Chapter 2
Britt slammed her phone down on the desk, why wasn't he answering her calls. She had been calling Patrick over and over and his phone kept going to voicemail. Felix walked by and grabbed a file off the pile at the Nurses desk. "Where's your goody goody little friend." She asked him noticing both Sabrina and Patrick had been absent lately.
"Oh I dunno perhaps she went away on a romantic getaway with a certain Dreamboat doctor." He said wanting to rub it in her face.
"I've been calling him and he isn't answering what if something were to happen to me or the baby and I can't get a hold of him."
"Then I would say too bad, so sad." As he walked away with a smirk.
That night she lay in her sleeping bag beside Emma who had turned and cuddled into her side. She glanced over at Patrick who was looking at her overtop Emma's head. "Your so far away," he whispered smiling at her as he stretched his arm out over Emma's head. She reached over and twined her fingers with his and she hoped there would be many more moments just like this one.
The next morning Sabrina woke up to Emma practically on top of her, she must have rolled in her sleep. And Sabrina just lay there not wanting to wake her up, just as Patrick unzipped and entered the tent. He broke into a huge smile when he saw the two of them. "I forgot to warn you about that. Emma likes to hog the bed and tends to roll in her sleep."
"I don't want to wake her."
"It's time to get up anyways. Emma," he said gently shaking her shoulder. She opened her eyes and turned her head to peer up at him.
"Morning daddy," she mumbled sleepily as she sat up.
"You rolled over on Sabrina." He told her.
"Oh sorry Sabrina." She said rubbing her eyes.
"It's alright sweetie. I like when you cuddle with me."
"How would you two like to go fishing today?" He asked the two of them as they crawled out of their sleeping bags.
Patrick grabbed the poles he brought and the box of bait and tackle. "Daddy I don't know how to." Emma said as they waited outside the tent for Sabrina to get dressed.
"It's alright I'll show you what to do. It'll be fun, you'll see." He said stroking her hair.
"Alright I'm all ready to go." Sabrina said as she stepped out of the tent in a pair of shorts and a tank top.
They made their way to the water and Patrick found them a perfect spot. He baited a hook for Emma and showed her how to hold the pole. "Alright now you just wait until a fish tugs on the line and then you'll reel it in. I'll help you with that part alright."
"Ok daddy." She said as she sat on the bank to wait.
"I've never done this before either," Sabrina said as he handed her a pole and she took a seat a little ways down from where Emma was sitting.
A few minutes later Sabrina felt the tug on her line, "Oh I think I got something."
"Yep you definitely caught something, start reeling it in." He said standing beside her. Unfortunately the fish got away before she could reel it in.
They had no luck fishing that day and Emma wanted to do something else so they decided to go for a swim since it was such a nice day. Sabrina wore a two piece bathing suit in bright yellow and Patrick couldn't help but stare, she looked beautiful. The water was cool as they waded in together, "Daddy I want you to throw me in."
He picked her up and gently tossed her into the air, she squealed with glee and then landed in the water. She had always loved when he did that. "Sabrina you need to try its so fun." Emma laughed as she wiped the water out of her eyes.
"Oh sweetie I'm not as small as you."
"Daddy's strong he can lift you," Emma said as she swam over to be tossed in again.
"She's right I can, besides your tiny." He said with a grin and he swam over to her.
"No don't you dare," she said with a laugh.
But he wasn't listening his hands reached out for her waist and he lifted her into his arms. "Don't you dare."
He tossed her when she wasn't expecting it and she came up sputtering water, she could hear both him and Emma laughing. "That wasn't funny." She said splashing the both of them with water. Before long they were in an all out splash war, each taking turns splashing each other and laughing.
When they all tired of swimming they climbed out of the water. Patrick got out first and grabbed some towels they had brought with them. He wrapped one around Emma and then wrapped the other around Sabrina. He rubbed up and down her arms and leaned in to kiss her.
"You two are always kissing," Emma said from behind them. Sabrina and Patrick turned to look at her and laughed.
"That's what people in love do," Patrick told her before realizing her hadn't told Sabrina he loved her yet. He had felt it for a while now but hadn't told her how he felt yet.
"You love me?" Sabrina asked glancing up at him.
"Yes, I love you Sabrina. I guess I've felt that way for a while but I was afraid I would be rushing you if I told you. We've only been dating a little over a month."
"I love you too, Patrick."
"You do?"
"Yes." She said as he pulled her into a hug.
