It was a sunny but nicely breezy June day in 1980 and Mrs. Harold O'Brian couldn't be happier. Finally, after ten years of trying, she and her husband were about to have a baby! A little girl, to be called Chloe April O'Brian. She would grow up with her father's beautiful blonde hair and her mother's deep blue eyes. She'd bring joy and happiness to everyone around her, and life would be right. Mrs. Harold O'Brian knew this in her heart. So when Chloe was finally born 32 hours later on the 22nd, Mrs. Harold O'Brian put away her tears of pain and replaced them with tears of JOY.
Chloe grew up,... some would say spoiled, with all the things a child could want. Presents just because and foods like lollipops and pretzels. Chloe liked the lollies best. Her father and mother, Daddy and Mama, loved her very much. But Daddy and Mama wondered sometimes about Chloe.
"She's so sad, sitting up there all alone." Her mother would say.
Her father's brow would furrow and he would sigh. "Well, she's a smart girl, I'm sure she understands that we can't have another child."
What her parents didn't know is that Chloe heard them when they'd talk about her. And it would make her sad. So early on in her life, she learned how to be funny and clever and talented and CHEERY enough for two children. Daddy liked it when Chloe was clever. Mama liked cheery most of all.
Sometimes, when Chloe came home with a new friend, and the new friend was not happy, Chloe and her mother would try to make the new friend feel all better! With cookies and milk and other happy things!
"Turn that frown upside-down! The sun's shining and it's all gonna be alright!" or "Somebody's got a bad case of the Mondays!"
And when Chloe was sad, her mother would hold her tight and finger comb her hair. And sometimes, when Chloe was happy, her father would tickle her to make her giggle.
"I think somebody has a case of the silly-willys!"
And when Chloe grew up, she was still funny and clever and talented and CHEERY. She loved all the people that she met in school, and then at work, she got to meet even MORE new people!
When she was 19, she married her bestest best friend Andrew. He is nice and talented and clever and just as cheerful as Chloe, and they want very much to have a little family so her Mama, who is very lonely now that Daddy's gone, can be happy with grandbabies!
A few years ago, Andrew got a gig as Grocer #7 on a tv show, so Chloe went to go watch. A man who obviously wasn't paying any attention to what he was doing handed her his cell phone. When it rang, she answered it. The man was busy, so she took a message. Apparently, she can take very good messages, because a few weeks later she was working as a receptionist at Jack Bauer's company. She loves working there a lot, because she meets all sorts of new and interesting people. She sometimes tells people that Andrew claims "You're more than a receptionist, Chlo. You're their PR. You're the first person any new clients see. You're the most important person there." And of course, if anyone claims this or anything else positive about Chloe, she'll blush beet red.
