Brooke apologizes to Bill for barging in on his family like this. He sighs and says she's not; Katie and the baby are sleeping. That is pretty much her routine now. She spends most of her time in the nursery. He doesn't know exactly what to tell Brooke about Eric and Taylor. She repeats again that Taylor doesn't love Eric. She is only using him. Eric is very vulnerable right now. He slept with Taylor, he let her move into his house and he appointed her son as Vice-President. Bill doesn't want Taylor to have any more influence over that company. Too late, Brooke thinks, and she suspects it will only get worse. He mulls it over for a minute and says there is something that she is gonna do. He wants her to run FC. Per Hope's request, Liam drops in to see Hope at her office. He's somewhat reluctant to be sure they have privacy and Rick isn't hanging around. Rick is on his break at Dayzee's and is sitting with Maya. He wants to hear more about her music, but she says later as she has a job to do first. He perks up when she says she could use some help. And she will even pay him, not much but what she can. Maya takes Rick to a little room and says it is Home Sweet Home. They both probably want the same thing in that they will live in a mansion someday. He helps by putting some nails in the wall to hold pictures and wags a lot of boxes into the room. She tries to pay him $10 so at least he can eat good tonight. He refuses but says he will accept a little kiss, and he kisses her on the cheek. Hope tells Liam that she has given this a lot of thought and there is something she wants him to do  marry Steffy before the baby is born. He can't imagine why she would want him to do that. She says because it is the right thing to do. It's the right thing for Steffy and for the child as well. As much as she is hurting right now, she would never want to hurt the child. And the only reason she can think of that Liam wouldn't marry Steffy is because of her. She points out that her mother and father did not stay together. Liam did not grow up in a home with both a mother and father either nor did Steffy. That cycle needs to be broken starting with "us." She really wants him to do this. And she meant not us, but Liam and Steffy. This is not easy for her. Part of her wants to claw Steffy's eyes out. The other part wants to forget this is even happening, but it is. There is a baby coming. He has to protect that child; he and his wife. She wants him to promise that he will marry Steffy before the child is born. She's relentless and keeps badgering him to promise her. She will be okay. She will be working and having a good life. As she is about to walk away, he grabs her by the arm and finally says he will do as she asks, but ..he pulls her close and hugs her, both seem to be confused as to what to do next. Steffy tells her mom that she still can't believe it's her and Eric as a couple but she's very happy for her. She feels they have turned a corner and she wants nothing but happiness for her mom. Taylor says the same; she only wants Steffy and Liam to be happy. Bill convinces Brooke that she can save FC. She's the best thing that has ever happened to Forrester Creations. She is the face of that company. When she is not convinced, he takes her to the laptop and shows her a site that is still getting million of hits .one of Brooke and her bedroom line. She agrees it did create a phenomenon and sent both Stephanie and Taylor through the roof. He tells her that she is going to re-vamp the Bedroom Line, same name, same woman in charge. But she says she is too old and a mother to boot and balks at his idea of her being the model. He tells her let him be the judge of that. Just consider it marketing research. He sits back and waits for her to undress to show her lingerie. As she disrobes, he tells her that she looks amazing and she knows it. She replies that it's good to hear that from a man; it's been so long. She wonders if they can pull this off. He tells her she is as beautiful as ever. They will run the Bedroom Line again and it will be a money maker and she will be running FC. Brooke wants to go check on Katie. Bill calls her Super Mom and wife too on that rare occasion when she is available. Brooke tells him to be patient but he says it is very hard sometimes. Katie is different; she wants him to be different. She wants him to fit into this idyllic mold that she has created. There's not much that she finds she loves about him any more. Brooke tells him no; there is a lot about him to love. He confesses that there are things about the two of them, him and Brooke, that he can't get out of his mind. She puts her hand to his mouth to shush him .then gives him a big hug.
Brooke: Katie and the baby? Bill: Sleeping. Brooke: [Sighs] I'm sorry for barging in on you and your family like this. Bill: You're not barging. Katie spends most of her time in the nursery. Brooke: She does? Bill: Look, Brooke, uh, I don't know what to tell you about Eric and Taylor. Brooke: She has an agenda. She doesn't love Eric. She's only using him. [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: I can't believe it. You and Eric? Taylor: All I can say is it feels right. Steffy: I'm happy for you. I really am. Taylor: So, how's the little one? Steffy: Oh, you know, shakin' and a-bakin'. Taylor: [Chuckles] So, where's the father-to-be? [SCENE_BREAK] Liam: Hey. Hope: Hey. Thanks for coming. Liam: Uh, yeah. Hope: So, you're probably wondering why I asked you to come here. Liam: You don't need a reason. Hope: Well, in this case, I have one. Liam: Okay. Do you, um -- do you want to do this here, or... Hope: [Chuckles] Don't -- don't worry. Rick is not in the building. I'm sure you'd rather not run into him. [SCENE_BREAK] Leilani: Oh, yeah. Just so you know, we're good without you. Rick: Are you sure? Leilani: Yeah. We got this. Rick: Thank you. Leilani: Mm-hmm. Maya: Mr. Popularity. First your girlfriend shows up, and now everyone's waiting on you. Rick: Yeah, that's just because they don't want me breaking any more dishes. Maya: Yeah, right. Rick: So, about your music... Maya: Uh, not now. I have a job to do first -- one that I could use some help with. Rick: You need my help? Maya: Well, I could do it alone, but it wouldn't be as much fun. Rick: Mm-hmm. Do you want me to guess? Maya: Hint. It's gonna take some stamina. Now do you want to guess? Rick: [Sighs] You know, I better not. I might get myself into trouble. Maya: With your girlfriend? Rick: Yeah, about that. Maya: I'm just kidding. It's legit. I'll even pay you a little bit. Not that much, but it's what I can afford. Rick: All right. All right. You got my interest. What is it? Maya: Come on. I'll show you. [SCENE_BREAK] Liam: Well, I'm glad you called. Hope: Why? Liam: You kidding? After everything that happened, I... Hope: Didn't know if I'd want to see you again? Liam: [Chuckles] Hope: So, how's Steffy? I mean, the -- the pregnancy. Liam: You know, she's taking her vitamins. The grocery bill's about to go up. Hope: [Chuckles] Liam: How are you? Hope: Great. Thinking about joining a convent. I think "Sister Mary Hope" has a great ring to it. Liam: Yeah, seriously, I kind of need to know you're okay. Hope: I'm good. I'm not happy, but I'm good. Uh, but it's you I'm worried about. It's why I wanted to see you. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: You and Liam getting all settled in? Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, it's all, uh, it's all very new. Taylor: Getting used to the idea of being parents? Steffy: Mm-hmm. Taylor: How was your first night back together? Steffy: It was lovely. Peaceful and -- and different. Taylor: Different? Steffy: Yeah. It was great, Mom... all things considered. Taylor: Well, I'm sure you were both a little overwhelmed, given, you know, the kind of day it was. Steffy: Yeah, yeah. Not exactly the way I planned it. Taylor: Well, you can thank Brooke for that. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: You're sure Taylor is living with Eric? Brooke: Yes. I told you. I was there when the movers were bringing all of the boxes in. Bill: Yeah. Then she is definitely on the offensive. Brooke: She doesn't fall for anybody that quickly, and it took her years to get over Ridge. Bill: Eric is definitely that vulnerable? Brooke: He's sleeping with her, he asked her to move in, and he appointed her son vice president. Bill: I don't want Taylor having any influence over that company. Brooke: Well, she already does. It's too late. And I'm afraid it's only going to get worse. So, what are we gonna do about it? Bill: It's what you're going to do. Brooke: Me? Bill: I felt strongly about it before, but I'm positive now. I want you running Forrester Creations, Brooke. [SCENE_BREAK] Maya: Home sweet home. What do you think? Rick: It's cool. Maya: Where do you live? Rick: Uh, a bus ride away. Maya: One room? Studio? Rick: A little bigger. Maya: I bet you have the same dream I do. Rick: What's that? Maya: To live in a mansion someday. Maybe Beverly Hills, Brentwood. Not that I'm complaining. I'm grateful to have a roof over my head. Rick: Well, dreams can come true. So, what is this job you wanted me to do? You said it required stamina. [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: I just didn't want Liam feeling trapped. Taylor: Sweetheart, you had to tell him. Steffy: Yeah, but if I didn't, he might be committed to Hope. Taylor: No, he needed to know because he's the father of the baby you're carrying. Steffy: I know. Maybe you're right. Yeah, I-I had to tell Liam the truth. Everyone needed to know. Taylor: And now we can all go on with the rest of our lives. Steffy: It's a lot easier for me than Hope. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: There's something that I want you to do for me, uh, and I've given this a lot of thought. Liam: What? Hope: I want you to marry Steffy... before the baby's born. Liam: Why -- why -- why would you ask me to do that? Hope: Because it's -- it's what's right -- for the two of you and -- and mostly for your -- your child. You don't agree? Liam: I... I don't know. I just -- I can't believe you're saying this. Hope: Well, you know, I-I grew up with a mother and father who were separated, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Liam: Yeah, but this is not your responsibility. Hope: It will be if you don't marry Steffy, because there's only one reason why you wouldn't. As much pain as I'm in right now, it would hurt me even more to know that somehow I hurt this child. Marry her, Liam. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: You need to be at Forrester so you can counter Taylor's influence. Brooke: I don't know. Bill: You understand every facet of that business, Brooke. Brooke: Yes, I do, but -- Bill: No, no, there's no -- no "Buts" -- no "Buts." You can save that company. I know you can do it. I know you can. You're a Logan. [SCENE_BREAK] Rick: That's true about everyone, though, isn't it? I mean, take you, for example. I know that you've been through some tough times... but your attitude sure doesn't show it. Maya: I'm not complainer. Rick: Sometime it's hard not to be. Maya: Oh, well, maybe if it worked for me, I'd give it a try. Rick: Look out. Talented, beautiful, and a spirit that won't quit. It's a pretty potent combination. Maya: For what? Rick: Well, for success. Happiness. Maya: I'm happy right now. No money, but I have got a roof over my head. Rick: Yes, you do. Maya: As for success, I got you to help me move in, so I'd say I'm doing pretty well. [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: It's amazing, isn't it -- the way everything's turned out? Taylor: For both of us. Steffy: You have Eric. I have Liam. Taylor: And don't worry. Hope will have someone, too. Steffy: I really want that for her. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: Tell me you'll do this. Liam: This is that important to you? Hope: It's important to your child, Liam. He or she needs to grow up with a mother and father who are together. Yours weren't. Mine weren't. Steffy's weren't. This cycle needs to break, starting with us. Liam: Us. Hope: You mean you and Steffy. Yeah, obviously. [Sighs] Look, this isn't easy for me. Part of me wants to just claw Steffy's eyes out. And the other part of me wants to pretend that my life did not end up this way, but it did. And now there is a baby coming, and you have to protect your child. You and your wife. Promise that you'll marry Steffy before the baby's born. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: Eric and Stephanie may have founded that company, but you are the best thing that ever happened over there. You, Brooke, are the face of Forrester Creations. Brooke: Oh, no, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Bill: I want to show you something. Come here. Sit down with me. All right. Let's see. Search. [Keyboard clacking] Bill: Forrester Creations. Brooke: [Chuckles] Oh, my gosh. I can't believe... Bill: That's what comes up. Do you know how many hits this clip gets even today? Millions. Brooke: Hmm. I remember how horrified Stephanie and Taylor were... but it did create a phenomenon. Bill: You're damn right, it did...and sent profits through the roof. You're going to revamp your bedroom line. Same name, same woman in charge. Brooke: Who would model it? Bill: Who else? Brooke: Not me. Bill: Why not? Brooke: [Scoffs] I'm too old. Bill: You're not too old. What are you talking about? You're as sexy as ever. Brooke: I'm a mother. Bill: Mothers can't be sexy? Brooke: Look, I love lingerie, and just because I'm wearing some right now doesn't mean I consider myself a model. Bill: Let me be the judge of that. Brooke: [Chuckling] Really? So you're gonna give me your professional opinion? Bill: Nothing but. Consider it market research. Brooke: [Sighs] Bill: Not bad. Brooke: [Chuckles] "Not bad"? That's it? Bill: You look amazing... and you know it. Brooke: It feels good to hear that from a man. It's been so long. [SCENE_BREAK] Rick: What are you doing? Maya: Paying you. Rick: No. No way. Maya: Come on. You need the money as badly as I do. $10. You can eat well tonight. Rick: Thanks, but no, thanks. Consider this my housewarming present. Maya: I can't let you walk away with nothing. Rick: Okay. Then how about this? [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: We've turned a corner, haven't we, Mom? Taylor: We sure have. Steffy: I want nothing but happiness for you. Taylor: And for you and for Liam.. and the newest little member of our tribe. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: Tell me you'll do this. Tell me you'll marry Steffy. Liam: What about you? Hope: Oh, I'll -- I'll be fine. I'll be working here, making a new life for myself -- a good life. You'll have a good life, too. That's all I ever wanted for you. Okay, now go home. [Chuckles] Liam: Okay. Okay. I'll do what you ask. I'll start my life and my family with Steffy, but, Hope, y -- Hope: Oh! [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: So, you really think we can pull this off? Bill: You can pull this off. You've done it before. You're as beautiful as ever. Brooke's Bedroom will be a money-making machine again, and you will be running Forrester Creations. Brooke: You better go check on Katie and the baby. Bill: Supermom. Brooke: Superwife. Bill: On the rare occasion she's available. Brooke: Well, she's spending time with Will, and that's a good thing. It's understandable after everything she's been through. Bill: Yeah, I know. It's just hard sometimes. Brooke: Just be patient. Bill: She's changed, Brooke. Brooke: Babies do that. Bill: It's not the baby. She's -- she's different. She wants me to be different, to -- to fit into this idyllic mold that she's created for herself. The fact is... I don't think she finds much to love about me anymore. Brooke: No. I don't believe that. There's a lot to love about you. Bill: When I think back to Aspen -- Katie sending us up there after she left Will and me. The balloon ride. The kiss at Big Bear. I tried to tell myself that the feelings I had were a result of the vulnerable positions that we were both put in. But it's more than that, Brooke. And I can't get it out of my mind. Brooke: Shh!
