"You know we still need to talk Steffy." Liam says, looking down at the woman next to him.

"I know, I am just not sure I am ready for it." she replies with a pout.

"I am worried about you. I know that all of this has been hard on you, and I am sorry for what I have out you through."

"Let's get dressed and go get some food and we can talk then." Steffy says hopefully.

"Okay, come on woman, lets start getting some weight on you." he says to her, laughing as she smacks him with a pillow.

"I can't believe that my mom knew and didn't say a word to me. Well, I am not going to let this stop me. I will get Liam away from Steffy. Now let's see... Where are you Liam?" she says to herself as she pulls out her phone. After a minute of playing with her phone she whispers, "Gotcha.".

She walks over to her purse, pulls something out and swallows it. She then heads for the door, grabbing her hotel key card and jacket on the way.

Logan Estate

"Do you have any news for me Justin?" Bill barks into his phone. After a minute you can see the frustration grow on his face. "Well, call me when you find something." she says before ending the call and slamming it on the table.

"Is everything okay Bill?" Brooke asks, coming up behind him.

"Yeah, I am just trying to find a way to get my company back from Katie." he lies to the blonde in front of him. "I just know that she is going to run it into the ground."

"I think there might be a way for you to get it all back if you can handle it." she says with a sly smile.

"Just what do you have in mind? I have Justin looking, but he can't seem to find a way for me to get the Spencer Publications back or to a way for me to get custody of Will."

"What you have to do is pretend to go crawling back to Katie. I am sure then she will give you your position back and you you could see our little Will whenever. We would just have to be careful about seeing each-other. Plus then I am sure I could get Katie to forgive me." Brooke says, tapping her chin as she thinks about her plan.

"I don't know if that would work Brooke. I mean, I did tell her that you fulfill me and we both told her that she is the reason that we found each-other also." Bill says.

"She is stupid, I am sure that she will believe anything we tell her." the blonde says with a wink, sure that her plan will work.

Unbeknownst to the couple talking, Donna was standing at the door, having walked in and heard what had been said. Quietly, she turned around and closed the door behind her, leaving.

Forrester Creations

"So what kind of flowers are you thinking?" Stephanie asks Taylor as the sit in Eric's office planning Taylor and Ridge's engagement party.

"I was thinking we could have white lilies and red roses. And since it is such a small gathering of just the family, I was thinking we could do a sit down dinner."

"Have you heard from Steffy?" her namesake asks, as she looks at the sketch that Eric had been working on for Taylor's wedding dress.

"No, but I am not worried either. We both know that my daughter is very much like you and can handle herself. Though I am going to call her later to ask her to come home at least long enough for the wedding."

"I am sure she will. She has been waiting years for this day to come." Stephanie says as she lays a hand on Taylor's shoulder.

"What are you two lovely ladies up to?" Eric asks as he walks into his office followed by Ridge and Thorne.

"Just party planning and discussing Steffy. I don't know why, but I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen." Taylor says as she looks at her future husband.

Paris

"Steffy, it took me a while to realize that I was in love with you. I just noticed that I kept wanting to be near you, to see your light and beauty. I am in love with you Steffy Spencer. I love the way that you light up a room, the way that even after you have been hurt time and time again you still love unconditionally, I love how loyal and fierce you are. I like the man that I am when I am with you, you bring me alive. I plan on spending the rest of our lives showing you how much you mean to me." Liam says, recording himself on his tablet.

However, Liam doesn't notice Steffy standing in the bathroom doorway, with tears silently running down her cheeks. As he is getting ready to send the video he made his wife, he hears her coming out of the bathroom, so he shuts the tablet and turns to face her.

"Are you ready to go get some food?" he asks.

"I sure am, let's get out of here." she replies.

Liam gets up from the desk he had been sitting at and grabs his jacket before they head out the door.

Sitting across the street, watching the door, Hope sits in the car she decided to rent. She smiles as she sees Liam walk out onto the street, but you see her smile fade as she watches Steffy walk out the door that Liam is holding open for her.

"Damn that woman!" she yells in the confines of the car. "I am going to make him see that I am the one for him." she says as she starts the car and begins to follow the couple that is walking hand in hand down the street.

Spencer Publications

"What is it Justin? I had to lie to Brooke just to get out of that damn house and if Katie finds out I am here..." he trails off as the man in front of him holds up a finger.

"I think I have found something of interest. I decided to look into the doctor's financial record and noticed an interesting transaction. I saw that there was a one time deposit of fifty-thousand dollars transferred to her account a few months ago and when I traced it, I saw that it came from Brooke Logan's account with Forrester Creations."

"Well I will be damned! Do you have the proof?" Bill asks excitedly.

Spencer Residence

Katie and Jon Meade are sitting on the couch looking over Steffy's chart, trying to figure out why Dr. Casbury would tell the young woman that she was infertile if it wasn't in her chart when they hear the door open. Jon hurries to hide the chart as Katie looks up to see Donna standing there, tears running down her cheeks.

"Donna, what's wrong?" Katie asks as she hurries over to her sister.

"I.. I just went over to Brooke's to talk to her and I heard something." the blonde says through her tears.

"You need to calm down first of all." the brunette says as she glances over to the man on her couch.

"Katie, Bill and Brooke are up to no good. I heard them talking about trying to get the company and custody of Will from you. But there is something else you need to know, it has to do with what we discussed earlier." Donna says as she sits on the chair, trying to calm down.

"I don't care what those two do, they won't be getting my son or the company." Katie says getting upset.

"You said there was something else?" Jon asks Donna, having a gut feeling that whatever she knew was important.

"It's about Steffy..." she trails off.

"What about Steffy? Was she behind..." Katie says.

"Yes, she paid off Steffy's doctor to tell her that she couldn't have kids. Brooke figured that Liam would blame her, that he would leave his wife and run to Hope if Steffy couldn't give him kids." Donna says, fresh tears coming to her eyes.

"My God..." Jon and Katie both gasp as they hear what the blonde woman had just said.

Paris

"This is such a great evening. I am glad we decided to go out." Liam says as he smiles at the woman across from him.

"Listen Liam, I need to know that this is it, that I am the one you want. I trust that you love me, but what happens when Hope and her family decided to interfere like they always do?" Steffy says as she lowers her eyes to the table between them.

"They will see how much I love you and that I don't want Hope. I don't care what they do, how many of them try to push me to divorce you again. If you will have me, then you are going to be stuck with me for the rest of your life." he tells her with a smile as he grabs her small hand in his.

Hope is sitting across the street watching the couple as they eat and talk. When she sees Liam grab the other woman's hand she jumps from her car and runs across the street.

"Get your hands off of that bitch Liam!" she yells at him.

Surprised by the sudden appearance of the blonde woman, Liam let's go of Steffy's hand and stands up.

"What are you doing here Hope? I thought I had made it clear that it is over between us." he replies with frustration.

"I know that she has you brain washed. I know that it is me you want to spend your life with, you have told me that so many times." she whines.

"I used to think I did, but then I realized that while I loved you, I was in love with this incredible woman, my wife." he tells her.

"No, you just think you love her because of the baby, the baby she killed because she was so selfish." Hope desperately replies.

"Enough Hope, if you want to discuss this, then we can all meet back at my place. This is not the place for this conversation." Steffy calmly says as she places a hand on the other woman's arm.

"GET YOUR MAN STEALING HANDS OFF ME YOU WHORE!" Hope screams as she pushes Steffy into the table that she had just been sitting at. "You know, I should have pushed you harder that day in your office, maybe then you wouldn't have had the chance to steal Liam away from me once again." she says with venom in her voice and hatred in her eyes.

"Wait, what?" Liam yells as he grabs Hope's arm and spins her to face him.

Looking into Liam's eyes, she slowly says, "I-pushed-that-bitch-while-she-was-pregnant. She was bashing my family and I just wanted her to stop, so I pushed her. Maybe if I pushed her harder. against her desk, she would have lost that damn baby.

Liam releases Hope's arm and turns to help Steffy up. "Stay away from us or I will have you arrested Hope. I am seeing that you are a very violent person and don't want you in my sight." he says with discuss as he tosses down a few bills and walks away with his arm around Steffy.

"I can't believe that woman." Liam says with exasperation.

"Can we just forget about Hopeeeee!" she screams as a car suddenly runs into her, bouncing her off the hood and windshield before her world goes black.
