Thank you so much for feedback and ratings. It's much appreciated.
@stevew I am glad that you enjoying Lucas & Emma's interactions so far.
@Miss Texas 1967 I am glad that you've caught up again.
Good that you loved the Sue Ellen scenes.
You are right about Ann and Bobby. They really need to communicate better since they are drifting apart.
Then as for the timing. To be honest I got confused myself when I wrote it how much time that passed by. I guess that's why it doesn't quite add up.
Good point about how it is better for Christopher that Nicolas is the father than John Ross. You are absolutely right about that one. John Ross would have fought for his son. Nicolas is dead. So yes it's better this way.
Okay on to another update.

Elena felt disgusted when she learnt of the paternity of her baby. It was one thing to know that she’d slept with a married man. It was another thing to know that she had gotten pregnant with his baby. For the life of her she couldn’t understand how it had happened as she had always been careful with using birth control. But the doctor had told her, when he’d confirmed her pregnancy, that her choice of contraception wasn’t the most effective. So after this Elena had vowed to change birth control. Yet she couldn’t wish that her baby had never been born. Since she loved Drew already. But it pained her to know that the man, who was responsible for her brother’s death, was also the one who had fathered her baby.
“And they are absolutely sure that he’s not yours or John Ross?” She was grasping at straws here but she just didn’t want to believe it.
“Yeah the DNA test was conclusive,” Christopher sighed. “Trevino is the father.”
“I’m sorry Christopher,” Elena sobbed.
“For what?”
“Failing you,” Elena cried, as she knew how much Christopher had wanted the baby to be his so it hurt her to see him hurting like this. “I wanted Drew to be yours so badly.”
“I know and I’m not gonna lie to you, it hurts to know that he’s not mine but I love you Elena. So we’ll get through this.”
“You really mean that?”
“I do,” Christopher nodded. “I know our situation is not ideal and I know I’m horrible to say this, especially now when Pamela Rebecca and John Ross might not be able to have kids, but I am glad that he’s Trevino’s and not John Ross.”
Elena looked surprised at him, “You are?”
“Yeah because Trevino is dead,” Christopher explained. “So he can’t take the baby away from us. You know if he had been John Ross’ he would have fought us for custody.”
“I guess,” Elena said.
“So it’s better this way since it means that I can adopt him,” Christopher said.
Elena’s eyes widened, as she hadn’t expected him to make that offer, “You want to adopt my baby?”
“Yeah I love him so I want him to be my son and that way he will be.”
“Oh Christopher I’d love for you to be Drew’s father, but are you absolutely sure you want to do this?”
“Yeah,” Christopher nodded. “I was adopted so I know that genes really doesn’t matter. It is the people who raise you and love you that are the real parents.”
“So you’re really okay with that he’s not yours?”
“Stop saying that he’s not mine,” Christopher insisted. “Since as far as I am concerned he is! Just as much as his little brother or sister will be some day in the future when we have another child.”
Hearing that not only would Christopher stand by her and raise her baby as his own son, he also wanted them to have another child and be a proper family was a huge relief to her. It touched her so much that Elena could feel her eyes tear up.“Oh Christopher, I do love you.”
“I love you too Elena,” Christopher said before he leant forward and kissed away her tears before he gave her a hug. It was at that moment that Elena knew that things were going to be okay after all. Yes she had been heartbroken to learn the paternity of her baby. But she would learn to live with it. Because although she had hated Nicolas Trevino for his involvement in Drew’s death, she had loved Joaquin, who she had grown up with and her baby reminded her of him. He was innocent. So her baby would not pay for the sins of his father and Elena would forgive Joaquin for becoming Nicolas Trevino. She had thought that she would never be able to do that. But she knew now that she had to for her son’s sake or she might end up hating her own son and he deserved better than that. He deserved to have two parents who loved him and thanks to Christopher he would have that. So yes things were going to be alright after all.
