Phillip looked at his watch.They had only 20 minutes to get to Tuscany and meet Michelle.Why was she taking so long?He heard footsteps and looked up just as Chloe and Ryan came down.Phillip was in awe.She was beautiful.She had a knee high,slender,black dress.

"Hi Phillip."She flashed a smile.

"Hi Chloe."he said finding his voice.

"Well we should probaly get going.We'll drop Ryan off with Abby and they be on our way."Phillip nodded and they headed out. ********** Chloe and Phillip had been sitting down a few minutes when Michelle came.Phillip stood up and extended his hand.

"Hello Mr.Pablo."The sixty year old man grabbed his hand and shoke it.

"Hello Mr.Kiriakis"he turned and faced Chloe.He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Hello Mrs.Kiriakis."

"Hello Mr.Pablo."She smiled.The old man sat down across from Phillip.**********Chloe arrived at home with Phillip behind her.

"That dinner was the most boring dinner ever."Phillip walked in with Ryan in his arms.

"Well it's business.It's not like I had fun either, but it's my job."Chloe walked over and grabbed Ryan.He looked so peacefully asleep.

"So anyways we have lunch with Mr.Pablo on Wensday and a formal dinner next week."he waited for Chloe to say something,but she was to busy admiring Ryan. "Chloe were you listening?"

"Huh?"

"Did you just hear what I said?"she noded no and he sighed."I said that we have lunch with Mr.Pablo on Wensday and a formal dinner next week."

"That's great.I'll go shopping tomorrow for some clothes."

"That's great.I have to go to Salem place tomorrow so I'll come with you."

"Whatever.If you don't mind I'm tired and I have to put Ryan in his crib so I'll just retire."

"Yeah.Good night."

"Good night."Chloe said as she got up and then shut the door.Philip waited until he thought she was far enough before he opened his drawer.He again pulled out their wedding picture.Why had she done it?Didn't she have everything she needed with him?What had he done wrong?He gave everything any women would want.Where had he gone wrong?Those questions kept spiraling around his head until the clock struck one o'clock.He replaced the picture in the drawer and headed upstairs.He was about to open his door when something pulled him towards Chloe's door.He opened the door slightly,just enough to put his head through.hen he had gotten it in he noticed a peaceful Chloe sleeping with an equaly peaceful Ryan in his crib.They almost looked like a mother and son, if it wasn't for the fact that Ryan was Mimi's son he would have sworn that Ryan was Chloe's son.But that was crazy.Chloe couldn't have children.They had tried so many times in the little time their marriage had lasted and nothing.He took one last look at them and then headed to his room. ***************(Chloe's Dream)

"Mrs.Kirakis your very lucky that you weren't killed when you fell down the stairs."

"Who said I fell.I threw myself down."

"Mrs.Kirakis that wasn't such a smart thing to do.Why would you want to kill yourself?I mean you had things to live for.Your husband's love for example."Chloe only scoffed and sifted in her bed."You also had the love of your child to look foward to."

"Doctor,you're even loonier then me.What child?Philip and I don't have children.I doubt we ever will."

"Your wrong Mrs.Kirakis.You were expecting when you diceded to throw yourself down the stairs."

"Funny doctor.Half the world know that Philip and I can't have children."

"Oh,but you can.We ran some testes.You have always been able to have children.The other tests you must have done were wrong."Chloe sat paralyzed.Her plan to kill herself hadn't worked out for her.They had instead taken the life of her baby.Tears started flowing down Chloe's cheeks.

"Now Mrs.Kirakis you'll have to have some to talk to someone about why you want to kill yourself.Honestly you're our most frequent patcient.you've been here more times in the last two weeks then most my patcients have come in three years.I think you should talk to someone about this."Chloe noded and the doctor left.What had she done?She had killed her child trying to take the easy way out of her marriage to Philip.

"I swear I'll find another way to get out.I promise never to hurt myself over Philip anymore."With this new found detemantion Chloe picked up the phone and called Mimi.

"Belle,we have to talk."

Philip turned yet again in his bed.Again the dream.Once again the moments of that day played in his head. ********** (Philip's Dream) He sat calmy on their bed waiting for Chloe to arrive.He heard a noise and waited for her to come into the bedroom.Chloe opened the door and walked in.

"Hi Philip.I thought you'd be at the office.What are you doing here?"

"Why'd you do it?"Chloe looked at him puzzled.He looked angry.

"What are you talking about Philip?"

"I'm talking about what happened at Salem Place today."

"What happened?"

"Don't act dumb with me,if you can help it."

"Look Philip I'm tired and I'd like to get to bed."She moved foward and he stood up and grabbed her arm.

"You can get to bed,any other place.But not here.Your clothes are packed and by the door.I want you to get out of my house right now."

"Why?"

"Don't act as if nothing happened today.I saw you and your 'lover' kissing at Salem Place.Now I want you to leave my house now."Chloe's eyes looked shocked.

"Philip let me explain."

"I don't want to hear it.You hurt me more then you'll ever know.Jan was right when she said that you cheated on me,but like a fool I believed in you.Today she took me out and there you were kissing another man through the shop window.I should have listened to her fromt he beginning.She was right.You're nothing but a golddigger.I should have never married you."Chloe just looked at him.

"If that's what you want then I'll leave."

"Good.I'll send you the diviorce papers soon.Oh and don't expect me to support you."

"Don't worry.I don't need your money.My father's money is enough for me.You know I really don't care if you saw me.You hurt me more then I hurt you."

"Hurt you?How did I hurt you?"

"Maybe if you took a long look at our marriage then you'd know the answer."With those final words she walked out of his house and out of his life.Philip shot straight up in his bed.There it was, the dream again.After almost two years of Chloe leaving the house he still didn't have answer.That question had been on his mind many restless nights,but he still didn't understand what she meant.How had he hurt her?Now that she was back he was gonna find out what she had meant and exactly why she had kissed HIM. ***********(Chloe's dream again)

"Belle what am I gonna do?"Belle shifted once again in her seat.

"Did you tr to explain to Philip what happened?"

"Yes Belle I tried,but he didn't want to hear it.Not that I care.You,Brady,Meems,and Shawn are the only one's who know why I kissed Him,as Philip said.You also know my other secret,but I don't want you to tell Philip about either.If he doesn't trust me,I don't really care.Our marriage was already on a road to hell.I'm just glad I got out now and not when it's too late.I don't ever want Philip to find out about him."

"But he'll need Philip."

"No he won't.I've got just as much money as Philip.Being a Demire gives me lots of rights."

"But waht about love?"

"He's got me.That's all he'll ever need.I want you to tellt he others.Not a word about this to Philip.I'm leaving town tomorrow on the first flight to anywhere.I'll be fine."

"I'll miss you."Belle got up and gave Chloe a hug.

"I'll miss you too Belle."Chloe's eyes fluttered open.She was sweating.Her dream had been so real.It was like reliving the past again.She looked over at Ryan.He was sleeping peacefuly in his crib.Thank God she had left before Philip had found out the truth.And hopefully he never would.She wanted everything form the past to stay in the past.Everything.
