In “Home and Away,” Xander’s life takes an unexpected turn when he overhears
a heated argument between Harper and her sister, Dana. Eavesdropping
from the shadows, Xander catches just enough of the conversation to send
his mind racing in the wrong direction. As the sisters move to Salt, continuing their intense discussion, Xander remains within earshot, his suspicions growing with every word. He begins to wonder if Dana is hiding something, and the terrifying thought of early fatherhood consumes him. Completely unprepared for such a responsibility, Xander panics.
Confused and overwhelmed, Xander turns to his sister Rose, sharing his fears. Rose, the voice of reason, advises him to respect Dana’s privacy and approach the situation cautiously. But Xander can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. Determined to support Dana, even if it means facing his worst fears, Xander confronts her, nervously bringing up the possibility of a baby. Dana鈥檚 shock is obvious, but she quickly clears up the misunderstanding鈥攕he’s not pregnant.
Relief washes over Xander, but it doesn’t last long. As the truth unravels, he realizes it鈥檚 actually Harper who’s expecting. While Xander feels the weight lift off his shoulders, Dana now faces the worry of how Harper will react to Xander knowing her secret before she had the chance to reveal it herself. What started as a simple misunderstanding now threatens to spark a family drama none of them anticipated.
