Subject: Fic - Chaos Part 4

Part 4 Thoughts are done in

Robin's Suite

Robin: (Taken back) Wha, um, what are you doing here?

Jason: (calm but with a slight edge) Can I come in?

Robin: (warily) I don't know; what do you want?

Jason: To talk.

Robin: Fine, come in but not for to long; it's late.

Jason: (nods his head and walks in going over to sit on the sofa, all the while searching for the right thing to say) How come you never told me you had a grandfather?

Robin: You never really asked about my family.

Jason: (he quickly ran out of both small talk and patience so he goes for one of the things he is know for, bluntness) So, what's the deal with you and Jax, didn't take you long to move on.

Robin: (sharply) First off, how is it any of your business what I do? And secondly aren't you living with Carly, you don't see me asking you about that twisted situation, do you? So why don't you just say what you came here to say so I can go to bed.

Jason: (taken back at how much it hurt to be told she was no longer his business, snidely) With Jax?

Robin: (angrily) No, Jason you can't do this, two years ago you never wanted to see my face; now I'm back in town and you’re in my face making assumptions about my life style and choices? If that isn't irony I don't know what is.

Jason: (ignoring her speech) How can you be with Jax?

Robin: (frustrated at his questioning, yells) I’M NOT WITH JAX.

Jason: (confused, not believing her) But he said you two had a daughter together, how are you not with him?

Robin: (calmly) He lied.

Jason: (confused) Why?

Robin: (exasperated) You'll have to ask him.

Jason: (seeing that she’s not lying, he puts his head in is hands, sighing, relieved that she's not with Jax) So you don't have a daughter with Jax, good that's good. (Jason turns his head when he hears small footsteps from the bedroom area, he’s eyes widen when he sees a miniature Robin only with blonde hair walking towards them. He turns to Robin with a confused hurt expression on his face.) (Before he can say anything Robin goes and picks her up.)

Robin: (nervous that Jasmine and Jason are in the same room and still doesn’t know how to tell him that he’s her father, she walks over and picks Jasmine up) Hey Jasy, what are you doing up?

Jasmine: (groggily) I was thirsty, mama.

Robin: (chuckles) Alright, let’s get you some water, (turns to Jason) I’ll be right back.

Jason: (sits there numbly as she leaves the room; thousands of thoughts running through his head, the most hurtful and paralyzing thought being: Robin, his Robin, has a child and it’s not his. He could accept that she move on, even if it was with Jax, but he always believed that if she had a child it would be theirs a piece of their love. Watches as Robin walk back in the room and sits across from him on the sofa) I thought you said you didn’t have a daughter with Jax, why did you lie to me?

Robin: (simply) I don’t have a daughter with Jax, and I never said I did.

Jason: (even more confused) Are you trying to tell me that little girl I just saw walk in here is not your and Jax’s daughter, (sarcastically) what are you babysitting?

Robin: (annoyed by his tone) No, Jason I’m not babysitting, that is my daughter, but her father is not Jax.

Jason: (looks up sharply, just now realizing how old Jasmine looked, looks directly in to Robins eyes) How old is she, Robin?

Robin: (quietly) She’ll be two in May.

Jason: (jumps up and starts pacing around the room) (turns and stares at Robin, calmly but clearly hurt) She’s mine isn’t she, I know you would never cheat on me no matter what was happening, so that means she’s mine and you didn’t tell me. Why didn’t you tell me? (doesn’t wait for her to answer) Is this some sort of revenge because of Michael?

Robin: Yeah, Jason she is our daughter. As for the whole revenge bit, I would never use my daughter like that and you know it, I tried to tell you but you wouldn’t listen. It’s not my fault you couldn’t be bothered to listen.

Jason: (outraged) What do you mean I wouldn’t listen; you never mentioned this subject with me.

Robin: (angrily) What you don’t remember when I call you from Italy about three weeks after I left and you continuously hung-up on me, well let me remind you.

**Flashback**

Giovanni’s Florence Estate

Robin: (sits at a small table on the balcony off her room staring at the river that flows by her grandfather estate, absentmindedly playing with Stone’s ring on her finger, round and round, every so often glancing at the cordless phone on the table. She knows she has to make this call, but for the life of her she can’t pick-up the phone. She turns slightly and watches as Jax sit across from her, distantly) Hey.

Jax: (concerned) Hey, are you alright, you know you can wait to do this. (smiling impishly) He doesn’t even have to know, you could raise her on your own.

Robin: No, I have to try to tell him, even if it’s just of our child interests. I know what it is like to grow up not knowing who your parents are and wondering why they don’t want you.

Jax: (gently) Well the longer you wait, the harder it going to be. Don’t worry, whatever happens I’ll be here and so will Giovanni. I don’t think that man could be happier.

Robin: (smiles for the first time that morning) Yeah, he was delighted when I came to stay with him, I’m the only family he has left and now with the baby on the way he couldn’t be more content. He has already hired a staff to start preparing a nursery and child-proof the mansion. I told him he did have to, that it was too much but he just look at me smiled openly and said “Bella, what the point of working all my life and having all this money if I can’t spend it on my family?” I just smiled and agreed to everything, how could I say no to that?

Jax: (smiling) You couldn’t and he knew you wouldn’t. (seriously) If you want I can sit here while you call him, I’ll be your moral support buddy.

Robin: (touched that he would offer, given that he hates Jason) Thanks, (sighs) well here goes nothing.

Robin picks up the phone and starts dialing the penthouse across from Sonny, as it starts to ring Jax reaches across the table and holds her hand. Robin gives him a smile then turns back to the river when Jason picks up.

Jason: (coolly) Morgan

Robin: (Nervously clears her throat) Jason, it Robin.

Jason: (coldly) Why are you calling me?

Robin: (taken back by his still evident anger towards her) I needed to tell you something.

Jason: (still coldly) I don’t want to hear anymore of your excuses.

Robin: (starting to get angry) Look, I wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important, there’s something I seriously need to tell you.

Jason: (picking up on her anger, and resenting her for everything he might lose to AJ) Listen, you made you choice, you told AJ about Michael and now I’m here fighting to keep him where he belongs, with me and Carly so…

Robin: (interrupts him before he can say anything else) No, he belongs with his parents and that is AJ and Carly, not you, if you never went along with Carly’s shameful lie, you would never be in that position, would you?

Jason: (starting to madder at her, yelling) Michael belongs with me, I’m his father in every way that matters, and AJ doesn’t deserve to be his father, he is a drunk and only wants Michael for his ELQ standing. Now I don’t care what you have to say, I have more important things to do then listen to you and your glowing approval of AJ’s abilities. Don’t call me again!(slams the phone down)

Robin: (shocked, than angered that he hung-up on her, she slams her phone back on the table, yelling at it) You goddamned pig-head arrogant bastard!

Jax: (shocked by Robin language, and trying to lighten the mood) Guess those pregnant hormones are starting to kick in, huh?

Robin: (turns to Jax sharply, still upset by Jason attitude) What?

Jax: (seeing that she’s upset by the call, he smiles gently at her) I always heard about your hormones changing when you’re pregnant, (Robin’s expression lightens slightly) Guess he didn’t want to listen?

Robin: (somberly) No, he’s still angry and not willing to listen, I’ll try back in a couple of days and hopefully than he’ll listen.

Jax: And if he doesn’t?

Robin: Well, if he doesn’t I’ll just raise her it on my own, I don’t need his help.

**End Flashback**

Robin: Later that week I called again and you hung-up after I said my name, so don’t you dare say I didn’t try and tell you. If you weren’t so pig-headed and angry I would have been able to tell you.

Jason: (sitting there numbly in shock, because he did remember that conversion and all the hurtful things he’d said, angry at himself because if he would have just listened he could have been in his daughter’s life from the beginning. He looks over to Robin and says the only thing he can say, quietly) I’m sorry; I don’t know what else to say but I am so sorry.

Robin: (looks him in the eye and can tell he’s not lying) I’m sorry too, look I know you probably have a lot of questions and things you want to talk about, but it’s later and I have some early meetings tomorrow, so do you think we can postpone this until tomorrow?

Jason: (looks closely at her and sees that she is bordering on exhaustion) Yeah that’s fine, when do you want to meet?

Robin: (faintly smiling) Jasmine and I are going to Luke’s around 11:30 to see Luke, then we’re having lunch with Sonny there so lets say around two, since I’m going to be at Luke’s, do you want to meet us there or would you rather meet back here?

Jason: (walking over to the door, with Robin behind him) How bout here so that I can meet my daughter in private (smiles) wow I have a daughter, I didn’t catch her name earlier, what was it?

Robin: (opening the door, smiling) Jasmine Vivian Scorpio.

Jason: (steps out then turns to Robin, dimly hurt) Scorpio, not Morgan?

Robin: (holding on to the door, seeing his hurt expression) I never say it and only family knows, because back in Italy it caused to many questions, but her birth certificate reads Jasmine Vivian Scorpio Morgan, and tomorrow if you want I’ll explain why I named her that, ‘kay?

Jason: (smiling again) Yeah, that would be great, see ya tomorrow. (turns and walks over to the elevators)

Robin: Goodnight (watches as the elevators open Jason steps in and gives her a smile, which she returns as the doors close. As she walks back in she feels as if some kind of weight has been lifted off her shoulders that she wasn’t aware of before. Going into her bedroom and getting ready, she reviews the long day she had with the ELQ Board meeting, Sonny’s questions, and then Jason’s questions, knowing things could have been worse, she blissfully settles into bed hoping tomorrow meetings would all go smoothly as she drifts off to sleep.
