In His Corner (#286 Change)
Robin knew, or at least she should have known. That’s what she kept telling herself. Things had felt wrong. Not in any obvious fashion but just off enough that her prosecuting lawyer senses tingled. She had ignored them. She chalked them up to her lack of familiarity with babies or even parents. She told herself that the cold that seemed to have seeped into the craftsman was just in her imagination. It was unthinkable, after all, that Charlie and Amita would ever have anything but nerd love between them.
Robin wished on so many levels she was wrong. That she had listed to her instincts. That perhaps she was just a little closer to Charlie. That she didn’t have to witness the Eppes family fall apart.
It had taken hours to get the truth from Don one night before he finally held out his phone and showed her pictures of septic wounds on Charlie’s body. She ended up holding Don that night while his body rattled with warring emotions. She didn’t mention that she’d had bad feelings since before Ada was even born.
The day Amita was arrested Robin made a choice. Don and Alan might have been unsure how to approach Charlie, to regain his trust, but Robin was going to make sure Charlie knew she was in his corner.
She knocked on Colby’s door. He knew she was coming and was quickly let in. She was led into the living room where Ada was rolling on a brightly colored mat. Charlie stood as she approached.
“Robin.”
Robin stepped close and loosely wrapped her arms around Charlie. “I’m sorry.” He went instantly rigid. “I should have known. I should have said something. And I want you to know from here on out I’ll do everything I can to help.”

AN: I was never a big fan of the Don/Robin relationship for various reasons but I refuse to believe that Robin would put up with this kind of shit happening in her family.
