Chapter 2

Forrester Creations

Hope sits staring off into space, memories of Finn's kiss lingering. She plays with her lips, thinking how she had never felt a kiss like that before, not Liam, not Oliver, not Thomas. Everything stopped when Finn's lips met her's in that kiss. She knew what she wanted and all she had to do was figure out how to get it.

"Mom might know a way, but do I want her to know what I am up to?" The blonde asks herself. She sits for a few minutes and decides her mom is her best bet on how to achieve her goal. She gets up, grabbing her purse and phone and heads out if the office.

Cliff House

"Hey honey!" Steffy says, walking over to the door. Finn moves so that Liam has to back up. Steffy puts her arms around her husband, but she can feel something is off. She looks at Liam and her eyes are asking him to go.

"Well, I need to go pick up the girls." Liam says as he tries to head for the door. Finn moves so that the other man can get to the door. Liam leaves, the couple left standing in the doorway. The couple moves to the couch and sits down.

"How was your day?" Finn asks Steffy, trying to forget the kiss with Hope. He really needed to decide if he was going to tell his wife what happened.

"The usual, went to the office and took care of a few fires that had popped up over the night. Liam came over to get Kelly's things for soccer tomorrow. Other than that, trying to decide the best course of action with Hope for the Future.,"

Finn looks down at his hands, the hands that had caressed Hope just minutes ago. He looks back at his wife determined to tell her what had happened. Steffy's phone rings, she get up to get it.

"Hey Liam, what's up?" there is a pause, "What happened, is Kelly okay?" she

asks, I'll be right there." she says and ends the call. She turns to her husband, "They think Beth is something is wrong with Beth, I have to go get Kelly." she says grabbing her purse and keys and heading out the front door.

"I can't tell her what happened, it would destroy my marriage." Finn says to himself, realizing that Steffy could never know about the kiss.

Cliff House

Steffy knocks on the door. It is immediately opened and a frantic looking Liam opens the door.

"Thank you for getting here so quickly and sorry if I interrupted plans."

"No, it's okay. I just hope Beth is okay."

"We are heading out right now. I just wish I could get Hope on the phone, she isn't answering me calls or texts. It's not like her." He says, the stress evident in his voice.

"Just go Liam, I will continue to try to call her on my way home."Steffy says, grabbing Kelly's hand and leading her out the door while Liam carries a pink cheek Beth to his car.

"I hope she will answer my call. I am sure if I text her 911 she will respond." Steffy says t herself as she loads Kelly in the car. She texts "911, it's Beth.", then slides into the driver seat. She puts her phone in the holder and starts to head home.

Hospital

Liam rushes in with an unconscious Beth in his harms. "I need help!" he yells. A nurse comes forward with a gurney, he gently lays his daughter down.

"What happened?" the nurse asks a frantic Liam.

"I don't know. She suddenly was flushed and lethargic with no temperature. On the way here she passed out." he tells the woman as the rush to a room.

"How long ago was that sir?" she asks.

"About 5-7 minutes ago I think. I kept looking at her in the mirror and I noticed she was out about 5 minutes ago. I looked in the mirror every couple of minutes." Liam tells her as more doctors and nurses arrive and start putting wires everywhere.

"She is tachicardic, no fever, blood pressure is 70 over 52." one of the nurses are saying.

"What's going on?" Liam asks, worried.

"Someone get him out of here please?" The original nurse says. Another nurse grabs Liam's arm and starts trying to pull him away.

"Sir, we are trying to figure out what is going on. But you need to go wait in the waiting room, please?" asks the nurse trying to get the very frantic Liam out of the room. "We will give you updates as we have them. But the best way to help your daughter is to let us help her and that means you in the waiting room." she says gently.

"Please help her?" he says pleadingly, and then leaves the room. As he walks through the door he pulls his phone out to see if Hope had called back yet. Seeing that the only messages were from Steffy, he calls her as he walks the hall to the waiting room.

"Hi Steffy." he says forlornly.

"Liam, how is she?" she asks, worried.

"I don't know. They are trying to figure it out now. I know they said she is tachicardic, her blood pressure is low and she doesn't have a fever. But she lost consciences on the way her and was still unconscious when I just left the room." he updates the worried brunette.

"She will be okay. I still haven't reached Hope. I sent her a text that said '911 It's Beth'. So I am still waiting for a response." Steffy tells Liam. "I am thinking of stopping by the cabin to see if she is there." she says, thinking it is odd that nobody can reach Hope.

"Okay, thank you Steffy." he responds and hangs up the call.

Brooke's mansion

"Hi mom, is Ridge home? Hope asks when her mother answers the door.

"No, he was stopping by the office. Is everything okay?" Brooke asks.

"I need your help with something. But it has to be between you and me, can you do that?" The younger blonde asks.

"Of course sweetheart, whatever you need." she says to her daughter.

"There is this man I want, but he is already in a relationship and has a child." Hope says to her mom.

"Are you sure? This isn't like you." her mother asks.

"I am sure mom. When he kissed me it was like everything disappeared. I have never felt that way with any man." she replies, a far away look in her eyes.

"If that is what you want, then I will do anything I can to help. The first step is to slowly start seducing him, she a little cleavage, shorter skirts, heals..." Brooke tapers off. "Make sure you have lingerie handy too. In fact, wear some under your clothes, or even as part of your outfit." Brooke teaches her daughter. "Should we design some or you can look through my closet?"

A little bit of both I think. Going through you closet will give me time to have someone design some for me." Hope says.

"Sounds good, come on up stairs and take a look." the older woman says to her daughter. Hope sets her purse and keys on the table and follows her mom up the stairs.
