AN:
I do not own a single thing.
I got a review last chapter that said that they hoped this was a Steam-fic because they could read through anything if Steam was endgame, but they wouldn't read anything where Still or Statt was endgame. This is a Steffy centric-fic and neither of the Spencer boys/men will be in her life as a romantic option, remember what Steffy said while she talked to Stephanie, Steffy´s love life is on hold until she feels it time to bring it forth again, I don't know when that will be, but until then and after, there will be no romantic feelings from Steffy towards any of the Spencer-boys.
Things happen
Chapter four
When Thomas, Steffy and Michala returned home from paint shopping, they were met by Liam waiting for them by the door into Steffy´s apartment.
When he sees what they have with him, he gives the papers to Steffy and helps Thomas carry the heavy paint containers.
"Hi Liam!" Steffy looks him straight into his eyes.
"Hi Steffy!" He looks right back into her eyes, but he can't see anything in them anymore. "I need to talk to you about something."
"I figured, since you're here with some papers." She walks over to the door and unlocks it. She opens the door and Michala walks through it with the roll of floor covering. Thomas follows suit and Liam walks after Thomas and Michala into the baby´s room. He places everything on the floor and sees the boxes with the furniure on the floor. He's then shooed out of the room.
Michala and Thomas starts with the prep work and Liam walks back out into the livingroom to talk to Steffy.
"So, you wanted to talk to me about something." Steffy has made herself comfortable on the couch with a bunch of pillows placed in strategic places.
"Yes, my father and I had a talk a few hours ago and I have decided to sign the second set of papers, giving you full custody, but I have a thought about it. Could we re-evaluate the custody situation in a few years when the child is older and doesn't depend on you so much?" Liam is acting really shy.
"Of course we can. I was never asking you to give up the rights to the baby. You signing those papers has everything to do with me knowing that you want to be a father that is present in the child´s life. I never wanted to tear it away from you. If I wanted to do that, I would've stayed in Paris and raised the child there. This has never been about punishing you in any way, I really didn't care which set of papers you signed, I would've liked to share custody with you, but I also know that you probably have your reasons for signing the second set with the changes to them. I do wish you would've told me that you were getting married instead of me having to find out about it through a magazine anouncing your engagement though. I thought we were more then that." Steffy sends a small smile Liam´s way. "Can I read the papers before I sign them?"
Liam just nods his head. Steffy sets about reading the papers and she doesn't see anything that could bite her in the behind later and that Liam has already signed them.
"I'm going to talk to my lawyers about this and then I'll sign and we'll file after that. I really hope that you are happy where you are Liam. You need to take care of her now! We also need to make a schedule for when you want to see the baby. What you need to remember is that this is your time with the baby and you should never let Hope dictate when you can or can't see your child. I will be easying my way back to work three months after the baby is born for a few hours a week, I have it good in that I can take the baby with me to work if I want to and it should be quite the success. But you need to decide how much visitation you need, do not take Hope into concideration, because as I said, this is your time with your child. I will be there the first few times, after that you are on your own, but I will always be avaliable if you need me in any way."
"Sounds good to me. I think it might depend a little on how much work there is, dead lines and such, those kinds of things."
"Of course, there will also be times where I will need you to take the baby because I need to be somewhere that's workrelated and I can't take it with me. I will always give you a heads up that I will be leaving for a while just so that you can plan accordingly, but I will never just show up and hand the baby over to you and leave. If I need to leave in a hurry, Thomas will more then likely be used as baby sitter until I come back, he's already been talked to about this." As she's saying this Thomas comes out in search of something.
"What have I been talked to about?" He raises his eyebrows.
"If I need to leave quickly to do something for work and what happens to the baby."
"Ah, yes, that bit. In that case I will have the changing bag, apartment keys and baby dropped in my arms." Thomas nods his head.
"What are you looking for?" Then Thomas remembers why he was out there.
"A pair of scissors. We apparently forgot to bring those with us when we marched into the baby´s room!" Steffy gives a small chuckle and leans over the table in front of the couch, finds a pair and waves them in the air.
Thomas walks over and grabs them. "Thank you!"
"What do you want to eat for dinner? I was planning on ordering take out because I so don't want to make dinner." Steffy shouts after Thomas has almost made it to the door into the room that's to be painted.
He opens the door, letting a breeze through letting Steffy know that the windows are open, and asks Michala what she wants.
"Michala wants pizza!" Thomas leans back so that he can see Steffy while he's talking.
"Okej! I'll order some pizza in a few hours, it's been an exhausting day today so I need to take a little nap. Could you check on me a little in two hours or so?" She sees her brother nod his head at her before he once again walks through the door.
"Thank you for stopping by with the new papers and I'll let you know when they're filed. I just have one more question." She looks at him to make sure she has his attention. "Do you want to be there when the baby is born? I'd rather not have any Logan´s present, but if you and Bill would like to you are both welcome to be there. Mom and dad are flying out the Friday before my due date so that they're here when the baby comes."
"I'm pretty sure dad wants to be there and I'd love to be there myself. Do you have anymore appointments left before the birth?"
"I have an appointment next week just to check some blood work and stuff like that, not really anything fun to be there for." Steffy gives a smile. "But I have ultrasound pictures if you want to see them while you wait for the delivery."
"That would be nice!" So she gets up off the couch and walks over to the baby book laying on the sideboard.
She looks it over and finds what she's looking for.
"Here!" She hands a memorystick over to him. "You can keep that, there are just ultrasound pictures, some segments of the baby moving during the ultrasounds and some files that has the heart beat in it. I have one of my own. They're named after what date the ultrasound was, the latest ones being my doctors appointment in New York last week."
He gets up off the couch and then takes the memory stick, gives her a hug then he leaves after saying good bye.
~Things happen~
What her mother had said just before she left had caused Hope to think about her marriage. It had taken Liam almost three months to commit to her after Steffy left, five months after Steffy left Liam still hadn't asked Hope to marry him. When Hope had told him that she didn't believe him after Rick and Othello lied about seeing Steffy and Liam kissing the night before, Liam had fought tooth and nail for three weeks before he had given up, two weeks after that, he and Steffy were reconnecting, when the three month mark was crossed, Steffy was already living with Liam again and she had gotten pregnant with his baby.
Hope was strangely hurt that it had been so easy for Steffy and Liam to just fall back into the routine they had before they got divorced compared to the work she and Liam had to do every time they were together and the fact that they could never just enjoy being with each other. She thought she understood that relationships take work, but the role models she had had growing up really weren't that great.
Growing up in her mothers house, maybe she felt like reassurement was love and she felt like Liam didn't give her any of that and therefore, she had run every time things didn't go the way she wanted it to in her relationship with him. Then when she saw him be so tactile with Steffy, she felt like he had been keeping himself from her and keeping what she needed from him from her. The small touches that Steffy seemed to get anytime without even asking for them and he just gave without expecting anything back.
So she had decided that she needed to go talk to Liam and let him know what she needed from him and for him to tell her what he needed from her. So she packed up her suitcases again, loaded up the car and drove to the beach house to wait for Liam there.
~Things happen~
When he walked through the frontdoor of his house after leaving Steffy´s apartment, he saw that his wifes suitcases were back and that they were empty. He walks over to the guest bedroom and looks through the door.
"So, why are you back?"
"My mom said something that made me think about the reasons behind my actions during our relationship. I have realized what it is that I've been missing in this relationship and the way I came to that realization is that I looked at how you've behaved together with me versus how you behaved together with Steffy. What I need from you are those little touches of reassurance that you seemed to give Steffy without hesitation, the reassurance that you are actually with me in everything and that nothing else matters."
"Well, you know what I need in this relationship? I need to know that what we're it, that you feel like we're it, because at the moment, I don't feel that from you and if I don't feel it from you, why should I give you what you need when you won't give me what I need. I need to be absolutely sure that this marriage is something that you want because of the love we share, not because you want to win over Steffy and that's what I've felt ever since Steffy and I divorced."
He gives a big sigh.
"It's actually what I've felt ever since you and I made love for the first time before Steffy and I were even divorced. I need to feel that our love is more important to you than your hatred towards Steffy and your need to win over her. We need to be more important than Steffy and your actions yesterday and this morning tells me that we're not important to you. Because if we were, you wouldn't have had such a strong reaction to the custody papers that you had. For me to be sure enough in this realtionship to give those small touches and the reassurance you say you get from those touches, I need to feel that you are completely in this with me. Right now I don't and it's not my issues causing this divide in our relationship."
Hope nods her head.
"Yeah, I realize that I haven't been the most supportive or loving girlfriend, fiance or wife and I have taken the issues we've faced way to far and let my trust issues take the better of me. Have you decided yet?"
"I have actually, I talked to my father around lunch and he gave me a talking to about somethings and I realized that it's best for the baby if Steffy has full custody right now, so I've signed the second set of papers, but with a few added things. In a few years time we're going to reexamine the custody situation and start sharing know this, I did not sign those papers for you, I signed them for my baby! Giving us the chance to fix our relationship or what ever we decide to do, while the child is in a safe place. Steffy is going to talk to her lawyers and then sign the revised papers and then it'll be done for the time being. I asked her if there were any more doctor visits left and there is one, but it's a five minute blood test, a blood preasure test and a measurement of her belly and she felt like that wouldn't be the most fun to come to. She asked if I want to be with her in the deliveryroom and then told me that she doesn't want you or any of the Logan women there."
"Of course you're not going to be there for the delivery, I can't see any reasons for you to be there." She blurts out and when she looks his way, she can tell by the look on his face that it was the wrong thing to say.
"I'm sorry, what did you just say? This is the birth of my first child we're talking about. Really? You're going there again?" He holds his hands up in defeat. "You want me to miss the birth of my first child because you can't see any reason for me to be there? You know what? I'm starting to understand Steffy´s request that you not be there."
He then walks over to the kitchen and starts making dinner, not talking to her at all for the rest of the day and she realizes that she has more then likely stepped over a boundry that they may not come back from. But instead of running to her mother as her initial instinct told her to, she took her bags and placed them in the guest bedroom.
~Things happen~
August 18th 2013
Eric Forrester had been asleep when his wife came home the night before after visiting their granddaughter and so he hadn't heard anything of what was going on. In fact he had not even learned of Steffy´s pregnancy yet.
He had never been involved in the Social Media part of the bussiness and he probably never would be. He liked to be informed face to face and he felt like Social Media was taking away the oportunity to meet people like you had to when he first started in the business. Now a days customers or their stylists reached out to them through Twitter describing what they needed for an event, a red carpet, a movie premiere or just a business party. Eric deeply missed the times where his clientel came for fittings and the final photo shoot for his personal album.
The dresses that were created specifically for someone was what he lived for now. Ridge had taken over designing the collections and Eric had moved on to special orders, but he knew that some time soon, he was going to have to let go of this part of the business as well, because he knew that there was something that wasn't quite right with him these days.
He and Stephanie had won her battle with cancer, but he had this sinking feeling that their fight wasn't over just yet and the tests results he would be getting this afternoon was going to determine his future. He knew that Stephanie could probably tell that he wasn't who he used to be. Walking up the stairs to their bedroom was taking his breath away and he was losing energy faster then he had before. He was calling a meeting on Monday to tell the family what was going on, hopefully he wouldn't be gone for long. Hopefully it was just his age making itself known, but he could feel it in his bones that it wasn't just as simple as that.
Stephanie started stirring beside him and when she opened her eyes she sees little teardrops falling lightly down her husbands cheeks.
"Hey, you'll be fine! Nothing to worry about!" He gives her a small smile and a kiss on her forehead.
"So, how's our granddaughter doing?" Stephanie´s eyes starts to sparkle.
"You need to talk to her yourself, she's got some news that I think will make you very happy!"
"Really? What might that be?" The curiosity evident in Eric´s voice.
"Just go see her. Tell you what, we'll go see her after we've been to the doctor." Stephanie get´s out of the bed and goes into the bathroom.
When she returns she's got a pair of pants and a blouse with her.
"You'd better go and get ready!"
Four hours later, they are standing outside of Steffy´s apartment and knocking on the door. The test results had showed them what he already knew to be true and the only thing in Stephanie´s mind that could potentially cheer him up was meeting Steffy and letting her show him her news.
The woman who comes to open the door however is not their granddaughter.
"Hi Mrs Forrester! Mr Forrester!" Michala can see that there is something going on with them. "I take it you're here to see Steffy?"
She turns to Stephanie to ask a silent question to which Stephanie shakes her head in response, Michala nods her head.
"Steffy!" Michala calls out.
"Yeah? Who was at the door?"
"Your grandparents!"
"Ooh, granddads here?" At the positive response Michala gives her, Steffy walks out of the baby´s room where she's been checking out the mural Thomas has started on.
Just as she turns the corner dividing the hallway from the kitchen, a big gasp is heard and the look on Eric´s face when he sees her belly is priceless. All the worries left his face as surprise took him over and then the surprise was replaced with joy.
"You're pregnant! How did that happen? No, of course I know how that happens. But you weren't pregnant when you left!" Eric then sees the guilt on Steffy´s face. "You were? Did you know?"
"Yes, I found out about two hours before the plane took off." Steffy tilts her head a little.
"Why am I only finding out about this now? Does Liam know? If so, when did he find out?"
"I chose to keep it to myself for as long as I could, the office in Paris found out pretty soon, mom knew when she left for Paris two months after me because she found the test I took. Dad could see it on my face that there was something going on the moment I came to Paris when he picked me up at the airport. Liam found out yesterday when Thomas posted a picture on Instagram."
"Why didn't Liam know before yesteday?" Eric is confused so Stephanie steps in.
"Well, you know, it's hard finding out that your boyfriend is marrying another woman by looking at a magazine cover. Steffy stayed in Paris because she knew that LA would be way to stressfull for the pregnancy and in doing so, Liam deemed their relationship not important enough to warrant a phone call to tell Steffy that he was going to ask another woman to marry him. Steffy made the right choice in staying in Paris. Liam made the wrong choice when he decided that their relationship wasn't important enough to him. Has he signed the papers yet?" She turns from her husband to her granddaughter at the question.
"He has signed the papers. The second set with a few additions. Bill apparently made some good points and gave a few suggestions that lead to him adding that we will reexamine the custody agreement in a few years. I have full custody now and then in a few years, we'll look at our situation and see if shared custody is a possibillity. But as it stands today I will have full custody of the baby. When it comes to big decisions Liam will be involved, but the day to day is all me." Stephanie approves. Then Eric asks the big question.
"Why didn't you tell Liam about the baby before you left?" Once again, someone else answers for her.
"Because catching him and Hope making out on their bed through the window only an hour before take off was a subject she didn't want to handle right then." Eric just nods his head at Michala´s explanation.
Steffy reaches out her hand to her grandfather and he takes it, she turns it over and places it on her belly. The baby had been very active all day and it was a welcome feeling, on the trip from Paris it hadn't been and it had made her a little worried, but the moment she stepped off the train the baby had been kicking up a storm in her belly with only a few periods of time where it was sleeping.
"Hey!" Thomas exclaims and everyone including Steffy looks at him with a question on their faces. "Do you know what you're having? Boy or girl?"
Steffy gives a big smile.
"No, I don't. I mean, it's in my file, but I have no idea. There's this feeling in my gut that it's a girl though, but I haven't dared finding out before hand. I think I might have decided to keep it as a surprise so that Liam finds out something about the baby at the same time I do."
"If it was unintentional so that Liam could find out at the same time you do that's a good idea." Everyone agreed with Stephanie´s statement.
"So, how long until the baby comes?" Eric moves the subject back to the baby.
"I'm 37 weeks and 5 days, so about 2 more weeks. I'll come back to work for a few hours some days during the week when the baby is about four months, I'll be bringing the baby to work with me because I know I'm a bit of a workaholic and having the baby somewhere else would not be a good idea, not for me or the baby." Steffy sends off a smile and then she notices that her granddad isn't quite as alert as he used to be. "What's wrong?"
"What do you mean?" Thomas questions his sister.
"Well, look at him. Where's all the strenght gone? He's changed so much since I saw him last. He's lost a ton of weight and the spark in his eyes isn't there anymore." This statement causes Thomas to really look at Eric. Since he had stayed in LA, he hadn't seen the changes happen, but when he looks at him now, he can see everything his sister has pointed out.
Eric turns his head towards his wife.
"We came straight here from the doctors office. Eric will have a meeting at the company on Monday." Stephanie sighs.
~Things happen~
Wyatt Fuller had been following Forrester Creations Instagram for two years now because it gave his mothers company an edge in the industry as she then could design pieces that would look good with the designs that Forrester Creations came out with. It's also the way he found out that his halfbrother´s wife´s ex stepsister was back in LA and that she was pregnant. With his halfbrothers baby.
He had listened to Hope complain about Steffy for months now and he figured he should form an opinion about the woman on his own before joining in and the woman he'd been told about didn't really match up with what had been happening since she came back. According to Hope, Steffy would've been reminicing about the past with Liam on his couch by now and especially now that there's a baby coming. It just didn't match up at all and so he thought that maybe Steffy wasn't at all what Hope had been saying she was. It was actually more and more matching up to what Liam, Bill and Thomas had been saying about her. Sure, Liam and Steffy getting married in Aspen had been a manipulation, but Liam didn't have to marry Steffy especially if he still wanted to marry Hope after she left the ring on the mantle.
He figured there was only one way to find out and that way was to go see Steffy himself. So here he was, standing outside an apartment that had been bought as a love nest for Steffy and Bill. He knocks on the door and a woman opens up.
"Hi!" He gives a smile.
"Hi! Who are you?" The woman looks at him sceptically.
"I'm Wyatt Fuller, Liam´s big brother. I was wondering if Steffy was home?"
"If you are here to tell her to stay away from Liam, you're not welcome, if you are here to get to know the woman carrying your brother´s baby, come on in. We're about to start dinner." The woman opens the door a little more to let him in.
He follows her into the kitchen where Steffy is currently cutting up tomatoes for the burgers. Steffy looks up and is caught in a pair of brown eyes and a shy smile. Steffy raises her eyebrows as she turns to Michala.
"This is Wyatt Fuller. Liam´s big brother. He came to see you." Michala smiles.
"Okej. Can you help with dinner?" Steffy directs the question to Wyatt.
"Sure, what can I do?"
"Michala is going to set the table. Could you fry up the tomato slizes that are thicker then the others on the stove? Michala is more vegetarian then meat eater and she wanted tomatoes as her burgers today. The frying pan is already heating up. Just mix some flour with salt, pepper, basil and paprika then you dip the slizes in it and then place them in the pan and get some color on them and they should be good. Thomas is outside taking care of the grill. I'm just going to cut up the red onion and then we should be done." Steffy instructs and Wyatt goes to work.
Five minutes later, Thomas walks through the door to the balcony and it's time to eat.
Michala bites through her 'burger'.
"What have you done with these? It's amazing."
"I did what Steffy told me to do." Wyatt just shrugs his shoulders.
There's a knock on the door and Michala goes to answer it.
"Hello Mr Spencer! How are you doing?" There's joy in Michala´s voice as she's talking to Bill.
"Hello Ms James! I'm good, how about you?" The joy replicating in Bill´s voice.
"Well, yesterday started off with an assault, but after that it got better!"
"I'm sorry what?" Bill pulls back in surprise.
"Well, a certain Ms Brooke Logan thought that showing up here and slapping Steffy was a good way to start the day. Thankfully I'm the one who got slapped and Steffy stayed sleeping. Ms Logan got the riot act told and she was not happy when I threatened to call the police on her if she didn't leave. I think she had a lot to talk to her daughter about when she left. Liam came over and talked to Steffy for a bit while Thomas and I painted the baby´s room and then today Mr and Mrs Forrester came over for a bit and they had some not pleasant news and now we're eating dinner together with your son."
"What? Brooke thought it would be okej for her to slap a pregnant woman? If so I must say thank you for opening the door in Steffy´s place." Then the last statement register. "Is Liam here? I thought he had gone home to talk to Hope."
"Well, Steffy was still sleeping and I had no intention of waking her up before she woke up , Liam hasn't been back since he left yesterday, but Wyatt is here. He came by to spend time with the mother of his brothers baby. They seem to be getting along really well." Michala says with a secretive smile on her lips.
"Oh, he is? Goody!" Bill seems happy about it.
So they walk into the kitchen area and sees the two siblings and Wyatt in a heated discussion in regards to wether Cinderella, Snow White or Sleeping beauty is the best Disney movie ever made.
Bill gives a laugh and Michala laughs with him. Then Bill thinks to himself, maybe it's not to late to have Steffy as a part of the family aside from her role as the mother of his grandchild.
Steffy looks over at her baby´s grandfather.
"Good evening Bill! How are you?" She gets up from the chair and walks over to give Bill a hug. He kisses the top of her head in respons.
"I'm good. Michala told me that Liam stopped by. How did that go?" Bill gives her an extra hug before letting her go.
"It went fine, he's already signed the papers, I just need to talk to my lawyers about them and then it should be fine. I would have brought up him receiving shared custody in a few years had he signed over full custody to me either way so it didn't bother me one bit that he added that as a clause. What was these points that you made for him to choose to give me full custody?"
"I asked him who he trusted more. You not leaving and taking the child with you in case you got full custody or Hope in the event that she had to care for the child in case Liam gets called in during an argument. The option that was closer to the one he trusted the most is the option he chose."
Wyatt huffs. "Are you saying that Hope could potentially hurt the baby if she was placed in a position where she has to care for the child?"
Both Bill and Steffy nods their heads in sadness.
"That really doesn't sound like the Hope I've come to know her as."
"Have you ever been around Hope when I've been around?" Wyatt shakes his head. "When ever I'm around, she gets violent and I really don't want to find out how she'd react if she had to take care of Liam´s first born child with another woman after they have argued. I really don't. I've never been the issue in their relationship, I may have brought it to the surface, but I as a person is not the issue. She doesn't trust him or their love for each other, otherwise they would've been married years ago. Her not trusting in their love is the reason this baby is growing in my belly." Steffy explains.
Bill, Thomas and Michala all nod at this statement causing worry to spread across Wyatt´s face. He really didn't think that Hope could be extreme to the point where Steffy would not think her child would be safe in the presence of Hope, but on the other hand, if three other people thought the same, out of which one was the girls father in law and one was the girls ex-boyfriend as well as her ex step brother, maybe there was truth to the statement. He'd just have to see what happens when they're around each other.
~Things happen~
The next few weeks were spent washing baby clothes, putting together furniture, spending precious time with Eric before the earth reclaims him, he had been given a year and spending time with family was at the top of his wish list.
He had talked to his lawyers about dividing up his shares and they had decided that Bridget and Rick would share the twelve and a half percent that were left. Giving eight percent to Rick and four and a half to Bridget, giving Rick more as he was involved in the company and Bridget had found a career outside of the family company. Some people might think that that divide would cause a divide within the family or atleast between Rick and Bridget, but they had both been either at the meeting or if they couldn't be because of living out of state and they both agreed that it was a good split between them. Yes, Kristen, Thorne and Felicia were going to get a bigger percentage then both Rick and Bridget, but they were all three children of the founders of the company and that held some merit.
~Things happen~
A week before her due date, Steffy started feeling contractions, they weren't strong or close, but they were noticable. Two days after the first contraction came, they were gaining strength and were coming closer together leading Steffy to think that she was going into labor, so she tells Michala and she in turn tells Thomas and Liam.
She works through them as much as she can while still being home, but when the contractions start to flow into each other, she decides that it's time to go to the hospital, just to be sure that if something were to happen, she'd have people around her that knew what to do.
Twenty minutes after she arrived at the hospital just after the clock struck 0:04 am on Thursday September fifth 2013, as she holds Thomas and Liam´s hands in hers, her and Liam´s baby was born, 20 inches tall and seven and half pounds light.
Looking into those baby blues that reminded her so much of her mothers eyes she once again falls in love with a Spencer.
~Things happen~
They don't notice when Thomas leaves the room to call their parents, all they see is this tiny little baby laying in Steffy´s arms with it's hands tucked under it's chin.
Outside in the hallway though, Thomas has just hung up the phone with Bill and is about to call his mother. They had decided not to tell any of the grandparents before the baby was born when the contractions started.
It takes her a few rings to answer.
"Hi Thomas! How are things on the other side of the Atlantic?" There's a smile in his mothers voice.
"Well, we've got someone who needs to be introduced to you and dad , so if you'd come on a plane across the same Atlantic, maybe you can see how things are over here?" Thomas says with a chuckle.
"Are you serious? The baby is here?" Thomas gives a positive respond to both questions. "When? How long did it take?"
"Just about twenty minutes ago, I slipped out from the room to give them some time to bond with the baby and Steffy has been feeling contractions for the last two days, but yesterday around noon, they started to become stronger and closer together, she stayed home until about a little over an hour ago and then we came to the hospital and were here for twenty minutes and then the baby came out. Twenty inches tall and seven and a half pounds light." The pride is shining through everything he says.
"So, is it a boy or a girl?" Taylor asks.
"I think you'll have to come to LA to find that out!" Thomas says with a little mystery in his voice.
"We'll try to change the tickets so that we leave today then. Have you talked to your father yet?"
"No, I just hung up with Bill to let him know the baby was here. I was going to call him after I hang up with you."
"Okej. You do that. Tell Steffy and Liam congratulations from me and that I'll see her in however many hours."
"Sure mom, I'll do that!" They then talk a little bit more and then hang up.
He decides to check on Steffy, Liam and the baby before calling his father. When he comes into the room, he sees that the baby is sleeping and Steffy holds her hand out for him to come to her. So he walks over and gives his sister a hug over the baby and then silently high fives Liam and then looks at the baby.

So, is it a boy or a girl? What do you think?
