Imagine this... Alternate version to the Ivy/Steffy stair situation

Steffy arrives at the Forrester Estate to confront Ivy about her recently confessed undying love for Liam.

"I am glad to see you are packing Ivy. You need to leave town! Wyatt and Liam DO NOT need this chaos in their lives, hell I do not need this shit either. But I do want to know why?"

"Why what Steffy? Why I think you are an entitled princess who thinks she can do no wrong? Why I think Liam can do so much better than you and that he deserves it? Or maybe you want to know why I am better for Liam? Well guess what Steffy we don't always get what we want. Unless we are Stephanie Forrester, because apparently you always get what you want when you want it. Because you're Steffy Forrester, and the rules don't apply to you. You make reckless choices and don't care about the consequences. After all you did kill your own baby."

Little do Ivy and Steffy know that Liam had just pulled up at the Forrester Estate and was in the process of opening the front door, hearing every hate filled word Ivy was spilling.

"How dare you Ivy. How dare you bring Liam and my precious daughter into your hate-fuelled rage! Yell at me, spit your hateful words at me but don't you ever, EVER, mention Aspen again. Our precious baby would have been so loved, I have never wanted something or someone more than my desire to have my baby girl. She was my world. Without her, I felt like I no longer existed, that I had no future. Trust me, I know that the reason she isn't here with us is my fault, I know how that one stupid decision that I made turned my world upside down, it turned Liam's world upside down. But that does not give you the right to try and use that against me. Trust me on this I live with the pain of my stupid decision every single day. Every day I wonder what her life would have been like, who she would look like, who she would have taken after. Would she be my wild child or would she have become another calm space? The thoughts of what could have been are my punishment, they are my prison. So no, you don't get to mention that sweet, precious baby. You don't get to enter her into your arguments about me nor do you have the right to enter them into arguments with me. She is OFF LIMITS IVY!"

"So let me get this straight Steffy. You think that because you have an inner turmoil about the death of your child that no one can bring up your recklessness. That I can't say that if that was me, that if I was pregnant with Liam's baby that I would have done every single thing in my power to keep my baby safe."

"You Bitch..." Steffy screams as she slaps Ivy across the face "you play the high and mighty card, yet all you are is an evil manipulating bitch." As Steffy's hand moves away from Ivy's reddened cheek Ivy shoves Steffy backwards causing her to trip on a bag Ivy had left on the stairs. "STEFFFFFFFFFFYYYYYYY" Ivy Screams.

As Steffy tumbles to the landing Liam rounds the corner yelling "Ivy what have you done? Why did you push her? What gives you the right to talk to my Fiancé about our daughter?"

"Liam I'm sorry, I didn't mean for her to fall!"

"Steffy, baby, can you hear me? Steffy don't move my love!" At this point Liam reaches for Steffy's phone, which had fallen out of her purse during the fall. Calling 911 Liam notices the rest of the contents of Steffy's purse including a little white stick with two lines on it.

"Don't you touch her Ivy!"

"911, what's your emergency?"

"My fiancé just fell down a flight of stairs, she's not responding, we are at the Forrester Estate please help us!"

"Sir, sir please calm down, is she breathing?"

"I, I think so"

"Okay, sir that's good, now can you see any visible signs of trauma, is she bleeding at all?"

"I can't see any, but why is she unconscious, please hurry she's pregnant!"

"She's WHAT!" Ivy exclaims.

"Sir, help is on the way, they are about 3 minutes away, can someone meet the paramedics out the front of the house?"

"Yes, Ivy go wait for the Ambulance, bring them straight in!"

"Sir, I need you to check that she is still breathing for me, make sure you don't move her."

"She is still breathing, are they here yet, we can't lose another baby..."

The paramedics arrive and assess Steffy's condition, as a precaution they fit her with a spinal collar before rolling her onto her back. When they roll Steffy, Liam notices her cradling her slightly rounded stomach, holding their baby tight.

"Mr Spencer, is she allergic to anything?"

"No, no she isn't, but she is pregnant!"

"Sir, how many weeks along is she?"

"I, I, I don't know, I literally just found the test in her purse!"

"Sir it is going to be alright, are you going to ride with us?"

"I am not leaving her!"

At this point Steffy starts to rouse, moaning in pain calling out for Liam "Liam... Baby, our baby"

"I know sweetheart, we are on our way to the hospital, it's going to be okay my love, everything is going to be okay!"

During the Ambulance ride, Liam makes a call to Dr Caspery asking her to meet them in the emergency room. He informs her that Steffy has taken a tumble down a lot of stairs and they just found out she is pregnant.

"Liam, Liam!"

"SHhhh baby I am right here."

"Li...am, I'm ... I'm preg."

"Sweetheart I know I found the test, it's going to be okay. Dr Caspery is going to meet us at the Emergency Room."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"Hey now, enough of that, you need to focus on staying awake, on being here with me, everything is going to be okay!"

Upon arriving at the hospital, Steffy is rushed away. Liam continues to hold Steffy's hand until it is no longer physically possible, their fingertips grazing as the Doctors and Nurses push Steffy's stretcher into an emergency room. Liam sits in a cold, hard, plastic chair outside Steffy's room trying to process everything that has happened. Dr Caspery approaches Liam asking how this happened and to inform him about Steffy's condition.

"Liam! I just checked in with Steffy and the Emergency Medical Team. She has just had a MRI scan to rule out any spinal injuries, brain bleeds and broken bones. The results of the scan look good so far."

"Is that safe for the baby?"

"Yes Liam, I made sure that the doctor on Steffy's case knows she is pregnant so we decided that the best way to assess all and any injuries was with this type of scan."

"So Steffy looks like she is going to be okay, right Doctor?"

"That's correct."

"And the baby? Please let our baby be okay, I don't think we could handle losing another child."

"The doctors first priority, much to her disgust, is Steffy. Now that they have ruled out any internal bleeding and spinal injuries, I am able to come and give Steffy her prenatal exam. I thought you might like to be present for it. From everything her other doctors have told me everything seems like it is going to be fine."

"Liam" Steffy weakly calls out as he and Dr Caspery enter the room.

"Hey beautiful, you gave me quite a scare you know!"

"Our baby, is our baby alright? Please Doctor tell me is he okay?"

"Let's find out shall we."

Liam slowly rises from the chair beside Steffy and perches himself on her bedside, making sure to give her plenty of space and taking note of her visible injuries. Doctor Caspery slowly wheels the ultrasound machine towards the anxious couple, choosing to give both Liam and Steffy a moment to regroup with each other.

"Okay Steffy, I am going to lift your gown up so I can put some gel onto your abdomen. I am sure you remember and I am sorry, but the gel is going to feel rather cool on your skin. How far along so you think you might be Steffy?"

"I wouldn't think any more than 6 maybe 8 weeks. Everything has seemed so normal, work has been stressful and ever since we lost Aspen and I had all those difficulties, my cycle has not exactly been predictable so pinning down an exact timeline is tricky."

Steffy and Liam anxiously wait both sending silent prayers that everything will be okay with their little miracle.

Doctor Caspery starts the ultrasound. Instantly, a sigh of relieve can be heard when the 'whosh whosh whosh' of their baby's heartbeat fills the room. Liam can't help but let out a whisper of "thank you Aspen."

"Okay Steffy, Liam, everything is looking really good, dare I say normal! So, based on what I can see and some measurements you look to be further along than you think Steffy, in fact I would say you're measuring at around 16 weeks. It is hard to tell because every pregnancy is so different. Mum, Dad would you like to see your babies?"

"Sixteen weeks, Doctor are you sure, that's almost halfway along. Wait did you say babies, as in more than one baby? Steffy queries urgently.

"Ah I was wondering if either of you would pick up on anything apart from the words 'okay'! Both foetuses appear to be of a good size, they appear to be inside separate amniotic sacks, which makes them fraternal twins. I understand that you yourself Steffy are a twin."

"Yeah Phoebe and I couldn't have been more the same yet so vastly different at the same time!"

"Okay Steffy, Liam, as of the next four weeks you my dear are going to need to start slowing down. Based on your medical history this pregnancy was already going to be in the higher risk category, but now with it being a multiples birth we need to keep you as calm and stress free as possible. Which is going to mean stopping work, it is going to mean you will need to remove any confrontation from your lives and it certainly means taking it easy on stairs!"

"We understand Doctor. Trust me it is taking every ounce of self-control I possess to stop myself wrapping her up in cotton wool and bubble wrap for the next 24 weeks. She will be taking it easy, even if I have to tie her to the couch!"

"Trust me baby I am going to follow the doctor's orders to the letter. I am still in shock about twins let alone falling down that flight of stairs."

"Doctor, is she allowed to take regular pain killers while pregnant. I can guarantee that tomorrow Steffy will be feeling the effects of the fall and I can't stand to see her in any pain."

"It is perfectly safe for Steffy to take Tylenol during her pregnancy. My advice is to use it sparingly, try heat packs and showers or baths to relieve some of the aches and pains you are bound to have tomorrow. If the pain increases bring her straight back in to the hospital. I expect you to do the same thing if you have ANY cramping, discomfort or bleeding. Remember you fall into what we call the high-risk category of pregnancy. I am going to assume the ER doctors are going to keep you in for a few more hours and I know that they will want you to have a follow up appointment in the coming weeks, but I too would like to start seeing you every 2 weeks. I will have my secretary arrange a series of afterhours appointments for you. Steffy, Liam, relax, enjoy this time, be excited, get prepared remember that you are having twins and when there are multiples involved things don't always go to plan. We are going to aim to get you to your full 40 weeks, but if these babies are as independent and stubborn as their mother they will arrive on their own time!"

"Thank you so much Doctor, you have no idea how grateful I am for every single piece of information you have just given us. Thank you for making sure our babies are okay. Liam and I cannot express how truly grateful we are."

"You are more than welcome, the pair of you. Now get some rest I can guarantee there will be a swarm of people here to see that you are okay with their own eyes. That's Doctors Orders Steffy!"

At that very moment a nurse gently knocks on Steffy's door, letting both her and Liam know that there is crowd of people in the waiting room claiming to be family and wanting to know about Steffy's condition.
