Story begins in April, 1983
It was just one of those days that kept going from bad to worse and it was the last thing Tiffany needed.
She had finished shooting a commercial and was already back in Port Charles after being bumped from her earlier flight and what is worse her new pair of heels were killing her feet.
However, it was all about to change for the better.
She had gotten off her flight and was on her way out of the security area to meet up with Robert who was there to pick her up, when she thought she had seen someone from her med school days before she became a star.
Tiffany walks over and taps that person on the shoulder hoping she was not mistaken.
"Excuse me but aren't you Vivian Leng?"
"Oh my goodness, Tiffany Hill it so good to see you! It is such a surprise to run into you here. How are you?" asked Vivian with excitement while hugging Tiffany.
"I am good darling. Oh look at you, you're as beautiful as ever. Well now even more with that glow."
"Thank you. Oh sorry, Tiffany this is my husband Ethan Chao. Ethan this is my roommate and friend Tiffany Hill. We were attending med school until she got a movie deal and became famous."
"It is nice to meet you Ms. Hill."
Right then Vivian goes into labor, "Honey, I think the baby is coming right NOW!"
"Oh dear I will get you to the hospital right away."
"I don't think there is enough time," said Vivian bowing over in pain.
Not much later Robert shows up and Tiffany turns him and says, "Darling please call the paramedics we need to get my friend and her husband to the hospital because she's in labor. I will stay here and I see what I can do, I explain everything later."
"Okay."
After Robert left to make the call Tiffany panicked at first but then remembers the procedures on how to deliver a baby and before long a healthy baby girl was born.
Five minutes later the paramedics arrive and she along with Robert got Ethan and Vivian to the hospital.
Thirty minutes later after getting the okay from Audrey, Tiffany goes and sees with the new parents.
"Hi, how are the new parents doing?"
"We're doing great," said Vivian
"We don't how to thank you Ms. Hill," began Ethan.
"Please call me Tiffany. How is the little one?"
"She is doing wonderfully. Would you like to hold her?" asked Vivian.
"Sure."
Tiffany walked over and Vivian gently gave Tiffany the newborn and instantly falls in
love with the newborn.
Right then Ethan and Vivian whisper something to each other and Vivian asked, "Tiffany I know this seems sudden but we are very grateful that you helped deliver our daughter, that my husband and I would like you to be our daughter's godmother and legal guardian, to be on the safe side in case anything happens."
Tiffany looking up in shock and responds, "Oh I would be honored to this baby girl's godmother and legal guardian and I promise to take good care of her you have my word for it. If you don't mind me asking, but have you picked out a name for this little one?"
"Yes, meet Hope Naomi Chao."
"That name is a perfect for fit for her, yes it is," coos Tiffany.
A few days Vivian and baby Hope are discharged from the hospital and the baby is baptized at St. Timothy's Church with the parents and Robert as witnesses.
The minister turned to the parents and said, "Now will you please give your daughter to her godmother?"
Vivian walks over and gives baby Hope to Tiffany.
Minister then says, "Will you speak the words; I present Hope Naomi Chao to receive the sacraments of baptism."
"I present Hope Naomi Chao to receive the sacraments of baptism."
"And will you be responsible to seeing that the child is brought up in the Christian way of life?"
"I will with God's help."
"And will bind your prayers and witness help the child grow into this child grow into the
full stature of Christ."
"I will with God's help."
Tiffany then gently give Hope to the minister and then says, "Hope Naomi Chao I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
A few days later Tiffany, Robert and the Chao family are in Lee Baldwin's office as they sign a will drawn up stating that should anything happen to Ethan and Vivian, Hope would come under the care of Tiffany Hill. It also included in the will that later on should Tiffany and her significant decide adopt Hope while she is in their care, it would have the approval and consent of the parents.
After this issue was taken care of, the group bid farewell as they were going to Vermont to start their new jobs. Tiffany and the family stay in touch for a year or two but then lose touch for a few years. However, a few years later they run into each other right as Tiffany and her friends were about to leave Mount Rushmore.
As Vivian was getting the lunches she sees Tiffany and quietly goes up and surprises her.
"Guess who?" asked Vivian as she covered Tiffany's eyes.
"Wait a minute...," said Tiffany as she turns around and see her friend.
"Vivian! It is so good to see you!"
"Same here. Sorry we have not been keeping in touch, our jobs have been keeping us busy."
"Oh that is ok, so how is it going?"
"Very busy Ethan and I were kept on our feet and yet we still have time to spend with our daughter."
"Oh how is my precious little goddaughter?"
"Great, she is so getting so adorable, would you like to see her?"
"Of course! Wait I think there is someone else who would like to see her too, remember Robert?"
"Yes, of course."
Tiffany went off to find her friends and was back within minutes.
"Hello Vivian it is nice to see you again."
"You too Robert."
"Oh sorry," said Tiffany seeing Anna and Sean a little bewildered, "This is Anna Devane, and Sean Donely."
"It is nice to meet you," said Vivian shaking hands with Anna and Sean.
Not long after Ethan came by to check on what is going, with holding little Hope.
"Hi Tiffany, how are you?"
"I am good Ethan, how are you?" said Tiffany.
"I am good thank you."
Then Tiffany saw little Hope as she began to squirm.
"Hi there Hope. Your mommy's right you're getting very adorable."
"Can you say hi to Aunt Tiffany?" asked Ethan whispering to Hope.
Hope in a tiny voice said, "Hi Aunt Tiffany."
"Awww," said Tiffany feeling the same way she did the first day she held her goddaughter.
Suddenly Hope reached out to Tiffany.
"Looks like she wants a hug from her Aunt Tiffany," said Ethan.
The group talked for a bit as while Tiffany snugggled Hope for a little. When it was time to leave Tiffany and Vivian made promises to keep in touch.
