Our secret affair (Casualty)

Thirty Two

Chloe knew that she and Fletch were working out. They had a child together. And they were making it work for her. Their little Dollie. She knew that it wasn't going to be easy all of the time. But they had to make it work.

She knew how their girl was their whole world. She had changed her life. She had made their lives complete.

Chloe was happy with how her life had been going. She was thrilled that things were good for her. That they were going to be okay.

Their family was working out. Chloe loved it. She loved having Fletch's kids around too. She had a dysfunctional little family. And she loved it.

All she knew was that her life was on the right track. And she was going to make it all work. And she loved it.

Morning came as she woke in bed. Fletch held Dollie in his arms. She smiled. "Morning. Hello my gorgeous girl. Mummy loves you so much," she said as she took her daughter.

Fletch smiled as he looked to the love of his life. He knew that Chloe had made his life better. She had taken on his kids and raised them as her own.

He couldn't have asked for anyone better. Chloe hadn't battered an eyelid. She had raised them as though she had given birth to them.

Fletch smiled. "I love you. I love how you've taken my kids on as your own. You're the love of my life," he said.

"I love you too. And your kids are mine too. I didn't give birth to them. But they're as good as mine," Chloe said as she smiled.

Fletch kissed her lips. He knew Chloe was the love of his life. The door opened and Theo walked in. "Hey little man. You okay?" She asked.

Theo nodded and smiled. He climbed onto the bed and kissed his little sister. "Sister!"

"Yeah buddy."

Chloe went into work. She smiled as she saw Lexi. "Hey. How you doing?" She asked.

Lexi sighed. "Iain has said he's finding it hard that I'm having a baby with Cal. I'm just... I don't know. I feel like it's all too hard. I want to make it work with Iain. But Cal is the father of my child," she said.

"It's awkward babes. But you just have to talk to Iain. And make him see that you're doing things to make life easy for your baby," Chloe told her.

Lexi just nodded. She hated the conflict she was in. Chloe took her hand. "Listen. It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay. You're going to have a baby."

"I know."

Chloe smiled as Fletch walked into the staff room. He smiled and kissed her lips gently. "I can't stop thinking about you," he said as he nibbled on her neck.

"Same. I just think we're meant to be."

Fletch smirked. "You and your Greys Anatomy," he said as he pulled her close. "We're going to do all we can to make this work."

"I know."

But with things seemingly working out well between them, would it last?
