Chapter 9 ~ I've Got To Fix This
Philip quietly left the hospital in search of Chloe. His intentions were to tell Chloe everything he had heard. He approached Chloe's house and rang the doorbell. A few minutes later, Chloe opened the door with a very large suitcase.
"Not now, Philip."
"Wait Chloe, I have to tell you something."
"It better be important."
"It is, very important."
"Come on in then," Chloe said, stepping out of the way to allow Philip entry into the house.
"Chloe, I think you better sit down for this."
Chloe obeyed and sat down in the nearest chair.
"Chloe, it was all my fault that Brady's the father of the twins."
"But Philip, Mimi cheated on you."
"Only because I couldn't give Mimi what she wanted. I couldn't give Mimi the baby that she wanted, the baby she needed."
"That's still no reason for Brady to cheat on me, Philip."
"He didn't technically cheat on you," Philip said a little uneasily.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that your husband and my wife have been faithful to us. Brady didn't sleep with Mimi."
"What do you mean he didn't sleep with her? Philip, I'm sorry but did you miss something in biology class?"
"I had Niko do some quick detective work for me and he found out that about eight or nine months ago, Mimi went to a clinic where she was artificially inseminated."
"But why wouldn't they just come out and tell us about it? I don't understand."
"I'm not sure. I guess they thought that we wouldn't be okay with it."
"Well, I probably wouldn't have been at first, but Mimi's a great friend, and I would have understood her need for a child."
"Chloe, I overheard them before I left the hospital. They're not gonna give up on us, but I feel that maybe we should forgive them first, and I know the perfect way to do it," Philip said as a sly grin came across his face.

"Can you believe it?" Belle asked as she and Shawn sat in the kitchen eating lunch.
"Believe what?" Shawn asked in between eating.
"Mimi and Brady. What else?"
"Oh, you know they'll work things out with Philip and Chloe. They're meant to be together just like us, and nothing will stand in their way," Shawn said, reaching across the table to place his hand on her's.
"Yeah, I guess so," she smiled, standing up to begin cleaning up the dishes.
"I'll do that," he said, rising and taking the dishes out of her hands and putting them in the sink. "But later," he smiled sheepishly, standing behind her and placing his hands on her stomach. "Right now I just want to be with the most important people in my life, my lovely wife and my daugh..."
"Shawn Douglas Brady, you found out!" Belle exclaimed, turning around and playfully hitting him on the shoulder.
"Oh, and you didn't already know, Miss I'm-buying-everything-in-pink!"
"So, it's mother's intuition."
"Yeah right," Shawn laughed.
"Hey, it's true. I just um... had to get the doctor to confirm it."
"Yeah, father's intuition too, had to get the doctor to confirm it," Shawn smiled, leaning in to kiss Belle. "You know I love you more and more everyday."
"Yeah, how can you not love a gigantic belly?"
"Hey that cute belly of yours is carrying my little girl," Shawn said, kissing her.
"Ooh," Belle jumped as the baby kicked. "I don't think she likes her daddy giving all his attention to her mommy," she laughed.
"Yeah well, I guess we'll just have to spoil her rotten then won't we?" Shawn laughed.

"Your mommy's little angels, you know that?" Mimi smiled as she held her daughter and looked into the incubator where her son lay. "There's your brother, Meredith," Mimi said, holding her up to the window where Francis stood with David. Then she pointed down to the incubator where Matthew lay. He was wide awake and the doctors had told her that he would probably be able to go home sooner than they had thought.
"Mrs. Kiriakis, we need to examine the babies and you need to get some rest," the nurse said, entering the nursery.
"I am a little tired. I'll see you later, my little angels," Mimi said, handing Meredith to the nurse and blowing a kiss towards Matthew.
~~~~~~~~~~
A couple days later, Mimi was released and miraculously, Meredith and Matthew were both declared perfectly healthy and were released to go home with Mimi.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Mommy! Mommy!" David shouted running to Mimi, who was holding Matthew.
"Hey baby! Were you good for Daddy and Francis?"
"Yes, I was. Daddy said I was bestest boy in the whole wide world," David said, taking his mother's free hand and pulling her into the living room. "Look what me and Daddy did!"
Mimi stood in amazement at the sight before her. Philip stood by the fireplace in a room filled with candlelight and roses.
"Come on Papaw Victor. Let's go play in my room," David said as he pulled him away.
Victor and Francis took Matthew, Meredith, and David out of the room, closing the door behind them.
