But when Chloe shows up at one of the group's get-togethers with her five-year-old son, Jackson-who happens to have the same distinctive gray eyes that Luke does-Luke is faced with the realization that his one night with Chloe resulted in something neither of them were prepared for: parenthood.But Luke has no way of knowing for sure if Jackson is his son, and Chloe doesn't even hint at trying to tell Luke that he's the father, so Luke has to take matters into his own hands. With the holidays approaching, and Chloe feeling the financial pinch of trying to provide for Jackson with only her meager salary, Luke decides the best way to get the truth from Chloe is by winning her heart and Jackson's with a little Christmas magic.
