Victoria just showed Xander what he’s missing out on by no longer being with Sarah on Days of our Lives in a touching moment that spoke volumes. The little girl showed off her musical chops to her parents, but it turned out to mean so much more than Sarah and Xander being proud of their daughter.
Key Takeaway
- Victoria’s performance was sweet but gave Xander a harsh reality check.
- Xander was confronted with what he’s missing out on.
- He’s mourning a family life he almost had.
The Shining Moment That Took a Turn
Xander (Paul Telfer) and Victoria (Angelica Nero) were having a fun daddy-daughter shopping day when they stopped in Horton Town Square. It was there that Xander learned his little girl has some musical chops.
Not only did Victoria reveal she knows how to play the piano, something Xander was in the dark about, but she also sang a song, which he didn’t know she knew. Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) showed up just in time to see her daughter in action, too.
Victoria brought Xander and Sarah to tears. However, for Xander, it meant so much more than just being proud of Victoria singing and performing.
What Xander Is Really Missing on DAYS
Despite his many near misses with Sarah recently, Xander knows they can’t be together right now. Thanks to solid advice from Marlena (Deidre Hall), Xander has learned he has to fix himself before he can be with the woman he loves.
Watching Victoria sing a song that Sarah sings to her every single night made Xander tear up because of what he’s missing out on. Xander realized there’s a lot he’s in the dark about regarding his daughter, simply because Sarah is the parent who spends the most time with her.
The reality is that even in the best co-parenting situation, which Xander has tried to create by keeping his calm at all costs, Xander still won’t be around for everything that goes on in Victoria’s life.
Xander knows he will miss his daughter’s milestones, and it’s the price he pays for his past actions. Losing Sarah was one thing, and Xander understood the cost of that. However, the moment with Victoria gave him a reality check on the family life he lost because of his bad decisions and behavior.
It’s also not just about missing out on Victoria. Xander finally realized that the family he had longed for his whole life, the one he had with Sarah, was gone, and that it was tangible to him. Instead of just thinking about theories or what might have been, watching Victoria sing with Sarah by his side gave him a glimpse of what he could have had.
The moment was touching on many levels, but it hit Xander in a way that not even he could have expected. It further proved that Xander has changed and grown.
Xander also showed by keeping his true feelings to himself that he might not be his own worst enemy anymore. Instead of fighting with Sarah or projecting his heartbreak onto her, he kept quiet, felt his feelings, and accepted his reality.
