AN: So, I've decided to put my writing ability to the test and use the spoilers of the week and write my version of what's going to happen and then post that story the week after it's aired and let my readers decide if it's better or worse than what's been shown on the tv and I am starting with next weeks spoilers meaning the week of May 18th with a preview of some selected spoilers of week 11th. I will try to do this regularly, but I can't promise to do it every week. Let me know if you think this might be a good idea!
I'm not a US citizen and I have never gone to school in the US. So I won't name any schools , but it is a school in New York. Hope has just turned 20 a few months ago and Derric has turned 24. He's that age because he was born 4 years before Hope on the show. Now, I've had to age a few characters because it just wouldn't make sense and I couldn't keep Hope on the show without aging her. Rick and Bridget has also been de-aged to fit with the story.
Okey, so just to clarify one thing. Ronn Moss is my Ridge.
The fall of 2012, New York City
Hope Logan Sharpe had decided that New York was the state for her when she would go to college, because
It was far away from her family.
They knew people over there so she wouldn't be totally alone. Since meeting her older brother about two months ago though, she knew all she had to do was ask him and he'd follow her anywhere.
So that's what she did and now they had moved into a three bedroom apartment in Brooklyn and she was starting university in a few days. She'd already been to orientation and she knew practically every inch of the University after walking around there and searching for where her classes would be and she'd take classes in design and business making it a double major so that she'd be able to work in the family business when she's done.
Derric had also elected to take a few classes with her in the business part as well as take a few law classes. As it would be, he also met a classmate that in the end would take up the third bedroom in their appartment.
Caroline Spencer was a 23 year old New York native that was living with her parents when she met Derric and Hope and it turned out that she had a connection to Hopes family in LA, since her uncle was Bill Spencer and her mother co-owns Spencer Publications with said Bill Spencer, who's married Hopes aunt.
University and school turns out to be exactly what all three of them need, of course Brooke is worried about her daughter, but having met Derric, she knows that he'll take care of her little girl and when she found out that they had formed a connection with Karen Spencer through her daughter, she felt a whole lot calmer because she'd always liked Karen Spencer and the two of them kept in contact during all of Hopes University career.
About halfway through Hopes second year, the third bedroom in their apartment became vacant again when Caroline moved in with Derric in his room. It came as a bit of a surprise because Hope hadn't noticed a thing. A phone call with her mother had relieved also that the clan was growing once again, on three fronts actually, Thomas and Abby was having their second baby in a few months, Rick and Lannie had announced that they were pregnant the night before and just as she was about to hang up with her mother, her older sister came through her mothers door and announced that she and Zach were having their third child in 7 months.
Christmas 2013
That Christmas all three of the roommates went to LA with Karen and Danielle to celebrate Christmas with the clan and it had some surprises coming. The biggest one was when Felicia walked through the door clearly pregnant, with her son and with a companion that some people there would've preferred to have never seen again.
Derric, Hope and Caroline were sitting on the couch with a clear view of the door, Thomas and Abby were occupying a chair with Abby spending quality knee-time in her husbands lap and rubbing her pregnant belly while Christopher was running around them in a circle since he'd just realized that he could run, having just learned to walk eleven months ago. The three Marone-siblings were playing tag with their cousins Jennifer and Logan with Ronya joining in from time to time, her toddling about having just learned to walk five months ago. Liam, Steffy, Wyatt and Lillie came through the door with their brood and about twenty minutes after that, Felicia, Dino and the man walked through the door. Brooke was the first to notice them and she almost fainted because of it.
"Deacon! What are you doing here?" Deacon looks towards the voice and sees Bridget looking at him.
"Well, my wife wanted to spend Christmas with her family seeing as she's pregnant and all. Apparently you've all found my oldest child as well. Hi Derric! It's been a while." Derric waves his hand in response and then kisses his girlfriends forehead.
Felicia and Deacon had met while Felicia and Dino was going on a round trip in Italy. And they connected in a way that they probably shouldn't have because of Deacons past with the family, but it happened and when they came back to the states, they moved into a home in Dallas Texas and they are now 6 months pregnant with a baby girl that they were naming Stephanie Rebecca after two very important women in their life.
The rest of the Christmas dinner went by without a hitch and everyone seemed to accept Deacon as a part of their family and Hope got to know her father and she got to see her mother take a step back and realize that keeping Hope from knowing her father had been a wrong choice on her part.
WTROJAD
A year and a half later.
It's time for Hopes graduation and the entire clan comes to see her graduate, well, almost all of them. Steffy and Liam stays back because with Steffy being almost nine months pregnant a trip to New York didn't seem like a good idea so they are staying back home. But the rest came to see it.
She had had the best time of her life and it had been four glorious years. She was going to miss all the people that she'd met and going to school, but she longed to start working and getting home to see her nieces and nephews grow up, since she'd been away for most of their lives.
Rick and Lannie had a beautiful little boy that they named Michael Jackson, Bridget and Zach had another daughter which they named Shannon Elizabeth and Thomas and Abby had a daughter that they named Ashley Marianne. During the time she'd been away Phoebe and Kimberly had gotten married, had a baby girl and then had a baby boy, they named them Macy Taylor and Alexander Ridge. Thorne and Quinn had gotten married as had Storm and Kelly. Hope had let herself fall for Peter and consequently, they were now a couple, Peter will be asking the question that night and after that, Hope will announce the little life that's growing in her belly, neither one knows about the others plan yet though.
Turns out, everybody is happy and healthy.
The End
AN:
I'm writing this with a head ache and we have now entered May/June of 2015 and that's where the show is right now and I felt like this would be the perfect place to end this story. As I said in the beginning I have a new idea that I want to focus on and so that's what I'm doing. Another reason why I'm choosing to end this now is because quite frankly that I've grown tired of it. FmG:OLAWKI is demanding a lot of my attention and this new challenge just didn't leave enough room for this one to go on, so I did a few time jumps and I hope it's okey with all of you who reads this story. Let me know otherwise! If someone wants to continue the story, let me know that too..
