| "Dr. Kiriakis," Nikki buzzed. | |
| "Yes, Nikki." Chloe asked not her attention drawing away from the files she was in the midst of updating, she pressed the call button. | |
| "There's a young man here who says that he needs to speak with you." A hesitant voice said over the intercom. "He says that it's urgent." Chloe frowned she didn't have any appointments today. She had no idea who could possibly want to talk to her. "Do you want me to send him in?" | |
| "Yes, Nikki send him in. Just give me a minute." She clicked the off button on the phone and completed her last thought. Her office door opened, without looking up from the screen she spoke. "Give me just a minute. Have a seat." As she finished updating the last of her files she saved it. Once the computer had finished saving the file she closed it and took off her glasses. Then she turned toward her guest with a pleasant smile in place. As Chloe got her first glimpse at who was sitting before her she gasped and stared at the child; her eyes widen in shock. "Dominic?" She questioned softly. | |
| "My name is Jarod." His blue eyes intently examined every facet of her face as if looking for something. | |
| Chloe gazed upon the child in wonderment. The little boy before her had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, a very familiar shade of blue, her own. And except for his hair color he resembled Dominic in everyway. He couldn't have been more than a year or two older than Dominic. She thought that maybe she was seeing things so she blinked. But when she opened her eyes there he was in the flesh. | |
| His eyes glimmered with an insured knowledge as he gazed upon her fondly, giving a slight nod of the head he said, "I'm your son." | |
