Chapter 13

Viki were playing with Bree along with Natalie and Jared when they heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it," volunteered Natalie. She went to the door and was shocked when she saw Jessica, along with Dr. Levin.

"Jess, Dr. Levin," she said. "What's going on?" she asked stepping aside to let them in. Viki walked in the hallway to see what was going on.

"Dr. Levin. Is there something wrong?" she asked, looking confused as why he was with Jessica as she didn't have an appointment.

"We just found out something that may interest you," said Dr. Levin.

"Okay, can somebody tell me what is going on here?" asked Natalie.

"I just remembered fully of what happened that night I had Chloe, and it's both good and bad," Jessica said, in a straight tone. She took a deep breath and said, "That baby in there isn't Chloe. It's Starr and Cole's baby girl, Hope." Viki and Natalie just both looked confused and surprised.

"That can be," said Natalie. "Starr and Cole's baby girl died, all because of Todd."

"No, it's all Bess's fault," she said. Viki suggested that they all head into the front room to talk about this. They all agreed. Jared was still playing with the girls when the women and Dr. Levin walked in.

"Um, is there a therapy session happening that I didn't know about?" Jared asked, confused.

"Jess finally remembered something, but can you first take the girls to Lois, and ask her to keep an eye on them?" asked Viki.

"Sure," he said, picking up Chloe.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" asked Bree.

Jessica knew that it was going to Bree apart, but she didn't need to hear it this way. "Don't worry, Bree, honey. I'll explain it to you later. Just go with Uncle Jared right now, and help Lois take care of Chloe," she said. Bree nodded, and followed Jared out of the room.

Once Jared was back, Jessica explained about what she remembered, about Tess giving birth to a stillborn baby, Bess emerging, and taking the stillborn baby out of the cottage, and walking in to the hospital, and going into Dr. Joplin's office and replacing the stillborn baby with Hope, who they know as Chloe. When she finished, everyone was in shock.

"Oh my," said Viki. "We've had Hope for all this time?"

"Yeah," said Jess. "And I know this is going to sound weird, but I'm glad that Tess didn't stop believing that it wasn't my baby, because we now know it isn't."

Natalie was the most silent one. Finally, she spoke up. "Well, we do have to tell Starr and Cole, because they need to know this, since it's their baby."

"Yeah, but, Starr may not believe it, as she and her family saw their baby that was yours being buried," Jared pointed out.

"Well, then why don't we get a DNA test done, just to be safe?" suggested Viki.

"That would be good, but we don't have anything with Starr's DNA on it," said Jessica. "Plus we need something with Cole's DNA as well."

"That means we are going to tell two more people," said Viki. "And I think I know the best ones to tell this." Viki explained who, and they all agreed to do it in the morning. Dr. Levin headed out, with promising that he will return in the morning to check on Jessica. And the rest of the family headed upstairs to bed.

The next day, at school, Starr was back to herself, but still couldn't get that connection off her mind.

"Hey, Starr are you okay?" asked Markko, who walked up behind her. Starr jumped a little.

"Oh, Markko," she said. "I'm doing a little better."

"But," Markko added, knowing that there was more. Starr sighed, knowing that she couldn't hide anything from her friends. "I just can't seem to get that strong connection off my mind," she admitted.

"It's bothering you that bad, huh?" asked Markko.

"Yeah, it's like my heart is telling me to act on this connection," said Starr.

"Well, it couldn't hurt to listen to it, I mean it helped you find Cole and got him back when you were going to lose him again," Markko pointed out.

"True, although my head is telling me that we better get to class, otherwise, we are going to be in trouble, and Cole and Langston are going to be wondering where we are," Starr said with a little laugh.

"True," said Markko. Starr got her stuff, and she and Markko headed off to class.

Over at La Boulaie, Blair had just gotten back to dropping off Jack at school. She was just hanging her coat and about to head in the front room when she heard the doorbell rang.

"I got it," she called. Blair opened the door, revealing Viki.

"Viki, hey, what's up?" asked Blair.

"I need to talk to you in private if you don't mind," said Viki.

"Oh, sure, let's go in the front room," Blair suggested, moving out of the way to let Viki in. They headed in the front room, with Blair closing the doors.

At the same time over at the Buchanan mansion, Nora was getting ready to have a good day off when Natalie walked in the house. "Nora, hey, it's good that I caught you."

"Natalie, what's wrong, you look like you know something big just happened," said Nora.

"That's because it did," said Natalie. She looked around to make sure that no one was looking or overhearing, and then said. "We have a sneaky suspicion that there may have been a baby switch.

"What? How do you know this?" asked Nora.

"Because it involves Starr and Cole's baby girl; and Jessica's little one as well." Nora looked a little confused, but then put two and two together. "Oh my god, no way," she said.

Back at La Boulaie, Viki had just said the same thing to Blair. Blair was shocked by that news as well. "But why do you guys think this?"

"Because Jessica saw it when she was trying to remember what that night yesterday," said Viki.

"Well, that would explain why she asked Starr to keep an eye on her girls," said Blair.

"Yeah, plus Starr told me about a strong feeling she had when she held Chloe," said Viki.

"Yeah, she told me about that as well," said Blair. "It was bothering so much that I sent her up to bed early to rest last night."

"Well, anyway, if we do have Starr's baby, we do need to give it back to her and Cole, and the only way we can do that if we get a DNA test. We just need something from both of them, and Natalie is taking care of getting something of Cole from Nora."

"Well, I think we can do that. There's a hairbrush with Starr's hair in it that we can use."

"Well, lets get it, because the quicker we can get this figured out, the better," said Viki.

"I agree," said Blair, and they headed upstairs to get the brush.

"Well, we have to tell them that it could be a possibility," said Nora. Natalie had just explaining of what Jessica found out, except for the connection which she had no knowledge about.

"Yeah, but we want to make certain before we spread any rumors, which is why we need something with Cole's DNA," said Natalie.

"Well, the only thing I can suggest is his toothbrush," Nora suggested.

"That's perfect," said Natalie. I'll run upstairs and get it."

"Okay, but hey, call me when you get the results," said Nora.

No problem," promised Natalie, and she went upstairs to get Cole's toothbrush. Nora thought to herself, that if Starr's and Coe's baby was still alive, it would be a miracle, though it will also be sad, as they will know that Jessica's baby was the one that was buried.

"Thanks, Blair," said Viki, holding a plastic bag with some of Starr's hair in it.

"Hey, just call me when you find out," said Blair.

"No problem," said Viki, and she headed out to meet with the others.

(A/N: Its going to be either going to be one chapter or two until when Starr and the others learn about Hope being alive. Stay tuned. And let's get some reviews on here you guys.)
