"Your nephew Brady and his wife are here to see you."

"Send them in."he said without hestiation.Even if his dreams had told him Ryan was his son he had to be sure it was.The looked up to see Brady and Meems in holding a baby.

"Hey Brady."

"Hey uncle Phil.How's it been?"

Chapter 18

Chloe was in the living room playing with Ryan when Philip came home.He stood in the doorway watching her play with their son,the son she had decided to hide from him.Something made Chloe look up to see him.

"Hi Philip."

"Hi Chloe."

"So you ready for dinner?"

"No.We have so guests coming over."

"Really? Who?"

"It's a surprise." as if on cue the doorbell rang."I'll get that."Philip said rushing to answer it.Chloe picked Ryan's toy and put the away.She then picked Ryan up and placed him in his crib.She stood there watching him until Philip called her name.

"They're here."Chloe turned around and froze in place when she saw Brady and

Mimi standing in front of her.'Oh shit!I'm caught!Philip's going to know,what do I do!What do I do!'her mind screamed.Philip looked at Chloe.He knew what she was probally thinking.She was probally trying to find a way out of him finding out about Ryan.

"So are we ready for dinner?" Philip asked.

"Yeah let's go."Brady answered as he made his way to the dinning room,Mimi following him.Philip waited for Chloe to move,but she just stood their dazed.

"Chloe are you alright?"He asked placing an arm around her shoulder.She looked up at him.

"Yeah let's go."she answered as she started to walk away.Philip smiled,she was cracking and before he knew it she would tell him the truth.The dinner was akward.Chloe barely talked and she didn't take her eyes off the floor.Brady and Mimi knew something was happening to make Chloe act like that.And they had a feeling it had something to do with the secret Chloe was hidding form Philip about Ryan.The silence was driving Mimi crazy.

"Okay why the hell are the two of you so quiet?" Mimi asked angerily "Normally you two can't shut up."

"Um Honey that's you.You can't normally shut up."

"Whatever,but something's going on I want to know what it is."

" It's nothing Meems." Chloe said looking up from the floor.

"It is.In all the years I've known you you've never looked down,not even at the prank I pulled at the Last Blast 2001."

"She's right,what's wrong?"Brady asked reaching out and grabbing Chloe's hand.Chloe couldn't hold in any longer and she started telling Brady what was wrong in Italian.Mimi sat listening,Brady had taught her Italian so that she could understand what he singing about in his songs.Philip sat listening too.He wasn't that great in Italian,in fact he had failed it in school,but he still picked up on itty bitty parts of the conversavation.Chloe was telling Brady that she didn't know if she could keep all her secrets from Philip anymore.Brady was trying to talk her into telling him the truth,but she said she would rather do anything then tell Philip the truth or something like that.Then Mimi entered the converation saying something that he didn't understand.Then Chloe stormed out of the room angry.

"What was that?" Philip asked.

"Go talk to her." Brady advised.Philip got up and went after her.
