know I just remembered that AJ was planning on bringing Michael by today. Do you mind if I cancel on you?

Bobbie: Now you remember about Michael?

Carly: I had a rough day. Bye (starts to walk off) I'll call you.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason: (opens the door) Thanks for coming.

Sonny: No problem. What's going on?

Jason: I wanted to ask you something.

Sonny: What?

Jason: What's going on with Carly?

Sonny: What do you mean?

Jason: Has she been weird, agitated, nervous?

Sonny: No. What are you getting at? (Jason doesn't answer) What's going on Jason? Is this about Robin?

Jason: Mac doesn't think Robin is out of danger.

Sonny: And you think Carly is the reason?

Jason: She did try to kill Robin.

Sonny: And she's paying for that. Something else is going on. What is it?

Jason: I have this feeling that something is going to happen to Robin. I can't put my finger on it.

Sonny: Have you seen Robin?

Jason: Yes.

Sonny: That reminds me. Courtney came looking for you. What's going on between you 2?

Jason: Nothing.

Sonny: Nothing? Are you sure?

Jason: What do you mean?

Sonny: Courtney seems to think otherwise.

Jason: Then she's misunderstood. I've told her from the beginning that we can't be anything more than friends.

Sonny: You might want to talk to her again. I don't want Courtney to get caught in the middle of all of this.

Jason: I'll talk to her.

Setting: Brenda's office

Robin: (walks in with a smile) Hey you.

Brenda: (looks up from her desk) Robin (rushes toward Robin and hugs her) you're back. Ooh, nice tan.

Robin: Thank you.

Brenda: So how was the getaway?

Robin: Fine.

Brenda: Fine? Robin details!

Robin: Not much to say.

Brenda: I need to get you drunk. Then you'll spill.

Robin: (laughs) How are things going with you?

Brenda: Wedding plans, work.

Robin: How can I help?

Brenda: You don't have to time to help.

Robin: I'm your maid of honor. It's my duty to do all the work for you.

Brenda: Then schedule some time for a photo shoot. We're approaching winter campaign.

Robin: That's work. What about the wedding?

Brenda: I can take care of that if I don't have to worry about the campaign.

Robin: Ok. I'll schedule with Lucky.

Brenda: Thank you, thank you. So it looks like Aidan and Julia worked things out.

Robin: Really? I was only gone 2 days.

Brenda: I saw them yesterday and I swear Julia was giddy.

Robin: That's great.

Brenda: Aidan is a charmer when he wants to be.

Robin: Have you guys set a date?

Brenda: August Second.

Robin: That's only a month away.

Brenda: I don't want to wait Robin. It's not going to be a lavish affair, something small and intimate.

Robin: Where?

Brenda: That we haven't figure out.

Robin: What? It's only a month away Brenda.

Brenda: I know.

Robin: You could have the ceremony at the cottage. The garden is beautiful with flowers now. It's close to home.

Brenda: Why didn't I think of that? That's a great idea.

Robin: See, I can be of help.

Brenda: It's perfect. We setup a tent for the reception and have the ceremony outside be the creek. I can picture it Robin.

Robin. It'll be beautiful.

Brenda: Yes. I'm really excited Robin. Jax and I will truly belong together.

Robin: Nothing is going to stop you guys this time.

Brenda: I won't let it.

Setting: Kelly's

Liz: So how are things with you guys?

Emily: We're not rushing into anything. We like spending time with each other.

Liz: I haven't seen much of Nicholas these days. Where is he?

Emily: Cassadine business.

Liz: Ugh, that doesn't sound fun.

Emily: Did you notice that Jason took Courtney to the Nurse's Ball? I didn't know anything was going on between them. Did you?

Liz: Courtney has been pining away for Jason since she got here. I don't think Jason sees her as anything more than friends.

Emily: She was married to AJ when she got here.

Liz: What can I say? (At that moment Carly and Courtney walk in) guess who just showed up?

Emily: (turns to door and back to Liz) It can't be good if she's hanging with Carly.

Liz: I know what you mean. What would they have to talk about? I better go take their orders (Emily nods at Liz walks over to Carly and Courtney's table) What can I get you?

Courtney: Hi Liz (Liz smiles politely back at Courtney) I'll have a tuna sandwich and an ice tea.

Carly: Black coffee.

Liz: I'll be back with your orders in a minute (Liz walks off)

Carly: I'm so glad Jason dropped her. She's even more annoying than the Saint.

Courtney: Why do you call Robin that?

Carly: Because she thinks she's perfect. She's irritating.

Courtney: But a lot of people in this town like her.

Carly: They feel pity for her.

Courtney: You mean because she's HIV.

Carly: That and she lost so many people to death. She makes me want to puke (Liz brings them their order.)

Liz: (with a polite smile) Anything else?

Courtney: No thank you (Liz walks off) What is Jason's draw to her?

Carly: I can't for the life of me figure that out. When they first got together, she wouldn't sleep with him. That's kind of how Jason and I got together. Then she left to go to school and then came back. She had Jason on a string and he would always come back to her.

Courtney: So what happened between them?

Carly: Robin went behind Jason's back and told AJ that Michael was his child. Jason took it as betrayal and dumped her.

Courtney: Just like that?

Carly: Pretty much. You have to understand, Jason saw Michael and I as his family. He loved us. The Saint was jealous because she couldn't give Jason a child.

Courtney: How is Sonny involved in this?

Carly: She went to Sonny for comfort and Sonny threw her out. He couldn't accept her betraying Jason. Sonny took it as she was betraying him also.

Liz: (looking over at Carly and Courtney) You know I don't like it that they're together.

Emily: You mean who would be crazy enough to be friends with Carly.

Liz: Yeah. What did AJ ever see in either one of them?

Emily: We'll have to ask him one day (Robin and Jason walk into Kelly's laughing together) Well, well (Liz and Emily look over at Jason and Robin. Carly and Courtney were glaring at Robin.)

Robin: Are you sure I'm not keeping you away from work?

Jason: I needed to eat.

Courtney: When did Jason get back? He didn't even call me.

Carly: Why don't you go over there and ask him?

Courtney: I will (she walks over to Jason and Robin) Hi Jason.

Jason: Courtney.

Courtney: When did you get back? I left messages on your answering machine.

Jason: (not really looking at Courtney) A few days ago.

Courtney: You could of at least called. I was worried (a little mad that Jason was ignoring her.)

Jason: I was busy.

Liz: (walks over to their table) Hi Robin, hi Jason.

Robin: (smiles at Liz) Hi.

Jason: Hi Elizabeth. Robin what do you want to eat? (Ignoring Courtney)

Robin: Cheeseburger, fries and a coke.

Jason: Same for me. Thank you Liz.

Liz: No problem (Emily walks over)

Emily: Hey you 2. Aren't you supposed to be at work?

Jason: Robin came by and invited me to lunch. I couldn't turn her down.

Robin: Don't blame me. I came to see how the building was going and Jason invited me to lunch (Courtney witnessed the exchange and was growing irritated)

Emily: I'm glad to see you both but I have to leave for class (Emily hugs Jason and then Robin) we need to get together and discuss Brenda's bridal shower.

Robin: I know. I'm such a bad maid of honor.

Liz: That's why we're here. I don't mind helping.

Robin: You guys are the best.

Emily: Bye you guys (Emily leaves)

Liz: Here's your food. Let me know if you need anything else.

Robin: Thanks Elizabeth (notices that Courtney was still at their table) did you want to speak to Jason alone? I could leave (Courtney was about to answer but Jason interrupts)

Jason: No. Courtney and I can talk later (Courtney just looks at Jason) I'm here to have lunch with you.

Courtney: (speechless that Jason was treating her this way) I'll call you later (but Jason doesn't acknowledge her so she walks away.)

Robin: I think Courtney wanted to talk to you Jason.

Jason: It can wait. I'm here with you.

Robin: Tell me about the building (Jason starts talking)

Courtney: (still upset) He pretty much ignored me.

Carly: Don't be discourage. Jason will come around. We just need to make sure to find a way so you guys can spend more time together (Carly looks over at Jason and Robin. She looks annoyed to see Jason with Robin.) There's no way I'm letting that Saint have Jason.

And so the next week or so Jason and Robin made appearances in public together. Robin was careful not to be alone with Jason. Since being back from the cabin, Robin has found herself thinking a lot about Jason. Every time she did, she felt guilty. Jason on the other can't stop thinking about Robin. But Jason hid his feelings from Robin. He put on the act of them being friends. But what he really wanted to do was take Robin in his arms and kiss her. The more time Jason was spending with Robin, the more he misses her. He finds himself looking forward to seeing Robin again. Courtney has been making herself available to Jason. She surprises him with lunch or drops by his apartment to see what he was doing. She tries to get involve in Jason's designs. Mac and Anna wait none too patiently for David to make his move. Mac tries to keep Anna calm but fails sometimes. Brenda's wedding was drawing close. Robin and Julia are doing their duties of helping with the wedding details. But surprisingly, Brenda had most of the stuff taken care of. All the ladies of Port Charles are meeting at Luke's for Brenda's bridal shower/bachelorette party. Emily and Liz promised to keep it clean since Georgie and Maxie were going to be there.

Setting: Luke's

Robin: (hanging up balloons) I don't think Brenda suspects anything.

Julia: (tying strings to balloons) She really does believe that she's just meeting you for lunch here (looks around Luke's) this place looks great.

Robin: (looks around smiles) It is nice. So how's my cousin treating you?

Julia: (quiet for a few seconds) Aidan is a gentleman.

Robin: Gentleman...um...I don't think I've heard that one before.

Julia: He was a little put off by my background. But I think he's starting to see me as a normal person now.

Robin: Aidan is a little weird around people with money. But he does have a good heart. I know he's very protective of me. Sometimes it irritates me like crazy but I know that he's just worried about me.

Julia: I always make sure I'm standing between him and Jason. Any minute now, I expect him to hit Jason.

Robin: Is it that bad?

Julia: Yes. But I'm almost sure they won't make a scene in front of me.

Robin: I'll talk to Aidan.

Julia: No don't. It's quite amusing watching the 2 of them stare each other down.

Robin: (laughs) Aidan is at the construction site often?

Julia: Not too often. We do lunches.

Robin: I'm glad that Aidan found you. You're a good influence on him.

Julia: Thank you (hands Robin the last balloon) that's the last balloon.

Emily: (calling out to Robin from the door) Robin, the cake was just delivered.

Robin: Ok (looks around the place with everyone around) I guess everything is all set.

Julia: Now we just need the bride.

Setting: Kelly's

Jason walked into an almost empty Kelly's. Courtney was at the counter.

Jason: Where is everyone?

Courtney: (big smile) Hi Jason. Brenda's bridal shower is today.

Jason: That's right. Robin mentioned it to me yesterday.

Courtney: What can I get you?

Jason: Why aren't you there?

Courtney: I don't really know Brenda.

Jason: Robin said that everyone was invited.

Courtney: I don't think she meant me.

Jason: What do you mean?

Courtney: I'm not one of Robin's favorite people (Luke comes walking in with an unlit cigar in his mouth)

Luke: Well hello Jason. So you're hiding out here too?

Jason: What?

Luke: The ladies are having their party at my club and they expressly said that no men were allowed.

Jason: Why not?

Luke: Why not? What do you think goes on at these things Jason?

Jason: Robin said they were just going to open presents and eat cake.

Luke: (burst out laughing) Well of course Robin would tell you that. But I know differently. I know for a fact that little Ms. Emily bought a whole keg of beer (Jason was surprise.) Yes and there have callers asking for direction to the club.

Jason: What kind of callers?

Luke: Male callers, the ones that proper young ladies shouldn't be associating with.

Courtney: Are you talking about strippers?

Jason: No way.

Luke: These ladies aren't planning to just open presents buddy.

Jason: Robin didn't say any of this.

Luke: Of course not! These ladies of ours just love their "bridal shower" (Luke makes the quote gestures with his fingers.) Why do you think they don't want any of us men there? (Jax and Aidan come walking in) Fancy meeting you here.

Jax: Hi Luke. What's going on?

Luke: Do you know where that lovely fiancé of yours is?

Jax: At her bridal shower at your club.

Luke: That's what you think.

Aidan: What are you talking about? Julia is over there also.

Luke: Those ladies are up to no good men.

Jax: (laughs) Oh Luke. They're eating cake and opening presents.

Luke: Really? What's the keg of beer for?

Aidan: What keg?

Luke: A delivery made this morning, specifically for this little party.

Jason: Luke thinks that there's going to be strippers there.

Jax: (laugh) No way! Robin wouldn't hire a stripper.

Luke: Don't let our little innocent Robin fool you. You forget she lived in France where most beaches mandate birthday suits (Jason, Jax, and Aidan look at each other and then at Luke.)

Aidan: (laughing) No...I can't picture Julia cheering a stripper on.

Jax: Don't let her business suits fool you.

Aidan: (grows serious) What are you saying? You really believe that's what they're doing over there?

Jax: I don't know. But I'm going to find out (he takes out his phone and dials a number.)

Setting: Luke's

Everyone was waiting for Tess and Brenda to show up. Everything was in place. Robin hangs up her phone.

Robin: Ok everyone. Tess and Brenda just left the office. They should be here shortly.

Maxie: (standing with Liz, Emily, and Georgie) Brenda is going to be so surprise.

Emily: Oh, she'll be more than just surprise (Emily and Liz look at each.)

Liz: Maxie, Georgie you guys don't really mind leaving early do you?

Georgie: Not at all. We're heading to the movies with our friends.

Maxie: Mom will be here so she won't be sitting behind us in the theatre.

Emily: Don't get into too much trouble. Felicia will kill us.

Maxie: We won't.

Robin: I see them. I'm going to turn off the lights (everyone quiets down and waits as they for Tess and Brenda to enter.)

Tess: I am starving.

Brenda: So am I. We've been working way too hard (Tess and Brenda opens the door and it was pitched black.) Did Luke forget to pay his electric bill? (At that very moment, Robin flipped on the light switched and everyone yelled out surprise with the music blaring in the background. Brenda jumped a little and started to laugh. She looks over at Robin) You!

Robin: Were your surprise? (Robin and Brenda hug)

Brenda: Man, I almost pee in my pants (looks around at everyone) everyone is here.

Robin: Of course (Brenda walks around and greet various people) I think we surprised her.

Tess: I say so. This place looks great.

Robin: Come on, I'll get you a drink (Robin's phone ring) Hello? (Robin covers her ear with her other hand)

Jax: Robin? It's Jax.

Robin: (almost yelling because the music got louder) Hi (talking to Emily) Emily, could you get Tess a drink for me? Sorry Jax.

Jax: (trying to hear Robin) Robin, what's going on? I can barely hear you.

Robin: The music is a little loud here. Is something wrong?

Jax: I wanted to see if Brenda got there okay? (Jax hears screaming and laughing in the background)

Robin: Sorry Jax. I can't really hear you. I'll ask Brenda to call you later (Robin hangs up)

Aidan: Well?

Jax: I heard loud music and screaming.

Luke: I'm usually right about these things.

Jax: I'm just so surprise. I would never expect Robin to hire strippers.

Mac: (comes walking in with a smile) Hey guys (notices the look on Jax's face) what's going on?

Luke: Jax is trying to digest the fact that his beautiful fiancé is stuffing dollar bills into a guy's g-string.

Mac: What?

Jason: They have strippers at Brenda's bridal shower.

Mac: Anna didn't say anything (Luke bursts out laughing which drew a scowl from Mac.) What's so funny?

Luke: Gentlemen, we have been duped. Our innocent, prim and proper ladies are at this very moment screaming on top of their lungs to take it all off (all the guys started to talk at the same time. Carly and Sonny walk in during all the commotion. They make their way to the counter.)

Sonny: What's going on?

Courtney: They just found out at there are strippers at Brenda's bridal shower (Sonny laughs)

Carly: That's all?

Courtney: I guess no one expected Robin to hire strippers.

Sonny: (smiles) They shouldn't have underestimated my girl (Courtney and Carly looked at each other, jealous at Sonny's statement.)

Setting: Luke's

Brenda: Where's my present? I'm ready for them (everyone laughs.)

Emily: There were so many presents so we had to have some help getting them. Why don't you sit right here? (Emily sits Brenda down in a chair in the center of the room) We'll have them bring out your presents (Brenda looks over at Robin, who shrugs her shoulder. The music got turned up another notched and the lights were dimmed. Emily nods over at Liz by the bar. In a second or 2, a tall dark good-looking man walked out with a present in his hand and wearing g-string. The ladies in the room started to laugh and scream. The man makes his way to Brenda. Brenda watched him with her mouth hanging open.)

Man 1: Hello beautiful. I thought I could help you open your present (the ladies scream)

Brenda: (still couldn't believe what she's seeing) If you want to (Brenda couldn't stop examining his nice looking body.)

Anna: Robin, I can't believe you did all this.

Robin: (still not quite believing what she's seeing) I didn't know anything about this.

Anna: You didn't?

Robin: Emily and Liz said they wanted to do something special for Brenda.

Anna: They accomplished their goal (Anna and Robin watched as a couple of more guys bring out more presents for Brenda.)

Setting: Kelly's

The guys were still trying to talk over each other. Finally Luke whistled and the men quiet down.

Luke: Gentlemen, are you going to stand here all day while the ladies enjoy themselves?

Aidan: What do you proposed?

Luke: We go over there.

Jax: I don't know about that.

Luke: Are you telling me it's okay with you that Brenda is stuffing bills down some guy's underwear?

Jax: No of course not! But we can't crash the party.

Luke: Do you have a better suggestion?

Aidan: If the ladies want strippers, we can give them strippers. 5 to be exact (the men look at each other)

Mac: Are you suggesting we crash the party as strippers?

Aidan: Luke has the key to the backdoor.

Luke: That is even better idea. Well gentlemen? (The men look at each other) we're wasting time.

Lucky: Time for what (standing with Nicholas at the door)

Mac: Your father is suggesting we crash Brenda's bridal shower as strippers (Lucky and Nicholas start laughing.)

Nicholas: Why would you do that?

Jason: There are strippers there.

Lucky: No there isn't. Liz would have told me.

Jax: I called Robin. I heard loud music and screaming.

Lucky: What are we waiting for? Let's go!

Luke: That's my boy.

Nicholas: I don't know. The ladies could get real mad at us.

Aidan: I'll risk it. It's got to be less painful than knowing Julia is screaming at a naked guy (all the men look at each other and silently agreed. They all head for the door.)

Sonny: I guess they decided what they're going to do.

Carly: I don't know what the big deal is. They're just strippers.

Sonny: It's a man's pride.

Courtney: Jason went with them.

Sonny: I'm surprise it took them this long to leave.

Setting: Luke's

The party was going full blast. Everyone was enjoying themselves drinking and watching the strippers dance around Brenda. The strippers were bringing out the last of the presents. Emily and Liz were laughing with each other when Robin approached them.

Robin: (pretending to be shocked) You guys are bad.

Emily: You're not enjoying the show?

Robin: That's not the point. How did you find all these guys?

Liz: A couple of them are models from my painting class.

Robin: And the rest?

Liz: Friends of the model? (All 3 of them burst out laughing) they needed the money.

Robin: I'm sure they did.

Emily: It's all innocent fun.

Robin: My heart almost stopped when I thought they were naked.

Emily: Well I asked for the present to be strategically placed (Liz pokes at Emily)

Robin: Do Nicholas and Lucky you guys were up to this?

Liz: No.

Robin: Jax called me earlier.

Emily: You don't think they know, do you?

Robin: How? I didn't even know.

Liz: Are you mad at us for not telling you?

Robin: Of course not! Everyone is having such a good time (all of the sudden the room went quiet except for the music. Emily, Robin and Liz turn toward the bar and sees Lucky walking out carrying a present and wearing just boxer. Everyone watched, speechless. Nicholas was the next to walk out with present wearing much of nothing. Then Aidan, Luke, Mac, Jason and finally Jax. The gentlemen had big smiles on their face. The ladies were staring with their mouths hanging open. No one said anything.) Am I seeing things?

Emily: I'm seeing the same thing.

Liz: Oh my god!

Jax: (approaches Brenda slowly with a present in his hand) Hello my beautiful fiancé. Are you having a good time? (Brenda just looked at Jax) You don't like your present?

Brenda: (still dumbfounded with the sight before her) I, I...

Jax: (trying not to laugh) You what?

Brenda: Jax you're naked!

Jax: (smiles) Technically I'm not naked.

Brenda: (peeks her head behind Jax to see all the other guys looking at her with a smile on their face) How did you... (Brenda was having problems finishing her sentences)

Jax: You wanted entertainment so we're here to provide entertainment.

Brenda: (finally breaks out of stupor and laugh) Jasper Jax, you put on some clothes right now! (Everyone burst out laughing) you're not decent.

Jax: I'm no more decent than those other guys were. We're getting sidetrack, we should start the entertainment (Jax nods over to Lucky and Nicholas. Lucky and Nicholas head over the Emily and Liz. They lead the girls to the dance floors and starts dancing around them. Emily and Liz were so shock and they didn't move.) Now ladies, the guys are trying to entertain you. Work with them (Emily and Liz burst out laughing which broke the ice for everyone else. Jax got the rest of the men to walk around and mingle. Jason walks over to Robin and stand closely behind her.)

Jason: (softly) You're not enjoying the entertainment.

Robin: (nervously turns around. She almost collides with Jason but Jason steadies her with his arms. Robin eyes wander over Jason's chest) I...I

Jason: (notices that Robin was looking at him, he smiles) You don't like my outfit? (Robin looks up at Jason and starts to blush) you're so beautiful Robin.

Robin: Jason, I...

Jason: I like how you say my name Robin.

Robin: (looks away from Jason) What are you doing here?

Jason: You don't want me here?

Robin: (turns back to Jason) No...I mean yes. You caught me so off guard.

Jason: (smiles) I know.

Robin: (trying not to look at Jason's almost naked body) Why?

Jason: I didn't like the idea of you looking at another naked guy.

Robin: I didn't arrange for them.

Jason: I know (Robin looks questionably at Jason) I wanted to be here.

Anna: (smiling at Mac) I can't believe you did this. What came over you?

Mac: Me? You're at party with naked guys and you're asking me?

Anna: First of all I didn't know about the strippers and second of all, it's harmless fun.

Mac: If you wanted harmless fun, why didn't you say anything?

Anna: Are you saying you would have provided the entertainment?

Mac: For you and in private.

Anna: I hate to tell you this Mac, but this room is filled with people.

Mac: (groans) I know. Don't remind me (Anna laughs)

Aidan: Are you surprised?

Julia: Very. I would never have expected you to do this.

Aidan: We still have a lot to learn about each other.

Julia: Is that a promise?

Aidan: It's more than a promise Julia (Aidan kisses Julia softly.)

Robin and Jason were slightly dancing and holding each other close. Neither one were aware of their movements. They were lost in each other eyes.

Robin: I can't believe you did this.

Jason: It's not that bad.

Robin: I can't believe I saw my uncle in his boxers.

Jason: It was a little uncomfortable getting undressed with everyone.

Robin: You are really something you know that?

Jason: Then you approve.

Robin: Jason, you're standing in front of me in your boxers. It's kind of hard to not approve.

Jason: (smiles) How about a swim at lake later?

Robin: The Quatermaine's lake?

Jason: Do you know of another?

Robin: I don't know.

Jason: I'm dancing with you in my boxer. I think at least you could do is go for a swim with me later.

Robin: (bites her lower lip thinking) Ok. When?

Jason: How about 7?

Setting: The Quatermaine's lake

Jason was standing next to his motorcycle waiting for Robin. He can feel the excitement growing inside of him at seeing Robin again. It's the same feelings he had when they first got together. Jason smiles to himself. He was surprise that Robin agreed to meet him here. The last time they were here together, things got very hot and heavy. Jason wonders if Robin will bring a bathing suit.

Setting: Mac's house

Anna: You're heading out?

Robin: Yeah. I have too much energy to stay home. Where's Mac?

Anna: He had to finish some stuff at the station.

Robin: That's what he gets for bailing out of work and crashing a bridal party.

Anna: (laughs) You have to admit it was some sight seeing them all in their boxers.

Robin: I was highly embarrassed.

Anna: I saw you talking to Jason. How are things with you guys?

Robin: (goes to sit down on the couch with Anna) It's hard to say. I mean we're friends but...

Anna: But you feel more?

Robin: Yes.

Anna: What do you feel?

Robin: You know how when you first meet someone, you can't seem to get enough of them. You want to find out everything about them and be with them all the time? (Anna nods) That's kind of how I feel with Jason. He's constantly surprising me.

Anna: Like showing up today.

Robin: (smiles) Yes. I don't know if the Jason I once knew would have ever done that.

Anna: 4 years is a long time.

Robin: Yes (Robin pauses) After Jason's accident, he didn't understand a lot of stuff. He would ask me and I tried to answer him as honestly as I knew. I think I felt like I was teaching him the ways of the world. But it reached a point where I couldn't do anything wrong. Robin always did the right thing, say the right thing, acted the right way. The pedestal was too high.

Anna: I didn't realize you were under so much pressure.

Robin: I was partially to blame. I wanted to make everyone happy and in that process I was miserable.

Anna: Is that why you told AJ the truth about Michael?

Robin: That was part of it (her voice grows sad) but mostly I was trying to protect Jason. He had grown to love Michael so much and he didn't realize some of the stuff that Carly was doing. I knew Carly was just using Michael to hold on to Jason. I didn't want her to have that power over Jason.

Anna: Did Jason know this?

Robin: Yes. I explained it to Jason. But Jason accused me of believing that I could make better decision than he could, that I can do everything better than he can.

Anna: Is that true?

Robin: I believed I was doing the right thing. I was trying to protect Jason.

Anna: Sweetheart, sometime in life you just have to let the person experience the pain and their mistakes. Because if they don't they will never learn.

Robin: I realize that now. I shouldn't have tried to be Jason's teacher. He didn't need that.

Anna: Don't ever believe that telling the truth is wrong Robin.

Robin: I don't regret that the truth came out. I regret that I hurt Jason in the process (with sadness in her voice) I broke his trust and his heart.

Anna: Somewhere along the way you both lost trust in each other.

Robin: You're right.

Anna: Do you trust Jason now?

Robin: (with no hesitation) Yes.

Anna: Then there's a chance.

Robin: (shakes her head slowly) No, Jason and I can never be more than friends.

Anna: Why?

Robin: I'm with Luis and I want to make things work with Luis.

Anna: And what of your feelings for Jason?

Robin: It'll go away eventually.

Anna: You're kidding yourself Robin.

Robin: I loved Jason once with all my heart and soul and I lost myself. It took a lot of pain and time for me to find myself again. I can't take the risk of losing myself again for love.

Anna: You and Jason are different people now.

Robin: I just can't Mom. I can't let myself be that vulnerable again.

Setting: Quartermaine's lake

Jason was still by his bike waiting for Robin. It was still a little early. Jason could barely contain himself. He was really looking forward to seeing Robin again. It took a lot of effort for him to leave her at Luke's earlier. But Robin said she had to help clean up. Jason listened for the sound of car.

Setting: The bridge

Robin walks to the bridge slowly. Robin was thinking about her conversation with Anna. Robin remembers:

Start of flashback

Jason: You don't make any sense to me, Robin, at all. You thought Carly might take Michael away someday to hurt me, so you decided to do it first?

Robin: No, it's not about taking Michael--

Jason: No, you're right, it's not about taking it's because Michael's not mine and I've never forgotten that. But he's not AJ's, either. Oh. All--all I ever wanted was to keep him safe and let him grow strong until he can make the decision that he belonged to himself, and that's never going to happen now!

Jason: And if--if he remembers me--if he remembers me at all, it's going to be somebody who promised to be there and suddenly wasn't.

Robin: I really hope that doesn't happen?

Jason: 'Hope'?

Robin: If it does happen, it was never your place to prevent it. Children don't go to the best available parents. They go to the ones they're born to.

Jason: Oh, my god. And who are you--who are you, the person who goes house to house and makes sure the rule is kept?

Robin: Jason, I told you the truth. I did this so that you are not going to be at the mercy of Carly for the rest of your life. Jason, I did the right thing.

Jason: It's the exact same thing you did before you went to Paris, when you told Sonny to fire me. You think you're in charge of my life. You think you can make my decisions better than I can, do everything better than I can.

Robin: Jason, you know that I love you.

Jason: Oh, I know you mean something by that I didn't think it meant.

Jason: Do you think I'm stupid? Huh? Stupid like the Quartermaines think? Do you have--you think I have no idea what Carly's like? I knew there was a chance that she might tell AJ. I knew there was a chance that she might tell somebody for her own reasons. But what? What was I supposed to do, not care about Michael, not keep my promise to that kid just in case?

Robin: I just came here to say goodbye. So much happened in this place. I just had to see it one last time before I let it go. Do you remember that night--

Jason: I remember everything, Robin. That was my life--what I learned from Sonny and loving you. Till Michael.

Robin: I didn't do it to take Michael away from you. You know that. You know me.

Jason: It's just like after the accident. When I woke up, you were the first person I ever saw. But I didn't know you. And I don't now. I came to say goodbye, too. You taught me that, just like you taught me to love. You gave me everything good I have inside. And now I have it to give to Michael. I will always owe you for that.

Robin: You gave me a lot, too.

Jason: And I never wanted you to go before. But I do now. It'll be much easier when you're in Paris. And it'll be a lot easier if I never see your face again.

End of flashback

Robin wipes the tears from her eyes. The pain that Robin thought was gone was still there. She could still see the anger on Jason's face. Robin wiped her face dried. She can't let Jason get close to her again. Robin looked out at the water one last time and walked off the bridge.

Setting: Quatermaine's lake

Jason was still anxiously waiting for Robin to arrive. He still didn't wear a watch but he could tell it was getting late. The sky was a lot darker. Jason didn't want to leave in case Robin shows up.

Setting: Luis' hotel suite

Luis: (opens the door) I didn't expect to see you tonight.

Robin: (smiling a little) Hi. Am I interrupting you?

Luis: No. Come in. Is something wrong?

Robin: (turns to Luis) I need to leave town for a few days. I was wondering if you like to come with me.

Luis: Why do you have to leave? What's wrong?

Robin: I'm running away.

Luis: From Jason?

Robin: You don't have to come.

Luis: What happened?

Robin: I had a reality check. I shouldn't have come here (turns to leave but Luis stops her.)

Luis: Are we not friends?

Robin: It's not fair to you.

Luis: Do you hear me complaining?

Robin: Why do you love me so Luis? I haven't given you any reasons.

Luis: I don't need reasons to love you. Where do you want to go?

Robin: Paris.

Luis: I see.

Robin: (smiles weakly) Paris is my escape.

Luis: I'll tell you what. We'll fly to Paris together, check into a hotel, grab something to eat and then I fly pack to Port Charles alone.

Robin: (puzzled) Why? Don't you want to stay with me?

Luis: I'll always want to be with you Robin. But you need time to yourself. You need to sort things out. You can't do that if I'm there with you.

Robin: (goes to wrap her arms around Luis) I am so glad to have so in my life. Thank you.

Setting: Mac's house, late same night

Jason turns the engine off on his bike. He sees Robin's car in the driveway. He didn't know what happened. He waited and waited and Robin never showed up. Jason got worried so he rode to Mac's. Jason makes his way to the door and rings the doorbell. After a few minutes, Mac opens the door.

Mac: (grumpy) It's late Jason!

Jason: I know. Is Robin here?

Mac: No.

Jason: Why? She's not at the hospital (worries set in) did something happened?

Mac: No Robin is fine.

Jason: Where is she? I need to speak to her (Jason walks in)

Mac: Jason, Robin is not here.

Jason: (a little loudly) What do you mean? Where is she? (Anna heard the commotion and was walking down the steps.)

Anna: She's in Paris.

Jason: (turns to Anna with disbelief) Paris? Why?

Anna: I don't know.

Jason: Why would she just leave without saying anything?

Anna: (felt bad for Jason, she approaches him) She didn't tell me why. I'm sorry Jason.

Jason: I don't understand. We were supposed to meet tonight. Robin didn't come.

Anna: (surprise in her voice) Robin didn't say anything about meeting you tonight.

Jason: We made plans to meet tonight when we were at Luke's.

Mac: Robin didn't call you before she left?

Jason: My phone hasn't ring (Mac and Anna exchange looks) why would Robin just leave?

Anna: Jason, Robin and I spoke about the past.

Jason: We've gotten over that. Robin trusts me now. Do you know how I can find her?

Anna: She didn't say where she would be.

Jason: She didn't say anything else to you?

Anna: (looks at Mac and then at Jason) Robin went to see Luis before she left (Jason expression went cold and blank. Anna was surprise by the change in Jason.)

Jason: I'm sorry I bothered you (Jason walked out abruptly.)

Mac: What was all that about?

Anna: I don't know.

Mac: What did Robin say to you?

Anna: She said she was starting to trust Jason again. We talked about why they broke up, why she and Jason can't be more than friends.

Mac: Why?

Anna: She was afraid of getting hurt again.

Setting: Luis' hotel suite

Jason banged on the door loudly. He was in full rage. During the ride over, he couldn't get the picture of Luis and Robin out of his head.

Jason: (loudly) Open up Alcazar. I know you're in there (no answer) Robin, if you're in there, please open the door (nothing, Jason puts a hand on the door) Robin don't do this. Please talk to me (lowers his voice a little) please Robin.

Manager: (walks up to Jason) Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. You're disturbing the other guests.

Jason: (looks at the man with a blank expression) I need to get in here.

Manager: Sir, Mr. Alcazar is not in. He left a couple of hours ago.

Jason: Left? Do you know where he went?

Manager: I believe he was heading to the airport.

All of Jason's hopes left his body. He nods slightly to the manager and walks away. Jason numbly walked to his bike. Robin left with Alcazar for Paris. She's gone. Robin left without saying goodbye. Jason didn't understand what happened. Robin was so happy when they were together at Luke's. He didn't imagine that. He couldn't have. They were dancing together. Robin was holding him. Jason rubs his eyes in his frustration. Hurt and angry, Jason got on his bike and rode off.

Setting: Next day, construction site

Julia: You did enjoy the party yesterday?

Brenda: (smiles) Yes. Thank you for putting it together for me.

Julia: We weren't sure since you and Jax rushed off so quickly.

Brenda: Well you know.

Julia: (smiles knowingly) Yeah I know.

Brenda: I noticed you were pretty cozy with Aidan.

Julia: Yeah well.

Brenda: (laughs) He should definitely wear less more often.

Julia: Brenda!

Brenda: What? (Jason walks in) hey Jason (no response. Brenda and Julia exchange looks. Brenda walks over to Jason's desk) what's going on?

Jason: (stiffly) I have work to do.

Brenda: Your boss is goofing off so I think you're safe (Jason doesn't respond) Jason, what's wrong?

Jason: Nothing.

Julia: (approaches Jason) We like to help if we can.

Jason: You can't.

Julia: We can try (trying to coax Jason into talking) you know Brenda is not going to leave until you tell us.

Brenda: Is it Robin? (Get frantic) Jason, did something happen to Robin? Tell me!

Jason: Robin is fine (Brenda breathes again)

Brenda: Then why are you like this? Robin is the only person that can get you like this (Jason doesn't answer) so it is about Robin.

Jason: I don't want to talk about it.

Julia: (takes a seat in front of Jason's desk) What happened Jason?

Jason: (looks between Julia and Brenda) Robin left with Alcazar to Paris.

Brenda: (shocked) WHAT?

Julia: Brenda. Do you know why?

Jason: No.

Julia: I saw you talking to Robin yesterday. Did you 2 have a fight?

Jason: No we didn't.

Brenda: What happened?

Jason: (angrily) We made plans to meet at the Quatermaine's lake. I waited for Robin all night and she never showed up.

Brenda: Why not?

Jason: I don't know.

Brenda: Then how do you know Robin is in Paris with Luis?

Jason: Anna told me.

Brenda: What did you do to Robin? (Brenda asked accusingly.)

Jason: (mad) I didn't do anything!

Brenda: (just as angry as Jason) Then why would Robin just leave? She would have called me. You must have done something!

Julia: Brenda, obviously Jason doesn't know. Why don't you head to the office? It's late.

Brenda: Fine! (Brenda leaves)

Julia: I'm sorry about Brenda.

Jason: Don't be. I know everyone blames me when where Robin is concern.

Julia: I don't blame you.

Jason: You're the only one.

Julia: You want to tell me what happened?

Jason: I don't know myself. When we were at Luke's, Robin and I made plans to later meet at the Quatermaine's lake. I waited and Robin never showed. I got worried so I went to Mac. That was when Anna told me that Robin left for Paris.

Julia: With Luis.

Jason: No, Anna only said that Robin went to see Alcazar before she left. I went to the hotel and the manager said that Alcazar had left for the airport.

Julia: Anna didn't say why Robin left town?

Jason: No. Anna said that Robin spoke of our past.

Julia: But I thought that you said things were better between you and Robin.

Jason: That's what I thought. I didn't imagine how she looked at me when we were dancing at Luke's yesterday. I don't know what happened between the time we were at Luke's and when Robin was supposed to meet me.

Julia: Maybe there was an emergency.

Jason: Anna would have told me. Robin left town because of me.

Julia: (felt bad for Jason) I don't think Robin meant to hurt you Jason. I'm sure she had an explanation for leaving abruptly.

Jason: Robin hasn't called.

Julia: If she left late last night she probably just barely got to her hotel. Why don't you give her some time?

Jason: (a little relief) You're right. Robin wouldn't have left unless it was an emergency.

Julia: I'm sure she wouldn't.

Jason: Thanks Julia.

Julia: I'm glad I could help. You want to go grab something to eat? It's too nice of day to be stuck in this trailer.

Jason: (smiles a little) Sure.

Setting: The docks

After leaving Julia's, Brenda went to Kelly's to grab some food before heading to the office. Brenda wanted to try to call Robin. Brenda sits down on the bench and dials Robin's number. Robin didn't pick up.

Brenda: (frowns) Where are you Robin? (Brenda redials Robin's number)

Sonny: (comes up to Brenda) Hey.

Brenda: Hey (no answer) damn!

Sonny: Something wrong?

Brenda: Robin is not picking up her phone.

Sonny: She's probably in surgery.

Brenda: Robin is not at GH. She's in Paris.

Sonny: Paris? Why?

Brenda: That's what I'm trying to find out.

Sonny: Did something happen between Robin and Jason?

Brenda: Jason said nothing but I don't believe him. Robin would never leave without telling me. Something happened.

Sonny: I'm sure Robin will call soon.

Brenda: She better. I'm going to kill her if she doesn't make it back for my wedding.

Sonny: That's right. You still have a week.

Brenda: Thank god! I can't wait anymore.

Sonny: (almost sad and happy to hear Brenda say the words) You're going to be a married woman.

Brenda: (big smile) Yes. Finally!

Sonny: They say third time is the charm.

Brenda: I am going to marry Jax on August second if it's the last thing I do.

Sonny: (feeling sad) So then it is happening.

Brenda: Yes (Brenda looks over at Sonny) does it make you sad to know that I'm going to marry Jax?

Sonny: A little.

Brenda: I love Jax Sonny. He makes me so happy.

Sonny: I couldn't.

Brenda: You did. But it was too volatile. We were always ready to explode.

Sonny: But we had fun.

Brenda: (smiles) Yes we did.

Sonny: Do you think if there was no Jax and I wasn't married to Carly that we would have gotten together (Carly was standing on the steps a few feet away. She stops and listens.)

Brenda: I don't know.

Sonny: We loved each other so much Brenda. Why couldn't we make it work?

Brenda: We couldn't trust each other.

Sonny: I so much wanted a life with you. I thought for sure we would be together after Lily's death.

Brenda: I did too. I don't regret us Sonny.

Sonny: I don't either.

Brenda: (takes Sonny's hands in hers) I hope you'll find happiness Sonny because that's what I want most for you.

Sonny: I'm happy.

Brenda: No you're not. You're deceiving yourself.

Sonny: I have a family with Carly.

Brenda: What family? Michael isn't your son.

Sonny: Not biologically but in every other sense of the word father.

Brenda: Sonny, I was there when Lily was pregnant with your child. I saw the joy and happiness on your face. You were so proud to know that Lily was carrying your baby.

Sonny: Carly is trying for a baby.

Brenda: Carly (shakes her head)

Sonny: You don't approve of Carly.

Brenda: Carly is on the opposite end of the spectrum of Lily (Carly grown angry at Brenda's words)

Sonny: Carly has her faults but she loves with all her heart.

Brenda: Sonny, Carly's heart is evil. Look what she did to Jason and Robin. They had pure love and she destroyed it because she was jealous. What about Tony and Bobbie? You don't need a person with that kind of a heart. You deserve better.

Sonny: Carly is Carly.

Brenda: Don't settle for less Sonny. You deserve so much more.

Sonny: Maybe this is all I'm destined to have.

Brenda: No. I don't believe that. You don't believe that.

Sonny: What do you suggest I do?

Brenda: Start making the right decisions Sonny. Don't let the lies deceive you.

Sonny: Are you telling me that Carly is lying to me?

Brenda: I don't know if she is or not. I only know of her past actions. They're not pretty Sonny (Carly was getting red listening to Brenda. How could Sonny not defend her to Brenda?)

Sonny: I'll think about you've said (Carly angrily walks away.)

Brenda: Good. That's all I ask (Brenda's phone ring) hello?

Robin: Brenda?

Brenda: (loudly) Robin! Where are you?

Robin: I'm in Paris.

Brenda: (gets louder) Why? What happened?

Robin: Stop yelling Brenda. I can hear you fine.

Brenda: (calms down) Tell me what happened?

Robin: Not right now.

Brenda: When?

Robin: In a few days.

Brenda: Are you alright?

Robin: I'm fine.

Brenda: Is Luis with you?

Robin: He left earlier.

Brenda: Robin, I don't understand.

Robin: I know. I can't explain right now. I wanted to call you so you wouldn't worry.

Brenda: How long are you going to be gone for?

Robin: I'll be back before your wedding. I promise.

Brenda: You better. I'm not going to get marry without you.

Robin: I love you Brenda.

Brenda: I love you too.

Robin: I'll talk to you in a few days.

Brenda: Ok. Take care of yourself.

Robin: I will.

Brenda: Bye (Brenda hangs up)

Sonny: Robin is okay?

Brenda: That's what she said.

Sonny: She didn't say why she's in Paris?

Brenda: No.

Sonny: At least she's okay.

Brenda: Physically.

Sonny: What do you mean?

Brenda: She sounded weird.

Setting: Kelly's

Julia and Jason arrived and sat down at the table. Julia was still worried about Jason but he did seem a little calmer. Courtney approaches their table.

Courtney: (smiles) Hi Jason.

Jason: Courtney.

Courtney: Is something wrong?

Jason: No. Can I have a cheeseburger, fries, and a coke?

Courtney: (a little taken back by Jason's coldness) Sure.

Julia: I'll have a chef salad and a black coffee.

Courtney: I'll be back in a minute with your order (Courtney looks again at Jason before walking away.)

Julia: I was kind of hoping for some conversation with the meal (Julia smiles at Jason.)

Jason: I'm sorry.

Julia: Don't be. We don't have to talk if you don't want to.

Jason: I'm still trying to figure things out in my head.

Julia: Can I ask you a question?

Jason: Yes.

Julia: Robin has been out of your life for 4 years. You didn't call or write. Since she's been back, you haven't been able to stay away from her. Why is that?

Jason: I was angry with Robin when she left. For a long time after I used that anger to keep from missing her. I guess over time the anger died and Robin wasn't the first thing I thought of when I woke up in the morning. When I saw Robin again all my feelings for her resurfaced.

Julia: You've gotten over Robin telling AJ the truth?

Jason: I understand why she did it.

Julia: Do you (Luis walks by them. Julia notices Jason's eyes following Luis. Jason gets up from his chair.)

Jason: Where's Robin?

Luis: (turns to Jason. Courtney and Julia watch the exchange) None of your business.

Jason: She left with you. Tell me where she is.

Luis: (smugly) If she wanted you to know where she is she would have told you (Jason lunges at Luis but Julia was quicker and steps in between.)

Julia: Jason, you don't want to do this.

Jason: I need to find Robin.

Julia: (with a stern voice) You need to get back to the construction site. I'll be there shortly (Jason looks at Julia who didn't back down. Courtney watches sadly as Jason leaves.) Luis, where is Robin?

Luis: I can't tell you that Julia.

Julia: Can you at least tell me if she's okay?

Luis: She's fine.

Julia: Robin's back?

Luis: No. She's still in Paris.

Julia: But you left with Robin.

Luis: Yes I did.

Julia: What's going on Luis?

Luis: Are you asking for Jason?

Julia: No, I'm asking for me. I care very much for Robin.

Luis: She needed some time to work things out. She couldn't do it here in Port Charles.

Julia: (sigh a relief) If you speak to her again please ask her to call me if she needs anything.

Luis: I will.

Julia: Thank you (Julia walks back to the table and picks up her stuff.)

Courtney: (witnessed the entire episode) You just love goading Jason, don't you?

Luis: I would think you would be thanking me Ms. Matthews.

Courtney: For what?

Luis: For keeping Robin away from Jason. Jason is who you want don't you?

Courtney: I don't need your help.

Luis: You'll need more than help. Jason doesn't even look at you when Robin is in the same room.

Courtney: What do you know?

Luis: The truth.

Courtney: You mean your truth.

Luis: You are young and naïve Ms. Matthews. It explains why you are so blinded. Jason has no intention of settling for you when Robin is within his reach (Luis smiles smugly at Courtney and leaves. Courtney was fuming mad.)

Setting: Construction site

Several days passed and still Jason didn't hear anything from Robin. Julia told him what Alcazar had said to her after he left. Jason still didn't understand why Robin left so urgently. He had expected for her to call him by now. Robin must know that he would be worried about her. Jason tries to bring his attention back to work.

Sonny: (walks in) So this is where you work.

Jason: Sonny. What are you doing here?

Sonny: I had some time so I thought I drop by.

Jason: You want a tour?

Sonny: In a little bit.

Jason: Have a seat (Sonny sits down)

Sonny: (looks around) This is nice. You did well for yourself.

Jason: Thanks.

Sonny: How's working for Julia?

Jason: She's tough. No one questions her judgment.

Sonny: Where is she?

Jason: She went over to Brenda's. Wedding stuff.

Sonny: It's only a few days away.

Jason: Yeah. So why are you really here?

Sonny: You haven't been around much.

Jason: I thought you understood why.

Sonny: Carly.

Jason: I can't trust myself around her knowing what she did to Robin.

Sonny: I understand. I miss talking to you.

Jason: What's going on?

Sonny: Something is up with Carly.

Jason: What do you mean? She can't have that much time on her hand.

Sonny: You would think the community work would keep her out of trouble. She's up to something.

Jason: Why do you say that?

Sonny: For one thing, she can't stop talking about wanting to have a baby.

Jason: I thought that's what you want.

Sonny: It is but not right now.

Jason: Why not?

Sonny: There's too much going on.

Jason: What else?

Sonny: She's always on her phone. I caught her one time saying something like 'I want this over'. I asked her about it and she said she was talking to her parole officer.

Jason: You don't believe her?

Sonny: I'm trying.

Jason: Have you tried to talk to her?

Sonny: Yes but all she wants to do is have sex.

Jason: I don't know what to tell you Sonny.

Sonny: I know. I needed to get that out to someone. Have you heard from Robin?

Jason: (quietly) No.

Sonny: She's been gone several days now.

Jason: Yes.

Sonny: So you still don't know why Robin left.

Jason: I've gone over our last conversation together in my head I don't know how many times. I still can't figure it out. She seemed so happy at us meeting up later. I know I didn't imagine that.

Sonny: I'm sure you didn't either.

Jason: Then what happened Sonny? What would Robin just leave like that? And with Alcazar to Paris?

Sonny: I don't have the answers.

Jason: It's like the first time Robin left for school. I want so desperately to talk and see her. But I can't.

Sonny: She'll be back. You guys can straighten things out then.

Setting: Brenda's office

Julia: Well I think everything is set.

Brenda: Looks like it.

Julia: Are you nervous?

Brenda: Actually, I'm not.

Julia: It's so like you to not be nervous. I'm nervous.

Brenda: (laughs) The hard part is walking to Jax at the altar.

Julia: So Edward is going to give you away?

Brenda: Yes. He said he'd behave.

Julia: Then he will. Now, all we need is Robin (just as Robin walks into Brenda's office.)

Robin: Did I hear my name?

Brenda: Robin? (Brenda rushes to Robin and hugs her) You're back. Are you okay? Why were you gone for so long?

Julia: Brenda, at least let Robin sit down first.

Brenda: (pulls Robin to the couch) Sit, sit.

Robin: (laughs) Hi Julia. How are you?

Julia: I'm fine. How are you?

Robin: I'm better.

Brenda: What happened?

Robin: (looks over at Julia) Julia, I know you're close to Jason.

Julia: (interrupts Robin) You don't need to continue. You are like a sister to me Robin. I'm here for you.

Robin: I just didn't want you to have to lie to Jason.

Julia: I'll tell Jason whatever you want.

Brenda: So this is about Jason.

Robin: Before you go attack Jason, listen to me.

Brenda: I'll wait then.

Robin: Jason didn't do anything. He didn't drive me to Paris. I left on my own.

Brenda: But why so sudden?

Robin: The past came crashing down on me and I was unprepared for it.

Brenda: I don't understand. You seemed fine at the party.

Robin: I was. I was so happy to see Jason. I couldn't stop talking or looking at him.

Brenda: (smiling) We all noticed.

Robin: He was hard to resist in only his boxers.

Julia: What changed?

Robin: We had made plans to meet up at the Quatermaine's lake later. I was on my way to meet Jason when Mom and I spoke.

Brenda: About what happened with you and Jason before.

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: I thought you and Jason have worked that out.

Robin: We did. I guess during my conversation with Mom, I realized that I was falling for Jason all over again. It scared me. I was so sure that I was over Jason, that I couldn't see him as anything more than a friend.

Julia: Are you saying you left because you didn't want to deal with your feelings for Jason?

Robin: I left to get perspective again. I can't let myself love Jason again. I am not the person he needs.

Julia: You're making decisions for Jason, Robin.

Robin: I know but I can't help it.

Brenda: Robin, you're not making sense. If you love Jason and I know Jason loves you, you guys can work things out. Don't shut him out.

Robin: Don't you see? I lost Jason because I wanted to protect him. I will always want to protect him. And because of that I will lose him in the end. I can't go through that again.

Brenda: Sweetie, I know Jason hurt you terribly when he turned his back on you but he's not the same person anymore. Look at how much he's changed. He's gone legit and he can't stand Carly.

Robin: I don't want Jason to live his life according to my rules.

Julia: Robin, Jason is doing all of this for himself also.

Robin: Then I'm happy for him. I can't be a part of it.

Brenda: Robin, don't do this. You need time to sort out your feelings.

Robin: I did that while I was Paris. Jason can't be a part of my life (Brenda and Julia look at each other, neither knowing what else to say.)

Brenda: What do you want us to do?

Robin: Nothing. Both of you have become friends with Jason. I don't want to take that away from him. I just need to distance myself from Jason.

Julia: What do you want me to tell Jason?

Robin: I guess that I'm back in town. It'll probably be better that he finds out from you. Jason trusts you.

Julia: Ok (goes to give Robin a hug) I'm glad you're back. Call me if you need anything.

Robin: I will. Thank you Julia.

Julia: I'll see you both later (Julia leaves)

Robin: I'm sorry to spring this on you now.

Brenda: Don't be (look with worries at Robin) Are you sure about this Robin?

Robin: I barely survived the last time I lost Jason. I can't take that chance again.

Setting: Construction site

Jason and Sonny were still talking when Julia walked in.

Sonny: Hi Julia.

Julia: Hello Sonny. How have you been? I haven't seen you in awhile.

Sonny: I'm hanging in there. It's a nice place you have here.

Julia: Thank you (looks at Jason) Am I interrupting anything?

Jason: No, we're just hanging out.

Julia: Oh.

Sonny: How are the wedding plans coming along?

Julia: Everything is all set. Brenda was worried that Robin would miss the wedding.

Jason: (looks at Julia intently) Is Robin back?

Julia: Yes. Robin dropped by Brenda's office while I was there.

Jason: (rushes over to Julia) How is she?

Julia: (feels guilty) Robin is fine Jason.

Jason: Did she say why she was gone for so long?

Julia: She needed to sort some things out.

Jason: What things?

Julia: I'm sorry Jason. I can't tell you that.

Jason: But why?

Julia: I can't break Robin's confidence (sees the sadness in Jason's eyes.)

Jason: But Robin is alright?

Julia: Yes.

Jason: Robin doesn't want to see me, does she?

Julia: (her heart breaks for Jason) Jason, I can't...

Jason: You don't have to answer that. I'm sorry I asked you (Jason quietly walks out of the trailer.)

Julia: I didn't want to hurt him.

Sonny: Why doesn't Robin want to see Jason?

Julia: I can't tell you anything Sonny.

Sonny: Robin is like a sister to me Julia.

Julia: Robin doesn't see it that way (realizes she was abrupt) I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

Sonny: This is about Jason and me turning our backs on Robin, isn't it?

Julia: Don't put words in my mouth Sonny. I need to get back to work (Julia walks to her desk and sits down.)

Sonny: I've asked for Robin's forgiveness. What else am I supposed to do?

Julia: (looks up at Sonny) I don't have the answers you're looking for.

Sonny: (sadly) Please tell Robin that I hope everything is well with her.

Julia: I will. Goodbye Sonny (she watches as Sonny leaves)

Setting: GH

Amy: (smiles at Robin) You're back.

Robin: Yes. How are things?

Amy: It's spookily quiet.

Robin: I wonder why.

Amy: Tony needs you in the lab.

Robin: What's going on?

Amy: He's a researching bacterium that he believes might be the cause for SARS.

Robin: Ok. Amy, if Jason comes looking for me, will you tell him that I'm unavailable.

Amy: Something wrong?

Robin: I rather no get into in.

Amy: Ok (Amy watches curiously as Robin walks away) I wonder what's going on?

Jason: Amy

Amy: (jumps a little) Jason! You scared me.

Jason: Is Robin here?

Amy: Yes.

Jason: Where can I find her?

Amy: I'm sorry Jason but she's unavailable.

Jason: Is she in surgery?

Amy: No.

Jason: Where is Robin Amy?

Amy: She's busy Jason. You'll have to come back later.

Jason: (raises his voice a little) I need to speak to Robin now.

Alan: (walking up to the station) Jason, is something wrong?

Jason: I need to speak to Robin.

Alan: (looks over at Amy) Is Robin here Amy?

Amy: Yes but she's unavailable right now (hoping Alan understands)

Alan: Robin is obviously busy. I'll tell Robin you dropped by.

Jason: (frustrated) I need to speak to her Alan.

Alan: I'll tell Robin that (Jason nods a head slightly and walks away) what was that about?

Amy: I don't know. Robin just said that if Jason came looking for her to tell him that she was unavailable.

Alan: It doesn't make sense. Where is Robin?

Amy: In the lab with Tony (Alan walks off. Now Amy was really curious.)

Setting: Mac's house, late at night

Robin stayed in the lab and studied the samples until her eyes were blurry. She was glad for something to keep her mind off of Jason. Robin finally noticed the time and decided to head home. Driving up to the driveway, Robin spotted Jason's motorcycle in front of the house. Robin wasn't ready to face Jason. Robin looked in her mirror and sees that the officers are behind her. Robin reduces her speed. Robin pulls into the driveway and the officers parked a little away. Robin gathered her stuff together and got out of the car. She tries quickly to make it to the door before Jason catches up with her.

Jason: (softly) Robin (Robin pretended not to hear Jason and continues to walk quicker (Jason stepped out of the shadows and stopped in front of Robin. Robin stops) Robin? (Robin doesn't respond. She just looks at Jason.) What's wrong Robin? Why are you avoiding me?

Robin: (trying to sound normal even though her heart was beating loudly) It's late (Robin steps around Jason but he grabs her arm. Robin struggles a little.)

Officer: (pointing a gun at Jason) Release her immediately Sir (Robin and Jason look over at the officer. But Jason didn't let Robin go.)

Robin: (desperately) Please let me go (Robin looks pleadingly to Jason. Jason looks back at Robin eyes full of questions. He didn't understand.)

Jason: Why Robin?

Officer: Sir please release Ms. Scorpio

Robin looks between the officer and Jason. She pleads to Jason with her eyes. Jason finally releases her. Robin quickly walks inside. Jason watched her go, not understanding what happened. As soon as Robin closed the front door, tears stream down her face. She didn't realize it would be this hard to see Jason again. How is she going to be able to continue doing this?

Setting: GH

Jason had a restless sleep after his encounter with Robin. He couldn't understand Robin's reaction to him. She looked at him like she did when she first came back to Port Charles. Jason couldn't figure out why. What changed? Jason walked up to Amy.

Jason: Hi Amy.

Amy: Jason.

Jason: I'm sorry about yesterday.

Amy: (smiles) Apology accepted.

Jason: I'm looking for Robin.

Amy: She's in surgery.

Jason: When will she be finished?

Amy: In two hours but she has another surgery after that.

Jason: Did you tell Robin I needed to speak to her?

Amy: I did.

Jason: (nods as if he understood) Will she be available at all today?

Amy: She's doing a double shift.

Jason: Will you tell Robin that I stopped by?

Amy: I will.

Jason: Thanks Amy (Amy watches Jason leave. She felt bad for him.)

Robin successfully avoided Jason for the next several days. She kept herself hidden at GH and at Brenda's cottage. Amy, Anna, and Brenda all told her that Jason has been asking about her. Robin's heart sinks every time she hears Jason's name. He was hurting and she couldn't help him. Brenda noticed the change in Robin. Robin wasn't as happy as before. Brenda was worried but she stood by Robin's decision.

It was finally the night of the rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal went relatively well. No one made a scene and everyone seems to be getting along. The Port Charles Grill was filled with the wedding party members. Robin stands up and knocks on her glass a few times to get everyone's attention.

Robin: Thank you everyone for coming tonight. Tomorrow is a very special day for my sister, my best friend. As you know Brenda loves to tease me about everything. When she found out how much I love fairytales and believe in them, she thought I was a little off (laughter) but the sister she was, she went out and bought me book of fairytales. She told me I should never stop believing in fairytales because it's who I am. The love that I witness between Jax and Brenda is what fairytales are made of. They've fought long and hard battles to be with each other. And tomorrow I get to witness a fairytale come true, Jax and Brenda exchanging vows. Brenda, Jax the love you have for each other is my favorite fairytale of all. I wish you both happily ever after and beyond (Robin raises her glass) To Brenda and Jax (Everyone raised in their glasses and chimed in "to Brenda and Jax". Brenda walks over and hugs Robin. Both have tears running down their face.)

Brenda: You're not allowed to make a speech tomorrow. I can't be crying like this at my wedding.

Robin: I love you Brenda. I know you're going to be very happy with Jax.

Brenda: I love you Robin. I will be happy with Jax so the fairytale will have a happy ending. Your fairytale will also have a happy ending Robin. Don't stop believing.

Robin: I think I'll concentrate on yours for now.

Brenda: Only until after tomorrow (they hug again)

Jax: (hugs Robin tightly) Thank you for that speech Robin. You know you are big part of how Brenda and I got here.

Robin: I can't take the credit.

Jax: You stood by us through everything. Robin, know that Brenda and I will always be behind you. You are never alone.

Robin: (smiles) Thank you Jax. You guys should probably go make the rounds.

Brenda: (takes Jax's hand) Ok. See you in a bit (Robin smiles watching Brenda and Jax walk away.)

Anna: (comes to stand next to Robin) That was a beautiful speech darling.

Robin: Thank you.

Anna: (puts her arm around Robin) Your fairytale will come.

Robin: (a little sadly) I did have the fairytale, just not the ending

.

Anna: There's no law that said you're only allowed one fairytale.

Robin: I don't know Mom.

Anna: Come on, let's go rescue Mac before he arrest Edward for harassment (Robin laughs and walks with Anna toward Mac.)

Behind the terrace window, close to where Robin was standing, Jason stood and watched Robin. He heard the entire speech and her conversation with Jax, Brenda and Anna after. This was the first he seen of Robin since the night in front of Mac's. He tried several times to wait outside of Mac's house but he could never catch Robin. He called Robin's phone but she never picked up. Jason watches as Robin makes her way around to the various guests. Robin looked different to him. She was beautiful in her dress with her hair up. But she didn't look happy. Her eyes didn't have the sparkle. Jason watches as Robin picks up a glass of sparkling water and makes her way to him. Jason stands back against the wall. Robin opens the terrace window further and walks out. She takes in a deep breath. Jason watches Robin from behind. She was so close to him. He just needs to reach out his hand and he could touch her. Robin takes a sip of her water. Jason couldn't stand it anymore.

Jason: (softly) You are so beautiful (startled Robin turns around to Jason. Robin looks at Jason with confusion. Jason takes a slow step toward Robin.) I've missed you Robin.

Robin: (can't drag her eyes away from Jason's) You shouldn't be here.

Jason: (takes another step toward Robin but this time Robin took a step back. Jason looks questionably at Robin) Robin? What's wrong?

Robin: I have to get back inside.

Jason: (desperately) Please wait Robin. Tell me what I did wrong.

Robin: Wrong?

Jason: I waited for you at the lake. Why didn't you come? What happened after Luke's that made you stayed away?

Robin: (hearing the hurt in Jason's voice) I should have called and cancelled.

Jason: Why? I don't understand Robin. You're different. You're not the same person I held in my arms at Luke's (before Robin could respond Luis stepped onto the terrace. Jason stepped back in the shadow.)

Luis: (goes to Robin) Are you alright?

Robin: I just needed some air.

Luis: Everyone is ready to call it a night. Are you ready to go?

Robin: Yes (Robin let Luis lead her back inside. Jason watches Robin pass by him without a glance. He was more confused now than before. Jason waited for the place to empty out.)

Brenda: I'll be there in a minute (Brenda steps onto the terrace and turns to Jason) I can see you Jason.

Jason: (steps forward) What do you want?

Brenda: I saw Robin talking to you. What happened?

Jason: Nothing.

Brenda: She didn't say anything to you?

Jason: Nothing that made sense.

Brenda: Damn. Are you coming tomorrow?

Jason: I don't think so.

Brenda: No, I want you there, Jason.

Jason: Why? You can barely stand me.

Brenda: I don't care. I want you there.

Jason: It might be better for Robin if I'm not. She didn't look very happy to see me.

Brenda: I'll work on Robin. You just make sure you're there tomorrow.

Jason: Why?

Brenda: You want Robin back don't you?

Jason: What are you planning?

Brenda: Just be there (Brenda suddenly goes and gives Jason a kiss on the cheek) you are favorite ex-husband.

Jason: I'm your only ex-husband.

Brenda: Yeah well, I only plan on having one. Don't give up on Robin. She's fighting you.

Jason: Brenda?

Brenda: I've already said enough. Come tomorrow (Jason nods and Brenda leaves)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny and Carly are sitting with each other on the couch. It was a quiet night for them.

Carly: Are you okay?

Sonny: Yeah, why?

Carly: Well Brenda is getting married tomorrow. I was wondering if you're okay with that.

Sonny: There's nothing I can do about her wanting to marry that joke.

Carly: Does it matter who Brenda marries?

Sonny: I suppose not (Carly looks suspiciously at Sonny. Her phone rings)

Carly: (answers quickly) Hello?

Voice: I want you here now!

Carly: Can't it wait until tomorrow? (Sonny watching Carly)

Voice: No. We're running out of time.

Carly: Fine. I'll be there (she hangs up) I have to go.

Sonny: Where? It's late.

Carly: According to my parole officer, I'm under his timetable.

Sonny: He wants to see you now?

Carly: Yes. I'll be back in a bit (Sonny watches Carly leaves. After a few minutes, Sonny goes to the door.)

Sonny: Did Carlos drive Carly?

Johnny: No Mrs. Corinthos drove herself. Is something wrong?

Sonny: No (Sonny walks back inside distracted) what's going on Carly? What are you up to?

Setting: Motel outside of Port Charles

Carly: I'm tired of you calling and I have to come running.

David: With any luck, tonight will be last night we see each other.

Carly: What are you planning?

David: I want you to finish Robin off tomorrow at the reception.

Carly: (shocked) What?

David: You heard me.

Carly: How am I supposed to do that? I'm not even invited.

David: Come up with something.

Carly: What if I refused?

David: I have a package ready to be delivered to your precious husband.

Carly: I'll tell Sonny the truth tonight.

David: Michael, your little boy, had a checkup at GH today.

Carly: So?

David: I hope his health is fine.

Carly: What game are you playing? (Gets in David's face) If you hurt my son I kill you myself

David: (grabs Carly by the throat) Really? How are you going to do that? I can snap your neck right now and no one would care. In fact, I think everyone is this town would celebrate (Carly's eyes fill with tears) your tears are not going to help you here. Do what I want or your son will die and your husband will know what kind of trash you really are (David released Carly's neck and pushes her away from her. Carly stumbles as she rubs her neck looking at David.)

Carly: What did you do to Michael?

David: Let's just say I gave him something to stop his growth.

Carly: (tears run down her face) He's an innocent little boy. How can you be so cruel?

David: I can ask you the same question. Didn't you use that innocent little boy to drive a wedge between Robin and Jason?

Carly: That's different.

David: Whatever. What will it be? Are you going to finish the job or am I going to have to finish you?

Carly: How do I know you won't turn against me? (David doesn't bother to responds.) I can always tell the truth.

David: It's going to be hard for anyone to believe after your previous attempts to kill Robin.

Carly: You expect me to kill Robin?

David: Tomorrow. I want you to shoot her with this when she makes her speech (hands Carly a tranquilizer gun.)

Carly: What's in here?

David: Revenge.

Carly: For what?

David: You don't need to know the details.

Carly: How do you expect me to get close to her?

David: You'll find a way.

Carly: What about if someone stops me before I get the shot off?

David: This is your last chance. I won't accept failure.

Carly: I can't guarantee you this.

David: I'll be there to guarantee that you won't live to see another day if you fail.

Carly: Then why don't you do it?

David: Why get my hand dirty when I have you?

Carly: Damn you! You never helped me did you? I played right into your hands.

David: Actually, I thought you would be pregnant by now. I don't mess around when it comes to medicine. Make sure you aim good Carly because your son's life depends on it.

Carly: When do I get the antidote for Michael?

David: When the doctor pronounces Robin dead.

Carly: (wipes her tears) You bastard! I'll get you for this.

David: I don't think so. You'll be too busy with your new life.

Carly: (suspiciously) What do you mean?

David: You don't think that you're going to get away with killing Robin, do you?

Carly: (horrified at the situation) I lose either way.

David: And the selfish Carly shows. It's either your life or your son's life. But either way you'll lose everything because your precious Sonny will have had enough of your lies (Carly was speechless. She finally met someone as cruel and calculating as her. The difference is this person wants to destroy her. Carly hurriedly leaves.)

Setting: The cottage

The time was drawing near for Brenda to walk down the aisle. The weather was beautiful. There was a slight breeze with the sun behind it. The reception area was ready for the guests to enjoy. Guests started to arrive at the ceremony site. Brenda had the florist added more flowers along the riverbed. Inside, Brenda, Robin and Julia were getting ready.

Robin: I can't believe you're not nervous (Robin and Julia were helping Brenda into her dress)

Brenda: I know it's weird but I'm just not. This is the best decision I've ever made in my life.

Julia: (arranges the dress around Brenda) Well you look absolutely beautiful. Jax won't be able to remember his vows.

Brenda: (looks at herself in the mirror) It is a beautiful dress.

Robin: Not as beautiful as you (Brenda put each arm around Robin and Julia waists and smiles.)

Brenda: Thank you for being here with me today. You both have made this day so special for me (tears springs to three pairs of eyes.)

Julia: Ok stop. We can't have you ruining your makeup with tears. I'm going to go and let everyone know you're ready.

Brenda: Ok (Julia leaves. Brenda takes Robin's hand in hers.) Thank you for being my maid of honor Robin.

Robin: You don't need to thank me.

Brenda: I want you to know something. Just because I'm marrying Jax doesn't mean that you're not a priority to me. You'll always be my priority.

Robin: No Brenda. I don't want to be your priority and I shouldn't be. Jax should be your first and foremost priority. You're taking vows today to honor each other. The only way to do that is if Jax is the most important thing to you. And he should be Brenda. I will be alright. I'm not losing you because you're marrying Jax. I'm gaining a brother. Be happy. That's what I want for you and Jax (Brenda tightly hugs Robin)

Brenda: I know you'll find happiness Robin. Remember, Jax and I had to go through a lot of pain to find each other. Pain makes us stronger Robin, not weaker. Don't be afraid to take that chance (Robin looks at Brenda almost confused, trying to figure out what Brenda is talking about.)

Edward: (peeking his head in) Are we ready? (Brenda and Robin turn to Edward) You both are a sight to behold.

Brenda: (smiles at Edward) Hi Edward. They're ready for us?

Edward: Yes.

Brenda: We're ready.

Robin: I'll wait for you outside.

Setting: Ceremony site

Everyone who was invited showed up for the wedding. Jax, Jerry and Ned are standing at the front of the aisle in their handsome tux. There's soft music playing the background. The guests filled both sides of seats. Jason was sitting with Alexis and Kristina 2 rows back. He had a perfect view of the altar. The wedding march starts and everyone stands up. Julia makes her way down the aisle. She smiles at Aidan as she passed by him. Robin was next to walk down the aisle. She catches eyes with Luis and smiles. Robin sees Jason as she walks closer to the altar. Jason holds his breath as he watched Robin approached the front. Neither Jason nor Robin could look away from the other. Robin takes her place next to Julia. She still couldn't take her eyes away from Jason. The music grew louder as everyone turned their attention to Brenda. Brenda walks gracefully down the aisle. She had a big smile on her face. Jax couldn't stop smiling. Brenda was breathtaking in her dress. Brenda hands her bouquet to Robin and takes her place next to Jax. The minister starts the wedding. As Brenda and Jax say their vows to each other, Robin eyes meet Jason's. Neither looked away. Jason continues to hold Robin's eyes as Brenda and Jax finished their vows. Robin heart was beating frantically against her ribs. She felt as if Jason was saying the vows to her with his eyes. She tried to look away but couldn't. Finally the minister pronounces Brenda and Jax husband and wife and cheers broke out. Robin snapped out of her trance. Brenda and Jax exchanges kiss and hugs with everyone. Brenda and Jax lead the way to the reception tent. Jason tried to get Robin's attention but she was being lead away by Jerry. Jason makes his way to the tent with everyone else.

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny walked in to an empty penthouse. Sonny goes to turn on the light. On the couch was an envelope with Sonny's name. He reached for it and opened it. Inside was a note.

Sonny: (reading out loud) I need to make things right, love Carly (Sonny's head starts to spin) What are you up to Carly? (Sonny goes to the door) Johnny, have you seen Carly?

Johnny: Mrs. Corinthos left about an hour ago. She was in a rush.

Sonny: Did she take Carlos?

Johnny: No sir.

Sonny: Get the car ready (Sonny went back inside. He had a bad feeling about this. Sonny picks up the phone and dials)

Jason: Morgan

Sonny: Jason, it's Sonny.

Jason: What's going on?

Sonny: Carly is missing. She left me a note.

Jason: What?

Sonny: She left a note that said she had to make things right.

Jason: What does that mean?

Sonny: I don't know but I don't like it.

Jason: You don't think she's here do you?

Sonny: She got another call late last night. She was very edgy when she returned.

Jason: Damn Sonny, why didn't you say anything sooner?

Sonny: I'm sorry. I'm on my way there.

Jason: I need to find Anna and Mac (Jason hangs up the phone and rushes to find Anna and Mac. Jason finally got to them.) We have trouble.

Mac: What? (All 3 step to the side)

Jason: Sonny just called. Carly is missing but he found a note she left him, something about making things right.

Anna: Sonny thinks Carly is here doesn't he?

Jason: Yes. Carly got another late call last night. He said she was edgy afterwards.

Mac: Ok, we need to keep an eye out for Carly. I'll call for backups.

Jason: What about Robin?

Mac: Why don't you see if you can hang close to her?

Anna: I'll start combing the area (Mac, Anna and Jason went their own way. Jason makes his way over to Robin. Jerry was standing close by Robin, which was good. Everyone start to take their places at their assigned table. The wedding party made their way to the front of the center table.

Jerry: Everyone, can I have your attention? (The room quiets down) this is a big day for the Jack's family. We've gained a beautiful addition to our family and we all got to witness the love that Jax and Brenda share for each other. I thought that this was the most appropriate song for their first dance as husband and wife.

The band struck up Vanessa Williams "Saved the Best for Last". Brenda and Jax make their way to the dance floor. Jason was standing to side closest to Robin. Anna was standing toward the back of the room and Mac was standing on the other side of Jason. All three made eye contact with each other indicating nothing. Everyone watched as Brenda and Jax finished their dance together.

Jerry: (stands up with a glass) I guess as the best man I'm supposed to make a toast to the happy couple. I hope that Robin doesn't mind too much that I go first. If I wait too much longer, there's serious chance that I might really embarrass my brother (everyone laughs) and we don't want that.

Sonny silently walks and stands next to Jason.

Sonny: Did you see Carly?

Jason: No.

Sonny: Does Robin know?

Jason: There wasn't an opportunity to tell her.

Jerry finishes his speech and sits down. Robin stands up with her glass. Jason keeps his eyes on Robin.

Robin: (smiles at Brenda and Jax) When Brenda first introduced me to Jax, I thought he was the most handsome man I've ever seen. But Brenda didn't really see Jax that way. She saw someone who cherishes and loves her. Jax was never shy about his feelings for Brenda, as you all know. I was very lucky to witness their love for each grow and blossom. And I was also there when Jax grieved for Brenda. The love that Jax has for Brenda is infinite and unconditional. It's a love that we all dream of receiving ...

Toward the back of the room David was hiding behind a pole. He watches Robin intently. Where's Carly? Impatient, David aims a gun at Robin. As Robin raises her glass Carly came running toward Robin passing Sonny and Jason.

Carly: (yelling) Robin, get down (Jason quickly runs toward Robin. David fires his gun before Anna could get hers off. Everyone screams as shots were heard. Sonny covered Carly with his body. Mac ran quickly to Robin and pulls her down to the ground. Everyone ducked under the table. Anna makes her way over to David with her gun aiming at his head. David was taking shallow breaths.)

Anna: Why David?

David: A child for a child Anna.

Anna: (shocked) I had a miscarriage David.

David: You wouldn't have had it if you stayed with me. Robin was more important to you than our child.

Anna: (tears in her eyes) I loved our child.

David: More than Robin?

Anna: I don't have to choose between my children.

David: I love you Anna (he managed to say)

Anna: Your love is poison (Anna watches as David takes his last breaths.)

Across the way

Mac: Robin, are you alright?

Robin: Yes, I'm fine.

Mac: Stay here. I need to check on Anna (Mac starts to stand when they heard Carly's loud voice.)

Carly: Jason! (Mac couldn't stop Robin from running to Jason. When Robin got to Jason, he was lying facedown on the ground his back covered in blood. Sonny was holding Carly back from Jason. Robin kneels down next to Jason.

Robin: (with tears down her face) Uncle Mac I need your gloves (Mac reached inside his pockets and hands gloves the Robin.) Could you place a coat under Jason's head while I check his wounds? (Robin voice was calm but her tears gave her away. Anna helped Mac with Jason. Robin checked for Jason's pulse and searched for his wound. Jax, Ned, and Jerry tried to keep everyone away from Jason so Robin could work on him.) Monica, Jason has a weak pulse. I can't find the bullet wound (Monica kneels down next to Robin and put on the gloves that Anna gives her. Monica slowly searches for the wound.)

Monica: (applying pressure to the center of Jason's spine) I found it. Mac, I need your belt (Mac gives Monica his belt. Robin and Monica wrapped the belt around Jason's chest to help stop the bleeding.)

Jax: The ambulance is here Robin.

Monica: We need to be careful. We don't know if there's an exit wound.

The 3 MT's came and they placed Jason on the stretcher. They placed an oxygen mask on Jason. Robin and Monica follow the MT and Jason into the ambulance. Robin held on to Jason's hand.

Monica: Robin, Jason is strong.

Robin: His pulse is weak. We need to get him into surgery.

Monica: Robin, you can't be in the surgery room.

Robin: (shakes her head) I can't leave him.

Monica: Robin listen to me. You are a doctor. You know emotions can be a factor when you're operating. It clouds your judgments. You can view the surgery from outside (Robin nods her head without turning away from Jason. Robin was silently praying as tears run down her face.)

Back at the wedding site...

Taggert had cuffed Carly and placed her in a police car. Anna and Mac were with Sonny questioning him.

Anna: I need some answers Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: I told Jason all I knew.

Mac: That you thought Carly was going to try to kill Robin again?

Sonny: I didn't see Carly trying to kill Robin, did you?

Anna: Don't play games with me Mr. Corinthos. Your wife didn't suddenly develop a conscious. What is her relation with David Hayward?

Sonny: I've never heard of him.

Mac: Why were you not surprise when Carly showed up?

Sonny: I told you I thought she would.

Anna: I'm tired of your games (Anna turns to the officer) cuff him and take him to the station.

Sonny: You can't arrest me.

Anna: Conspiracy to murder is a crime Mr. Corinthos. You knew what your wife was going to do and you didn't notify the authorities (to the officer) read him his rights also (they watch as the officer leads Sonny away.)

Mac: Are you sure that was a good idea?

Anna: I'm tired of his excuses for his demented wife.

Mac: Are you okay?

Anna: Yes.

Mac: What did David say to you?

Anna: I can't talk about it (moves to walk away but Mac stops her.)

Mac: Don't let him win. He's dead. He's out of our lives.

Anna: At what price? Jason could be dying. Robin will have to live with the guilt of Jason's death.

Mac: We don't know what Jason's condition is. Don't believe the worst.

Anna: I let my guard down and Robin almost got killed.

Mac: You are not to blame (Brenda and Jax came up to Anna and Mac.)

Brenda: We're heading to the hospital.

Anna: We'll be right behind you. I'm sorry about your wedding.

Jax: Don't be. We'll see you at the hospital (Brenda and Jax leave.)

Taggert: (to Mac and Anna) David Hayward's body has been taken to the morgue.

Mac: Anna and I are heading to the hospital. Could you finish up here for me?

Taggert: Yes commissioner.

Mac: Thanks Taggert.

When the ambulance got to GH, Jason was rushed into surgery. Robin ordered additional blood to be sent up from the blood bank. Robin stood outside the doors as Monica and surgeons work on Jason. Robin so desperately wanted to be inside but she knew Monica was right. She was too emotional and her judgments are impaired. She was a danger to Jason. Robin looked down at her dress and it was covered with Jason's blood. Tears form in her eyes. Robin mindlessly walks outside as Brenda and Jax walk in. Brenda rushed to Robin.

Brenda: Robin? (Robin just looks at Brenda with tears in her eyes) Robin, how's Jason?

Robin: (blinks a couple of times) He's in surgery.

Jax: (puts his arms around Robin and leads her to a chair) Robin, what can we do?

Robin: Nothing. I can't do anything.

Jax: You did what you could do (Robin looks up a Jax with confusion on her face)

Robin: (in a small voice) Jason lost so much blood.

Brenda: Robin (gets up and kneels in front of Robin. Brenda takes Robin's hands in hers) Robin, you need to be strong for Jason. Don't give up hope. Jason is strong. He'll make it through this (Robin looks at Brenda and tightly embraces Brenda) Oh Sweetie Jason will be fine.

Robin: I can't lose him Brenda (continues to hold Brenda.)

Brenda: You won't (Anna and Mac came walking in. Anna's heart stopped seeing Robin in Brenda's arms.)

Anna: (softly) Robin?

Robin: (looks over at Anna) Mom (Robin runs over to Anna and embraces her.)

Anna: (tears forms in Anna's eyes) I'm here. Is Jason?

Robin: He's in surgery (Anna breathes a sigh of relief. Anna takes Robin's face in her hands.)

Anna: I know that this is tough but you have to be strong. Jason needs you to be strong for him. Jason is a survivor. Mac told me so (Robin nods) let's get you clean up a little (Anna leads Robin to the restroom as Mac, Jax and Brenda look on.)

Mac: No word yet on Jason?

Jax: No. What happened back there?

Mac: I still don't know (Mac takes a seat.) From what we gathered, Sonny found a note at the penthouse from Carly saying something about making things right. Sonny called Jason believing Carly was on her way to your wedding. Carly was either going to shoot Robin herself or knew that David was going to shoot Robin.

Brenda: David? Who's David?

Mac: David Hayward, Anna's ex-husband.

Jax: I don't understand.

Mac: We believe that David and Carly were working together to kill Robin. We don't know why (Luke, Liz, Lucky, Emily and Nicholas come walking)

Luke: How's Jason?

Mac: We don't know yet.

Emily: Where's Robin?

Mac: She's with Anna.

Emily: How is she?

Mac: She's hanging in there (everyone sits down lost in their own thoughts. After a couple of minutes, Anna and Robin return.)

Emily: Robin (walks up to Robin)

Robin: (wobbly smile) Hi.

Emily: How are you doing?

Robin: I'm not the one on the operating table.

Emily: Jason is strong.

Mac: Robin, Anna and I need to get to the station. We have Carly and Sonny in custody.

Robin: (with questions in her eyes) Sonny? Why?

Anna: I arrested him because he wouldn't answer my questions.

Robin: Mom.

Anna: I will not tolerate his lying. Are you going to be alright here?

Robin: Yes.

Mac: We'll be back as soon as we can.

Robin: Ok (Anna and Mac each hugs Robin and leaves. Robin sits down next to Brenda and wait.)

After an hour or so Mike and Courtney come rushing in. Mike sees Robin sitting with everyone. He approached her with Courtney behind him.

Mike: Robin how's Jason?

Robin: He's still in surgery.

Mike: He was shot?

Robin: Yes.

Mike: Why? I don't understand.

Robin: I don't know the whole story.

Courtney: (angrily) Jason was probably trying to save your life.

Brenda: (jumps in) You're out of line!

Courtney: Jason wouldn't have been anywhere near that wedding if it wasn't for her.

Brenda: Jason loves Robin!

Courtney: (in a accusing tone) Look where it got him.

Robin: It's my fault that Jason was shot. The shot was aimed at me but Jason jumped in.

Brenda: No Robin.

Robin: It's the truth.

Mike: It's a bad situation all around. No one is blaming you Robin.

Courtney: If Jason dies, it's on your head.

Emily: (stands up) Jason is my brother! He is his own person. He wanted to protect Robin. You are out of line by placing blame on Robin. Robin has no control over Jason's actions. No one does.

Courtney: (backs down a little) I care for Jason.

Emily: We all do. But no one here is to be blame for the situation (Emily takes Robin's hand and leads her to a seat. Brenda gives Courtney a dirty look and goes to sit back down next to Jax.) Don't listen to her Robin.

Robin: She's right Emily.

Emily: Jason would die a million times before he let anything hurt you. He loves you Robin.

Robin: I bring him nothing but pain.

Emily: No you give reasons to live. Jason has been so happy these last few months. He could barely wait to start another day. And it was because of you Robin.

Liz gets up from her chair and walks over to Courtney who was standing by the door.

Liz: What do you think you're doing?

Courtney: What?

Liz: How dare you blame Robin for this?

Courtney: You know as well as I do if she wasn't around, Jason wouldn't be fighting for his life.

Liz: Let's get something straight. Even if Robin weren't here, Jason still wouldn't be with you.

Courtney: You don't know that.

Liz: Oh yes I do. I would have dedicated my life in keeping Jason away from you.

Courtney: You're that jealous of me?

Liz: (laughs) Are you kidding? You have nothing and I mean nothing for me to be jealous of. At least when you were with AJ, you were something. Now you're nothing but Sonny Corinthos younger sister.

Courtney: You're being cruel Elizabeth.

Liz: And what were you earlier? Get this through your head Jason would die for Robin. This is not the first time Jason took a bullet for Robin (Liz walks off leaving an angry Courtney behind.)

Setting: Mac's office

Mac: I need you tell me what David said Anna.

Anna: Mac.

Mac: It's important. We need closure on this Anna.

Anna: (after a few seconds) I asked him why and he said a child for a child.

Mac: What? What is that supposed to mean?

Anna: David wanted to kill Robin like I killed our child.

Mac: You had a miscarriage Anna.

Anna: David believed that I didn't take care of myself because I was too busy with caring for Robin.

Mac: You know that is not true. Robin wasn't even in town when it happened.

Anna: I know. It doesn't make me feel any less guilty (Taggert comes in the office.)

Mac: What do you have Taggert? (Taggert hands Mac a clear bag with a tranquilizer gun) What's this?

Taggert: Carly had it in her possession when we booked her.

Anna: Why would Carly have a tranquilizer gun? Unless it's not...Taggert, get this to the lab immediately. Have them analyze the fluid.

Taggert: (confused) Why?

Anna: I'm certain it isn't tranquilizer fluid.

Taggert: (takes the bag back) I'll get right on it.

Mac: Anna?

Anna: David must have given that gun to Carly. And if he did, it's definitely not tranquilizer fluid.

Mac: I think it's time we talk to Carly (Anna and Mac heads to Carly's jail cell.)

Setting: Carly's jail cell

Carly was frantically pacing in her cell. Her face was smudged with makeup. She's been asking the guard that she needed to speak to Sonny but he doesn't respond. Carly is worried about Michael. She doesn't know what will happen to him now that David is dead. Anna and Mac stop in front of Carly's cell.

Mac: Are you ready to talk Carly?

Carly: (walks quickly to Mac and Anna) How's Jason?

Anna: We're not here to talk about Jason.

Carly: Just tell me if he's alive.

Anna: You tell us what we want to know and we'll tell you what you want to know (Anna look straight at Carly. Carly couldn't hold Anna's look.)

Carly: What is going to happen to me?

Mac: It depends on how you cooperate.

Carly: I need to speak to Sonny.

Anna: He's a little busy right now.

Carly: What? Why?

Anna: He's being booked for conspiracy to murder.

Carly: (shocked) What? Sonny doesn't know anything.

Anna: Sonny came to distract Jason so you could kill Robin.

Carly: NO! That's not what happened.

Mac: Then what happened?

Carly: I need to speak to Sonny first.

Mac: No deal (Mac and Anna turn to leave)

Carly: Wait (Mac and Anna turn back to Carly.) I'll talk.

Mac: Guard (the guard comes, unlock the gate and handcuffs Carly) let's go.

Setting: Questioning room

Mac: How do know David Hayward?

Carly: He performed surgery on me.

Anna: Why?

Carly: I wasn't able to conceive and I found through different sources that David was performing research on fertility options.

Anna: Where did you go to have the operation?

Carly: Mexico.

Anna: Why Mexico?

Carly: The procedure was illegal here in the states.

Mac: That didn't scare you off?

Carly: I wanted to get pregnant.

Anna: David agreed to do the procedure for you. Why?

Carly: He had me go over my past with him. When I told him that I lived in Port Charles, he was interested in working with me.

Mac: Why?

Carly: He didn't say.

Anna: Now is not the time to start lying.

Carly: I'm not. David said that he'll do the surgery but it'll cost me. I told him that money wasn't an option but he didn't want money.

Anna: What did he want?

Carly: He said that he guarantees that I'll get pregnant if I would kill Robin.

Anna: You agreed?

Carly: Not at first but I did eventually.

Mac: So David performed the surgery.

Carly: He performed the surgery but he said there was a second procedure. He wanted me to perform my part of the bargain before he does the second procedure.

Mac: Go on.

Carly: You have to understand I didn't really want to hurt Robin. I just needed to get pregnant.

Mac: What happened?

Carly: I arranged for someone to mug Robin.

Anna: But Robin survived.

Carly: David found out and said that our deal was off.

Anna: Is that when you tried to kill Robin the second time?

Carly: I panicked. David said he had evidence that I tried to kill Robin the first time and that he had our conversation taped. He threatened to go to Sonny. I told him I wouldn't do anything until he completes the second procedure. But there wasn't a second procedure. He gave me some drugs that he said I needed to start taking to heal my fallopian tubs. He warned me that the drugs haven't been tested for side effects. I didn't care. I started taking the drugs.

Anna: Did you become pregnant?

Carly: No.

Mac: Then what happened?

Carly: The Nurse's Ball. I was shocked to see him at the ball. I didn't know why he was there. I was worried that he was going to tell Sonny about our arrangement. When I saw David he said he was going to give me another chance to complete my end of the deal. The night before the wedding he called me (Carly started to cry.)

Anna: Why?

Carly: He said that I was to shoot Robin when she got up to make her speech.

Anna: You agreed?

Carly: I had to. He told me he gave Michael some drug yesterday during Michael's checkup and that if I didn't kill Robin then he would let Michael die.

Anna: What else?

Carly: He said either way my life was over.

Anna: What's in the gun?

Carly: I don't know.

Mac: Are you sure?

Carly: Yes, I'm not lying. Now can you tell me about Jason?

Anna: He's still in surgery.

Carly: What about Michael? I don't have the antidote.

Mac: I'll call AJ.

Carly: What happens now?

Anna: You better hope that Jason makes through surgery or else you and your husband will spend the rest of your lives in jail.

Carly: Sonny didn't do anything.

Anna: He knew you were going to kill Robin and he didn't go to the authorities. That's conspiracy Mrs. Corinthos.

Carly: (cries harder) Please I beg you. Sonny didn't know anything. I did this all on my own.

Anna: The jury will decide that (Anna signals for the guard to take Carly away.)

Setting: GH

The same group was still there. They still haven't heard anything about Jason. Robin was growing scare as more time passed. It didn't look good that Jason's been in surgery for so long. Worriedly, Robin got up. Emily and Brenda exchanged looks.

Bobbie: (comes out surgery and approaches Robin from behind) Robin.

Robin: (with worried on her face) Jason?

Bobbie: Monica is still working on him. He lost a lot of blood. The bullet is lodge in Jason's spinal cord. Monica is trying to retrieve it without damaging the spinal cord. I just came out to give you an update. Jason's vitals are strong Robin. Monica is optimistic. I have to get back inside.

Robin: Thank you Bobbie (Bobbie leaves)

Brenda: That's a good sign.

Robin: Yes.

Emily: Can I get you anything Robin? You haven't eaten anything for a while.

Robin: I can't eat Emily.

Emily: Robin, you need to eat so you can take your meds.

Brenda: Emily, why don't you see if you can find something light for Robin to eat? I'll stay here with Robin.

Liz: I'll come with you Emily

Brenda: Hey, Jason is strong. He'll pull through. You'll see.

Robin: God Brenda, I'd give anything to see his beautiful blue eyes look at me right now. He has to be alright.

Julia: (comes walking in with Aidan carrying a bag) Robin?

Robin: (smiles a little) Hi.

Aidan: How's Jason? (He hugs her tightly.)

Robin: He's still in surgery.

Julia: We picked up some clothes for you to change into (hands Robin the bag)

Robin: Thank you.

Brenda: Why don't I go with you? (Robin nods and walks off with Brenda. Julia and Aidan worries.)

Julia: (to Jax) Jason has been in surgery a long time.

Jax: The bullet is lodge in his spinal cord. Monica is trying to get it out without damaging the spinal cord.

Aidan: What are his chances?

Jax: Monica is optimistic.

Aidan: As much as I hate the guy, I thank God that he was there. He saved Robin's life.

Jax: Yes. Robin is having a hard time dealing with that.

Setting: PCPD

Mac: (looks up as Anna walks in) I just got off the phone with AJ. Michael didn't have a checkup yesterday. He's not due for one until next month.

Anna: David was bluffing?

Mac: In fact Michael has been at home the last 3 days because he sprained his ankle.

Anna: Carly didn't know this?

Mac: Obviously not (Taggert walks in)

Taggert: The results came back (hands the bag to Mac) the guys didn't want to touch this after finding out what it was.

Mac: What?

Taggert: It's some drug that stops the movement of cells.

Anna: A lethal injection.

Taggert: Pretty much but the effect is not as fast. How did Carly get this?

Mac: David Hayward.

Taggert: The doctor?

Anna: (anguish in her voice) He wanted Robin to die slowly (Mac and Taggert looks at each. Taggert leaves quietly.)

Mac: (goes to Anna) Robin is fine Anna. She's safe. He can't hurt her anymore.

Anna: I don't know what I would do if I lost Robin.

Mac: We're not going to lose Robin. We should probably head back to GH. Jason should be out of surgery now (Anna nods and they leave together.)

Setting: GH

Robin was standing outside the surgery doors looking in. She wanted so much to go in and touch Jason. Aidan walks up to Robin.

Aidan: Hi.

Robin: Hi. I can't see Jason's face. Can you?

Aidan: Yes. He's not scowling at me.

Robin: (smiles a little) He doesn't scowl all the time.

Aidan: How are you doing?

Robin: Fine. I wish I were on that table instead of Jason.

Aidan: No, then Jason would be standing right here scowling at me.

Robin: He is really a good person Aidan.

Aidan: He saved you.

Robin: Yes.

Aidan: His first instinct was to protect you. How can I hate the guy? He loves you as much as I love you.

Robin: I bring him a lot of hurt.

Aidan: In order to love, you have to hurt. You both have hurt each other. The past needs to be forgotten and forgiven.

Robin: You've forgiven Jason for hurting me?

Aidan: He gave up his life for you Robin. I can't ask more from him. I know that I haven't been exactly nice to the guy but I can't fault him for protecting you.

Robin: I don't need Jason to protect me.

Aidan: It comes with the territory Robin. You tried to protect Jason by telling the truth and Jason tries to protect you with his life. Is one way more acceptable than the other? No. It's how you love each other. Accept it (Robin looks at Aidan. She understood what Aidan was trying to say.)

Robin: (smiles as she wraps her arms around Aidan's) Thank you for being here with me.

Aidan: (wraps his arms around Robin) There's nowhere else I rather be. Come on let's go wait outside.

When Aidan and Robin arrived back at the waiting area Mac and Anna had already arrived. Anna looks worriedly at Robin.

Anna: How are you doing honey?

Robin: I'm fine.

Anna: You haven't heard anything more?

Robin: (shakes her head) No. Is Sonny still in jail?

Anna: Yes. Scott will have to decide to do with Carly and Sonny.

Robin: How are you?

Anna: I'm fine as long as you're okay.

Robin: I'm sorry about David.

Anna: Don't be. He's not worth your compassion.

Robin: Mom, I don't want you to blame yourself for any of this. It was out of your hands.

Anna: I'm trying

After an hour or so, Monica finally walks out. She smiles a little seeing everyone waiting for Jason.

Monica: Robin?

Robin: (everyone gets up as Robin rushes to Monica) How's Jason?

Monica: He's stable. We got the bullet out.

Robin: Is there any damages to his spinal cord?

Monica: I didn't see any but we won't know for sure until Jason wakes up. He'll probably be out for another hour or so. He lost a lot of blood.

Robin: Thank you Monica.

Monica: You're welcome. You can go see him.

Robin: Thank you (Robin looks over at Emily) Emily?

Emily: I'll wait right here for you (Robin nods and walks away.)

Anna: Will Jason make a full recovery Monica?

Monica: I didn't see any permanent damages. We'll know more when Jason wakes.

Anna: Thank you Monica. It sounds really bad for me to thank you for saving your own son's life but I owe Jason so much. He saved Robin.

Monica: I understand. Jason would rather die than let anything happen to Robin (Courtney was a little tiff hearing Monica say this.) I need to get clean up.

Mac: Thank you Monica

Setting: Jason's room

Robin made her way into Jason's room. She sucked in her breath when she saw Jason lying so still. Robin walked over to Jason's bed and tenderly lifts Jason's hand. She caresses it lightly with her finger and lifts it up against her cheeks. Tears flow down Robin's cheeks.

Robin: (softly) I'm so sorry you got hurt Jason. That is the last thing I ever want. You have done and given me so much and all I ever seem to do is bring you pain (Robin lightly kisses Jason's hand) thank you for loving me Jason. No one could ever love me as much as you do (Robin lightly touches Jason's forehead. Robin whispers lightly to Jason) I love you Jason. More than you'll ever know (Robin tenderly kisses Jason on the lips. She lays Jason's hand down.) There are a lot of people waiting for you to wake up. Will you wake up for...

Courtney: Is he awake?

Robin: (a little startled, she looks over at Courtney) No.

Courtney: He looks pale.

Robin: Jason lost a lot of blood.

Courtney: (walks toward Jason and Robin) Robin, I don't want to hurt you but I don't think you should see Jason anymore (Robin looks at Courtney with hurt in her eyes) his love for you makes him suffer.

Robin: What are you saying?

Courtney: How many times must Jason risks his life for you? Will he always be this lucky?

Robin looks away from Courtney back to Jason. Robin knew Courtney was right. Robin was about to leave when she felt Jason's hand moved over hers. She quickly turns back to Jason. Jason's eyes flutters open. Robin steps closer to Jason.

Robin: (softly) Jason? (Jason takes a few seconds to open his eyes. Robin smiles at him.) Hi

Jason: (smiles crookedly) Robin.

Robin: Yes. I'm here.

Jason: Are you alright?

Robin: (laughs a little) I'm fine thanks to you.

Jason: (smiles at Robin) You're so beautiful (Jason lifts his hand to touch Robin's face. Robin places her hand over his. Courtney watches the exchanges with jealousy.)

Robin: You are the beautiful one (Robin placed a kiss on Jason's hand) everyone is outside waiting for you.

Jason: (shakes his head) I only want to see you (Courtney steps forward.)

Courtney: Hi Jason (Jason looks over at Courtney) How are you feeling? (Robin watches Jason responds.)

Jason: Fine. Why are you standing over there? (Courtney steps closer to Jason. Robin steps away from Jason as Courtney reaches for Jason's hand. Without Jason's notice, Robin quietly walks out of the room.)

Courtney: You scared me.

Jason: I'm fine. Robin, I... (Jason turns to the direction where Robin was standing) where's Robin?

Courtney: (fakes ignorance) She probably went back outside (Jason shakes his head a little and remove his hand from Courtney) is your head hurting you? (No response)

Robin walks out a little confused, bewildered...relief. Brenda walked over to Robin.

Brenda: Robin?

Robin: Yes?

Brenda: What's wrong? Why do you have that look on your face?

Robin: (shakes herself a little) Jason is awake.

Brenda: That's great. Why aren't you in there with Jason?

Robin: Courtney is in there.

Brenda: What? Why is she in there? I'm going to go get her (Robin stops her.)

Robin: Don't Brenda.

Brenda: (looks questionably at Robin) Robin?

Robin: Just let her be (Emily and Nicholas walk over)

Emily: How's Jason?

Brenda: (gives Emily at look) Jason is awake. Courtney is in there with him.

Emily: (looks at Brenda confused) I want to see Jason. I'll be back in a bit (Emily walks off as Brenda and Robin head over to the chairs.)

Luke: That's good news about Jason Luv.

Robin: (smiles slightly) Yes it is.

Luke: I think I'm going to head out. Will you tell Jason I'll be back to see him later?

Robin: I will (they hugs)

Liz: Lucky and I are going to head out also. Call if you need anything.

Robin: I will. Thank you for being here.

Lucky: Give Jason our best.

Robin: I will (turns to Brenda and Jax) why don't you guys head out? I'm sorry your wedding was spoiled.

Jax: We're married, you're safe and Jason is alive. That's all that matters.

Brenda: Jax is right.

Robin: Thank you so much.

Jax: Not necessary (Jax hugs Robin tightly) don't wear yourself out.

Brenda: (hugs Robin) Bye sweetie. Call me if you need me.

Robin: I will.

Julia: I have to head out too Robin.

Robin: Thank you for the clothes.

Julia: Your welcome (Julia hugs Robin and then leaves with Brenda and Jax. Robin, Aidan, Anna and Mac were the only ones left in the waiting room.)

Meanwhile...

Emily and Nicholas walk into Jason's room and see Courtney by Jason's bedside. Emily walks over to Jason.

Emily: Hey you. How are you feeling? (Emily steps in front of Courtney)

Jason: Fine.

Emily: You know there are other ways to win Robin's heart (Courtney rolls her eyes.)

Jason: You think it worked? (Smiles a little)

Emily: I say so.

Jason: Where's Robin?

Emily: She wanted me to spend some time with you. I am after all your sister (Emily gives Courtney a look.) You look tired. Why don't you go back to sleep?

Jason: Ok. Will you ask Robin to come back?

Emily: I will (Emily bends down and gives Jason a kiss on the forehead. She watches as Jason closes his eyes. Emily turns to Courtney) Jason needs his rest.

Courtney: I'm not disturbing him.

Emily: (lowers her voice a notch) You shouldn't be here. You're not his family.

Courtney: Neither is Robin.

Emily: Robin has the family's permission. You don't (Courtney didn't know what else to say so she walked out. Emily shakes her head.) I can't stand her.

Nicholas: I know. But she does care for Jason.

Emily: I still don't like her.

Emily and Nicholas came out the waiting to see Anna, Aidan, Mac and Robin sitting together quietly.

Emily: Why don't you guys head home? It's been a long day.

Robin: I can't leave but Emily's right you should go home.

Aidan: I don't have to work tomorrow so I'll stay with you.

Robin: It's not necessary.

Aidan: I'm not moving.

Mac: Anna and I have to head out. We'll come back after things are settled at the station.

Robin: Thank you Uncle Mac.

Mac: (hugs Robin) You're welcome.

Anna: Call me if you anything darling.

Robin: I will (Anna gives Robin a kiss on the cheeks and then leaves with Mac.)

Nicholas: I'll go and grab us something to eat.

Robin: You don't have to do that.

Nicholas: I do. We all need to eat something (Nicholas gives Emily a quick kiss and leaves.)

Emily: Jason asked for you.

Robin: He did?

Emily: Why don't you go on back in and sit with Jason?

Robin: Ok (Emily and Aidan watch Robin walks away)

Emily: She looks tired.

Aidan: I'm sure she won't rest until Jason is better.

Emily: You don't like Jason very much do you?

Aidan: I hate the guy but I'm finding it hard to still hate him when he goes and does something like this.

Emily: He really does love Robin.

Aidan: I hope so.

Setting: Jason's room

Robin walks in and sees Jason sleeping. Robin sits down in the chair by Jason. Robin watches as Jason sleeps peacefully. Robin smiles to herself. Jason is so peaceful when he sleeps. She remembers how she used to love to watch Jason sleeps.

Jason: Why are you smiling at me?

Robin: Why aren't you sleeping?

Jason: How am I supposed to sleep with you smiling at me? Why?

Robin: I was remembering how I used to love to watch you sleep. You're so beautiful.

Jason: I'm not beautiful.

Robin: You are to me.

Jason: You look tired.

Robin: I'm fine.

Jason: Have you gotten any sleep?

Robin: (laughs a little) Jason, stop worrying about me. You're the one who just came out of surgery.

Jason: So how am I?

Robin: You have single gunshot wound to the back. It was lodged against your spinal cord but Monica was able to remove it. You've lost a lot of blood.

Jason: That's it?

Robin: Jason, that's enough. Are you in any pain?

Jason: I feel a little pain in my back.

Robin: Probably the bullet entry. You should really try to rest Jason.

Jason: I can't sleep here.

Robin: I know you hate hospital but you just had surgery. You need to give your body some time to recover.

Jason: How's Sonny?

Robin: He's in jail. Mom got mad at him for not answering her questions so she threw him in jail.

Jason: Anna doesn't mess around does she?

Robin: No, she doesn't. Now will you try to get some sleep?

Jason: Will you stay for a while?

Robin: Yes (Robin watches as Jason fell back to sleep.)

Setting: Jason's room, morning

Jason was sleeping peacefully and Robin was still sitting in her chair. She was looking over some charts that Amy gave her. Robin couldn't sleep and she didn't want to leave Jason. Instead, she decided to do some work. That was how Luis found her.

Luis: (quietly) Robin?

Robin: (turns to Luis) Hi (she gets up from her chair and walks over to Luis) what are you doing here?

Luis: I figure you would be here. How are you doing?

Robin: I'm fine.

Luis: And Jason?

Robin: He made it through surgery (they walk to the side a little)

Luis: You look exhausted Robin. Why don't you go home and rest?

Robin: I can't leave Jason.

Luis: He's out of danger Robin.

Robin: I just can't leave him.

Luis: I don't understand why not. Jason made it through surgery. He needs rest to heal. You can't help him with that. You need to worry about your own health.

Robin: I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Jason.

Luis: I am very grateful to him for saving your life. But he wouldn't want you to wear yourself out.

Robin: (adamantly) I'm not leaving Jason.

Luis: What are you saying Robin? (Robin was silent for a few seconds) What do you mean by that Robin?

Robin: (realizes what she had to do) I don't want to hurt you Luis. You are such a big part of my life.

Luis: Just as you are mine.

Robin: I tried Luis. I tried so hard. But no matter what I do, I can't get Jason out of my heart.

Luis: Robin, I don't understand.

Robin: I still love Jason. I've never stopped loving Jason.

Luis: What about us?

Robin: You are so special to me. But you deserve someone who'll love you with all of her heart. Mine is not available (Jason hearing voices, wakes up. He sees Robin with Luis.)

Luis: Are you sure Robin?

Robin: I'm only sure of what I feel. I don't know what the future holds. But I know I want you in my future. I don't want to lose you.

Luis: Robin, you will never lose me. I will always be yours.

Robin: (with tears in her eyes) I love you Luis (Robin reaches for Luis hands.)

Luis: I know you do. I love you too (Luis leans down to tenderly kiss Robin. He wipes the tears from Robin's face) I better go (Robin looks over at Jason and sees he was still asleep.)

Robin: I'll walk you out

As Robin walks out with Luis, Jason opens his eyes. It was filled with tears. Robin and Luis stop outside Jason's doors.

Robin: I didn't mean to tell you like that.

Luis: I had hoped that you would come to love me as much as I love you. But I'm glad that you were honest with me.

Robin: I never wanted to hurt you Luis. Please know that.

Luis: I knew deep down that your heart still belonged to Jason but I wanted a chance to make you love me. I don't regret trying.

Robin: Thank you for understanding.

Luis: (looks sadly at Robin) Goodbye Robin.

Robin: Bye Luis (Robin watches Luis walked off. Robin took a deep breath. Robin stood for a minute in bewilderment. She didn't know what to do now that she's admitted her feelings for Jason.)

Emily: (approaches Robin) Robin, are you alright?

Robin: What? Emily.

Emily: What's wrong?

Robin: Nothing (smiles) everything is actually fine. Do you mind staying with Jason for a while? I need to get some air.

Emily: Sure (Emily watches as Robin walks off. Emily walks inside to Jason's room. She sees that Jason was awake.) Hey, you're awake (no response from Jason) are you grumpy because you're here? Mom said you probably could leave in a few days (Emily noticed that Jason's eyes were red, he looks sad) Jason, what's wrong?

Jason: (quietly) Nothing. Could you find Monica for me?

Emily: Why? Are you in pain?

Jason: Just find her for me Emily (he ordered.)

Emily: (confused) Ok, I'll be back in a minute.

On the rooftop...

Robin was standing near the edge and looking out at Port Charles. Robin smiles to herself. She felt different inside. She was happy. It felt good to finally admit that she loves Jason and that she never really stopped. When Luis asked her to leave Jason, something snapped inside of her. She couldn't see herself leaving Jason ever again. Her heart felt so full and complete. This was what she's been missing the last 5 years of her life.

Robin: (yell out to no one) I love Jason Morgan (a little quieter to herself) I love Jason (Robin smiles to herself. She turns and rushes to the door. She wanted to tell Jason. Robin didn't want to wait anymore. Robin quickly rushed to Jason's room. When she got there it was empty. Confused Robin thought she walked into the wrong room. Robin walks out to look at the room number again. It was the right room. Robin walks over to the nurse station.)

Robin: Where's Jason?

Nurse: He's been moved.

Robin: Why?

Nurse: I don't know. Dr. Quartermaine made the arrangements.

Robin: (confused) Where Dr. Quartermaine?

Nurse: Isolation unit.

Robin: (Robin felt a sense of dread sinking in) Isolation?

Nurse: Yes, Doctor (Robin walks toward the Isolation unit. She was only gone for an hour the most. What could have happened? Jason looked fine when she last saw him. Robin runs to the Isolation unit. Robin stopped when she saw Emily standing outside.) Emily?

Emily: (runs to Robin) Robin.

Robin: Emily, what happened? Where's Jason?

Emily: He's in there but they won't let anyone in.

Robin: Wait here. I'll find out what's going on (Robin walks to the door and opens it. But the security guard was there.) I'm Doctor Scorpio. I need to see Jason Morgan.

Guard: I'm sorry Doctor. No one is allowed to see the patient.

Robin: I'm a doctor here at General Hospital.

Guard: I know who you are. I have my orders.

Robin: Is Dr. Quartermaine in there?

Guard: Yes.

Robin: Will you tell her I need to speak to her? I'll wait outside (Robin walks back out.)

Emily: What's wrong with Jason?

Robin: I don't know. They wouldn't let me see him.

Emily: Robin, I don't understand.

Robin: I don't either.

Monica: (walks toward Emily and Robin) Emily, Robin.

Robin: (worries in her voice) Monica, why is Jason is isolation? What happened?

Monica: Jason doesn't want to see anyone. He requested that I move him in here.

Emily: But why?

Monica: He didn't really say.

Robin: This doesn't make sense. Why would Jason want to be in isolation unless there's something wrong? What's Jason's condition?

Monica: Jason is fine. There's no nerve damage. He probably can be release in a few days.

Emily: What are you not telling us?

Monica: I don't know anymore than what I've just told you. Why don't you girls go home and get some rest? You both have had a long couple of days.

Robin: I can't leave Jason.

Monica: He's fine Robin. Go home and rest.

Emily: I'll take you home Robin (Robin looks again at Monica but turns to leave with Emily.)

After Emily dropped Robin off, Robin grabbed a quick shower and managed to hastily eat. She crawled into bed and tried to go to sleep. But her mind was on Jason. She wanted so much to talk to him. Robin was confused. She didn't understand why Jason wants to be in isolation. There's nothing wrong with him. Restless, Robin got of bed, changed and went to GH.

Setting: Mac's office

Mac and Anna are going over the details of yesterday event. Scott wanted precise details. The guard brought Sonny in.

Mac: Have a seat (Sonny takes a seat.)

Sonny: Where's Carly?

Mac: She's in jail.

Sonny: Why?

Anna: She confessed Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: What did she confessed to?

Anna: 3 attempts at murdering Robin (Anna watches Sonny closely. She saw disappointment on his face.)

Sonny: What happens now?

Mac: That's up to you.

Sonny: What about me?

Anna: It's simple Mr. Corinthos. You close down your operation here in Port Charles or we indict you and your wife for conspiracy to murder Robin Scorpio.

Sonny: You don't have any evidence.

Anna: Actually, you're wife was very cooperative with her admission of guilt.

Sonny: Carly can't testify against me.

Anna: Did we forget to tell you that if Carly is found guilty and she will be. There's a more than likely chance she'll be spending the rest of her life in a high security penitentiary?

Sonny: (after a few silent moments) Will Carly have to stand trail?

Anna: No but she still has to finish her sentence.

Sonny: And me?

Anna: You will be cleared of the charges. The deal is contingent on your business no longer operating in Port Charles in any form Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: And my other businesses?

Mac: We are only concern with your business in Port Charles.

Sonny: You're not doing this out of concern for the citizens of Port Charles.

Anna: I told you once Mr. Corinthos that I've taken down bigger and better than you to protect my family. You should have taken my warning seriously.

Sonny: Revenge.

Anna: It's because of Robin that you and your wife are still breathing.

Sonny: (sadly) Robin...

Setting: GH

When Robin arrived at GH she was immediately pulled into surgery with Monica. There was a major accident on the highway. Robin was in surgery for 4 hours. She was exhausted when she finally got out of surgery. Robin hurriedly cleaned up and made her way toward Jason's room. She walks into the Isolation Unit and shows the guard her badge.

Guard: I'm sorry Dr. Scorpio you're not permitted in here.

Robin: (confused) Are you sure?

Guard: Yes.

Robin: Thank you (Robin walks back out, disappointed. She didn't understand why she wasn't allowed to see Jason. Robin was about to walk to away when Courtney came out. Robin looks over questionably at Courtney.) Did you see Jason?

Courtney: Yes.

Robin: (disappointed) How is he?

Courtney: (smiles) He's doing fine (curious) you haven't seen Jason?

Robin: I've been in surgery.

Courtney: He's awake.

Robin: I have to do rounds (Robin walks away. Robin makes her way to Monica's office. She knocks on the door before she walks in.) Hi Monica. I'm sorry to interrupt you.

Monica: It's no problem. Have a seat (Robin sits down.)

Robin: Could you tell me why Jason is in isolation?

Monica: I told you yesterday Robin.

Robin: I don't understand. There's no reason for Jason to be in isolation. I reviewed his chart. The bullet didn't cause any damages to Jason's spinal cord. His vitals are normal. He can be release in a few days.

Monica: You're correct.

Robin: Then why the isolation (Monica didn't know what to say to Robin) Jason doesn't want to see me does he? That's why he's in isolation.

Monica: (sad) I'm sorry Robin.

Robin: (disappointed and sad that it was true) Don't be. Did Jason tell you why?

Monica: No he didn't.

Robin: I think I understand. I'm sorry to have bothered you (Robin gets up to leave.)

Monica: Robin, just give Jason some time.

Robin: I don't think Jason needs time. He knows what he wants (sadly Robin leaves. Monica was heartbroken to see the sadness on Robin's face. As Robin was walking out, Emily approached her.)

Emily: Robin.

Robin: (tries to smile) Hi Emily.

Emily: (happy) I just saw Jason. He's doing great. He's a little grumpy but that's expected.

Robin: That's great.

Emily: How have you seen Jason?

Robin: I've been in surgery. I need to go do rounds.

Emily: Oh okay (not picking up that Robin was sad. Emily hugs Robin) Robin, Jason is going to be fine. Everything is working out.

Robin: Yes. I have to go (Robin walks away.)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse

Sonny silently walked into the dark and empty penthouse. Sonny looks around the living room. He sees flashes of memory of Stone, Lily, Robin, Jason, and Michael. Sonny walks to the bar and pours himself a drink. He downs the entire glass and then throws it across the room. Sonny then smashed all the glasses in front of him. Blood was dripping from his hands. Sonny then went over to the coffee table. There was a picture of Carly and Michael. Sonny picks it up and disgustingly throws it at the fireplace causing it shattered into little pieces. Sonny sat down on couch and starts to cry.

Setting: Mac's office

Mac: (gathers papers on his desk together) Well I think we got everything. Scott can't mess this up.

Anna: You think he'll say thank you?

Mac: Not likely (walks around his desk to Anna) you know you are one good cop. Thank god you're on our side.

Anna: (smiles) It felt good to take down another organization even if it's just Port Charles.

Mac: Port Charles is a big operation for Sonny. I think the only thing he has left are his casinos.

Anna: You think Robin will understand?

Mac: I think so. You did the right thing.

Anna: I wonder what's going to happen to Carly now.

Mac: Depends on the judge. But either way I think she's going to have it rough for a while.

Anna: I don't feel the slightest sympathy for her.

Mac: It's hard to when she tried to kill Robin 3 times.

Anna: I'm going to the hospital. I want to tell her about Sonny and check on Jason.

Mac: Ok. Send her my love.

Anna: I will (she kiss Mac quickly) thank you for helping me through this.

Mac: I didn't do anything.

Anna: I say you did (she kisses Mac again) see you at home (Mac smiles as he watches Anna leaves.)

Setting: GH

Robin kept herself busy since leaving Monica's office. Her mind was going crazy trying to digest all that is going on. She didn't understand why Jason doesn't want to see her. But then Robin remembers what Courtney said to her. Maybe Jason has realized that Robin wasn't worth all the pain and trouble. Robin was sad thinking this. Jason has for months declared his love for her and when she finally realizes that she loves him, he didn't want her anymore. It was quite poetic, Robin thought. She was so sure she had Jason's love. This is the price she pays for playing with Jason's heart. She didn't deserve Jason's love. Robin gathered up the charts and heads toward the nurse station.

Robin: (hands the charts to Amy) These are done Amy.

Amy: That was fast. You must be thrilled about Jason.

Robin: (tries to smile) Yes.

Anna: (walking toward Robin) Hi Darling.

Robin: Mom, what are you doing here?

Anna: I wanted to see how Jason was.

Robin: He is doing great. Monica might release him tomorrow.

Anna: That is good news.

Robin: Yes.

Anna: (notices Robin was little quiet) What's wrong?

Robin: Nothing.

Anna: Robin, talk to me.

Robin: I can't. I haven't figured it out myself.

Anna: What is this about?

Robin: Can we not talk about it?

Anna: Of course. Do you have a few minutes? I have some things I need to talk to you.

Robin: We can talk in the break room (they head to the break room. Robin closes the door.) What's going on?

Anna: It's about Sonny.

Robin: What about him?

Anna: Carly confessed to everything.

Robin: (surprises and almost shock) Really?

Anna: God, where do I start? (Robin reaches Anna's hands) David was helping Carly get pregnant.

Robin: (confused) What?

Anna: Carly was desperate to get pregnant and somehow she found David. David promised that she would get pregnant and in return she had to kill you.

Robin: She really hates me that much?

Anna: Or she really needed to get pregnant. David threatened to tell Sonny when she didn't succeed the first time. David had her on some drug when she tried the second time. She claimed that she didn't really want to hurt you.

Robin: I find that hard to believe.

Anna: Well this last time David threatened to kill Michael.

Robin: David would go that far?

Anna: He told Carly that he gave Michael some drug. But we checked it out and Michael is perfectly fine.

Robin: Why did David want me dead?

Anna: (feels the anguish) He didn't believe I had a miscarriage.

Robin: What does the miscarriage have anything to do with me?

Anna: David believed that that I lost the baby because I was too worried about you (Robin shakes her head) don't Robin. This is not your fault or mine.

Robin: Jason could of died because of me.

Anna: Thank god he's fine.

Robin: Why did Carly tried to warn me?

Anna: David pretty much destroyed Carly's life. He had her believing that if she didn't kill you Michael would die and Sonny would know the truth about her and if she did succeeded in killing you she would spend the rest of her life in prison. In a sick sort of way, David tried to destroy Carly for hurting you.

Robin: What happens now?

Anna: The judge will have to decide if Carly will serve the rest of her sentence in jail.

Robin: And Sonny?

Anna: In exchange for his freedom and Scott not pursuing additional charges against Carly, Sonny agreed to shut down his operation in Port Charles.

Robin: (shocked) What?

Anna: I had to do it honey.

Robin: But how?

Anna: Carly confessed to everything and I played on Sonny's vulnerability for his wife.

Robin: (gets up from her chair and starts pacing) I can't believe this.

Anna: I'm sorry honey. This was a chance for us to get Sonny and I had to use it.

Robin: I'm not blaming you Mom. You did what you had to do. Sonny had to pay a high price.

Anna: Yes he did.

Robin: How did Sonny take this?

Anna: I don't know.

Robin: Does Carly know about Sonny?

Anna: No.

Robin: Things are going to be so different, for everyone.

Anna: Honey, are you okay with this?

Robin: It's a lot to take in (Anna goes over to and wraps her arms around Robin.)

Anna: It's over. You can get on with your life now (Robin looks up at Anna with tears in her eyes) why tears?

Robin: Everything makes sense but I feel lost (thinking of Jason.)

A few days have passed. Sonny has isolated himself in the penthouse. He didn't want to see or talk to anyone. He drank himself to sleep and when he wakes he drank more. Carly was still in jail. The judge was still deciding on what to do with Carly. Jason was getting stronger. He was getting grouchier at being in the hospital. He tried to keep his mind off on Robin. But he wasn't very successful. He sleeps and dreams of her. He wanted out of the hospital. Courtney has been a constant visitor of Jason's. Jason lets her talk when she visits. He was glad for the distraction, anything to keep him from thinking of Robin. Courtney noticed that Jason was quiet but she figures it was because he was still in the hospital. Robin kept herself busy with work. She attempted several more times at seeing Jason but she was turned away. Robin instead monitored Jason's progress by reading his chart. Robin ran into Courtney a few times in the hallway. Courtney always had a smile on her face.

Robin was reading some papers as she makes her way to the lab. Tony wanted her to continue helping him with the research. Emily sees Robin and smiles.

Emily: Hi.

Robin: Emily hi.

Emily: I haven't seen you for a couple of days. How are you?

Robin: I'm fine. I've been working like crazy.

Emily: Jason is being released today. Are you going to come by?

Robin: (tries to act normal) I don't know. I'm supposed to help Tony in the lab today.

Emily: (notices a difference in Robin's reaction) I haven't seen you visit Jason. What's going on?

Robin: (quickly) Nothing. I've just been busy and Jason needs his rest.

Emily: I'm sure he rather sees you than rest.

Robin: He has other visitors to keep him occupied.

Emily: You know Jason has been rather quiet and grouchy since he's moved into isolation. I can't figure him out.

Robin: He probably hates being in the hospital.

Emily: Yeah, you're right.

Robin: I have to get going (Robin hugs Emily) tell Jason hi for me just in case I don't see him before he leaves.

Emily: I will. Bye (Emily watches Robin leaves, a little puzzled by Robin's manners.)

Setting: Jason's room

Courtney: You must be excited about leaving today.

Jason: I want to get back to work.

Courtney: (concern) Are you sure that's a good idea?

Jason: Why not?

Courtney: Jason, you were just shot.

Jason: I'm fine.

Courtney: I think you should talk to Monica about this.

Jason: (snaps at Courtney) I don't need to talk to anyone.

Courtney: I didn't mean to make you angry.

Jason: You didn't. I hate hospitals.

Courtney: (smiles) How about I go find Monica and get those release papers?

Jason: Sure (Jason watches Courtney leaves. He felt bad about snapping at her. He knew she was only trying to help.)

Courtney was walking out as Emily was walking in. Emily rolls her eyes seeing Courtney.

Courtney: (big smile) Hi Emily.

Emily: Courtney.

Courtney: Isn't it great that Jason is getting out today?

Emily: Great.

Courtney: Jason is getting grouchy being here. He must hate hospitals.

Emily: Or the visitors.

Courtney: What do you mean by that?

Emily: Why are you here so much?

Courtney: Jason is my friend.

Emily: You mean you want Jason to be more than your friend.

Courtney: I would think you would be glad that Jason has visitors.

Emily: Don't get me wrong. I would be more than glad for visitors with no hidden agendas.

Courtney: I don't have an agenda.

Emily: Don't pull that innocent act with me Courtney. I know you want Jason and you think by being around him constantly, he'll return your feelings.

Courtney: Why do you hate me so much?

Emily: Hate is a strong word.

Courtney: But you don't like me.

Emily: You don't give me many reasons to like you.

Courtney: Jason enjoys my company.

Emily: Really? Did he actually say that to you?

Courtney: I'm trying here Emily. We both care for Jason.

Emily: You know I can't help wondering if you did this much trying in saving your marriage to my brother, AJ. You do remember AJ, don't you?

Courtney: That's no fair.

Emily: Fair? Is it fair for you to drop AJ when you thought Jason was available? Is it fair that AJ picked you over the family and for you to just drop him? Don't talk to me about fair.

Courtney: You don't know the whole story Emily.

Emily: I know all I need to know. There's no way I'm letting you sink you claws into Jason. You're not good enough for him.

Courtney: (taken back by Emily's words) I'm sorry you feel that way.

Emily: I'm not (Emily walks into Jason's room. Courtney was left behind speechless. Emily walks to Jason's bed. She sees him laying quietly looking out at nothing.) Hi Jason.

Jason: Hi.

Emily: Glad to be getting out?

Jason: Very.

Emily: I ran into Courtney outside. What's going on between you guys?

Jason: What do you mean?

Emily: She's been around a lot.

Jason: Yeah.

Emily: Why?

Jason: Why not?

Emily: I've noticed that since Courtney's been around, Robin hasn't stopped by (Emily sees the change in Jason when she mentioned Robin's name) why hasn't Robin been by?

Jason: She has better things to do with her time.

Emily: Really? This is the same Robin who wouldn't leave the hospital during your operation and then wouldn't leave your bedside when you came out of surgery? I find that hard to believe.

Jason: Things changed.

Emily: They don't change that fast. Talk to me Jason. What happened between you and Robin?

Jason: (quietly) Nothing.

Emily: I know something happened. I asked Robin earlier why she hasn't been by to see you and she gave me some stonewall answer.

Jason: What did Robin say?

Emily: That she's been busy with work (Jason looks away) What? What are you not telling me?

Jason: Nothing.

Emily: Jason, I saw how happy you were to see Robin when you came out of your surgery. What changed?

Jason: I can't do this now.

Emily: Do what?

Jason: (angrily) Just leave it alone!

Emily: (startles that Jason yelled at her) Jason, you're hurting about something. Please tell me. Maybe I can help.

Jason: You can't help. It's too late (Emily looks at Jason confused. She didn't understand what was too late.)

Setting: Jason's apartment, a couple of hours later

Emily helps Jason inside his apartment. They make their way to the couch where Emily helped Jason sit down.

Emily: Can I get you anything?

Jason: (quietly) No.

Emily: I stocked up your fridge. Let me know if I'm missing anything and I'll pick them up on my way home from school.

Jason: You don't need to do that. I'll go myself.

Emily: Mom said you're supposed to take it easy.

Jason: I will.

Emily: Don't get on your bike Jason. It'll tear your stitches.

Jason: I'll use the jeep.

Emily: (notices that Jason was still a little quiet) I'm sorry about earlier Jason. I didn't mean to make you upset.

Jason: I'm not.

Emily: (goes to sit down next to Jason) I hope you know that I only want the best for you. You're my brother. I can't help but worry about you.

Jason: I'm sorry I yelled at you.

Emily: You don't need to apologize. Are you hungry? I could make you something quick before I leave for school?

Jason: School started already?

Emily: I have to meet with my counselor to go over my classes.

Jason: Why don't you go ahead and leave? I'm just going to take a nap here.

Emily: You sure?

Jason: Yeah.

Emily: (gets up) Okay. Call me if you need anything.

Jason: I will (Jason watches Emily leaves. Jason stretches himself out on the couch. He closes his eyes.

Robin: I'm only sure of what I feel. I don't know what the future holds. But I know I want you in my future. I don't want to lose you.

Luis: Robin, you will never lose me. I will always be yours.

Robin: (with tears in her eyes) I love you Luis

Jason suddenly wakes up. He sits up on the couch fully. He can still hear Robin's words. Every time it hurts more. How is he supposed to deal with this? He never imagined Robin would be with someone else and now she is. How is he supposed to act when he see them together in public? What is he supposed to do when he sees Alcazar holding Robin's hand? Jason gets up from the couch and walk over to the window. He remembered the first time that Robin came here. She stood at this very window. Jason smiles to himself. Robin was so nervous about being at his place. Jason remembered what happened afterward. He and Robin were so close to making love that night. If Robin hadn't pulled back, he would have had her naked in his bed and in his arms. Jason rubs his eyes. It was over now. Robin loved someone else. He has to accept that and move on with his life. Jason just didn't know how he was going to do that. There's a knock at the door. Jason slowly makes his way to the door. He opens it.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason opens the door to find Robin standing before him. She was holding his construction hat with a plant in it.

Robin: (smiles a little) May I come in?

Jason: (he couldn't stop staring at Robin. He didn't realize how much he missed her smile until now.) What are you doing here?

Robin: (taken back by Jason's tone) I missed you at the hospital. I wanted to give you this (she hands Jason the plant. Jason slowly takes the plant without taking his eyes off of Robin.) How are you doing?

Jason: I'm fine.

Robin: (feeling awkward. Jason still hasn't invited her in.) I'm sorry I disturbed you. I just wanted to give you the plant.

Jason: Thank you (not knowing what else to say. He was finding it hard to believe that Robin was standing in front of him.)

Robin: I guess I better go. I'm glad to see you're feeling better (no response from Jason) Jason I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I know my gratitude isn't anything compared to your pain. But I hope you know that I will never forget your kindness to me.

Jason: I'm glad you're alright.

Robin: (smiles) I am thanks to you (not know what else to say) goodbye Jason.

Jason: Bye Robin (Jason watches as Robin turns to leave. He wanted her to stay but he didn't know what to say. Sadly, Jason closes the door behind him. Jason walks over to the couch and sits down with plant. He wonders why Robin brought him the plant. Jason sat and stared at the plant in his hand.)

Robin walked back to her car a little confused, disoriented and ultimately sad. Jason was so distant. He didn't even invite her inside. Robin had felt stupid standing there with the plant. Robin opens her car and steps inside. Maybe it wasn't possible for them to be friends after all. So many things have happened between them. Robin was about to pull out of the parking lot when she spots Courtney walking toward the apartment complex. Courtney had on tightly fitted yellow sundress. Sadly, Robin drove away.

Courtney anxiously walks to Jason's door. She took a lot of care in getting dress. She wanted to look good. Courtney knocks on Jason's door. Jason was still sitting on the couch holding the plant. He looks over at door. Robin. Jason sets down the plant and goes to open the door. He quickly opens the door. Disappointment was all over his face when he saw who it was.

Courtney: (big smile) Hi Jason.

Jason: (digest his disappointment. It was too good to hope that Robin would be back.) Courtney (he walks away from the door and Courtney follows him inside.)

Courtney: What are you up to?

Jason: Nothing (goes to sit on the couch. He eyes land on the hat.)

Courtney: You know I was thinking you've been cooped up inside for too long. How about we go out and grab something to eat?

Jason: I don't know.

Courtney: Come on. It'll be fun.

Jason: Where?

Courtney: Kelly's? You like the cheeseburger there. Aren't you dying for a cheeseburger?

Jason: I am a little hungry.

Courtney: Good, let's go.

Setting: Kelly's

Robin slowly walked inside of Kelly's. She was supposed to head back to GH but she didn't feel like going back right away. Robin makes her way to the counter where Liz was talking to Lucky.

Robin: Hi you guys.

Lucky: Hi. How are you doing?

Robin: Ok.

Liz: Can I get you anything?

Robin: Do you have any chocolate cake?

Liz: Chocolate cake?

Robin: I need some chocolate cake (Liz and Lucky exchange looks.)

Liz: I just made a fresh cake (cuts a piece for Robin) is everything okay?

Robin: Sure.

Lucky: That doesn't sound very convincing.

Robin: That's about all I can muster up.

Liz: (places the cake in front of Robin) Here you go. Is there something going on at work that's bothering you?

Robin: (eats her cake) No.

Liz: What is it (but before Liz could finish her question, Courtney and Jason walked in laughing together. Robin heard the laughter and turns to the door. She was crushed to see Jason with Courtney. He was smiling as they took their seats. Jason finally sees Robin as he was sitting down. They were looking directly at each other. Courtney sees this and puts a hand on Jason's.)

Courtney: There's smile on your face. I told you this was a good idea (pretending that she didn't know Robin was there.)

Liz: (sees the hurt on Robin's face) Are you okay Robin?

Robin: (quietly) Yeah I'm fine. I'm just going to finish my cake and go back to work.

Lucky: You don't have to leave because they're here.

Robin: I know. I have work to do at the hospital (all 3 hear Courtney laughing in the background. Liz gives Courtney a dirty look.)

Liz: (trying to distract Robin) When is your next photo shoot?

Robin: I don't know. Things have been so hectic.

Lucky: I have the rest of the week open.

Liz: That's perfect. A photo shoot is exactly what you need. You need some pampering after all the stress you've been through the last few weeks.

Robin: I don't know. I don't look that great.

Lucky: You look fine (more laughter from Courtney. Robin was trying her best to ignore the sounds but she couldn't. Robin puts down her fork and grabs some money from her purse.)

Robin: I better go.

Liz: Robin, you barely had any cake.

Robin: I can't swallow anymore. I'll see you guys later.

Liz: Ok. Bye Robin (Liz watches Robin leaves. She felt bad for Robin. As Robin walks passed Jason's table, she tried not to look at him. She tried not to notice how happy he looks being with Courtney. Robin walks quickly out of Kelly's. Robin took deep breaths as she makes her way to the car. It was hard to see Jason with someone else. It hurts.

Back inside at Kelly's, Liz makes her way to Jason's table.

Liz: What can I get you?

Jason: Hi Elizabeth.

Liz: (abruptly) What can I get you?

Courtney: I'll have a garden salad and an ice tea.

Jason: I'll have the usual.

Liz: (hostile toward Jason) And that would be?

Jason: (looks questionably at Liz) Is something wrong?

Liz: What could possibly be wrong?

Jason: Did I do something to upset you?

Liz: I don't know, did you?

Jason: Elizabeth.

Liz: (sighs) Just tell me what you want to eat.

Jason: Cheeseburger, fries and a coke (Liz walks away without saying anything.)

Courtney: Don't pay any attention to her.

Jason: She's never been that way to me before.

Courtney: She's probably stressing out about school.

Jason: I'll be back in a minute (Jason gets up)

Courtney: Jason, our food is going to be here any minute.

Jason: I'll be right back (Jason slowly makes his way to the counter where Liz and Lucky were) Hi Lucky.

Lucky: Hi Jason (Jason looks over at Liz who wouldn't look at him.)

Jason: Elizabeth, did I do something to upset you?

Liz: If you don't know, then I won't bother.

Jason: Elizabeth.

Liz: (almost too abruptly) What?

Jason: What did I do?

Liz: How could you do that to Robin?

Jason: (confused) Robin? I didn't do anything to Robin.

Liz: (frustrated with Jason's answer) Just forget it Jason. Go back and sit with Courtney. I'll bring you your food (confused by Elizabeth's anger. Jason walks away.)

Lucky: I think you were little rough on him.

Liz: Lucky, did you see Robin's face when Jason walked in with Courtney? She was crushed.

Lucky: We don't know what happened.

Liz: Well I'm not going to accept him flaunting his relationship with Courtney in front of Robin's face. Robin is my friend.

Lucky: So is Jason.

Liz: Yes but...

Lucky: No buts Liz. You can't take sides. It's not fair.

Liz: I know. I can't help it. I feel so bad for Robin. She didn't even finish her cake.

Lucky: I feel bad for Robin too.

Liz: You know what? I feel like doing something tonight.

Lucky: What?

Liz: Let's go out. We'll invite Emily, Nicholas, Tess and Robin along.

Lucky: Liz, are you trying to cheer Robin up?

Liz: (pleading with her eyes) We'll be there together?

Lucky: Ok.

Liz: Luke's?

Lucky: Sure. Dad will be happy to see Robin.

Liz: (happy) Thank you Lucky. I'm going to call Emily and Tess (Liz went to the phone booth to make the calls. Courtney walks up to the counter.)

Courtney: Hi Lucky.

Lucky: Hi Courtney.

Courtney: I just needed to get some ketchup for Jason (Courtney can hear Elizabeth on the phone making plans for tonight. Courtney stays a little longer.) You know I wanted to tell you how much I like the pictures you take of Robin.

Lucky: Thank you.

Courtney: You are very talented (Courtney hears Elizabeth telling Emily to make sure that Robin comes) I would love to see you take the pictures.

Lucky: We'll have to check with Brenda if that's possible.

Courtney: Oh. I better bring this to Jason (walks away with the ketchup bottle.)

Liz: What did she want?

Lucky: Jason needed ketchup.

Liz: What he needs is a hit on his head (Lucky laughs)

Setting: Luke's later that night

Emily came by to pick Robin up at Mac's. Robin wasn't all that thrilled about going out but Emily was adamant. So, Robin gave in. Emily and Robin walked into Luke's together. The club wasn't too crowded. Liz, Lucky, Nicholas and Tess were already at a table waiting for them.

Emily: Hey guys (everyone greets each other as Emily and Robin take a seat. Emily and Liz exchange looks at each other.) I'm going to get something to drink. Robin?

Robin: Club soda with lime. Thanks.

Liz: I'll go with you Emily (the girls get up and make their way to the bar.)

Emily: What's going on?

Liz: Jason came into Kelly's today with Courtney. They look real giddy together. Robin was there with me.

Emily: Really?

Liz: I felt so bad for her. I wanted to kill Jason.

Emily: I don't understand what's going on between them. They were so happy when Jason came out surgery and then poof Jason was moved to isolation and Robin never came by to visit.

Liz: What could possibly happen?

Emily: I don't know. Jason won't talk to me.

Liz: And Robin?

Emily: Nothing.

Liz: I don't like this Emily. And what's the deal with Courtney? She was all over Jason today at Kelly's.

Emily: I don't know what's going on there either (just as Emily finished her sentence Courtney and Jason walk in together. Courtney had on black sexy dress with her half of her cleavage showing. Emily and Liz watch as they walk to a table.) What are they doing here?

Liz: Damn, she must have heard me making plans for tonight.

Emily: Great! I convinced Robin to come out tonight.

Liz: We better head back (the girls rushed back to the table. When they got back, they kind of played musical chairs so Robin was looking in the opposite direction of Jason and Courtney.)

Tess: We need some livelier music in here.

Emily: That's a good idea. Dancing. I feel like dancing.

Tess: I'll be right back (Tess makes her way to the band and said something to them. As she was making her way back to the table, the band struck up some fast paced tune.) This is more like it. Lucky? You want to dance?

Lucky: Sure (they head out onto the floor. Emily looks over at Nicholas.)

Nicholas: Robin, would you like to dance?

Robin: I don't really feel like it.

Nicholas: You can't shoot me down for the first dance.

Robin: (smiles) Okay (Nicholas leads Robin out to dance floor. Nicholas was careful to keep Robin's back to Jason.

At Jason's table...

Courtney: Aren't you glad we went out?

Jason: Yeah (Jason looks around the place. He looks out at the dance floor to see the different couples dancing. He sees Lucky and Tess dancing. Jason's eyes wandered to petite brunette who was dancing with Nicholas. Jason's heart stops for a second. Her body seems familiar to his eyes. Jason tries to focus on the figure.)

Courtney: Jason do you want a beer? (No response from Jason. Courtney follows Jason's eyes. Courtney sees Robin.) Jason?

Jason: (drags his eyes away from the figure) Yeah?

Courtney: Do you want something to drink?

Jason: A beer.

Courtney: Okay. I'll be right back (Courtney makes her way to the bar) Hi Dad.

Mike: Courtney. What are you doing here?

Courtney: I'm here with Jason.

Mike: Jason?

Courtney: Yeah. Jason wanted a night out.

Liz: (angrily) Or did you want a night out?

Courtney: Elizabeth.

Liz: Don't play coy with me Courtney.

Courtney: I don't know what you're talking about.

Liz: You heard me on the phone making plans to take Robin out. You came here on purpose.

Mike: (interrupts) Elizabeth, Courtney is just here by coincidence.

Liz: I don't think so.

Courtney: This is public place Elizabeth.

Liz: That's why you can't control the trash that walks in.

Mike: Elizabeth!

Liz: I'm sorry Mike. But it's the truth.

Courtney: That's not fair.

Liz: I'm on to you and pretty soon so will Jason. I guarantee it (Elizabeth angrily walks away.)

Courtney: What's her problem?

Mike: Did what Elizabeth say true?

Courtney: What do you mean?

Mike: Did you come here with Jason to spite Robin?

Courtney: Of course not.

Mike: I hope not because I would really be disappointed if you did. Robin has been through enough. She doesn't need any more heartache.

Courtney: What about me?

Mike: If Jason wants to be with you, then it'll happen naturally. You don't need to play games.

Courtney: Can I just have 2 beers?

Mike: Sure honey (Mike hands Courtney the beers and she heads back to Jason. She angrily looks over at Liz and Emily. Courtney sits down and moves her chair closer to Jason. Jason was still distracted with the petite brunette.)

Liz: God I hate her.

Emily: Don't let her get to you.

Liz: Do you think we should leave?

Emily: Robin would become suspicious. We might as well make the best of it.

Liz: I hope you're right (everyone returns back to the table.)

Robin: What are you 2 up? Why aren't you dancing?

Liz: We will.

Robin: I'm thirsty. I'm going to go get another drink (Liz quickly kicks Lucky under the table.)

Lucky: You stay I'll go get it.

Robin: Are you sure?

Lucky: I'm sure you girls want to gossip about something.

Emily: We do not gossip.

Nicholas: I'll go with you Lucky (the girls watch the boys leaves. They burst out laughing when the boys were far enough away.)

Robin: We do too gossip.

Liz: They don't need to know that.

Tess: Speaking of gossip, AJ tells me that Skye is planning to leave Port Charles.

Emily: Really? Dad didn't say anything.

Tess: I guess Jax's marriage to Brenda was the final straw. She's been drinking like crazy.

Robin: I'm sorry to hear that.

Emily: It's probably a good thing that she's leaving then.

Robin: Do you have any idea when Brenda and Jax are supposed to be back?

Tess: They were only supposed to gone for 3 days. I've had to rearrange all of Brenda's appointments.

Liz: I guess they definitely don't want the honeymoon to be over.

Emily: Would you if you were married to Jax? (The girls burst out laughing.)

Robin: You guys are bad (but Robin couldn't stop laughing herself. Lucky and Nicholas come back with drinks.)

Nicholas: What are you girls laughing about?

Emily: (innocently) Nothing.

Lucky: That sounded way too innocent (the girls burst out laughing again) what?

Liz: Nothing. We just have the giggles.

Robin: I really have to use the restroom (Liz and Emily worriedly look at each other.)

Emily & Liz: (rather quickly) We'll go with you.

Lucky: You all have to go?

Tess: Yes (all 4 girls get up. Emily and Liz tried to block Robin's view of Jason but it didn't work. At that very moment, Courtney loudly calls out Jason's name while touching his hand. It caught Robin's attention. Robin just stops and look at Jason and Courtney. Jason looks toward Robin, neither one saying anything. Emily, Liz and Tess didn't know what to do. Courtney smiles at them with her hand on Jason's. Robin looks at Jason's hand and then back to his face. Close to tears, Robin quickly walks away. Emily and Liz gave Jason an angry looks as they pass by him. Robin was wiping away her tears when the other got to the restroom.)

Emily: I'm sorry you saw that.

Robin: Don't be. Jason is allowed to be with whomever he wants (the 3 girls look at each and then back at Robin.)

Tess: Well at least Jason wasn't looking down her dress (Robin, Emily and Liz look at Tess. They couldn't believe she make the remark. All 4 burst out laughing.)

Liz: Nothing beats a nasty humor. Are you feeling better Robin?

Robin: Yeah. Thanks for trying to cheer me up.

Tess: How about we go back there and give Jason something to really look at? (The girls look at each other and silently agreed. They make their way out the bathroom and passed Jason's table without a glance.) Boys, we feel like dancing (Nicholas and Lucky look at each and wonder what the change was.)

Lucky: We're not stupid enough to turn down 4 beautiful ladies (the 6 of them make their way to the dance floor. The band struck up another fast paced tune as the 6 of them danced around each other. They were having such a good time that the other guests join in with them. Jason and Courtney were still at their table. Jason hasn't been able to take his eyes off on Robin. His heart melts every time he sees her smile. He watches as Robin sways sexily to the music. Courtney was mad watching Jason watch Robin.)

Courtney: Do you want to dance Jason?

Jason: (didn't take his eyes off of Robin) No.

Courtney: You just want to sit here?

Jason: Yes (Courtney glares at Jason, frustrated.)

Courtney: Jason, I'm kind of tired. Do you mind if we leave?

Jason: (reluctantly) Sure (Jason takes another look at Robin. She was having fun dancing with Lucky. Jason turns to leave with Courtney.)

The next week passed by slowly. Robin did a photo shoot with Lucky. Liz was right. The photo shoot really helped keep her mind off of Jason. Robin tried to avoid anyplace where she would run into Courtney and Jason. It was hard to see Jason with someone else. The few times that she did see him Jason didn't see her. Robin was quick to move before Jason saw her. But every time that Robin did see Jason, she missed him even more. She missed the smile that he gives her and the impulsive things that he says. Robin smiles to herself thinking of Jason. Robin turns the corner to go surgery when she bumped into someone. Robin bends down to pick up her stuff along with the person.

Robin: I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going (gathering her stuff. A familiar hand gives Robin her papers. Robin looks up at to see two beautiful blue eyes looking back at her. Robin was surprised and speechless.)

Jason: (quietly) Are you okay?

Robin: (shakes her head a little) Yeah, I'm fine. Did I hurt you?

Jason: I'm stronger than that Robin.

Robin: (embarrassed by Jason's tone) I know. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't (Robin steps back) I'm sorry.

Jason: (sees the hurt in Robin's eyes) I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that (Robin couldn't look at Jason) Robin?

Robin: (looks at Jason) Yes?

Jason: How have you been?

Robin: Fine. What about you? Why are you here? Is everything okay (Robin said with concerns in her voice.)

Jason: (smiles at Robin's concern) I'm fine. Monica just wants to make sure that my wound is healing.

Robin: (sighs a relief) I'm glad. Are you back at work?

Jason: Yes. We're making good progress with the building.

Robin: That's great.

Jason: Robin, I wanted...

Courtney: (interrupts) Jason, there you are. I was looking for you (cheerfully) hi Robin.

Robin: Hi Courtney (her hopes deflate.)

Courtney: Monica is waiting for us. Are you ready?

Robin: Don't let me keep you (Jason looks at Robin. He wanted to finish talking to her.) I have to get to surgery. Bye (Robin quickly walks off. Jason watches her go. He didn't want her to leave. It's been so long since he spoke to Robin. He missed her. He missed her so much. Jason felt the air leave his lungs.)

Courtney: Ready? (Jason just nods and follows Courtney to Monica's office.)

Setting: Mac's house

Mac and Anna are enjoying at quiet night at home. They have gotten a lot closer since the business with David was over. Anna has opened up to Mac a lot more. They were starting to make plans for the future.

Mac: I was thinking we need a vacation.

Anna: Vacation? Where?

Mac: I don't know. I was hoping to get some input from you.

Anna: Europe is nice this time of year. So is Asia.

Mac: What would you like?

Anna: I've been to Europe. How about a tour of Southeast Asia?

Mac: That sounds fun.

Anna: We could do those bike tours.

Mac: Ugh, that sounds like too much work.

Anna: (laughs at Mac) It'll be fun.

Mac: You really want to do this?

Anna: Sure, why not?

Mac: Alright. I'm game.

Anna: No backing out?

Mac: A Scorpio going back on his word? Never.

Anna: Okay Scorpio. You're on.

Mac: On one condition.

Anna: You can't add conditions.

Mac: Of course I can. I'm a Scorpio.

Anna: Fine. What?

Mac: We get one hotel room.

Anna: Of course silly. It's a lot more economical that way (clearly disappointed by Anna's statement. Anna couldn't help herself. She leans in to tenderly kiss Mac. Mac happily responds to Anna. He takes her into his arms. The door opens.)

Robin: (smiles) Should I come back later? (Mac and Anna break apart from each other.)

Anna: Robin. You're home early.

Robin: I finished early. Hi Uncle Mac.

Mac: (smiles) Hi Robin. Have you eaten?

Robin: No.

Mac: You want me to reheat some food for you?

Robin: I can do it.

Mac: No you come and sit down and I'll bring you a plate (Mac heads into the kitchen.)

Robin: (smiles as she sits down next to Anna) You are really a good influence on him. Mac looks very happy.

Anna: He's easy to please. So why are you home?

Robin: What? I'm not allowed to be home?

Anna: Of course you are. I was just wondering why? You haven't gone out anywhere for the last week.

Robin: That's normal.

Anna: No it's not. Liz was wondering if there was something wrong because you haven't been by Kelly's.

Robin: Oh.

Anna: What's going on?

Robin: Nothing (she said a little too quickly.)

Anna: You know you can't lie to your mother.

Robin: I guess I'm trying to avoid any place public.

Anna: Why?

Robin: It's easier.

Anna: Easier for what? (Robin doesn't responds) Is this about Jason? Are you trying to avoid Jason? Why?

Robin: It hurts to see him with someone else.

Anna: (surprise) Jason is with someone else?

Robin: He's with Courtney now.

Anna: Courtney? When did this happen?

Robin: I guess around the time of the shooting.

Anna: It didn't seem like that when I saw Jason in the hospital.

Robin: It's like that now.

Anna: So that's why you're staying away from Kelly's and Luke's?

Robin: Yes.

Anna: How long do you think you can keep this up?

Robin: (makes a face) As long as I have to?

Anna: Darling, this can't continue. Hiding doesn't solve anything.

Robin: In this case it does.

Anna: You're wrong honey. You need to deal with Jason and Courtney. Hiding won't make them go away.

Robin: I know. It hurts less when I don't have to see them together.

Anna: I know what you're trying to do darling. But it's not going to work. The only way for you to get over Jason being with someone else is to deal with it.

Robin: You want me to pretend it's normal?

Anna: No I want you to deal with it. Dealing with it means facing it and when you face it...it'll eventually hurt less.

Robin: Ugh, I don't know Mom. I've never really dealt with Jason being with anyone else before. Even when he was with Carly, I knew he didn't love her. I was almost okay with that because I knew ultimately Jason loves me. But this, this is different. Jason loves Courtney and I can't watch it.

Anna: I know it's hard but you have to if you want to move on with your life.

Robin: I know you're right.

Mac: (comes out of the kitchen with a plate of food. He places in front of Robin) right about what?

Robin: Does it matter?

Mac: Yeah, you're mom is annoying like that sometimes. She's right a lot (Robin laughs as Anna gives Mac a look.)

Setting: Later at Kelly's

Liz: Well hello (seeing Robin coming) haven't seen you in awhile.

Robin: I know I'm sorry (goes to sit on the counter) how are things?

Liz: Good. I started school again.

Robin: Full time?

Liz: Yep!

Robin: And you're still working here?

Liz: Just a couple of hours a day. I could use the money.

Robin: My offer still stands.

Liz: Thanks but I can't take your money.

Robin: I don't see why not. It's not like I'm using it for anything.

Liz: But I don't know when I'll be able to repay you.

Robin: I think I'll survive Liz. I am making money.

Liz: Can I think about it?

Robin: Sure.

Liz: What can I get you?

Robin: Chocolate cake?

Liz: (smiles) Sure, I'll be right back (Liz went to the kitchen. Robin sat by herself at the counter. She didn't hear the door open. Jason noticed Robin as soon as he walked in. He'd recognize her anywhere. Jason makes his way to the counter and sits down next to Robin. He looks over at Robin but her mind was thousand miles away.

Jason: (softly) Hi Robin.

Robin: (startled) Jason! (She almost fell out of her chair. Jason held on to her.) You scared me.

Jason: I'm sorry. What were you thinking about just now?

Robin: (smiles) Paris.

Jason: Why?

Robin: My mind tends to wonder to Paris whenever I think of yo... (Robin stops herself. She looks at Jason.)

Jason: When you think of what?

Robin: (quickly) Nothing.

Jason: (disappointed with Robin's answer) You miss Paris.

Robin: Yes.

Jason: Are you thinking of returning to Paris?

Robin: (honestly) It's always in the back of my mind.

Jason: (was sad to hear Robin's words) A lot of people would miss you if you leave.

Robin: I don't know about that. Everyone have their own lives to live.

Jason: I would... (Liz came out carrying Robin's cake.)

Liz: Hi Jason (Liz looks between Jason and Robin and realizes that she walked into something) I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt.

Robin: You didn't. We were just talking. Do you mind putting that into a box? I'm kind of tired.

Liz: You just got here (disappointed that Robin was leaving. Liz looks over at Jason accusingly.)

Robin: I'll try to stop by tomorrow (Robin waits for Liz to put her cake in a box.) Thanks. I'll see you later (Liz and Jason watch as Robin quickly leaves. Liz angrily turns to Jason.)

Liz: What did you say to Robin?

Jason: Nothing.

Liz: Then why did she rush out?

Jason: I don't know.

Liz: I'm really tired of this Jason.

Jason: (confused) What?

Liz: I don't like seeing my friends hurt.

Jason: What are you talking about?

Liz: I'm talking about Robin.

Jason: I didn't do anything.

Liz: Wake up Jason! Seeing you hurt Robin. Seeing you with Courtney hurt Robin more. How can you not realize this?

Jason: Robin moved on.

Liz: What? What gave you that idea?

Jason: I just know.

Liz: Well you're wrong Jason. Robin loves you Jason. I saw her cry when she saw you with Courtney.

Jason: (astonished to hear this) But I don't understand why? Courtney and I are just friends?

Liz: Really? Is that what you said about Carly? (Jason looks at Liz. He knew Liz was making a point. But she was wrong. Courtney is just being nice to him.)

Jason: I didn't give up on Robin. She gave up on me (Jason angrily walks out.)

Setting: The docks, a couple of day later

Robin was on her way to Kelly's when she saw Luis sitting on the bench by himself.

Robin: Luis?

Luis: (smile at seeing Robin) Hi my Robin.

Robin: Hi. Why are you sitting here all by yourself?

Luis: This is where I saw you for the first time in Port Charles.

Robin: Yes. I was so happy to see you.

Luis: I was beyond happy. Ever since, I've thought of this place as ours.

Robin: I guess in a way it is. How have you been?

Luis: Fine. You?

Robin: I've been busy with GH and doing photo shoots for Deception.

Luis: I still need you to autograph my cover.

Robin: (laughs) I don't want to waste the ink.

Luis: I like it all the same. It'll help to keep me close to you.

Robin: GH is only 15 minutes away from your hotel.

Luis: It's actually further.

Robin: (confused) Of course not (Luis was quiet) Luis?

Luis: I'm leaving Port Charles.

Robin: (distressed) But why?

Luis: I only stayed because of you.

Robin: (her eyes water) I'm still here.

Luis: It's not the same.

Robin: I never meant to hurt you Luis.

Luis: (takes Robin's hands in his) You didn't. You told me the truth.

Robin: But you're leaving.

Luis: I can't stay. It's too painful.

Robin: I'm being selfish but I don't want you to lose you.

Luis: You're not losing me Robin. I'll only be a phone call away.

Robin: But I won't be able to see you.

Luis: We'll always have Paris.

Robin: (tears run down her cheeks) Luis, please don't leave. You're such a big part of my life. I don't know what I would do without you.

Luis: You'll survive just like you always do. You don't need me anymore. You've found your way back to you and your life.

Robin: No, you're wrong. I don't know who I am.

Luis: Robin you are courageous, gentle, honest, loving person. Don't let anyone take that away from you.

Robin: (realizes that Luis has already made up his mind) You know I had dreams for us. They're not the most conventional ones (behind them, Jason was standing on top of the steps he stops when he heard Robin's voice.) I dream we would live on your yacht. We would sail to different places and we were together.

Luis: I dream the same.

Robin: (looks at Luis) I love you Luis. I've loved you since the day you saved my life. I can't see my future without you (Jason felt his heart breaks hearing Robin's declaration of love for Luis. Jason quickly walks away with tears in his eyes.)

Luis: Your love is the best thing that ever happened to me. In all my wildest dreams, I never thought someone like you would love me. My life is so much better with you in it.

Robin: Then stay.

Luis: I can't. I can't watch you love another man. I can't watch you marry another man and give him a child. But I am grateful that another man can make you happy.

Robin: (sadly) When are you leaving?

Luis: Tomorrow.

Robin: So soon?

Luis: There's new city to conquer.

Robin: Will you promise to take care of yourself?

Luis: (smiles) Yes

Robin: Will you send me postcard wherever you go?

Luis: I think I can do that. Any other requests?

Robin: (crushes herself to Luis) That you stay.

Luis: (softly touches Robin's hair) I wish I could. Be happy my Robin. Don't let anyone take your happiness from you. If you ever need me, you know how to get a hold of me.

Robin: (cries on Luis's shoulder) Luis.

Luis: Don't cry my Robin. It breaks my heart to see you cry.

Robin: (pulls back a little) I'm sorry.

Luis: (Luis tenderly takes Robin lips in his) I love you my Robin. Be happy (Luis abruptly walks away from Robin. Robin stayed at the bench and the tears flow. That was how Sonny found her. Sonny approaches Robin slowly.)

Sonny: (softly) Robin?

Robin: (looks at Sonny with tear-filled eyes) Yes?

Sonny: Sweetheart, what's wrong? Why are you crying? (No answer from Robin. Sonny sits down next to Robin on the bench) Robin, talk to me.

Robin: I can't.

Sonny: I may be able to help.

Robin: I just lost my best friend. I don't know how to deal with it.

Sonny: (torn to hear to Robin refer to someone else as her best friend) What happened?

Robin: He loves me but I couldn't return his love. He left.

Sonny: (not knowing what to say) I can relate with your friend. It's painful for me to watch Brenda with Jax.

Robin: (looks over at Sonny) Still?

Sonny: It's gets a little easier but it still hurts.

Robin: I didn't want to hurt him.

Sonny: Then it's best that you let him go.

Robin: But I need him. He's a big part of my life.

Sonny: Then he'll still be wherever he is. Distance can't change that.

Robin: (takes a deep breath and wipes her tears) I'm being selfish.

Sonny: You're not. It's understandable how you're feeling.

Robin: (wipes her tears) I'm okay now. Thank you for talking to me.

Sonny: I'm glad I could help.

Robin: I don't want to keep you.

Sonny: I don't have to be anywhere. How about I buy you a cup of hot tea?

Robin: (looks at Sonny for a few seconds and then smiles) I like that.

Setting: The bridge

Jason found himself at the bridge after he left the docks. It was still difficult to accept Robin was with someone else. But to hear her say that she loves someone else was painful. Robin saw her future with Alcazar, she dreams of a future with Alcazar. Jason angrily pounds his fist on the stone. Damn, he was losing her all over again. This time it was more painful. He was going to have to watch her live her life with someone else. Jason didn't know if he could do this. But he knew he couldn't leave. He can't bear the thought of not seeing Robin. He needed to see her. It hurts to see her but it hurts even more to not see her. The few times that he saw her the past week was pure torture. Robin thought that he didn't see her but he did. He could feel her in the same room with him. How is he going to survive this torture? Jason furiously wipes the tears from his eyes.

Setting: The Grille

Anna and Mac decided that they didn't want to wait to take their vacation. Robin was happy to see them wanting some time alone. They head out to the Grille for dinner. Anna and Mac were heading out the next morning.

Robin: (smiles) You guys look really relax and you haven't even left yet.

Mac: (grinning ear to ear) Can't help it.

Anna: Are you sure you're going to be alright?

Robin: Yes. I've been home by myself before.

Anna: (chuckles) I know that. I didn't want you to be lonely with Luis being gone and all.

Robin: (sad to hear Luis' name) I'll be fine.

Mac: You could come with us.

Robin: And be the third wheel? No thank you. You guys have fun without me.

Mac: You have our agenda if you change your mind.

Robin: I won't but thank you for the offer (Robin looks up to see Jason and Courtney walking in. Courtney was in pretty dress and Jason was wearing slacks and a collar shirt. Robin couldn't help looking. Jason's eyes land on Robin. They continue to look at each until Courtney whispers to Jason. Jason and Courtney walk to their table. Robin's eyes follow them. Jason was saying something to Courtney that made her laugh. As Courtney laughed, she reached forward for Jason's hand. Robin can see a light smile on Jason's face. Mac and Anna watch with concern at Robin. They both can see the hurt on Robin's face. Mac wanted to go over there and kill Jason. But Anna's eyes told him that wasn't what Robin needed.)

Anna: Honey, do you want some dessert?

Robin: (looks back at Anna) No I'm fine.

Anna: I'm going to have an espresso. Do you want some tea?

Robin: Yes.

Mac: I hope I can keep up on this bike tour.

Anna: (trying to distract Robin) There's supposed to be a bus following us. That's a clever idea don't you think Robin? (Robin doesn't answer. She was distracted at looking Jason and Courtney.) Robin?

Robin: Yes?

Anna: Do you want to leave? (Robin looks at Anna and knew her mom understood. Robin nods her head to Anna.) Okay darling. Let's go home (the 3 of them get up to leave. Jason looks over at Robin and sees the sadness on her face. He wanted to say something but he couldn't. Jason watches despondently as Robin leaves.)

Courtney: Thank you for going out with me tonight (trying to draw Jason's attention) I was dying to celebrate my raise.

Jason: You're welcome.

Courtney: Was that Robin over there?

Jason: Yes.

Courtney: I didn't even see her when we walked in. She probably thought we were rude for not saying hello.

Jason: I'm sure she understands (his mind goes back to thinking of Robin.)

Setting: GH, the next day

Robin miserably walks to Alan's office. She had a horrible night. All night she kept dreaming of Jason and Courtney. She kept seeing Jason kissing Courtney and making love to Courtney. Robin woke up several times in pure sweat. Robin couldn't go back to sleep after the third time. When Robin arrived at GH, she was miserable and irritable. She snapped at Amy and worst of all she made a horrible mistake, a wrong diagnose. It was a good thing that Monica caught it. Robin was so ashamed and devastated. She knew what she had to do. She lightly knocks on Alan's door.

Alan: Come in (Robin walks in slowly) hello Robin.

Robin: Hi Alan. May I talk to you?

Alan: Of course. What's on your mind?

Robin: I wanted to apologize about this morning.

Alan: Robin, you made one mistake. Monica was there to help you.

Robin: Yes but what about next time when Monica is not around?

Alan: What are you saying Robin?

Robin: I've decided I wanted to finish my residence in Paris.

Alan: (surprise) Paris. Why?

Robin: I'm no good to GH here. I can't afford to make a mistake like that.

Alan: Robin, everyone has a bad day. The good thing is we the caught it.

Robin: I can't accept that.

Alan: Robin, what's really going on?

Robin: What do you mean?

Alan: I've noticed a change in you the last few weeks. You're not happy. You're so driven to work that I wonder how you can stand up straight. What's bothering you?

Robin: I can't talk about it.

Alan: Robin, I hope you know that you can tell me anything and it'll be held in the strictest confidence.

Robin: I know but I'm so ashamed.

Alan: (surprised to hear Robin's words. He walks around to Robin and takes a seat next to her) Ashamed about what?

Robin: That I let my personal life interfere with my work. I'm sorry I let you down.

Alan: You haven't let me down Robin. You are one of my best doctors.

Robin: Please don't say that.

Alan: What is bothering you? It has something to do with your personal life (taking a guess) is it Jason?

Robin: It's that obvious?

Alan: (smiles) No but I know that he's important to you.

Robin: He is.

Alan: What's the problem?

Robin: I can't stand seeing Jason with Courtney. I tried to be strong about it but I can't (with tears in her eyes) my heart breaks every time I see them together. I just can't do it.

Alan: So that's why you want to transfer to Paris.

Robin: It'll be easier for me to not see Jason. It actually won't but it'll be easier than seeing him with someone else.

Alan: Does Jason know this?

Robin: It doesn't matter. His life is with Courtney's now. I'm just a girl that he used to love.

Alan: You can't believe that.

Robin: I don't know what to believe. I used to believe that love will always win in the end but it doesn't. I love Jason but I bring him too much pain. Courtney is right. Jason suffers too much because of me.

Alan: Courtney doesn't know Jason like you do.

Robin: But she's right. I love Jason too much to bring him pain. I want him to be happy but I just can't watch him be happy with someone else.

Alan: So you're going to leave your family and friends behind?

Robin: I have to. I'm no good to you like this.

Alan: Why don't you take some time and think about this?

Robin: No, I've made up my mind. Will you put in the transfer papers for me?

Alan: I don't really want to Robin. I think you're making a mistake.

Robin: Please Alan.

Alan: (his heart breaks for Robin) Okay. I'll get the paperwork started.

Robin: Please rush it for me Alan. I won't ask anymore of you.

Alan: You can ask anything of me.

Robin: Thank you Alan (Robin quietly leaves Alan's office. She makes her way to the break room and grabs her stuff. As soon as Robin got inside the elevator, tears came rolling down her face. Robin cried all the way out to her car. She sits in the car not knowing where to go. She didn't want to go home.)

Setting: The docks

Not knowing where else to go, Robin stops at the docks. She got out of her car walks to a bench. Robin goes over the morning events as she looks out in the water. She felt so ashamed for her mistake. Her mind was so much on Jason that she wasn't thinking clearly. She made the wrong judgment.

Aidan: (on his way to Kelly's) Robin (approaches Robin)

Robin: (tries to smile) Hi Aidan.

Aidan: What are you doing here? Why are you sitting here by yourself?

Robin: I had some thinking to do.

Aidan: (looks at Robin closely) You've been crying. What happened?

Robin: I've decided to finish my residence in Paris.

Aidan: (stunned) What! Why?

Robin: It's for the best.

Aidan: (turns Robin to him) Robin, tell what's going on? Why have you decided this?

Robin: (Robin couldn't look at Aidan) I can't talk about it.

Aidan: Robin, you know I'll support you in whatever you decide. But I want to know why you're doing this.

Robin: (tears in her eyes) I messed up Aidan. I messed up so badly.

Aidan: What happened?

Robin: I made a wrong diagnose today (starts to cry) I could have cause serious harm to the patient. Thank god Monica caught it.

Aidan: You made a mistake Robin. Everyone does.

Robin: No, it was more than that. I was distracted, preoccupied with other things. I wasn't thinking of the patient (anguish) Aidan, what happened if I was in surgery? I could have killed my patient (cries harder. Aidan didn't know what to say. He took Robin in his arm and holds her while she cries. Jason was walking by when he saw Robin crying in Aidan's arms. Worriedly, Jason walks over.)

Jason: Robin? (Robin slightly pulls back from Aidan and looks at Jason with tears in her eyes.) What's wrong? Why are you crying? (Robin just looks Jason. Jason didn't understand why Robin was looking at him so oddly.) Robin?

Robin: (shakes her head) I can't do this (she quickly rushes off.)

Aidan: Robin (but Robin was already gone. Aidan fiercely turns to Jason.) What the hell did you do to her?

Jason: What?

Aidan: (trying to hold his anger) You heard me.

Jason: I don't know.

Aidan: Why did Robin run off like that?

Jason: I don't know.

Aidan: You're lying. If you've hurt her again, I'm going to kill you.

Jason: I don't know what's going on.

Aidan: Save it (Aidan walks off. Jason was left standing alone and confused. He wonders why Robin was crying. He didn't understand why Robin was looking at him so strangely. Shaking his head, Jason walks off.)

Setting: Brenda's office

Aidan: (walks in quickly) Have you seen Robin?

Brenda: (looks up from her desk) No why?

Aidan: I saw her by the docks a little earlier. She was crying and then she ran off when Morgan showed up.

Brenda: What? (Brenda walks around her desk to Aidan) why was Robin crying?

Aidan: She made a wrong diagnose today.

Brenda: Really?

Aidan: She took it pretty hard. She was saying that if she was surgery, she could have killed the person. She's going to finish her residency in Paris.

Brenda: Oh no. Then what happened?

Aidan: Morgan showed up and Robin ran off. I asked Morgan what he did but he didn't know anything.

Brenda: You can't find her?

Aidan: No. I called the house but no answer.

Brenda: Okay we'll split up (Aidan and Brenda leaves.)

Setting: Brenda's cottage

After a couple of hours of looking for Robin, Brenda still couldn't find her. Brenda was hoping Robin was here. It was the only place she hasn't looked. Brenda makes her way to the cottage. She smiled when she saw Robin sitting on the steps. She felt so relieved.

Brenda: Hey you.

Robin: (smiles at Brenda) Hi (Brenda takes seat next to Robin.)

Brenda: Been waiting long?

Robin: I don't know.

Brenda: You want to come inside?

Robin: It's nice out here.

Brenda: You want to tell me what happened today?

Robin: I guess you talked to Aidan.

Brenda: Yes.

Robin: I made such a mistake Brenda, a mistake that a doctor can't make.

Brenda: But nothing happened.

Robin: Only because Monica caught it. Brenda, I'm a doctor. I'm supposed to put the interest of my patient before everything else. What kind of a doctor am I if I can't do that?

Brenda: You're a good doctor Robin. You made one mistake.

Robin: No, I wasn't thinking. I was distracted. What if I was in surgery? I can't afford these kinds of lapses.

Brenda: I think you're being too hard on yourself.

Robin: I have to be. I'm responsible for that person's life Brenda.

Brenda: Look Sweetie, everyone has a bad day. Next time you'll know how to better handle it.

Robin: I asked Alan to complete my transfer papers. I'm going to finish my residency in Paris.

Brenda: No Robin!

Robin: I have to. I have no distractions in Paris.

Brenda: What distractions? Carly is out of your life. David is dead. You and Jason are getting along fine.

Robin: I need to do this.

Brenda: You're running away. What are you running from Robin?

Robin: Please Brenda.

Brenda: No! I'm not going to make this easy for you. You've rebuilt your life here again Robin. I'm not going to let you throw all that away.

Robin: I'm not. I won't be that far away.

Brenda: NO! Tell me why you've made this decision.

Robin: (takes a deep breath) I can't stay here and watch Jason build a life with someone else.

Brenda: What? (Brenda was confused) Someone else? Who?

Robin: Courtney.

Brenda: No, it can't be. Jason loves you.

Robin: But he wants Courtney.

Brenda: When did this happen? I thought you guys were finding your way back to each other after the shooting.

Robin: I haven't seen much of Jason since the shooting.

Brenda: Okay backup. Why not? And how is Courtney involved in this?

Robin: Jason didn't want to see me when he was in the hospital. But Courtney visited him all the time. I've seen them together a lot.

Brenda: So you think Jason wants Courtney now?

Robin: He looks happy with her. She doesn't cause him any pain.

Brenda: That's because he doesn't love her.

Robin: I don't want Jason to suffer because of me.

Brenda: Why would you think that?

Robin: It's the truth.

Brenda: No it isn't. Jason loves you. He doesn't want to see you hurt. I thank god for that.

Robin: That doesn't matter. Jason wants to be with Courtney. I've seen them together. They look happy Brenda. And I can't bear to witness it. I know it's coward of me but I just can't.

Brenda: So you were preoccupied with Jason this morning?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: Do you think distance is going to make you love him any less?

Robin: No but at least I don't have to see it. Can you understand that?

Brenda: Of course I do Sweetie. I don't want you to be in pain. I just don't want you to leave.

Robin: I don't either but I can't go on like this. I need to concentrate on my career. I can't do that here.

Brenda: When are you leaving?

Robin: I asked Alan to rush the paperwork.

Brenda: I hate to see you go. I'll miss you so much.

Robin: I'm only a flight away. You can come anytime.

Brenda: It's not the same.

Robin: I know. I'll miss you too. But you have Jax now.

Brenda: Jax can't replace you.

Robin: But he's your husband now. You need to concentrate on your lives together. Don't get distracted with other things. They're not as important as Jax.

Brenda: I love you sweetie (wraps her arms around Robin.)

Robin: I love you too.

For the next several days, Robin spent her time working at GH and doing extra photo shoots for Deception. Brenda still wanted to keep Robin as the Deception model until they found someone else. Robin avoided going public places all together. She didn't want to encounter Jason or Courtney. It was best that Robin didn't see Jason until things were settled. Robin told Emily about her move back to Paris. Emily wasn't happy. Robin didn't want Emily to say anything to anyone until Robin knew for certain.

Setting: Alan's office

Robin: Hi Alan. You wanted to see me?

Alan: Yes. Come sit down (Robin sits down) I received word from the hospital in Paris. They're very excited to have you join them again.

Robin: Dr. Deneuve?

Alan: Yes. She speaks very highly of you. They are ready for you.

Robin: Thank you Alan.

Alan: Robin, are you sure about this? We hate to see you leave. You have done tremendous good work for us.

Robin: I'm very honor to have worked for you and your staff. Your guidance and encouragement mean so much to me.

Alan: You made it very easy to be your mentor. When did you want your last day to be at GH?

Robin: August 19.

Alan: That's only a few days away.

Robin: Yes.

Alan: I hate to see you go. But I understand your decision.

Robin: Thank you Alan (Robin gets up to leave. Alan sadly watches her.)

Setting: Kelly's

Liz and Emily are at the counter talking with each other. At a table are Courtney and Jason. They girls can't help giving Courtney dirty looks.

Liz: What does your brother see in her?

Emily: I don't know.

Liz: They're together all the time.

Emily: Thank god I don't have to see them at the house.

Liz: That's because they're here.

Courtney: So, when do you think the building will be finish?

Jason: I'm hoping for the end of this year.

Courtney: That's so fast.

Jason: Julia is anxious to move the division there.

Courtney: Julia seems like a difficult person to work for.

Jason: She's not. She's tough. She knows what she wants.

Courtney: (dreamily) It must be something to have all that money.

Tess came walking in quickly. She was out of breath. She makes her way to the counter and talking at the same time.

Tess: (speaking loudly) Did you hear about Robin?

Emily: What?

Tess: Everything is all settled.

Emily: So quick?

Liz: (confused) What? What's settled? (Jason was tune in on the girl's conversation. As soon as he heard Tess say Robin's name, he was lost to Courtney.)

Tess: (looking at Emily) She doesn't know?

Emily: Robin made me promise.

Liz: Know what? (Frustrated, Liz raises her voice) What about Robin?

Jason: What's wrong with Robin? (All the girls look at Jason. No one answered Jason.) What?

Emily: (the first to recover) It's not your concern Jason.

Jason: If something is wrong with Robin, I want to know.

Liz: I think you have someone waiting for you (Jason looks at the three girls. It was obvious they weren't going to tell him anything. Jason angrily walks away.) What is going on?

Tess: (a little quieter) You might as well tell her.

Emily: (lowers her voice) Robin is moving back to Paris.

Liz: (loudly) What? She can't do that (Tess and Emily tries to quiet Liz down. But Jason already heard the statement. He was looking over at the girls. Courtney was watching Jason angrily.) You didn't just say that!

Tess: It's true. Her paperwork came in today. I was with Brenda when Robin called.

Liz: I can't believe it.

Emily: Did Robin say when?

Tess: In a few days.

Liz: But that's so quick.

Tess: (looking over at Jason and Courtney) Can you blame her? (All 3 girls give Jason and Courtney dirty looks. Jason was totally confused.) I need some food.

Liz: (recovers a little) Oh okay.

Emily: I have to get to class.

Liz: I'll see you later (Emily leaves. Jason got up and follows Emily.)

Jason: Emily

Emily: Yes Jason.

Jason: What's going on with Robin?

Emily: I can't tell you.

Jason: Is something wrong with Robin? Please tell me Emily.

Emily: Wrong? I guess it depends on how you look at it. I can't tell you. I'm sure if Robin wants you to know, she'll tell you herself. I have to get to class. Bye

Emily walks off. Jason was even more confused. He wonders what's going on with Robin. Is she sick? No, Alan would have told him. What could it be? Carly was still in jail. Jason thinks for a second. He hasn't seen Robin since the day he saw her crying by the docks. She had looked confused and disoriented. Alcazar. It must have something to do with him. He hasn't seen Alcazar around and he hasn't seen Robin around. Jason thought of the worst. Could Robin have gotten married? That would explain why Liz, Emily, and Tess were surprised. Jason couldn't comprehend Robin being married. He knew that Robin loves Alcazar. He heard her telling Alcazar so several times. Jason didn't want accept this. His mind and heart refuse to believe it. But Jason had a sinking feeling that it was true.

Setting: Mac's house later

Aidan walks in to see boxes lined up against the wall. He looks around sadly. Aidan sees Robin sitting on the couch packing her books.

Aidan: So it's true.

Robin: Yeah.

Aidan: What about Anna and Mac?

Robin: I've left them messages.

Aidan: Can't you stay a little longer? At least until they get back?

Robin: The hospital is waiting for me.

Aidan: I really hate to see you leave. I moved here to be closer to you and Anna.

Robin: But now you have Julia.

Aidan: Julia is not you.

Robin: How are things with you guys?

Aidan: We're having fun together.

Robin: I noticed you haven't been sleeping at home lately.

Aidan: Robin!

Robin: (laughs) What? I'm a big girl.

Aidan: Still.

Robin: Julia is really a great person. I'm glad you guys found each other.

Aidan: Me too. So what do you want to do tonight?

Robin: Besides packing?

Aidan: Yes.

Robin: I don't know.

Aidan: You want to go out for dinner?

Robin: I rather not. I could make us something.

Aidan: That'll work.

Robin: Let's see what we have (Robin heads into the kitchen. The doorbell rings.)

Aidan: I'll get it (Aidan goes to open the door) What do you want?

Jason: I want to see Robin.

Aidan: Well she doesn't want to see you.

Jason: Is she okay?

Aidan: What do you care?

Jason: Just tell me if she's okay.

Aidan: She is now that you're out of her life.

Jason: Is Robin here? (Jason pushes his way in. He stops when he saw all the boxes. Jason realizes that it was true.) Are those Robin's?

Aidan: Good guess. Ready to leave yet? (Jason looks around the living room and noticed that there were a lot of boxes packed. Jason silently leaves.) Good riddance (Aidan shuts the door.)

Robin: How about some stir-fry? The fridge is kind of empty. Who was at the door?

Aidan: Jason.

Robin: (looks over at Aidan) What did he want?

Aidan: Wanted to know if you're okay.

Robin: Oh. Stir-fry okay?

Aidan: (feels bad for Robin) Perfect.

Setting: The Bridge

Jason slowly makes his way to the bridge. It was painful to be here, knowing Robin was married to someone else. How was he going to live with this? Jason thought time apart from Robin would help the hurt but it doesn't. He misses her more and he still loves her. His heart and his mind come alive whenever he sees her. Now Robin belongs to someone else. He lost her forever. Jason wipes the tears from his eyes. Robin was someone else's wife.

Robin spent the next day buried in work. She wanted to get as much done at GH as she could. Tomorrow was her last day and she didn't want to leave anything hanging. Brenda had called and said that everyone wanted to throw her a going away party at Luke's. Robin didn't feel like going but she caved in.

Setting: Luke's

Everyone was at Luke's waiting for Robin to arrive. Everyone was still a little shock that Robin was leaving. Robin parks her car and was making her way to the door when she saw Sonny.

Sonny: Hi Robin.

Robin: (smiles a little) Hi. How are you doing?

Sonny: Better.

Robin: I'm glad to see out.

Sonny: Yeah. There are a lot of people waiting inside for you. What's going on?

Robin: It's my going away party.

Sonny: (surprise) Going away? Where are you going?

Robin: Back to Paris.

Sonny: (surprise) What? Why?

Robin: It's a long story to get into. But ultimately it's best thing for me.

Sonny: Does Jason know this?

Robin: It doesn't have anything to do with him.

Sonny: I can't believe he would let you leave. Not again.

Robin: Jason has moved on with his life. I have to accept that.

Sonny: (Sonny was bewildered) Moved on? What are you talking about?

Robin: Jason has found someone who makes him happy. I'm glad for him.

Sonny: I don't understand. Who?

Robin: Courtney.

Sonny: Courtney? (A little confused) You must be mistaken.

Robin: I'm not.

Sonny: Is this why you're leaving?

Robin: One of the reasons.

Sonny: Robin, there's got to be some mistake.

Robin: There isn't. I only bring pain for Jason. He doesn't need that. He deserves more. He's found someone who he can love without having to deal with the pain. I can't fault him for that.

Sonny: (shakes his head) This isn't right. The love you have for one another is forever. It doesn't just die like that.

Robin: I love Jason but I love him enough to want him to be happy.

Sonny: Robin...

Robin: (smiles at Sonny) I hope things workout for you Sonny. I hope you find the happiness that you deserve (she hugs Sonny) I love you Sonny.

Sonny: (his eyes water) I love you sweetheart.

Robin: I'll call you with my info. Don't forget to keep in touch.

Sonny: I won't. When are you leaving?

Robin: The day after tomorrow.

Sonny: It's so soon.

Robin: It's better this way. I better go in.

Sonny: (sadly) Okay.

Robin: Bye Sonny

Sonny sadly watches Robin walks into Luke. He was still trying to digest what Robin told him about Jason and Courtney. Sonny can't believe it was true. Jason would have said something to him. He needs to talk to Jason before it was too late. Sonny rushed off.

Robin walks into Luke and everyone rush toward her. Everyone was giving her hugs and good wishes. Robin was surprise to see so many people. She had tears in her eyes.

Brenda: Okay everyone we can't have our girl crying already. This is a happy occasion. Robin is going off to become the best neurosurgeon out there. When she comes back, we all will probably need to make an appointment to visit her (everyone laughs) How about a toast? (Everyone raises their glasses) To the future Dr. Robin Scorpio, may the road ahead be full of happiness and success. To the future (everyone chimed in and cling their glasses. Jason was at the door to hear the last part Brenda's toast. Jason looks at Robin and sees the tears in her eyes and the smile on her face. She was happy, Jason thought. Sadly Jason leaves. It was true. Seeing and hearing the toast made it a reality to Jason.)

Sonny arrived at Jason's apartment and knocks on the door. There was no answer. Sonny bangs louder. Sonny wonders where Jason could be. He takes out his phone and dials a number. No answer. Sonny dials another number and Jason's answer machine picks up.

Sonny: Jason, we need to talk. It's urgent. Call me (Sonny hangs up the phone and leaves.)

Sonny got to the bridge and there was no sign of Jason. Sonny was running out of places to look for Jason. Sonny takes out his phone.

Courtney: Hello?

Sonny: Courtney, it's Sonny. Is Jason with you?

Courtney: Hi Sonny.

Sonny: (frantic) Is Jason with you?

Courtney: No why?

Sonny: Do you know where he is?

Courtney: I haven't seen him all day. What's wrong?

Sonny: Nothing. I just need to speak to him (Sonny hangs up abruptly) Where are you Jason?

Setting: GH, the next day

Robin went through her rounds. She said goodbye to the patients, nurses and doctors. Robin was feeling sad as she made her way to her locker. She put all her stuff in her bag. She didn't think it was going to be this hard to leave. Robin takes a last look at the break room and walks out carrying her bag. She stops at the nurse station.

Robin: Hi Amy.

Amy: Hi Robin.

Robin: Here are my pager and PDA (hands Amy her stuff)

Amy: I'm sorry to see you go. It won't be the same without you.

Robin: I'll miss you Amy. Thank you for all the help you gave me.

Amy: It was my pleasure.

Robin: (gives Amy a hug) Bye Amy

Amy: Bye Robin (Amy watches as Robin makes her way to the elevator. She was sad to see Robin leave.)

Setting: Mac's house

Robin dejectedly walks in the house. She sees all the packed boxes and her suitcases. Robin walks to the living room and puts her bag down. Robin looks at her watch. She wasn't supposed to be at Brenda's for another 3 hours. Brenda wanted to have a quiet dinner with her, Jax, Julia and Aidan. Robin makes her way up to her room. Her room looks different with everything all packed up. On her table was a box wrapped with a bow. Robin walked over and picks up the package. She had picked the present months ago. Robin puts down the package and goes to her closet and changed.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason groggily makes his way inside his apartment. He's been riding all night. The wind blowing in his face help kept his thought at bay. He didn't want to think about Robin but he couldn't stop. The more he thought of Robin, the faster he rode. The sun had started to rise when Jason finally turned his bike around to go home. Jason makes his way to the bathroom for a shower. He needed sleep but he knew he would dream of Robin if he closed his eyes. Jason stayed under the shower for a few extra minutes. Jason got out of the shower and dries himself off. He puts on a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. Jason heads back out to the living room. He presses the button on the answering machine on his way to the kitchen. Jason could hear Sonny's voice telling him to call him. Jason heads back to the living room and picks the phone. He dials Sonny's number.

Sonny: Hello?

Jason: What's the matter?

Sonny: (his voice sounded urgent) Where have you been? I've been looking for you all night.

Jason: I was out. What's wrong? (There's a knock at the door) hold on there's someone at the door (Jason goes to the door and opens it. Jason couldn't believe who was standing before him. Jason didn't know what to say.)

Robin: (smiles tentatively) Hi (she notices that Jason was holding the phone) did I catch you at a bad time? I could come back later (Jason blinks a couple of times.)

Jason: (without looking away from Robin) Sonny, I'll call you back (Jason hangs up the phone.) What are you doing here?

Robin: (Robin winced at Jason's question. She's already here.) May I come in for a few minutes? (Jason steps aside so Robin could walk in. He couldn't stop looking at Robin. Jason takes a few steps. Robin turns toward Jason and holds out the present to Jason.) I wanted to give you this (she hands Jason the present.)

Jason: (slowly takes the present without looking away from Robin) What's this?

Robin: (smiles) A present.

Jason: (confused) Why?

Robin: (smiles a little) I saw it at the bookstore and thought of you (Jason didn't remember what today was. Robin was sad but brushed it aside.) Are you going to open it?

Jason: Sure. Sit down (Robin and Jason make their way to the sofa and sit down. Jason tears off the paper and opens the box. He takes out the book. Jason looks at the book bewildered.)

Robin: It's a book on the history of architecture for the last 100 years. I thought you might find it useful. It's supposed to be the must have book for all architects.

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Thank you (Jason's eyes wanders over Robin's face and then down to her hand. Jason frowns when he didn't see a ring on her finger. He wonders why. Robin wouldn't be one to not wear a ring. Robin notices the frown on Jason's face.)

Robin: Is something wrong?

Jason: Wrong?

Robin: You have a frown on your face.

Jason: Are you happy Robin?

Robin: (puzzled by the question) Happy as I can be (they grow silent) Jason I want to tell you something before you find out from someone else (Jason mentally brace himself) I'm moving back to Paris (Jason looks oddly at Robin. He wasn't expecting that.)

Jason: What?

Robin: I've decided to finish my residency in Paris.

Jason: (still confused) Why?

Robin: It's for the best.

Jason: Alcazar doesn't want you to stay here?

Robin: Luis doesn't have anything to do with my decision.

Jason: (Jason was confused. He didn't understand why Robin has to leave. He doesn't know how to deal with not seeing her. He wasn't expecting this.) When?

Robin: Tomorrow.

Jason: (shocked) What? Why so soon?

Robin: There's no reason to wait.

Jason: I thought you like living here.

Robin: I do but it's for the best if I'm not here (Robin gets up) that's all I wanted to tell you. I hope you like the book (Robin slowly walks to the door with Jason following behind. Jason didn't know what to say. He was trying to comprehend that he won't be seeing Robin anymore. Robin turns back to Jason. They were standing close to each other. Robin looks up at Jason.) I hope you find the happiness you deserve with Courtney (Jason looks oddly at Robin) Goodbye Jason (Jason doesn't respond. He just looks blankly at Robin retreating back. Robin goes to open the door.)

Jason: What did you say? (Robin stops and turns around. She looks at Jason weirdly.) What did you just say?

Robin: (takes a deep breath) I said that I hope you find happiness with Courtney. I really do Jason.

Jason: Courtney? (Confusion all over his face) what does Courtney have anything to do with my happiness?

Robin: (looks at Jason sadly) I know you'll be happy together. You love each other.

Jason: (blinks a couple of time and shakes his head) What? I don't love Courtney.

Robin: You will eventually. She's a nice girl.

Jason: I'll never love Courtney. Why would you think I would?

Robin: I...I saw how happy you are with Courtney.

Jason: But that doesn't mean I love her.

Robin: (confused) I don't understand.

Jason: I don't either. What's going on Robin?

Robin: I don't know. I shouldn't be here (Robin tries to leave but Jason held on to her hand. Robin looks up at Jason.)

Jason: Not until you explain what you were talking about. Why do you think I love Courtney?

Robin: (hesitate slightly) I've seen you together. You look happy Jason. I did thought that you...that you...but then you wouldn't let me see you in the hospital. I didn't know what to think. But then I saw Courtney visiting you all the time. It makes sense why you didn't want to see me.

Jason: (he frowns) I'm sorry.

Robin: I just didn't understand why you turned away from me. If you wanted to be with Courtney, you only had to tell me. I wouldn't have stood in your way Jason.

Jason: I don't want to be with Courtney (Robin was really confused now.)

Robin: Then why? (Jason was heartbroken to see the hurt and sadness on Robin's face. He didn't realize how much he hurt her when he wouldn't let her see him. Jason leads Robin to the sofa. They sat down together.)

Jason: I was angry. I shouldn't have turned you away.

Robin: But why? Did I do something to upset you?

Jason: I shouldn't have turned you away.

Robin: Jason, I still don't understand.

Jason: Robin, I meant what I said. My heart only knows how to love one person...you (Robin stared at Jason surprise and shock. Tears gather in her eyes.)

Robin: But I saw but what about Courtney? (Robin finally managed to say.)

Jason: Courtney is a friend. I've told her that. Courtney knows of my feelings for you.

Robin: (she continues to look at Jason with disbelief) But she...Courtney said.

Jason: What? (Robin gets up the sofa and paces.)

Robin: Why don't you love Courtney? She can make you happy. I know she can (Jason gets up and goes to stand in front of Robin. He looks into Robins eyes.)

Jason: Courtney doesn't make me happy Robin.

Robin: (Robin shakes her head in denial.) But I saw you. You were happy. You weren't in pain and you weren't sad.

Jason: You saw me speaking to a friend (Robin looks at Jason with tears in her eyes) I love you Robin. I've never stopped loving you. Not for one second (tears flows down Robin's face. Jason tenderly wipes it away with his fingers.) How could you doubt it?

Robin: I didn't want to. It was so hard for me to see you with Courtney. I tried to be strong but I couldn't. It hurts too much.

Jason: Is that why you married Alcazar?

Robin: (stunned and shocked) What? Did you say I married Luis?

Jason: It's okay Robin. We can work things out.

Robin: Jason, Luis left almost 2 weeks ago.

Jason: (shakes his head in confusion) What? But I heard you.

Robin: What did you hear?

Jason: I heard you telling him that you love him.

Robin: And I do, as a friend. I couldn't return Luis' feelings. I tried.

Jason: I saw you at the docks with him.

Robin: I was saying goodbye. I had told Luis of my feelings and he decided he didn't want to stay in Port Charles.

Jason: (relief showed on his face) You were?

Robin: (nods her head) Yes.

Jason: Why?

Robin: I've tried to so hard to fight my feelings for you. But everyday it just grows stronger.

Jason: (he tilts Robin's face up to his) What are you saying Robin?

Robin: (with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips) I love you Jason. I loved you for a long time now.

Jason: You do? (Jason couldn't believe that Robin loves him) You really love me?

Robin: (smiling wobbly) Yes...I was fighting so hard to keep my feelings for you buried. But when you got shot, I was devastated. I couldn't stand the thought of losing you. And when you open your eyes and I saw your beautiful blue eyes I knew that I didn't want to fight it anymore. I wanted to love you like you love me (Jason continues to look at Robin. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He's waited so long to hear her say she loves him. And now that she has, Jason was speechless. He didn't know what else to do but tightly gathered Robin in his arms. Robin was happy to be in Jason's arms.)

Jason: (softly against Robin's ears) I never thought you would say those words to me again. I love you Robin. I will never let you go again (tears slip from Jason's face.)

Robin: (pulls back a little and looks up at Jason) I love you so much Jason. I didn't think it was possible for me to love you more than I once did but I do (Jason leans down and tenderly takes Robin's lips in his. Robin slowly shyly responds at first but then she gave into Jason. Robin tightly holds Jason to her and deeply kissed him. They clung to each other, arching into each other for more access and closeness. Jason ravaged Robin's mouth. He kissed every part of Robin's mouth. When he was satisfied, he trailed kisses onto Robin's face.)

Jason: (with a hoarsely voice) Do you know what you do to me Robin? I can't get enough of you (Jason goes back to kissing Robin. Robin continues to hold tightly to Jason. She knew she wasn't capable of standing on her own. This was what she was missing for the last 5 years. She missed Jason. She missed Jason holding her, kissing her.)

Robin: (softly against Jason's cheeks) Jason, I can't stand anymore (Jason looks at Robin and smiled. Jason bends and lifts Robin up in his arms. He slowly makes his way to the sofa. He settles Robin in his lap.) I didn't mean for you to carry me.

Jason: (smiling softly) I had to take advantage of the opportunity (tenderly sweeps Robin's hair behind her ear) I can't believe you're here with me.

Robin: (smiles sweetly at Jason) I'm here with you (Robin reaches up and kissed Jason. Jason couldn't help but respond. After a few minutes, they both slightly break apart for some air.)

Jason: You are so beautiful (touches Robin's lips with his fingers) I dream of having you in my arms and kissing you. When I was in the hospital you were all I dreamed about. I was so aggravated because I didn't have any way to release my frustrations (Robin smiles and softly touches Jason's face.)

Robin: You make me feel so special (Jason takes Robin's hands in his.)

Jason: Robin, you are special. I've always known you are. You were able to get through to me when no one could. You taught me to love and to care. You believed in me when I didn't believe in myself (he leans in to give Robin another kiss. Robin returns Jason's kiss with a kiss of her own. Jason guided Robin to lie down on the sofa with him. Jason used his arm to keep his weight off of Robin as he kisses her. But Robin wouldn't let it. Robin tightly wraps her arms around Jason and pulls him to her. Robin continues to deeply kiss Jason. Jason explored Robin's body with his hand. He touched her delicate curves and soft spots. Robin would giggle when Jason touched her sensitive spots.) I can't get enough of you Robin. I don't want to stop kissing you and touching you. Not ever.

Robin: You don't have to.

Jason: I don't want to scare you.

Robin: I'm not Jason (Robin leans up slightly and kissed Jason. Robin places light kisses on Jason's lips. Jason couldn't stand the teasing. He hungrily takes Robin's lips in his mouth. Jason and Robin continue to hold and kiss each other. After a while, Robin suddenly breaks away from Jason.) Oh my god, Brenda! I forgot all about Brenda.

Jason: (gives Robin a few more kisses on her neck) Brenda can wait until later.

Robin: Jason, I was supposed to be there for dinner. She's probably worried about me.

Jason: (looks straight into Robin's eyes) You're not leaving Robin.

Robin: (smiles at Jason) I wasn't planning to leave. May I use your phone? (Jason reaches for the phone and hands it to Robin.) Thank you (Jason continues to kiss Robin as she dials the phone.)

Brenda: Hello?

Robin: Brenda?

Brenda: (with worries in her voice) Robin. Where are you? Are you okay? Please tell me you're okay.

Robin: Brenda I'm fine (Robin giggles slightly as Jason kisses her on the neck.)

Brenda: Robin, are you giggling?

Robin: I'm sorry. I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight.

Brenda: But it's your last night here.

Robin: I know (another giggle.)

Brenda: (suspicious) Where are you, Robin?

Robin: With Jason.

Jason: (chimes in) Hi Brenda.

Brenda: (smiles wickedly) I see. You have a lot of explaining to do little sister.

Robin: I know. Are you mad?

Brenda: No of course not. What's dinner compared to Jason?

Robin: (laughs) Thank you Brenda. I love you.

Brenda: Yeah yeah. I want details.

Robin: Tomorrow. Bye (before Robin could properly hang up the phone, Jason was all over her. He gathers her in his arms to thoroughly kiss Robin.) What was that for?

Jason: I missed you.

Robin: (laughs) I didn't go anywhere.

Jason: But you were busy doing something else (Jason leans in to give Robin another kiss.) I did say I couldn't get enough of you.

Robin: Yes you did (Robin kisses Jason sweetly. Jason pulls back after a couple of seconds. He has a funny look on his face.) Jason?

Jason: What happens now? Are you still leaving? (Robin looks at Jason and bites her lower lips. She hadn't thought of her leaving with all the excitement she felt for Jason.) Robin?

Robin: I wanted to leave because I couldn't bear seeing you with Courtney.

Jason: Will you stay?

Robin: Do you want me to?

Jason: I love you Robin but I won't make that decision for you.

Robin: I never wanted to leave.

Jason: Then why?

Robin: That night I saw you at the Grille. I was so devastated. You looked right through me and seemed so happy with Courtney. I went to sleep that night with images of you and Courtney in bed together. I went to GH the next day distracted, disoriented. I made a grave mistake that I shouldn't have made.

Jason: What mistake?

Robin: I made the wrong diagnose. I was so distraught and ashamed. I hated myself for letting my personal life interfere with my professional life. I went to Alan the very same day asking to be transferred.

Jason: I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were in so much pain. But Robin, everyone makes mistakes.

Robin: I know. But I think that was just the final straw for me. I realized that I couldn't watch you build a life with someone else. I wanted you to be happy but I just didn't want to have to witness it.

Jason: Robin, no one could make me happy but you.

Robin: How can you say that? I bring you nothing but heartache and pain.

Jason: (surprise by Robins words) What? How can you think that?

Robin: It's true. You lost Michael because of me. You got shot because of me. I didn't want to believe Courtney. But it was hard not to.

Jason: Courtney? What did she have to do with this?

Robin: She said that you suffer too much because of your love for me. I don't want you to suffer Jason. Not ever (Jason was angry to hear Courtney said this to Robin. Jason takes Robin's face in his hands.)

Jason: Robin, I'll take all the pain, the sadness, the torture to have you with me, even if its just for one minute. My life without you in it is nothing. Do you hear me Robin? I am nothing without you (Robin looks at Jason with tears in her eyes. She wraps her arms around Jason's neck and holds on to him tightly.)

Robin: I thought I had a life but I knew I was missing so much when I saw you again. I love you Jason and I don't want to leave you.

Jason: (with tears in his eyes, he looks at Robin) I was hoping you say that because I don't think I have it in me to let you go again. I love you so very much Robin.

Setting: Jason's apartment, next day

Robin and Jason were still lying on the sofa in each other's arms sleeping. Jason didn't want Robin to leave and she didn't really want to leave either. They spent the night in each other arms kissing and talking. They didn't fall asleep until the early morning. Robin was the first to awake. She smiles when she saw Jason lying next to her. Robin lifts her hand and softly touched Jason's face. She loves his face. It was so beautiful. She could always tell what he was thinking by the expression on his face. Robin softly kisses Jason's lips. She was about to pull back when Jason returns her kiss.

Robin: I didn't mean to wake you.

Jason: (smiles) You can wake me up like that anytime (Jason tenderly brushes hair off of Robin's face) you're so beautiful.

Robin: Not as beautiful as you.

Jason: I can't be beautiful.

Robin: I have to argue with that.

Jason: You're a doctor not a lawyer, Robin.

Robin: I could be both.

Jason: Well not today you can't. What time is it?

Robin: It's probably late.

Jason: How did you sleep?

Robin: Very nicely (Jason leans in to kiss Robin) very, very nicely (Jason kisses her some more) Ugh, I have to go.

Jason: Why?

Robin: Well you have to get to work and I have to go see Alan about getting my job back.

Jason: Oh okay. Will I see you later?

Robin: Yes, if you want to.

Jason: I'll make dinner for us.

Robin: You don't have to do that.

Jason: I want to.

Robin: Then I'll be here (Jason helps Robin up from the sofa. Jason smiles softly as he watches Robin straighten her clothes out. Robin catches him smiling at her.) Stop.

Jason: What?

Robin: Smiling at me. It's your fault that my clothes are all wrinkled (Jason takes Robin in his arms and kisses her.)

Jason: Next time I'll be sure to undress you properly (Robin blushes at Jason's frankness. Jason noticed.) I'll let you help me undress me.

Robin: (her cheeks got even redder) Jason (Laughing, Jason tightly embraces Robin.)

Jason: You are the best present I could ever ask for. Thank you.

Robin: Did you remember what today is?

Jason: Our anniversary.

Robin: (Robin smiles) You remembered.

Jason: How could I not? It was the best day of my life (Jason kissed Robin again) the second best day (Robin was so touched, she leaned up to give Jason another deep kiss.)

Robin: I better go (Jason walks Robin to the door. He gives her another searing kiss. Robin didn't want to pull away.) Oh, you're so bad. I have to go (Robin quickly gives Jason another kiss and opens the door.) I'll see you tonight.

Jason: (smiles at Robin) Tonight (Jason watches as Robin makes her way down the corridor. He closed the door behind him. Jason still couldn't believe that he spent the entire night with Robin in his arms. Not only that, Robin loves him. Jason grins from ear to ear as he makes his way to the shower.)

Setting: Mac's house

Robin steps inside the house with a big smile on her face. She couldn't believe she was with Jason the entire night. Robin looks around at all the boxes. She needs to shower and go see Alan.

Aidan: (coming out of the kitchen) Well, well look who decided to come home finally?

Robin: (can't stop smiling) Hi. How was dinner?

Aidan: Food was so so but the conversation was thrilling.

Robin: Oh?

Aidan: Brenda couldn't stop talking about you being with Jason. That you guys finally hooked up.

Robin: Oh.

Aidan: That's all you have to say? What happened?

Robin: You promised you wouldn't get mad?

Aidan: I suppose.

Robin: I went to Jason to give him a present and to tell him goodbye. I also wished Jason happiness with Courtney, which Jason didn't understand why. It was all a misunderstanding Aidan. Jason heard me telling Luis that I love him. But Jason didn't realize that I was telling Luis that I loved him as a friend. That's why he isolated himself from me at the hospital. He thought I was building my future with Luis. Jason actually thought that I married Luis. Can you believe that? And I thought that Jason loved Courtney.

Aidan: So everything is straightened out?

Robin: Yes. We finally talked everything through. Jason really loves me Aidan. I love him. I love him with all of my heart.

Aidan: I can see that.

Robin: Are you mad?

Aidan: I can't very well be mad when there's so much happiness on your face.

Robin: I am happy.

Aidan: Then that's what I want. Does this mean you're not leaving?

Robin: Gosh no. I can't leave. Jason and I just found each other again. I have to go talk to Alan.

Aidan: You want anything to eat?

Robin: No, I'm fine. I have to go take a shower.

Aidan: Yeah. You definitely don't look very professional.

Robin: (smiles and hugs Aidan) Thank you for not being mad Aidan.

Aidan: Yeah, yeah. Go take your shower (Robin quickly gives Aidan a kiss on the cheeks and quickly rushes off. Aidan shakes his head at Robin.)

Setting: Kelly's

Jason walked into Kelly's with a blank look on his face. He sees Courtney working at the counter. He walks to the counter. Courtney smiles sweetly when she saw Jason approach.

Courtney: Hi Jason. I didn't expect to see you now.

Jason: (harshly) What do you think you were doing?

Courtney: (notices that Jason looks upset) What do you mean?

Jason: Robin.

Courtney: What about Robin? I haven't seen her in days.

Jason: Don't lie to me (he said through his teeth.)

Courtney: (scare by Jason's tone) I don't know what you're talking about Jason.

Jason: (almost yelling) Why did you tell Robin that my love for her makes me suffer?

Courtney: (tries to denies) Did Robin tell you that?

Jason: (yells) Answer my question!

Courtney: (jumps a little) Jason I thought I was doing the right thing.

Jason: You have no right to say anything to Robin.

Courtney: I was trying to help.

Jason: (he asked angrily) Did I ask for your help?

Courtney: I care what happens to you.

Jason: That doesn't give you the right to interfere in my life.

Courtney: Jason, I know you think you're only capable of loving Robin. But it's not true. Love shouldn't bring you pain and sorrow. Love should make you happy.

Jason: (annoyed) What are you talking about?

Courtney: I see you hurting Jason. Why does loving Robin bring you so much pain?

Jason: Because I love Robin. If I didn't love her I wouldn't feel the pain. I'm glad to feel anything. I don't care if it's pain or sorrow or happiness or pleasure. I only feel them for Robin.

Courtney: (shakes her head at Jason) You don't believe that.

Jason: (adamantly) It's the truth. I don't care if you accept that or not.

Courtney: Jason, I'm your friend. I don't want to see you hurt.

Jason: If you were really my friend then you would know that when Robin hurts, I hurt.

Courtney: (taken back by Jason's words) I am your friend Jason.

Jason: I don't think so.

Courtney: What?

Jason: I obviously made a mistake by befriending you. I felt bad that you didn't have anyone. But you've misunderstood our friendship.

Courtney: Are you saying you don't feel anything for me?

Jason: My heart has always belonged to Robin, no one else not even for one second.

Courtney: Jason, I know I can make you happy.

Jason: I am happy. I have Robin.

Courtney: Robin?

Jason: I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of my being with Robin. Not even you (with severe voice) I want you to stay away from Robin.

Courtney: (startled by Jason's voice) Jason, you're scaring me.

Jason: I won't tell you again Courtney (Jason gives Courtney a stern look before he left. Courtney was shaken by the encounter. She's never seen Jason so angry. She was frightened by his manner.)

AJ: Courtney, are you okay?

Courtney: (looks at AJ disoriented) AJ?

AJ: I heard your conversation, actually everyone in the restaurant heard your conversation with Jason. Are you okay?

Courtney: (tries to play it off) Yeah I'm fine. Jason is just a little angry right now.

AJ: I would take Jason's warning seriously, Courtney. He would probably kill anyone who hurt Robin. Look at Carly.

Courtney: He wouldn't hurt me.

AJ: I don't think Jason holds you high in regards right now. It would be best if you stay away from Robin and Jason (Courtney looks at AJ. She knew AJ was right. She has lost Jason.)

Setting: Brenda's office

After talking to Alan, Robin heads over to Brenda. Alan was very happy to hear that Robin changed her mind about leaving. Alan said he would work on the paperwork for her. Robin graciously thanked Alan and left. Robin walks into Brenda's office with a big smile.

Robin: Hi

Brenda: (looks up to see a happy and smiling Robin) Look at you (Brenda walks around her desk to Robin and hugs her) you look like you swallow a canary.

Robin: I did better (they go to sit down on the sofa.)

Brenda: Do tell.

Robin: Jason loves me.

Brenda: Duh, I could have told you that.

Robin: I love Jason Brenda.

Brenda: No news there either.

Robin: Jason thought I loved Luis and that I married him.

Brenda: What? Where did he get such a stupid idea?

Robin: He overheard me talking to Luis. That's why he wouldn't see me while he was in the hospital.

Brenda: That knucklehead. Why didn't he come to me?

Robin: Don't be angry with Jason. I misunderstood too.

Brenda: What do you mean?

Robin: When Jason woke up from surgery, Courtney was there. She told me that Jason's love for me makes him suffer. I thought she was right. I mean he just took a bullet for me. When Jason wouldn't let me see him, I saw Courtney visiting Jason a lot. I thought that Jason also thought the same. I really believed that Jason fell in love with Courtney.

Brenda: I am going to smack that girl when I see her.

Robin: Don't Brenda. I think she really does care for Jason.

Brenda: Of course she does. She cares for Jason for herself.

Robin: (laughs) It doesn't matter. Jason and I are together now.

Brenda: So this means you're not leaving?

Robin: Nope. I just talked to Alan.

Brenda: Thank god! So you were with Jason all night?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: Really?

Robin: Nothing happened.

Brenda: Nothing? No kissing? No touching?

Robin: (a little embarrass) There was some of that.

Brenda: OH!

Robin: Brenda, stop.

Brenda: You blush so beautifully. I couldn't help myself. I'm glad everything worked out.

Robin: I am too.

Brenda: You look really happy, little sis.

Robin: I didn't think I could be this happy.

Brenda: Finally! (The girls laugh together)

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason rushed home from the construction site. He didn't want to take the chance of missing Robin. As soon as he got home, he checked his fridge and it was practically empty. He checked the cupboards and it was the same. Damn, Jason thought. He didn't really want to go out for dinner. Actually Jason didn't want to share Robin with anyone right now. He just got her back and he wanted to spend time with her alone. Pizza. Jason walks over to the phone. Robin likes pizza, Jason thought to himself. Jason quickly ordered some pizza. Jason then jumped into the shower. He was so excited at Robin coming over. Jason got out of the shower and put on some clothes. He didn't even bother to dry himself off. Just as Jason was walking out of the bathroom, there's a knock at the door. Jason quickly goes to open the door.

Robin: (with a smile on her face) Did I interrupt your shower?

Jason: (almost giddy smile) No, I was finish (he moves aside so Robin can walk in. Robin hands Jason a box.) What's this?

Robin: Chocolate cake.

Jason: Really? (Jason bends down to kiss Robin sweetly. Jason didn't realize his hair was still so wet. A few drops of water dropped on Robins face and she laughs as she wipes them from her face.) I'm sorry.

Robin: It's okay. Why don't you go dry off?

Jason: Okay. Don't go anywhere.

Robin: I won't (Robin laughs and shakes her head as she watches Jason rushes to the bathroom. Robin took the box to the kitchen. She placed the cake on a plate and brings it back out to the living room. Jason comes back out and walks over to Robin. He takes her in his arms and kissed her. When Jason felt Robin responding, he deepens the kiss. Robin pulls back a little.) Hi.

Jason: (smiling) Hi. We have to wait until food shows up.

Robin: Food? (Robin asked a little disoriented from Jasons kisses.)

Jason: (smiling) Pizza.

Robin: Pizza. What do you want to do while we wait?

Jason: What we were just doing (Jason watches as Robin blushes) I missed you.

Robin: I missed you. But I did get everything taken care of.

Jason: You got your job back?

Robin: Alan said he had his fingers crossed.

Jason: I'll have to thank him later (Jason leans in to kiss Robin again. Robin arches herself closer to Jason and returns his kiss. Robin laces her fingers in Jason's hair. Um, she missed his hair. It's so soft. It tickles her fingers. Jason pulls back slightly.) Do you want something to drink? (Robin looks up at Jason a little bewildered. Jason smiles.)

Robin: Whatever you're having.

Jason: Okay. Sit down. I'll be right back (there was a knock at the door when Jason was in the kitchen. Jason yelled out from the kitchen.) Could you grab that? It's the pizza.

Robin: Sure (Robin makes her way to the door and opens it) Courtney.

Courtney: (abruptly) I'm looking for Jason.

Jason: (comes out of the kitchen, talking and walking toward the door) Robin, here's some money (Jason's smile disappears when he saw Courtney) What are you doing here?

Robin: I'll give you some privacy (Robin tries to step away from Jason but he holds onto her hand.)

Jason: No, there's nothing Courtney needs to say that you can't hear (Robin looks at Jason and then at Courtney.) What is it Courtney?

Courtney: (surprise that Jason was so abrupt toward her) May I come in?

Jason: That's not a good idea.

Robin: Jason, we can't really stand at the door and talk (Jason looks at Robin to see if she was okay. She nods her head to Jason. He steps aside to let Courtney in.)

Courtney: I wanted to say that I'm sorry for interfering in your life. I thought that I was doing the right thing.

Jason: You were wrong.

Courtney: I realize that now.

Jason: Is that it?

Courtney: (she looks at Jason but it didn't seem that Jason was ready to forgive her) I am really sorry Jason. I don't want to lose you as a friend.

Jason: Any friend of mine would not hurt Robin like you did. I can't forget that.

Courtney: (realizes that she made a big mistake) I hope one day you can forgive me (Courtney walks to the door and leaves.)

Robin: (not quite sure of what to say) Are you okay?

Jason: Yes

Robin: Jason, I don't want you to lose your friendship with Courtney because of me.

Jason: She hurt you and I almost lost you again.

Robin: But you didn't. I'm right here with you.

Jason: Yes. That's how it'll be from now on (Jason gathers Robin in his arms.)

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason was preparing dinner. Robin was supposed to come over and have dinner. They've been spending everyday together even though Robin did have to do one double shift. Jason could feel the excitement inside of him at the thought of Robin. He couldn't get enough of her. They've been making up for a lot of lost time. It was hard to let Robin leave every night. He wanted so much to fall asleep in her arms. Jason knew his body was craving for Robin. Every time they kiss he wanted more and more. But he didn't want to push Robin. He knew Robin would tell him when she's ready. There's a knock at the door. Jason quickly goes to open the door with a smile.

Jason: We need to get you a key (he pulls Robin into his arms for a crushing kiss.)

Robin: Then I wouldn't get such a nice hello.

Jason: You'll still get the same hello (he puts Robin down) hungry?

Robin: Starving (they head toward the table. Robin was impressed with the layout.) You put a lot of work into a simple dinner.

Jason: Maybe I was looking for a big thank you (Robin walks over to Jason and wraps her hands around his neck and sweetly kisses him.)

Robin: Thank you for dinner.

Jason: You haven't tasted it yet.

Robin: I'll love it like everything else you make (Robin leans in to kiss Jason again. Jason gathers Robin closer to him and hungrily returns her kiss.)

Jason: Maybe we should eat before we start this.

Robin: (pulls back) If you're sure (tries not to laugh)

Jason: (sees the humor on Robin's face) You're bad.

Robin: You like me that way.

Jason: (shakes his head, smiling) Sit down. I'll get the food.

Dinner passed evenly. Robin and Jason discussed their day. Robin watches happily as Jason talks about his building. She could see how happy he was with the progress of the building. After dinner, Robin helped Jason put the dishes in the dishwasher. They make their way to the sofa together.

Robin: That was a really good meal. Thank you for feeding me.

Jason: You're welcome.

Robin: I can't get into the habit of letting you cook.

Jason: Why not? I don't mind.

Robin: But you don't exactly like it.

Jason: I have to eat too. Besides the food tastes a lot better with you at the table.

Robin: (smiles) You are really something.

Jason: I missed you today (he leans in to kiss Robin. Robin returns Jason's kiss. Jason was more urgent in his kiss. Jason's hands roamed Robin's body. He deepens his kiss that caused Robin to groan his name softly.) Robin, I want you so much. I can't get enough of you (he hungrily takes Robin's mouth in his again. Robin arches herself into Jason. Robin pulls back slightly after a while. She looks at Jason with love in her eyes.) Robin?

Robin: I...I (not knowing how to tell Jason)

Jason: Do you want to stop Robin? (Robin gently shakes her head. She leans in to kiss Jason deeply. Jason gladly responds.) Robin, we don't have to rush this.

Robin: Jason, I don't want to stop (she looks at Jason.)

Jason: You don't?

Robin: I want you Jason.

Jason: Robin, are you sure?

Robin: Yes I want to be with you (she said almost shyly.)

Jason softly kisses Robin and lifts her up in his arms. Jason leans down to kiss Robin. Robin responds. Jason carries Robin into the bedroom. He slowly places Robin on the bed, his eyes never leaving hers. Robin lifts herself up slightly and kissed Jason. She wraps her arms tightly around Jason. Jason slowly lies down on top of Robin and deepens the kiss. Jason's hand slowly travels up and down Robin's body. He wanted to explore her body and know her again. Jason sucks in his breath when he felt Robin's soft hands against his skin underneath his shirt. Robin lightly caresses Jason's tight chest and stomach. Robin continues to kiss Jason as her hands explore Jason's body more boldly. Robin lifts Jason's shirt up and breaks the kiss just so she could get the shirt over his head. Jason's lips found Robin's again as soon as his shirt was free. He didn't want to stop kissing Robin. Robin moves slightly as she places light kisses on Jason's face, neck, chest. Jason groaned when he felt Robin's wet lips against his stomach. He didn't know how much longer he could control himself. But Robin wouldn't stop. She continues to ravage Jason's body with her lips and mouth. Jason noticed that Robin wasn't shy in bed like she once was. She was more aggressive and in-charge. Jason's tries to clear his thoughts but it wouldn't go away. He pulls back from Robin. Robin looks at Jason puzzled.

Robin: (with confusion in her voice) Jason, what's wrong?

Jason: Nothing.

Robin: Why did you pull back? Did I do something wrong?

Jason: (sees the worries in Robin's eyes, he gently caress her cheeks) No. Robin...I...

Robin: What Jason?

Jason: You're different.

Robin: What do you mean?

Jason: You're not...you're...

Robin: Jason, what are you trying to say?

Jason: I can't help but wonder. We've been apart for a long time. I don't expect that you didn't move on with your life. But I just want to know (Jason stops, not knowing if he's allowed to ask Robin this.)

Robin: Know what Jason?

Jason: I'm not judging you Robin. I just want to know so I'll stop wondering.

Robin: Jason?

Jason: How many...many men have you been with? (He anxiously looks at Robin. He didn't know how Robin was going to react to his question. Robin smiles at Jason.)

Robin: Jason, we weren't together. I didn't think we'd ever get to back together.

Jason: I know. I just need to know.

Robin: Whatever I tell you, you'll be okay with it?

Jason: (he made a face slightly.) Yes.

Robin: There's only been one person I've been with (Jason felt his heart sinking) I love him very much. He taught me to be brave and he didn't care that I was shy in bed.

Jason: Robin, I don't need to know the details about him.

Robin: Why not? It'll help you understand why I've only been with him (Robin sees the pain on Jason's face. Robin couldn't possibly love Jason more than this moment.) Do you want to know his name?

Jason: (he didn't want to know who got to touch Robin's body, he didn't want to know who got to wake up with her, he really didn't want to know anymore) No

Robin: (smiles sweetly at Jason) His name is Morgan, Jason Morgan (Jason looks at Robin. He couldn't believe what she just said.)

Jason: You haven't?

Robin: (seeing the puzzle on Jason's face) No. I never felt for anyone else the way I feel for you.

Jason: Alcazar?

Robin: I didn't love Luis. I couldn't be with him (Jason was so happy to hear Robin say this. He crushed her in to his arms and passionately kiss her.)

Jason: I love you Robin.

Robin: I love you (Jason ardently kiss Robin again. His hands possessively gather Robin closer to him.)

Jason: I can't get enough of you Robin. I want you so much.

Robin: I want you Jason (Robin pulls back a little and starts to unbutton her shirt. Jason's eyes follow Robin's fingers. Jason tenderly moves Robin's hands away as he finishes the rest of the buttons. Jason softly moves Robin's shirt away. He leans down and place light feathery kisses on Robin's chest and trails down her stomach.)

Jason: (his voice husky) You are so beautiful Robin (Jason wetly kissed Robin as he removes Robin's shirt completely. Jason then undo Robin's zipper and slowly slides Robin's skirt off. Jason's eyes roam Robin's body as she lies before him in her bra and panties. She was more beautiful than he remembered. Jason hungrily kissed Robin as his hands found Robin's body. She was as soft as he remembered. Jason was going crazy kissing and touching Robin. He needed her. He needed all of her. He didn't know if he could wait anymore.)

Robin: (urgently) Jason, please (Jason deeply looked into Robin's eyes and he understood what Robin was asking of him. Jason quickly removed his pants and grabbed the supply from the drawer. Jason gathers Robin close to him and passionately kisses Robin with all the love in his heart.)

Setting: Jason's apartment, morning after

Jason and Robin had spent the entire night in each other's arms. They made love and then fell asleep in each other's arms. Then Jason would wake and he would start kissing and touching Robin. Robin would be totally aroused by the time she opens her eyes. They would end up making love again. This went on throughout the night. They finally felt asleep in each other's arms, spent. Robin slowly wakes. She smiles when she sees Jason still sleeping. Robin lazily stretches out. Her body felt so good. She didn't think she could ever put it into words. Robin had a big smile on her face when Jason opens his eyes.

Jason: Am I responsible for that smile? (Robin turns to Jason)

Robin: Hi

Jason: Hi. You didn't answer my question.

Robin: You already know the answer. Oh Jason, I wish I could tell you what I'm feeling right now.

Jason: The same way I'm feeling.

Robin: Really? (Jason was surprise that Robin didn't know. Robin has been the only one who's ever completely filled him. Even having her all night, he still wasn't satisfied. He wanted Robin again.)

Jason: I could keep you locked up in my bed to prove it.

Robin: (laughs) You are so funny.

Jason: Are you okay?

Robin: Yes why?

Jason: I was a little rough last night.

Robin: (Robin caresses Jason's face) Jason you were perfect. I wish I didn't have to go to work.

Jason: Then don't.

Robin: I can't do that. I just got my job back.

Jason: Oh yeah.

Robin: Can I borrow your shower?

Jason: I could help you.

Robin: (sees the wicked gleam in Jason's eyes) No thank you. I need to get to work today not tomorrow.

Jason: (feign disappointment) Shot down first thing in the morning.

Robin: Very funny (Robin leans in to sweetly kiss Jason) I'll be back in a minute (Jason smiles as Robin makes her way to the bathroom with the sheet secured around her. She was still his shy Robin. It's hard to believe she's the same woman who made him lose control endlessly last night. She was so giving and loving. Jason can't remember the last time he felt this good. His mind, body and heart were actually happy and calm. Jason puts on his boxers and walks out to the kitchen. He pours some water into a glass and walks back into the bedroom. Robin was stepping out of the bathroom. She stops when she saw Jason standing before her in only his boxers. Robin's eyes travel down Jason's body. Jason could feel himself getting excited just by Robin's look.)

Jason: I don't think you should be looking at me like that if you want to get to work.

Robin: (a little bewildered, she looks into Jason's eyes) What?

Jason: (Jason noticed Robin's eyes were roaming his body again) I'm about ready to take you back in to bed (Robin realizes that she was staring at Jason's body. She mentally shakes herself.)

Robin: I...I wasn't expecting to see you...

Jason: (approaches Robin) to see me in my boxers? (Jason finishes Robin's sentence with a smile. Robin nods slightly. Jason bends down and kisses Robin.) I brought you some water.

Robin: Water?

Jason: (smiles. It made him feel good to see that Robin was so distracted with him.) For your pills.

Robin: (shakes herself mentally) Oh. Thank you (takes the glass from Jason. Jason watches as Robin takes her pills.)

Jason: When do you get out of work?

Robin: 10. But I have to head home afterward. Mom and Mac are supposed to be back tonight (Jason was disappointed that he wasn't going to see Robin tonight.)

Jason: I could come by and pick you up.

Robin: Jason, I don't know about you but I need some sleep. Major sleep.

Jason: You could sleep here.

Robin: You know we wouldn't sleep.

Jason: I promise to be good.

Robin: My body and my heart feel so good. But my mind is really tired. I need sleep. Aren't you tired?

Jason: But I rather be with you.

Robin: I'm not going anywhere Jason.

Jason: We've lost so much time. I just don't want to lose anymore.

Robin: (wraps her arms around Jason's waist) We have all the time in the world to be with each other. But I have a job and you have a job.

Jason: You're right.

Robin: (sees the disappointment on Jason's face) Can I come by tomorrow?

Jason: You don't need to ask.

Robin: (notices that Jason was still distracted. Robin felt that.) I love you Jason Morgan. These last 6 days have been heaven for me.

Jason: Really?

Robin: (smiles) Really. I'll call you tonight.

Jason: Okay (Jason and Robin walk to the door together. He opens the door for Robin. Robin stands on her toes and kissed Jason thoroughly. Jason was surprise by Robin's kiss. Robin saw the surprise on Jason's face.)

Robin: Something to look forward to.

Jason: (groans) Robin (Jason bends down and kiss Robin again) you better go before I really lose my self-control (Robin gives Jason another quick kiss and then leaves. Jason closes the door behind him. He needs a shower, a very cold shower.)

Setting: Sonny's penthouse, later in the day

Sonny was sitting on the sofa reading the paper when Jason walked in.

Sonny: Look who finally shows up?

Jason: Hi Sonny.

Sonny: From the look on your face, you got to Robin on time.

Jason: I did (Jason goes to sit down next to Sonny.)

Sonny: I'm happy for you buddy.

Jason: Thank you.

Sonny: So all the misunderstandings have been cleared up?

Jason: We lost so much time Sonny.

Sonny: You can't think like that. You have the future to look forward to. How's Robin?

Jason: She's happy.

Sonny: Good. Keep her that way.

Jason: I will (Jason looks around the bare penthouse) how are you doing?

Sonny: I'm hanging in there.

Jason: Have you heard from Carly?

Sonny: No.

Jason: What are you going to do when she gets out of jail?

Sonny: I asked Alexis to draw up the divorce papers.

Jason: Sonny, are you sure about this?

Sonny: I can't trust her. She lied to me about Robin.

Jason: But your life isn't based on Robin. You guys almost had a child together.

Sonny: There was never a child.

Jason: What?

Sonny: Carly faked her pregnancy.

Jason: How do you know this?

Sonny: I received a package about a week after the shooting. It was from David Hayward.

Jason: What was it?

Sonny: Details of the arrangement between he and Carly. He had Carly's medical records from Dr. Meadows. Carly was never pregnant and she never had the miscarriage.

Jason: I'm sorry Sonny. I didn't know Carly would go this far.

Sonny: How could I have been so stupid?

Jason: You love Carly.

Sonny: I don't feel anything but hatred for her.

Jason: Is there anything I can do?

Sonny: Everything is done.

Jason: What about the business?

Sonny: We lost the territory here. We still have the casinos.

Jason: Are you okay with this?

Sonny: I don't have a choice. I agreed to it to protect my wife. How was I to know that my wife was a liar?

Jason: I'm really sorry Sonny.

Sonny: Yeah. You know something good did come out of all this.

Jason: What?

Sonny: You and Robin are back together. You look really happy man.

Jason: I can't begin to... (the door opens and in walks Carly. Jason looks at Carly and back at Sonny. Sonny gets up from the sofa.)

Sonny: (stern voice) What are you doing here?

Carly: (weakly) They released me.

Sonny: Why are you here?

Carly: This is my home.

Sonny: (turns to Jason) Can we have some privacy (Jason didn't want to leave) it'll be fine.

Jason: Call me (Jason looks at Carly before he walks out the door.)

Carly: Sonny, please let me explain.

Sonny: What's there to explain?

Carly: We can work this out Sonny. I don't want a divorce.

Sonny: You want? That's all that matters to you isn't it? What Carly wants (raises his voice slightly) I don't care what you want (Carly jumps a little.)

Carly: Please Sonny.

Sonny: You disgust me. I can't even look at you.

Carly: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you.

Sonny: You did more than lie.

Carly: I was desperate Sonny. I wouldn't have hurt Robin. That's why I tried to warn her.

Sonny: (laughs and shakes his head) I can't believe you.

Carly: (confused) I'm telling you the truth.

Sonny: Do you even know what the truth is? You lied to the cops, you lied to Jason, you lied to me. Are you even honest to yourself?

Carly: I promise you Sonny I'll never lie to you about anything ever again.

Sonny: There are no more secrets between us?

Carly: No, you know everything.

Sonny: (couldn't control himself anymore) Bullshit! (Carly was startled) You're lying right now.

Carly: (with tears in her eyes) I'm not Sonny. Please believe me.

Sonny: I know everything Carly. Everything!

Carly: (puzzled) What do you mean?

Sonny: I received a very interesting package from David Hayward after his death (Carly shakes her head) it was very informative.

Carly: Everything I did was for us, you and me Sonny.

Sonny: You did it for yourself.

Carly: You can't believe that. You wanted a child and I did everything I could to give you a child.

Sonny: Including making me mourn for a child that never was? (Carly was shocked and speechless.) ANSWER ME!

Carly: (tears running down her face) Sonny...I...I

Sonny: You what? You didn't think I would ever find out? You thought that I love you so much that I could overlook this?

Carly: Let me explain.

Sonny: NO! I'm tired of your explanation. There's nothing you could say that I want to hear.

Carly: (her voice pleading) Please Sonny.

Sonny: I should have known that I couldn't trust you. You are nothing but the trash that I thought you were. I've lost my best friend, my business, my dignity because of your lies and schemes. But I'm done with you. I don't want to see you or hear from you after today.

Carly: No Sonny. You don't mean that.

Sonny: The things that you came with have been moved to Bobbie's.

Carly: Sonny, don't do this. I love you.

Sonny: Your love is poison. Get out (Carly shakes her head at Sonny) I said get out! (Carly continues to stand there) JOHNNY! (Johnny walks in) Escort Ms. Roberts out. If she steps anywhere near this property again, have her arrested for trespassing (Sonny walks away and toward the window.)

Carly: Please Sonny (but Sonny doesn't acknowledge her.)

Johnny: (softly) Let me walk you out (Carly looks again at Sonny. Johnny leads her out.)

Setting: Mac's house

It was a rough day at GH for Robin. She had 2 emergency surgeries and loads of new patients to see. She was so busy she didn't even think of Jason once. Robin tiredly opens the door. She smiles when she saw Mac and Anna on the sofa together.

Anna: Hello darling (Anna goes to hug Robin)

Robin: Hi.

Mac: Hi (Mac gives her a hug also) you look tired.

Robin: It was a hectic day at GH. How was your trip?

Anna: Very eventful.

Mac: But we hear from Aidan that there were more excitements back here.

Robin: (smiles) What did Aidan say?

Anna: He said to ask you.

Mac: What's with all the boxes?

Robin: It's a long story.

Mac: We're not going anywhere.

Robin: (bites her lower lips) Jason and I are back together.

Anna: Really? How did this happen?

Robin: We finally straighten out all the misunderstandings (Robin looks at Mac to see his reaction) you're not happy about this are you?

Mac: The only thing I care about is your happiness.

Robin: Jason makes me happy.

Mac: But your past is...

Robin: (interrupts) Is the past. Jason and I have worked out our past a long time ago. We both understood why it didn't workout. I fell in love with Jason for the person his today.

Anna: (smiling at Robin) That's how it should be darling.

Robin: Uncle Mac?

Mac: I still don't think Jason is good enough for you but I support you (Robin smiles and hugs Mac) I love you Robin. I only want the best for you.

Robin: I love you too Uncle Mac.

Mac: Why don't I give you girls some time alone? I'll be upstairs if you need me (Mac walked up the stairs.)

Robin: Mac was actually calm.

Anna: He can see how happy you are. So what happened?

Robin: There were so many misunderstandings. Jason thought I loved Luis and married him and I thought that Jason didn't want me because I bring him too much pain. I should have just trusted in Jason's love for me.

Anna: You do trust Jason?

Robin: I do Mom. He has proven over and over again that he loves me and that I'm important to him. I can't ask for more.

Anna: And the past is resolved?

Robin: Yes. I think it was inevitable that we parted. I was too scared and insecure with our relationship. I knew that Jason loved me but it didn't register to me that Jason was his own person. He had to make his own decisions good or bad.

Anna: And Courtney and Carly?

Robin: Jason hasn't seen Carly. As for Courtney, I was there when Jason told her that he didn't want her friendship.

Anna: That's interesting. I'm glad things are working out for you.

Robin: I am too. So how was vacationing with Mac?

Anna: It was fun. He's different when he doesn't have to be in charge all the time.

Robin: (finds the observation interesting) Really?

Anna: Yes. He loves you to death.

Robin: I know. This is great. You guys didn't kill each other during your vacation. That's a very good sign (Robin said smiling.)

Anna: Of what?

Robin: You know what they say, if you can survive a vacation and still stay together you can survive anything.

Anna: Oh?

Robin: This could be interesting (Anna looks at Robin oddly.)

Setting: Brenda's office

Brenda looks up from her desk to see Robin walking in.

Brenda: Do I know you?

Robin: I'm sorry I haven't called (she goes to hug Brenda.)

Brenda: I take it everything worked out?

Robin: Yes.

Brenda: I haven't seen you in almost 2 weeks. Did Jason lock you up at his place?

Robin: I've kind of split my time between the hospital and Jason's place.

Brenda: I see.

Robin: Brenda!

Brenda: (laughs) I'm messing with you. You look happy.

Robin: You have no idea.

Brenda: You look perky also. What did you guys do all cooped up at his place?

Robin:(blushes) Brenda!

Brenda: Robin, I'm a married woman now. I strive on other people's lives.

Robin: Oh like Jax doesn't keep you occupied.

Brenda: That's different. I'm waiting.

Robin: Brenda...oh fine. Jason has been incredible. It feels so different to be with him now. Everything is so different and new.

Brenda: Ah...young love.

Setting: Construction site

Julia couldn't help looking at Jason. He seems to almost be a different person. Jason caught Julia looking at him.

Jason: Is something wrong?

Julia: I was just noticing how different you are.

Jason: What do you mean?

Julia: Well you're a lot calmer and happy. Robin is good for you.

Jason: Yes.

Julia: You know we're ahead of schedule so if you want to take a few days off, I don't mind.

Jason: Robin has to work.

Julia: She can ask for a couple of days off.

Jason: Yeah but I don't want to push Robin. She has a lot to deal with.

Julia: (smiles) You're a very sweet boyfriend.

Jason: Sweet? (Julia laughs at the look on Jason's face.)

Setting: Kelly's

After leaving Brenda, Robin decided to go pick up some lunch at Kelly's. Robin sees Emily and Liz at the counter talking. She walks toward them.

Robin: Hi you 2.

Emily: Robin! (Emily hugs Robin) where have you been?

Robin: Working.

Liz: That's not what I've heard.

Robin: And at Jason's.

Liz: (laughs) That's what I heard.

Emily: We miss you.

Robin: I miss you guys too. It just seems like I have no time to see anyone now.

Liz: Well you have Jason now. We understand he's a handful.

Robin: Elizabeth!

Liz: What? Are you here to eat?

Robin: I wanted to pick up some stuff to go.

Liz: The usual?

Robin: (smiles) Times 2.

Liz: Okay (goes to the kitchen)

Emily: You look great.

Robin: I feel great Emily.

Emily: How's Jason?

Robin: Happy.

Emily: I figure so.

Liz: What? (Coming back out from the kitchen)

Emily: Jason being on cloud 9.

Liz: That's a no brainer (Liz sees Courtney and Carly walking in together) I see 2 people who are definitely not on cloud 9 (Emily and Robin turn to look in direction of Courtney and Carly. Courtney and Carly give the 3 girls dirty looks.)

Emily: Trash tends to stick with each other.

Robin: You guys be nice.

Liz: I don't know how you can't hate them Robin.

Robin: I feel sorry for them. Carly lost everything even her own child. And Courtney lost probably the only friend she ever made in this town.

Emily: I can't feel pity for either one of them.

Carly: Look at them. They think they're so mighty. I want to scratch their eyes out.

Courtney: They have everyone in this town believing they're angels.

Carly: That's the furthest from the truth.

Liz: What can I get you?

Carly: (gives Liz a nasty look) You think you've won don't you?

Liz: Excuse me?

Carly: Don't take that tone with me missy.

Liz: A little paranoid aren't we? What do you want to eat?

Courtney: Just bring us 2 chef salads and ice teas.

Liz: Coming right up (Liz walks off.)

Courtney: I really hate her.

Carly: I don't see what Jason ever saw in her or that Saint.

Liz: (comes out from the kitchen with Robin's food) Here you go.

Robin: Thanks. I'll call you so we can do lunch or something.

Emily: Okay.

Liz: Say hi to Jason for us.

Robin: I will (Robin takes the bag and walks to the door but Carly stopped her.) Get out of my way.

Carly: You think you can ruin my life and get away with it?

Robin: Your life? You wouldn't have a life if it weren't for me.

Carly: Why did you have to come back here?

Robin: To make your life miserable of course (Liz and Emily laugh, standing behind Robin) I couldn't possibly have anything else to do.

Carly: You are as snooty as ever.

Robin: And you are wasting my time as always. Get out of my way. I won't say it again.

Courtney: (chimes in) Or what? You'll call Jason to protect you?

Robin: (turns to Courtney) I don't need anyone to protect me.

Courtney: It didn't seem like it when Jason took that bullet for you.

Robin: I didn't ask Jason to. He did it on his own. Too bad no one ever did anything for you.

Courtney: I could have made Jason happy. All you'll ever bring him is pain.

Sonny: COURTNEY! (Courtney and Carly quickly turn to see Sonny standing at the door.) Do you know what you're even saying?

Courtney: Sonny, I didn't know you were there.

Sonny: Who's been feeding you these lies?

Courtney: Sonny...

Sonny: Let me guess (Sonny glares at Carly. Carly tries to hold her ground.) Trash coming from trash is still trash Courtney (Carly was startled that Sonny called her trash in front of everyone.)

Carly: Sonny.

Sonny: (without looking at Carly) I don't talk to trash (Robin could see that the situation was getting out of hand.)

Robin: Sonny, it was just a misunderstanding.

Sonny: Not from what I heard.

Robin: I'm fine Sonny.

Sonny: No. I will not tolerate this. Courtney, I'm ashamed that you could say something like that. You know nothing of Robin.

Courtney: I know all I need to know.

Sonny: Then you're wrong. I want you to apologize to Robin.

Robin: Sonny, it's not necessary (Courtney doesn't say anything. Carly was still in shock. Emily and Liz were trying not to laugh.)

Sonny: (raises his voice) Courtney! (Which caused Courtney to jump a little.)

Courtney: I apologize. I was out of line.

Robin: Thank you. I have to go.

Sonny: I'll walk you out Robin (Robin and Sonny leave. Emily and Liz burst into laughter as soon as the door closes. Carly and Courtney look nastily at Emily and Liz.)

Emily: Where's my videocamera when I need it? (Still laughing)

Liz: I thought I was going to pee in my pants. Sonny even scared the hell out of me (trying to stop laughing. Carly and Courtney continue to look at Emily and Liz. But Liz and Emily didn't pay any attention. They were still laughing. Angrily, Carly and Courtney walked out. Emily and Liz looked at door and noticed that Carly and Courtney left without a word. The burst into another fit of laughter.)

Setting: Construction site

Robin was feeling a little weird after the encounter at Kelly's. She hasn't fully comprehended everything in her head. She didn't expect Sonny to make Courtney apologize. Robin thought she heard it wrong. Robin shakes her head before she opens the trailer door. She smiles when she saw Julia and Jason at their own desk working.

Robin: Hi.

Jason: (smiles) Robin. What are you doing here? (Jason walks around his desk toward Robin. He gives her a quick kiss.)

Robin: I brought you lunch. Hi Julia.

Julia: Hi Robin. How's work?

Robin: Busy. Am I disturbing you?

Julia: Not at all. I need a break anyway (reaches for her purse.)

Robin: You don't have to leave.

Julia: My stomach is yelling at me to feed it (Julia gives Robin a hug) it's good to see you.

Robin: You too.

Julia: I'll see you later.

Robin: Okay (watches the door close behind Julia) I really didn't mean for her to leave.

Jason: I don't mind that Julia is gone. This is a surprise.

Robin: I have to work tonight so I thought we could have lunch together.

Jason: (disappointed that he wasn't going to see Robin tonight) All night?

Robin: I don't get off until the next morning. Are you hungry?

Jason: Yes. What did you bring?

Robin: Your favorite (Jason eyes lights up. But before Jason dived into his food, he gathered Robin into his arms and fervently kissed her. Robin was out of breath when Jason finally releases her.) You don't play fair.

Jason: (smiles wickedly) I never said I did. Let's eat (Robin sat down to eat her food with Jason. But she could still feel Jason's lips on her. Her body was throbbing for Jason. Jason noticed that Robin wasn't eating.) You don't like your food?

Robin: What?

Jason: You're not hungry? (Robin looks at Jason and eyes travel to Jason's mouth. Robin licks her lips, still tasting Jason. Jason didn't understand why Robin was looking at him so weirdly. Jason puts his cheeseburger down.) Robin? (Robin couldn't stop looking at Jason's mouth. It was causing havoc to her body. Robin got up and goes to sit on Jason's lap. She urgently takes Jason's mouth in hers. Jason was caught off-guard by Robin's kiss. It was so unexpected. Robin was kissing him with so much passion and urgency. He could feel himself wanting her.)

Robin: Jason I want you (she said before going back to kiss Jason again.)

Jason: Robin I want you too (he shifted Robin so she was pressed tighter to him) I want you so much (Jason ravaged Robin's mouth. His hands molded Robin's body to his.) I can't stop Robin (Jason continues to kiss Robin. He didn't know how much more he could handle with Robin sitting on him and moving her body against his. Jason stops kissing Robin and leans his head against hers. Jason tries to control his breathing.) God Robin, do you know what you do to me?

Robin: The same that you do me.

Jason: I'm so close to making love to you right here right now.

Robin: I know. I want you too.

Jason: Will you come back to my place after your shift?

Robin: (smiles) Yes (Robin wraps her arms around Jason's neck. She tries to steady the beating of her heart. Robin can feel the frantic beating of Jason's heart against her body.) I've never felt this before Jason.

Jason: (tightly holds Robin in his arms) I haven't either.

Robin: (Robin pulls back and looks into Jason's eyes) Just watching you speak makes me want you. How is that possible?

Jason: I don't know.

Robin: Do you think it'll go away?

Jason: I don't think so. I've wanted you since I saw you at the Quartermaine mansion.

Robin: Really?

Jason: And I've wanted you more and more everyday. I have this urgent need to be with you. The more we make love the more I want you (Jason sees the blush creeping on Robin's face. Robin buries her face in Jason's shoulder.) I can't stand being apart from you Robin.

Robin: Jason.

Jason: Am I scaring you Robin? (Robin shakes her head against Jason's neck) I never want to scare you Robin.

Robin: (pulls back to look at Jason) You're not. You make me feel so wanted (Robin leans in to kiss Jason softly) I love you Jason.

The next several weeks passed quickly for Jason and Robin. They spend all their spare time together. Brenda actually complained to Robin about it. But Brenda understood Robin want to spend time with Jason. Robin was spreading herself thin between GH, Deception, Jason, and Anna. Robin felt bad about not spending enough time with Anna. Jason on the other hand was happy as could be. The building was coming along great. They were on schedule to finish end of December. Julia was thrilled with the progress. She approached Jason with the offer to work for Barrett Enterprises. Jason excitedly accepted. Jason was also spending more time with Sonny.

Sonny: So things are good with you and Robin?

Jason: (smiling softly) Yes I have so much to learn about Robin.

Sonny: What do you mean?

Jason: The years apart have changed Robin. She's more confident but she's still shy about certain things. She likes things now that she didn't like before.

Sonny: You've changed too Jason.

Jason: That's what Robin said. She said I still surprise her though.

Sonny: How?

Jason: She said I'm more affectionate. I just can't help it Sonny. I miss her when she's not with me. And when she is with me I want to be close to her. I can't get close enough to her.

Sonny: (smiles) Man, you have it bad.

Jason: It's been over a month since we've been together and it still feels new.

Sonny: That's a good sign.

Jason: You don't think I'm pushing Robin?

Sonny: It doesn't sound like it.

Jason: I want to ask Robin to move in with me. I hate that she has to leave in the middle of the night. I know she's trying to divide time between GH, Deception, Anna, friends and me. I just want to make it easier for her.

Sonny: Did you tell Robin this?

Jason: I wanted to see what you think.

Sonny: I think it's a good idea (there's a knock at the door.)

Jason: It's Robin (Jason goes to open the door. He smiles brightly.) Hi (he leans down to kiss Robin.)

Robin: Hi (Robin walks in) Hi Sonny.

Sonny: Hi Sweetheart.

Robin: Am I interrupting?

Sonny: Not at all. We're just talking. How's work?

Robin: Busy (goes to sit down next to Sonny) How are you?

Sonny: I'm hanging in there.

Robin: I saw Michael yesterday at GH. He couldn't stop talking about his train set.

Sonny: (smiling) He likes the train set.

Robin: He was especially loud about who gave it to him. He's so cute.

Sonny: Why was Michael at GH?

Robin: A checkup. He's starting at a new school.

Sonny: Michael did say something. I better get going.

Robin: You don't have to leave.

Sonny: Yes I do. Do you see the daggers coming from Jason's direction?

Robin: (looks over at Jason) Jason.

Jason: What? I didn't do anything.

Sonny: Bye Sweetheart.

Robin: Bye Sonny (she gives Sonny a hug. Jason walks Sonny to the door) Why did your rush Sonny off?

Jason: I didn't (trying to feign innocent. Jason approaches Robin and wraps his arms around Robin's waist.) Where's my kiss?

Robin: You already got one.

Jason: That wasn't a kiss. This is a kiss (Jason leans down and hungrily takes Robin's lips. Jason slants his head to have better access to Robin's mouth. Robin groans Jason's name.) I missed you.

Robin: (smiles) I can see that.

Jason: Are you hungry? I can make you something.

Robin: I had something to eat at Mac's. Have you eaten?

Jason: Yeah. How was your day?

Robin: Busy. Oh before I forget, I have a photo shoot in the city tomorrow. So I'd probably won't see you until the next day.

Jason: You're going to spend the night in the city?

Robin: No.

Jason: Then why won't I see you?

Robin: I don't see how. By the time we get back, it'll probably be late and I have to be at GH early the next day (Robin watches as Jason gets up ands starts pacing) Jason?

Jason: Yes?

Robin: Why are you pacing?

Jason: I'm thinking.

Robin: You don't pace. I do (Jason walks back to Robin and takes her hands in his.)

Jason: Robin I love you.

Robin: (smiles) I love you too.

Jason: I want you to move in here with me (Robin was about to respond but Jason stops her) Before you answer, I know you're trying to divide your time between everything. If you move in here you don't have to leave in the middle of the night. You could get a good night sleep, go to work and still have time to visit your Mom or Mac or Brenda. I want to go to sleep and wake up with you Robin.

Robin: You don't think we're rushing things?

Jason: I love you Robin. I want to spend time with you without stressing you out (it was Jason's turn to watch Robin pace. He couldn't read her.)

Robin: This is a big step Jason.

Jason: I know. We're ready for it.

Robin: (more pacing from Robin. She wanted to say yes. I would be nice to not have to leave Jason in the middle of the night. It would be even nicer to wake up next to Jason.) Yes.

Jason: Yes?

Robin: Yes. I want to live with you Jason (Jason happily walks to Robin and swings her around.)

Jason: Thank you Robin.

Robin: Thank you for inviting me (Robin leans in to kiss Jason.)

Setting: Jason's apartment, a couple of days later

It was moving day for Robin. Everyone was excited to pitch in and help. The girls decided to make a day of out it. They had Aidan, Jax, Nicholas, AJ, Lucky and Jason moving the boxes from Mac's to Jason's. The girls stayed at Jason's and unpacked. They didn't unpack very much. They were too busy gossiping and talking about all what's going on in Port Charles. By the time the guys finished moving all the boxes, the girls had unpacked only 3 boxes.

Jax: How is it possible that we moved all these boxes and you girls unpacked only 3 boxes?

Brenda: Well it's simple honey. It takes longer to unpack then to move (the girls laugh as the guys look on.)

Aidan: You girls have been too busy chitchatting to unpack.

Liz: You expect us to not talk?

Lucky: We expect you to talk and work at the same time.

Liz: Robin's things are fragile. We were being careful.

Nicholas: All Robin has are books and clothes.

Robin: (frowns a little) Hey I have more than books and clothes (Robin make eye contact with Jason. He smiles at her.)

Nicholas: Oh sorry and shoes (it was the guys turn to laugh.)

Emily: Well now that you're here you might as well help us unpack.

Aidan: (shaking his head) Oh no. We've done our part.

Julia: So you're just going to watch us work?

Aidan: No, we're thinking of going to Luke's and throw back some beer.

Tess: You wouldn't.

Jax: This is what happens when you slack off.

Brenda: We didn't slack off. We did work.

Lucky: We'll be at Luke's anxiously waiting for you (AJ and Jason looked at each other briefly.) All of us will be waiting.

Emily: You're just going to leave us here?

Aidan: We think so. Ready boys? (The guys nod their heads while the girls pout. Jason shrugs his shoulders at Robin, she gave him a wobbly smile. The girls watch as the guys leave.)

Brenda: I can't believe they left us here.

Robin: Well we did slack off.

Julia: That's no excuse for them go off.

Brenda: (with gleam in her eyes) Well they're in for a surprise.

Robin: (sensing trouble) What are you planning Brenda?

Brenda: I say we hurry up and unpack and then we'll teach our guys a lesson for going out and leaving us at home.

Emily: I like the sound of that. I have a dress I've been dying to show off.

Liz: You know so do I.

Tess: Sounds like a plan to me.

Robin: I don't like the sound of this.

Brenda: Julia?

Julia: (smiles) I'm game.

Brenda: Then we're set. Chop chop (the girls quicken their pace and start the unpacking. Brenda smiles wickedly.)

Setting: Luke's

The boys are all hanging out at the table drinking beer and talking. Jason actually has a smile on his face. He rather be at home with Robin but this wasn't bad. Luke and Mike of course have also joined the boys. Luke was his usual cheery self, telling stories and jokes.

Luke: You guys have some guts walking out on your women.

Jax: No we did our work. We deserve these beers (the boys agreed.)

Luke: I don't know boys. There might be hell to pay later.

Aidan: There's always hell to pay (the boys laugh.)

Lucky: You think they're done yet?

Aidan: At the rate they were going, they'll be lucky if theyll be done next week (more laughter.)

AJ: How is it that one petite little girl could collect so much stuff? It boggles my mind.

Luke: Jason, you don't want to call and check (the boys all chimed in "no" before Jason could answer) now boys...we don't want Jason to get in trouble with his little lady already. They haven't even have their first night together yet (the boys laugh again.)

Jax: One word of advice...lay some ground rules. Like no girls night unless YOU have something already planned and no throwing away half a beer bottle.

Luke: Decent advice.

Aidan: We know Brenda kicks your ass at home Jax (more laughter but it didn't last long. At the door, Brenda, Julia, Robin, Tess, Emily and Liz came walking in all decked out. They had all the men inside of Luke attention to them. The boys all looked in shock.) Oh.

Luke: (laughing and blowing smoke from his cigar) Boys, meet hell (the boys still had their eyes on the girls. The girls sat at the table not to far away.)

Brenda: (smiling) You think we have their attention?

Emily: I say so.

Brenda: Good.

Robin: Now what?

Brenda: We're here to have a good time. And we will have a good time.

Julia: What are you planning Brenda?

Brenda: (innocently) Nothing.

Liz: I'm rather enjoying this.

Tess: (glances briefly at the boys) Theyre not very interested in their beer anymore.

Brenda: You know what we need?

Robin: What?

Brenda: Champagne. We're here to celebrate and we need champagne to celebrate (Brenda turns toward the boys direction and crooks her finger at Luke.)

Luke: (smiling) Excuse boys. I'm being summoned (Luke get up and walks over to the girls table.) Good evening ladies. May I say you all look very beautiful tonight?

Brenda: Well thank Luke. It's nice to be appreciated.

Luke: Hello Luv (winks at Robin)

Robin: Hi Luke.

Brenda: We're here to celebrate Robin's move and we need champagne. Can we have the best bottle of champagne?

Luke: Champagne? I think I can arrange that.

Brenda: Thank you.

Luke: May I get anything else for you lovely ladies?

Brenda: Just champagne for now. But don't go very far. We might need you again.

Luke: (all smiles) I won't leave your line of sight (he walks off with a big smile)

Aidan: What are they planning over there?

Jax: Just relax. They want us to get riled up.

Lucky: Did you the dress Brenda has on?

Jax: Yes.

Lucky: And you're okay?

Jax: 2 can play the game.

Nicholas: I don't know about this.

Aidan: Jax is right. We need to stick together on this (the boys go back to looking over at the girls table.)

Luke: (comes back with a bottle and glasses) Ladies, your champagne.

Brenda: Do you mind pouring Luke?

Luke: It'll be my pleasure (pours champagne for each of the girls.)

Brenda: Aren't you going to join us?

Luke: It's not girl's night out?

Brenda: Not at all. We're here to celebrate and to have a good time.

Luke: (grins over that the boys) Then I would love to join you (he sits down with a glass in his hand.)

Aidan: That traitor! (Glaring at Luke)

Luke: What shall we drink to?

Brenda: Let's see...to friendship, love, and lessons that need to be learn (the girls and Luke cling their glasses) Luke, kick up the music. Let's get this place jumping (Robin groans inwardly. She couldn't see Jason from where she was sitting. But Jason had a great view of Robin's back. Robin was wearing a halter-top dress where her entire back was exposed. Jason was deciding if he should take the dress off later himself or let Robin undress herself for him. The boys watch as all 5 girls and Luke got up to dance. They had Luke in the center and dancing around him. The girls were drawing quite a lot of attention from the other guests. The boys watched with their mouths hanging open as the girls danced sexily around Luke.)

Nicholas: Don't you think Emily's dress is too short?

Lucky: I don't remember seeing that dress on Liz before.

Nicholas: I can't believe Liz would have that kind of dress in her closet.

Lucky: How long are we supposed to holdout?

Aidan: As long as it takes boys. We have to be strong.

AJ: (frowning) How strong?

Jax: Aidan's right. No matter what they do now, they're still going home with us tonight.

Nicholas: I hope you're right (looks over at Jason) Jason, are you okay?

Jason: (takes a sip of his beer without looking away from Robin) Yeah.

The girls were still on the dance floor dancing with each other and Luke's. The other guests are pretty much watching the show the girls were putting on. Brenda looks over at the boys table a few times and sees the scowl on the boy's face. Brenda smiles. Brenda steps away from the dance floor and approached a man by the bar. The girls look at each wondering what Brenda was doing. Brenda leads the gentleman back to the group. Brenda introduces the gentleman to the girls and Luke. Brenda winks at Julia. Julia hesitates for a few seconds. But she also walks off the dance floor and asks a gentleman to dance. Jax and Aidan weren't too happy. Emily and Liz decided they also needed a dance partner. They also went off to find one. The girls were enjoying themselves tremendously with their new partners. The boys were definitely not happy. Jax gulped down his drink. Aidan asked for another beer. Nicholas and Lucky were looking at each other confused. The music turns to slow tune and the girls paired off with their individual partner. The boys were definitely not happy with this. They all look at Jax. But he was too busy eyeing Brenda. He has the first to walk out to the dance floor. The others follow.

Jax: Excuse me but I think you're dancing with my wife.

Man 1: Of course I am. Brenda here tells me you weren't interested in dancing.

Jax: My wife was wrong (Brenda innocently smiles)

Man 1: Well you shouldn't let your wife go out alone.

Jax: I'll remember that.

Brenda: It was nice meeting you.

Man 1: Bye Brenda (he walks off)

Jax: (wraps his arms around Brenda) What do you think you're doing Brenda?

Brenda: I was just dancing Jax.

Jax: Brenda.

Brenda: Jax.

Jax: Okay, you proved your point.

Brenda: I don't know what you're talking about.

Jax: Yes you do (he bends down to kiss Brenda) you're not allowed out of the house with this dress again.

Brenda: I bought it for you.

Jax: Thank you. Let's get out of here (Brenda and Jax leave together)

Jason makes his way over to Luke and Robin. He taps on Luke's shoulder.

Luke: What is it Jason? Can't you see I'm busy dancing with a pretty lady?

Jason: Robin prefers to dance with me.

Luke: Is that true Luv? (Robin smiles at Luke without saying anything) Fine (Luke walks off.)

Robin: Hi (Jason takes her in his arms)

Jason: Hi

Robin: Are you mad?

Jason: Should I be?

Robin: You don't have any reasons to be.

Jason: Then I'm not (Jason traces his finger along Robin's back. He's been dying to do that since she walked in.) Where did you get this dress?

Robin: Paris. Do you like it?

Jason: Very (Robin sees the change in Jason. She was starting to recognize the look.)

Robin: Do you want to leave? (Jason nods. Jason takes Robin's hand and they head to the door. As they got to the door, Carly and Courtney walked in. The 4 stare at each other.)

Courtney: Hi Jason (Jason looks right through Courtney and continues walking with Robin.)

Carly: Don't worry about him. He'll come around.

Courtney: I don't know. He seems to still be mad.

Carly: Jason doesn't stay mad for long.

Setting: Jason's apartment

Robin finally had a Saturday off. It's around noon and Robin and Jason are still lazily hanging out in bed.

Robin: Moving in with you was a great idea.

Jason: (kisses Robin's shoulder) Yes it is (he lifts the strap off of Robin's shoulder for better access) Robin are you cold?

Robin: (looks at Jason) What?

Jason: Are you cold?

Robin: No. Why?

Jason: You have all these clothes on.

Robin: I'm not use to sleeping without clothes.

Jason: But they get in the way (trying to take off Robin's tank top)

Robin: (laughs) Jason

Jason: What?

Robin: Don't you want to get out of bed?

Jason: I want you out of these clothes.

Robin: Jason.

Jason: What Robin? This thing you have on can't hide your body from me (Robin blushes) I like you naked. I have better access to your body that way.

Robin: (really red from Jason's frankness) I can't hangout in bed naked.

Jason: Why not? I am.

Robin: (blushes even more) I know.

Jason: (leans in to kiss Robin deeply) You are so beautiful when you blush (his hand lifting Robin's tank top up) your skin so soft (more kisses from Jason) I like how it feels against mine (Jason removes Robin's tank top. Robin tries to reach for the sheet to cover herself but Jason stops her.) Look at you Robin you're beautiful. Why do you want to hide from it? (Jason hungrily takes in Robin's nakedness. His fingers softly trail down Robin's chest and stomach.) I want you Robin (Jason ardently kisses Robin. Robin leans into Jason and tightly holds her to him. Jason trails wet kisses down Robin's body. Robin was finding it difficult to lay still. She wanted Jason. Robin pushed Jason on his back and boldly touched Jason's body. Robin leans down and kisses Jason hard. She trails kisses down Jason's chest. Jason buried his fingers in Robin's hair. He wanted to pull Robin up toward him. But Robin wouldn't stop her exploration. Jason felt Robin's soft wet kisses against his stomach. He couldn't control himself anymore. He roughly pulled Robin up to him and buried his mouth into hers. Jason tightly held on to Robin.) I love you Robin.

Several hours later...

Robin and Jason finally made it out of bed and showered. They're hanging out on the sofa reading and munching on food.

Robin: What do you want to do tonight?

Jason: Nothing.

Robin: You don't want to go out?

Jason: You want to go out?

Robin: Jason, the last time we went out was when I moved in. People are starting to talk.

Jason: Let them.

Robin: How about a quick dinner at Kelly's?

Jason: And then we go home right after?

Robin: If you like.

Jason: I like (there's a loud knock at the door. Robin shakes her head at Jason as she gets up to open the door.)

Carly: (gives Robin a dirty look) What are you doing here? Where's Jason? (Carly barges in before Robin can say anything.) Thank god Jason. You're here (Jason was unreadable as he gets up from the sofa.)

Jason: (with a stern voice) What do you want?

Carly: (whining) I need you to talk to Sonny. I can't get through to him. I don't know what to say or do. He looks at me like when he first came back into town.

Jason: Why would you think I'd help you?

Carly: Come on Jason. You've been mad at me long enough. I understand you're with her now.

Jason: Get out!

Carly: What?

Jason: You heard me. Get out!

Carly: Jason. I really need your help.

Jason: I don't care what you need. I don't want to see your face in our home again.

Carly: Come on Jason. How long are you going to hold it against me? I already told you that I've accept that you're with her even though I don't think she's good enough for you. What more do you want? (Robin was watching the scene. It feels the old days again.)

Jason: (raises his voice) Shut up! I don't want to hear anything coming out of your mouth. I'm tired of your lies. I'm glad that Sonny is free from you. I don't want you anywhere near Robin or her family. Do you hear me? (Carly was speechless. She can't believe that Jason was still mad at her.)

Carly: Jase, I'm sorry. I messed up.

Jason: I don't care. I can't stand the sight of you. Get out of our house (Carly wouldn't move) Get out! (Finally Carly starts to walk to the door. She didn't recognize the Jason in front of her. Jason walks to the door and slams it in Carly's face. Robin was shock by the scene. She didn't expect such a violent reaction from Jason. Jason turns to Robin.) I'm sorry that happen.

Robin: Are you okay?

Jason: Why wouldn't I be?

Robin: I don't want you to lose your friend.

Jason: (looks down at Robin) I should have done that a long time ago. I kept hoping Carly would grow up but she won't. I can't keep making excuses for her. And I can't forgive her for hurting you. Carly is no part of our lives any more.

Setting: Luke's

Robin's birthday quickly came. Brenda and Emily talked Jason into throwing Robin a surprise birthday party. Jason wasn't very thrilled about the idea but gave in. Jason was supposed to take Robin to Luke's after work to a romantic dinner.

Jason: You look very nice.

Robin: (smiles at Jason) Thank you. So do you. Thank you for taking me out tonight.

Jason: You're welcome. Ready? (Robin nods and Jason's open the door. Robin jumped when everyone yelled out 'Happy Birthday'. Robin looks over at Jason. Robin was pulled in for hugs and Jason makes his way to the bar.) Hi Luke

Luke: Hi Jason. Robin looks pleasantly surprise.

Jason: She was.

Luke: What can I get you?

Jason: Gin and tonic.

Luke: Coming right up (hands Jason his drink) the gang is all here.

Jason: (watches Robin in the center of everyone. She was wearing a big smile.) Yeah.

Luke: (looking in Jason's direction) She looks happy, real happy.

Jason: Yeah.

The party was halfway through before Jason had a moment with Robin. Every time he approached Robin, she would get pulled away. They were finally on the dance floor together.

Jason: Are you enjoying your party?

Robin: Yes. Thank you for doing this. Are you having a good time at all?

Jason: Yeah.

Robin: (laughs) This is the best party I've had in years.

Jason: I have your present at home.

Robin: You got me a present?

Jason: Of course. What's a birthday without present?

Robin: But you did all of this.

Jason: This is just icing on the cake.

Robin: (smiles sweetly at Jason) You are icing on the cake (Jason leans down to sweetly kiss Robin. At the bar, Carly and Courtney make their way to it. They noticed the gathering of everyone.)

Luke: What are you doing here Caroline?

Carly: You're close for business?

Luke: You're here for a drink or to spoil the party?

Carly: You know Luke I am your niece.

Luke: Something I always try to forget. What can I get you?

Carly: Beer.

Courtney: Same. Everyone seems to be here.

Carly: I see (Carly spots Sonny sitting at the table nursing at drink. She smiles.) This night might be better than we thought.

Courtney: I don't know how you can say that (sees Jason dancing with Robin closely)

Emily: (walking up to bar with Liz) I see the garbage man didn't pick up all the trash.

Liz: I see that (Carly and Courtney eye Emily and Liz) Hi Luke.

Luke: Hello girls. The party looks to be a success. Robin was very surprise.

Liz: Yes she was. It was VERY NICE OF JASON to think of throwing her a party (Courtney and Carly look at Liz)

Emily: Are you going to join us?

Luke: I think I will. Excuse me Caroline, Courtney (Luke walks off with Emily and Liz.)

Carly: God I hate him.

Courtney: It feels weird being here.

Carly: Don't let her get to you. Mike is your father and he works here (Tess and AJ come walking up to the bar. Courtney notices AJ's arm around Tess waist.)

AJ: I didn't know you guys were invited.

Carly: Shut up AJ. It's a public place.

Tess: Obviously.

Carly: What did you say?

Tess: (plasters a fake smile on her face) Why I was agreeing with you.

AJ: Carly is definitely not the person for you to befriend Courtney.

Courtney: (feeling a little stupid) I can choose my own friends AJ.

AJ: Backstabbing friends like Carly you don't need. But then again what do I know about you?

Tess: Let's get to the party AJ. The air is a little stale here (AJ and Tess turn to leave. Courtney was surprise to see that AJ was seeing someone already. Over by Sonny's table, Julia takes a seat next to Sonny. They were talking and laughing. Carly was glaring at them. Sonny whispered something into Julia's ear, which caused her to laugh more. Angrily, Carly stomped toward Sonny.)

Carly: Get away from my husband (Carly demanded. Julia and Sonny look at Carly.)

Julia: Excuse me?

Carly: You heard me, you home wrecker.

Sonny: Carly!

Carly: Sonny, we need to talk?

Sonny: (looks straight through Carly) We have nothing to talk about. You mind? I was in the middle of a conversation.

Carly: Sonny, don't do this. Don't push me away.

Sonny: Luke really has get to rid of the extra trash in this place (Carly was shocked and hurt by Sonny's statement. Sonny went back to speaking to Julia as if Carly wasn't there.) I don't see how you can work in that trailer.

Julia: It's not bad. The building is almost finished (Carly felt stupid standing there being completely ignored by Sonny. She sadly walks back to the bar.)

Courtney: What happened?

Carly: (with unshed tears) Let's get out of here.

Christmas finally arrives. Port Charles has been relatively quiet the last few months. The only stir-up has been Tracy coming back to town with Dylan. Sonny is starting to get his life back together. He's spending more time with Robin and Jason. His divorce to Carly was completed. Carly and Courtney have continued to stay friends. Neither has been successful in gaining friendship with Jason again. Liz and Lucky are going strong. Liz is concentrating on her school and Lucky is busy with Deception. Emily and Nicholas have taken the next step in their relationship. But Emily was still living at the Q mansion and working part-time at ELQ. Julia and Aidan are still going strong. They do tend to butt heads regarding who pays for dinner but it gets workout in bed afterward. Aidan is getting more comfortable with Julia and her wealth. Brenda and Jax seem to still be on their honeymoon. Jax is deliriously happy and is not hungry to buy companies while Brenda was enjoying married life. Jax is very understanding and giving husband. Brenda's time was mostly dedicated to Deception. She wanted to expand Deception to the international market. She also needed to find a new face for Deception. Robin's contract was almost nearing end. She and Lucky have been searching for the new face. Every night, Brenda goes home with a stack of head-shots. One evening, Brenda was looking over some proofs when she had to rush to the bathroom. Brenda came out the bathroom feeling queasy. Anna and Mac are still living at Mac's house. Things are actually slow at the station so they've been spending more time together outside of work. Their relationship was going strong. Anna has kept a close eye on Mac in regards to Jason. Mac has been tempted a few times to jump on Jason's case but Anna stopped him. Jason and Robin are enjoying living together. They haven't been spending a lot of time together because Jason has been busy with trying to finish the building. Robin has taken more responsibility and surgeries at GH. Robin tries to get Jason to have occasional dinners with Mac and Anna. Jason doesn't mind the dinners very much. Mac and Anna usually recall stories of their pasts. Jason was surprise to learn what a bad-boy Mac actually was. This year Christmas was going to be at Mac's. Everyone was coming over for Christmas day dinner.

Setting: Brenda's cottage, early Christmas Eve

Brenda has just gotten back from her doctor's visit. She couldn't seem to shake the upset stomach that she's been having for the last week. Brenda makes her way into the cottage a little dazed. Jax was already at home and reading the newspaper on the sofa.

Jax: Hi. What did the doctor say about your upset stomach?

Brenda: (looks over at Jax) What?

Jax: Your upset stomach. What did the doctor say?

Brenda: Are you ready for this? You better sit down.

Jax: Brenda, I am sitting down.

Brenda: Good cause you need to.

Jax: What?

Brenda: I'm 7 weeks pregnant (Jax looks at Brenda in shock and awe) see I told you, you needed to be sitting down (trying to smile)

Jax: Pregnant?

Brenda: Yes

Jax: 7 weeks?

Brenda: Yes.

Jax: Really? How?

Brenda: (laughs) Well let's see...

Jax: I thought we took precautions.

Brenda: It's not 100% according to Dr. Meadows (Jax gets up from the sofa and goes to Brenda. They look at each other for a second and then Jax scooped Brenda into his arms.)

Jax: I can't believe this.

Brenda: I can't either. I thought I was hearing things.

Jax: (looks at Brenda with concern) Brenda, are you okay with this?

Brenda: I don't know. It's so unexpected.

Jax: Yes. We didn't plan this.

Brenda: Are we ready for this?

Jax: If you are.

Brenda: I'm going to be a mother? (Still finding it difficult to believe)

Jax: (smiles) Yes.

Brenda: Oh my god Jax, I'm going to be a mother (with a small smile)

Jax: And I'm going to be a father.

Brenda: We're going to be parents (quiets for a few seconds) Jax, we're going to have a baby (Brenda smiles bigger) Jax we're going to have a baby (it was finally sinking in for Brenda) a baby Jax (Brenda hugs Jax tightly)

Jax: Are you happy about this?

Brenda: How can I not be? This is what we want.

Jax: Yes (Jax leans down to kiss Brenda tenderly) this is best news you could ever give me.

Brenda: Oh Jax during the whole drive home, I still couldn't believe it. I kept thinking I was in a dream (Brenda smiles) A baby Jax.

Jax: What did Dr. Meadows say?

Brenda: She said I'm perfectly healthy. She has me taking some prenatal vitamins. She wants me to drink milk. She said it's good for the baby. She gave me an appointment to come back in 3 weeks to do a sonogram.

Jax: We'll get to see the baby?

Brenda: Yes (Jax embraces Brenda)

Jax: This is the best present I could ever ask for.

Brenda: Merry Christmas Jax.

Jax: Merry Christmas (Jax smiles with tears in his eyes. He continues to hold Brenda tightly.)

Setting: Jason's apartment

Jason looks around the apartment. He smiles seeing all the decorations that Robin had put in. Even the small tree that Jason brought home had decoration on it. At the bottom of trees were filled with presents. He was never into Christmas except with Robin. Jason remembered back to how he spent last year. But this year was different. It really felt like Christmas. Robin was with him and he had a job that he actually liked. Jason walks over to the dining table. Robin had set the table for dinner. Robin had wanted to spend Christmas Eve at home with just the 2 of them. Jason didn't argue.

Robin: (walking out from the kitchen with a plate of food) Dinner is almost ready (Jason smiles at Robin. Robin had cut her hair recently. She was wearing it shoulder length now. She looks so beautiful.)

Jason: Can I help with anything?

Robin: No. Sit down and pour our drinks. I just need to get one more thing from the kitchen and then we can eat (Robin goes back into the kitchen and Jason sits down.) Okay, we can eat.

Jason: This is a lot of food.

Robin: I know. It's hard to cook for 2 so I was hoping you wouldn't mind eating leftovers tomorrow.

Jason: I don't mind (they start to eat their meal. Jason and Robin talk about all the people they're supposed to visit tomorrow. After an hour or so, they had finished their meal and were sitting by the fireplace.)

Robin: (smiles) I love Christmas.

Jason: I know.

Robin: Did I overdo it with the decorations?

Jason: I like it.

Robin: You never were into Christmas.

Jason: I guess I never understood the fuss. But I'm starting to change my mind.

Robin: I got you a lot of presents (Robin laughs at the look on Jason's face) there's one that I really like for you to open tonight.

Jason: You don't want to wait until tomorrow?

Robin: I can't wait (Robin gets up and goes over to the tree. She retrieves a box and hands it to Jason.)

Jason: (looks at Robin and starts to tear the paper. Jason opens the box and looks at the content.) Does this mean?

Robin: I've put in my application at GH and they've accepted me. I don't have to leave GH after my residency is finish (Jason was so happy. He gathers Robin in his arms.)

Jason: You didn't say anything.

Robin: It wouldn't be a surprise if I did.

Jason: You really want to stay here?

Robin: Yes. You're here, Mom and Mac are here, Brenda, Sonny. Everyone is here. I don't want to leave. Besides GH is one of the top hospitals.

Jason: I don't know what to say.

Robin: How about how glad you are that I'm staying?

Jason: There's no doubt about how glad I am (he smiles) I had hoped that you would stay but I didn't want to pressure you.

Robin: I know you didn't. I made this decision on my own and I made the right decision Jason.

Jason: I have something for you too.

Robin: You do?

Jason: I was going to give it to you tomorrow.

Robin: I can wait.

Jason: No, I want you to have it now (Jason walks to the closet and comes back. He kneels in front of Robin and takes her hands in his.) I know I'm doing this all wrong (Robin smiles at Jason) I can't tell you what these last months have been for me. Sometimes when I wake up and see you lying next to me, I think I'm still dreaming. When I see you smile at me, I feel so lucky to have you with me. I still find it hard to believe that you're here with me. I want to be with you because when I'm not I miss you. I feel empty when you're not next to me.

Robin: Jason, what are you trying to say?

Jason: I love you Robin. I love you more than life itself (Jason hands Robin the small velvet box) Robin will you marry me? (Robin looks at the box in her hand and then at Jason. She was finding it difficult to breath. Robin slowly lifts the lid of the box. Inside was princess cut diamond platinum ring. The stone sparkles at Robin. Tears come to Robin's eyes. Robin looks up at Jason.) Will you marry me Robin?

Robin: Jason...I... (tears roll down Robin's face) I don't know what to say. This is such a surprise.

Jason: (smiles) A good surprise?

Robin: Very good surprise.

Jason: (feeling anxious) Robin? (Robin looks at Jason. She sees the love in his eyes.)

Robin: I love you Jason. I love you with all my heart (Robin tightly embraces Jason as tears flow down her face.)

Jason: Is this a yes? (Robin nods against Jason's neck. Jason pulls back a little and looks at Robin.) I made you cry.

Robin: Only because I'm so happy.

Jason: You are? (Robin nods. Jason leans in to sweetly take Robin's lips. They pull a part a little. Jason takes the ring out the box and slides it on Robin's finger.) It fits.

Robin: (looks at the ring on her finger) It's so beautiful Jason.

Jason: I didn't know if you would rather have the promise ring.

Robin: You still have it?

Jason: Yes.

Robin: You can give me the promise ring on our wedding day.

Jason: (smiles) Okay (Jason takes Robin's hands in his) I promise you Robin, nothing is going to separate us again. I love you and I'll never let you go again.

Robin: I think the past happened for a reason. I was young and you had just gotten your life back. We both had tried to be everything to each other but that wasn't possible. You needed to experience life on your own and I needed to find who I was without you and Stone. The years apart from you was painful, sometimes too painful. But I survived. I found my mom, my career, my love for you and who I am. It was a journey that we needed to take apart but it led us back to each other. We found our ways back to each other Jason. I came back to you and you waited for me.

Jason: (with tears in his eyes) No regrets?

Robin: No regrets

Jason: I love you Robin (Jason tightly embraces Robin) thank you for loving me.

Setting: Mac's house, Christmas Day

Liz, Lucky, Luke, Lulu, Emily, Nicholas, Julia, Aidan, Maxie, Georgie, Felicia, Jax and Brenda have already arrived. They're helping Anna and Mac lay out the food. Robin had to stop by GH for an emergency so she and Jason are late.

Mac: They are coming?

Anna: Yes. Jason called and said they already left GH.

Mac: It's starting to snow.

Brenda: Don't worry Mac. Jason is a very careful driver.

Anna: Why don't we all sit down? (Everyone was just taking their seats when Jason and Robin came walking in bearing gifts.) Hello you 2.

Robin: (hugs Anna) Hi Mom. Sorry we're late.

Mac: (comes to hug Robin) You're right on time (Anna and Jason look at each other with an almost smile. Mac shakes Jason's hand) Merry Christmas Jason.

Jason: (smiles a little) Merry Christmas Mac.

Mac: Come on sit (they make their way to the table and everyone exchanged greetings. Mac smiles. Robin was safe and happy. Anna was sitting right next to him. Mac turns to Anna and squeezed her hand. Anna smiles at Mac. This was the best Christmas in a long time. Suddenly...)

Emily: (loudly) What's that on your finger Robin? (Everyone stops at look at Robin. Robin smiles proudly.)

Brenda: (stands up) Robin Scorpio, did you get engaged and not tell me?

Robin: (looks over at Jason) Jason proposed last night and I've accepted (noise started to erupt from the noise. Everyone got up and made their way over to Robin for hugs and congratulations.)

Mac: That's a nice ring you picked out.

Jason: Mac, I know you have doubts. I promise you I'll spend the rest of my life making Robin happy.

Mac: Don't promise me. Promise Robin that (Robin walks over to Mac and Jason) Hi.

Robin: Hi.

Mac: (he hugs Robin) Congratulations. I'm really happy for you.

Robin: Thank you Uncle Mac (Robin held on to Mac with one hand and she takes Jason's hand with her other hand. Robin smiles between Mac and Jason. Anna came up behind Robin and wraps her arms around Robin. Robin looked at the 3 most important people in her life and smiles.) My life is complete now.

The End
