Chloe Cammeniti 2008-
Lived: Carmella's apartment
Parents: Carmella Cammeniti and Oliver Barnes

When Carmella Cammeniti learnt that she was pregnant, her life was already a mess, having ended a relationship with Oliver Barnes a few weeks earlier, and trying to overcome an addiction to prescribed anti-depressants, as well as an attraction to teenager Ringo Brown, Carmella faced a wait to learn if her recent stress and abuse to her body had harmed her unborn child. Luckily the news was good, and Carmella set about building up her fruit and veg supply business, hoping to give her child a strong start in life. When Oliver - the father of the child - made it clear that he no longer had any romantic interest in Carmella, she started to move on with her business partner, Marco Silvani, leaving Oliver slightly concerned that he was going to be shut out of his daughter's life. 35 weeks into the pregnancy, Carmella went into premature labour and, despite attempts to have a drug-free birth - fearful that her addiction might return - she agreed to have an epidural, but was told that the baby was becoming distressed and there was no time for the natural birth. The baby was delivered by an emergency Caesarean section, and Carmella was distressed as her daughter, unable to breath alone, was rushed straight to the neonatal unit, where Carmella, Oliver and their extended families kept a watch over her, and she was given the name Chloe.

After a few days in the neonatal unit, Chloe started breathing on her own, much to the relief of Carmella and Oliver. Shortly afterwards, Carmella was finally able to have her daughter in her hospital room for the night, with Oliver's proud mum, Rebecca also managing to sneak in and be part of the sleepover. After a couple more days, Carmella was allowed to be discharged, but Chloe had to stay behind for a little while longer, though she was never alone, with a constant stream of relatives visiting her.
