Previously in Secret Rendezvous: all hell broke lose and the man that sent the video was exposed (almost)!

Some Secret Place

"It looks like I can't hide anymore mom. What do I do? I don't know if I can go back there." a mysterious blonde says

"We might not have a choice." A familiar brunette says back.

"How do I let them know that she is my baby. I want Steffy to raise her like we planned mom. But how do we fix this?" the blonde says back.

The burenttes phone beeps. She is suddenly watching a video.

"You know it means a lot, just knowing that you care." Hope says as she plays with her fingers.

"Hope, of course I care. You are a fantastic woman, okay? You're – You're an amazing mother, a fashion icon." Finn says as he looks the blonde woman in the eyes.

"Uh I – I think you're talking about Steffy."

"I'm talking about you. No, I – I genuinely appreciate the meaning behind Hope for the Future. I mean, infusing a social message with your line and making a difference in the betterment of people's lives. I just, How could I not admire you? Respect you? You fully embody the name of your line, Hope for the Future." They both smile at each other and let out a smile laugh. The blonde starts to rub the back of her neck.

"Headache?"

"Yeah..." the young woman replies

"Yeah, yeah." Finn says before her slowly cups the sides of Hope's face in his hands. Their eyes lock, then she slowly looks down to his lips. As Finn slowly rubs the back of Hope's neck, she starts to lean in, seeing this, so does he, their lips meet in a quick kiss. They quickly pull back and lock eyes again, then start to kiss more passionately. Finn breaks the kiss only so he can move his lips to her collar bone. The blonde sighs in pleasure. Unbeknownst to them, there is someone at the door watching and recording the pair.

The pair breaks apart, both breathing heavily. Finn keeps rubbing her neck as they try to calm down,

"Now I get why Steffy is the way she is with you." Hope says, still a little breathless.

"Hope, I..."

"It's okay Finn, I won't say anything." she interrupts him.

"I need to go home, I am sure Steffy is waiting for me." He continues to rub her neck.

"Okay." Hope says, not moving or having Finn stop rubbing her neck. She closes her eyes, leaning into his hands. He finally removes his hands and stands up. He turns to go, but at the door he stops.

"You are one hell of a woman Hope Logan." he says and walks out the door.

"What in the hell?" She says, shocked and upset over what she was watching. She hands the phone to her daughter.

The younger woman says, a flash of almost hazel eyes seen, "Are you serious? I thought they had a solid marriage."

Hospital

All eyes are on the man that is just inside the doorway, making it so Ridge and Brooke couldn't come in the room. He moved to the side and both Ridge and Brooke's eyes widen in recognition.

"Why would you hurt Hope this way Thomas? I thought you loved her."

"I do, that is why I did this. She needs to be accountable for her actions and secrets." He says, defending himself. Suddenly Steffy's phone rings.

"Hi mom, how are you?" She asks. " You saw it too? Do you know who sent it?"She spits out, glaring at her brother. "Yeah, a lot is going on here and I need to go. You might want to call Thomas later." she says and hangs up. Her eyes go to the door way where nurse Kimberly stands, envelopes in her hand.

"What are those?" Brooke asks, eyeing the white envelopes.

"I have the results here. Steffy Forrester" She says and hands the woman news that will shock everyone. "Liam Spencer..." she says, handing the answers to him and says, "I hope these are the answers you want."

Steffy opens the envelope, Hope standing right behind her to see what it says. The darker haired woman stands there, eyes wide. "She isn't Beth, I can get her back!" she exclaims, looking at her rival. She turns to Liam, "I am going to go be with my baby, but first, what about Hayes, who is his father?" she asks.

Liam opens the envelope and just starts crying, glad to finally have a son. "We have a son Steffy.? He says, walking over to the woman he has loved for so long. He looks at her and cups her face in his hand and gives her a sweet, but passionate kiss.
