At the wedding, the minister asks for a doctor and half the congregation stands up. Kelly steps forward and takes charge; the crowd is dispersed. Kelly says they can't wait for an ambulance and they commandeer a limo to get Patrick and Robin to the hospital. Anna drives while Patrick, Robin and Kelly are in the back; Robin tells Anna to slow down but she just keeps driving faster!
Anna, Robin, Patrick and Kelly arrive at the hospital; Kelly and Elizabeth takes Robin and Patrick into a delivery room. Kelly sees that the baby's heart rate dropped and says there could be problems. She tells Robin they have to move the baby and asks Patrick to support Robin so they can work quickly. Kelly calls for an O-R but they are booked. Epiphany and Liz look at one another. Kelly leaves to clear a room, just in case they have to do a C-Section there. Patrick tells Robin things will be okay; she has another contraction and screams. The baby becomes more distressed.
The OR at General Hospital is very tense. Anthony's brain is bleeding and Patrick is doing his best to stop it. Matt asks Patrick if he's sorry that he's left his fiancée at the altar to save the life of a criminal. Patrick tells him to focus on the patient, not the clock! Matt notices that Anthony's leg has twitched, but Patrick says that's impossible for a paralyzed man. Leyla asks if they can run tests, but Patrick says that he's going to suture the bleeder, close up and go get married.
That's when Patrick rushes into the church. Robin just smiles and shakes her head when she sees how rumpled he looks in his tux. Maxie insists that they do everything the traditional way and pushes Patrick to the altar and Robin to the back of the aisle. Coleman fixes Patrick's tie, and Mac and Anna each give Robin the classic bittersweet sentiments of parents who are about to lose their only child.
After Mac walks Robin down the aisle, she takes Patrick's hand and listens intently to the priest's words. Then she looks a little puzzled and tries to get her groom's attention. When he finally realizes that she's not going to stop, she says, "I think my water just broke."
Patrick is still at the hospital, much to Epiphany's dismay. He tells Matt that both he and Robin would like him to be at their wedding because they are brothers. Matt reminds him it's a mere technicality in their case, but Patrick says that Noah was absent from both of their childhoods, so they're even. He says they can build on their relationship or not, but he's making the offer. Leyla stops by to wish Patrick every happiness and then he heads to the elevator.
Instead, Johnny and Claudia, along with Anthony on a gurney, get off the elevator and Johnny tells Patrick that he'll pay any amount of money if Patrick will stay and operate on his father. Patrick does a quick evaluation and says that there's blood leaking into Anthony's brain from an aneurysm and he needs immediate surgery. Johnny insists that Patrick put his wedding on hold so that his father can have the best surgeon. Matt overhears, and quietly offers to do the surgery and if another mobster bites the dust, so be it. Patrick learns that the doctor on call is at least twenty minutes away and then announces that he'll do the surgery, with Dr. Hunter assisting. When Matt reminds him that he's supposed to be 'getting shackled to Robin', Patrick says that she'll understand.
In the OR, Matt keeps looking at the clock, but Patrick tells him to focus on the patient. He says that he'll be where he's supposed to be, but first they have to repair the aneurysm. Matt offers to keep the patient stable in case Patrick needs to make a phone call, but Patrick can't be derailed. When he finally finds the bleed, the intensity picks up in an effort to save Anthony's life.
Olivia thinks she's in love when she comes upon Patrick standing next to his racecar out on a street near the hospital. As she lifts the hood to check it out, he explains that he bought it when he finished his residency. He asks if she races, but she says that she finds it more relaxing to fix a car than to race it. She asks if he drove it over here. He says that he wanted to drive it one more time before he gets married and puts it up for sale. Olivia tells him that marriage doesn't have to mean giving up the things that he loves. Patrick says that Robin didn't tell him to quit, but it'll be hard to justify the time with a wife and baby. She expresses her concern that he'll resent his wife down the road and advises him to keep racing. She tells him that if he's grateful for all of his gifts, he'll be happy.
Patrick shows up at the hospital and Matt asks why he isn't at the church. Patrick says that he has time, and explains that Robin was the one who insisted that they send him a wedding invitation. Matt says that he's not coming anyway. Epiphany tells Patrick not to tempt fate and get home and get ready for his wedding. Patrick says that he has time to make rounds first.
