Chapter 15:
As Hope lays in Bill's strong arms the realization of what they just did starts to sink in. She jumps up grabbing her clothes and putting them on as fast as she can, "Oh my GOD! I can't believe what we just did." Bill starting to get dressed too now realizing how badly he has betrayed his son
"What have we done?! I can't believe I did this to my son again!"
"I swore to Liam I would never do this to him, that I would never betray him this way."
Bill panicked looks at Hope, "We can never tell Liam we did this."
"Absolutely not! He can never know." Hope agrees as the infidelity pact has come to an agreement. "I have to go."
"That's a good idea." Bill says averting his eyes away from Hope.
As Hope gets into her car she thinks about what she just did. Her mind flashes to her passionate love making with Bill. She tries to think who she can talk to, "I have to go see my dad." Hope quickly drives to Deacon's restaurant. Hope goes into the bar area and sees Hollis behind the bar. She quickly walks up to it, "Hollis, have you seen my dad?" Hope says in a panic.
"He's not in today, I'm not sure where he is. I can call him for you if you want." He notices she looks frazzled.
Hope lets out a frustrated sigh, "No it's fine," She turns to look at Hollis, "Can I get a glass of wine?"
"Of course," Hollis sweetly says noting how much she looks like her mother, "Red or white?"
"White," Hope says taking a seat, "And pour yourself one on me, I don't really feel like drinking alone." Hope smiles at him.
A few hours later Hope and Hollis are laughing, feeling a little tipsy. "You know," Hope says slurring her words, "I always thought you were handsome." Hollis can't help but be flattered that a young beautiful high society woman is calling him handsome.
"Well obviously I've always thought you were beautiful." They both smile at each other, Hollis moves to Hope's side of the bar and takes a seat right next to her. She leans in and kisses him, he passionately kisses her back.
Hope takes his hand, "Follow me," She leads him to the small storage room and begins to take off his clothes. They continue kissing and make passionate love.
Meanwhile, back at Sinn's house...
As Wyatt, Steffy, and Finn watch on Quinn takes three necklaces out of her purse while all her beautiful grandchildren watch on. There are two necklaces in platinum and one in rose gold. They all have a Celtic knot symbol. "These are for all of you, my beautiful grandchildren. The symbol means unity. As long as this is in your heart, we will always be together, no matter what." Quinn smiles at Alex, Kelly, and Hayes. She places the necklaces on Alex and Kelly, she looks up at Steffy and Finn, she smiles and hands Hayes' to them knowing they will keep it safe until he is old enough to wear it. They smile back at her, so happy in their new family.
There is a knock at the door then Taylor bubbly lets herself in with Brandon following happily behind her, there is a big smile on her face, "Quinn! I just got the news," Taylor wraps her arms around Quinn, "I know our families have not been the best of friends, but to hear someone as loving, caring, and passionate as you is Finn's actual mother is the best news I've heard all year!" Quinn giggles hugging Taylor back.
Taylor turns to hug her daughter and son in law before turning her attention towards the three tiny humans excited to see their grandma.
Brandon gives Steffy and Finn a hug, "Long time no see," Brandon laughs with Finn as Quinn looks on confusingly,
"Oh, we play golf once a week." Finn explains to his mother.
"Speaking of golf," Brandon chimes in, "I found this for Kelly and eventually Hayes," Brandon reaches into the beach bag he brought and brings out a practice putting green, "I figured you can put it on the tennis court and practice. We need to start getting Alex into golf, he's got a lot of catching up to get to your level." He smiles and gives Kelly a wink, "Before you know it you both will be playing eighteen holes with daddy and me."
Alex and Kelly look excitedly as they examine the box, "Can we go play Mommy?"
Before Steffy can respond Taylor chimes in, "Only if you can teach me." Taylor looks back up at Steffy, Finn, Quinn, Wyatt and Brandon, "You all have a lot of very important things to discuss, just fill me in later." Taylor picks up Hayes and follows Kelly and Alex.
Wyatt turns to Finn, they both look at each other momentarily trying to navigate this new territory they are both thrown into. Finn breaks the silence, "I-I've always wondered what it would be like to have a sibling." He says not knowing what else to say.
Wyatt stares at Finn in wonder, he knew what it was like to find a long lost brother, now he would have another plus a sister. He smiles, he grabs Finn and gives him the biggest hug he can imagine. Steffy, Quinn, and Brandon all smile as they see a brotherly bond form almost immediately.
A realization dawns over Finn, "Has anyone been able to get a hold of my sister, or biological father?"
"The LAPD has been trying, I haven't heard anything yet." Quinn says unable to hide her frustration.
