Part 3

"Hi, This is so nice," Said Rosie in a sweet voice. In all honesty she had never felt so loved or so happy in her whole life.

"Mmmm, It sure is. It feels so right to hold you like this. I feel like I just fulfilled something here. Are you happy, Sweetheart?"

Rosie's smile and widened and she replied happily, "Oh yes, very. Um, But Robin don't you want more….I mean…well…you know…I…."

Robin smiled and kissed the cheek next to her, "Shhh, Its ok. Don't I seem happy to you?"

Rosie looked carefully at the older woman and nodded, "Yes, very. I just don't want to disappoint you…"

A long elegant finger covered the girl's lips and she said into a little ear, "You couldn't ever disappoint me. What I want and need is to build a life with you. We are going to do this one step at a time.

Sweetheart, This is a dream come true for me. I've wanted to hold you like this since I first laid eyes on you. Now I have had the privilege of holding you all night long, I'm very happy. The real question in my mind is are you? This is all new to you. Are you happy?" Robin's voice sounded a little scared to Rosie. That surprised her but she knew she could put her at ease at once.

The blonde head nodded against Robin's shoulder as she quietly replied, "Yes, I'm very, very happy. Really the happiest I've ever been. You make me feel even more loved and protected then my parents ever did. I didn't think that was possible. I feel such love for you that I don't ever want to hurt or do something wrong…"

"No, you couldn't do anything to hurt me….except one thing. If you ever leave me it would kill me…"There were tears falling from the beautiful blue eyes. It broke Rosie's heart, she hugged the other woman to her and said with more force then Robin had ever heard from her love, "I'll never leave you. I promise. I will never, ever leave you."

"Thank you, my love. I will never, ever leave you too." Robin replied and she kissed Rosie deeply and passionately with all the love and need in her heart. Something just slipped and she found her self slowly and tenderly making love to the precious woman in her arms. She had tenderly removed the shirt she gave Rosie and was over come with love at the sight of the beautiful body before her. Much to her shock and joy she found herself exposed as Rosie's nimble fingers undid the buttons of her nightshirt revealing her own form to the love of her life. She could see by the now dark green eyes that the smaller woman was pleased with what she saw. There bodies seemed to have knowledge all there own as they made movements that the other couldn't know but the results was that they felt sensational from each caress and taste of the other. They flowed to a climax so naturally together that Robin was startled in her breathless excatasy. Rosie was beyond feeling or acknowledging anything but the fulfillment given to her by her love. In that moment of blissful passion they truly became one.

Robin was in her kitchen in a state of shock. Happy shock, but shock none the less. She was trying to make their breakfast. While Rosie changed to a pair of sweats she leant her so they could eat comfortably before changing to go to work. Those sweats will float on her of course but then she will just look so adorable I will want to…I bet I will want to continue what we started. We did start that, right? It was mutual, wasn't it? Yes, it was…I mean she….I….we….Shit! I can't even think straight….

"Robin?"

Robin looked at her hands she had been apparently buttering the same piece of toast for a while, "Yes?"

Rosie stood next to her looking concerned; She put a hand on the arm buttering the toast. Robin smiled at her and put down the toast and the knife and gathered the smaller woman in her long protective arms. "Never better. I am so happy I can hardly believe it. Um...Are you?"

"Oh yes…I love you so much Robin. Thank you….for well…everything…"

"Thank you too," Robin replied as she kissed her deeply. Then she pulled back and took a deep steadying breath. She smiled into beautiful green eyes and rubbed noses with her, "You know if we keep this up we'll starve to death. I know your hungry and so am I so let me try and get breakfast done." She said as she pulled out of the embrace but she couldn't resist caressing her cheek and tucking some golden hair behind a little ear.

Rosie nodded and smiled, "What can I do to help?"

Robin chuckled at how sweetly she was asked and replied, "Well how are you at setting the table?"

"That I can do very well."

"There's china, napkins and silverware in that cabinet. Get to work, My love."

"Yes, Ma'am"

Robin laughed fully and shook her head, she loved that Rosie was teasing her and breaking out of her shell, "Smart Alec." Rosie smiled and winked at the laughing woman in the kitchen

After breakfast they arrived at the office a little late but very content with life at the moment. They went to there separate offices to get started on their day. Rosie was startled to find a box of flowers on her desk with a note attached. Thinking that it was from Robin she opened it happily. Stunned to find black roses she opened the card, screamed and fainted.

Robin was sitting at her desk going through her avalanche of email when she heard the scream from the office next door. She ran to Rosie's office as quickly as her feet would take her. She opened the door and cried out, "Oh my God, Rosie!!" Rosie was lying on the floor in a dead faint. Scattered about were the black roses and clutched in her still hand was the white card. Robin gently lifted Rosie into her arms and carried her to her office where she settled her comfortably on the couch. She called the company doctor and summoned him to come as quickly as he could to look after the unconscience woman. She took the card and read it, her eyes became enraged as she read the hateful words aimed at the sweetest woman she had ever known. She could barely wait for the doctor, her foot was tapping, and her arms were crossed trying to maintain some sense of calm till her love could be cared for. The doctor came running in moments after his summons to be greeted by the seething CEO. Realizing she was scaring her old friend she said quietly, "Please Stan, take care of her. She had a very bad shock and fainted. Her heartbeat is strong and her pulse is too. I made sure she was comfortable please help her. I need to make sure she is all right before I can really investigate this. I have to call the police."

"What the hell happened, Robin?"

"I can't talk about it yet. Just help her please." She asked that her friend understand. Her eyes were pleading her case since her voice had gone monotone from trying to control her anger. He did and went to work to help the poor young woman on the couch.

Robin went to Rosie's office and locked it, she knew she should of gone sooner but she couldn't leave her love till someone arrived to help her and keep an eye on her. Someone she trusted. She knew Stan from when they were both in college. He was one of her oldest friends he was one of the few people that she really trusted other then her Rosie. Then she went back to her own office and called the police keeping a careful eye as Stan revived the woman. She was almost conscience when she came in but still not really there yet so she kept her eyes focused on her as she spoke to the detectives on the phone. When she saw her stirring and sitting up she rushed to her side.

"Robin…Where are you?"

"I'm here, Sweetheart, I'm here," She replied quietly as she wiped tears that were falling onto pale cheeks.

"What happened? Where am I?" Rosie asked agitated by the haziness that she felt.

"Shh, your ok. Your safe in my office. You had a bad shock and my old friend Doctor Stan here helped you. Don't worry, My love everything is going to be ok. I promise." She gathered the smaller woman in her arms and motioned for Stan to leave the room and close the door behind him.

Once they had some privacy Robin kissed Rosie and rubbed her back tenderly. She murmured into her ear till she felt that smaller woman had calmed down sufficiently. Then she looked into confused scared green eyes and said, "It will be all right, My Rosie. It will I give you my word."

Rosie nodded and put her head on Robin's shoulder asking quietly, "Did you see…I mean did you read what it said…"

Rage and anger filled Robins' blue eyes as she sat up and gently lay Rosie back on the couch. She got up and stormed over to her desk saying, "Yes I did. I am so mad I could kill! I called the police….Oh shit I left him on hold," She exclaimed as she ran to the door. "Stan, could come back in here and check to make sure Rosie is really ok. I need to finish talking to the police?"

The doctor nodded and went to check on Rosie, while Robin returned to her desk to speak to the detective on the other end of the phone. Luckily she was able to catch another old friend who cared about Robin so he was patient with the distraught woman. "Pete are you still there?"

"Yes, Is she ok?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. She needed me. This really shook her up."

"I can understand that. Vindictive Bastard. Did you seal the office?"

"Of course, But I had to wait till Doc Stan got here. It was about 5 minutes and um…Rosie's and my fingerprints are all over the place in there…"

"That's ok those things can be discounted. The five minutes may be a problem but it was such a commotion I doubt the culprit went in there. I'll be there in 10 minutes calm her down so I can talk to her…"

"She will be…Be gentle or I'll…"

"Stop, you know me better then that. I will be. I will see you both in a few minutes."

"Ok, Bye." She said as she hung the phone up quietly. She looked across the room into calm but scared green eyes and then glanced at the doctor. "Stan, I'd like to speak to Rosie privately. Would you wait out side for Pete and explain what you found to him?"

He nodded, patted Rosie on the shoulder as he left closing the door behind him gently.

"I'm so sorry…"

"Why on earth are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong."

"Did you read the card, Sweetheart? This was a threat against you because you're my assistant. Who can you blame for this?"

"The person who wrote it…Why is this happening? Robin, am I such a bad person…."

"No!" Robin ran to Rosie and brought her back into her arms. "This is a really sick person. You did nothing to deserve this. I love you so. I will protect you. I promise. I promise…"

"Ok, Ok…I do know that. Robin what are we going to do?"

Robin was stroking Rosie's hair and said quietly but with such intensity that Rosie felt it to her core. "We're going to stop this maniac. If I get my hands on who ever it is I will kill them myself…"

"No, not for me…Please Robin…Please, My love, I don't want you to do that…I…"

"Shh, No I won't. I'll let the police do their job. Pete is an old friend like Stan I've known him since College. We use to get into trouble together. I can trust him and he will get this ass hole. I need to do something though…"

"Just love me…"

"Oh Rosie, you know that's a given…"

"I know. I love you too."

Robin sat with Rosie beside her on the couch in her office. Robin's arm was protectively around her shoulders holding her close as the detective paced in front of them. He stopped looked into Rosie's honest green eyes and asked, "You can't think of a who could have done this?"

Rosie shook her head and said quietly, "They were all equally….um….?"

"Rotten," Supplied Robin helpfully. Rosie smiled at her gratefully and Robin winked back.

"Is it someone who thought they should have had your new position…?"

"No Pete, I told you her position didn't exist before. In fact, if I hadn't of been trying to figure out how to help her it would never have been created." Robin answered frustrated. It was the fifth time he asked the same question. He just kept changing the wording. This wasn't helping Rosie's peace of mind.

"Well I go check out the scene with my team. Robin you can take her home she looks beat."

Robin looked grateful as she replied, "Thank you. I will." She helped Rosie up and took her to the car and out of the building to the safety of her home.

They were cuddled in Robin's den. She was lying back on her big comfortable couch with Rosie protectively in her arms lying on top of her. Rosie's head was cradled against her neck and her arms were around her stomach. Robin was stroking Rosie's hair she had been trying to calm all her loves new fears all evening long. "Shhh, We will figure this out. We will. I won't let anyone hurt you."

"But why? What did I do so wrong? Am I such a horrible person?"

Robin's finger was against her mouth and she said quietly, "Stop. No more of that. You know the answer as well as I do. You are a sweet wonderful person and they are all jealous…"She bent down and kissed her on the lips till she felt the younger woman relax. Then she straightened her self and looked her in the eyes, in a suddenly deep voice with a comical expression on her face she said, "I wish you would of let me kill the bum. I'd of torn him apart limb from limb…"Laughing Rosie gently slapped Robin on the arm and said, "That's the worst Sylvester Stallone I have ever heard."

Robin was relieved to hear the laughter it was the first time she saw the blonde smile since that morning." I was really going for the character of Rocky, you know "Hey Adrian, please just on more fight…" " Suddenly a beautiful stream of giggles filled the room. It pleased her that she broke Rosie out of the horrible bout of self-disgust that had been pouring out of her mouth since she found the damn flowers. You Son of Bitch! Who ever you are I am going to find you. I will make you wish you were never born. You are going to pay for every bit heartache you are putting my love through. I swear to God that you will be sorry you ever heard of me by the time I am through with you. She thought to her self as she continued to stroke the golden locks sending the exhausted woman into a deep and healing sleep.
