The Perfect Mate
I’ve finally found someone to father my baby, and he couldn’t be more enthusiastic. Damien Spinelli is the perfect genetic match. He’s youthful, kind, compassionate, loyal, and a technical genius. In fact, he possesses all the ideal qualities that I’d like my child to inherit. As soon as I proposed the idea to Spinelli, he jumped at the opportunity to participate. I’ve always wanted my baby’s father to be someone I trust and admire, and Spinelli is that guy. Now that the search is over, I can relax and focus on the next step.

Are you sure about this? Spinelli may have agreed, but he is not emotionally mature enough to realize the magnitude of what you just asked of him. Just hope you haven't opened a can of worms you might regret...

Robin, honestly, I don't think I know what to say except I really hope you think about this decision first before taking any more steps. Spinelli is a nice man, but I honestly don't think this is really what you had in mind.

I really don't think Spinelli is your man. Sure, he may have everything you are looking for but do you really think he could walk away from his child?

I'm tired of your desire to become pregnant and have a child. Your deciding to have a baby while HIV+ should be inspirational and you should interact with your family and use an anonymous donor. This is turning into a disgusting joke.

I love Spinelli, but I think he's a bit young to make this kind of commitment. I'm not sure he knows what he's getting into. I think he's very genuine, and he's a good guy, but you haven't known him that long and have never had any real close moments with him. How do you really know you admire and trust him?

Girl, you have gone and bump your head! No wonder you are having flashes of coming in the hospital as a head trauma.

Really, do you really know this kid and have you thought about his "habits?"

Robin, I think you are on the right track but Spinelli is not the man. You are going to have to make your own decision, of course, but I will say my peace. It is clear that you and Jason have never gotten over one another. The way you look at each other and talk to each other says it all. This is your chance, Robin, to have the family you always wanted. You, Jason and a baby. Don't let it pass you by. He loves you, you just have to make him see that he is not bad for you like he thinks.

Robin, you are beautiful, strong, and independent and SPINELLI IS IN NO WAY A GOOD FIT. He is way too young to father a child. Why not use a donor of someone you don't know? Or better yet, adopt. There are so many kids out there who need someone to love them.

Dear Robin!! Have you completely lost your mind?! Spinelli will not let you raise that child without putting his two cents in. He will be a pain in the neck, well-intended as he might be. SLOW DOWN! What is your rush?! I'm sorry, but Patrick is right, you are on a fast track to disaster!!! Please stop and think. A child is a lifetime experience... you can't take it back, or change your mind. No returns or exchanges. PLEASE STOP NOW WHILE YOU CAN. I know you think it is none of Patrick's business but if not for him, for the baby's sake, stop snd think. We love you. Did you see the look on Jason's face? Even he thinks you're making a huge mistake.

Are you crazy? The kid can't speak coherently and he worships a mobster. This child will also have horrible hair. Stop it. Please.

Good luck! I don't think he will stay out of the baby's life. Like you, he wants everyone to tell the truth even if it hurts someone else.

That's good! I enjoyed watching you and Spinelli together! He's really funny. I also think you should reconsider not asking Jason to donate. He really cares about you and I think it would at least be worth a shot since you guys have so much history.

Girl! I think you asked the wrong man in the room. I love Spinelli, even if I don't always understand him, but you know as well as I do that the man that you have always wanted to be the father of your child is Jason. Why is it that you have enough guts to start to go for what you want but then you chicken out to go all the way?? Spend some time with Jason. That spark between you is still there. I still see it in his eyes every time he looks at you. Mac was wrong, Jason is the BEST thing to happen to you since Stone so why give in so easily when you could have it all? Jason and the baby!

Um, I don't mean to freak out, but ARE YOU FOR REAL, ROBIN? Spinelli? Come on! I love the guy, but, um, no to him being your baby's daddy!
