Elena was on her way to the clinic. Elena asked how working with Imani was. Amanda said it was never a dull moment. Imani had a lot of political contacts from working with the family, and according to Amanda, she wasn\u2019t shy about reaching out. Elena joked that this was a shock because Imani was always so timid. Amanda admitted Imani gave her an earful about the last encounter with Elena and Nate. Elena said that Imani was the only one who didn\u2019t seem to be happy Elena and Nate were living together. Amanda asked how Nate was. Elena said that Nate was wonderful, but they were concerned about Devon and the lawsuit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Elena felt for Devon. She said it must break his heart that Abby was acting like he turned on her. Amanda said Devon worried that Abby would never trust him the way she did before all this. Elena understood why Abby was acting so emotionally, because nothing turned out like she planned. First Abby found out she couldn\u2019t carry a child, then she found out Chance couldn\u2019t father a child, then her surrogate was kidnapped, and she was mistakenly told her husband was dead. Amanda said that Abby wasn\u2019t losing a child \u2013 the biological father just wanted weekly visits. Elena said the fear of losing a child was primal; she saw it all the time with families who had sick babies. They were terrified they\u2019d lose their child, and they started acting out. Elena just hoped Dominic came out of this knowing how loved he was. Amanda said everyone wanted a happy ending, but now it was complicated from every angle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mariah ran into Noah on the patio at Crimson Lights. She was pleased when she found out he accepted Nick\u2019s job offer. She saw it as a sign that Noah was committed to staying in Genoa City. He said it was a commitment to seeing how things went. Noah asked if things were okay with Mariah and Tessa; he\u2019d noticed Mariah was stressed last night. Mariah said things were the best they\u2019d ever been with Tessa. She had some friends going through something, and she could see both of their sides. She just had to hope everything worked out. Nick arrived, and he was excited about teaming up with Noah at New Hope. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Noah had been doing research into a movement that turned empty lots into green spaces for the residents. Nick said he\u2019d put Noah in touch with some people who could get him a grant application for that. Tessa came up and pulled Mariah away, saying she needed her help with a meeting with a PR person. Nick started talking to Noah, who wasn\u2019t listening because he was focused on Tessa\u2019s departure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chance you don\u2019t mean that. You can be a good father to Dominic. You already are,\u201d Abby said. They were still at Devon\u2019s penthouse. Devon thanked Chance for his honesty. Devon knew it wasn\u2019t easy to say. He thought they could come up with a solution that would work for everyone. Abby ordered Devon to stop putting undue pressure on Chance, but Chance said he came here on his own. Abby felt that Chance\u2019s decision to reach out was understandable, but a mistake. She said they needed to talk in private. She told Devon they\u2019d talk to him after they met Christine. Devon said he was Abby\u2019s friend and he\u2019d never intentionally hurt her. Abby was skeptical and called this a betrayal. Devon knew Abby was trying to protect her family, but he was doing the same thing. He said he wouldn\u2019t be putting them through this if he didn\u2019t care so much about her, Dominic and Chance. Abby and Chance left. Nate went to Devon\u2019s because they had plans to go for a run, but Devon wasn\u2019t up to it anymore. Devon brought Nate up to speed. Chance had admitted he didn\u2019t feel like he was in the right headspace to give Dominic the love and support he needed right now. Devon said Abby saw him as the bad guy. Nate knew that Devon just wanted to protect his relationship with his biological son. Devon said he couldn\u2019t get that through to Abby. He thought it was clear they were in for a legal battle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nate thought it sounded like Abby and Chance were in shock. He advised Devon ease up and let them adjust to the idea of sharing custody. Devon said they weren\u2019t even open to the idea of arranged visits. He didn\u2019t want to give Abby and Chance time to come up with a counter argument. He didn\u2019t know if Christine would advise them to cut off contact between him and Dom. Nate asked if Devon thought Abby and Chance would do that. Devon didn\u2019t know what they\u2019d do, now that lawyers were involved. For Dominic\u2019s sake, he didn\u2019t want to take that chance. Nate said lawyers didn\u2019t care about collateral damage or Devon\u2019s relationship with Abby and Chance. Devon couldn\u2019t worry about that right now because his son needed him. He needed this resolved ASAP. Nate insisted that the run would be good for Devon, so Devon groaned and went upstairs to get ready. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Devon and Nate went to get coffee before their run, and they talked with Noah and Nick at Crimson Lights. Noah saw something about a training program for restaurant employees in the New Hope files. Devon said it was something he and Abby had been working on before Lola left for Miami. Devon said Abby was in and out of the restaurant now, but he still liked the concept. Nick beamed about working with his son. Devon knew the feeling because he\u2019d loved working with his dad at Hamilton-Winters. He said the father\/son bond was really special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick and Noah were alone on the patio again, and Noah wasn\u2019t listening to Nick. Nick commented on his son\u2019s distraction. He didn\u2019t want to pry, but he couldn\u2019t help but notice Noah seemed deflated when Tessa left. Noah claimed he didn\u2019t know what Nick was talking about. Nick promised this wasn\u2019t going to be a lecture or interrogation. Nick acknowledged that Noah and Tessa had a history. Nick knew what it was like when old feelings resurfaced. Noah maintained that Nick misread things. Noah said he\u2019d never do that to his sister\u2019s girlfriend. Nick wasn\u2019t accusing Noah of anything, but actions were easier to control than feelings. Nick said Noah and Tessa had something good once; Tessa was talented and beautiful, and she\u2019d been working with Noah lately. It was natural if some old feelings got rekindled. \u201cYou don\u2019t think Mariah noticed do you?,\u201d Noah asked. Noah promised he wasn\u2019t going to make an ass of himself. He supported Mariah and Tessa. Nick said that if Noah revisited an old relationship, there was no guarantee it wouldn\u2019t end the same way it did the first time. Noah wondered if it felt safe revisiting his old feelings for Tessa because she was completely unavailable right now. He said he\u2019d focus on his work, family and try to have some fun. Nick said he could help with all three. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mariah and Tessa went to Society, which was otherwise empty. There were candles, flowers and silver and gold balloons all over, and Mariah wondered if they\u2019d stumbled into a private party. Tessa admitted she lied about the meeting so she could get Mariah here. Mariah thought this was beautiful, and Tessa was beautiful, and she didn\u2019t know what she did to deserve this. Mariah asked if they were celebrating something. \u201cHopefully,\u201d Tessa said, as she got down on one knee. Mariah\u2019s jaw dropped, and she asked if she was dreaming. Tessa said they deserved every moment of happiness because they never gave up on themselves or their dreams. Tessa said when they started, they were this fragile little thing, but they made the choice to trust it, to forgive each other and help each other heal, and they only grew stronger, more powerful and beautiful. Tessa couldn\u2019t imagine her heart being any fuller than it was now, but when they had a family, it would only expand. Mariah asked if Tessa was only doing this because they planned to adopt. Tessa couldn\u2019t remember a moment when she didn\u2019t want this. She was only doing it now because she was ready, and she hoped Mariah was too. Tessa opened a ring box. She knew in her soul that she and Mariah were meant to live this life together, and that was why she was proposing. \u201cMarry me, Mariah?\u201d Tessa asked. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Tessa told Mariah that this was the part where she said yes. \u201cI can\u2019t,\u201d Mariah said, and Tessa looked panicked. Mariah had something to tell Tessa first. Mariah asked Tessa to stand up with her, and Tessa got off her knee. Mariah said they lifted each other up, especially this summer. Tessa said she was shook to her core when Mariah went missing. Mariah said when she came back, she was unsure, then too sure, but all the while, Tessa was patient and loving and reassuring. Mariah said Tessa brought her back to life, and Mariah knew it wasn\u2019t easy. Mariah thanked God Tessa was so brave. Mariah was grateful and thankful and she wouldn\u2019t change a minute of all the things that happened in their lives because it brought them to this moment. She wanted to share this love with their kids. She said yes to a lifetime with Tessa. Tessa put the ring on Mariah\u2019s finger, and they hugged and kissed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At their place, Abby wanted Chance to explain himself. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me that you were going to Devon\u2019s? I understand that you have a lot of conflicting emotions but you should talk to me about that or go see a counselor. You don\u2019t go talk to the man who is suing us for custody of our son!,\u201d Abby yelled. Chance said that if they didn\u2019t figure this out, a judge would. Abby said Devon was going to use what Chance said as a weapon against them in court. Chance didn\u2019t agree. Abby said Devon was twisting Chance\u2019s trauma into a failure, which it wasn\u2019t. Chance knew Abby would do anything for their family. She said she wouldn\u2019t let anyone splinter them. She was going to check on Dom and Louise, and she asked if he\u2019d be there when she got back. He said of course. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Abby returned. She sent Louise on a walk with the baby, because she didn\u2019t want the nanny overhearing the talk with Christine. Abby was concerned that Amanda might subpoena Louise in court. Since Louise had also worked for Devon when he had Dominic, Abby didn\u2019t want her to end up in the middle. Chance hoped it wouldn\u2019t get that far. Abby wanted Devon to realize what he was doing was wrong. Chance thought Devon meant well. Abby believed Devon was rationalizing to get what he wanted. She said she and Chance were Dominic\u2019s parents, and they were doing a good job, even if Chance was going through a rough time. She noted that everyone had rough patches. Chance was adamant that he didn\u2019t have what it took to give Dom what he needed. Abby thought Devon was playing on Chance\u2019s insecurities. She was sure Chance would bond with Dom the way Devon had. He loved her, but he said it wasn\u2019t going to be that easy. He said he was having a hard time, and it was his fault, not hers. He admitted he hadn\u2019t been very honest with her about it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chance had been having nightmares. Abby knew because she heard him screaming. She hadn\u2019t pried because she assumed he\u2019d share when he was ready. He said they started as normal dreams, then suddenly he\u2019d be in Spain watching his team die. He had flashbacks even when he was awake. Certain sounds and smells could take him back, and it didn\u2019t matter what he was doing or where he was. He\u2019d tried to get rid of the flashbacks, but he couldn\u2019t. Abby was sorry. She thought that sounded exhausting, and it was probably why he felt too tired to care for their baby. He said he\u2019d been trying so hard to be a good dad and a man she could depend on, but he wasn\u2019t the guy he was when he left here a year ago. He felt like he was letting her down. She said he could never do that. She promised they\u2019d find him some help, and in the meantime, she thought he needed rest. He agreed that sleep would be a good start. Christine arrived, so they put the talk on hold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Christine was sorry they were at odds with Devon. Abby thought the judge would make Devon abide by the document. Christine said that wasn\u2019t necessarily true. Gestational surrogacy law was in its infancy, and there wasn\u2019t much legislation in place in Wisconsin to regulate the process. The judge would act in the best interest of the child, and there was a chance Devon could win. According to Christine, it worked in their favor that they were a married couple providing a stable home. They could argue that giving Devon shared custody would confuse Dominic. Abby brought up the contract Devon signed. Christine said it wasn\u2019t enforceable, but it did show that Devon initially had no desire to have a role in the baby\u2019s life other than as a family friend. Abby said that she\u2019d always planned to be honest with Dominic about the fact that Devon was his biological father. Chance asked what if Devon brought up the fact that very little of the process went the way they\u2019d expected. Christine said Devon could make the argument that, because Abby left the baby with him while she went to Spain, she encouraged him to take on a paternal role, and it\u2019d be in the baby\u2019s best interest to continue that. Christine said if the other side played hardball, they\u2019d assert that Chance was suffering from emotional trauma, and he was incapable of being a father, while the biological father was ready and eager to assume the role. Abby said that wasn\u2019t fair. Christine knew, but they had to prepare. Christine asked Chance if he was ready to testify under oath that those accusations were unfounded. Chance didn\u2019t respond. Abby announced that Chance would testify to that. She said that if Devon were the friend he claimed to be, he\u2019d support them, he wouldn\u2019t take them to court and stress them out. Chance clarified that he wasn\u2019t going to lie to Abby, or himself, and he definitely wasn\u2019t going to lie under oath. \u201cDevon is absolutely right,\u201d Chance admitted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Christine left. Chance apologized to Abby, but she told him not to. He felt he was barely holding it together. His body was here, but his mind was in Spain. He kept asking himself why he survived and if he could\u2019ve saved everyone. He couldn\u2019t lie in court. She didn\u2019t want him to. She wanted him to be better. He said she went to Devon when she was overwhelmed. She said that was temporary, but this would be giving Devon permanent legal rights to her son with Chance. She was sure his stress would go away. She was sorry she put pressure on him. She said she\u2019d take on all the childcare while he recovered. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to turn to Devon!,\u201d she insisted. He didn\u2019t understand why she was fighting this. He didn\u2019t think there was anything wrong with Devon wanting a permanent role in Dominic\u2019s life. \u201cThat\u2019s what any good father would do,\u201d he said. \u201cDominic has a good father. It\u2019s you!,\u201d she yelled. \u201cStop saying that!,\u201d he yelled back. He was adamant that he was no good to anyone right now. He said his wounds healed, but he was broken inside. There was a black hole ripping away at his energy, and he had nothing left to give to Dominic. Abby implored Chance to let her help him. He said that it\u2019d help him to know Dominic was in good hands and that he wasn\u2019t being deprived of a father\u2019s love. \u201cAbby I need this just as much as Devon and Dominic,\u201d Chance stated. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Abby was sorry. She had no idea how much pain Chance was in. She wished she could make it go away. He promised to keep fighting and figure it out. He said he had to let go of his guilt. She said no one should make him feel guilty. He saw no point in turning this into a battle and cutting off one of her friends. He said the judge would do what was best for the baby, and they both knew what that meant. He knew she was scared. She felt like every minute that Dominic wasn\u2019t with them was time that they could be bonding. If they gave into Devon now, what would stop him from asking for more later. Chance thought they should trust Devon, because he meant well, and he was an excellent dad. \u201cDominic will always be our son. Don\u2019t get me wrong. Devon doesn\u2019t want to change that, either. He just wants to add a little love,\u201d Chance said. Abby wasn\u2019t sold. Chance said a lot of kids didn\u2019t have parents, and Dominic would have three loving people. He knew he\u2019d asked a lot of her, and he here he was again. \u201cIt was supposed to be you and me and our baby makes three,\u201d she said. He knew, but he told her to think about what they stood to lose if they went to court. He said to think of what they could gain if they allowed the man who helped bring their boy into the world to spend time with him every week. She felt like Devon was trying to take their son. He told her that this would just be welcoming Devon into the family while giving Chance some space to heal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Devon and Nate went back to the penthouse. Devon was tired out, and Nate said he\u2019d helped Devon get his mind off things. Abby called and asked Devon to meet with her and Chance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Back to the Main Days of Our Lives Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/30\/daytime-soap-updates\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Updates Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"202\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Update Recap written by Christine Elena and Amanda ran into each other at Crimson Lights.
