Chapter 11:

Zoe is looking through designs on the rack at design studio at Forrester , she doesn't realize that Flo walks in as she is looking though the clothing. Flo spins Zoe around, "How am I supposed to live with this?!" Flo demands.

"What are you talking about?" As Zoe asks. As no one realizes Thomas has walked into the studio, he hears the intensity and hides to hear what they have to say.

"You know what I mean, Hope is now my sister! We have visited our father together! How am I supposed to see her daily knowing I literally sold her daughter to Steffy Forrester!"

After Thomas heard this his head spun. Did he hear correctly, was Phoebe...Beth?!

Before Zoe can say anything Thomas comes out from the clothing racks, "What are you talking about!"

Both Flo and Zoe look stunned, they are both just staring at Thomas unable to talk, "I'm giving you one chance to tell me what is going on."

Zoe quickly speaks up, "I'm sorry Thomas, but your sister's adopted daughter...is Hope's biological daughter." Zoe takes a deep breath in, "My father did it," Zoe says as she looks disgusted, "I'm so sorry, I know I should have said something earlier, but I didn't want my father to go to jail. And that on itself was selfish and more wrong than I can ever make up for."

Thomas can't believe what he is hearing. Flo starts to speak up, "Thomas, please don't say anything. I can't go to jail." Flo pleads.

Thomas just stares daggers into her, she continues, "Thomas please, I just reconnected with the love of my life. I can't lose him again."

"The love of your life?" Thomas says quietly but angrily, "Hope thinks her daughter died months ago! My sister is going to have her adopted daughter ripped from her home! Do you think I care about the love of your life?!"

Flo not ready to lose this battle yet, "I know that you and Hope have gotten close. If you tell her then her and Liam are going to get back together, you'll lose any chance you had."

Thomas cannot believe her trying to bribe him, "That doesn't matter, none of that matters. What matters is that a DNA test is done and that innocent little baby is where she belongs." Zoe and Flo exchange nervous glances. "I'm going to the police." Thomas turns and leaves.

Flo decides she is not going to stick around and get arrested. She turns to run. Zoe grabs her phone and calls her father.

At the police station, Thomas bursts in quickly. Lieutenant Baker looks up from his desk to see Thomas Forrester in the station looking panicked. He comes out of his office, "Mr. Forrester. What can I do for you?"

"Lieutenant Baker!" Thomas exclaims, "I just overheard some disturbing information. I was at work and overheard Flo Fuller and Zoe Buckingham discussing my sister's adopted daughter Phoebe."

Lieutenant Baker is trying to figure out where Thomas is going with this. Thomas continues, "They said Beth, Hope and Liam's daughter did not die, that Flo passed her off as Phoebe and trafficked her. They tricked Steffy into believing she was the mother giving her child up for adoption."

Lieutenant Baker cannot believe what he is hearing, "Mr. Forrester, these are serious accusations. Are you sure that is what you heard?"

"Positive, I would not come here saying this knowing how this is going to destroy Steffy."

"Ok, we need to do a DNA test on Phoebe Forrester. You had better come with us to your sisters, she is going to need all the support she can get."

Thomas nods, dreading how this news is going to crumble Steffy's world. But she has to know, everyone has to know. Lieutenant Baker makes a few phone calls then comes back out. "Are you ready?" He asks Thomas.

Thomas takes a deep breath and nods, "Lets go."
