Summary: She was supposed to be Aunt Sarah.
Sarah still lived with Oz and Andy (and Adri, still in med school) after Chloe was born. Unfortunately (or maybe not. Sarah had never truly been able to decide), that meant that she had a big part in Chloe’s life, bigger than an aunt should have.
She was there when Chloe took her first steps. Oz drama queened about it, but Sarah fiercely protected that moment as hers. The first time Chloe called her ‘Mama’, she hesitated before correcting her; later that night, she locked herself in the bathroom, ran the faucets as loud as they would go, and cried.
