Chapter 13

Previously on Secret Rendezvous: Taylor and Phoebe land in LA and Bridgette comes home

Hotel Room:

"I can't believe I am back home. I just wish it was going to be longer and more joyous. " Phoebe says as she puts on her lip gloss.

"It's past time it is happening. I have hated keeping this secret, especially from your brother and sister. We were all in so much pain when we thought you had died." Taylor says, looking at her daughter. They grab their purses and head out the door. Downstairs they hail a cab and head to the hospital.

Hospital: Phoebe's Room

Liam sits and stares at Steffy and Phoebe as they both sleep. He couldn't believe his luck that he had these two beauties in his life and that Hope was no longer a part of it. After everything that had come to light, he wanted nothing to do with her. He thought that her kissing Thomas had hurt him, but that was nothing compared to the pain he felt knowing he had lost all that time with Hayes. He is brought out of his thoughts by nurse Kimberly walking into the room.

"Good morning Mr. Spencer, how are you?" she kindly asks, which wakes Steffy. "I am sorry Mrs. Finnegan, I didn't mean to disturb you."

"Please, call me Steffy." the other woman replies with a smile.

"Steffy, we have your test results." the nursed says with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh god, please tell me it's good news." The raven haired beauty pleads.

"You are a perfect match. In fact we re-ran the tests cause you were such a close match to the child, it was like you were her biological mother." the red haired nurse replied.

"How can that be?" Steffy wonders out loud

"I can answer that." Taylor says from the doorway.

"Mom?" the younger beauty says in confusion, getting up from the chair.

"You might want to sit down sweetie." the older woman says, walking into the room. "I have been keeping a secret." She looks towards the doorway where Phoebe stands.

Brooke's Mansion

"I can't believe you Brooke, that you would condone Hope's actions like that. That is my daughter's marriage she was messing with. I don't care how angry she is, that is unacceptable." Ridge all but yells at his ex-wife. Suddenly, his phone rings. He looks down to see that it is Taylor calling. "Hi Doc. What's going on?" His face grows pale and then red in anger. "What in the hell are you saying? What is it with the secrets around here?" He ends the call and walks out of the house.

Hospital : Phoebe's Room

Steffy's face pales as she looks at the sister that she thought was dead, that she had mourned. "I don't understand."

"I gave birth to phoebe, but I want you to raise her. As for me, I had no choice. I am in total danger. Nobody can know that I am alive and that I gave birth to her. Do you understand?" Just then Ridge walks in the room.

"Phoebe... how... how is this possible?" he asks, lightly touching his daughter's face. "I watched you die." he continues to lightly caress her face,

"Dad, nobody can know I am alive. I am in danger. I have to go back into hiding. But first I have to help my niece." she looks to nurse Kimberly, "What do you need from me? " she asks.

"Just to be safe, let's get your blood and bone marrow. You should be able to leave tomorrow morning," she tells her. "And we will put you in the system as someone else. Who have you been going by?"

"Melissa Gibbs" Phoebe tells Kimberly.

"Well, Ms. Gibbs, it you will follow me." she says and starts to walk away.

"We can't lose her again. What are we going to do?" Steffy asks to nobody in particular.

"We have to follow her wishes. I know that it is hard, but it is in her best interest." Taylor says.

"It must be easy for you mom, you get to have contact with her." Steffy slings at her mother.

"Steffy has a point. You have known our daughter was alive and didn't say anything. I can't lose her again. " Ridge adds.

"I had no choice. She told me if I mentioned her to anyone she would leave." Taylor says. As Phoebe comes in wearing wearing scrubs and a hospital gown.

'Mom is right, I did tell her that I would leave again and find another place to hide." Big Phoebe adds. "If everyone will wait I will tell you what is going on." She tells the group.

Hospital: Corridor

Bridgette comes across an unconscious Hope laying on the ground. 'Help! I need a gurney! I have an unconscious woman here." she yells, while checking her vitals

"Here." Finn says, pushing a gurney in their direction. "What happened" he asks as he carries the younger woman and sets her gently down.

"I don't now, I as just walking along and found her there. It's a good thing though since she

tachycardic. We need to check her blood pressure" she tells Finn. They wheel Hope into a room and Bridget starts really checking her vitals. The man just kind of stands there looking at the young woman.

"Come on Hope, you can't give up,you are so strong baby." he says without thinking and the older blonde's head shoots up in surprise. She had thought Dr. Finnegan was married to Steffy. She looks down at his left hand and sees the wedding ring. Before she can say anything Hope begins to wake up.

"Wha... What happened?" the young woman asks, groggily.

"We don't know, you were found laying passed out." Finn replied in a more professional manner.

"I came to see Phoebe and suddenly got really dizzy. I must have passed out." Hope replied, still groggy.

"Let's run a few tests and scans. Is that okay?" Her sister asked her politely.

"That's fine."comes the reply.

"Is there any chance your pregnant?" Bridget asks.

"Ummmm..." comes an uncertain response.
