Chloe's heart skipped a beat, worried that Lucas might say something awkward. She glanced down at the baby in her arms, feeling a swirl of emotions. Mostly, she felt guilt. Despite Linda's outrageous and extreme actions before her passing, in the end, her life was exchanged for another. No matter what, Chloe had resolved to treat Linda's child as her own.
Chloe spoke up, "I should check with my husband to see if he'd be up for being the godfather." Lucas's eyes flickered with disappointment. This godmother talk was just a way to gauge Chloe's feelings about the baby. But Chloe didn’t seem to have any special connection with the child.
"I agree," came Connor's voice from the doorway. Chloe and Lucas turned to see him stroll in with an easygoing demeanor. "Getting a son for free? Who wouldn’t want that?" Connor teased, gently pinching Summer's cheek. "Hey little guy, I'm your godfather now. Be good, and I'll buy you candy."
The baby in Chloe's arms let out a tiny burp, as if in agreement. Connor chuckled, "See, he’s on board too." Chloe laughed, "Careful with the pinching, or he'll start drooling."
Watching them, Lucas felt like they were a picture-perfect family, and it left him feeling hollow inside. The nanny came to take the baby for a bath, and Chloe, intrigued, tagged along.
