Chapter 7
Brooke's House
Hearing the doorbell, Brooke slowly rises from her spot on the couch. She smiles as she opens the door to see her eldest daughter and her grandson standing there. "Come in Bridgette, set your stuff down. And you, my handsome grandson, how are you?" she says as she picks Logan up.
"Hi gamma, I good." the young boy replies.
Bridgett and Brooke share a look before turning back to the young boy in Brooke's arms. "I think it is time for a nap my little man." the younger woman says, with a wink and a kiss. Bridgett takes her son and starts to the stairs. "Do we still have the kids room?" She asks her mother.
"Yes, it is the same room. I will get us a glass of wine while I wait." With a smile and a nod, the younger woman continues up the stairs with young boy in her arms.
Aspen
As Steffy and Liam are leaving the hospital, Steffy turns on her phone and sees that she has numerous text messages and voice mails. She decides that she will deal with the texts on their way home and deal with the voice mails later.
The first text is from her mother. "Steffy what is going on? I am worried."
She replies, "Mom, I am fine. Liam is here with me. I will explain more later."
The next message is from Thomas, "I know what happened between you and Liam up there sis, I am not sure it is a good idea that he is up there now. He is engaged to Hope." She replies, "Thomas, trust me when I tell you that it is a good thing Liam is up here. And I know he is engaged to Hope, for now..."
"Steffy, what exactly is going on up there? I am hearing all sorts of tidbits. Call me!" Bill demands. She sighs, not wanting to deal with her father-in-law and is glad when she looks up to see they are back at the compound.
Salt Lake City International Airport
Hope impatiently waits in line to bored the plane. Tapping her foot, getting angrier by the second as she imagines what is happening Aspen. Finally it is her turn to board the plane, she takes her seat in first class. Once everyone has taken their seats and the plane is in the air, a stewardess named Cathy, comes to ask if Hope needed anything.
"I would love some champagne." she tells Cathy. "Oh and a hot cloth please." she adds before the other woman can walk away. Once settled with her drink and the hot wash cloth, that lays, resting over her eyes, she sits, and again begins to imagine what is happening in Aspen with Liam and Steffy. "God I hate that woman." she says to herself. "I wish she would just disappear or something." she adds, exasperation heavy in her voice
Brooke's Estate
I really am worried about Hope mom. She seemed so... Off. It was like she was in another world." Bridgett says to her mother.
"This stays between us, but Hope has been taking anti-anxiety pills, I think she is getting too much into them though. And Steffy is the reason for this, her using her body to try to lure Liam away from Hope."
"Mom, if Liam wants only Hope than Steffy wouldn't have a chance."
"How can you say that? You know that is Logan woman find the men we are destined to be with and we get them. We have never lost our men's..." She is cut off
"Mom, get a grip will you. I really thought that Nick was the one for me. Yet it never worked out cause you and Nick were always in love and I couldn't compare. But this conversation is about Hope. What do you think is going to happen if she doesn't find what she is looking for?"
Aspen
"You know, I was so shocked when you ripped those papers up. It was one of the most romantic moments in my life, and you made it more so when you kissed me. I thought I was in heaven."Steffy say as she looks into her hot chocolate.
"I needed you to know that our marriage meant something to me, in fact it means more than you know. I am still in love with you Steffy. I am glad that we have a child growing inside you." He replies as he places a hand on her still flat stomach.
A little bit away from the happy couple come a gasp.

"I can't believe that you are finally home young lady. This is going to be perfect and I know it, though have you seen your father yet?" Stephanie asks.

"Well,well. How have you been sweetie? We got your sketches and they are great We are in talks to start a line around you." Stephanie says as she puts her arm around her fiery haired granddaughter.
