As Steffy continued to gazed into the beautiful grey eyes of the stranger who was keeping her from falling to the ground. As they both realized that they were staring at each other, Steffy quickly looked away and quickly apologized for bumping into him.
"I'm so sorry! I should have watched where I was going." replied Steffy. "I hope I haven't broken anything." Steffy said with concern in her voice.
"It's okay, nothing is broken." answered Wyatt as he helped her with her balance. "We all have our bad days sometimes. What about you?
"I'm fine, but I'll be okay." answered Steffy. "Thanks again for stopping my fall see you around." As Steffy turned around and head back to her car.
"No problem, anytime I like to help out a beautiful lady in distress." as Wyatt answered back. "So what's the rush?" As Wyatt tried to keep Steffy from bolting.
"I'm just having a bad day and I don't want to bring you down with me and I don't even know your name!" Answered Steffy as she slowed down so that he can catch up to her.
"Wyatt Fuller at your service and yours?" Wyatt asked.
"Steffy Forrester." answered Steffy.
"Oh that Steffy Forrester thought I recognized you from somewhere." Replied Wyatt as it dawned on him that he was in the company of talented designers of Forrester Creations and a PR genius.
"Is there a problem that I'm a Forrester?" asked Steffy wondering if she was talking to an angry fan.
"No problem at all! I just admire your accomplishments. "Replied Wyatt."Not many young women your age can accomplish that. "
"Oh ok and thank you for the compliment." Steffy smiled at Wyatt. "You're not doing so bad yourself." As they continued walking along the beach edge.
As they walked and having fun along the beach and getting to know one another better. Steffy hadn't realized that she was having so much fun that she forget her problems and the decision she have to make whether to tell Liam that he's going to be a father or not but then she don't want seem like the home wrecker. But once the Logan's know they will quickly assume that I'm going to try to use the baby as a pawn to get back with Liam but I'm not going to repeat that cycle.
Wyatt asked, "What are you doing tonight?" As he turned to face Steffy as they walked along the beach.
"I'm not doing anything!" answered Steffy wondering what he was up to and she wasn't thinking about getting into a relationship. "Why do want to know?"
"Because I would like to take you out to dinner unless you have a boyfriend or a husband." Asked Wyatt.
"Sure, why not and to answer your question, I do not have a significant other." replied Steffy as they exchanged phone numbers so that they could meet up later. As Wyatt walked Steffy back to her car where they said goodbye.
As Steffy was driving home, she kept wondering if she was moving on too quickly when she just found out that she was pregnant. Maybe by the time she gets home she will figure it out.
As Hope was finishing up some paperwork in Rick's office when there was a knock on the door. Hope told the person to enter.
"Come in!" Hope said as she looked up from what she was doing at the moment. As Liam entered the office. "Hey what are you doing here so early? I thought we're going to meet in the next hour?" Smiled Hope.
"Hey beautiful! I thought that I could finish up at the office early and come surprise you." Answered Liam as he approached Hope and gave her a kiss. "So how was your day?"
Hope replied, "Surprisingly good but a little sad at the same time." As she flashed back at the conversation with Steffy. Although she was happy it came at expense of another's pain.
"Why do you say that?" asked Liam as he waited for Hope to finish up her work.
"I saw Steffy and we kind of talked for a little bit well mostly me but I feel bad for her." Answered Hope. "I just want everyone to be happy and I hope she gets to find someone special as you." As Hope leaned into Liam as they shared a kiss.
"Ok! That's why I love you. You got compassion for others." replied Liam. "And I know that Steffy going to be alright, she's strong and will pull through."
"I hope she will, and then maybe we can get back the friendship we used to have." answered Hope. "So where are we going dinner?"
Liam answered, "At Bikini's for dinner." As Hope put the rest of the paperwork on Rock's desk and then grabbed her purse so that they can have dinner.
"So I told mom that we're back together and she's ecstatic for us she's ready to plan the wedding already." replied Hope. "I had to slow her down a bit and told her to slow down and that we haven't set a date yet. So be on the lookout for my mom."
"Tell her I will let her know when I'm ready, there's no rush." stated Liam as they head out of the building towards Liam's car.
As Steffy was driving home to her condo, she decided to call her mom and brother to share in her good news. As she dialed, she was remembering all the happy times with her family and how they will support her. As her mom picked up on the fourth ring.
"Hello!" answered Taylor as she realized it was Steffy calling. "Hey Steffy! How are you doing?" Going into panic mode.
"Hey mom! Could you come over to my place immediately? It's very important!" Replied Steffy as she awaits her mom's response.
"Sure! Are you sure you're ok nothing is wrong with you?" Taylor asked really worried now.
"No mom! Nothing life threatening." Answered Steffy.
"Ok I'll see you in a few minutes." Responded Taylor as she began to put away her things in her purse to head over to Steffy's.
"Ok then I'll see you then." replied Steffy as she hang up the phone. She took a deep breath and then began to dial her brother, Thomas.
"Hey sis! What's wrong?" asked Thomas wondering what was wrong with Steffy; he wanted to see his sister happy again.
"Hey Thomas! Nothing is wrong with me." replied Steffy. "Can you come over to my condo immediately, it's important?"
"Sure, I can cone over, I'm leaving now." answered Thomas as he grabbed his jacket to leave. And as he was about to open his car door he saw Hope and Liam getting in Liam's car not bothering to call out a greeting to them. Wishing he could of rushed over to Liam's and decked him for hurting his sister but he doesn't have time for that so he rushed over to Steffy's wondering what she wanted to talk to them about.
40 minutes later
Both Taylor and Thomas arrived at Steffy's door at the same time. So she asked Thomas if he knew what Steffy wanted to talk to them about.
"Do you know what Steffy wanted to talk to us about?" asked Taylor a little bit worried that after her break up with Liam; she will work herself to death.
"No I'm clueless just as you mom!" stated Thomas. "I hope she get over this loser quick and move on with her life."
"You know it's not easy to mend a broken heart, Thomas." stated Taylor. "I just hope that she doesn't have to experience what I went through with your father and Brooke and I hope that one day she can find the one that could love her unconditionally." As Taylor rings her daughter's doorbell which Steffy opened the door to her brother and her mom?
"Hey! How are you feeling?" asked Taylor as she walked through the apartment door with Thomas bringing up the rear.
As Thomas gave his sister a hug and went to sit on the couch. "So what is so important that mom and I have to rush over?" Asked Thomas and joined his Taylor on the couch.
As Steffy sat in the chair across from them, feeling a little nervous about telling them that there will be an addiction to the family. "Well there is something I tell you guys and I don't know how you will react to the news." replied Steffy as she sat facing them.
Taylor asked, "What do you want to talk to us about? We getting a little worried, Steffy!"
"What's going on? Steffy! I hope it has nothing to do with Liam. He is a waste of time and I'm glad you are moving on from him." said Thomas a little worried and angry at the same time. All he ever wanted was for his sister to be happy.
"Well, I just going to say it!" replied Steffy. "I'm pregnant! You're going to be a grandma and an uncle. And to answer your question Thomas it has everything to do with Liam." As Taylor and Thomas just sat there in shock and silence.
"Well congratulations, Steffy. I'm going to be a grandma!" Taylor said excitedly and reached over to hug Steffy. "Although I'm happy for you, have you told Liam yet?"
"Thanks mom, I haven't told Liam yet because I just found out today and I'm not going to rush over to Liam's and besides I don't want to be accused of trapping anyone." answered Steffy. "And that's the first thing the Logan's will use."
"I'm happy for you, Steffy." Said Thomas. "But I wish it wasn't Liam's and I can't change anything about that but you and peanut can count on me and mom for support."
As Taylor and Steffy laughed at Thomas reference to the baby.
"Thank you big bro at least I can count on you to babysit and not to use my baby as a chick magnet." Steffy joked.
"So when are you going to tell him, Steffy?" questioned Taylor. "He has a right to know he's about to become a father!"
"I will tell him when I'm ready, mom!" Respond Steffy. "Let me just get used to the idea of being a mom first and I don't want to seem that I'm trying to trap him and whatever decisions I make, I hope that I can count on you guys for your support." As Steffy looked at her mom and brother for their answer.
"You know you can count on us, Steffy!" replied Taylor. "I just don't want you to experience what I went through but whatever you decide you have my support." As Taylor reached over to give Steffy's hand a comforting squeeze.
Thomas replied, "You can count on me and I support you no matter what. The next time I see him can I deck him?"
"Thomas!" shouted Taylor.
"Thomas although I would like you to deck him for me it will not solve anything, but thanks anyway."
"I'm just saying! Just say the word and it can be done." Thomas said with a serious tone in his voice.
As Steffy was about to speak her cell phone alerted her with an incoming text from Wyatt. And as she read it, she began to smile and began to type away completely forgetting that her brother and her mom was right there.
"So what or who just put a smile on your face?" asked Taylor.
"Just a friend I met while walking on the beach today." replied Steffy. "He just sends me a funny dinner invite for tomorrow."
"Isn't it too soon to date and you just found out you're pregnant?" asked Taylor as she watched as Steffy replied back to her text.
"It's just a date mom and I know that I just don't want feel like I have to put my life on hold just because I'm in the family way." answered Steffy.
"I'm just don't want to see you get hurt and I just don't want you to jump into a relationship too soon." Replied Taylor. "I'm not saying you can't have a little fun but then again you will have to think about your baby."
"I know mom and I get it. It's not just me I'm responsible for." Answered Steffy.
"Well I see I can't persuade you to not go on this date but I just want you to be aware of what's going to happen." Replied Taylor.
"I know mom it's just a bite to eat nothing more is going to happen." answered Steffy.
"Just promise me that you'll be careful." Said Taylor.
"I will mom!" replied Steffy as she gave her mom another hug.
"So I'll see you later?" asked Taylor as she gathered her purse to leave.
"Yes mom and don't worry too much I'll be ok." answered Steffy as she walked her mother to the door.
"It's a mother's prerogative to worry about their kids no matter how old they are in about nine months you're going to experience this for yourself." Taylor said as she hug and kiss Steffy one last time as she left for the night.
"So what do you think? Thomas!" asked Steffy. "Am I moving too fast or just wait it out?"
Thomas replied, "I think that you're moving too fast but then again I just want you to be happy. No matter what advice I give you; you tend to do the opposite. My opinion is that you take your time in getting to know him and don't jump into a relationship too soon. And if he can't handle that then he's not the right guy for you."
"Thanks Thomas. You know me so well and I will take my time and getting to know him." answered Steffy. "And I just might go on this date and I'm so tired of moping around the apartment."
"Just be careful Steffy and if you need anything just let me know, I'm just a phone call away." said Thomas as he goes over to Steffy and gave her a brotherly hug.
"I know. And good night." replied Steffy as she closed the door behind Thomas and head upstairs to her bed.
