Candace made some very good points about Chris being a celeb and a father and all the crap that goes along with that. All that crossed my mind more than once when me and Chris were getting back together.

I kept wondering how his celebrity would affect Lily and Conn. Its one thing for my picture to appear in a tabloid with a lurid headline but they didn't sign up for that. And I can't even imagine what Joe's reaction would be if they suddenly became fodder for the tabloids. Lets just say there's no where safe I could hide.

But Chris always told me he'd protect them every way possible and every time I think about him saying that, I realize I'm starting to soften towards Chris. Really, its up to him if he wants to be part of Mikey's life. Mike is his son, not mine. And the arrangement Chris and Sarah have has worked up to this point, there's no reason it won't keep working.

But in the back of my mind I still wonder what's going to happen if Mikey one day starts asking questions about his 'real' dad. Will finding out about Chris ever be an option for him? Or is he always going to live under the delusion that Chris is merely a friend of the family?

Only time will tell....
