(Scene 1-the setting: the penthouse. Jason and Carly have decided to spend an evening out, but they need to find a sitter for Michael. Jason decides to ask Robin to babysit. He calls her on the phone)
Robin (answering): "Hello?"
Jason: "Hello, Robin? It's me..."
Robin (smiling): "Yeah, I know....What do you want?"
Jason: "Well, Carly's finally out of the psychiatric ward....I was going to take her out to dinner, you know, to try to clear her head a little. She keeps saying the words ‘kill' and ‘Robin' over and over again....I'm not quite sure what it means, but I think she just needs a night out."
Robin: "Oh great. I guess I should break out my bulletproof vest....Anyway, what does this have to do with me?"
Jason: "Well, I need someone to babysit Michael while we're gone. Leticia is off tonight. I'd ask Renaldo, but last time he babysat, he took Michael shopping at ‘Mobsters 'R Us'....I think he should stick with bodyguarding..."
Robin (laughs): "Sounds that way to me too....So, you want ME to babysit? What does Carly think of this?"
Jason: "I...I wasn't going to tell her. I don't know how she'll react....So, will you do it?"
Robin: "Sure. I guess if you're really stuck I could help you out. I do that a lot, help people out..."
Jason: "Yeah, I know. Remember? Anyway, could you be here at about 7:30?"
Robin: "Sure. I'll see you then. Bye."
Jason: "Bye."
(The scene ends)

(Scene 2-the setting: the penthouse. Jason and Carly are about to leave when Robin arrives)
Carly: "What the *$&*@ are you doing here? Jason, what the *$&*@ is she doing here?
Jason: "Ah...she's here to babysit..."
Carly: "Like h&ll she is! No way Jase, over my dead body..."
Robin: "I'm sure that can be arranged..."
(Carly gives Robin a dirty look, and Robin smiles)
Jason: "Wait! Hold it. Now Carly, we need a babysitter, and Robin has taken care of him before. We're going to have a great dinner, and Michael will be just fine."
Carly: "I don't believe you. She's just using you Jase, and you keep falling for it. Man, she's got you snowed..."
Jason: "I told you Carly, never say ANYTHING against Robin. You know I love her..."
(Robin looks at Carly and smiles. Carly is boiling with anger)
Jason: "Let's go. Are you going to be o.k with him Robin?"
Robin: "Yeah, I'll be just fine with him....His 'Little Mobster' magazines are upstairs, right?"
Jason: "Yeah. He loves reading those, especially before his nap. Stories of Al Capone relax him."
Robin: "Ok, have fun! And watch yourself Jason..."
Carly: "Shut up you bitch!"
(Jason and Carly exit the penthouse, and the scene ends with Robin headed upstairs)
***************
(Scene 3-the setting: the penthouse. Robin is sitting on the couch with Michael, talking to him)
Robin: "Hello! Hello Michael! Remember me? Yeah....you're so cute, yes you are! I was with you when that misunderstood Tony Jones took you away from your mommy and daddy! That was your mommy's fault, yeah! She lied to him, he thought he was your daddy, yes he did! But Jason is a good daddy, he loves you so much! And I love you too! But your mommy, I'm not so sure....she's pretty messed up..."
(Robin's phone rings and she answers)
Robin: "Hello?"
Mac: "Robin? It's Mac."
Robin: "Yeah, I figured. What's up?"
Mac: "I need you here. As soon as possible."
Robin: "Is it urgent? I'm babysitting Michael for Jason."
Mac: "Why are you still hanging out with Jason? I thought the two of you were through."
Robin: "I love him Uncle Mac, and he's a good person. He's just misunderstood....
Mac: "Misunderstood? He's a mobster!"
Robin: "That doesn't make him a bad person..."
Mac: "He kills people!"
Robin: "I know, but that's just a part of his job.....What was the reason you called?"
Mac: "I need your help. It's Felicia."
Robin: "What, is there something wrong with Felicia?"
Mac: "I don't want to discuss it over the phone....Can you get here?"
Robin: "Of course! I just need to find someone to babysit Michael for me...I'll be there as soon as I can."
Mac: "Ok, see you soon. Bye."
Robin: "Bye."
(The scene ends)
***************
(Scene 4-the setting: the penthouse. Robin is making phone calls, trying to find a sitter for Michael. She calls Nikolas)
Stefan: "Hello?"
Robin: "Hello Stefan? Is Nikolas home? It's Robin."
Stefan: "Yes, I am aware of to whom I speak. Why do you require to converse with Nikolas?"
Robin: "I need to ask him a question....Actually, it's more like a favor..."
Stefan: "A favor? Of what urgency is this consideration? Nikolas is engaged in a very consequential undertaking at the moment....Shall I leave him notification of your call?"
Robin: "Um, no, that's O.K. Just tell him I called."
Stefan: I will do so. Good evening..."
Robin: "Bye."
(The scene shifts to Wyndemere, where Stefan is standing in front of Laura's portrait)
Stefan: "It is with my deepest regrets that we were interrupted during the course of our interaction my love....What message were you conveying Lasha?"
(The scene shifts back to the penthouse)
Robin: Dammit! Nikolas wasn't home....Maybe I should call Emily. She'll watch Michael."
(Robin dials the phone, and waits for Emily to answer)
Emily: "Hello?"
Robin: "Hi Emily. It's Robin."
Emily: "You stole Nikolas from me! Don't call here again!"
(Emily hangs up the phone. Robin looks confused by Emily's reaction)
Robin: "Hmm, that was weird. First Sarah, now Emily....Well, I am pretty great, they could be jealous of worse....Who can I call now? The only people without plans are Tony, Brenda and Jaxman....Oh man, how do I choose? Tony is a good man, so what if he kidnapped Michael before? That would really show Carly, if I got Tony involved....But Jason would hate me. And Brenda? Well, there have been no tripod sightings lately, but seeing a mob baby might push her over the edge....I guess that just leaves me with one option. Oh man! I can't believe I'm about to do this, but..."
(Robin picks up the phone and begins to dial)
Jaxman: "Hello? Brender?"
Robin: "No Jaxman, it's me, Robin! Where's Brenda?"
Jaxman: "I don't know Row-bin, the last I saw her she was armed and mad as h&ll. I guess she found out that Sonny was back in town."
Robin: "Armed with what? The tripod?"
Jaxman: "I'm afraid so."
Robin: "Oh no, poor Sonny!"
Jaxman: "What do you mean 'poor Sonny'? As far as I'm concerned he deserves whatever is coming to him dammit!"
Robin: "Let's not argue....There was a reason for my call...."
Jaxman: "Yes?"
Robin: "Jason's gonna kill me, but, I need someone to babysit Michael. Mac called me with some emergency....Can you help me out?"
Jaxman: "Of course! I'd love to babysit! I'll be right there!"
(Jaxman hangs up and heads for the penthouse. Robin sits, wondering if she did the right thing. The scene ends)
*****************
(Scene 5-the setting: the penthouse. Robin is awaiting Jaxman's arrival as Jaxman approaches the penthouse door)
Renaldo: "Do you ever learn speedo boy? What is it this time? Did Jason breathe incorrectly? Or maybe he spoke when you didn't want him to..."
Jaxman: "I am not here to cause a problem, even though Jason is always the source of problems in Port Charles." (Renaldo shakes his head) "I am here because Row-bin asked me to come. I will be babysitting Michael."
Renaldo: "Are you serious?"
Jaxman: "Yes dammit! I am Jaxman and I never lie....Unlike you...."
Renaldo: "Excuse me?"
Jaxman: "You heard me dammit! You are a criminal and one day I will make you pay!"
Renaldo: "You are really trying my patience you freak!"
(Robin hears the commotion outside and opens the door to the penthouse)
Robin: "It's ok Renaldo....Besides, if you beat him up, he won't be able to take care of Michael."
Renaldo: "That's true. But I'm warning you, one more smart comment and you'll have to invest in yet another speedo. That's a guarantee."
Jaxman (scared): "Did you hear that Row-bin? He just threatened me dammit!"
Robin: "Just shut up and get in here....I have to get going. Everything you'll need is on the table. Have fun!"
Jaxman: "We will! I bought Michael a little present."
Robin (worried): "Oh no....Well, I'm sure he'll love it, even if Jason won't. Man, he's gonna be so mad at me..."
(Robin exits and the scene ends)
******************
(Scene 6-the setting: The Port Charles Grill. Jason and Carly are sitting at a table, eating dinner)
Jason: "Are you enjoying your meal Carly?" (Carly doesn't respond) "Carly?"
Carly (angrily): "What."
Jason: "Ah, I asked you if you were enjoying your meal....What's, what's wrong? Is the food not good?"
Carly: "I can't believe that you would leave MY son at the penthouse with Robin, all alone. She wants to be his mother, she wants to replace me, I know it!"
Jason: "Ah, but she's not his mother, you are. And you always will be....Where is this coming from?"
Carly: "I just hate that witch, that's all. She's a user Jase! She doesn't love you, and she's not a part of our family..."
Jason: "I warned you Carly, leave Robin out of this. She is perfect and I love her. And if you don't like it, you can leave."
Carly: "Oh, I'm so sorry Jase! Please don't throw me out! Who would I mooch off of? It's not like I ever had a job or any money....It's just that she got that big goof off for kidnapping my son, which forced me to shoot him and made me end up in that place....Sorry, it won't happen again."
Jason: "It better not."
(Carly and Jason continue their dinner, and the scene ends)
*********************
(Scene 7-the setting: the Outback. Robin has just arrived and is met by Mac)
Robin: "Uncle Mac, what is this about?"
Mac: "I was hoping you would help me. It's about Felicia..."
Robin: "What, is she in some kind of trouble? Where is she?"
Mac: "Relax, she's fine..."
Robin: "So why did you call me here?"
Mac: "I was just wondering if you could give me some insight....Why am I not making any moves on Felicia? I mean, I'm a perfectly healthy heterosexual man, and yet I have not once made a move. What do you suppose that means?"
Robin (angry): "Huh? You called me here for THAT? I left Michael alone with Jaxman to come here!"
Mac: "You left Michael....with Jaxman?" (Mac begins to laugh hysterically) "Sorry, but that's funny."
Robin: "Actually, it's not....Jason is going to hate me now. Thanks Uncle Mac....Maybe I'll go back to the penthouse and relieve Jaxman before Carly and Jason get home."
(Robin goes to leave, when she is met by Nikolas Cassadine)
Nikolas: "Robin! You called me earlier?"
Robin: "Yes, but it's not relevant now. I have to go..."
Nikolas: "Wait, I want to tell you more great things about myself, and look at you with these puppy dog eyes of mine. Maybe then you'll leave Jason and be with me..."
(Robin thinks for awhile, and decides to sit down with Nikolas)
Robin: "Well, after what I did tonight, I'm not sure Jason will still want me. So, I'm all yours. Talk away!"
(Robin and Nikolas start to talk and the scene ends)
******************
(Scene 8-the setting: the penthouse. Jaxman is sitting on the couch holding Michael)
Jaxman: "Michael, hello there! You are sleeping so peacefully, one wouldn't know that your parents are nuts, yes they are! Your daddy, he's a criminal, and he's responsible for everything that goes wrong in Port Charles! Yes he is! And your mommy....well, I guess she's a criminal too. She shot that freaky man who kidnapped you the second time. That's right! You were kidnapped twice! And once by your own family! They are really messed up, wait until you meet them....Well, it's time to lay down now..."
(Jaxman puts Michael in his crib, and stands over him. Michael wakes up from his nap, takes one look at Jaxman, and starts crying. Jaxman tries to stop him)
Jaxman: "Oh, stop crying, please! Wait...I know what will make you feel better. You like my speedos? Look at them! They are beautiful! Well, here's a present for you...your very own speedo diaper covers....do you want white with blue polka dots, or red with yellow polka dots?" (Jaxman holds one pair of speedos up with each hand. Michael is still crying) "Dammit! The speedos aren't helping! Maybe I have to put them on him. That will cheer him up. Lady Jane told me that my speedos always made me stop crying when I was a baby. Actually, they still do.....Michael! What colors do you want?" (Michael is still crying) "Dammit! Oh, ok. I'll choose. Here. Red with yellow. Those are my favorite..." (Jaxman puts the diaper cover on but Michael is still crying) "Dammit! Please stop crying! What else can I do? Wait! Pat-A-Cake! Little babies love that game and so do I! Ok, let's play Michael: Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man, bake me a cake as fast as you can. Roll it, pat it and mark it with a ‘M'. Put it in the oven for Michael and me! Yay!!!" (Jaxman claps his hands but Michael is still crying) "Dammit! Dammit! I don't know what else to do!"
(Renaldo, who has heard Michael crying, enters the penthouse)
Renaldo: "I'll take over now."
Jaxman: "No way dammit! I am Jaxman and I will not let someone like you near this baby!"
Renaldo: "Well, Jason is on his way home....Do you really want him to see you here with his son, who won't stop crying? Need I remind you of what happened the last time Jason got angry with you?"
Jaxman: "Fine. I will go....But I will get you one of these days. I am Jaxman dammit!"
(Jaxman exits the penthouse, and the scene ends with Renaldo holding Michael)
*****************
(Scene 9-the setting: the penthouse. Jason and Carly have arrived home from dinner)
Jason: "Renaldo. What are you doing with Michael? Where's Robin?"
Renaldo: "She got called away on an emergency."
Carly: "Great! That means that she wasn't with my baby!" (Jason looks at her) "Oh, Sorry Jase."
Jason: "So you've been taking care of Michael?"
Renaldo: "Not exactly...."
(Renaldo hands Michael to Jason, and Jason looks at him)
Jason: "He's been crying...And what the h&ll is he wearing? Wait, Jaxman was here, wasn't he? He was taking care of Michael?"
Renaldo: "Yeah, I guess Robin couldn't find anyone else."
Carly: "So, you're gonna be mad at Robin for this, right Jase? Please say that you'll be mad at her!"
(Jason stares at Carly, and then looks at Michael)
Jason: "You don't have to wear these anymore." (He takes off the speedo diaper cover) "But the next time Jaxman visits, we'll make him wear them...What do you think Renaldo?"
Renaldo: "Sounds like fun....I'm going to go back to my post now."
Jason: "Thanks Renaldo."
(Jason puts Michael in his crib. He and Carly stand over him)
Michael: "Da!"
Carly: "Jase, I think he's trying to say something! His first word! This is so great!"
Michael: "Da!"
Carly: "I think he's calling you Jase! He's trying to say "Da da!"
(Jason and Carly both smile widely and with pride)
Michael: "Da--mmit! Dammit!"
(Jason gets an angry look on his face)
Jason: "That's it! I'm going to kill that speedo wearing freak!"
**Will Jason get revenge on Jaxman for teaching Michael his first word? Will Jason forgive Robin for asking Jaxman to babysit? Will Michael's second word be 'Row-bin' or 'speedo'? Stay tuned for the next episode of Jaxman and Robin and find out!**
