This is a highly emotional time and not the best time to jump into anything. I hope Chloe doesn't have second thoughts once things settle down.

Chloe and Philip can always have a child of their own but seeing Philip propose to Chloe and her saying yes...not bad for a marriage proposal, definitely original

[mae00]

Dang it Philip. With the history between you two, you should know better than to just jump off into a marriage proposal.....of any form.

Holly and Parker are siblings, and are both Daniel's. I'm sure that Nicole would not deprive one of the other. That's not what Daniel would have wanted.

I really liked Philip's sweet proposal.

It was cute when Parker asked for his pizza.

Parker has been waiting patiently for dinner....someone needs to feed this child!

Not sure how I feel about this proposal business...it wasn’t all that long ago that Philip was hiding from the world, after all. Marriage and a family are a pretty big commitment in engaging with other people. Is he actually ready for this? And are they both just emotionally worn down and vulnerable right now?

So many questions....

[tghca]

Plus if Philip proposes to Chloe how will Kate and Victor his parents feel about it? Victor hates Chloe with a passion and Kate hates Chloe even more. Feeling is mutual on Chloe's part because she can't stand Kate or Victor either. They surely don't want Chloe marrying their son and Maggie would approve sure but his parents won't. Is Chloe really ready to be a part of the Kiriakis family? Most of the family Brady, Justin, Sonny, Adrienne, Will, Sonny's brothers, Shawn, Belle, Ciara and Claire would all approve I'm sure.

Chloe Kiriakis has a nice ring to it. I wonder if this means they will move into the Kiriakis Mansion?

Wouldn't it be kind of weird for Philip to marry Chloe considering she used to be married to his brother Lucas and to his nephew Brady as well as to his step brother/godbrother Daniel?

Chloe would make a great Kiriakis wife that's for sure but Philip I know he would make a great stepfather to Parker. What has always bothered me about Philip though is that he's a great father figure to Parker but he can't be a father to his own son, his son with Mimi, Tyler considering he gave Tyler up for adoption.

Chapter 19a


Nicole and Brady were gathering up Holly’s things and getting ready for the journey back to Salem.

“We’ll ship the jumper and playpen to you if you’d like,” Philip said. “They’re brand new and it would be a shame to have them go to waste.” He glanced at Chloe and saw the tears in her eyes. Maybe he shouldn’t have offered.

“Philip’s right,” Chloe said. “Holly loves them, and she should have them.”

Nicole snapped the last snap on Holly’s snuggie and lifted her up off the couch. “That’s very generous. If you’re sure, then yes, we’d love it if you could send it to the Kiriakis Mansion. That’s where we’re staying until we get a place of our own.” Nicole’s lips parted. “Oh, I’m sorry, Philip. I shouldn’t have mentioned that.”

“Look, can we please stop walking on eggshells,” he said, looking at the three adults. “We’re going to be in each other’s lives, so I’d rather we just be straight with each other. We’ll send it to the mansion. End of conversation.”

Parker tugged on Nicole’s sweater. “Where you taking Holly?”

“Oh.” She looked at Chloe and said, “We’re taking her to Salem, sweetie.”

“When you bringing her back?”

Before she had a chance to answer, Chloe got down to eye level with Parker. “They’re not, angel. Holly’s going to be living with Aunt Nicole and Uncle Brady from now on.”

Parker’s lip quivered. “But you’re her Mommy.”

Chloe’s eyes filled with tears. “I’m one of her mommies, but Aunt Nicole is her main mommy and Holly belongs with her.”

“But she’s my sister.” Parker’s lip quivered. “Are you gonna send me away too?”

Chloe’s lips parted and she hugged her son. “No, never. You’re staying with me until you’re at least seventy-five years old.”

Nicole sat down on the sofa holding Holly. “Parker, come here for a second.” Parker approached Nicole. “Holly is your sister and she’ll always be your sister and I want the two of you to be close, so I hope you’ll visit a lot.”

Parker turned and looked at Chloe. “Will we visit a lot?”

“Yes, angel, as often as we can.”

Parker kissed Holly’s head. “Bye Holly. I love you. I’ll call you.”

[doolfan4life]

Poor Parker this has got to be so confusing to him
I hope they do visit each other a lot
I don’t really want Philip to go back to the k mansion though
Maybe they can find a happy medium that suits the children

[André DiMera]

I hope they’re able to visit a lot.

[mae00]

Poor Parker. I knew this was going to confuse him. Hopefully he will still get to see a lot of Holly. I'm wondering if this is a prelude to Philip and Chloe moving back to Salem so that they can be closer to Holly. Or all of them ending up in a different city close to each other.

[tghca]

Philip and Chloe could always move into the mansion because at least that way not only would they be in the same house as Holly but Philip can at least heal his relationship with his father Victor

[heroicmuse]

Parker seems to be taking this very well. I hope it isnt traumatic for him later.

[melly]

Awwwwwwwwww...........

[fluffysmom]

I'm glad that Parker seems to understand and accept the explanation.

Chapter 19b


Parker turned and looked at Chloe. “Will we visit a lot?”

“Yes, angel, as often as we can.”

Parker kissed Holly’s head. “Bye Holly. I love you. I’ll call you.”

Philip stifled a laugh as Nicole said, “Chloe? It sounds like you’re not moving back to Salem. I thought you would be.”

Chloe linked her arm with Philip’s and told Nicole, “This is our home. We’ll definitely visit, but whether we ever move back, that would be Philip’s call.”

Nicole stood up again and approached Chloe. “I want to thank you for taking care of Daniel’s children. I know Xander terrorized you and put you through hell and I’m so sorry you had to go through all that.” She hugged Chloe as Holly wriggled between them. “You take care, okay?”

“You too.” A tear rolled down Chloe’s cheek as she kissed Holly’s cheek. “Take good care of our baby,” she said to Nicole.

“I will. And you,” Nicole said, turning to Philip, “take care of these two … and yourself.”

“I will.”

Patting Philip’s back, Brady said, “Looks like you'll be coming to Salem after all, even if it’s only to visit. I think you'll find it's not as hostile as you think. There are people there who love you. Me included.” He gave Philip a guy hug.

Philip swallowed the lump in his throat as he returned the hug. “Thanks bro. Stay in touch.”

Beep Beep 

“That’s our taxi,” Brady said. “You ready, babe?”

Nicole nodded and followed Brady to the door. Philip stroked Holly’s head as Nicole went by. She turned around in the door and gave Chloe a smile and blew a kiss.

After Philip closed the door, he turned to look at Chloe and Parker. They were still standing next to the sofa. The little boy’s arms were around his mother’s legs and she was stroking his head. Taking a seat on the sofa, she pulled Parker onto her lap and rocked him. “I know, angel. I know, this is hard, but we’ll be alright.” She looked up at Philip. “We have a new family now and we’re going to have a great life.”

Philip joined them on the sofa and put his arm around Chloe. She leaned into him. “For the first time in a very long time,” Philip said, “I feel like that’s a distinct possibility.”

“What is?”

“Just what you said. We’re going to have a great life.”
